Section 1083 Retreat

Zhidu stood on a chariot and stared at the battlefield. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Mo sword soldiers in the front row have been entangled with the Huns' cavalry.

The cavalry of the Thornmen Army and the Bashang Army, which came to the rescue, were exhausted and badly wounded.

However, as cavalry, they can still watch the enemy in front of them to the death, so that they do not dare to try to leave the battlefield easily.

Not to mention, the Huns in front of them can't even talk about the end of the crossbow.

The battle has been fought to this point.

The organization and structure of this Xiongnu Wanqi have been completely destroyed.

Even their Daxu has become the trophy of Zhidu.

The rest are just some desperate people who have been cornered and are fighting the trapped beasts!

In fact, at the moment when the Thornmen Army and the Bashang Army came back to help, this Hun Wanqi was already doomed!

The reason why there are still two or three thousand remnants of the defeated generals is just to attract the Hun reinforcements who went around the back of the Han army to jump into this fire pit!

"Come on! Come on......" Zhi Du muttered in his mouth, looking at the cavalry that was fighting the Huyan clan of the Huns.

There are quite a lot of people, and there should be more than 7,000 riders by sight!

It seems that it should be a strengthened 10,000 horse!

Combined with the remnants of the previous Subu clan, this cavalry has a combat strength of at least 9,000 men.

Such a cavalry, if you are determined to leave.

Even if Zhidu has three heads and six arms, he can't stop it!

Don't even dare to stop it!

The Han army has fought until now, and it has also paid a heavy price!

The cavalry of the Thorn Gate Army and the Bashang Army were almost disabled!

In particular, the battle losses of the Bashang Army were close to sixty percent, and only a dozen officers below the rank of cavalry lieutenant were intact.

The Thornmen Army was relatively better, but the battle losses were more than forty percent.

The rest of the cavalry was also wounded.

As for the infantry, before the war, the Han army's 3,000 Mo sword soldiers, until now, less than 2,000 are still alive.

There are only about a thousand people who can still wield the Mo knife.

The reason why there are still more than 2,000 Mo Dao Formation.

That's why the crossbowmen are on top!

The technical content of the Mo knife is not very high.

Although the crossbowmen may not be as strong as the Modao Army in terms of coordination and battle.

But this battle has been fought so far, and there is no need for any arrays.

The entangled Hun cavalry was even fighting only with bravery and hope for reinforcements.

They no longer collided with the Han army's array, but confronted the Han army from a distance.

But he didn't dare to run.

Because the Han cavalry was staring at them on both wings.

What's more: their men and war horses are almost no longer strong.

If you want to run, you can't run a few steps.

They can only hope for reinforcements now.

And Zhidu is also waiting for reinforcements from the Huns...... Die!

Therefore, he ordered the troops, temporarily stopped the offensive, began to gather the soldiers, restore the formation and organization, and at the same time seize the time to collect the seriously wounded.

It's just that......

"Will the Huns come to the rescue?" Zhi thought in his heart.

The facts soon told him: the Huns would definitely come to the rescue!

The Hun cavalry, which had just joined the battlefield, soon sent a vanguard force, about 1,000 horsemen, to the flank of the Han army's large array, observed the situation for a while, and then they reined in their horses and waited in place, as if they had sent cavalry to contact the main force behind.

Zhidu then knew that the real fierce war was coming.

To be reasonable, he can actually lead the army now, abandon the entangled remnants of the Hun cavalry, and move in the direction of the camp.

After all, the reinforcements of the Huns, at least seven thousand people, were a fresh force.

Both mentally and physically, they were in better condition than the Han army after the hard battle.

If you reluctantly fight with them, I am afraid that with the tired army under the command of Zhidu now, it will be difficult to get any advantage under them.

You must know that since the start of the war, the Han army has not only broken its cavalry, but also nearly two-thirds of the Modao army has been killed and wounded.

Even the crossbowmen suffered huge losses.

Any general who has a little sense will choose to accept it when he sees it.

Anyway, the reinforcements of the Han army have arrived.

The Huns probably didn't have anything to do with the Han army, they would only think about how to retreat safely and then make plans.

If you are forced to fight against this new force of the Huns, let alone whether you can defeat the other party, even if you can win.

Of the Han troops present, I am afraid that few of them will be able to return to the Great Wall alive.

But......

Zhi is not an ordinary person.

This battle with the Xiongnu has been fought until now, and Zhidu has figured out the reality of the Huns.

These cavalry on the steppe, although in terms of physical fitness and weaponry, were an era behind the Han army.

But......

They are experienced, excellent in technique and tactics, and almost every cavalryman is a skilled professional killer.

They are crazy, cold-blooded, and not afraid of death!

