Chapter 344 Cavalry Hunting Field
Chapter 344 Cavalry Hunting Site
The Xianbei people could change horses, and the speed was much faster than the Wuhuan cavalry. At the end of their sight, they rushed into the oasis and soon disappeared.
Looking at the woods on the edge of the oasis, Qiu Liju seemed to smell a sense of danger. After fighting with the Han people for so many years, he also knew that the Han people liked to ambush and attack. These Xianbei people had a good relationship with the Han people in Luoyang, and maybe they also learned this trick.
In order to prevent the enemy's sneak attack, Qiu Liju immediately ordered the reorganization of troops, and there were still more than 5,000 cavalry left to form a huge and neat queue and slowly approached the oasis.
After crossing the woods and on the other side of the earth, Qiu Liju was surprised to see a cavalry waiting far away, aiming at his side with crossbow arrows in his hand. It looked like there were thousands of people, and his clothes were obviously Xianbei people.
Seeing these enemies who slaughtered their relatives, the Wuhuan cavalry roared loudly, and their eyes were so angry that they could not help but rush forward to fight against the enemy.
Qiu Liju stopped them loudly and ordered his subordinates to form a neat queue. Just wait for a command to charge together to avoid being attacked by enemy crossbows and too much casualties.
As long as there are enough people, even if the enemy is sharp and sharp arrows are like rain! Even if there are thousands of injuries, they can rush to the enemy and kill them all! Qiu Liju stared at the enemy in the distance with hatred, holding the sword tightly with both hands, and holding the blue veins on the back of his hand storm.
Far away, the Xianbei people on the opposite side pushed out more than a dozen strange cars from the back of the team, which made the Wuhuan cavalry feel strange even when they were angry.
Qiu Liju was knowledgeable and surprised when he saw it. It was a common crossbow used by the Han people. Once shot, its strength and range were far greater than that of ordinary crossbows, which could cause fatal damage to his warriors. Fortunately, it was not too many, and his army could still bear such losses.
Seeing the enemy being stylisted for the crossbow, Qiu Liju hurriedly ordered his subordinates to speed up the organization of the team. Without waiting for the enemy to fire the crossbow, he issued an order. The entire army raided and rushed over to kill all the enemies!
The commander issued orders loudly in Wuhuan language. When the Wuhuan cavalry heard the order, they roared loudly, galloped wildly, waved their swords, and rushed straight towards the enemy ahead!
At this moment, the dozen or so crossbows had already begun to fire!
On the crossbows that were strung with powerful winch, each crossbow had six or seven giant arrows shot out, penetrated the sky and landed far into the cavalry brigade of the Wuhuan people.
The heavy giant arrow shot on the Wuhuan warriors, and immediately penetrated their bodies, causing them to squirt blood and fell off their horses. Even the strong war horses could not withstand such a fierce blow. When the giant arrow shot on them, they could penetrate their bodies in the blink of an eye.
The first wave of attacks caused dozens of soldiers to fall off their horses and unable to fight. The remaining Wuhuan cavalry rushed desperately, just wanting to pass this death passage quickly and connect with the enemy's hand-to-hand blades.
Soon, they entered the range of enemy crossbows. Thousands of crossbow arrows shot from the front at the same time, landed obliquely from their heads to the ground, and shot into the army, splashing blood.
The screams and the neighing sounded in the horses. The war horses that rolled to the ground from time to time made the Wuhuan people's attack queues a little scattered. The remaining soldiers were still gritting their teeth and galloping towards the cruel enemy troops!
The earth kept trembling as thousands of war horses galloped. Finally, its trembling reached a point, and with a loud bang, the ground sinks!
The Wuhuan cavalry who rushed in the front caught off guard and crashed into a huge pit with their men and horses. At the bottom of the pit, half-long gun rods were densely erected. The soldiers and war horses that fell into it were immediately stabbed by several guns and died inside screaming.
The strong momentum made the cavalry unable to stop, and rushed forward one after another, falling into one hidden pit after another. People shouted and neighed, and the scene was chaotic.
Qiu Liju, who was located in the central army, tried hard to hold the war horses and prevent himself from rushing forward. Looking at the dense pits and the soldiers struggling dyingly, cold sweat flowed down his face, soaking his clothes like a small river.
Such many pits cannot be dug out in a day or two. There is only one possibility: the enemy has been preparing for a long time, setting up a trap and letting himself drill in it!
In front, in the Xianbei cavalry formation, the thin Han people rode on their horses and smiled, admiring the fruits of their careful arrangement.
This trap was already arranged before attacking the Wuhuan people. When I was sweeping the villages and cities of the Wuhuan people in front, a Xianbei army stayed here. I prepared this trap. When I returned to the army, I would become a seamless cavalry hunting ground!
