Chapter Eighty-Nine: Such an Army

The two thousand Hun cavalry from the south were the leaders led by Yi Xue'er, and at this time, she learned from the rangers that the Qincheng army was ahead, so the eyes that were already particularly bright because of annoyance were like firewood stacks that had been ignited, and they became even brighter.

Thinking of these days, he has tried his best to set up the Shanggu cavalry, which can be regarded as hard work, even Li Guang, in the face of such a foolproof strategy, it is inevitable that he will fall into the scheme, but it is Qin Cheng, let all this come to naught, how can Yi Xueer not be annoyed with Qin Cheng? Moreover, this is the first time she has led the army to the expedition, and it is the first battle after returning from the Han Dynasty, its importance is self-evident, but it was a mess by Qin Cheng, which is extremely unfavorable to her in the future. Therefore, to say that Yi Xue'er's anger towards Qin Cheng is really monstrous.

When Yi Xue'er led two thousand cavalry to speed up, Qin Cheng also led two thousand cavalry to the south to meet him.

Qin Cheng knew that since he was discovered by the other party, it was impossible to avoid it, so he had no intention of escaping.

When Yi Xue'er finally saw the Han army in the north, she also found a situation that made him even more angry - the Han army actually reversed its direction, from running south to east!

Want to run? Yi Xue'er sneered and said loudly: "Catch up, don't let them run away!" ”

As soon as Yi Xue'er gave an order, the two thousand Hun cavalry behind him immediately let out their trademark wolf howl, brandished the long knives one by one, lined up in a typical long-tongued formation, and bit the Han army's buttocks.

I have to say that every time the Huns charge like this, the momentum is still undoubted, and the bursts of wolf howls, if they are placed at night, have a somewhat terrifying horror effect. This is also the combat experience that the Huns have been living with wolves for many years and fighting with wolves.

In the northern grasslands, there have always been many steppe wolves.

When nomads like the Xiongnu were not fighting the Han army, their greatest enemy was the steppe wolf. Steppe wolves are everywhere, and they act quite humanly, especially when attacking the pastures of the Huns and robbing the cattle and sheep of the Huns, their actions have a strong military color.

The steppe wolf robbed the Huns, the Huns robbed the Han people, the Huns learned the tactics of the steppe wolf, and the Han people now also learned the tactics of the Huns, the Huns used the tactics of the steppe wolf to deal with the Han people, it has always been easy to achieve great results, and the Han people used the tactics of the Huns to deal with the Huns.

It's so interesting to be between man and nature.

The Han army rushed south and suddenly turned to the left, as if a long dragon came to a big dragon swinging its head, which looks a little spectacular.

However, because it took time to complete this action, and the two sides were rushing relative to each other before, when the 2,000 Han army completed this major deflection in this direction, the Huns had already followed closely.

When Qin Cheng chose the return route, he deliberately avoided the middle route and deviated the team to the left, which was also to avoid the possible situation of being surrounded, which had nothing to do with clever calculations, but out of absolute caution, or as it was called, suspicious.

Qin Cheng remembered a very classic sentence said by a great rebel minister in later generations: In this world, it is suspicion that saved the lives of the miscellaneous family!

"Bite it, don't let them run!" Seeing that she was only two or three hundred feet away from the tail of the Han army, Yi Xue'er's previously somewhat gloomy face gradually turned red, perhaps because of excitement, or perhaps because she felt that victory was in sight, and the Han army could not escape.

A shame before the snow, right now.

Yi Xue'er could even imagine that as long as the group of Han cavalry led by Qin Cheng in front of her was eaten, then it would be easy to return to Shanggu and eat Li Guang. Even, after the flying general Li Guang was eaten by himself, the border counties of the Han Dynasty were not allowed to gallop by themselves? Once you can gallop freely to the border counties of the Han Dynasty, then it doesn't depend on your mood to go south to the Central Plains?

What a vision.

If Qin Cheng knew what Yi Xue'er was thinking, he would definitely sigh: It turns out that women two thousand years ago also loved fantasy, and her imagination was so rich!

In any case, the Han army was recuperating in the middle of the night plus a morning, and at this time they naturally had the energy to face the unexpected situation in front of them, and even had a bit of a taste of waiting for work, while the Hun cavalry had just run wild after hundreds of miles as if they were playing for their lives.

"General, further along, the last general really doesn't know the terrain route!" Shanjia followed behind Qin Cheng and marched towards the east with the army, his face was bitter, and he said.

