Chapter 511 Deviation
According to Cao Liang's plan, the Yue Cavalry Battalion and the Tun Cavalry Battalion returned to support Xiliulin from the north and south respectively, and then joined forces with the Third Infantry Battalion to encircle and annihilate the Huns soldiers led by Liu Yue.
However, in actual operations, some deviations occurred, that is, the Yueqi battalion marched too fast, and the Huns' interception had no effect at all. The Yueqi battalion only took a little more than half a day to arrive.
The outskirts of Xiliu Forest.
But at this moment, the Tunqi battalion failed to keep up with the rhythm of the Yueqi battalion. After Shi Bao saw the signal of the smoke, he immediately returned to the army to help.
However, halfway up the road, the Tunqi battalion also encountered the Huns' obstruction. Compared with the Yueqi battalion, the combat effectiveness of the Tunqi battalion was more than a step behind. They were caught in a fierce battle with the Huns cavalry and were unable to quickly attack them.
Breaking through the Huns' blockade, so when the Yueqi battalion arrived at Xiliu Forest, the Tunqi battalion had not yet arrived.
In fact, this is a completely normal thing. The Tunqi Battalion has just expanded and recruited a large number of new soldiers. Like the Third Infantry Battalion, they have never experienced combat. Although Shi Bao is a fierce general, he is a
No matter how brave a person is, even if he has three heads and six arms, his effect will be extremely limited in the chaos of chaos.
Shi Bao can lead such a new army and fight the Huns inextricably. In fact, it is already very good. If it were an ordinary general, leading a new army with no experience in fighting, it would be strange if he would not be exhausted.
.
Deng Ai didn't get a response from Shi Bao, so he knew that Shi Bao's side was hopeless for the time being, and the Yueqi battalion had already arrived outside Xiliu Forest. Liu Yue must have known about the failure of Suo Gan's interception. In order to prevent Liu Yue from
To escape, Deng Ai made a prompt decision and immediately led the Yueqi battalion to attack the Xiongnu camp.
At this moment, Liu Yue was devoting all his strength to launch an attack on Xiliulin.
Because the Wei army set up multiple defensive positions outside Xiliulin, the Xiongnu cavalry attacks were frequently blocked, which delayed a lot of time and cost a lot of casualties, which made Liu Yue very angry.
In his opinion, cavalry should attack infantry as if they were crushing them. Now that the Huns cavalry attacked with all their strength, they were unable to break through the Wei army's outer defense line in half a day, and also lost many men and horses. This battle was too useless.
Alright.
It seems that since the Huns moved south to Bingzhou, they have lived a comfortable life for too long and have lost the bloody spirit of their ancestors. Think of the time when the Huns roamed across the desert grasslands and dominated the Gobi beyond the Great Wall. Such a majestic appearance was
Such majesty, in the eyes of the Huns cavalry, the Han infantry are just like ants, they can be eliminated with a snap of the fingers.
But now the Huns have not fought for many years. This time they raised their troops to rebel. Although almost all the young men joined the rebellion, in terms of combat power, it was far from the Huns' cavalry back then. Although they could barely
They defeated the Hedong County soldiers who came to conquer them, but when they encountered a real rival, they were completely defeated.
The Battle of Pingyang felt like a blow to the originally complacent Liu Yue. The Huns collapsed in that battle and lost in disgrace. Even after Liu Yue escaped back to his base camp, he did not dare to do so even though he had the right time, place and people.
There was another head-on confrontation with the Wei cavalry, but they were hiding in the ravines and running around.
This attack on Xiliulin was also based on the Wei army's division of infantry and cavalry. After the cavalry and infantry teams that he was most afraid of were separated by hundreds of miles, he made a bold move and rushed out in full force, as if to achieve something.
However, the Wei army's infantry had carefully prepared defensive measures in advance, which stalled the Huns' cavalry attack. Whether it was Brodong attacking from the south or Mengdu attacking from the north, they were all constrained by the Wei army's defensive positions and it was difficult to form a formation.
breakthrough.
However, encouraging news came from Brodong in the south. Brodong used Han slaves to fill the holes, and finally broke through the last line of defense of the Wei army and invaded Xiliu Forest.
Liu Yue was also greatly excited by this news. Although Brodhon's methods were not very "humane", in the eyes of the Huns, Han slaves were not considered human beings at all. In order to win this battle, no one else
Even if it means hundreds of Han people's lives, it's still worth it even if it means hundreds of Huns' lives.
Liu Yue didn't care about this at all. As long as he won, he could use any means. At the same time, Liu Yue also gave Mengdu an order so that he could not control it. He broke through the Wei army's defense as quickly as possible and formed an encirclement with Brodong against the Wei army's infantry.
There are not many slaves on Suodu's side, but Brodon's relatively mature experience still makes Suodu's eyes shine. Although he lacks slaves, he does not lack cattle and sheep. If he drives a group of cattle to the battlefield to fill trenches,
If so, the effect must be better than that of humans.
After making up his mind, Suodu immediately asked his men to bring hundreds of cows over. After a whipping, those cows that usually seemed docile and peaceful became violent and started running happily with all four hooves.
, actually no less than mules and horses.
The archers of the Wei army who were guarding behind the earthen ramparts saw that the Huns were herding cattle to attack, and quickly fired arrows to stop them.
But these running cows have rough skin and thick flesh. Although ordinary bows and arrows can hurt them, they cannot cause fatal injuries. After being hit by the arrow, the cows become even more manic and rush forward desperately, even if there is a trench in front of them.
, and cannot stop their determination to move forward.
So these cows were like crazy, jumping into the trench one after another, and the situation was completely out of control.
The body of a cow is much larger than a human being. Brodon quickly filled up the trench in the south with the flesh and blood of hundreds of people. It can be seen that the trench is not too big in terms of width and depth. Several hundred cows are like moths flying into a flame.
, the trench was quickly filled.
The galloping cattle from behind directly trampled the bodies of the cattle that had fallen into the pit, and rushed towards the Wei army's position at high speed, bumping into and trampling on anyone they saw, so that the Wei army soldiers could only dodge.
Suodu took advantage of the situation and led his cavalry to sneak in behind the cattle and directly attacked the Wei army's camp.
Du Yu did not use the same spear formation as Yang Hu, but led his army to retreat. Relying on the terrain of Xiliulin and the fortifications they had set up previously, they retreated and resisted step by step.
The terrain of the position in the north of Xiliulin is relatively more complex than that in the south, and the terrain is also higher. Du Yu made full use of the geographical conditions to block the Huns' attack and effectively kill the Huns' cavalry.
