In fact, for the Wuhuan camp, this night was spent in an excited, excited and expectant mood.

Because, early tomorrow morning, the Wuhuan army will march towards Liaodong, attack Liaodong, and plunder Liaodong. At this moment, their Wuhuan people, from top to bottom, ordinary soldiers to their clansmen, were quite excited mentally. It is precisely because of the entire Wuhuan tribe that they can set off to Liaodong tomorrow to plunder, so their hearts are full of expectations. What could excite them more than plunder?

Therefore, in fact, throughout the day, among the Wuhuan tribes, they are actively making preparations. For example, their people are busy making some delicious things for their soldiers, as well as making more dried meat and food. After all, for these nomads, they are not accustomed to being able to make fire and cook at any time during the march and battle, as the Han army did. These nomads are not accustomed to, nor are they convenient to make food on a fire. Of course, these are only small things, the most important thing is that they have to do the final inspection of their armaments, and in addition, they have to hurry up and make some necessary siege equipment. For example, ladders, crash cars, and other simple siege equipment.

It is precisely because the entire Wuhuan camp is busy and excited, so for the matter of Longbeiling, that is, Hu Bu and a few other tribal leaders are concerned, and nothing else will be asked about it at all.

Because of this, the Wuhuan people, who have maintained their high spirits all day long, were a little excited and sleepless in the first half of the night, but. In the second half of the night, they slept very deeply. The entire camp within a radius of nearly 100 miles, except for the crackling sound of some firewood piles and the sound of hunting torches. It was very quiet.

Of course, a long burst of whirring cold wind will also be particularly hypnotic, which will make people feel more lazy and sleep more peacefully.

In the second half of the night, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici and other generals, nearly 300,000 cavalry troops, were divided into three divisions, and Zhao Yun and Tai Shici each led an army. Another general led the rest of the army.

Fifty miles, in order to avoid the Wuhuan army in the Wuhuan camp to be alert to the sneak attack of the New Han Army in advance and take precautions in time, therefore, in these fifty miles, all the officers and men of the New Han Army are leading the war horses on foot, and the sound of the march is minimized as much as possible.

It's all a drowsy sky all this time, and at night. Naturally, there is no moonlight, let alone starlight, and the whole land is pitch black.

The new Han army sneaked into the dark. In this grassland, there will naturally be no difficulties, no need to walk on mountain roads. Torches are needed to march. And in the steppe, it will not be lost. Because, the fire of the Wuhuan camp. It can give them a clear guide.

The three-way army quietly approached.

When he was still four or five miles away from the Wuhuan camp, he was finally discovered by the Wuhuan cavalry in front of the Wuhuan camp.

These about 500,000 Wuhuan cavalry troops, they are all lying on the ground around piles of fires, leaning on their respective war horses, relatively speaking, they will not sleep as dead as the Wuhuan people in the camp, and they can maintain a more vigilant mentality.

In fact, it was some of their hounds who found out about the situation first.

During this period, the steppe peoples already knew how to domesticate hunting dogs. Even, among the Wuhuan tribes, there are some tribes whose people domesticate falcons. Their falcons can barely play the role of reconnaissance of the enemy, but the role is not too great.

When the New Han Army was lurking and marching before, it would naturally pay attention to the birds in the world, but those were wild eagles on the grassland, not falcons stocked by aliens.

The Wuhuan general who is responsible for commanding the 500,000 cavalry of the Wuhuan people is not the leader of those tribes, but a confidant general of Bunton, Tataban. This Wuhuan general, whose strength is first-class, makes a heavy mace, and is one of the best warriors in the Wuhuan clan.

is not only a warrior, he has actually studied among the Han people, understands Chinese characters, has read a lot of Han soldiers' military books, and knows some simple formations for arranging troops.

He divided the Wuhuan army outside the Wuhuan camp into five divisions, each with 100,000 cavalry, which were arranged into a plum blossom array, and the five armies were five-petaled petals, protecting him with a main army in the middle.

