Chapter 344: Both Attack and Defense

"Oh! Kill!"

More than 20,000 Huns shouted loudly and came galloping with their bows and arrows raised.

Whoosh whoosh!

More than 20,000 Xiongnu rangers galloped left and right, and in an instant, more than 20,000 arrows flew towards them, covering the sky with power, and only heard the tinkling of the baffles of the chariot, and many baffles They were all shot through.

The Han army seems to be very resilient, facing the left and right shots of the Huns' rangers, they still can't hold on.

Seeing that the Han army still did not dare to attack, the Huns became even more arrogant, shooting arrows for a while, like a heavy rain shaking the earth.

After firing arrows for a while, Yu Fuluo Zhi said triumphantly: "Go to the base, Liu Bao! You two led five thousand cavalry and charged left and right into the enemy's chariot formation."

"yes!"

Qu Bei and Liu Bao immediately took orders to go, each leading 5,000 cavalry, suddenly gathered from the formation, and then launched a fierce attack on the Han army from the east and west.

boom!

The horseshoes of the war horse trampled heavily on the ground, causing a violent vibration on the ground. The Huns on the horseback put away their bows and arrows, raised their long sabers, and their faces were full of hostility.

"Bowmen ready!"

thump!

The crossbowmen in the army were ready long ago. When they saw the Huns cavalry attacking, they immediately pressed the crossbow trigger to fire. Thousands of crossbow arrows shot out, and hundreds of Huns fell from their horses immediately. Take a look at the momentum of the Huns.

But it was only for a moment, and then the Huns rushed forward unstoppably, raising their sharp sabers.

The soldiers on the chariot suddenly showed their faces, and all the soldiers on the chariot were all in full body armor, holding short axes and long knives, and suddenly stepped forward.

kill! The Huns cavalry raised their sabers, but were stopped by the baffles on the chariot, while the heavy infantry on the chariot brazenly raised their hatchets.

In order to facilitate mobility, the Huns rangers mostly wear light leather armor. This kind of leather armor is light but light, but it also means that the defense is weak.

The sharp hatchet easily cut through the surface of the leather armor, and cut heavily into the Huns' body.

The heavy infantry hid in the chariot, and the erected baffles blocked the high-raised sabers of the Huns, while the heavy infantry raised their long knives and hatchets to slaughter, and hundreds of Huns were hacked to death immediately.

The heavy chariot stopped the advance of the Huns cavalry with just a slight shock, and tens of thousands of Huns gathered around the chariot.

"Let's go into battle, short soldiers fight!" Liu Ye waved the flag, and the chariots on the east and west sides suddenly separated to the left and right. The Xiongnu cavalry was overjoyed, and immediately rode in, but they were greeted by the troops with their jaws ready to line up.

Three thousand heavy infantrymen were already ready, all with indifferent expressions, all in armor, and high fighting spirit.

Zhang Jaw cheered up and shouted: "Kill Hu!"

"Kill Hu!"

Shouts came and went, and three thousand heavy infantry rushed out in formation, all raising their knives and axes, and falling heavily!

Click!

The sharp long knives and short axes do not distinguish between horses and horses. Whether it is a Hun or a war horse, after being hit by a long knife and short axe, it is immediately divided into two halves and chopped into pieces.

The three thousand heavy infantry marched forward, relying on each other's bodies, slowly advancing in formation, massacring the Huns cavalry all the way, and the Huns suffered heavy casualties immediately.

Qu Bei realized that it was not good, and immediately turned around and shouted: "The enemy's weapons are powerful, let's talk about it after withdrawing."

The Xiongnu Ranger was not a fool who would be bullied, so he turned around and wanted to run away. Liu Ye had already seen this scene, and immediately sneered.

"Order the chariots to close up and not release the enemy troops." Liu Ye ordered the flag soldiers.

The flag bearers waved the flag according to the order, and the Han army's chariots that had opened a hole suddenly closed up, besieging more than 8,000 Hun cavalry regiments in the chariots, forming an anti-encirclement.

"The chariot soldiers prevent the enemy from entering the battle, and the infantry do their best to kill the Huns!" Liu Ye ordered.

Hu Qi is good at mobility, while the chariot circle restricts the Hun cavalry to the formation, and the mobility of the enemy is naturally restricted.

"kill!"

Generals Zhang Jai, Guan Hai, and Pang De volunteered and led their troops to chase and kill the Huns.

Zhang Liao, who lived in Liu Ye's army, saw his hands itching, so he gritted his teeth and said to Liu Ye: "General Cheqi, I want to kill Hu, can you lend me a soldier for a while?"

Liu Ye smiled and said generously: "It's easy to say, Wen Yuan will lead a certain bodyguard with five hundred guards to kill the Huns."

Zhang Liao was very grateful: "Thank you, General."

After all, Liu Ye allocated five hundred personal guards to Zhang Liao, and Zhang Liao led the five hundred personal guards and killed them. Zhang Liao had a deep grasp of the overall situation on the battlefield. After observing for a while, he immediately shouted to the five hundred guards: "Go east!"

The five hundred personal guards didn't know Zhang Liao well, but Liu Ye's army had always been strict in military discipline, so they naturally followed Zhang Liao.

"Quick, assault chariot, rush out!" After the chariot circle was closed, Qubei led the Hun cavalry like a headless chicken, ramming around, hurriedly trying to tear a hole in the chariot circle and kill it , but the enemy army is heavily defended, and has never been able to give Qubei a chance.

Zhang Liao's eyes flashed: This Hun is dressed luxuriously, he seems to be a nobleman or general among the Huns, if he can capture and kill this person, it will be a great achievement.

Zhang Liao slashed his sword immediately: "The whole army assaults and intercepts and kills the enemy general!"

The five hundred personal guards were naturally the most elite in Liu Ye's army, well equipped and of the highest quality. Zhang Liao gave an order and immediately rushed forward.

"kill!"

Qu Beizheng planned to lead an army to assault the round formation of chariots, but he didn't expect that a handsome army horse suddenly came out from the slanting stab, the leading general had a majestic face, holding a Huanglonggou sickle, he was a little surprised.

"Hu'er keep the head!" Zhang Liao yelled, slapping horses and wielding knives to kill him suddenly, like a whirlwind blowing flatly, the momentum was like thunder.

"Who is coming?" Qu Beiyuan opened his eyes and said angrily.

"Take your head!" Zhang Liao yelled loudly, stepped off his horse and jumped with all four hooves. The Huanglonggou scythe in his hand swept out suddenly, cutting off the neck of the man, and the head fell to the ground, but his body was still on the horse's back. He ran forward, and after a while, he tilted his body and fell to the ground.

Zhang Liao had sharp eyes and quick hands, grabbed the reins with one hand, tilted his body, grabbed the head of Qubai on the ground with the other, and shouted loudly like thunder.

"The head of the enemy general is here, why didn't Hu'er surrender sooner!"

The Xiongnu cavalry saw Zhang Liao's majestic and dignified head, and they were terrified and their morale was low.

"Wen Yuan is really brave! It's a pity that he can't be used by me." Liu Ye sighed.

Jia Xu smiled mysteriously: "Wen Houyong is brave, but he can't use people. General Zhang will be used by chariots sooner or later."
