Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later
Chapter 122: Using the Huns to Gain Experience 2
"God Archer... This is the Han Chinese God Archer I mentioned last time..."
In the Hun army, a soldier looked at the rain of arrows flying from afar and screamed in fear.
This soldier had narrowly escaped being ambushed by Xu Chu and his gang the previous year. He held up his shield to protect his head and complained loudly, "I told you the Han people have archers who can shoot at ranges of 200 steps, but you just wouldn't believe me, you just wouldn't believe me..."
The rain of arrows was like a swarm of suddenly frightened locusts, flying out from the slope in dense swarms. Although the valley was spacious, there was a river blocking the Huns' left side, and the road to the slope was covered with bushes. Zhang Mo shot at the back of the Huns' team, and there were people blocking the way in front. Everyone was crowded on the road and could not evacuate for a while. Almost every arrow shot by the longbowman could take the life of a person or a horse.
After three rounds of arrow rain, hundreds of the last section of Hun cavalry had been shot dead. The wounded horses neighed and rushed towards the front team, and the neat team was completely in chaos.
Those squeezed in the middle wanted to ride their horses across the river, those at the back wanted to retreat but were shot back by a rain of arrows, and those in the front wanted to rush forward.
Hu Fu was also stunned by the extremely long-range bow. He came to his senses and shouted urgently, "Charge! Charge forward! Don't retreat!"
There is no way to retreat at this time. If they are chased to the narrow part of the bag, there will be more casualties. Now as long as they fight with the bandits in front, the archers will not dare to shoot arrows anymore. With only thousands of troops, they can deal with hundreds of bandits. What is there to be afraid of?
During this short while, the thousand-man vanguard who had been at the front had already joined the battle with Xu Chu and the others.
Xu Chu, Guan Hai, Taishi Ci and Xu Huang were all wearing plate armor, and even their war horses were covered with a layer of armor. The four of them led the way, like four sharp spikes piercing into the enemy formation, stirring up a bloody storm.
Taishi Ci's spear was like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, constantly extending and retracting. Every spear shadow was a life-threatening rope, taking away several lives in an instant.
The last time Taishi Ci followed Guan Hai to rescue Zhang Mo and others in Yanmen, he had been on the battlefield, but at that time the enemy had been almost killed by Xu Chu and others, and he had just warmed up when the battle ended. This time he must kill to his heart's content.
He had all the martial arts skills, but he was just a clerk in the county and never had the chance to fight and kill the enemy. How could it be that the opportunity for his first killing spree was given by Amo?
While killing the enemies, Taishi Ci couldn't help but sigh. He had to say that although Amo was a girl, she was braver than most men. She dared to come and drive out the Hu Lu with only a thousand soldiers.
Xu Huang swung his axe wildly, his movements creating a rustling sound. Every blow from his axe dismembered a Xiongnu soldier. Xu Huang was already a brave warrior, and since he wore plate armor, he needed little defense. He fought with reckless abandon, and in a moment, he had charged into the Xiongnu ranks.
Xu Chu and Guan Hai were equally brave, especially Xu Chu. With his sharp steel knife and extraordinary strength, he rode his horse straight ahead, leaving pieces of broken corpses wherever he passed.
The nearby Hun soldiers were frightened by the killing of these people. Seeing that the four people were wrapped up like iron barrels, they had no way to attack them even if they surrounded them. The fear of the strong made the Hun soldiers intentionally avoid the four people's sharp attacks and turn to kill ordinary thieves from the back.
However, they thought that ordinary thieves in cloth clothes were not easy to deal with. A Hun soldier took advantage of the fight between the Golden Eagle Guard and another man and slashed at his back with a knife, but the expected blood and flesh did not fly. He only heard a ding sound, and the scimitar in his hand flew out as if it had hit hard iron.
He turned around in disbelief, only to see the thief's torn clothes revealing the gleaming white steel surface. His knife strike had not caused any harm to the other party.
Plate armor is difficult to cast and extremely expensive, but face armor is much simpler. All you have to do is cast steel plates according to the curve of the upper body and fit them tightly into the leather clothing, just like wrapping an iron barrel around the body.
After returning from the Xianbei last time, Zhang Mo ordered the young and strong men in the valley to speed up the casting of face armor. Now, more than 200 sets have been equipped. Unless the arms and legs are cut off, the soldiers wearing face armor cannot be hurt at all.
The sturdy armor, coupled with the fact that the Golden Eagle Guards were originally selected for their bravery, after the restructuring of the stronghold, the Golden Eagle Guards no longer engaged in production and only needed to train every day. More than half of them were those who had strolled around Xianbei last time, and they could be called the elite among the elite.
