Fufeng Song

Chapter 32 Battle of Banqiao

The cavalry on both sides were completely wedged together at this time, and there was no room for Lu Yao to stop, and two Hun cavalry in front of them swung their maces and long-handled axes respectively.

The spear in Lu Yao's palm protruded to the right, and the tip of the spear made of Jinggang collided with the mace, making a loud "clang".The barbarian made a muffled grunt, and the mace flew into the air.Lu Yao borrowed the force of the impact of the weapon to sweep across with his spear, and his momentum became even faster, so that the ax and barbarian was immediately knocked off his horse no matter how much he could resist.The barbarian who had let go of the mace had already passed by by mistake. Lu Yao leaned back and shot him back, knocking him over as well.

Attacking together with Lu Yao were 150 elite cavalrymen personally selected by Liu Kun, including 12 cavalrymen directly under Liu Kun; ten subordinates led by Lu Yao, Xue Tong and Shen Jin; The sturdy scout cavalry; even Liu Kun's personal generals Lin Jian, Wang Xiu and other [-] people.

These people are all warriors who are proficient in martial arts, brave and good at fighting, and their equipment is extremely sophisticated.This cavalry is all armored riding equipment. Not only do everyone wear double sleeve armor, but even the horses wear iron armor. Face curtains, chicken necks, dang chests, etc. are all available.

Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of the former Dynasty, once said in his "Military Policy Order": "In the beginning, there were three hundred horse armors, but I can't have ten." There are only three hundred horse armors.It can be seen that horse armor is an important military weapon that has been highly valued in modern times.

Liu Kun entered Bingzhou on light horses. Although the entourage was small, they were carrying excellent weapons collected from the Luoyang arsenal.Under the use of elite fighters, these equipments immediately became a nightmare for the Huns cavalry. The 150 heavy cavalry were like a huge sharp axe, severing the Huns' lineup in two!

Relying on his almost inexhaustible physical strength and powerful explosive power, Lu Yao rushed forward like a dead man.At some point, he had rushed to the forefront and became the vanguard of the entire armored cavalry.Such bravery even made Ding Miao stare at him frequently.

Lu Yao people only cared about fighting.Strictly speaking, this was the first bloody battle on the battlefield that Lu Yao experienced after his soul awakened in his previous life. The previous few times were nothing more than street fighting.But just like the previous battles, Lu Yao didn't feel the slightest sense of tension. It seemed that a small office worker naturally had the blood of a soldier.

He took the lead, or stabbed with a long spear, or slashed with a shovel, and even drove a tall horse to knock the Huns to the ground, sweeping away all the enemies in front of him like a whirlwind.

After rushing for dozens of steps, Lu Yao only felt that the pressure was relieved in vain. It turned out that he had already passed through the enemy's formation.Reining in his horse and looking back, he saw that the Huns Qingqi had already been defeated.A piece of flesh and blood flew everywhere, and people turned on their backs.Broken limbs were scattered on the ground in all directions, and the ownerless war horse spun around in a panic.There were less than a hundred Hu people on horseback. They almost lost their fighting spirit and began to run around.

The 150 riders had almost no damage in the confrontation just now, and most of them could continue to fight.They reined in their horses slowly, crossed the slope in a large circle, and did not regroup until the far right of the Jin army's array, forming an orderly lineup again.

As soon as the Jin people's armored cavalry appeared, Liu Jing knew that his three hundred Qingqi were in great danger.The Jin people first used the unfavorable terrain to restrict their marching routes, and then used the hand-to-hand combat of the heavy cavalry to restrain their cavalry skills, and then considering the heavy cavalry's deliberate concealment and just the right time to attack, this was undoubtedly a careful plan trap.The development of the battle quickly confirmed his judgment. In a very short period of time, the cavalry that the Huns were proud of was defeated.

With the passage of time, Liu Jing's rough face became more and more gloomy, while the Huns' queue fell into a brief silence, and it seemed that many people could still hear the voices of gasping for air: This enemy army seems to be in harmony with Any Jin army in the past was different.

That's right, it's different; Liu Jing thought angrily.That is an enemy army equipped with armored horses!

This full set of armor made of fine steel is very rare, and the value of a set is even more than dozens of high-quality swords. The Bingzhou Army never has such luxurious cavalry equipment.The enemy army is not the Bingzhou army...they are probably the elite forbidden army of the Jin people!

As a noble official of the Huns, he has learned far more information than ordinary soldiers.He clearly understood that in the past few months, the battle situation of Da Shanyu in Hedong was not as smooth as the rumors.The Luoyang Forbidden Army, which has experienced countless times of cannibalism, still maintains a strong combat effectiveness, causing considerable losses to the Huns.At this time, if the people of Jin send a forbidden army to cross the mountains and approach Jinyang... what does this mean?Liu Jing knew better: Although there were many of his subordinates, most of them were Zhahu tribes who came in response to the call of the Great Shanyu.Is such a cobbled together army really worthy of a battle against the elite Imperial Army?In the midst of his thoughts, Liu Jing was already thinking about it.

