Chapter 15 False Military Orders

Ascending the mound, at this moment, from the perspective of the mound, you can clearly see the Hun cavalry in the distance, Huo Guang looked at it, and the Hun cavalry that appeared in his distance was at least 8,000 people!

Eight thousand galloping cavalry, galloping across the vast grassland, the momentum is extremely impactful. Although he has a condescending advantage, Huo Guang is still inevitably nervous in his heart, and he really feels the feeling of raising his heart to his throat. However, seeing the three thousand Han cavalry on their bodies, it seemed that there was no trace of panic and nervousness on the faces of these people, but it gave Huo Guang a sense of calm, which invisibly made Huo Guang feel a little relieved.

"In the end, it is the elite of the Han Dynasty and the division of a hundred battles. This calmness is not owned by ordinary armies! Huo Guang sighed in his heart, and hurriedly thought about how to make these three thousand cavalry defeat the eight thousand Hun cavalry, or delay as long as possible.

The formation of the Hun cavalry was not rigorous, not like the cavalry team with a strict formation on TV, but like a group of horses galloping wildly. However, although there was no formation, the speed of the Hun cavalry was indeed fast enough, and in just two or three minutes, the Hun cavalry, which was still more than ten miles away, had already run out of a few miles, and it was only three or four miles away from the Han army's position.

"General, the Huns are rushing up." Fuluzhi did not give the order to attack for the time being, so the Han army only watched the Huns get closer and closer, but no one rushed down the hillside.

"Wait a minute, when the Huns approach the hillside, our army is rushing down." Fulu Zhi stared at the Hun cavalry in front of him, just now Huo Guang reminded him to occupy the high ground, and Fulu Zhi quickly realized the benefits. If the two armies face each other head-to-head in cavalry combat, then the competition is naturally the impact speed of the war horse and the strength of the soldiers, and now the Han army occupies the advantage of this small gentle slope, and the impact speed from top to bottom will be one point more than the Hun cavalry, and the corresponding inertia will increase the strength, and the reason why the Fulu branch has to wait for the Hun cavalry to start impacting the gentle slope before attacking, is also to use the Huns to slow down the upward impact, so that the advantage of the Han army will be one more point.

"A few of you stay to protect Huo Zhi, and the others rush down with General Ben." Seeing that the Hun cavalry was approaching the Han army, Fulu Zhi drew his long knife, and with a shout, he also followed the Han army to rush towards the Hun cavalry.

The few personal soldiers left behind by the Fulu branch did not follow the army to kill, but Huo Guang did not pay much attention to his own comfort at the moment, because the Han army under the gentle slope had officially clashed with the Hun cavalry.

Chaos, bloody, and tragic, as soon as the two armies clashed, it brought a shocking visual impact to Huo Guang. Huo Guang never thought that he would really see the battlefield fighting like this, just the moment the two armies came into contact, a smell of blood quickly spread. The neighing of horses and the fall of corpses and stumps made the battlefield extremely chaotic.

There were horses scurrying around and corpses falling from the horses, and even in the daytime, Huo Guang saw the sparks produced by the impact of countless weapons. Since the Han army chose a favorable terrain first, the Han army clearly had the advantage in the confrontation. Under the advantage of speed, about 100 people who rushed to the forefront of the Hun cavalry, almost all nine layers were cut off their horses.

At this time, Huo Guang also discovered a problem, that is, the weapons of the Han army seemed to be much better than those of the Xiongnu, because he saw with his own eyes that when the broadsword of a Han cavalry collided with the scimitar of the Xiongnu cavalry, the blade of the Xiongnu was actually cut off.

"The weapons of the Han army are all fine iron tools, and some of the Xiongnu army are bronze. In terms of weapons, the Han army has already occupied an advantage, and the stirrups can save a lot of physical strength for the Han army, and the Huns have a numerical advantage, our army should not drag the time too long, and should fight quickly, and give full play to the advantages of weapons and stirrups to instantly burst out of strong combat effectiveness. Although those bloody scenes made Huo Guang feel very uncomfortable, he still didn't forget to think about the battle situation and find a way to break the situation.

Of course, when you think about it, it's not so easy to solve this problem right away. The idea of a quick battle is good, but the numerical superiority of the Hun cavalry cannot be changed, and the current situation, the three thousand Han troops of the Fulu branch are even more unlikely to break away from the battle, so they will only let this Hun cavalry join the main battlefield of the Huo Quzhi army, which will really be a disaster for the Han army.

"Second master, the situation is a little bad. Although our army had the advantage at the beginning, but now the two armies no longer have any buffer zone, and if this continues, our army is only afraid of the annihilation of the whole army. Lao Ba looked at the battlefield with some concern, in fact, he was also thinking in his heart, should he protect Huo Guang first and retreat to the main force of the Han army. As for the 3,000 cavalry of the Fulu Branch, they can only resign themselves to fate, and besides, it is normal to be killed and wounded in the war, and the casualties of 3,000 people are worth it if they can provide a chance for victory for the main army.

