But these Huns didn't think of one thing, that is, how many bows and crossbows were in the hands of the Huashan army. If they knew that Li Erhei had specially mobilized the inventory of Beidi and Xinping County in the past year for the sake of this war, they probably wouldn't have dared to rush over like this. The bow and crossbow are not very useful when defending the city, but they are very useful against the charging cavalry.

"Shoot the arrows!" Li Erhei knew what the other party was thinking, and in the face of the enemy troops rushing towards him, he didn't even change his face, but gave another order.

Beside him, a thousand soldiers were divided into ten columns, and except for the first group of soldiers, who had shields in their hands, the rest of the soldiers had bows and crossbows in their hands! With his order, the crossbowmen in the front row immediately pulled the bracket, and the first wave of crossbow arrows flew towards the Huns.

As soon as the first wave was over, the soldiers staggered back with the group behind them. And the group of soldiers behind, in the process of moving, had already picked up the crossbow and released another wave of crossbow arrows.

If there were only these two waves of arrows, they might not be able to stop so many Hun cavalry. After all, the speed of the war horse is still very fast, except when it starts.

But Li Erhei has more than 1,000 people in his hands! At this time, there were still 1,000 men and horses on the left and right wings, also armed with bows and crossbows. These 3,000 soldiers and horses were like a crescent moon, which happened to enclose the Huns in half.

When Li Erhei gave an order, at this time, the left and right sides, plus the front, were all arrows flying sideways. It just so happened that the Huns were huddled together again, and arrows flew in three directions, and almost none of them survived.

In a short period of time, the Huns who ran in the front were already trampled into pulp, and among them was the fastest general. When the Hun soldiers in the back saw this situation, although they were afraid, they also knew that they had to rush forward.

Especially at this time, the Huashan army on the left and right flanks had already shot arrows into the camp tents behind, so that the entire Xiongnu camp had already begun to burn.

The entire river valley was illuminated red, but the raging fire also cut off the back road of the Huns. This also made the Huns have no other way but to rush forward.

There was a fire in the back, but there were countless sharp arrows in front of him, and the Hun soldiers at this time fell into a dilemma. As soon as the generals died, they were all fighting on their own without a leader, which greatly reduced their combat power.

After Li Erhei and the others took up their positions, they didn't advance much, but they kept releasing arrows, round after round. Under the light of the fire, he watched the Hun soldiers in front of him rush towards him one by one, and then fell down not far from him.

By the time it gets dark, the battle is over! Except for a few lucky ones, who ran directly from behind at the beginning, the rest of the Hun soldiers fell on the way to the charge. There are also some Hun soldiers, in despair, who finally chose to surrender, but there are relatively few such people.

After the first battle, Li Erhei's arrows in their hands were almost exhausted. This time it was like a rain of arrows, and almost no other weapons were used except for bows and crossbows.

But the results of the battle were also very great, in front of the Hun camp tent that had been burned to the ground, the Huns who lay on the ground, and the mountains of war horses.

"General, the enemy has been solved, should we go to chase Liu Yantou and them next?" At the end of the battle, the generals came to ask for instructions.

"Let's clean up the battlefield first! Some of them went back to replenish the arrows, and others sent people to observe the situation in the north. Now the fire in the north is afraid that it will have to burn for a while, and we can't get over it, so let's wait and talk about it first! Li Erhei looked to the north, only to see that there was still a flame over there, so he said.

It stands to reason that he wanted to catch up immediately. But the problem is that the soldiers and horses in Liu Yantou's hands are not like the 2,000 men and horses left behind, and after catching up with him, it is almost impossible to solve them with the same method as before.

So, over there, let's leave it to Shao Zisong and them to solve it! Anyway, the pockets are already open, just waiting for these big fish to get in, and there is no need to rush over for a while.

When Li Erhei and the Huns who were in charge of the broken war were fighting, Liu Yantou and they had not left too far. After all, how fast an army of more than 10,000 people can go, even if it is a cavalry, it is limited by the terrain after all.

Later, when the valley was on fire, even if they were far away, they could see that the sky had turned red. Under such circumstances, of course, Liu Yantou immediately sent someone back to inspect the situation.

Soon after, the horse came back to report the news.

"Shan Yu! Oh no, there is a sound of fighting from the south, and it seems that our soldiers and horses are fighting with the Huashan army over there. The fire was too big for us to get through, so we didn't know what was going on over there! The spies reported.

