Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 283 Temptation 2
Tie Kun is not a brainless brat. Anyway, he has experienced many battles on the grassland. In the past, Tie Kun can also perform very well in the battles with Xianbei and Qiang. When killing the enemy, Tie Kun can be regarded as a rare warrior among the Huns.

Now, in the eyes of Tie Kun, the [-] cavalry in front of the Northern Border Army are simply rookies. How can such cavalry go to the battlefield? If this is a battle with the Xianbei or the Qiang people, Tie Kun must have launched an attack, because The opponent has too many loopholes.

However, now Tie Kun's opponent is Gongsun Xu, he dare not act rashly, he still clearly remembers the lesson from last time, it was because he underestimated the enemy that he gave Gongsun Xu a chance, so this time, Tie Kun must deal with it carefully .

However, as a battle-tested veteran, Tie Kun can also see that the performance of the northern army on the opposite side is not pretending. If he misses such a good opportunity and does not attack, he will feel sorry for himself.

After much deliberation, Tie Kun decided to try it out according to the original plan. Anyway, now that the main force of the forward selection army has been diverted away, even if there is a trap ahead, as long as he is not dragged back.

After a while, horns sounded on the side of the Xiongnu army, and the two thousand-man teams in the front row slowly set off and ran forward. This was the first tentative attack of the Huns. level.

The distance between the two sides was far enough for the cavalry to sprint and fight. The Northern Xinjiang Army also sounded horns. At this time, among the cavalry in front of the Northern Xinjiang Army, Zhang Jaw shouted at the three thousand cavalry behind him: "Soldiers, Follow me."

Just now, Zhang Jai was still thinking about the scene when Gongsun Xu discussed the military situation with him a few days ago. After Zhang Jai was reprimanded by Gongsun Xu that day, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, so he went back and locked himself up After thinking about it carefully, I vaguely figured out what Gongsun Xu meant.

Generally speaking, when the enemy and us are at war, if one side is besieged, then this side will naturally want to break out of the siege or find a way to get out of the siege, otherwise there will be a situation of being suppressed and beaten by the enemy.

Therefore, when the Northern Army was attacked by the Huns and retreated to the camp, most of the soldiers of the Northern Army felt that they had lost, especially in the ensuing battle, when the Northern Army was blocked by the Huns. Can't get out of the camp.

This situation has been maintained for more than half a month. The Huns have besieged the Beijiang army camp. No matter who sees it, they will feel that the Beijiang army can't even fly out. Therefore, Most soldiers of the Northern Xinjiang Army thought of breaking through or asking Gongsun Xu for help.

But is it actually the case?Zhang Jai thought about it carefully, and suddenly found that the main generals in the camp didn't take the siege seriously at all. Facing the Huns' attack, General Gao Shun commanded calmly alone, and didn't take advantage of the Huns at all.

On the other side of the water village, Gan Ning often led the navy to go out in the middle of the night to make a fuss, making a lot of noise, causing the Huns to dispatch at least 2 people to patrol the other side of the river every time, strictly guarding against sneak attacks from their own side. , But in the end it just increased the fatigue of the soldiers.

In addition, in the camp, General Huang Zhong devoted himself to the training of the infantry, General Zhang Fei was rectifying the heavy armored cavalry, and General Zhao Yun led the white-robed army to train the cavalry of the new army, unless General Gao Shun ordered, Otherwise, the three of them would not talk to the Huns outside the camp at all.

After thinking about all this, Zhang Jai suddenly realized that he had been in a misunderstanding from the very beginning. It was a fact that the camp was besieged, but this did not bring any losses to the Northern Frontier Army, except when it was attacked by the Huns at the beginning. Except for the fact that the army was almost disrupted, the two sides were almost evenly tied next.

Moreover, the 1 soldiers who chose the front have never returned to the camp, giving people the illusion of being surrounded and wiped out. Many soldiers speculate whether the entire army of the [-] soldiers who have chosen the front has been wiped out. Fengjun is doing well now, without much loss.

After sorting out his thoughts, Zhang Jai seemed to understand what Gongsun Xu and the two military advisers in the camp were going to do. Since the Huns like to besiege the Northern Frontier Army, then let them besiege, anyway, nothing will be lost.

After Zhang Jai told Gongsun Xu about his thoughts, Gongsun Xu finally didn't reprimand him, but instead asked him and Huang Xu to rectify the [-] cavalry of the Black Mountain Army. There was no suitable general for the time being, so Gongsun Xu handed over the mess to Zhang Ja and Huang Xu.

When he learned that the Xiongnu had [-] cavalrymen coming to harass him, Gongsun Xu gave Zhang Jai an order to allow defeat but not to win. When he received this military order, Zhang Jai could only smile wryly. He understood the military order. The meaning of it is, but, to let him carry out this order is indeed a bit deceitful.

After Zhang Jai led the army to accelerate slowly, Huang Xu also immediately commanded the formation of [-] cavalry behind him. However, he did not intend to lead the troops himself.

