Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 214
The Xiongnu suffered huge losses. Although the Xiongnu Shanyu still has 5000 elite soldiers who have not moved, there are still more than 6000 cavalry on the battlefield, and nearly [-] wounded soldiers have withdrawn from the battlefield. The rear was rested, but, from the beginning of the war to the present, the losses of the Northern Border Army were not very large.

As the attacking Huns, they have already lost their vitality.Of course, there are still many Xiongnu soldiers who did not die in battle on the battlefield, and the Xiongnu Shanyu is ordering rescue. It is roughly estimated that the total number of these wounded soldiers will not be less than 1.

In hand-to-hand combat like this, under normal circumstances, there will definitely not be many direct deaths. Of course, except for some extreme ones, such as those cavalry and infantry fighting against the trapped camp and the Huben army, they are basically uninjured. It is also impossible to survive.

Most of the casualties came from Huben and the battle. The total number of Hun soldiers who died in their hands was no less than [-]. This only refers to those killed in battle. As for the rest of the casualties, they were more attributed to the bows of the Northern Xinjiang Army The crossbow and the early traps mostly injured, and most of those who died in battle died under the horseshoes of their companions.

Except for the 3 Xiongnu cavalry who were chasing the White Robe Army, the Frontier Army, and the [-] elite northern Xinjiang cavalry, the Huns had left nearly [-] corpses on this battlefield. For the Huns, it was definitely a heavy blow. These are [-] young and strong, and they are all qualified grassland cavalry.

On the other hand, the current casualty rate of the cavalry such as the Northern Army, the White Robe Army, and the Xuanfeng Army is still unknown. On the side of the chariot formation, the combined casualties did not exceed [-]. There is no way, the Northern Army has made too many preparations, and the injured Most of them are recruits.

However, from the beginning of the war to the present, almost all the troops of the Northern Xinjiang Army have fought against the soldiers of the Huns. Although they used wheel warfare and got a certain amount of rest, compared with the Huns, there are still [-] elites who have been fighting against the Huns. Without using it, the Northern Xinjiang Army is clearly at a disadvantage.

Except for Gongsunxu's [-] tiger and cardinal cavalry and some recruits, the rest of the troops have more or less wounded soldiers, even the tiger and cardinal army is no exception. up.The attack of the Huns just now was too violent, coupled with the desperate attack of that group of people, the northern border army was able to hold it thanks to the sufficient preparations before.

It is not easy for the Northern Army, but it is even more difficult for the Xiongnu, especially the Shanyu, who killed so many people, but only filled the traps of the Northern Army on the periphery and smashed the obstacles in front of the Northern Army. Of course, if the fight continues, it is still possible to defeat the Northern Border Army, but the price is not so small.

The Huns are in trouble, and the Northern Army is not at ease. Gao Shun has received reports from his subordinates that the arrows of the crossbowmen are almost gone. There is no way. The hand has never stopped. While the crossbowmen achieved great results, they also wasted a lot of arrows.

In order to save arrows, Gao Shun immediately ordered that the number of crossbowmen be reduced to 3000, and the rest would pick up their spears and prepare for hand-to-hand combat. In this way, each crossbowman would still have ten arrows to use. For a while.

The ballista was alright, the arrows were not wasted much, the point is, the ballista showed its power a little at the beginning, and there was no chance to use it at all.Next, the Northern Border Army may have to face a brutal hand-to-hand combat.

However, there is one thing to pay attention to. Gongsun Xu still brought [-] heavy armored cavalry after thinking before dispatching troops. Armored cavalry can still play the role of a killer.

Faced with such a severe situation, Gao Shun was not frightened, he was still commanding the operation of the whole army calmly.

"My lord, I'm afraid the Huben army and the trapped camp are not suitable to be deployed now." Gao Shun said to Gongsun Xu who was beside him.

Gongsun Xu nodded and replied: "Forget it, the consumption of the veterans is a bit high, we can't continue fighting like this, let the Iron Spearmen take the lead, and the recruits should accept the baptism of war, otherwise, when the veterans finish fighting, the recruits will probably be killed." Break up. Let go and fight, we will definitely win."

The confident Gongsun Xu didn't say anything else. Gao Shun felt strong self-confidence from him. Although he wasn't sure why this happened, Gao Shun had reason to believe that he could win. It's just a group of herdsmen.

The Northern Frontier Army is in the front line, and the iron spearmen are in the front line. This time, the iron spearmen lined up in five rows. This is also the last iron spearman. Most of them are recruits. Behind the iron spearmen are long spearmen. Then there is the sword and shield hand, the sword and shield hand can be combined with the pikemen at any time.

The ballista has been arranged behind the iron spearmen. This time, if only relying on the iron spearmen, it may be difficult to withstand the impact of the Huns cavalry. Even if there is a danger of being destroyed, the ballista must still be used. Otherwise, The soldiers lost a lot, and the ballista may still be destroyed.

At the front, the corpses of the Xiongnu army were piled up layer by layer, and those usable chariots were also placed in front of the Iron Spearmen. Anyway, they were useful as obstacles, and the Northern Xinjiang Army tried their best to use them.

