Chapter 399: Battle Wuhuan

The wind is light and the clouds are light, the sky is blue like washing, the Hebei Plain that has been alluvial for tens of thousands of years of the Yellow River is stacked with green and green, the blue waves are vast, just like the grassland scenery, but there are more lush forests than the grassland, the fields measured by the chess grid, the scenery is more wonderful, and the wealth is more victorious.

In the past few days, this rich and beautiful land ushered in a group of guests from afar, oh no, to be precise, ushered in a group of robbers from Mobei, more than 20,000 pigtailed Saiwaihu people riding horses, first crossed Zhangshui, and then ransacked Zhangwu County, and then came to the south in a mighty way, when leaving Zhangwu, this team had more robbed of countless large and small packages, more women's cries and Hu people's ugly lewd laughter, and hundreds of ox carts and carriages full of food and property.

Zhang Wuling was ordered by Yuan Shang to open the city gate and let these Hu people supply on the spot, but after this group of Hu people left, Zhangwu City, which had been peaceful for several years, was completely in ruins, the streets were full of corpses, and there were also burning houses everywhere, Zhang Wuling, who was ordered to open the city, also became a headless corpse because he prevented the Hu people from violating his wife and daughter, and turned into ashes along with his own house.

When he went south, the Wuhuan king in his early forties, Bandun, rode his horse and walked at the front of the team, high-spirited and high-spirited, and walking next to Bandun was Zhang Xing, who was appointed by Yuan Shanghuo to govern Jizhou and ask for help, and continued to introduce the situation in the south to Bandun with a flattering face, "King, the distance from Zhangwu to Nanpi is two hundred and sixty miles, all the way is a plain, there is no river to block it, with the speed of the king's march." If it's fast, it's three days, and if it's slow, it's up to four days, and you can get to the city of Nanpi. My lord has prepared enough food and grass for the king's iron horsemen in Nanpiri, so please rest assured. ”

"Is there a city in Jizhou on the road?" Badon asked.

"There is a floating sun city, but if you don't do it, the king can go or not." Zhang Xing hurriedly replied.

"Since there is a city, let's go." Badun said in a big way: "We Wuhuan Iron Rider thousands of miles to save your lord, the warriors are tired, the war horses are also tired, and there is a city to go in to rest." Otherwise, how can you defeat Tao Ying for your lord? Take back your Jizhou city land? ”

"Of course. That's of course. Zhang Xing hurriedly nodded, "Please rest assured, when you arrive at the place, the villain will lead the way for the king, and will also ask Fuyang Ling to open the city gate to welcome the king into the city." Let the king and the Wuhuan warriors rest in the city. ”

Tonton laughed. I am very satisfied with Zhang Xing's answer. He is also very proud of his ability to grasp opportunities, when Gongsun Zhan and Yuan Shao were in the past, it was difficult for the Wuhuan tribe to even cross the Great Wall of Qin. What dare you dream of stepping into the Central Plains and going deep into the hinterland of Jizhou? But now it is different, because a Han man named Tao Ying suddenly rose, Yuan Shao's two sons Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang rushed to send people to invite him to enter the Central Plains, and he ignored the opposition of the dead ghost Qiu Liju's son Lou Ban Shan Yu, agreed to send troops to rescue Yuan, and insisted on taking more than 20,000 Wuhuan iron horsemen to cross Lu Longsai and enter Youzhou.

As a result, the biggest obstacle that Lou Ban was worried about, Jiang Qi and his move, happened to be inexplicably beaten half-crippled by Tao Ying, and was pinned down by the Xianbei tribe and Zuo Xianwang's gang, and he couldn't distinguish an army to stop him from going south, and more than 20,000 Wuhuan iron horsemen passed through Youzhou so easily, and came to Jizhou, a rich place, to be happy and happy. To plunder the rich and prosperous Central Plains, that is the biggest dream of every Hu person!

Suddenly, he wanted to thank the Han official named Tao Ying, if it wasn't for his attack on Jizhou, how could the Yuan brothers cry and shout countless costs, begging them to take the Wuhuan Iron Horse south to the Central Plains? How could he order all the cities he passed along the way to open the gates, so that he could enter the city with his army and be happy? So Badun quickly made up his mind that when he caught the Han man named Tao Ying, he would definitely give him a good time, and he would not cut off his limbs and let him die slowly as he was used to.

