Shu Yan didn't say anything more, slapped his horse and rushed forward with a gun. Ah Zhuang was not to be outdone, and raised his spear to greet him. Regarding marksmanship, Shu Yan learned from Tang Hui and A Zhuang learned from the army, both of which have been learned and used over the years. In addition, Errao's strength is not much different, so the comprehensive level is comparable, and the winner cannot be separated after a long fight.

The Hun soldiers on Ah Zhuang's side were in a hurry, looked down on the Ruyin soldiers, and couldn't hold it back; Peng Hui and Tang Hui also wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Huns were coming from afar to meet the lack of people and horses, so the soldiers on both sides shouted separately, and without waiting for the two main generals to fight for victory, they each rushed forward.

As a cavalryman, he has always been invincible, pressing the infantry to the ground and rubbing it. Especially this cavalry with rich combat experience, who had just been transferred from other battlefields, did not take the infantry in front of him seriously at all. In their eyes, as long as their own horses and guns rush forward, the other party has never seen the formation of real swords and real guns, and they will already be frightened, and they will definitely turn around and run, leaving their backs to themselves. Then you only need to take the gun and stab it in the back one by one, step on the horse, and it will be solved easily.

What the Huns didn't expect was that instead of turning their heads and running away, the Ruyin soldiers, who were so despised by them, moved forward bravely, fearlessly, and dispersed into a favorable formation, orderly and step-by-step. In addition to being brave, these Ruyin soldiers are also very good at killing skills, stabbing and picking, blocking and dodging, not at all like Tian She'er who just put down his hoe and sickle, but more like fighters who came out of the martial arts arena.

However, if it is fought alone, no matter how well-trained the Ruyin soldiers are, they are still far from the battle-hardened Hun cavalry. Fortunately, there are predetermined countermeasures, forming a life and death group to fight, acting as horns for each other and taking care of each other. You meet the enemy head-on, and I cover on the flanks; While you're the main attacker, I'll take time to support the attack. One Hun cavalry was still overwhelmed by two infantrymen, and was caught off guard by a third man who quietly cut off the horse's legs, and fell to the ground with the man and the horse. Wearing heavy armor and such a fall, before he could get up, he was pierced by a shot. Even the Ruyin soldiers who formed the life and death group had casualties, but they didn't need anyone to organize them, and they quickly formed a new group. As long as a certain cavalry is recognized, the decisive battle will be fought to the end, and the cavalry will not be given the opportunity to help his comrades.

At the beginning, it was two or three to fight one, and with the casualties of the Hun cavalry, it gradually evolved into three or five to one, and in the end, the Hun soldiers lost half.

Ah Zhuang taught Shu Yan's physical strength through that snowy night pursuit, and later taught Shu Yan's archery skills through archery. What he didn't expect was that Shu Yan's marksmanship was also so fierce. Halfway through, I found that I couldn't win at all. What surprised him even more was that his cavalry did not take advantage of the big melee, and at first it was still very strong, but then it gradually lost its strength.

That year, after holding Ah Yan hostage and escaping, Ah Zhuang successfully arrived in Zuoguo City and took refuge in Liu Mang. As long as there is a place of forgiveness, there is discrimination. He was born as a slave and was very discriminated against in the Hun army, and no one looked down on him. However, he was extremely powerful, brave and good at fighting, and every time he fought, he was in the front, and he made a name for himself by virtue of his ability, and was appreciated by the upper echelons of the Huns, and was promoted to captain. Although Ah Yan obeyed him, whether it was out of his infatuation with Ah Miao, or because of Ah Miao's repeated rejection of him, Ah Zhuang still had a knot in his heart about not being able to get Ah Miao.

This time, the Xiongnu army Kouyuzhou, originally Ah Zhuang was going to follow Liu Mang to invade Runan, but he took the initiative to ask Ying to bring some soldiers and horses to capture Ruyin.

Ah Zhuang had just left Ruyin, and he knew the situation in Ruyin very well. He knew that Ruyin's army was weak, with only a few hundred troops, even if it had developed over the years, how strong could it be? So he only asked Liu Mang for 5,000 soldiers and horses.

A fledgling lieutenant wants to attack a county, of course Liu Mang can't believe it. couldn't stand Ah Zhuang's repeated requests, so he agreed. But 5,000 soldiers was too little, so he was given 8,000 soldiers and horses.

With 8,000 soldiers and horses, Ah Zhuang was even more phosphorus, and immediately boasted of Haikou and leveled the entire Ruyin County in three days. Liu Mang was also very interested in cultivating Ah Zhuang, promising that if Ah Zhuang could really take down Ruyin, he would be promoted to the rank of general.

I thought it was a treasure trove and it was bound to be obtained, but I didn't expect it to sink into the sand.

As his cavalry continued to fall off his horse, he knew that he was planted here today. Although he is unwilling, if he continues to spend like this, not only will his life be lost, but he will also be wiped out. In desperation, he had to shout to transmit a signal to his subordinates. These cavalrymen were very familiar with the rules of the battlefield, and when they heard the order of the commander-in-chief, they no longer fell in love with the battle, formed a breakthrough posture, and quickly retreated.

