Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Chapter 998

The tragic fight continued at the city gate cave, and the smell of blood permeated. Every moment, two sergeants were falling down, especially the Han sergeants, most of whom were temporarily recruited by the people. With blood and bravery fighting to death for a while, bravery can't make up for the lack of combat experience, and their casualties are the most serious.

"Hey!"

The county lieutenant was so proficient in martial arts that he swung a sword and sank vigorously. The legs of a war horse were cut off by him, and the war horse knelt on the ground with a mournful cry, turning the owner on his back over.

The Xianbei cavalry was taken aback and hurriedly turned over, but the old and hard-trained county lieutenant gave him this opportunity, and rushed forward with a stride, and the ring head knife was inserted forcefully.

"Well..."

The Xianbei cavalry was hit by a knife, and suddenly stopped moving.

Hum!

The sound of string pulling fell into the ears of the county lieutenant, his brow furrowed, and he immediately lifted the Xianbei in front of him subconsciously.

Whoosh!

The arrow struck in an instant, and it happened to hit the Xianbei. This Xianbei was hit by the county lieutenant. He hadn't died yet, but he was shot another arrow by his own, and he finally stopped moving.

"Huh, come on!"

The county lieutenant roared, threw the Xianbei's corpse, and fought hard. The blood slid down from the blade and overflowed from the gap between his fingers, making him almost unable to grasp the handle of the knife. Fortunately, he used a cloth strip to tie the knife to his wrist in advance.

With the **** battle, the Han soldiers died and wounded more and more. Although the Xianbei people suffered a lot of deaths and injuries under the counterattack of the Han army, they were naturally insignificant relative to tens of thousands of people.

Seeing that Qiangyin City had not been captured for such a long time, Zonu furiously said: "Trash, if you can't take down the city, I will cut him off and confiscated his wife and children as slaves!"

Naturally, the Xianbei people are still in a slavery society, so there are many vulgarities. For example, after the death of the father, the son can inherit the stepmother as the wife. After the famous talented woman Cai Wenji was taken captive by the Huns, she suffered such a tragic fate (Cai Yan was the Xiongnu Shan Yu She gave birth to two sons and later married Cai Yan as his wife, not her biological son, but Shan Yu's eldest son). The wife and children are regarded as part of the property, and someone is often punished, and his wife and children will be used as slaves. The famous Genghis Khan used to be a slave for some time.

Hearing the threat from Zonu, these Xianbei people were naturally very anxious and stepped up their offensive efforts. As the Han army suffered more and more casualties, they finally couldn't sustain it.

The county lieutenant of the Han army was struck twice and hit an arrow, his strength was constantly lost with the blood.

"Oh... it's over."

at this time--

"woo woo woo woo!"

The desolate and simple horn horn suddenly came from the south, Zonu's complexion changed suddenly, and the county lieutenant was overjoyed.

"Come, here! Reinforcements are coming!"

Many Han sergeants couldn’t help crying. Some of them were dying, some were seriously injured, and some were fighting for themselves. The death battle of nearly a thousand Han troops was finally not in vain. Reinforcements are here, Qiangyin City Saved, wife, children, and fathers and villagers, saved!

In the south of Qiangyin City, a black line emerged, and a big scorpion was hunting in the wind.

"Change horses!" Zhang Liao roared.

Liu Ye has obtained the three major horse producing areas in Youzhou, Liangzhou, and Bingzhou. There are naturally plenty of horses in the army, and even some infantrymen are equipped with horses to speed up the march. As a veteran cavalry unit, the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry is naturally one man and two horses. Just now, using one war horse to march quickly, it consumes a lot of physical strength, so now it is changed to another horse, which is just used for combat.

Only the five thousand Bianzhou cavalry skillfully changed to another war horse, accelerated the speed of the war horse, and rushed towards the opposite side.

"Kill!"

"Xiaoshuai, the enemy is coming, what should our army do?"

Zonu couldn't help but snorted, and said angrily: "The people who attacked the city withdrew out, prepared to drag the enemy with horses and shoots, and then assault the enemy."

"Yes!"

With an order from Zonu, the Xianbei cavalrymen who were attacking Qiangyin City withdrew one after another and joined the Zonu's tribe. They only injured hundreds of cavalrymen, leaving more than 9,000 men, two of them from Zhang Liao's army. Times.

"go!"

With more than nine thousand Xianbei cavalry whizzing northward, Zhang Liaojun naturally rushed forward in hot pursuit, unwilling to relax.

"Ready to shoot!"

Seeing that the distance between the two armies was within fifty steps, Zonu shouted immediately. But the Xianbei cavalry who had been ready long ago turned their bows and let go of their bowstrings.

Whoosh whoosh!

Thousands of arrows rushed out, and when there were more than a hundred cavalrymen of the Union State fell off their horses. Fortunately, these people are proficient in riding warfare and know how to avoid arrows, otherwise this wave of arrows will cost two to three hundred people.

"Shoot again!" Zonu shouted again, and the Xianbei cavalry opened their bows and arrows, and another wave of arrows rushed out, and the state iron cavalry fell over a hundred people in response.

This is Zonu's tactics. First use horse-shooting to dissipate the morale and strength of the enemy army, and wait until the enemy army is in collapse before making a big attack. It is also commonly known as the kite-flying tactic. This tactic can only be played by the nomads, because they grew up on horseback, and the riding skills honed for decades have made them feel confident. Among the Han army, only Bai Ma Yi Cong waited for a few elite cavalrymen to understand this tactic.

Before the two armies came into contact, hundreds of people had already been injured on his side, and Zhang Liao couldn't help being furious.

"Guard! Come with me and assault the enemy!"

"kill!"

Five hundred guard cavalry followed Zhang Liao, speeding up and rushing forward. Originally, the distance between the two armies was only 50 steps, but at this moment, it was rapidly shortening and steadily decreasing. Seeing Zhang Liao's five hundred guard cavalry could enter the Xianbei cavalry formation.

For a long time, many people have had the idea that the prairie horse seems to be better than the war horse of the Central Plains. Otherwise, why can the alien race of the prairie repeatedly defeat the Central Plains? However, this is actually a fallacy. You must know that raising horses is also a science. If you want war horses to raise fat, you can't just let them eat grass. If there is insufficient nutrition, the horses will only lose fat and become malnourished.

If you want to feed real war horses, you have to give them soybeans, concentrated feed, and even eggs. When the nutrition is sufficient, the war horses will naturally become fat and strong.

Grassland horses eat grass every day and lack nutrition, so it is naturally difficult to act as a war horse. The reason why nomads have repeatedly won by relying on prairie horses is firstly because the base number of prairie horses is large enough, once grazing is tens of thousands, under such a large base number, good horses will naturally emerge; secondly, it is because The nomads have one person and two horses, or even one person and three horses. They often change horses. As a result, the physical strength of the horses is naturally reduced.