Zhang Xing of course knows the reason why Bun Dun insists on entering Fuyang, but it doesn't matter, Fuyang is not Zhang Xing's hometown, what happens has nothing to do with Zhang Xing, as long as he brings more than 20,000 iron horses to Nanpi, the future glory and wealth will be guaranteed.

When they got carried away together, the soldiers next to them shouted in ugly Hu language, saying that there seemed to be an abnormal sound in front of them, and Zhang Xing, who was proficient in Hu language, hurriedly stopped the beautiful fantasy, listened carefully, and sure enough, he heard some strange sounds in front of him, and when he carefully distinguished, he found that there seemed to be a group of people singing neatly, the lyrics were elegant, and the atmosphere was exciting, but he was not very familiar with Chinese but he couldn't understand what the lyrics were, so he had to ask Zhang Xing: "Is it singing in front?" What lyrics? ”

Zhang Xing, who had read the book for a few years, had a strange expression, and replied after a while: "Back to the king, what I sang was a poem by our Han people, the poem is called Guan Ju, as long as we have read the book in Han China, we have basically read this poem, but I have never seen and heard this poem as a song." ”

"Poetry?" Badun was a little angry, and roared: "This king hates poetry the most, and he can't understand a word!" ”

"King, go and kill them all!" The deputy next to him couldn't hold his mouth and said viciously: "There are a lot of people listening to the voice, go and kill them all!" For our Wuhuan tribe this southern expedition to sacrifice the flag! ”

He didn't hesitate, howled a few times like a beast, gave the order to charge, and then the first one rushed to the direction where the sound came from, more than 20,000 Wuhuan iron horsemen were like a pack of hungry wolves, howling and catching up, overwhelmingly rushing to the south, the black pressure was like a locust pressing the realm, Zhang Xing also hurriedly patted his horse to keep up, and sneered in his heart and said, "Eighty percent of the powerful people took their servants out of the city to hunt, and temporarily rose up to let the servants beat the festival and make songs, you deserve to be unlucky!" But it's not right, the big families in Zhangwu City have been killed by the team of King Badun. So what other big families go out of the city to hunt? Could it be a big household in the pavilion outside the city? ”

With this question, soon, Zhang Xing rushed to the vicinity of the sound source with the team of Badun, but when they arrived at the scene, Zhang Xing and Badun's eyes widened again, and what appeared in front of them was a cavalry team of more than 1,000 people, wearing an apricot yellow military uniform different from the Jizhou Army, waving a distinctive military flag with black characters on a white background, and lined up in five neat and loose horizontal lines. is singing with a smile on his face. Not only was he not panicked by the approach of the team, but on the contrary, he sang even louder, as if he was going to use his song to greet the wolves from the desert steppe.

"The team from here?" Badun was not a stupid person, although he found that the cavalry team in front of him was wearing a military uniform of a different color from the Jizhou army. But for the sake of prudence. Still, he ordered the army to halt its advance. He restrained his horse more than a hundred paces away from the cavalry team and asked Zhang Xing, "Is it your team?" ”

"No, it's the team of our enemies Tao Ying traitors." Zhang Xing hurriedly pointed out the identity of the enemy on the opposite side. He said suspiciously: "But it's not right, it's more than two hundred miles away from Nanpi, how dare such a little Tao Ying thief army cavalry come here?" ”

"It's not your team." He was overjoyed and yelled to the left and right: "Sons, you are our enemy! Rush up and kill them all! Whoever kills the most will be the prettiest woman in the next city! ”

"Ulla!" The chaotic Wuhuan team suddenly erupted in cheers, roaring and scrambling to kill the enemy on the opposite side, and the son of Badun rushed to the front, and also roared the loudest, saying that he would hold the most beautiful woman in the next city in his arms.

