Chapter 578: Rescue and Convergence

When the Han army, which was mainly based on foot soldiers, was stationed in the walled city, it was able to knock out the teeth of the Huns who were besieging the city.

But when it comes to the field, once the battlefield environment is an open place, the Han army, which lacks strong cavalry, will fall into disadvantage.

The alliance between Wu Gao and Wu Yao was experiencing this painful battle at this time.

The Huns used the steppe guerrilla warfare to perfection, and the harassed Han army was miserable.

The sky was getting dark, and a hazy darkness enveloped the land, and it was dark everywhere I looked.

The Han army, who had been tired all day, lit many torches and fires in the camp, and used the light of the fire to slightly dispel some of the darkness.

They did not remove their armor, and gathered around the fire with their weapons with them, with an irrepressible look of nervousness in their exhaustion.

No one could sleep peacefully, because every once in a while, the Huns would make all sorts of annoying noises outside.

If you ignore it, you can't tell when a large number of rockets will come in.

It's better at night, but it's even worse during the day.

The Huns, relying on the mobility of their horses, came in batches to constantly harass the Han army, making them unable to live in peace.

In the face of the attack of the Hun cavalry, the various units of the Han army moved closer together and covered each other.

It's just that this tense state of imminent battle cannot last, and the march in armor is also very physically demanding, and it can travel one or twenty miles a day.

There was no way, they didn't have strong cavalry to provide cover, and there was really no way to face the Huns who were whistling and whistling away.

After all, a two-legged one can't catch up with a four-legged one.

The Huns, on the other hand, could set up a camp not far away with their mobility, and the men and horses would take turns to return to the camp to repair and sleep, and feed the horses to recuperate.

When the Han army can't bear the collapse, then chase and kill.

For so many years, the Huns and the Han army have been fighting field battles like this, and the Han army can't find a way to crack it anyway.

"It's been ten days!"

Captain Wu Gao, Hanbok, said angrily, "It's been ten days since the army was dispatched, but it has only been two hundred miles. Not to mention going to Chengle, you can't even get to Wujin before the military period! ”

Chen Xin, the military commander who was sitting by the fire, responded with a dark face, "What I'm worried about is that I'm afraid we won't even be able to miss the deadline, and in a few days, after the morale of the attacked army collapses, we will have to be buried here!" ”

There are not many days left in the agreed confluence period, and if the deadline is not reached, it will be a head cut.

However, in the current situation, it is more likely that they will die in battle after the collapse of the army, and it will not be their turn to be beheaded.

Hanbok drew a knife in his hand and waved vigorously into the darkness in the distance, "Dog thief!" If you have the courage to come to face to face, what kind of ability is this kind of constant attack! ”

As if in response to Hanbok's words, in the direction he pointed with his sword, a large ball of fire suddenly rose more than ten miles away.

Immediately, more and more fires rose up, like dotted stars with light dotted the earth.

Hanbok was stunned, staring blankly at the fire in the distance, how could he have such a skill?

Amid the clanging sound of armor, Chen Xin had already hurriedly ran over and looked, "It seems that the camp has been attacked at night." ”

Hanbok, who came back to his senses, looked at Chen Xin and asked uncertainly, "In addition to us, are there other soldiers and horses nearby?" ”

"Impossible."

Chen Xin shook his head again and again, "All the soldiers and horses within a radius of two hundred miles are guarding the city, guarding the pass, and guarding the village, and only I am waiting in the field." ”

The two looked at each other, "The camp of the Huns?!" ”

More than ten miles away, Li Yunze, who was holding a short lance more than two meters long, swept by the impact momentum of the horse, and the short lance directly pierced a Hun with a bow and arrow, and the huge impact force directly picked it up and pushed it away.

Theoretically, this force of the shock would cause Li Yunze to fracture his wrist, and the usual practice is to let go of his hand the moment he is stabbed.

