Chapter 80: Zhao Yun leads the troops
Hutu Ze coalition army battalion.
"Report! King Qiyu, the Han army has set up camp five miles away! ”
The spy rushed in and knelt down.
Liang Yuanbi, the king of Hugh Tu, scolded angrily: "The cunning Han people must be playing some kind of conspiracy again!" ”
Tu Suying, the king of Tu Gehu, said: "The Han people often say that they should respond to all changes with the same, and now that we are gathering heavy troops here, we can still be afraid that he will not succeed." ”
"Yes, my warriors from Hu are brave and good at fighting, even if the 20,000 Han army comes, we don't have to worry."
From the king of Hu, Li Wenhou swore an oath.
King Lu Shuihu Zhiyuan said cautiously: "You should not be careless, you must not forget the lessons of Yu Fuluo's past, if it is too late today, you should closely guard against Han thieves coming to steal the camp." ”
"I said brother, when did you become so timid as a mouse, not even as a woman, it's really a shame for us Hu people."
Li Wenhou scoffed.
Zhi Yuanduo's face changed greatly, and he pointed at Li Wenhou and scolded: "The dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth, hum!" ”
"Who are you scolding?"
"Lao Tzu scolded you ......"
The two quarreled with each other for the sake of quick talk, and almost got into a fight, and in the end, the allies discussed the matter, but it didn't work, but let Zhang Feng sleep comfortably.
……
"Boom! Random hidden task triggering, sweep away dissidents, hit the Hu people coalition army, and you can get 10 lucky points and 2 attribute pills if you succeed in the mission. ”
The infinite lottery system finally released a welfare gift package, Zhang Feng thought that there was no benefit this time, and the life of the open was full of excitement.
Two days later, Hugh Tuze at the southern foothills.
On the flat and open grassland, Zhang Feng led two thousand cavalry to officially advance slowly.
Under the leadership of Zhao Yun, the cavalry set up a standard offensive formation, which was scattered, trapped, fortified, speared, bows and arrows, each performing its own duties, and the whole army was like an iron-armored monster slowly advancing towards Hutu Ze.
As soon as the cavalry on Zhang Feng's side was dispatched, the Hu people coalition army couldn't wait to start the mobilization of the whole army.
In the blink of an eye, in front of the Han army's cavalry formation, on both wings and behind it, an endless coalition of Hu cavalry troops emerged.
10,000 Hu cavalry, it sounds like a small number, but if scattered on the flat grassland, it is definitely an incomparably wonderful, magnificent picture, if you look down from the sky, within a radius of a few miles, the entire grassland is annihilated by their cavalry sea.
More than 10,000 Hu cavalry began to run and sprint, and the momentum was amazing.
However, in the face of the monstrous momentum of more than 10,000 Hu people, Zhang Feng's eyebrows did not wrinkle, he was not frightened.
Zhao Yun set up an attack formation, the two thousand cavalry are like a reef in turbulent waves, let you be in a hurry, I will not move, if the Hu people coalition army only sends a small group of cavalry to harass, it is simply a purchase of a pit.
But once more than 1,000 horsemen approached, they would immediately be hit by the thunder of the longbowmen in the cavalry array!
For the Hu cavalry coalition army wearing thin leather armor, the Han people's strong bows and crossbows were definitely a mortal threat.
From the afternoon before yesterday to the present, Li Wenhou, who is not afraid of death, has tried hundreds of attacks and countless harassments, and has also paid a heavy price of nearly 1,000 cavalry casualties, but in the end he still failed to stop Zhang Feng's footsteps.
Looking at the Han cavalry rolling and crushing in front of him, Lu Shuihu King Zhiyuanduo couldn't help but sigh.
Just now, his tribe carried out a small-scale attack and was disintegrated by the Han army, except for the hundreds of corpses thrown on the battlefield, nothing was gained, as for the Han army, there were not even casualties, all they lost was arrows, damn arrows, as if the Han army would never run out.
