Chapter 36: Zhou Tai's Courage (Subscription Requested)
The king of the Northern Xiongnu had already noticed the strangeness on the battlefield at this time, he really didn't know what was going on with the five thousand Han cavalry that rushed over, did they think they were dying too slowly?
You must know that even if most of the cavalry is attacking the main force of the Han army, the Xiongnu still have 20,000 or 30,000 available cavalry.
However, as the war progressed, the heart of the Northern Xiongnu King was not so relaxed, because until this time, the Han cavalry of 5,000 people had not been eliminated, especially the leading general, who was brave and unparalleled, and he no longer knew how many Xiongnu generals fell under his sword.
If he could, the king of the Northern Xiongnu would have wanted to order the abominable Han general to be shot immediately, but by this time the Huns and the Han army had already been mixed together, and the archers could not attack at all.
"Come, take the king's strong bow!" As soon as the voice of the Northern Hun King fell, his own soldiers delivered a strong bow to him.
The Northern Xiongnu were driven to the west by the Han Dynasty and the Southern Xiongnu, but there was no threat from the Han Dynasty there, and the Northern Xiongnu lived quite well. However, it seemed impossible for him to fulfill his wish.
The Northern Hun King held the bowstring, and a faint smile crossed the corner of his mouth, maybe other archers couldn't do it, but he was very confident, he could shoot the brave Han general in this chaotic situation.
Stretching the bow, taking the arrow, aiming, and firing the arrow, all the actions were done in one go, and the wolf's tooth arrow went straight to Zhou Tai like an eye.
Zhou Tai was already a little numb at this time, just killing people mechanically, and he had only one goal, that is, to move forward, until he threatened the king of the Northern Huns, otherwise he would only shrink back against the cavalry with foot soldiers.
"General, be careful"
When Zhou Tai turned around, a soldier passed by him and fell to the ground, most conspicuously with a wolf's tooth arrow stuck in his back.
"General, please ask the general to take the small loot home for the small one and hand it over to the old lady at home." The soldier spoke intermittently, his voice getting weaker and weaker, and eventually lost his breath.
Zhou Tai didn't know what the soldier's name was, but it was clear from his young face that he was a soldier and not a border soldier.
"Brother, sleep well, so-and-so promised you that he would definitely bring your loot home, unless so-and-so died!" Zhou Tai felt a surge of anger in his heart, and he had a monstrous killing intent.
"Kill! Avenge the brethren! ”
Zhou Tai's roar, like a tiger's roar, overshadowed the shouts of nearly 200,000 people on the battlefield, shocking everyone for a moment, even the king of the Northern Huns in the distance heard it.
"What a fierce man, it's just a pity!" The king of the Northern Huns couldn't help but shake his head secretly, he admired Zhou Tai a little at the moment, he was so good at a young age, if it took time, what would it look like?
It's just that none of this will happen, because today no matter what, the king of the Northern Xiongnu will not let go of these Han people, the little emperor of the Han people reminds him of Shan Yu when the Xiongnu were the greatest, and the Han Dynasty at that time produced a little emperor named Liu Che.
As a result, the Xiongnu fought by the Han army had no power to fight back, and could only flee far away from Mobei, and these humiliating Northern Xiongnu kings did not want to reappear again.
Now that the Southern Xiongnu have been destroyed, Xianbei is also from the whole country this time, and the same is true of their Northern Xiongnu, if they let go of the Han people, with the strong heritage of the Han people, they will definitely recover their strength faster than themselves, and then it will really be their own end.
Thinking of this, the king of the Northern Huns waved his hand, and suddenly a team of 10,000 people rushed forward, intending to completely defeat Zhou Tai's army.
Seeing that the Huns had sent an army of 10,000 people, Zhou Taihao shouted fearlessly and rushed forward.
The cavalry of the Han army also roared with Zhou Tai's roar, and then took advantage of this sharp spirit, and the five thousand iron cavalry of the Han army actually beat the Huns back and forth.
As soon as they retreated, the form on the battlefield suddenly became clear, and when Huangfu Song saw this, he ordered, "The time is right!" Counterattack. ”
With Huangfu Song's order, the Han army's formation suddenly changed, and the original defensive position turned into a stalemate formation in an instant.
So that the Huns' cavalry had no way to raise the speed of the horse under this formation, Huangfu Song smiled slightly, this formation was learned from Xu Rong.
At the beginning, Xu Rong defeated 30,000 Xianbei elites with 50,000 new troops, which was really indispensable.
That's why now Huangfu Song wants to reproduce the great victory that was said!
The soldiers of the Xiongnu Chinese army were beaten back again and again by Zhou Tai's 5,000 iron cavalry, and the Xiongnu cavalry in front of them were stuck with the Han army, so that the two war groups actually formed an open space.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Huangfu Song's mouth turned up slightly, and the king of the Northern Huns looked at the scene in front of him in horror.
"Kill!"
Zhou Tai shouted loudly, and then after seeing the Huns retreating, he immediately shouted, "Cone formation!" ”
When the five thousand Han army iron cavalry heard Zhou Tai's order, they hurriedly took Zhou Tai as the front and formed a long conical formation.
Under the leadership of Zhou Tai, a freak with amazing strength, the cone formation continued to hedge with the Huns, although the Huns had the advantage in strength, but they were still defeated by Zhou Tai, and it was easy to cut a road, Zhou Tai didn't care about the Hun soldiers on both sides, and rushed directly towards the position of the northern Hun king.
"Shhh The king of the Northern Huns couldn't help but take a breath of cool air, and kept muttering, "What a fierce general!" ”
In the face of the superior number of Hun cavalry, Zhou Tai actually killed a bloody road, which shows Zhou Tai's bravery, and can also see how important a fierce general is on the battlefield, especially when long-range weapons such as bows and arrows cannot be used.
The king of the Northern Huns knew that Zhou Tai's goal was himself, but he couldn't retreat, didn't dare to retreat, and didn't want to retreat.
He couldn't retreat, because once he retreated, the morale of the entire Xiongnu army would collapse.
I didn't dare to retreat, because of the open space between the two war groups, this open space seems to be very small and has little effect, and it can be used by the cavalry in an instant, but it is this small open space that makes the Hun army unable to echo from the beginning to the end.
Originally, the battle in front at this time was a stalemate, if the Han people attacked from the open space first, then the cavalry in front would be a tragedy, the cavalry was surrounded, or a small area that could not even turn the horse's head around, then there was no left to wait for death!
I don't want to retreat, because the Xiongnu have been defeated for hundreds of years, he really doesn't want to be defeated again, if the joint Xianbei fails to succeed at this time, then the Xiongnu can only go away.
What's more, now that the entire army of the Northern Xiongnu is here, if it is defeated, the result is unimaginable.
The king of the Northern Huns looked at Zhou Tai, who was getting closer and closer, and a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes. (To be continued.) )
