The horn was blown out, and in an instant, the horn sound of the Hun Right Xianwang Department also sounded, the battlefield suddenly darkened, and the visual gap made the soldiers on both sides jump in their hearts and unconsciously retreat, and the collision of weapons between them, the sound of blades entering the flesh, the screams of soldiers, and all kinds of noise exploded again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The three thousand crossbowmen who formed the arrow array were ordered to advance, as if they were peeling the skin of a fruit, and every time they fired the arrow array, they could peel off a layer of skin from the army formation of the Right Xian Wang's department, and if it weren't for the unsatisfactory rate of fire, they could completely break through the defense line of the Right Xian Wang's department by using the power of the arrow array. It wasn't until the torches of the Youxian Wang's main camp were extinguished that the crossbowmen lost the light to shoot at the enemy, so they stopped shooting in order to avoid firing by mistake.

Lin Bin, who was in the rear, looked stunned, he didn't expect that Youxian Wang Jishan would order the fire to be extinguished when the formation was about to be broken through.

"Ji Shan...... is so bold!"

The nomads were already unable to see during the night battle, the torches were extinguished, and the soldiers of the Right Xian Wang's department became blind, although the Shence army was temporarily prevented from continuing to advance, but the accidental injuries of their own side were bound to increase.

"Pass my military order: The Shence army will distance itself and use the bow and crossbow to kill and injure the soldiers of the Right Xian Wang's department!"

After receiving the military order, the Shence army in front tried to retreat, but due to the previous melee, the soldiers in the formation were not easy to retreat, almost a little step back, the Huns approached, and when they were bitten to death, the officers at the grassroots level came up with a way, they shouted for the rear to light torches and throw them to the side of the Huns, trying to cut off the route of the Huns who were constantly rushing forward with arrows.

The noisy battlefield, the cries for help are destined to be drowned out by other voices. Over time, the soldiers who were able to retreat had been withdrawn, and the remnants were overwhelmed by the Huns. Once again, the brutality of the battlefield has been demonstrated.

The Shence Army and the Right Virtuous King Department distanced themselves. The Huns, who were dark and unable to see, did not chase them out, but began to adjust their formation again.

Ji Shan was definitely an old fox, and after repelling the attack of the Shence army, he seemed to guess what would happen next, and while cursing Yizhi and watching coldly, he ordered his army to prepare for retreat. According to his original words: only a fool would stand still and let the Han army shoot with a crossbow.

Lin Bin realized that he was making a mistake, and what he had been avoiding was a war of attrition with the Huns, but the one who had just charged the battle was indeed engaged in a war of attrition.

In this battle, whether it was Lin Bin, Yi Zhixian, or Jishan, they were all calculating each other, compared with the Huns who had fought for half their lives. Although Lin Bin has two thousand years of knowledge superior to this era and has a keen sense of war, he is obviously at a disadvantage. Lin Bin has no anger in his heart, sometimes only by understanding his own shortcomings can he comprehend new things. He never thought that he could fight against the entire Xiongnu on his own.

"My lord! The army attacked from the flank! ”

The ground trembled violently, a torrent of firelight poured down from the left flank of the battlefield, and the cavalry of the court of the right valley liking finally made a move in the roaring sound of horses' hooves, and they roared and waved their weapons. Approaching the rear flank of the Shence Army from the flanks.

Lin Bin smiled. "They finally moved! Pass on my military orders: the servant army and the slave army will move forward, and stop the cavalry at any cost; Ignite a bonfire signal and order the wolf army to attack! ”

The servant army and the slave army were defeated several times, and many of them had their heads cut off, and the newly replaced slave officers did not dare to slack off the military order, and they led the troops forward with a shout almost as soon as the military order was delivered. When the knights on the rear wing of the Shence Army turned around and fought with the cavalry of the Right Valley Liwang Division, the servant army and the slave army also bit the cavalry of the Right Valley Liwang Court Department from behind.

The operation of the Shence army to attack the Youxian Wang's department has not been smooth, and after distancing itself from the Xiongnu army, the Shence army finally found its own way of fighting. They took advantage of their crossbows to kill and wound the enemy.

The steppe people, who could not see at night, tried to find the direction where the arrow was fired, and when Jishan organized troops to counterattack. The crossbowmen of the Shence army changed the direction of the arrow formation, and shouted angrily that he could not let the army rekindle the torches, which would indicate to the enemy where to shoot, and ordered the whole army to retreat.

