?

When Xiang Ye arrived at the canyon, it was already dawn.

He didn't see Shi Lei, but he saw the 5,000 officers and soldiers of the Wuwei Battalion who were led by a partial general and set up a formation in the canyon.

"Where's your general?" Xiang Ye walked behind the five thousand officers and soldiers of the Wuwei Battalion and asked a soldier.

When the soldier heard someone ask him, he turned his head and glanced at Xiang Ye impatiently. When he saw Chiji under Xiang Ye's crotch, he was so shocked that he didn't close his mouth for a long time.

"King!" The soldier was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses, and quickly knelt on the ground.

When the officers and soldiers beside him heard him shout "Great King," they thought he was a prank, and many of them turned their faces impatiently and glared at him.

Soon, these officers and soldiers who turned their faces were also like sculptures on the spot, and in their eyes appeared a general riding a red war horse.

The general was dressed in armor of the same color as them, except that a whole piece of iron was inlaid in front of the 'chest' of the armor, which 'shot' a golden light in the morning sun.

"Meet the King!" Seeing Xiang Ye's officers and soldiers, they all knelt on the ground and worshiped Xiang Ye.

Those officers and men who had never looked back all heard their shouts and turned their heads one after another, and after a short time, the 5,000 officers and men of the Wuwei Battalion in the canyon knelt on the ground.

The partial general who led the troops ran to Xiang Ye's horse, knelt on the ground and said: "King Qiyu, General Shi has arranged an ambush according to the prime minister's plan, and we are here as bait soldiers to lure the enemy to attack!" ”

Hearing that Shi Lei had been ambushed, Xiang Ye frowned, and said to the general: "The combat subordinates have changed, from now on, these five thousand soldiers and horses will be personally commanded by me, and you will be my deputy general." By the way, what's your name? ”

"King Qiyu, the last general is named Hita Muji." The general knelt on the ground, didn't dare to raise his head, and answered Xiang Ye's question in a loud voice.

"You're not from the Central Plains?" Xiang Ye frowned at the general kneeling under the horse with the reins in his hand, he didn't expect that there were people of other nationalities in his army.

The general lowered his head and said to Xiang Ye: "Yes, the last general will be the Qiang people, and my grandfather's generation migrated to Jiuyuan, and they are authentic Jiuyuan people!" ”

"Good! Good! Xiang Ye nodded and said to Hita Muji: "You are my lieutenant general, you must be careful in this battle, after the battle, if you make a meritorious service, I will definitely reward you!" ”

It was almost noon, Xiang Ye saw a cloud of smoke and dust rising in the distance, and hurriedly shouted to the army behind him: "Soldiers, the Huns are here!" As long as we kill him, the Huns will never invade the Xia Kingdom again, and your parents and sisters will no longer be bullied by the Huns! ”

"Kill Maudun! Kill Maudun! "The 5,000 officers and men raised their weapons and shouted loudly, and the shouts echoed in the canyon, adding a bit of momentum.

"What kind of mountain is this?" Xiang Ye looked up at the cliffs on both sides and asked Rida Muji.

"Back to Your Majesty, this is at the foot of the 'Yin' Mountain!" Rida Muji clasped his fists at Xiang Ye and said: "The 'Yin' mountain stretches for thousands of miles, and this is just an unknown canyon. ”

Xiang Ye looked up at the cliff, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he read aloud: "Qin Shi, Mingyue and Summer Shiguan, the Long March has not yet been returned." But to make Jiuyuan Fei general, do not teach Humadu 'yin' mountain! ”

He made some changes when he read Wang Changling's "Out of the Stopper", but it was still majestic and inspiring.

After Xiang Ye finished reading this poem, the five thousand officers and soldiers calmed down, and none of them were all pensive, all of them were reminiscing about the taste of the poem.

"Follow the king and swear to kill the Huns!" Hita Muki was the first to come back to his senses, he raised the spear in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Don't teach Humadu 'Yin' Mountain!" ”

"Don't teach Humadu 'Yin' Mountain!" Hearing Hita Muji's shout, the officers and soldiers also came back to their senses and raised their weapons one after another in response.

The smoke and dust in the distance were getting closer and closer, and the Hun army had already 'approached' the canyon, but when the smoke and dust dispersed, Xiang Ye could already vaguely see the figure of the Huns.

"Crossbowmen, archers ready!" Xiang Ye raised a hand and shouted, "Bow and crossbow wind, position!" ”

More than a thousand crossbowmen strode forward with his shout, the crossbowmen in front and the archers behind, sending a rain of arrows towards the empty canyon.

The arrows fell to the ground one after another, and the crossbow arrows were more than thirty paces away from where the bows fell.

Looking at the arrows that fell to the ground, Xiang Ye raised his arm holding the gun again and shouted: "Arrange a spear formation!" ”

The Xia army, who was holding a spear and a shield, immediately changed his formation after listening to the order, put the shield on the ground, and pointed the spear flat ahead, quickly forming a spear wall.

After doing all this, smoke and dust rose again on the other side of the canyon, and Xiang Ye knew that it was Mao Dun who gave the order to charge, and the Huns began to charge them.

The five thousand Xia soldiers held the weapons in their hands tightly, there were almost no veterans among them, all the veterans were picked up by the other four battalions, and the Wuwei battalion had only a group of recruits who had never participated in the battle.

