Chapter 184 Blocking the east entrance of the three counties of Hetao [Chapter 3]
"Sir, there is a caravan with thousands of people ten miles away. Do we ignore it?"
The subordinate asked in his words, but his eyes were full of greed and desire. Po Liu Han Hu frowned for a long time, and some of them could not figure out what was going on in the past few days. When did the Han people become so familiar with them Xianbei people?
"Sir, the caravans of 100 or 200 people in the past few times, but there were thousands of people this time. I heard... I heard that the Han people were going to Danhan Mountain to give Lord Qianman a hundred iron armor..."
"What?"
Not only did his subordinates give iron armor to Qian Man, but Han Hu was not surprised and angry even though he broke the sixth.
"Damn Han people, don't you know who Xianbei Khan is-"
"Send the order now!"
"I'm going to kill all the damn Han people!"
Han Hu was furious, and the generals were overjoyed, but their faces were extremely angry. They all summoned their soldiers with swords. It was not yet two quarters of an hour. Two thousand Xianbei cavalrymen rushed out of Qiangyin City and waved their sabers to kill thousands of Han caravans ten miles away...
The caravan that dragged two or three miles stopped. They seemed to have noticed danger. When several flying eagle spies galloped past, the caravan that had been two or three miles suddenly retreated. Soon three or four hundred carriages surrounded them into a square formation. Thousands of Han people looked at countless Xianbei cavalry rushing and rushing...
"Pooh!"
A man spat hard.
"What's the matter? It's much worse than our Dong Buyi!"
"Brothers, listen to me, wait until they get closer and shoot the arrows! If they fail to hit the person, shoot according to their horses! If they dare to climb into the wooden cart, they will shoot them hard with me!"
...
"No trouble is allowed, as long as we block them for a quarter of an hour! After a quarter of an hour, none of these bastards will survive!"
...
"Arrow shot—"
...
"kill--"
...
One thousand people are not Dong Buyi, with fewer people than the other side. Two thousand riders spread out to cover several miles of scattered soldiers, like a flood. Such power is hard to describe in writing. If it were not for veterans who had been through the battle formation, they would be afraid and panic when they encountered such a powerful power.
But the camp commander and the captain were all veterans of Lintao. When they watched the Xianbei people disperse, they knew what they wanted to do.
One thousand people, two brigades of troops, one brigade serves as an arrow formation, and one thousand people form a military formation within a radius of two hundred steps. Two hundred steps, one thousand military formation is in the center of the chariot. There is not much space reserved for the Huns who overturned the carriage. Each carriage is locked, so it is very difficult to push it away. Three or four hundred carriages cannot completely block the range of two hundred steps in a radius. The gap between the carriage can only allow a small number of war horses to pass, rather than a large number of cavalry rushing to the formation.
Speed is the biggest weapon of cavalry. Once the speed drops, it is easy to be stabbed to death by spears and halberds.
Countless Xianbei people abandoned their horses and climbed the carriage, screamed and jumped into the carriage formation. The shield-holding infantry living around fought fiercely with the Xianbei people jumped into the carriage formation. The five hundred archers living in the center of the formation kept shooting and killing the enemies climbing the carriage, or acted as reserves at any time to rush towards the place where the front was shaken.
The battle started extremely fiercely. Facing the Xianbei people, the front was shaken repeatedly. Fortunately, there was a large group of archers as a reserve team. Fortunately, the carriage hindered the Xianbei people's rushing speed and number of soldiers. Although the front was shaken several times, it finally lasted for a quarter of an hour.
When Han Hu saw that he could not take down the group of thousands of Han people for a quarter of an hour, he was instinctively frightened and whipped his subordinates who were bewitching his troops.
"Bastard... This is what you are talking about in the Han civilian businessmen? This is the Han soldiers--"
"Come on, set fire to me! I burn all these cars-"
A group of generals were waiting to be persuaded. When they saw the things on the car, there were indeed many bricks. If this was a fire...
"Sir... Go quickly-"
"East...East..."
A spy rushed over. Shang Wei came to Po Liu Han Hu and fell into a war horse. After rolling for a few times, he then went silent. However, everyone saw three arrows behind the spy and looked east in horror...
"Walk--"
After seeing the appearance of two teams of cavalry, a man with Feiyu was shocked. Without thinking, he turned his horse's head and ran north. There were several people like Feiyu's man, so he didn't have to look at it. Just looking at the smoke and dust spreading in the east, they knew how many enemies had killed him.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
The horn of the urging battle was urgent, and the two arms extended by the goose-shaped formation became faster, just like a heavy combination punch waved by a heavy boxer, the Xianbei cavalry was sieging the convoy...
"Buzz--"
Liu Qi shot an arrow, and the person who was running was falling into a war horse, clamping his legs against the horse's belly. The war horse under his crotch seemed to know his intentions, and turned north to chase hundreds of Xianbei cavalry that were fleeing. Thousands of cavalry behind him turned to chase hundreds of cavalry running, and as for the more than a thousand cavalry rushing towards him, he didn't care.
Han Hu wanted to run north, but his general was furious and turned around and rushed towards the Han soldiers who were hitting towards him. Countless iron cavalry waving their sabers and killing more Han cavalry...
"kill--"
Before the arrow shooting distance was reached, Han Hu roared angrily, but unexpectedly, the front cavalry that rushed towards him suddenly split left and right, and the front cavalry dispersed left and right, forming a goose-shaped formation again...
