Chapter 296: Fierce Battle against Daqing Mountain
Twenty miles south of Daqing Mountain, after a few days of trekking, he finally arrived at the assembly place before the enemy could catch up, and King Hutu also brought him good news that the guards attacking Dingxiang had moved west towards the clouds after he had moved the tribesmen. And stopped a hundred miles away from Daqing Mountain, thinking that he was waiting for the people all the way to the south.
Both of them were anxiously waiting, waiting for Qiang Qu to finally make a statement, waiting for Wei Xuanjun to appear, and also waiting for Kebineng to appear. The first to appear was the Qiangqu tribe, and Qiangqu finally made a decision and led nearly 20,000 strong men towards Daqingshan. Other small tribes scattered throughout the state also gradually gathered towards Daqingshan. The small tribal coalition was deployed in the southeast of Daqingshan.
However, Kebineng, who had high hopes from King Hutu, still did not move, and he had to continue to send envoys to ask for help without telling his people. And they lost the trace of the Wei Xuanjun at the same time to the south and east of Daqing Mountain.
Despite the constant sending out scouts of the kings of Qubei and Hutu, few returned. This made the emotions of the two of them who had become excited because of Qiangqu's arrival begin to turn again???????????????? for anxiety.
So far, their understanding of the Wei Xuan army comes from the oral accounts of the Huns who escaped from Yanmen County in advance, and these people have not actually seen the vanguard of Wei Xuan at all, and another side of their understanding is the total annihilation of the Yufu Luo Division. If you want to completely annihilate a Hun army of four or five thousand people, it will be several times more than riding horses, so according to this standard, the king of Bei and Hutu plus the small tribal alliance is just to see if it can draw with Wei Xuan's army.
Now Wei Xuan's rude interception of their scouts also proves the excellence of the enemy's army scouts from one side. Of course, they didn't know that Wang Qiang's scouts were supported by bilateral stirrups and horseshoes in addition to super-intense training. Even if they encounter a Hun scout in an open field one-on-one, they are not opponents.
Then the scouts of the two divisions could no longer reach the sixty miles east and south of Qingshan, which was already the limit of cavalry raids. In just one day, the two of them paid nearly 300 scouts, and the king of Qubei and Hutu still had no way to determine the exact location of the enemy, so they could only be surrounded by the locals in half and sixty miles southeast of Daqing Mountain. Fortunately, the people of the Qiangqu tribe have arrived close to Daqingshan, and other small tribes have completed the deployment of defenses in the east and south of Daqingshan, plus the Qubei and Qiangqu, and the Southern Xiongnu tribes have gathered nearly 70,000 Zhuangmen around Daqingshan.
However, as time went on, the enemy scouts became more rampant, and King Qubei and Hutu even had to divide small armies as scouts. However, as night fell, the map that had been brought out by the advance of small forces might be swallowed up by the night.
What worried the two even more was that Daqing Mountain was a new mountain range fifty or sixty miles to the south and southeast, and where could Wei Xuan's infantry hide from the scouts before the cavalry arrived.
As expected, just as Qubei was about to rest in his tent, the scouts in the distance of the camp began to warn frequently, and then the dull sound of horses' hooves came from the southeast. Although small, the former residence was still outside in time, but the experienced Huns knew that a large force of the enemy had appeared.
He was not surprised to be humble, because the enemy had finally come, and although it was a night attack, as long as he had enough time to prepare, he would definitely drag the enemy back, and the camp of King Hutu was twenty miles to the north, and he could reach the battlefield in half an hour.
Of course, the most reassuring thing was that a few miles southeast of his camp gathered several other small tribes, although their tribes were small, but their total prime of life was 20,000 people.
By the time he got dressed and began to gather the warriors of his tribe, the scouts were warning more and more, and the sound of the enemy's horses' hooves was getting tighter and tighter.
On the other hand, he sent people to ask King Hutu to send people to the southeast, not wanting to inquire about the enemy, but he took a few men to find a small hill to check on the upcoming battle.
The distant enemy began to come in the direction of Daqing Mountain like a winding fire dragon. Now that both the enemy and the enemy have been dispatched, the horses' hooves are disorganized, and the number of enemies can only be roughly estimated by the number of torches.
I couldn't help frowning after looking at it for a while, because the enemy cavalry in this night attack was no more than 10,000, maybe less than 10,000. These people's words can't even break through the small tribal coalition forces.
Qubei already knew that the cavalry was divided into four divisions, about 20,000 men. So tonight is an outgoing East Elite???????????????? Or another 10,000 men preparing to attack from other directions?
Soon the decision was made to order the large contingent to move in a southeasterly direction, while sending nearly 5,000 men out of the camp quietly to the south. Prevent the enemy from sneaking into his camp.
However, he still followed the team in the southeast direction. He believed that this was the direction of the enemy's main attack.
Fifty miles southeast of Daqingshan, less than thirty miles away from the camp of the small tribe alliance, Zhang Liaozheng led the five thousand tigers and leopards to ride forward without hiding their tracks, in order to make the war horses adapt and confuse the enemy, they even each held a torch in each hand, and the horizontal distance between them was very open. This is a battle in the real sense since the tiger and leopard rode the Chen army, before Xiangling ambushed Yu Luo, Xiu Wu completely annihilated Yan Liang and Nei Huang swept Chun Yu Qiong were just a small test.