"Soldiers, listen up!" The Huns rushed over, Xiang Ye felt that the officers and soldiers behind him were all nervous, he knew that fighting in this mood would not have a chance to defeat the enemy, so he shouted loudly: "You remember, you are the only one on the battlefield, there is no mercy, either you kill people or the enemy kills you!" Pick up your weapons and fight to stay alive! ”

After Xiang Ye's voice was behind, the five thousand Xia troops shouted in unison, and their momentum was suddenly boosted.

The Hun cavalry was getting closer and closer, and the black pressure was out of sight.

Xiang Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, he knew how difficult the battle in front of him would be, although the Xia army had dug the pit in advance, but after all, the Huns had too much advantage in numbers, 30,000 newly trained infantry against 100,000 heavy cavalry who fought all year round, if it weren't for Wu Wei's strategy, Xiang Ye would never dare to fight this kind of battle easily.

The figure of the Huns was getting closer and closer, and when the hooves of the first Hun war horse stepped on the crossbow arrows that the Xia army had 'shot' before, Xiang Ye waved his arms and shouted: "Crossbowman, shoot!" ”

The crossbowmen of the Xia army, who had long been lined up, heard the order and hurriedly poured arrows at the Huns.

The Hun cavalry also carried crossbow arrows in their hands, and they 'fired' crossbow arrows as they charged. The crossbow arrows of the Huns flew towards the Xia army with a roar, but because their crossbows were too scattered and chaotic, they did not bring much casualties to the Xia army, and almost all the crossbow arrows were 'shot' on the shields that blocked the crossbowmen of the Xia army.

The crossbow arrows of the Xia army flew towards the Huns, and the Hun knights also raised their shields to block. But the arrows were so dense that their shields blocked the arrows that were 'shot' at the people, but they could not stop the arrows that were 'shot' at the horses under their hips.

Many of the Huns' horses under their crotches were 'shot' by arrows, and they fell to the ground with a terrible neigh. The knights on horseback also rolled down with the fallen war horses, and before they could get back up, the Hun cavalry behind them rushed up, and the new Hun war horses stepped on the Hun cavalry that fell to the ground from the front.

The Hun soldiers who were still alive just now were immediately trampled into powder by countless horses' hooves, and they didn't even have time to scream, and they became a trace of grievances on the battlefield.

"Crossbowmen, stand back! Spear formations come forward! When the Huns rushed to a distance of only thirty or forty paces away from the Xia army, Xiang Ye shouted loudly again.

Immediately after he gave the order, the crossbowmen retreated and hid behind the spear array, which advanced a few steps forward and faced the Hun cavalry head-on.

Seeing that the Hun cavalry was about to rush to the front of the Xia army, they rushed towards the Xia army with the scimitar monster in their hands.

Just when the two armies were about to collide together, a row of Hun cavalry rushing to the front suddenly felt the two front hooves of the war horse under them sink forward, and then the whole person fell into a deep pit with the horse.

The knights in front fell into the pit, and the ones behind pounced, and the Hun cavalry actually fell into the pit like moths to the fire.

Xiang Ye had a smile on the corner of his mouth, looking at the Hun knights who were full of horror and wanted to stop their steps, but were pushed into the pit by their companions behind.

Just when the Huns had sensed the danger and were trying their best to stop the charge, a sudden sound of chestnut was heard at the mouth of another valley, and a group of Xia troops suddenly appeared on the relatively gentle cliffs on both sides, waving their flags and shouting on the hillside.

When the Huns launched an attack on the valley, Shi Lei did not immediately lead the army to kill, he was waiting, waiting for the Huns to go deep into the canyon, if Mao Dunshan could personally lead the army to kill the valley, it would naturally be the best, he could tighten his pockets and catch turtles in an urn!

Shi Lei squatted on the hillside, watching the 'tide' of Hun cavalry pouring into the canyon, and there were bursts of shouts and killings on the other side of the canyon.

He knew very well that the 5,000 soldiers and horses left behind had already fought with the Huns, but he still had a glimmer of hope that Maudun would enter the canyon in person, and he did not show up for a long time.

Until the last cavalry rushed into the canyon, there were still about 20,000 people left in the Xiongnu camp. The sound of killing in the valley shook the sky, but the 20,000 Huns did not have the slightest intention of moving.

Shi Lei couldn't wait any longer, if he delayed for a while, it was likely that the Huns would break through the trap and wipe out all the 5,000 people who remained at the mouth of the valley on the other side, and he had to make a move at this time.

With Shi Lei's order, the Xia army ambushed on the cliffs on both sides appeared one after another and rolled the logs that had been cut down in advance down the mountain.

Countless logs rolled down the valley with a loud "boom", and soon blocked the exit of the valley.

The Hun cavalry in the valley had suffered a setback in front and their morale was low, but now they saw that the retreat route was blocked, and their fighting spirit was suddenly lost, and many people rushed back towards the exit with strange screams, wanting to escape back to their main camp from the exit that had been sealed.

Shi Lei stood on the cliff, looked at the Hun soldiers in the valley who were in chaos, and said coldly: "Ignite the fire!" ”

After he gave the order, thousands of Xia archers set up flaming arrows on their longbows and 'shot' at the logs blocking the exit of the valley. ~
