Chapter 47: The Decisive Battle of the Xiongnu (8)
At night, the Hun camp was full of food and drink gradually returned to calm, after a day of fierce fighting and last night's peace, the Hun camp except for the necessary patrol men, the rest of the personnel entered the tent to rest.
Even Su Bu, who was not very satisfied with the battle during the day, was lying on his side with his face and snoring in the big tent with his beauties in his arms and back, and he didn't mean to call the Han army tired and stealing the camp at all.
However, the Huns have no brains, and the Han people will not let go of the opportunity, looking at the flickering bonfire in the Hun camp and listening to the howling of wolves on the grassland, Yan Liang raised the big knife in his hand with a grim smile.
The war knife is an order, looking at the big knife pointing directly at the Hun tent, Yan Liang's left and right Sima Li Ji and Qiuzi Wang Baiba, who were separated on the horse, successively led the order to wave their weapons and rushed out, and they rushed out with more than 5,000 cavalry who were already ready to go.
The cavalry, who had been recuperating for a long time, was now in full energy, and when the cavalry galloped away on the turf with dewdrops, although it was not as good as the movement of the tens of thousands of cavalry of the Huns, the sound was enough to make the earth tremble.
Spears such as forests, scimitars such as waves, accompanied by the charge of the cavalry thousands of deadly weapons on horseback, although the cavalry in the Han army formation is limited, but since the beginning of the war has been recuperating, now with a war has some meaning of waiting for work, even if it is several times their own, at this moment has been launched the team of Han cavalry also looks arrogant.
The Jiang army and the Xiongnu were not far away, but only five miles, and Yan Liang led the Qiuzi people to kill from the position guarded by Xu Huang, and they could reach it in an instant.
Of course, as the greatest tribe on the grassland, the Huns' vigilance should not be underestimated, and as soon as Yan Liangbu charged, the Huns, who had already rested, reacted.
These men, who have been with jackals since childhood, didn't need to be greeted when they got up, and they didn't even wear clothes, so they rushed out of the tent with the scimitar beside them, and then stepped on the war horse tied to the tent and prepared to fight, and the reaction speed was definitely no less than that of any elite.
As a tribe on the steppe, the Huns did not pay much attention to camping, and generally only put fences around to prevent wild beasts. Such a simple defense brought danger to them at the same time, but also brought convenience, seeing that the Han army charged without the need for a sub order, the Xiongnu tribes under the leadership of their own leaders pulled down the fence and rushed out of the battle.
Cavalry against cavalry, needle against Maimang, the long-awaited head-to-head confrontation with the Han army began.
The cavalry charge came in an instant, only to hear the sound of 'bump', and the Han army in red fire robes mixed with the Qiuzi people and the naked Huns collided together.
With a war horse of hundreds of pounds and a rapid impact, the visual effect of the moment after the collision can be imagined, and for a while, the red and white liquid stained the dark night.
As the number one fierce general of the Jiang family's army, Yan Liang took the lead in the battle formation, and Yan Liang was like a fish in water as soon as he entered the battle array, and immediately cut a screaming Hun soldier in front of him into two with a horizontal split, and his colorful intestines fell to the ground with a 'bang'.
Faced with such a disgusting scene, Yan Liang, who had already seen blood, seemed to be accustomed to it, and without a glance, he slashed at another Hun with a big knife.
Swords and swords, flesh and blood flying, the battlefield is cruel and does not tolerate the slightest mercy, as the neighing of people and horses resounded through the heavens and the earth, all the attention on the grassland was attracted, even the jackals that were still howling just now stopped their howling, for fear of attracting the disaster of killing.
"Nu'er told the rest of the troops to retreat immediatelyγγγ" Looking at the battlefield where blood and fire alternated, Jiang Qi coldly ordered.
"The slave will do it immediatelyγγγ" As soon as he heard the order, the carving slave hurriedly leaned over to receive the order.
"Yan Ming,,", waiting for the carving slave to go down to give the order, Jiang Qi looked at the position that was already empty except for the banner, and then shouted behind him.
