King Hutu was desperate, and the morale of the Huns fell to the bottom and was about to collapse.If the swastika was on the grassland, 20,000 of the most elite cavalry would be enough to dazzle the same number of Han troops, but once they were blocked in the valley and forced to storm the Han army's chariot formation, their advantage was suddenly lost and they lost the upper hand.Every futile impact was a heavy blow to their psyche, draining their already small confidence.In four days, dozens of attacks, the Huns paid nearly 10,000 casualties.What's worse is that they ran out of food and had to kill their wounded horses to satisfy their hunger.War horses are not only the legs of the Huns, but also the lives of the Huns.King Hutu sat in the saddle, bowed his head, and rubbed his haggard face again and again.There was a dead silence on the battlefield, the Huns did not attack, and the Han army did not counterattack.Compared to this silence, King Hutu would rather hear the heart-rending shouts of killing, and would rather hear the war drums of the Han army shaking the mountains.If the Han army takes the initiative to attack, he still has a chance to live, and if he faces off like this, there is only a dead end waiting for him.King Hutu raised his eyelids and looked at the battle flag in the distance, his heart beating in shock.In the Han army on the opposite side, there was an opponent that he hated to the core, but he was impressed.Once upon a time, he had laughed at the father and son of the Evil King, and he had despised the arrogance of the Right Virtuous King and Wusun's Kun Mo Hunt, but now, he felt that they were not wronged at all, and when they encountered such a cunning and calm opponent, few people could retreat with their whole body.For four days, Liang Xiao only defended and did not attack, and did not take a step forward.No matter how King Hutu showed weakness and tempted, Liang Xiao refused to fight back, he just firmly held his position, stifled King Hutu's hope of escaping, and blocked him in the valley.He seemed to prefer to wait for King Hugh to starve to death rather than fight.King Hugh Tu has experienced a hundred battles, and it is the first time he has seen such a ruthless and cruel opponent.Compared to Liang Xiao.Li Xi at the southern end of the valley appeared to be more proactive, and after repelling the Hun attacks many times, he brazenly counterattacked, advancing the position for more than ten miles.It further compressed the living space of the Huns, and thus paid the price of more than 2,000 people.If Biku hadn't given up the battle plan in time, and instead stuck to his position like Liang Xiao, he was almost surrounded by the Huns.Now, more than 10,000 Han troops rely on the chariot formation.Blockade the Huns to death in the valley.King Hugh Tu wanted to cross the mountains and escape from the path.There are some paths in the mountains, which are not suitable for large armies, but they can be walked.However, in this way, King Hutu will become a lonely man and will no longer be able to survive on the grassland.Rather than this, it is better to surrender to the Han people, and maybe you can also make a marquis and retain some strength.Before that, there were no fewer Huns who surrendered to the Han Chinese.It is said that life is not bad now.This thought lingered in King Hutu's mind for a long time, lingering.At this moment, there was a burst of cheers from the Han army position opposite.King Hutu slowly raised his head, and an ominous dark cloud swept over his heart.The Han army, which had been silent for so long, suddenly cheered, and it was definitely not a good bald head for the Huns.After a while, a few words of despair rang in his ears."
Li Guang is back."
Seeing Li Guang again, Liang Xiao was very happy.It can be seen from Li Guang's face that this time he attacked, Li Guang must have won a big victory.This was to be expected.With the strength of Li Guanghe and six thousand elite horsemen.If even the baggage troops of the Huns can't handle it, Li Guang, a famous general, is too fake.This is simply a crushing battle, even if it is not Li Guang's army, it will be replaced by an ordinary general.As long as you are not stupid to a certain extent, the victory is all the Han army's."
Congratulations to the General."
Liang Xiao greeted him, arched his hand, and laughed loudly: "The general's harvest must be not small" "Hahaha" Li Guang couldn't suppress the joy in his heart and laughed loudly.He turned over and dismounted, and patted Liang Xiao's shoulder hard."
Boy.This battle is too easy, it's just devastating.The Huns were defeated in a battle, and there was no chewing at all.I have fought for so many years, and it is the first time I have encountered such a weak Huns.If all the Huns I met before were like this, I'm afraid I would have been a marquis long ago. ”Liang Xiao smiled secretly in his heart.You used to pick the main force of the Huns, but this time you encountered a soft persimmon, so you can naturally pinch it."
How can you suffer heavy casualties on your side" "So far, three hundred and eighty-two people have been killed, five hundred and seventy-one people have been wounded, and seven thousand one hundred and sixty-three people have been killed. ”"Such a disparity" Li Guang was surprised and delighted."
When it comes to foot combat, how can the Huns be our opponents."
Captain Han Qianqiu walked over and said with a loud smile: "Liang Junhou, the general is back, shouldn't we fight back Waiting for these days, the brothers are a little anxious." ”Liang Xiao glanced at Han Qianqiu and turned his gaze to Li Guang."
General, what do you see" Li Guang glanced around, and saw that the soldiers had warm eyes and full of fighting spirit, and he was very satisfied.It can be seen that Liang Xiao's command in the past few days is very stable and his morale is very strong, and more importantly, he did not take this opportunity to grab credit, but left the command of the final decisive battle to himself."
Do you have any good suggestions," Liang Xiao smiled."
