Chapter 173: Fire Attack on the Huns
"Put it again!"
With Huang Zhong's order, another rain of arrows flew out, and the Hun cavalry suddenly fell to the ground, and there were few of the 200,000 troops left.
At this moment, the strong crossbow created by Xiao Yun finally showed its due power, its lethality was no worse than the Qin crossbow of the year, and Xiao Yun's tactic was to learn from the Qin army of the year, every time he fought, he must first use a powerful bow and crossbow to hit the opponent's morale, which made the opponent frightened.
Zuo Xian Wang Yu Fuluo had a calm face, he didn't expect the crossbow arrows of the Bingzhou army to be so powerful, and ordered to attack again, but this time he directly dispatched 800,000 cavalry, and it was divided into several formations and dispersed, so as to prevent the collective arrows.
Despite this, the Bingzhou army still caused great casualties to the Xiongnu army with its powerful crossbow arrows.
After firing several waves of crossbow arrows in a row, Zhao Zilong and Tai Shici directly led 600,000 cavalry to rush up, and the 800,000 Xiongnu army was destroyed by crossbow arrows several times, and there were about 700,000 left, which was about 100,000 more than the cavalry led by Zhao Zilong and Tai Shici in terms of strength, and the gap was not very big.
As the two armies clashed together, all kinds of killing and shouting, and the sound of weapons colliding was endless, and the terrible killing aura made the heavens and the earth change color.
In the face of the well-equipped Bingzhou Iron Cavalry, the Hun cavalry, whose morale had been damaged, gradually fell into disadvantage, especially Zhao Zilong and Tai Shici, the two peerless generals, almost no one was able to survive three moves under them.
The environment of these alien living places is harsh, and various exercises and cultivation resources are scarce, and it is difficult to cultivate peerless generals in the Five Qi Dynasty Yuan Realm, so in the face of Zhao Zilong and Tai Shici, the generals of the Huns were either killed or fled in embarrassment.
Without the command of the generals, the Xiongnu army was suddenly in chaos, and there were many casualties under the charge of the iron cavalry of Bingzhou.
Yu Fuluo's face was extremely ugly, and he directly transferred 500,000 troops to support again, but unfortunately Xiao Yun did not give the enemy a chance at all, and directly ordered Zhao Zilong and Tai Shici to withdraw, and blocked the attack of the Xiongnu army with powerful crossbow arrows and chariots.

"Qingtong, it's not a way to go on like this, although the Huns' casualties are larger than ours, but they can't stand the strong strength of the people! And we are all veterans, so if we continue to suffer losses like this, we will break our muscles and bones!" Xiao Yun said to Huo Qingtong with a frown.
"Xiao Yun, I have observed, every time the Xiongnu side sends troops, it is normal to send troops, it is obvious that Yu Fuluo does not have any military advisors and strategists around him to give him guidance, and three days later, a northwest wind will come, I plan to design a fire attack!" Huo Qingtong said seriously.
"Oh, what kind of fire attack method?" Xiao Yun asked puzzled.
"There is a lot of dead grass on the grassland now, and it is extremely dry, it is easy to ignite, but this kind of dead grass is a little too short and thin, we need to add some more things!" Huo Qingtong thought.
"This is easy to do! Let's find a place with a lot of dead grass, and quietly place some incendiary bombs and flammable materials in it, and when the time comes, we can also learn from the "Battle of Red Cliffs" and the "Fire Ox Formation", and use chariots and fire oxen to carry a large number of flammable materials into the enemy army, which can definitely bring a lot of casualties to the Huns!"
"Yes, what you said can be used, and we can also refine the plan a little more, and strive to be foolproof, and win or lose in one battle!" Huo Qingtong squinted his eyes and said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll start preparing what I need right away, and I'll wait for three days. After Xiao Yun finished speaking, he began to prepare the things he needed!
In the next three days, the Xiongnu army fought tentatively with the Bingzhou army every day, although the Bingzhou army caused more than 600,000 casualties to the Xiongnu with powerful crossbow arrows and chariots, trebuchets and other equipment, but the Bingzhou side also lost more than 100,000 troops, which made Xiao Yun extremely distressed.
Until the fourth day, after the army was full of food and drink, more than one million troops, under the leadership of Zhao Zilong and Tai Shici, immediately came to the place chosen by Xiao Yun and Huo Qingtong and began to arrange the formation.
When Yu Fuluo, the king of Zuoxian, arrived with the Xiongnu and Jiang armies, although it was a little strange for Xiao Yun to change the battlefield, he didn't think much about it, and the army of more than two million people immediately arranged a formation.
"King Zuo Xian, why don't we decide the outcome in a battle today!" Xiao Yun came to the front of the army, looked at Zuo Xian King Yu Fuluo and said loudly.
"Hahaha, what's the matter? I finally couldn't help it! Zuo Xian Wang Yu Fuluo laughed.
In the past three days, the Bingzhou army suffered a lot of losses to the Xiongnu army with advanced equipment such as crossbow arrows, and the king of Zuoxian, Yu Fuluoba, wanted both sides to fight with all their might! He had full confidence in the soldiers under his command.
