Without any preparation, the Huns were forced by Li Kang and more than ten horsemen to pass through the formation, killing and wounding more than 100 people.Many people only know that something has happened, but they don't know what is going on, and it is when they are suspicious, they can't help but be a little flustered when they see the Han army starting to attack.This is even more true of the tune.Before he could figure out what was going on, he only saw some Han cavalry from the left and out from the right.Seeing the Han army attacking, he naturally chose to avoid it.He ordered the cavalry on the left flank to attack and meet Li Guang.In the habit of the Huns, even a cavalry hedge, not hand-to-hand combat with hand-to-hand combat, but mounted archery, with the two sides separated by dozens of paces, galloping opposite sides, and attacking from a distance with bows and arrows.Repeat it several times, and when one of them is shot out of formation and reveals a flaw, the other side will take advantage of the gap and use the degree and strength of the war horse to collide.Since it is a mounted archery, it will be a tacit choice to place the enemy on your left side.After all, the people who can shoot left and right are a minority, and the vast majority of people are used to shooting left, and since they are Huns, they are no exception.Attacking with cavalry on the left flank can protect the front of the Chinese army, although this is a natural choice, and it is also a conventional tactic that every general will use.The trumpet sounded, and the three thousand horsemen on the left flank began to charge.The two sides are separated by more than 1,000 steps, and there is enough distance.Seeing that the Huns met the battle with the left wing cavalry, the knights of the Han army led by Li Guang also tacitly turned their horses' heads and attacked to the right front, forming a situation with the Huns dozens of paces apart and attacking each other with bows and arrows.The horses galloped, their hooves rumbled, and the horses' hooves trampled on the yellowing pastures, kicked up the trampled dirt, rolled up billowing smoke and dust, and galloped away.The two sides staggered and shot a dense rain of arrows.The arrows staggered in the air, then split apart in an instant, and swooped down on each other.The open space between each other is darkened."
Whoosh" arrows break through the air."
Puff puff" A sharp arrow shot into the body, and blood splashed everywhere."
Plop plop" There are constantly soldiers who fall from their horses with arrows, roll down to the dust, screams, and exclamations.The two sides seemed to be evenly matched, but in fact, the Huns suffered a big loss.In terms of attack ability, the Han army was stronger than the Huns, not only with standard war bows, but also equipped with some arm crossbows.The bow power of these crossbows is about three or four stones, even if there is a horse, it can easily get on the arrow and shoot, the range is half farther than the bow used by the Huns, and it can also aim, and the hit rate is greatly improved, making up for the disadvantages of insufficient shooting.In terms of protective ability, the standard armor of the Han army is all made of fine iron.Although it is only a half-body armor, the arms and legs are not protected, but the important parts of the torso are under protection.More importantly, the Han army wore iron helmets, which had tighter protection for their heads and had more advantages over the Huns.Although many soldiers were wounded by the arrows of the Huns, the number of people who lost their combat effectiveness was very limited.However, the Huns were different, their protection was limited, many of them were still wearing leather armor, and in the face of the powerful arrows fired by the Han army, they were severely damaged, and one-third of the knights who faced the Han army lost their combat effectiveness, and a large number of knights died directly.The two armies were staggered, and no one bothered to think about this, all of them just knew to shoot with all their might, shoot as many arrows as possible before they fell off their horses, and pray that they would not be hit by the opponent's arrows, or at least not seriously injured and disabled.However, as a general, Li Guang always pays attention to these details.He didn't even give his usual attention to the battle, his bow in his hand and some arrows, but most of his attention was on the number of fallen horses on both sides.Although it is not possible to obtain exact statistics, at least it can be seen which is more and which is less.At first glance, Li Guang breathed a sigh of relief.The Han army had enough advantages in attack and protection, this battle was not a close battle, the Han army firmly held the upper hand, and the rest was the command ability of the generals on both sides.In this regard, Li Guang has absolute confidence.The two sides staggered by, and the corpses left in one place, at a cursory glance, can also know that the Huns in leather armor have suffered a lot of losses.However, the Han soldiers did not have time to cheer, and after the last Hun disappeared from their eyes, they turned their horses' heads, changed the direction of the charge, and brazenly killed the left flank of the Hun army.The cavalry on the left flank had already rushed out of the battle formation, at least a thousand steps away from the Chinese army, and the left flank of the Chinese army of the Huns was exposed in front of the Han knights, as if they had opened their arms to welcome the arrival of the Han knights, and how could the Han knights let go of this opportunity.The Huns were not unprepared either.Knowing that the left flank was fighting, the knights on the left side of the Chinese army drew their bows and arrows and prepared to shoot.But they never expected that Li Guang was not riding and shooting this time, but directly charging into the formation, just like Li Dang and others, who directly attacked.This did not conform to the combat habits of the Huns, and even the Han army was very rare.First, it is easy to get stuck in the formation when the opponent has not yet shown defeat, and once the cavalry loses its degree, the advantage will