Chapter 12 Ambush Strategy

Huo Quzhi sat on the horse, and it took a long time to look back from the Hun army in the distance, the grass that had just grown could only lose his horse's hooves, and the war horse had trampled the grass under the hooves.

Since yesterday afternoon, he has arrived in this area under the leadership of scout Qu Changlang Ruyi.

He watched a large area of the Hun military camp from east to west from afar, and even when it was dark, he did not leave, but carefully observed the Hun guards at night.

On the other side was not so much a military camp as a large herdsman's camp of tabernacles and lehr carts.

It's strange that the Huns don't seem to have the habit of sentry, even if Huo Qubing is just a mile away from the Hun barracks, the Huns don't know anything.

At night, the men and women of the Huns sang and danced all night around the fire, during which many children were playing by the fire, and it could be seen that they seemed to be very happy, and did not fall asleep until dawn.

"Give me three thousand iron cavalry, and I will dare to attack the Huns' military fortress now!"

Huo Quzhi glanced at the only dozen riders around him with regret, and sighed.

"General, the guards on the periphery are all Hun herdsmen, this is their practice, if we attack, we will only kill some herdsmen, and behind the herdsmen is the place where the Hun army gathers."

Lang Ruyi reminded his general in a low voice.

Huo Quzhi shook his head and said: "I just want to drive these shepherds, cattle and sheep run in the direction of the Hun military camp, as long as the Xiongnu army can be scattered for a while, it is the best opportunity for our door to attack."

Go back, if you don't go back, Alang and they should be in a hurry. ”

Lang Ruyi's face was gloomy, he knew that he didn't have any good fruit to eat after he went back, and the general might help him speak, but in front of Sima, the general who made a mistake didn't have much right to speak.

A small group of cavalry galloped on the grassland, and along the way, there were constantly spilled outposts returning to the team, and after a while, forty cavalrymen followed behind Huo Quai.

With such a big target, no matter how dull the Huns were, they would find it, so two groups of cavalry quickly surrounded Huo Qubing from the east and west.

"Wave the dragon flag!"

Huo Quai, who was galloping, commanded loudly, and his personal soldier Wei Yang immediately took out a flag from his arms, skillfully put the flag on the spear, and inserted it into the lintel in front of the saddle.

"There's a Ranger ahead—number nine—"

A scout shouted from the left to join the group.

Huo Quzhi roared: "Rush! ”

After speaking, he took out the short spear behind his back and held it in his hand, while the rest of the soldiers took out their well-wound crossbows one after another, and the accuracy of throwing the spear on horseback was not very good, and they did not have the perverted ability of Huo Qubing to throw the spear thirty zhang away with the momentum of the war horse.

Almost instantly, a Hun cavalryman appeared behind the withered yellow barren grass, and as soon as the barren grass was exposed on his chest, the throwing gun in Huo Quzhi's hand was thrown out, and the war horse continued to gallop wildly.

Within a distance of thirty zhang, even Huo Qubing only had the opportunity to throw two throwing spears, in order to quickly pass the interception of the Huns, he gave up throwing the second one, and when the first throwing spear was still flying in the air, the spear was already in his palm.

The force of the spear was so great that as soon as the second Hun appeared, the spear had already pierced the chest of the first Hun who appeared, and the blood with a large canopy penetrated the body of the Huns, and finally pierced into the ground.

The outcropping Huns shouted, brandished their scimitars and advanced instead of retreating, screaming and rushing towards Huo Qu's sick army.

Arrows like flying locusts......

The veteran Wei Yang crossed Huo Quai's horse, and before the Hun man covered with crossbow arrows fell off his horse, he swung his knife and cut off his head, and another guard probe grabbed the head of the person flying in front of him and hung it on his horse's neck at will.

Several wolf-tooth arrows shot out from behind the barren grass, and Huo Quzhi and the others casually blocked their eyes with their arms, and they didn't even bother to raise the shield on their legs.

