Conquering the enemy

Conquering the enemy

Those who arrived were the main force of 15,000 mounted Huns commanded by King Yutang and the boy servant Tu Yan.

The arrival of the two men saved the Zuo'an King's tribe, which had collapsed.

"The whole army assembles...the whole army assembles..."

King Zuo Aoqian took the opportunity to gather his troops.

In just over half an hour of fighting, King Zuo Aoqiang's troops suffered nearly a thousand casualties.

In fact, when the two armies faced each other head-on, the Huns suffered few casualties.

Most of them were killed or wounded during the rout, and many of the dead soldiers died at the hands of their comrades.

While King Zuo Aoqian was gathering his troops, the Han army had also regrouped under Guo Kai.

"What should I do, Lord?"

The officers asked Guo Kai.

"Fight and leave!"

After Guo Kai thought for a moment, he decided to use himself as bait to hang the Huns and wait for the arrival of Zhang Yue's main army.

Guo Kai's idea is good, but will the Huns really do what he wants?

…

On the other side, the Huns have also set up camp.

In the big tent, King Zuo Aoqian angrily stabbed the tables in front of him with his knife.

"Why should King Aoqian be upset..."

Tu Yan was different from last time. This time he actually took the initiative to persuade King Zuo Aoqian.

King Zuo Aoqian muttered a few words, poured himself a large glass of wine, and drank it.

After he finished drinking, King Yu Tuan asked him about the battle.

King Zuo Aoqian sighed, "This Han army should not be underestimated..."

"The Han army is not only well-trained, but also has far better equipment than Li Guangli's..."

King Yu Tuan heard this and said, "King Zuo Aoqian, the equipment of the Han army in the Western Regions is really stronger than the main force of the Han army?"

When he first sent out troops, the person sent by King Otu mentioned that the Han army in the Western Regions was well-equipped.

He didn't take it to heart at first. In his opinion, it was normal for the Han army to be well-equipped.

Looking at all the countries in the world, there is no country whose military equipment can compare with the Han army.

The Han army's ability to defeat "one Han enemy and five barbarians" depends on its well-equipped equipment!

Now hearing King Zuo Aoqian say this again made him vigilant.

"King Zuo Aoqian, please tell me everything you know!"

King Yu Ting no longer put on airs at this time, and even took the initiative to pour a glass of wine to King Zuo Aoqian.

King Aoqian sighed, "The Han army is really too rich. Not only do everyone wear armor, but the long swords in their hands are all made of fine steel. However, the swords in the hands of the warriors are difficult to block their blows..."

King Yu Ting was surprised, "Are they all made of fine steel?" he asked rhetorically.

King Zuo Aoqian saw that King Yutang seemed to be disbelieving, but he got up and ran out of the account.

Not long after, he took out a long ring-headed sword used by the Han cavalry and a pair of armor.

"Look, everyone, this is the weapon and armor of a Han soldier who was killed by the king's personal guards..."

Everyone gathered around to take a look, and all gasped.

"King Zuo Aoqian, is this really the equipment of Han soldiers?"

Looking at the armor and equipment in front of him, even Tu Yan couldn't sit still.

King Zuo Aoqian said with certainty, "It is definitely a piece of equipment for a pawn!"

Tu Yan stepped forward and picked up the armor and looked at it. Although the armor looked simple, it was made of a single piece of refined iron.

He weighed it in his hands a few times and said, "At least 20 kilograms of iron should be used!"

"How come the Han army has so much iron?" a Qianqi commander exclaimed when he heard this.

Tu Yan sighed, "Last year I heard that the Han army was making iron in Yanqi, and could produce thousands of kilograms of iron every day. I thought it was just nonsense, but I never thought that it was actually true..."

At this time, a thousand cavalry commander could not bear it any longer. He stood up and said, "Why don't you try this armor!"

King Yu Ting didn't hesitate when he heard this. He directly drew out his sword and struck it on the armor with a "clang" sound.

I saw that the armor only had a dent, and it was not penetrated.

King Yu Ting took a look at the sword he had spent a lot of money to find from the west, and saw that there was an obvious gap on the edge of the sword.

Although he had expected it, he still couldn't help but frown.

He didn't speak, and silently picked up the extended ring knife on the table.

He took a look first and said, "It is indeed made of fine steel..."

"Look for two sheep," King Yu Ting ordered.

Soon someone led two sheep to the outside of the tent.

King Yu Ting didn't say much, strode out of the camp and came to the two sheep.

He swung his long knife and easily chopped off the heads of the two sheep.

He carefully observed the ring-headed long sword and found no gap.

"Here comes the leading cow!"

He ordered again.

Soon the guards brought a cow.

King Yu Ting swung his sword again, and this time he chopped off the bull's head, but there was only a small gap in the sword.

"Everyone, let's take a look!"

King Yu Tuan handed the long knife to the person behind him.

Everyone couldn't help but try the long knife.

"If the Han army is so equipped, how can the warriors fight against it?"

A Qianqi Commander said in annoyance.

King Zuo Aoqian sighed, "Not all Han armies are equipped like this. The Han army's Yicong and soldiers from other countries still use the original Han sword..."

When everyone heard what he said, there was no joy on their faces. Instead, they fell into silence.

If the Yi Cong of the Han army and the soldiers of other countries already have the same equipment as the elite Han army, then the chance of winning this battle will be even slimmer.

"Maybe this Han army is the only one with such equipment!" A Qianqi commander finally broke the silence.

The young servant captain sighed, "The Luntai Han Army is the real elite main force of the Han Army in the Western Regions..."

Although he did not finish his words, everyone already understood what he meant.

The big tent fell into silence again, and a heavy air filled the entire tent.

I don’t know how long it took, but King Yu Ting finally spoke.

"Everyone, we must not fight a decisive battle with the Han army this time..."

"Your Majesty is wise..."

All the Qianqi Commanders let out a long sigh.

King Zuo Aoqian said hesitantly, "What about the Outuo Department?"

King Yu Ting stabbed the knife in his hand on the ground in a irritated mood.

“The only thing left to do is to let King Outo wish for his own happiness!”

That night, Guo Kai and others were still discussing how to attract and harass the main force of the Huns tomorrow.

The Xiongnu King Yu Tuan had already quietly left camp with his men overnight.

In order not to be discovered by the Han army, they deliberately threw extra firewood into the bonfire when they left, causing the bonfire to burn all night.

Some light cavalry were also left in the camp, deliberately creating noise so as not to be discovered by the Han army and the army retreated.

The next day, just after dawn, Han army scouts came to Guo Kai camp to report.

"The Huns have all retreated!"

…

On the other side, the Oute King's tribe, which was accompanied by many herdsmen of cattle, sheep and horses, was finally besieged by Zhang Yue in an unknown place north of Wutu Valley.

At this time, King Otu used camels and vehicles to form a defensive formation, struggling to resist the Han army's attack, and looking forward to the early arrival of reinforcements.

It's a pity that he can no longer wait for reinforcements...
