Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 318
The fighting between the soldiers of both sides attracted the attention of onlookers on both sides. The Xiongnu Shanyu still has [-] mobile forces here. It's not that he dare not attack the whole army at once, but, in the current situation, it is still necessary to leave some mobile forces for Sure enough.

There is no news of the [-] cavalry sent out earlier to hold back the frontier army, and the Xiongnu Shanyu is not sure whether the [-] cavalry can stop the frontier army. Not very beneficial.

On the current battlefield, the [-] elite soldiers of the Northern Border Army have withstood the strong attack of the [-] cavalry of the Huns. No matter how brave the Northern Border Army is, it will definitely not work if they are always being beaten like this. The number of Huns on the side is after all There are too many, and the soldiers of the Northern Xinjiang Army may not last long.

Fortunately, these northern border troops are also strong enough. Facing 6 enemy troops, [-] people relied on skillful cooperation and battle formation to draw a tie. Even the Xiongnu Shanyu couldn't help admiring.

While paying attention to the battlefield, Gongsun Xu sent people around to inquire about the news. The forward selection army has not arrived at the battlefield as originally planned, which means that they have been delayed. As for whether they can get rid of the enemy's entanglement, Gongsun Xu is very confident. After all, it is the most elite existence of the Northern Xinjiang Army, but Gongsun Xu himself is not sure how long it will take to get rid of it.

These days, the soldiers of the Xuanfeng Army have been following the main force of the Xiongnu army. They are very tired both mentally and physically. Gongsun Xu still knows this. Now, Gongsun Xu only hopes that they can rush to the battlefield as soon as possible, otherwise, Over time, the [-] cavalry on my side will definitely suffer.

In order to take advantage of the Huben Army, Dian Wei has already led [-] Tigers and Cardinals to dismount. This time, due to the long-distance attack, the armor and weapons they can carry are limited. Fortunately, Gongsun Xu also took this into consideration before dispatching troops. , He specially conscripted five thousand pack horses to transport armor and weapons for the five thousand Huben army.

The generals and soldiers of the Huben Army were all wearing two layers of heavy armor, which was one layer less than before. As for weapons, most of them were holding halberds or sabers, and each of them had three or four hatchets hanging on their bodies. Other long-range attack weapons are limited, and they will not be able to use them for the time being.

In the middle of the tiger and cardinal formation is Gongsun Xu's handsome flag, which is the symbol of the highest honor and power of the Northern Army. On the battlefield, as long as the soldiers of the Northern Army see this flag, they can charge bravely and be invincible.

After more than an hour of fighting between the soldiers of the two sides, the superiority of the Huns' soldiers was revealed. Although the soldiers of the Northern Frontier Army were brave, they were sometimes tired under the continuous attacks of the enemy.

At this moment, the Xiongnu Shanyu finally received the information that the 30 cavalry sent out earlier finally successfully intercepted the forward army, and the two sides were fighting more than [-] miles away.

The Xiongnu Shanyu gave a death order to that side, and they had to hold on for more than two hours. Even if they were all exhausted, they could not let the front guards enter the battlefield here.At the same time, he sent cavalry one after another to contact King Youguli. The battle had been going on here for so long, and the shadow of King Youguli had not yet appeared. The Xiongnu Shanyu was a little angry.

Finally, with a slight advantage, the Xiongnu Shanyu turned his attention to Gongsun Xu who was watching the battle. There were [-] cavalry and [-] infantry beside Gongsun Xu. What's more, the Xiongnu Shanyu could see that the soldiers of the northern border army were extremely brave. Even if they were defeated, it would be difficult to kill them on a large scale. The focus of the battle was on Gongsun Xu's side.

As long as Gongsun Xu can be killed or the commander-in-chief of the Northern Xinjiang Army can be snatched, the [-] brave Northern Xinjiang Army cavalry will lose the confidence to continue to resist. If this battle can really capture and kill Gongsun Xu, then the Xiongnu Even if it is a big victory here, everything lost before can be made up for.

Finally, 2 of the [-] horses left by the Xiongnu were dispatched, and these [-] were Shanyu's personal guards, the most elite of the Huns' cavalry. play a big role.

Ten thousand Shanyu's personal guards charged towards the Tiger's Ben Army's position, and Dian Wei was cheering up the soldiers. In fact, the Huben Army didn't need to be cheered up. Every battle is better than a charge. For the sake of fame and fortune, just fight for Gongsun's continuation, and the soldiers of the Huben Army will be able to move forward bravely.

Without the cover of the crossbowmen, the soldiers of the Huben army could only let the enemy approach and fight again. In order to slow down the enemy's speed, Dianwei also placed two thousand pack horses in front of the position ruthlessly. Moreover, These pack horses are tied in place and cannot be separated at all.

When the Huns cavalry rushed up, they had to avoid these pack horses, or they would kill the pack horses that got in the way. No matter what, they had to slow down.