"Despicable! Despicable!" Liu Jing suddenly roared angrily.He tore off the leather robe to reveal his muscular chest, and drew a machete with his backhand to cut a deep wound on his chest.Hot blood flowed, dyeing the bright blade bright red.

Liu Jing shouted loudly: "The descendants of the wolf! For hundreds of years, the Han people have framed the heroes on the grassland with intrigue and tricks, but we smashed them to pieces with bravery and blood! Today, those Jin people who are like sheep , the Jin people who were killed by Liu Yuanda Shanyu once again framed the warriors of the Huns with insidious tricks, what should we do?" The guards around him first responded and shouted: "Kill them all! Kill them all! Light them up!" Immediately, the incited soldiers shouted together: "Kill them all! Kill them all! Kill! Kill! Kill, kill, kill!"

Liu Jing waved his knife and pointed straight ahead: "Kill!" As soon as his voice fell, the surrounding soldiers suddenly roared, as if tens of thousands of beasts were howling.They rushed forward like a whirlwind, and rushed straight to the formation of the Jin army.Most of these soldiers were only wrapped in crude leather robes and held strange weapons. They were Xiren and Jieren warriors who came in response to the great Chanyu's prestige.Compared with the Huns who were gradually Sinicized, they were more backward, and therefore more bloodthirsty and barbaric.

What greeted these Hu soldiers was the strong crossbow of the Jin army.For hundreds of years, bows and crossbows have been the primary weapon used by the Han people to fight against the northern nomads.Chao Cuo, a famous minister in the former Han Dynasty, once listed five advantages of China compared to the Xiongnu. Among them, there is a saying that "if the officials have the same talent, but the same way, then the Xiongnu's leather wood recommends funengzhi".But at the moment when the Huns' army was attacking with terrifying momentum, the three hundred crossbowmen hidden behind the central army suddenly rushed forward and launched a long-prepared blow!

At the moment when these powerful crossbows were fired, the sound of the bowstring vibrating violently could be clearly heard even a hundred steps away, followed by the screaming sound of arrows piercing the wind.The arrows, one foot and two inches long, made of fine iron with sharp blades are as dense as raindrops, and often one arrow can pierce through the bodies of two people.Countless blood flowers bloomed at the same time, and more than a hundred people who rushed to the front were wiped out and suffered heavy casualties.

Liu Jing yelled again and again: "Rush forward! Don't panic!" The distance between the two sides is two hundred steps at this moment. If they sprint with all their strength, it will pass in a flash. Even if the crossbowmen use the method of stacking shots, they can only shoot three rounds of arrows at most!Encouraged by his shouting, the Hu warriors continued to sprint vigorously.

Seeing that they were only thirty paces away from the Jin army, the crossbowmen suddenly retreated rapidly.The earth-shaking drums sounded in the Jin army formation, and as the plain "Liu" flag waved, hundreds of spearmen arranged in three lines by the front army began to advance.You can tell by looking at the uniform and strong steps that these spearmen are all battle-tested and resolute soldiers.

The two armies collided violently.The first batch of Hu warriors who rushed to the forefront were stabbed to death by the overlapping spears almost immediately, and the second batch of warriors followed without hesitation.Some of them hacked the handles of the spears with knives and axes, some held the stabbed spears with both hands and pulled them hard, and some jumped into the air and slashed at the soldiers of the Jin army.The soldiers of the Hu nationality roared and charged continuously, the second group of soldiers were still fighting, and the third group of soldiers pressed up again; it was as if raging waves rolled over the rocks, and the whole day would never end.

However, the array of the Jin army stood still like a rock standing by the sea, despite the waves hitting, bombarding, and smashing again and again.The life-sacrificing fight unfolded at the same time on the front that was hundreds of steps wide, and the battle was extremely fierce.The general of the army, Linghu Sheng, stood behind the spearmen of the Jin army, holding his broadsword stuck upside down in both hands, surrounded by dozens of sturdy soldiers.His eyes were falcon-like patrolling the left and right, and occasionally he found a place where the position was shaken. He swung his knife, and a group of personal soldiers rushed over to slash and kill, and immediately stabilized the battle situation.

The number of soldiers invested by the Hu people on the front is about two to three times that of the Jin army. For every Hu man killed, two or three Hu people will fill the vacancy, but the losses of the Jin army cannot be replenished immediately.Linghu Sheng's efforts to maintain the integrity of the front became more and more difficult, and the number of personal soldiers around him who could serve as mobile troops gradually decreased.These soldiers are all brave and skilled fighters who have followed Liu Kun in the South and North for many years. The sacrifice of each person is an irreparable loss!
