Chapter 268: The Battle of Lindi River Mouth (5)
"Ziliang."
With a greeting, Li Ying led Peng Chou, Hu Feng, Hu Fen and nearly a thousand soldiers who were trapped in the formation, and after the last team of Gaolang people, he also retreated to Hekou area and met with Li He and others.
Perhaps seeing that Wu Heng and others had more or less arrows inserted into their armor, Li Ying asked incredible, "What's going on?"
"I fought with the Linhu cavalry." Wu Heng replied concisely.
Li Ying suddenly realized and asked again: "How are the casualties?"
Wu Heng's eyes flashed, and he said inexplicably: "Two brothers were sacrificed... maybe three."
“…”
Li Ying was slightly shocked when he heard this, and his expression was stagnant.
After all, it is very rare for the Shaoliang Rival to suffer casualties. Except for the Battle of Dongliang three years ago and the subsequent surprise attack on the capital of Qin, Liyang, there have been almost no examples of the Shaoliang Rival to be killed. I didn't expect that two of them would die in battle today.
This made Li Ying, Peng Chou, Hu Feng and others feel heavy. After all, they were also from Shao Liang Qibing.
"Not to talk about this for now."
Li He shook his head and ended the heavy topic at present, and blinked to the foreign cavalry who were suspected of the Huns, asking, "Are those people the Huns?"
"It should be."
Li Ying shrugged and explained why the Huns followed them far away but did not attack: "When Gaolang's people evacuated, these Huns did not take us seriously at all. They wanted to take the opportunity to rob women. Peng Chou and Foxes each led 200 soldiers to kill for a while, killing hundreds of people, which scared them to escape quickly... Then these people followed us far away like this, shooting two arrows from time to time, and I was too lazy to pay attention to them."
Li He nodded slightly.
He dared to ignore the soldiers who were trapped in the formation. He could only say that the Huns had little knowledge. You should know that the soldiers who had a scale of 1,000 people had gradually gained the style of heavy armored infantry battalions. Even the same number of Wei Wushou could not gain the upper hand in the soldiers who were trapped in the formation, let alone those foreign cavalry with thin armor?
Of course, the soldiers who have trapped the formation also have exactly the same weakness as those of the Wei Wushu: their feet are short, and in layman's terms, they are bulky and cannot catch up with the flexible cavalry.
He ordered the soldiers who were trapped in the formation to join forces with the five hundred cavalry and Liang's soldiers to regroup the defense line to cover the last wave of Gaolang people's retreat. Li He took the time to say to Li Ying: "I intend to form a heavy armored cavalry. Give me Peng Chou and Fox, and give me another five hundred soldiers."
Li Ying opened his eyes wide and said dissatisfiedly: "Change people from my camp? Do you still need Peng Chou and Fox?"
There were only one thousand people in his camp, and Peng Chou and Hu Feng were the only two powerful generals under his command. When these people were transferred, the offensive power of his camp soldiers was greatly weakened.
"I decided to name the newly formed heavy armored cavalry camp and temporarily join the trap camp. Is this OK?" Li He glanced at Li Ying.
"Then there is no problem." Li Ying raised his eyebrows and said.
As Li He's confidant, he heard Li He mention the heavy armored cavalry long before he came to Shangjun. He knew that the heavy armored cavalry had better off than the trap camp, so he naturally would not refuse Li He to change the trapped soldiers under his command to the trapped camp.
At this time, Pilo, the leader of the Hu people who were supervising the battle on the main battlefield, also noticed the nearly thousand-strong Hu soldiers who were defeated by Li He and Shaoliang's strange soldiers. When he saw that the Gaolang people in the direction of the river were still crossing the river, he cursed angrily: "What are Wuhun doing? Why didn't he kill the fleeing Xia people?"
The cavalry of the Yizhan tribe brought Pilo's questioning to the warrior Lin Hu named Wuhun, and then brought the latter's explanation: "...Wuhun said that the Xia people also had a group of cavalry. These despicable Xia people's cavalry all brought the crossbows from the Central Plains, causing huge casualties to the soldiers of his tribe. In addition, among those people, there was a Xia general as powerful as a monster, who killed more than a dozen soldiers alone..."
