Chapter 502: Missing (Supplement)

In fact, this tactic is often used by the Hun cavalry, and their tactics are learned from the wolves on the grassland, and it is very effective, so most of the peoples on the grassland take the wolf as the totem of their own nation. However, now they are in the position of cats or wolves, their enemies, and they are just rats teased by cats or prey by wolves.

The only reason for this is that it is their enemies who are now extremely mobile, and they are slow-moving targets. It's not terrible for an enemy to have a bow and arrow with a longer range, but it's terrible that no matter how hard they try, they can't get closer, because the enemy is always faster than them, and they seem to be able to move with ease. If they can't get closer, their bows and arrows will not reach the enemy, and they will only be beaten passively, but they will not be able to fight back.

Despite this, Liu Bao still shouted loudly for the Hun cavalry to rush forward, because he knew very well that there was only a dead end to retreat, and in front of him was the camp of Huchuquan, where the snow should not be too much, suitable for the galloping of war horses, as long as they held on there, they had hope of fighting the enemy.

The Hun cavalry watched their companions fall continuously, frightened and angry, but even if they were full of strength, they also played from a distance, because they could not reach the enemy at all, and many of them had already flashed a look of despair in their eyes, and if it were not for the urging of their respective leaders, they would have dismounted and surrendered. If this scene really happened, it would have set a precedent for the Hun cavalry to surrender to the enemy in the wilderness.

Suddenly, the enemies who were walking on the snow stopped and no longer retreated as they advanced. Liu Bao was overjoyed when he saw this, and shouted loudly again: "Sons, they can only be so fast in the snow, now, there must not be much snow behind them, rush up and kill them!" ”

Liu Bao guessed correctly, these people who could walk on the snow like flying were the Han troops under Liu Xin, and these Han troops really couldn't retreat anymore, because the back was already very close to the camp of the Huchuquan tribe. Huchuquan is a large tribe with many people, and they have already cleared the snow around the camp, where there is only a thin layer of snow, and skis can no longer glide on it, but even cannot be used at all.

But what Liu Bao didn't expect was that these Han troops really couldn't retreat, but they quickly caught up. The Hun cavalry had been distressed by the Han army out of their range, they first fled to the rear, and then rushed forward with all their might, but there was not a chance to shoot arrows, they had become accustomed to their bows and arrows not reaching the enemy, and even forgot that they had bows and arrows in their hands, and they were just bent on rushing in front of each other. As a result, now that the Han army has come up, they did not release arrows to block them, but subconsciously urged the war horses under their crotches to move forward, forward, and forward.

The two streams of people collided violently, and a large cloud of snowflakes rose on the ground, which was a scene caused by a man falling on his back and falling into the snow. The two sides began to engage in hand-to-hand combat, and the sound of fighting shook the earth, the sound of blade clashing, the neighing of war horses, and the screams before dying resounded.

The Huns rode on horses, wielding scimitars desperately, although they were condescending, but there was no running horse and no impact, and their combat effectiveness at this time was only weaker than the infantry. On the contrary, the soldiers of the Han army, when they approached the Hun brigade, jumped off their skis one after another, and let the skis rush into the Hun team by inertia, knocking the Hun cavalry into a back. Then these Han soldiers rushed forward and fought with the Hun cavalry.

This Han army was led by Zhao Yun, who could have bypassed the camp of the Huchuquan tribe and handed them over to Huchuquan to deal with instead of directly confronting the Hun cavalry. At this time, 15,000 men and horses have been gathered in the tribe of Hu Chuquan, and the Hun cavalry that came to attack must have been less than this number after their consumption just now, and Hu Chuquan is still waiting for work, so he should have a greater chance of winning.

However, Zhao Yun understood Liu Xin's order very well, and knew that it was more advantageous to preserve the strength of the Xiongnu as much as possible than to wipe them all out, and his mission this time was to protect the safety of the Huchuquan tribe, and he was fearless no matter how difficult it was.

At this time, Zhao Yun took the lead, wielding his elusive bright silver spear, turning the Hun cavalry team upside down, and every time the shot was stabbed, a Hun cavalry was picked off the horse, and no one could stop him for a round.

Seeing the main general rushing to the front, the Han soldiers were deeply inspired and rushed to those Hun cavalry. In the eyes of the Hun cavalry, the Han people were cowardly and easy to bully, and now seeing the fierce performance of these Han people who are not afraid of life and death and move forward bravely, their hearts began to beat drums. Moreover, the Han troops they faced were not blindly savage, they were all well-trained, and they were very skilled in cooperating with each other, and the Hun cavalry had almost no power to fight back under their onslaught.