For the first time, the entire military formation of the Right Virtuous King's department retreated, which made the soldiers of the Shence Army who were firing the arrow array cheer, and the huge cheers also revealed their position.

Ji Shan "hey, hey, hey" laughed wildly, "I can't find you now!" ”

Youxian Wangbu found the location of the Shence Army's arrow array and began to counterattack, and the two sides fired arrows back and forth, and Ji Shan organized a team of cavalry to charge.

The central battlefield was fierce, the battle between the crossbow and the bow, and the range of the crossbow machine was completely dominant, which made the laughter of Ji Shan in the wild laughter lower and lower, and finally broke the scolding, and the cavalry he sent out to attack the crossbowmen of the Han army ran to the middle of the road and was shot into a hedgehog lying on the ground.

"The Han Army's Infantry Crossbow !!"

Ji Shanshu gritted his teeth, he was close to the Han Kingdom, and he suffered a lot of losses on the crossbow, and the only thing he was afraid of in the battle was the crossbow machine of the Han army.

Very suddenly, the warriors of the Shence Army who lurked next to the court of the Liwang of the Right Valley lit a bonfire, which made Yi Zhi, who was in the formation, stunned for a moment, until he heard the deafening sound of horses' hooves coming from the darkness, and he understood what the bonfire meant!

Bank of China was also stunned, and then his expression became iron-blue: "Back hand!" This is the back hand of the Han army! No wonder they took the initiative to attack, it turned out to be to create conditions for these ambushes! ”

I don't know if the Huns have the phrase 'hindsight', anyway, I feel very harsh when I listen to it. Yi Zhi squinted at the army sent out to support the Youxian Wang's troops being dragged down, and it seemed that there were enemy troops attacking in all directions, so he let out a sigh of anger, "Ji Shan's plan has failed." ”

To be fair, both sides failed in their tactics......

The Tiger Army and the Leopard Army sent out marched rapidly to the north, and at a distance of about 100 miles from the battlefield, they encountered the remnants of Jiahe, Yange and other troops who had withdrawn from the hinterland of the Xiongnu. Jiahe gave a message: there are Hun cavalry cruising around the entire Helan Mountain, and their marching direction is Heshuo, and the preliminary judgment is that the strength is no less than 200,000!

The deputy commanders of the Tiger Army and the Leopard Army felt that this matter was of great importance, and on the one hand ordered the army to stop advancing, and on the other hand, hurriedly sent an urgent envoy to contact the headquarters. At this time, thirty-two envoys with three small flags behind their backs had already stood in front of Lin Bin.

"Tell you, Koga's words have been finished."

Lin Bin felt as if he had stabbed a hornet's nest? He groaned for a long time. It wasn't until I heard the horns on the battlefield that I looked up, and in the dark night, the Hun army once again took the initiative to retreat, and the deputy commander of the Shence Army and the Wolf Army sent back the heralds.

"It seems that not only do I dislike wars of attrition, but I also don't like Yizhi and Jishan."

Relying on Zhizhi's support to help Ji Shan was fruitless, and his own home formation was hit by the wolf army. The chaotic situation of the entire battlefield turned into an orderly battle of thorns, which made Yi Zhixian think that the initiative was snatched away by Lin Bin, and the combat effectiveness of the Hun soldiers in the dark night was reduced by at least forty percent. Xiang Jishan proposed to temporarily retreat and wait for the dawn to fight again.

Jishan's headquarters withstood the attack of the main force of the Han army, and the 30,000 soldiers and horses brought out were at least half of them lost in the melee for nearly three hours, and more than half of these half of them died under the bow and crossbow, and he lost the confidence to drag until dawn. Immediately accepted Yi Zhixiao's suggestion. He immediately led his troops and retreated.

Lin Bin ordered that the army not have to chase after the Youxian Wang Department and the Right Valley Liwang Ting Department, after determining that the two troops of the Xiongnu were withdrawn, he ordered the wolf army to go to the periphery to guard, and the rest of the people lit torches to clean up the battlefield, and after dawn, they withdrew to Guangmu to meet with the Tiger Army, the Leopard Army, Jiahe and other departments, and relied on the defense line established by the Black Flag Army to conduct defensive operations, and then make it count.

The members of the wolf army are also steppe people, and they also have symptoms of night blindness. If it weren't for the firelight, the charge just now wouldn't have been able to find its way. They discussed loudly as they cleaned up the battlefield, and all of them thought that their side had won the battle. Praise them for the wisdom of their 'revered king', and use their miraculous tactics to defeat the Huns in the field.