"Damn Li Erhei, I knew he would definitely come out and make trouble!" Hearing this, Liu Yantou couldn't help but curse angrily.

"Shan Yu, should we send troops back to rescue the broken soldiers!" A tribal leader beside him asked.

"Didn't you hear that? The fire is too big to get by, and even if we go, it's useless. Besides, after I left two thousand men and horses, if I couldn't even pack up the two or three thousand foot soldiers of the Huashan Army, why should I save them? The order went down, speed up the march, just take advantage of Li Erhei's way to catch up, let's go first! As long as we return to the grassland, who can stop us! Hearing this, Liu Yantou thought for a while and refused.

After all, in his opinion, the most important thing at this time is to rush back to the Khan Court first and keep his position alone.

Seeing him say this, the other generals didn't say anything anymore. After all, they felt that this was quite reasonable, they were dignified Hun cavalry, when were they afraid of foot soldiers on the grassland!

The Hun army, which received the order, immediately accelerated the pace of the march. Anyway, Li Erhei's side already knew about the withdrawal, so there was no need to cover it up.

Xiaoguan is about a hundred miles away from the grassland, and even if you walk along the river valley, it will not exceed two hundred miles. After this increase in speed, by the afternoon of the next day, the advance of the Hun army had already appeared at the mouth of the valley.

Seeing the familiar vast grassland outside, the Hun soldiers couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement. For them, there are many mountains and forests near Xiaoguan, and it feels like living in a small room, and it is really uncomfortable for a long time.

After the spies and strikers in advance investigated the situation outside the valley mouth, they did not find anything abnormal, so they immediately sent someone back to report to Liu Yantou that he knew. And Liu Yantou, who got the news, of course, ordered the whole army to speed up again and strive to return to the grassland as soon as possible.

The closer they got to the mouth of the valley and the more they saw the grassland outside, the happier and more relaxed the Hun soldiers became.

On the mountains on both sides of the valley mouth, Shao Zisong and they have been in ambush for a day and a night, and at this time, they saw that in the southern river valley, the figures of the Huns began to appear continuously, and their spirits were suddenly lifted!

"General, the Huns have returned to the army. It should be their striker who has just passed! If nothing else, the next thing to appear is their main force! Shao Zisong was ambushed in the dense forest on the northern slope, and the people next to him reported to him at this time.

"Okay, let's get ready, and act as soon as the signal is given!" Hearing this, Shao Zisong nodded and commanded.

Liu Yantou personally led the Chinese army, and at this time the people were still in the river valley, and after receiving the return of the forward, his heart was also much more relaxed. However, when he thought that there might have been a change on the side of the Khan Court, his heart sank again.

"No! I still have to speed up, otherwise it's still so far away from the Khan Court, and if I go back, I'm afraid those guys will have succeeded a long time ago! Thinking about it, Liu Yantou was always at ease.

Therefore, in the end, he made up his mind and instructed the generals beside him: "Come, pass the order, after leaving the valley, the army will rush back to the Khan Court at full speed!" Make no stops along the way! ”

"Yes!" The general hurriedly answered, and was ready to turn around and give the order.

"Boom!"

But at this moment, a loud bang suddenly came from Taniguchi's position. Liu Yantou and the others looked over from a distance, only to see the location of the mouth of the river valley, and suddenly a lot of smoke and dust rolled up.

"What's going on? Why is there such a loud noise? Liu Yantou's heart was shocked, and he immediately asked.

Soon, someone in front of me came back to report!

"Tell me, it's not good! The valley in front of him suddenly collapsed, and the rocks on both sides fell, blocking the valley mouth! ”

"What? Why did the good valley collapse, can you see clearly? Can it still be passed? Liu Yantou immediately realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked.

"The front is being cleaned up, but I'm afraid the army won't be able to move forward for a while!"

"Send more people immediately, and we must clear the valley mouth as soon as possible!" Liu Yantou groaned for a moment, and then commanded.

"Woooo As soon as he finished saying this, everyone heard a strange soft sound, and many people couldn't help but look up.

At this glance, everyone was stunned, only to see that from the cliffs and dense forests on both sides, countless sharp arrows suddenly flew out, and they fell on the top of their heads.

"Not good, enemy attack! Hide quickly and fight back! As soon as he saw the dense arrows in the sky, Liu Yantou hurriedly shouted! Then he himself jumped off his horse and, under the protection of his own guards, ran to the foot of the hill beside him for refuge.
