Text Chapter 505 Flags and Drums Battle Pingchuan
With the Xiongnu army, it was not only the Han soldiers and soldiers, but also the ministers and envoys sent by many countries in the Western Regions. When it comes to the future destiny of their own country, no one dares to be negligent.
In order not to be affected in this Han-Hungarian war, they all adhered to the king's will and came to the army of the Hun Evil King with generous gifts, in order to dredge up the relationship in advance and seek the most secure situation for their respective countries.
These people all trembled and carefully obeyed the arrangements of the Huns, and when they were ordered by the Hun general to follow the Chinese army to watch the battle, no one said a word.
The army marched, people like fierce tigers and horses, like dragons, stepping on countless smoke and dust. The momentum formed by tens of thousands of Hun cavalry is not something that ordinary countries can bear.
The people who accompanied him were all pale and their hearts were pounding, with the strength of any country in the Western Regions, I am afraid that they would not be able to stop the Xiongnu iron cavalry from rushing forward! In the current situation, as long as the Evil King and the King of Hutu change their minds slightly, no matter which unlucky country it is, they will be trampled into powder immediately.
At this moment, no one had any hope for the Han army that was now in the Western Regions. Not to mention that the difference in strength between the two sides is more than ten times, even under the same conditions, it is difficult to win a head-to-head battle with the Hun cavalry!
There were about 100 of these people from all over the world, and they were wrapped up in the march of the army, and after the Chinese army, the figures of the two Hun kings surrounded by ten thousand horsemen could be faintly seen. Under the banner of hunting, like two real blue wolves, leading their group and rushing towards the goal.
It is foreseeable that it will not be long before the green meadows between the sand dunes and the Gobi will be stained red with blood. The plants and trees watered with blood will surely be more vigorous in the coming year. And those blood and bones must belong to the Han army.
When they think about this, frustration and confusion take over their hearts again. Their kings and subjects were enthusiastic about the Han Dynasty's signal to the west, thinking that there might be hope for freedom from the oppression and slavery of the Xiongnu, but the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Now it seems that there is no need to wait for the dust to settle after the war, and there is no hope at all just by relying on the overwhelming Hun cavalry.
What a pity! Why didn't the emperor of the Han Dynasty send more people? 100,000 or 200,000 may be about the same, but with less than 10,000 people, they want to settle the affairs of the Western Regions and eradicate the Xiongnu forces? Thinking of the Haikou that Han Chen had boasted about his king, many people secretly shook their heads, unanimously believing that it was a fool's dream!
An ordinary young man dressed as a non-commissioned officer of the Han Dynasty also followed them, and he didn't know what his origin was. But since he came here, he must also be a person who obeys the will of the Xiongnu prince. None of them thought much about it.
Such a huge march was also one of the few for the Huns. A similar situation basically appeared in several large-scale invasions of the Han Dynasty in the past. In general, for border raids, it is enough to dispatch only a few thousand to tens of thousands of people. The scale of more than tens of thousands is enough to break through and enter the interior of the Han Dynasty.
So after the Red Fire Army is wiped out this time, do you need to do this? The Evil King of Hun and the King of Hutu had discussed before sending troops. In the end, it was unanimously decided to first gather the Western Regions to strengthen the power, and then plot to attack the Han Dynasty or bargain with Shan Yuyi to seek greater benefits.
The situation is very good, and the prospects are broad! Although King Hutu had just gone through the humiliation of defeat and lost most of the tribe's elite at one time, if he could get a larger territory and recuperate well in the next few years, his strength would soon be replenished. Therefore, at this moment, King Hutu, who was riding on a horse, was again in high spirits, and what he had to do now was to send all the people of that Han army to hell, so that they would never be able to turn over, so as to relieve the cruelty in his heart!
Compared with the recklessness and cruelty of King Hugh Tu, the evil king is a little more elegant. Although he is also the king of the grassland, the leader of the big tribe and the reckless warrior, this person is more thoughtful and thoughtful. For a long time, Hugh Tu Wang was brave, and he was strategic, and the two of them cooperated tacitly, and only then did they achieve the foundation of this western grassland.
Countless flying horses and scouts kept passing messages back and forth. Strangely, all the information indicates that the Han military camp stationed in front of the rolling sand dunes shows no signs of evacuating or evading. Although they couldn't run far if they wanted to run under the comprehensive blocking and encirclement of the Xiongnu army, it was a very abnormal thing to wait for the arrival of a powerful enemy in this way.
According to the scouts, the Han army camp was full of flags, and there was a faint sound of drums, because they were afraid of startling the snakes, they did not get too close, but just observed from a distance. However, it has been determined that the Han army has not left, and they are still resting there.