"withdraw--"
The two sides were only a hundred steps apart. For both sides who were kicking and accelerating, the distance between the 100 steps was only a few breaths. When the Han army cavalry suddenly cracked, Han Hu then saw that the heavy armored cavalry was hidden behind them. Everyone held a six-meter heavy cavalry and a heavy armored cavalry.
"Go away--"
Han Hu didn't even think about it. He turned his horse's head and turned north, but the distance of a hundred steps was too short, and it was already difficult for both sides who were sprinting to turn...
"Puff puff puff..."
“Ahhh…”
The Xianbei people who lacked iron armor could not break the heavy cavalry spear that pierced the entire chest. The heavy cavalry had to abandon the six-meter cavalry spear and pulled out the short spear to continue charging.
The heavy armored cavalry is like a bulldozer pushing everything horizontally. The Xianbei cavalry on the scattered line cannot stop the heavy armored cavalry at all. Han Hu was extremely lucky to avoid the first wave of heavy armored cavalry, and it was difficult to avoid the second wave. He avoided the second wave and the third wave...
As Dong Hu expected, hundreds of cavalry who had the advantage of stirrups and the Western Liang horse and fled north frantically almost fell into despair. They could not stop the Liangzhou Qiang cavalry who followed closely on his left wing from shooting and killing them. They repeatedly divided their troops and cut off their backs, and were repeatedly surrounded and killed by the Qiang cavalry who followed them.
Ten miles, a road of life and death, countless screams and broken leather coats fell on war horses. The Qiang people were similar to the Xianbei people and the Xiongnu people. They were in a chaotic place and the same fighting was common. With equipment, horse speed and military strength, the battle was almost one-sided. Before they even joined the war, the Xianbei people began to flee in scattered areas. However, Dong Buyi was like a cat playing with a mouse, and could obviously trap the escaped enemies, but the Xianbei cavalry was kicking the war horse and fleeing continuously on the left rear flank of the Xianbei cavalry. No matter how hundreds of Xianbei cavalry turned, they could not escape. They could only run towards Qiangyin City desperately, hoping that they could escape with the adobe wall...
With the speed advantage of the Western Regions, Qiu Linjun, who was kicking the war horses and running desperately, was desperate and looked at the city gates with panic holes inside and outside.
It was too close, and the damn Han cavalry behind him were too close to him, and even if they escaped back to the city, they would not have time to close the city gate.
"Walk--"
"To the north--"
When he was approaching the city gate two hundred steps, Qiu Linjun roared again, suddenly turned his horse's head, and made a maneuvering turn again. He knew that the more than a thousand Han cavalry that were biting his behind him was to take the opportunity to enter Qiangyin City with him. Once he entered the city, he would die!
"There is only a front-line opportunity... only this time-"
Qiu Linjun roared in his heart, and without hesitation, when he was about to rush into the panicked city, he suddenly turned his horse's head. The Qiu Lin tribe who followed closely behind him instinctively kicked the war horse and followed him. The remaining hundreds of horses were stunned at first, but when the city gate was right in front of him, the hope of life was right in front of him, there was no hesitation. He kicked the war horse and sprinted towards the city gate. More than a thousand Dong Buyi's cavalry who followed closely behind him were also kicking the war horse and accelerating. Many soldiers raised their bows with their hands and shot towards the city...
"Get into the city—"
Liu Qi rode a shield in front of him, kicking the war horses wildly and accelerating. He waved the saber, but the copper whistle in his mouth sounded rhythmically.
The city gate is narrow, and it is impossible to let more than a thousand cavalry rush into the city at once. They are running all the way to chase and kill. The light cavalry can be a scattered line, but when they enter the city, no one knows what kind of danger there is, and they cannot really fall into unknown dangers.
Amid the extremely rhythmic "beep", the vanguard's team suddenly kicked the war horses and accelerated. When the war horses were galloping, it would become an attack formation like an infantryman in a short time. At the same time, the team behind was slowing down the attack speed. Several other teams spread out to the periphery, shooting around the small city, suppressing the arrows at the top of the city...
"kill--"
"kill--"
...
Countless waving their sabers with shields, countless horse spears, Dong Buyi rushed into the empty Qiangyin City. Almost all the soldiers in the city were lured out of the city by caravans. The war broke out very suddenly. The Xianbei people in the city had no time to prepare. After countless hideous Qiang people entered the city, there was chaos in the city, and countless screaming Xianbei women and children hid everywhere...
In just half an hour, two or three thousand slaves carried a body out of the city. In just three days, 20,000 people dragged two or three thousand carriages to the city, and built two 10,000 hamlets at the eastern entrance of Hetao...
Qiangyin City is very small, with only 500 regular soldiers, which seems to be very few, but for Quhou stationed in most cities in Hetao County, where there are only 200 soldiers, Qiangyin has a lot of five hundred regular soldiers.
There were very few regular soldiers in the Han Dynasty, and military cities that could station two thousand soldiers were extremely rare. Among the three counties of Hetao, only Yunzhong City Pass and Manbosai, where the Dulia General, had two thousand regular soldiers.
The political center of Liangzhou is Hanyang County, because Hanyang County is the frontier position of the Sanfu Chang'an. The Qiang people in Liangzhou are prone to chaos. Once the Qiang people are in chaos, the court must ensure safety when entering the Wei River Road in Liangzhou, and the frontier position cannot be lost.