Without him, because tonight's five thousand of them are the main attack, not only to quickly defeat the enemy blocking the front, but also to be responsible for pulling tens of thousands of Huns within a radius of dozens of miles.
As Zhang Liao had predicted, as his team walked out of the valley, the enemy at the foot of Daqing Mountain on the opposite side had already begun to attack, and the two sides were moving in the opposite direction, and the distance of thirty miles soon became a short encounter.
Standing in front of Zhang Liao's tiger and leopard cavalry were nearly 20,000 light cavalry from several small Xiongnu tribes. Although they may not be as capable of fighting as the tiger and leopard cavalry individually, they still pressed up head-on despite the large number of people. Moreover, he set up a crane wing array, ready to outflank Zhang Liao's 5,000 people from both flanks.
Zhang Liao turned his head to look at the sides, there were Zhang Fei and Guan Yu on both sides, and then looked behind him, behind him were his cavalry and Ran Min, who was still unconvinced despite losing to Zhang Fei and Guan Yu many times.
】
Seeing these guys, Zhang Liao was full of confidence, and waved his long knife: "Kill!" ”
The 5,000 men were divided into three about three miles from the enemy, with Zhang Fei on the left and Guan Yu on the right, each leading 1,500 heavy cavalry to meet their respective enemies. Zhang Liao led the remaining more than 2,000 tigers and leopards to pounce on the enemy in front of him.
Zhang Fei was the first to come into contact with the enemy, and the Zhangba snake spear danced and took the lead in killing the Huns on the left. He had already thrown away the torches in his hands, and after a long period of military training, he and his horses quickly adapted to the chaotic battlefield, and sufficient nutrition also ensured that he and his men would not lose to the Huns who often ate beef and mutton at night.
Zhang Liao rode forward, and said to Ran Min behind him: "You go and help Captain Zhang, help him defeat the enemy on the left as soon as possible, and then roll back to the right, don't be greedy for the number of enemies, just disrupt the enemy's battle formation." Our main aim is to tear the enemy out and pull him into the valley, preferably by skull. ”
Ran Min nodded excitedly, then greeted and rushed out with more than a hundred people from Yanmen. Zhang Fei's subordinates quickly killed the enemy in front of them one by one with the blessing of Zhang Fei's 10,000 enemies, but because the number was too small, it was like a needle piercing into the sea, and they were quickly overwhelmed by the enemy.
After Ran Min received the order, he struck up from Zhang Fei's right rear, and finally broke through a gap in the enemy's phalanx again.
The Huns may have thought that the Han cavalry would be very powerful, but they would never have imagined that there were 5,000 heavy cavalry in front of them. Responsible for intercepting a small tribal leader on the left side of Zhang Liao???????????????? The face was picked off the horse by Zhang Fei. The reason why he is the leader of a small tribe is because of his limited bravery. But soon those red-eyed Huns quickly surrounded them, one could not stop Zhang Fei, just two, three, four or five, and soon Zhang Fei's surroundings formed a war group, a mobile war group. Every time Zhang Fei took the initiative to attack, he almost had to push this battle group forward two or three steps, and he could see Ran Min's heart swaying behind him! He understands how to be an excellent rider, and Zhang Fei is the benchmark! Ran Min's surprised colleague pointed at Zhang Fei and rushed out to the dozen or so juniors behind him, and then all the juniors saw a new battle group appear a dozen steps to Zhang Fei's right. Everyone was brave and brave, and when they saw this, they did not disperse, and the entire Hun battle formation was stretched out a lot.
Qubei, who stopped to watch from afar, was quickly attracted by the battlefield, especially Zhang Fei's side, from the perspective of Qubei, his battle formation was like a sheepskin bag that was gradually blown up, to be precise, a puffed sheepskin bag on one side, and this bag was slowly rolling backwards to the rear of the Huns.
It's just a matter of a moment, and the crane wings that stretched out and wanted to outflank were smoothed out! Such a speed made Qubei frown.
Then, almost at the same time, the enemy's left and middle lanes reunited, and they both slightly reversed direction and killed to the right front instead of the front.
A cold sweat broke out in the enemy's speed, which was to quickly cut off the wings of another crane.
Sure enough, before the enemy in the middle completely penetrated the entire phalanx, the other crane wing of the crane wing array had already been cut through the middle. Guan Yu, who was also a 10,000-strong enemy, apparently saw Zhang Fei's progress on his left, although he had a good relationship with Zhang Fei, especially after Zhang Fei wrote to him to return to the tiger and leopard ride. However, there is actually a competitive relationship between Zhang Liao, the main general of the tiger and leopard cavalry, and Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, the two captains, especially Zhang Fei and Guan Yu. Now there is another Ran Min who is about the same as them in martial arts and a little less experienced in the battle formation. Moreover, Ran Min is still a disciple of Uncle Zhao Yun, and if they don't work hard, they will be overtaken.
Guan Yu is a proud person, he will never allow such a situation to happen! Only he can constantly surpass others.
