Chapter 142: Fire Bull Array

The Han army was in the rear.

Zuo Sima hurriedly said to Zhang Huan: "General, more than half of the casualties of the first echelon can no longer be supported~~ Let the second echelon go up!" ”

Right Sima also persuaded: "Yes, general, if the first echelon collapses, the defeated and retreating troops will disrupt the formation of the second echelon, if so, the situation will be dangerous~~"

"No~~" Zhang Huan's eyes were cold, and his tone revealed a categorical meaning, "It's not time yet!" ”

Zuo Sima said: "Then let the cavalry on both wings attack." ”

"No! Cavalry must not move! ”

Zhang Huan once again coldly rejected Zuo Sima's request, of course the cavalry on both wings could not move, this was the decisive strength to defeat the Huns, and they must not attack until the most critical moment of the battle! Zhang Huan has absolute confidence in the army under his command, and he firmly believes that the first echelon can withstand the force.

……

The right flank of the Huns.

Zuo Yingwang Zhiya looked excited, and said loudly: "Da Danyu, the Han army is about to collapse!" ”

"No~~ It's too early to say that the Han army is going to collapse!" Yu Fuluo raised the horsewhip in his hand, pointed to the rear of the Han army, and said in a condensed voice, "Have you seen the formation of the Han army?" Zhang Huan divided nearly 20,000 infantry into two echelons, front and back, once the first echelon could not support it, the second echelon would immediately be able to rise up~~"

Nu'er begged: "The first echelon of the Han army is about to be unable to support it, why hasn't Zhang Huan sent the second echelon up?" ”

Yu Fuluo said: "Because ~~ Zhang Huan believes that his soldiers can withstand the charge of the Great Hun cavalry!" ”

"How is this possible!" The Zhiya Master was shocked, "The first echelon of the Han army has just withstood the rush of 50,000 war horses, with heavy casualties and exhaustion, and their archers are no longer able to pull their bows!" Under such difficult circumstances, could they really withstand the charge of the five thousand Hun iron cavalry? ”

"Tooth Keeper!" Yu Fu Luo Huoran turned his head to look at the Zhiya Master, and said in a condensed voice, "The Han Army~~ is the king of foot combat!" Never doubt the tenacity and tenacity of the Han soldiers! ”

"Huh!?"

Zhiyashi's eyes flashed, Huo Ran looked back at the battlefield, but was surprised to find that the situation on the battlefield had undergone an incredible reversal, after withstanding the initial impact of the Hun cavalry, the defensive formation of the Han army, which had been extremely contracted and looked like it might collapse at any time, suddenly rebounded~~

The 5,000 Hun cavalry of Captain Zuo suffered heavy casualties under the counterattack of the Han army and had to retreat back~~

"This~"

The tooth master was stunned, and a sound of inhalation suddenly sounded in the Hun array.

"It's worthy of the Han army, it's really unbelievably tough!" Yu Fu Rosen smiled coldly and said in a deep voice, "But ~~ This is already the last performance of the Han army, and the herald ~~ The whole army is assaulted!" ”

……

The Han army was in the rear.

Zuo Sima shouted bitterly: "General, the whole army of the Huns has assaulted!" ”

Zhang Huan's eyelids jumped inexplicably twice, and his eyes suddenly bloomed with an incomparably sharp cold color, the Huns~~ finally couldn't help but launch a full-army assault? Then let them come, from now on, there will be no longer a nation of Xiongnu in this world~~

Right Sima shouted: "General, the Hun army directly takes the middle of our army, it seems that they want to chisel through our army from the middle and divide it into left and right sections, making it difficult for our army to take care of each other~~"

Zhang Huanhuo Ran raised his head, only to see that tens of thousands of Hun iron horsemen had gathered into a wave of surging monstrous waves, swept towards the middle of the Han army, and the first echelon, which had already suffered heavy casualties and was unable to fight again, bore the brunt of it, directly facing the iron hooves of tens of thousands of Hun iron horsemen galloping~~

Chisel through tactics? The corners of Zhang Huan's mouth suddenly bloomed with a trace of cold murderous intent, I had expected that the Huns would definitely use the chiseling tactic!

