Before the two sides contacted each other, the Huns were startled.pbtt

When the two armies were fighting, as the main generals, the scouts had generally good eyesight, but they were not much stronger. For their own safety, they could only observe the other party's positions from a distance and distinguish the opponent's strength by relying on the level and number of flags.

This is how the Huns judged the strength of this Han army. This was also a habit for many years. The scouts did not think too much about it. The generals' evaluation of the strength of the Han army was also based on previous experience. When the two sides approached, they found that there was a big error in their predictions.

First of all, the Han army had obviously too many war horses.

The number of cavalry in the Han army was limited, and the equipment of war horses was even worse than that of the Huns. The Huns had rich resources in war horses, and a knight would usually be equipped with two to three war horses. If it was a short-distance battle, it would not require too much baggage, and it was generally standard for one person and two horses. The Han army had few horses, so it could only be equipped with two to three percent of spare horses in addition to one war horse per person.

However, the number of war horses in front of him was astonishing, and the number of horses prepared was no less than that of the Huns. At a rough look, it should be a luxurious configuration of three horses.

The large number of horses in reserve means that the Han army has enough horsepower while maintaining a fast march. It is not as exhausted as they imagined and can collapse with one blow.

Secondly, the war horses of the Han army were not the Han horses they thought, but were almost all the Hun horses, and some were even taller and stronger than the Hun horses.

During the years of Han-Hungary War, the reason why the Huns were able to maintain the advantage of cavalry was certainly related to their living habits of being soldiers of the whole nation, but in the final analysis, they had a clear advantage in the resources of war horses. Central Plains horses were mainly pack horses, suitable for pulling carts and carrying loads, but not suitable for riding. As war horses, they were far less excellent than the Hun horses. Even the top war horses produced in border counties were at best equal to ordinary Hun horses.

But now, the Han army rode all the Huns horses, and even the horses were prepared. The Huns' advantages in the quality of war horses were gone.

In other words, the Han cavalry in front of them are not inferior to the Huns in terms of quantity and quality in terms of war horses, and they are even slightly better than the Huns. In addition, their advantages in equipment have surpassed the Huns.

This was something the Huns had never expected in advance. Now they discovered this, but it was too late.

The arrow was on the string, and the Huns had no chance to turn back. Besides, the people who discovered this were just those who rushed in the front. Most people did not realize this at all, and were rushing over happily and couldn't stop at all.

The sound of trumpets and war drums sounded in a row, storming in the sky.

The war horses galloped, the Han army and the Huns quickly approached, and the two sides were 150 steps apart. The crossbow knight who rushed in the front pulled the crossbow machine and shot the first wave of arrows.

The three-stone crossbow has a range of 120 steps, and it can be shot on the galloping horse's back, and the range can be further increased. When the arrow is shot into the Huns' formation, it still has enough lethality. It is enough to shoot through the Huns' leather armor. However, the Huns' bows are only 60 to 80 steps. Facing the first wave of attacks from the crossbow knights, they are not prepared at all. They are not even ready for the cavalry and shields before they can even be raised.

Nearly a hundred knights were caught in the arrow, and a flaw appeared in the Huns' formation.

Before the Huns could react, the crossbow knight controlled the war horse under his crotch, slowed down, and rushed to the front from the light cavalry holding a strong bow. The light cavalry was still catching and shooting three or four arrows in one breath. He used a more dense array of arrows to severely damage the Huns again, expanding the flaws.

The two sides were thirty steps apart, and the light cavalry also slowed down. The assault cavalry with spears and halberds ran wildly. They rushed to the front and rushed into the Huns formation unstoppable.

Three hundred steps away, in just a few dozen breaths, the Han knights relied on their exquisite cooperation to complete the three-combo attack, giving the Huns a head-on blow.

Just as the Huns were attacked one after another by strong bows and hard crossbows. Hundreds of people were caught in the arrows, and their originally smooth formation was stagnant, and they couldn't help but feel a little panic. Under such circumstances, they met the assault cavalry head-on and suddenly turned over and flew around. Some of them had not had time to put away their bows and arrows, and although some pulled out their swords, they faced the spears and halberds in the hands of the Han army, they had no ability to resist at all, and were stabbed to the ground one after another.

The assault cavalry ran wildly, waved spears, slaloms, and mowed grass to harvest the lives of the Huns.

Under their cover, the light cavalry and crossbow knights hidden in the formation shot freely, suppressing the Huns with all their might.

The light cavalry pulled the bow in their hands and shot when they saw the Huns, but the crossbow cavalry carefully selected and selected valuable targets as much as possible. The crossbow power was strong and far away, and he was aimed at the mountain, and his hit rate was much higher than that of ordinary strong bows. Under their shooting, many Hun warriors and officers were shot and killed before they could see their shadows, losing their combat effectiveness.

The Han army was unstoppable and advanced straight into the Huns' central army.

