When Zhi was observing the Huns, Hu Yan was slaughtered, and he was also separated by more than 30 miles, looking at the Han army that was crossing the river. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"General Zuo!" Lan Minye, the leader of the Lan clan's ten thousand horses, roared urgently on the side and said, "Please give the order to attack!" Let the warriors screw off the heads of these Han Dynasty people! ”

Here, they didn't see the appearance of a 'divine horse' in the Han array.

This boosted the morale of the Huns!

To be reasonable, in fact, the Huns were very dissatisfied with the Battle of Mayi two years ago.

Within the Xiongnu, many people still feel that the battle of Mayi is not a crime of war.

The defeat of Yin Zhixian and the Zhelan tribe was purely at the hands of that divine horseman.

Without that divine horse, many Huns felt that even if Yin Zhixian's main force was surrounded in the battle of Mayi, they could still fight their way out of the encirclement.

Under such public opinion, many Huns felt that if the Han Dynasty people did not have a god horse, it would be like that.

reacted to this point, that is, as soon as these guys saw that the Han army crossing the river on the opposite side did not have a 'divine horse', they immediately wanted to ask for battle.

In their eyes, the Han army on the opposite side followed up like the meat in their mouths, as if they could bite as long as they opened their mouths.

However, Hu Yan Dangtu raised his hand, stopped the impulse of these guys, and scolded: "When to attack, this general has his own calculations!" ”

These guys were all honest all of a sudden.

The Xiongnu were nomadic peoples, and the military training of their tribal armies was tempered by hunting wild beasts in peacetime.

This is one of the reasons why the Huns attached great importance to forests and mountains.

The forests and mountains were not only a refuge for the women and the old and weak of their tribe, but also a training ground for the Xiongnu army.

And in the process of hunting, the Huns developed the habit of obeying orders.

Coupled with the 'chirp and march' system left behind by Mao Dunshan, the Huns may have been very perverse, irritable, and gossipy in normal times, but on the battlefield, they were very qualified soldiers and officers.

If the manager doesn't give the order, no one will call the shots.

Hu Yan Dangtu raised his eyes to look at the shadowy Han army crossing the river on the horizon in the distance, and he blew the sound of the hammer on his waist.

Then, a swarthy Hun nobleman, wearing a wolf skin coat, knelt down in front of Hu Yan Dangtu, kissed the ground, and said excitedly: "Qiu Lin Carving is hard to listen to!" ”

"Chulin Clan......" When many people heard this person's name, they immediately began to stumble in their hearts: "Hasn't the Chulin clan been monitoring those evil thieves in the North Sea? ”

The Chullians are one of Shan Yu's cronies today.

It is also a big clan that is now second only to the Su Yu clan and the four major clans in strength among the clans of the Xiongnu headquarters.

The ancestor of the Qiu Lin clan even once married Shan Yu of the Su Yu clan.

Legend has it that among the Yan clan of Mao Dun Da Dan Yu, there is a Yan clan from the Qiu Lin clan!

Among the various ethnic groups of the Xiongnu headquarters, the Qiulin clan has always been known for being warlike and hardy.

Otherwise, Shan Yu would not have sent them to Beihai to monitor the exiled tribes and courtiers of the exiled Youxian King.

"Qiu Lin carving is difficult, I will order you to lead the headquarters of 10,000 horsemen to test the Han people with the order of General Zuo!" Hu Yan Dangtu said: "Rush to kill a few rounds, but don't go too deep, and don't have too much entanglement with the Han people, once there is a crisis, withdraw immediately!" ”

"Yes!" Qiu Lin carving is difficult to bow down and bow.

Then, he got on his horse and headed for a forest on the southeast side.

In a short time, more than 4,000 horsemen came out from behind the mountain.

The deer head in the center is large, fluttering high.

For the past ten years, the Qiulin clan has been living in the icy and snowy land of the North Sea on the orders of Shan Yuting.

On the one hand, they want to keep an eye on the criminal ministers and nobles of the Right Sage King who were exiled to Beihai, and prevent them from walking back to the steppe and plotting against them.

On the other hand, they also need to grab pasture, livestock and food from the Dingling and Buyeo people, who also live in the North Sea.

In the long cold winter, the herdsmen of the Qiu Lin clan can only stay warm in the dome, holding their livestock.

This made the cavalry of the Chulin clan have a disgusting smell on their bodies.

And the cold winters and short summers in the North Sea also made the cavalry of the Chulin clan thickly hairy.

Long hair and beards are characteristic of their clan.

And the weapons they held were different from those of other Xiongnu tribes.

They abandoned the bronze knives and maces commonly used by the Huns in favor of bronze spears that were more accessible.