Not long after, the cavalry in the field gradually accelerated. The cavalry on Zhang Jaw's side adopted a conical charge formation. The key point of this formation is that the cavalry must maintain the density of the formation. At the same time, the cavalry at the forefront must be brave enough Zhang Jai was afraid that others would not be up to the commanding duties, so he took command at the front.

The Xiongnu cavalry also gradually increased their speed to the fastest speed. However, they only had 2000 people, and they did not list any dense formations. Because the field was large enough, the soldiers were scattered. However, the Huns cavalry held the reins with one hand. One hand held the bow.

The distance between the formations of the two armies was more than 300 steps, which was enough for the cavalry to charge. Soon, the distance between the cavalry of the two sides was less than [-] steps. , everyone firmly controlled the horses and lowered their heads slightly.

At this time, the Hun cavalry had a faint posture of avoiding to the two sides. However, due to the short distance, the speed of the horses was too fast, and the tacit understanding between the cavalry was not enough, the Hun cavalry had not yet been able to change their formation. come over.

At a short distance of fifty steps, most of the Xiongnu cavalry clamped their horses with their legs, and then bent their bows and shot arrows at the Northern Army cavalry. This change seemed to have been expected by Zhang Jaw. Try to protect the key parts with armor and cavalry shields. Facing the enemy's bows and arrows, they can only resist hard.

Fortunately, most of the arrows of the Xiongnu cavalry are made of bronze, and many of them are animal bones. It is difficult for such arrows to pierce the armor of the cavalry of the Northern Frontier Army. May be fatal.

The cavalry of the two sides did not fight at all. The Xiongnu cavalry who were closer to the cavalry of the Northern Xinjiang Army suffered a disadvantage. Many cavalry of the Huns were overthrown, and even a few Xiongnu cavalry collided head-on with the cavalry of the Northern Xinjiang Army because they could not control their horses. , and finally ended up being trampled into flesh.

A charge ended soon, and the cavalry of both sides passed each other. After they were far away, Zhang Jaw reorganized the cavalry formation again. However, in comparison, the efficiency of the Huns cavalry was much higher. They did not It was necessary to maintain the formation, and all the cavalry turned their horses as quickly as possible, preparing for a surprise attack on the Northern Army.

At this moment, Zhang Jaw was also very angry. Gongsun Xu gave him the order to allow defeat and not to win. However, in the current situation, there is no possibility of victory. The Hun cavalry is at his level in terms of individual quality and overall coordination. On the side, if it is a real fight with real swords and guns, my side may still have an advantage, but now the Huns don't fight with me at all, and they even adopt this loose formation when they charge.

There is no need for Zhang Jaw to release the water by himself. If he can't adjust in time, Zhang Jaw feels that he may suffer a big loss.

In the fight just now, the arrows of the Huns took the lives of more than 100 soldiers of the Northern Frontier Army. The number of injured is probably around 400, and there may be more. However, the Huns only paid 80 soldiers. For the price, the number of injured should be relatively small, at most dozens of people.

With such a record, Zhang Jaw feels that he has never had it in his life. This is not fighting, this is purely being beaten.

Seeing that the Huns cavalry had started to run back, but his side hadn't even lined up yet, Zhang Jaw was really anxious now, and he immediately asked Huang Xu to blow the horn to signal.

After Huang Xu heard the horn, another 2000 cavalry rushed out. At this moment, Huang Xu in front of the cavalry muttered to himself: "Zhang Jaw is really good at acting, and it looks like a real thing." Same."

The level of these two thousand cavalry is better than that of Zhang Jai. They are chasing the Hun cavalry. At this moment, although Tie Kun discovered the abnormality of the cavalry of the Northern Xinjiang Army, he did not immediately increase his troops. However, he would not Let the cavalry on his side be besieged by the opponent, and after Huang Xu sent out the cavalry, Tie Kun also ordered someone to blow the horn to signal the cavalry to come back.

Zhang Jaw is trying his best to control the chaotic subordinates. It is really troublesome to bring such a rookie cavalry on the battlefield. It may be much better if the army is in a melee. In the melee, it is the ability of individual soldiers to fight. But now, Zhang Jaw has to think There is a way to keep the soldiers in formation, otherwise if they are disrupted, they may be defeated.

Fortunately, the two thousand cavalry sent by Huang Xu slowed down the Hun cavalry, and the Hun cavalry had to slow down to entangle with the 2000 people.However, the formation of the two thousand cavalry was not very dense, and their weapons were not spears or large spears, but short spears specially made by the Northern Border Army.

At a distance of fifty steps, the Huns cavalry began to shoot arrows, and soldiers of the Northern Xinjiang Army continued to be hit by arrows. However, when the distance was shortened to thirty steps, the short spears of the Northern Xinjiang Army began to show their power. Losses are also gradually increasing.

Taking advantage of this gap, Zhang Jai had already led the cavalry to charge back, but the other 2000 people did not fight the Huns cavalry to death. After a while, both sides ran back to their own formation.

This first fight showed that it was a tie. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Northern Frontier Army suffered a loss. They used 5000 talents to cause hundreds of losses to the opponent. On their side, the wounded were even worse. many.

After the first tentative attack, Tie Kun immediately made adjustments and prepared for the next trial.