Of course, on the surface, it seems that its military formation is still relatively messy, but once something happens, the Wuhuan cavalry of its large army formation can immediately get on their horses and fight. This plum blossom array means that no matter which direction the enemy attacks it from, he can resist in time, and then the army can counterattack the attacking enemy.

In fact, if such a large army formation is attacked, it can only attack one of them with 100,000 horses at most, and then it can let the remaining few men and horses form a formation to meet the enemy. This can be regarded as a more practical defensive array.

Tataban, he also knows how to domesticate hounds.

There are two wolfdogs, tall as tigers, quite ferocious, natural, and their acuity is better than that of ordinary hunting dogs.

During the day, the movements of the Hubu tribe were naturally known to the Tataban. After all, when Hu Bu sent his army out of the camp to Longbei Ridge, he had to pass through his military formation. When he returned, he saw the situation and knew that the Hubu tribe had suffered a lot.

Back then, in Tianzhen, Tataban also followed Badun's side, and he also saw the power of the cavalry of the New Han Army. This made him dare not take it lightly from the beginning. However, it is precisely because he has seen the strength of the cavalry of the New Han Army. After seeing that the Hubu tribe dispatched tens of thousands of cavalry to Longbei Ridge, they returned after suffering defeat and fled back with most of the centaurs. This made Tataban also believe that there were only thousands of troops of the New Han Army in Longbei Ridge. Because, if the New Han Army had more military horses in Longbeiling, then Hu Bu's 10,000 cavalry troops would not have to come back.

From the mouths of the cavalry of the Hubu tribe who came back, it was also confirmed that the New Han Army did only have a few thousand horsemen, but they pursued for so long until they were defeated and fled back, but they could not get the cavalry of the New Han Army, and even, the damage to the cavalry of the New Han Army was minimal. So, that is, those thousands of cavalry of the New Han Army. He may still be lurking in the shadows of the grassland, and may jump out at any moment to harass his army. So. The Tataban did not dare to take it lightly, even if the New Han army was small. He had to be careful not to suffer at the hands of the New Han Army.

The New Han Army is very good at sneak attacks and the tactics of taking advantage of the situation and leaving. The Tataban also didn't want their cavalry to be bitten by the cavalry of the New Han Army.

So, in the second half of the night, Tataban couldn't sleep, so he took his two wolfhounds and inspected his own military formation. The Wuhuan cavalry army can't be as well-trained as the New Han Army, and the order prohibits it, but. There are also military orders. In his heart, Tataban also wanted to build a disciplined force that could order and prohibit like the Han army.

It's a pity that his tribe is different from the Han people. Han people can raise countless military horses full-time, and in peacetime, they can even train off-duty. But their tribe could not. Adult men, they are going to graze. If you want to hunt, in order to make a living, in order to support your family and clansmen, you can't train the army like the Han people. Even if it's the own tribe of Badun. You can't do it to raise a large army.

Now, give Tataban a chance, for the time being, equal to a huge army of 500,000 cavalry. He wanted to. For a limited time, let these Wuhuan cavalry. Do it according to his wishes. However, there are too many military horses. But it made him a little difficult to control, he was not Han Xin, no matter how many military horses were in Han Xin's hands, he could command the head of the way. He wants to command 500,000 loose Wuhuan and train them into a disciplined force in a short period of time, which is unlikely.

Therefore, Tataban thought that he could not train military horses for the time being, so he would first arrange his army into a plum blossom array, so that whether it was offensive or defensive, he could advance and retreat in a measured manner, and avoid attacking and swarming, and when retreating, they fled for their lives, and they were chaotic.

He first appointed several generals to command 100,000 troops and horses. Break the tribal inertia of the Wuhuan cavalry, and no longer care about a certain tribe, no matter whether those cavalry are from a certain tribe, as long as they enter his army and horse tent, they must all obey the orders of their generals. Some military regulations were established, and below the generals, there were 10,000 commanders, 1,000 commanders, and 100 commanders. And so on, one level at a time.