"Herald!" Zhang Huan coldly ordered, "The first echelon will not retreat, and the second echelon will be divided into two armies, left and right, and retreat behind the cavalry on both wings to re-array." ”

"The general has an order~~ fight to the death and not retreat!"

"The general has an order~~ divided into two armies, left and right~~"

The heralds behind Zhang Huan quickly galloped away.

In front of the Han army, the colonel held a steel knife in his hand, standing proudly, not far behind him, tens of thousands of Hun iron horsemen swept like a monstrous wave, the eyes of more than 2,000 remnants of the army focused on the colonel, and the colonel's eyes were indifferent~~ Suddenly, the steel knife of the colonel was raised high, and the cold blade was straight into the air~~

"Fight to the death~~ Don't retreat!"

The little colonel looked up to the sky and howled, his expression was sad and hideous, as a soldier of the Han Empire~~ Dying on the battlefield is the ultimate fate!

"Fight to the death~~Don't retreat~~"

The two thousand remnants shouted frantically, erected their big shields, suppressed their big guns, and re-formed a hideous horse rejection array, and began the last and most gorgeous journey in their lives~~

……

The Hetao battlefield is dozens of miles to the north.

The two black-pressed cavalry marched forward in a surging manner, and only began to slow down when they were less than a hundred paces away, and finally merged into one, and the vast grassland suddenly erupted in a sea of cheers and shouts.

Zhou Cang came to Ma Yue panting like a cow, and said with a smile: "Lord, Zhou Cang is late." ”

"It's not too late!" Ma Yue paused, and then said, "What about Pei Yuanshao and Liao Hua?" ”

Zhou Cang said: "Soon after the north went out of the Saiwai, the army encountered a sandstorm, and the last general lost contact with the two generals, and now I don't know where the two generals have entered?" ”

Jia Xu came up and said in a condensed voice: "Lord, although the eight thousand cavalry is a little thin, it is barely enough, time waits for no one, now we must attack immediately, I am afraid that the battlefield will change if it is late." ”

"Hmm!"

Ma Yue nodded heavily, and with a slight tugs of the horse's belly, the war horse galloped out of the formation. Ma Yue rode his horse to the front of the formation, Qiang Ran drew his scimitar and raised it in the air, and suddenly, the noise and noise stopped abruptly, and the eight thousand soldiers were silent, and the eight thousand pairs of eyes focused on Ma Yue.

Just as the noon sun shone on Ma Yue's blade, reflecting a dazzling cold, suddenly, the scimitar in Ma Yue's hand swung forward, and the eight thousand tigers and wolves rode like a flood that broke the embankment and spread across the green grassland in an instant, surging towards the fierce battle of the Hetao battlefield~~

……

"Huh~"

"Poof~"

A Hun thousand horsemen held their bows and arrows, and when the bowstring sounded, a sharp wolf's tooth arrow swept through the air and coldly pierced the abdomen of the Han army colonel.

"Ah~~"

The Han army junior colonel howled miserably, stretched out his hand to cover his abdomen, but there was still red blood overflowing from between his fingers, and in an instant, the steel knife in his hands was dyed red~~

"I'll your grandma~"

"Hiss~"

The eyes of the Han army colonel suddenly became extremely hideous, and he threw the steel knife in his hand with a loud roar, and in the sharp sound of breaking the air, the steel knife swept through the sky and viciously cut into the abdomen of the Hun thousand horsemen, the blade penetrated through the back, and the abdomen of the Hun thousand horsemen was completely dissected, and the blood flowed down with the flowing stomach ~~

"桀桀桀~~"

"Puff~"

Seeing that the Hun thousand horsemen fell off the horse, the Han army colonel laughed strangely, and the next moment, a Hun war horse crashed into it violently, knocking the entire body of the Han army colonel upside down and flying, people in the air, and two sharp wolf tooth arrows swept into the air, coldly shot through his throat, the Han army colonel groaned lowly, and finally swallowed his last breath, and also walked the final journey ~~

"Boom~~"

"Puff~~"

The surging Hun cavalry finally viciously collided with the broken defensive formation of the two thousand Han army, and the horse rejection array formed by nearly a thousand horse rejection guns instantly pierced the hundreds of Hun cavalry who rushed to the front with spurs, and the rushing Hun war horses also smashed the Han army's army to pieces with a wild collision~~

"Sigh Rhythm ~~"

In the deafening neighing of the war horses, the second row of Hun cavalry rushed to the horse, and the Hun cavalry with superb horsemanship jumped into the air one after another, and then stepped down viciously from the air with a powerful habitual surname, and suddenly, hundreds of heroic Han soldiers were ruthlessly trampled under the iron hooves~~

In the face of disparity in offensive power, no matter how tenacious the defense is, it will be vulnerable.

