Chapter 8 The Pursuers Attack
It was only a mile or two away not far away, and Wang Hui went straight to Zhongling County without looking back.
If it weren't for the fact that he, as the commander of the 30,000 army, couldn't break away from the army, I was afraid that he would have driven the war horse away at full speed at this moment.
"The general is not good, there is a large force of Hun cavalry catching up behind."
Wang Hui's lieutenant shouted at him.
At this moment, Wang Hui's brows were furrowed, and he felt a little powerless.
He is not young anymore, and he knew that he would encounter this kind of thing, so he should have been a behind-the-scenes driver with peace of mind from the beginning.
"The ground has been shaken like this, and the general doesn't know that the Hun cavalry has caught up? Need you to remind General Ben? ”
The adjutant general was stunned, and immediately retracted his head and stopped talking.
It was dark all around, and Wang Hui couldn't find a place to hide in the dark night.
"Pass the order, and set up a defensive formation here."
Wang Hui thought about it and decided not to retreat yet.
The Han Dynasty's decades of experience in fighting the Huns told Wang Hui that choosing to flee at this time would bring death one step closer to him.
"Whoa!"
In order to shrink the forces and better defend against the approaching Hun cavalry.
The soldiers of the Han army set up a barrel array, and the sword and shield hands formed a circle on the outermost layer. Behind them were the halberdmen, and at the innermost were the crossbowmen.
As long as the speed of movement is fast enough, you can avoid the charge of the Huns who have just met in front of you to the greatest extent.
Although he had made up his mind to hold on here, Wang Hui still did not really let go of the idea of avoiding this battle.
"Is there any jungle or mountain area near here where the army can hide?"
Wang Hui calmed down and asked the lieutenant general.
The deputy general had just been deflated, and he was still a little worried at the moment, but he was still trying to think about what Wang Hui said.
The two of them spread out the map under the torches and examined it carefully.
"General, there are plains between Mayi City and Zhongling City, and only there are mountains and forests around Mayi City.
The Huns are coming from the south, and we are afraid that there is no way to withdraw there. ”
The adjutant general's words completely extinguished the little hope that Wang Hui had left, and now Wang Hui could only beg for a miracle from heaven.
"General, did you say that the Protector Generals, they would come to our aid?"
Wang Hui laughed contemptuously and said with a dead face.
"Even if you come, it's fifty miles away from Mayi.
It will take five hours for the army to rush with all its might, do you think we can resist the Hun cavalry for five hours? ”
The deputy general's face was also cold, but he was not like Wang Hui.
"General, maybe the Hun cavalry chasing is not very many, we may be able to withstand it."
Wang Hui heard the deputy general say this, and then sighed.
If it is really as the deputy general said, then it is really God's eye-opening.
"Prepare yourself, the enemy is coming."
Feeling the frequency of the earth's shaking faster and faster, Wang Hui knew that the Huns were coming.
Yu Dan and Wolf Tuwu led 50,000 elite Hun cavalry to chase for a while, and then they saw the formation organized by Wang Hui and them.
"I didn't expect this Han man to not want to run away.
It's ridiculous, I only need 10,000 cavalry to break through this battle. ”
The previous humiliation in the valley still did not suppress the arrogance in Shan Xin, but made him more fierce.
The wolf frowned abruptly when he heard this, and said to Yu Dan.
"The eldest prince, the Han people are no longer what they used to be.
Our Hun cavalry has lost too much in this battle, and you and I need to be careful to deal with it. ”
When Yu Shan heard the wolf's abrupt advice, he only gasped twice in his nose and did not say anything against it.
Now he is just a prince, and among the Xiongnu tribes, there are more than five fingers who have the right to inherit the position of Da Shan Yu, and the current Yu Shan cannot afford to offend the first fierce general under the military ministers.
"Then what do you tell the general about how we should deal with it?"
The wolf abruptly observed the barrel array in front of him, and thought for a moment before saying to Yu Dan.
"Prince, if it is safe to be safe, you and I only need to lead a large army to surround these Han troops here.
As long as Da Danyu brings the remaining 50,000 Xiongnu troops, we can immediately attack and contain the Han army with absolute superiority. ”
I can have this patience and insight, and I still remain sober after suffering a big loss, and analyze and judge the situation in front of me.
The first fierce general under the command of this military minister was deeply thoughtful and a little terrifying.
Yu Shan was a little unimpressed, but he did not object.
"According to the general's words, you and I will lead 25,000 cavalry to surround these Han troops."
Yu Dan was able to calm down, which also made the wolf suddenly a little impressed.
"Okay, Da Danyu will return here soon, and then it will be the end of these Han troops."
Wang Hui, who was in the center of the battle array, was suddenly a little surprised to see that the Hun cavalry did not attack at the beginning.
The Huns have always been extremely proud, shouldn't they rush up with a strange scream when they see themselves?
"General, this Hun cavalry has surrounded us, and the number of people is no less than ours."
The deputy general continued to remind Wang Hui on the side.
Wang Hui nodded, then lowered his body and fell to the ground.
"Knock, knock, knock..."
"There is also a group of Hun cavalry coming from behind, this group of Hun cavalry wants to wait until that large army arrives, and then attack us."
This time Wang Hui was even more desperate, the number of Hun cavalry in front of him was not less than his own, but there was still a wave behind him.
"General, what are we going to do?"
The deputy general also lost the last bit of hope, hoping that Wang Hui could come up with another solution.
"I can only hold on.
There is no escape, if you and I can kill the Huns as much as possible, the people in the family may still be treated kindly. ”
Since they can't retreat, the people in the surrendering family will be implicated, and if they choose to die a glorious battle here, Liu Che may still be kind to his family, and it seems that this Han army has no other choice.
After all, the Han people have been running around all their lives for the sake of future generations.
This is a dynasty that bases family affection on any emotion and desire, and this kind of thinking has also created many heroes.
Without letting Wang Hui wait for a long time, the Xiongnu army, which shattered the last bit of hope in his heart, still arrived.
After the military minister led the remaining 50,000 Hun cavalry to arrive here, he saw that Yu Dan and the wolf did not attack, and knew that this was the wolf's sudden idea.
He suddenly felt that his son had grown up a little, and as a monarch, it was very important to speak widely.
At the moment, Yu Shan is doing well.
"Father, General Wolf Turquoise has offered us a plan to await you here.
Erchen thought about it, and if we could reduce it a little, our losses would be reduced a little, so he listened to the advice of General Wolf Tuwu. ”
Yu Dan rushed to the military minister and showed a wave of presence.
The military minister smiled with satisfaction, and then raised his horsewhip and shouted at the surrounding Hun army.
"Sons, the time has come for you to take revenge.
I don't want to see any Han Chinese standing on this land an hour later.
I will not accept any surrender in this battle, and I will slaughter all the Han people in front of me. ”
This was at night, and no one could see the fierce light in the eyes of these Hun cavalry, but this momentum overwhelmed the tens of thousands of Han troops under Wang Hui's command.
Hearing the words of the military ministers, no one took the lead, and all the Hun cavalry launched together and rushed to the Han army battle formation from all directions.
