"Where is this?" Xiang Ao looked at the Hun commander who was the guide with great annoyance, and Shen Sheng asked.

"The middle general is an adult, and the villain doesn't know." The commander of the Huns replied a little nervously, his eyes flashing to avoid Xiang Ao.

Xiang Ao squinted and looked at the Hun commander again, and didn't ask any more questions, and ordered someone to take out the map and explore it with Xu Fu. Xiang Ao couldn't determine the location and direction for the time being, so he had to order the team to camp in place and make plans after figuring it out.

"Fujun, this person has different intentions."

"I'm not too worried about the dissent, I am confident that I will be wiped out in all the Huns with my 1,000 Shun as fine horses." Xiang Ao waved his hand and looked at the sky worriedly: "I'm more worried that Jiang Yan's first department will run into more than 2,000 Hun cavalry who escaped. ”

"What the prince said is extremely true, the Hun cavalry was originally good at horse warfare, and it is such a vast place. Husi must be preparing to flee west from the territory of the Han Dynasty when he marched like this, if Jiang Yan really encountered it, such a fierce mourning soldier would be difficult to fight with Jiang Yandu's 1,000 soldiers and horses. ”

"I don't know if Jiao Jing is in Jiang Yan's round." Xiang Ao was extremely worried: "Find out the location as soon as possible tonight, and rush to the rescue tomorrow." ”

The next day, Xiang Ao's team marched at a rapid pace in the direction that he had explored with Xu Fu last night. and arranged for a team of martial arts guards to insert themselves into the side of the Hun commander as a supervisor.

At this time, Jiang Yan had already turned to Jiaojing, and a total of 1,500 troops were ambushing the edge of the Yellow River. Jiang Yan is familiar with so many military books, and he has fought with Xiang Ao and Xianbei in the Yinshan range for several months, and he is also very inexperienced. When he learned that Xiang Ao's main force had beaten the Hun rebels and fled, Jiang Yan already had a plan in mind. The plateau is a lot of desert grassland, not suitable for ambush, Jiang Yan and his group are only 1,500 people, and Jiang Yan did not dare to underestimate the combat power of the Xiongnu Xianbei in the wilderness, so he rushed to the edge of the Yellow River with his troops. Although it is also relatively barren than a section of the river, the difference between the riverbed and the riverbank is very large, which is not conducive to cavalry raids.

After arranging the ambush, Jiang Yan sent scouts hundreds of miles away to inquire about the enemy's situation.

"Shan Yu, can we escape beyond the territory?" The leader of the defected Southern Xiongnu asked Husi worriedly.

"If you can't escape, you have to escape, this time the so-called Han Zhonglang will clearly put me to death, if you encounter it again, you have to fight to the death, otherwise we will cease to exist."

Husi's face was very ugly, he originally wanted to lead most of the Southern Xiongnu tribes to escape, but he never thought that he would be destroyed by Xiang Ao, and even killed them all. Husi hated Xiang Ao even more. Several leaders sighed deeply when they heard this, and at the same time, their eyes were full of determination.

"Newspaper... Alone, less than 20 miles ahead is the Yellow River. ”

"Full speed ahead!" Hus yelled excitedly and ordered. We will soon leave the plateau and cross the Yellow River, and the king will see how the Ruhan dog pursues us. Husi secretly begged in his heart, urging the army to hurry to the Yellow River.

"Captain Yudu, most of the Southern Xiongnu still have fifteen miles to reach the crossing of the Yellow River." The scouts sent by Jiang Yan also discovered the whereabouts of the Xiongnu.

"How many? What is the state of the march? ”

"The Xiongnu don't seem to have coerced too many herdsmen, and the march is extremely fast, and about half a pillar of incense should be felt. The number of people was about two thousand five hundred, and the marching formation was a little confused. ”

"Immediately send the order, and the five hundred people on the river bank who are good at shooting will check the arrows and prepare for an ambush. A thousand cavalry from a hundred zhang away, I personally led the charge. ”

"Yes!" After the herald soldiers left, Jiang Yan immediately dared to go to the ambush site of the cavalry hundreds of zhang away. The place where the cavalry ambushed was close to the ferry, about a hundred feet away from the north of the slope, if you rushed to the ferry from the west, it was extremely difficult to find that there would be ambushes here, and the Xiongnu were in a hurry to escape from Xiang Ao's pursuit, Jiang Yan was confident that he would ambush the Xiongnu rebel deserters who were seriously injured.

