Chapter 1052
Everyone couldn't believe that this was a military order from the steady Wei Qing, but since the generals were all out of the way, then let's go out too, face the yellow sand, and rush over!
Don't be suspicious, don't be surprised. War is a field full of accidents, and any accident can happen, and this time is the most test of the wisdom and courage of the commander. And the real celebrities are often stimulated to all their potential at this time, leaving his opponents dumbfounded and frightened.
Sure enough, Yi Zhi Xianwan didn't expect Wei Qing to be so decisive, and he was stupid at the moment, but when he saw that the wind and sand around him were full of black shadows of the knights of the Han army, he came to the world like a demon army for a while, and the ghosts cried wolves howled, and the sound of killing shook the heavens and the earth.
The wind and sand concealed the roundabout route of the Han cavalry, concealed the true strength of the Han army, and also disintegrated the already unstable fighting spirit of Yi Zhixi.
So, Da Danyu, who had experienced a hundred battles, trembled for the first time, he didn't want to die, let alone die in a piece of yellow sand.
Zhao Xin was also afraid of death, and he had no shame to be the prisoner of his old boss Wei Qing, so he shouted loudly to Yi Zhi: "There are many Han soldiers, and the soldiers and horses are still strong, and the battle may not be favorable, it is better to withdraw from the battlefield, collect the soldiers, and fight again tomorrow!" ”
This was really too oblique to Yi Zhi, and he immediately ordered a retreat, and then turned his royal chariot pulled by six mules, and led hundreds of Xiongnu horsemen to break through a gap in the northwest of the Han army, and fled in a breach. A decisive battle that has been held for so long, Li Guang is absent from class, Yi Zhi leaves early, and even I feel bored for Wei Qing.
Don't blame Yi Zhilan, the chariot guards and cavalry attack, the two wings are encircled, and the wind and sand are raided, these are all tactics he has never seen; In addition, Wei Qing, who has always been cautious, suddenly became extremely bold again, and he rushed forward against the wind, such a wonderful command was really unexpected.
Therefore, although the two armies are currently undecided, psychologically the Xiongnu have been completely defeated, and Yi Zhi's evil confidant does not know the other, and he takes the initiative to lose, so fleeing is naturally his wisest choice.
Although Yi Zhiyi ran away, the Xiongnu army was still fighting with the Han army, and the sky was dark and upside down. They didn't know that their Da Shan Yu had already fled, let alone that Da Dan Yu had ordered the entire army to retreat.
In a bloody battle, the number of casualties of the Han and Hungarian armies was roughly equal, and each lost thousands of soldiers. Soon, the wind and sand dispersed, and the Huns were about to fight again, but found that Da Danyu had already abandoned the army and fled, and the dragons were leaderless and suddenly in chaos, so they broke up to the north.
The left captain of the Han army took advantage of the situation to capture several people from Shan Yu's own soldiers, and after some interrogation, Wei Qing learned that Yi Zhixian had run away early, so he quickly sent a light cavalry to pursue it overnight, and personally led the army to follow, and the horse's hooves crushed the waning moon, but could not break the loneliness between heaven and earth.
Now the Hun army fled in embarrassment, the Han army chased the north, and there was no suspense about victory, but as long as Yi Zhixian was not caught, this victory was not complete.
After that, Wei Qing sent a civil official to ask Li Guang what was going on, why did he get lost, and he ran away? Li Guang was ashamed and said: "The old man is over sixty years old, and he doesn't want to be questioned by the knife and pen officials. After saying that, he wiped his neck and committed suicide.
A generation of famous generals has fallen, sad and lamentable!
However, although the Xiongnu were disabled, the losses of the Han Dynasty were not small, with tens of thousands of casualties, more than 100,000 horses, and countless costs for transporting and manufacturing military chariots and armor.
