Chapter 453(1/2)
Just when General Fenwei Bu Quan thought the Han army had used up all its strength, he suddenly caught a red flag on the Han army's boats docked by the river.
"ah!"
"kill!"
Just as the Hun cavalry rushed to the Han army's chariot formation, spears pierced out from behind the chariot.
The Hun cavalry who rushed to the front had no time to hide and were injured by spears.
However, the counterattack of the weak Han army array was difficult to retreat these Hun soldiers.
The soldiers from both sides quickly stabbed each other through the chariots.
Some Hun cavalry even dismounted and chose infantry battles because they found that although the chariots were light, they had been fixed to the ground by Han soldiers with wooden wedges.
If these chariots were not removed, the subsequent Hun cavalry would not be able to rush in.
The soldiers on both sides immediately fought in chaos around these chariots.
The Han army's array was thin, but it was obstructed by chariots, which made the advantage of the Hun cavalry unable to be exerted for the time being.
General Fenwei Bu Quan also stopped his horse speed at this time and watched the Huns in front of him break through the gap.
Just one gap was needed, and the Hun cavalry could rush behind the Han infantry.
By that time, all the Han army whose array was broken through would end up dead.
"Shoot, shoot me hard!"
Bu Quan shouted loudly.
He had already seen a place where the Han army seemed to be unable to hold on. As long as he had another fierce attack, it would be broken through.
At this moment, suddenly there were screams and screams from both sides.
There were also a large number of neighing horses.
"What's going on!"
Bu Quan was shocked and immediately looked at both sides.
On both sides of the Hun cavalry, a large number of riders and horses were shot to the end by heavy crossbow arrows.
"Bang!"
A dull sound came, and Bu Quan felt as if he had heard a sound of a broken bone.
Then the mount under his crotch suddenly cried out and fell to the left.
Bu Quan was shocked. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and jumped away immediately, otherwise one leg would be pressed under the beast.
"ah!"
However, Bu Quan, who had just escaped, still threw his mouth and chewed the mud. The pain made his eyes appear and he shouted.
"General!"
"General!"
Several cavalrymen rushed over immediately and panickedly convinced Bu Quan.
After General Fenwei Bu Quan got up, he still didn't know what happened just now.
But at this moment, the screams of the Hun cavalry in his ears were still endless.
"What's going on!" Bu Quan broke free from the soldiers who were holding him and roared loudly.
"General, it is the thief's boat and ship that are using powerful crossbows!" a Hun soldier shouted loudly.
"Impossible, there is no such a strong crossbow!"
Bu Quan immediately blushed and shouted.
The closest place here is a hundred steps away from the river banks on both sides. At such a long distance, even the strongest crossbow can't shoot a horse and die immediately.
However, as soon as Bu Quan finished yelling, he turned his head and saw the crossbow arrows fired from the Han army's boats on the river bank.
The crossbow arrow shot the mount of a Hun cavalry in front of him.
After the ferocious crossbow arrow penetrated the horse's belly, it penetrated from the other side and penetrated the cavalry's calf.
The horse that screamed immediately fell to the ground and could not get up. The Hun soldier had no way to break free, so he could only scream and wail.
"This is not a crossbow arrow, it is obviously a spear!"
Bu Quan was shocked.
He had seen clearly the crossbow arrows shot from the boat.
No wonder he can shoot so far and has lethality.
Those crossbows and arrows are as thick as spears, not to mention thin leather armor, even iron armor is like paper.
At this time, a small gap appeared in the Han military vehicle formation in front. As long as they gathered together and rushed for a while, there was a great possibility of breaking through the past.
However, under the shooting of powerful crossbows on Han military ships on both sides, the Hun cavalry behind had already become in chaos.
Faced with these deadly "flying spears", everyone wanted to find a place to hide.
Once you are hit by these powerful crossbows, you will either die or be injured.
It was precisely this moment of hesitation that the Han infantry at the gap in front of him fought back again, killing the Hun soldiers there to retreat.
Without follow-up support, the Hun soldiers in front of the array had no fighting spirit to continue.
Many Hun soldiers rode their horses again and fled to the rear.
"Oh! It's God's will!"
Seeing this, General Fenwei Bu Quan knew that the battle was difficult to continue.
Even if they retreated and left the range array of Han army's powerful crossbows, it would be difficult to drive these Han army infantry out of the Yellow River.
Because when they attack the chariot array again, those terrifying crossbow arrows will still be shot from both sides.
Even if Bu Quan was willing to continue attacking with casualties, his Xiongnu cavalry might not be willing to die.
"General, retreat!"
"God retreat quickly!"
Several Hun cavalrymen came to General Fenwei Bu Quan and shouted.
Bu Quan, who was once the left Huns' Theatre Master, had the eyes of an eagle, and he had already seen the appearance of those powerful crossbows on the Han army ship from afar.
As the Han soldiers on the ship smashed a sledgehammer hard, another wave of crossbow arrows shot over.
There was another miserable howl in the Hun cavalry array.
Some of the Hun soldiers behind him had already fled back without hesitation.
"This is your mother's powerful crossbow, you actually want to smash it with a hammer!"
General Fenwei Bu Quan cursed in his heart, but shouted quickly.
"withdraw!"
"retreat!"
In an instant, the Hun cavalry fled quickly to the rear, leaving only the bodies of people and horses on the ground, and some wounded soldiers who were still screaming.
In fact, the real casualties are far from enough to make the Hun cavalry flee.
However, these spear-like crossbow arrows were really terrifying, and they did not dare to attack the Han infantry again.
Several Hun cavalry leading the way in front of General Fenwei were clearing the way. After just escaping a hundred steps, they were suddenly whipped hard on their helmet by General Fenwei Bu Quan behind them.
"Where are you going to run like this!"
General Fenwei Bu Quan said angrily.
"Go to Hulao Pass, General!" The beheaded Hun cavalry looked confused.
They were all defenders of Hulao Pass. Now that they are defeated, they are of course fleeing to the pass.
"Idiot! Hulao Pass can't be kept, run west!"
General Fenwei Bu Quan whipped hard, but he whipped the horse's butt.
Then he headed towards the west.
The Hun cavalry who had already retreated to Hulao Pass soon discovered that the chief general had actually ran west and quickly turned around and fled.
Many smart people now know that after the Han army appeared behind Hulao Pass and gained a foothold, Hulao Pass was already a dead city.
It's just a matter of losing it early or late.
If we didn't take advantage of this time, and when the Han army in Qingzhou surrounded each other, the Huns' soldiers and horses in Hulao Pass would feel dead.
The kind who has no way to escape.
Poor Hun soldiers at Hulao Pass, they just saw the main general leading his army to fight for a short time, and then ran west again.
No one expected that the Hun soldiers who remained in Hulao Pass would be the master general who had abandoned the city and fled.
