Chapter 279 Lure the enemy deeper

Zhang Yue looked at the powerful Xiongnu Zuo Dadu Lieutenant's troops.

He calmly said to Weng Guimi, "Kunmo, it's time for the Wusun warriors to show their bravery..."

Weng Guimi nodded when he heard this, "Don't worry, Lord!"

Unknowingly, Weng Guimi already regarded himself as Zhang Yue's subordinate.

He quickly issued orders to the Wusun cavalry.

"The 10,000th Cavalry Attacks..."

Soon, more than ten thousand Wusun cavalry poured out under the leadership of Wusun Xihou Wuliji.

Their target was naturally the headquarters of the Xiongnu Commander-in-Chief Zuo.

The Xiongnu Lieutenant Zuo did not dare to be careless when facing the attacking Wusun cavalry, so he had to change direction and face the oncoming Wusun cavalry.

"Warriors, let us teach the Wusun people how to fight..."

Captain Zuo showed no fear when facing Wusun cavalry twice his own size.

In previous battles, these Huns cavalry who had experienced many battles were indeed much stronger than the Wusun cavalry who lacked battle experience.

In the eyes of the Huns, these Wusun cavalry who had been out of battle for a long time were nothing more than a rabble.

This is indeed the case. The Wusun people have not experienced a real war since they defeated the Da Yueshi.

The Wusun cavalry is now a noob in front of the Huns cavalry.

In fact, this can be seen in the Wusun Siege of Yarkand and their battle with the Kangju people ten years ago.

Ten years ago, Wusun used 20,000 people to besiege Yarkand, which had only 3,000 people. In the end, they were defeated and returned.

Not long ago, Wusun's 30,000 cavalrymen were also at a disadvantage when facing 20,000 Kangju cavalrymen.

This time, although the 10,000 cavalry led by Ulji were better equipped than the Huns, they were still at a disadvantage after the fight.

Both sides used tactics commonly used by the prairie cavalry.

After the attack, the cavalry did not rush into formation, but staggered with each other and struck the enemy with bows and arrows.

After the first round of fighting, at least 200 Wusun cavalrymen fell off their horses, while the Huns only fell off their horses, at most 400 or 50 people.

…

"Wusun's ten thousand horses are probably no match for the Huns!" Zhang Yue said, looking at the battlefield from the side.

Weng Guimi frowned when he heard this. He did not expect that his cavalry had fallen to such an extent.

The Marquis of Shanmifu on the side asked, "Does the monarch need the Shanmi cavalry to attack?"

Although Kakuya is a small country, its army's combat effectiveness is not weak.

Before the Han Dynasty entered the Western Regions, the Khotan Kingdom attacked Shanmi many times in an attempt to unify the South Silk Road, but was defeated by Shanmi.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the royal city of Khotan was captured by Shan Mi. If not for the intervention of Yarkand, Khotan would have been destroyed by Shan Mi.

If there is the cooperation of the Shanmi cavalry, they should be able to repel the Xiongnu Zuo Dadu Lieutenant's troops.

However, Weng Guimi felt insulted after hearing this, and he said to Zhang Yue.

"Marquis Yunyang, I Wusun still have more than ten thousand cavalry, please allow me to increase our troops!"

Zhang Yue laughed when he heard this and said, "Although this Huns are quite elite, if Wusun puts another three thousand people into the battlefield, they will definitely win! But... now is not the time!"

Weng Guimi said doubtfully, "Now is not the time, then when will be the time? Do we want to watch Ulji's defeat?"

Zhang Yue said, "Not bad!"

Weng Guimi blushed and said, "Does the Lord want to see Wusun's jokes?"

Zhang Yue said, "Kunmo, don't panic, please take a closer look at the situation on the battlefield?"

Although Weng Guimi was angry, he still looked at the battlefield after hearing this.

But after looking at it for a long time, he still didn't find anything wrong.

Weng Guimi couldn't tell and said bluntly, "You still want Marquis Yunyang to give me some advice?"