"Wow~~"

A Hun cavalry commander took the lead in breaking through the Han army's formation, and when he saw that Huo Ran was open in front of him and could no longer see a Han soldier, he couldn't help but raise the scimitar in his hand and look up to the sky and howl bitterly~~

"Whoa~~"

More and more Xiongnu warriors trampled on the corpses of the Han soldiers, crowded behind the Xiongnu cavalry commander, and howled with all their might. The Huns, who were so excited because they had chiseled through the Han army's formation, did not notice that a layer of hay had been laid on the originally green grassland.

This layer of hay did not attract the attention of the Huns, as it was not enough to stop the cavalry assault.

In the surging Hun array, Zuo Yingwang Zhiya could not hide the excitement in his expression, and said to Yu Yuluo beside him: "Da Dan Yu, our army broke through the Han army and successfully chiseled through, hahaha~~"

Youying Wang Nu'er begged also excitedly and said: "Next, you can divide, surround, and then annihilate the Han army, and the Great Huns will soon win the final victory, hahaha~~"

Zhiya Master said: "However, it is somewhat unexpected to be able to chisel through the Han army so easily. ”

Yu Fuluo said: "Although Zhang Huan is a great general, he made a fatal mistake!" If he didn't divide the second echelon into two armies, left and right, and retreated to the two wings of cavalry to line up for defense, this victory ~~ is still unpredictable, even if our army wins in the end, I am afraid it will be a miserable victory. But now he actually made this stupid move, divided the second echelon that had been recuperating for a long time into two, and retreated to the two flanks to line up, but gave our army the opportunity to easily chisel through~~"

The tooth master said: "Why did Zhang Huan do this? ”

Yu Fuluo said: "That's not simple, there must be an ambush in the Han army camp." This Zhang Huan, his appetite is really not ordinary, he wants to take advantage of our army's eagerness to chisel through the psychology, carefully designed such a trap, with the ambush in the large camp to block the assault of our cavalry, and then with the left and right wings of the second echelon infantry that has been recuperating for a long time to block our army's way to the left and right assault, and then with the 5,000 cavalry that has not moved to cut off our army's retreat, Zhang Huan~~ This is to swallow my Huns' 40,000 iron cavalry in one bite! ”

The tooth master lost his voice and said, "What, this is actually a trap? ”

"Don't worry!" Yu Fuluo said coldly, "Zhang Huan wants to swallow the 40,000 iron horsemen of the Great Huns in one bite, then the Han army has this good tooth!" All these perfect designs must be built on a foundation, that ~~ is the ambush in the battalion must block the assault of my 40,000 Hun iron cavalry! ”

Zhiya Master said: "Da Dan Yu, the last general understands that as long as the iron cavalry of the Great Huns breaks through the ambush in the Han army's camp, the Han army will definitely be defeated, right?" ”

……

The right flank of the Han army.

Zuo Sima said in a deep voice: "The Huns have so easily chiseled through our army's formation, Yu Fuluo must be very proud now!" ”

Zuo Sima sneered: "But it won't be long before the Huns will cry and call their mother!" ”

"General, it's time to launch an ambush!"

The left and right Sima stared at Zhang Huan at the same time.

Zhang Huan sighed softly in his heart, the Hun cavalry that suddenly fled from the battle has always been an unpredictable dangerous factor, but now that the decisive battle that determines the victory or defeat of the two armies has broken out, it is no longer possible to take care of this bizarre Hun cavalry, as long as the main Hun force of Yu Fuluo is annihilated in the shortest possible time! Even if this Hun army comes back, it will not be able to change the outcome of the war.

Zhang Huan finally relented, and said coldly: "Release the signal arrow~~ out of the ambush!" ”

"Yes!"

