Chapter 1038: Success in the East and Success in the West (Thirty-One)
He Weiyuan looked at the armored cavalry advancing slowly in the distance in front of him, feeling a little nervous. For him, the starting point was quite high. After joining the Young Guards, it didn't take long for him to be directly transferred to Gao Yuan's side as his personal bodyguard. Guards, over the past two years, as the older guards have entered the army and become officers, he has gradually become the commander of the guards around Gao Yuan. This is the position that Shangguan Hong once held. And now Shangguan Hong is Commander of the Young Guards.
By Gao Yuan's side, he can learn things that are extremely difficult for ordinary people to learn, such as the specific process and analysis of each battle. After the generals return, they will report to Gao Yuan, and during this process, He Weiyuan can He heard a series of practical experiences of these generals on the battle command process and on-the-spot response. After the establishment of the staff office of the Ministry of War, he followed Gao Yuan into this confidential location countless times and watched the staff members plan. The process of each battle gave him theoretical knowledge that ordinary people could not compare with in novels.
Now, it is the first time that he leads an army alone. Gao Yuan spares no effort to cultivate the people around him. He Weiyuan is He Dayou's nephew, and his loyalty is unquestionable. He has learned a lot of knowledge from Gao Yuan's side, and now he is anxious What is needed is practice, and Gao Yuan chose to lead the troops this time. He dealt with the armored cavalry, which was powerful but had equally obvious shortcomings. He annihilated the opponent and the credit was great. Compared with other arms, this shortcoming was obvious. The team is obviously easier to deal with.
Taking a deep breath, He Weiyuan looked back at the soldiers behind him, "Brothers, are you ready for everything?"
"Ready!" There were bursts of laughter from behind. These people were all veterans. They no longer had any fear of the battle formation. That man didn't have a few scars on his body? But their leader was still an amateur.
"Come on, let us make these iron shells!" Lin Weiyuan roared loudly, and with a choking sound he pulled out the saber from his waist, "Attack!"
Two thousand cavalry shouted and rushed out. The shouts of killing shook the sky.
The armored cavalry on the opposite side were not afraid. This kind of hedging battle was their strength. With dull shouts, they slowly moved their horses and trotted forward.
The Han army ran to a few dozen steps away from the armored cavalry. With a loud bang, it was like something rushing into a hornet's nest. They suddenly scattered in all directions, turned in an instant, and scattered towards the two wings of the armored cavalry. As they dispersed, a The hammers were thrown out with the sound of wind. These chain hammers hit the legs of these war horses.
People can wear armor, and horses can also wear armor, but the horse's legs are the most vulnerable at the moment. If the chain hammer hits the horse's leg, the horse's leg will be fractured, and the heavy war horse will fall to the ground. The knight himself will not end well. If he falls off his horse, it will be extremely difficult to get up.
Amidst the rumbles, dozens of armored cavalry fell to the ground. The Han army did not gain much benefit from this round of attacks. The moment the two sides passed each other, the javelins in the hands of the armored cavalry were like raindrops. The ground shot out, and hundreds of Han troops fell off their horses. Comparing the two, the Qin army had the advantage.
But then, the armored cavalry had a hard time. It was difficult for them to turn, but after the Han army moved to their side and rear, they easily turned the corner, took off the second chain hammer from the saddle, and swung it again However, this time the attack was on the hind legs of the armored cavalry, and dozens of armored cavalry fell off their horses. This time, the Han army was not injured at all.
He Weiyuan waved the noose in his hand, chased after him from the side and behind, flew out the noose with a swipe, and accurately put it around the neck of an armored cavalryman. He tightened his wrist and reined in his horse at the same time. The war horse neighed and came to an emergency stop with all four hooves on the ground. The armored cavalry in front was pulled backwards and flew out. The war horse under his crotch was still running forward, unaware that the knight on his back had been caught by his opponent. go.
He Weiyuan stepped forward on his horse, the knife in his hand fell in the air, and accurately struck the neck of the armored cavalryman who fell from the horse. This is the connection point between the helmet and the body armor, which is the most fragile. There was a snapping sound, and the leather armor connecting the two places It was cut off easily, and blood gushed out. With a bang, the cavalryman fell to the ground, twisted a few times, and ended there.
This kind of noose was learned by He Weiyuan from the Huns hunters in the village when he was still at home. Over the years, he never gave up. Seeing the commander capture an armored cavalry in the air, the Han army cheered loudly.
"Brothers, these iron shells are similar to tortoises. Tortoises can only walk sideways, and they can only walk straight!" He Weiyuan laughed loudly as the rope in his hand whirred on his head.
"That's well said, Commander!" The Han troops laughed loudly. These armored cavalry advanced in a row. It was extremely difficult to turn around, so they could only advance forward. Usually, the left and right sides of such troops There should be light cavalry covering both sides, but today Danyu brought all the light cavalry to chase Gu Li and others. The armored cavalry could only advance slowly from the rear. I thought that there would be no more invincible cavalry on the grassland, and the armored cavalry would not encounter them. Even a small group of herdsmen had no way to deal with their opponents, but little did they know that they were encountering extremely elite battlefield veterans.