Lin Bin habitually looked down at the luminous watch, which showed two o'clock in the morning. When he raised his head, he saw that his subordinates were staring at the watch in his hand as usual, and he frowned and pulled his armor sleeve back on, "Lead the headquarters to help clean up the battlefield,"

The generals were stunned for a moment, and then left in response. They felt that their adults were a mystery all over their body, and they had long been curious about the 'watch' that glowed at night.

As the Shence Army joined the sequence of cleaning up the battlefield, the whole operation became faster, and they paid attention to the wounded first, followed by the corpses of the dead in battle, and finally focused on the weapons of the dead.

In the war of cold weapons, only a few soldiers were killed by one blow on the battlefield, and most of them were only severely injured and fell to the ground in a state of suspended animation, and died of blood loss without anyone's help.

The soldiers who cleaned up the battlefield would always cheer every time they found a robe with a breath of air, and then the two of them ran away with their legs on a simple stretcher. Finding the enemy soldier who was not yet dead, their only reaction was to stab the soldier begging for mercy in the heart, then grinning and picking up the weapon next to him and rushing to the next place.

In order to seize the time, Lin Bin finally simply coerced those people from the Western Regions who had surrendered to join the operation of cleaning up the battlefield. It was the first time that the people of the Western Regions had seen an army that could defeat the Huns in a field battle, and they were surprised and chose to cooperate.

Until four o'clock in the morning, when Lin Bin ordered the whole army to close, the armies of the Right Xian Wang Department and the Right Valley Liwang Court Department did not appear once, which seemed very abnormal, making Lin Bin feel a little uneasy, Lin Bin always felt that the Huns must have a new trick, and for a while he couldn't think of what loopholes he exposed for the Huns to seize the loophole.

On the way back to the army, Lin Bin asked the urgent envoy who came back to repeat the information in detail, and after listening to it, he seemed to have caught something?

"The enemy army from the direction of Helan Mountain is not a reinforcement withdrawn from the Western Regions?"

Lin Bin seemed to understand that he sent an army to harass the hinterland of the Huns to give those greedy tribes with fertile rivers and grass an excuse to march eastward, and it seems that Youxian Wang Jishan also understands the greed of his own clan, so he wants to drag his main force regardless of losses, waiting for the Hutu Department and the Lou Fu Department to cut off their back road, expecting a battle!

After retreating to Guangmu, Lin Bin finally saw Jiahe, who had been absent for almost two months......

Jiahe's whole body was already in tatters, and his first reaction when he saw Lin Bin was to raise his hands and clench his fists, telling him what he had seen and heard.

This kind of Jiahe is also the Jiahe that Lin Bin knows, Jiahe always puts business first, which is why Lin Bin attaches importance to Jiahe!

"The war between the Xiongnu and the people of the Western Regions entered a stalemate, and those Xiongnu tribes who originally wanted to follow Shan Yuting's army to pick up the bargain saw that there was no advantage to take advantage of and retreated to Helan Mountain. As soon as they returned, we lost the space for guerrilla warfare and were driven out of the hinterland of the Xiongnu in disarray. ”

Jiahe's expression was not angry but a little excited, "I thought to myself, since they are chasing, then lead them in the direction of Heshuo; While spreading the news of the defeat of the Xiongnu army in Heshuo, in terms of the greed of the Huns, the idea of entering Heshuo will surely arise. ”

Lin Bin understood what Jiahe meant, and he didn't say much, so he asked the grassroots to go down and call the generals of the various armies to come to the big tent of the Chinese army.

Waiting for the generals of the various armies to arrive one after another, Lin Bin asked them to discuss the gains and losses of this battle according to tradition.

At last......

Lin Bin paused word by word: "We lost this battle." ”

The generals were stunned! Some of the quick-witted officers also looked gloomy, although the Huns were repelled in this battle, but their own side also suffered nearly 70,000 casualties (including servant army, slave army), is the heaviest loss, 70,000 may be nothing to other forces, but for the newly established Fifth Army, any soldier is precious.

Lu Yan stood up and was extremely serious: "My lord, this word must not be leaked!" ”

Lin Bin naturally knew, he said: "Control public opinion, I want the soldiers to talk about the topic of defeating the Huns." Do you understand? (To be continued,) (To be continued.) )
