Chapter 175: Breakthrough at the top
It's bloody again, because of Huo Quai's uncertain way of playing, and it is to avoid strong enemies, and to go around when he sees checkpoints, only looking for tribes and stragglers on the grassland to fight, just like a nail to stab here and there, although this method of warfare is very tiring, but the effect through accumulation is surprisingly good, and the deterrent effect is also surprisingly good.
The flames soared into the sky, there was a wail, and another tribe was destroyed by Huo Quai's army, Huo Qubing fought more and more fiercely, at first it was called capture, and then it was called conquest, and finally it was directly called a fatal blow, and today is only the next day, where the Han army passed can only be described as destroyed, except for the people who took the initiative to surrender at the beginning survived, the rest of the scorched earth.
"General! Do you need to take a break! The soldiers have been running for more than a day! Han Tong watched the soldiers who were very excited but tired in their bones report on Huo Qu's illness, and it seemed that he was also very tired.
Huo Quzhi didn't care about what Han Tong said, just looked around and said, "It's only been a day now, and I can't stand it, what will I do in the future?" No, notify the troops that everything will disappear from here in half an hour, speed! ”
Han Tong saw that Huo Qubing did not allow it, although he was a little reluctant in his heart, but the military order was difficult to do, so he could only leave quickly with the team under the leadership of Huo Quzhi, leaving a tribe with only ruins left, and those Huns who did not resist and survived were only left with the thin clothes on their bodies, food, grain, grass, tents, burning, killing, and burial.
Tens of thousands of Han cavalry destroyed a tribe and then quickly left, running wild in the dew-filled meadows.
Suddenly, Qi Dong, who was in charge of the exploration ahead, rode a war horse and came to this side quickly, and before Huo Qubing could ask, Qi Dong said nervously: "Ahead, ahead, a large number of Hun cavalry in front are coming this way." ”
"Massive!" Huo Quzhi asked with blank eyes full of doubts, "How many are there?" ”
"There are more than 20,000 cavalry!"
"Where?" Before Qi Dong could say anything further, Huo Quzhi had already looked up.
"Twenty miles away!" After Qi Dong finished speaking, he arched his hand and said: "General, let's fight, we haven't even fought a decent battle until now, now that they are here, let's fight!" ”
"Yes, let's fight!"
"Lao Tzu's hands have been itching for a long time, it's really not difficult to fight these tribes alone!"
Seeing that all the soldiers were gearing up to meet the enemy, Huo Quai's heart was very complicated, whether to adhere to the tactics just now and continue to fight with acupuncture, or directly meet the 20,000 Hun army.
But after thinking about it, the 20,000 army must be fought, because he came from the front of the Han army, and Huo Qubing knew that behind the Han army, the army of King Xiu Tu was also desperately rushing to this side, and once he hesitated, he would be attacked from both sides.
"Brothers, good news for everyone!" Huo Quzhi suddenly rode the Baiyun Dragon Horse onto a small dirt bag and said loudly: "We, we have no way to retreat, it is reported that there are 20,000 Hun soldiers in front of us, but our back King Hutu and his pursuers are also rushing here, what should we do?" Huo Quai's voice became louder and louder.
"Fight to the death, fight to the death, fight to the death......"
"General, you just give the order, Lao Tzu has already killed enough Ben by the end of this day."
"Yes, yes, Lao Tzu's big knife has long been hungry and thirsty!"
Facing the soldiers' appearance of seeing death as home, Huo Qubing was very pleased, raised his gun with a single hook, and shouted: "Don't say more, it's too late for those who are afraid of death now, and the Huns who want to surrender will not accept it after washing down the blood, there is only one way to live, that is, to kill them, and the best defense is to destroy the enemy!" ”
The 20,000 army is ten miles away, Huo Qubing is not so stupid to take the initiative to attack, if the Han army rests and recuperates on this ten mile road, it is enough to restore the physical strength of the soldiers and war horses, so Huo Qubing ordered the army to rest on the spot and wait for the arrival of the Hun cavalry.
