Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
There are less than 20,000 tribal Hu cavalry, and a standing 10,000 cavalry hidden behind, these are all the lives of Hu Lu Luomen in this battle. Compared with Li Zhengfang's 70,000 cavalry, of course, it is less, but the 20,000 tribal armies are all veterans who have fought for many years, and the 10,000 standing cavalry is rare but empty, so Hu Lu Luomen does not feel pressure to block the Zhongshan army with his own strength.
Because this is the Zhongshan Army, not the Han Army, the biggest reason is here.
Hulu Adu, Ada, Hukeli, the commander of the ten thousand horsemen Wuzhu, the tribal Huqi, and the generals of the standing army all gathered in front of Hulu Luomen.
Looking at the Zhongshan Army's military formation, although it was launched, it was still advancing slowly like a snail, although it was only three miles apart, but it seemed that there was no pillar of incense time that would never pass.
Hu was brave in life, and they also regarded him as a coward with the heroism of the Han army, not to mention the cowardice of the Zhongshan army. Hu Lu Adu cracked his mouth and laughed, and the disdain on his face almost wrote the word '鄙shì' directly on his forehead. Seeing that the Zhongshan military chariot camp was rolling, but no army was the first to drive out, he opened his mouth and asked Hu Lu Luomen: "Master, which troops and horses do you say they will send over to fight in the front?" ”
"Adu, if you talk in the future, of course the southerners will send cavalry, do you need to talk about it? Could it be that the southerners want to use this turtle shell to rush our array? "Ada is also a member of the Hu Lu Ministry, but he is not a slave of the Hu Lu clan.
Hu Lu Adu was dissatisfied with Ada's words, and said that he was stupid, glared at him fiercely, and said in a sullen voice: "Of course I know that it is a cavalry, but the question is who will Li Zhengfang send to lead the troops?" ”
Ada squeaked, he didn't know the problem.
Hu Lu Omon ignored the quarrels of his subordinates. With a deep groan, he said: "Li Zhengfang's cavalry is nothing more than the Gao Anbu and that battalion of Han cavalry, if you take the lead...... It should be Gao An. ”
"Gao An's subordinates are defeated, although he is brave but not to worry about, he has no good soldiers under him, even if he rushes through, he is not afraid. If we can swallow that camp of Han cavalry in one bite, then Li Lao'er's turtle shell will be at our mercy. ”

The name of the Zhongshan Army is really too stinky, when they first participated in the war, Hu Qi killed them in one dozen or three and couldn't stand their ground, and directly retreated to Beiling City. Drop the chain halfway. The first big counterattack that Li Huizu had been brewing for a long time ended in defeat.
A few months have passed, and the Zhongshan army has changed its name in Hu Qi's mouth, Nanren. This is a unique contempt of the steppe peoples for the Central Plains human race many years ago. The combat power of its army and the image of its army can be seen in the eyes of Hu Qi.
At that moment, Hulu Luomen asked Wuzhu to return to the standing army, and he deployed and dispatched 20,000 still lacking tribal forces, quietly waiting for the forward soldiers and horses of the Zhongshan army to charge into battle. However, after waiting for two quarters of an hour, no cavalry came out to kill. When he was confused, he saw a sudden drum beat in the Zhongshan army. Then the Che Ying picked up his speed and pressed straight in the direction of Hu Qi. The cavalry at the front had already retreated to the left and right, and Hu Lu Romans could see the heads of people hiding behind the grain carts!
"What's going on? What kind of play is Li Laoer? Hu Lu Adu was shocked.
There was no temptation, no striker, and the army directly pressed up, this kind of play was unheard of, and it shocked Hukeli and the others.
Hu Lu Luomen raised his whip contemptuously, and shouted at a cadre: "What are you still doing in a daze?!" No matter how he fights, let's go to the cavalry first! Pass the order down. Hu Lu Ah is not with Lord Ben in front, the rest of your troops should ignore his Chinese army, just bite the cavalry on both sides! ”
Li Zhengfang is by no means a timid person, but is familiar with the art of war. In the steppe of Pingchuan, the Zhongshan Army has 5,000 grain wagons to escort, and if it is a regular march, it can protect the grain wagons thoroughly. It is inevitable that he will be disturbed by Hu Qi.
And now, five thousand grain carts, that is, eight large moving arrays, a cart camp with an outer circle and an inner square. The camps are connected, and they can immediately converge into a large array when necessary. In the middle is a circular clearing, if Hu Qi is lucky enough to break into this circle, and arrows are shooting in all directions, how many will die!
The army gathered in the camp formation, and controlled the enemy with bows and crossbows, and the Hu cavalry must not get close.
Even in order to maximize his combat strength, he brought a powerful bed crossbow when the army was released. The wooden cart pulled by the two oxen was used as the base, and the bed crossbow was pressed on it, and the feet were fixed, and it moved with it during the march. If it weren't for the urgency of time, he would have reported to Beiping and asked not to transfer a regular crossbow.
Li Zhengfang has made the most perfect preparations for his own calculation, and he believes that he will not lose this battle, let alone lose.
Ridicule is ridicule, and Hu Lu Luomen was indeed caught off guard by Li Zhengfang. The sound of cavalry fighting on both flanks had already sounded, but in front of the Chinese army, Hu Lu Luomen really dealt with the chariot camp, but there was a feeling that a mouse was pulling a turtle - there was nowhere to eat.
But you can't keep regressing like this, Hu Lu Luomen felt the decline in the morale of the soldiers, and he couldn't go on like this, even if he lost some soldiers in a fight, it was better than sitting still. After making up his mind, he immediately made a decision and personally led his tooth soldiers to the Zhongshan military vehicle camp in front of him like sharp arrows.
