Chapter 187
The Han army retreated steadily under the impact of Hu Qi. The Han army, which was divided into a dozen small formations, could hardly resist the impact of Hu Qi. Keep fighting, but already on the verge of collapse.
In fact, when the two armies fought, only a small number of enemy troops were killed or wounded in the front. The largest number of casualties in the war often appeared in the disintegrated stage after the war. .
Li Wenhou was overjoyed and sent his troops to supervise the battle. As long as these Han troops collapsed, the battle would be a complete victory.
"Hey, huh?"
Li Wenhou frowned, because in the darkness in the distance, there were dots of fire, no doubt the light from the torch.
Gradually the flames became closer and closer, and finally revealed his true face in the darkness, only four thousand cavalry came galloping, several flags were flying in the wind, followed by two thousand infantry marching slowly .
"kill!"
Zhang Jai sat on the horse, pointed his spear forward, and two thousand cavalry followed behind him to attack the Chinese army.
The other two thousand cavalry were not Han cavalry, but two thousand Hu cavalry from Yao Lingkun's clan. Ever since Liu Ye rode into the city alone that day, Yao Lingkun admired Liu Ye's courage very much, and the two often came and went.
Qiang and Hu live together in the northwestern region. Although there are Qiang people who make trouble, there are also many Qiang people who live and work in peace and contentment like the Yao Lingkun people. Liu Ye decisively adopted the strategy of attracting some and attacking some, so he specially sent two thousand of the Yao Lingkun people to control the strings. Zhishi was invited to join the army, and Yao Lingkun was named military Sima, which made him very delicate.
The Zhang character banner pointed directly at Zhou Shenzhong's army, and the two thousand cavalry slammed into Li Wenhou's army like an iron cone, forcibly tearing a hole in Li Wenhou's army.
Zhang Jai, the leader, is invincible with a spear in his hand. He himself is from Hebei, and he is quite proficient in riding. Now he comes to the northwest to command the cavalry to fight like a fish in water.
The arrival of the two thousand cavalry under Zhang Ja's command greatly eased Zhou Shenjun's plight, and made the Qin army camp heave a sigh of relief, while a large Li character general flag was reflected in Zhang Ja's eyes.
"Follow me!"
Zhang Jai ordered all the ministries to continue to charge, and led more than 300 riders to charge forward. When encountering Hu Qi, he charged directly, and charged towards Li Wenhou in a straight line.
The Qiang people were martial artists, two generals galloped out of the Hu cavalry formation, a centurion and a thousand commander, seeing how bold Zhang Jaw was, they brandished their sabers to meet him immediately, trying to intercept this arrogant Han general.
"General Wu Nahan, eat a certain knife!"
The two sabers came from the left and right, but Zhang Jaw was happy and unafraid. He casually shot the back of the saber, pushed one saber aside, and then shot the other saber like lightning. Just as the long spear knocked the saber aside, the tip of the spear opened its jaws and hit Huanglong directly, and suddenly raised its arm, and stabbed forward with all its strength.
The centurion Hu Qi was shot in the heart, fell off his horse and fell to the ground, the other centurion was startled, he pulled his horse and fled, how could he let him go, he rode his horse to catch up, and stabbed him in the back Heart.
The two died in the hands of Zhang Jaw, one in front and one in the back, but he didn't care, pointing the spear point at Li Wenhou.
"kill!"
Three hundred Han cavalry rushed forward, pointing directly at Li Wenhou. Fortunately, there were many Hu cavalry around Li Wenhou, and they were firmly entangled with Zhang Jaw.
On the other side, Yao Lingkun led two thousand horsemen wandering between the gaps between Li Wenhou's army.
More than 2,000 Hu cavalry were besieging a Han army formation. The weak Han army had already fallen to the brink of collapse, but with the arrival of Yao Lingkun's 2,000 cavalry, they finally cheered up.
The two thousand iron cavalry of Yao Lingkun carried a huge impact force and slammed into the Hu cavalry under Li Wenhou's command, which immediately caused some Hu cavalry to fall into chaos, and the energetic Han army hurriedly organized a counterattack.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Shen breathed a sigh of relief.
"Order the whole army to stand firm!"
Compared to Zhou Shen's joy, Li Wenhou was furious. He was about to defeat all the Han troops, so why did he kill Cheng Yaojin halfway.
And at this moment, two thousand infantry led by Yu Jin also joined the battle. Among them, the thousand recruits recruited from various counties in Tianshui County were still a little uncomfortable, but seeing the indifferent faces of the thousand veterans, the restless mood Slowly settle down.
This is the advantage of veterans. They can lead recruits to mature quickly with their experience, but the proportion of veterans must be relatively high. If there are only 1,000 elite soldiers in an army of 10,000, once the army bombs the camp, the rout recruits will even take them away. The fighting spirit of the veterans is taken away together.
As soon as Yu Jin arrived at the battlefield, he immediately gave the order to attack.
"Spearman, form an assault!"
"Bowmen ready."
I saw the elite soldiers of two thousand soldiers clenched their spears, rubbing each other's heels and advancing quickly towards the front, but in front of the forbidden army was a phalanx of the Han army who was entangled and wandering outside. Go Hu Qi.
"assault."
Yu Jin waved the flag, and the spearman pounced forward immediately, stabbing out with a spear that was more than three meters in his hand, piercing the Hu cavalry, men and horses in front of him into a string.
Hu Qi, who was suddenly attacked by the Forbidden Ministry, killed and injured more than a hundred people, and then hurriedly got rid of the siege, but escaped from the surrounding Han army phalanx. After nearly two thousand Hu Qi rushed out for a while, they regrouped into a group, and then swooped towards Yu Ban's menacingly.
The advantage of the cavalry lies in the impact. After running for a while, the two thousand horsemen who had successfully gained momentum came galloping on their horses. They raised their sabers one after another, wanting to show the new Han army a little bit of strength.
"Bowmen, shoot in batches!"
The spearmen returned to the formation, and the crossbowmen appeared in front of the formation. The crossbowmen were divided into two rows, one in front and one behind. The first row half-knelt on the ground, and the second row stood upright. Two rows of crossbowmen can attack at the same time.
"shooting."
The crossbowmen in the front and back rows let go of their fingers at the same time, and with the bang bang sound of the bowstring, arrow feathers rushed forward, and immediately more than a hundred horsemen fell off their horses again, and were rushed up from behind. Hu Qi was crushed into a meat paste by the torrent.
The elite crossbowmen who had just finished firing their arrows consciously entered immediately to provide time for the comrades behind them to organize their attacks.
Another round of arrows shot out, and then came out the sword and shield hand, erecting the large shield in his hand on the ground, one shield after another formed a long shield wall, and the spearman behind him was Tacitly put the three-meter-long spear on the shield wall, forming a shield wall with both offensive and defensive capabilities, which made people stand coldly.
