Chapter 330: The Battle of Mobei (4)

"Chu Zimou has swept away three thousand Huns!"

When Cao Cao and Yuan Shao arrived at the Xiongnu camp, the corpses were strewn all over the field, a mess, and black smoke was emitting from the charred wood. Cao Cao can infer the number of Hun cavalry that was attacked by Chutian not long ago by the number of Hun cavalry killed in battle.

Chu Tian simply cleaned the battlefield, took away the war horse and some weapons, and did not bury the corpse.

The desert is desolate, almost uninhabited, and even if the bodies are not buried, there will be no outbreak of plague. Vultures and beasts will remove these carcasses.

"Being preempted by Chu Zimou, he must have won a lot of feats this time. But how did he know that there were Huns here? ”

Cao Cao threw himself into the air, this time Chutian ate meat, and he couldn't even drink the soup.

Yuan Shao's face was gloomy, the alien Chu Zimou had already killed nearly three thousand Huns, but he had not obtained any military merits, which was a serious injury to his self-esteem.

"Our lord has said that there are still tens of thousands of Xiongnu main forces in the north. The Hun cavalry killed here is only the rear army of the main force of the Huns! ”

Chu Tian deliberately left the Iron Eagle Scout cavalry behind, and informed Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Li Guang, Zhao Shiqi and other teammates to follow.

Cao Cao had realized that Chu Tian had special means to know the whereabouts of the Xiongnu, and at this time Chu Tian faintly became the main general of this road. He took the initiative to attack, cutting first and then playing, and the legions in the rear became reinforcements and had to cooperate with Chutian to fight.

Before Cao Cao and Yuan Shao could react, Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi heard that the main force of the Xiongnu was in front, and immediately lifted their spirits, and under the leadership of the Iron Eagle Scout Cavalry, they marched north.

With the wisdom of Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi, they were easily mobilized by Chutian and became loyal allies.

Regardless of Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi's true command ability, with the help of 20,000 elite Han cavalry, Chutian could retreat even if he was surrounded.

"Ah Pu, Chu Zimou obviously wants to be the coach and treats us as pawns, do we want to be driven by it?"

Yuan Shao was dissatisfied with being in a passive situation.

"It's better to defeat the Huns first. Wen Yuan, Miaocai, let's go to hunt down the main force of the Huns! ”

Cao Cao took Zhang Liao and Xiahou Yuan to kill the enemy, and Yuan Shao, who was left, had to go north together, otherwise Yuan Shao would have come to Mobei in vain.

The Xiongnu Youxian King drove more than 100,000 livestock as rations, and he was on his way to Mobei in an attempt to join the Xiongnu Shan Yu.

However, the danger is gradually approaching.

"The cavalry in the rear has been wiped out, and the main force of the Han army is rapidly moving north!"

The Hun light cavalry who fled back met the Xiongnu Youxian King and informed the Youxian King of the news that the Han army had pursued him, and the Youxian King was terrified.

More than 2,000 of the 3,000 Hun cavalry were killed!

"Is it really Wei Qing on the other side?"

King Youxian recalled the horror of being dominated by Wei Qing a few years ago, and couldn't help but tremble when he thought that there were Han cavalry chasing him.

A big Hun man asked, "How many people are there on the other side?" ”

"I don't know."

"Fool, go find out now!"

"Obey ......"

The Hun scouts were quickly dispatched, and they engaged the Iron Eagle scouts who followed after them, and before the two armies could fight, the scouts were tug-of-war on the Gobi.

"The main force of the Huns is less than thirty miles away from us!"

Chu Tian pursued overnight and finally captured the main force of the Xiongnu Right Xian King.

Considering that the cavalry fought and attacked overnight and ran out of physical strength, Chu Tianbu sent scouts and always followed the Xiongnu Right Xian King, and then the main force temporarily rested, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements and then looking for an opportunity to fight with the Right Xian King.

The Xiongnu did not come and go like the wind, and the large number of livestock they carried seriously affected their ability to march, but it was more convenient than the Han army's baggage carts.

