Chapter 292 Old tactics

With an order, the Han army was forced to form a snake formation and charge towards Zhang He.

Some of them were timid, some had red faces, and some had ferocious faces.

It's normal, some people are forced to move forward, some are resentful, and some have already risked their lives...

"Be careful, the other side's archers are shooting from behind!" Zhang He shouted, after all, everything on the battlefield was under his attention.

Under the pressure of the Huns' war team, they had to spread out widely. The horizontal length of the team was more than twice the length of Zhang He's phalanx.

Obviously the opponent's purpose is to surround them in this state. After all, this is the main use of the long snake formation.

Attract from the front, contain the left and right sides, and attack the rear with the main force, simple and practical.

But in this way, the battle formation will be very thin, but if there are thousands of people behind preparing to shoot arrows, that is another matter.

In the final analysis, the Xiongnu's idea was very simple: rely on the Han army to block the way of the army, and then use archers to shoot.

The Huns were good at riding and shooting, so it didn't matter if they didn't have extra horses, as long as they didn't lose their archery skills.

Thousands of archers suddenly asked you if you were afraid?
Not afraid?
Then you have to destroy all the Han troops in front of you first!
As for whether archery will hurt the Han troops on your side, I don't care about that!
This kind of formation is Zhang He's favorite in the game.

With a sword and shield soldier in front and a strong bow and catapult at the back, the opponent's AI will be attracted by the sword and shield soldier in front, and the archers and catapults at the back will destroy the opponent.

It's a pity that reality is not a game. Now that meat can keep up with it, the training of archers is much easier than before.

However, so many crossbows are not easy to make. The sources of animal sinew required for war bows are relatively limited. However, the tail feathers and arrowheads of bows and arrows have solved the problem.

Modern bowstrings are made of chemical fibers, so they can be made in large quantities. These days, they are mainly made of animal sinew.

People in this era probably couldn't imagine that people in later generations would actually use beef tendon as food...

"Han Sheng, I want you to rush forward, rush to the opponent's position, and stop them from shooting arrows!" Zhang He shouted.

Among the whole army, Huang Zhong's army has the strongest ability to break formations.

"Here!" Huang Zhong naturally knew what Zhang He meant, and immediately led his troops out of the position.

Seeing the approaching Han army in front, Huang Zhong was completely merciless and led his army to kill them.

Unlike Zhang He, people these days can fight civil wars as national wars.

He attacks with fire and water at every turn, killing tens of thousands of people in one breath, and there are many 10,000+ armies...

Now that the opponent had picked up weapons, Huang Zhong was naturally not polite and immediately led his troops to fight, killing a bloody path in the blink of an eye.

Compared with these armies composed of ordinary Han people, the Taishan soldiers under Huang Zhong were naturally more elite.

As long as you get close, there is no enemy.

Naturally, the enemy troops that broke out from the battle formation were immediately targeted.

Huang Zhong picked up a shield in advance to protect his face.

The other soldiers also raised their shields and tried their best to protect themselves.

Taishan soldiers are all heavy infantry, covered with scale armor, equipped with large shields, and their weapons are also replaced by axes.

Compared with thrusting, slashing and breaking formations are their strengths, and are used to break through enemy positions and camps.

Those horses and railings were simply vulnerable in front of these soldiers.

The Xiongnu's arrow skills are very strong, and they can always aim at some gaps in the defense and shoot towards the vital points of the soldiers.

All the soldiers can do is keep their bodies low, and then run towards the opponent as fast as possible!
The horse that Huang Zhong sat on was carefully taken care of. Fortunately, the horse had half-body armor to avoid arrows shot from the front as much as possible...

In fact, there were not. There were a large number of arrows stuck on the vest, including the shield in Huang Zhong's hand.

Even his armor was still very strong after all, and he couldn't break through the defense at a distance of more than ten meters.

"Kill!" Seeing that the kill was coming, Huang Zhong raised his sword with all his strength and opened a hole. The soldiers behind him quickly followed up, quickly expanding the results of the battle.

Surrounded by a group of soldiers with war bows, their armor is very poor.

That is inevitable, after all, this is just the bottom of the Xiongnu.

But the leader of the tribe does not even have horses.

They have only one duty, and that is: keep shooting arrows, shoot arrows desperately, until their lives and arrows are exhausted!
At the same time, two cavalrymen had already charged out, using the gap held by the archers to attack Zhang He's rear army.