Zuo Sima agreed, pulled the bow and arrows, and some of his own soldiers stepped forward to ignite the strip of cloth soaked in fire oil wrapped around the arrows, and Zuo Sima's right hand was loosened, and at the sound of the bowstring, a rocket had swept into the air, drawing a dazzling trajectory in the air, and shot into the camp behind the Han army.

Suddenly, the closed camp gate of the Han army suddenly opened, the camp gate in front of it and the gate fell down suddenly, the strict barrier turned out to be a smooth road, and the Hun cavalry who were riding forward were surprised to find that behind the fallen camp gate actually gathered a group of black bison!

As far as the eye can see, the camp is full of bison, at least thousands!

What's even more surprising is that these bison actually have bundles of hay tied to their backs, and the air is filled with the smell of fire oil~~

"Set fire!"

The colonel gave an order, the ambush in the camp fired arrows in unison, hundreds of rockets suddenly gathered on the dry grass soaked in fire oil, and suddenly, the flames rose into the air and burned into a piece, driven by the blazing fire and the shouts of the soldiers, the frightened bison herd began to rush towards the front, and ran faster and faster~~

……

In the Huns.

The tooth master gasped, stared at the burning bison rushing in front of him in disbelief, and said in a mouthful of words: "This~~ What is this?" ”

Yu Fuluo's face turned pale in an instant, and he said in a voice: "Fire~~Fire Cow~~ Fire Bull Array!?" ”

The careful slave begged to hold the reins of Yu Fuluo's horse and reminded: "Da Dan Yu, let's hurry up and avoid going to the rear, you see that the ground here is full of hay, and once the fire ox rushes over, it will definitely burn~~ scared!" ”

The slave beggar could not speak any more after only half of his speech, and his face was already completely gray, because he was horrified to see that almost the entire battlefield had been covered with hay, and the 40,000 iron horsemen of the Great Huns had clearly stepped into the trap arranged by the Han people in advance! Damn Han people~~ It's really not ordinary cunning~~

"Da Dan Yu~~" The tooth master yelled in a hurry, "What now?" ”

……

"Boom!"

The surging Hun iron cavalry finally collided with the fire ox array, the neighing of horses and the screams of bison intertwined in an instant, and sparks splashed everywhere, igniting the hay covering the grassland, which was not ordinary hay, but "white grass!" ”

Smoke billowed from the battlefield, and flames raged.

Although the burning flames of the white grass were not enough to burn the Hun cavalry to death, the billowing smoke emitted was enough to plunge the Hun cavalry into fear, darkness and chaos, coupled with the frenzied collision of the burning fire ox, in front of this kind of power that cannot be resisted by manpower, the most fearless and heroic warriors will shudder~~

The frenzied fire bull violently passed through the gap in the middle of the Hun cavalry, constantly bringing the fire to the back, the flames and smoke were constantly extending and spreading to the Hun army~~ Coupled with the howling wind and wind on the grassland, the fire quickly spread and spread ~~

In less than a moment, the entire Hun formation was already thick smoke, countless Hun cavalry were choked by the smoke of the eyes red and swollen, coughing again and again, and then could not distinguish the direction, only know that the horses ran around, and there were constantly unlucky cavalry were squeezed to the ground, and then the raging horse hooves trampled into meat slurry~~

……

Witnessing the Huns falling into unprecedented chaos, Zhang Huan did not have the slightest smug look on his face, and his eyes were still the cold murderous intent, but the orders he gave were more shocking than one another, and each time more and more desperate for the Huns who were caught in the melee~~

"Herald~~ Left and right infantry troops line up in the Xuanxiang array!"

"Order~~ The cavalry on both wings detoured to the rear of the Huns and cut off their retreat!"

"Herald ~~ Longbowmen step forward, archers shoot infinitely~~"

Zhang Huan's orders were issued one by one, and the well-trained Han army quickly moved into action, gradually forming a huge encirclement, encircling the 40,000 Xiongnu army that was in chaos! More than 10,000 infantry for the left and right teams, lined up into a patchwork Xuanxiang array, a complete column of shield walls, and rows of hideous horse rejecting pistols made the Huns in chaos lose the courage to charge, they can only find another way to retreat~~

There is a monstrous fire ahead, and this road is impassable.

The only way to live~~ is the back road that the Han cavalry has not yet completely blocked!

