Chapter 443: Draw away the enemy cavalry
Arush died a very tragic death, and he should say that he reacted when the hidden soldiers of the New Han Army jumped up. At that time, he slammed his horse and rushed straight forward, dodging the soldiers of the New Han Army who pounced on the ground.
Then, he shouted a warning and beat his horse desperately, trying to escape from the encirclement.
However, a crossbow arrow hit him, leaving him wounded.
He rushed forward until he reached the edge of the mountain near Longbei Ridge, and when he saw that he seemed to have escaped from the ambush, he then beat his horse and prepared to flee back around it.
As he walked around his head, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw something. It must be a god, his eyes spit through the branches of the mountain forest, and he looked into the forest, which made his scalp explode in shock. Because, he saw that in the mountains and forests, there were actually dense New Han troops.
He also fled, but he was suddenly shot into a hedgehog by a burst of arrows from the forest.
At this point, the two hundred horsemen sent by Hu Bu were like a drop of water falling into the lake and the sea, and the ripples were destroyed without stirring up.
Although the sound of the fight started, in front of the Longbeiling mountain forest, it was not the Wuhuan people who were fifty miles away that could see and hear the screams of the fight.
After a while, the soldiers of the New Han Army also immediately hid the corpses of the Wuhuan cavalry on the war horses of the two hundred cavalry, and it seemed as if nothing had happened here. Only the meadows, pools of blood, and the smell of blood drifting away in the wind, proved that a battle had just taken place here.
Time passed slowly, and it was already evening.
On the grassland, which has been a little quiet, in the camp of Wuhuan. Suddenly, there was a bang, and a Wuhuan cavalry army rushed out like the wind. This Wuhuan cavalry army. There were about 10,000 people, and they rushed directly to Longbei Ridge.
一qiē. Just as Zhao Yun expected. The New Han Army directly wiped out the 200 cavalry sent by Wuhuan, which really made the Wuhuan people in the Wuhuan camp think hard, and they were anxious and panicked.
Hu Bu, in a depressed situation, sent the two hundred cavalry, and led them to Longbei Ridge to reconnoitre. In his heart, he still thought that there shouldn't be any big problems. But. He waited and waited, but he never waited for them to come back and report. In this way, he could not sit still and sent someone to ask. It really drove him crazy, and the two hundred cavalry he sent out were actually missing again.
Fortunately, he did ask some scouts, who were watching the two hundred cavalry rush to Longbei Ridge, but. But it never came back.
In this way, he was almost certain that there must be something wrong with Longbei Ridge, and there was definitely a New Han army lurking there. He was on the spot. He was going to report the situation to the king of Bunton. However, he took a step, but he suddenly stopped.
That one. He now looks at the report to Rathon, what is he going to report? The two hundred cavalry that reported that they had sent out to reconnoiter were missing again? I went to tell Badon about it earlier. Is it said that the scout spies sent out are missing, and now they are missing again? There's no real information to report to Bunton.
Report that there is indeed a New Han Army in Longbeiling? But who saw it? Even if the king of Badon believed it. So ask him how many soldiers and horses of the New Han Army are there in Longbeiling? How many horses does he need to send to destroy him? How much to send?
In the absence of the enemy's situation, and even the shadow of the New Han Army has not really been seen, it is impossible for Bunton to send the 500,000 cavalry troops in front of the camp to kill them at once, right? It's impossible to kill the army again, right? Although, the camp is very close to Longbei Ridge, and it can be killed in half an hour. But who would kill the enemy without any reason, without knowing the enemy's situation? If it is said that Longbei Ridge may only have a little harassment force of the New Han Army, but it is only three or a few thousand men and horses, then they mobilized hundreds of thousands, millions of cavalry troops to attack at once? Is this going to be the case?
All of a sudden, Hu Bu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
In Hu Bu's heart, he naturally failed to realize the importance of this matter to the Wuhuan tribe. In fact, even Ratun can't be conscious. So, in such a situation, it seems really unlikely that he will immediately report the situation to Bunton. These seem to be small things. Isn't it the New Han Army? It's impossible for the New Han Army to lurk in its own army camp, right? If you are brave enough for the Xinhan army, it is unlikely that you will dare to attack your camp with more than a million troops, right?