In this way, the surrendered Han general is still of some use. The news he brought said that he had secretly cut off the supply of grain and grass for these Han troops, and it seemed that what he said was true. Han Jun, hum! I'm afraid I'm already panicking now, right? Maybe they don't stay, it's not that they're not afraid, but they haven't figured out where to go next. ”
The Evil King turned his head on his horse and whispered something to King Hugh. King Hutu couldn't help but nod his head in agreement, and then said through gritted teeth.
"What Brother Wang said is extremely true! That's how it should be. Not only did they lack food and grass, but they also suffered serious losses in both weapons and combat effectiveness in the first two major wars. We must not let go of a single soldier this time, after killing them all, from the general to the soldiers, I will personally cut off their heads, and pay tribute to the dead Hun warriors! ”
"It will be as the king and brother wish......!" Hahaha! ”
Seeing that King Hutu had finally recovered from his sadness, the Evil King was also relieved. While marching side by side, he instructed the Xiongnu generals and the commanders to line up in battle formation, with 20,000 people as the vanguard, and strive to level the Han army camp with one blow.
The two fierce Hun commanders immediately ordered their subordinates to hold their strong bows, as long as they entered the firing range, they would first shoot a few rounds. I believe that you don't have to wait for the cavalry to fight, just the strength of these bows and arrows can disrupt the Han army, which is already unstable, and defeat most of them.
The latest report from the flying cavalry in front of the two armies is less than 30 miles apart, and the golden drums in the Han military camp should be surprised by the arrival of the Hun army and are preparing for a desperate battle.
The mantis arm blocks the car, I don't know whether to live or die! This is not only the idea of the two kings of the Huns, but also the thoughts of all the Hun cavalry who have already charged. Even the messengers from all nations thought the same thing.
And the Han soldier who didn't know what to think about was faintly glanced in the direction of the Evil King and the King of Hugh Tu, and then stared wide-eyed, staring at the Han banner that began to see faint traces in the wind and sand, as if some emotion swept through his heart, and the smile on his lips seemed to be relieved and a little pity.
The Hun cavalry charged very quickly, from the time they found the target to the time they began to complete the semi-encirclement, and then launched an attack. Twenty or thirty miles away, on the Gobi Plain, it takes less than a quarter of an hour.
Ten thousand horses trampled, like thunder. The Chinese army behind stopped temporarily as Wang Lingqi waved. Tens of thousands of troops were surging like waves, forming a formation here, watching the two 10,000 troops rush in the direction of the Han army camp in front. In everyone's mind, it is enough to slaughter the Han army with 20,000 Hun cavalry!
King Hutu and King Hun and King Ma were surrounded by a dense army of warriors and servants. The terrain here is higher, and you can clearly see all the conditions of the Han army camp hundreds of zhang away. They want to see with their own eyes how the warriors under their command strangled the soldiers of the Han army.
The two Hun captains who led the charge were naturally very excited when they got this task. They are all fierce generals in the army, and now under the personal observation of the two kings and the gaze of tens of thousands of troops, if they can't eliminate the Han army on the opposite side in the fastest time, it will be too incompetent.
Therefore, even if they did not see the trace of the Han army when they were galloping, they did not hesitate at all, and directly ordered the arrows to be released!
The Hun cavalry are all good at shooting, which is a real kung fu practiced on horseback since childhood. After three consecutive volleys of horses and bows, the Han army camp was already covered by a rain of arrows and shot into a jungle of thorns. Whether it is a man or a horse, if you don't have time to run out, I'm afraid there will be no more life within the reach of the rain of arrows.
After shooting three arrows on the horse in the blink of an eye, the Hun cavalry immediately raised their scimitars, and under the light of the sun, the earth was like a mountain of moving knives, and everything that dared to stand in front of them would be split into pieces!
The speed of the grassland war horse was very fast, and in a few breaths, it had already rushed to a place less than a dozen zhang away from the Han army's camp, but it was strange that it had suffered such a serious blow, although the drums in the camp had stopped, but no Han soldiers ran out, let alone the cavalry came out to meet the battle. Did they all shoot inside? It's unlikely!
However, at this time, under the charge of ten thousand horses, even if the captain who took the lead had doubts in his heart, he could not stop. Like a raging wind, the whistling horses and the snow forest of swords poured into the area around the camp.
No matter what the situation was inside, the Hun cavalry had to step through the camp, see people killing, and raze the place to the ground. However, when they immediately dragged their knives and cut down countless tents, they found that this was already an empty camp. I don't see the Han army, all over the banners, and beat the drum with the yellow sheep's hooves, thinking it's just an illusion!
Although the Hun cavalry had realized that something was wrong, they didn't think it was too serious. What's the use of the Han army playing these tricks? How much time can they struggle under the siege of the army!
Therefore, when the main force of the Han cavalry, which had been lying in ambush behind the sand dunes for a long time, suddenly appeared and began to attack them, all the Huns did not think about what kind of heavy blows they were about to suffer......!