At this moment, even Li Wenhou is already very clear that the Han people are really not paper tigers.
Now they all know that unless the coalition forces invest elite cavalry in a large-scale decisive battle at any cost, it is not enough to scare off or stop this Han cavalry by simply investing a small number of cavalry to attack or launch a small-scale attack.
10,000 against 2,000, no one knows what the odds are?
Han army, in the center of the cavalry formation.
Zhang Feng on horseback was holding a telescope to look at the surrounding situation, and when he saw several Hu kings in Hutu Zeque Pass City, he smiled and said to Zhou Cang: "This group of guys really didn't disappoint me, it is true that they are picking their feet, there is no tactic at all, looking at their anxious appearance, I am afraid that next, the Hu cavalry coalition army should attack in a big way." ”
"Lord, you can see clearly from such a distance!"
Zhou Cangji looked into the distance, and the people in the city were vague and couldn't tell the difference at all, not only puzzled.
Zhang Feng handed the telescope to Zhou Cang and explained: "Because I have this thing, you look out at it and see if it is very clear!" ”
Zhou Cang learned from Zhang Feng's example, fixed his eyes, and really clearly saw that on the closed city, several Hu leaders were walking around anxiously.
"My lord, is this clairvoyance?"
Clairvoyance?
Zhang Feng didn't expect Zhou Cang to give the telescope a clairvoyant title, but with the current scientific and technological conditions, this telescope is really a clairvoyant-like existence, and the name is good.
The voice fell, and the low and desolate Hu people horn sounded in the four fields, and in the continuous sound of the horn, the Hu cavalry coalition army that was originally wandering around the Han army's cavalry formation suddenly retreated to the front like the tide of the receding tide, and after less than a moment, nearly 10,000 Hu cavalry opened a dense cavalry formation under the city pass.
A sneer suddenly bloomed at the corner of Zhao Yun's mouth in the front round, and he said in a deep voice: "The lord is really like a god, these Hu people are really useless, and there is no real man." ”
Zhao Yun raised his head and said indifferently: "Order, the whole army stops advancing, and forms a formation on the spot, a circular defense array!" ”
Zhao Yun gave an order, and the two thousand cavalry began to change formations in an instant. Nearly a thousand of them actually abandoned their war horses, holding a large shield in their left hand and a Tang knife that Zhang Feng had just recently built in their right hand, directly protecting the outermost part of the circular array, forming a protective umbrella.
After Zhao Yun was able to form a good formation, the Hu cavalry in front also began to move.
However, Zhang Feng didn't care too much about the movements of this group of Hu cavalry.
Because the Hu people at this time are in a very primitive stage in terms of strategy and tactics, unlike the hinterland of the Central Plains of the Han Dynasty, after hundreds of years of the Warring States Period and the Qin and Han dynasties, whether it is strategy or tactics, or humanities, philosophy, etc., have developed to a fairly high level, tactics, can only be learned in war!
The reason why the Xiongnu were prosperous was because they learned Han culture and knew how to arrange troops.
Before Maodun, the fire between the various Xiongnu tribes was basically similar to a group fight, who had more people, whose fists were hard, who was the leader, and who was Shan Yu.
However, the appearance of Mao Dun completely changed this pattern, Mao Dun was smart and studious, and there were a few slaves from the Central Plains who were exiled to the Mobei grassland, although he did not systematically study the various theories of the Central Plains, but at least he had the enlightenment of various theories, which laid an extremely solid foundation for his future growth.
Mao Dun stole a teacher to learn art, and only learned about the surface of Han culture, so he conquered Donghu.
At that time, the Donghu people were stronger than the Huns in terms of total population and number of strings, but the Donghu people were finally defeated by the Huns and have been in a slump ever since.
Therefore, Zhang Feng did not pay attention to the changes of the Hu Cavalry coalition army.
