Chapter 232: There is still a fight to fight (I wish book friends a happy New Year)
In terms of this batch of total troops, there are more than 4,600 Hun cavalry, and they naturally will not emerge from the ground.
In fact, it is just the current Xiongnu king Pu Nu Shan Yu, the army and horses sent more than a month ago; After a long journey, they finally came to Khotan.
Among them, there are 1,000 elite cavalry of Punu alone in the Golden Horde.
The hundreds of cavalry led by the Aries King, the Zhelan King, the Fuli King, and the Luhu King under the command of Min Min's special master added up to more than 4,600 people.
Zha Ernen, the commander of the Huns, served as the supreme commander of this team.
Along the way, especially after entering the Western Regions; Like Yang Dongli and others, they all adopted the practice of concealing the march.
The difference is that just along the way, Lao Yang and other people from the modern plane are still not as ruthless as the Huns; Only when you encounter horse bandits and sand thieves will you kill them directly.
If you encounter herdsmen, you will only be caught and act with the army, so as not to leak the news.
In the past few days, it has only restricted their movements, and they have not robbed them of the cattle and sheep they depend on, and even the food is provided by the army.
After receiving the summons just now, they even released these herdsmen.
But here the Huns are completely different, since entering the Western Regions, they will bypass far except for some cities.
The Hu people you met along the way, but it doesn't matter who you are or which country you belong to? All of them were killed, and all the cattle and sheep were used as military rations.
It can be said that the way they came over was full of rich blood.
And the army of the Huns, although it is only now that they have arrived here.
But the news of their arrival was through a small number of men passing through the fast horses, and the unrestrained envoy of the Huns, who was stationed in Khotan, was informed in advance.
Therefore, during the attack of the soldiers of Khotan, Kirbyya saw that the situation was very bad.
In the first time, he risked his life to kill a bloody road, so as to join this army of his own.
Because as long as he joined the army, he would not only survive, but also easily turn around the already bad situation.
The 4,600-strong Hun army, including even a Thousand Golden Horde, can be regarded as a terrifying force in the Western Regions.
I am afraid that only when a few small countries in the Western Regions unite can they have the strength to contend with each other.
If you want to defeat them, you need more small countries to unite.
Fortunately, at the moment when his horses were running to death, he finally met the vanguard of his own army; After being safely settled, Kirby's first thought was not revenge.
Instead, he came back with the army and snatched the glass handicraft from Ban Chao's hands.
As Hu Biao and others expected, these Huns, who used wolves as totems, could not refuse such a treasure at all.
Even the importance of this treasure is far above the killing of Ban Chao to take revenge and the extermination of Shanshanguo.
Because in the eyes of the Huns, only after the wolf god left a part of his soul in the world, can he condense such a magical treasure.
Therefore, after the importance of the glass wolf handicrafts was hurriedly explained to the leader of the leader, Zha Er Nen.
Zha Ernen also understood one point: whether he could kill the envoy of the Han Dynasty this time, destroy Shanshan and restore the prestige of their Huns in the Western Regions, such a point is no longer important.
The important thing is that the statue of the Heavenly Wolf God left in the world must be in his hands.
As long as he gets his hands on it and successfully brings it back to the Golden Tent, then he and Kirby will never have to worry about the glory and wealth of the rest of their lives.
Anyway, the two of them were sinners of the Huns, and being put in a bag and trampled to death by the horse was the best result.
After making up their minds, the two of them led the army and quickly killed back.
When he was halfway there, he suddenly saw the traces of Ban Chao and others, and he was as excited as if he had seen a wild dog like Xiang, and chased after him as if he was dying.
Fortunately, just like Hu Biao and others did not know about the existence of these Hun armies in advance; They were also ignorant of the existence of the bald thief army under Yang Dongxuan's command.
When the two sides collide reluctantly, it will be very exciting.
******
It is indeed the case, when Hu Biao and others fled all the way out of twenty miles, the army led by Lao Yang and others finally appeared.
When he saw the size of the Hun army, poor Comrade Yang almost didn't pee.
The main reason is that in the army under his command, the cannon fodder of more than 1,600 people was all put around at this moment.
Now there are only 118 henchmen and henchmen, and more than 1,200 war slaves.
This is still worried about the war slaves of 1,200 people, if they are rashly released to search for the Hun envoys, it is possible that some people will take the opportunity to escape.
Otherwise, the number of people around him would only be even smaller.
Therefore, even if Yang Dongli led more than 1,300 people behind him, when he passed the method of observing the army, and vaguely estimated the Hun army in front of him, the number was at least more than 4,000 people, and he was also panicked in his heart.
Looking at it from a distance, I saw that the Chinese army of those Huns was very elite, and the troops on both wings seemed to be much stronger than the cannon fodder under his command.
In short, after some cursory observation.
Yang Dongli could find that the elite of the Huns on the other side was still more than 3 times their strength, so this battle was very difficult to fight.
It can only be at the same time that the whole army is ordered to stop advancing and prepare for battle.
Let the several heralds around him blow the horn to the earth, and let the cannon fodder that was scattered before gather quickly, so as not to be broken by each one.
As for whether they can be gathered in time, will those guys who are fishing see the momentum of the Huns, will they run away immediately?
Frankly speaking, Yang Dongli is not very clear, and can only hope that the situation will not be too bad......
Fortunately, the Huns' captain Zha Ernen and the envoy Kirbya were in high spirits, and suddenly saw a large army suddenly appearing.
For these strange opponents who suddenly appeared, they were also forced to be fierce for a while, and immediately sounded the horn for the whole army to stop advancing.
In this way, the armies of the two sides stopped confronting each other one after another, separated by a distance of about five or six miles.
It's not that they won't fight, but the war horses on both sides are now quite weak after a long run; Before the battle, it is necessary to let the horse slow down and recover its horsepower.
For a while, almost everyone on both sides jumped off their horses at the first time.
Not only did he tidy up his weapons and armor, but he also put his weapons in the most convenient place for himself, so as not to let himself leak in the battle that would be fatal.
He even took out handfuls of beans, wheat grains and other fine horse materials from the bag, and fed them together with the water in the water bag.
It doesn't matter if you don't have enough to eat, these horses can't go hungry.
Anyway, it's just to wait for the battle to give the best play to your own war horse.
And in such a process, the Hu people cannon fodder who were scattered to the surrounding small tribes continued to return to the area where Yang Dongli was located.
With a look of panic, he joined the army.
After about half an hour, no one came back.
Yang Donglian, Feng Rui and others counted carefully, and found that there were only about 100 people, and they didn't know if they were too late to rush back, or if they ran away in advance and didn't come back.
But just these men and horses who ran back also made their current total strength reach about 2,900.
It was also after seeing this large number of people that Ban Chao and Hu Biao were a little surprised, how did Yang Dongli and them bring in so many people.
But more importantly, after seeing so many soldiers and horses, and some of them are well-equipped, they feel that they can do it again.
2,900 against 4,600 people, a gap of 1,700 people in strength.
With the exception of a small number of personnel, the Huns were significantly more elite.
Although this side has a lot of disadvantages, it is not without advantages at all, such as equipment and tactics, it is obviously much stronger than these Huns.
Special! After all the above thoughts flashed in their hearts, Hu Biao and the others cheered up again: they may not lose this battle, they still have to fight......
