Chapter 27 The Battle Begins
After receiving the news from Fuluo, Xu Bu Gudu Hou Shanyu really couldn't do it. Although Xu Bu Gudu Hou Shanyu also didn't believe it, Ding Yuan had such a big appetite and wanted to swallow his twenty thousand Xiongnu cavalry in one bite. Isn't Ding Yuan afraid that he can't eat it, but choked?
But it is always unpleasant to have such a 5,000-person Han army team behind them. So Xubu Gudu Hou Shanyu sent his own cronies. Dort, known as the first warrior of the Huns, rushed over with 5,000 Huns.
Seeing that Dorttel came with people, Yu Fuluo suddenly felt much more at ease. With Fuluo's understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Han army, Dort's 5,000 people can completely defeat the Han army in front of him.
However, Yu Fuluo still has some regrets, that is, Xu Bu Gudu Hou Shanyu still underestimates the Han people too much. In Fuluo's view, a successful leader does not need to establish much merit, but he has to be unaware of progress and retreat. And Xu Bu Gudu Hou Shanyu is just eager for merit, so how can he not be fooled by the Han people?
Yu Fuluo is thinking secretly, but Dort'er has come to Yu Fuluo's side.
Dot'er looked at Yu Fuluo who greeted him and said angrily, "Isn't it just thousands of Han pigs waiting to be slaughtered? If I don't come, can the leader of Yu Fuluo only look at it like this?
After listening to Dort's words, the generals behind Yu Fuluo's face were already covered with black lines, and they had to come forward to argue with Dort's. Yu Fuluo smiled and said, "Leader Doter, please prove your bravery again with the sword in your hand."
Originally, I came up to Fuluo to call Doteer, be careful of the Han people's formation. However, when Yu Fuluo heard Doter's bad words, he suddenly changed his mind. It is useless to just say some things. Only the lessons of blood can make people really remember.
Seeing the Xiongnu on the opposite side coming to help, Gao Shun had to transfer back the 2,000 soldiers who built fortifications. However, looking at the situation in front of him, the Huns did not intend to retreat in an all-round way, and Gao Shun finally felt a lot at ease. If the Huns escape back to the grassland by tomorrow, then Gao Shun's whole strategic plan will be finished. Fortunately, the Huns did not go out.
"Your Excellency, should we also report a letter to Ding Taishou and ask for some reinforcements? Now we have to face 8,000 Hunnu cavalry.
Gao Shun's general Cao He saw that the Huns were powerful, and he was worried and suggested Gao Shun.
"Don't worry, our soldiers have the cover of the horse, and the Huns can't take advantage of it. At this time, he asked Lord Taishou for reinforcements. Even if the reinforcements came, he would face the direct attack of the Huns. It's just an increase in some casualties for nothing. Let's rely on ourselves. If it's just 8,000 Xiongnu cavalry, it's not impossible to stick to it until tomorrow morning. Tomorrow will be the end of the Huns.
Gao Shun rejected Cao's proposal, but looked at Cao's worried face, he cheered up Cao:
"As long as the twenty thousand iron horses of the Xiongnu can be eliminated in one fell swoop this time, I can guarantee that no foreigner will come to Wuyuan County to fight the autumn wind within three or five years. Isn't it worth fighting with us?
After listening to Gao Shun's words, Cao Xi felt that he had suddenly changed. He didn't care about gains and losses so much, and suddenly became much more open-minded.
Finally, soon after the arrival of Dort, the attack of the Huns began.
I saw Dorttel, a majestic Xiongnu man, take a strange weapon from the winning hook and point straight to the sky. This weapon is more than two feet long, and the tip is shining cold. Under the sunset, it looks even cold and piercing. If Lv Bu was present at this time, he would have been shocked. The weapon that Doter took out was the Fang Tianhua halberd handed down from generation to generation by the Lv Bu family.
As Doter slowly put down the Fang Tianhua halberd in his hand, the horses of the Xiongnu cavalry began to move forward slowly. With the acceleration of the downward speed of the Fang Tianhua halberd, the horse speed of the Xiongnu cavalry also accelerated. When the Fang Tianhua halberd flattened, the war horses of the Xiongnu cavalry had reached full speed.
The Han soldiers who stood far away in the Rejection array were all shocked to see the Huns surging and hear the rumble of horses' hoofs in their ears. Everyone's faces are cold.
Looking at those frightened soldiers, Gao Shun wanted the soldiers to retreat and temporarily avoid the edge of the Xiongnu cavalry, but after thinking about it, he was afraid that the soldiers had no choice but to retreat, so they no longer had the courage to face the charge of the Xiongnu cavalry.