The armored cavalry turned around as hard as they could on their horses and threw the javelins in their hands. However, by throwing sideways like this, not only the strength was affected, but the preparation was even more terrible. The Han cavalry who were widely scattered easily dodged a spear. Throw out the javelins one by one, even if they can't hit the horse's legs. Those chain hammers with long iron chains are thrown out, and the chains are wrapped around the horse's legs. After the war horse runs for a certain distance, it is extremely It is easy to trip yourself up.
The two Han soldiers sped up and ran fifty steps behind the armored cavalry. With a shout, they both turned back at the same time and threw out their spears. Amidst the clanging sound, the spears sank more than half a foot into the ground, but the armored cavalry didn't pay attention. What we saw was that between the two javelins, a section of shiny iron wire lay across them. Once the javelins entered the ground, the iron wire disappeared into the grass.
The two men threw away the spears in their hands, separated them left and right, and ran away. It was not until this moment that the javelins thrown by the armored cavalry behind them roared towards them.
The armored cavalry moved forward, and the horse tripped on the wire hidden in the grass without any accident, and the horse suddenly fell over.
The armored cavalry were miserable and were slowly being killed by He Weiyuan along the way. They could not disperse, let alone dare to disperse. Once dispersed, they would really become prey on their opponent's felt board.
The armored cavalry was being brutally killed by He Weiyuan, and on the main battlefield, the pattern of rain was already extremely bad. The three armies of Aguhuaien, Gaoche, and Mugulu were attacking from three sides. They already had an advantage in numbers, regardless of In terms of horses, equipment, and horse fighting skills, the Donghu cavalry were far superior to the Qin cavalry. The Qin army could only rely on their team combat strength. Although they struggled to support it, they were still divided by the Donghu cavalry. Come, gather together and annihilate them. On the battlefield, arrows are flying everywhere. The Donghu cavalry screams strangely and waves the scimitars in their hands, ruthlessly harvesting the lives of the Qin army.
"Yanzi, aren't your hands itchy?" Gao Yuan asked with a smile, looking at He Lanyan who had been holding the bridle of his horse Zidian tightly.
"It's Itchy!" He Lanyan nodded involuntarily, "Since I gave birth to Mingzhi, I haven't been on the battlefield." She looked at the battlefield eagerly, and her other hand involuntarily touched the handle of the scimitar.
"Otherwise, let's go and fight for a while!" Gao Yuan encouraged.
"No way, before we leave, Sister Jing'er specially told me." He Lanyan suddenly woke up and snorted: "Let me keep an eye on you and not allow you to go to the battlefield and charge personally."
"So you are so afraid of Jing'er!" Gao Yuan laughed, "I thought you were fearless!"
"I'm not afraid of her!" He Lanyan was really excited all of a sudden.
"If you are not afraid, why do you listen to her so much?" Gao Yuan snorted coldly: "You don't even dare to go to the battlefield. You are still the instructor of my Han cavalry. I think your skills are no longer as good as after giving birth to Mingzhi." It used to be, now you have gained a lot of weight, can you still wield a knife?"
"Who has gained weight?" He Lanyan was annoyed, "Who can no longer wield a sword?" She choked and pulled out the sword in her hand, and with the other hand she took out the long whip from her waist, "Do you dare to compete with me? Who can kill more Qin troops?"
"Compete!" Gao Yuan laughed loudly, exerted a little force with his legs, and the purple lightning under his crotch hissed, and rushed out like lightning. He Lanyan finally woke up when he saw Gao Yuan running away with the Mo Dao.
"You lied to me!" she shouted, and rushed over on horseback. Sula and Wula behind her also hurriedly caught up. As soon as they left, Agu Huaien's soldiers beside them also rushed out and said To be honest, they couldn't hold it back for a long time. For a soldier, the most uncomfortable thing is to watch his comrades kill the enemy, while his own skills can only be watched from the side. They are eager to step onto the battlefield to gain military exploits!
Gao Yuan excitedly waved the Mo Dao and rushed into the battlefield. It had been a long time since he had this hearty feeling. He was about to reach the pinnacle of his life. The days when he was riding a sword and running across the battlefield would probably Getting further and further away from myself.
The two sides were strangled on a battlefield with a radius of more than ten miles, but Yu looked at the criss-crossed battlefield. The space for the activities of the black-clad Qin army, which represented the Qin army, was getting smaller and smaller. The opponents' cavalry were coming and going in the periphery. He was very worried. It was clear that he could not win this battle.
"Retreat, order all troops to disperse and break out, move closer to the general's base camp, and push out as much as possible!" He ordered sternly: "I will take the rear!"
The retreat horn sounded, and the Qin army began to break out. The battle turned from a confrontation to a chase, and the Qin army's retreat was destined to be a painful process. Behind them, the Huns herdsmen regrouped They are waiting for them to fight against the formed Qin army. They are no match, but in this kind of pursuit battle, their advantages in riding and shooting are fully displayed. (To be continued...)
