The heavy snow, which had been falling for more than four days, finally stopped completely, and Liu Bao hurriedly mounted his war horse and led the team to set off towards the camp in Huchuquan. Along the way, Liu Bao looked back in the direction of his camp in three steps, expecting a miracle to appear. However, the reason why miracles are called miracles is because such situations rarely happen, and Liu Bao certainly did not wait for the miracle he hoped for.

Three days later, the Xiongnu cavalry, composed of more than 23,000 young and strong herdsmen, had approached the camp in Huchuquan. Suddenly, someone saw a few white shadows flashing on the snow field in front of them, and the speed was amazing, even the most agile snow fox did not have such speed in the snow.

When Liu Bao received the report, he was suspicious. He came to the front and looked in the direction of the Huchuquan camp for a while, but he saw nothing, and he couldn't help but scream angrily, and said, "You are all dazzled, make a fuss." Keep moving. ”

The snow had stopped, but it was still deep and the pace of the procession was slow. However, everyone knew that as soon as they approached the camp of Huchuquan, their horses would be able to gallop, because the snow there must have been cleared by the people of the Huchuquan tribe.

The whole team walked forward for more than ten miles, and there was already a faint sight of a large group of tents, a large tent in the middle, the red tent roof flashed a little dazzling red under the sunset. Everyone was excited, it was the camp of the tribe of Huchuquan, as long as they could break through the guards of the tribe of Huchuquan and enter the camp, the countless possessions, cattle, sheep and women in the camp would be all theirs. Although there were many of them, the tribe of Huchuquan was the second largest after Yufuluo, and there was no need to worry that the spoils of war would not be enough to distribute.

The dark-skinned man who had always followed Liu Bao's side was already a little uncontrollable, and said loudly: "King Zuo Xian, give the order to rush!" ”

This big man's name is Kemai'an, he is a close confidant of Yufuluo, serving as the deputy commander of this operation, and the 10,000 elite cavalry drawn from the Yufuluo tribe are under his direct command, and he has been closely following Liu Bao because he also has the task of monitoring Liu Bao.

Liu Bao frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Pass my order, send a thousand people to the periphery to guard, and the rest of the people will all dismount and rest!" ”

Kemaian was stunned for a moment, and said: "King Zuoxian, Huchuquan's camp is right in front of you, they must be defenseless now, and they should take him down in one go!" ”

Liu Bao snorted coldly and said lightly: "Those who violate the order will be killed!" ”

Kemaian muttered, turned and went to deliver the order.

Liu Bao sneered secretly, he had long seen that this Kemaian was not pleasing to the eye, if Kemaian was here again, he really didn't mind taking the opportunity to kill him. Liu Bao has fought for many years and has a lot of experience, he knows that his party has already been sleepy and tired after such a long journey in the snowfield, so if he doesn't have a good rest, where will he have the strength to rush to the front.

Moreover, the tribe of Huchuquan is a large tribe second to none, with many young and strong, and if you count the women and children who can draw a bow, their combat effectiveness is not much inferior to them. Now that it is cold and snowy everywhere, the people of the Huchuquan tribe cannot escape quickly, nor can they flee far, and if they are attacked in this situation, they will not surrender as easily as the small tribes, but will definitely resist to the death.

Liu Bao ordered rest, on the one hand, to restore the physical strength of the people and horses, and on the other hand, to wait for the moment when the sun set. When the sun sets, it is the time when the steppe people return to their tents to drink and eat meat, and at this time the mood of the people is the most relaxed, and the guards outside are also the most lax, which is the best time to attack. Liu Bao is already destined to not gain any practical benefits in this battle, and he wants to use a perfect victory to gain a good reputation for himself.

More than 20,000 Hun cavalry traveled a long way, and they were indeed a little tired, and after receiving Liu Bao's order, they jumped off their horses, unloaded their saddles, and lay down on the snow in a crooked manner, allowing the war horses to spin leisurely on the snowfield.

Suddenly, the guard group let out a terrible whistle, and then fell off their horses. From the depths of the snowfield, a large group of white figures emerged, rushing towards this direction like flying, just like the few white shadows they had just seen, these people came and went freely in the snow, running and flying.

At this time, Liu Bao realized that the Hun cavalry was not dazzled, there were really people in this world who could run so fast on the snowfield, and what they saw just now was just the outpost of these people. However, he only realized now that it was too late, and countless white shadows appeared on their left and right flanks, and they were surrounded.

Liu Bao didn't have time to think about who these people were and where they came from, he jumped up from the snow almost reflexively, jumped on the war horse, and shouted loudly: "Quick, get on the horse, resist the enemy!" ”

In fact, there was no need for him to give an order, and the Hun cavalry who were originally lazy and lying on the ground had already rushed to their war horses, and the snow field was suddenly busy. However, this kind of hectic chaos seemed to Liu Bao to be very normal, and he did not continue to give orders, but just watched nervously at the incoming enemy. The Huns did not have the saying that they had arranged their troops in battle, and they had always been chaotic, and they relied on super mobility and superb cavalry archery, and there was rarely a desperate fight in close combat.