Guo Tu made a lot of preparations for this hunt. The Xianbei cavalry sent to lure the enemy was carefully selected by him, and they were all powerful crossbowmen with excellent archery skills. In order to speed up the marching speed of the combat troops, the stolen wealth and slaves were loaded on a cart, half of the army was escorted, quietly left from another road, and slowly advanced towards the base of the Xianbei Murong tribe. The ruts they left when they left were wiped out by the army, and they also created an illusion, as if a carriage and their cavalry unit entered the desert together.
The cavalry that lured the enemy completed the task brilliantly, and did everything as he said, leading the main force of the enemy here. When they entered the oasis, they carefully passed through the woods on both sides of the avenue to avoid falling into the trap. After they passed, the woods next to the road were stumbled on the woods, and the Wuhuan cavalry did not want to pass here easily.
After this battle, the main force of Wuhuan should be over? Unfortunately, the Wuhuan people still have strength. Our army cannot destroy all the Wuhuan people, so we can only return to the Xianbei tribe and attack Wuhuan in the future.
However, the spoils of this battle were very generous, and the one I got should never be missing. Especially Qiu Liju's more than a dozen beautiful concubines, Murong Lin generously agreed to give him more than half of them. He should have lived a very happy life in the Xianbei area.
Thinking of this, Guo Tu's eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, and he couldn't even see the bloody battle in front of him.
Seeing that the enemy who killed his relatives was right in front of him, the Wuhuan cavalry were still rushing forward bravely, falling into the pit and assassinated by the inverted spear. On his head, the rain of arrows kept falling. The Wuhuan people's leather armor could not block such sharp arrow tips, and there were heavy casualties. A bloody killing field had formed on the entire avenue.
Qiu Liju came back to his senses, shouted loudly, ordering his subordinates to stop moving forward and not to test those traps that were not discovered. But his voice was drowned by the noisy and miserable hissings, and not many people could hear it.
The messenger urged the horses to gallop everywhere, loudly conveying the command of the commander. The remaining Wuhuan cavalry turned their horses angrily and ran to the rear unwillingly. Behind them, sharp arrows were still shooting from behind, piercing their backs, causing one warrior after another to fall from the horse and die tragically in the cavalry hunting ground.
When Qiu Liju escaped from this oasis with his subordinates in the rain of arrows, there were only more than a thousand cavalry left. He was also hit by an arrow on his shoulder, penetrated his shoulder blades, and half of his body was stained with blood.
His subordinates hurriedly helped him off the horse and wrapped him in wounds. Qiu Liju frowned, endured the pain, gritted his teeth and thought about what to do.
If the Wuhuan cavalry, who were extremely sad and angry, could face the Xianbei people hidden in the oasis head-on and intersect with hands and blades, they might not lose to them. However, the Wuhuan people's weapons really made Qiu Liju frightened. Now, these people are afraid that they have not rushed to the front of the enemy and have been shot and killed by them with powerful crossbows.
Since the enemy set up a trap, they just wanted to capture them all in one go. If they walked slowly, they would be wiped out.
Thinking of this, Qiu Liju couldn't help but shivered. Revenge is important, but you have to keep your life first in order to have the opportunity to avenge revenge, take back your beautiful wife and young son, and wash away the shame.
As soon as the wound was bandaged, Qiu Liju immediately jumped onto the war horse and shouted: "Everyone is on the horse, come with me!"
The Wuhuan cavalry obeyed the order and boarded their horses to raid into the oasis again, but saw Qiu Liju running wildly, galloping straight towards the way forward.
Thousands of Wuhuan cavalry were extremely surprised. Although they were reluctant, they could only follow Qiu Liju under the command of the general and rushed into the vast desert.
Shortly after they left, all the Xianbei cavalry who had slaughtered the wounded soldiers of Wuhuan rushed out of the oasis and chased for a while in the direction of Qiu Liju's escape. Then, at the call of the horn, they returned to the oasis, took the spoils of this battle - swords, guns, and war horses, and rushed towards their hometown.
After this battle, the Murong tribe of the Xianbei tribe was greatly promoted, and the reputation of the Xianbei Central Army General Murong Lin spread all over the world. People of all ethnic groups knew that among the Xianbei people, such a hero appeared.
The Xianbei people of other tribes did not know why Murong Lin attacked and killed the Wuhuan people. However, after such a big victory, all the Xianbei people still had a glimpse on their faces. In addition, Murong Lin had been rewarded by the court, and among the Xianbei tribes, the Murong tribe had a faint sense of leadership.
The Xianbei cavalry that returned triumphantly was warmly welcomed by the elders and young tribes. The robberies that were stolen were allocated to most of the soldiers who had made meritorious contributions. The remaining part was rewarded to the elderly and weak, and the rest were used as public property in the clan.
Among these spoils, including the population stolen from the Wuhuan tribe, were all converted into slaves and worked for the Xianbei people. Even Qiu Liju's children had to do hard work and were monitored by the Xianbei people, so that they would not take the opportunity to escape.
