Chapter 173: The Situation

After the sergeant came to report the battle, although Qin Cheng had many doubts in his heart, he had no time to think about it at this time, so he ordered Ma Dashan to lead a thousand heavy cavalry and nearly 10,000 cavalry of Wei Qing's northern and southern armies to block the Xiongnu reinforcements rushing from the north, and the rest of the people rescued Li Guang's department (after a tragic battle, Li Guang's department was basically cleared, and most of the remaining less than 20,000 Hun cavalry were breaking through in all directions at this time), and then launched a counter-charge against the Hun cavalry who tried to rush out, In order to maximize the killing and wounding of the Hun cavalry.

Now the situation on the battlefield is that after a fierce battle between 20,000 Hun cavalry and nearly 40,000 Han troops, the Hun cavalry has been damaged by less than half, for no other reason, only because there are hussar battalions charging in front, and the Han army has an advantage in numbers, so this rather scattered fight is largely a killing of the Hun cavalry. Of course, the situation is not as optimistic as imagined, after all, the combat effectiveness of the Hun cavalry at the critical moment is not weak, so the casualties of the Han army are not small.

At this time, Qincheng dispatched about 10,000 Han troops to block the Hun cavalry attacking from the north, and there were less than 30,000 Han troops to fight against more than 10,000 Hun cavalry, which still had an almost twice the advantage in numbers. In Qin Cheng's opinion, although the Hun cavalry had 10,000 reinforcements, he could still win this battle.

It's just that the price is greater.

After the military order was issued, the doubts in Qin Cheng's heart also became thicker.

Why did 10,000 Hun cavalry appear here out of thin air? Why didn't he receive information from the Chamber of Commerce about the movements of the 10,000 Hun cavalry before, not even a single warning?

All this made Qin Cheng's mood heavier and heavier, and he began to have a bad premonition, a very bad premonition. This premonition made his heart furious, and his whole body was uncomfortable.

This is Qin Cheng's intuition for crises cultivated by his underworld career for more than ten years in his previous life, and it is a terrible intuition.

"Qin Qingzhi!" Qin Cheng explained to Qin Qingzhi with a solemn face, "Dispatch some light horses, double the number of rangers, and expand the warning range to ten miles, but if there is the slightest disturbance, report to me immediately!" ”

"No!" Qin Qingzhi agreed to the promise and went down to make arrangements.

"Qin Lang, it's only 10,000 Hun reinforcements, why are you so serious?" Li Guang asked Qin Cheng suspiciously, "Could it be that there is some big change?" ”

"General, I'm afraid the situation is not good, and I can't tell you clearly for a while." Qin Cheng looked to the north, where Wei Qing and the 1,000 heavy cavalry of the hussar battalion had already exchanged hands with the 10,000 Hun cavalry who came to help, and the battle formations of the two sides were mixed up a few times back and forth.

"That's in a nutshell!" Li Guangdao.

"My intelligence agency, something may be wrong!" Qin Cheng looked at Li Guang and said in a deep voice.

“?!” When Li Guang heard this, he could not hide his astonishment.

The reason why the encirclement and annihilation tactics of more than 30,000 cavalry of the Xiongnu Zuo Xianwang, Zuo Dadanghu, and Zuo Gudu Marquis can be formed this time can be said to rely on the mastery and timely reporting of the Hun army's actions by the Chamber of Commerce intelligence team.

"Now is not the time to think about this, winning quickly is the first priority!" Li Guang groaned and said, "One strength breaks through a hundred skill, as long as we wait for a quick victory, the rest can be discussed later!" ”

"What the general said is very true!" Qin Cheng nodded, the possible accident of the Chamber of Commerce intelligence team made Qin Cheng's heart suddenly ripple, just at this time, Qin Cheng could hardly think normally, but fortunately, he was reminded by Li Guang, Qin Cheng and Li Guang rushed towards the direction with the largest number of Huns.

"Our reinforcements are coming, warriors, fight hard to kill the enemy and rush out!" Zuo Xianwang saw the Hun cavalry who were fighting with Wei Qing, and his heart was settled, looking at the posture, these Hun cavalry were extremely fierce, and they couldn't say that they could rush over to meet their own people, and he felt lucky at the moment, and hurriedly encouraged his soldiers to work hard to break through.

When the Hun cavalry heard the shouting of King Zuoxian, and saw that the reinforcements were two or three miles away, they all had a strength out of thin air, and began to gather and rush in the direction where the reinforcements came.

Today's battlefield situation is changing rapidly, and the positions of the two sides are exchanged several times in an instant, which is really thrilling, and if the heart is not good, I am afraid it will be difficult to bear.

The Huns' cavalry, which was still scattered in all directions to find weak points to break through the encirclement, are now converging to the north, in a vain attempt to rush out of the encirclement and join up with reinforcements in order to survive!

At this time, his worries about the intelligence team of the Chamber of Commerce and his sense of worry about this battle all turned into killing intent, and he looked coldly at the Hun cavalry that was constantly gathering, and greeted the heralds: "Pass my general's order, the mountain armor will lead the heavy cavalry to cut off the Hun cavalry gathered to the north, and Le Yi will lead a light cavalry to roam both sides, disturb the formation with bows and arrows, Ji Zhu protects Le Yi's actions, and kills those who intend to break through to both sides!" ”

"Order again, the other Han army units, quickly end the battle in front of you, General Li bites the tail of the Hun cavalry, and General Gongsun blocks the passage of the Hun cavalry and the Hun cavalry who come to aid them, and must not make the two converge!"

