Chapter 277: The First World War captures the single in the pursuit of the dead and chases the north
Daqian's soldiers rushed back and forth, and a large number of Huns were killed. By the time it was over, there were basically no living Huns, and the entire battlefield was littered with corpses.
As a vanguard, they naturally will not take prisoners.
Meng Tian's idea was to fight fast and attack as quickly as possible while the Huns had not yet discovered it. Even because of this, Meng Tian's 5,000 soldiers and horses only carried three days' worth of grain and grass.
After destroying a tribe, Meng Tian immediately ordered the slaughter of cattle and sheep, and a full meal as soon as possible.
Originally, these soldiers were one person and two horses, but this time, with the Huns' war horses, they directly became one person, three horses and four horses.
Meng Tian led the army to continue the attack, and the army broke through two camps in succession, killing a large number of Huns. After breaking several tribes in succession, the Huns finally reacted and began to gather forces.
It's just too late, and Meng Tian's army has actually come to the vicinity of the tribe of the Huns Qilian Danyu.
Meng Tian's army did not have the slightest rest, the army immediately attacked, Qi Lian Shan Yu's soldiers and horses had not yet gathered, there were only thousands of people around him, how could these horses be the opponents of the five thousand elite cadres? Thousands of cavalry roared out, and the Huns resisted with fundamental strength.
More than 3,000 people were scattered by Meng Tian in just a moment, and at this time, Qi Lian Shan Yu had already seen that the situation was not good, and led hundreds of people to flee directly.
Although the Huns were proficient in cavalry and archery, their formations were chaotic and their weapons and equipment were poor, not to mention 3,000 people, even 8,000 people were far from being powerful.
As Qilian Shan Yu, he has tens of thousands of Huns in his hands, as long as he is given time, he will soon be able to gather tens of thousands of troops. Although it is a loss of face to escape, as long as he gathers his army, he will soon be able to return for revenge.
Meng Tian led the army to directly break through the Huns' line, and just as he was about to turn back and continue to charge, he suddenly heard the guards next to him shouting: "General, look there!" ”
Meng Tian looked in the direction he pointed, and at a glance he saw a group of gorgeously dressed Huns fleeing quickly under the protection of hundreds of Hun soldiers, and by looking at their clothes, he knew that they were the great nobles of the Huns. Meng Tian was immediately overjoyed, and said loudly: "There are Xiongnu nobles there, and their achievements are today, follow me!" ”
"No!" The surrounding soldiers shouted loudly.
Meng Tian rode his horse in pursuit, and the soldiers behind him hurriedly followed closely behind him.
Qi Lian Shan fled in a hurry, scolding as he fled: "Why did these big cadres come so quickly? Are the tribes stationed outside a bunch of stupid pigs? It's just a few thousand pigs, and those dry people can't kill them in a while! ”
"Oh no, Shan Yu, those people are chasing after you!" A guard next to him suddenly shouted.
Qi Lian Shan Yu turned his head and looked frightened, his face changed suddenly, and the big cadres who had just come out of the battle did not chase the defeated Huns at all, but chased him directly.
Seeing the cavalry rushing quickly, Qi Lian Shan Yu was so frightened that he couldn't speak, and fled on horseback.
Qi Lian Shan Yu knew very well the strength of the great cadres, not only the armor was sharp, but also had a good bow and crossbow, there was no numerical advantage, and the Huns were not opponents at all.
Meng Tian led the army to chase Qi Lian Danyu, Qi Lian Shan Yu fled in embarrassment, Meng Tian since he broke through several Xiongnu tribes, he has already achieved the luxury configuration of one person and five horses in the whole army, Qi Lian Danyu can't run away at all.
Just when he was desperate, the horse's hooves in front of him were thunderous, and smoke and dust were everywhere. Qi Lian Shan Yu thought that the army of Daqian had been surrounded, and immediately cried: "Heaven is dead, and I am also!" Heaven will die for me! ”
"Just look at it, it's our people, it's our people!" The guards shouted as they pointed to the Huns' Daxu not far away.
Qi Lian Shan Yu looked up and saw that it was really his own person, and immediately said with great joy: "Quick, come with me." ”
The people, who were already desperate, saw the hope of turning defeat into victory at this moment, and their morale was greatly boosted, and they forcibly drove their tired horses to join them.
This army was Qilian Shan Yu's soldiers, and after discovering that the situation was wrong, he sent someone to send a message to collect the army to help, but before the reinforcements arrived, his camp was breached.
Fortunately, now this army has arrived, and this time he wants to take revenge! The escape that was chased just now was the most embarrassing moment of his life, he wanted revenge, and only blood could wash away the humiliation.
The speed of the Hun cavalry was very fast, and after a while, Qi Lian Shan Yu joined the army, and he immediately rode forward and shouted loudly: "I am Qi Lian Shan Yu!" ”
The commander who led the army hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down on one knee: "Shan Yu, we are late, please forgive us for our sins!" ”
"It's not too late, you're here just in time! Now, the people of the Immortal Heaven, it's time to let those dry people know how powerful we are! Qi Lian Shan Yu personally stepped forward to help Captain Wan up.
This time, Commander Wan brought a full army of 30,000, and Qi Lianshan was full of spirits and directly led the army to prepare to kill all those cadres.
