My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 284 The Originator of Blitzkrieg

The front of the army stretched out, and countless horse hooves crossed from the eastern grassland to the central grassland, like a rushing river. When the sun first rose, they headed towards the royal court of the Zhizhu tribe in the north of the central grassland to kill them.

The first to receive the news was the Upo tribe, which was located five hundred miles east of the King's Court of Corpses. Upo immediately summoned six thousand warriors from the tribe, braved the winter snow that had not yet melted, and rushed to the east pasture to make a blocking attack. attitude.

The young general leading the Yan State cavalry rushed over without saying a word, and led the Yu Lin cavalry behind him to kill them directly.

"The people of Yan despise me?"

Wu Po was wearing an animal skin and a leather helmet, with his fox tail hanging down from his shoulders swaying. After listening to the news from the scouts in front, he frowned. As a leader, he has his own courage. He was named by the Khan of Corpse Zhuxie. The next president of the Metropolitan Government.

At this time, another scout came back from the front and stopped seven or eight steps away from him.

The scout got off his horse and ran up quickly: "Chief, the Yan cavalry did come towards us, and... they even divided their troops."

The number of the opponent's cavalry was ascertained by scouts when Wu Poda led his troops. Not counting the horses, there were nine thousand. At this moment, many of the troops seemed to look down upon him.

"Are you going to charge half of my [-] cavalry?" Wu Poda frowned. He pulled out the scimitar from his waist, urged his horse to rush to the front of the army, and issued an order as he walked: "Send the order, divide into two groups, and swim. Shoot them."

Even when a lion fights a rabbit, he needs all his strength.

Regardless of whether the opponent sent out a force to bypass them, he would first annihilate all the [-] Yan cavalry who dared to attack them. As for the humiliation, he didn't care.

The horn sounding to convey the order was blown, and the tribe of 6000 people gradually separated, forming two groups and running towards the front.

Opposite them, the iron cavalry stepping on the grass and snow pushed forward like a sea wave.

Rumbling--

The sound of horse hooves was galloping across the snow-covered grassland, and the galloping figures moved like thunder. Huo Qubing at the front narrowed his eyes and looked at the Xirong scouts wandering in the distance, and grinned.

"Haha... six thousand cavalry, with so little, who are you looking down on!"

While running, he pulled out the Han Sword from his waist and raised it above his head against the cold wind.

"Command the whole army, don't be timid, follow me, this is not our end!"

The cavalry behind them are all Lu Bu's string-controlling wolf cavalry. Three thousand of them are skilled veterans on the battlefield. They have experienced fighting in the plains and siege battles. The Xirong people on the opposite side also followed Huo Qubing and fought into the eastern Xieyu Department. In the royal court, their hands were stained with the blood of the barbarians. When they heard the words coming from the front, many people showed eagerness in their eyes.

And what he said to King Xia in Shangwu Hall that day.

In the future, they can come to the grassland whenever they want, and there will be a pasture for them here, so that future generations will have no worries about food and clothing!

At the front of the surging array, Lu Bu suppressed the restlessness in his heart and dragged his halberd upside down on the ground. Hearing the words of the champion, he grinned and showed his white teeth.

"...There are only six thousand riders, which is indeed too few. They should have more in the royal court."

As he was thinking about this, Lu Bu suddenly burst into laughter and pinched the horse's belly. Amidst the flying red clouds and the horse's neighing, he turned back to look at the energetic string-controlling wolf rider and yelled: "Everyone rush over with a certain family and trample them to death." them!"

"kill!"

On the ground, a total of [-] cavalrymen let out loud shouts. Huo Qubing and Lu Bu rushed to the forefront, with hundreds of soldiers guarding them. They ran over in the planned direction. Amidst the roar of huge horse hooves, scattered nearby The scouts are catching each other and fighting each other more and more intensively.

However, the victory or defeat among the scouts will not determine the outcome of the upcoming war.

Another half mile later, the armies of both sides had entered their respective fields of vision, and a dark line had spread. When they quickly closed the distance, neither side had any intention of slowing down.

Since Lu Bu broke through the state of mind, his eyesight was even more terrifying than before. The falcon's eyes quickly locked on the Xirong cavalry rushing towards the opposite side. He hung his halberd and turned his bow, and directly nocked three feather arrows on the bumpy horseback.

——Shoot the halberd at the gate!
Swish swish!
Three feathered arrows shot out quickly with a strong sound of breaking through the air. Two miles apart, several charging Xirong cavalry fell off their horses one after another, or were hung under their horses and dragged along the grass.

The distance between the two sides is less than one mile.

The Han sword held high by Huo Qubing suddenly pressed down: "Peel through them!"

——Seal the wolf and live in Xu!
The moment the secret technique was activated, the loosely running wolf riders quickly gathered behind Huo Qubing after the first round of arrows were thrown. The people and the horses became excited for an instant, and accelerated their speed again, dodging the arrows thrown by the opponent. ,

Locusts fly across the sky with arrows.

They all retracted their bows and grabbed the repeating crossbows on their backs. They also had too much experience in close combat between cavalry and cavalry. With such a terrifying cavalry commander like Lu Bu, it was difficult to imagine, but the enemy in front of them was nothing but They were just a group of dolls in ragged clothes, waving sticks, and riding wooden horses.

The Xirong tribe cavalry on the opposite side who originally launched a guerrilla fire fired the first wave of arrows without much effect, so Wupoda prepared to divert them to avoid the charge of the Yan cavalry.