Sure enough, after half a pillar of incense, the 2,500 Hun cavalry and hundreds of herdsmen rushed to the Yellow River crossing. Jiang Yan saw from a distance that the leader sent several scouts to the north and south, and ordered hundreds of Huns dressed as herdsmen to cross the river first. In Jiang Yan's opinion, the hundreds of herdsmen arranged by this leader did not seem to be scouts who went to the opposite river bank to explore the way, but more like they were fleeing in a panic.

Jiang Yan secretly said that it was not good, and the hundreds of herdsmen must be extremely important people among the Husi tribe. Originally, the Hun cavalry dismounted and prepared to start a surprise attack across the river, but seeing this situation, Jiang Yan hurriedly ordered a thousand cavalry to jump out from the north of the slope, and with the help of the slope swooping, he waved his army to rush towards the Xiongnu.

"Kill..."

Hus, who was preparing to cross the river, suddenly heard a neat roar from the north, followed by the rumbling sound of horses' hooves on the ground, and Hus's face turned wild. Looking to the north again, about a thousand cavalry rushed in front of him in an instant.

"Erlang, the Han dog wants to kill us all, and I am afraid that we will all die here today. Are you afraid of death? ”

"Fight to the death, fight to the death.." The more than 2,000 soldiers behind Husi were all dead-willed, even crazy. It is better to kill the pursuing Han army desperately, at least to protect the hundreds of tribesmen who have just crossed the river first. will not let several Xiongnu break the inheritance.

"That single is accompanied by you today, and you are fighting to the death." Husi's face frantically pulled out the scimitar at his waist, and swung it towards the sky at the oncoming Jiang Yan's more than 1,000 cavalry and shouted: "Kill!" "Two thousand Hun cavalry rushed out from the south to the north.

"Kill..."The distance of 100 zhang came in an instant, and the sound of shouting killing, horses' hooves, and clanging iron tools at the Yellow River ferry instantly shook the sky. Jiang Yan took the lead, leading dozens of pro-guards with extraordinary force, and forcibly tore the Hun cavalry formation apart, followed by the cavalry behind him. Husi is also like Jiang Yan, taking the lead and passing by Jiang Yan by mistake. It is impossible for the cavalry to rise up in the battle to have a general to say it alone, even if many warriors are good at riding and brave, under such a torrent of steel, it is extraordinary to be able to protect themselves from being injured by random knives.

Jiang Yan consciously felt that he had just rushed to the enemy's army, and there were already many obstacles. In order not to let the momentum of the charge behind him be disintegrated, Jiang Yan led dozens of people to suddenly shift a little to the east, and cut the Hun army formation horizontally. Husi is not a mediocre person, not to mention that this soldier and horse are the Hun cavalry of the wolf of the steppe. Seeing that the leader of the Han army decisively shifted to the east, Hu Si also hurriedly asked the guards around him to wave the formation flag to signal the right-wing border army to rush westward, in an attempt to cut off the rear of Jiang Yan's cavalry.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan, who was too small in number, calmly ordered the flag soldiers to wave the order flag, so that the five hundred soldiers who were ambushed on the bank of the river were thrown at the Xiongnu rear army. The cavalry in ambush was led by Jiao Jing, and when he saw the Xiongnu herdsmen crossing the river, he began to be anxious, and when the charge began, Jiao Jing could not even suppress the anxiety in his heart. At this time, seeing the Lingqi, the anxious Jiao Jing immediately ordered everyone to get on the horse and rush towards the tail of the Hun army formation, and scattered and threw along the road, trying to disrupt the Hun formation. In such a situation, it is useless whether the archery is good or bad, and in this case, it is enough to throw indiscriminately.

