The battle is not based on which side has more people, and this is the same for the Wei army, not to mention that the number of Huns is not much less.
At this time, the two armies stood in front of each other, facing each other, so that the air on both sides seemed to freeze.
Because of the sudden killing of Mu, the fleeing Xiongnu tribes did not exclude a messenger to spread the news of the naturalization city.
Therefore, when facing Wei Wuji, the Hun 10,000 cavalry commander was not worried, so in terms of momentum, they were not afraid of the Wei army.
Chen Zhan and Zhang Xian also felt tricky at this time, without the participation of heavy cavalry, this was really a tough battle, and fighting such a battle would mean that there would be a lot of casualties.
Just when the two of them were hesitating, not knowing when to attack, Wei Wuji had a message sent to them, telling them to strike later.
This means that if the Huns on the opposite side do not make the first move, the Wei army will not be able to do it.
So Chen Zhan and Zhang Xian were relieved, because at least they didn't have to make their own decisions. This is not because they are afraid of war, but because they do not want to incur unnecessary losses in this way.
The Wei army is not in a hurry, and the Xiongnu side is even less anxious, because they have already spread the word to Qu and Shan Yu, and I believe that a large army will come to help soon.
So the two sides were separated by three or four miles, and there was a strange confrontation, and no one was willing to make the first move.
The reason why Wei Wuji asked Chen Zhan and the others to wait was naturally because he thought that it was not cost-effective to fight such a battle, why couldn't he use heavy cavalry?
So Wei Wuji was waiting for the heavy cavalry to regain their strength, and it would only take half an hour for them to be able to rejoin the battle.
Of course, Wei Wuji also took into account that the Xiongnu would have reinforcements, but the Huns were now in an unfavorable situation within the Great Wall, so naturally they would not have too many troops outside the Great Wall.
Therefore, I am afraid that no reinforcements will come within an hour, which is enough for Wei Wuji to wipe out the wave of Hun cavalry in front of him.
As the minutes ticked by, it was a good thing that the temperature was not high, otherwise it would have been a torment for both armies, especially the heavily wrapped hoplites.
After a long time, the Hun Wan cavalry commander on the opposite side also felt anxious at this time, and the thoughts of the Wei army commander made him unable to guess.
Just when the Hun commander couldn't help but attack, he heard a report from the scout that the ten thousand horsemen who came to support were less than ten miles away from here.
This news made the commander of ten thousand cavalry give up the attack, and it was naturally better to join forces in a decisive battle with the Wei army than to fight alone.
In fact, this also means that this army has lost the last chance to turn the tables, and if he fights first, they can inflict huge casualties on the Wei army if the heavy cavalry has not recovered.
When Wei Wuji also received the news that the Hun reinforcements were coming, although there were waves in his heart, he did not feel worried.
Because the heavy cavalry had roughly recovered its strength at this time, for the Wei army, which had played with great confidence, this wave of enemies was also just here to deliver food.
After also receiving the news of the Wei army's reinforcements, Chen Zhan rushed to Wei Wuji to ask for battle, obviously wanting to take this opportunity to take the Xiongnu Wanqi on the opposite side first, so as not to combine the two forces.
But Wei Wuji said with a smile: "Don't worry, the time has not yet come, and the attack is not the best time at this time!" ”
At this time, Zhang Xian also rushed over, and after hearing this, he asked: "But I don't know, what does Gongzi think is the right time?" ”
Wei Wuji glanced at the two of them, and then said: "If our army attacks at this time, the Huns on the opposite side will wait for work, which will not be good for me!" ”
"After defeating these enemies in front of us, we will immediately encounter the next group of Hun troops, which is even more disadvantageous for us!"
Seeing that there was still disapproval on the faces of the two, Wei Wuji continued: "What I am waiting for is that when the Hun reinforcements and the Hun army in front of me are united, the formation is not secret...... That's our chance! ”
Hearing Wei Wuji's house, Zhang Xian and Chen Zhan probably understood what Wei Wuji meant, which they didn't expect.
Indeed, even in ancient times, even the Xiongnu, who did not have a tight military formation, were not really unorganized in real wartime.
Otherwise, the original Xiyun Department and Sudden Wood would not have been defeated so quickly, and the core reason for the failure of these two was that in addition to being crushed by the heavy cavalry, another reason was that the basic establishment was torn apart.
Therefore, it is indeed a good way to attack when the two Xiongnu combined forces are not stable, so that they will even be caught off guard.
What's more, the heavy cavalry at this time has regained its combat effectiveness, and Chen Zhan and Zhang Xian are not worried, because their subordinates who are as strong as suddenly wood are not the same as being destroyed and decrepit.
Sure enough, just ten minutes later, smoke and dust rolled up behind the Huns again, and it was their reinforcements that arrived.
At the same time, just as Wei Wuji had predicted, the two Xiongnu armies would reconcile and then begin to fine-tune their formations, but even fine-tuning would be extremely fatal at this time.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wei Wuji took the heavy cavalry as the center, and at the same time ordered the three armies to move together, and it was necessary to take the Hun army on the opposite side in one fell swoop.
This can be regarded as a meeting gift for Qu and Shan Yu, and at the same time announce the return of his Wei Wuji, so that the soldiers and civilians of Yanshan County will know that it is he Wei Wuji who has returned.
He, the legendary son, is the key to saving the people from fire and water at this time, and a big victory is just the prelude to the counterattack of the entire Yanshan.
Yes, Wei Wuji is so confident, and the Xiongnu are not an invincible existence in his heart at this time.
The Xiongnu were not destroyed and did not return to Wu'an...... This sentence pressed on Wei Wuji's heart all the time, making him feel like a man.
At this time, it was a good opportunity to defeat the Huns, how could Wei Wuji let it go easily.
Looking at the entire Wei army that had already rushed over, Wei Wuji thought of the Xiongnu Shan Yu army within the Great Wall, and it was really troublesome to say that those talents were troublesome.
Because they are not on the grassland, if they stick to the city pass or the city, Wei Wuji has no way to take them, he can't use cavalry to attack the city like them.
Therefore, disrupting the logistics of the Huns became a strategic goal that Wei Wuji had to achieve, so that the Huns would have to fight a decisive battle with them.
The hooves of the hoplite cavalry roared like thunder, but the Hun army on the opposite side was in a panic, they never expected the Wei army to attack at this time.
In a hurry, when the two armies were not completed, they could only order the whole army to attack. Otherwise, when the speed of the Wei army is raised, there will be less time left for them.
Because they didn't know what heavy cavalry was, the fighting spirit of this Xiongnu army was still high, and even in the face of the Wei army, which had more troops than them, they were also extremely proud.
"Kill the Wei people......"
"Big order in long live ......"
There were thunderous cheers in the Xiongnu army, and the Wei army was not taken into account at all, because they were the kings of the steppe.
The Wei soldiers on the opposite side looked at the Hun army opposite with the eyes of a dead man at this time, and they also had strong self-confidence.
This kind of strong self-confidence, in layman's terms, means that the military spirit is strong and the military spirit can be used.
Who will be able to laugh in the next battle In the end, it seems to be clear, but it seems to be unclear.