"Sure enough, it's a group of wild beasts." Seeing the direct rush of the Badun team, Deputy Director Tao, who personally led the troops here, muttered, and snorted coldly: "Temujin, Aguta, wild boar skin, I hope your ancestors are in this team!" ”

After humming, Deputy Director Tao casually ordered, Nian Bin next to him quickly played the banner, the first two teams of the gentleman's army heavy cavalry also immediately turned around, and the light cavalry of the third team stepped forward in turn, pulling the bow and releasing arrows in the high-speed charge, and accurately shooting the bow and arrow at the opposite enemy - the current gentleman is not the gentleman who could shoot an enemy with dozens of arrows nine years ago, after more than nine years of actual combat tests and uninterrupted practice, the archery skills of the gentleman's army have not only been reborn, but also reached the point of perfection, The first wave of 500 feathered arrows was fired, and at least 70% of them hit the target accurately!

Like all the unlucky enemies of the Junzi Army, the Wuhuan cavalry, who had long been accustomed to charging and slashing and reining in the horses and firing arrows, saw for the first time so many cavalry pulling bows and arrows in a high-speed charge, and they were all taken aback and taken by surprise. Because he rushed to the front and wore the fish scale armor that he had snatched from nowhere, he became the primary target of the first wave of gentlemen's light cavalry, and even the people and horses were subjected to eleven arrows, one of which was impartial in the middle of the noisy face door, and fell off the war horse on the spot from the nose into the brain, and before he could even make a sound, he was trampled through the stomach by the hooves of the rear soldiers who were unable to retract, and immediately went to the underworld to hug the female ghost.

"Hustle!" Not far away, Badun saw his son's tragic death, and immediately screamed in disbelief, but before Badun rushed to his son to check whether he was alive or dead, the second and third waves of light cavalry of the gentleman's army had already attacked, and they also shot their bows and arrows accurately at Badun's team, and the Wuhuan soldiers who couldn't dodge were hit by arrows again, screaming endlessly. Then the Junzi Army immediately performed another special skill of the own army, with heavy cavalry in front and light cavalry in the rear, maintaining a strict formation of five horizontal formations, and retreating backwards in an orderly manner.

"Hustle! Hustle! Badon finally had a chance to rush to his son's side, but what made Badon desperate and angry to the extreme was that his only son had not only been trampled through the stomach by the horse's hooves, but also a deadly feather arrow had entered his brain from his nose and deeply into the head of his only son, and blood and brains gushed out of his nose together, and even his mother's ancestral stone could not save him.

"Your Majesty, please mourn." Zhang Xing trembled and persuaded.

"Slap", the furious Gang Dun slapped Zhang Xing in the face, until Zhang Xing's face was full of flowers, and even two teeth were broken, and then Ratun grabbed the saber and roared loudly: "Chase!" Pursue! No matter where you chase it! I also want to kill all these Han dogs, leave no one behind, and avenge my son! ”

The full pursuit of the Wuhuan cavalry. Of course, it was in the hands of the Junzi Army, but the Junzi Army did not rush to perform the housekeeping stunt Mangu, but patiently led the team to the south, and relied on the horsemanship that had been tempered for thousands of years, carefully controlled the war horse, kept the distance from the enemy behind, not only did not give the enemy a chance to catch up, but also let the enemy see the hope of catching up with the army, and led the enemy team to gallop south.

Looking back at the team that was screaming and chasing after him, Nian Bin, the current coach of the Junzi Army, smiled. Deputy Director Tao said, "My lord." In fact, you should really listen to the advice of the military advisors and stay in the camp of Nanpi to wait for Jiayin, an enemy like this, on such terrain. There will be 100% certainty that they will be killed! ”

"I know you can. But I have to come. Deputy Director Tao replied casually: "This is the first battle between my army and the Hu people." If I don't go to the battlefield myself, if I don't personally command this big battle, if I don't personally slaughter these damned dogs. Then I will regret it for the rest of my life! ”

"The Admiral understands." Nian Bin nodded, and said with a relaxed smile: "The famous Wuhuan cavalry is actually nothing more than that, there is neither a formation nor an array, and there is no need for our gentleman's army to take action, just relying on our ordinary cavalry is enough to clean them up!" ”

"Nian Bin, you've been with me for almost ten years, and it's time to tell you a sentence now." Deputy Director Tao first looked back at the enemy's situation carefully, and then said in a serious tone: "Remember my words, never underestimate and believe these nonsense!" These Hu people are indeed still a rabble, not the opponent of our Han regular army, but they will learn and imitate, as long as we neglect them a little and give them the opportunity to rise and unite into a group, then we Han people will be a catastrophe! ”

