Chapter 235 5 Cavalry
Chapter 235 Fifty Thousand Cavalry
"Report to General Zhang Han, there is an army in the north, look, it looks like there are [-] riders." The scout reported tremblingly, with panic in his eyes.
Zhang Han gasped, his lips trembling uncontrollably.
One wave was not calm, and another wave rose again. Just after driving away the scouts from Yelu that night, I didn't expect Maodun to bring [-] cavalry.
The [-] cavalry are the elite of the Xiongnu, and General Qiang Li is still galloping halfway, how can the [-] prisoner army be their opponent?
After calming down his chaotic heart, Zhang Han's face turned cold and he ordered: "The whole army should be on guard. Don't attack again and defend with all your strength."
"We only need to resist for two days and wait for General Qiang's reinforcements to arrive, and we will join forces with General Qiang's internally and externally."
"The whole army lined up to fight against the Xiongnu army, and vowed to defend the camp to the death. It is full of food and grass for the Qin army, so there must be no sloppy."
Zhang Han ordered the soldiers to pick up the rolling logs and rocks, and there was no time to set up the camp now, so they could only hope to form an array to fight against the Huns soldiers.
The first thing to use was the attack of rolling logs and rocks, but it still couldn't resist the fierce attack of the Huns.
When the Xiongnu broke through the layers of defense, they used infantry to fight.
Since the Warring States period, the most effective weapon for infantry against cavalry is the crossbow. The shooting accuracy of cavalry on bumpy horseback is far lower than that of infantry standing steadily on the ground.
When the cavalry rushed to the infantry formation, they would be shot by a dense rain of arrows.
Horses are much larger than humans, and the probability of being hit by an arrow is very high.
However, the Maodun army was uncharacteristically, and this time it even used the infantry and cavalry coalition forces to fight against the chariot soldiers, which made the chariot soldiers at a loss and could hardly cause any losses to the Huns.
This time the Xiongnu made full use of the mobility of the cavalry and the mobility of the infantry, and the cooperation of the two made it impossible for the Qin army to see any advantage.
Zhang Han frowned, it seemed that Fu Wu had told them about the limitations of chariot soldiers.
The combat effectiveness of the chariot soldiers was greatly reduced, and even the Huns cavalry caught the gap and directly destroyed the chariot.
As soon as Zhang Han saw that several chariots had been lost, he quickly ordered his soldiers to take back the chariot formation, and then the two armies opened up for an infantry confrontation.
Although the Qin army is an army of criminals, the weapons they wear are the pinnacle of the cold weapon era, and the Qin army has taken advantage of them.
Mao Dun saw that the infantry was at a disadvantage in confronting the Qin army, so he quickly commanded the cavalry to charge. Zhang Han's army had no cavalry and could only use infantry to fight.
The army set up a shield formation with long spears in order to defeat the Morton cavalry, but the Huns cavalry bypassed and ordered the infantry to rush in. After the shield formation was defeated, the cavalry swarmed in.
Zhang Han was defeated, but they had no way out. Behind them was the army's food and supplies, and only a deadly battle could save them as much as possible.
Zhang Han quickly commanded the army to charge and resist, forming a death squad to fight against the Huns, in order to scare off the Huns and provide sufficient time for the Qiang army to support them.
But Mao Dun pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Zhang Han's automatic attack looks like he wants to stand up and resist, but in fact it is a helpless move. If they don't show us off, how can they force us to retreat."
After Mao Dun made it clear, Ye Lu smiled slightly and commanded the soldiers: "All the officers and men listened to the order. Zhang Han's army jumped the wall in a hurry and wanted to fight us to the death, but the Huns are not the kind of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death. When the other side attacks fiercely, we will also fight to the death. Give us a head-on blow and teach them a lesson."
That night Lu's words inspired the morale of the soldiers, and the soldiers all had hideous faces. They didn't mind fighting to the death when they saw the Qin army's death.
At this moment, that Ye Lu thought of the various atrocities of the Qin army, and the picture of the Qin army ruthlessly killing the Huns appeared in his mind. Qin people are having fun.
Stimulated by that Yelu, they all blushed, their teeth were clenched, their fists were only clenched, and their bones were already grinding, and their eyeballs were bloodshot.
Immediately afterwards, that night Lu waved his spear and led the soldiers to confront the Qin army.
Cold sweat broke out on Zhang Han's forehead. It seemed that the Xiongnu were not scared off, but the offensive became more violent, as if they had made a determination to die.
Zhang Han ordered a hundred soldiers to stay in the camp, holding the torches high, and ordered: "I will immediately put on my armor and lead the soldiers to charge. If I fall, you will burn down the granary and leave no food for the Huns." .”
The hundreds of guards looked dignified. They thought that the march would be smooth without the Huns' harassment, but they didn't expect that this was a plan of the Huns to defeat them one by one.
Zhang Han told the ten scouts: "Once we become surrendered generals, you should tell Generals Qiang Yan and Li Xin not to come to support us, lest we fall into the Xiongnu's plan to encircle and attack us."
With tears in their faces, the ten scouts said reluctantly, "I will definitely obey the general's order."
Zhang Han put on his battle armor and walked forward solemnly, not daring to turn his head back. This time he came to the gate of ghosts, and in front of him were ten thousand cavalry.
Zhang Han personally led [-] infantry into the Xiongnu army. He swung his spear at every enemy on horseback and pierced the chest of the horse. Many soldiers fell off their horses. At the same time, Zhang Han also picked up the Zhuge Liannu and pointed it at the Xiongnu army. It has to be said that the combat effectiveness of this army is so powerful that Zhang Han is a little powerless.
In the barracks, dozens of people held up their torches high, their faces extremely dignified. Behind them was food, grass and luggage. It was rations for 15 troops, enough for a month, but right now they were surrounded by the Xiongnu and were in great danger.
Once Zhang Han fell, they immediately set fire to the food and grass, and did not give any food to the Huns.
The two were watching from the high platform, their faces were ferocious, and it could be seen that they also wanted to go to battle to kill the enemy and fight with the Huns, but due to the military order, they could only guard the granary.
The two men kept telling Zhang Han's direction. When they saw Zhang Han leading five thousand soldiers to charge at the front and fight with the Huns, beating the Huns back steadily, a smile appeared on their faces. The soldiers were burning food and grass underground. Also relieved.
But then the faces of the two gradually became dignified, and they exclaimed, the soldiers of the Huns surrounded the army, and General Zhang Han was hit by an arrow.
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions darkened instantly, and they raised the torches high, intending to burn the general's food directly.
But the soldiers gasped, and then exclaimed: "General Zhang Han is brave, broke through the enemy's defense line, and is out of danger."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Qin army was going to win by a narrow margin this time.
But then the two plopped and knelt on the ground, shouting heart-piercingly: "The big thing is wrong, General Zhang Han has fallen."
Now everyone was completely disheartened, and they raised torches one after another, trying to burn the granary.
Suddenly, the earth trembled, and a troop of [-] cavalry appeared in the distance, and a banner engraved with the word "King" fluttered on it.
