345. Confrontation

Montan pounced for the first time. However, he was not discouraged, and immediately sent a large number of rangers to look for the traces of the Han army, and at the same time urgently contacted the nearby tribes and mobilized all the people to find the whereabouts of Zhao Yun and others.

Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao did not go far after fleeing with their troops, and they did not know the direction at night, so they simply rested for one night. The next morning, preparations were made to continue the evacuation. As a result, they discovered that a small tribe was nearby, so Zhao Yun decisively ordered the whole army to attack and destroy this tribe.

If you don't destroy it, you can't do it, even if the army passes by, they will be discovered by them, and their whereabouts will definitely be exposed at that time. It is said that after Zhao Yun gave the order, the army went straight to this tribe to kill, but coincidentally, the rangers sent by Meng Dan also arrived in this tribe.

At this time, he met Zhao Yun's brigade. The ranger turned around and ran without saying a word, and Zhao Yun saw two horses running into the distance. I secretly said in my heart: "It's not good! So he hurriedly chased after him. Zhang Liao saw that the command of the brigade continued to run towards that tribe.

Not to mention Zhang Liao, just say that Zhao Yun chased after him with a few personal guards. Seeing that he was about to chase an arrow, Zhao Yun suddenly straightened up on the horse, and then drew his bow and shot out with an arrow.

Seeing that one of the two horsemen in front of him was a knight, he fell off his horse with an arrow. The other was frightened, and regardless of the life or death of his companions, he frantically beat his horse, and the war horse once again sped up and galloped wildly.

Zhao Yun was about to shoot another arrow when he succeeded in an arrow, when he found that the horse had already run out of the range of the bow and arrow. So he went after him. But after chasing him out for ten miles, the knight always maintained a high speed, so that Zhao Yun was never able to catch up with him.

At this moment, there were faint people and horses in the distance, Zhao Yun suddenly gave up the pursuit, reined in the war horse, and then led the people back to the tribe just now. By the time he returned, the battle was almost over. This time, Zhang Liao ordered all the men, women, and children in the tribe to be killed, so as not to reveal the location of his army. But Zhao Yun only killed one person, making everything he did useless.

Zhao Yun felt that after this side joined the brigade, he couldn't take a break and hurriedly ordered the army to evacuate to the north. Although they walked quickly, their whereabouts were leaked. The Hun ranger who had run away reported Zhao Yun's location to Meng Dan, who immediately led the army to chase after him.

After a day of chasing, Zhao Yun and the others were finally caught up by Meng Dan's horses. Zhao Yun saw that he couldn't run away, so he simply stopped his formation and prepared to fight Meng Dan to the death.

Meng Dan saw Zhao Yun lined up in front, a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth, he didn't order to slow down at all, the army continued to move forward, and rushed straight towards Zhao Yun's men and horses.

Zhao Yun saw the Huns rushing towards him and immediately ordered the arrows to be released, and suddenly the bows and arrows rained down on Mengdan's army. Meng Dan was determined to take down Zhao Yun's entire army in one fell swoop. Therefore, he didn't care about the flying arrows at all, and still the itinerary would not change, and he rushed straight towards Zhao Yun's formation. From the discovery of them to Meng Dan's leading people to rush to the front of the formation, Zhao Yun led people to shoot a total of two rounds.

After two rounds, Zhao Yun's men and horses immediately abandoned their bows and replaced them with their own weapons. It was then that the Huns arrived. It was like a huge wave crashing on the shore, and suddenly rushed into the military formation here. Meng Dan even waved the big gun in his hand and stabbed straight at Zhao Yun. When Zhao Yun saw the gun coming, he shook the bright silver gun in his hand, and fired back at Chaofeng with a move.

Meng Dan saw that Zhao Yun did not take his gun, but instead rushed to kill him with one move. Meng Dan immediately put away his gun to resist, only to see him turn the withdrawn big gun like a wheel, and then a jingling sound sounded, and he actually blocked Zhao Yun's hundred birds and chaofeng. Zhao Yun saw that his move was being instantaneous, so he shot out again and stabbed Meng Dan in the throat with the gun in his hand.

Zhang Liao also led the army to fight with the Huns at this time, only to see his big sword flying, and there was no general under the knife. Zhang Liao's heroic performance greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers behind him, and although there were few people, he was stunned to kill the Huns and retreated.

At this time, the two commanders came out of the crowd and went straight to Zhang Liao to kill, Zhang Liao did not refuse to slash left and right with a big knife, and did not fall behind with one enemy and two enemies. After three or five faces, he suddenly forced one of them back back with a knife to the left, and then the big knife quickly slashed horizontally, and the other person couldn't dodge and was directly cut into two pieces by this knife.

Seeing that his companion had been killed, the other man was immediately frightened. Before he could escape, Zhang Liao swung his knife and rushed over again. The commander had no choice but to step forward to parry. Three more rounds. Zhang Liao suddenly stood up with his knife, and slashed Huashan with a single move and slashed at the top of the man's head. The commander hurriedly raised his weapon to parry, Zhang Liao suddenly strengthened, and this knife only cut off the man's big gun, and split the person in half with a knife. The blood on this person's body splashed out and poured on Zhang Liao's body, and from a distance, it looked like a Shura from underground.

After killing two people in a row, the Huns did not dare to come to Zhang Liao again. Zhang Liao won a fierce victory, and at this moment he was like a tiger into a wolf pack, leading his men and horses to rampage through the Hun army, and no one could stop him.

Meng Dan was trying his best to resist Zhao Yun's bright silver spear at the moment, and he couldn't think of managing his army at all. Therefore, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Zhang Liao leading people to slaughter his army, but there was nothing he could do. The battle had reached this point, and Meng Dan knew that it was over, and seeing that his men had no fighting spirit at all, he didn't dare to stay here. Swing a shot and go. Zhao Yun saw his thoughts, and the big gun turned sharply and struck at his left arm, opening a hole more than three inches long in his left arm.

Montan ignored his wounds and fled with his horse in a desperate manner. Zhao Yun wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Meng Dan's personal guards, and when he killed these personal guards, Meng Dan had already fled into the chaos and disappeared.

Zhao Yun was angry, and the big gun in his hand shook and killed the remaining Huns. After Meng Dan fled, the Xiongnu iron cavalry no longer had the fighting spirit, and was defeated by Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao, and 20,000 horses were killed and wounded. In the end, less than 3,000 escaped. And this battle directly reduced the number of Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao's team sharply, and the team that originally had more than 8,000 people was now left with about 5,000 people.

And at least half of the 5,000 people had their colors on them. Thankfully, they were fewer in number, but they captured a lot more horses. After the war, the statistics turned out to be outrageous for one man and four horsemen.

After the battle, the unwounded soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield and making up for the Huns who were not dead. And the bodies of their own people were pulled out and ready to be cremated in a while.

Zhao Yun frowned and asked Zhang Liaodao: "Wenyuan, now that the number of our army has decreased sharply, is there any way you can supplement it if you have lived at the border for a long time?" ”

Zhang Liao also had a headache, he thought for a while and said: "It's not completely impossible, I know that there are a large number of military slaves in the Xiongnu royal city, all of which are composed of soldiers of various ethnic groups robbed by the Huns, including a large number of sons and daughters of the state." If we can get them free, we can replenish at least 20,000 horses in an instant. ”