Liu Bao had already seen clearly that this group of enemies was attacking from the front and left and right, and did not block their way back. Liu Bao, who also had some research on Sinology, immediately understood that this was a common tactic used by the Han people to encircle three and lack one, could it be that these enemies came from the Han Dynasty? Liu Bao hesitated for a moment, and then prepared to give the order to attack forward. Originally, when he encountered such a situation, he should have chosen to retreat first, but thinking that since the enemy's tactics were to encircle three and lack one, then there would definitely be some traps in the direction of the "shortage", and if they retreated, wouldn't they fall into the enemy's trap?

Before his order was given, many of the Hun cavalry who had jumped on their horses had already taken the initiative to retreat to the rear. These Hun cavalry did not flee from the battle in fear of death, it was just their natural reaction when attacked.

When the Hun cavalry encountered a surprise attack, especially when they were surrounded by surroundment, they often chose to flee immediately, first disengaging from the enemy, and then trying to maneuver with the enemy. Their superb riding and archery ability and superior mobility also provided them with favorable conditions for this tactic. So, in the clashes of the steppe tribes, such scenes can often be seen. A group of people rode horses and ran in front, a group of people rode horses to chase behind, the people in front rode and shot, and the people behind also rode and shot, and the fight was very lively, and the result was a battle with few results.

Liu Bao was nominally the commander-in-chief of these Hun cavalry, but in fact, these Hun cavalry only obeyed the orders of their respective tribal leaders, and Liu Bao's orders needed to be conveyed through these tribal leaders.

The most powerful of these people, the one who controls the most troops, is Kemaian, who was eager to try just now, but at this time instinctively commanded his men to retreat first. Seeing this, the other tribal leaders also commanded their men and horses to retreat to the rear. In addition, many Hun cavalry had taken the initiative to retreat, and the entire Hun team formed a retreating frenzy, and it was too late for Liu Bao to think about it, so he had to shake his head and sigh, and also turned his horse and retreated.

However, the Hun cavalry soon discovered that their tactics seemed to be out of order. The vast grassland they were usually familiar with was now covered with thick snow, and the war horses could not spread their hooves in such a place, and the speed could not be fast, and the mobility could not be talked about, and riding and shooting became shooting while walking.

However, the enemies who came out of nowhere were much faster than them in the snow, and in the blink of an eye, they were just a stone's throw away.

The horses of the Hun cavalry could not run fast, but their bows and arrows were still sharp, and many cavalry simply slowed down the pace of their horses retreating, bent their bows and arrows, and aimed at the direction of the enemy's attack.

At that moment, the white-cloaked enemies suddenly halted their advance, and a rain of arrows rained down on them. Those enemies were far away from the range of the Hun cavalry, and even the best marksmen among them could not shoot such a distance. The Hun cavalry took it for granted that the enemy would not be able to shoot such a long distance, so they did not take any precautions and fell from their horses one after another.

The Hun cavalry, who were lucky enough to avoid this wave of arrows, did not dare to stay any longer, and retreated in a panic. However, their enemy was noticeably faster than them, and although they started later than them, they caught up again in a moment's time, and each time they came closer, there was a rain of arrows, and the Hun cavalry fell in large numbers.

Liu Bao was suddenly shocked, he had seen such a powerful bow and arrow, except for the army under Liu Xin of Jingzhou Mu, who could have such sophisticated equipment? Although he couldn't see who the other party's main general was, Liu Bao already knew that he was facing a very terrible opponent, and couldn't help shouting: "Sons, you can't retreat anymore, you can rush head-on, and you will have a way to live!" ”

In fact, there is no need for Liu Bao to say, many tribal leaders have also felt that if they blindly retreat like this, they are likely to be wiped out, but they are doing their own thing, and no one comes out to unify the command. Although there are no Liu Bao's men and horses here, he is the nominal commander-in-chief, and the voice he shouted at this critical moment really received a miraculous effect. The Hun cavalry, who were retreating in chaos, turned their horses and rushed forward. At this time, the weakness of the lack of good formation training became apparent, and although these Hun cavalry had turned their horses' heads, they only rushed to the enemy in front of them, but did not care about the two wings.

Seeing the Hun cavalry turn around and rush over, the enemies in front of them also quickly retreated, and when they retreated to a distance of more than a stone's throw from them, they stopped and released another wave of arrow rain, as if they were playing a game of cat and mouse with the Hun cavalry, so that these Hun cavalry never came closer.
