Chapter 199 Bloody Battle in Nameless Valley 3
Legan did not expect that after installing that inconspicuous stirrup, the combat effectiveness of his cavalry would actually reach a higher level. He could suddenly jump over the opponent's head from such a short distance without changing his body shape. For a moment, he was overjoyed.
, ordered loudly: "Give them all to me! Let these cunning Central Plains people test the strength of my warriors on the grassland today!"
The Hun cavalry behind them also quickly moved forward after Legon's order. Seeing that the opponent's spear team could no longer cause harm to them, the Huns were very sure in their hearts, knowing that now was the time for a one-sided massacre.
.
Zhou Xing led the army back step by step. Watching the Huns rush up to cut off the heads of several soldiers and then roar away, and the next group rushed up to continue killing. Zhou Xing's heart was filled with guilt and anger.
Guilt is because his command was not good and the soldiers were killed by the opponent's sword, anger is
Attack the Huns. "Prepare to the west, let go!" Guo Quanzhong was still calmly directing the crossbowmen to hold down the corners of the formation to prevent the Huns from raiding in from both sides. Once the Huns cavalry broke through one side, the entire formation would collapse.
, Guo Quanzhong did not dare to slack off at all, and always paid attention to the movements of the Huns.
"Lao Guo, I don't know when General Meng and his reinforcements will arrive. We can't support it anymore." Zhou Xing saw a wave of Huns' cavalry being repelled. When they could finally take a rest, he looked around him
Guo Quanzhong said.
"I guess it's fast. It's been almost two hours since the beacon was lit in the valley. It should be almost the same time since the purge army set off and arrived here. Get ready to the east and let go!" He answered Zhou.
If possible, Guo Quanzhong still pays attention to the movements of the Huns' cavalry and issues orders in time. But now that the Huns have left the valley, the space for dodge has become larger, and the threat of crossbows is no longer very great.
"General, the arrows of the crossbowmen are almost exhausted." A soldier came to Guo Quanzhong and said.
"It seems that the reason why the Huns keep raiding from both sides is to consume our arrows. Once our arrows are exhausted, I'm afraid their real attack will begin." Guo Quanzhong said worriedly. He knew what the Huns were thinking.
, but it cannot be cracked, because only by constantly shooting arrows at them can they slightly block their offensive, but this cannot be sustained for long.
After two more rounds of attacks, everyone was about to lose their defense. Suddenly, the rumble of horse hooves came from the distance. Zhou Xing and his two men were shocked, and they were directing the Huns cavalry to attack Zhou Xing continuously.
Legang, who launched the attack with his formation, felt nervous. He didn't know who was coming, but whether it was reinforcements from the Central Plains or people from other Xiongnu tribes, they were all his enemies, so he once again ordered the cavalry to attack
The Fusu Army launched a frontal attack.
"General Meng, it seems that the Huns sent out a lot of troops this time. General Zhou and the others suffered heavy losses." Han Xin saw the appearance of both sides from a distance.
Meng Tian pointed the long sword in his hand and said: "The whole army charges, it's time to let these Huns know how powerful we are, and completely defeat them!"
After listening to Meng Tian's order, the 10,000 cavalry immediately increased their horse speed to the fastest. Among them, those with superb riding skills calmly took off their crossbows and aimed them ahead, waiting to attack the Huns once they reached a place within the reach of the crossbows.
One fired an arrow, while the other soldiers drew their swords and straightened their spears.
The Huns suddenly saw tens of thousands of cavalry charging from a distance, and they were panicked. But when they saw that the cavalry coming were all cavalry from the Central Plains, their panic calmed down. When they thought about it, the cavalry from the Central Plains and themselves
It was still far behind. But what happened next
But it was beyond their expectation. When they were still a hundred steps away, hundreds of crossbow arrows were fired towards them. The Huns were not prepared for a moment, and hundreds of cavalry were shot to death. But
Before they could react, the Central Plains cavalry had already rushed in front of them.
The method Meng Tian and others originally thought of was to have Zhou Xing's 10,000 horses trap the Huns in the valley, and then the reinforcements brought by Meng Tian would go around them into the valley to fight the Huns. Unexpectedly, the current situation is different.
It was different, but the cavalry still went around from both sides of Zhou Xing's infantry and launched an attack on the Huns. As soon as the cavalry from both sides met, the Huns were sure that they could
The mentality of winning has also changed, because this cavalry is no worse than them in terms of riding skills and strength, and the weapons in their hands are much better than those of the Huns cavalry. In addition, one side is a new force, and the other side has already fought.
After nearly two hours, the Huns cavalry were no longer as good as the cavalry led by Meng Tian and Han Xin, both in terms of physical strength and vigor.
Legan saw that one hundred of his cavalry had fallen before the opponent had even rushed in front of them. Then when the two sides fought, they were unable to gain an overwhelming advantage. This puzzled him. But then he saw that his cavalry had fallen.
