(35) Unexpected encounters

Speaking of Bai Qi's luck, it is because although the Xiongnu tribe in front of it appeared intentionally, the scale was not large. There were only 1,500 combat troops, and the rest were women, the elderly, and children.

The leader of this tribe is the authentic Xiongnu royal family, Duanmuye, the cousin of the current Khan. Duanmuye's tribe happened to be in the area of Dingbian City, after getting the Khan's notice to let him be more careful, Duanmuye didn't pay much attention to it, in his opinion, the Daqi cavalry who came to sneak attack was no more than a thousand people, and there were 1,500 warriors under his command, which could completely cope with it.

At the same time that Bai Qi was nervously preparing, Duanmuye also received a report from his subordinates in his felt bag, and the cavalry of Daqi was found nearby, judging from the distance, it should not have come out of Dingbian City. Duanmuye felt that his luck was too good, and a large group of Hun cavalry was looking for this unit all over the grassland, and they actually crashed into his own door.

When Duanmuye was thinking about how to destroy this Great Qi army beautifully with only his own strength, there were soldiers outside the door to hug him: "Lord, the convoy of the seventeenth princess of the Khan is comingDuanmuye heard the news, and the brows on his head furrowed again. The reason why the seventeenth princess of the Khan came to him was because she was going to Zhang Chu and Qin. In Duanmuye's opinion, I don't know what the Khan thinks, but he would even think of marrying Zhang Chu and marrying the most beautiful seventeenth princess to Zhang Chu's useless king, which was the in-law set when Zhang Chu supported the Xiongnu with a large amount of grain. Duanmuye always thought that marrying the princess to King Zhang Chu was actually a very faceless thing. The Han people in the Central Plains are all slaves.

Duanmuye didn't have the heart to deal with this matter now, and told the people below to settle the seventeenth princess, and he was busy killing the Daqi troops sent to the door.

Duanmuye's first instinct was also to send scouts to search around to find the exact location of the Great Qi army, and at the same time to have all the warriors ready to attack at any time.

Bai Qi finally waited for accurate information, what appeared in front of him was not a powerful army, but a tribe of about 5,000 people, there were not many combatants, and the opponent didn't seem to know the situation of his troops, and he kept sending scouts to find the location of his troops, what did the opponent want to do? From the perspective of the situation, it should be that you want to fight with yourself, but what if this is just an illusion deliberately made by the opponent to expose your position? Bai Qi hesitated a little.

After thinking about it, Bai Qi decided to fight, and now Bai Qi's only worry is Baiyun Mountain and Ye Tingyu on the left and right, if they give themselves a ruthless blow, run away with the troops, and the little belongings they have worked hard to manage, it is estimated that they will be finished. Based on the information sent from all sides, Bai Qi felt that this battle was still very certain, and now it was up to him how he commanded, how should he fight?

Bai Qi has never been sure whether the opponent fully understands his details, judging from the signs, the opponent does not know that he has 5,000 men under his command, if it is really as he expected, then everything will be easy. Bai Qi still decided to take a gamble, and immediately called Lei Storm and Dong Qiu, and asked them to take their headquarters and rush to Baiyun Mountain and Ye Tingyu respectively, so that they would not be afraid of making trouble.

In the end, Bai Qi didn't forget to explain, and asked a few generals to tell the soldiers that this battle was related to whether everyone could go home safely, and if it failed, everyone would be finished.

After Bai Qi made proper arrangements, he took the remaining 1,000 men and horses and marched south, and took the initiative to expose himself to the eyes of the Huns. Of course, Bai Qi was not simply exposed, but played a little trick.

A small group of Hun scouts were searching around the grassland, and suddenly found that a large group of Daqi cavalry appeared on both sides, which had the intention of annihilating the entire team in one fell swoop. After a "bitter battle", all the Xiongnu Tanma were wiped out, but they also successfully sent a signal to Duanmuye before they died, and led the Great Qi army to run several miles in the direction where Duanmuye's main force was.

The warriors exchanged their lives for the information, of course Duanmuye did not doubt it, there were more than 1,000 Daqi cavalry in front, and they were planning to flee back to Daqi from their defensive grounds, but unfortunately they were discovered by the heroic Hun warriors, Duanmuye thought so.

