Chapter 18 The Bloody Battle in the Nameless Valley 2

A troop of ten thousand soldiers and horses was lying in ambush not far from the valley. When the Huns' cavalry rushed towards the valley, the sound of the horses' hooves shaking the earth had already woken them up. This team had left from Jiujiang County to rescue Fusu that day.

Guo Quanzhonghe there

He was led by Zhou Xing. At this time, his whole body was hidden in thick armor and he felt like he was almost out of breath. Zhou Xing, who was on the side, saw his appearance and teased: "Lao Guo, you are the same after all.

Why is a general so embarrassed?"

Guo Quanzhong smiled bitterly and said: "Hey, I thought I was quite agile back then. Unexpectedly, since I got my wife, I started to gain weight. Now I can barely wear this armor."

Just as the two were exchanging words to calm their nervous moods, a soldier walked up to them and said: "Two generals, the Huns have begun to attack the valley, and the beacon fires in the valley have also been lit."

Zhou Xing immediately jumped up from the ground and said loudly: "Gather the entire army and head to the valley immediately to attack the Huns from behind!"

At the same time in Yunzhong City, Han Xin also received a report from the soldiers. Han Xin said coldly: "The news about the Huns was received so quickly. We only prepared for three days and they immediately sent troops."

Meng Tian then ordered: "Beat the drums immediately and gather the generals. I will personally lead the troops to kill all the Huns who invade our border!" After saying that, he went straight to the lobby here, followed closely by Han Xin.

After the three-tone drum, all the generals had arrived. Meng Tian stood at the top of the hall, wearing iron armor. His right hand held the long sword hanging on his waist, and his left hand held the command flag. He looked down at the crowd and said:

"Where is Zhang Wu?"

Zhang Wu immediately came out and responded loudly: "The general is here!"

"I order you to lead five thousand men and horses to ambush in the north of the valley. Once any remaining Xiongnu soldiers escape to you, they must all be killed!"

"The general has received the order!" Zhang Wu accepted the order and went to gather his troops.

"Where is Qiudao?" Meng Tian continued to ask.

"The general is here!" Another general came out.

"I order you to lead three thousand troops to ambush outside my city in Yunzhong County. Once the Huns flee into my city, you and the soldiers who defend the city can surround and kill them. Don't let a single Huns escape from this place."

"Yes!" Qiu Dao also took the order and left.

Meng Tian continued to assign tasks in this way, and soon all the generals were assigned. This time he said to Han Xin: "General Han, you and I will lead 10,000 troops to the valley to support." Han Xin hurriedly accepted the order.

As the city gate opened, groups of people drove out of the city one after another, heading to their respective assigned locations. Meng Tian and Han Xin led 10,000 elite troops straight into the valley. These 10,000 people were all cavalry, so they could face each other in person.

You won't suffer too much against the Huns.

At this time, the sound of killing was loud in the valley. When General Zhou Xinger rushed to the valley with 10,000 horses, the Huns were busy putting tens of thousands of stones of grain on their horses. Fusu, who was guarding the valley,

The soldiers were all wiped out at this time. After all, the warriors guarding the valley were no match for the Huns in terms of numbers and combat effectiveness. Once they were allowed to break through the defense line, these people would have no choice but to fight to the death, and the result of a fight to the death would be that all of them died.

.

Although Legan's team was defeated on the grassland, they still had the style of the cavalry on the grassland. Each cavalry was equipped with two or three horses, so they could put food on the horseback.

Unexpectedly, he had no war horses to use. When he saw countless Central Plains warriors appearing at the entrance of the valley, the Huns immediately put down the food in their hands, jumped on their war horses one after another, and lined up in formation to prepare for a battle. Legang looked outside and nearby.

Thousands of people and horses, against those around them

Tiger said: "You are right. These cunning Central Plains people have indeed prepared a trap. Unfortunately, they underestimate us. How can 10,000 people be my opponent with 10,000 warriors?" He said haha.

Laugh loudly and use your hands

He pointed his scimitar at the mouth of the valley and shouted: "Warriors, charge at me! As long as we kill them, we can go back with this food." When all the Huns cavalry heard his order, they all shouted and urged.

He moved his horse and rushed forward.

When Zhou Xing saw the Huns carrying grain unscrupulously in the valley, he knew that all the thousand men and horses guarding the valley had been killed. He also saw that the Huns cavalry numbered ten thousand, and he couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't expect that the first one

The one who attacked was actually the most powerful of these Huns. But now it was the moment of decisive battle, and he could not tolerate the slightest timidity. He quickly ordered the whole army to set up their formation and wait for the Huns to rush out.

When they found this valley, the generals had already thought about the situation where the enemy was inside the valley and they were outside the valley. So based on the characteristics of this small entrance and large interior, they came up with the strategy of letting the enemy attack first.