"Under this scenario, how long can our army hold out at most?" Huo Guang's mind turned a thousand times, whether it was fame or strength, he had thought about it all over the time, but unfortunately there was no effective solution to the dilemma in front of him.

"If it was before, besieged by the Hun army, which was several times larger than our army, three thousand men and horses would hold on to a stick of incense at most, but now with the help of stirrups, our army should be able to support it for half an hour." This time it was not the eighth who spoke, but the seventh who rarely spoke. At this time, Huo Guang also noticed that in terms of individual combat, the Han army equipped with stirrups moved more smoothly on horseback than the Hun army, and its combat effectiveness was also higher.

"That's right, now that the Han army has been equipped with stirrups, and the brother's main army also has the power of stirrups, which means that the brother's side will end the battle faster than before. (Pingnan romance) "Huo Guang forgot that the Han army in this battle of Mobei is a little different from the original history, and the stirrup is undoubtedly the biggest change.

"If my brother is facing 60,000 to 70,000 Hun soldiers, how long will it take to end the battle according to the previous situation?" Huo Guang is not worried that Huo Qubing will not win, what he is worried about is only a matter of time, whether there is a matter of history in which the 3,000 men and horses of the Fulu branch encountered 8,000 Hun cavalry, Huo Guang does not know, if such an incident occurs because of his arrival, then it is not possible that the 3,000 men and horses may be wiped out.

Thinking of this, Huo Guang suddenly felt a chill behind him, because at this moment he realized that he had always had a wrong thought, that is, he had become Huo Guang, and no matter what, he would become the powerful minister in history, but he ignored a problem, that is, his Huo Guang was no longer the original one. Then Huo Guang will definitely not develop according to history, maybe any event that is different from the original historical trajectory may kill him, and he will have more variables that are inconsistent with history.

"Six to seventy thousand Hun troops? With Hou Ye's ability, there are 50,000 troops in his hands, and the battle should be ended within an hour. Lao Qi was slightly stunned, he didn't understand why Huo Guang said that Huo Qubing was facing an army of 60,000 to 70,000 Huns. You must know that they have never left Huo Guang for a moment, since Huo Quai's main army fought with the Hun army, these people don't know the battle situation over there, let alone how many Huns there are. However, he replied with a slight estimate.

The reason why he is so sure of the number of Huns that Huo Qubing encountered depends on Huo Guang's extra memories of later generations, because he remembers that the entire Zuoxian King has about 100,000 soldiers. Due to the arrangement of three lines of defense, although the first line of defense is the army led by Prince Zuoxian, since it is scattered, it is at most 70,000 people. This is the basis for Huo Guang to affirm the number of enemy troops that Huo Qubing encountered.

"A few of you immediately went to give the order, just say that there is still a stick of incense on Hou Ye's side to end the battle, let everyone hold on a little longer, as long as the Hou Ye's army arrives, these Huns are our military merits, as long as they are dragged and wait for Hou Ye to arrive, it will be a great achievement." Huo Guang glanced back at the horizon behind him, which was the place where Huo Qubing fought with King Zuoxian, and at this moment he actually wanted to let the few personal soldiers left behind by the Fulu Branch spread the news that it didn't exist.

Several of the pro-soldiers of the Fulu branch looked at each other, but they did not immediately carry it out, in their opinion, Huo Guang was just a child, and several people had been staying by Huo Guang's side, and they had never heard of such news. None of them could afford to bear the blame for this false military order.

"Huh? Why do you want to disobey? Huo Guang saw that a few people didn't listen to him, and he suddenly felt a little angry. Although several people are the pro-soldiers of the Fulu Branch, their official positions are also higher than them, but although the low-level soldiers also know that Huo Guang is such a person, they all think that he is the younger brother of the champion Hou to get to where he is today.

"It seems that I am still too optimistic, although my brother's name is big, it is not useful everywhere, especially if my name is not justified now." Huo Guang also knew what the problem was, and to put it bluntly, the position he was engaged in was only equivalent to a staff member, and without the official edict of the Han court, he had no right to command the army in the strict sense.

"This is the sword of the Hou Ye, if you disobey the military order, I will kill you immediately, and even the Fulu branch will not be able to save you at that time!" Huo Guang knew that he couldn't wait any longer now, so he only pulled out the sword at his waist and pointed at several of the soldiers of the Fulu Branch.

"Order!" As soon as they saw Huo Guang pull out his sword, and these people also recognized that this was really Huo Quai's sword, they could only take the order and leave, and soon spread Huo Guang's words just now to the Han army that was fighting.

At this time, the Han army was fighting with the Hun soldiers, and someone suddenly shouted out that the champion Hou Dajun arrived in less than a stick of incense, and these people would not consider the authenticity of it, at this moment of life and death, the news from Huo Guang undoubtedly brought hope to the three thousand Han army.
