Shuofang City.

The wind is gloomy.

King Hun and King Hutu led 50,000 Hun cavalry, five miles outside the city, lined up a large camp of 50,000 cavalry, waiting for the arrival of the Chu army.

The Xiongnu is a 10,000-horse unit. Under it, it is a thousand rides, a hundred rides.

Five Huns 10,000 cavalry, this is also a large-scale battle in the north.

The Hun cavalry rode on a war horse by themselves, and carried two or three horses on the side, carrying a large amount of goods and bags.

If the city can be defended, it will be defended, and if it cannot be defended, it will abandon the city and flee, and return to the prairie.

...

Chu Tianxiu, Li Yu, and the generals of the Chu army led 50,000 new troops to Shuofang City.

There were still three miles away from the Hun army formation, and it gradually stopped.

"5 battalions of 10,000 cavalry... The Huns are out of the city, ready to fight us in the wild! ”

Chu Tianxiu was a little surprised, and said with a smile.

For Da Chu, if he occupies a city, he will definitely not leave the city. Instead, with a strong city, with spears and bows and arrows, he fought against the attacking enemy.

The whole army of the Xiongnu went out of the city, which saved him the hard battle of attacking the fortified city.

However, for the Huns, this was the most normal tactic.

Nor can the Huns be expected to abandon their best cavalry scattering and harassment tactics, and instead fight the defensive battles that they are not good at.

It is far better to let them fire arrows on the top of the city than to run around in the field.

Tens of thousands of Hun cavalry rushed in the field, which could be attacked and defended, and the lethality would be greater.

Li Yu looked at the Hun army and said to Chu Tianxiu: "Husband, the strength of the two armies of the enemy and us is about the same, I will lead a heavy cavalry and break through directly in the middle?" ”

The strength of the two sides is about the same, and with the military strength of Da Chu, there is no need to adopt any special tactics, just go directly.

Chu Tianxiu drank lightly:

"Okay, Madame led 10,000 heavy cavalry as the front army, and the awl formation.

With 20,000 infantry chariots, 10,000 each, divided into two battalions on the left and right, to protect the rear flanks of the heavy cavalry, and prevent the Hun light cavalry from harassing them.

I stayed in the infantry chariot camp, commanding in the center.

20,000 gunpowder guns and light cavalry were waiting for the opportunity to move.

The army is arrayed, slowly moving forward, and attacking head-on! ”

Li Yu nodded slightly, and closed his superb face armor.

She was covered in the finest armor of 100 steel, even her mount.

She came to the camp of the heavy cavalry and began to command 10,000 heavy cavalry, forming an awl and sharp knives, and slowly approaching the Huns.

...

Seeing that, the 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Chu army slowly approached.

The 50,000-strong cavalry battalion of the Huns was slightly in a commotion.

This new army is completely different from the Great Chu border army that they often deal with.

The ordinary cavalry of the Chu army, that is, war horses and light leather armor, are actually similar to their Huns. At most, the leather armor is better, and the iron knife is sharper. However, the Huns had superb riding skills and superb bow horses, and their advantages were not small.

The cavalry on both sides met and fought. It's hard to say whether you'll win or lose, depending on the level of the generals.

And the new army of Da Chu in front of him is too different.

The 10,000 cavalry in the center were all covered in steel armor, from head to toe. And the horses under their crotches, all the same.

Under the sun, the light is shining, extremely dazzling.

These steel armors are unusually tough, and the thickness is not too thick. The total weight added is also the weight of a person, which is within the weight of the horse.

Under their feet, they stepped on stirrups. In his hand, he holds a halberd.

Halberds like a forest!

"It's... What kind of armor is this? ”

The Evil King's eyes widened, and he swallowed.

The whole body is covered with steel armor, which is like a turtle shell, and there is no place to start.

It's crazy to look at!

However, the Huns did not panic too much.

It's good to win.

If you can't win, you can run, this is their most common method, and there is no shame.

"One corps is resisting in front, and the rest are attacking on the left and right flanks!"

"Don't panic, don't mess around. Hold your ground, wait for the Chu army to come up, and then launch a cavalry shot, shooting while retreating... Keep your distance, stay fifty paces away from them, and don't get chased! ”

"Bow and arrow!"

"Prepare ——!"

The generals of the Hun army of the Hun Dynasty roared.

The Xiongnu army raised their bows and arrows one after another, pulled up the full moon bow, aimed at the most powerful Chu army's heavy cavalry, and then waited for them to enter the firing range.

Wait, wait!

Their arms were aching as they waited, and they didn't wait for the heavy cavalry to come into their range.

...

Li Yu led the 10,000 Chu army to ride a little slowly, and it took a while to reach a distance of 100 steps from the Xiongnu army.

Heavy riding, the weight is too high to run for a long time, it is necessary to slow down and reserve enough explosive strength for the horse.

Naturally, it doesn't go too fast.

"Prepare, accelerate ——!"

Li Yu's eyes stared at the Xiongnu tightly, and at a hundred paces, he snorted softly.

Diel, follow her side.

