Chapter 217: The New and Old Forces of the Huns

At the same time that Xu Huang defeated King Youxian, Huang Yu and Yang Feng fought against King Youxian and other kings, the 15,000 Xiongnu soldiers of Hu Chuquan and Liu Bao, and the 15,000 old royal army of King Zuo Xian and others also started a fierce battle.

On the south side of the Tuntian Army under the command of Xu Rong, it was originally under the pressure of 25,000 Hun soldiers including King Zuoxian.

However, as Xu Rong ordered the two wings to attack, the old Xiongnu court had to draw a large number of troops and horses to carry out a roundabout outflanking operation.

Therefore, King Zuo Xian left the three kings and continued to harass the great array, gathering the remaining 15,000 soldiers and horses, and facing Huchuquan and Liu Bao, who were basically equal in the number of troops in the country.

Cavalry engagements were often chaotic and tragic, with a large number of casualties in a short period of time. Both coaches are the type who think they are good at strategy, so they are not in a hurry to engage in a war of attrition that will quickly weaken their own strength.

Hu Chuquan and the old royal court Zuoxian King looked at each other for a while, the two sides not only represented the new Xiliang army and the old Xiongnu royal court, but also represented two different development paths.

King Zuo Xian sighed, he had grown up watching Yu Fuluo and Hu Chuquan. One of these two people is good at martial arts, and the other is slightly wise, and they can be regarded as the best among the younger generation of the Huns in terms of ability.

However, Yu Fuluo died in a daze, and Hu Chuquan took refuge in Tong Yuan and made a false order.

He also had his responsibility for this matter, when he fell for the tricks of Tong Yuan and Geng Qing, and chose to attack these children who broke away for some trade interests. In the end, Tong Yuan took a big advantage.

The Han people are really treacherous! It seems that when they were stationed in Xiayang, they had bad intentions. Maybe the murder of Yu Fuluo was also related to Tong Yuan.

Thinking of this, the elderly King Zuo Xian suddenly realized. "That's right, all this is a conspiracy of the Han people!"

King Zuo Xian sent an envoy to invite Hu Chuquan to talk, and Hu Chuquan knew that King Zuo Xian would definitely rely on the old and sell the old, and this conversation would not lead to anything.

However, as the new Xiongnu Shan Yu, he still has to show some royal spirit, at least to teach the head of the old royal court a lesson. With the mentality of suppressing King Zuo Xian, Hu Chuquan agreed to talk before the battle.

Hu Chuquan scolded when he saw King Zuoxian, especially emphasizing that his subordinates rebelled in front of him and killed his father, and today he will avenge his blood!

King Zuo Xian said: "Virtuous nephew! The past grievances are not my doing, and those things will not be mentioned for the time being, but you must think about the future of the Huns. ”

Hu Chuquan said angrily: "Killing my father, according to the old way in the grassland, is this the future you say?" This kind of future is nothing! ”

Zuo Xianwang said: "There is one thing, I don't know if you have thought about it carefully. Who killed your brother Yufro? ”

"You must know that Tong rebelled against his words and did not believe it, when he entered Hedong two years ago, he sent people to make friends with me and other old kings, just to annex you. Giving you this single position is simply false, in fact, it is also to take down the entire Huns. ”

Hu Chuquan said: "The grassland pursues the strong of the weak, and if you have this strength, you will do the corresponding thing." Mao Dunshan did this, and General Pingbei did the same. ”

King Zuo Xian hurriedly said: "But you are a Huns!" Can't you see that it was the rebel who murdered your brother Yufro? ”

Of course, Hu Chuquan knew who did it in his heart, and he sneered: "Your words today can only prove that you are a hunted marmot, and only the weak will mess around here!"

After he finished speaking, he beat his horse and returned to the battle, and the Hun soldiers who belonged to him saw his appearance, estimated that he had taken the upper peak, and immediately cheered to greet him.

King Zuo Xian was a little surprised, this Hu Chuquan was indifferent to Tong Rebellion's plot to kill Yu Fuluo! His plan fell through.

Just as he watched Hu Chuquan's figure go away, he suddenly remembered that at that time, Yu Fuluo and Hu Chuquan came to negotiate with him. When they left, this Hu Chuquan looked uncertain and suspicious, which was completely different from today's arrogance.

"Who attacked them on the way back? He thought about King Youxian, and he also thought of Tong Yuan, but he didn't think about him. Isn't that right? ”

Hu Chuquan had already returned to the formation, and Liu Bao stepped forward and asked, "Why didn't Shan Yu take his head?" This man killed my grandfather and my father, and it was an unforgivable sin. ”

Hu Chuquan said: "This person relies on the old and sells the old, and has been talking about the future, according to his set, it has not been for hundreds of years."

"I wanted to take his head, but the two tribes are watching, and I can't bully him too much. The glorious mission of killing him in a moment will be handed over to you! ”

Liu Bao gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'm going to kill this beast with my own hands!"

King Zuo Xian also knew that this battle must be won, otherwise a large number of Huns would fall to the false Shan Yu of Huchuquan. He never expected that the young man in front of him would do such a thing for the sake of rights.

In that case, he didn't need any more tolerance. He doesn't care who makes the order, but this kind of jackal must be eliminated, otherwise the future of the Huns will be even more obscure.

Liu Bao led 5,000 cavalry to attack first, and King Zuo Xian ordered a group of cavalry to block his impact, and then dispatched 5,000 cavalry to maneuver and attack Liu Bao from the side.

Liu Bao's front and flank encountered the enemy at the same time, and there was a tendency to be unable to support it in a short period of time.

Later, Hu Chuquan saw that instead of letting people directly support Liu Bao, he sent 4,000 people each to flank from the left and right flanks of the scene to carry out a larger detour.

One of the characteristics of cavalry battles is that the scene is relatively chaotic, but the fighters are fleeting, and either side will take a detour, and the other side will take a detour to try to attack the flank.

The combat position of the Huchuquan Department was chosen by Xu Rong. In the roar of the northwest wind, the dust of tens of thousands of cavalry obscured the vision of Zuo Xian's royal department.

Even if King Zuo Xian could predict that the opponent would carry out round after round of roundabout side attacks, he could not predict the timing and strength.

In order to avoid being too passive in the dust and putting his own side in a static and beaten position, he also sent 2,500 men each to make a detour.

He sent fewer troops because there were 6,000 troops fighting Liu Bao head-on, which was 1,000 more than Liu Bao. In addition, his vision was limited, so he did not dare to take too many risks, so he had to leave 4,000 men as a reserve force.

There were only 2,000 people left on Huchuquan's side, but it was these extra 2,000 people who completely changed the situation on the battlefield.

In the dust, the Hun soldiers who made a detour to the south encountered the soldiers and horses of the old royal court. As soon as the two sides met, they knew what the batch was coming to do, and since they were all coming in a roundabout, they would take a detour again.

So they each left fifteen hundred men to fight, and the rest of the cavalry again maneuvered to the flanks, trying to move to the flanks of the opposing side.

The two roundabout troops and horses met again, this time it was two thousand five hundred against one thousand, and there was no need to divide the troops to make a roundabout, and they could be surrounded by attacking directly.