Duanmu Ye personally led the main force of 1,500 cavalry and quickly rushed towards the location of Bai Qi's troops. Soon Duanmuye could see the cavalry of Daqi from a distance, and when Duanmuye found the Daqi army, the Daqi army seemed to have also discovered Duanmuye's main force, and it seemed that the other party's main general was also a powerful character, and when Duanmuye's main force was found from afar, he immediately led the troops to start retreating.

Duanmuno was willing to let go of his opponent and immediately ordered a pursuit. The horses of the Daqi people obviously looked a little tired, and this lone army harassed the Xiongnu territory for many days, and the troops were definitely tired. Duanmuno could clearly feel that although the speed of the opponent's escape was fast, it was constantly slowing down, and the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and Duanmuno could clearly see that the opponent was behind a few skirmishers who were desperately urging their mounts.

The Great Qi army fled for a while, perhaps because they felt that they couldn't escape, so they began to stop retreating, and chose a higher place to set up a battle formation, which seemed to be desperate. Duanmuye felt that his pursuit for a long time was finally not in vain, and the opponent finally gave up fleeing and turned back to fight with him.

In the decisive battle in this place, Bai Qi spent a lot of thought, the terrain in this area is higher on three sides, and lower in the middle, once the Hun cavalry enters this area, its vision will be affected, and it is difficult to find the movement of his troops left and right.

Although Duanmuye also found that the terrain here was not very favorable to him, he was still very confident, and with the courage and skill of the Hun warriors, he was completely sure to destroy the opponent with more and less.

Commanding the troops to stop the high-speed pursuit, they stopped from a distance, and calmly arranged the formation, Duanmuno was confident that he would be able to cross the enemy on the opposite side after a single charge.

Duanmuye's main force completely entered the ambush circle set by Bai Qi, and Bai Qi also waited for the opportunity to destroy the opponent.

"Smoke!" Bai Qiyi gave an order, and the soldiers who had been prepared for a long time lit a fire, threw the dried cow dung on it, and when the fire came up, he poured some water on it, and a huge smoke rose, which could be seen within a radius of fifty miles.

Setting up the attack formation, Duankino, who was about to attack, found that the opponent suddenly released wolf smoke, and a bad feeling welled up in his heart. Duanmuye immediately made a decision, and immediately ordered: "There is an ambush, and the whole army is on alert."

It's a pity that Duanmuye's order is still late, and a large number of Daqi cavalry appeared on the high ground on the left and right sides, and a simple look can be found that the opponent in front of him is not a thousand, but not less than three thousand.

"Kill!" Bai Qi roared, and the three men and horses slaughtered Duanmuye's troops like a swift wind.

It should be said that Duanmuye is still wise, he did not immediately order the troops to retreat, so that the formation of the troops will not disperse, although the number is not superior, but with Bai Qi's strength, it is really a very difficult thing to eliminate this thousand five hundred warriors who live on the grassland all year round.

The Hun cavalry was really skillful in the bow and horse on horseback, arranged the formation, and greeted with bows and arrows first, and before the Huns were killed, Bai Qi's troops fell hundreds of people. It's a pity that the distance between the two sides is too close, and Bai Qi's troops are condescending charges, only paying minor casualties, and the two sides are fighting together.

The sound of sabers hitting each other, shouting and killing mixed together, the Hun cavalry was also fierce, under the fierce impact of the Daqi army, the formation was still not chaotic, with superb horsemanship, these Hun soldiers could still have the upper hand in some parts.

Bai Qi ambushed the opponent with 4,000 cavalry 1,500 people, and the scene between the two sides was in a state of stalemate, Bai Qi couldn't help but feel that the Hun cavalry was so strong in combat effectiveness, no wonder they could crisscross the grassland, and only 500,000 horses dared to kill into the hinterland of the Central Plains.

The progress of the battle situation is difficult, the tenacity of the Hun soldiers' resistance is beyond Bai Qi's expectations, and the quality and combat effectiveness of the soldiers on both sides are also reflected in this field battle, often two or three Daqi soldiers can clean up a Hun cavalry, and these Hun soldiers are fighting on their own soil, and their will to fight is much more tenacious than Bai Qi's troops.

Bai Qi with a thousand men and horses has not moved, and Bai Qi has been waiting, waiting for an opportunity to defeat the opponent in one fell swoop. The fierce battle between the two sides has been close to an hour, the Hun cavalry is becoming more and more courageous, on the other hand, the Daqi army, the position has been loosened, fortunately, there is no mobile force in Duanmuye's hands, otherwise there is a counterattack at this time, and I don't know whose side the victory is. Through this battle, Bai Qi once again realized the gap in the strength of the soldiers on both sides, and strengthened Bai Qi's belief in training a strong army.