"The last general," Yan Ming, who had been guarding the rear with the Qilin for the first two days, finally waited for the long-lost order, and as soon as he heard Jiang Qi speak, he hurriedly walked up with his weapon.
"Order the Qilin Wei Siqu to be led by each army to be stationed in the front and rear and left and right positions, and once you enter the position, the drums and trumpets will sound in unison, and the torches will swim, so that the soldiers and horses will still be there for this marquis, and the flags will not die until Wen Heng leaves."
"The Last Will Understand γγγ"
After the order, Jiang Qi set his eyes on the back of the formation, as his gaze extended, a team of thousands of steps was moving rapidly, and when the team disappeared from sight, Jiang Qi's hanging heart stopped slightly, and now it was up to Yan Liang to escape the pursuit of the Huns.
Blood-stained robes, beheading generals to kill the enemy, as soon as he entered the Hun army formation, Yan Liang didn't know how many people he killed, left and right bows, horizontal and vertical slashes, there was no one general under his hands, and the earlier mission had long been forgotten.
Fortunately, when Yan Liang was on the rise, an eager voice interrupted his attack.
"General, Daxu herald, the army broke through from the westγγγ" And the person who shouted was his Sima Li Ji, an old man from the Yueqi battalion, and now Li Ji is also the fastest general in the Yuecai battalion.
Hearing Li Ji's shout, Yan Liang hurriedly slashed the two Huns who surrounded him with a big sword, turned his horse's head and retreated to the protection of his own guards.
As soon as he entered the formation, Yan Liang hurriedly turned his head to look uphill, and the Da Xu, who had been illuminated in his eyes, had fallen to the west at the moment, and when he saw the Da Xu, Yan Liang sighed depressedly, and said in his heart, why not give himself more than half an hour, according to the way he played at this time, he was confident to enter the Xiongnu army in less than half an hour.
However, after resenting Yan Liang to carry out the military order, and once again set his eyes on the tallest tent of the Hu Renzhong army, Yan Liang raised his big sword and immediately ordered the whole army to retreat.
The retreat order was given to Bai Ba as if he relieved his burden, and after just more than half an hour of fighting, the losses of his own clansmen exceeded 1,000 people, and if he continued to fight, he might have to go to see Changshengtian with the Huns.
However, after this battle, looking at the strong combat power of the Han army, Bai Ba had to think carefully about throwing himself into the Han army, otherwise without Jiang Qi coming out, even Yan Liang, who is now taking the lead in opening the way for the whole army, can destroy them.
With Yan Liang's order to retreat, the Huns, who were quite comparable just now, suddenly felt the pressure relaxed, and began the road of counterattack, and gradually the two armies that were originally in frontal conflict began to run and chase each other.
"Subutouren, do you want to attack the Han position immediatelyγγγ" When Yan Liang's troops began to retreat, Wei Xu Touren, who was covered in blood and still had wounds on his body, came to the Chinese army to inquire about the war.
Hearing the suggestion, Subu was slightly angry and said, "No! According to the number of the Han army, although this group of cavalry failed to turn around and flee, there were at least more than 10,000 people in his formation, and there were also Qiuzi people in this raid, which can only show that their elite is still there, if our warriors fight at this moment, it will definitely be heavy casualties. It's better to sharpen the spirit of the Han army tomorrow, and when they retreat, that is when our war cavalry will show its might. β
was vetoed by Xu Bu, but Xu Guduhou said: "Then how to deal with this fleeing Han army, if it is not annihilated, our army is likely to suffer from the enemy, and the casualties of the warriors in our clan in the first battle just now are not small." β
"Only Xu Touren, you are right, this way! Let Yu chase after him, and let this Han army feed the wolves on the grassland! Hahahaγγγγ"
γγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγ
Just between the bustle of Yan Liangbu and the Huns retreating and chasing, Guangyan City, dozens of miles away, was silent and terrifying.
