Chapter 342: Rockets
Liu Fan gave an order, and the whole army attacked.
The hussar generals have clear rewards and punishments, and they must practice their words, and everyone in the army knows it.
In the hussar army, many horses and captains rose to the top by killing enemy generals.
Talking about a reward is not a blank check. Once verified, a reward will be given.
One step can reach the sky, one step is glorious and rich.
20,000 cavalry cavalry rushed out in units.
After one rushes out, another one. Form an orderly formation.
The court of the Xiongnu in the south is only more than 100 miles away from the camp of Manbo. The war horse can run in one breath.
Luan Tiqiangqu has repeatedly proposed to relocate the royal court, so he is afraid of this. There was cowardice in his heart.
If the Southern Xiongnu were strong, some people would treat the Han army stationed in Manbo as a lamb to the slaughter.
The Marquis of Subu Gudu has always wanted to settle the battle with the Han army, and he has long had a strategy to attack Mamber, but he is not fully in power, and there is no reason.
The Han army had the upper hand in this regard.
A blood alliance?
Wars are only divided into strong and weak, and only a small reason is needed between attacks, or even no reason.
As soon as war was declared, the army arrived. Success is reserved for those who have courage and determination.
When the army crossed the border of Mamber and reached the territory of Meiji.
The Xiongnu rangers discovered the movements of the Han army, which was expected by Liu Fan.
Even in the middle of the night, the royal nobles would arrange a large number of rangers on the borders of the Han and Xiongnu spheres of influence.
Otherwise, the Xiongnu nobles would not have been able to sit back and relax.
When the Huns heard the sound of rolling horses' hooves, they immediately cheered up and stopped to look into the wilderness.
The black shadow moved, and it was an endless cavalry, boundless, stepping out of the darkness.
"The Han army is coming...... Go back and report to your lordship. ”
The Hun rangers roared loudly and whipped south.
Hundreds of Hun rangers ran wild, and they had to report the news to their people.
Otherwise, the Huns were in danger.
Hundreds of Hun rangers ran in front, and the 20,000 Han cavalry infantry behind seemed to be chasing behind, looking infinitely desolate.
The Han army was not chasing them, the Xiongnu royal court was their target.
The Han army had to be in a neat formation, so it was slower than the Hun cavalry.
But Liu Fan didn't deliberately increase his speed, and he didn't even bother to chase them with the help of Mo Qilin. There must be other Hun rangers nearby, and they can't chase after them.
Even if the Xiongnu knew about the Han army's attack a moment in advance, it didn't matter.
The Han army came to recuperate, and Xianbei was still resting. Without an hour, the forces of the defense could not be organized at all.
This is a surprise attack, taking advantage of its unpreparedness and attacking its weakness.
Ugly time.
The cavalry of the Han army was less than ten miles away from the Xiongnu royal court Lianyi.
At this time, the sound of horses' hooves woke up the sleeping Huns.
The Xiongnu rangers have returned to the big tent and informed Luan Tiqiangqu and the king of the left and right Xian to inform Luan Tiqiang Qu of the attack of the Han army.
The court of the Huns shook.
The Marquis of Luan Tiqiangqu and Xubu Gudu immediately ordered the soldiers to keep watch at the gate of the royal court.
Dispatched "10,000 cavalry" to mobilize 30,000 cavalry to garrison the Xiongnu royal court.
The Han army came prepared, and it was likely that there were more than 20,000 Han troops in Mamber.
Luan Tiqiangqu and Xubu Guduhou sent rangers to the south to find reinforcements from various tribes.
"I have repeatedly proposed to move the royal court, just because I was afraid that this kind of thing would happen, and now it has come true. The Han people say that the son of a daughter can't sit down. You don't understand. Luan Tiqiangqu was disheveled, patted his thigh in the big tent and said.
"The Han army is just robbing the camp, why are you panicking? Even if the Han army has 50,000 horsemen, our army's 30,000 is not impossible to resist. At the moment, the whole army is resisting, waiting for reinforcements to arrive. And not complain here. ”
The Marquis of the Beard Bone is much more courageous than Luan Tiqiangqu.
From the time the Han army was stationed in Manbo, he was ready for a sneak attack and a sneak attack on the Han army.
The old thing mistook him and let the Han army take the lead.
After speaking, the Marquis of Xubu Bone rushed out of the big tent, I led Erlang to repel the Han army, what face do you have to do this.
"Go too! Be sure to block the Han army. Luan Tiqiangqu ordered his two sons.
His two sons are both brave people, and there are few people in the southern court who can compare, and they can also command thousands of troops.
"Father, don't worry, with us here, the Han army doesn't want to enter the royal court. When the sons and daughters put on their armor and ride on their horses, they will definitely fight back against the Han army. Yu Fuluo responded to Luan Tiqiangqu.
"My brother and I will do our best."
Hu Chuquan said cautiously. He wasn't as optimistic as his brother.
……
When the Han army arrived at two miles from the royal court, the Xiongnu had already organized a certain number of troops, armed with bows and arrows, armed with scimitars, and stationed at the gate of the royal court.
"General. The left division has not yet led the army. How? ”
Xu Huang rode to Liu Fan's side and asked.
"Don't miss the opportunity! Dismount and line! Liu Fan ordered Xu Huang.
Although Xun You has not yet led the army, Liu Fan knows that it will not be long away.
Taking advantage of the surprise of the Xiongnu, he first burned the Xiongnu camp and made the Xiongnu panic.
"Command all the troops, dismount and line up!"
Xu Huang ordered to the dozens of heralds around him.
The heralds ran and shouted, and one by one the Han troops stopped their horses, turned over and dismounted, then took off their weapons from their horses, abandoned their horses and ran forward.
Every soldier runs like a tiger and stands tall like a pine.
20,000 troops, the order is forbidden. The soldiers in front ran to a hundred paces away from the fence of the Xiongnu royal court.
On the side, there are Han troops constantly making up, and it has been extending to the east.
The horizontal and vertical looks boundless, tightly surrounding one side of the Xiongnu royal court.
In a moment, countless torches were lit in the Han army's camp.
The Xiongnu also saw the face of the Han army clearly, and it was everywhere.
Although the Xiongnu had already organized several thousand cavalry, they could only wait for the battle.
This is the legendary Han army "cavalry infantry".
They hadn't fought against the Han cavalry and infantry, but if you make up your brains, you can understand.
Since the Han army gave up the advantage of horses, it must have something superior.
Yes, the capture of camps is what the infantry is good at.
"Beat the drums, light the rockets!"
The Han army has already set up the drums of war.
At night, the golden drum is the command. The golden drum is the eyes and ears of a general.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
Xu Huang gave an order, and the war drums sounded.
The Han soldiers stuck torches in the ground, took out the rockets, and lit the sackcloth with grease under the rocket arrowheads.
Then place the arrow on the bowstring.
Xu Huang had already given the order before, after the rocket was completely ignited, each unit could release the arrow on its own.
20,000 Han soldiers, during the day, can also use the order flag as a signal. Unity of command is not possible at night.
"Whoosh!"
A thousand-person order, under Sima's order, to throw the first batch of rockets.
A thousand rockets are spectacular, as if a rain of fire is falling from the sky, but this rain of fire carries the roar of death.
Immediately after that, another soldier threw the rocket.
One by one, the first wave of rocket ejections was completed.
The rain of fire in the sky was reflected in the pupils of the Hun soldiers.
Fear creeps through their minds, and the unknown is the source of greatest fear.
The rain of fire and rain fell from the sky, unseen and unheard.
The Huns fled in a panic, but how could the rockets fall fast......