The fault is that the advantage of equipment and physical fitness of the Han army is too great.

In this battle, it's really hard to say who will kill the deer.

It is precisely because of this that Zhi Du is reluctant to let them go.

The reason is simple.

The Han family used the strength of the whole country and the foundation of tens of millions of people to create the five main forces and elites such as Yulinwei and Hubenwei.

The Xiongnu, the population is not as good as the Han family, the level of technology and civilization, and they are not even qualified to shine the shoes of the Han family!

How many of them can there be like this?

Zhi Du thinks that there are no more than ten at most!

Moreover, such an elite Wanqi must have been cultivated a long time ago.

Every cavalryman has experienced at least three or more battles and spent at least five or even ten years to cultivate.

In other words, just leave these three thousand horsemen.

Then the Han family can kill more than thirty percent of the elite of the Huns at one time!

Moreover, they are all young people, young people of the headquarters!

As soon as these people died, within twenty years, it would be impossible for the Huns to cultivate such an elite 30,000 horsemen!

From a strategic point of view, even if all the troops under Zhidu are dead, even if Zhidu himself is dead, as long as these three ten thousand horsemen can be replaced.

That Han family is pure earning!

Although it is very cruel and cold-blooded, in the eyes of the Legalists, it is a very worthwhile exchange.

What's more, now, the exchange ratio between the Han army and the Huns is extremely staggering at least five for one.

The life of five Huns can be exchanged for the life of a Han soldier!

From a purely strategic point of view, such an exchange ratio was completely within the acceptable range for the Han family.

Zhidu looked at the Hun cavalry who were watching from afar, he waved his hand and gave an order: "Order, launch a general attack, and destroy the enemy in front of you!" ”

And so, the drums of war sounded again.

The Han army's Modao army formation slowly advanced, and under the cover of the cavalry, pressed towards the slaughtering cavalry, which was already dilapidated and completely devoid of organization and discipline.

…………………………………………

After the Han army attacked again.

When the cavalry of the Tu clan looked at the Han army formation that was slowly pressing.

Although the slaughtering cavalry still looks like there are about two or three thousand horsemen.

However, this ten thousand horsemen, the elite of the Huns, has actually completely lost its combat effectiveness.

Among the two or three thousand people, only a thousand can still stand up.

Among the rest, there is either a missing part on the body, or a seriously wounded person who is already lying on the ground, dying.

Even among those who can stand, there are countless people with disabilities.

This is thanks to the terrifying lethality of the Mo Knife.

With a knife, as long as the person can't dodge in time, it will immediately be a broken corpse.

Even if that person is very responsive, as long as they touch each other, they will immediately take away a part of his body.

As a cavalry member of the Tu clan, he once thought of countless ways.

Let people hit head-on, attracting the idea of the Han army, and the two rangers suddenly collided from the flanks.

Or take advantage of the Han army's Mo knife to advance, and rush in at any cost.

But no matter what a terrible price to pay, no matter how you use it.

There is only one fate for these people: they are either cut to pieces by the Mo knife, or they are chopped into meat by the crossbowmen of the Han army with swords!

What's even more terrifying is that the Mo sword soldiers of the Han army are not only defending, they are also attacking!

Rows of soldiers holding Mo's swords high fearlessly walked towards the Hun cavalry.

The Hun cavalry was not given any respite at all.

This battle has been fought until now, and the remnants of the slaughtering cavalry have been broken down and numb.

They no longer dared to raise their swords against each other.

Seeing the Han army attacking again, some people even turned their horses' heads and wanted to run.

But, where did they run away?

The previous brutal and fierce battle had exhausted countless war horses.

Even the riders themselves have many who don't even have the strength to pull the reins.

This is not only physical exhaustion and powerlessness, but also spiritual exhaustion and despair, which is even more terrifying!

Therefore, after the Han army attacked, many Hun cavalry dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground.

Others have fled the battlefield.

But they didn't go far before they were caught up and killed by the cavalry of the Han army.

These unorganized, undisciplined, courageless, and even resistless cavalry did not cause any trouble to the Han army at all.

………………………………

Zhidu kept watching the move of the Hun reinforcements in the distance.

He knew that the remnants of the force on the other side were no longer to be feared.

Now, the real enemy of the Han army is the Hun cavalry that is surrounding.

Zhidu had been waiting, waiting for the Hun cavalry on the opposite side to rush over.

He even put almost all the Mo sword soldiers on guard against these Huns, and only sent those crossbow soldiers with Mo knives to complete the final clean-up work.

"Come on, come on...... Zhi Du called in his heart.

As long as they are eliminated, or even just defeated, this Xiongnu reinforcement.