On the Xiongnu side, they rescued most of the wounded on the battlefield, and the battlefield was cleaned up to a certain extent. Next, it was time to attack again. The Huns cavalry were constantly yelling in formation, ready to mount their horses to attack at any time.

The centurions and thousand commanders of the Huns were organizing the cavalry to re-line up. At the same time, in order to boost morale, these Hun chiefs who had just been defeated kept shouting: "Han dogs are nothing more than that, we are brave Hun warriors who are good at fighting. As long as you charge once, the Han Dog will definitely be defeated,,,,,,"

Similar words kept ringing out, but it was not known whether these empty words would have much effect on the shocking Hun cavalry.

Opposite the Xiongnu army, in the northern border army formation, those generals and grassroots officers were also encouraging the soldiers. Some generals shouted: "The Huns are nothing but thieves, and the northern border army will surely win..."

After experiencing the victory just now, many recruits began to firmly believe that their side would win. Tens of thousands of Hun cavalry charged, but they were still defeated. Nothing can be more inspiring than this. The corpses of tens of thousands of Hun soldiers are in front. If they dare to continue to attack, they will leave more corpses behind.

At this time, Dian Wei received the order to continue to rest and recuperate, but he didn't want to rest. The Huben Army was not tired at all, and there was no need to rest. The Huben Army would continue to fight. Only fighting can reflect the value of the Huben Army.

However, Gao Shun rejected Dian Wei's request. Without him, now is not the time for the Huben Army to fight. However, the soldiers of the Huben Army are warriors who have experienced too much life and death. They are fearless. Next, the soldiers of the Huben Army shouted in unison: "Hu Ben is willing to fight, kill all the Huns, Huben is willing to fight, kill all the Huns..."

Compared with the restlessness of the Huben army, the soldiers in the trapped camp sat quietly and continued to rest. When there was no order, their task was to rest and recover their physical strength quickly, because at critical moments, they would definitely be there.

Gao Shun looked at the noisy Huben Army, and all the recruits also looked sideways at the Huben Army who was asking for a battle. Their eyes were full of awe. This is a veteran of hundreds of battles. No matter how tough the Huns are, these warriors still bravely stepped forward .

However, if the Huben Army continues to make trouble like this, it will definitely affect Gao Shun's majesty. In normal times, Gao Shun will definitely order punishment. However, the Huben Army is Gongsun Xu's personal guard, and Gao Shun does not have the right to do so. .

Gongsun Xu was also aware of this situation, and he immediately stepped forward and pointed at the Huben army and shouted: "Quiet."

After shouting this word, the Huben army immediately fell silent. Then, Gongsun Xu stared angrily at the warriors in the army. These warriors also stared at Gongsun Xu with their heads up. They were waiting for Gongsun Xu's order. Gongsun Xu once again Roared: "Take a rest."

This time, the soldiers of the Huben Army carried out Gongsun Xu's order without hesitation, and even the most noisy Dian Wei immediately sat down to check his battle armor, and at the same time ate some dry food to recover his strength as soon as possible.

Gao Shun shook his head and said: "The soldiers are too wild. It's better not to fall into the camp. No one in the world can command the Huben army except the Lord."

Gongsun Xu didn't answer, he understood what Gao Shun meant, but Gongsun Xu had his own ideas.

The Huns did not wait any longer. After a quarter of an hour, their formation was assembled. Next, they were about to launch an attack. The sound of horseshoes came, and the Northern Army did not rest. All the troops entered In the state of combat readiness, the iron gunmen in the front row only held the big iron guns in their hands.

At this time, Gongsun Xu looked at the sky and sighed: "It's been almost two hours since the battle, and it's enough for them to turn around. Zhengfang, hurry up and command, this contest will soon end."

Gao Shun nodded. Although he hadn't figured out what Gongsun Xu meant, he knew one thing in his heart, that is, Gongsun Xu's battles were absolutely intertwined, one move after another, and he would never give the Xiongnu Opportunity to fight back.

Now, most of the obstacles in the chariot formation on my side have been cleared, and there are only [-] crossbowmen left. From this point of view, it seems that it is really time for the Huns to counterattack, and the Huns still have [-] soldiers. The elite didn't move out, no matter how you look at it, it seems that the good days of the Northern Xinjiang Army are over.

However, Gao Shun knew better, the more this happened, the more it proved one thing, that is, the follower arranged by Gongsun Xu was about to appear.

This time, the Huns did not go crazy and let tens of thousands of cavalry attack together. In order to reduce casualties and increase the attack effect, the Huns once again ruthlessly drove a thousand horses into the battle. They could have driven more, but, Once the horse stops or runs back, it will affect the attack on its own side.

Five thousand Huns cavalry followed closely behind, followed by five thousand infantry reorganized by the Huns. Although the Huns were good at cavalry, the dismounted Huns were still fierce. In order to deal with the infantry of the Northern Xinjiang Army, They also went all out.
