Chapter 237: Teasing You
When King Hutu got the news, he immediately rushed to the king's tent.
Don't look at the two of them joining forces before setting off, but many things are clearly distinguished.
The march is also the army of the evil king in the front, and the army of the king of Hutu is behind, and the division is clear.
Even the barracks were built in two.
In fact, this is also to avoid conflicts, and there are actually many contradictions within the Xiongnu.
The territory of King Hutu and King Hun overlapped, and disputes often arose over pasture grazing.
"King Hugh Tu, you're finally here."
The Evil King waited in the king's tent for half an hour.
"I said, why are you so cowardly, and you can believe what the Han people say?"
King Hutu was not very satisfied, and the Evil King directly disrupted the plan.
Originally, they were going to march today, but they had to be delayed for a day.
"See for yourself, and then talk to me after you've read it."
The Evil King threw the crumpled paper to the King of Hugh.
The general content of the above was already known to King Hugh Tu, and the Evil King just wanted King Hugh Tu to see the tone of Zhang Yuan's credit.
After King Hugh Tu finished reading it, he was obviously more angry than the Evil King.
"What kind of thing is he, why is he arrogant to us.
We have 200,000 troops in our hands, and we rushed to join Da Dan Yu in one place, I don't believe that we can't defeat the Han army! ”
The Evil King shook his head and sighed.
"Now that the Han has known our movements, the Han cavalry in the col is estimated to be here to monitor us.
In this case, if there are really 200,000 Han troops in the surrendered city, do you think we can smoothly join Dadanyu? ”
"So what do you say now? It is difficult to achieve grazing in this broken place. ”
The Evil King didn't have an idea for a while.
Now the 200,000 Hun army is indeed in a dilemma.
"Do you want to send someone to test the strength of the Han army in front of us first?"
King Hutu didn't believe the letter written by Zhang Yuan, and he didn't want to be stopped by the enemy army who didn't know the number of people on Junji Mountain.
"Okay, you and I will each send 20,000 cavalry, give it a try."
"Who will lead the army?"
"The first warrior of my Evil Sect, the Vulture Bone, is born with divine power, and the army led by him will definitely succeed."
......
The roaring horn resounded throughout Junji Mountain, and the Han army camp ten miles away naturally heard it, not to mention that the Han army scouts had been watching the movements of the Huns.
"The general is not good, the Huns have gathered a large army and are ready to attack us!"
Zhang Cigong glared at the scouts who came in, and then ordered.
"Although our task is to hold back the Hun reinforcements, there is no need to make direct contact with them.
Pass the order, immediately pull out, we will let the Hun army eat the soil behind our ass! ”
"Whoa."
Li Shuo also knew that their vanguard army was not a vanguard army in the ordinary sense.
Therefore, there was not the slightest doubt about Zhang Cigong's order.
10,000 people fought with an army of 200,000 Huns, even if the battle loss ratio was more than 1 to 1, the person was gone.
The 10,000 vanguard cavalry, who were simply equipped and did not carry much with them, quickly gathered together.
As for those scouts, they don't have much to do with Zhang Cigong, so it doesn't matter if they don't evacuate.
"Let's go, brothers, let's go to the Hun army and taunt it, and then retreat!"
"Yes!"
Zhang Cigong's army is a bandit.
He can treat the soldiers as his own brothers.
10,000 Han cavalry came out from the pass between East Junji Mountain and West Junji Mountain.
rushed straight towards the Hun camp.
Because the Han cavalry was condescending, the Huns were able to clearly see the scale of the Han cavalry.
The Evil King and the King of Hutu were directly confused.
"There are only 10,000 or 20,000 people in this Han army, am I mistaken, how dare they attack our army's military formation."
"You read that right, the Evil King, I also saw 10,000 or 20,000 horses.
I knew they had so few men and horses, and they should have attacked their camp last night. ”
The Evil King originally wanted to say a word to King Hugh Tu, but at this time, the enemy army was in front, and it was not good to have a contradiction, so he didn't open his mouth to speak again.
The scouts of the Han army have surrounded the camp of the Hun army, and they are still thinking of a night attack, but I am afraid that before you reach the camp of the Han army, the camp of others will be empty.
"Prepare the vultures for battle!"
The Hun heralds on one side beat the animal skin drum that represented the battle.
