Chapter 51: The Burning Hexi "Six"

Wu Yunnian saw the movements of the Han army, and quickly ordered to start gathering the army.

A war, except for a sudden sneak attack, no war can end the battle in a short time. Cavalry combat, in particular, requires a wide and flat battlefield for the cavalry of both sides to accelerate their charge.

The cavalry of BC was very different from that of later generations, except for the Han army, which was equipped with a large number of long-range foot * crossbows and bed crossbows and repeating crossbows, almost all cavalry were charged, immediately slashed, or dismounted hand-to-hand combat.

All the cavalry of this era could not escape this pattern.

In the past few decades, the eight surnames of Wuhuan have been grazing and cultivating in the lush Munan grassland, living a comfortable life. This is the starting place of the Xiongnu, and it is precisely because the Xiongnu occupy the Munan grassland and get sufficient development that they began to unify the nomadic people.

This land is very easy to stimulate ambition, and it is just when neither the Han nor the Xiongnu have time to take care of it. This gave the Wuhuan people a period of savage growth and development, and also made some Wuhuan people have the illusion that they could develop their own power by maintaining neutrality.

But it is very ridiculous among the discerning people, because no one will let the third-party forces rise, find the problem, and immediately extinguish it.

An hour later, all the soldiers and horses of Han and Wuhuan were assembled, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded again on the Munan grassland. In the fourth year of Yuanzhen, after the champion Hou Huo went to Dingxiang and Daijun to fall ill, after a lapse of nearly forty years, the Han army once again fought in the Munan grassland.

Wu Yunnian loudly scolded his subordinates, this time he brought most of the elites of the Wuhuan Eight surnames totaling 40,000 people, and most of the tribes were still waiting, and the Nanchi Department even contacted the Assassin Shi of Bingzhou to say that he blocked the way to meet the Che Cai general, so he must win this battle before it is possible to renegotiate with the Han Dynasty.

Looking at the Changshui Lieutenant Department in the distance, Wu Yunnian understood that he had to withstand the first round of attacks, otherwise once he was torn open by these well-trained, strong, tacitly coordinated, and well-equipped elites of the Han army, it would mean a result and a rout.

What made him most uncomfortable for Wu Yunnian was that he found the hoplite battle regiments of the Juzhu Army and the Flying Fox Army in the distance, and the Han army's tactics were generally cavalry in front and infantry in the rear, with light cavalry wings to protect and attack the enemy's weak links at any time.

A huge infantry battle regiment, as the main force to attack.

The battle of the large corps is the specialty of the Han army, and the opponent is killed like a cow, and there is no room for resistance. Although there is no quick mobility in this way, once the heavy cavalry breaks through the enemy formation and divides the enemy army in two, the victory must belong to these Han soldiers.

Just when Wuyunnian was about to set up the military formation, the sudden Han army began to move.

A trumpet seemed to come from the sky, drawing everyone's attention.

Xuanjia red robe, symbolizing the Han Dynasty's colorful flags fluttering in the wind.

Looking ahead, where the dark clouds have turned into a sea of red, melodious taro sounds, wild drumbeats, melodious pan flutes, followed by the war songs of the Han people.

"Gradually, the stone is high, the mountains and rivers are far away, the maintenance of its labor, the warriors are crusading eastward, and the dynasty is not the emperor"

The sun shone on the fish scale armor of the Han army, and the red tassels on the battle helmets also swayed with the soldiers, only to see the central flag wave, and the Han army began to attack.

In an instant, the earth shook.

Thousands of war horses, starting at the same time, smoke and grass foam, instantly flew up.

Sun Xuan looked at the scene in front of him with great satisfaction, and said proudly to Zhou Xin, who was stunned beside him: "Captain Changshui is a forbidden army, all the equipment is the top, every soldier is the best of the best, Wuhuan has eight surnames, three outside the city, plus the nobles who moved from Wuhuan inward, and officials from all over the country, among these hundreds of thousands of people, only three or five hundred people are selected every three years.

Even if you enter the Changshui Captain's Department, you have to continue to hone and learn the use of various ordnance in the army, so that those who are qualified can really gain a foothold in the Changshui Captain's Department.

And every general of the sixth lieutenant of the Northern Army was selected by the Son of Heaven from the outstanding seeds of the top liehou families, or from the front line.

Each of the six lieutenants of the Northern Army is an indomitable arrow, which can cut through the military formation of our Han enemy, Captain Zhou, you should watch it carefully! ”

In Zhou Xin's eyes, the Changshui Lieutenant Department seems to form a whole, the people and horses are one, and the symphony echoes, this visual impact shocks Zhou Xin himself.

What Sun Wu, the sage of the military family, advocated, is as slow as a forest, aggression is like fire, and movement is like thunder, and Captain Changshui has reached it.

Wu Yunnian gritted his teeth, he couldn't believe everything in front of him, the Han army in the distance, in his eyes, was like a large wolf pack, rushing towards the Wuhuan people in unison.

The raid formation is perfect, almost flawless, indestructible.

The Wuhuan nobles and warriors who stood with Wu Yunnian were also stunned, remembering their unruliness, thinking that the warriors of the Wuhuan tribes were also first-class and brave, and the Wuhuan people could also be found in the strong armies in the world.

How ridiculous it seems now.

Fear gradually appeared in their hearts, no one knew what fate awaited them, and no one knew how to deal with the aftermath, but the fear that rose in everyone's hearts, the trembling in their souls, slowly surrounded them.

There is no room for regret!

Hundreds of heavily armored cavalry armed with halberds attacked the Wuhuan people's position like a tide.

The gap was quickly opened, and the Wuhuan army's formation was split in half in an instant, and then hundreds of light cavalry, wielding sharp swords and broadswords, followed closely behind.

Wu Yunnian knew that this was a classic Han cavalry tactic, which could be seen from the formation of the Han army's charge.

Halberd-armed cavalry are in front, they are the best arrows and the most reliable protection to separate the enemy's positions.

They were followed by the light cavalry, which was mainly responsible for protecting and slashing the enemy so that there was no chance that the enemy would gather again.

All that remains is for the infantry regiment to finish up and completely crush all the enemy.

The Han army cooperated with each other very tacitly, and after successfully entering the enemy formation, they would be divided into more than 20 combat squads to echo back and forth.

Under the structure of these 20 or so combat squads, the whole army has a clear hierarchy and is a horn of each other.

This is also a battle, both in terms of momentum and the result of the battle are very perfect, like a pair of exquisite embroidery, which is pleasing to the eye.

It's the perfect embodiment of strength and command.

Thinking of this, Dark Cloud immediately organized a defensive counterattack, but it was already too late.

When Wuyun Nian stabilized the rear army and did not support the front army in time, the blow of the Han army had come, and the entire front army had been slaughtered.

The Han army wearing fish scale armor plunged straight into the rear of the Wuhuan coalition army like a tiger, and invaded the camp like a flood, they quickly and decisively, without any emotion, leveled their halberds, and directly crashed into the rear team that Wu Yunnian had just organized.

The screams resounded in the sky in an instant.

And the halberd cavalry of the Han army seemed to be accustomed to such a scene, they did not have any emotional fluctuations, and kept stabbing the halberd in their hands back and forth, as tough as a stone.

At this time, the light cavalry that arrived later also joined the battlefield, and their fast reapers, the heads of the Wuhuan people.

The Wuhuan coalition army was completely defeated without even organizing a decent resistance.
