Making a feint to the east and attacking in the west

In order to improve their combat effectiveness, King Youxian not only changed their bows and arrows, changed their swords, but even changed their war horses!

Fortunately, King Youxian made a lot of money in Chigu City, and he got nearly 10,000 pairs of armors alone.

There are tens of thousands of swords. Using these idle weapons in exchange for thousands of cavalry is a good deal no matter how you calculate it.

Although in terms of weapon quality, the equipment received by the Ding Ling people was almost the worst, but compared to their original equipment, it had already crossed more than one level.

To describe it in one sentence, the Ding Ling people suddenly entered the "feudal age" from the Stone Age, at least in terms of weapons and equipment.

Therefore, Ding Ling people's participation in the war this time is similar to that of country people entering the city, coming in a daze but full of freshness.

After receiving a comprehensive change of clothes from the Huns, they were full of gratitude to the Huns, so they worked very hard in this battle.

After they left the stronghold, they only knew that the Xiongnu nobles asked them to attack the enemy, but when they got halfway, they found someone coming to attack them from behind.

These Ding Ling people have no military literacy, and they don't even have the concept of strictly following orders. To them, fighting is just fighting, but one advantage is that they are bold, if someone attacks them from behind.

Naturally, they wanted to fight back, so they suddenly forgot their original order and started to attack the 5,000 Amcai cavalry sent towards Zhang Yue with strange screams.

In fact, the Amcai cavalry was similar to the Ding Ling people and had not undergone strict training. As a result, the battle between the two sides turned into a group fight.

…

If the Ding Ling people were facing horse archers, they might be shot to pieces before they even got close to the enemy.

If they faced the Han army's cavalry, even five hundred cavalry would be enough to beat them to pieces.

If they were facing Han military officers, then they would have a lot of military exploits.

Fortunately, they faced the equally brutal and backward Amcai cavalry.

The people of Amancai are actually no strangers to these Nandingling people. They have had contact with the Dinling people before, and they used to bully the Dinling people with their advanced equipment.

Indeed, in terms of civilization level, they are one level higher than the Dingling people, but in terms of brutality, they are three points lower.

They already had the concepts of "war" and "country", and they also knew what the "battle for hegemony" between the Han and the Huns was about.

But their morale was very low, unlike the Dingling people who were grateful to the Huns. They were forced to surrender to the Han army.

Although their king wanted to express himself, the morale of the soldiers was indeed low. This was something Zhang Yue ignored.

Despite this, the Amcai cavalry still had much richer war experience, which made up for their lack of morale.

Therefore, when the two rookie cavalry clashed, the Ding Ling people, who were not used to large-scale wars, fell into a passive position.

The Amcai cavalry, under the command of their king, smashed the Ding Ling cavalry into several pieces.

These dingling cavalrymen who came out from the distant mountains usually saw only a few hundred people in fights, but now they were suddenly at a loss when they were suddenly in such a large-scale battle.

But the biggest advantage of these arrogant and delicate people is that they are not afraid of death!

People who are not afraid of the battlefield will quickly adapt to it. Five thousand people will almost follow their own instincts, and hundreds or even dozens of people will fight on their own!

Some Ding Ling people even jumped off their horses to fight with the Amancai people who surrounded them!

Therefore, after the initial chaos passed, they quickly gained the upper hand.

King Amcai, who originally thought he was sure of victory, now felt at a loss.

Zhao Guanghan, who was watching the battle from a distance, immediately realized that the situation was unfavorable and quickly sent a team of well-trained Han cavalry reinforcements.

…

When the Amcai cavalry and the Ding Ling people were playing with each other, the cavalry led by King Wuchao also arrived.

The Wuchao tribe of the Xiongnu was actually composed of many small tribes conquered by the Xiongnu.

This is actually the normal state of the grassland people. Compared with the Nandingling people, this is an army with a relatively complete military organization.

If the Nandingling people are completely a mob, then the Wuchao Army is a relatively qualified tribal armed force.

But the morale of the Wuchao tribe is like saboteurs. They are well-trained and equipped no worse than other Huns armies.

However, because the Wuchao tribe had been away from the front line of the Han-Hungarian battle for a long time, they lacked combat experience and their hand-to-hand melee combat capabilities were also weak!

Originally, the Ding Ling people had stabilized their position and were gradually gaining the upper hand.

However, after the Wuchao tribe approached, they did not immediately turn the battlefield into a one-sided situation. They did not even rush into the battlefield immediately to respond to the Ding Ling people.

Instead, he gradually approached in an outflanking manner, as if he was helping, but also as if he was not helping, and he was too cautious.

When they found a group of Han cavalry approaching, they actually retreated a distance.

"What happened to King Wuchao?"

King Yu Ting also noticed the situation of Wuchao tribe at this time and asked with an unhappy expression.

"Send the order for the Wuchao tribe to attack. If you still dare to passively avoid the battle, you will be severely punished..."

After receiving the order from King Yu Ting, the Wuchao tribe finally started the real attack.

But it was a bit late at this time. If they had attacked decisively from the beginning, they might have defeated the Amcai cavalry by now.

But now the main force of the Han army's left wing has arrived.

The main force on the left wing of the Han army was a mixture of infantry and cavalry, including a large number of crossbowmen. They were also the main force used by the Han army to attack Nimi Village.

King Yu Ting couldn't help but sigh when he saw the main force of the Han army dispatched.

When the Amcai cavalry and the Ding Ling people were fighting together, his plan was to use the Wuchao cavalry to defeat the Amcai people first.

Then use Wu Chao and Ding Ling to intercept the main left wing of the Han army. After it eats the cavalry from various countries led by Pan Zhiqiang, they will then engage in a decisive battle with the Han army.

Who would have thought that although the Wuchao tribe belonged to the Huns in name, their combat prowess was so impressive.

At this time, Wuchao and Dingling had already joined forces with Yancai and the Han army, and more than 10,000 people formed a huge and chaotic battlefield.

The Ding Ling people are in the far east. They gradually adapt to large-scale battles and slowly encroach towards the west.

However, the casualties of the Ding Ling people were also very high. Even if they could defeat the Amancai people, it would only be a miserable victory.

Although the Han cavalry only dispatched 500 cavalry, they did not fall behind when facing the Wuchao tribe.

This battlefield situation was completely beyond King Tan's expectation.

"Wuchaobu is really a shame for me to rape Hu..."

Some of the Qianqi commanders around King Yu Ting couldn't help but complain about the Wuchao tribe.

King Yu Ting saw that the situation was not good for him. After some thought, he ordered eight thousand cavalry from his tribe to attack.

He hoped to defeat Pan Zhiqiang's troops before the main force of the Han army arrived at Nimi Village.

If Pan Zhiqiang's troops are allowed to act, the Xiongnu right wing will be in an extremely disadvantageous situation when the main force of the Han army arrives.

Zhang Yue of the Chinese Army finally showed a smile on his face when he saw King Yu Tuan's troops on the right wing of the Xiongnu attacking.

"Send the order for the right wing to attack!"
