85, The perimeter of the chisel (1)

"General, a large number of enemy troops were found in front of you!"

"General, the enemy army was found on the left side of the army!"

"General, the Huns' cavalry appeared on the right wing!"

"General, I found an enemy cavalry approaching from the rear!"

······

For a time, information about the enemy's attacks was coming in many places, as if they had encountered enemies from all directions. Although the Hebei army, where the historic site was located, slowed down, it still showed an unexpected situation at this moment. Many soldiers at the bottom even paniced with plants and trees.

Yuan's army was central to the army.

Lu Xiang, who was sweating profusely and ran back and forth, ordered various troops to meet the enemy, couldn't help but scream.

"Did these Sanhe soldiers fall from the world? How could they suddenly appear here together?"

"This is the enemy's ambush. It must be the previous birds that were cheated. This is the witchcraft of the Western Liang soldiers!"

Lu Kuang also said with horror. He really couldn't understand why the enemy ambush in multiple directions on the battlefield could be dispatched at the same time in a short period of time, killing the Hebei soldiers and horses who were attacked from all sides and caught them off guard and turned over.

Chunyu Qiong was also shocked at this moment. He did not even hear negative remarks from his generals. For a moment, he was instinctively unable to order various troops to form a large formation to defend against the enemy troops in multiple directions.

"Stabilize the formation and don't be messed up!"

"Hurry up, set up the spear and the big slat, hurry up!"

"Boundist, crossbowman, hurry up and aim at the upper string!"

"Take the injured man down!"

The commands of the Hebei military formations were heard one after another. Under the first wave of arrow rains from the light cavalry of the enemy, some soldiers who had not yet retreated into the formation suffered a lot of losses. The baggage team behind them were directly cut off the road by the opponent's cavalry. When Chunyu Qiong hurriedly mobilized the crossbowmen and rushed forward to shoot, the enemy cavalry that rushed from all sides retreated like a tide, and replaced it with the enemy's steadily advancing iron-armored spear formation.

"Hurry, send an order to let the Wuhuan cavalry attack, and don't let the enemy's infantry formation press up with the trend."

Chunyu Qiong hoped to seize the enemy cavalry and retreat. Before the infantry formation was pressed up, he counterattacked the enemy's offensive and gave his troops more time to form a ring formation. So he urgently ordered that the Wuhuan cavalry, who had just retreated after being fought with enemy cavalry for a while, continued to fight.

The state leading the Wuhuan cavalry to engage in the military order from Chunyu Qiong. Although he was unwilling to do so, he could only grit his teeth and persevere. He led the Wuhuan troops who were not yet able to recover their strength to come out again, divided into two torrents, chasing the retreating enemy cavalry and rushing straight to the weak wings of the iron armored spear formation in front.

"Dangdangdang--"

Seeing the Wuhuan cavalry in the Hebei army returning, the Sanhe Army's iron armored spear formation also slowed down and rushed out of the formation, a group of light crossbowmen splitting their wings, like a hawk spreading its wings. The powerful crossbow arrows and the ejected arrows flew over like locusts, forcing the charging Wuhuan cavalry to redirect the direction.

"Pull the arrow and prepare to retreat!"

Seeing that the enemy's arrows were gradually dense, the retreating cavalry began to gather again and dared not continue to order the Wuhuan cavalry to rush into the formation and shoot, and to circumvent the enemy's infantry formation. They could only quickly retreat after shooting a round of arrows to harass the enemy's infantry formation.

However, on the way to retreat, the command of the central army came again.

"The general has an order, and it will take time for the army to form a formation. The cavalry and horses need to raid the enemy's formation again, so they should not withdraw quickly!"

this--

The three thousand Wuhuan cavalry under his command acted as the vanguard of the army. Before they could rotate and rest, they would inevitably be bitten by the cavalry sent by the opponent again. Their team was not physically strong in the future, and they were afraid that they would suffer heavy losses after continuous fighting.

However, when he looked around, Chunyu Qiong not only sent Wuhuan Cavalry out, but also gathered cavalry from other units, led by other generals to counterattack the enemy in other directions. No matter how unwilling Qianzhao was, he could only lead the troops to continue attacking. He had to send a new order to make the Wuhuan Cavalry turn around and kill the enemy's iron armored spear formation.

This time, the arrows encountered by the Wuhuan Cavalry were undoubtedly much denser than the last time. Moreover, after a round of arrow rain, the enemy's cavalry rushed up and rushed into the Wuhuan Cavalry formation that was scattered to avoid the arrow rain, further disrupting the Wuhuan Cavalry formation and extinguishing it with the momentum.

During the cavalry's storm, Qianzhao was frightened to find that the fierceness of the enemy's cavalry was not inferior to the Wuhuan cavalry at all. The spears, swords, bows and arrows in their hands mixed with Hu and Han were like sickles for harvesting crops. They harvested and killed in batches and were disrupted by the formation, and each fought for their own battles.