"Order!"

"Order!"

Qin Cheng was the initiator of this battle tactic, so after previous discussions, he had the right to temporarily dispatch the 40,000 Han troops.

After the herald received the order, Qin Cheng no longer had any worries in his eyes, and now, it was useless to think about anything else, and only by killing the Huns in front of him was serious.

Wei Qing took the 1,000 heavy cavalry of the hussar battalion as the vanguard, facing the snow wolf spirit cavalry coming from the north, and his courage did not give in. Today, I have witnessed the hussar battalion's heavy cavalry strong to the perverted front, and the cavalry of Wei Qing's department is doubling their confidence, just waiting for the heavy cavalry to kill a bloody road, and then they rush up to kill the Quartet, and victory will be within reach.

It's not that they're arrogant, it's the heavily ridden soldiers, and it's really beyond their acceptance!

However, when the two armies met, the situation on the battlefield changed abruptly!

And this change made the northern and southern armies under Wei Qing's command no longer able to maintain the contempt for the enemy and arrogance in their hearts.

Snow wolf, a grassland spirit rider trained in the past two years, led by the Hun princess Yi Xue'er. Different from the 10,000 iron cavalry of the hussar battalion that "stayed at home" for two years of training, this is a cavalry unit that has been killing non-stop since it was formed from the beginning. In the past two years, under the command of Yi Xue'er, they have fought against the Han army in the south, fought against other tribes in the steppe, and suppressed the rebellion within the Xiongnu.

If it is said that the hussar battalion has exchanged two years of forbearance for a body of anger, and a body of anger creates a murderous spirit, then for the snow wolf, they have no forbearance, and there is no anger, they only have the naked murderous spirit, the murderous spirit cultivated in the battle again and again, the pure murderous spirit!

Killing is their whole life and mission!

"Divide the wings, snow wolf, kill!" When the two armies were about to make contact, Icher who was galloping on a horse shouted in a deep voice.

As Yi Xue'er's general order was uploaded, 10,000 snow wolf spirit cavalry suddenly changed formations, and the originally neat military formation, led by the platoon, was divided into two sides, leaving the middle position empty!

A thousand heavy cavalry of the hussar battalion were about to kill, and in the blink of an eye, the dense Hun cavalry in front of them was like two torrents, diverging to both sides, and the position of the heavy cavalry in the middle was only blank!

The ice of the heavy riding Qin halberd was still cold, but this time it was not the enemy's long knife or the enemy's body that greeted them, but a piece of air.

Heavy riding and galloping, the speed has reached the highest, in a hurry, and then want to change the formation, but it is not so easy! And the 10,000 charging cavalry that advanced opposite each other galloped past each other in an instant, and there was no chance for the heavy cavalry to change direction!

Wei Qing's face changed in an instant!

A sneer appeared at the corner of Yi Xue'er's mouth.

The military minister Shan Yu may not pay much attention to the general of a small Shanggu County, and Qin Cheng was not the chief general of the three armies two years ago. But Icher is different.

Since she "returned from school" in the Central Plains, Yi Xueer has not returned to the grassland, so she has competed with Qin Cheng, and since then, she has eaten turtles in Qin Cheng's hands three times and twice, which makes her how can she not remember Qin Cheng firmly? Yi Xue'er is not a Xiongnu Dadanyu, and she will never be a Xiongnu Dadanyu, so she doesn't need to pay attention to the entire Dahan, at least not for now. Coupled with the woman's vindictive nature, she returned to the grassland from Wuhuan and pondered how to deal with Qin Cheng wholeheartedly.

Qin Cheng is her fateful enemy!

The first rival in life!

There's no reason why Icher shouldn't spend all day researching and pondering.

The hussar camp, a nickname that had not yet reached the ears of the Huns, had already taken root in Icher's heart.

To train the snow wolf, the first enemy to deal with is the hussar battalion.

More, the composition of the hussar battalion and the combat method of the hussar battalion, even if Yi Xueer can't know everything, can't she still know a thing or two?

Besides, she and Qin Cheng had taught her hands many times before. It is not too difficult for a smart person to find something that is not visible to ordinary people but is very useful.

It is precisely because of this that there is today's scene - a scene where the heavy cavalry is useless for a while!

"Snow wolf, interspersed left and right!" Icher categorically ordered!

After getting her military order, the snow wolf spirit cavalry that was originally diverted to both sides, the front of the army turned, the left turned to the right, and the right to the left, because there were preparations in advance, this change is not too difficult to do!

The well-equipped, well-trained, and battle-hardened Snow Wolf Elite Cavalry, as soon as they struck, was different from ordinary Hun cavalry.

The snow wolf spirit cavalry, which avoided the heavy cavalry front, inserted one left and one right into the cavalry of Wei Qing's department, which was rushing forward vigorously, and its intention could not be more obvious: to cut off the waist!

If it succeeds, then the cavalry of Wei Qing's department will inevitably be in chaos, and the end will not be able to echo, and the defeat will not be far away.

This kind of thing, for the snow wolf, is familiar with the road, and they have done it many times in the previous battle.

And the cavalry of Wei Qing's department, which had not acted for a while, faced such an elite Hun cavalry, and it was the first time to fight in the desert, and its situation was critical!

Seeing that the defeat is coming, the Han army has no way to retreat!

However, will Wei Qing's nearly 10,000 cavalry fail so easily?

If so, Wei Qing would not be Wei Qing!