Zhao Yun also didn't take the Hu people's movements to heart, although these barbarians are three big and five thick, but compared to the Xianbei cavalry, it is not worth mentioning at all, after the battle of Jilusai, Zhao Yun's vision has reached another height, that is, we must train a cavalry that is more fierce than the Xianbei people, and these Hu horses in front of them are just some kittens and dogs.
After a few moments, Hu Qi finally attacked.
Thousands of cavalry lined up in a slightly scattered horizontal formation, slowly crushing towards Zhao Yun's circular defensive array, and as time passed, Hu Cai's speed of running became faster and faster, and in the end, tens of thousands of horses' hooves struck the ground, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves almost shattered everyone's eardrums.
Nearly 10,000 cavalry charged in clusters, horizontal queues that could not be seen at a glance, countless moving horse heads, countless galloping horse hooves, countless horsehair fluttering in the wind, and countless Hu cavalry waving all kinds of weapons and shouting, that kind of unrestrained scene made Zhang Feng moved.
However, Zhang Feng was not moved at all, because these fake tricks responded to a sentence, and they were useless.
For this set, it is handed down from the ancestors of the nomadic tribe, and every Hu person is familiar with it.
When it was less than five hundred steps away from the Han army's formation, the Hu cavalry rolling forward was like a turbulent torrent on a reef, and suddenly split into two strands from the middle, and began to cut diagonally to the left and right sides of the Han army's formation.
It's a little interesting, and a faint smile has bloomed at the corner of Zhang Feng's mouth.
Suddenly, Zhang Feng had already raised his right hand and said lightly: "Zhou Cang, send an order to Zhao Yun to prepare to attack." ”
"No!"
Zhou Cang, who was guarding behind Zhang Feng, stepped on the horse's pedal with both feet, stood upright on the horse's back, waved the tiger-faced flag in his hand, and waved it vigorously in front of him.
Zhao Yun understood and shouted loudly: "Kill the enemy!" ”
After hearing the order, the colonels of each army and battalion turned around one after another and issued combat orders to their respective troops.
The outermost circle is the sword and shield hand holding the big shield and holding the Tang knife.
Then behind him were pikemen erected one after another, and in an instant, a dense forest of spears was formed.
The crossbowmen seated on horseback in the middle circle tightened their crossbow machines one after another, and aimed their arrows at the surging Hu cavalry in front of them.
The archers, on the other hand, stood upright on their horses with their feet on their horses, and at this time removed their longbows, untied their quivers, and took out the heavy arrows from their quivers, and inserted them into their right heels in a slow manner.
The Han army's large array formed a large circular array from the outside to the inside, from low to high, layered on top of each other.
When the distance between the two armies was less than two hundred paces, the innermost longbowmen of the Han army were the first to attack.
With the sound of "whoosh" breaking through the sky, hundreds of longbowmen have already shot the wolf's tooth heavy arrows into the void, and then they are intertwined into a dense rain of arrows in the air, and they are fiercely slammed down on the heads of the Hu cavalry approaching from the front.
In the terrible wail, at least five or six hundred Hu cavalry fell from their horses with arrows, and before they could get up, the Hu cavalry behind them had already roared over their heads like a storm, and countless horse hooves suddenly stepped down from the air, and in an instant, the hundreds of Hu cavalry who had fallen off their horses were trampled into pulp!
When the Hu cavalry entered within 100 paces, the crossbow arrows of the Han army also attacked, and the hit rate of the crossbow arrows was much higher than that of the longbows that relied on a wide area to kill and injure the enemy.
By the time the Hu cavalry rushed to the front of the Han army's outer array, the entire cavalry formation had been sparse a lot, and in less than a hundred paces, the Hu cavalry had paid at least thousands of casualties!!
"Damn, how the hell did this gang of Han soldiers do it!"
On the city of Hutu Zeguan, Li Wenhou roared, and saw that the Han cavalry longbowmen could stand upright on horseback, which made him stunned, even those of them who lived on horseback all year round could not do it for a long time, but this group of Han people actually did it, it was incredible.