After less than an hour, the 20,000 troops of the Huns arrived, standing on the hill and looking down at the front is quite spectacular, 10,000 horses galloping, listening to the Huns from the sound also seems to be very excited, and it seems to know that the Han army, known as the butcher, is also in front.
Judging from the marching style of this group of Hun soldiers, it is the regular army of the Huns, quite tactical, not like the militia of the tribe, which makes Huo Qubing a little puzzled, is this Hugh Tu Wang faster than himself? They all ran to the front.
"Boom......"
When the Han army saw that the Xiongnu army was coming, the gong sounded to gather and command, and everyone got on their horses to prepare for battle, and then brought coins to the horses (covering the horses' mouths to prevent the horses from barking)
"Bow and arrow ready to ......," Fan Muzhu, who was standing on the hill, shouted at the top of his voice.
The Han army on the horse all drew their bows and aimed at the sky, pointing directly at the Hun army that was running, which was to come to a long-distance strong shooting rhythm, and every Han soldier used all his strength to draw the bow.
At this time, the Xiongnu army actually didn't know how many Han troops came, and only received reports from some tribes who fled, and the tribes were attacked by the Han army, so they rushed all the way to the rescue.
Iron hooves stepped through the grooves formed by the muddy grass and quickly filled with water, and the Huns shouted as they ran with their swords and bows.
Huo Quzhi and Kazar and the others lay on the back of the hill and watched silently.
Suddenly, more than 20 Hun soldiers suddenly appeared on the right side of the hill, they rushed to the side of the hill quickly, from the appearance, this is the vanguard of the Hun soldiers, this is the necessary for the war, the pioneer of Huo to the sick department is Qi Dong.
The horse galloped all the way, and the leader seemed to feel that something was wrong, because there were a lot of horseshoe prints in the grass on the hill, and they were very messy, and experience and experience told him that they were just left, and they were very, very numerous.
Sure enough, the leading Tanma was stunned as soon as he walked to the top of the hill, and the two Hun soldiers fell directly from the horse, only to see more than 10,000 Han soldiers behind the hill all holding bows on their horses.
After taking a closer look in the blink of an eye, I saw that Huo Quzhi had rushed to the front with a single-hook gun, and before the leader could speak and turn around to give the order, he was stabbed into the heart with a single-hook gun, and fell to the ground and died on the spot.
Seeing this, several other little minions were in a mess, and they all turned their heads and ran, and at this time, the Hun army was still running to the rescue of the tribe without noticing.
"Full ......"
After Huo Quzhi stood on the hill and shouted, the Han army pulled the bow a little harder, and his facial expression became difficult.
"Putting ......"
"Whoosh......"
"Whoosh......"
With Huo Quai's order, more than 10,000 arrows pressed towards the Xiongnu army like a fairy off the string.
The Hun army, which had not yet reacted, suddenly suffered heavy casualties, and one by one people fell off their horses and smashed heavily into the mud of the grass, and some soldiers were even looking around when they were dying, not knowing what was wrong.
After all, this is a well-trained regular army, so after the first wave of arrow rain of the Han army, the Huns have already mastered the position, distance and number of the Han army, after all, the Huns are the originators of cavalry archery.
But it was too late to grasp it, and when the Xiongnu army was in a panic and ready to counterattack with cavalry, the second wave of bows and arrows of the Han army came again.
Long-range killing is like this, whoever has the initiative is the king, just like the result of aiming at each other for half a second and shooting for half a second and half a second for less is very different.
After the bow and arrow, many Hun soldiers were still moaning on the ground, and they heard bursts of muffled sounds coming from the ground, which was the sound of horses' hooves, judging from the intensity of the sound, at least tens of thousands, getting closer and closer, closer and closer .......
Suddenly, the Han army's light cavalry army rushed over the hill like a wildebeest, and it made people tremble when they looked at it, and some seriously injured Hun soldiers saw that they were going to die, and they cried directly.
