Chapter 028: The Dawn of the Long Night
The grassland before dawn is particularly beautiful, in the endless horizon, the afterglow of the red sun makes the sky seem to crack a crack, the breeze gently blows the grass, and a few running lambs play in the grassland.
More than 1,000 people from the orphan Wachikar tribe got up early, although it was not yet dawn, but it couldn't stop everyone from evacuating Mo Nan's heart, men and women were dismantling the tents, preparing the carriage and baggage.
At the tribe's horse farm, the two Huns laughed and talked as they walked.
"I heard that Da Shan brought grain and grass to the tribe yesterday?" A Hun soldier asked another Hun man with a heavy baggage.
The Hun man shook his shoulders, and then said with a depressed face: "What kind of grain and grass, I brought a news, Wei Qing of the Han Dynasty led 100,000 soldiers and horses to Chen Bingdingxiang." After speaking, he pointed out the direction of the Great Wall to the Hun soldiers.
The Hun soldiers who heard the news suddenly changed their faces: "I won't call you today!" ”
"How is that possible?" The Hun men were always suspicious of the Han soldiers coming over today: "It will take more than a day to run from the Great Wall of Dingxiang to our orphan depression." After speaking, the Hun man pondered for a while and continued: "But it should only be these two days. ”
"Hey, I can't stay in Mo Nan like this, I really don't know how to live this day after returning to the big desert in Mo Bei." The Huns were very sorry about the retreat to the north: "If it really doesn't work, let's go to King Zuoxian!" ”
"You kid is looking for death, this right virtuous king is not dead yet." After the Hun man finished speaking, he looked left and right, for fear that someone would listen.
"Not dead? The defeat is like a mountain, what is Da Shan Yu doing here, is to deal with his affairs, do you think he will have a good life? "The Hun soldiers seem to be very clear about the affairs of the Huns.
Listening to the Hun soldiers, the more outrageous they became, the more outrageous the Hun men listened, the more outrageous the Hun soldiers became, the man took the baggage in the hands of the Hun soldiers and said seriously: "I'll tell you, don't talk nonsense, be careful." After speaking, he looked at the prairie and then took a deep breath of fresh air and said, "Hurry up, the leader said that it would be better to leave early when it was dawn." ”
"Hey, what are you doing? Don't hurry up yet! ”
Just when the Hun men and the Hun soldiers were walking and discussing high-level matters, suddenly Khazar rode out from behind a tent on a war horse, and shouted loudly when he saw the two deserting, and the two left quickly.
"General, everyone is here!" A cavalry general with an axe on his shoulder said to Khazar: "The tribal leader has led some people to ambush in the Horse Farm, and we have all ambushed to the Moli Hill on the right side of the orphan depression. ”
"Well, the two thousand war horses that their tribe asked for from King Zuo Xian should remember to feed them, and when the reconnaissance detachment of the Han Dynasty is annihilated, we will bring them back to the camp of Shan Yu together." After saying that, Khazar pulled the reins and headed for the intended place.
As time passed, the sky began to slowly brighten in the grassland, and there was no need for torches for marching, and the endless grassland horizon was no longer a gap in the red sun......
Khazar rode a high-headed war horse and suddenly stopped, breathing in the fresh air of the grassland and suddenly felt regretful, King Youxian has been operating the grassland in the north of the desert for a hundred years, no one dares to move, and no one dares to point fingers, but this time it was carried into the hands of the Han Dynasty.
Looking at the sun rising along with the steppe horizon, Khazar's mood seemed quite peaceful and .......
Suddenly, a black dot under the sun on the horizon moved rapidly, with a trace of gray dust, and several tribal flocks were frightened and scattered, and through the afterglow of the sun, Khazar faintly saw a banner .......
"Not good!"
"Whoosh ......"
"Whoosh ......"
"Whoosh ......"
As soon as Qajar's voice fell, the war horse had just turned around, and a rain of arrows accurately fell on the soldier camp that Kazar was preparing to ambush, and for a while the screams, attention, and falling to the ground sounded, and the sound of the war horse screaming together, and the bow and arrow came one after another like rain, and the strength directly pierced a Hun war horse.
Some soldiers are still chatting and don't even know what the situation has died, and some soldiers turned around and just wanted to escape, five or six arrows were already inserted in their backs, and then they fell to the ground in pain, some soldiers just took out their shields to block in front of them, but their feet were already hit by arrows, and the bows and arrows of the Han Dynasty rained down and devoured the hearts of every Hun soldier.
"Wei Qing is here! Evacuate! ”
The arrow rain has just ended, and before these Hun soldiers reacted from the Han bow and arrow, they saw a large number of Han soldiers galloping towards the Chikar tribe on the bright grassland, this time everyone finally saw clearly, there were about 4,000 Han cavalry, the soldiers wore ghost-faced iron covers, and it was very scary in the not very bright grassland, the war horses were wearing armor and steel hoods and only showed two eyes, each rider held a sharp spear at the same time, and carried a strong bow on his back, there was no wild scream, only the sound of the horse's hooves charging.
"Wei Qing's Tiger Camp, ready to fight, ready to meet ......." In the face of the most elite troops in Wei Qing's hands, Khazar had no room for hesitation, only to fight, because no one from the Chikar tribe in the rear had not yet evacuated.
Khazar and the Tiger Camp actually have a deep relationship, Khazar is still the general under the command of the Right Sage King Moses Jie, he often clashed with Wei Qing's Tiger Camp, the Tiger Camp is Wei Qing's own cavalry elite, in the Han Dynasty's first battle of Monan, the Tiger Camp was under the leadership of Wei Qing to the right Xian King to deal a heavy blow, the Han Wu Emperor Liu Che is even more fond of this army, and visited before the expedition.
Because the attack of the Han army was too sudden, although Khazar wanted to counterattack, under the suppression of the powerful arrow array and the morale of the Tiger Battalion, the soldiers had already been impacted, and some soldiers had continued to run behind the Chikar tribe without obeying the command.
The most taboo in combat is this, in the face of the soldiers' stage fright, and then looking at the Han army that is coming with tiger strength, Khazar has no choice but to retreat, you must know that his strength is only two thousand, and there are so many ...... of stage fright.
And the Chikar tribe has been in a mess, everyone was surprised by the sudden arrival of the Han army, and set off to retreat north at dawn, but this day was just about to leave, the Han army arrived, men and women panicked all of a sudden, some people directly threw away the baggage in their hands and rode on horses to prepare to escape, and the men who were working heard the enemy's situation, put down the materials in their hands, picked up spears and bows and arrows to face the battle.
"Chief, hurry up and lead the tribe to retreat north, I'll cover!" Khazar rode his war horse and ran to the tribal camp with blood on his face, shouting at the leader who was organizing the defense.
"How did you come so quickly?" The leader never dared to believe that it was the army of the Han Dynasty: "This, it's just dawn today!" ”
"It's Wei Qing's Tiger Camp, evacuate quickly!" After Khazar finished speaking, he pulled the reins and shouted to his soldiers: "Array......, don't panic, array, array......." ”
Surprise attack its unpreparedness, the Chikar tribe is like a frightened bird, the sky is already bright, only to see the tribe not far away in the gray, a large group of people and horses on the vast grassland came quickly, while galloping and shooting arrows at the tribal camp, suddenly heavy casualties.
