Three Kingdoms

Choosing to fight at night is actually a dangerous thing, but if it is during the day and there is sufficient light, there are only mountains in the northwest and north around Pingding County, and the other areas are still relatively flat. In such terrain, it is necessary to fight Arranging suspicious soldiers is undoubtedly a difficult task.

No matter who it is, the difference between ten thousand against ten thousand and ten thousand against thirty thousand is not only in numbers, but also in psychology...

Outside Pingding City, the sound of war drums and horns echoed each other, like the prelude to a grand war...

The Xianbei cavalry, which had always been roaming around and conducting raids, now had to fight on the battlefield chosen by Fei Qian. In fact, both the left and right sides are not very flat areas. It turns out that most of them are rice fields in Pingding County. Therefore, although it is possible for war horses to gallop, if you are not careful in the dark, you will be tripped by various small ravines for irrigation. fall.

Pingding County is also a border county, so there are mostly hills in the northwest direction, and there are no city gates. Originally, the Xianbei people never expected that the daring Han army would come to intercept them, so the entire temporary camp was set up for convenience. To the south of the city, there are now many interlocked baggage trains lurking on the flat ground in front. It is not easy for Xianbei to break through when surrounded by cavalry on the left and right wings. Therefore, it is not easy to choose the left or right wing to break through. It makes sense.

The sound of the galloping hooves of war horses echoed between heaven and earth, and stirred in the hearts of every warrior.

Dadanghu paid close attention to the movements of the Han army. His main attack direction was the left wing. However, if the elimination of the left wing caused unrest in the Han army's middle infantry and created gaps in the entire battle formation, he would not mind turning around directly. direction, giving a fatal blow to the central command part of the Han army.

With three waves of strong attacks, no matter how brave the Han cavalry is, after all, there is an absolute gap in numbers. Even if the Han cavalry can break through the first cavalry line, they will not be able to continue to sprint towards the second cavalry line, let alone the second cavalry line. The third line of Xianbei cavalry has advanced. Under the continuous losses, the Han cavalry on the left wing will definitely be defeated!

It would even wipe out the Han cavalry on the left!

The Han army's cavalry must not be more than our own, so our strategy is feasible!

Da Danghu was gambling. He bet that the Han army's cavalry was not more than his own, so he concentrated his strength and prepared to deal a heavy blow to the Han army's cavalry. Then the remaining two-legged Han army soldiers would no longer pose much of a threat. , he will always wander around and torture him until he is completely defeated, just like what he did with King Xianbei before.

Dadaanghu roared: "Give these Han dogs a final blow! Let them know how powerful we are!"

"Oh oh oh..." The Xianbei cavalry let out bursts of shouts and rushed towards Ma Yan's cavalry line.

Encouraged by Da Danghu and amidst the sound of horns, the Xianbei cavalry that originally rushed towards the Han army's center and right wing also drew an arc. Together with the previous cavalry that inserted into the left wing, they formed like three lines. The huge waves hit the cavalry on the left side of the Han army's formation fiercely.

Xianbei's cavalry were turning and galloping, and their hands were not idle. Arrows were thrown high and fell from the sky, hitting the soldiers in the central battle formation of the Han army, splashing blood.

The shields and baggage carts could only defend one side. The blows from the side and overhead made the Han soldiers unable to defend themselves. One after another Han soldiers fell down, but these soldiers never took half a step back. They held up their shields and roared while relying on their comrades, Defending and counterattacking.

Huang Cheng shouted loudly: "The archers are responsible for the front! The crossbowmen turn to the left! Shoot with all your strength!" Although the central formation was hit by the Xianbei arrow rain, after all, the Xianbei cavalry had not broken through, and the crossbowmen were still relatively safe. s position. But now we can only draw out the crossbowmen to support the left wing, and the others have to defend the part of the Xianbei cavalry that is attacking from the front...

At the same time, Xu Huang, who was on the right wing, raised his ax and led the cavalry on the right wing towards the central battle formation...

Fei Qian, who was in the central formation, also shouted at the soldiers operating the trebuchets at the back of the formation at the top of his lungs: "Turn the direction of the trebuchet! Interrupt the Xianbei formation on the left!"

But now after a long period of throwing, two trebuchets have been damaged, and only four can continue to operate. Moreover, after the initial shocking effect of the fireball, it can only be used as lighting and blocking effects, direct killing. The force is still too weak.

Four to five thousand Xianbei cavalry ran over the ground in Pingding County. Tens of thousands of horse hooves struck the ground, like a ferocious ancient beast. They rumbled directly towards Ma Yan's Han cavalry. .

Suddenly Ma Yan on the left wing was under the greatest pressure since the beginning of the war!

The fighting between soldiers of the same kind is the most brutal!

What the cavalry fears most is the cavalry!

what to do?

Although Ma Yan now has more than a thousand cavalry in his hands, it does not mean that he can go head-on with the four to five thousand Xianbei cavalry!

Ma Yan seemed unusually calm at this moment. He was not affected by the sound of the huge galloping horses, nor did he forget the strategy he had formulated before the battle.

In fact, in war, the strategies and tactics are ever-changing, but the essence is only one thing: do whatever makes you feel comfortable and the enemy feels uncomfortable. Whatever the enemy attempts to achieve, destroy him, hinder him, drag him down, and do everything possible to achieve the goal he wants to achieve.

The Xianbei people obviously want to avoid interference from the central army and the right wing, and first engage in a decisive battle with their left wing, and then turn to escape or choose other directions of attack...

So now there is only one choice.

Ma Yan shouted loudly: "Turn around! Shrink the formation! Spread thorns!"

Cute little things like caltrops have already appeared on the battlefield during the Warring States Period. As a simple small object that blocks movement, they are very practical and easy to lay. Fei Qian brought some from Pingyang and collected some from Xihe County. Now they are evenly distributed to the cavalry on the left and right wings, in order to prevent the Xianbei people from jumping over the wall...

Under Ma Yan's order, the left-wing troops, which originally spread out slowly like an outstretched wing, began to turn their horses' heads and shrink into formation. At the same time, they began to throw the caltrops they carried from the cloth bags on the sides of the horses, in order to prevent damage. For friendly forces, usually only the outer cavalry that falls behind are thrown out, and then rotated.

In order to deploy these small things faster, many cavalry even directly cut the bottom of the bag with a knife and let them scatter to the ground as the horses jumped and ran. After confirming that they were scattered, they accelerated towards the front...

The Battle of Xianbei will probably end tomorrow...

That’s it…

It was already late at night when I rushed out yesterday...

In order not to disturb the rest of the workers, they dare not use the blue-axis keyboard to type...

You can only use the soft keyboard that comes with your notebook...

Typing still requires a green axis, but now that people are getting older, maybe it would be better to change to a brown axis...
