"Has Meng Tian finally left?"

When he heard this information in the Huns' tent, the leaders of the three nobles laughed and were filled with comfort.

"Meng Tian led 30,000 cavalry troops to help Yunzhong. It will take as long as half a month to go back and forth. By then, we will have crossed the Yellow River long ago."

The leader of the Lan family said with a laugh.

"We will send troops tonight without further ado."

The leader of Huyan clan said. This proposal was quickly approved by everyone.

For the Huns, the northern border was desolate and had large deserts. They could not be compared with the Hetao area with abundant water and grass.

At this moment, there were troops of the Qiulin clan, Qiao clan, Dangyu clan, Han clan, Li Ji clan, Juqu clan and other surnames around the military tent of the three Xiongnu clans. At this moment, they all sent more or less young and strong tribes to participate in this war.

With an order, the leaders of the tribes of the surnames withdrew from the camp and went to their tribes to gather troops.

The leader of the tribe of the three surnames of the Xiongnu sat in his seat. The leader of the Lan family had a gloomy face and said, "Have the troops of the Chiu family come yet?"

The leader of Huyan clan snorted coldly and said, "They claim to be relatives of the Shanyu and did not respond to the call."

"These bastards, since we helped the boy Maodun to the position of Shanyu, their noses were almost tilted to their eyes. I didn't think about it. If we hadn't saved their lives, they wouldn't know where they were now?" The leader of the Subu clan said angrily.

At that time, Touman died at Wuche City. Inside the Tuman clan, all the relatives of Touman, who had some strength, had their own troops and planned to compete for the throne of Shanyu.

It is precisely because of this that the strength of the Kuru clan was greatly reduced and the tribes of the three Huns took advantage of the situation. The Kuru clan originally controlled most of the fertile animal husbandry land in the Hetao area, but after that civil war, it was unable to take charge and was divided by the three Huns.

Afterwards, the Crown tribe retreated to the north of the Frontier to rest and recuperate.

"Forget it, after this war, when we kill the Qin army, we will turn around and have time to deal with these guys." The leader of the Lan family said disdainfully.

On this night, fires lit up around the continuous camp tents. All the Hun soldiers were screamed from their sleep by their superiors. In the cold, they took out their horse bows and scimitars, pulled out their war horses, and gathered in front of the tribe leaders.

On the vast land north of the border, the cavalry of the Huns began to gather, like thousands of streams, gradually gathering into the sea, and with an unparalleled momentum, they began to march towards Taoshan.

In order to regain the Hetao area as soon as possible, the Huns invested a large number of elite troops. In just three days and three nights, they broke through Gaoque, crossed the Beihe River, and entered Beijue.

A gray falcon passed through the winding clouds and entered the Yunzhong City, bringing the Huns into the Yunzhong Hall on a large scale, and Ying Ziyi's hands.

"Has the Huns finally started?" Ying Ziyi looked at the contents on the silk stick, sat up, waved his hand and retreated from the Hu girl who was dancing.

"Come."

A guard quickly entered the Yunzhong Hall and stood with his hands.

"Call Chen Ping, Zhang Liang and all the generals of the troops."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Ying Ziyi's order was quickly passed to Tiance Mansion. The people who were discussing the war quickly got the news and rushed over.

The 30,000 Xiongnu army surrounded the area around Yunzhong City. Over the past few days, whenever the Xiongnu came to provoke, the defenders of Yunzhong City would shoot and kill them, preventing them from getting close. The Xiongnu lacked the equipment to attack the city and were at ease.

In the Yunzhong Hall, everyone stood quietly.

Ying Ziyi sat on the throne, "It will take not long for the Xiongnu to invade Beijiao, and the prime minister will be about to defeat the Nanhe River. And the time for our counterattack has come. The command of Han Xin and Peng Yue to lead their troops to join forces at Yunzhong City to annihilate 30,000 Hu troops."

"Yes, Your Highness."

....

Yuanyang City.