Pilo snorted coldly and said expressionlessly: "Tell Wuhun, if the soldiers of his Wu tribe cannot even deal with cavalry like the Xia people who are not as good as children on the grassland, then there is no need for his Wu tribe to divide the food and women that he plundered from the Xia people."
"yes!"
The Yizhan cavalry nodded and brought Pilo's original words to Wuhun, the leader and warrior of the U tribe.
After hearing this, Wu Hun was so angry that he cursed in his heart: "Damn Pilo!"
But no matter how much he scolded, he could only obey Pilo's orders. After all, his Wu tribe is not as powerful as the Yizhan tribe, and even the Yizhan tribe of Pilo was not as good as Pilo's Yizhanzi tribe.
Furthermore, he was scared away by the Xia general and the five hundred Xia people's surprise soldiers before, and after calming down, he felt very ashamed.
So he led nearly a thousand Hu cavalry and killed them again.
Unfortunately, when he led his men to the area where Li He was located, a thousand soldiers who had already replaced the Shaoliang soldiers and built a defense line. Five hundred cavalrymen of Shaoliang soldiers were behind the positions of the Shanzhen soldiers.
Now it's troublesome.
Although Wu Hun actually despised the Xia people, he also knew that the Xia people's infantry was still very powerful. At this moment, on the front battlefield, the 30,000 to 40,000 Hu Nu who was personally supervising the battle has not yet defeated the positions of Wei and Zhao armies, which are only about 20,000, even if there were 30,000 Lin and Hu cavalry from the side constantly harassed the Xia people's army.
Just when Wuhun was worried, some of his soldiers noticed the Hun cavalry in the distance and said to Wuhun: "Chief, the Hun."
“Hmm?”
Wu Hun turned his head and looked at him. Sure enough, he saw about three thousand Hun cavalrymen. He snorted disdainfully and cursed: "These wolves."
It has to be said that the Huns did play a role like jackals on the grassland. Although their tribes were far less powerful than Lin Hu, whenever Talin Hu and Lou Fan had a war, these wolves-like Huns would take the opportunity to steal Talin Hu's flock and women. If Lin Hu was respectful and fearful to Lou Fan, then he would be purely disdainful of the Huns - if the other party had not surrendered to Lou Fan, Talin Hu would have killed all these damn wolves long ago.
"There are no bones here for you to chew..."
Wu Hun sneered and mocked the Huns in the distance, and then turned his attention to the Gaolang people who were evacuating to the other side.
Given that Pilo had previously issued an order to them to "kill all the Gaolang Zhao people to shock the Xia army", Wuhun could not hold back as the Gaolang people were about to retreat to the other side.
He knew that if he did nothing and allowed the Zhao civilians to leave, Pilo would definitely punish him severely afterwards, and even would not allow him to share food and women with the Ukrainian tribe.
Considering that each tribe is currently short of food, I am afraid that no other tribes will risk offending Pilo and Yizhan tribes to plead for his Uk tribe. Wuhun struggled repeatedly, and finally gritted his teeth and issued an order to attack: "Soldiers of my Uk tribe, kill me!"
"Aowu--"
The cavalry of nearly Qianwu tribe shouted like a wolf howling, and waved the machete to attack the soldiers who were trapped by Li Ying.
"Good!"
Li Ying sneered and waved his hand and ordered: "Scatter the formation and fight for each other, let the surprise soldiers see how my formation soldiers defended the enemy!"
Hearing his words, Han Yan, Wu Heng and several other 500 generals all looked at Li Ying with strange expressions. Hou Yun scratched his face and muttered in a low voice: "Li Ying... He forgot that he was also my surprise soldier?"
Of course, Li Ying did not forget that he was also a surprise soldier. This was just a trick he used to inspire the soldiers of the formation. After all, the camp and the camp were a pair of "competitors" deliberately arranged by Li He and Li Ying. If he could defeat an enemy that even the surprise soldier could not deal with, wouldn't it prove that the soldiers of the formation were Shao Liang's first elite?
Just after Li Ying's words, a thousand soldiers of the formation aroused great enthusiasm. They were dispersed half a meter away from each other, holding their left hand in front of them, and holding their spears in their right hand to the ground, forming a strange enemy-defying formation.