Finally, the Hun cavalry began to be unable to resist, and the strength of the scimitar in his hand gradually weakened, and some people had quietly retreated. At this time, a burst of shouts erupted in the Han army: "Surrender or kill!" Surrender or kill! ”

These words were shouted in the Xiongnu language, and they were taught to them by Zhao Yun two days ago. This shouting made the Hun cavalry, who were already in endless love, even more hesitant, and they didn't know who threw away the scimitar in their hands first, dismounted and knelt on the ground. Seeing this, the other Hun cavalry also followed suit, and for a while, the "poof" sound of abandoning the blade and submerging into the snow was endless, and the battlefield that was still fighting for days just now was instantly quiet, which looked very weird.

Of the 23,000 Hun cavalry, not a single one of them stood on a horse or on the ground, the dead were already lying there, and the living were lying on the ground. At first, the Han army slipped and shot, always kept a certain distance from the Hun cavalry, and had shot and wounded nearly 10,000 Hun cavalry. Although the Huns were fierce, they were not good at hand-to-hand combat, and by this time the Han army had surpassed them in strength. The two sides fought, and in just a moment's effort, more than half of the Hun cavalry had been killed or wounded.

The so-called hand-to-hand combat of 1,000 wounds and 800 self-inflicted injuries is very cruel, which is why Liu Xin has been committed to developing various bows and crossbows to improve the ability of long-range strikes, and he wants to try his best to avoid the occurrence of short-range encounters. Although the Han army has far surpassed the Hun cavalry in terms of combat effectiveness, the energy of the Hun cavalry in the face of difficulties is also amazing, and the casualties of the Han soldiers in this battle also exceeded 3,000. Since Zhao Yun led the troops, there have never been such big losses in dozens of battles, and when the battlefield was quiet, his face has been tense, and there is no trace of a smile in sight.

The soldiers of the Han army cleaned up the battlefield in an orderly manner, the doctors of the army hurriedly bandaged and treated the wounded comrades, and the bodies of the fallen comrades were also gathered together. Liu Xin had a strict order that under no circumstances should any soldier be abandoned, and even if these young soldiers died in battle, they must try to bring their bodies or bones back to their hometowns.

To the surprise of the Hun cavalry, the Han army, after bandaging and treating its own wounded soldiers, began to treat the wounded among them.

The herdsmen of those nomadic tribes, whether in foreign conquests or tribal conflicts, have not been compensated for their casualties and rarely received medical treatment. Therefore, these nomadic tribes like to fight with the wind, and if they fail, they will flee immediately, because if they die, their families will lose their breadwinners, and their wives and children will be bullied and even become slaves of others. In today's battle, if it weren't for the fact that there was snow outside, and their horses couldn't run fast, they would never have fought like this.

If they are wounded, the fate is often more bleak than death. Without timely treatment, many of the injured become disabled and incapacitated, and instead become a burden on their families. Now that they have received timely treatment, and it was actually the Han army who was fighting to the death with them just now, these rough grassland men had a little bit of emotion on their faces in addition to surprise.

At this time, the sky had already darkened, and the Han army lit hundreds of torches, illuminating the entire battlefield as if it were day against the white snow.

Several soldiers carried a stretcher in front of Zhao Yun, and it was Yu Fuluo's confidant Kemai'an lying on the stretcher, one of his right legs had been cut off by the Han army, and he had become a complete waste. Just now, when the interpreter in the Han army asked who their leader was, the wounded Huns who had been treated pointed their fingers at Kemaian almost at the same time, so Kemai'an, who had just been bandaged, was carried here.

Zhao Yun asked in a deep voice, "Why didn't Yu Fuluo come?" ”

Kemaian was seriously injured, but after being treated by the military doctor, his life was no longer in danger, and he was also a well-known tough guy in the tribe, otherwise how could he get the trust of Yufro and hand over these 10,000 elite soldiers to him to command.

However, Ke Mai'an, who was originally worried about death, was actually rescued by the Han army, and there was a trace of turmoil in his heart, and he didn't have the slightest disgust with Zhao Yun's question, gritted his teeth, and replied truthfully: "Shan is seriously ill and not suitable to go on the expedition, so let Liu Bao be the commander, and I will only assist him from the side." ”

In the order issued by Liu Xin, in addition to protecting the safety of the three tribes such as Hu Chuquan, another item is to try to find an opportunity to eliminate Liu Bao, to see people alive and corpses to death. Knowing that the commander of this Hun cavalry was actually Liu Bao, a cold light suddenly flashed in Zhao Yun's eyes, he forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and asked sharply: "Where is Liu Bao now?" ”

Facing Zhao Yun's aggressive gaze, Kemaian couldn't help but shudder, and said honestly: "He was with me just now, but later, you rushed over, but he disappeared. ”