The 10,000 heavy cavalry finally walked slowly, began to slowly exert their strength, and ran in small steps.

From slow to fast, like a light rain... But in the blink of an eye, it turned into a downpour.

Heavy cavalry charged.

At a hundred paces away, they were still a little raindrop. After entering fifty steps, it was already a violent wind and waves, rushing towards the Huns.

The speed of the heavy cavalry, which was under the full speed of the charge, was not much slower than that of the light cavalry.

"Boom!"

Great earthquake tremors.

It was like a landslide, and they were all stunned.

The Hun light cavalry had never seen a charge of heavy cavalry, and this was their first personal experience of what a heavy cavalry corps was.

This kind of power is much stronger than that of light cavalry.

"Shoot ——!"

"Shoot the arrow!"

The Evil King reacted from the shock and hurriedly roared.

Bang!

Bang!

Tens of thousands of arrows flew out and threw them at the heavy cavalry regiment.

The Hun light cavalry in front threw out the bows and arrows in their hands and hurriedly retreated. The Hun cavalry in the rear had not yet understood what was going on, and looked curiously, but did not begin to retreat.

The Huns, a cavalry regiment of 10,000 men at the front, looked a little crowded and chaotic.

The heavy cavalry legion, the cavalry swooped down and rushed into thirty paces, which had soared to peak speed.

The powerful impact potential energy can't be stopped at all.

A large rain of arrows fell from the sky, falling on the steel armor of them and their war horses, and they were directly bounced away.

At most, a dimple was left, and even if a very small number of Hun strong bows were lucky enough to wear the steel armor, they would be stuck in the steel armor and could not penetrate deep into the flesh and bones. And this possibility is very small.

When a round of arrows fell, only three or five of the heavy cavalry fell because of the horses' hooves, and the rest were unscathed.

10,000 heavy cavalry crashed directly into the phalanx of a Hun light cavalry and stabbed a large hole. It's like cutting a melon, without resistance, and it is directly pierced.

"Puff~——!"

Hundreds of Hun cavalry at the forefront were directly cut melons.

The knives in their hands couldn't cut the Great Chu heavy cavalry at all, but the Great Chu heavy cavalry dealt with them with a halberd, and even directly crashed into the air with heavy armor horsepower.

"Ahh

"Run!"

The Hun cavalry battalion in front of it collapsed directly, and tens of thousands of Hun light cavalry turned around and fled desperately.

The four Hun cavalry regiments on the left and right flanks were also preparing to make a detour to the left and right rear to sneak attack, and they were all stunned when they saw this tragic situation of the Hun cavalry regiment in front of them.

Collapse with a single face?

The armies of infantry chariots on the left and right flanks pressed up, these chariots were all steel armor, with spears and bayonets, and the soldiers were all gunpowder gunmen, and they could not take advantage of them at all.

"Withdraw~!"

Where did the evil king dare to press his remaining Xiongnu army, and directly gave up the attack.

"Hurry up and escape~!"

The escape of King Hugh Tu was no slower than that of the Evil King.

In the blink of an eye, the four cavalry regiments of the Huns turned around and fled, abandoning the 10,000-strong Hun regiment that was cut into melons, abandoning Shuofang City, and rushing towards the steppe.

Don't do it again, in case they are entangled by the light cavalry of the Chu army behind, they will have trouble running if they want to.

Li Yu led the heavy cavalry regiment and directly crushed a Xiongnu 10,000-person corps, and did not pursue the rest of the four Xiongnu armies.

Heavy cavalry can only charge in a short range of surprise attacks, breaking through enemy positions in field battles, and is not suitable for long-distance pursuits. If you can't catch up, you can't chase after it.

The Hun light cavalry did not dare to shoot at the heavy cavalry.

In addition to the halberd charge, the heavy cavalry also carried bows and arrows. Shoot arrows at each other, one side wears heavy armor, and it is clear who dies.

"General, do you want to chase and kill?"

The generals of the Chu army looked at Chu Tianxiu, whether to send powder gun light cavalry to pursue.

"Let them escape!"

"Advance Shuofang City, repair the city defense of Shuofang City, and build it into a strong grain fortress. Immediately notify Taiyuan City and bring a large amount of grain and grass over. ”

Chu Tianxiu said lightly, and turned his horse into Shuofang City.

"Yes! The subordinates informed the Captain. ”

The subordinate generals led the way.

The new army of Great Chu did not chase and kill, and directly drove into Shuofang City and began to rectify in Shuofang City.

This "great victory" over the Huns killed nearly 5,000 Hun light cavalry. It can be regarded as a rare victory in recent years, when the Great Chu Dynasty fought against the Xiongnu.

In the past ten years, there has never been a border battle to break the record of a Hun 10,000-strong army.

However, for the Great Chu New Army, killing thousands of Hun soldiers is just a plate of hors d'oeuvres, and it is not too much of a life.

After all, in front of Chu Tianxiu's record of defeating the 500,000 army of the Ten Route Princes, such a "small victory" is really not a high record.

The real big war is still to fight in the steppe and in the Xiongnu base camp.