This time he was a guide to the desert in the north, and now facing the unknown ahead, he had to take the lead in showing his ability.

Qin Cheng smiled slightly, with a somewhat mysterious taste, "You don't need to know the direction in the future." ”

Shanjia was stunned for a moment, and Qin Qingzhi said loudly at this time: "General, the Huns have reached a hundred zhang away. ”

Qin Cheng looked back at the Hun cavalry who were following closely behind, and for no reason in his mind, he thought that he was being chased by a large group of wild dogs, just a stunned look, Qin Cheng smiled helplessly, thinking to himself, how could he have such an idea?

"Blow the horn and let Liu Mu and Le Yi reduce the speed a little more!" Qin Cheng said, "No matter how hard they chase them, we can't let them not even smell our smell." ”

Qin Qing's heart showed a sinister smile in understanding, but it also had a bit of Qin Cheng's taste, "Subordinates understand!" Trumpet! ”

As a result, Yi Xueer wondered that after a melodious horn sounded in the Han army formation in front, the Han army not only did not shorten the distance between them and them, but also got closer. Although she was puzzled, she didn't have time to think about it at this time, and since the distance was closer, she just shot it with a bow and arrow!

"Bow!" Behind the Han army's formation, Qin Cheng suddenly shouted loudly.

The cavalry behind the 500 army formation drew the bow and arrows in response, loosened the reins and turned around, and the arrows were aimed at the Hun cavalry behind, and the movements were very neat!

This skill cannot be done by those who are not skilled in arching horses.

It is Qin Cheng, who knows that he can't complete such a difficult action very well, after all, he has only been a cavalryman for more than four months, and he has little time to train equestrian archery after becoming a cavalryman, although he will also ride a horse and shoot arrows before, but in the face of such a difficult action, he can only shout sincerely to the sergeants who bent the bow and arrows with an indifferent face: Count you ruthless!

Qin Cheng can't do this, it is said that it has only been four months since the light cavalry became an army, and he can't do this. But now, this is not the case!

The reason is that the five hundred cavalry behind the Han army formation are all old cavalry, that is, the previous five hundred cavalry leaders!

At this time, they broke away from their own army and were concentrated in the rear of the military formation by Qin Cheng to shoot at the Huns!

It can be said that Qin Cheng really did everything for this war. This kind of disrupting the establishment can only be imagined by him.

The head of the five hundred cavalry is the elite cavalry of the old cavalry battalion, and its combat effectiveness is beyond doubt! They are the only ones who are up to the task of blocking the Hun cavalry at the moment!

In fact, the five hundred cavalry leaders did not all go to the rear of the military formation, and fifty of the leaders were arranged by Qin Cheng to be at the forefront of the military formation, leading the team forward. And the vacancy formed by the head of the fifty cavalry was naturally filled by Qin Cheng's personal army.

Is this a tough tactic?

"Shoot!" At the moment when the five hundred sergeants turned around, Qin Cheng shouted at the same time.

As soon as Yi Xue'er asked his cavalry to prepare to shoot, he saw a large number of Han soldiers in front of him suddenly turn around, and then a rain of arrows flew in the air, and the arrows were like thousands of locusts rushing over together, with some very uncomfortable insect-like whistling sounds, indescribable trouble, which made Yi Xue'er feel cold for a while, and immediately shouted: "Release the arrow!" ”

Two showers of arrows, from two different directions, rushed head-on and crashed into the opponent's military formation!

When you see a rain of arrows composed of thousands of iron arrows, there is an iron arrow facing you, flying towards you from a hundred paces away, you can clearly see the trajectory of the iron arrow, and there is the whirring sound of the arrow rain in your ears, and even you can clearly foresee that the next moment this iron arrow will hit you, oh no, it is on the chest, and then your chest makes a dull sound, and the iron arrow is inserted into your chest, penetrates your heart, and peeks out of the vest. At this moment, you can clearly imagine what kind of touch the iron arrow will bring to you, and the tragic appearance of you falling off your horse next, and then being trampled into flesh on the ground by the hooves of the cavalry horses that followed! But at this moment, you can't dodge this iron arrow, because although it is visible, it is not fast enough to catch up, so you can only watch it fly into your body, and reinterpret the scene you have just foreseen in your mind!

Just thinking about that feeling makes you maddened.

And now, the Hun cavalry was faced with such a situation.

