After Zhang Yuan retreated here, he directly inserted the spear he collected into the grass on the east side of Fuyangju Mountain.

Because of time reasons, Zhang Yuan asked the army to directly insert the end of the spearhead into the soil.

If you want to bury your tail in the ground, it takes at least five times as long as using a spearhead.

And the advantage of using a spearhead is that you can bury the shaft of the spear in the soil by hammering the tail of the spear.

After doing all this, Zhang Yuan led the army to a place five miles away from Fuyangju Mountain and waited quietly.

And the 2,000 foot soldiers were hidden in the mountains and forests on both sides.

They serve other purposes.

The Huns reorganized their army for half an hour.

In this half hour, the Han army was in strict formation, and did not dare to relax at all.

"General Wei, they're about to pass through the narrow mountains."

Five miles apart, the Han army could see the black pressure coming from the narrow side of Fuyang Jushan.

"The whole army is ready to charge!"

Zhang Yuan didn't speak, and Xue Ren himself knew what to do now.

When the Huns slowly walked in front of Zhang Yuan and them, all the traps arranged in front of them would lose their due effect.

"The whole army obeys my orders and goes to the spear!"

The remaining nearly 50,000 cavalrymen brushed their spears on their waists.

"The whole army charged, and when it rushed to the narrow mouth of the mountain, it diverted to both sides!"

Xue Ren roared wildly and rushed forward like crazy.

Except for the five hundred soldiers who stayed behind to protect Zhang Yuan, the rest of the people all rushed out, including Li Fu.

When the Huns saw that the Han army dared to charge, they rushed out of the mountain with a swarm of screams before anyone could begin to give an order.

The Huns were invincible in the steppe, and the reason why they lost just now was all because of the limitations of the terrain.

Regardless of the facts, the Huns thought so anyway.

As a result, as soon as the Huns raised their speed, they did not run a mile forward, and all the Hun cavalry at the front were tripped.

During the high-speed movement, the horse's leg hit a wooden pole, creating enough force to break the fragile horse's leg.

And the pole will bounce off a bit, causing a second blow.

These wooden poles are naturally the spear shafts of those spears, and tens of thousands of spears are enough to unload the impact of tens of thousands of cavalry.

The first charge of the Hun cavalry was thus closed, and they could only slowly cross the area of the war spear, and then what awaited them was the wooden sticks and thorns of the borderland.

There are traps for two miles at the mouth of the east side of the narrow mountain, which may not cause much damage, but it can make the Hun cavalry unable to rush.

They couldn't rush up, but the Han army could.

When Xue Ren saw the Xiongnu charging, he waved his hand to signal the army to slow down, and they would wait until the Xiongnu crossed the trap area before charging.

"Seeing that the Hun cavalry was only two miles away from the Han cavalry, Xue Ren waved his big hand and the whole army immediately rushed out like an arrow from the string."

Everyone held the six-meter-long spear with one hand, and the reins were tightened with the other.

The Huns had seen war spears, but that was a hundred years ago, when the iron hooves of Great Qin shook the entire grassland.

The memory of the nomad will not exceed three generations, and after three generations, the story is not true.

So the Hun cavalry just felt that the weapons of the Han army were more like spears, after all, they could not look at the length of the spears from the side.

But some of the Huns who had survived the baptism of spears immediately realized what kind of weapon it was.

But their impression of the spear is only that it is a throwing weapon.

Xue Ren took the lead and was the first to rush in front of the Hun cavalry.

A cavalry that has not started a charge against a cavalry that has begun to advance at full speed is the same as a cavalry against a foot soldier.

Once the speed is fast enough, it is easy to tear apart the opponent's military formation, and the Huns do not have such a military formation.

That means they'll be torn apart by the Han army faster.

Xue Ren dismounted five Hun cavalrymen in a row with a war spear, and the impact was gone, so he immediately turned his horse's head and headed west.

This was Zhang Yuan's strategy, the people in front of him moved to the sides, so that the vanguard of the Xiongnu army could be subjected to the impact of the Han cavalry all the time, and would not rush into the encirclement of the Xiongnu army.

In this way, round after round of charges, the mountain pass on the east side of the narrow Fuyangju Mountain formed a meat grinder-like existence.

The Huns who came in basically had only one way to die, and they couldn't even touch the armor of the Han army.

