Han counter current

Fortunately, I have an advantage in weapons and numbers, and I have a complete range of troops on my side, and they cooperate with each other tacitly. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to deal with these cavalry. "

The fierce Huns did not expect that their tactics failed to work this time, and they even failed to launch the first attack. The [-] cavalry charging in the front fell one after another on the way of charging.

Arrows all over the sky completely prevented them from advancing, and the Hun cavalry on both wings were targeted by the cavalry waiting for work on the opposite side before they drew their bows.

Soon, the number of Huns cavalry dropped sharply to more than 200. This was a massacre without any suspense. The Huns had no problem with their tactics, but they did not have enough knowledge of the enemy.

Moreover, they ignored the weather and environmental factors. Perhaps, they always thought that the enemy on the other side would also be limited by the weather and environment.

The smooth ground, inferior weapons, and crude leather armor are all fatal shortcomings of the Huns.

Under the same circumstances, it may not be effective for the Huns cavalry to slash their opponents three times, but their opponents only need one knife to end their lives.

This kind of battle of unequal strength will not last for too long, and the remaining Huns are gradually surrounded in a circle, and they rely on each other to do the final battle of trapped beasts.

"The enemy is asking for help, and their reinforcements will arrive soon." The scouts reported the situation in the Huns tribe.

"Well done, what we're waiting for is their rescue, let Gao Ping slow down.

Chen Feng coldly ordered: "It would be best to be able to deal with the enemy's main force in the wild, heh heh, I'm really worried that they won't dare to come out..."

Chapter 91

The crossbowmen did not participate in the strangulation of the remaining Hun cavalry, and after completing their tasks, these crossbowmen were wrapped in down coats.

Or adjust your own bowstring, or drink some wine and eat something to replenish your energy, or shake your hands to relax.

Because everyone knows that this is just an appetizer, and more Huns will rush up next, and the crossbowmen will be the protagonists of this battle, and they must get enough rest and protection.

The besieged Huns wanted to rush out, but every time they charged, the surrounding enemy troops would shoot arrows together to prevent them from moving. As long as they stayed within the encirclement and did not mess around, the enemy troops would not do anything to them , until the Huns saw the banner of their reinforcements.

"About more than 300 people."

Chen Feng roughly estimated the number.

"Didn't it mean that half of the tribes directly descended from King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu were transferred? Why wasn't this tribe transferred away? Is there a mistake in the information, or is this tribe special? No matter, take a few prisoners and torture them Just torture."

"Kill all,,,,,,"

The effect of luring the enemy to attack has been achieved, and there is no meaning for these remnants of the Huns to stay.All the cavalry here bowed their bows and set arrows, and all the Huns in the encirclement were shot into hedgehogs.Then, the group of cavalry immediately returned to their posts, ready for the next battle.

Before the Huns reinforcements arrived, the wailing of the wounded Huns almost stopped.

This kind of cold weather, coupled with the loss of blood, few people can bear it. Moreover, the Xiongnu reinforcements are too slow, and there is no time to rescue them.

"It's the Han army."

The commander-in-chief of the reinforcements of the Huns was the leader of the tribe, and he guessed the identity of the other party from the intelligence he got from the spies.

"When did the Han army become so powerful that they dared to launch an attack on our tribe in winter? Well, today I will let you humble Han people know what the Huns are."

Although he said so on the lips, the leader was retreating in his heart.Outsiders don't know the internal situation of the tribe. The five hundred cavalrymen before are the most elite warriors in the tribe.

Don't look at the fact that there are more than 1000 people on my side. In fact, most of them are old and weak.As a staunch supporter of King Zuoxian, this tribe also transferred half of the warriors.

"Rescue is meaningless. Let's go back to the camp to defend."

When there were still about five miles away from the battlefield ahead, the leader learned about the situation from the spies. All 500 people on his side were dead, and no one was worthy of their rescue.

"Huh? Going to run."

Chen Feng saw the opponent changing formation from a distance, and immediately deduced the opponent's intention.