Seeing that the nobles took the lead and led the elite soldiers to kill the southerners, the men and horses under Hulu Adu also came to the spirit, and hurriedly gathered together to rush towards the Zhongshan army with the banner.
Hu Lu Rumon didn't rush and kill recklessly when his brain was hot, his eyes were fixed on the junction of the two chariot camps, thinking about breaking through from there. He didn't know it was a dead end.
But before he could get closer, he heard an order from the general of the Zhongshan Army on the opposite side. Immediately, there was a trembling sound of bowstrings in the Zhongshan army's formation, and the arrows and crossbows were hit like a torrential rain, and the dozens of tooth soldiers who rushed to the front were knocked to the ground before they could react, and the people turned on their backs.
The arrows landed in the ranks behind Hu Lu Luomen, and the screams of falling horses also sounded. "Rush, keep rushing!" How could there be immortals in the rushing battle, and the casualties of the dozens of tooth soldiers Hu Lu Luomen did not take it to heart, and raised his arms and shouted for the tooth soldiers to rush into the Zhongshan army formation regardless of a single qi.
During the charge, two arrows were shot at Hulu Romon's body, but they were bounced off by his fine armor, and they did not hurt him in the slightest.
The Zhongshan army in the first column on the opposite side didn't know whether they were afraid of the scimitar or confused, and the soldiers who were lying on the back of the car and opened their arrows suddenly all turned around and ran back. Seeing this, the Hu cavalry in the charge couldn't help cheering, and Hu Lu Luomen also secretly breathed a sigh of relief: the southerners really didn't fight.
"Whoosh, whoosh......" Arrows like dark clouds also rose from the Hu cavalry formation.
When there was still a distance of twenty or thirty paces from the Zhongshan army's chariot train, almost all the tooth soldiers thought that they had put away their short bows and took out their scimitars, maces, and iron bones, and those Zhongshan troops who had retreated suddenly reappeared. Then they were not armed with bows and crossbows, but with sharp spears.
The sluggish and scattered arrows also became neat and denser, and Hu Lu Luomon's face turned blue, he knew that the previous 'show of weakness' of the Zhongshan army was to lure himself into the bait.
They have rushed to this distance, and they can't retreat even if they retreat.
The dense arrows caused the charging Hu cavalry to fall to the ground like wheat that had been cut. He also had three arrows pierced into his body, and one crossbow pierced the armor on his shoulder.
But the pain of ** is not comparable to the severe pain in his heart, tooth soldiers, tooth soldiers, the tooth soldiers at the forefront of the charge have lost a lot this time. I underestimated the enemy, underestimated the enemy!
"Hahaha, well played, well played!"
In the lookout, Li Zhengfang stroked his beard and laughed. The retreat of the Chinese army's frontal Hulu Luomen caused an avalanche of Hu Qi's chain of Hu Qi, which had already dominated the two wings, and Hu Keli, Ada and others saw that Hu Lu Luomen suddenly ran away and couldn't figure out what was going on, so they hurriedly retreated. They are the superior side, and it is certainly very easy to retreat.
The rolling car battalion was still slowly advancing, and the Zhongshan army won the first battle, and did not let the cavalry pursue, but continued to advance slowly and methodically.
Hulu Luomen withdrew seven or eight miles in one breath like a lost dog, and directly withdrew to the standing ten thousand cavalry in Wuzhu, and saw that there was no shadow of the Zhongshan army behind, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
After counting the soldiers and horses, half of the seven or eight hundred tooth soldiers were broken, and even the tooth generals were folded in. Counting the losses of Hulu Adu's subordinates, there were 1,000 fewer people in a while.
Ada, Hukeli and the others withdrew and came to the standing ten thousand cavalry, and after listening to Hulu Luomon's words, they also gasped, this loss ratio is too great. Hulu Adu only had five or six thousand horsemen, and the number of tooth soldiers including Hulu Luomen was less than seven thousand, and it was one-sixth less at once.
"How can this be? The king has an order, if the master does not eat the Zhongshan army, he must also cut off the ...... of the Han army's grain road" Hu Lu Adu did not have the previous shameful smile on his face, but had a lost soul.
"No matter, retreat to the Beiti River first. Li Lao'er belongs to the turtle, he can't run fast, let's do it again in the afternoon, and if it doesn't work, we'll take a look at it in the evening-"
In the afternoon, more than 20,000 Hu cavalry came to the battle again, but found that the Zhongshan army even the cavalry had been collected into the open space in the car camp.
When night came, a low breath emerged on the banks of the Beiti River.
I couldn't stop the advance of the Zhongshan Army! Failure, failure can no longer fail.
At night, the stars have dotted the sky, bonfires are everywhere by the Beiti River, and the horsemen have begun to make food. After not taking a bite of hot food during the day, many people's attention has shifted from failure to the bubbling iron pot.
Hulu Romon is thinking about tonight's night attack, whether to fight or not? He couldn't make up his mind. After fighting with the Han army for so many years, except for the small Han army encountered in the first battle of Huaiyuan, he had never seen so many large-scale car battalions.
"What's going on?" The contemplative Hulu Romans were awakened by a sudden noise, could it be that the Han cavalry was sneaking in?
"My lord, it was the people below who accidentally set fire to the grass on the side when they were cooking, and they have extinguished it......"
-- The people below accidentally set fire to the grass on the side while cooking;
-- The people below accidentally set fire to the grass on the side while cooking;
…………
The words of the tooth soldier kept echoing in the mind of Hu Lu Luomon, and the eyes of Hu Lu Luomon, who was stunned, became brighter and brighter, and he caught the point, grass, grass all over the ground, wild grass-
He's got the point--
"Blow the trumpet, Jujun! Li Lao'er, Li Turtle, I'll make you a turtle-"