become a disadvantage, and it is easy to suffer heavy losses.Second, in the previous battles, the number of Han cavalry was often less than that of the Huns, and the horsemanship was not as good as that of the Huns.But things are different now.The Han army was equipped with stirrups to make up for the disadvantage in horsemanship, and even hand-to-hand combat was no worse than the Huns, while the Han army's sophisticated weaponry gave them more advantages in hand-to-hand combat.With the forces of the two sides not far apart, the Han army had already gained the upper hand.What's more, the Han army still has a degree advantage, the Huns stood still in place, there was no time to add, and in the face of the Han cavalry that rushed to kill, they had no power to fight back.In particular, Li Kang and others successfully broke through the battle and retreated, which had a completely different impact on the morale of both sides.The Han army was fearless, and everyone was vying to be the first, but the Huns were afraid and cowardly before fighting.After a seemingly decent cavalry shot, Li Guang once again adopted unexpected tactics and caught the Huns off guard.He showed with practical actions that in terms of the command ability of the generals, he was also able to throw the generals out of a Chang'an Avenue.Three thousand Han troops rushed into the Huns' Chinese army and cut off a corner.The Huns were taken aback, the alarm horn sounded everywhere, and there was an uncontrollable panic in the left rear formation.Hearing the alarm, the tone sweated like rain.Li Guang's tactics were unconventional, and he fell into passivity at the beginning of the battle, suffering setbacks one after another.He had a sense of foreboding that he might face a tough battle today.Although he didn't have time to think about it, he immediately ordered the rear army to prepare to flank the Han army and squeeze the Han army out.The generals of the rear army did not dare to slack off, and immediately sounded the horn and prepared to fight.Li Guang heard the horn of the Huns, and immediately gave the order to charge.After cutting off a corner of the Xiongnu army, the Han knights rushed to the rear army of the Huns.Before leaving, he did not forget to sprinkle a rain of arrows, shooting down the rear of the Chinese army.Soon, Li Guang engaged the rear army of the Huns, and the two sides fought together.After successively engaging with the left flank and the Chinese army of the Huns, the degree of the Han knights declined, Li Guang did not fall in love with the war, and ordered to break away at the slightest contact, and the Han knights turned their horses away, and resumed the conventional tactics of galloping and shooting.The Huns breathed a sigh of relief, and also turned their horses' heads, adjusted their directions, and prepared to fight again.In front of them was the Chinese army, which was in tune, and there was not enough space to turn, and for a while people shouted and neighed, and there was a mess.Li Guang turned around in the distance, reorganized himself a little, and soon returned with another kill, and rushed to the rear of the Huns again.The Huns had no choice and were forced to fight.Seeing that the Huns' position was disturbed by Li Guang, the left flank, the middle army, and the rear army were all in a bitter battle, and everyone's attention was on the left side, Wang Hui gave the order to attack in a timely manner, led three thousand elite cavalry, rushed out of the valley, and pounced on the right flank of the Huns.Although there was nothing to be done, he had to order the knights on the right flank to fight.More than 7,000 Han cavalry, flanking left and right, simply leveraged the battle formation of more than 15,000 Huns.Although the troops did not have an advantage, they firmly grasped the initiative on the battlefield, and the advantages of physical strength, equipment, and morale were combined, so that they became more and more brave the more they fought, and they not only did not fall behind, but beat the Huns to the point of embarrassment.The two sides clashed back and forth, and after a fierce battle for half a day, the Huns gradually showed their defeat.They chased for five days, but they had not been able to rest properly, and their physical strength was exhausted.Originally, they wanted to rely on the advantage of their strength to win more, but now it seems that the Han army is far stronger than they estimated.If we continue to fight, not only will there be no hope of victory, but we may also suffer a crushing defeat.Although I hesitated for a long time, I felt that it was better to preserve my strength.If the loss is too great, he will have no status in the future.He ordered a retreat, and the Chinese army took the lead in withdrawing from the battlefield and fled to the northwest.Although he was stunned by Li Guang and had been struggling to deal with it, he forgot a crucial thing: so far, the Han army has not been fully dispatched, and only more than 7,000 Han troops led by Li Guang and Wang Hui have not shown up on the battlefield.When he saw Li Jiao leading three thousand elite horsemen to appear on the hillside and roar down, although he woke up like a dream, he knew that it was all a rehearsal just now, and the real nightmare had just begun.The Huns fought hard for half a day, and they had already exhausted their strength, and their morale had also declined to the extreme.Seeing the sudden killing of the knights of the Han army, the remaining morale collapsed instantly, even if the commanders gave orders one after another, they could not control the situation, and most of the knights began to flee in all directions, and no longer cared about the orders of the commanders.The trees fell and scattered, although there were only more than 1,000 people left around him.Li Jiao waited for a long time, just waiting for such an opportunity, and this opportunity was bought by his father and younger brother at the cost of their lives, how could he give it up.He pulled out his sword, stood on the back of the horse, and raised the knife and roared: "Kill the general" and "capture the flag" The knights of the Han army responded violently, beating the horses and galloping."
