Chapter 1256: The Central Plains people didn't dare to come out
Cao Shuo's army did not deploy along the riverbank, and only a few cavalrymen on the bank watched the Huns on the opposite side.
He rode a tall horse and looked across the riverbank.
He asked a Hun beside him, "King Aries, what did you say the Central Plains people on the other side were calling just now?" Shouting so loudly, you can only see a few cavalry. ”
"The people of the Central Plains are nothing more than emboldening." The Aries King pouted contemptuously and said, "I guess they don't know where to run for a long time." ”
Glancing at the Aries King, he said: "Yesterday, Guo Yuan mentioned to me that Emperor Wu and Emperor Ming of the Central Plains had made our Huns suffer a big loss. ”
"How many years ago was that?" The Aries King said: "The people of the Central Plains just like to take out the things of their ancestors to show off, they just want to use Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty to strengthen their courage. Now our Great Huns are no longer what they were at that time, but their Central Plains have been in war for many years, and they have been weakened to the extreme. ”
"The Central Plains has a lot of people and is a big country." Qubei said: "But they are not angry, and they always like to fight with their own family members." The Seven Heroes of the Warring States back then, if they hadn't beaten the national strength weakly, how could there be a big war between Meng Tian and our Huns? There are also Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, who have also fought for many years, and in the end, Liu Bang was almost destroyed by our Great Huns! Even the Empress Lu of Liu Bang's family, our Hun Da Dan Yu is also a letter teasing. ”
The corners of his mouth hooked up a strange smile, and Qubei suddenly asked the Aries King, "Do you want to taste the concubine of the Han Emperor?" ”
"I heard that the concubines around the emperor are all beautiful." The Aries King swallowed his saliva and said to Qubei: "If you can enter Xudu, King Zuo Xian will come first, and I will follow behind to try it." ”
"Enter Xudu, I'll give you one of the emperor's concubines!" Qubei said very generously.
The Aries King hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Thank you King Zuo Xian for the reward." ”
The etiquette of the Huns was different from that of the Central Plains.
They bent their arms up and put them on their chests, unlike the Han people, so it was much more convenient to bow on horseback than the Central Plains people.
"Pass the order!" Go to the side and shout: "The army crosses the river!" ”
With the order of Qubei, countless large ships carrying the Huns headed for the opposite shore.
The river was not very wide, and the big ships were moving, and it didn't take long for the front ships to reach the shore.
Before the warship landed, the Huns led their horses and jumped down.
The Huns at the front had only landed on their feet, and some of the Cao troops who were in ambush on the shore suddenly got up and shot a puff of arrows at them.
Out of arrogance, the Huns did not take Cao Shuo and his soldiers in their eyes at all.
Arrows flew, and immediately a group of Huns fell.
However, the Huns grew up on horseback, and they have not experienced wars for so many years.
Soon they stabilized the chaotic position, and one by one they held shields to block the arrows fired by Cao Jun.
Some Huns even took their bows and arrows under the cover of their companions' shields and launched a counterattack against Cao's army.
Since there were not many Huns crossing the river, and there were not many people in the ambush set up by the Cao army on the bank, the casualties of the two sides firing each other with bows and arrows were not very large.
It's just that the Huns, who had just landed, suffered a slight loss in the exchange of fires.
More and more Huns landed on the shore, and more and more Huns fired arrows at Cao's army.
The Cao army that ambushed them retreated one after another, and soon disappeared from the view of the Huns.
Cao's army suddenly disappeared, and the Huns were not busy chasing after them.
Those who went ashore first helped those who came ashore later to settle down, and there were more and more Huns gathered on the shore.
Most of the 20,000 Hun soldiers crossed the river and went to Beicai to land with the kings of various tribes.
On the river bank, he glanced at the more than ten Hun soldiers who were shot by Cao Jun, and asked, "How many enemy soldiers have died?" ”
"Back to King Zuoxian, it seems that a dead Central Plains person has not seen it." One of the Huns said: "When we just landed on the shore, they attacked, and when we counterattacked, they ran away!" ”
He pouted contemptuously: "The people of the Central Plains have always been like this, they are good at sneaking attacks from behind, and when we want to fight them, they all run away." ”
"King Zuoxian." A leader of the Xiongnu tribe who accompanied him to Beideng reminded: "We were shot dead by more than a dozen people from the Central Plains, but we didn't even see what kind of armor they were wearing. ”
Qubei didn't say anything, and he also felt that this Central Plains army was not easy to deal with.
But the Aries King, who was following him, said to the tribal leader: "I haven't seen the Central Plains people who are difficult to deal with, but you called them out to fight us?" With their nature of hiding and hiding, they are also worthy of being our enemies? ”
The statement of the Aries King just confirms the arrogance of most Huns.
Some of the Huns even shouted after him.
The Huns on the shore shouted that the Central Plains people were as timid as rats, and in their mouths, the Central Plains soldiers were simply worthless, as if as long as they blew their breath, the Central Plains army would retreat on all fronts.
Although he also despises the people of the Central Plains, he is the king of Zuo Xian after all.
He shouted, "All right, be quiet!" ”
The shouting Huns shut up one after another, and their eyes looked at Qubei.
"We don't know where the Central Plains people are hiding." Qubei said: "Those who go ashore will set up the array first, leave some people to guard the big boat, and the others will follow me!" ”
The Huns who climbed the river bank mounted their horses one after another, and followed behind Qubei to form their quadrangular array.
The Huns' array did not change much, but their large array was very practical.
Once the battle begins, all the cavalry will attack on all fronts, and the momentum is extremely magnificent, and the impact on the enemy army is not something that ordinary infantry can withstand.
The Huns formed a large array, and the bears and crossbows who landed behind were merged into the formation.
Lead the Hun warriors and go to the horses to march forward slowly.
The Huns who followed him were all quiet at this time, and their eyes were looking in all directions, beware of Cao Jun, who might be killed at any time.
The landing of 20,000 Huns was an extremely huge project.
It took two or three hours for all the Huns to go ashore.
Glancing back at the large array that had been completed behind him, Qubei raised his arm and shouted, "Follow me!" ”
As soon as the shouting fell, he was about to ride his horse forward, when suddenly there was a shout of killing from all directions.
With the sound of shouting and killing, countless Cao troops appeared in three directions except the river bank.
Cao Jun, who suddenly appeared, was holding a spear designed by Cao Shuo and lined up in a neat defensive formation.
The Cao army in the last row opened their bows and arrows one by one, aiming at the large array of the Huns.