But his physical fitness can be called perverted, not only has no effect at all, but he can also push the Huns forward more than ten steps like a string of sugar gourds, and then shake them off with a flick of his wrist.

Then he rode his horse and galloped through the humble camp of the Huns, and inserted when he saw people.

There are only more than 100 horsemen who can ride horses rampant in the camp like Li Yunze, and these are the cavalry of Zhongshan Country that have been trained for many years.

The rest of the Han sergeants could only dismount and fight on foot, lighting fires everywhere while fighting to create larger-scale chaos.

There is no doubt that Li Yunze has another night attack.

After learning that the Han army was attacked and besieged more than 100 miles away, Li Yunze immediately set fire to the village, drove the captives and captured cattle, sheep, horses, carts, etc., and went straight to help.

In fact, there were not many Huns who attacked the Han army, only two or three thousand people.

It's just that they are not a vassal tribe, but the direct leading warriors of the Aries Department, and they are also rich in the grassland, the kind with slaves, and they have the time and energy to train, and they are half-full-time cavalry, and their elite level is naturally not comparable to those herdsmen who are busy working all day.

Among the Xiongnu in Nuoda, the only one who can really be called a full-time professional soldier is the palace tent army led by himself.

Even a large tribe like the Aries Department can't afford to raise a large number of off-duty soldiers.

This is also something that cannot be helped, productivity is too low.

The supply of this Hun cavalry is all provided by the Great Poor Department that was stolen by Li Yunze before, and I don't know that the Great Humble Department is finished, let alone that a Han army has appeared behind it.

Their energy was focused on the Wugao and Wuyao coalition forces in front of them, and Li Yunze took advantage of the night to touch the camp, and they were beaten on the spot.

Even, when Li Yunze rushed into the camp with the Han soldiers, most of the Hun cavalry slept in the tents, waiting for tomorrow after dawn to continue to attack the Han army.

Because their temporary camp will soon be abandoned, it is extremely shabby, not to mention, even the secret post is arranged in front of the Wugao Wu Commandery.

At the end of the day, it's not enough organization.

When the Han army formed a formation in a unit of 50 people, there was no suspense about the outcome of the battle.

The Huns who ran out of the tent had no weapons, bows and arrows, no armor, and the horses were concentrated outside, and the only thing left to flee in the face of the Han army's military formation was death.

With his backhand, he hung the short lance on the victory hook, and Li Yunze picked up the strong bow and began to rain arrows.

Even if the figure of the Huns only flashed in the firelight, it could not escape his eagle-like eyes.

The Han army that formed the array pressed forward amid the shouts of the officers, and the sergeants in the front row, dressed with spears and rifles, stabbed people directly at sight, the crossbowmen in the back row kept firing arrows, and the sword and shield soldiers set fire to everything that could be ignited.

After defeating the Sanda Department last time, Li Yunze seized tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses.

After bringing it back, the oxen were trained to be ploughing cattle, and those who could not be trained were directly slaughtered and fed to the sergeants.

The horses were trained into war horses and were given to the mounted infantrymen to train them to ride.

As for the sheep, the slaughter of the sergeants was added to the meal, at least the cavalry infantry in front of them achieved the level of being able to eat one meal of meat a day.

This is also the fundamental reason why they were able to launch night raids, and these Han soldiers on horseback did not have night blindness.

The light of day was getting brighter, and the fire, which had been burning for half the night, was finally gradually extinguished and turned to ashes.

Hanbok and Chen Xin, who were already impatient, rushed over with soldiers and horses.

Some time ago, the Hun cavalry, which was constantly attacking like flies, finally disappeared this time, and this Han army also felt a rare ease, and even the pace involuntarily accelerated a lot.

When the distance was several miles, a cavalry came quickly, and the Han army suddenly became nervous and prepared to line up.

But soon they saw clearly that the outfit of the person who came was also Han army.

When the two sides met an exchange, Hanbok and Chen Xin were dumbfounded.

"You mean, the king of Zhongshan is ahead?"