Then, his mission with his detachment was accomplished.

Attract the main force of the Huns in the front, and at the same time severely damage and annihilate the three most elite cavalry of the Huns.

For Zhidu and his army, they completely exceeded the pre-war task.

"As long as these three ten thousand horsemen are severely damaged here, or even eliminated, then ......" Zhidu's heart couldn't help but thump.

According to the military intelligence report just received from the carrier pigeon.

The general of the chariot cavalry, Yi Zong, commanded the main force of the Han army, and in accordance with the requirements of Zhidu last time, he turned around in Jiuyuan and marched towards Yiliang.

On another battlefield, another partial division of Cheng Buzhi's commander also crossed the Nanhe River the day before yesterday and approached Honghu Sai on the south bank of the Beihe River.

In this way, a huge encirclement network has been formed.

As long as Cheng Buzhi occupies Honghu Sai, he can cut off the connection between Gaoque and Heyin.

And as long as the main force of Yizong can occupy Yiliang tomorrow.

Then, the enemy of Heyin will face a desperate situation where the back road will be cut off and the grain and grass will be cut off!

At that time, the Huns in the encirclement will be round or flat, but it will be up to the Han army to decide!

Even, maybe you can occupy Gaoque without bloodshed.

No matter how strong Gaoque City is, no one will defend it, what is the difference between it and a small hill?

Perhaps, even Yinshan is the same!

Pity......

The Hun cavalry in the distance seemed to hesitate.

After watching from a distance for a while, they actually reined in their horses, turned around and retreated!

This made Zhi Du look at it, a little angry, but helpless!

After all, the Hun cavalry is leaving, unless he now has a cavalry of 20,000 horsemen in his hand, otherwise he can only stare dryly!

Even, even if there are 20,000 cavalry, it is estimated that it will be difficult to keep them.

No one can pat their chests and guarantee that they can leave behind a cavalry that has made up their minds to leave in this open grassland.

…………………………

Brother Zhe took his own subordinates, turned the horse's head, and didn't even want to look at the Dangtu clan that was already hopeless.

Someone was puzzled and asked, "My lord! Why don't you save the Dangtu clan? Aren't you afraid of General Zuo's condemnation? ”

When the Tu clan is the clan of General Zuo, it is the team he pulled up, and it is also one of his roots.

When the Tu clan was completely annihilated by the Han Dynasty, General Zuo would definitely be furious!

Even, it is hard to guarantee that no one will say that his brother Zhe is 'ill-intentioned'.

Brother Zhe smiled slightly: "General Zuo will understand my hardship!" When the Tu clan is already hopeless! ”

"Even if I rescue them, I won't be able to bring them back!"

In today's battlefield situation, Brother Zhe knows very well that the more than 2,000 oil bottles with the Subu clan have seriously slowed down his speed.

If you go to save the Dangtu clan again, not to mention whether you can save it or not, even if you are rescued, you will definitely reduce your speed to the minimum!

That is equivalent to telling the reinforcements of the Han Dynasty: Come and fight me!

A cavalry that has lost its speed has to be distracted to protect a group of defeated remnants who have lost their spirit and even know how to cry out in pain.

This is death!

Not to mention......

Brother Zhe looked at the Han army camp in the distance.

In the rows of tents, the figures that haunted him felt a little dangerous.

Those people were the Han Dynasty's people's husbands, logistics soldiers, and grain and grass escort officials.

There are three or four thousand!

Brother Zhe was different from other nobles in Shan Yuting, his father and his grandfather had followed Mao Dun Shan Yu and Lao Shang Shan Yu to invade the Han Realm.

Therefore, he knew very well that the people and miscellaneous servants of the Han Dynasty could also take weapons at any time and go into battle to kill the enemy!

Even, in some cases, these guys were even more difficult than the regular army of the Han Dynasty.

Especially in the current situation, those guys who have only military merit in their eyes, most likely, will drag him and his cavalry, completely.

Random punches can also kill the master!

What's more, among these Han Dynasty people and miscellaneous servants, there are many strongmen in the Han Dynasty!

After seeing the battlefield of the Xubu clan and observing the besieged Dangtu clan, Brother Zhe already understood that the Huns had no chance of winning this battle.

Now that the reinforcements of the Han Dynasty may arrive on the battlefield at any time, what he has to do is not to gamble with his life like a gambler, but to minimize the losses of the Xiongnu!

Of course, this is also because Brother Zhe's identity is very special, so he dares to do this.

Because, he is the contemporary clan of the Huyan clan, the future clan patriarch, and the younger brother of the left general Huyan Dangtu.

If you change to someone else, you will definitely not dare to do this! (To be continued.) )