Yuanyang is a major city in Yunzhong with a population of about 20,000, which is the base for training cavalry. Around them, there are cities such as Beiyu and Wuquan, which are supporting each other and are an important town in the northeast of Yunzhong County.

The Huns had 10,000 cavalry troops here, in order to restrain the troops here and make Yunzhongcheng isolated and helpless.

The terrain around Yuanyang is flat and has vast grasslands, suitable for farming and herding, but now it has become a horse farm where Hu people ride horses.

In a few days, the Huns concentrated their troops and attacked Yuanyang City several times, but none of them succeeded.

For the Huns, once Yuanyang City was captured, Beiyu and Wuquan would inevitably fall into an isolated situation, and it would only take a moment to conquer them.

The Huns mastered these three cities, which was equivalent to obtaining a logistics base. While obtaining a large amount of supplies, they could also effectively block reinforcements from Yanmen County, Dai County and other places, making Yunzhong City completely a turtle in the jar.

Therefore, unlike the main Huns who shed horses and shed sheep when they reached the border of Yunzhong City, this partial division of the Huns devoted all their efforts from the beginning.

Cao Shen, the magistrate of the former Yang County, was Ying Ziyi who was plundered from Fengpei land.

At first, these people were not convinced, but after a long time, they gradually became convinced. Cao Shen knew that Yuanyang was of great importance, so he devoted all his strength to defend from the beginning.

When the Huns attacked the city, he personally stood on the city wall and directed the crossbow army guarding the city to counterattack.

The large-scale use of crossbows is the most classic example under the Dibei manufacturing system.

Unlike archers, crossbowmen only need to undergo simple training. A large number of crossbows and arrows created from various weapon workshops can quickly flow into cities on each border. After a long period of training, the military and civilians on the border can quickly form combat power once the large number of crossbows in the arsenal are allocated to each military and civilian.

For big cities like Yuanyang, the crossbows and arrows stored in the arsenal are much higher than those in other cities.

Depending on the type, the power and firing rate of crossbows are also different. Generally speaking, the firing rate of crossbows is slower than the bow. The stronger the crossbow, the slower the firing rate of crossbows. However, on the wall of Yuanyang City, three crossbowmen are in a group, loading and shooting conversion, effectively making up for this shortcoming. It forms an effective fire suppression on the siege of the Huns.

In other words, as long as there are enough crossbow arrows, Yuanyang City will not fall.

"This group of birdmen, this battle is really atrocity."

Cao Shen was on the city wall, observing the Huns' camp. A complaint came into his ears.

Cao Shen didn't need to look at it, and he knew who was coming. There was no one else except Yuanyang County Magistrate and Fan Kuai, who was also a Pei person, who was a member of the Pei person.

Fan Kuai is using troops and is happy to attack but not defend. He has been staying in the city for the past few days, but he is very unhappy!

"Don't worry, there will be changes in the past or two days." Cao Shen comforted.

“Change, what changes?”

"The most elite ghost prison gaze under Your Highness has not appeared on the battlefield yet!" Cao Shen breathed out a long sigh and said meaningfully.

Fan Kuai's eyes lit up, as if he understood something.

"Look!"

At this time, soldiers pointed to the mountain pass in the northeast direction. A distant place surrounded by clouds and mist suddenly appeared.

"It's really here!" Fan Kuai shouted loudly.

As the figures gradually approached and their vision became clear, in the eyes of everyone, the black-armored cavalry rushed over like a tide, and their faces were full of creeping bronze ghost faces.

The Hun troops outside Yuanyang City seemed to have also watched the crowd, and they began to gather urgently. With the reinforcements in the past two days, about 4,000 cavalry were arranged in the northeast of the Daying.

A confusion appeared on Cao Shen's face.

In today's world, cavalry is far from mainstream in the army, and chariots still occupy a large proportion. Although the empire attaches importance to the use of cavalry, it is only used as an auxiliary to cooperate with infantry and cavalry.

But this ghost prison cavalry is different. Its bright appearance is clearly provoking.

