Chapter 116 Qian Qi Juan Ping Gang

The centurions under Kasmu came forward one after another to ask.

"General, what should we do now?"

The way Kasmu came up with now was to use the Huns' cavalry to carry out harassing attacks on the Han army.

However, the cavalry was not something he could command.

He had no choice but to turn his attention to the Hun Commander Baiqi, who was supervising the battle.

He asked in a low voice, "General Lan, the Han cavalry is attacking us now. I wonder if the general Lan can help?"

Lan Ling, as the leader of the Huns' hundred cavalry, naturally understood what he meant. Although he was not very willing, he also knew the consequences of letting the Han army rest and recuperate calmly.

"General Kasmu is welcome, but I only have 200 cavalry, so it's hard to do anything!"

Kasim was overjoyed when he heard this, "I want the cavalry general to know that we, the Scythians, are also bow-wielding people, and there are not a few good cavalrymen in the army. As long as the cavalry general is willing to attack, I can help the cavalry general."

Hand!"

Nalan Ling was also overjoyed when she heard this, "It shouldn't be a problem."

After the two discussed it, Lan Ling began to summon his Hun cavalry.

Kasimu also selected 300 knights who were good at riding from the Zhu Hu coalition forces and incorporated them into Lan Ling's army.

After a short period of time, Lan Ling personally led more than 500 cavalry and approached the Han cavalry from both sides.

Lan Ling originally wanted to do some training first, but Kasimu was in a hurry, so he had to attack in a hurry.

Fortunately, his purpose was not to engage in a decisive battle with the Han army, but to cover Kasmu's flanks and prevent Han cavalry from attacking.

In his view, this task is not difficult, and does not require a strict formation. It does not matter if the training is a little bit rough.

Instead, he was thinking more about how to bring these soldiers under his command after this battle.

Lan Ling himself is also the leader of a small tribe, so he naturally wants to continue to grow his tribe.

Lan Ling's cavalry began to move, and Kasmu commanded the legion to slowly move forward.

"Haha...God help me!"

When Li Si saw the actions of the Hu coalition forces, instead of panicking, he was overjoyed.

In fact, it wasn't just him, everyone in the Han army, including Du Bo and hundreds of generals, were also extremely happy.

They are not afraid of the enemy attacking; what they are afraid of is that the enemy will not attack.

If Zhu Hu never comes out, that will be a big trouble.

Although the Han army was strong, it only had a thousand cavalry, while the Hu people had nearly three thousand.

"Ming Gong, let's attack!" Everyone asked for a fight.

"good!"

"Second and third sons prepare for battle!"

"The left and right teams attack..."

Li Si saw the enemy's movements and sent two groups of cavalry to fight against the Huns' cavalry.

The Han cavalry brigade continued to stay where it was, waiting for the enemy to reveal its flaws.

At this time, a man named Liu Yi in the Han army was muttering silently.

"Be invincible first, then wait for the enemy to be victorious. The invincible lies in oneself, but the victorious lies in the enemy... It turns out that this is the case, I understand!"

The Han and Hungarian sides dispatched not many cavalry, but the battle was still brutal and fierce.

Both sides are light cavalry, and their main weapons are cavalry bows.

The Han army was victorious because they were well-equipped, with compound bows in their hands, which had greater range and power than the Huns' soft bows.

The Huns were superior in riding and archery. After all, the Huns were a nation on horseback.

They have lived on horseback since childhood, and their riding skills are naturally better than those of the Han army who became monks halfway.

"Boom...boom...boom!"

Both sides kept firing arrows at each other, with arrows flying in the air. From time to time, soldiers were hit by arrows and fell from their horses.

The Huns' cavalry and archery skills were indeed stronger than those of the Han army's cavalry.

The Han army was hit more by arrows, but more Huns fell.

This is the advantage of the Han army in equipment. The Han army's arrows can easily penetrate the Huns' leather armor.

Unless the Huns shot at the vital points of the Han army, they could not cause serious harm to the Han army.

"Warriors, retreat!"

Lan Ling, who suffered heavy losses in the confrontation, wanted to attack the Han army directly.

But after hesitating for a moment, he gave up.

At this time, he was still at least 600 steps away from the main force of the Han army. No matter what reaction he made, the Han army had enough time to react.

What's more, less than half of the cavalry in his hands are Xiongnu elite cavalry, and the rest are actually equivalent to the level of ordinary herdsmen.

After hearing Lan Ling's order, the Hu cavalry quickly retreated.

At this time, the infantry phalanx commanded by Kasmu also became less regimented after marching for a certain distance.

After some observation, Li Si felt that the Marquis of Fire was almost done, so he decisively issued a new order.

"Second and third sons, form cavalry formation!"

Following Li Si's order, the Han army quickly gathered into formation.

"What kind of formation is this? Is this the legendary Che Xuan formation?"

Since the battle between the Han army and Kang Juguo, the name of Chexuan Formation has spread throughout the rivers in the Western Regions.

Kasmu looked at the Han army in the distance, feeling uneasy in his heart.

Nonetheless, he still issued the order.

"Protect!"

Under the command of Kasmu, the Hu army formed a defensive formation.

He planned to defend firmly first, wait for the Xiongnu reinforcements to arrive, and then switch from offense to defense.

…

Li Si looked up at the sky and sighed softly.

"Second and Third Sons, it's time to kill the enemy and make meritorious service..."

"Enter!"

As the order was issued, the first to take action were the sudden cavalry of the Han army. Their purpose was to use powerful bows and crossbows to disrupt the enemy's formation.

Once the enemy's formation changes, it's time for the lances and cavalry to show off their power.

Because the assault cavalry did not need to charge directly into the formation, they did not conserve their horsepower, but charged directly towards the square formation of the Hu infantry regiment.

Soon the Han army's cavalry suddenly advanced within 50 steps of the Hu army.

However, they did not open their bows to shoot arrows, but held a strange spherical object.

"Prepare to meet the enemy!"

When the Hu people were preparing to avoid collision, the Han cavalry suddenly split into two about 15 steps away from the square formation and bypassed the front.

And threw the ball in his hand into the enemy's formation.

"What is that?"

The foreigner was wondering when he suddenly noticed that the ball started to smoke.

Soon, thick black smoke and a foul smell filled the entire square.

"Witchcraft...witchcraft...this is the witchcraft of the Han people!"

Almost all the soldiers in the phalanx panicked. Although the centurions in the formation tried their best to control it, the formation still became loose.

To make matters worse, the Han army's assault cavalry, who had thrown away the poisonous smoke balls in their hands, had already replaced their bows and arrows, and immediately started shooting around the phalanx.

Under the double blow, the originally neat phalanx had become chaotic.

Just when the barbarian coalition army was confused and confused.

"Enter!"

At this time, Li Si seized the opportunity and gave the order to the spearmen to attack.

The Han army's spearmen and cavalry rushed out from behind the smoke in neat and tight formations like evil spirits.

The already chaotic Hu infantry were completely unable to resist.

He was crushed and killed by the Han army's cavalry as if they were chopping up melons and vegetables.

The Huns who were responsible for covering the flanks were also shot at by the Han army's sudden cavalry.
