Chapter 3 The Siege of the Huns

The county seat of Mayi is far from the dragon city of the Huns, and even if the cavalry rushes with all their might, it will take a day and a night, which is not as good as the forest on the edge of Baishan Mountain before.

The dry food brought by the upper and lower armies of the period gate army was enough for the army to eat for ten days, and if there were more harvests on the way, the period gate army could hold on for a longer time.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, and the Hun army was about to reach the valley outside Mayi County, Nie Yi's heart couldn't help but get nervous.

But no one kept looking at him, and no one noticed the subtle changes in his face.

Although the military minister relaxed his vigilance, he still hesitated when he saw the valley outside the city of Mayi County.

Yu Shan immediately stepped forward and asked.

"Father, what's wrong?"

The warlord frowned, then looked at the dense forest around him, shook his head and said nothing, and continued to walk towards the valley.

The sky was already a little dark, which was bound to provide a better cover for the Han army lying in ambush.

As the Xiongnu army continued to go deeper, the military ministers felt more and more that something was wrong, and the surroundings were too quiet.

"Why is there no sound of birds and beasts around?"

Nie Yi's face immediately put on a flattering smile.

"Returning to Dadanyu, this place is too close to the county seat of Mayi, so many of the people in the city hunt here for a living.

In the long run, the birds and beasts in the mountains and forests have become much scarcer, and now the sky is at the turn of white and black, and the beasts are still dormant.

When it really gets dark, it will all come out. ”

Although Yu Shan didn't look at Nie Yi very well, he felt that what Nie Yi said was still very reasonable.

"Father, you see that the same is true of the wild wolves on our grassland, they can't be seen during the day, and they always come out to hunt together until late at night."

The military minister nodded, although he was still a little uneasy, but he continued to march forward.

Seeing that he was about to arrive at the mouth of the valley, the county town of Mayi finally appeared in front of the military ministers and others, and the military ministers put down their hearts.

"Da Dan Yu, the villain will go to the city first, and let the people in the city come out to welcome the great Hun Da Dan Yu.

Just wait a minute. ”

The warlord waved his hand impatiently, then took the mare's milk wine hanging from the saddle and drank it in great gulps.

Seeing that the military ministers were defenseless, Nie Yi immediately waved his horsewhip and quickly ran in the direction of Mayi County.

At this moment, in the mountains and forests on both sides of the valley, a pile of torches suddenly lit up, and a chilling sound of breaking the sky reached the ears of the Huns.

"Oh no, we're in a trap.

Be alert, be alert. ”

Although Gongsun He told Wei Qing that he only had 70,000 foot soldiers, he didn't tell Wei Qing how many slaves he brought with him.

At the moment, there was a shout of killing, and the huge arrows used by the three-bow bed crossbow were fired indiscriminately at the Huns.

The valley is full of Huns, forcing the eyes to shoot a piece.

Not to mention how much damage the three-bow bed crossbow did to people, the military minister saw an arrow longer than a person directly penetrate a war horse, and then did not stop, but pierced through the belly of the war horse.

After passing through five war horses, he fell to the ground. Looking back at the war horses, the horse's belly had all been cut open, and the internal organs and blood flowed all over the ground.

The warlord immediately realized that if he stayed in the valley and let the three-bow crossbow shoot down, his army of hundreds of thousands would be destroyed.

"The front army went forward and went out of the valley.

The rear army broke through the rear and fought their way out of the valley.

Outside, it's the world of our Huns! ”

The military commander ordered a loud shout.

At the sound of the order, the Huns quickly divided into two groups, but to be precise, three waves, because in the back valley there was still a cut of the Hun army.

Seeing that the Xiongnu army was about to rush out of the valley, at this time, two armies poured into the two sides of the valley.

These two armies were led by Han Anguo and Li Xi, and the two Han armies blocked the mouth to the death.

Shield-bearers with shields stood at the forefront, followed by crossbowmen who kept shooting arrows into it.

In fact, if Zhang Yuan was to command this battle, he would definitely set fire to the mountain.

After all, at this time, there is no way to set fire to the mountain and sit in prison.

Then let the 300,000 troops all block the sides, surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, Zhang Yuan didn't believe it, this Huns can still put on wings and fly out.

At present, there are only tens of thousands of troops blocking both sides of the valley, but in fact, the number of Huns inside is more than the number of these two armies.

Han Anguo was dressed in armor and held a sword in his hand that was not very useful, and looked at all this in front of him coldly.

The military ministers led people to break through from the front, while his son Yu Dan led people to attack Li Xi's line from the other side of the valley.

But after a few shocks, the effect is not obvious.

It was already dark, and the military minister was already old after all, and he couldn't see clearly the weak defense in front of him.

Seeing that the Huns continued to fall under the arrows, the military ministers shouted loudly in their hearts.

"Everyone retreated to the middle of the valley, and we rushed out in a hurry."

In the middle of the valley is the place where the three-bow bed crossbow shoots the most arrows, because of the fear of those crossbow arrows, so when the Huns attacked at the beginning, it was far away from the middle of the valley.

In this way, the advantage of the Hun cavalry was gone, and the military commander knew what the advantage of the Huns was, so he had to lengthen the preparation distance for the charge regardless of casualties.

If Li Guang was here, he would definitely be able to see the thoughts of the military ministers at a glance, but it was Han Anguo in front of him.

Although Han Anguo is a famous general, most of the battles he fought were all offensive or defensive battles, and he knew how terrible the charge of the Huns in the north was.

Of course, there was also a reason why it was dark, and Han Anguo could not see that the Huns were pulling away and preparing to charge.

People on both sides could only judge the situation by the faint light of the fire.

This is also the reason why Han Anguo and others formulated this plan, if they fought in the dark, only a few Han army camps did not move and held their own positions, so that they would not hurt their own people during the attack.

Said then it was fast.

Although the military ministers are very old, their bravery is still there.

The Huns worshipped warriors, and when the military ministers were young, they were also famous.

At present, he led nearly 70,000 cavalry, brandished his scimitar, and constantly accelerated his speed to rush towards the front Han army's position.

These Hun cavalrymen kept howling in their mouths, not knowing what they were talking about, but it made the surrounding Han soldiers a little frightened.

The horses under the crotch of the Hun cavalry at the front have war armor in front of them, which is equipped to protect the war horses.

The Huns lacked iron weapons, and such a group of cavalry was also the family of the military ministers, and they were the only heavy cavalry among the Huns.

As the distance got closer and closer, Han Anguo began to realize that something was wrong and immediately shouted loudly.

"The crossbowmen shoot arrows quickly, and the sword and shield bearers have resisted me.

Those who retreat will not be spared. ”

Then the war drums behind Han Anguo also began to beat, stirring up waves of sound.