However, the opponent did not give him any chance, and his speed even increased sharply. He gestured wildly, asking the soldiers around him to blow the horns, and kept urging the warriors under his command: "Spread left and right, avoid the path of their charge." The next second, Wu Poda, who was in the Xirong cavalry formation and followed the running wildly, his eyelids twitching wildly: "They are..."

In the field of vision, the Yan State cavalry, which was originally charging straight, turned to the left and right, each turned an arc, divided their forces again, and turned into two queues of more than [-] people, heading towards the Xirong cavalry who also separated and shot.

Large areas of soil swirled and splashed under the iron hooves.

The moment the cavalry on the left and right came into contact and crossed each other, the string-controlling wolf rider raised his crossbow and aimed it at the Xirong people swimming in groups on the opposite side. A cold light spread out in his hand, which was the crossbow arrow reflecting the skylight.

Among the wolf riders, the voice of a captain shouted with all his strength: "Shoot!"

When the first string sound sounded in the person's hand, the sound of the crossbow strings vibrating was followed by a large sound.

Bang...bang bang bang——

There was a dense pavement of crossbow arrows, shooting out one after another.

A large amount of blood spattered, crossbow arrows penetrated people's bodies, or were nailed to the bodies of galloping horses, and people and horses fell down in droves.

sigh -

Wupoda tightened the reins and stopped. He watched the Qingqi under his command fall down in the field of vision. He opened his mouth slightly and could not make any sound. He turned his head and looked at the hundreds of soldiers following him. His mind could not react for a while. Yan When did the country's crossbows become so terrifying?

"Leader, let's go!"

A soldier suddenly shouted, waking him up. Following the direction that the other party was pointing, a fiery red figure, riding a red horse, was particularly eye-catching on the snow. The other party was extremely fast and rushed towards him in a straight line. come over.

The scarlet cloak fluttered.

The war horse stepped into the grass, swirling up the mud and snow. Lu Bu raised his halberd on the horse and led more than a dozen horsemen to charge forward, following the hundreds of horsemen guarding the opposite side.

"Ahhh!"

Wu Poda let out an angry roar and brandished his blade. He watched the Yan generals rushing towards him, splitting several personal guards, and the weapons and horses of the opponent were magnified infinitely in his sight.

He suddenly jumped on his horse, knelt on the ground without hesitation, picked up the weapon and raised it above his head.

Lu Bull stopped his horse and looked at the Xirong people begging for surrender. He narrowed his eyes and was about to raise his halberd to kill the enemy directly. Huo Qubing galloped over behind him and said, "Don't stop."

After saying that, Huo Qubing looked at Wu Poda and used simple and clear gestures to tell him to stop his people and lead the way!
Just like when he penetrated the Hexi Corridor before, he only killed those who resisted and blocked, and followed those who surrendered. He did not stop and his horse did not unsaddle and galloped all the way to the next target.

Lu Bu naturally understood his intention to fight. He put away his halberd and glared at Wu Po Da. The latter nodded repeatedly and hurriedly mounted his horse. He summoned the scattered soldiers and asked them to blow their horns and kill the remaining 3000 soldiers. The cavalry assembled and led the way.

Along the way, people did not stop, and horses did not unsaddle. They traveled from east to west and pounced on the next tribe. If the opponent's soldiers and horses gathered, they pounced directly to kill the opponent, and then set off to the next target.

Extremely fast, faster than deserters and sentinel scouts!
It's so fast that the Xirong tribe can't react!

It’s so fast that many tribal leaders have no time to deploy!
They were almost there before the Xirong cavalry had time to resist!
It was so fast that as soon as they made contact, they were hit with lightning speed and were beaten to the point of losing their armor!

They advanced six hundred miles to the west in one day, with the Xianxian Wolf Cavalry as the main attack, and Baima Yi as reinforcement from the outside. They alternately defeated and defeated the eleven tribes of Shizhuxie Khan on the east side of the central grassland.

No rest, no adjustments, almost flat push all the way!Using tactics that Xirong had never seen before, he swept across the entire eastern grassland.

At this time, Xi Zhuxie was mobilizing tribal warriors around the royal court, and was deploying against the Yan army coming from the south.Messages from the east were delivered immediately.

A troop of Yan cavalry came towards us in a devastating situation. All the tribes that resisted were defeated on the way. After hearing this news, Xi Zhuxie, who had just celebrated his 47th birthday, sat on his chair for a long time and did not return. Come to your senses.

Until his son Xi Zhuquan reminded him, "Father Khan, this cavalry may be the one that attacked the tribe before. Be careful of them!"

If the Yan army in the south took advantage of the cold winter and relied on night attacks to continuously capture and advance tribes one by one, then the cavalry in the east almost swept through the entire east side like thunder.

"...Immediately send an envoy to the west, and ask Guiba Khan to provide immediate reinforcements." Xi Zhuxie's eyes moved, and he glanced at the tribal nobles, chief ministers, and several sons below who were looking at each other in disbelief.

He stood up slowly, his eyes turned red, and roared at them: "Tighten your defenses, don't divide your troops, let the warriors of the tribe fight with them in the royal court for the final battle, and wait for reinforcements to arrive!"

"Father Khan, we don't have the Yan people's city to rely on!"

Xi Zhuquan hurried forward, half-knelt down, and put his fist on his shoulder: "It's better to surrender, we can still save the lives of the people of the tribe."