Hu Bu thought about it and felt that at most, it was a small number of people from the New Han Army, lurking in Longbeiling to harass his own army.
But now, it is obvious that there is a New Han Army in Longbeiling, but he can't ignore it. After all, Longbei Ridge also belongs to their territory, and there have always been people there, but I am afraid that they were killed by the New Han Army.
After thinking about it, Hu Bu decided that it was better to solve these new Han troops first and then report to Bunton together. lest his report be untrue and be reprimanded. Perhaps, if you solve this matter and destroy this part of the New Han army, you will make a contribution first, or you will make Badun look at you differently, or you may let your army attack Liaodong together.
In this way, Hu Bu sent 10,000 cavalry and went straight to Longbei Ridge.
Hu Bu thought that those scouts could kill the New Han Army unconsciously, and the two hundred cavalry he sent could kill the New Han Army. Now, then, send out 10,000 cavalry to kill them, and see what they can do. Can't you destroy them?
Hu Bu hoped that before dark, those new Han troops would be resolved, and then he could report to Badun and strive to send troops to Liaodong together tomorrow.
This Wuhuan cavalry, as soon as they dispatched, immediately let the Xinhan army know.
The generals reported to Zhao Yun and Tai Shici.
"General Zhao, you really expected things like a god, the Wuhuan people really sent a cavalry army to kill, no more, no less, according to the information sent back by our front scouts, there are about 10,000 people."
"Well, then, we'll send five thousand cavalry and lead them elsewhere. Okay, order the whole army, rest in peace, don't care about the invading enemy, stay until midnight, and then assemble, ready to attack the Wuhuan camp. Zhao Yun said indifferently with a determined expression.
"In this way, the Wuhuan people will definitely think that we are only a few thousand people and horses who have lurked in Longbei Ridge. Having been taken away by them, there will be no longer any suspicion that we still have a large army here. Tai Shi Ci also nodded.
"We will be soldiers. The two or three days of marching were too mentally exhausting. You have to get a good rest, and don't report it if you're fine. Zhao Yun yawned, walked to a tree and sat down, but his expression was confident.
Seeing this, the lieutenant general did not say any more, retreated, and summoned a general. Let him lead two battalions of cavalry, ready to kill from Longbei Ridge, and lure away the attacking Wuhuan cavalry.
The Wuhuan cavalry army kicked up all the way to the dust and smoke and rushed straight to it.
But just as they were about a mile away from the Longbeiling forest, thousands of cavalry of the New Han Army suddenly galloped out from the woods.
The cavalry of the thousands of New Han Army seemed to gallop out of the forest in a hurry, in the eyes of the Wuhuan cavalry army behind. It seems that many of the New Han soldiers fell off their horses because they were too anxious, and then the wolves climbed on their horses again, almost not being trampled to death by other horses.
The battle flag of the New Han Army was also dragged to the ground, looking very anxious. The formation is scattered. Even, the armor and weapons of many cavalry of the New Han Army fell all the way to the ground.
It's obvious. Kill the arriving Wuhuan cavalry, they know it at a glance. This new Han army must be resting in the woods. As a result, they came by surprise, and they could only assemble and flee for their lives on their horses, without having time to organize their supplies and troops.
The distance of less than a mile is really close, especially for their cavalry, rushing up is just a matter of dozens of breaths.
These Wuhuan cavalry, how can they let the New Han Army escape? The Wuhuan commander who led the army basically did not hesitate at all, and when he gave an order, he led the army directly to chase and kill.
Anxious to chase and kill the fleeing Wuhuan cavalry of the New Han Army, they shouted loudly and shouted to kill, regardless of the chase. Everyone was afraid that they would not be able to take credit and benefits if they fell behind, so their entire army was led away by the four or five thousand cavalry of the New Han Army before they had time to give an order and leave people to inspect the woods of Longbeiling. None of the Wuhuan cavalry noticed that there were more New Han troops lurking in the woods.