"No, I have to retreat."

Qian Zhao was escorted by his personal guards. Although he charged together, he would not be trapped in a dangerous siege for a while. However, when he saw his cavalry being killed by the fierce enemy cavalry in the battle, he felt like he was bleeding inside. He was unwilling to watch the Wuhuan cavalry under his command suffered heavy losses. Qian Zhao saw that the enemy's armored spear formation gradually approaching, he issued a military order to get rid of the enemy cavalry and withdraw its own formation in time.

"Woo woo woo woo--"

The rushing horn sounded on the battlefield. When the order to withdraw troops was heard, the Wuhuan cavalry, who fought desperately with the enemy cavalry, turned around and accelerated one after another, shook the enemy cavalry, and retreated to their own formation with the retreating flag.

When Qianzhao retreated to his own formation with the Wuhuan cavalry who had lost a lot, this time the chief general Chunyu Qiong did not strictly order the cavalry troops to delay the advancement speed of the enemy infantry formation. Instead, he ordered the infantry that had been forming a ring formation to separate the reserved passages, allowing the cavalry who had been fighting for a while to retreat to the formation to rest and calm the troops.

However, Qianzhao's heart only relaxed for a while and became heavy again. When he retreated to the formation, he saw that other people gathered together to fight in a hurry, and the elite cavalry units of Wuhuan's cavalry suffered heavy losses. Many cavalry horses were hit by multiple arrows on their chests and backs, and they were seriously injured and could not continue to drive. Their master had to look at the dying mount, who was bleeding profusely, and ended his life by swinging his sword to prevent it from continuing to struggle and suffer.

Before the war began, the cavalry on his side suffered heavy losses, and the counterattack power in the battle was greatly weakened. The enemy's brigades and horses were much stronger than the Hebei army expected. He looked at the groan and neighed and felt a strong pessimism in his heart.

How can we continue this battle?

···

"The enemy has lost half of it."

After seeing the cavalry of the Hebei Army leaving behind the bodies of the people and horses, they retreated into the enemy's formation in a mess, standing on the chariot and holding the cart Shi, Cao Yuan sneered.

After the enemy's vanguard accidentally opened the boxes of the passenger pigeons in the army, the distance and direction of the Hebei army brigade were exposed in front of the ambush waiting. The enemy general Chunyu Qiong did not know that when his troops were dispatching, he did not realize that his army had already stepped into the ambush circle with one foot, and was still accelerating the marching speed, and crashed into the trap.

It is also because of this that after the ambushing everywhere, the Hebei soldiers and horses, who seemed to be attacked by enemy troops from all directions, were immediately in chaos and were soon attacked by the first wave of attacks by our own light cavalry troops. Most of the last supplies and vehicles did not have time to enter the formation, and the connection with the main force was cut off by our own light cavalry, and finally completely fell into the crowd of our own army.

In order to gain time for the infantry formation that had been gathered in a hurry, the enemy general Chunyu Qiong sent all the cavalry troops at hand to delay the speed of his infantry formation. This certainly bought time for the infantry formation, but it also sacrificed the cavalry team in disguise, thus losing the power that could be used to counterattack later.

Now he can only hope that the elite infantrymen in Hebei can withstand the attack and win the battle.

But how could he make him do what he wants?

Cao Yuan had already seen the armored spear formations of ambushed soldiers being launched everywhere approaching the Hebei Army's formation. The crossbowmen on both sides were constantly firing arrows. As the distance shortened, the number of soldiers fell down gradually increased. After reaching a distance of about ten feet, the rain of arrows became sparse again. The powerful crossbow arrows were gone, and only the shot arrows were still pouring. The soldiers on both sides of the attack and defense had to endure the casualties, and used many long weapons such as spears and long halberds to form a dense formation and began to attack the close-range enemy.

"Stay steady, keep calm, don't be confused, keep your position!"

"Push from behind, push it up quickly, hurry up!"

"Don't disperse, don't be messy!"

At the beginning of the close-up battle, the spears and halberds of the infantry on both sides formed a formation and stabbed out by the long halberds, like two forests, fighting in a dense manner. The soldiers in the front row fell down one after another, and the soldiers behind them rushed up. No matter whether they were injured or killed, the soldiers on the ground had no chance to stand up again.

The fierce fighting personnel didn't have time to pay attention to them for a while, and would just cross or even step past their bodies and continue to fight forward until they fell down.

Similarly, the moans and howlings of the people were also completely overwhelmed by the deafening shouts and fighting. In this bloody sound of war drums, everyone used all their strength, like an angry and red-eyed beast, and the mechanically repeatedly stabbed the spear in their hands, puffed up their cheeks and shouted deafening roars.