Zhang Huan's use of soldiers, can be described as ruthless, 5,000 cavalry divided into two teams, can be stuck in the retreat of the Hun cavalry, but did not completely block the retreat, in the junction of the cavalry and infantry, and between the two teams of cavalry, there are gaps, it is these three gaps that want to capture the past, so that the lucky Huns suffered a catastrophe~~

"Instigation~~"

In the endless sound of breaking the air, rows of sharp wolf teeth and arrows poured like rain, the Hun cavalry fell down one by one, the miserable howls of the warriors and the mournful neighing of the war horses were intertwined, in such a dense chaotic army, once you fall off the horse, it means death~~

……

The Han army was in the right formation, and the right Sima was puzzled: "General, why don't you let the cavalry plug the gap?" ”

Zhang Huan didn't answer, but Zuo Sima replied: "If all the gaps are blocked, the Huns will see that there is no hope of escape, and they will be trapped and fighting, so that even if our army wins in the end, it will suffer heavy casualties!" If a few gaps are left, the Huns will be lucky, and they only want to rush through the gap to escape, and will not fight with our army, and ~~ The narrow gap can also exacerbate the chaos and self-trampling of the Hun army, and our army can avoid many unnecessary casualties! ”

"I see." Right Sima nodded again and again, "It seems that this time~~ the Huns are completely finished." ”

"Not necessarily!" Zhang Huan responded, his eyes left the hustle and bustle of the battlefield leisurely, stared at the vast horizon in the distance across the empty grassland, and said lightly, "Until the last moment, never jump to conclusions, many times, the victory or defeat is often only in an instant~~"

"Is the general talking about the 5,000 Hun cavalry who escaped from the battle?" Zuo Sima asked in a deep voice, "But even if the 5,000 Hun cavalry comes back, I'm afraid it won't change the outcome of the Battle of Hetao, didn't the general reserve a thousand cavalry?" These thousand cavalry are the most elite cavalry of our army, and it should be more than enough to entangle the five thousand Hun cavalry. ”

Zhang Huan's eyes were deep and silent, I hope ~~ things can be as Zuo Sima said, but the veteran's intuition is faintly reminding Zhang Huan that things ~~ may be far from being so simple.

"Report~~" Almost Zuo Sima's voice fell, a terrible long howl sounded from the wilderness in the north, Zhang Huan and the left and right Sima Huo Ran turned around, only to see a horse like the wind galloping from the grassland, people did not arrive, the sound came first, "General, twenty miles north found a large group of Hun cavalry~~"

"A large horde of Hun cavalry?" Zuo Sima Huo Ran's color changed, and he said in a deep voice, "When the horse probe found the enemy's tracks were twenty miles away, it will take time to report back, which means that the Hun cavalry is likely to be within ten miles now!" ”

"Ten miles? I'm afraid it's already here! Zhang Huan asked sharply, "How many rides?" ”

"About 10,000 riders!"

"What!?" The left and right Sima were taken aback at the same time, and said in a lost voice, "Isn't there only five thousand horsemen, why did you suddenly become ten thousand horsemen?" ”

"General, look at it~~ enemy cavalry!"

Suddenly, a pro-soldier screamed, Zhang Huan and the two Sima Huo Ran looked back, and saw that a gray line had appeared on the vast horizon in the north, and suddenly, the gray line bloomed, turning into countless war horses galloping with hooves, which were overwhelming and sweeping along the flat grassland~~

"So fast!" Zuo Sima said awe-inspiringly, "This Hun cavalry came so fast~~"

"Hahaha~~ That's it!" Zhang Huan looked up to the sky and laughed, and said sharply, "Zuo Sima listens to the order!" ”

Zuo Sima Ce immediately stepped forward and said sharply: "The last general." ”

Zhang Huan said: "Lead a thousand iron cavalry to meet the Hun reinforcements, and block the Hun reinforcements at all costs!" ”

Zuo Sima said: "Obey." ”

"Right Sima listens to orders."

"The end will be."

"Order~~ The whole army will assault and launch the final blow to the remnants of the Huns in the encirclement, and it will be determined to defeat the Hun army before the Hun reinforcements arrive~~"

"Yes!"

……

In the distance, in front of the galloping cavalry.

"Xu Chu!"

