Text Chapter 534 Killing on all sides blows the horn
The Xiongnu Shan Yu Yi Zhixi, a generation of heroes, was not waiting for his cavalry warriors in the end.
Some people can only say that they were born at the wrong time. Although this king of the steppe obtained the throne by brutal means, he is actually very suitable to be the overlord of the steppe. Fierce, ruthless, vicious, and decisive...... All of this should have helped him realize his infinite ambitions, and he commanded the Huns' horseshoes to trove in all directions.
Ten years ago, when he killed his father with the iron arrow in his hand, he thought that this world would be his from now on. Whether it is the Donghu people, the Western Regions people or the Han people, sooner or later they will surrender to his scimitar. The territory of the Xiongnu Empire will be expanded like never before in its own hands.
In fact, no matter what dynasty the emperor is, many ambitious guys will probably have such thoughts. It's just that whether it can be achieved or not depends on half of it depends on strength, and half of it depends on luck.
When Da Shan Yu Yi Zhiyi ruthlessly killed dissidents with iron and blood to consolidate his position, he probably didn't expect that his ten years of hard work would be nothing more than a hard work in vain in the end!
He shouldn't have failed so easily. The tremendous strength and luck accumulated since the beginning of Mao Dunshan Yu have protected this grassland and desert for a hundred years, and the momentum is so magnificent that the surrounding countries dare not look up.
The kings and generals who could conquer and fight in the court of the Xiongnu were endless, and hundreds of thousands of cavalry warriors bowed down to their orders. With such power in your hands, it can be said that the world is so big that you can see it! The ambition to surpass the exploits of the Khan has never been severed in his heart.
It's just a pity that because of the appearance of one person, the further expansion of the Xiongnu Empire was blocked in advance, and the ambition and arrogance of Shan Yuyi were also shattered. This is probably his greatest sorrow.
In fact, if he could have lived a little longer and saw more things happen later, then maybe he would have thought a little differently. Because in the following years, even the king of the West, who was more powerful than him, could not avoid the fate of being captured in the competition with the Han Dynasty army!
Of course, no one knows their fate until the final moment comes. Even if you perceive that something is wrong, you will never willingly accept failure.
The Black Eagle Army and the Hun Cavalry, the two powerful armies in the world, have gone through several hours of desperate fighting and will contest for several hours in a row, and tens of thousands of soldiers have been killed or wounded on both sides. On the hundred-mile grassland with Dragon City as the center, shouting and killing the sky, the smoke and dust raised by the war horses covered the sky and the sun.
The trapped beasts of the Huns were still fighting, and they were so strong that they were somewhat unexpected. But no matter what the price is, the Black Hawks will never give up if they do not hold out to the final victory today. Such a determination, without the general Wei Qing personally issuing military orders to supervise, only those battalion generals who led their subordinates to attack desperately, is enough to cheer up the whole army, and vow not to give up if the strong enemy is not broken!
When it comes to the top ten captains of the Black Eagle Army in the earliest days, their current identities are already different. Not to mention that Cao Xiang, Su Jian, and Gongsun Rongnu, who were the first to be crowned marquis, are Zhou Ba, Guan Xi and others, who were later appointed as cavalry generals in the army, and they can already be called famous generals in the army.
Their feats and honors were all earned by virtue of their bows and knives. Dispatch troops to the enemy, never flinch, and every time there is a big battle, it is even braver.
In today's battle of Dragon City, these generals are all in the forefront of the battle. Among them, the bravest is the "Gongsun Shuangxiong", although the blood-stained robe was wounded in several places, he still shouted a fierce battle, causing great casualties to the Hun array.
Listening to the bitter persuasion of the kings and nobles under his command, the anger in the heart of Shan Yuyi, who had to retreat into Dragon City for safety, has never been so strong as it is now. He really wanted to pull out the treasure sword, personally put it on the battlefield, and lead all the warriors under his command with the majesty of the king of the grassland to destroy all the Han troops in front of him!
However, this is just a matter of thinking. Surrounded by loyal followers, he stood on the dilapidated walls of Dragon City and looked into the distance, and he was both surprised and disappointed by the battlefield situation that greeted him.
Although in some places the fighting between the two armies is still in a stalemate, the overall situation is already very bad. After all, the Hun cavalry array was gradually retreating, and the Han army, which was significantly smaller than them, was gradually shrinking the encirclement. Their intention was obvious, that is, to surround these 50,000 Huns with their single group, around this dragon city, and then gradually strangle.
It is more difficult to besiege and kill nearly half of their troops with fewer troops. Especially when the combat effectiveness is about the same, it is even more difficult to win with this style of play.
However, today, the 30,000 Black Eagle Army launched an endless charge against the 50,000 Hun cavalry without hesitation. Their bravery, or madness, made the Hun cavalry who fought against them fearful.
However, there is a reason why Yu Yi Zhixiao and his followers did not choose to retreat north in a hurry at the first stage when they found out that something was wrong.