Occasionally, a few Han soldiers fell because of arrows, but in the face of the huge battle losses of the Xiongnu army, these are not worth mentioning.

When the evil king Hugh Tu saw such a scene, he was already angry.

"Hurry up and get these damn wooden poles out of me!"

The evil king of Hugh Tu was a wise man on the steppe, and they did not let the army pull out these wooden poles, but let them cut them with knives.

The Huns were born stronger than the Han people, and it was not easy to survive in the desert, and it was not very strange that they were all brave.

With all your might, you can cut off the shaft of a spear.

Thousands of people wielded war knives, and tens of thousands of spear shafts were cleared in two quarters of an hour, along with the wooden sticks and thorns in front of them.

"Sons, rush me!

Let the arrogant Han people see who is the king of the grassland! ”

King Hugh raised his scimitar and roared.

Immediately a deafening sound of trumpets sounded on both sides.

The sound of the horn made of the bones of the giant beast is particularly penetrating, and it travels very far.

Zhang Yuan also has improvised war drums on his side.

The soldiers who stayed behind immediately began to beat the war drums under Zhang Yuan's order.

This time the Han cavalry did not withdraw to either side again.

Hearing the sound of war drums, they used the length of the war spear to put one or several Hun cavalry off the horse, then threw the war spear, and then all of them were replaced with ring-headed knives and continued to rush towards the Hun army.

It will be a brutal war.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

What began as a one-sided massacre turned into a scuffle in an instant.

But when the Han army broke through the Huns' battle line for a mile, it was also the time when the Hun cavalry behind rushed the hardest.

The footmen on both sides of the mountain forest are finally about to exert their own light and heat.

In order to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, the Han army brought sackcloth, which had been a tent for shelter from the wind and rain two days ago, but now it was wrapped into five huge ropes.

There are more than 50,000 soldiers, that is to say, there are nearly 10,000 pieces of linen.

The material superiority of the Han was undoubtedly revealed at this moment, and under the feet of the Hun cavalry, a linen rope was pulled up every ten meters.

The two thousand foot soldiers were divided into ten teams, and they wrapped the trees tightly with linen ropes, and then straightened them with all their strength.

This trick was used by Zhang Yuan at the beginning, and it was an unexpected good use for the cavalry.

In this case, pulling these ropes is like a flying fish in the ocean, and when it is moving rapidly, suddenly a fisherman on a fishing boat spreads a large net on the surface of the sea.

It's impossible to keep flying, and you can't run away if you want to. Hot search

King Hutu and King Hun didn't expect Zhang Yuan's crooked tricks to be one move after another.

In short, it is to make your Hun cavalry unable to rush, and if the cavalry cannot charge, it is a foot pawn.

"Cut all these ropes!"

In addition to cutting is chopping, but as soon as it stopped, the more than 20,000 cavalry that had rushed out in front immediately suffered the most ferocious blow from the Han cavalry.

The Han army will not let go of such a good opportunity to kill the enemy.

Such a rush is about to rush into the narrow mountain.

However, they would not rush in stupidly, and the reason why they rushed forward so much was all to cover the retreat of the two thousand foot soldiers.

The war is going on very anxiously,

The Hun cavalry added up to less than 40,000 cavalry, and more than 10,000 lost their combat effectiveness in the first wave of Han cavalry charges.

Zhang Yuan's order was that as long as his side did not show a decline, he had to keep fighting.

The two sides had been fighting for nearly two hours, and the speed of the grappling was much slower than when they charged.

If there is no intervention between two people, the reaction speed is about the same, and there is no running speed blessed by the war horse, and it is likely to be more than ten rounds in a fight.

Xue Ren and the other generals also found each other's opponents.

There were no particularly fierce generals in this period, and the Great Han had not yet entered the period of strong individual heroism.

Wei Qing and Huo Qubing are famous not because they are invincible, but because of their commanding ability.

Compared with the combat effectiveness of the generals, the Han is no match for the Huns.

The Western Han Dynasty is not the Three Kingdoms, and those generals of the Three Kingdoms can go to the sky one by one.

In reality, there is no such thing as non-human beings, and the real war depends on strategy, numbers, and equipment.

Zhang Yuan's side has now crushed the Huns strategically and equipment, but the huge gap in numbers can only maintain balance.

And as time passed, the Huns seemed to be unable to kill, and the Han army slowly began to fall into a predicament.