Naturally, Zhao Yun's two cavalry also headed towards them.The only difficulty is that we must use one thousand cavalry to stop the opponent's five thousand cavalry!

"Shoot!" Zhao Yun gave the order, and the soldiers bent their bows and shot arrows.

After all, the opponent was already drawing his bow before this.If you don’t want to be a hedgehog, it’s best to fight back in advance.

The rain of arrows quickly fell into the enemy's position, naturally causing many enemy troops to fall suddenly, but more enemy troops began to fight back.

There was just one thing: the cavalry under Zhao Yun used two stone bows, while the opponent used one stone, so the shooting distance and power were different.

After shooting the arrows, Zhao Yun led his troops to disperse quickly to avoid the opponent's counterattack as much as possible.

The opponent soon found out that his arrow flew past, but it actually had no power. After all, it had exceeded the effective range.

Taking advantage of this moment, Zhao Yun's scattered soldiers quickly joined forces and rushed towards the enemy.

They are not real horse archers, especially the two-stone bows, which are a waste of energy.

But the power is indeed very high, so you can shoot two or three arrows at most to contain it, and then start the close combat.

In order to facilitate medium-range combat, there is a throwing gun behind each soldier.

At this moment, under Zhao Yun's order, he threw it towards the opponent's battle formation.

Within a distance of more than ten to twenty meters, this thing is easier to use than arrows.

The Southern Xiongnu people originally lacked armor, and the leather armor on their bodies could not protect them at all. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of them fell from their horses.

"The fighting methods of the Southern Xiongnu are still similar to those of decades ago..." Zhang He sneered.

In order to conquer the Southern Huns, he had done a lot of homework during this period.

I read as many documents as possible about the war between the Southern Huns.

Except for the use of Han people as cannon fodder, everything else is basically the same as recorded in the literature.

Decades have passed, and they have not innovated at all. At most, the archer phalanx is a little interesting.

However, in Zhang He's view, it was not so much an innovation as a helpless choice due to the lack of horses.

In a sense, the Southern Xiongnu did change, that is, they became weaker, and their social structure and customs became closer to those of the Han people.

The Chinese version of Dahan still has some effects, but the effect is too slow.

Mainly the dignitaries of the Southern Huns, or the dignitaries of various countries are not fools.

If you like Dahan’s things and like to talk about Chinese things, that’s because as long as you show this, you can get good things from Dahan.

This is like the so-called foreign traffic code in later generations. If you find any foreigner and come over to brag about how great China is and how bad other countries are, you can basically make a lot of money.

Who would have thought that people in ancient times had known this trick, and the upper-level people kept touting it, but after reaping the benefits, the people below did not get much benefit, and naturally they did not have much favorable impressions of the big man.

Not to mention, those nobles would not give them too many opportunities to get in touch with Sinology.

If the upper class does not promote it, then the lower class will still maintain a state of non-Chineseization and be controlled by their nobles.

Zhang He's sinicization method is to destroy the original aristocrats and support those who have successfully sinicized them as stewards. He is the aristocrat!

The topic is a bit far-fetched, but the current battle situation is indeed a bit boring.

Facing the old-fashioned offensive methods, Zhang He only needed simple micro-control, and the opponent's offense could be perfectly resolved.

On the contrary, their soldiers were decreasing little by little, and their morale was rapidly losing steam.

The five thousand Han people at the head were either dead or fled in all directions.

I don’t know the exact number of deaths, but Zhang He plans to calculate it as five thousand!

 Every time I write about history, I make a lot of discoveries. For example, I discovered that Zhang Lu’s Five Pecks of Rice religion was actually the same thing as a mouse. Of course, there is a more accurate name, but I won’t type it out to avoid being blocked. Just know it.In addition, foreign countries in ancient times already understood the code of wealth for China, and as a result, there were still a group of people who foolishly gave money to them...

  Many ancient things are really applicable to modern times. In the end, we can’t help but sigh: The only lesson we learn from history is that we never learn any lessons.

  But in the final analysis, very few people really understand history. After all, they don’t have time, and history is inherently a niche thing.If we had a strong motherland, we wouldn't even bother to care about Tang Zong and Han Wu.

  Therefore, many things that happened are not clear. In fact, they have happened again and again in the past dynasties.