Seeing this, Wu Hun suddenly felt his eyes lit up.
He said in surprise: "Ahhh! The stupid Xia people actually set up such a loose formation. Warriors, kill them! Kill all these Xia people!"
Just as the soldiers of the Ukrainian tribe shouted and rushed towards the soldiers in the battle, the Hun cavalry in the distance sneered: "These Hu people underestimated this Xia army and were going to be unlucky..."
Why are they so sure?
Because they had learned a lesson from the hands of the trapped soldiers, hundreds of soldiers were killed.
However, the soldiers of the Uk tribe did not know the truth, and they still rushed towards the loose formation of the formation soldiers.
"Du——"
"Tu tuk--"
Scattered arrows shot on the shield in the hands of the conquering soldiers, and the conquering soldiers were unmoved.
Seeing that the bow shooting was useless, the cavalry of the Ukrainian tribe abandoned the bow and took the sword, and rushed straight towards the soldiers of the army.
Seeing that these Lin Hu cavalry were about to rush to the front, the front row of soldiers suddenly started attacking, and squatted down, swinging the long spear in their hands towards the horse hoofs of the opposite cavalry.
He heard a wail of war horses. The Lin Hu cavalry who was rushing to the front was blown away, or hit the shield of the rear sank soldiers, and then fell to the ground. Then the life of the rear sank soldiers holding sharp swords was ended.
"interesting……"
Han Yan, Wu Heng and other 500 generals showed surprise and praise on their faces. They had wanted to help the soldiers who had trapped the formation before, but now it seems that they do have a way to deal with cavalry, and they don't need to take action at all.
"What?!"
Seeing that the tribe members in front of him were in such a way, the Lin Hu cavalry behind him hurriedly tied the reins.
At the same time, the trapped soldiers on both wings were surrounded towards the center. Among them, the trapped soldiers holding long spears were aiming at the horse's hooves, while the trapped soldiers holding sharp swords were specifically killing the enemy. The two groups of people cooperated with each other, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of Lin Hu cavalrymen were killed, making the young Liang Qishang who were watching the battle all had strange expressions.
You must know that they have sacrificed their lives and sacrificed their two brothers, and only killed dozens of people.
"It's not a loss, he's a siege..."
Wu Heng showed a look of approval on his face.
Xia Yangjun of Wei State believed that his Shaoliang soldiers and Wei Wuzhang cooperated with each other, which was the strongest in the world, but in fact, these soldiers who fell into battle were the existences that his Shaoliang soldiers regarded as "competing enemies".
"Don't let these guys steal the limelight from my surprise, brothers!"
With the 500 general Hou Yun shouting, the five hundred cavalry and Liang Qi also pressed over and tried to surround the soldiers of the Uk tribe.
Seeing that the battle situation was taking a sharp turn, Wuhun was simply unbelievable. He had obviously overestimated these Xia infantrymen, but who would have thought that these Xia infantrymen were stronger than he thought.
At this moment, someone suddenly exclaimed: "Chief, be careful!"
"What?"
Wu Hun subconsciously turned his head to look, and then he was shocked to see that the powerful Xia general as powerful as a monster had already rushed to a place only ten feet away from him.
"puff--"
A distance of only ten feet apart is just a matter of breathing for a galloping war horse. I saw that Wuhun had just taken out his knife and was chopped at the base of his neck by Li He with a sword, diagonally splitting from his collarbone to his waist and abdomen.
Blood gushed, dyeing Li He's armor bright red. Wu Hun looked at Li He in a daze, and then the upper half of his body fell to the ground, leaving only the lower half of his body on the horse's back.
This scene seemed to frighten the war horses under the crotch of Lin Hu cavalry around him, and he neighed his horse's hooves and stepped around.
The Lin Hu cavalry spent a lot of effort to appease the war horses, and then they looked at Li He, who was covered in red in fear, and did not dare to move forward.
"kill!"
With Li He's order, a thousand soldiers and five hundred cavalrymen and Liang Qizhan encircled and killed nearly a thousand cavalry Hu cavalry. The latter was crying and howling, and the heads fell to the ground one after another.