It is a melee spear about three feet long that can be used both to fight enemies and to throw.

In addition, the hard trees that grow in the primeval forests of the North Sea also add to the lethality of the hillywoods' war spears.

Of course, the most important thing is that the harsh life in the North Sea allowed these cavalrymen to practice good archery.

Although the Chuliners could not shoot their bows on horseback moving at high speeds, they could do so on horseback or at lower speeds to deal a certain blow to the enemy.

Hu Yan Dangtu watched the march of the Qiulin people and nodded with satisfaction.

This cavalry of the Chulin clan had just returned from the North Sea to spend the winter in Makunan a month ago.

It is also one of the strengths that Shan Yu strengthens for him.

"Come on!" Hu Yan Dangtu said in his heart: "Han Dynasty people, let me see your methods!" ”

The details of the Battle of Mayi, the Huns have never known.

Whether it is the remnants of the defeated soldiers who fled back or the nobles who have been ransomed with prisoners of war and gold, livestock, and furs in the past two years, their descriptions have almost no reference value for Huyan Dangtu.

These people, both insane and normal, focused on describing the 'divine horsemen' of the Han army.

It seems that the people of the Han Dynasty are the elite of the 40,000 main forces of the Huns defeated by divine horses!

However, this kind of nonsense is just to deceive children.

Want to deceive Huyan as a slaughterer?

That's not a door!

"The cavalry is powerful, and in the end, it will have to ......fight hand-to-hand with a white blade," Hu Yan Dangtu thought in his heart: "Only by charging or ramming, you can only achieve a certain effect, at most you can break up the enemy's array, but the final battle still has to be solved by fighting with bare arms!" ”

This is also the characteristic of today's Xiongnu warfare.

Bronze collars, meteor hammers, and bronze knives are all standard in hand-to-hand combat.

This is also a limitation of the times.

Without stirrup saddles, the Huns could not completely free their hands on horseback.

Without a horseshoe, the maneuverability and flexibility of a war horse were greatly limited.

Even, in such winters, the Hun cavalry in many places could only dismount and walk - for the simple reason that the mountain roads were too slippery.

For the cavalry, a road of more than 30 miles can be reached in only half an hour.

The Huns on the opposite side rushed towards them with great momentum.

Zhidu and Han Jun naturally found out at the first time.

After discovering the attack of the Hun cavalry, Zhidu ordered the troops to speed up the work of crossing the river on the one hand, and began to organize troops to resist on the other hand.

And the work of resistance, as soon as the river was crossed, was already being prepared.

After all, it's common sense to hit half-crossing.

It's just that the strength of the Han army crossing the river at the moment is only more than 5,000 people.

Of these, less than two thousand cavalry.

It's something that can't be helped.

Although this section of the river is wide, the thick ice stretches for four or five miles.

The Han army could cross the river with hundreds of horsemen at a time.

However, the speed of crossing the river is very slow.

Because the ice was too slippery, the Han army did not dare to go too fast.

Most of the cavalry could only dismount, lead their horses, and cross the river cautiously.

But the foot passed quickly.

These infantrymen, along the pontoon bridge and the ice, within a little more than an hour, more than 3,000 people reached the bank on the side of the river.

and immediately began to build a simple fortification.

The fortification was very simple, that is, along the bushes and a slightly undulating hill in the north of the riverbank, laying down obstacles such as rejecting horses, and at the same time establishing a crossbowmen's position on the back of a hill on one side of the riverbank.

More than a thousand crossbowmen lined up at the foot of the hill.

The two thousand Mo sword soldiers who had already crossed the river stood in front of the crossbowmen in heavy armor and holding Mo swords.

The cavalry of the Loyal Warriors and the six Sima of the Thorn Gate Army were scattered on both flanks of this array.

In the distance, the sound of horses' hooves was getting closer.

Now, the Hun cavalry is only about seven or eight miles away from the Han army's position.

At this distance, the soldiers of the Han army could even see the appearance of the Huns and the outline of the horses' hooves.

"This is a formidable enemy!" Zhidu looked at the Hun cavalry who were getting closer and closer, and he said to Han Zhen, the commander of the Modao Commander standing beside him: "Are you sure to repel them?" ”

For Modao, a class of troops that has not been tested in actual combat, Zhi Du is still a little worried.

But, now, the main force of the Han army has not yet crossed the river.

I can only hope that this strange sword soldier can play a miraculous effect.

Hearing this, Han Zhen raised her head and stroked the hair on her forehead, and said with a smile: "General, please look at the talent of my Modao husband!" ”

He raised his eyes slightly, looking at the Hun cavalry that was getting closer and closer, and would engage the Han army in a quarter of an hour at the latest.

