Han Khan

Chapter 136, Bloody Battle

Luo Wenda and Hailat were constantly urging the Jinhan soldiers at this moment. They needed the cover of the arrow-shielding carts to continue firing rockets at the Ubili camp.

Due to the obstruction of the cart, the attack of the Ubili people could not pose much threat to the Jinhan soldiers.

The Jinhan soldiers could concentrate on shooting arrows as many of the Ubili tents and wooden fences had been set on fire by rockets and the fire was gradually spreading.

However, Zhang Xibao felt very anxious when observing from behind. He felt that the progress was too slow.

So he immediately ordered the people around him to urge the soldiers of the two regiments to speed up and continue moving forward.

Luo Wenda and Hailat, who received the order, were also extremely anxious.

They quickly selected more than 300 soldiers and divided them into two teams.

The soldiers pushed the shield cart and attacked with difficulty.

Although this hill is of a certain height, the terrain is not steep, making it relatively easy for cavalry and infantry to charge.

In addition, the Ubili camp was not high and had no defensive facilities such as trenches or moats, so the attack was not difficult.

The real difficulty was the sheer number of the Ubili people.

These carts were made in large numbers from trees cut down in the past two days, but each cart could only accommodate four or five soldiers, so a large number of them were needed to protect the soldiers from enemy attacks.

Simply put, if the commander decides to attack the city, he will send out carts with wooden wheels underneath and arrow-proof exteriors, and these people will push the ladder carts forward.

"Kill!" With a roar, hundreds of Naimans and Tatars with braided hair surged out from behind the carts like a tide. They had ferocious faces, holding shields and sharp swords. They bravely climbed over the fence and charged towards the enemy in front.

At this time, arrows rained down from the sky like locusts, densely shooting at the charging warriors. The shieldmen at the front were not afraid at all, desperately grasping the edge of the ladder, using their body's center of gravity to lean forward to offset the powerful impact of the arrows.

However, behind them, some Jinhan people who were unfortunately not protected by shields were hit by ruthless arrows, screamed miserably, and then fell heavily to the ground.

Although this height would not necessarily lead to death directly, there were still many defending archers on the city walls ready for battle. Once you lay on the ground, your chances of survival would become slim.

"Kill!" The cart continued to move forward unswervingly, and the Ubili people stood up from the arrow stacks one after another, aiming their bows and arrows at the Jinhan people pushing the carts, trying to stop their advance.

However, doing so also leaves them completely exposed to the enemy, making them the target of attack.

As a result, the Ubili people guarding the camp were constantly shot by the Jinhan archers outside the fence, causing them to scream in pain.

The first wave of Jinhan people who climbed the ladders were killed or wounded before they reached halfway, but they also successfully attracted the Ubili defenders in the village to expose themselves, because whether pushing the material blocking board, pouring boiling water, or stabbing with spears, it is inevitable to expose the upper body.

The second wave of 300 Jin Han soldiers rushed up without waiting for a moment. The rain of arrows was still fierce, and people kept screaming and falling. The people behind them lost their temper and no longer cared whether the shields were tightly covered or not. They just wanted to rush to the top of the city and fight hard.

"Kill!" The first Jin Han man who climbed up to the top of the village had no time to be happy. The knife in his hand fell down weakly just before he swung it halfway.

There were too many Ubili people in the village, and in an instant, seven or eight spears pierced my body.

The people behind him didn't care and continued to rush up. It had come to this point, and if they retreated they would die, so they might as well go up and give it a try, even if it meant taking someone with them before they died.

"Ah!" At this time, the Ubili people in the village kept pouring hot water outside the fence. The armor on the Jinhan soldiers could not withstand it at all. The boiling water flowed towards their bodies through the gaps. Even with the leather jackets to cushion it, it was still so hot that the Jinhan soldiers screamed.

Of course, they were not the worst off. There were also people who were on fire and rolled on the ground trying to put out the flames.

There was no one around to help him. The archers were so focused on shooting arrows at the Ubili people in the village that they didn't even have time to pay attention to the arrows shot by the enemy. It was almost a life-for-life, injury-for-injury strategy.

"Kill!" A Jin Han man wearing heavy armor and with braided hair rushed to the top of the city wall, relying on the protection on his body, and rushed forward with a roar.

The mace in his hand was swung continuously, causing casualties wherever it rubbed or bumped into someone. It turned out that this man was born with supernatural powers, and it didn't take long for him to create a gap.

But the dense arrow feathers shot him into a hedgehog.

Luo Wenda and Hailat stared at the attack and defense battle with grim faces. More than 300 people were sent in, but they only touched the top of the city once. They were quickly driven down and a warrior died.

Now they have each lost half of their battalion of troops. These are not other people's troops, but their own subjects. How can they face the gazes of those women and children when they return from this battle?

This attack from the bottom up is indeed cruel!
Luo Wenda ordered:
"Keep attacking! Lipajia, you personally lead a battalion of troops to attack!"

We have fought to this point, and if we retreat without any results, it will be a huge blow to morale.

Moreover, he could see that the Ubili people were not strong, they just had the advantage of terrain. If they made more efforts at this time, they might be able to defeat them. This would be a great achievement. Not only would the tribe be able to recover, but a lot of spoils could also be seized.

Li Pajia stood in front of 300 people. He took a deep breath, his eyes were firm, and his voice was loud: "Fight for Haotian, be loyal to the emperor, Haotian is great!!"

As his words fell, the atmosphere in the crowd was instantly ignited, and everyone echoed him, shouting like thunder.

After a fanatical mobilization, Kang Xintong brandished his weapon without hesitation and rushed towards the enemy with murderous intent.

At the same time, Hailat was even more ruthless. He shouted the slogan "Kill the enemy and go to heaven, Haotian is great", led the remaining troops of a regiment, and charged towards the hillside without retreating.

The Ubili were much better equipped than the backward Tatars in the east.

Since they were in frequent contact with various tribes from the Seven Rivers and the Central Asian steppes, they were influenced to a certain extent and had relatively good armaments.

However, these armaments were only relative to the Tatars. Facing the powerful Jinhan army, they still seemed powerless. It was just that they had more numbers and occupied the advantage of terrain at this time.

Although the Jin Han people were composed of many tribes, they did not fight in an orderly and methodical manner like the Guiyi Army.

But now, because of the advantages of the Holy Religion and unified organization, the cohesion of the Jinhan people is very high, and they have the "barbaric bravery" common to barbarians all over the world.

If it is possible in the future to discipline and train these Jin Han people according to Han Chinese military tactics and equip them with sophisticated weapons and armor, they will definitely become a powerful force.

Just like the Mongols who came after them, they constantly drew on the slaves they conquered to serve as cannon fodder in the war, or in the time of Wild Boar Skin, they often conscripted various barbarians in the forest to serve as dead soldiers.

These people were barbaric and vicious enough. In order to gain freedom and supplies, they would charge into the battle line without caring about their lives, not to mention the various Jin Han people who worshipped Haotian at that time.