The vulture of the Evil Sect is a tall, fat-covered man.
At this time, there is no muscle, the fatter people are, the more popular they are, and their fat is not fat, but represents strength.
"Ahh
The vulture slammed his chest with both hands, then picked up the mace on either side of the horse, roared and rushed out.
When the 40,000 Huns heard this, they also rushed out together.
On the Han army's side, Zhang Cigong saw that the Xiongnu army had been dispatched, and immediately let the heralds around him blow the horn.
The cavalry at the rear of the Han cavalry immediately turned around, and the rear team changed to the front team and began to withdraw.
However, the speed of the Han army's withdrawal was very slow, and Zhang Cigong said that he wanted to mock and mock the Xiongnu army, and it was not his style to flee suddenly.
Seeing that the Han army began to retreat, the vulture inevitably began to despise it in his heart.
However, in order not to slip away from his hands for this great opportunity to seize the battle merits, he urged the army to speed up a little more.
"General, it's almost!"
Li Shuo was afraid that Zhang Cigong did not grasp the distance between him and the Xiongnu army, so he reminded him repeatedly.
"Everybody's shooting these pickles with a crossbow!"
The Huns used bows, and the Han army used crossbows, and the two weapons were very different in range.
Zhang Cigong was like using several waves of strong crossbow shots to make the Huns suffer.
All of a sudden, a dense mass of crossbow arrows appeared in mid-air.
The Huns did not have shields, and could only rely on the weapons in their hands to accurately hit crossbow arrows.
The vulture roared wildly and brandished its mace with one hand.
He is worthy of being the first warrior of the Evil Division, this mace is eighty pounds, and ordinary people are a little difficult to mention.
But he was able to dance with one hand, and this power was unmatched by no man.
But no matter how many Huns there are, now they haven't even bitten the tail of the Han army.
It is only on their side that suffers.
"Give them another volley, then speed up and retreat!"
Seeing that the speed of the Huns had not slowed down, Zhang Cigong was not willing to take risks, so he immediately changed his previous thoughts.
When the second wave of dense arrows appeared in the sky, the hearts of the Huns had already been stimulated to hemorrhage.
This is a nation that has been fighting, to be fair, if the level of equipment is on the same line, the Han army will definitely not be able to defeat the Xiongnu army.
The bully is that you can't equip it!
"Defend!"
The vulture also knew that it could not cause too many casualties, so he roared wildly.
It's just that this time he provided a good opportunity for the Han cavalry to escape.
On the steppe, the cavalry and the cavalry chased each other, and the competition was whose horse was good and endurance.
Because of the horseshoe, the endurance of the horses of the Han Dynasty was already comparable to that of the horses of the Huns, but the speed was worse.
The Xiongnu army has been chasing wildly, and it is possible to catch up with the Han cavalry.
But they chose to stop defending, and Zhang Cigong seized this opportunity and immediately pulled the distance away for several miles.
"Hahaha, we have at least killed hundreds of Huns."
Many were fighting the Huns for the first time, and their excitement was needless to say.
"Don't take it lightly, the Huns are not so weak, we just commanded them properly this time and caught them off guard."
Experienced veterans immediately admonished the recruits who were on the battlefield for the first time.
"General, what are we going to do next?"
Li Shuo asked Zhang Cigong.
"Twenty miles away from the Hun army, let the scouts closely monitor the movements of the Huns."
"Whoa."
Because it is a mountain road, it is very wide, but because of the mountain, it is also tortuous.
Zhang Cigong led 10,000 vanguard troops to stop and rest after passing a corner, waiting for the scouts to bring the latest news.
The Huns chased for ten miles and found that there was no trace of the Han army, so they had to retreat first.
In the tent of the evil king, the vultures knelt and pleaded guilty.
The evil king had a gloomy face, and the king of Hugh Tu was completely watching a play.
The people who died were all subordinates of the Evil King, and he didn't feel sorry for the King at all.
It doesn't matter if you die in a war, it's just that this way of dying is too embarrassing.
"You have 40,000 of the most elite troops, and your crotch is the best war horse on the grassland, and you can't catch up with those Han people riding Han horses?"
"The king, the last general is willing to be punished!"
The Evil King wanted to do the same as the captive, and directly let the vultures be dragged down and killed.
But he can't, the big war is imminent, and there are not many generals under him, and most of the rest are defeated under the vultures.
