Chapter 391: Upper Horse to Lower Horse


The Han soldiers were ecstatic., 20,000 Hun cavalry, including the king of Hutu himself, the results of this battle are so rich that people dare not imagine, when they think of this, every soldier is enthusiastic, even their eyes are red, screaming, looking at everything wants to cut twice.The entire Han army fell into an extremely excited mood, not only Gongsun Rongnu and others beat the drum one after another to ask for battle, but Li Guang in the rear also urged Liang Xiao to move the car formation as soon as possible, so that the cavalry could attack.Liang Xiao was also very uneasy, but not excited, but nervous.The trapped beast is still fighting.This is the elite cavalry of the Hutu tribe, not an ordinary Huns.Once they launched a fierce attack on the Han army, even if the Han army had an advantage in foot combat, it would be a disastrous victory to be able to achieve the final victory.In case of a loophole, let King Hugh Tu escape, it will be a heavy loss.For Li Guang, if the casualties are too great, he is likely to not be able to seal the Hou.There are very strict rules for military merit, not only to ensure that the number of beheadings exceeds a certain number, but also to ensure that the casualties are not too large.Otherwise, no matter how many beheadings there are, it will not be considered a military achievement.As far as the overall situation is concerned, if the casualties are too great, they will not have the spare strength to rush to Henan, the strategic goal of the Son of Heaven cannot be realized, and the mood will definitely not be good, not only will Li Guangfenghou's wishes be more ethereal, but his status in the eyes of the Son of Heaven will also be affected.Liang Xiao quickly weighed it, and strictly ordered Gongsun Rongnu and the other three captains to strictly guard their positions and not act rashly, and then rushed to the front of the cavalry formation in person.Li Guangduan sat on the back of a war horse, his face flushed a little abnormally.Seeing Liang Xiao, he shouted dissatisfiedly: "What the hell are you doing, don't command in front of the formation."

What did they do here, and defeated the attack of the Huns.I'm good at fighting back.Cut off the head of the king of Hugh. ”"General, don't rush."

Liang Xiao jumped off the horse, walked to Li Guang's side, and reached out to grab the head of Li Guang's mount."

How can you not be in a hurry" Li Guang glared at Liang Xiao and stretched out his hand to point at the eager knights behind him."

You ask them, which one is not in a hurry" Jin Ji brandished his war knife and laughed: "Isn't it, Liang Junhou."

We are all waiting for the order to attack, and we will kill some of the Huns. ”Liang Xiao ignored him, leaned over to Li Guang's side, and said in a low voice: "General, before the big meal, you must always have an appetizer."

King Hutu has been blocked here, and he can still run or not, do you want to warm up first" Li Guang was puzzled: "Warm up" Liang Xiao turned his head to look at Gaolan Mountain in the north and picked his chin."

General, do you think King Hugh Tu will bring no baggage.Just kill it like this" Before Li Guang could speak, Jin Ji slapped his thigh.shouted: "That's right, the Huns' baggage is still behind, just to take it." ”Li Guang suddenly realized.King Hutu pursued all the way here, and his baggage troops were still behind.It stands to reason that they should have arrived in the past half a day, but they have not appeared, and there is only one possibility: they felt that their strength was insufficient and ran away.Twenty thousand cavalrymen ate horses, which is not a small number.If this baggage can be recaptured, it will also be a windfall for the Han army that is about to go out to fight, and it can greatly reduce the pressure on logistics."

Who is better to send" Li Guang hesitated, although the baggage team that robbed the Huns was very tempting, but how could it be compared to King Hutu catching King Hugh Tu, so that he could hold the marquis firmly in his hands.As soon as he saw Li Guang's expression, Liang Xiao knew that he had come to the right place.As the main general, Li Guang is restless like a hairy young man, which is not a good thing.He is already enthusiastic, it is impossible to have the patience to entangle with the Huns, let him stay here, he will most likely attack at all costs."

Such an important task, who else can complete it except the general" Liang Xiao said with a smile: "I strongly recommend that the general attack in person." ”"I" Li Guang's eyes shrank, half of his eyebrows raised, and said with a smile: "Boy, I am the main general, how can I leave the battlefield lightly" Liang Xiao hurriedly waved his hand, signaling Li Guang not to think too much."

General, the Huns still have more than 10,000 horsemen, and you think too highly of me if you can kill General Hutu with only these 4,000 foot soldiers.General, the two sides are evenly matched, and it must be a bitter battle, not only to see who is braver, but also to see who holds out longer.We can't carry enough baggage for a few days. ”Li Guang suddenly understood Liang Xiao's intentions, and couldn't help but blush.He turned his horse's head and said in a loud voice, "Well, I'll leave it to you."

I'll come when I go.You can keep a good eye on King Hugh, and if you let him escape, I won't spare you. ”"General rest assured, the people are in the position, and King Hutu can't escape."

