It stands to reason that when the war has reached this point, it should be accepted as soon as it is good, immediately switch between attack and defense, and withdraw troops to be prepared. After all, although the people of Qi have lost a lot in these three days, their vital strength is still far superior to Li Zheng.

In particular, the small tribes of the Qianren that have been conquered in the past three days are only peripheral forces in the marginal areas. The real elite of the people is still in Baishuichuan.

But Li Zheng doesn't think so.

Although in terms of numbers, Li Zheng is far from being able to compare with the Qianren. But in terms of equipment and mounts, the cavalry under Li Zheng's command can throw off a few streets of the cavalry!

Cavalry warfare is already carried out in motion, and whoever has strong mobility and excellent equipment will be in an advantageous position.

The most important thing is that Li Zheng decided early on that he would completely take down the Xiongnu. Now that the battle is halfway through, if the troops are withdrawn because they are detected, then how will Li Zheng live in the future? !

The people will not give up, and they will attack and harass all the time, and they will definitely not be able to prevent it! As a close neighbor, the Qiang tribe is the most direct threat to the pasture!

Sending the Buddha to the west, to this point, there is absolutely no reason to retreat.

One word, type!

At that moment, Li Zheng sent a message to Zhao Wu with Lan Xiangniao, asking him to urge the 500 foot soldiers who escorted the captives back to come as soon as possible, and then sent a message to the white wolf and Zhang Shan again, asking them not to engage the Qiang people first, and to harass them for the time being, hang the Qiang army, and deal with them

The north wind was howling and the sky was overcast. There was some light sunlight the day before, but now I can't see it at all.

"Lord, this is a sign that it is going to snow."

A Qingjia warrior said to Li Zheng: "The snow on the grassland is very terrifying, and every time there is heavy snow in winter, it can be knee-high and more can bury livestock. For the steppe Hu people, it was a disaster. ”

Li Zheng looked up at the sky, gloomy and gloomy, giving people a huge sense of depression, as if his breathing was not smooth.

"If it really snows heavily, it will not be good for the war" After a moment of silence, Li Zheng said: "The war must be ended before the heavy snow covers the grassland!" ”

Although the soldiers under Li Zheng's command are not afraid of the cold. However, if it is true that as the Qingjia warriors said before, the snow is knee-high or can bury livestock, it will be a great obstacle to the march and battle.

Just as Li Zheng was thinking about how to end the war as best he could, the sound of horses' hooves hitting the ground came to his ears from far and near.

Li Zheng looked up and saw that it was two blue-armored war horses.

Li Zheng's line, except for the thirty green armor war horses, the rest are all foot soldiers. Therefore, the scouts were served by the Qingjia war cavalry, and two horses were scattered in the south, south, west, and northwest.

These two horsemen are coming from the east, and seeing that the speed is very fast, there must be something urgent.

Li Zheng's eyes couldn't help narrowing slightly.

"Report!"

From afar, there was a shout: "Tell the Lord, there are three thousand elite horsemen coming in this direction from the east!" ”

"Three thousand!"

Li Zheng's heart shook, and immediately sank.

"Where did these three thousand elite riders come from?!" Li Zheng couldn't help but secretly tighten in his heart, but said in his mouth: "Quick, follow me to the grassy slope in front of me, and wait in formation!" ”

Except for the current twenty-four blue-armored war horses, the remaining five hundred soldiers are all foot soldiers. If it is cavalry, it can also withdraw immediately, or use great mobility to deal with the enemy. But the foot soldiers can't do it, no matter how elite the foot soldiers are, they can't outrun the cavalry!

The only thing you can do now is to choose a favorable terrain and be ready for it!

The grassy slope not far ahead is the best choice at the moment.

Being condescending can counteract the strength of the enemy's cavalry charge and increase the difficulty of the enemy's cavalry shooting. In this way, with the elite equipment of his soldiers, Li Zheng is not afraid of these 3,000 cavalry!

But after two breaths, Li Zheng's heart made a decision.

When the foot soldiers under his command heard the order, they naturally did not dare to delay, and they trotted together and rode up the grassy slope with the Qingjia battle.

Under the command of Li Zheng, the heavy armor spearmen were outside, and the light archers were inside, forming a circle formation. If the enemy cavalry comes to attack, use the heavy armor spearmen as the main shield outside, and the light archers will release arrows inside to attack!

The good discipline training in ordinary times allowed the soldiers under Li Zheng to quickly line up under the command of the squad leaders. At this time, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves in the distance finally reached my ears.

Li Zheng rode Qingyun, holding the blood dragon spear in his hand, and raised his eyes to look.

But I saw that gloomy sky, a black line of black pressure, like a flood beast, surging forward.

There was a big flag with a wolf's head embroidered on it, but Li Zheng didn't know the Hun script on the wolf's head.

On the side, there was a Qingjia warrior who knew the Hun script and hurriedly explained: "Lord, that is the banner of the bone capital!" ”

"Bone waiting?!"