Unexpectedly, after such a deal, his military horses were much more orderly than usual, and the paths were clearly distinguished, barely like a real army.

Well, the so-called commanders, commanders of thousands, etc., have always been like this in the armies of these aliens. However, they are generally divided according to their tribes. For example, the Wuhuan military general, who made meritorious contributions on the battlefield, was named the commander of ten thousand masters by the king. This is equivalent to the fact that he can command the Wuhuan army and horses of 10,000 people. However, in reality, he could only command the horses of his own tribe in peacetime. If his tribe may only be a few thousand, the young man who can be recruited into an army may be one or two thousand men and horses. Then, even if he is a captain, he only has one or two thousand military horses. And some big tribes, some commanders, can command tens of thousands of horses. This is a feature of the Tribal Army. Because, the tribes of different clans, those small tribes, no matter how powerful the warriors among them are, it is impossible for other big tribes to give him their own people to command. They couldn't mobilize their horses.

Therefore, now Tataban has broken this unspoken rule and has received better results. Why, without the clans supporting those Wuhuan cavalry, they wouldn't dare to be too presumptuous. Otherwise, the cavalry of one tribe after another gets together, and the dispute will hardly be broken.

Tataban was on the periphery of the army, inspecting the situation of the army, and he was indeed a little relieved that the sergeants of the army were able to obey his orders, divide into several armies, and maintain their positions even while sleeping and resting.

Suddenly, the two hounds that followed him closely suddenly looked sharply at the dark grassland outside the army.

The two hounds, almost at the same time, pounced on each other, and the wolf fur on their bodies stood upside down, barking at the same time.

The scream, loud and loud, broke the silence of the night at once.

Countless Wuhuan cavalrymen were awakened by the sound of dogs.

Tataban was also stunned, seeing that his two wolfdogs were so nervous all of a sudden, he immediately understood what they meant, that is, they were so nervous when they encountered extreme danger.

Usually, when they encounter fierce beasts, they will do the same. However, at this moment, Tataban knew that they were not sensing a beast on the grassland, but that there should be an enemy army approaching them.

At the moment, Tataban did not hesitate. Immediately shouted loudly: "The whole army is gathered and ready for battle." Enemy forces are coming! ”

There was a hula sound, awake. Still in a daze, in the past, countless Wuhuan cavalry were awakened. They are indeed worthy of being a nation on horseback, grabbing weapons and turning over on horses. You can attack right away.

"Keep your army in formation, and when one army is attacked, the rest of the cavalry formation. Reinforcements came in batches. It is estimated that there will not be too many enemies who will attack, and it is necessary to surround and destroy the enemies who are coming. In this battle, we must play the majesty of our Great Wuhuan Clan! Tataban shouted: "Whoever dares to meet the enemy without fighting, and those who panic, will be killed!" ”

"Roar!"

The Wuhuan cavalry, with a loud roar, responded to Tataban's orders.

Zhao Yun, Tai Shici and other generals who had already sneaked close to them five miles away.

From afar, I saw the condition of the enemy's military formation. I can't help but be stunned.

The hounds in the Wuhuan army were too alert, and they were actually discovered. Also, looking at the Wuhuan cavalry army in the firelight in front of him, he was able to do it in a short period of time. was able to prepare for it immediately, which was also a bit of a surprise to Zhao Yun and Tai Shici.

That's 500,000 Wuhuan cavalry. The New Han army now only has 300,000 horses, and wants to break through the army formation of the 500,000 Wuhuan cavalry army and enter the Wuhuan camp. It's really not easy.

Originally, Zhao Yun and Tai Shici also planned to take advantage of the Wuhuan people in the Wuhuan camp to sleep. Stormed into their barracks and slaughtered. The destruction of their military camp dealt a heavy blow to them, making it difficult for them to march to Liaodong for a while.