When Chutian decided to plunder the Xiongnu's livestock to get supplies, the Xiongnu's mobility advantage was lost and they were in a passive position.

The appearance of the Han cavalry caused tens of thousands of Huns to panic, and the right Xian Wang was reluctant to give up more than 100,000 livestock, and continued to drive the livestock to march, and at the same time he commanded 20,000 Hun cavalry with two big households, blocking the Han cavalry.

As long as the Xiongnu who fled to Mobei was in this formation, he could escape.

"The other party only has 10,000 cavalry, and the king does not have to flee far if the enemy advances!"

Just as King Youxian was about to die, the Hun scout cavalry sent information about the Chutian army.

"Only 10,000 cavalry?"

King Youxian, who had already planned to flee for his life on all the best war horses, heard that Chu Tian was advancing lightly and there were only 10,000 cavalry, so he hesitated to eat this Han cavalry to avenge the deep hatred of the Battle of Monan.

In the battle of Monan, he was defeated by Wei Qing and fled, and his status plummeted.

"I have 60,000 cavalry, can I be defeated by 10,000 cavalry? Don't miss the opportunity, the time will not come again, immediately send troops to destroy this Han army! ”

The Right Virtuous King gritted his teeth, and only by defeating the cavalry that came after him could he regain his authority.

He ordered two 10,000-strong cavalry to make a detour left and right, and the two big leaders behind the palace flanked the Chutian army.

And the Right Xian King personally pressed the formation and supported him at any time.

"The Hun cavalry launched a counterattack!"

Chu Tian closed his eyes for a period of time and basically recovered his strength: "It seems that the Huns have finally understood, we only have 10,000 cavalry. Retreat, lead the Xiongnu to the rear, and wait for Li Guang and Cao Cao to arrive, the Xiongnu will be defeated. But the retreat must not be too obvious. ”

Under the order of Chutian, the Han cavalry fought and retreated, giving the Xiongnu a chance to surround the Han cavalry.

The Hun cavalry on both sides was making a rapid detour, which was the usual tactic of the Eastern cavalry. The war eagle was monitoring the progress of the Hun cavalry, while the Chutian army was speeding up its retreat.

"The Han army is lone and deep, they will definitely die!"

The Hun cavalry, who was in charge of outflanking, couldn't help but be overjoyed when they saw that they were about to surround the Han cavalry.

Surrounded by Hun cavalry in the desert, the whole army will be annihilated!

After being surrounded by the Xiongnu cavalry, many Western Han generals were either defeated and killed, captured, or surrendered to the Xiongnu, such as Zhao Ponu, Zhao Xin, Li Ling and others.

Even the most brave Han army, once the weapons and arrows are exhausted, it will be difficult to escape back to the border in the face of the vast desert.

The desert was the greatest reliance on the Xiongnu princes to choose a decisive battle with the Han Empire.

Defeat the Han Empire, and they can return to the south of Yinshan Mountain, Hetao, where the water and grass are more fertile!

Just as the three-way Hun cavalry was preparing to attack the Chutian army together, the edge of the endless Gobi was filled with iron hooves and dust, filling the air!

Although the flying general Li Guang is old, he is still high-spirited, and when he learned that the main force of the Huns was here, he kept going!

Li Guang, who has many years of experience in fighting against the Xiongnu, galloped his troops, and the elite Han cavalry galloped over, mighty!

Zhao Shiqi saw that Li Guang couldn't wait to step forward, so he led the cavalry to start a detour, wanting to counter-encircle the Xiongnu!

"Really caught the main force of the Huns, Chu Zimou is really a strange person!"

Cao Cao drove the cavalry to advance quickly, doubting whether there was really a main Xiongnu force in the north, but at this time, when he saw the Hun cavalry with no end in sight, he swallowed his saliva, these are all military merits in his eyes.

