Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 1012 Xianbei Raid

  The corpses that fell on the ground were taken away by the Xianbei people with hooks and ropes to clear a passage, and then the Xianbei soldiers gathered again, forming a shield formation and moving forward step by step.

   This time, the Xianbei people were not as eager as the last few times, and seemed to be moving forward more cautiously.

   Zhang Liao had already taken off his cowhide boots and stood on the ground barefoot, as did the surrounding soldiers, even those wearing straw sandals were still not working well.

Soil soaked by rain, and then soaked by blood, will tenaciously adhere to any object with a little bit of friction, and it will become more and more with every walk, and finally it will not stop under the action of gravity. Willingly fall back to the ground.

During Zhang Liao's previous two defenses just now, the cowhide boots had become mud ball boots. A thick circle of yellow mud adhered to the perimeter of the boots, which were heavy and unstable. Therefore, during the interval between battles, He took it off and stood on the muddy ground with bare feet, which was even more convenient.

Facing the loess and back facing the sky, as a farming nation, when stepping on the earth with bare feet, they will naturally feel the support and emotion of the earth for themselves. When one day their lives come to an end, people in the Han Dynasty will naturally choose to turn their backs to the loess. Chaotian is also a luxury that no one in future generations can enjoy.

The same is true for the Xianbei people, who basically took off their leather boots or cloth shoes, and moved forward barefoot behind the shield, hiding their bodies tightly. It was impossible to find a suitable target at all, and after being exposed to the humid air for a long time, the bowstring made of various tendons was also a little weak, and the arrows shot were not as powerful as before.

The Xianbei shield formation moved forward step by step, and suddenly someone shouted something in the shield formation, and the Xianbei shield formation suddenly flipped open, and several Xianbei soldiers rushed out from the gap in the shield, holding their spears fiercely. Throw out!

   "Captain! Be careful!"

   Zhang Liao was at the forefront of the formation, and he was the first choice for the Xianbei fighters. When he discovered that Xianbei had changed his formation, the thrown spears roared in front of him!

And some Xianbei soldiers who seemed to be covering behind the Xianbei shield also ran a few steps in succession and threw their spears together. Suddenly, the spears flew from the air like raindrops, with the scream of death, Coming towards the gate of the pass city!

Zhang Liao swung his spear sharply, and immediately blocked and knocked a few spears away, but as the Xianbei soldiers ran forward and threw the spears out continuously, he felt a little pressure, after all, the weight of the spear is Even if the arrow is more than ten times that of the arrow, the force transmitted from the spear will still make Zhang Liao's spear a little slow, and under such circumstances, as long as there is a gap, the consequences may be disastrous.

Zhang Liao's personal guard hurriedly raised his shield and rushed forward, trying to cover Zhang Liao, but his figure was exposed. Suddenly, a man screamed and was hit by a spear in the side, which went straight through. The battle armor pierced into his body, he couldn't help but loosen his hand, and he collapsed to the ground with his shield on, blood gushing out, seeing less air coming in and more air coming out...

  Although there was a threat to their lives, more people rushed forward and raised their shields in an attempt to protect Zhang Liao.

Feiqian has always attached great importance to the protection of soldiers. Even if cavalry does not have full-body armor like hoplites, there are still sleeves in the form of armor. It is just for the convenience of riding. There is no protection, so as long as it is injured, it is a serious injury.

After the sudden encounter of the Xianbei troops, they also used bows and arrows for long-range attacks, but found that the effect was not satisfactory. The weak arrows could not penetrate the armor of the Han army at all, let alone the guards holding shields, so After a few rounds of shooting, they all gave up and chose to fight hand-to-hand. But now, being suppressed by Zhang Liao, he couldn't go any further, and had to throw out the spears in his hands. You must know that Xianbei in this era did not have javelins like Rome. These spears are from Xianbei The weapons used by the family, after being thrown out, it means that these people can only fight with short knives...