Right now......

Zhao Yun and Tai Shici and other generals did not get together at this time, but each led their own military horses.

However, even if this is the case, what is the New Han Army to fear?

Although Zhao Yun and Tai Shici were not together, they immediately gave orders to their cavalry team.

They, for the first time, let the cavalry drop the thick cloth of their horses' hooves first, and in the fierce battle, the horses' hooves were wrapped with a thick layer of cotton, which was not conducive to the conflict of the horses.

At the same time, when the cloth of the horses' hooves is removed, when the army rushes to kill, it will create a huge momentum.

Zhao Yun and Tai Shi Ci both thought almost at the same time, looking at the Wuhuan cavalry, they definitely didn't expect that their cavalry would have as many as 300,000. Therefore, launching a strong attack now will inevitably surprise them, and it can somewhat shock the military spirit of the Wuhuan cavalry.

I saw Zhao Yun, after taking off the cloth of the war horse's hooves, he flew on the horse, raised his gun and shouted: "Brothers, the enemy is in front of you, it's time to fight them to the death." Extinguishing Hu, the merit is in the future! Kill! ”

"Kill Hu, Kill Hu!"

……

The officers and men of the New Han Army got on their horses and shouted.

"Kill!"

Zhao Yun patted his horse and took the lead in rushing out.

At the same time, the Taishi Ci army, which was not far away, also rushed forward with their horses. Another army of 100,000 cavalry, the same.

Untie the thick cloth wrapped around the horse's hooves, the war horses galloped, and when hundreds of thousands of troops charged in unison, the sound of the horses' hooves on the ground was like thunder, rumbling, like an earthquake, and the earth seemed to tremble.

"Not good!"

In the Wuhuan army, Tataban's face changed, and his heart was shocked.

As a general who can command 500,000 Wuhuan cavalry troops, of course he knows that in the darkness ahead, the thunderous sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded, which represented how many military horses there were. That's definitely not something that a few thousand people can make. That's definitely the cavalry army of the New Han Army.

When will the cavalry army of the New Han Army be able to suddenly kill before their Wuhuan camp? Isn't the cavalry army of the New Han Army in the mountains and forests more than 300 miles away?

Tataban couldn't help but panic a little.

"The whole army obeys the order! Prepare for battle, and never allow the enemy to break through our formation! Tataban hurriedly gave a loud order, so that the rest of the cavalry in large formations were ready to meet the battle.

He did not send any more people to report to the king in the camp, because the sudden attack, such a big movement, must have alarmed the king in the camp. Now, it is important for him to face the battle, and it is important for the enemy to hold back the invading army of the New Han Army.

The distance of about five miles, two thousand five hundred meters, is just two ranges of the range of the bed crossbow, it is really close.

In the Wuhuan camp, their sergeants were also a little flustered at this time.

This, not for them to panic. Even now, there are many tribal brothers together, similar to each other. Because there are so many people, they shouldn't have panicked. It's a pity that the prestige of the New Han Army has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and they, the aliens, are also familiar with it, and they already have a natural fear of the New Han Army.

Especially, now, in front of them, they still haven't been able to see the figure of the New Han Army, because the sky is too dark. Before this dawn, the sky was so dark that you could not see your fingers.

In their camp, however, there were torches lit with fires, and these fires were exposed to the light, so that they could not hide.

In the darkness, only the deafening sound of horses' hooves was heard, and only the shouting of the mountains and tsunamis were heard. It is the enemy that they cannot see that frightens them the most.

From the shouting of killing to the handover of the two armies, it does not take too long. However, in the eyes of the cavalry of the Wuhuan army, from the sound of hooves and shouts of killing of the New Han army, to the barely visible figure in the darkness ahead, it seemed that a long, long time had passed, which made them feel more and more panicked. (To be continued......)
