Chapter 537: Cavalry Attack

Deng Ai and Shi Bao waited in the valley for four days, they were a little bored waiting, the battle on the Lao Ye Ridge side was fierce, and they were as idle as no one, this situation really made the Yue Cavalry Battalion and the Tun Cavalry Battalion scratch their hearts like a hundred claws, and their hearts were itching.

But Cao Liang's orders are like a mountain, Deng Ai and Shi Bao no one dares to disobey, as Cao Liang's status grows, his prestige in the army is also increasing, as Cao Liang's initial followers, Deng Ai Shi Bao and Cao Liang's relationship is extraordinary, but no matter how close the relationship, there is also a difference between the upper and lower dignity, and now Cao Liang, who has a distinguished position, has become the object of their high mountain admiration, military orders are like mountains, Cao Liang's words can only obey orders.

However, facts have proved that Cao Liang often makes the most correct decisions, and now the Pingbei Army is all convinced of Cao Liang.

Cao Liang asked them to wait, then they could only hide their whereabouts in the valley and wait silently, not daring to complain at all.

Finally, the order to attack came, and at this time, the Yue cavalry battalion and the tun cavalry battalion, which had been suppressed for a long time, were like wild horses that had escaped from the brink and like a flood that burst the embankment, running wildly and pouring for thousands of miles.

The two cavalry teams, like two sharp knives, stabbed fiercely towards the Huns' camp.

Originally, the Huns returned to the aid of Zishi to advance rapidly, and they did not plan to camp on the way at all, but after marching to Lao Ye Ling, they encountered the stubborn resistance of the Wei army, which made the Xiongnu's march have to be suspended, and the Huns fought fiercely for three days in a row, and the Huns also needed to eat, drink and sleep, so Liu Bao had to order to camp on the spot under Lao Ye Ling to ensure that the army ate and sleeped.

At first, the morale of the Huns was still very high, thinking that they could easily break through the Wei army's resistance and return to the city of Zishi. However, the battle dragged on for three days, and although the Huns carried out round after round of strong attacks on the Wei army's positions, they were never able to break through the Wei army's defensive line.

The morale of the Huns was hit hard by the setbacks for several days, and they also knew that the longer the time dragged on, the more unfavorable the situation would be for them, and the city of Zishi was in danger, but the defense line of the Wei army was like an iron gate, which stood in front of them and could not be crossed.

In this case, the Huns became more and more impatient and desperate the more they fought, and by the fourth day, the intensity of the attack had been sharply reduced, and even the Huns themselves felt that it was difficult to break through the Wei army's defense line.

Some subordinates suggested to Liu Bao to take a detour to Zishi, Liu Bao was silent, is it too late to change the route of the march now?

It is not impossible to go to Zishi from other paths, but compared to this road in Lao Yeling, it will take at least two or three days to walk on other roads, not to mention whether there will be an ambush by the Wei army on the other road, just talking about Zishi City, whether it can be defended is a question.

The Wei army's rock-solid defense line made the Huns feel hopeless, but the last straw that really broke the camel's back was the shouts of Liu Yuan and Liu Hong.

Zishi City is lost, their family is gone, all the people of the Hun Army at this moment are dumbfounded, their hearts are like ashes, no one comes to doubt Liu Yuan and Liu Hong's words, because Liu Yuan and Liu Hong have always stayed in Zishi City, if Zishi City is not lost, they will not be captured, it is impossible for them to come here.

Now that they are here, even if they don't speak, it is enough to prove that Zishi City is lost.

The aura of despair spread among the Huns, and the momentum they had to rush forward even with their lives disappeared in this instant, and the loss of Zishi City made them lose the momentum to move forward and lose the direction of their progress.

Mourning is greater than heart death, and the Huns have completely lost the spirit of fighting to the death before.

Cao Liang saw this opportunity and decisively gave the order to attack.

The attack of the Yue cavalry battalion and the tun cavalry battalion was decisive and sharp, completely killing the Huns by surprise.

When the camp was first set up, Liu Bao still paid more attention to the movements of the Wei cavalry and took precautions against possible sneak attacks, but as time went by, it was the infantry of the Wei army that had been fighting with the Xiongnu army, and even when the situation was the most critical, the Wei cavalry did not appear.

Therefore, the Huns seemed to be a little paralyzed, thinking that only the Wei infantry was the Wei army infantry who blocked them at Lao Yeling this time, and the Wei cavalry did not appear at all.

But when the Wei cavalry suddenly came out, the Huns were suddenly stunned, what's going on, did this Wei cavalry fall from the sky, why didn't there even be a little sign in advance.

Although there was a distance from the valley where the Wei cavalry was hiding to the Huns' camp, the Wei cavalry was fast enough that such a small distance was only a matter of moments, and when the Huns realized that the catastrophe was coming, they had not been able to organize any effective defense, and the Wei cavalry had already killed them in close proximity.

The number of Hun cavalry is much more than that of the Wei cavalry, even if it is after these four days of fighting, the Huns have lost a lot of men and horses, but in terms of the total number, it is still far more than the Wei cavalry.

In a normal battle, the number of cavalry is also the key to determining the outcome of a battle, and the number of teams several times that of the opposing team must have a high probability of winning.

But at this moment, the state of the Hun cavalry can not be described as normal, they have no sense of defense against the Wei army that suddenly killed, so that the Wei cavalry has rushed to the front of the Hun camp, and most of the Hun cavalry can not find where their horses are.

The reason for this chaotic scene is that in these three days of fighting, the Hun cavalry has been unable to fight on horseback, and can only abandon their horses to fight on foot, so they simply put all the war horses together in captivity, while the cavalry is on foot up the mountain and engaged in foot combat with the Wei army.

But at this moment, when the Wei cavalry rushed over, many Hun cavalry remembered their war horses and ran frantically to the place where the war horses were tied.

But the position of the tethered horses was far away from them after all, and before they could run in front of the tethered horse stake, the Wei cavalry had already rushed into the camp of the Huns like lightning and began to rush and kill unscrupulously.

The Hun camp was in chaos, and the Yue cavalry battalion and the tun cavalry camp attacked the Huns from the east and west, killing the Huns and making them embarrassed.

Deng Ai and Shi Bao fought very resolutely, they had already formulated the route of the attack in advance, and after launching the attack, the Yue cavalry battalion and the Tun cavalry battalion acted completely according to the plan, and in the chaotic Xiongnu camp, they went on a rampage in an orderly manner, no matter who stood in front of them, they would all be killed.
