Chapter 1042: Success in the East and Success in the West (Thirty-Five)

The concentration and power of the Han army's crossbows made Liu Dacheng feel a little desperate. This was the first time that their army had fought against the regular troops of the Han army. They occupied the east of the river, left the upper valley, entered Daijun, and entered the grassland. Along the way, they all It was smooth sailing, and the Han army had been retreating. Except for the occasional harassment by He Lanxiong, they had not had any serious battles with the Han army's infantry.

The Han army's long-range weapons were ferocious, and they naturally had detailed intelligence to describe them. Liu Dacheng naturally had corresponding psychological preparations, but the intensity of such weapons was beyond his imagination.

There were still a hundred steps away from his own shooting distance, and the opponent's long-range attacks were already overwhelming. Seeing his soldiers being shot down in pieces, Liu Dacheng felt his heart twitching.

"Go forward, raise your shield, go forward, go forward!" he roared at the top of his lungs.

Shields were raised one after another and placed on their heads. The Qin army sang war songs and trotted forward. At this time, they no longer cared about the formation, got as close as possible to the Han army, and then fired back with crossbows.

One hundred and fifty steps later, they finally entered the shooting range of the Qin army's foot-operated crossbows.

"Crossbow!" Liu Dacheng shouted wildly, finally able to fight back, which made him feel like he could finally let out a breath of evil.

Thousands of Qin soldiers holding crossbows raised their crossbow arrows and pointed them toward the sky at a forty-degree angle. The sound of collapse was heard endlessly. Thousands of crossbow arrows rose into the sky and flew towards the direction of the Han army.

Almost at the same time, on the Han army's position, counterattacks that were ten times as strong as the Qin army's crossbow arrows came from the sky. The feather arrows flying in the air could almost block the sun. Amidst the clanging, many crossbow arrows actually collided with each other in the air. Unexpectedly, Shao Shao's crossbow arrow just fell down.

After a round of shooting, the Qin army's crossbowmen suffered heavy casualties because the opponent's crossbows were too dense.

Liu Dacheng's eyes turned red when he saw that there was no cover when shooting and almost half of the crossbowmen were lost.

"Charge, kill, go up and engage in hand-to-hand combat!" he shouted sternly.

Looking at the Qin army's offensive, Yan Haibo's delicate face showed a wolfish look, "The crossbows retreated, the spearmen came forward, and the sword and shield soldiers followed. Brothers, kill them all!"

The two armies ran forward faster and faster, and collided with each other with a crash.

He Lanxiong felt a little uneasy. He always felt that something was going to happen, but he really couldn't think of what was going to happen. Looking at the female general Gu Li who was riding beside him, he couldn't help but ask: "Gu Li, do you think it's going to happen?" Did you think the king was strange last night?"

It was common for Huns women to go to the battlefield, and He Lanxiong's own sister was one of the best, so he was used to it, and was not extremely curious about Gu Li like other generals of the Han army.

Looking at He Lanxiong, Gu Li was filled with emotion. When the Xiongnu royal court commanded the entire prairie, the Helan clan was just a small part of the Communist Party. It was so small that even Gu Li didn't know there was such a small tribe, but Time has passed, and in ten years, the bones of the Xiongnu Royal Court may have been turned into ashes, but the Helan clan has grown rapidly in these ten years, and has now replaced the Xiongnu Royal Court as the most influential among the Xiongnu tribes. Although they did not have the power they had before under the Han system, in the hearts of all the Huns, the Helan clan is now the backbone of the Huns.

On the prairie, there were so many large tribes at that time. Compared with the Helan clan, there was only one difference. They followed the right people.

After hearing He Lanxiong's question, Gu Li pondered for a moment and said: "It is indeed a bit strange, but doesn't Commander He Lan have a secret letter from the king in his arms? If he opens it, won't it become clear?"

He Lanxiong shook his head, "That won't work. The king said that it can only be opened when Liu Dacheng's army is seen. Now is not the time."

Gu Li raised her eyebrows, but she didn't expect He Lanxiong to be so concerned about Gao Yuan's words.

"In that case, let's speed up! By then, the mystery will always be revealed."

"What you said is, speed up!" He Lanxiong said loudly.

Gu Li and He Lanxiong joined forces, and the cavalry totaled nearly 30,000 people. This huge cavalry rushed over the grassland in the direction of Yan Haibo's headquarters.

When He Lanxiong jumped onto a raised beam, his eyes suddenly lit up. At the far end of his field of vision, the battlefield where the infantry of the Qin and Han Dynasties were strangled appeared in front of him, although the figures on both sides were only as big as ants in his eyes. , but it was enough for him to see the current situation clearly.

The black Qin army and the navy blue Han army were entangled together and were fighting inextricably.

He took out the secret letter Gao Yuan gave him from his arms, couldn't wait to tear it open, unfolded the letter paper, and only glanced at it hastily, his expression changed slightly.

Jishi City, County Sheriff's Mansion, Tang He stood in front of Wu Kai and Tang Yibiao. Looking at the shocked expressions of the two, he loudly said: "Jincheng Wu, Commander Tang, the above are the king's exact words. The king has issued an order, Ji Shi." The Shicheng garrison will arrive at Wuyun Banner at midnight today."

