General Zuo did not answer directly, "Let's take a look at the situation first!"

"Why don't we wait for the arrival of King Youxian's army before starting the war?"

It was King Nawuchan who spoke!

When everyone heard this, they looked at King Nawuchan as if they were looking at an idiot.

Although King Wuchan felt that the atmosphere in the tent was strange at this time, he did not know why it was so.

At this time, the boy servant captain couldn't help but speak.

"I'm afraid the Han army won't give us a chance to join forces with King Youxian!"

…

Captain Tong Pu was right, when the Han army retreated to Alan Village.

Zhang Yue issued new orders to Han Jiang.

After receiving the order, Han Jiang had already changed his route to the northeast.

He was accompanied by two thousand chariots, five thousand officers, and three thousand cavalry.

Their mission was to cut off the connection between the Xiongnu's western and northern flank armies and the Xiongnu Righteous King.

Zhang Yue’s order to Han Jiang was!

"Before the end of the war, King You Xian shall not let any of his soldiers enter the Bilu Kingdom!"

Han Jiang's answer was also very simple, "If you want to pass through the Youxian King's Department, you must first cut off my head..."

…

In the Huns' formation, General Zuo and a group of Hun kings were observing the situation on the battlefield.

"That's Alan Village!" the young servant captain sighed.

The trusted King Subu on the side also sighed and said, "Yes, that's Alan Village!"

"It was here that King Outuo wiped out the Pulei Kingdom's army in one battle..."

"What a pity. King Ou Tuo was also my strong-armed hero back then. I didn't expect that he would be forced to commit suicide by Zhang Yue'er when he got old..."

Although General Zuo's words were not directed at anyone, they still made King Yu Ting and Captain Tong Pu beside him feel ashamed.

But the two of them had no regrets. If they had not withdrawn their troops that day, I am afraid that their ending would not have been better than that of King Outo.

"The Han army actually wanted to use such a broken border wall to stop our strong Hu cavalry..." King Yu Ting took the initiative to change the subject.

"Don't take it lightly..." General Zuo said, but judging from his expression, it was obvious that he didn't take Alan Village to heart.

"General Zuo, let Xiao Wang's warriors charge forward!"

The newly appointed King Huyan felt that attacking Alan Village was a good opportunity to express himself.

He saw that the walls of Alan Village were in dilapidated condition and thought they could be captured easily.

General Zuo showed hesitation when he heard this. The new King Huyan was only seventeen or eighteen years old. I heard that this was his first time on the battlefield.

"General Zuo, leave it to me..."

King Huyan requested again.

"No! Your troops need to rest first. King Subu will go up first this time!"

After discussing with several other young kings, General Zuo rejected King Huyan's request and replaced him with the veteran general King Xubu.

King Xubu was also a veteran general among the Xiongnu, and he did not lose in several battles with the Han army.

Upon hearing General Zuo's order, he didn't say much and immediately began to rectify his troops.

At noon, following General Zuo's order, the Huns' attack began.

Alan Village is located on a high ground, so when the war first started, the Huns were temporarily in a disadvantageous situation.

Because they attacked from the rear, the Han army was from a condescending position.

In addition, the Han army had a large number of military officers and crossbowmen who were good at defense, so the first two attacks of the Huns were easily repelled by the Han army.

"General Zuo, continue the attack?"

Two consecutive failures gave King Subu hesitation.

"Continue the attack!"

General Zuo looked at the Han army's position with a firm expression.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The trumpet sounded again, and King Subu once again gathered his troops and horses.

"Warriors attack!"

The third attack of the Huns began.

"King Huyan, your archers and cavalry attack immediately to cover King Xubu!"

After the third attack began, General Zuo decided to strengthen King Xubu with King Huyan's troops.

King Huyan agreed, immediately jumped on his horse and ran towards his headquarters.

About half an hour later, three thousand horse archers from the Huyan tribe roared out from the Xiongnu camp.

This time the Huns did not save their horsepower, but ran at full speed as soon as they came up.

King Huyan adopted the suggestion of one of his Qianqi Commanders and used Benshe.

The methods of galloping and guerrilla warfare mainly use the mobility and speed of the cavalry to gather and disperse, advance and retreat. The cavalry shoots the enemy with bows and crossbows while the horses are galloping at high speed, killing the enemy while moving.

.

This requires extremely high levels of horseback riding and archery, as well as a lot of training.

However, this method of warfare is not only beneficial to the survival and continuous combat of cavalry on the battlefield, but also can be extremely effective against relatively fixed targets in the cold weapon era such as infantry, weapons, armored cavalry equipment, and heavy vehicles. Sometimes, it can also

Achieve the purpose of "inducing the enemy to go deeper" and "cutting off the enemy's food routes".

Judging from the ease with which King Huyan's troops can use running and shooting tactics, we can know how elite their cavalry is.

But the Huns were strong, and the Han army was not weak either. The range and power of the Dahuang Crossbow, which had been improved many times by Jiang Zuoying, was more than a little stronger than the Huns' cavalry bows.

Under the attack of the powerful arrow array of the Han army, the Huns' seemingly massive third round of attack was easily defeated by the Han army.

Just dozens of corpses were left in front of Alan Village.

Of course, the number of casualties suffered by the Huns was more than this. Most of the corpses were carried back by the Huns. The only ones left on the ground were those that could not be carried away.

"General Zuo, what should we do now?"

"The Han people are acting like turtles. I'm afraid it won't be easy for the warriors to take over Alan Village..."

"It's better to bypass the Alan village and attack the Han army's camp..."

"You idiot, how do you deal with the Han army's side attack when they come out of Alan Village..."

Just when the Huns felt that it was difficult to win, snowflakes suddenly appeared in the sky.

The snow fell heavier and heavier, and soon it was flying all over the sky, turning the battlefield into a silver world in just half an hour.

"General Zuo, withdraw your troops!"

King Yu Tuan sighed and advised that it would be even more difficult to capture Alan Village under such heavy snow.

"Retreat your troops!"

Several other Xiao Wang also persuaded at this time.

General Zuo sighed and was about to withdraw his troops.

Suddenly there was wind in the sky. It was just a light wind at first, but it soon turned into a strong wind.

"Hahaha!"

"God help me!"

General Zuo jumped up excitedly.

Other Hun nobles around also cheered.

Because the strong wind happened to be blowing in the direction of the Han army.

The strong wind and blizzard blew the Han troops so hard that they could hardly keep their eyes open.

"Attack...attack..."

Taking advantage of this situation, General Zuo immediately ordered a full-scale attack.

Other Xiongnu nobles also shouted excitedly, "Attack!"

They cheered as if victory was just around the corner.

The ordinary soldiers of the Huns also had extremely high morale.

The sudden strong wind and blizzard made these ordinary soldiers think that Changshengtian was on their side.

"Kill!"

The Huns threw all their strength into the battlefield, hoping to take advantage of the wind and capture Alan Village in one fell swoop.

Guo Kai and Zhao Guanghan ordered a counterattack, but the strong wind carried snowflakes and blew the soldiers so hard that they could not open their eyes, and their ears were filled with the whistling wind.

The arrows fired by the crossbowmen were also blown back by the strong wind.

In just a short moment, the most powerful arrow array of the Han army was completely useless.

"Kill!"

At this time, all the Xiongnu tribes were shouting and screaming to kill him.