   It can be seen that the Xianbei people were really pushed into a hurry, but these spears thrown at close range were powerful and heavy, but they really had the power to pierce armor!

  Seeing that Zhang Liao was suppressed, the Xianbei people let out a frenzied cry, and a lot of people rushed towards the pass...

Zhang Chen, who was on the broken wall of the pass, shouted quickly, asking the Han army to shoot repressively, but there were hardly a few people standing on the broken pass. , There is not much resistance at all!

   Zhang Liao was surrounded by personal guards, and when he was about to push aside the soldiers and move forward, his wrists felt a little sore, and he frowned. Having traveled a long distance before, without any repairs, they pressed all the way, not only defeated Xianbei's vanguard, but even defeated Xianbei's counterattack several times.

   This kind of fighting intensity, even a tough man, is a little too much...

  Seeing that the Han generals were being forced to retreat, Turkin shouted loudly, and rushed towards the pass with his most elite personal guards!

  These Turkin's personal guards are very well equipped, even a set of leather armor, and the weapons in their hands are naturally sharp and exquisite, which is completely different from ordinary Xianbei soldiers.

Turkin, on the other hand, wore two layers of battle armor, one layer of leather armor, one layer of battle armor, and a shield. Instead of a war knife, he was carrying a black iron axe. Tall and strong, it looks like a dark iron tower, just looking at it is enough to make people feel chills!

  Withered bone crossing, the battleground!

Although Turur still led the rest of the Xianbei cavalry behind, for Turkin, he couldn't just wait here for the troops to arrive without making any move. , and may not be able to escape the fate of stepping forward to fight. Everyone knows that among the Xianbei tribe, warriors have always been respected, not some insidious people who shrink their heads and only use tricks.

What's more, Turkin has endured the previous battles for a long time. Why did the rest of the Xianbei soldiers come forward to consume the strength of the generals of the Han army? This is not without a price. If you can't **** the crossing this time, your prestige will be completely wiped out. The next time you encounter the same situation, the Xianbei soldiers will no longer listen to him.

Therefore, taking advantage of the moment when the generals of the Han army are retreating, although I don’t know whether the spear throwing of that burst has caused any damage to the generals of the Han army, but for Turkin, it is now to lead his subordinates to break through this crossing. The corpses of the Han Chinese defenders are underfoot, the best chance to seize this dry bone pass!

  The dark feet are stepping on them. As the foam splashed, Turkin had already rushed to the pass with his people, and suddenly roared, announcing the start of this pounce!

  During the roar, Turkin lowered his waist slightly, and with the momentum of his forward charge, he slashed at the shields gathered by the Han army at the pass with an axe! The iron ax weighing dozens of catties was like a wooden stick, and was being chiseled on the shield. With a bang, the shield immediately fell apart, and the **** holding the shield was completely crushed. After being knocked into the air, his arm was twisted into an unnatural shape. If it wasn't for the iron gloves, his limbs would have been separated.

Before the rest of the pawns could react, Turkin's iron ax had already slashed at the **** on the other side with his backhand. Although it was protected by armor, the armor was powerless against such a heavy weapon. Immediately, there was a sound of bone breaking that made hair stand on end, and the naked eye could already see that the breastplate of the Han soldier knight was sunken downwards, blood rushed out with the scream, and then fell to the side.

  Turjin struck another ax to the other side, and chopped down another Han pawn. In a blink of an eye, a gap was opened in the Han army formation!

  The Xianbei soldiers shouted, taking advantage of the gap in the Han Chinese shield that had been dug open by Turkin, and rushed into the middle!

The more than ten shields of the two sides collided fiercely, squeezing each other, and countless short knives and spears stabbed at each other from the gaps in the shields. Immediately, he was trampled into the deeper mud by countless pairs of people standing in the mud.