It is already very good to be able to defeat the Hun cavalry, but it is difficult to do it if you want to destroy them all. People say that they can't chase after it, but in fact, they can't catch up if they want to. The cavalry is fast and the turbulence is fast, how can you chase it with the two legs of the infantry?

Shu Yan watched Ah Zhuang escape, but he was helpless. Although he failed to catch Ah Zhuang, he won the battle and was full of emotion. The dead Hun cavalry left behind a large number of armor, weapons, and war horses. War horses cannot be taken for themselves, and everyone does not rob them, but armor and weapons can be used as their own trophies for daily use. As a professional regular army, the Hun soldiers were much better equipped with armor and weapons than the Ruyin soldiers. In the face of such a rare good thing, who is not tempted? So everyone went to pick up the weapons scattered on the ground and pick up the armor of the casualty cavalry.

It seemed understandable for the victorious side to go for the spoils, but Shu Yan stopped them for the time being. Because there is also a very urgent matter, and that is to treat the wounded. As the saying goes: Kill 10,000 enemies, lose 8,000 yourself. On the battlefield, they are all fought with a knife and a shot, and since fighting a war means that there must be sacrifices. Through the count, there were thousands of casualties on their side, but fortunately most of them were not fatal.

Shu Yan issued an order to divide the personnel into three parts: Tang Hui led people to give priority to treating the wounded, and those who were injured and did not die were also treated if they were willing to surrender; Peng Hui led people to collect the spoils of war, put them into the warehouse, and distribute them in the future; Zhang Fei led the logistics militia to bury the body. It is very irresponsible to not clean up the battlefield in time after the battle, and more importantly, these corpses are very likely to cause plague after they are exposed and decomposed, so it is also very urgent to bury the corpses in time.

With cheap armor and patchwork of weapons, this amateur infantry, with no combat experience, defeated the professional, experienced, and well-equipped Hun cavalry. Although more wins less, it is not a miracle. After this battle, the myth of the invincibility of the Hun cavalry in the minds of the Ruyin people was broken, and the morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted. Even the pessimists of the past have gained confidence. The common people rejoiced and came to the camp with wine and meat.

However, Shu Yan was not happy, but fell into greater anxiety when Zheng knew that although this battle was won, it was when we were outnumbered. If the enemy sends heavy troops to make a comeback, it will be difficult for his own tactics to work. Now that most of Yuzhou is in confrontation with the Xiongnu, Liu Cong seems to be bound to take Yuzhou. So even if Ah Zhuang doesn't come to take revenge, the Huns won't let Ruyin go. It was almost inevitable that the cavalry would return to Ruyin, and it must have sent heavy troops. What will you do when the time comes?

The best way is to return the favor to others, and to form a cavalry yourself. But the idea is good, but it can't be realized. Because horses were very expensive, and they needed to be re-equipped with weapons and armor suitable for cavalry, with their poor family background, they could not equip a few sets at all. And the cavalry is not a horse, it is a cavalry. If you want to go to the battlefield, both horses and people must go through professional training to achieve the unity of men and horses, which is difficult to achieve in a short time.

"The Huns won't give us much time, we have to come up with a way to win." Shu Yan said.

Shu Yan, Peng Hui, and Tang Hui stood on the platform while guiding the soldiers to practice martial arts and discussing strategies to resist the enemy. Wu Qian, Du Jian, Ruoxin and several assistants observed at the scene. Since the defeat of the Xiongnu, both the main battle faction and the main peace faction in the past have now all united in hatred and become a united front. At present, the fight against the Xiongnu is the first priority, and even the only priority. At the moment of the great enemy, Ruoxin's main cultural, educational, and ceremonial aspects had to be completely suspended, and all kinds of complicated trivial matters in the past of the other Cao Cao were all put aside, and they all took it as their responsibility to support the fight against the Xiongnu.

"Everyone wants to be surprised, but how can there be so many good ways? Throughout the ages, the northern border area has been plagued by Rongdi cavalry. If there is a good way, Qin Shi Huang will not build the Great Wall, and Han Gaozu will not be reconciled. ”

"Building the Great Wall and making peace with relatives is ultimately a palliative rather than a cure. Only by riding like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and riding hard can the situation be fundamentally reversed, so that the Xiongnu have not been able to really turn over for hundreds of years. ”

"But now that the Xiongnu have turned over, there is no more Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains."

"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, even if Guangwu, Wei Wu, and Jin Wu are alive, it is enough to deter the Huns."

"Although it can't be compared to any Martial Emperor, our current emperor can't be incompetent. If you are helpless and born at the wrong time, what can you do? ”

"Don't kid yourself. Listen to you like this, as if we now have an emperor. ”

"Hey!"

Everyone suddenly woke up from a dream. Yes, we don't have an emperor.

If Sima Chi was only captured by the Xiongnu, he would still be nominally the emperor of the Great Jin, but Liu Cong had already killed him after he had played him enough. As the saying goes, a home cannot be without an owner for a day, and a country cannot be without a king for a day. But today's Great Jin does not have an emperor.