Just at the beginning, more than half of the Xiongnu cavalry in the front were killed. Seeing this battle situation, Hu Fu knew that he had been fooled. The common people and bandits he thought were actually an iron army that was more brutal than the officers and soldiers. His soldiers were almost powerless to fight back.
On the banks of the Wenshui River, a bloody mist filled the air amidst the flying dust. Screams, roars, and wails resounded throughout the entire valley. The river water had been dyed red with blood. In a short while, more than a thousand of the Xiongnu's vanguard cavalry were killed.
Unable to break through, Hu Fu could only order his troops to turn around and flee. At this point, as many as could be escaped would be valuable. If they continued to fight to the death, the entire army would surely be wiped out.
In the battle, Taishi Ci saw Hu Fu trying to escape, so he took off the carved bow on his horse and loaded it with an arrow. Hu Fu had just turned his horse's head when he was stabbed in the back without paying attention. The severe pain and the warhorse charging around caused him to be accidentally bumped by a soldier next to him, and he lost his balance and fell off the horse. A personal guard wanted to get down and pull him up, but found that his chest had been trampled by a horse following closely behind.
The main general was killed, and the horse thieves' powerful fighting ability and magical weapons caused the Xiongnu soldiers to completely collapse. Their companions were trampled under their horses one by one, their heads were chopped off, and their mounts rushed into the river.
Everyone hurriedly rode their horses and fled. After a wave of people were killed by the longbowmen, the remaining two thousand cavalrymen ran desperately towards the mouth of the bag. Xu Chu and others led the troops to chase them. At this time, it was a one-sided massacre. When they reached the mouth of the bag, only the few hundred cavalrymen in the front escaped, and the rest were all killed.
From the mouth of the bag to the middle of the valley, the road of more than ten miles was littered with corpses, and the smell of blood filled the entire valley.
In this battle, the Golden Eagle Guards lost twenty-three lives in exchange for more than four thousand Hun lives, and also captured more than three thousand war horses and dozens of carts of food.
Seeing this casualty ratio, Taishi Ci and Xu Huang were both shocked. They knew that this group of bandits were powerful, but they didn't expect them to be so powerful. Although they had the advantage of terrain today and an ambush by longbowmen, this group of saber-wielding soldiers were the most terrifying force of this team, especially the first few hundred men, almost each of whom could fight ten enemies at once.
At this moment, Xu Huang was actually somewhat glad that he was captured and brought to Juyi Village that day. If the strength of this bandit army was expanded three or four times, it would be easy to take down the position of the Black Mountain leader.
As he thought about it, he looked at Zhang Mo who was not frowning even in the face of the corpses scattered all over the ground. Suddenly, he felt a little sore in his teeth. This woman was more terrifying and cruel than he had imagined. If she had wanted to kill in front of the earth building that day, his 3,000 bandits who had just gathered not long ago would not be her match at all. Without war horses, they would have nowhere to escape.
Fortunately, Amo seems to be more friendly to the Baibo Army, who are also Han Chinese!
After sorting out the spoils, it was already dark. Everyone wanted to rest for a night and then set off back to Taiyuan, but they received a report from scouts in the rear that the officers and soldiers had assembled an army of 10,000 and were heading towards Wangfeng Valley.
Zhang Mo sent five hundred auxiliary soldiers to send the extra war horses and captured weapons back to Juyi Village. The others set up camp there and waited for the officers and soldiers to arrive before going to Xihe County to kill the enemy together.
…………
The next day, when Lü Bu's troops were halfway along the route, they also received a report from their scouts: "Yesterday, our 5,000-horse Xiongnu vanguard encountered a group of bandits in Wangfeng Valley. Except for a few hundred who escaped, the rest were all killed."
Lu Bu asked anxiously, "Where are the bandits? What are their casualties? Have you seen their leader?"
"I don't know the exact number of casualties, but judging by the battle situation, there were almost no casualties, and the four strong men in the lead were all unharmed."
Lu Bu looked at the soldier anxiously, "I'm not asking about this... Bandit leader, have you seen it?"
The soldier looked up at Lu Bu and shook his head in confusion. "I was investigating from the other side of the river, and that's all I saw. As for the bandit leader... I don't know."
Zhang Liao said, "Since there are no casualties, she must be fine. Captain, don't worry."
Lu Bu nodded and waved his hand to let the soldiers retreat. He was anxious to see Zhang Mo, so he asked Zhang Liao and Han Lai to lead the main force and march slowly. He led 500 cavalry to rush to Wangfeng Valley first.