  In this small area, the shouts and screams from both sides shook the valley. The ground has already been sprinkled with stumps and viscera from which side it is not known, colorful here and there, and blood is even more sprinkled, mixed on the land that has been trampled into a quagmire, making the muddy water exude a strange smell. Purple-black color.

  Xianbei tried hard to drive the Han people out of this pass, but the Han people resisted as much as possible. For a little advance and retreat, both sides did not hesitate to sacrifice their lives. Even on the collapsed pass wall, there were figures of both sides fighting.

The people brought up by Turkin surpassed the average Xianbei soldiers in terms of martial prowess. In terms of physical exercise and fighting each other, as for life, there are naturally many slaves to provide, so whether it is in terms of strength or skills, they have suppressed ordinary Han soldiers. Under the leadership, an astonishing combat power broke out, and the Han soldiers who were originally stuck in the city gate were pushed out step by step!

  The shields collided again, and the spears and short knives of both sides greedily wandered between the shields, inserting each other's chest, thighs, and even the exposed soles of their feet! Some people couldn't help but screamed and collapsed, but the soldiers who were fighting didn't care about it at all!

  Turkin, surrounded by his own men, carefully observed the fierce battle ahead, and suddenly ordered with a cold face: "Change row!"

   Several guards around them immediately raised their voices and shouted together: "Change row, change row!"

  A row of shield-raising soldiers in the back immediately shouted and pushed forward, while the Xianbei soldiers who had been killed and wounded in the front and somewhat exhausted immediately retreated from the gap between the shields. Some Xianbei soldiers were already wounded, and they were struggling to hold on with a sigh of relief. When they heard the order to change ranks, they had just taken two steps down. As soon as their spirits relaxed, the huge pain was used up overwhelmingly. As soon as he vented his strength, he fell limply to the ground, and the Xianbei soldiers who rushed up from behind ignored these wounded soldiers who were still screaming...

When fighting in the army formation, as an ordinary soldier, there are not many opportunities to choose, and there is no way to say what tossing and turning, showing off a coquettish and colorful posture, surrounded by crowded people, if you twist too much Maybe it hit the tip of a soldier's knife.

  Most of the time, everyone would resign themselves to their fate and stand together with their comrades-in-arms, desperately connecting the shields, fitting them against the shields, and forming a solid front. Whoever is unlucky enough to be stabbed by the enemy on the opposite side can only complain about the bad feng shui of the ancestral tomb, and if one falls down, he will quickly make up for it. On the battlefield, when fighting face to face, most people will lose their sense of normalcy, and they can't even feel that they are a living person, just corpses that can move!

  Turkin rushed forward, the ax passed, blood splashed, and the armor was already full of shocking red. Under his slashing, the Han soldiers in front of him stumbled, and the shield formation couldn't connect for a long time.

As a general with excessive bravery, he has great advantages in small-scale battles. The scene where Zhang Liao was facing Xianbei soldiers before, this time it was staged here in Xianbei. The Xianbei soldiers became more and more courageous as they fought. Finally suppressed it, seeing this situation, the Xianbei people couldn't help cheering loudly!

While killing the Han soldiers recklessly, Turkin felt a little uneasy in his heart. Seeing that his son had gained the upper hand, he took two steps back together, took a breath, and then stood in the crowd and glanced at the Han soldiers opposite him. I didn't find the figure of the general of the Han army...

   Could it be that the spear was thrown by chance before?

Just after throwing spears, although the Han soldiers quickly rushed up and surrounded the young Han general with shields, Turkin couldn't see whether he had hurt the Han general, but after so long None showed up...

  On the battlefield, anything can happen, even if you accidentally step on a stone or twist your body, it may cause the shot that was originally missed to be shot.

Although Turkin knew that there was such a possibility, he was still worried if he didn't see it with his own eyes. Therefore, his eyes kept searching around the flag of the Han army on the opposite side. Suddenly, he saw the Han army just now. The general stood out from behind several shields covered in blood...