The cavalry of Zhongshan replied, "Captain Yudu, the king of my family learned that the army was coming, and he specially ordered a certain person to come and invite him." ”

Hanbok and Chen Xin glanced at each other, only to feel that their scalps were numb.

Not to mention that the king of Zhongshan went out to seal the country privately, he still brought troops out, and it must be an uproar when this matter goes to Chang'an.

They are just small captains, and they really don't want to get involved in this kind of Zhengzhi turmoil.

Not to mention them, even if Li Guangcheng doesn't know this level, he will be unlucky to get involved.

At this moment, the two of them couldn't wait to turn around and leave.

Can. I can't go now.

There is no choice but to go through it head-on.

When I came to the dilapidated camp of the Huns, I saw a large group of old and weak Huns digging a big pit.

The pit was dug not to push these old and weak people in, but to bury the corpses of the Huns who had been killed last night.

Even though the autumn harvest is already past this time, the weather is still hot, and if it is not disposed of, it may have disastrous consequences for the local area.

Although it is not from a tribe, when those corpses are thrown into the pit, the people of the Dazhu tribe, that is, the rabbit and the fox, can't help but cry.

Hanbok and Chen Xin looked at a first-class mountain piled up not far away, and roughly calculated that it could be as small as two thousand, and they were also surprised.

Fighting a war with the Huns, one battle can kill two thousand, this is already a great achievement, and it is also a field war!

When he saw Li Yunze, the king was sitting on a horse with a golden sword, with a burning bonfire next to him and a sheep on it.

Li Yunze, who was holding a short knife inlaid with gold in his hand, shaved mutton and stuffed it into his mouth.

Hanbok and Chen Xin, immediately stepped forward to salute "Minister's Hanbok (Chen Xin) to meet the king~~~"

The king of Zhongshan Kingdom, who is also the king of the Han Dynasty, or the prince of the Son of Heaven, is here, of course the two of them have to bow seriously.

"You've worked hard."

Li Yunze stretched out his hand and raised it falsely, "Sit down and speak." ”

Hanbok and Chen Xin did not suspect Li Yunze's identity, and he pretended to be the king here in Dahan, which was not something that could be done by his own death.

And there are so many Han troops of Zhongshan around them, and it is impossible for them all to want to accompany the whole family and the whole family to jump on the road together.

After the two sat down, Li Yunze didn't say anything politely, "How many soldiers and horses did you bring?" ”

"Three thousand soldiers, two thousand and one masters."

Chen Xin added: "The masters are all Tutuan villagers, trained, and they can go into battle with armor and soldiers. ”

After all, it is a Tutuan villager in the border area, facing the threat of invasion by the Huns, and its combat effectiveness must not be weak.

In ancient times, the scale of wars was huge, but it was not only the soldiers, but also the masters in charge of logistics.

Li Yunze didn't bring his master, because he came to the battlefield in the mode of a caravan, and after breaking through the big clumsy department, he also used the captured Dingkou as his master.

Li Yunze nodded, directly cut off two legs of mutton and handed them to the two, "How is the military order?" ”

This time, the two hesitated, but they still took the leg of mutton, and Chen Xin replied, "King, I will lead the army to Wujin, join forces with Wujin Zhao Duwei, and go to rescue Chengle." ”

Chengle is the county system of Dingxiang County, and it is natural to go to the rescue when it is surrounded at this time.

It's not just that they want to rescue in their own county, Dou Ying on the other side of Chang'an City is already a general, leading the army north to prepare to break through the Lou Fu and other troops who entered Koushang County first, and then come to Yunzhong and Dingxiang.

Li Yunze nodded, picked up the wine jug at his feet, took a sip, and then asked, "Can you arrive as scheduled?" ”

Hanbok and Zhao Xin glanced at each other, shook their heads and responded, "If the Huns continue to attack, I am afraid that there will be a loss of military time." ”

Li Yunze smiled, "I have a way, but I can break the Huns!" ”