Li Guang laughed and rode away.The drums of war sounded, and the six thousand elite horsemen immediately followed Li Guang out of the battlefield and galloped along the river valley in the direction of Gaolan Mountain.Liang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, returned to the position, and gave another order, ordering all the foot soldiers to strengthen the position and prepare to hold it.Li Guang left, Liang Xiao was the supreme commander here, Gongsun Rongnu and the others did not dare to slack off, and immediately took action, according to the previous training, all the carts were locked together.In order to secure the cart, stones were brought from the slopes and valleys on both sides to hold the wheels against it.Seeing that the Han cavalry disappeared into the valley, but the foot soldiers were wholeheartedly strengthening their positions, and had no intention of taking the initiative to attack, King Hutu was even more uneasy.He chased in a hurry, and the baggage team was all lagging behind, and never followed.With only the dry food they carried with them, they could only last two or three days at most.Once the food is exhausted, the morale of the army will inevitably be shaken.At this moment, he was not afraid to fight with the Han army.If the Han army takes the initiative to attack, he still has a chance to live.However, the Han army was holding the position, and if he wanted to leave, he could only attack the length of the Han army with the shortness of the Huns, and the casualties would inevitably be heavy.King Hutu was anxious, and while adjusting the formation and preparing for another battle, he sent people to investigate the situation of the position on the south side.Half an hour later, the herald returned.The situation in the southern position was even more unfavorable, and the Han general Li Xi led 8,000 foot soldiers to block the valley mouth tightly, and the water could not be drained.If the Huns wanted to leave, they had only wings and flew out like eagles in the sky.King Hugh Tu was desperate.He gave up all illusions, concentrated his forces, and stormed Liang Xiao's position.Liang Xiao commanded the Han army to stubbornly resist and not give an inch.Fighting in formation was originally the strength of the Han army, Liang Xiao and Li Xi together with these foot soldiers for more than half a month of intensive training, at this moment, the Han army gave full play to its advantages, and the dense rain of arrows made the Huns complain bitterly, and suffered heavy casualties.Even if some Huns were lucky and rushed through the arrow array and came to the front of the car formation, they were not the opponents of the Han soldiers who were armed with halberds and swords and shields, and they were cut down in front of the formation.The morale of the Han army was like a rainbow, and they repelled the attacks of the Huns again and again, but the losses were well controlled.Liang Xiao ordered the three captains to take turns in battle, and each time they repelled an enemy attack, they would retire to rest, drink and eat.Those with more serious injuries should be concentrated behind the battle, bandaging their wounds, treating them in time, and doing everything possible to reduce casualties.Just when Liang Xiao commanded the infantry to block the Huns, Li Guang discovered the Huns' baggage team.As Liang Xiao estimated, the Xiongnu generals who led the baggage team learned that King Hutu was blocked in the valley by the Han army, and immediately knew that something was not good.He wasn't worried about the safety of King Hugh.In his opinion, King Hutu had 20,000 elite cavalry, and it was expected to break through the position of the Han army, and the difference was only in the size of the casualties.But the baggage team can't, without the protection of the main force, they simply don't have enough self-protection ability.Once these burdens fell into the hands of the Han Chinese, King Hutu would definitely kill him.Therefore, without saying a word, he turned around and ran, crossed the Gaolan Mountain, and withdrew to the pasture of King Hutu in the north of the river, waiting for news from King Hutu.Just when he thought he was safe, Li Guang led six thousand elite horsemen to kill the river.He knew that the main force of King Hugh Tu had been blocked in the valley, and no one could be his opponent at this moment, so he was unscrupulous, drove straight in, went deep into the hinterland of the Huns, and soon found the traces of the Huns.The Huns couldn't dodge, so they had to fight hard.As soon as the two sides engaged, the Huns found themselves in an unexpected predicament.The Huns were brave and ruthless, and made a living by robbing the booty, and whoever grabbed it was whoever, so the strong were willing to be the main force, and no one was willing to guard the baggage.Although the Huns who protected the baggage also had five or six thousand horsemen, their combat effectiveness was average, and they could only ensure that the baggage was not attacked by the enemy.Now, the main force of King Hutu was blocked in the mountains by the Han army, and they had no reinforcements to count on, so they could only rely on their own strength to deal with the Han army.But in the face of these carefully selected Han knights, they are no opponent at all.A hundred paces away, before the Huns could draw their bows, the crossbow cavalry shot hundreds of powerful arrows, killing nearly 100 Huns who rushed towards them.The Huns were caught off guard and fell off their horses one after another, and the routine mutual shooting came to naught.Taking advantage of this opportunity, the assault cavalry wearing heavy armor and holding spears and halberds roared up and rushed to the front, with sharp halberd blades and spearheads piercing the skin armor of the Huns, harvesting the lives of the Huns like cutting wheat.Under their cover, the light cavalry with excellent archery drew their strong bows and fired indiscriminately, shooting one Hun after another off their horses.The Han army cooperated with each other and tore apart the positions of the Huns, leaving blood all the way.Li Guang galloped on his horse, the string was like a thunderbolt, a sharp arrow left the string, and the Huns fell from the horse with arrows one after another, and there was no enemy.In just two charges, the Huns suffered heavy losses, nearly a thousand people fell, and the formation was also full of holes and messy.Seeing the ferocity of the Han army, the Huns did not dare to fight again, threw down their baggage, turned around and ran, like birds and beasts.Li Guang immediately ordered a pursuit.The war drums sounded, the assault cavalry scattered the formation, the light cavalry rushed out, the crossbow cavalry also drew their swords, and then covered the killing, chased the north, and wantonly killed yznn:
