Chapter 359 The ambush burns fiercely

"History of the Han Empire: The Family of the Yuan Dynasty": "...... The plan was to go to Yanmen Pass, and Yuan Gong rushed from the eastern part of the grassland with 3,000 horsemen, echoing with the armies of Yanmen and Yunzhong. All the way is like a bamboo, unstoppable, first break the gold-headed king's ten thousand horses, kill the king in the army, the king of the mountain side of the forest is frightened, dare not fight with the battle, lead the crowd and flee. The Han army entered the Xiongnu territory from Liaodong, but in five days, the two kings were defeated, and they entered more than 300 miles, and their morale was greatly boosted. At the end of the month, on a snowy day, the king of eight thousand iron horsemen who came to help, Yuan Gong set up an ambush in the Fox Hunting Ridge, attacked it with fire, the king died, and the army was gone.

At night, there were Huns and strange soldiers, and the genus of the tiger and wolf attacked the Yuan Gong, injured the soldiers, the public was angry, and the gods were killed with all their might. Knowing that the Xiongnu were alone in Longcheng, he drove the whole army and wanted to capture it, and ......! ”

The battle recorded in the history books to kill the Refractive King was the battle between the Black Eagle Army and the Hun cavalry on Fox Hunting Ridge. This is a classic ambush battle, the Black Hawks took advantage of the unique terrain of this place, and wiped out all the 8,000 cavalry of the Qu Archer King by means of fire and crossbow arrows, and no one escaped. After this battle, the five or six nearby Xiongnu tribe kings were frightened, and they all fled without a fight, and there were few obstacles along the way, which created extremely favorable conditions for Yuan Zhao to lead three thousand flying horsemen to attack Longcheng.

Fox Hunting Ridge is formed by the extension of the remnants of the Guyan Mountain Range, and as the name suggests, it is a place with extremely complex terrain. On the grasslands, there are not many places like this. Several deep valleys wind, high hills flanked on either side, and the roads that pass through them are sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, and ordinary people do not usually pass through them except hunters. However, the tranquility here will be broken today, and the ensuing battle is destined to engrave the name of Fox Hunting Ridge deeply in the history books.

The earth began to shake, it was the sound of ten thousand horses galloping, and the Hun cavalry team really rushed here. Chopping wood and the night cat stay behind a huge rock, from which they can see everything in the valley near and far. The boy felt his heart beating so hard, he was excited and scared at the same time, it was the first time he had experienced such a scene where a fierce battle was about to take place, and he did not know what he was going to witness in a moment, maybe victory, maybe defeat!

A hand reached over and took one of his arms, and his heart was a little calm. When Chopwood raised his head to look, he saw that the night cat, whose body was also trembling slightly, although his hands were covered with blood, the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Don't be afraid! Don't make any noise...... In this battle, the Black Eagle Army will definitely win! ”

Out of great trust in him from the bottom of his heart, Chopwood nodded heavily, biting his lip tightly with his teeth, resisting the cold of his body and the fear in his heart, he wanted to watch carefully, watching how those hateful Huns perished!

It would be a mistake to say that the world's perception of the Black Hawks began with their cavalry warfare, and that they were only good at fighting on horseback. In the past few years of recuperating on Changle Plateau, in addition to training cavalry and archery tactics, the most they have carried out is to go to the valleys and dense forests of Zhongnan Mountain to imitate and practice battles again and again, regardless of any climatic conditions.

The horse can charge into battle, and the horse can quickly assemble and change various foot combat methods, which is the basic training of every Black Eagle sergeant. And today, it's time to test the results of their bloody and sweaty training.

All the war horses were concentrated in the hidden place behind the mountain, and the figures under the black battle robes that had been ambushed in the favorable terrain were not afraid of the cold, the crossbow arrows in their hands flashed with a deadly cold, but the blood in their hearts was surging hot!

No one would have the slightest doubt about the impending victory, and as long as Yuan Zhao was behind them, all the Black Hawk soldiers were full of confidence. He led them from Liaodong to kill here, and he had already killed a tribal king, and the other king of the mountain who had been expelled was like a lost dog, and he didn't even have time to pack up the tents and belongings of the tribe, so he led the people to run away without a trace, and he didn't know how to survive in this cold weather.

The waiting time seemed to be extraordinarily long, and a layer of snow white had already fallen on the black battle robe, and Yuan Zhao shook lightly by the side of a bush, brushing off the snowflakes on his shoulders. In such weather, it was not suitable for ambush operations, and the reason why he retreated to this passing place to ambush was just a flash of inspiration in his mind.

This kind of terrain is a good place to fight an ambush, and Yuan Zhao, who has received information that there is a Hun cavalry rushing to the east to look for battle, feels that he can fight in this place, because, in the Black Eagle Army, there is something from Zhenfan, which can help in such an ambush battle! He was seven points sure.

Finally, the first Hun cavalry began to appear in view, and then large groups of men and horses appeared. Wrapped in an aura of iron and blood, the eight thousand cavalry of the Quarling King with their scimitars and bows and arrows flashed with cold light came to the outside of the valley.

Helan Tu, the king of refractive shooting, is the king of the tribe, and the power of life and death of tens of thousands of people is in his hands. At the same time, he is also a fierce general, leading his cavalry to invade the neighbors, and it is difficult to meet opponents, and his generals are also known for their fierceness.

