Finally, after overcoming the Wei army's trap formation and the horse-rejection formation, Brodon led the scarred Huns cavalry to the front of the Wei army's formation.

I originally thought that this time I could finally fight happily, but when I got closer, Brodhon was a little dumbfounded. The Wei army dug several trenches horizontally in front of the position, and behind the trenches,

Piles of earthen fortifications were piled high, while the Wei soldiers hid behind the earthen fortifications and stood ready.

Such a defensive position is simply a nightmare for the cavalry. The trench is so deep and wide that it is completely impossible for the horses to jump across it, even if they sprint with all their strength. The main reason is the earthen ramparts piled up behind the trench.

It is half a man's height, which seriously affects the jumping of the war horse.

If the Huns cavalry wanted to rush over, they could only fill up these trenches, but just looking at the workload of filling the trenches, it was far from the labor intensity of filling the horse pits and blocking the horse guns. If you want to completely fill these trenches, at least

It also takes a long time.

Moreover, the archers of the Wei army lurking behind the earthen fortress were not a vegetarian. They waited for the Huns to come forward and then sniped them.

This kind of offensive method is not what Brodon likes to see.

Just when Brodon hesitated, a horn sound came from the north. This was the communication horn that Brodon had discussed with Mengdu in advance to launch an attack at the same time. When this horn sounded, it proved that Mengdu had already

He made preparations for the attack and made an appointment with him to attack the Wei army from both north and south directions.

Could it be that the situation in the north is better than his side? Brodon secretly speculated.

But in fact, the situation on both sides is exactly the same. The Wei army's defense settings on the north and south sides are roughly the same. They also dug pits and hid their horses. When Mengdu attacked, he also encountered the same setbacks as Brodong, only

However, Mengdu was cautious. When he saw that the situation was not right, he urgently made an appropriate retreat of his troops and horses, so the losses of the Huns in the north were lower than those in the south.

However, after overcoming the two defenses of the pit formation and the horse-rejection formation, Mengdu was also at a loss when faced with the Wei army's position with deep trenches and high bases.

It can be seen that the Wei army made careful defensive preparations in Xiliulin. Whether it was trapping horses, resisting horse guns, or deep trenches and high fortresses, they were all specially designed to restrain the cavalry.

Obviously, the Wei army was fully prepared for the Huns' attack. If Mengdu's guess was correct, all this should be a trap for the Wei army. It seemed that Liu Yue's previous worries were not unreasonable.

But at this moment, the Huns were like an arrow on the string and had no choice but to attack. They came with such a large number of troops, killed hundreds of people, and returned home defeated. It felt that no one could swallow this breath.

However, what is more advantageous to the Huns is that the Wei army only has infantry troops in Xiliu Forest, and the two cavalry teams are hundreds of miles away from Xiliu Forest. Even if they get the news as soon as possible and rush back from a hundred miles away, it will still take

It would take at least half a day, and Liu Yue had already arranged for two other big men to lead his troops to intercept, so it could at least be delayed a little longer.

Even though the Wei army built a lot of fortifications, Mengdu didn't believe that they couldn't take Xiliu Forest in one day, so Mengdu didn't ask Liu Yue for instructions and directly ordered the Huns to attack the Wei army's position and blow the horn at the same time.

Contact Brodong. As long as the Huns can attack from both sides, the Wei people's defensive pressure will become greater. They will lose sight of one thing and give the Huns an opportunity to take advantage of.

After giving the order, the Huns cavalry began to attack. However, if they wanted to overcome the deep trenches and high fortresses in front of them, the strength of the cavalry alone was not enough. The Huns needed to fill up the trenches in front of them before they could have a chance to attack the Wei army's fortress.

In the camp.

Earth was needed to fill the trench, so each Huns cavalryman carried a sandbag, rushed to the front of the trench, and threw the sandbag into the trench.

If each person throws a sandbag, there will be thousands of sandbags. Thousands of sandbags stacked together will definitely be impressive. If the Huns cavalry ran a few more times, they might still fill the trench quickly.

draw.

But the Wei soldiers hiding behind the earthen fort were not vegetarians. When the Huns cavalry galloped back and forth and threw sandbags into the trenches, these Wei soldiers would suddenly fire arrows and kill the Hun cavalry and war horses as long as they had the opportunity.

To rub salt into the wounds of the Huns.

Today's battle for the Huns was indeed frustrating and frustrating. The cavalry has always been invincible and invincible, but today when faced with the Wei army's infantry, they seemed to have been kicked off an iron plate. The endless defenses made the Huns exhausted.

Countless losses.

In the past, the Hun cavalry only knew how to fight in battle and enjoy grudges, but now they are very useless as soil haulers, and they have to brave the enemy's arrows to move forward. If they are not careful, they will fall in the enemy's trench, becoming

Materials for filling trenches.

However, the Wei army was fighting more and more smoothly. Cao Liang arranged Yang Hu on the southern front and Du Yu on the northern front, while Wang served as the reserve team. If there was an emergency, he would support that side. No matter what, the Wei army would

You have to hold your ground.

Cao Liang did not combine these three infantry battalions under his command, but temporarily disrupted the organization of the three infantry battalions. Now each unit includes one-third of the three infantry battalions, including pikemen.

, there are sword and shield soldiers, as well as archers. This combination is conducive to the infantry building a solid and strong position.

Moreover, the layers of defense system have also benefited the Wei army a lot. Before the two sides had a head-on confrontation, the Huns soldiers lost hundreds of people because they underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly. Now the Wei army's defense line can be said to be impregnable and strong.

Like a rock, it is difficult for the Huns to cross the threshold.

In fact, the Wei army's holding on to its position was just stalling for time. Cao Liang was waiting for the smooth return of the Yueqi battalion and the Tunqi battalion. Before that, the Wei army's infantry needed to maintain the position with minimal casualties in exchange for victory.

Now it seems that the defensive measures adopted by Cao Liang were indeed good. He had already blocked the fierce offensive of the Huns cavalry without spending a single soldier, and was forced to turn to positional warfare.

For the Huns soldiers who were good at cavalry warfare, they did not have many opportunities to fight this kind of positional warfare, so they naturally seemed a little confused and at a loss as to what to do.

After losing the advantage of speed, the cavalry naturally became much mediocre. In this kind of trench filling operation, the cavalry was completely reduced to the role of engineers, and I am afraid they are not even as good as engineers. Nuo Da's men and horses have undoubtedly become