"Shameless dog." Husi saw that the tail of the army was bitten by the cavalry in ambush, and the left wing gap that Jiang Yan tore out, even if the right wing cut off Jiang Yan's tail, it was useless, and shouted angrily at Jiang Yan who was leading.

"What do you want to do with those who rebel, today the captain of Pontus will behead you under his horse." Jiang Yan didn't pay much attention to Husi's scolding, and after a little reply, he rushed out of the left flank of the Huns with the cavalry. Jiang Yan, who rushed out, did not stop, did not give the Hun cavalry any respite, and turned to the rear in the left flank of the Hun cavalry along the river, and once again plunged into the left rear of the Hun army formation, and the five hundred elite cavalry led by Jiao Jing chased to the right flank of the Hun cavalry and continued to shoot.

"Sons, even if you die here today, let the Han army see the fierceness of our Huns." Seeing that the army formation had been disrupted by the other party, it was impossible for such a short-handed cavalry to organize a charge again, so he ordered the flag soldiers to send down their own orders and shouted: "Sons, kill..."

After Husi gave the order, the Hun cavalry suddenly scattered like ants, and rushed in all directions. Seeing that it was useless to form a formation and attack, Jiang Yan also ordered the cavalry to pursue in small groups. What Jiang Yan didn't expect was that in such a rout, no one of the Hun cavalry surrendered, and they all fought for their lives. Although the army array charged and killed hundreds of Hun cavalry, the remaining Huns still outnumbered Jiang Yan's cavalry by a lot. Coupled with the life-threatening struggle of the Hun cavalry, Jiang Yan secretly exclaimed badly.

Such as the foreign tribe, indeed fierce, originally the cavalry and the cavalry of the horse clash, after Husi ordered, most of the Huns gave up their weapons, and when they staggered with the Han army, they threw themselves on the horses and threw themselves up, and the Han army fell to the ground and killed each other. However, the soldiers recruited by the state are not good, and they are also extremely ruthless.

As a result, there are only a few people on the battlefield who can still attack and kill on horses. Most of the cavalry, whether Han or Xiongnu, fought hand-to-hand on the ground, and the battlefield stretched for miles. The hand-to-hand combat seen by such a race is tragic, and several people can be seen killing in a row everywhere. A Han army just chopped off the head of the Hun cavalry with a knife, and before they could react, the Huns suddenly burst out and bit the throat of the Han army, and the blood of the Han army gushed out from the throat, and after struggling several times to no avail, they broke off their breath. The Hun cavalry's face was covered with blood, and their expressions were cruel biting the minced flesh bitten from the roar of the Han army, and before they could spit it out, the spear came out from behind the Huns.

Under such circumstances, there are almost no more people in the battlefield who are unconscious, and even Husi is so bloodshot that his eyes are bloodshot, and he looks at people when he sees them, and he doesn't even distinguish between friend and foe. Only Jiang Yan remained a little sober, riding a horse and looking at such a battlefield, Jiang Yan didn't know where to start, how to annihilate the Huns, and how to save the soldiers under his command.

Just when Jiang Yan was at a loss, most of the cavalry led by Xiang Ao finally arrived. Seeing such a situation on the battlefield, Xiang Ao didn't say much, and hurriedly ordered the cavalry he led to step forward to support.

"Ah Yan, Ah Jing are good?" Xiang Ao rushed to Jiang Yan and Jiao Jing and asked worriedly.

"The lower officials are fine, but there are hundreds of accompanying herdsmen crossing the river, and if they can stop it in the future, please punish the government." Jiang Yan supported his very tired body and replied to Xiang Ao with a fist in shame.

"It is a great achievement for you and the two of you to be able to stop this group of Huns, so why do you sin it."

"What the prince said is very true, Jiang Duwei and Jiao Bing Cao are a great achievement." Xu Fu also comforted beside him. The faces of the two improved slightly.

"As for the hundreds of people who have escaped, I think they will flee far away from the Western Regions, and there is not much threat to my Han, so there is no need to worry." Xiang Ao looked at the battlefield around him, and his heart was full of solemnity: "Let's clean up the moment first." ”

The three of them didn't say much, they all should be.
