Chapter 189 The victory of the feudal lord
Guo Kai issued the order at the right time, and Zhao Yi responded quickly.
At this time, the Han army's rebels were constantly attacking the retreating Huns cavalry from the flanks.
The Huns had no choice but to retreat from the other side, so that they were directly facing Zhao Yi's troops.
Zhao Yi's troops did not use wall-mounting tactics this time, but chose a sharp arrow formation that was more conducive to penetration.
Facing the attack of the Han army, the attacking Huns cavalry panicked.
They suffered heavy casualties under Zhao Yi's attack.
When they returned to their main formation, they had already lost nearly a hundred people.
"Damn it!"
"This king will definitely take the life of that Han general..."
King Huyan pointed his riding whip at Zhao Yida, who was galloping on the battlefield, "Whoever takes the head of the Han general in this battle will be rewarded with two beauties...three pieces of cloth..."
The defeat in the first battle made King Huyan pay more attention to the Han army facing him.
However, he was still full of confidence. In his opinion, the disadvantage just now was just due to his carelessness.
He adjusted his mentality and issued a series of orders one after another.
Under his command, the Huns quickly reorganized their formation.
This time he prepared to send his elite troops to attack and defeat the Han army in one fell swoop.
King Huyan divided his army into two teams, the front team was archers and the back team was euphorbia cavalry.
His combat intention was to attack the Han infantry phalanx with bows and arrows from the front line.
After the Han army's infantry square formation was in chaos, they used the halberd cavalry to penetrate the Han army's infantry formation in one fell swoop, and then flanked the Han army's right wing.
King Huyan’s tactics are actually also common tactics among the grassland peoples.
When the Mongols invaded Europe, they used this tactic to defeat the Russians, Poles and Hungarians.
After Guo Kai saw the Huns' arrangement, he already understood his opponent's thoughts.
"court death!"
He just curled his lips.
"After so many years of fighting, these barbarians still haven't made any progress..."
"Woooooooo..."
With the sound of the trumpet, the Huns launched a new attack again.
This time the Han army did not continue to defend, but chose to fight attack with attack.
"Dong dong dong!"
The war drums of the Han army sounded.
The Han army and Yi Congqi, who had already gathered together, formed a cavalry formation amidst the sound of war drums.
"Second and third sons, come in!"
The Han army's 600 lancers lined up in four rows, formed four walls, and pressed against the Huns.
King Huyan, who saw the cavalry wall for the first time, was surprised and asked, "What kind of tactic is this?"
In his opinion, how could the cavalry line up so densely? Once the horse stumbles, wouldn't it be chaos soon?
At this moment, the cavalry of the Han and Hungarian armies began to speed up.
The rumble of horse hooves hitting the ground makes people's adrenaline soar.
"Boom boom boom!"
The Hun horse archers in the front row, after shooting the arrows in their hands, reflexively wanted to go around from both sides.
But the first column of Han troops riding on the wall had already hit them.
“Bang bang bang”
The Xiongnu cavalry archers were knocked to the ground by the Han cavalry that rushed in like a wall.
The screams suddenly echoed through the entire battlefield.
The Hun horse archers broke through the wall and did not stop, nor could they stop.
Once the wall-mounting tactic is launched, you are invincible. Once you hesitate, you will fail, and failure means death.
"Boom...bang..."
Riding on the wall, he collided with the Hun halberd cavalry in the rear group again.
The first wall of the Han army, which was already at the end of its battle, was defeated in the collision with the halberd cavalry.
But then the second fence rushed over.
This time the Huns' halberd cavalry could no longer bear it.
They fell off their horses one after another and were trampled into pulp.
"how so!"
King Huyan looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief.
The halberd cavalry, for which he had high hopes, was defeated in this way.
The defeat was so quick that it didn't even cause a splash on the battlefield.
A smile finally appeared on Guo Kai's face, and he knew that victory belonged to him.
"All troops attack!"
Under his order, the remaining cavalry of the Han army also launched an attack.
The Huns were defeated like a mountain. King Huyan tried several times to save the situation, but was unable to do anything.
With the defeat of the Euphorbia Cavalry, the morale of the Huns also dropped to freezing point.
In the age of cold weapons, an army with no morale, no matter how well-equipped it is, is just a bunch of chickens and dogs.
What's more, the Han army is better equipped and trained.
"Run away!"
The collapsed Huns cavalry shouted and fled in all directions.
Some panicked cavalry even broke into King Huyan's personal guards.
"Your Majesty, please retreat!"
The guard captain on the side shouted to King Huyan.
"It's a pity that it's too late now!"
Zhao Yi, who was going crazy, had already charged over with a group of cavalry.
Escape is absolutely impossible.
The only way to get rid of the Han army is to kill the attacking Han general first.
"Warriors, kill me!"
King Huyan was also a brave man.
He roared and led his bodyguards to launch a countercharge towards Zhao Yi.
Seeing that the two sides were about to collide in twenty steps.
Zhao Yi suddenly threw a weapon with his left hand.
Bang!
It was an iron bone ball newly equipped by the Han cavalry.
Gu Duo suddenly let go of his hand, his speed seemed to break through the sound barrier at this moment, and he let out an air-piercing scream.
Before anyone had time to react, Guduo had already torn away the distance of twenty steps and hit the target directly!
Guduo hit King Huyan directly on the chest, knocking him off his horse.
"Wan Sheng!"
This blow immediately caused the following Han soldiers to cheer.
The uncertainty about King Huyan's life or death immediately caused the remaining Huns to panic.
Zhao Yi took the opportunity to rush forward on his horse and cut off King Huyan's banner with a single blow.
King Huyan's banner fell, causing the Huns to completely give up resistance.
