Of course, the Huns also knew that if the Han army wanted to continue south, it had to cross the Chao River. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the Chaohe River is only a branch of the water, its flow is only about half of that of the Ba Shui.

However, the river is not so easy to live.

At least ten paces wide, the river is rough, and the water seems to be relatively shallow, but in fact it is at least twenty or thirty feet deep.

So, when the Han army arrived here, the Huns began to get closer.

The scouts even approached the two flanks of the Han army, which were only five or six hundred paces.

The Han soldiers could even see the large round faces under the felt hats of the Huns and the copper rings tied to their thick nostrils.

"Captain Guo Maodu's cavalry, where are you now?" Yi Zong asked a lieutenant beside him.

"Back to the monarch, three hours ago, Guo Duwei sent back a report that he had crossed the water and arrived at the north bank of the water!" The lieutenant replied.

"Good!" Hearing this, Yi Zong nodded excitedly.

He held up his clairvoyant mirror and surveyed the nearby terrain.

This place is a place that is not on the military map of the Han Dynasty.

In the past, it was deserted for hundreds of miles, except for a straight road that passed through this place, so a stone bridge was built over the Chaohe River, and half a figure could not be seen...... Oh, and maybe in the summer, woodcutters or hunters come here.

The reason for this situation is that, on the one hand, Yuyang is sparsely populated and the land is barren, and on the other hand, it is because of the geographical limitations of this place.

In the vicinity of this area, the main water, the tide water, and the wet water meet each other and form a large wet water, which rolls south and flows into the sea.

For millions of years, the area has been undeveloped and inaccessible, so during summer and autumn, during floods, rivers often flood large amounts of low-lying land, creating swamps and wetlands.

Swamps and wetlands are the daunting paths of farming peoples, just like deserts.

Don't say it's this cold and bitter place.

It is Wu Chu and other water pavilions in the south of the Yangtze River, a place of ointment, since the Western Zhou Dynasty, Huaisi Zhuji relay, Chu and Wu together, hundreds of years of blue wisps, hard work.

To this day, there are still many swamps in the land of Wu Chu, which are regarded as dangerous roads by the world.

Wu Chu is still like this, not to mention this Yuyang, Youbeiping, Liaodong and other places, the cold and bitter land in the north that has only entered China for a hundred years.

And such a place is the best battlefield right now.

"Command the whole army, the cavalry battle array, and the cuirass is ready to be armored!" When he arrived here, Yizong naturally planned to fight the Huns.

"No!" The lieutenants took orders one after another.

………………………………

"Uh......h Woo............ Woo......" The desolate trumpet sound immediately resounded through the heavens and the earth.

One by one, the heralds with the command flags on their backs rode away from the left and right of the righteous column, bypassing the crowded military formation, and passing on the orders one by one to the troops at all levels.

"The general has an order: cavalry column battle array!" The heralds, riding their horses, galloped in front of the military formations.

At the same time, the flags of the Chinese army waved, confirming the effectiveness of the order.

One by one, the Han army Sima and the team leader immediately began to carry out the military orders.

"All of them! Battle array ......" one after another officers with Guanzhong, Sanhe, and Yanzhao accents commanded loudly.

In less than two quarters of an hour, the light cavalry of the Han army was completely prepared for the battle array.

At this time, along the flat plain, the main force of the Han army, with the captain's department as a unit, lined up thirteen battle queues.

All the cavalry phalanxes, all in the shape of a cone, were closely connected, and between each procession, there was a separation of chariots and chariots.

In the middle army, huge shields were pushed to the front row, and spears stretched out, opening a huge protective shield, hiding the cuirassiers behind the array.

From a distance, the array of the Han army looked like a monster with a big mouth open.

The Huns, of course, immediately noticed the changes in the Han army.

Lan Zheye rode a horse and walked up a small hill, condescendingly, overlooking the formation of the Han army in the distance.

"The people of the Han Dynasty are going to fight us!" Just by taking a look, Lan Zhiye understood that the Han army was provoking and challenging.

He glanced at the Subu Dangtu and Ji Yan beside him and asked, "The Su Bu clan, the Ji Yan clan, do you have the courage to face the battle?" ”

In the face of Lan Zheye's naked provocation and contempt, it was difficult for him to hold back the anger in his heart and said, "Big boss, let's wait for reinforcements...... After the arrival of King Xia's army, how about our army going to war again? ”

Subu Dangtu also said: "I think the Marquis of the Gang Bone is right, there is no need to fight the Han army here......

"Besides......" Subu Dangtu pointed to the Han army array in the distance and said, "Don't the big pawns think that this formation of the Han Dynasty people is very strange?" ”

Looking at the past from the perspective of Subdangtu, on the distant plain, the array of the Han army spread out one after another, forming a cavalry queue that the Huns had never seen before.

This queue can no longer be described as a queue.

It should be called a battle column, which is more appropriate.

Because, this formation is like an array that is born to attack the enemy.

Even if Xu Budangtu had never read and was purely illiterate, he could see that the array of the Han army was divided into three layers.

Each layer takes over from each other.

Once a rash war was waged against it, the Hun cavalry would be attacked by the continuous cavalry of the Han army.

Although the other characteristics are not visible for the time being, this alone is enough to make Bu Dangtu fearful.

He had heard of the Battle of Heyin, how was Huyan Dangtu defeated?

During the Battle of Heyin, even though Huyan Dangtu's troops were two or three times that of the Han Dynasty's army, he was still defeated, and even lost two thousand horsemen!

Now, here, the Han Dynasty has spread out its battle formation on the wide plains.

And the Han Dynasty had more troops than itself.

Even if the cavalry is open, I am afraid it will not be their opponent.

Not to mention......

Subu Dangtu knew his own problems.

He forced down the cavalry, bullied the soft-footed crabs in the Western Regions, and whipped the unarmed herdsmen, and he was naturally very good.

But if you want these old men to go to the battlefield and charge into battle, to fight with the Han Dynasty.

I'm afraid that even the horse will be unstable.

Who called the cavalrymen who had always served the shamans and the nobles of the royal court?

As for the crow ride that is difficult?

Although there may still be a little bit of combat effectiveness.

But the problem is that half of the crows, especially the backbone half, have returned to the grassland.

In fact, the cavalry of the Xiongnu headquarters here now adds up to less than 12,000.

Not as much as the Battle of Heyin, Hu Yandang slaughtered one-third of his troops.

However, the strength of the Han army far exceeded the situation during the Battle of Heyin.

Moreover, all of them are cavalry!

Han cavalry is less than 10,000, full of 10,000 invincible!

And the cavalry of the Han army in front of him, let alone 20,000!

The main force of the royal court did not come, so it relied on a Xu army, how to fight?

Xu Budangtu felt that even if he filled himself in, he was afraid that he would not be able to help the Han Dynasty! (To be continued.) )