Gongsun Xu couldn't bear it now, it was impossible to be beaten like this all the time, so he immediately divided two thousand cavalry into two teams to cover the infantry of the Huben army. Afterwards, they all shot arrows one after another. Although the Huns also began to use bows and arrows to fight back, in general, the bows and arrows of the Northern Frontier Army had the greatest effect. Drink a jug.

Soon, the Xiongnu cavalry broke through many obstacles and met with the Huben army infantry. cause some damages.

Dian Wei is already at the forefront of the battle at this moment, but all the enemy troops who approach him will either have their horse's legs broken by him, or their horse's head will be cut off by him. The saber in his hand has been stained red with blood, and beside him, It was the chopped up horses and the corpses of enemy soldiers.

The other fierce soldiers of the Huben army were the same as their commander Dian Wei, but they greeted all the enemy troops approaching with sabers or halberds, and the soldiers of the Huben army threw out handaxes to greet them if they were a little farther away.

For a while, the battlefield here was full of people turning their backs on their backs and wailing constantly. The [-] fierce tiger and cardinal infantry actually managed to withstand the charge of [-] Hun cavalry, and the soldiers of both sides fought together.

Seeing that the situation here cannot be opened, Shanyu the Xiongnu is also in a hurry. Ten thousand cavalry can't tear apart the opponent's 10 infantry. Having gained the upper hand, the Xiongnu Shanyu immediately ordered 1 people to be transferred from the battlefield here to support Shanyu's personal guards.

As long as we can break through the 5000-man position and snatch the enemy's flag from them, the battle will basically be over. The Xiongnu Shanyu thinks very clearly that if he wants to defeat the [-] cavalry of the Northern Xinjiang Army head-on, I'm afraid he will It's hard to do [-] here.

Therefore, I can only work hard on the opponent's military flag.

Another 1 cavalry are rushing towards this side. Dian Wei's side is already under a lot of pressure. It would be quite dangerous if another [-] enemy troops come over. If it is an ordinary Hun cavalry, that's all. , Maybe the Huben army is sure to defeat it head-on, but the combat effectiveness of the first wave of [-] people is obviously much stronger than that of ordinary Hun cavalry.

Even, Dian Wei felt that this ten thousand was enough to be worth the [-] to [-] ordinary cavalry of the Huns. camp, they can also rely on the circle to counter such a large-scale charge of cavalry.

But the Huben army couldn't put up such an effective formation for a while, the key is that they didn't fall into the camp with their equipment, otherwise, Dianwei's side wouldn't be so passive.

Gongsun Xu had already seen the pressure of the Huben army. If it wasn't for lightly armed pursuit of the enemy, the combat effectiveness of the Huben army might have increased a bit. Without long-range attacks and cover, the Huben army could only rely on close combat to resist the enemy.

If things go on like this, the Huben Army might be in danger. Five thousand soldiers of the Huben Army cooperated closely with each other. At this time, they did not choose to fight alone. Facing the enemy's thousands of troops, the formation is very important. Except for a fierce man like Dian Wei who can lead some warriors to charge back, the rest of them are staunchly forming an formation to resist.

Half an hour after the battle, the Huben Army managed to withstand the onslaught of the opponent's [-] cavalry. At this moment, the soldiers of the Huben Army at the forefront of the formation were covered in blood, and even the weapons in their hands began to have gaps.

The [-] cavalry of the Xiongnu finally suspended their offensive and retreated. They could not repel the Huben army in the melee, so they could only rely on charging.

After some adjustments, the Hun cavalry charged again. Dian Wei was in the front row. The strong soldiers of the Huben army were all carrying large shields to resist the enemy's bows and arrows. Dian Wei held several short spears and shouted at the soldiers behind him: " The enemy army called me thirty steps forward."

After a while, a soldier shouted: "Thirty paces."

Dian Wei squinted his eyes and roared, "Call again at twenty paces."

In the sound of the enemy's horses beating the ground, the messenger shouted: "The enemy is twenty steps closer, prepare..."

At this time, Dian Wei was already bowed, counting the distance of the enemy in his mind, and when he was about ten steps away, Dian Wei roared, then stood up suddenly, and threw the short spears forward one after another.

The dozen or so brave cavalrymen of the Xiongnu army who charged at the front thought they could win the title of warriors who charged and fell into battle, but when they saw Dianwei's majestic body, they couldn't help rushing to fear. A deep-seated fear, as if someone was pronouncing their death.

Dian Wei shot eight short spears, most of which pierced through the body of the previous cavalryman, and then pierced the cavalry behind him. In just a short while, more than a dozen cavalrymen of the Huns fell to the ground one after another. All slow down.

Seeing the opportunity, Dian Wei immediately jumped out of the formation and rushed forward. At this time, Dian Wei was wearing three layers of heavy armor, and the left and right were holding a two-meter-long saber that weighed more than 50 kilograms. After a while, he rushed into the Xiongnu army. Before the Xiongnu soldiers came to their senses, Dian Wei swung his bow left and right, and swung two sabers one after another. Both were cut in half.