Now that the general has returned, it is time for a break.However, before starting a general attack, I suggest that you send someone to persuade you to surrender.The Huns had been trapped for three or four days, had run out of food, and now the baggage had been robbed by the general again, and perhaps they would surrender to the general.If we can persuade us to surrender, we can also reduce casualties and prepare for the second phase of the battle as soon as possible. ”Li Guang pondered for a moment and nodded again and again.If you can force King Hugh to slaughter without a bloody battle, then of course it would be great.The trapped beasts are still fighting, and the Huns still have more than 10,000 people, and they really have to fight hard, the threat is not small, and the casualties of two or three thousand people are inevitable, and they may even lose both.They discussed it for a while, and then sent an envoy to persuade King Hutu to surrender.Seeing Li Guang reappearing, King Hutu was already mentally prepared, knowing that his general trend was gone, and fighting again would be a dead end.Without much hesitation, he accepted Li Guang's request, laid down his arms, and surrendered to Li Guang.Li Guangxi sent someone to inform Li Xi to accept the surrender of King Hutu, and on the other hand, he sent someone to count the spoils of war and pocket the weapons and horses of the Huns.The biggest gain is the war horse, more than 30,000 war horses, at least 10,000 cavalry can be equipped, providing the possibility for the next stage of the battle to attack Henan.There was no time to wait for the detailed statistics to come out, Li Guang wrote the document of the victory, and ordered someone to send it to Chang'an by fast horse.The Son of Heaven stood under the porch, watching Wei Zifu and Wei Shao'er whispering on the side, a little absent-minded, and he didn't even notice Wei Shao'er's soft eyes."
Your Majesty" Han Yan walked in quickly, with a happy face and a green bag in her hand.The Son of Heaven's eyes suddenly lit up and greeted him."
It's a document from Longxi" "Yes. ”Han Yan smiled brightly, and her already handsome face was even brighter at the moment.When the Son of Heaven saw it, his mood inexplicably improved."
Could it be that the preparation is in place, and the opportunity to attack is ripe" "It should be, I see that the knight who delivered the letter is in a good mood, it should be good news." ”"Is it" The Son of Heaven opened the green sac and swept his eyes, his eyebrows suddenly raised, and he strode out of the hall, and said as he walked: "Wang Sun, go and send Yan Zhu, Mei Gao and others to the Chengming Hall to discuss matters." ”Han Yan hurriedly followed."
Your Majesty, it's time to attack" The Son of Heaven took two steps and suddenly stopped.He glanced back at Han Yan and couldn't hide the ecstasy in his eyes."
It's not just that you can attack, it's a great victory in the first battle, Li Guang and Liang Xiao forced down King Hutu, captured 10,000 Huns, and got nearly 30,000 horses, and they immediately stopped, his eyes burning."
No, not right away, they should already be on their way to Henan at this moment.Wang Sun, we must hurry up and order Han Anguo and Cheng Buzhi to attack immediately, encircle the Aries King and the Loufu King, and take Henan in one fell swoop. ”Han Yan was dumbfounded.This news was too shocking, Li Guang and Liang Xiao forced King Hugh to slaughter, and also got 30,000 war horses, how could it be that the Son of Heaven saw Han Yan stunned, he was a little anxious, flew up, and kicked Han Yan's buttocks."
Don't go yet" Han Yan woke up like a dream and rushed away.After a meal, the Son of Heaven rushed to the Chengming Palace, and Yan Suke, Wuqiu Shouwang, Mei Gao and others were already waiting.They had already gotten the general news from Han Yan's mouth, and they were all happy.In this all-out counterattack, each of them is a participant, although they did not come to the battlefield in person, it is impossible to be crowned a marquis with military merits like Li Guang and Liang Xiao, but the reward is indispensable.At this moment, even Yan Suke, who had always been at odds with Liang Xiao, was very excited.After reading the good news, confirming that the news was correct, and understanding the specific situation, they were even more overjoyed.Li Guang, Liang Xiao and others not only forced the surrender of King Hutu, but also captured more than 30,000 horses, the biggest shortcoming of the Han army's lack of horses has been made up, and there are enough troops to move the next stage of the campaign, which is an unexpected joy that everyone expected.Victory in the first battle is a good sign.Mei Gao took the lead in the queue and said loudly: "Your Majesty, King Hutu has been captured in a battle, and Hexi is at your fingertips, this is the heavens to protect the Han, congratulations" "That's right, the shame of sixty years can finally be washed away in one day." ”"If the next war goes well, recapture Henan in one fell swoop, and expel the Huns from the Great Wall, who else dares to question Your Majesty's wisdom Who dares to say that Your Majesty is not using people properly" Yan Zhu said loudly: "Your Majesty, thirty years of peace, please start today." ”The Son of Heaven was extremely relieved and laughed loudly.After urgent consultations, they unanimously agreed to notify Han Anguo and Cheng Buzhi, who were on standby in Yanmen and Shangjun, as soon as possible, to immediately attack and surround King Aries and King Loufu, so as to prevent them from escaping.After the discussion was completed, the Son of Heaven immediately summoned Prime Minister Tian Wei and other important ministers.Hearing that Longyou won a great victory, the 20,000 elite cavalry of King Hugh Tu were wiped out, and a large number of war horses and baggage were captured.At dusk, the knight with the edict rode out of Chang'an City and ran to Shangjun and Yanmen.Chang'an City is quiet and peaceful, unaware that a huge counterattack has kicked off.
