The first rays of morning light had just fallen on the wolf plain.

The sound of the vast trumpet resounded throughout the earth.

On the distant horizon, countless cavalry swooped down with great momentum.

Zhang Yue stood on top of an arrow tower that had just been built, looking into the distance.

His eyesight has been maximized in this open grassland.

So much so that he could clearly see the figures of the Hun cavalry galloping more than ten miles away, and even the weapons they held in their hands and the armor they were wearing.

"About eight hundred to a thousand people...... Zhang Yue estimated in his heart.

Obviously, this is just a fire reconnaissance.

It is the temptation of the guards.

This is normal.

The two armies are at war, not to play interstellar, just box A.

Especially with the increase in the understanding and familiarity of the Han and Hungarian sides with each other.

Large-scale battles are becoming more and more protracted.

The lone army of Li Ling was surrounded in Junji Mountain, and they all resisted for more than ten days.

And the large-scale battle between Han and Hungary, if it doesn't last for half a year, is embarrassed to be called a national war.

But......

Zhang Yue knew very well that when this temptation was over, the Huns would immediately launch a fierce attack.

Now, it is the time to test the endurance and endurance of the Wuheng people.

"Pass my general order: all departments strictly guard the front and obey my orders!" Zhang Yue raised his hand and ordered.

"No!" Guo Rong immediately took the order and went to convey Zhang Yue's order.

At the same time, the team of warlords led by Dugu Jing and Hao Lian Ponu rode their horses in the array, monitoring the actions of each department.

"The angel has an order: those who attack without permission will be killed! Those who talk without permission are killed! Dare to have a piece of disobedience! ”

"Hold the line and obey the military orders!"

One by one, the cavalry of the overseer team, holding bright swords, shouted loudly between the defensive positions of the various divisions.

At this time, along the narrow passage between the wolf plain and the grassland, Wu Hengyi was divided into three main defensive positions.

Defend and defend against attacks from different directions.

Because there was no terrain to rely on, in front of the position, the people did everything they could, built a large number of horses, and sowed a lot of wood, copper, iron and other thistles.

In addition, countless traps were dug in front of the position and within hundreds of paces on the flanks, and several wide traps were set up.

Within the position, a half-man-high improvised camp wall made of rammed earth, salix and gravel was erected.

Because the time is too short, this camp wall is actually not too thick, nor is it strong.

But, at least, it can resist and block the surprise attack of the Hun cavalry.

Behind the camp wall, there were two or three hundred infantry holding wooden and bronze shields.

Behind these infantrymen were attacking infantry armed with spears, halberds, spears, and other weapons.

Finally, there is a cluster of archers of hundreds of people.

These archers, with their bows and arrows, are varied.

There are all kinds of horn bows and hunting bows made by the Wuheng people themselves, as well as standard military bows provided by the Han army, and even captured Hujie war bows.

Among these bows and arrows, the only trustworthy one is the Han army's military bow.

Because they are made of composite materials, which are then glued together with fish glue.

The only problem is that there are too few of them, but there are more than a hundred.

The rest were underpowered and too close-range.

However, it is enough to defend and snipe the enemy.

In addition to bows and arrows, these men also had a lot of melee weapons around them.

Bronze collars, meteor hammers, bronze swords, bronze knives, you name it.

This is so that these archers, in critical moments, can also fight with knives.

I don't want them to be like the archers of the Tang Army at their peak, after the enemy cavalry rushed in front of them, they dropped their bows and crossbows, and followed the Mo sword soldiers with a roar, and fought to the end with the attacking enemy.

Just in case, you can slightly delay the speed of the Hun cavalry.

In order to let the righteousness of the second and third echelons come up.

The sound of horses' hooves in the distance gradually roared.

Holding a spear in his hand, Nan Chicao swallowed hard, and then nervously looked at the enemy who was getting closer and closer in the field ahead.

He felt that his palms were full of sweat.

The heart is pounding and pounding.

At this moment, in the eyes of Nan Chicao, the Hun cavalry in the distance is simply a group of fierce and vicious demon kings.

It's like a demon crawling out of hell.

The hooves of their horses shook the whole ground a little.

If it was in the past, Nan Chicao had already lost his weapon at this moment, and he was scared to the core.