When Meng Yi learned of the arrival of the Hun army, instead of being afraid to retreat, his eyes lit up.
At least 10,000 Huns army, even if the person just now is not a Hun Shan Yu, it is not far off, if this is caught, it will be a great achievement, and it is not a problem to pay homage to the marquis.
Meng Tian immediately turned his head to look at the soldiers behind him, and the soldiers who followed him in the battle also turned their eyes to him one by one.
"Soldiers, Your Majesty is waiting for our good news in Luoyang, the divine capital, this fertile land should be lived by our people of Zhuxia, and now is the time for us to make contributions!"
"Soldiers, kill with me!"
"Kill!"
The earth-shattering shouts of killing resounded through the grassland, and the soldiers in armor changed their horses and followed Meng Tian to rush to kill, and the crossbowmen on both wings also quickly wound up, and the arrows shot away like a piece of dark clouds.
Li Mu led the army to the Northern Expedition, which was also a noble and fast soldier, and the distance from Meng Tian's vanguard army was not too far.
After arresting some Huns and torture them, after getting the news that there was a tribe not far away from Qilian Shan Yu, he was overjoyed and divided the army into two, some of them continued to move forward with their baggage, and the other part was that he personally led the army to take the lead.
5,000 cadres and soldiers followed Meng Tian and rushed straight to Qi Lian Danyu's military formation, Qi Lian Danyu never expected that the cadre army would be so bold, but only 5,000 people dared to attack their 30,000 army formation.
"Are these dry people crazy?" Qi Lian Shan Yu muttered, but unfortunately what he didn't know was that together with him, in the eyes of Li Mu, Meng Tian and the great cadres, they were all meritorious deeds, and they were feudal marquis!
Soon Qi Lian Shan Yu knew the strength of these cadres.
Three thousand cavalry, under the cover of two thousand crossbowmen, rushed over at a gallop. Even if these Huns were equipped with armor, how could they resist crossbow arrows.
With the salvo of crossbow arrows, the Huns suddenly suffered heavy casualties, and if you look at it from the sky, you will find that the Huns' military formation was directly beaten into a 'concave'.
The three thousand elites led by Meng Yi were all wearing armor, and many of them even had a layer of rattan armor, and even their faces had face armor, and the Huns' bows and arrows were directly bounced off them.
Don't think that 3,000 heavy armored cavalry are looking for death when they attack tens of thousands of Huns. Li Shimin's 3,000 Xuanjia army rushed into battle, captured two kings in a battle, he faced the elite with complete armor, Li Jing's 3,000 elite ran thousands of miles in the snowy night, wiped out the Turks in a war, Sun Wu fought five battles and five victories, and drove through Yingdu.
War is never a game of numbers, and any miracle on the battlefield can happen as long as you find the right opportunity.
Three thousand people formed a conical formation, along the crossbowmen shot open the gap rushed in, the Huns did not react, was cut under the horse by the horizontal knife, especially the front of the people, all of them are not afraid of death, brave and invincible, there is no one enemy in the place where they pass.
After only a few moments, the front army of the Huns could not resist and began to rout. Those dry cavalry flew like sharp arrows, and the Hun nobles who were still full of confidence just now suddenly panicked: "Shan Yu quickly go to the Chinese army, the front army still can't stop these cadres!" ”
Qi Lian Shan Yu hurriedly led people to retreat, rushed to the Chinese army, and then ordered the Chinese army to dispatch, and the left and right armies outflanked, wanting to surround all these cadres.
Qi Lian Shan Yu was also ruthless, and he wanted to solve these people at any cost.
It's a pity that just when Qi Lian Shan Yu was pressed by the army, Li Mu led the army closer and closer.
The Huns wanted to outflank the left and right, but they collided head-on with the crossbowmen on both wings, and the crossbow arrows were fired, and a large number of Huns were shot and killed in an instant.
The Huns on the left and right flanks could not complete the outflanking at all, and what made Qi Lianshan even more frightened was that the cavalry of the Qianguo people still rushed towards him like a bamboo.
Although the Huns' cavalry was numerous, there was not much iron armor among them, so how could they be the opponents of the great cadres? Under normal circumstances, the Huns were harassed by archery from a distance, like a wolf pack.
Harassed with arrows, waited until the enemy was tired and there were flaws in the military formation, and then they swarmed up. But this time, the cadres did not give them a chance. Under the charge of the army, these light cavalry were no match at all.
In the face of steel, the bravery of the Huns was not worth mentioning.
And at this time, the battlefield suddenly sounded the rumbling of war drums, Qi Lianshan looked up, only to see that on the dirt slope not far away, a banner with the inscription 'Hussar General Li' slowly appeared, and then countless men and horses also appeared under the banner.
It turned out that when Meng Tian led the army to fight with Qi Lian Shan Yu, Li Mu had already led the army to surround Qi Lian Shan Yu's army.
With the sound of war drums, the army rushed down like a landslide.
In the face of the Daqian Iron Cavalry charge, even Qi Lian Shan Yu's most valued army of 2,000 Shan Yu Wang Tent equipped with iron armor was completely defeated under this charge.
The 30,000-strong Hun army quickly collapsed under the impact of the Great Qian's iron cavalry, and even Qi Lian Shan Yu was captured by Meng Tian's army.