Zhao Yun and Tai Shici, although they are full of confidence, they are not really not taking this matter to heart. They were nervously watching the situation outside in the woods, and they were really relieved to see that their New Han cavalry had successfully lured away the attacking Wuhuan cavalry.
Looking at the sky, it will soon be dark, and at that time, even if the Wuhuan people still suspect anything, I am afraid that they will have to wait until after dawn tomorrow to send people here to take a closer look. However, the New Han Army will not give them a chance.
The cavalry of the 5,000 New Han Army attracted the tens of thousands of Wuhuan cavalry as much as possible to go far away, as far away as possible from Longbei Ridge.
As for the Wuhuan cavalry, they chased them for dozens of miles in one go. However, I slowly realized that something was wrong. Well, it's not that they suspect anything, it's that they pursued, but they never caught up to the front, and they could chase and kill the cavalry of the New Han Army.
Well, this Wuhuan cavalry of 10,000 people, they first ran for more than 50 miles from the Wuhuan camp, and now they have chased dozens of miles, which means that they have continuously attacked nearly 100 miles. They may be fine, but their war horses can't bear it anymore, and it's already obvious that even if they want to chase them down, they are powerless.
However, at this time, it was no longer up to them not to chase them.
Because, what Zhao Yun told them not long ago, the operational policy of the enemy advancing and retreating, the enemy stationed in us to disturb us, the enemy tired and we fight, and the enemy retreating and attacking have been deeply imprinted in the minds of these New Han army generals.
Now, they are being pursued by the Wuhuan cavalry, and now, chasing and chasing, they are a little lacking. The distance between the two sides seems to be slowly being widened.
The general of the New Han Army, seeing this situation, raised the banner and let his cavalry slow down a little first, ready to turn around and give the Wuhuan cavalry a blow.
This blow, naturally, is to strike with mounted archery. It's like flying a kite in later games.
The Xinhan army slowed down a little, and even the pursuing Wuhuan cavalry didn't notice it for a while, and the distance between them and the Xinhan army suddenly narrowed to about two hundred paces.
At this time, the cavalry of the New Han Army turned around and released arrows, and a round of random arrows shot into the crowd of chasing Wuhuan cavalry. For a while, people turned on their backs and were shot and killed by the New Han Army, because they were not prepared, they did not expect that the New Han Army cavalry who were being pursued by them would give them a sudden hand. So. In the pursuit of Wu Huan's cavalry, the war horses behind rushed over. crashed into the Wuhuan cavalry who was hit by an arrow in front of him, and it was a mess.
Of course. No matter how chaotic it is, their pursuit army formation will still catch up. Naturally, the New Han army would not engage them in a short encounter immediately, and after they released an arrow, they immediately slapped their horses and marched forward, once again opening up the distance between them and the pursuers behind.
There is no way, the war horses of the Xinhan Army galloped for dozens of miles, and they were just warmed up. You can play with this Wuhuan cavalry army as much as you want.
The generals of the Wuhuan cavalry army, who originally felt bad, saw that the New Han army was so hateful and teased them with the combat methods they were proficient in, and in a fit of anger, they were naturally unwilling to give up the pursuit, and once again desperately drove the military horses in pursuit.
came and went like this, and was beaten a few times by the New Han army, and before they knew it, they had already lost one or two thousand men and horses.
This time. It's already getting dark.
Wu Huan's general, but he is not stupid enough to go home, he doesn't dare to chase anymore, after it gets dark. Who knows where they will go if they chase after them? In case, they were lured into the ambush circle of the New Han Army by the New Han Army, then their tens of thousands of cavalry troops might be completely wiped out by the New Han Army. This time. They also woke up, and the New Han Army was not just these four or five thousand men. In case there was still a large number of cavalry of the New Han Army in front, they pounced on it like this. It's tantamount to throwing yourself into the net.
The Wuhuan generals hurriedly stopped their horses, thought about it, and immediately sent people back to the Wuhuan camp to report the situation they encountered to the leader. Then, they gathered all their horses together and slowly retreated, ready to return to the main camp.