Because, his reason and instinct told him that if he faced these terrible cavalry, he would definitely die!

But now......

Nan Chi Cao bit her lip tightly and breathed the air deeply.

He didn't even move a single step, clinging to the shield soldiers in the front row, nervously watching the enemy in sight, getting closer and closer.

"For the sake of his wife!" Nan Chi Cao let out a loud shout to cheer himself up.

The comrades on the left and right also shouted: "For the sake of his wife!" ”

The morale and courage of the entire array were raised by this shout.

At this moment, Nanikecao thought of those widows in Yuze.

Then his chest was filled with courage.

He is twenty-five years old this year.

I haven't even tasted what it's like to be a woman.

What's even worse is that because of the tradition of 'father and son living together', he can hear the wheezing sound from his father and brother every night.

This is tantamount to torture for him who is young and vigorous.

And now......

The great angel has decreed that only military merits should be made.

Women, livestock, money, it's not a problem.

For the sake of a woman, a woman of her own, Nanchi Cao is willing to give up everything.

Including his life!

You can't imagine the energy that a single dog can burst out after 25 years of suppression!

And the single dog like Nan Chi Cao, now there are hundreds of people on this front alone.

They are now as hungry and thirsty as the hungry ghosts.

In the distance, those fierce and vicious, strange and roaring Hun cavalry, at this moment, they are not even terrifying.

Instead, it becomes an exciting affair.

The angel has already said that whoever it is, as long as he makes a meritorious battle.

Women, livestock, pastures, it's not a problem.

Even, as long as this battle is won, the angel will take the big guy to Mobei to rob the Huns' wives, children and livestock.

Just thinking of this, Wu Hengyi's servants in the entire array roared in a low voice.

The sound of their roar was not even lower than the strange screams of those Hun cavalry!

………………………………

Tun Gu felt unprecedented at this time.

The wind whistled in his ears, and the horses galloped through the field.

His cavalry, following him closely, formed a herringbone charge formation like the Hongyan flying south, in the most customary battle formation of the Huns.

Such a formation was usually used by the Huns when they were testing and attritioning the defenders.

Because, such a goose-shaped formation usually looks very powerful.

A few hundred rides can create thousands or even one or two thousand rides.

Inexperienced enemies are often panicked by this, and then use up their precious bows and arrows and throwing weapons early.

In addition, such an array is also very flexible, and it can retreat at any time, or attack depending on the situation.

It's a pity that until now, Tun Gu has not noticed that there is the slightest panic in the other party's array.

What was even more troublesome was that his eyes saw the dense array of horses, trenches, and tripwires that stood in front of the formation.

"These damn Wuheng sluts, think that if you learn a few defenses from the Han Dynasty, you can stop me, the great Tungu's horseshoe forward?" Tun Gu pursed his lips disdainfully: "If it weren't for King Ding Ling's order, I wouldn't take the initiative to attack, otherwise I would have let you cheap women know that slaves will always be slaves!" Don't be delusional about being a master! ”

"Advance another three hundred paces, walk in front of their formation, and test their firepower!" Tun Gu ordered loudly.

Then he reined in his horse's head, took his guard, and accelerated forward.

All the cavalry, followed closely.

Tun Gu rushed to the first row in order to show his bravery.

Just like in the past hundred years, the Huns have done in the grassland, facing the Donghu people and the Yueshi people.

The leader of the nobility must be in the front row!

Because, the Xiongnu military law stipulated that if the leader fell into the hands of the enemy or died in battle, his subordinates must regain his head.

Moreover, as long as someone can retrieve the corpses of the war victims, they can inherit their wealth and wives and concubines.

For a long time, the Huns relied on this military law to be invincible and invincible.

Until encountered, out of the plug of the Han horse.

A large number of nobles were shot by the Han like targets.

It was also since then that the Xiongnu nobles did not dare to charge forward at will.

And now, in the face of the Wuheng people, Tungu has once again picked up the tradition of his predecessors.

Because he believed that the gods and ancestors would definitely protect him.

He was even more convinced that it was impossible for the weak Wuheng people to have weapons or people that could harm him.

However......

When he was proud, he was proudly charged.

