Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 769 Wind...wind..., gale!

Now on the battlefield against the Huns, in addition to the about [-] Fubo battalion logistics troops stationed in Yuanyin and Yuanyang counties, there are also about [-] troops from Ma Teng Fubo battalion and Zhang Xiu's troops. Six thousand heavily armored cavalry.

Of course, compared to the number of Huns, Zhu Weijun's troops are actually not too many.

But the more than 2 cavalry stationed here seemed to have formed a boxy steel island, ready to face the impact of the Huns cavalry sea.

At this time, the Huns rushing forward were getting closer and closer. After a while, they were already a thousand paces away. Looking at the speed of the Huns driving their horses, they only needed a few more breaths to reach Ma Teng's headquarters. The front of the Fubo battalion cavalry.

But Ma Teng still didn't order his cavalry to attack, as if he was waiting for the Huns to charge over.

Eight hundred steps, five hundred steps, the Huns were getting closer and closer. Under Ma Teng's signal, the archers hidden behind the frontal cavalry drew their bows and drew arrows one after another, bowing their bodies, waiting for the order to release their feather arrows.

"Wind... wind... strong wind!"

Soon the commanding officer on the archers side shouted an order, and four or five thousand archers released their bowstrings at the same time, and one after another the feathered arrows flew into the air, turning into a cloud of arrows .

"Bang bang bang..., whoosh..."

The rain of arrows soon covered an area of ​​about two to three hundred steps in front of Ma Teng's Fubo Camp cavalry, which happened to be the moment when the Huns galloped into the area on horseback.

So thousands of Huns turned their backs on their backs in front of Zhu Weijun's formation, as if they had cleared an area all at once.

"Wind... wind... strong wind!"

The cavalry of Ma Teng's army shouted loudly in unison, as if they wanted to use the wind to make the feather arrows have a faster speed and stronger penetrating power, and shoot all the Huns in front of them to death.

Of course, the slogan of Dafeng also has its origin. In fact, it can be traced back to the "Song of Dafeng" written by Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty.

"When the wind blows, the clouds fly, Vega comes back home, and the warriors guard the four directions!"

"Great Wind Song" is a military song often sung by the Han army, and the initial two characters "Great Wind" in "Great Wind Song" became the slogan (made up) that the Han army often shouted when facing the enemy.

Especially when the cavalry is fighting, they will shout "gale wind" in their mouths, hoping to ride with the wind and come with the wind, so that they can rush to the enemy like the wind and kill the enemy in pieces.

Now the Ma Teng army shouted in unison, and it seemed to turn into a strong wind for a while, blowing the feathered arrows in the air, and fell towards the Hun cavalry in front, as if they could really call the wind and rain, and let the Hun cavalry in front of them fall from their horses with the wind.

At this time, most of the Xiongnu cavalry who rushed up did not have armor or hand shields to protect themselves, so when they suddenly saw the rain of arrows falling from the sky, it was too late to dodge.

So after a round of arrow rain washed away, almost all the Hun cavalry who entered this area fell off their horses with arrows, and stayed on the spot either dead or injured.

However, the Huns were still very brave, so by taking advantage of the interval between firing bows and arrows, a large number of Huns cavalry rushed forward in the rear, avoiding the overturned companions in front, and speeding up the sprinting speed. In the shortest time, he rushed through the last two hundred steps and got close to Zhu Weijun.

But something surprising happened again.

Just when these Huns drove their horses into the last two hundred paces area, many Huns felt that the galloping horses under their crotches suddenly rushed forward, as if their horses had been tripped by something, and they fell to the ground one after another. Let them also fall forward involuntarily.

"Witchcraft...Witchcraft...", "These Han people know witchcraft!"

Many Huns dropped their war horses, but still didn't know what happened, they could only scream loudly in their mouths, and now only witchcraft could make them understand, otherwise they really couldn't figure out what happened to their war horses.

And after the horses they drove fell, most of them had difficulty standing up again. Even if some horses stood up, they were already limping and could not continue to run. The bones on the feet of many horses were obviously broken. come out.

Of course, the Huns who fell off their war horses also had no good results. Many of them also fell badly, and some even broke their necks and died.

It can be said that before Zhu Weijun launched a counterattack, two or 3000 of the Huns who charged in front of Zhu Weijun's formation had fallen to the ground. In addition to those Huns who were shot and killed by feather arrows, there were also many people who fell down inexplicably. of war horses.

Such a scene naturally stunned the eyes of the Huns who followed up. Many Huns subconsciously reined in their horses and slowed down their horses. Charged forward.

Of course, at this time, the archers on Zhu Weijun's side shot another round of feather arrows, and in the stunned Huns, nearly a thousand more Huns were shot off their horses by feather arrows.

It can be said that in a short period of time, the Huns had lost no less than 5000 people before they had contact with Zhu Weijun.

This accounted for nearly a quarter of the Huns who rushed over. In front of Zhu Weijun's still-moving army formation, a large number of Huns and horses turned upside down. This visual scene is absolutely shocking.

"Wind... wind... strong wind!"

The horsemen of the Fubo camp on Zhu Weijun's side continued to shout in their mouths, and at the same time, two thousand cavalry from the two wings of Zhu Weijun's formation each attacked the somewhat stupefied Huns in front of them.

Under the leadership of Ma Teng's sons Ma Dai and Ma Tie, these cavalry seemed to be rushing towards the Huns along some passages with hidden signs in front of them. Seemingly normal grass.

It turned out that on the battlefield in front of Zhu Weijun's formation, there were countless horse traps about the width of a fist and the depth of an arm. Therefore, when the Huns galloped over, once the horse's legs fell into these pits, they galloped quickly. The acceleration will naturally break their feet.

In this way, the war horses will be useless, and they will fall to the ground involuntarily, and those Huns who control the war horses will naturally be thrown to the ground.

It’s just that this kind of trap is difficult to find on this plateau grassland landform, so many Huns still don’t know why they fell off their horses or why their horses broke their feet. They just think it’s the witchcraft of the Han people.

Of course, these traps were also not polite to Zhu Weijun's cavalry, so when Zhu Weijun's cavalry went out to fight, they only dared to attack from a few specially reserved safe passages.

But this will not affect the attack speed of Zhu Weijun's cavalry, so Ma Dai and Ma Tie led the Zhu Weijun's cavalry on both wings to gallop out, and soon rushed into the somewhat bewildered Huns in front.

Ma Dai, who led the team to attack, is a young brave general with first-class martial arts. He can easily kill the warriors facing the Huns. Although Ma Tie can only be regarded as a third-rate general, at least his martial arts are also top-notch. Naturally, he is not an ordinary Hun can resist.

Under the two of them charging the sharp Fubo battalion cavalry, the Huns were almost invincible and unstoppable...