Gongsun Rongnu stood on the back of a war horse with superb riding skills, shooting arrows while shouting excitedly. He knew the adaptation of the cavalry, but it was the first time he saw the effect of the adaptation. In fact, this was also the first actual combat of the adaptation of the Han cavalry after the adaptation. The effect was so good that Gongsun Rongnu was ecstatic.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The sound of war drums became even more intense, and the Han army was as strong as rainbows, and they fought bravely.

Liang Xiao raised his eyes and looked at Gongsun Rongnu standing on the horse's back in the distance, and shook his head with a smile. He couldn't hear what Gongsun Rongnu was calling, but judging from his dancing hands, the war should have gone smoothly. However, this guy was too ostentatious. Standing on the horse's back, wouldn't he be the target of the Huns?

At this time, the two wings also contacted the surrounding Xiongnu. The Han army did not entangle. After shooting arrows with the Xiongnu, they broke off contact with the Xiongnu and let the Xiongnu encircle behind them and rushed forward with all their might. Two teams of Xiongnu met behind the Han army, but found that the situation was not as optimistic as they imagined. The Han army advanced very quickly, and in a blink of an eye it dropped them five or six hundred steps.

Not to mention chasing the Han army, it would be great if you could catch up.

Both the Xiongnu commanders felt something was wrong. They were both long-standing generals, and they fought with the Han army twice. It was the first time that such a strange situation was encountered.

"Is this... a Han man?" asked one of the commanders.

"This... from the perspective of the flag and armor, it should be true. But..." Another thousand-man touched his face. "But how could their tactics be faster than our Huns?"

"I think so, too."

The two looked at each other, puzzled.

But their little Wang Quqiu didn't have time to think about these things. Before he was mentally prepared, the Han army had already appeared in front of him, with a ferocious face, his eyes shining, and he killed him like a wolf or a tiger. Obviously, these Han knights saw his battle flag and came for him.

Qu Qi didn't have time to think about it, and immediately ordered a fight. The guards beside him pulled their bows, raised their swords, made a silent scream, and went up to them, protecting Qu Qi Qi.

"Kill!" Gongsun Rongnu also saw Qu Qi and issued an order to attack almost at the same time.

The two sides fought in a ball, with swords and spears raised at the same time, and blood splattered everywhere.

Qu Qiqi's personal guard camp was well equipped and had stronger combat power than ordinary Hun cavalry. The assault cavalry rushed along the way felt pressure. However, they were not discouraged, but were even more excited, shouting in unison, and rushing desperately. The spear was trapped in the enemy's body and could not be pulled out, so they pulled out the battle knife. The war horse fell to the ground, and they dismounted and fought with shields.

For a moment, the sound of horns, war drums, killings, and swords and shields intersected, mixed together. Arrows sped over their heads, and from time to time, some people fell to the ground, but no one could take a look. They roared, rushed forward and went straight to the canal.

Qu Qi was blocked from his way, and there were chaotic crowds in front of him. The horses were lingering, rushing against each other, making waves of neighing, but there was nowhere to go. More and more Han soldiers surrounded Qu Qi Qi, slashing with knives and shooting with arrows, and continued to die.

Gongsun Rongnu also brought the guard camp to kill him. The two sides were entangled and fought hard like life and death enemies.

Seeing the stagnant battle flag in front of him, Liang Xiao smiled helplessly. He knew that Gongsun Rongnu must have seen a valuable goal and forgot his due responsibilities. He ordered to adjust the direction, avoid the battlefield that was already in chaos, maintain speed, and continue to rush.

The cavalry lost its speed, which was worse than the infantry. However, in terms of infantry battles, the Huns were not the opponents of Gongsun Rongnu.

The sound of war drums sounded, and Liang Xiao led the main force to adjust the direction, flew past Gongsun Rongnu and Quqi, and rushed towards the Xiongnu's rear formation.

Qu Qi saw Liang Xiao from a distance, and was anxious, but he was entangled by Gongsun Rongnu and could not escape. Without command, his subordinates became even more chaotic and were killed by the Han cavalry led by Liang Xiao.

Listening to the sound of horns one after another, Qu Qi was flustered and was not prepared for it. A personal guard next to Gongsun Rongnu shot the door with a crossbow and fell to the ground. Gongsun Rongnu was ecstatic and shouted in and rushed in. He rushed to Qu Qiqi, cut off his head with a knife, and then chopped down Qu Qiqi's battle flag.

Gongsun Rongnu carried Qu Qi's head and jumped onto a bareback war horse, broke away from the battle circle, and ran wildly.

"Kill the General"

A personal guard pulled Qu Qi's battle flag and followed Gongsun Rongnu's horse tightly, shouting loudly: "Catch the flag"

The sound of war drums shook again, and the Han soldiers raised their swords, cheered in unison, and roared like thunder.

The Huns were very angry.

The two commanders who were striving to catch up heard the roar of the Han army, and they both held the horses, watched everywhere, and were hesitant. They were all confused. They originally thought it was an easy victory, but the result was beyond their expectations. The victory was still an easy victory, but the winner was not them, but the Han people.

What's going on?

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from the west, and a big flag rushed out of the horizon, and countless Han knights rushed over like a tide.

The Huns no longer dared to fight, turned their horses and fled in scattered places.