It's time to retreat.

Zhang Yuan knew that if he continued to fight, he might be wiped out.

"Mingjin, the whole army retreats!"

Zhang Yuan didn't know how many people he could withdraw, but now he could only do that.

The sound of Ming Jin's troops resounding on the battlefield, and Xue Ren, Li Jian, and other generals immediately began to urge the soldiers around them to retreat.

The Huns also knew that the Han army was already overwhelmed, so they bit the Han army to the death and prevented them from retreating.

Li Fu yelled at this time.

"General Xue Ren, you withdraw first, and I will take someone to break off."

At this time, someone must choose to sacrifice their chances of survival.

Xue Ren nodded heavily, and then brandished his horsewhip and headed east without looking back.

Li Fu temporarily organized nearly 2,000 cavalry around him to hold the defensive line to prevent the Huns from passing.

This meant that they were able to resist the attack of more than 5,000 Hun cavalry, and the time required for the cavalry to retreat was very short, they only needed to get their horses running again.

Zhang Yuan's side was also ready to retreat at any time, seeing that the large army had begun to retreat, and someone took the initiative to take on the task of breaking the rear, Zhang Yuan still withdrew to the east although he couldn't bear it.

Night has finally fallen.

Zhang Yuan sat alone next to the bonfire, and the generals around him were gone.

They scattered to gather the remnants of the army, as well as check the numbers, and Zhang Yuan needed to know how many troops he had left to use before tomorrow morning.

It is estimated that the number of people has been checked, and Xue Ren walked over to this side.

Seeing that Zhang Yuan looked a little depressed, he coughed lightly twice.

"Ahem, General Wei."

"Tell me what's going on now?"

"Now there are 20,000 of our army left, but there are still some remnants of the army that are converging one after another.

The Admiral thinks we will eventually have 25,000 men left. ”

Zhang Yuan thought that it might be very miserable, but he didn't expect that he had only been tough with the Huns for a day, and he had used so many tricks, and the loss was still more than half.

"What about Li Furen?"

"General Li Fu has not returned, but the last general has already sent someone to the surrendered city to inquire.

Some of the soldiers were chased by the Huns in the direction of the surrendered city. ”

Zhang Yuan didn't ask about the battle losses of the Huns, because there was really no way to find out now.

Zhang Yuan: They are the losing side, whether it is because they hit the stone with eggs, or the number of Hun cavalry is too much, and if they are defeated, they are defeated.

But this defeat is also in everyone's imagination.

Not many people were depressed by the defeat in the war.

Unless the 50,000 people are all elites like the Qimen Army and the Yulin Army, there is no way to exterminate the 200,000 Hun cavalry head-on.

"General, I think our tactics are a little inappropriate today."

"What's wrong?"

"If we can release all the Huns, and we can charge against them on the steppe, it will be easy to kill them, and we will be able to retreat calmly when the defeated elephant is already alive."

Zhang Yuan shook his head, he didn't know this truth.

In this way, you can keep the formation and retreat directly at the end, but you can't kill too many people like this.

In case of getting bogged down in a quagmire, the danger is far greater than this kind of frontal positional warfare.

"Send out scouts to check on the movements of the Huns, focusing on how many of them are left.

Send some more people to the surrendered city, tell them where we are, and follow the Huns to wander the steppe for a day tomorrow for a truce. ”

"Whoa."

Xue Ren hugged his fists and left, and as soon as he left, Zhang Cigong came over.

"General Wei."

"It's the Marquis of the shore."

"General Wei, remember to be cautious.

We must take these people back to Chang'an alive. ”

Zhang Yuan glanced at Zhang Cigong, he didn't know what Zhang Cigong had in his heart until now.

He just wanted to kill as many Huns as possible, and then keep the Han army at a relatively small number.

When he returns to Chang'an City in the future, his exploits will not be given to the dead.

"I understand, I won't let the general pick up a cheap one for nothing."

Thirty miles west of the Han cavalry, the Fuyangju Mountain was narrow, and King Hutu and King Hun decided to set up camp here.

Like Zhang Yuan, they were also extremely concerned about battle losses, but the Huns were more troublesome than the Han army.

The Han army only needed to ask one level at a time, and the Huns directly began to count the heads, and it was impossible to count how many people were missing in each department.

And the Han army can clearly know how many men and horses are left in each army by asking one level at a time.