Tang Yibiao stood up and said, "Wu Commandery, you have a mountain of military orders. I will lead my troops to Jishi City at the end. I will not leave any people in Jishi City. You have tens of thousands of Jishi County's reserves. It is more than enough to defend the city, even with the Qin Army." It’s enough to withstand the attack.”

Wu Kai nodded: "You set off immediately, and you can rest assured in Jishi City. Since the main force of the Qin army has been contained, I can rest easy here."

"Excuse me!" Tang Yibiao cupped his hands, turned around and strode out.

Half an hour later, the north gate of Jishi City opened wide, and Tang Yibiao led the 20,000 infantrymen who had stayed in Jishi City to step out of the city gate in a hurry and hurried away in the direction of Wuyun Banner.

Yan Haibo knew that he was facing a tough battle today. The elite infantry of the Qin army were famous on this continent. They had destroyed countless countries and their army was powerful. And he also believed in his brothers. Over the years, they He is also fighting everywhere, and he has never stopped fighting. In terms of combat effectiveness, he is not inferior to the opponent in the slightest. Although the enemy is eager to jump over the wall and the trapped beast is still fighting, his own victory is in sight and his morale is even more strong. And he is convinced that his soldiers will Their coordination skills have been refined over time, and they will only be stronger than the Qin army.

The only thing I can worry about is my commanding ability. Speaking of which, this is the first time that I have commanded such a large-scale corps in combat!

Things were just as Yan Haibo expected. The Han army's combat effectiveness was superior, but Liu Dacheng's rich combat experience made up for this gap. He could always accurately mobilize his troops to block loopholes in a certain direction on the battlefield. , but in this aspect, Yan Haibo is lagging behind, and his reaction is always half a beat too slow.

The numbers of the two sides were almost the same, and they were fighting with each other in an indistinguishable manner.

But when the war was getting serious, the sound of horse hooves in the distance was as fast as thunder, which made Yan Haibo overjoyed, but Liu Dacheng's expression changed drastically.

He knew what Li Xin wanted to do. Looking at the Han army flags in the distance, he swallowed hard. Why was there such a large number of Huns cavalry here? What did Gao Yuan want to do? But where did the rain go? According to the prior arrangement, the rain should stay close to you.

Li Xin estimated before the war that Gao Yuan would definitely send a cavalry to support Yan Haibo. This cavalry was most likely to be those Huns herdsmen, and Gao Yuan would definitely lead the Donghu Independent Cavalry Division and He Lanxiong's Dongye Cavalry to attack from Wuyun Banner. Jishi City, gathered and annihilated themselves under Jishi City, but now, this idea has been shattered by reality. He Lanxiong has also come in this direction. Although He Lanxiong has less than 10,000 cavalry under his command, this is the largest number among the cavalry. Elite.

Could it be that Nan Yu has been defeated by He Lanxiong?

It is not a big problem for the 5,000 Qin troops to defeat 10,000 to 20,000 Xiongnu herdsmen. This is also one of the most important reasons for Li Xin to win on his side. As long as Danyu defeats these herdsmen, he will come back to join his own army. On the battlefield, after defeating Yan Haibo, the two of them joined forces and attacked Jishi City. I think by that time, the garrison in Jishi City had already known the news that Gao Yuan was surrounded by Wuyun Banner, and they would definitely rush out of the city to rescue them and attack Jishi City themselves. Next, while Jishi City is empty, there is still hope to capture Jishi City.

This is a plan with a success rate of less than 30%, but it is the best way Li Xin can think of, a way to survive in death. But with the tens of thousands of cavalry led by He Lanxiong appearing on this battlefield, it also indicates that Li Xin's idea was completely bankrupt.

"Kill!" He Lanxiong raised the scimitar in his hand high, smashed the horse and ran forward. The horse under his crotch was no longer the familiar black cone, and its ability was also much worse. But with He Lanxiong's superb horse skills , but he didn't care. The enemy forces on the opposite side were scattered on the battlefield for several miles around. It was a good time for the cavalry to show off their skills.

"Kill!" Gu Li gritted her teeth and galloped forward. Seeing these Qin soldiers, she couldn't help but think of the Hun royal soldiers who were destroyed one by one by armored cavalry on the grassland, and their relatives who fell one by one. .Both eyes became blood red.

Dan Yu, who Liu Dacheng had always placed high hopes on, did not approach either of the two battlefields at this time. On the contrary, he ran away with the Qin army's remaining five thousand cavalry.

When he saw Gao Yuan appear in front of him, the last hope in Yu's heart had been shattered. He didn't think that Li Xin could defeat Gao Yuan. The Qin army would either be completely destroyed in Li Xin's crazy plan, or they would be lost in the long distance. During his escape, he was overtaken by the Han cavalry and annihilated one by one. The result was the same. But now, he might have fled back with these five thousand cavalry. Now the main force of the Qin army and the Han army are fighting inextricably. , for a moment, no one’s attention will be on his wandering cavalry.

There were only five thousand cavalry, and without the burden of infantry, perhaps he could still escape with them. But Yu led these cavalry and quickly left the battlefield as quickly as possible, rushing towards Shannan County. R1152
