Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 414 Came Too Soon
On the west bank of Shimen Water, the sound of shouting and killing shook the sky.

Under Cheng Bushi's personal command, [-] Han infantry marched against the river, firmly controlling the ferry, blocking the direction of the Aries King.On the other side of the Shimen River, there are still [-] infantry watching, ready to cross the pontoon bridge to support at any time.

Among the generals of Bianjun, Cheng Bushi is as famous as Li Guang, but their personalities are completely opposite.He is very strict in the army and is good at defense. Although he is not liked by the generals, his formation is undoubtedly the most difficult to break through in battle. He has fought for more than ten years and has not lost a single defeat.

Although there are only [-] pawns, he can make the Aries King who has [-] fine cavalry helpless.

King Aries is in a dilemma.He came here to rescue King Loufan.If you can't contain enough Han troops, it won't have any effect at all.Cheng Bushi lined up in the water, and left [-] infantry on the east bank, obviously ready to support Han Anguo at any time and attack King Loufan.

This was Cheng Bushi's humiliation to him, he wanted to block his [-] cavalry with [-] pawns.

The King of Aries became furious and ordered to continue the attack.Although he knew that the Han army had a clear advantage in this kind of positional battle, he didn't think Cheng Bushi could stop his [-] cavalry with [-] pawns.He wanted to break through this position, so he slapped Cheng Bushi hard.If possible, he hoped to kill Cheng Bushi before the battle, and let him pay the due price for his frivolity.

The King of Aries ordered several commanders to lead their headquarters to attack the positions of the Han army in turn, patiently looking for opportunities to break the formation.

The Huns rode horses, passing by the front of the Han army's position like the wind, shooting a rain of arrows, and then drifted away.The sound of horseshoes and the flying dust, together with the speeding arrows, rushed towards the arrayed Han army, stimulating the nerves of the Han army officers and soldiers.

The soldiers of the Han army shot at the back of the cart, hid behind the shield, and glared at the arrogant Huns, but there was nothing they could do.A two-legged man can't run a four-legged horse. Facing the Huns who come and go like the wind, they can only stick to their positions. Once they lose the protection of the formation, they will become the ghosts of the Huns.

Under the command of the deep and powerful battle drums, the generals of the Han army gritted their teeth and patiently waited for the opportunity to counterattack.The Huns were still kept in the dark, but the soldiers of the Han army knew that this expedition was different from the past, and it was a rare initiative in the history of the Han army.Standing firm is just the beginning, not the end, and let the Huns be arrogant for a while, and wait for the counterattack to start, and then make them look good.

This belief not only supports their patience, but also adds infinite courage to them.

The sword and shield hand squatted on the ground, and the spear hand held the spear and halberd tightly in his hand. Only the crossbowman kept shooting and returned the color.For the Huns cavalry, the bows and crossbows of the Han army are the most terrifying weapons. They not only have a long range, but also have an aiming function. The hit rate is much higher than that of ordinary bows and arrows.In order to make the bows and arrows in their hands effective, they must rush within the range of the Han army's bow and crossbow, risking being shot and killed by the Han army.

Ten thousand Han troops, equipped with four thousand strong bows and crossbows.It was the arrows fired by these crossbows that blocked the Huns' footsteps and made them stop before the Han army's position.After three days of fierce fighting, the Huns lost more than 4000 people and were still unable to advance.

The Han army could not catch up with the Huns, but it was also very difficult for the Huns to break through the Han army's blocking.

Sitting on the chariot of the Chinese army, Cheng Bushi held up his clairvoyance, looking at the smoky front and the Huns in the distance.

He can block the Aries King and fight for Han Anguo, but if he doesn't have enough beheadings, he doesn't have enough military exploits.After fighting for a lifetime, it is very difficult to wait for the opportunity to fight back, but there is still no hope of becoming a marquis. This is a very cruel reality.He can endure and accept his fate, but what about the soldiers under his command?
Am I really inferior to Li Guang?
Thinking of Li Guang, Cheng Bushi felt even more bitter.Li Guang had already made an emergency landing on King Xiutu, and it was expected that he would be granted the title of Marquis.Now he has led another [-] fine cavalry to come, and he can only bear the heavy responsibility of chasing the Huns.It's useless to defend yourself no matter how stable you are, the final victory is still Li Guang's.

Cheng Buzhi sighed secretly, temporarily put all his emotions and frustrations behind him, and directed the battle wholeheartedly.

This is fate!
In the smoke and dust, a fast horse galloped from a distance, rushed to the left side of the large formation, the knight got off his horse, passed through the gap between the two small square formations, and walked quickly towards the central army.Someone stepped forward to hold his horse, led him into the formation, fed him and watered him.

Chen Anping, the chief clerk beside Cheng Bushi, saw the scout, and quickly reminded: "General, there is a situation."

Cheng Buzhi remained calm, but felt a little nervous.He didn't know where the news came from, whether it was good news or bad news.He knew very well that this was not an ordinary battle. The Han army used more than [-] troops. Not only the victory or defeat was related to whether the Han army could retake Henan, but also the first battle since the emperor took office.

Li Guang was still west of Wolf Mountain, thousands of miles away, so it was impossible to arrive so soon.Could it be reinforcements from the Huns?
At this moment, Cheng Bushi thought a lot, and the big hand holding Che Shi made Che Shi creak.