Suddenly, several screams rang out.

Tun Gu heard the sound and saw a terrible scene with his own eyes - his cousin, who was also his lieutenant, Tun Tudang of the Tun clan, was rolling on the ground in pain.

And his mount is even more miserable than he is.

The poor horse's front hooves struck a trap and, not surprisingly, fell into it.

Looking at the past from Tungu's point of view, he only saw that in the trap, the blood was pouring out, and the horses could only whisper and wail, and they didn't even have the strength to struggle.

"Immediately bring someone to pull up the tun slaughter!" Tun Gu said to one of the knights beside him, and then he continued to lead the team and charge forward.

For the Huns, on the battlefield, encountering all kinds of traps, tripping ropes, trapping trenches, and thistles are all routine.

Nothing to worry about.

It's just a few unlucky ones.

It's completely affordable!

So, although, from time to time, there were cavalrymen who unfortunately stepped on a trap, or were thrown off their horses because their weak points were cut by sharp thistles.

But Tun Gu turned a deaf ear.

With his cavalry, he galloped forward, always keeping a battle queue.

At the same time, make as much noise as possible to create a sound.

Just for one thing - to attract the opponent's archers to fire.

This determines the density of its firepower and the number of archers.

This is a crucial matter, and it is also the key to whether the Xiongnu can successfully break through here.

Even Tun Gu understands the importance of this matter!

If you can't test the number of long-range firepower of these Wuheng people, you won't be able to find weak points and dead ends.

In that case, they will have to fill with their lives and break through with flesh and blood!

……………………………………

Standing on the arrow tower, Zhang Yue looked at the Hun cavalry in front of him in the billowing smoke and dust.

"Pass on the general order of the envoy, order the Wuheng archers to start firing a salvo about a hundred paces before the enemy cavalry reaches the array!" Zhang Yue turned his head and ordered.

"Ah......" Guo Rong, who was standing beside him and waiting, looked at Zhang Yue incredulously and asked, "Serving Zhonggong, will this be too wasteful?" ”

A hundred steps?

Well, the Wuheng people's bow and arrow can't shoot so far at all!

Most likely, even the fur won't hurt the other party!

"Go and herald!" Zhang Yue waved his hand and said, "I can't bear the child, how can I catch the wolf?" ”

Now, the Hun cavalry had no actual contact with the Wuheng people at all.

There is no intuitive understanding of each other.

In other words, in the eyes of the Huns, perhaps any unprofessional behavior of the Wuheng people could be given a reasonable explanation.

And that's what Zhang Yue needs!

Show the enemy to be weak and arrogant.

Only in this way can you increase your chances of winning!

Guo Rong listened, and hurriedly trotted all the way to deliver the order.

In a short time, the order reached the place where the archers were lined up in front.

After receiving the order, although it was difficult to understand, hundreds of Wuheng archers, still under the command of several Han army officers, bent their bows and arrows in unison, and then aimed at the front and began a volley.

Whoosh!

Hundreds of arrows flew into the sky, and then, like a swarm of bees, fell dozens of paces in front of the formation.

At this time, the cavalry of Tungu had not even approached this distance.

This sudden rain of arrows scared Tun Gu and Wu Hengyi in the front row.

"About five hundred archers!" After Tun Gu estimated, he smiled, then reined in the horse's head, turned around, and laughed.

He originally thought that this temptation would cost him dozens, or even more than 100 people.

Which Cheng thought, with only a low price, the purpose of the investigation was achieved!

"Wuheng, it's really the same as back then!" Tun Gu smiled, very happy: "Let's go back and report to King Ding Ling!" ”

"These Wuheng slaves are not a problem at all!"

Such a salvo is the first time Tun Gu has seen it in his life.

For him, this only shows one problem - the enemy he is facing is a group of panicked, two trembling cowards, I am afraid that they have been scared to pee their pants!

And such a coward, even if he gives them a fortified city, can he hold on for a few days?

How much more so in this open field!

Tun Gu felt that as long as the great Hun warriors broke through their horses, entrenchments, stumbling ropes and walls, then they could slaughter these fellows as they pleased.

And those defensive facilities are simply impossible to stop the progress of the great Hun warriors!