He saw Zhao Shiqi's Han cavalry making a detour from the left side, and he knew that Zhao Shiqi wanted to encircle the Xiongnu and annihilate this main Xiongnu force, so he gave an order to Xiahou Yuan, who was good at leading the cavalry to attack: "Miaocai, you lead five thousand light cavalry to attack from the right flank, and I will support later!" ”

"Command!"

Xiahou Yuan can slightly increase the forced march speed of the cavalry, which is best used to attack the flanks of the Huns!

Xiahou Yuan, the captain of the military academy, five hundred in three days, one thousand in six days! In "Lord", the corresponding ability is to force the march!

Cao Cao's aura of the whole army has a special blessing for the military generals of the Wei State, and Xiahou Yuan's ability is even stronger!

A group of quasi-first-class generals under the command of Cao Cao can exert an ability that is very close to that of a first-class general!

The Hun cavalry, who originally planned to eat the Chutian army, saw the arrival of reinforcements from the Han army, and they had a tendency to be counter-surrounded.

"All the troops attack!!"

Chu Tian gave an order, and 10,000 cavalry acting as bait began to counterattack the Hun cavalry!

He deliberately attracted the main force of Youxian Wang to attack and introduced the Hun cavalry into the Han army to encircle.

It is difficult to annihilate tens of thousands of Hun cavalry with 10,000 cavalry, but if you add 20,000 Han cavalry, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, then it is entirely possible to annihilate the Xiongnu Right Xian King!

This is a classic battle to lure the enemy and annihilate it!

The cavalry under the command of Chu Tian attacked on all fronts!

The white-robed army was overwhelmed under the leadership of Chen Qingzhi, and the pursuing Hun cavalry was counter-killed, and the people turned on their backs! Hunting in white robes, blood splashing!

Famous teachers and generals are not imprisoned, and thousands of troops avoid white robes!

The murderous Hun cavalry became the training stone of the white-robed army, and the white-robed army stepped on the corpse of the Hun cavalry and became a division of a hundred battles!

Once the level of the white-robed army is raised, it will become a terrifying cavalry in the future.

Hua Mulan joined the battlefield, holding a horse lance, and easily pierced the Hun light cavalry, which generally only had cloth armor and light armor.

Mulan's equipment is very luxurious for the Hun cavalry, Mingguang armor, horse lance, plus Turkic war horses, the quality is excellent, and the Hun cavalry may not be able to afford it for the rest of their lives. If it weren't for the Arabian war horses, because it was difficult to adapt to the climate of the Mongolian plateau, Mulan's equipment would be more expensive.

Equipped with heavy cavalry equipment, Mulan rushed and galloped among the Hun light cavalry, and no one could stop her! The iron hooves trampled over the Hun cavalry who fell from their horses, and the Hun cavalry was killed on the spot!

A Hun light cavalry slashed with a knife, but found that he could not break the defense, and then he was slashed by the soldiers who followed Hua Mulan with a Tang knife, and the head of Dou Da rolled down!

Joan of Arc held a battle flag in her hand and commanded the servant cavalry to advance, she was afraid of being blamed and embarrassed by Chu Tian, so she didn't dare to rush to the front, and was only responsible for giving bonuses to the servants and boosting morale.

At least she didn't dare to rush to the front in front of Chu Tian, but what to do in private, as long as Chu Tian didn't know.

The Hun cavalry, which was far more numerous than the Chutian Legion, was counterattacked, suffered heavy casualties, and retreated, Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun, Yang Ye, and Tai Shici joined forces to advance, just like the Warring States military chariots rolling by, everywhere they went, corpses were everywhere!

At present, the five tiger generals of Chutian forces, Xue Rengui, Zhao Yun, Li Guang, Yang Ye, and Tai Shici!

Except for Li Guang, who could not come to participate in the Battle of Mobei, the other four generals swept through the Huns and killed the enemy!

Chutian's "Heavenly Khan" characteristics suppressed the Xiongnu and exacerbated the collapse of the Xiongnu's morale!