During the day, the people of the city were invited away by the Han army, and now there is no trace of the streets of the city except for the occasional 'chirping' chasing mice. Even the cool breeze that represents the summer moment blowing across the street will only make people feel that it is a cloudy wind.
And in this terrifying background, the already empty street corner sounded a crisp 'clang', followed by a low chatter.
"Brother Yan, didn't you say that this place would become a battlefield? Why did the Han army retreat, weren't we deceived? If so, why do we have to get the rest of the brothers to cover up and pretend that we are all goneγγγ"
"Ah Zhuang told you a long time ago to let you go with your brothers, but you just came along, and I saw that you actively brought all the weapons."
"Kuanzi, don't talk about Zhuangzi, you're not the same, see if you are holding a sword in your handγγγγ"
"Yes, who still urged me to help Brother Yan carry the double hammer in a panic during the day, why do you regret it now!"
As the discussion escalated, the three of them sat down depressedly on the steps of a mansion gate and sighed. If Xun Yu is here at this moment, he must know each other, aren't the three guys who are talking to Wang Yan who should have left the city.
And the reason why Wang Yan and his two best brothers are still here at this moment is actually not accidental.
Originally, Wang Yan had no intention of leaving after hearing that this place would be a battlefield today, and he promised Xun Yu during the day that he would just deal with him. He promised to go out of the city during the day, and the other side let his companions cover and take the opportunity to stay in the city, of course, the two companions and brothers who stayed together were naturally indispensable.
Sitting on the steps, Wang Yan sighed, and then put the eight-edged sledgehammer weighing forty catties in his hand to the ground, and said to the two brothers: "Ah Zhuang and Kuanzi We have walked all over just now, what have you seen in every corner of the city?" β
Hearing the inquiry, Ah Zhuang put the cooked copper stick in his hand and his shoulder and said sullenly: "What else?" In addition to straw and firewood, it is fire oil, and the west and south gates are completely blocked. β
"Yes! What is the Han army doing? Two gates were blocked, but the other two gates were opened, but the east gate and the north gate were different, and the north gate was obviously guarded by more soldiers. Another big man named Kuanzi chimed in.
Combined with everything he saw, Banxiang Wang Yan guessed: "In this way, the two virtuous brothers think that the Han army will burn the city!?" β
"Burning the City γγγγ" As soon as they heard Wang Yan's words, Ah Zhuang and Kuanzi immediately jumped up, their faces full of surprise.
"If it really is, then we're not dead," said after the surprise, thinking that it was probably so Kuanzi worried.
"Then Brother Yan, do we have to hurry out, otherwise we won't be burned here!" Although Ah Zhuang's IQ is not high, he is not a fool, and quickly put forward his thoughts.
Although he was also worried that the Han army would really set fire to the city, Wang Yan was unwilling to leave: "But thinking about it, I feel that it is not right there, the two brothers think about it, why did the Han army burn the city, they have just beaten down the city, if they want to burn it, they should not wait until now, and this is the city, not a thatched hut."
Listening to Wang Yan's speculation back and forth, Kuanzi and Kuanzi were a little confused, and in the end, Kuanzi, who had a bold personality, didn't know what to say, and simply said: "What does the brother say, Ah Zhuang and I both listen to you!" β
"Yes! Brother Yan, we all listen to your γγγ"
"In that case, then we will go to the north gate, which is more guarded, and we will be prepared when we see any moves of the Han army. If there is real danger, we can get out of it from anywhere. I think that the Han army should not embarrass us, otherwise it would not have persuaded us to leave during the day today. Half-loud in thought, Wang Yan decided.
"Okay, let's all listen to my brother'γγγ"
At this moment, with the decision, Wang Yan and the three of them quietly touched the north gate, and finally stayed in a two-story inn. Entering the inn, the three of them began to observe the Han army patrolling the city in the dark, while taking turns to rest, preparing for an uncertain future.
As everyone knows, it was Wang Yan's decision that created the beginning of their military career.