"Shan Yu, will the other party be cheating!We have to be careful!" A tribal leader whispered to Zuoxian King Yufuluo.
"Haha, don't worry, in this vast prairie, we are the absolute overlords, what kind of conspiracy can they resort to! Order, attack me!"
Seeing that the other party directly dispatched an army of one million, the corners of Xiao Yun's mouth slightly hooked up a sneer, first let the soldiers use crossbow arrows and trebuchets to shoot for a while, and then let Zhao Zilong and Tai Shici lead the remaining more than 800,000 cavalry to attack.
This battle was particularly important, in order to fool Yu Fuluo, Xiao Yun even sent Dian Wei and the pro-guard army to it.
With Zhao Zilong, Tai Shici and Dian Wei, the three peerless generals, the military generals on the Xiongnu side did not dare to come forward at all, which greatly affected the morale of the Xiongnu side.
On the contrary, the morale of the army is like a rainbow, and the more they fight, the more courageous they become, in fact, in this kind of war, the biggest role of the peerless generals is to improve morale.
Seeing that the morale of the cavalry on his side was getting weaker and weaker, King Zuoxian was angry and simply sent the remaining army of more than 1.3 million.
Xiao Yun and Huo Qingtong are waiting for this opportunity, the more troops the Huns and Jiang clan dispatch in this battle, the greater the losses will be at that time.
"Bronze, why hasn't the gale come yet?" Xiao Yun asked with a frown, his heart was already extremely nervous.
If the fire attack is delayed for a while, then in the face of the Hun army of more than two million, the loss of the iron cavalry of Bingzhou will definitely be greater!
"The northwest wind is coming, Xiao Yun, let our army retreat quickly!
She had already had some contact with astrology, but after coming to this world, after cultivating the divine soul, she became more proficient in astrology, and observing the celestial phenomena at night and predicting the weather was nothing to Huo Qingtong!
"Give the order, beat the drums and retreat!Let the chariots and fire oxen prepare!" Xiao Yun immediately ordered.
As the drums sounded, Zhao Zilong and Tai Shici immediately led the army to retreat, and the Xiongnu army thought they had won and chased after them with all their might.
When more than 2 million Xiongnu and Jiang troops entered the set location, the Bingzhou army immediately dispatched thousands of chariots full of flammable materials, and under the traction of war horses, they slammed into the Xiongnu army from both sides.
At the same time, there were tens of thousands of fire oxen, strapped with flammable materials, burning with raging fire and rushing towards the Hun army, at this time Zuoxian King Yu Fuluo's face couldn't help but change, he already knew that the other party was planning to attack with fire.
At this moment, he knew why Xiao Yun wanted to fight a decisive battle in another place, it turned out that the dry grass here was relatively lush, which was very conducive to fire attack, and Zuoxian King Yu Fuluo hurriedly ordered the withdrawal of the army, but unfortunately it was too late!
I saw countless rockets shot out around the Hun army at the same time, which ignited the flammable materials on the chariot and the dead grass on the ground at once, and the fire burned instantly.
At this time, a northwest wind blew, the fire suddenly surged, spread to the northwest, this direction is exactly the direction of the Xiongnu army, the terrible fire rose to the sky, countless Hun cavalry hurriedly dismounted and fell to the ground to avoid the fire, crying and screaming sounded again and again.
In the fire, there were also various explosions from time to time, and the flames were overflowing, which was the incendiary bombs and oil cans that Xiao Yun had hidden in the dead grass in advance were ignited, in order to make the fire burn more vigorously, and there were soldiers on the side of the state army who kept throwing incendiary bombs and oil cans into the fire, as well as various flammable materials, making the fire bigger and bigger!
Originally, if there were a ghost immortal powerhouse who used the Dao technique, he could reduce the fire, but in this kind of terrifying battlefield, without the cultivation of the Seven Thunder Tribulation Realm, no divine soul would dare to approach the battlefield.
Coupled with this powerful northwest wind, in the face of this force of nature, how can ordinary people turn the situation around?
Seeing that Huo Qingtong's face was pale, with a hint of unbearability in his eyes, Xiao Yun took the girl's jade hand and comforted:
"This is war, if you don't kill these millions of alien troops, it will be our soldiers who will die at that time, Qingtong, you have to learn to adapt, even if there is any karma, I will carry it alone, and it will not involve you!"
"Xiao Yun, I also know this, but watching millions of lives die like this, I can't help but feel uncomfortable!" Huo Qingtong said in a low voice with a pale face.
"Alas, it's all my fault, it's me who is too selfish, I have to fight for the world, and it breaks your heart for you to follow me!" Xiao Yun looked at Huo Qingtong guiltily and said.
"Xiao Yun, all this is my own volition, how can I blame you!And I also like this kind of life very much, it's just that it's uncomfortable for a while, you don't have to blame yourself!" Huo Qingtong looked up at Xiao Yun and said with a firm expression.