Ma Yue Huo Ran turned his head and stared at Xu Chu behind him like a wolf.

"The end will be."

Xu Chuhu roared, rode his horse forward, and caught up with Ma Yue, and the two horses were in parallel.

Ma Yue turned his head and pointed to the big flag with red on a white background and red in front of him, and said sharply: "Do you see that big flag?" ”

"See!"

"Good!" Ma Yue said sharply, "General Ben ordered you to lead the Iron Cavalry Battalion to assault and kill all the people under that big flag~~ and not let anyone escape!" ”

"The last general obeys!" Xu Chuhu roared, pulled the wolf tooth hammer in his hand forward, and howled sharply, "Brothers, come with so~~ kill!" ”

"Kill !!"

A thousand iron cavalry responded violently, separated from the surging cavalry army in an instant, and cut obliquely at the edge of the noisy battlefield in front of them, the big flag with red edges on a white background and the big flag with red edges on the wind, and on the flag of that big flag, there was a big embroidered "Zhang" character.

"Listen to the order suddenly!"

"The end will be."

"Lead two thousand wolf cavalry to lure those thousand Han cavalry away!"

"Yes."

Ju suddenly shouted, led two thousand Wuhuan wolf cavalry to separate from the cavalry army again, and went straight to the surging Han cavalry in front ~~

"The rest of the generals~~" Ma Yue raised the scimitar in his hand, led forward heavily, and said sharply, "Each rate headquarters ~~ Assault with this general~~"

……

In the distance, on a slightly raised small mound, Jia Xu was dressed in a Confucian shirt, standing solemnly in the wind under the protection of more than 100 personal soldiers, looking from the mound, just to see the entire Hetao battlefield at a glance~~

"Sir~~" A pro-soldier couldn't help but ask, "Do we really want to help the Huns kill the Han Chinese?" ”

"Kill the Han people? Are you talking about the Han army that is encircling and annihilating the Hun army in front? Jia Xu's eyes rolled, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he shook his head and said, "No~~ This Han army is a rare elite, and the lord will not kill them!" Moreover~~ they will soon become the lord's subordinates, why kill them? ”

"Huh~~ So you want to help the Han army kill the Huns?"

The pro-soldiers breathed a long sigh of relief, as long as they didn't help the Huns kill their own compatriots.

"Kill the Huns? Of course! Jia Xu turned his words and said coldly, "The Huns are naturally going to die, but in addition to the Huns, we also have to kill some Han people who are in the way~~"

……

Zhang Huan's main formation.

Right Sima said sharply: "What's the matter with Left Sima?" How did you let the Huns break through to this formation!? ”

Zhang Huan said awe-inspiringly: "This can't be blamed on Zuo Sima, this group of Huns~~ No, they are not Huns at all!" There are many Han people among them, as well as Wuhuan people~~ This is not an ordinary Hun cavalry, but a battle-hardened iron-blooded army, a real tiger and wolf army! ”

"What?" Right Sima was shocked, "Han people and Wuhuan people? This~~ What's going on? ”

Zhang Huan's eyes were deep and silent, and he also didn't understand what was going on? When the Han army and the Xiongnu army fought fiercely to the most fatal, how could such a tiger and wolf army suddenly appear? This is obviously an army dominated by the Han people, but what are they trying to do, is it to help the Huns kill their own compatriots?

"No matter!" Right Sima said sharply, "The last general will go to block this cavalry first, and the general will quickly dodge!" Ha~~"

The right Sima rode his horse to meet the cavalry galloping in front, and more than 100 personal soldiers followed behind the right Sima fearlessly, like a moth to a fire, fearlessly greeted ~~

"Death to those who stand in my way~~"

Xu Chu roared, the wolf tooth hammer in his hand swung out violently, and the black hammer drew a faint trace in the air, like a huge wave of the long river, with an incomparably tragic killing atmosphere, and smashed viciously at the head of the right Sima, the right Sima Huo Ran changed color, gritted his teeth and raised a knife to greet him~~

"Boom!"

In a violent and suffocating sound of gold and iron, Xu Chu never stopped, rode his horse and galloped past, and took Zhang Huan, who was not moving not far away~~ Under the banner of hunting and fluttering, the veteran's expression was cold~~

(To be continued)