Beheading the general" and "capturing the flag" In the deafening roar, the enthusiastic knights of the Han army went down to the mountain and entered the dragon, rushing towards the tune like a bamboo.The Huns were all broken, no one dared to fight, no one cared about anyone, and fled desperately.Seeing this, he knew that the general trend had gone, so he gave up his last effort and fled with the remaining more than 100 guards.Li Jiao stared at the tune and chased after him.Although the personal guards of Tiaozhi mustered up the courage to face the battle, wanting to block the Han army, and buy time for Tiaozhi to escape, but in front of the Han knights who were like tigers and horses, they were like a small stone, and they were rolled up in an instant, without even a splash.Li Jiao caught up with the adjustment, and the knife fell, and he slashed with a knife.The headless corpse of the tune fell to the ground with a bang, and was immediately trampled into a pulp by the chaotic hooves of the horses.Jin Ji flew by, rounded the battle axe, and cut off the big tun with an axe.Daxu fell, and then the battle flag was torn away.The knights of the Han army were like a group of vicious wolves, crying everywhere they went.After easily killing the tune, Li Jiao immediately led his troops into the main battlefield, where there were many Huns, they rushed there.After a day of rest, the strength of the day is all released at this moment.On the battlefield, both the Huns and the Han army were already tired, and the Huns were on the verge of collapse from spirit to spirit, where could they stop their rush.As soon as they saw them, the Huns turned around and ran.Li Jiao and others galloped back and forth, completely crushing the Huns and being invincible.He found Li Guang on the battlefield.Li Guang's mount was hit by an arrow, Li Dang was pulling out the arrow, Li Guang was sitting on the side, panting, and when he saw Li Jiao, he first glanced at Li Jiao's saddle.Li Jiao raised his helmet and shook it, and patted the level on the saddle, overjoyed.Li Guang stroked his beard, his eyebrows fluttered, and he laughed."
The children can be taught, the children can be taught."
As night fell, the battle ended, and the battlefield within a radius of more than ten miles was full of corpses and blood.The Han army began to clean up the battlefield and count casualties.Wang Hui rushed over, and Lao Yuan laughed loudly: "General Li, you are not kind."
After a long time, you left the best opportunity to your son.You say, how can you compensate me" Li Guang got up to greet him, and explained with some embarrassment: "Daxing Order, what I said, you and I are the main generals, and we don't count merit by beheading."
Although the child kills the tune, you also have the credit.You can rest assured, in the credit book, there will never be a lack of your big order. ”"That's pretty much it."
Wang Hui said with a smile.He naturally knew that although Li Jiao killed him, he and Li Guang were the generals in command, as long as this battle was won, even if he didn't kill anyone, he would have merit.If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have been so polite to Li Guang."
When the time comes, Ling Lang will be the marquis, but you can't forget to invite me to drink.""
Don't worry, rest assured, you're a distinguished guest, how dare I forget."
Li Guang patted Wang Hui's shoulder affectionately."
However, if you want to seal the marquis, I'm afraid that you will have to rush to the front, and don't be angry when the time comes."
Wang Hui couldn't suppress the joy in his heart and laughed heartily.Although the final statistics have not yet come out, he also knows that the merits of this battle are not small, nearly 10,000 Huns have been killed and captured, and countless horses, cattle and sheep have been captured, which is enough to support them to fight for another month.A long-cherished wish for many years, this time it has finally been achieved.Wang Hui said with emotion: "General Li, to be honest, if you want to talk about merit, I'm afraid that this merit is neither your father and son, nor my Wang Hui, but the champion Hou Liangxiao."
Without his suggestion to reduce troops, it would have been difficult for us to achieve such an impressive record. ”Li Guangshen felt the same way, and at the same time was pleased:
