Chapter 172: Frontier War
Xiao Yun and Huang Zhong led 200,000 elite iron horsemen and took seven days to reach the frontier of Shuofang County.
Zhao Zilong had repelled the attack of the wolves, and now he was in a stalemate with the Southern Xiongnu, and Tai Shici also came to Shuofang County with an army of 100,000.
The places of this alien invasion are mainly Shuofang County and Yanmen County, and Xiao Yun is about to order the army to gather in these two places, but now the main army led by Huo Qingtong has not yet arrived.
In the big tent of the military camp in Shuofang County, Zhao Zilong said to Xiao Yun with a heavy face.
"My lord, here in Shuofang County is the army of the Southern Xiongnu and the Jiang people, with a total of about three million cavalry, and I have also sent someone to understand that it is the Xianbei army, with a total of two million cavalry. ”
There are only 3 million troops in Bingzhou today, and many of them are new recruits, and they have never been on the battlefield! However, this time, the Southern Xiongnu actually united with the Jiang people and Xianbei and dispatched 5 million troops, and the disparity in strength between the two sides was huge, so Zhao Zilong could not be worried.
"It's okay, although we don't have an advantage in troops, we are much stronger than these aliens in terms of equipment and weapons, and we don't necessarily suffer losses!" Xiao Yun said with a smile.
He was telling the truth, and all the soldiers and horses in the state were of excellent weapons and armor, and they were also equipped with all kinds of chariots, trebuchets, ballistas, repeating crossbows, incendiary grenades, etc., which were far from being comparable to those of these alien races.
Moreover, there are many generals and military advisors, so Xiao Yun is not very worried about this big battle! he is just thinking about how to minimize the loss.
Then Xiao Yun and Zhao Zilong came to the Great Wall, looking at the endless camp of the enemy army in the distance, Xiao Yun couldn't help but sigh that three million troops were huge, and the momentum was different.
He learned from Jinyiwei that even the alliance of the Eighteenth Route Princes who went to crusade against Dong Zhuo was only three million troops, and this time the Southern Xiongnu, Jiang Clan, and Xianbei actually dispatched five million troops, which really looked up to him!
Remember in a second https://
The Southern Xiongnu and the Jiang clan have not attacked in a big way in the past few days, mainly because it is not cost-effective to use three million troops to attack the Great Wall, and the other party will fight it out in the field after waiting for Xiao Yun's main army to arrive.
Three days later, Huo Qingtong led an army of 800,000 and finally arrived.
"Xiao Yun, I asked Xu Junshi to lead an army of 900,000 to Yanmen County, and I only brought an army of 800,000 with me. "After Huo Qingtong learned about the situation in Shuofang County from Xiao Yun, he was a little worried about the lack of troops.
"Qingtong, it's okay, there are also two million Xianbei cavalry on the Yanmen County side! I feel that you have too many soldiers and horses for me!" Xiao Yun looked at Huo Qingtong's slightly tired look, and knew that she hadn't rested well in the past few days, so he comforted softly.
"Xiao Yun, have you forgotten that Yanmen County still has Gongsun Zan to support our 300,000 troops! Coupled with General Zhang Jaw's original 200,000 troops, the total strength is already 1.4 million, and there is no problem in resisting the two million Xianbei cavalry!" Huo Qingtong reminded.
"If you don't say it, I really forgot!But I'm still a little worried that it's only Zhang Jaw over there, so it's better to let General Huang go over!" Xiao Yun pondered for a moment.
The top generals on his side are Zhao Zilong, Tai Shici, Huang Zhong, and Dian Wei, and there is only Zhang Jaw on the Yanmen County side, Xiao Yun is really a little worried, so he plans to let Huang Zhong go over.
"Okay, General Huang has a lot of experience on the battlefield, and the past is the best!" Huo Qingtong smiled slightly.
"Qingtong, do you have any good ways to fight against these alien cavalry, it's best to avoid hard encounters, so as to reduce the casualties of the soldiers!" Xiao Yun looked at Huo Qingtong and asked.
"Not for the time being, I'll look at the situation of the enemy army tomorrow, and then see if I can come up with any good way according to the terrain and weather!" Huo Qingtong pondered.
Xiao Yun also knew that it was difficult to come up with a good plan in such a vast area, so he could only act tomorrow!
The next morning, Huang Zhong, Zhao Zilong, and Tai Shici led an army of 1.4 million to line up outside the Great Wall.
Of the more than 140 troops, 800,000 were cavalry, and the remaining 600,000 were infantry.
On the opposite side, the three million armies of the Southern Xiongnu and Jiang tribes were also neatly arranged.
Yu Fuluo, the Zuoxian King of the Southern Xiongnu, rode to the front of the army under the protection of a group of personal soldiers, and shouted at the Bingzhou army: "Xiao Yunke is there?"
"Honshu Mu is here, are you?" Xiao Yunwai Dian Wei and his own soldiers also slowly rode forward.
"You are Xiao Yun, and I am Yu Fuluo, the king of the Xiongnu Zuoxian. Zuo Xian Wang Yu Fuluo stared at Xiao Yun and shouted in a deep voice.
Xiao Yun's age surprised Yu Fuluo, although the intelligence also said that Xiao Yun was very young, but now after seeing him with his own eyes, Zuo Xian Wang Yu Fuluo was really shocked, he found that this Xiao Yun was only twenty years old at most, younger than his youngest son Liu Bao.
"It turned out to be Zuo Xian Wang Yu Fuluo, disrespectful and disrespectful! I just don't know why Zuo Xian Wang Yu Fuluo have repeatedly invaded my Han Dynasty? How many people have been homeless and ruined?" Xiao Yun shouted with a cold face.
"Hmph, in our grassland, the strong have always been respected, and the fittest survive, since you don't have the ability to protect those fertile soils, you should surrender to us and let us rule this land!" Yu Fuluo, the king of Zuoxian, looked at Xiao Yun and said loudly.
"What a robber logic, when we Han people are strong, you bow down and pay tribute every year, once our Han people fall into civil strife, you immediately come up and want to take a bite, think about how can you shameless people have the face to live in the world!" Xiao Yun reprimanded loudly.
"Bastard, Xiao Yunxiao'er, do you think that with this little soldier and horse, you can resist our three million iron horsemen? What a joke, if you know each other, you will immediately release my son Liu Bao and bow down to me, I will spare you from dying!" Zuo Xian Wang Yu Fu Luo threatened in a cold voice.
"It's so daring, it's not certain who wins and who loses! Yu Fuluo, you dare to be so presumptuous!" Xiao Yunyou turned around and went back directly.
"Junior An Gan is so rude!Order, give me an attack!" Zuo Xian Wang Yu Fu Luo said angrily.
With Yu Fuluo's order, more than 200,000 iron horsemen immediately rushed out of the 3 million alien army to kill the Bingzhou army.
"Archers ready, ballista ready, put it on me!" Seeing that the 200,000 Hun army had already rushed into the firing range, Huang Zhong immediately ordered.
I saw an overwhelming burst of arrows making a "buzzing" sound, like the vibration sound of thousands of bees, and these hundreds of thousands of sharp arrows shot fiercely into the 200,000 Hun iron horsemen who rushed over with a whistling sound that broke through the air.
The Hun army had no shields, and there was no protective armor every day, and hundreds of thousands of sharp arrows fell into the army, which immediately caused countless screams, and at least half of the cavalry were shot and fell off their horses and died.