Li Zheng frowned.

"Guduhou is an important official position of the Huns, and his status is only below the left and right virtuous kings, and he is not equal to the other kings!"

"Hiss"

When Li Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but take a slight breath: "Since this bone has such a status, how could he come here at this time?" ”

"It shouldn't be the bones themselves, maybe it's the envoy or something. Otherwise, he would not have brought only 3,000 soldiers and horses. ”

Hearing this, Li Zheng bowed slightly.

Looking at the rapidly approaching Guduhou army, Li Zheng's mind suddenly flashed with a flash of inspiration.

"It must be so!"

Li Zheng shook his fist fiercely and said with annoyance: "I thought of this earlier, but I ignored it before sending out the troops, it's really damned!" ”

When Li Zheng learned from Xun You that the Son of Heaven ordered the Huns to send troops to quell the rebellion, he searched out some vague memories from his memory.

It seems that during this time, there will be civil strife among the Huns.

Because of this, he decided to attack the Huns. I just want to take advantage of the time when the Huns have no time to take care of him, and bite off a piece of fat!

But before sending troops, he ignored the situation.

The internal strife of the Huns was naturally the result of internal factions falling against each other. So the Xiongnu will not fall as a subsidiary tribe of the Huns, this is not a small force, no matter which faction of the Huns, will definitely not ignore it!

Then there is an explanation for the current situation!

These 3,000 soldiers and horses belonging to the Guduhou must be preparing to go to Baishuichuan to recruit the troops of the affiliated tribes, or as envoys, saying that the Huns should not fall and take refuge in this Guduhou!

Seeing that these 3,000 soldiers and horses are menacing, they must have met those Qianren tribes that were broken by Li Zheng and turned into ruins on the way.

Therefore, they followed the traces of Li Zheng and others and caught up all the way!

At this moment when Li Zheng was thinking about it, the three thousand Hun elite soldiers arrived at the bottom of the grassy slope.

The leader of these 3,000 men and horses was a young Huns. The man appeared to be in his early twenties, with a delicate sheepskin hat on his head, a rich leather jacket, and a golden dagger pinned to his waist.

This man's face is quite delicate, but his body is extremely strong, and the neckline of his leather jacket is exposed, and he doesn't seem to be cold at all when the north wind blows on his chest.

"This is the army of the Han people!"

This richly dressed Xiongnu young man stared at the army on the grassy slope with a pair of eyes like wolves, and said, "Why did the Han army go to the grassland?!" And killed a lot of other subordinates?! ”

"Maybe someone else provoked them." There was a middle-aged man in Hanfu on the side, looking at that appearance, there was no doubt that he was Han.

Just listen to this middle-aged Han man: "Isn't this a good thing for Your Highness?" ”

"Oh?"

The young man was stunned when he heard this, and said, "How can you say this?" ”

"The purpose of Your Highness's visit to Beluo this time is to conquer Beluo and make them loyal to Shan Yu. And the current Han army is the best meeting gift! If this Han army is exterminated, presumably Don't fall and be willingly loyal to Shan Yu! ”

"Haha, that's good!"

Hearing this, the young man laughed and said, "If you can make Beiluo willing, Father Khan will definitely be happy!" ”

"Exactly." The middle-aged Han man said with a smile: "Shan Yu will definitely appreciate His Highness more, and after Shan Yu ascends the throne, he will definitely crown His Highness as King Zuoxian!" ”

When the young man heard this, he couldn't help but dance with his hands and was very excited. Looking at Li Zheng's army on the grassy slope, a greedy light appeared in his eyes

Li Zheng looked at the Hun army outside the grass slope, and his brows furrowed deeply.

Although this army is only 3,000 people, everyone is well-armed, well-equipped, and the horses are also one of the best in a hundred.

It's not easy to fight!

Li Zheng took a breath, and suddenly, the Hun spirit rider under the grassy slope moved.

"All in place! Get ready! ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw that the three thousand Huns had divided into two thousand horses, and galloped up against the grassy hills. Immediately, a long buzzing sound was heard, and a rain of arrows fell down on the grassy hills!

"Keep your head down! Defend against arrows! ”

More than 500 people lowered their heads in unison and covered their faces. Then, I heard a crackling sound, like rain hitting plantains, dense arrows, and fell headfirst in Li Zheng's military formation!

As the arrows fell, a few cries of pain came, the spear in Li Zheng's hand danced like a wheel, and the arrows that flew away, and when he looked sideways, he found that several soldiers were lost and shot at the gaps in the armor and were injured!

"Don't mess around, pay attention to protect yourself!"

Officers at all levels shouted, allowing the soldiers to gradually calm down.

However, the rain of arrows of the Huns, after this wave, did not stop for a moment! The two thousand elite horsemen galloped around the grassy hills, shouting and screaming for money, and sprinkled endless arrows and arrows!

For a while, Li Zheng couldn't raise his head!
