Chapter Ninety-Four: Why

The rout of the Hun cavalry was not because their combat strength was not strong, but because the appearance of the Han army's heavy cavalry was too unexpected, and in the face of powerful unknown things, it was easy to have fear in the heart, and for the sergeants, once the army's heart floated, defeat was a natural thing.

The charge of more than 3,000 Han troops against 3,000 Hun cavalry did not last long before it reached the end stage, and most of the Hun cavalry was annihilated, and a small half of it ran away.

In the grassland, a land with such a vast space, it was not very laborious for the unbesieged cavalry to flee for their lives. The Hun cavalry wanted to escape, but Qin Cheng let the light cavalry chase after him for a while, and then collected his troops back.

In this battle, more than 1,500 enemies were annihilated, two or three hundred were captured, and Ashna, the leader of this Hun cavalry, was also beheaded in the chaos. Compared with the Hun cavalry, the casualties of the Han cavalry were very few.

When cleaning the battlefield, Li Guang looked at the battlefield in front of him, and was in a good mood, the dullness of the past ten days was swept away, and the old man had a smug smile on his face, and smiled at Qin Cheng: "The peak and the road turned, after all, I still won this war, and the depression of the past few days was swept away, and today can be regarded as a big breath of evil!" I have such cavalry in the upper valley, and the Huns will not have the capital to show off their might in front of us in the future, just think about it, and the general will feel proud of it! Ben will fight a lifelong battle with the Huns, and he has never felt so happy! ”

After speaking, Li Guang paused, looking at Qin Cheng with admiration in his eyes, and some relief, "Qin Lang, you are really a deputy general!" To say that the general was also worried about the development of heavy cavalry and light cavalry in the army, but now that there is such a battle, the general can be regarded as down-to-earth. ”

Li Guang's heart was stirring, how could Qin Cheng not be excited? Seeing that the army he created single-handedly defeated Waiyi and kept a piece of his homeland, Qin Cheng's mood at the moment can be imagined, but Qin Cheng has not completely relaxed at this time, because he knows that this war is not over at this time, there is nothing good about being happy early, and it is the most important thing to be able to laugh until the end, so Qin Cheng calmed down and said: "The power of heavy cavalry and light cavalry is more than this, if you can go to the battlefield after a year or two of training and then hone it a few times, the combat power will definitely be stronger." As for the current war, it cannot be said that we have already won. ”

Li Guang bowed slightly when he heard Qin Cheng's words, and his tone calmed down, "You run back from the desert, and the pursuers of the Hun cavalry should be almost there." ”

Qin Cheng looked at the battlefield that had been cleaned, but he smiled lightly and said, "Even if the chasing soldiers come at this time, it will be useless." ”

Li Guangshun looked at the Han cavalry who was already in formation with Qin Cheng's eyes, his face was extremely confident, "That's true. ”

Icher was angry.

Especially when she saw the hundreds of cavalry under Ashina fleeing for their lives, her face was already gloomy to the extreme, and Yi Xue'er had to take a few deep breaths to barely get angry, but ordered more than 4,000 Hun cavalry to continue to the south in a cold tone.

The cavalry who ran back naturally described the horror of the Han army's heavy cavalry to Yi Xue'er, but Yi Xue'er only thought that this was an excuse for these remnants to excuse themselves, after all, she had not seen the heavy cavalry with her own eyes during this expedition, and she did not have the concept of heavy cavalry in her mind, so naturally she could not imagine the fierceness of the heavy cavalry.

Yi Xueer led the army to the south this time, from more than 10,000 people at the beginning, to only five or six thousand people left, maybe even she herself does not know how she folded so many generals, she thought that she was foolproof of the trick, but she failed when she thought she was about to succeed, and every step of it was very realistic, and it was also very puzzling.

So Yi Xue'er did not choose to withdraw immediately, but continued to go south, there is still a knot in her heart that has not been untied, if this knot is not untied, she may wonder if the art of war she has learned in the Central Plains for so many years is the moon in the well.

When Qin Cheng saw Yi Xue'er again, there were thousands of people behind each side, looking at each other from a distance of two hundred zhang.

Yi Xue'er has lost half of his men and horses, and now although the gap between the two sides in terms of numbers is still very large, it is not as obvious as it was at the beginning, and with two thousand quasi-heavy horses behind him, Qin Cheng is not afraid of Yi Xue'er and his five or six thousand Hun horsemen.

When Yi Xue'er rushed here at full speed and saw the three thousand cavalry behind Qin Cheng waiting in formation, she did not immediately order the cavalry to charge into battle.

After learning of Ashina's defeat, Yi Xueer still went south here, not to break the net with the Han army.

Moreover, even if Yi Xue'er was sure to eat the more than 3,000 Han troops in front of her, in such a face-to-face situation, Yi Xue'er knew that her casualties would be very large.

In this way, the two armies fought against each other from a hundred feet.

The Han cavalry raised their chins high one by one, and used their chins to look down at the Hun cavalry hundreds of feet away, and at this time, they already had their own pride in their hearts.

They are the victorious division, and the victorious division is naturally proud in the face of its defeated generals.

They have the capital to be proud.

For them, this is a kind of self-confidence that they have gained after suddenly breaking down their opponents after being suppressed by them for sixty or seventy years.

So, they are very proud.

Yi Xue'er walked out of the army formation from a personal soldier and walked to the center of the open space between the two armies, and his personal soldiers shouted in a loud voice: "The commander of the Great Huns asks General Qin to come out and speak!" ”

Li Guang and Qin Cheng glanced at each other, and Qin Cheng walked out from the front of the military formation.

"I haven't seen you for many days, don't come unharmed." Qin Cheng smiled at Yi Xue'er, smiling and joking.

Yi Xue'er glared at Qin Cheng, and immediately cut to the point, "Earlier, Li Guang led his troops to chase him all the way from Yangzigou to here, but you took the initiative to go deep into my desert, so you are so sure that I have made a trap for you?"

"I'm sure." Qin Chengdao, seeing that Yi Xue'er was not too convinced, added: "At least when I learned the news that you attacked Yangzigou at night and headed north, I was convinced of this. ”

"Why?" Yi Xue'er said coldly, in fact, this is the question she really wants to ask, she thinks that her plan is foolproof, and the Han army has no reason to be hit, but in the end, the Han army still sent her ambush, so that she not only gained nothing, but also lost a lot of soldiers and horses.

"Why?" Qin Cheng frowned, and said leisurely: "Because I didn't believe it from the beginning."

Yi Xue'er was stunned for a while, and looked at Qin Cheng in a daze, as if she was puzzled, and seemed to be waiting for Qin Cheng to explain.

"From the very beginning, you thought that you would think that there were only more than 2,000 people and five small teams in the south, but don't you think that the more you act like this, the more your true intentions will be exposed?"
