Chapter 174: Change

Wei Huo has become one of the eternal symbols of the history of the Han Dynasty in later generations, and in the history of the next thousands of years, he is a well-known warrior to the people. Ban Gu spoke highly of Wei Qing in the "Book of Han" as 'Changping Huanhuan, the Yuan of the General'. Later, Cao Cao asked his son Cao Zhang's ambition, and he said: "The eldest husband should learn from Wei Qing, Huo Quai, make meritorious contributions to the desert, drive hundreds of thousands of people, and dominate the world, how can he be a doctor?" ”

The general, Wei Huo, is the highest glory. The extraordinary role played by the cavalry in future wars has made countless military generals highly respect the innovators and masters of these two cavalry tactics.

These are all the knowledge in Qin Cheng's memory.

Therefore, although it is not known who the Hun cavalry from the north is to rescue King Zuo Xian and others, Qin Cheng asked Wei Qing to meet the enemy, plus a thousand heavy cavalry, thinking that it must be more than enough, slaughtering chickens with a knife.

The battle has not lasted for a long time, but the situation on the battlefield has changed too quickly, making people feel that time is long when they keep exchanging emotions of tension and relaxation, hope and despair.

At this time, Qin Cheng had already broken away from the center of the battlefield, and immediately went to a higher grassy hill on the edge of the battlefield, overlooking the entire battlefield.

At present, it is more important for a commander of 40,000 people to keep abreast of the situation on the entire battlefield and make flexible judgments than to take the lead.

Qin Cheng's ring-headed knife had already entered the sheath, and at the interface between the scabbard and the hilt, a trace of blackened blood flowed out, and it was still a little warm.

Qin Cheng hung the ring head knife on his waist, his left hand was propped up on the hilt, and his index finger was rhythmically on the handle of the knife, and his vision not only saw the thirty or forty thousand cavalry who were fighting in front of him, but also the Wei Qing Department and the 10,000 Hun reinforcements who were fighting fiercely not far away, and there was also a large empty grassland left.

There was a slight breeze today, blowing the long green grass and gently swinging its head, and also blowing the hem of Qin Cheng's red robe slightly fluttering.

After a fierce fight, a lot of Qin Cheng's long hair fell from his helmet, some of which were mixed with congealed or flowing blood sticking to his face, while others fluttered in the wind.

Qin Cheng stood quietly in place, motionless, only staring coldly, looking at the chaotic and noisy battlefield in front of him.

In this battle, the situation should be clear and unclear, but the uncertainty seems to have been clear.

As long as the 10,000 Hun reinforcements are withstanded, as long as the Xiongnu army that has been surrounded in the middle is killed, this battle can come to an end.

But will things really go so smoothly?

Qin Cheng didn't dare to speak up.

The matter of the Chamber of Commerce's intelligence team was still entangled in his heart, and he had to worry a lot at this time.

What's going on with the Chamber of Commerce? Nangong Shang, where is he at this time?

Everything is a mystery, a mystery that is now unsolvable but confusing.

Qin Cheng was still standing in place, his face expressionless, his eyes were deep, and not far away, the scattered rangers were galloping back and forth in the four fields.

But Wei Qing said that Wei Qing's heart was tense when he saw that the Hun cavalry in front of him was decisively diverted, making the impact of the heavy cavalry full of strength useless.

The situation on the battlefield has always been ever-changing, there is no army that can absolutely win, and there is no plan that can absolutely win, and the fighter plane is fleeting, and if you don't catch it carelessly, tens of thousands of people will die in vain. Wei Qing has long understood this.

Therefore, all generals must keep their minds calm and think carefully at all times. Wei Qing has been by Liu Che's side for so many years, and once he was ordered to lead the army to the battle, he naturally did not dare to be careless. Although the hussar battalion was fierce, Wei Qing would not put all his chips on them.

It is common sense that there must be preparatory tactics and a reserve army in battle.

Therefore, when the snow wolf skillfully avoided the heavy cavalry front and divided to both sides, he thought of several combat plans that the other party might implement: one was to directly avoid their 10,000 Han army and go straight to the battlefield to rescue King Zuoxian; One cut them off at the waist. The former tactic seems straightforward and straightforward, but it is also a dangerous solution that is not easy to implement. Charge head-on, avoid it if you want to, how can there be such a cheap thing? Moreover, even if they are lucky enough to avoid it, Wei Qing's 10,000 iron cavalry only needs one turn back to bite the tail of this group of Hun cavalry, and when the time comes, they will not only be unable to rescue the encircled Hun cavalry, but even they themselves will be surrounded!

Therefore, this scheme can be ignored.

Then there's the second possibility. The Hun cavalry wanted to cut them off, charge back and forth, and crush their military formations into pieces, and then Wei Qing and these people had to be defeated. Even if there are still remnants, it will not be able to form an encirclement, and it will be difficult to have the strength to stop their charge after saving people.

Yes, Wei Qing reacted decisively.

After the snow wolf elite cavalry diverted to both sides, Wei Qing ordered the rear team to turn left and the front team to turn right, and the two acted separately, and at the same time ordered the 1,000 hussar battalion to ride back and turn back, and kill a horse gun after the front team left the original gallop line. The rear team that turns left and the front team that turns right follow the direction of the snow wolf spirit horseman's horizontal slash, in a parallel posture with them, or shoot with bows and arrows, or engage in hand-to-hand combat!