Once the enemy attacks outside, they will inevitably crowd at the exit, and those outside will naturally use bows and crossbows to greet them. Sure enough, as soon as the Huns saw them appearing, they immediately began to gather and rushed out.

Zhou Xing's face was full of murderous intent and he said: "The crossbowman is ready. Once the enemy comes into range, he will release arrows for me. The archer will wait for the crossbowman to finish shooting in one round before shooting!"

"Chichi!" Thousands of arrows went straight towards the Hun cavalry. They hurriedly used their superb horse skills to avoid and parry the arrows, and at the same time urged their horses to rush forward at a faster speed, because they knew that once

When he rushed in front of the opponent, the effect of those bows and crossbows was completely lost. As he was on horseback and condescending, those Central Plains people were no match for him. However, the arrows shot were too dense, and nearly a hundred of the Huns' cavalry were still among them.

Arrows, when the men and horses in front fell down, they also hindered the speed of the cavalry behind. At this time, they had already rushed into the range of the bow. Another round of arrow rain hit, and nearly a hundred cavalry fell. Look.

Delegang felt heartbroken. Now that he had one less man, he had nowhere to replace him. He had already lost nearly a thousand people in today's operation. If the loss continued, he might be regarded as an annexation target by other tribes.

He was the target. Thinking of this, he hurriedly shouted and ordered the cavalry to rush forward quickly.

After two rounds of arrow rain, the Huns' cavalry had already rushed forward, and the role of the crossbowmen could only end there. At this time, Guo Quanzhong's voice reached the ears of the soldiers: "The spearmen took a step forward,

The crossbowmen retreat!"

This team of 10,000 people were veterans of Meng Tian's northern attack on the Huns. They knew how to face the Huns' charge. After hearing Guo Quanzhong's order, the spearmen immediately raised their spears and moved forward.

The spearhead was aimed at the charging Hun horses. As long as they charged up again, those horses would be pierced by the spears due to inertia. At the same time, the swordsmen behind had already raised their swords, preparing to attack the cavalry who fell off their horses.

A knife was coming.

Just when the spearman was about to see the spear pierce the horse's body, and when the swordsman was about to raise his sword and slash at the Huns, the cavalry at the front suddenly let out a loud shout, and then their horses jumped into the air.

, and at the same time, the knives in their hands slashed at the spearmen holding the spears. Everything happened too fast, and before everyone could react, a large number of the spearmen in the front row fell. As the spearmen moved,

After falling down, the speed of the cavalry behind became faster, and thousands of cavalry came over like lightning.

This was what Zhou Xing and Guo Quanzhong had expected. The Huns had never used such powerful tricks before. For a while, they could only watch the Huns charging into the formation. The soldiers had to hold weapons and fight with the Huns.

They were forced to fight hand-to-hand, but just as Legan thought, once the cavalry rushed forward, these soldiers could not fight with the flexible cavalry. In a short time, nearly a thousand people were killed by the charging cavalry, and the Huns

The cavalry only killed about a hundred people.

Zhou Xing was still thinking about the astonishing scene just now. When he and Meng Tian defeated the Huns before, the spear team had always been the only way to restrain the cavalry, but unexpectedly it didn't work this time. Suddenly he saw the Huns' horses hanging on their sides.

One thing he was very familiar with was the stirrups made by Fusu people. Only then did he realize why these cavalrymen just

He was able to make that amazing move. It turned out that they also had stirrups that could support their bodies. His expression changed a little at this moment. The Huns' riding skills were already very superb, but now that they have these stirrups, they are even more powerful.

, their skills on horses were even more powerful than before, and after a while they killed the army and retreated.

It turned out that after losing nearly ten thousand people in the battle between Legan and Fusu on the edge of the Great Wall, Fusu was very puzzled. Because Fusu finally defeated him with cavalry. Thinking that the Huns relied on cavalry to gallop across the grasslands, if the Central Plains

People's riding skills are so superb, wouldn't the Huns be wiped out soon? Thinking of this,

Legan brought a small group of troops back to the battlefield, but he discovered that the stirrup mounted on the side of the horse was left on the dead horse of Fusu's army. After trying it on his own horse, Legan

Gangcai knew the benefits of this thing. So he had people cut down trees and imitate the style of stirrups and put them on horses.

When Zhou Xing knew the reason, his face turned pale. Originally, the Huns were better at fighting on horseback than the Central Plains people. Now that they had stirrups, the Central Plains people were no longer their opponents. Thinking of this, he

These Huns must not be allowed to leave here.

As the Fusu Army retreated, the Huns' cavalry had all rushed out of the valley. They shouted and rushed towards the Fusu Army. The Fusu Army could rely on their formation to continuously retreat and reduce their own casualties. However,

As the Huns continued to charge, they could no longer maintain the formation. Perhaps the formation would completely collapse in just two rounds, and then these thousands of troops would be completely lost to the swords of these Huns.