Cao Cao sent Xiahou Yuan to defeat the Xiongnu on the flank, Xiahou Miaocai held a horn bow, the arrow was not missing, and he killed more than ten Hun cavalry in a row, which was still unstoppable!

Cao Cao personally and Zhang Liao came to support. The morale of the Hun cavalry attacked by Zhang Liao's cavalry dropped significantly, and after the morale collapsed, the Hun cavalry lacked fighting spirit and collapsed rapidly.

On the other side, the Han general Zhao Shiqi fought back and forth with the Xiongnu, but he still fought to the death, the morale of the Xiongnu fell rapidly, and Zhao Shiqi's cavalry had already taken the advantage.

"The main force of the Huns! This may be the main force of the Huns! ”

Flying General Li Guang was in tears and shot the Hun cavalry with tears.

With a short lifespan, he finally found the opportunity to become a marquis!

Li Guang's cavalry is far more powerful than Zhao Shiqi when dealing with foreign races, and more importantly, Li Guang's desire for war merits makes him enter the army of the Xiongnu Right Xian King without hesitation!

The elderly Li Guang, Xue Rengui, Zhao Yun, Yang Ye, and Tai Shici formed a new lineup of five tiger generals and defeated the Hun cavalry in a row!

When Yuan Shao led the cavalry to arrive, the Hun cavalry had already retreated.

"It is a good opportunity to hunt down the Huns and obtain military exploits. Lord, the opportunity cannot be missed. ”

Xu You immediately instigated Yuan Shao to pursue and kill the Xiongnu.

"Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Gao Su, each of you led 2,500 cavalry to pursue the Xiongnu, and you must capture the princes of the Xiongnu alive!"

Yuan Shao put his hopes on Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and King Lanling.

"Listen to your orders!"

Three fierce generals chased and killed.

This time, Yuan Shao didn't contribute much, but he could gain a lot of achievements, and he couldn't help but be complacent.

Another military advisor who accompanied the army was worried: "Lord, if I don't take the initiative to cooperate, I will fall behind after all, I am afraid it will chill Meng De." ”

Yuan Shao didn't believe it: "Cao Apu and I are old acquaintances, how could he betray me and choose Chu Zimou?" ”

Xu You shook his head: "This battle could have consumed the strength of Chu Zimou and the Xiongnu, if Cao Apu sent troops to rescue later, he could have gained more combat merits and eliminate Chu Zimou." Cao Apu was really unplanned. ”

Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Gao Su were all fierce generals, and after leading the light cavalry to join the battlefield, they were invincible. In addition, the main force of the Xiongnu Youxian King had been defeated, and he had almost lost many troops, so he won the battle.

And the Chutian Army, which served as the bait, attacked the Cao Cao Army on the flank of the Xiongnu, but suffered a lot of casualties. Li Guang, who fought fiercely, and Zhao Shiqi, who fought hard, suffered more casualties.

This is also the reason why Yuan Shao is complacent.

"It's a pity that there is no higher-level cavalry battalion, otherwise why is it difficult to recruit Baibao Xianbei heavy cavalry for Gaosu and sweep the Huns?"

Yuan Shao saw that the courage of the king of Lanling was no less than that of Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and that there was a special type of "Baibao Xianbei" equipped cavalry, and he was pleasantly surprised to obtain this fierce general.

The only pity is that the cavalry battalion of the special heavy cavalry needs a higher rank.

Xu You said: "After the battle of Mobei, the lord exchanged Gaosu for a more advanced cavalry battalion and recruited Baibao Xianbei for him, and Gaosu will definitely die. ”

"It's exactly what I want, sweeping Hebei, just around the corner."

Five legions rushed to attack the Xiongnu Right Xian King, and the cavalry swept through, chasing and killing the Right Xian King for 300 miles!

The right king threw away his armor and fled.

The cavalry of the Han army captured countless livestock and obtained supplies, and at the same time, Chutian's army also accidentally captured the wife and daughter of the Xiongnu Youxian King, the clan and others.