If the Han army of Wei Qing's department is a red dragon, then when the white dragon in front of it is divided into two, showing a semicircle on the left and right, interspersed with the waist of the red dragon, the red dragon is strangely divided into two at this time, the second half of the red dragon almost ran out with a white dragon, and the first half of the red dragon was after a big turn, followed closely by another white dragon, and started a fight!

"Shoot the arrows!"

Almost at the same time, Wei Qing and Yi Xue'er shouted orders.

After an order, a burst of arrows flew out of the two long dragons' bodies, smashing into the opponent's military formation, which was really not far away!

Those who were shot screamed and turned over and fell off their horses, and those who were not shot continued to gallop on their horses, draw bows and arrows, and shoot fiercely at the opposing army formation under the orders of their respective generals!

There is no absolute boundary between shooting and being shot, and when the sergeants aim their bows and arrows at the opposing camp and release the bowstring in their hands, they also know that it is only a matter of time before they are shot and shot.

It is only a matter of time before the enemy is killed or killed, in a head-on confrontation of equal strength. Such armies of both sides, fighting to the end, will either lose both, or annihilate the whole army!

If there is a group of people in this world who are destined to die from the very beginning, then this is the military!

......

When the heavy cavalry of the 1,000 hussar battalion that came with Wei Qing galloped back again, it was no longer useful, whether it was the snow wolf spirit cavalry or Wei Qing's department, they were galloping on the grassland in a whole team, shooting each other, and their speed was not something they could keep up with. Heavy riding is made for frontal charges, and speed is not their performance.

Therefore, under the command of the captain of the first lieutenant, this thousand hussar battalion heavy cavalry broke away from this fierce and unusual and very visual battlefield, but it had nothing to do with them, and rushed to the south, where the Han army and the Xiongnu who were fighting were their battlefield!

Even if Wei Qing can't win in the face of Yi Xue'er's snow wolf spirit cavalry, as long as he is undefeated, his mission has been achieved. Because Yi Xue'er's ten thousand snow wolves can't rush into the battlefield two or three miles away, they are destined to be unable to rescue their comrades there!

The goal of their trip was to save people, not to kill the enemy, who was only incidental and had to do something. And now, they can't do anything but kill as many enemies as they can!

The battle continued, and the intensity of the battlefield did not become smaller because of the continuous extension of time, on the contrary, at this point, all the fighting has entered the white heat, and it is difficult for the two sides to have other tactical advantages, and the fight is completely the soldier-and the soldier's life!

When Liu Mu arrived at Qin Cheng's side with a ragged knight, he looked at the hellish battlefield and lost his mind for a moment.

Qin Cheng remembered that a general in the Soviet Union said in later generations: War, for ordinary soldiers and middle- and lower-ranking officers, is a huge meat grinder.

And the battle in front of him, with the participation of 80,000 cavalry, is undoubtedly a huge meat grinder.

And I have to say that a complete cavalry battle, compared to an infantry battle, its visual impact is definitely different. If the battle of 80,000 infantry can only be regarded as a big lake with rolling waves, then the battle of 80,000 cavalry can only be compared with the ocean of monstrous waves.

Qin Cheng didn't have much compassion for others, but in the face of so many lives dying one by one in front of him, he couldn't be indifferent.

"General!" Liu Mu saw that Qin Cheng was a little distracted, and he called out.

Qin Cheng turned his head and saw Liu Mu, as well as a green knight beside Liu Mu who was covered in blood, ragged clothes, and his face was as pale as paper.

The knight also held a long knife in his hand, the blade of which was already a little curled, and there were many gaps, as if to tell the story of how difficult it was to fight.

Qin Cheng could naturally see at a glance that this person must have gone through a fierce battle and was seriously injured. In fact, Qin Cheng looked at his appearance, and he was already very impressed in his heart that he could still insist on riding on a horse without falling.

Qin Cheng, a man in Tsing Yi, recognized that he was a member of the Nangong Chamber of Commerce and an important figure in the intelligence team of the Chamber of Commerce.

So as soon as he saw Zhang Da like this, Qin Cheng's heart couldn't help but sink, and he knew that what he was most worried about had happened.

Zhang Da's injuries naturally could not have been caused when he crossed the battlefield, and when he arrived at this battlefield, the Han army had enough manpower to ensure his safety, even if he didn't have a knife in his hand, he could still pass through the battlefield and reach Qin Cheng.

Before Qin Cheng could ask a question, Zhang Da hugged his fist towards Qin Cheng with mixed tastes, and before he could say anything, a man at the top of the top actually shed tears first, his voice was extremely hoarse, which made his voice change tone, and as soon as his mouth moved, his lips cracked several times, and the red blood was squeezed out, he lowered his head in shame and said to Qin Cheng: "General, the intelligence team has been wiped out, and President Nangong has been arrested!" The subordinates went all the way south to report to the general, and asked the general to plan in advance! After that, the long knife crossed his neck, and his voice was slurred due to a serious tone change, and he roared: "General, my subordinates are sorry for the general's cultivation and the trust of President Nangong!" When he said the last word, the long knife wiped his neck fiercely!