The cavalry he sent back to report to the Wuhuan battalion, the New Han Army naturally couldn't pay attention to it, but how could the New Han Army let them retreat safely with their cavalry?
As soon as they stopped, the New Han army also stopped, quickly lined up, and rushed back with another round of cavalry shooting.
The general of the Wuhuan cavalry army was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, but he was helpless. The current situation is really difficult for him to handle. Stopping, the New Han Army released arrows from a distance, and the range of the New Han Army's bows and arrows was farther than theirs. The people also calculated the distance, and only fired arrows where they could shoot them, and their counterattack could not threaten the New Han army at all.
Chase, can't catch up, retreat, these damn new Han troops will chase them to release arrows again.
For a while, the commander of the Wuhuan cavalry army really even wanted to die.
He knew that if he continued like this, his tens of thousands of cavalry would sooner or later be consumed by the New Han Army little by little, and they might be wiped out by the entire New Han Army on this grassland.
It is also considered that the general of this Wuhuan cavalry army is a little courageous, he immediately made a decision and personally led a cavalry to intercept the Xinhan army, and the rest of the cavalry quickly withdrew to the Wuhuan camp.
In this way, the interception cavalry led by this general was almost completely wiped out by the New Han army, and this general, taking advantage of the night, fled into the grassland and did not let the New Han army kill him.
The cavalry sent back earlier to report to the Wuhuan camp was already very late when they returned to the Wuhuan camp.
When Hu Bu heard this, he was taken aback, and he couldn't help but worry about the fate of the tens of thousands of cavalry he had sent out. But fortunately, I finally figured out the situation in Longbeiling, and there really was a New Han Army.
He hurried to report to Bunton.
Naturally, he hadn't rested yet, and when he heard Hu Bu's report, he couldn't help but feel light. Because as he originally thought, in the Longbei Ridge, even if there is a New Han army, there will not be too many, but it is just thousands of horses. It's good to figure out the situation. As for whether the cavalry sent out by Hu Bu could destroy the cavalry of the thousands of New Han Army, he wouldn't care too much.
He thought that the New Han Army was indeed not easy to deal with, and the combat effectiveness of the thousands of cavalry of the New Han Army was estimated to far exceed that of the men and horses sent out by Hu Bu. It is unlikely that 10,000 cavalry will destroy thousands of cavalry of the New Han army. The combat power of the cavalry of the New Han Army has been seen by Bun Dun with his own eyes.
He immediately asked Hu Bu to send a little more men and horses to pick up his tens of thousands of cavalry. Since it was only a harassment force of the small New Han Army, it would not affect his plan. Tomorrow we can still attack Liaodong as planned. Looking at Hu Bu's appearance, it seemed good, and Badun finally spoke, asking his tribe to prepare as well, and early tomorrow morning, they would attack Liaodong together.
After sending Hubu away, he put his arms around Mei Ji, who had been given to him by the clan leader, and fell asleep.
When Hubu left the tent of Bunton, he immediately sent two horsemen to meet his horses. It took about an hour or so before the cavalry was brought back. However, seeing the tens of thousands of cavalry sent out in the evening, only about half of them came back, and everyone was tired and looked panicked, and most of the cavalry among them were colored. These circumstances really scared Hu Bu.
After listening to the report, Hu Bu was secretly surprised and broke out in a cold sweat. knew that the New Han Army was so strong that it almost wiped out his tens of thousands of cavalry, so he sent more men and horses to kill him.
Now, he has actually lost thousands of people and horses, and damaged the foundation of his own tribe, which really makes Hu Bu feel heartbroken.
Fortunately, the whole army will not be wiped out, and it is good that thousands of cavalry can come back.
Because of the Wuhuan leaders such as Badun and Hu Bu, they all subconsciously thought that the New Han Army that had sneaked into Longbei Ridge had been driven out of the mountains and forests by them, so it was impossible for there to be a New Han Army in Longbei Ridge. In this way, none of them thought of making special arrangements for guarding the camp at night, nor did they specifically order the soldiers on night patrol to be on strict guard.
In this way, it gave Zhao Yun, Tai Shici and others great convenience. (To be continued......)