Killing the vultures now is tantamount to cutting off one's own arm.
"If you can't offset the merits in the next war, then don't go back to the Evil Mountain."
"King Xie."
Knowing that he would not be punished again, the vulture immediately withdrew from the king's tent.
King Hugh Tu saw that he didn't see it when he watched the play, so he remembered what he was doing.
"Evil King, do we continue to stop here now or march forward?"
A small collision between the Hun army and the Han cavalry, although the Huns suffered a loss, but also let the evil king of Hun figure out Zhang Cigong's thoughts.
"Moving forward, it now seems that the Han cavalry is trying to slow us down.
What Zhang Yuanxin said may be true, but the Han army may not have reached the surrendered city by now.
As long as we speed up and join Dadanyu earlier, victory will belong to our Huns after all. ”
"Okay, I'll go back and give the order to march!"
The Hun army packed up its things and began to march again, and this time another half an hour passed.
Seeing that the time was about to come, they still hadn't reached the boundary of Xijunji Mountain, although it was only the distance of the first five miles, but the five miles were like a moat now.
As soon as the Huns moved, the scouts of the Han army knew about it.
In the jungle, someone immediately rode a horse and ran towards the place where Zhang Cigong and them rested.
The Huns were also helpless, they had the intention to clear the surrounding Han army scouts, but it was bound to delay for a longer time.
200,000 people and hundreds of people played hide-and-seek in this mountain, and the time lost by the Huns was not a day or two.
"General, the Huns are ready to march."
Zhang Cigong smiled, he planned to humiliate another wave of Huns.
"Brothers, don't rest, we'll fight the Huns later!"
This kind of terrain doomed the 200,000 troops to be impossible to spread out, and the habit of the Huns must be that the large army protected the cattle and sheep in the middle.
There will not be too many troops in the front, and those at the back are the logistics troops who remain to pack up their tents.
The use of cattle and sheep as military rations was also a last resort.
After all, as soon as the expedition was launched, I didn't know how long it would take, and marching with live cattle and sheep to provide rations for the army also reduced the burden on the Huns.
It's not like the Han army carries up to half a month's rations, once the supply of grain and grass is not available, then the calves will be finished directly.
Examples of defeat in the Central Plains War due to lack of food and grass have abound for thousands of years.
But the Huns have never heard of the lack of grain and grass, they slaughter cattle and kill sheep, and when the cattle and sheep are gone, they drink mare's milk, and when the mare's milk is gone, they can eat grass and roots.
When the Xiongnu army had just marched forward for five or six miles, and had just arrived at the intersection of East Junji Mountain and West Junji Mountain, the 10,000 vanguard army led by Zhang Cigong appeared.
"Kill!"
When the vanguard army appeared in front of the Huns, they were still seven or eight miles away.
But the distance of seven or eight miles could not give the Hun army a time to react.
The cavalry could travel 800 miles in eight hours a day.
The speed of the battle is a little faster, and the battle of life and death does not require them to think about the feelings of the warhorse.
The distance of seven or eight miles is less than half an hour.
The speed of the Han army was so fast that the Hun Evil King had just received the news, and Zhang Cigong's side had already made contact with the Huns at the front.
"Kill all these hundreds, and then we'll leave!"
The Huns sent out only a few hundred people to explore the road in front, and these hundreds of people were also bait.
The evil king thought that when he marched, a few hundred people only needed to drag the Han army for a while, but most of the Xiongnu army behind was not ready for battle, and they were still packing up their things to drive the cattle and sheep.
The 10,000 vanguard army quickly cleaned up the hundreds of Huns, and calmly harvested their heads, and even the war horses were taken away with them.
By the time the Vulture arrived with two thousand men, there was only a herd of headless corpses on the ground.
"Ah, I'm going to kill these damn Han people!"
The abrupt bones were really angry, but when he wanted to find the traces of the Han army, he found that the 10,000 Han army had disappeared again.
He was brave, but not reckless.
After clearing the battlefield, the vulture went back to tell the evil king.
The reason why he wanted to clean up the battlefield was because he did not want his compatriots to be trampled on by his people after death.
If the Evil King and the King of Hutu want to continue to march, they will definitely step directly on these corpses, as for dignity?
There is no such thing as dignity for the vanquished.