The opportunity that Bai Qi was waiting for finally appeared, and a huge smoke rose from the sky in the distance, and from the direction, it was where Duanmuye's lair was.

The old nest was ended, Duanmuye can be said to be in a state of confusion, if there are only some ordinary people, even if there are their wives and children there, it is not enough to shake Duanmuye's will to fight, the key is that there is also a seventeen princess there, this is the most fatal thing.

Duanmuye, who had been insisting on fighting, finally wavered, and was determined to lead the team to fight back and rescue the princess. His wife and children are a trivial matter, but the princess fell into the hands of the ** team, and the joke became big. Duanmuye had just ordered a retreat, and the soldiers who had seen the fire in the backyard had lost half of their fighting spirit, and they were desperate here, but the life and death of their wives and children were unknown, and no one could fight this battle.

Duanmuno misjudged, he thought that the battle between the two sides could maintain a stalemate situation, and he should be able to retreat while retreating, but he didn't expect the order to retreat, although the troops could still maintain the formation without chaos, but the fighting spirit was gone.

Want to run? It's not that easy. Bai Qi was waiting for this opportunity, taking advantage of the moment when the Huns retreated, the formation had just been a little loose, Bai Qi had already pulled out his "sorrow", and yelled: "Kill!" Bai Qiyi took the lead and entered the camp of the Huns, which was originally a balanced situation, but Bai Qi rushed with a thousand fresh troops, and the formation of the Huns was completely chaotic.

The battlefield suddenly showed a one-sided situation, Duanmuye's plan to fight and retreat, but now it has become a fatal mistake, Bai Qi commanded the troops to disrupt Duanmuye's formation, and the Hun soldiers were completely caught in the melee of the Daqi army, and the Hun soldiers have been divided into countless small pieces, and they are stubbornly making the final resistance with their personal will to fight. Now let alone to help the lair, even Duanmuye himself was surrounded by groups, and there were only about a hundred personal soldiers left around him to protect him and kill him.

Bai Qi didn't want to be too entangled with this Hun army, now Bai Qi knew, I don't know where, a large number of Hun cavalry are looking for their own troops, in case they are found by which Hun army with shit luck, they are really cornered, Bai Qi wants to fight quickly.

Capture the thief and capture the king first! Bai Qi has been observing this Xiongnu army, and has long found that Duanmuye has been under the protection of many pro-soldiers, plus Duanmuye has a yellow tiger skin coat, no need to ask Bai Qi to know, this is the leader of the Huns.

Wielding "Chopping Sorrow", Bai Qi led his headquarters to plunge into the depths of the battlefield like a sharp awl, and wherever he went, anyone who dared to step forward to meet the battle was cut off by Bai Qi's move. Bai Qi's goal is obvious, that is, to take down Duanmuno and speed up the end of this battle.

Although Duanmuye also wants to control his own troops, but now there is no way to control it, although Duanmuye has let his subordinates keep holding high the battle flag, hoping that his subordinates can try their best to kill their side, but all this seems to be in vain, Duanmuye only sees that there are constantly Hun soldiers killed in the impact of the Great Qi army, and defeat has become an irreparable fact, and now Duanmuye's only hope is that there can be a man from other tribes chasing Bai Qi He can rush to the battlefield.

Duanmuye can only take his own soldiers and fight to kill outside, as for his wife and children, the seventeenth princess, he really can't think about it, he will save his life first. The grassland is very large, and he can gallop at will on weekdays, but now Duanmuye finds that every step forward is difficult, and the soldiers of Daqi are not fools, such a big guy's head can be exchanged for at least three hundred taels of silver when he gets it to Bai Qi.

Duanmuye struggled to cut down another Daqi soldier who was blocking the way, and at this time, there were only about fifty people left around him, and he was about to break out of the encirclement, Duanmuye seemed to see the hope of life.

With a whoosh, a strong wind came towards Duanmuye's back, Duanmuye listened to the sound of the family, and hurriedly lowered his head to turn his horse to dodge, but he heard a personal soldier next to him screaming and planting his horse, and when he looked back, dozens of steps away, a young Daqi general was wielding a sword to kill himself.