There is a saying among the Han people in the Central Plains called "If you have a hammer in your hand, you can use it to smash anything". This sentence is very vivid, as long as your own strength is strong and invincible, any opponent in front of you will be directly crushed in the past, and you don't need any strategies at all.

The Refractive King now has a hammer in his hand, and it is a large long-handled hammer. Although he hadn't heard that famous phrase, he had always done it. The Huns worshipped such power, and when the warriors on the iron cavalry charged, they would never look back until they had driven out their opponents and never stopped.

Speaking of which, whether in the court of the steppe king or in the cavalry of the Huns, people with the style of the king of refraction accounted for the majority. Although there were also a few Xiongnu generals and tribal kings who were influenced by the Han Dynasty and had a little bit of military strategy, they were very few after all, and they were ridiculed as boastful guys by brave and brilliant people such as King Zuo Xian and King Qu Shu, and were looked down upon.

The four-hooves of the grassland horses seemed to have smelled the breath of the battlefield, and seeing the traces of the horses' hooves on the snow in the middle of the deep valley, the king of bracling did not even hesitate, and directly rode into the valley, and after the steep slope about half a mile away in front, the cloud of smoke seen earlier had gradually drifted away, but from the occasional neighing of the war horses in the wind, it could be judged that the Han army must have just passed here, not far ahead, maybe turn out of the steep slope, and you can charge the horse and start killing!

In the hearts of Helan Tu, the king of bending and shooting, and these arrogant soldiers under his command, they never thought and did not realize that the Hun cavalry, which came and went like the wind, would be ambushed on the grassland. They don't know that in the art of war and tactics of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in the Central Plains, such tricks and tricks are simply countless, and if you find one at random, it is a ready-made example that can be applied.

Yuan Zhao is not a master of the art of war, he has neither that kind of combat experience nor that kind of military talent. But he had an advantage that no general of his time could match, and that was to read thousands of years of what he had known and heard.

"Haven't eaten pork, haven't seen a pig run? Hehe! To deal with these tenacious Huns, do you need too advanced strategy? Look, haven't they already entered our encirclement! Han Yan, can you complete the most glorious task given to you?"

Seeing that most of the thousands of Hun cavalry had entered the valley in a moment's effort, slowing down slightly and passing by, Yuan Zhao gave an order in a relaxed tone to Han Yan, who was already anxiously beside him, who didn't know how many times.

Han Yan didn't say anything, stood up, and took off the longbow from behind her back with an excited expression. Seeing that all the Huns had entered the ambush circle, a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. The trap set by the little marquis is perfect enough, and the prey has arrived as promised, and the next harvest depends on the performance of him, Gongsun Rongnu and Zhang Cigong.

Although Han Yan has a soft side in his bones, he is actually very handsome, and he can be said to be a standard beautiful man, otherwise he would not have been favored by Emperor Liu Che and became his fortunate minister.

Perhaps, everyone has two sides, fierceness and softness may coexist, and bravery and cowardice can also be reflected differently at different times. After the baptism of war all the way, Han Wangxin's eldest grandson has regained the courage of his ancestors. Han Yan is good at shooting, the ancestral hard bow never leaves his body, he is familiar with the string and the buckle, the bow is like a full moon, and the three carved feather arrows in his hand are about to be shot by him, thus opening the prelude to this battle!

Perhaps because of the inaccessibility, the King of Archery smelled a foul pungent smell as he entered the valley, but he didn't care. A large number of shrubs and weeds are overgrown, dead vines and old trees can be seen everywhere, and the carcasses of some animals have rotted and withered, but this is the wind that is the wind that can roll up some mess at any time, mixed with flying snowflakes on the bodies of people and horses. Fortunately, the road at the bottom of the valley is quite wide, and four or five horses can walk side by side, and at most a quarter of an hour's work can be crossed through the valley.

When the front king and his henchmen could already see the banner of the Han army outside the mouth of the valley, they were overjoyed, and they accelerated their speed, and they were about to rush out of the valley, aiming with bows and arrows, raising their scimitars, and killing and killing!

However, a sudden change happened at this time, in the middle of the Hun cavalry team, three sharp arrows shot down from the mountain beam overhead with a sharp whistling, not shooting people or horses, but shooting deep into the half-slope bushes above the head of the Hun cavalry.

The clusters of three arrows were all carrying burning flames, one of which was extinguished by the wind in the middle of the way, but the other two arrows were not affected, and the two flames were still flickering. The nearby Hun cavalry couldn't help but be taken aback, someone sneaked attack! This was their first reaction, but fortunately they didn't hurt anyone, and the accuracy of the Han army's bow and arrow was too poor!

However, before they could react, a fire suddenly ignited within a few hundred meters of the bow and arrow. And as if to signal this, there were also bows and arrows at the exit and entrance of the valley that ignited the fire. At one time, three fires broke out, and in the thick smoke, the Han army that suddenly appeared from the mountains on both sides shouted and killed, and ten thousand crossbows were fired together!

"Han Army...... There was an ambush! Moreover, how can the dead grass and trees in the snow burn......! This was a somewhat unexpected and sudden attack, which made the Qu Archer King shocked and overwhelmed.