"Ahh

"Ahh

"Ahh

Piercing and heart-piercing screams rang out one after another, accompanied by the neighing of frightened horses, and the last cries of the lives of the two biological species were intertwined, which had a particularly cruel musical beauty.

The first round of mutual fire caused a lot of casualties.

And the casualties of the Xiongnu army were naturally much greater than those of the Han army.

Because the Huns were facing the iron arrows of the Han army, and the Han army was away from the arrows of the Huns, the Huns' rush was not only to shorten the distance between themselves and the iron arrows, but also to increase the impact of the iron arrows, and for the Han army, the situation was diametrically opposite, so many of the arrows shot by the Huns did not touch the Han cavalry, but inserted into the grass behind the butt of the war horse, that is, they touched the arrows of the Han army, and many of them were taken away from most of their power!

In this way, the casualties on both sides are very different!

Running and fighting, this tactic that the Huns are accustomed to and has been tried and tested repeatedly, today finally tasted its bitterness!

Yi Xue'er looked back and saw so many cavalry being shot off the horse, her heart ached, and tears almost fell, when she looked back and saw that few of the Han cavalry were shot down, she was angry and wanted to scold her mother!

Yi Xue'er and the others couldn't do anything to the Han army running in front, but when she looked at some of the Han cavalry in the Han army that were unfortunately shot off her horse, she wanted to tear them to pieces, just like other Hun cavalry.

Some of the Han cavalry who were unfortunately shot off their horses by the Huns became the targets of the Huns' wrath.

But will they obediently tie their hands and let the Huns be crooked?

"Kill!"

A Hun centurion saw that a Han cavalry in front of him was shot in the leg of a horse by an arrow, the horse's body was crooked, and he fell to the ground, and the knight above was thrown off.

Just when the centurion could already imagine that his long knife slid through the neck of the Han knight who had just stood up and cut off his head, the Han knight, who had obviously suffered a lot of injuries, lowered his body and pulled out his long knife!

When the centurion missed the knife and saw the long knife drawn by the Han knight, he immediately had a bad feeling in his heart. Sure enough, when the knight lowered his body, the long knife slashed the leg of the centurion's warhorse!

When the centurion fell off his horse, his heart was suddenly infinitely cold, because he had already met his fate - in the galloping cavalry formation, the infantry could not avoid it at all, even if it was his own military formation, he would inevitably be trampled into pulp!

When the centurion looked at the culprit who had made him face this fate, he found that the Han knight was plunging his long knife into the belly of a galloping horse, and at the same time, he was slashed in the back by one of his own cavalrymen!

Seeing this, the centurion smiled.

But in the next second, his smile froze on his face, because the Han knight who had already been stabbed in the back just stumbled, and then he actually stood firm, pulled out a dagger from his waist, and threw it straight at him, because the distance was too close, he didn't have time to dodge, and he was thrust into his chest by the flying dagger!

The knight of the Han army threw a dagger, and a mouthful of blood came out of his mouth, and the knight who was holding on roared, revealing his mouth and teeth overflowing with blood, and as soon as he used his body, he hit the legs of a Hun cavalryman's horse and horse next to him!

The Hun cavalry war horse was blocked, the horse's body was crooked, and the knight on the horse inevitably fell down. At this time, the chest of the Han sergeant had sunk a large piece, presumably caused by the violent impact. The knight fell to the ground, and the horseman who followed closely behind the Hun cavalry, his legs already raised high, was about to step down on his body.

The knight of the Han Army, who still had a breath, glanced at his own military formation, and just saw that Qin Cheng was also looking back, and the eyes of the two collided all of a sudden.

Seeing Qin Cheng's sad and indignant expression, the knight actually grinned, and shouted to Qin Cheng in a voice that only he could hear, to this hussar captain who had turned into reality what they had said when they could only complain on weekdays as daydreams: "General...... Come on! ”

In this life, I can follow the general into the desert and take the Huns' nest, it's worth it!

The light in the knight's eyes dissipated, and when he was about to close his eyes to the sky, he saw that the horse that was about to step on him was shot in the head by an arrow, and fell crookedly.

The knight closed his eyes, a smile on his lips.

Around this knight, actions similar to his took place among the Han knights who fell behind and the Hun cavalry who rushed up.

Will they obediently tie their hands and let the Huns cool and crooked?

The answer is obviously not!

……

For the generals to plan far-sightedly, for the dead to fight to the death, such an army, how can it be invincible?