This is indeed a good enemy.

Their array was tight and orderly, with just the right distance between their left and right comrades.

This shows that they have good riding skills and a good fit for each other.

But......

Han Zhen walked down the hill, put on his helmet, and ordered the military band in the Modao military formation: "Beat the drums!" Majestic for our army! ”

Since the Battle of Mayi, Hu Benwei and Yu Lin Wei have developed the habit of marching to the rhythm of the drums.

Accompanied by the beat of the drum, Han Zhen lowered the mask on her helmet and only exposed her eyes.

This kind of combat helmet of cuirassiers is improved from the special combat helmet of Mo sword soldiers, which is very popular with Mo sword generals.

A sturdy iron helmet is enough to keep a soldier's head safe, and a tall tassel tells the whole army that your commander is here.

"All Sima and team leaders obey orders: prepare for battle!" Han Zhen screamed and shouted.

His voice was so loud that it was almost like winter thunder.

This is probably the secret of the ancestors.

Back then, Han Zhen's grandfather Han Xiang was the one with the loudest voice under Gaozu, because of his bravery, he also served as the Shangjun county guard of the Han family, and then he was worshiped as a thorny hill for striking Xiang Yu in the Western Wei Dynasty.

However, because of his loud voice and short temper, the title of Marquis of Lie, which his ancestors had just obtained, flew away after only four years.

Fortunately, the old Han family has its own unique skills.

When Han Xiang started his business, he was the ancestor who defected with the lead of the shield team.

By the way, before defecting to Gaozu, Lao Han was a member of the Qin Empire.

also once followed Wang Ligan to Chen She.

Therefore, although the old Han family lost the marquis and title, they have been active in the Han family army by relying on the use and training of heavy armor and shield infantry.

However, with the development of the times, the heavy shield infantry and chariots were gradually eliminated.

Han also went downhill because of this.

Six years ago, when Jinzi began to set up Yulinwei and Hubenwei, Han Zhen immediately signed up.

Become one of the original 300 forest guards.

Subsequently, as Yu Linwei continued to expand, his status continued to improve.

Especially after the Son of Heaven decided to expand the three thousand Mo Sword Soldiers each in Yu Linwei and Hu Benwei, Han Zhen was appointed as one of the two Mo Sword Captains of Yu Lin Wei because of his thorough understanding of Mo Sword Soldiers.

When the Han army decided to launch the Gaoque Campaign, he was transferred to the command of Zhidu and became the captain of this army of more than 3,000 Mo sword soldiers.

Having come to this point, Han Zhen has already reached the status of her ancestor.

Although the Han family is large, there are only more than 100 generals at the level of Du Wei.

And the entire Yu Lin Wei and Hu Ben Wei add up to only six captains.

Han Zhen took a deep breath and looked at the enemy who was already four miles away in front of her.

He grabbed the Mo knife in his hand and shouted to the left and right: "Gentlemen, make meritorious contributions, just today!" ”

"Make a contribution, just today!" One by one, Sima and the team leader shouted and cheered the soldiers.

Han Zhen raised the Mo knife in his hand flat, the long blade of the knife extended forward, his hands tightly grasped the grip of the Mo knife, feeling the roughness coming from the hilt.

He said to his left and right: "Order: The whole army is deployed in a front-facing array!" ”

"Attack the array!" One officer after another roared.

The entire military formation of the Mo Sword Soldiers unfolded a moment later.

More than 2,000 Mo sword soldiers lined up in a relatively loose military formation, accompanied by the drumbeat of the Chinese army, one by one officers wore their badges and back flags correctly.

Then, with their soldiers, they marched slowly to the beat of the drums.

"Don't be nervous!" The commanders comforted the somewhat restless soldiers: "Just like the training, let's tear these Huns to pieces!" ”

But the soldiers were still nervous.

In the distance, the cavalry of the Huns had already rushed over at high speed.

They seem to think that this Han army with strange weapons is here to send them to death!

After all, before this, in the whole world, there had never been any infantry who dared to take the initiative to attack an attacking cavalry.

What's more, the number of this Han army is far less than its own.

The Huns were very experienced, and they knew how to make the most of their advantages.

As they began to approach the Han army, they collectively let out a strange cry of intimidation and threat from their mouths, and at the same time brandished the bronze spear in their hands, making all kinds of bluffs as much as possible.

In the Modao Army, many recruits became more uneasy because of this.

After all, thousands of horses are rolling in, and their momentum is like a torrent, like a glacier, like a tide.

It is difficult for a mortal not to be timid and afraid.

What's more, these recruits who haven't seen blood? (To be continued.) )