Zhang Yue pointed and said from the side of the battlefield, "Has Kunmo noticed it now?"

Weng Guimi took a closer look and suddenly realized, "That's it!"

It turned out that unknowingly, the Xiongnu Lieutenant Zuo's army had gradually become disconnected from the other Xiongnu legions.

Weng Guimi said, "Marquis Yunyang wants to wait for the Huns to go deeper?"

Zhang Yue said, "Yes, if the Huns go a hundred steps further, it will be time to send out troops!"

Weng Guimi rubbed his hands and said, "A hundred steps further, the terrain here is open, which is convenient for cavalry to attack. I will send out ten thousand cavalry to form an encirclement and attack from all directions. No matter how strong the Huns are, they will be defeated."

undoubtedly!"

The Marquis of Shanmifu was slightly worried and said, "What if the Huns attack again?"

Zhang Yue smiled and said: "The Xiongnu central army has already dispatched 35,000 cavalry. Does King Youxian dare to add more troops?"

…

When Zhang Yue said this, King Youxian was also troubled by this problem.

"Your Majesty, will you continue to increase your troops?" Zuo Zuo asked.

King Youxian did not answer immediately but asked instead, "Where is the Han army southeast of Chigu City now?"

The boy servant captain said, "Half an hour ago, we were already approaching Chigu 20 miles away..."

King Youxian frowned when he heard this.

After a while, he asked again, "How many troops are there on the left?"

The boy servant Duwei said, "I think there are still nine thousand cavalry in King Tuan's hands!"

King Youxian made some calculations and said, "I ordered King Tuan to send out five thousand cavalry to intercept the Han army in the southeast!"

The young servant captain hesitated and asked, "Five thousand, is it a little less?"

King Youxian thought for a moment and said, "It is indeed a little short. I ordered Chigu City to send three thousand troops..."

The boy servant captain hesitated for a moment, but finally obeyed and conveyed the order.

Zhao Guanghan saw that a group of soldiers and horses in King Yu's camp actually left the city and headed southeast, and he couldn't help but wonder, "What does King Yu want?"

He thought for a moment and then ordered, "Send a flag and ask the prince?"

"promise!"

On the military vehicle, the ordering soldiers immediately followed Zhao Guanghan's request and asked Zhang Yue.

"Your Majesty, Lieutenant Zhao from the left wing sent a message that King Yu's troops left the stronghold and headed to the southeast..."

Zhang Yue inquired and said with a smile, "King Youxian actually dared to weaken his left wing...ordered Zhao Guanghan's troops to attack..."

"Captain Zhao... Your Majesty issued an order for our troops to attack!"

Zhao Guanghan laughed loudly when he heard what the ordering soldier said.

"Nai Gong can't wait for a long time!"

He shouted an order, "The second and third sons are wearing armor and preparing to attack..."

The Han soldiers who were resting jumped up when they heard this.

Su Fei also said to Wu Zheng at this time, "It's finally time for us to take action... Naigong will definitely be stronger than Bill this time..."

Wu Zheng also smiled and said, "Then let's compare..."

Although the two were talking, their speed was not slow. Both of them were already hundreds of generals at this time.

While they were talking, both men and their troops were ready to send troops.

The left wing of the Han army finally began to move. The twelve war wings were divided into two wings and rushed towards the Xiongnu right wing. They bypassed the enemy's nest and Nanding Ling's troops, and surrounded the army from the left and right.

When the vanguard of the Han army appeared on the left and right sides, Ni Mi's cavalry had already begun to lose morale.

At this time, King Yu Ting also keenly noticed the situation of Ni Mi's troops.

He immediately ordered the siege of Pan Zhiqiang's cavalry to intercept the attacking Han army.

After receiving the order, the Huns who besieged Pan Zhiqiang immediately reorganized their formation to face the incoming Han army.

This time, the southern battlefield became increasingly chaotic.

But Zhao Guanghan and Zhang Yue both had smiles on their faces at this time...
