Chapter 1042: The First Battle, the Situation Is Unfavorable (Second Update)

The east wind rises, and the drums of war beat.

The rumbling drums kept reverberating back and forth over the battlefield, as if they were about to go straight into the sky, and the neat and orderly rhythm was densely beaten in front of every cavalry of the Zhao State, making their mood involuntarily become agitated.

A group of Zhao cavalry began to keep riding out from the big array like a tide of black pressure, and the teams gathered into two long dragons on the left and right, and the red flags rolled up, rushing towards the two sides of the Hun army not far away.

"Woohoo!" With a few sharp sounds, almost piercing people's eardrums, several ringing arrows shot out from the Xiongnu formation, and groups of Xiongnu cavalry also rode out, shouting loudly and facing the enemy of Zhao.

The curtain of war was slowly opened.

Surrounded by many guards, Li Mu rode his horse on top of a small hill, which was also the highest point he could find, and used it to observe the movements of the battlefield.

Long before the Zhao army began to beat the drums, the two armies had already sent hundreds of cavalry to gallop back and forth in front of their own phalanx, and by the way, they competed with the cavalry and archery skills of both sides.

In such a situation, it is obviously impossible for the two managers to know the real situation in front of the battle with the naked eye, and can only know the situation from the scouts' reports.

Under the small mountain bag, the scouts kept running back and forth, bringing back one news after another for Li Mu.

"Grand Governor, the left wing army has begun to fight with the right wing of the Huns!"

"Grand Duke, the cavalry on the right flank has begun to engage with the left flank of the Huns!"

"Grand Duke, the cavalry on the left flank is in a fierce battle!"

"Grand Duke, the cavalry on the right flank has begun to press forward!"

Since the two sides were mainly light cavalry, and they had just begun to make contact, it was natural that this kind of behavior would not happen.

This is also the order of Uwei Shan Yu, since he knows that the Zhao people have black technology such as earth-shaking thunder and grenades, the Huns will naturally not be stupid to play with the Zhao people in close proximity.

In the countless dust and smoke, the cavalry on both sides galloped back and forth, constantly pulling the longbows in their hands and shooting arrows one after another, shooting towards each other.

In terms of archery, the Hun cavalry should have the upper hand, but due to several successive defeats caused a large number of Xiongnu elites to suffer heavy losses, although the remaining Hun cavalry can also be skilled in cavalry and archery, but in terms of power, it is not only far from the Hun Empire in history that made the Han Dynasty have to instigate three generations of emperors, but also the Hun cavalry that Hugh Li Shan Yu led the army south ten years ago.

On the other hand, the cavalry of Zhao on the other side is completely different, after so many years of war, the composition of the cavalry of Zhao under Li Mu is quite complicated, the sources are Linhu, Lou Fu, Yiqu, Mo Nan Huns and a small part of the Donghu and Qiang people, at least 30,000 cavalry of the 40,000 cavalry are from the northwest or north of the Zhao nomads, only the ace armored cavalry in Li Mu's hand because of the requirements for the body and mostly use the Zhao cavalry from the Central Plains of the Zhao State.

In terms of proficiency, the cavalry of the ethnic minorities on the border of Zhao who formed the light cavalry of Zhao State was completely outside the Huns, and many of them had participated in many wars against the Xiongnu, Qin, and Wusun Yueshi Qiang people, and their one-handed archery skills had long been practiced in the war.

In addition, the Zhao army, whether it is a longbow and arrows or leather armor war horses, these materials and equipment mounts, compared with the Huns, are more sophisticated and high-quality, and it is this battle of cavalry and archery technology of the Central Plains Dynasty and the nomadic empire, and it is actually the Zhao cavalry from the Central Plains who slowly gain an advantage as the direction of the entire war.

Uwei Shan Yu also found a hill similar to Li Mu's side as the commanding heights headquarters, but this Xiongnu Shan Yu's face did not look so good.

It was also a Hun scout who galloped over, shouting the latest battle situation to Uwei Danyu.

"Da Danyu, the pressure on the left flank is huge, and there are already four thousand horsemen who have been beaten back by the Zhao people!"

"Da Dan Yu, there is an urgent report from the Right Xian King on the right wing, three thousand horsemen have been repulsed, and about two thousand horsemen on the Zhao side have also been disabled!"

"Big Single, Left ......"

"Enough!" Uwei Shan Yu finally couldn't bear it anymore, and roared angrily: "What about the armored cavalry, where are the armored cavalry of the Zhao Kingdom?" ”

People who can become Shan Yu, especially Shan Yu, who can successfully integrate the Xiongnu tribes through a bloody war and knead the Xiongnu tribes together to form a rudimentary form of a country, obviously cannot be a war idiot.

In fact, for today's battle, Uwei Shan Yu has been preparing for a long time.

The reason why he attacked the Western Regions was not because Uwei Shan Yu was afraid of going south, but because U Wei Shan Yu knew that the newly born and weak Xiongnu State was not enough to compete with Zhao State, and he had to obtain new blood from the Western Regions to replenish his lost national strength, so that he could hope to go south again in the near future to compete with the Zhao people.

Although Uwei Shan Yu is not prepared enough now, for him, who has no way to retreat, he can only give it a go with Zhao Guoren.

In Uwei Shan Yu's opinion, the real key lies in the armored cavalry of Zhao State!

The armored cavalry was an invincible trump card in Li Mu's hands, always able to destroy all the enemies in front of him, and could be called the strongest cavalry at that time.

But there are advantages and disadvantages, as long as you can find a way to defeat the armored cavalry of the Zhao people, then the morale of the Zhao army will inevitably suffer a very heavy blow, and when the time comes, Uwei Shan will fight back again, and victory will not be an impossible thing for the Huns!

In order to target the armored cavalry, Uwei Shan Yuke thought about it for a long time, and made some plans very targeted.

This Hun Shan Yu was full of confidence that as long as his plan could succeed, the armored cavalry would not be invincible!

But the problem is that now the war has been fought for almost half an hour, and the Chinese army of the Zhao army is not moving, but there is no trace of armored cavalry on the left and right flanks!

This is obviously very different from Li Mu's use of troops in the past, and it is completely unexpected by Uwei Shan Yu.

You must know that if it was peacetime, Li Mu would have used the armored cavalry as the vanguard to rush into battle frantically!

"Cunning Li Mu!" Uwei Shan Yu scolded angrily, and after struggling for a while, he finally gritted his teeth and gave an order: "Come on, let Ben Shan Yu's heavy cavalry attack and attack the Chinese army of the Zhao army!" ”