"Order Cao Xing to send out all the cavalry to entangle the opponent. In addition, order Xu Huang to temporarily change the plan and let him look for opportunities by himself."

Chen Feng was not stupid, he managed to mobilize the opponent, how could he let the opponent run back, he led the rest of the cavalry to bring the horses of the crossbowmen and sword and shield soldiers.

Then he ordered everyone to change into light cavalry equipment such as horse-cutting swords and riding bows. The positional battle was impossible, but Chen Feng still had an advantage in the pursuit battle.

"If you want to run away, you have to ask Cao Xing whether you agree or not."

Cao Xing led three or four hundred cavalry to catch up with the Huns first. There was a distance between the two sides.

The leader of the Huns also retreated according to the estimated distance. Sending troops to rescue showed his bravery, and retreating in time showed his wisdom, at least the leader of the Huns thought so.

In his estimation, even if the opponent's cavalry could catch up with him, he would be almost at the camp by then.But who knew that the opponent's war horse could run so fast.

This is a world of ice and snow, the ground is frozen into ice, people can't stand still, and the horseshoes of the war horses can only slip on it, but the opponent's cavalry can run.

"Why is this happening? The cavalry of the Han army has become so powerful."

The leader of the Huns was stunned, the situation in front of him was a bit out of his control, all he could do now was to rush back to the camp as soon as possible.

"There are only more than 300 people, don't be afraid, warriors, take up your bow and arrow, don't let them get close..."

The Huns wanted to use bows and arrows, and so did Cao Xing.On galloping horses, cavalry generally can only use short bows, with a range of about [-] steps. The bows of the Huns are of poor quality, with a range of only [-] to [-] steps. Before the two sides approach, the arrows greet first.

Cao Xing did not fight recklessly here. More than 300 cavalry were divided into two teams to bypass the rear of the Huns. Only the cavalry under Chen Feng's command can do it.

"Finally, it was delayed. All the crossbowmen got off their horses and marched forward in formation."

Chen Feng still didn't want to charge, he was waiting, waiting for the opponent's formation to collapse.

The crossbowmen's equipment is all on the horse. In addition to the special bow and crossbow, each person also carries a horse-chopping sword and a pair of riding bows. special crossbow.

"Stop, line up."

When he was about a hundred steps away from the rear of the Huns, Gao Ping ordered to line up, and then, looking at the chaotic rear of the opponent, Gao Ping ordered to shoot.

The infantry's bows and crossbows are relatively lethal, and Chen Feng paid a lot of money to train these crossbowmen.Crossbows are expensive and complex in structure. Western Liaoning has not yet formed an assembly line for production, so the output is not much.

The production process of the traditional longbow is also very troublesome. In desperation, Chen Feng had to use the English longbow in his memory to replace the infantry longbow in the army.

The biggest advantage of the English longbow is that it has a long range, low cost, less procedures, easy mass production, and no need for deliberate maintenance, and it is thrown away when it is worn out.

In this way, Chen Feng was able to solve the equipment problem of the crossbowmen in such a short period of time.

Although the accuracy is not high enough, but the crossbowmen can't stand the volley, and with so many Huns crowded together in the distance, it is possible to hit the enemy with an arrow with your eyes closed.

Wave after wave of arrows flew in, and the Huns' rear team was completely confused.They also wanted to use bows and arrows to fight back, but the shooting range was not enough, and they wanted to ride their horses to chase them, but they couldn't run as fast as their opponents. In this case, the Huns were more likely to be beaten.

"why why?"

Two reasons in a row, the leader of the Xiongnu didn't know how to explain the situation in front of him.

"The arrows of the Han army don't need money, how dare they waste it like this, they are all iron arrows, have the Han army gone crazy?"

Indeed, according to the crossbowman's shooting method, Chen Feng's arrow consumption is too high. On average, even if they shoot two arrows per minute, it's almost a quarter of an hour. They have already shot nearly 1 arrows. Duogan, and the Huns on the opposite side have less than 500 people.