Finally, the scout came to Cheng Bushi. "General, Liang Xiao, the forward of Li Guang's department, leads [-] elite cavalry, ready to enter the battlefield at any time..."

"What?" Cheng Bushi interrupted the scouts. "Say it again, who's here?"

The scout looked at Cheng Bushi in surprise, and became a little scared.Cheng Bushi is strict in running the army, and all the soldiers are a little afraid of him. "It's... Liang Xiao, Captain Lieutenant under General Li Guang's command, that's... that young man who was enfeoffed as a Marquis..."

"I know who Liang Xiao is." Cheng Bushi waved his hand vigorously, interrupting the scouts again.He was surprised and delighted. "How did he come so fast?"

The scout didn't know how to answer.How did I know how he could come so fast.Seeing this, Chen Anping rolled his eyes and quickly asked, "Are there only 3000 people led by Liang Xiao?"

The scout shook his head as if waking up from a dream. "No, Lieutenant Liang said that all of General Li Guang's troops have arrived, but he was just a little faster."

"How is this possible?!" Chen Anping was also dumbfounded.If it was only Liang Xiao who arrived, there was a reason for it, this young prince is famous for his long-distance raids.Li Guang and others also arrived, which is not normal, or rather, this is not good news at all, but a disaster.

The Art of War says: If you strive for profit for a hundred miles, you will be defeated by the general.The long-distance raid, the men and horses are exhausted, and there are only 5000 men, but the Aries King has [-] riders, and he waits for work with ease. Is this Li Guang rushing to die?
Chen Anping glanced at Cheng Bushi, just in time to see the fear flashing in Cheng Bushi's eyes.After a while, Cheng Bushi said urgently: "Notify Liang Xiao, let him..." Cheng Bushi paused and adjusted his tone as much as possible. "The morale of the Huns has not declined, let him not underestimate the enemy."

"Here." The scout took the order, turned around and left.

"General, I'm afraid it's too late." A fine layer of sweat dripped from Chen Anping's forehead. "We have received the news, and I am afraid that Aries King has also received the news. He will not let this opportunity pass."

Cheng Bushi was so anxious that he lost his composure, clapped his big hand hard, and sighed, "Li Guang..." He thought for a while, but couldn't hide his frustration. "Another 1 people will be transferred to cross the river. The whole army is ready to fight back and try to contain the Aries King. Immediately pass the news to Han Gong to avoid any mistakes."

"Here." Chen Anping knew it well and didn't dare to neglect it. He immediately arranged for someone to send news to Han Anguo, and notified the generals on the other side, and then sent another 1 people across the water to join the battle to contain the Aries King and serve Li Guang and Liang Xiao. Reduce stress and minimize casualties.

If Li Guang's entire army is wiped out, the Han army will be severely injured, and the goal of capturing Henan will be slim.

-

Just as Cheng Bushi expected, King Aries received the news that the Han army was approaching before him.

Aries King, who was being extremely depressed by Cheng Buzhi's big formation, was overjoyed.Marching rapidly is a severe test for the physical strength of the horse.The Han army rushed to Shimenshui so quickly, what combat power is there?Not to mention the Han army, even the Huns would not be so desperate unless they had to.

This is simply a gift from God to me.

In ecstasy, Aries King didn't have much time to think about other things, leaving 1 people to monitor Cheng Bushi, and personally led [-] horses to meet him.

Almost all the Huns were as excited as King Aries.No matter in terms of numbers or physical strength, they had an advantage, and there was no reason for them to be invincible in this battle.The Han army was not good at fighting, but their equipment was very good.With the equipment of the [-] riders, the strength of the Aries King's Department can be raised to another level.

Still dreaming of making a fortune, [-] Huns killed Liang Xiao.

With the idea of ​​first come, first served, Xiao Wang Qu, who was the striker, launched the attack without waiting for the main force of the Aries King to arrive, and sent two thousand-man teams to outflank Liang Xiao's wings, while he personally led the two The thousand-man team faced it head-on, ready to swallow Liang Xiao in one gulp.

"Woo--" the horn sounded, and the two thousand Huns spread out to the two wings, rolling up two clouds of smoke, like the claws of a giant beast, and rushed towards Liang Xiao.

Before the Huns attacked, Liang Xiao noticed the Huns' tactical moves through clairvoyance, and couldn't help but sneered.These Huns are too big, 4000 people want to defeat me, do you think I came here all the way to die?
"Flying geese!" Liang Xiao raised his hand and ordered loudly. "Order Gongsun Rongnu to rush forward. If he can't break the formation this time, he won't have a chance next time."

The messenger waved the battle flag, the drummer beat the small drum, and the war drum spread like thunder in all directions.Soon, war drums sounded from all directions, banners waved, and war drums thundered. The knights jumped on their horses, took off their bows, raised their crossbows, drew their knives, and leveled their spears.

The forward speed accelerated again, and the knights responsible for covering the two wings moved closer to the middle, spreading out formations on both sides of Liang Xiao, like an eagle folded its wings, and began to dive.

At the front of the team, Gongsun Rongnu jumped onto the galloping horse, raised the saber in his hand, and screamed loudly.

"It's at this very moment to become an official and rank. Kill——"

Although his whistling was drowned out by the mighty drums and thunderous hoofbeats, his tall and straight figure fell into the eyes of every soldier.They knew what Gongsun Rongnu was talking about without using words to communicate.They galloped and roared in unison.

"kill--"