From a distance of the city wall, the Huns' generals seemed to respond.

With a violent roar, the more than 4,000 cavalry began to rush towards the Ghost Prison Garrison.

On the field, two people stirred up smoke and dust in the sky, and the trembling feeling of the earth could be felt even by the defenders far away in Yuanyang City Wall.

The cavalry scattered, but the tactics of advancing were the same.

The Ghost Prison Eagle Cavalry and the Huns' war cavalry approached, and they changed their formations and turned into conical formations to prepare for the charge.

Unlike the Huns' war cavalry, the team of the Ghost Prison Left Cavalry is more orderly, the distance between cavalry is almost the same, and the array is relatively wide.

On the field, the two armies began to collide like two sharp knives.

However, compared with the Huns' war cavalry, the ghost prison and the secluded cavalry are a little sharper.

Hundreds of black-armored cavalry led by the leaders rushed into the battle formation of the Huns with their hands holding the long sword of the ring.

They did not entangle with the Huns' cavalry, nor did they care whether they had solved the attack on the Huns' war cavalry. What they did was to rush into the abdomen of the cone formation of the Huns, not care about their own casualties, or even worry about whether the Huns' cavalry behind them would guard against cold arrows behind them. The array of ghost prisons' cavalry was relatively loose, or they deliberately left such a large gap so that the Huns' war cavalry could infiltrate.

When marching and setting up formations, generals often attach importance to the coordination between arrays and troops. Orderly combat can exert greater power.

But the cavalry is different. It is the nature of the cavalry. Even if you set up a cone formation for the assault, you pay more attention to the impact force, and rush up like a swarm, effectively killing the enemy, and then turn around and carry out the next wave of impact until the enemy's troops are dispersed. There is basically no cooperation between the knights and the knights.

But the Ghost Prison Gun is different.

Facing the Huns' war cavalry that rushed over, the black-armored ghost-faced knight holding the ring-headed sword missed his body and gave him to his comrades behind him to deal with it. The knight behind him held a long spear in his left hand and stabbed into the Huns' chest. He then pulled out the ring-headed sword with his right hand, pushed away the blade of the other Huns' war cavalry, and left it to his comrades behind him.

One after another, trust and cooperation, the tactics that only appear on the infantry are used in this cavalry.

"Is this a car hanging array?" Cao Shen said on the city wall.

"Car suspension array?"

"I heard that most of the army formed by Your Highness in the Western Regions were cavalry, and the elites would use this chariot to suspend the formation. Their troops traverse the Western Regions, massacred cities and destroyed the country, and were invincible. It is said that when Wusun joined forces with the countries in the Western Regions to rebel, gathering 100,000 people, they were divided and defeated by His Highness 10,000 cavalry. In the Qilian Mountains, the 10,000 cavalry set up a chariot to suspend the formation, killing the King of Wusun's war cavalry to a great defeat." The deputy general on the side explained.

The chariot hanging formation was quite domineering, and the ghost prison cavalry was like an iron plow. After one charge, the Huns war cavalry broke into two halves.

Later, the back formation changed to the front formation, and without stopping, rushed towards the Huns again.

Fan Kuai, who was on the city wall, was overjoyed and shouted: "Deputy General, let the six hundred cavalry in the city gather and standby in one moment, and follow me to rush out."

Cao Shen did not stop him. He understood that Fan Kuai was not a brave but unscheming person. On the contrary, Fan Kuai had a keen sense of smell than anyone else in grasping the fighter.

With these repeated charges, the Huns' fighting cavalry was declining. The Ghost Prison's Cavalry not only did not waver due to their own casualties, but instead became more and more braver in the battle.

In the eyes of the Huns' war cavalry, the blood energy permeated around the black cavalry seemed to make people feel like they were in a blood prison. Death not only did not make them afraid or confused. On this battlefield, the ghost-faced black cavalry on the opposite side had no sound, and was terrifyingly silent.

With rounds of charge, they mechanically completed the order of killing like monsters without emotions.