Cavalry combat, in the case of two armies already fighting, if you choose to escape or retreat, it is self-defeating. Agile and good at capturing fighters, they are often able to deliver a fatal blow to the opponent in a lightning strike. This is the essential difference between cavalry and foot soldiers.
If you retreat at this time, you will be killing yourself!
In the hearts of many people, they actually regret very much that they did not make a decision earlier, at least after discovering the combat intentions of the Black Hawk Army. If we had withdrawn north to preserve our strength at that time, would the situation have been very different?
However, there are no ifs. The fact in front of us is that the Hun cavalry is retreating one after another. If it weren't for the fact that this most powerful cavalry is still struggling to support it now, then I am afraid that it would have been impossible to stop the war horse from the Han family from stepping into Dragon City.
Even so, the situation is beginning to become critical. In the face of the fierce offensive of the Black Eagle Army, after a comprehensive contraction, the fear of war and the atrophy in the hearts of the Huns became more and more serious. If the 50,000 Hun cavalry did not rush back to help, I am afraid that it was only a matter of time before a complete rout was reached.
Once upon a time, the heroic and warlike Hun cavalry actually fell to the current point? was pressed and beaten by others and did not dare to take the initiative to attack. Shan Yu Yi and the Xiongnu nobles glanced at each other, and they both saw a deep sadness on each other's faces.
Just when their hearts were restless, finally, the sound of thousands of galloping horses began to be heard in the distance. Everyone who was watching above Dragon City heard it clearly, and their hearts were shocked, and some were even overjoyed. Although it was still impossible to see the direction from which the army was coming from, there were already many people dancing to the top, and they wanted to see the arrival of reinforcements at the first time.
Naturally, there were also 10,000 enemies in the Hun cavalry. For example, this cavalry commander who sacrificed his life to escape from the Red Fire Army. He rushed back to deliver the message before the formidable Han cavalry.
When this Xiongnu brave general, who was wounded all over his life, threw himself off his horse and reported to Da Dan Yu with difficulty the news that the Han Red Fire Army had been killed, there was a moment of stagnation in the wind of Dragon City.
“…… What did you say? What happened to the 50,000 cavalry warriors......! Say it again to me! ”
Shan Yu Yizhi viciously dragged him up from the ground, and he didn't care about this person's life or death, he just shook him desperately, hoping that he had heard it wrong just now.
"Big order in ...... The soldiers and horses sent out are no longer there! Except for a very small number who fled back to Mobei, the rest were either taken prisoner or killed by the Han army and those hateful Western Regions coalition forces......! ”
Before he finished speaking, a knife flash flashed with a "click", and a head was cut off to the ground. Shan Yu Yi's face turned blue, and he shook the blood beads on the treasure knife with his hand, and pointed at the unlucky ghost and said angrily.
"Nonsense! If you disturb the morale of the army, you should be punished for the crime. Someone, order the three armies to gather immediately, the target, the north of Dragon City! Breakthrough......! ”
glanced at the dead Hun general on the ground, and everyone's faces were like ashes. They finally understood that the galloping horses that were getting closer and closer to the heavens and the earth were not here to rescue them, but to send them to hell.
Now, what's the use of Da Danyu using such means to cover up people's eyes and ears and deceive others? I only think about breaking through now...... What did you do earlier! It's just that the Black Hawks are already so difficult to deal with, they are already ready, and they will pounce at any time. And now here comes the Red Fire Army...... How can this be fought? How do you escape?
"Big order! It is absolutely impossible to order the entire army to flee north at this time...... Otherwise, the big thing will go! ”
Zhang Zhongxing, the national teacher, hurriedly walked over and shouted to stop. At this point, I can't care about the face of the Khan. It's a matter of life and death, and that's no joke.
In the distance, the golden drums and horns of the Han army and bursts of cheers were heard. The two armies with the same root and origin have finally met on the outskirts of Dragon City!
The Red Fire Army is still red, the Black Eagle Army is still black, this black and red color is gathered together, under the blue sky, the green grass spreads all over the land and stretches endlessly into the distance, this scene actually seems extremely majestic and solemn. All the soldiers have distinct armor, battle flags hunting, people are like tigers, horses are like dragons, and in the sound of painting horns, in less than half an hour, they surrounded all the surrounding areas of Dragon City within a hundred miles.
"This scene...... Ha ha! It's kind of ridiculous. Do you still remember the exploits of the ancestors sung on the grassland, seventy or eighty years ago, the emperor of the Han Dynasty was besieged by our Hun warriors in Baishan Mountain, in order to survive, the dignified founding emperor of the Han Dynasty humbly bowed his head and was willing to submit...... So far, it's only been two or three generations. But now, the old thing is repeating itself, but it is reversed...... National teacher, what else do you have to do? ”
Shan Yu Khan, who had the posture of a hero, had a faint sadness in his tone, looking at those mighty and majestic Han warriors, and his eyes were infinitely lonely. Zhang Zhongxing sighed slightly, and said in a heavy tone.
"Let's make peace...... No matter what humiliating conditions are promised, as long as Da Dan Yu Khan can return to Mobei safely, everything can be started again! ”