As a last resort, Gao Shun had to fight in person and let the shield soldiers be in the front. According to Gao Shun's understanding of the Huns cavalry, the Huns will disrupt the formation of the Han army with arrows before approaching the Han army's phalanx. However, Gao Shun looked behind him and didn't worry.
Gao Shun's rejection was established by relying on rejection. The soldiers hid behind the horse. On the one hand, it can block the impact of the cavalry, and on the other hand, due to the interference of horses and soldiers, the soldiers are actually formed in groups of scattered soldiers. In this way, there is no doubt that the damage caused by the arrow rain to the soldiers will be reduced. As long as the soldiers are smart enough to escape the three arrows of the Xiongnu cavalry. Then it's the turn of the Huns to taste it.
When the soldiers saw Gao Shun himself in battle, came to the front phalanx and stood with the soldiers. The soldiers' already panicked faces finally gradually showed calmness.
As expected by Gao Shun, when the horse of the Huns rushed to the place where there was still an arrow away from the phalanx of the Han army. Dottel, who was the first, slowly straightened up again, and the square halberd in his hand also pointed to the sky.
See the signal sent by Dorttel. The Xiongnu soldiers untied their long bows one by one, bent their bows and drew arrows. When Dortmund waved Fang Tian's halberd down, 5,000 Xiongnu cavalry and 5,000 feather arrows shot at the Han army.
Fortunately, the Han army was originally arranged by scattered soldiers, and there were horses to block it. Coupled with the protection of the shield soldiers, the casualties of the Han army were not large. Compared with the feather and arrow attack of the Huns, the archers on the Han army also raised their bows and arrows and shot at the Huns.
When the arrow rain of the Han army shot, Dort'er shook the Fang Tianhua halberd and pointed down. Then, the Xiongnu cavalry hid themselves next to the horses one by one to avoid the attack of the arrow rain.
It's just that although the Xiongnu knight escaped the attack of the arrow rain, their horses were not so lucky. In addition, the Xiongnu cavalry was originally a dense formation, which undoubtedly increased the lethality of feather arrows.
After the Xiongnu launched three arrows, the Xiongnu cavalry and the Han soldiers finally reached a short distance.
The Huns were originally fierce, and this Dort was even more fierce. Dottel looked at a tall reject horse in front of him, blocking the way of the war horse. He clenched the Fang Tianhua halberd with both hands, leaned forward, and suddenly picked up, and flew the rejected horse in front of him to one side.
The Han soldiers hiding behind the horse saw that they were extremely fierce, and they still had the courage to come forward and run away one by one. It's just that Dorttel was fierce, and the soldiers would be allowed to escape there. Dort was in a hurry to rush to cut off several Han soldiers in front of him. Dort'er expected it when he was about to urge the horse to chase the Han soldiers in front of him. With a bang, a war horse behind Dort'er hit Dort's horse's buttocks. Dortmund didn't pay attention and carried it to the front of the horse. Many of them were quick-sighted and quick-handed. They immediately supported the Fang Tianhua halberd in their hands and suddenly crossed forward.
As Dortmund's horse was hit by the horses behind him, a rumble sounded on the battlefield. It turned out that the horses of the Huns were too fast and arranged with dense formations. The horses in front were blocked by the horses, so they had to slow down and were naturally hit by the horses behind. However, if the horses in front of you do not slow down, they will only collide with the rejected horses of the Han army.
Looking at the Huns, people shouted that the horses were hissing. Some clever Han soldiers and soldiers couldn't do it anymore. They rushed forward one by one and fought with the Huns who were hit for a while. There are also a lot of gains.
Looking at his soldiers bumping into a group, Dort was also a little panicked for a moment. The Xiongnu have been fighting like this for many years. According to Dortmund's thought, he took these 5,000 Xiongnu cavalry, and as long as he made a charge, he could disperse the Han army in front of him. As long as the Han army loses its formation and can't cover for each other, it is not like a lamb to be slaughtered, let Dort'er kill at will. However, the scene in front of him completely subverted Dort's consistent thinking.
Dort'er was busy organizing the Xiongnu soldiers who had smashed the war horse to fight. While waving the square halberd in his hand, he let the Xiongnu cavalry who had not yet hit it. Turn and slow down.
Seeing such a good opportunity in front of him, Gao Shun quickly gestured to the messenger around him. Let the soldiers of the first battle attack. Then Gao Shun couldn't help saying, and the first one rushed out and killed the Huns who were still in chaos.