The Huns' archery skills were very good, but the wolf's tooth arrow drew a white mark on Huo Quzhi's armor and didn't know where it flew there.

The war horse with light armor rushed into the thin military formation of the Huns like a wild beast, the contact was only a moment, the advantage in weapons offset the advantage of the Huns' riding skills, Huo Quai's spear easily pierced the Huns' leather shield, and let go of the spear, and the spear remained on the chest of the Huns, waiting to be retrieved again by the victorious master.

After the steel knife collided with the scimitar of the Huns, it easily cut off the scimitar, and then harvested the life behind the scimitar.

In the high-speed collision, only the thick mace could knock the Han army's steel knife into the air, and then smashed it into the Han army's chest, and when the Han soldier fell off the horse, six or seven spears had already pierced the body of the Hun who injured him.

The cavalry clashed, and victory and defeat were only in a matter of moments.

The cavalry outflanked from the east and west witnessed the battle, and shouted angrily, but there was no better way to save the battle that had become a reality, and the horses were flying in the air, but they could not fly to the edge of the dragon banner at once.

There was no time to harvest the collection of the Huns, the companion who vomited blood and fell to the ground, was dragged by three ropes and slid on the ground, as the rope continued to tighten, with the help of his companions, he was pulled up in the air and landed on the back of a horse, three war horses galloped left and right beside him, and the three ropes firmly tied him to the back of the war horse.

Arrows like flying locusts...... In the end, the kinetic energy was consumed, and they could only fall to the ground helplessly, and the two Hun cavalry converged into one, and bit tightly behind Huo Quai, who had just broken out of the encirclement, and hated to break them into pieces.

The war horses of the Han Dynasty were not as good as the divine horses of the Huns, and seeing that the Huns were chasing closer and closer, Huo Qubing had to reduce the speed of the black horses in order to keep himself in the same army formation as his companions.

"General, let's go!"

Lang Ruyi urged the war horse like crazy, if there were too many enemies, he really wanted to turn the horse's head and snipe the enemy, so as to give the general more time to leave.

However, he also knew very well that he was followed by at least a thousand Hun cavalry, and fifty people turned around to fight, and they were simply going to die, and there was no way to create any chance for the general.

Lang Ruyi heard the sound of wolf teeth and arrows whizzing through the air in his ears, and at this time, he did nothing else except lie on the horseback to reduce the area of the arrow.

"Whoosh." Huo Qubing threw three throwing spears one after another, each of which could kill a Hun, and those Huns quickly bypassed the ownerless war horses and continued to approach.

"Woooooooo

A melodious and desolate horn sound came from a very distance, and the Hun cavalry chasing Huo Qubing couldn't help but glance back, and the war horse under his crotch also slowly slowed down, and finally saw Huo Qubing and his people getting farther and farther away from them.

Right in front of Huo Qu's illness, there was dust......

Yun Lang's heart was about to jump out, and he kept throwing the dust in the leather bag to the ground, so that You Chunma could drag the thick branches to raise the dust even more.

It wasn't until the horn of the Huns retreating came that they found that their whole body was soaked in cold sweat.

Fifty cavalrymen discarded the branches on the horse's tail, turned out from behind the small earthen bag with fifty flags on their backs, and stood straight on the earthen bag, looking down on the slowly retreating Hun cavalry.

After a while, Huo Qubing came to the earthen bag and watched with Yun Lang how the Huns retreated.

"These Huns are very fast!" Huo Quzhi was a little emotional.

"It's inevitable, when we're still chasing thick armor, sharp spears, they're chasing speed.

Speed is their thing, and without it, they're a flock of lambs to the slaughter! ”

"So, we have to be tigers, leopards, wolves, not only with sharp teeth and claws, but also with speed!"

"You've got it, you ran pretty fast just now......"

"You created the illusion of dust, so that the Huns thought that there were ambushes here?"

"Yes, it has only rained, and it may be strange that the cavalry will have a dusty scene, but fortunately, the Huns are more stupid and didn't find out, if they are smart enough, we may have to lose a lot of brothers."