"So you have to remember that there are only two ways to deal with these Hu people, one is to kill, the other is to divide, kill all their strong people, divide and divide them, let them kill each other, weaken each other, kill them all while dividing and weakening them, and never give them a chance to rise! Never give them a chance to be strong! ”

"And." Deputy Director Tao added with a smile: "When I took you to establish this gentleman's army ten years ago, in addition to letting you resist our enemies in the Central Plains, I also wanted to turn you into a batch of seeds, so that you can form and train more gentlemen's army in the future, and go for us Han people to eliminate and kill all the Hu barbarians in the north of the desert!" You and Gao Chong, Chen Ming, these people, in the future, I will entrust me with a heavy task, kill these Hu people for me, although you are all from humble backgrounds, but as long as you kill enough Hu people, kill enough, become a Taishou, become a assassin is also very hopeful! ”

Nian Bin excitedly sang loudly, looked back at the enemy's situation, and said: "Lord, the front and back of the enemy have begun to be disjointed, and the last general suggested that we should open some distance, let the enemy stop and form a team, and then turn around to lure the enemy, so that we can lure more enemies into our encirclement." ”

"Okay, I can use my brains to fight, it seems that General Nian, who has been dormant for almost ten years, is starting to show his talents." Deputy Director Tao laughed and ordered: "Give a signal, the whole army will accelerate the charge, open up the distance between the enemy and the enemy, and let the enemy join the whole team!" ”

On this day, once served as Wuhuan Shan Yu and called himself the king of Wuhuan, suffered the greatest humiliation in his life, not to mention the death of his son, not to mention that he couldn't catch up with the murderer, his disjointed team before and after, just reunited, his killers and murderers suddenly turned around and killed back, without saying a word, it was a random arrow hospitality, and then turned around and ran, and when his team pursued again, he said that he couldn't catch up with these enemies, and could only follow the enemy's ass from afar to eat ashes, Growing up almost on horseback, Badun was completely furious, and ordered the army to throw away all unnecessary burdens to the rear army, and led most of the main force to run wildly to chase and kill, saying that he would catch up with the enemy in front who was more like a nomadic cavalry than a nomadic cavalry, and avenge his son! It also justifies the name of the Wuhuan Iron Rider that crisscrosses the north!

At the suggestion of another general, Gao Chong, the Gentleman's Army, the Gentleman's Army began to shoot the enemy sporadically, shooting the enemy in small increments, while continuing to provoke and provoke the enemy to pursue them with all their mightβ€”in the absence of stirrups and Takahashi saddles, the horsemen occasionally made such maneuvers, which did not quickly arouse the suspicion of the enemy.

The cavalry masters in the team of Badun also shot arrows in the charge, and started a cavalry and archery battle with the gentleman's army that should have appeared after many years, but in front of the gentleman's army, which had long been accustomed to this tactic, such sporadic cavalry did not play much role in the gentleman's army, and few results were achieved.

After running for more than 60 miles, when the team was forced to stop for the second time, the Junzi army finally came up with the housekeeping stunt Mangu Gang, and used the cavalry tactics invented by the nomads a thousand years later to deal with their ancestors. And in the face of this kind of light cavalry peak tactics in the era of cold weapons, the Wuhuan cavalry has only one fate, that is, to become a mobile arrow target with no power to fight back!

"Boom, boom!" The vibration of the bowstring is like the flapping of the wings of a large swarm of bees, which has always echoed in the cavalry ranks of the Junzi Army, and the whistling sound of the feather arrows echoing in the sky, and the waves of arrows are whistling and rotating, or straight lines, or arcs, and they continue to shoot towards the team of the Wuhuan cavalry.

"How is that possible? How can it be?! The loudest screamer was Badun himself, and in shock, Badun even forgot to command the army, just shouted and exclaimed, "How can there be so many horsemanship masters among the Han people in the Central Plains?" Charging forward and turning back to release arrows, even our best riding warriors can't make such moves one after another?! (To be continued......)