When he began to gradually retreat under the pressure of the new cavalry, he couldn't believe his eyes.
At the same time, he had already begun to think about retreating. So far, he had lost nearly 2,000 troops. If he continued to fight, he might have to leave all his family assets here. Thinking of this, he hurriedly ordered the cavalry to return to the valley.
At the same time, he ordered the soldiers who stayed in the valley to use bows and arrows to delay the Central Plains cavalry following behind.
After all the cavalry retreated into the valley, Legang began to organize his team and prepared to fight out in one go. Meng Tian on the other side also recalled the soldiers who were chasing the Huns. "It seems that the Huns already knew that they could not defeat us.
We are planning to break out." Han Xin said as he watched the behavior of the Huns. At this time, the sky was getting brighter, and they could see the behavior of the Huns clearly.
Zhou Xing had also arrived at Meng Tian's side at this time. After hearing what Han Xin said, he hurriedly said: "We can't let go of this Xiongnu cavalry. Their horses are actually equipped with stirrups unique to our army. If we let them go,
They escaped, and I'm afraid the Huns cavalry will be even more unstoppable in the future."
"They also have stirrups?" Han Xin was stunned at first, but then he understood, "They are really enemies on a narrow road. They should be the Huns who met our army attacking Xianyang at the edge of the Great Wall that day, otherwise they would not have this equipment.
"
"Even if it weren't for this reason, we can't let them leave. This is what we had already thought about before we sent out troops. We must let the Huns know how powerful we are so that they don't dare to easily cross the Great Wall and come in to plunder." Meng Tian said coldly.
.
"General Zhou, order your soldiers to separate their formations and let our cavalry fight the enemy head-on, while the infantry will attack from both sides." Han Xin hurriedly said to Zhou Xing. Zhou Xing hurriedly nodded and left.
"If we completely want to surround them here, I'm afraid these Huns will fight to the end with the mentality of fighting to the death. Why don't we take killing them as the ultimate goal and drive them to several directions where our army is ambushing. General Meng, what do you think?
?”
Meng Tian nodded and said: "You are thinking the same thing as me. If we push too far, our army will suffer too much loss. Since I have arranged several ambushes, I think these Huns will not be able to escape no matter what."
Following Legang's order, more than 7,000 Huns cavalry roared and rushed towards the 10,000 cavalry brought by Meng Tian. Meng Tian's army was well prepared. When the enemy rushed to a place where they could, thousands of crossbow arrows were fired straight at them.
They rushed towards them, and then the cavalry also rushed towards the Huns with the crossbows. The two armies collided, and the men and horses fought. For a time, the whole world was filled with shouts and screams, and people kept falling from their horses, and then
They were trampled to pieces by the chaotic war horses. At the same time, the infantry led by Zhou Xing and Guo Quanzhong on both sides also launched an attack on the two wings of the Huns. Under attack from three sides, the Huns suffered heavy casualties. At this time, they
They no longer care about taking the food out, they just want to break out of the siege and save their lives.
When people's desire to survive is extremely strong, they often burst out with amazing strength. Although this Huns cavalry was at a great disadvantage in terms of numbers, because of their desire for survival, they actually broke through the formation of Meng Tian's army, allowing them to
They were able to escape. However, the Huns paid a high price to break through this gap. Only less than 4,000 people rushed out, and everyone was injured.
Seeing the Huns fleeing to the west, Meng Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he had no intention of letting them go just like that. He ordered the cavalry to pursue them in order to force them into his ambush, thus
Destroy them all in one fell swoop.
Legang led four thousand defeated troops and headed west. At this time, he could no longer distinguish the road. He only knew that he had to stay away from the Central Plains people who were pursuing them. Now he even regretted it in his intestines. He regretted it.
He did not listen to Tiger's advice and waited for other tribes to attack first, and then came to snatch food after learning the layout of the Central Plains army. Just when he regretted it, with the sound of a bang, thousands of ambush troops rushed down from the mountain.
He went straight towards his own army and didn't even give him time to regret.
At this time, these Huns had completely lost their fighting spirit. As soon as they saw this posture, without Legan's order, they turned around and went in the other direction. Because they were cavalry, the group of ambush soldiers who rushed out could only attack them.
A few people who reacted slowly were killed, and then they had to watch helplessly as they ran in the other direction.
But not long after the Huns ran away, another ambush came out and dozens more people were killed. After turning in several directions, only 3,000 of the 4,000 people were left, and these 3,000 people were also
Already exhausted, the cavalry led by Meng Tian had already caught up from behind. At the same time, the ambush troops were slowly surrounding them. This group of Huns' cavalry had reached the end of their rope.
Seeing that all of his cavalry were panicking, Legon knew that he really couldn't escape this time. He raised the knife in his hand and shouted to the cavalry: "Come on, my warriors! Now we can do this
The only thing I want to do is to let these Central Plains people know how powerful my Huns warriors are." The cavalry also knew the situation, and they all drew their weapons and prepared to fight the enemy to the death.
