Chapter 547 Whimsical(1/2)
Author: Gongsun Wujiu
"Your Majesty, what's going on with the Huns?"
The people on the left and right were equally puzzled by the Huns' actions.
The Fuyu people originally thought that when they launched a surprise attack, the Huns would also launch a surprise attack at the same time. In this case, the Han army would most likely collapse.
However, the Huns did not take action until half a quarter of an hour after the Fuyu people launched their surprise attack.
Just because of this half-quarter of an hour, the Fuyu people actually suffered hundreds of casualties. More importantly, they gave the Han army a chance to breathe.
King Fuyu gritted his teeth and said: "Are the Huns guarding us?"
The people on the left and right were still full of doubts at this time.
King Fuyu looked at his men and felt tired, "The Huns are worried that the Han army will be defeated so miserably that we will occupy Liaodong!"
"oh!"
Only then did the people around them finally understand.
…
Han Feng also understood at this time, but the Xiongnu army had already pressed forward, and the Han army, whose right wing had been completely defeated, was unable to resist the Xiongnu and Fuyu attacks from the east and north respectively.
"Commander, please make a decision early!"
A group of Han army officers also discovered this dangerous situation.
After Han Feng observed the battlefield situation, he decisively abandoned part of his army and retreated quickly towards Wuhuan City.
"Send an order to Wang Jun and tell him that he must hold back the main force of the Huns!"
Wang Jun was a fierce general in the army, and Han Feng entrusted him with the final task.
After Wang Jun received Han Feng's order, he realized that he had a heavy responsibility, so he did not dare to neglect it at all.
After carefully observing the battlefield situation, he understood that in the current terrain, relying on defense could not hold back the enemy.
In such an open area, the enemy cavalry could completely bypass the Han army behind them and continue to pursue the main force of the Han army.
In addition, the Han army in the rear was easily surrounded by enemy troops.
"It seems that if we want to hold back the Huns, we have no choice but to attack!"
Wang Jun quickly made a judgment on the current situation.
Under such terrain and battlefield conditions, if you want to temporarily delay the enemy, you can only choose to launch a counterattack.
But launching a counterattack against the enemy is also extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, your troops may be dumped by the Huns.
"哐"
Wang Jun gritted his teeth and pulled out his sword.
He looked in the direction of the Huns with a solemn face, pointed his long knife at an angle, and shouted:
"Two or three sons, loyal bones are buried everywhere in Qingshan, why should Ma Ge be wrapped in corpses and return..."
"For the big man, attack!"
"The Han army is mighty, attack!"
Under the command of Wang Jun, the five thousand Han cavalry who had retreated completely abandoned the Fuyu people in the east and launched a desperate charge towards the Huns in the north.
The Huns were overjoyed to have defeated the Han army. Unexpectedly, the Han army would suddenly launch a fierce counterattack at this time.
Some Huns who pursued them too eagerly were killed by the counterattacking Han cavalry before they could react.
The rest of the Huns' cavalry were also killed and retreated steadily.
The right general of the Xiongnu was the first to react, and he immediately ordered to reorganize his formation.
The battle just now has caused the Huns' formation to become chaotic. Such a chaotic formation cannot resist the Han army's counterattack.
The Xiongnu forwards are also the elite of the new army, and they also undergo strict training on daily basis.
After receiving the order from the right general, each of the ten cavalry commanders and the hundred cavalry commanders immediately reorganized their formation in accordance with the order.
But the Huns were faster, and the Han army was faster.
The Xiongnu forward still could not complete the reorganization of the formation before being rushed into the formation by the counterattacking Han army.
"Ahhh!"
The screams kept sounding.
Although the Xiongnu forward tried their best to resist, they were still beaten to pieces by the Han army.
Wang Jun knew very well that his purpose was to hold off the enemy and buy time for the main force to retreat.
Therefore, after breaking through the Huns' forward array, they immediately retreated as soon as they were ready.
He immediately ordered his Han cavalry to be divided into two teams, the left and right, and circled back to the starting point.
…
Not far away, King Buyeo couldn't help but licked his lips as he watched the Han army's unstoppable charge.
He measured the gap in combat effectiveness between his own army and the Han army.
Then he looked at the direction in which the main force of the Han army was retreating, and decisively ordered to stop the pursuit.
"Why don't we pursue you, Your Majesty!"
The people on the left and right asked again.
"You are really an idiot. The main force of the Han army is still tens of thousands... Our army is only ten thousand people. Look at the combat effectiveness of the Han army's cavalry... Are you going to catch up and die!"
King Buyeo cursed his subordinates, but looked at the Huns angrily.
At this time, he had already begun to think about what would happen after this battle.
He originally agreed to cooperate with the Huns in the hope that this battle would wipe out the main force of the Han army in one fell swoop.
As a result, the entire Liaodong and Korean Peninsula will be depleted in strength in a short period of time.
The Huns are a people who lead the way, and it is impossible for them to occupy Liaodong and the Korean Peninsula.
This will make it easier for Buyeo, who is also a farming nation.
If it can occupy Liaodong and the Korean Peninsula in one fell swoop, Buyeo will surely rise to become a great power.
Unfortunately, at the critical moment of the war, the Huns actually sided with Fuyu.
The Huns, who had always been the mortal enemy of the Han Dynasty, actually gave the Han army a chance of survival. This was something King Fuyu never expected.
King Fuyu had been thinking about why the Huns deliberately left a glimmer of hope for the Han army.
After some thinking, King Buyeo thought of a terrible reason.
The real target of the Huns was not the Han Dynasty, but Fuyu.
"Give me the order to retreat!"
After thinking for a while, King Buyeo realized the danger and decisively ordered his troops to retreat.
…
"Da Chanyu, the Fuyu people have escaped!"
Zuo Danghu reported to Xulu Quanqu Chanyu.
Xulu Quanqu Chanyu smiled and said, "Don't worry about the Fuyu people for now, let me defeat the Han army..."
After receiving the order, Zuo Dadanghu immediately led his troops to charge against the Han army.
After the generals left, King Tuqi asked Xulu Quanqu Chanyu: "Why didn't the Great Chanyu wipe out the Han army in one fell swoop?"
Xulu Quanqu Chanyu turned around and looked at King Tuqi, "With the layout of the Han army, can we completely annihilate the Han army even if we attack with the Fuyu people at the same time?"
After King Tu Qi thought for a while, he shook his head.
"Although the Great Chanyu cannot completely annihilate the Han army, he can at least keep the Han army's left wing!"
Xulu Quan Qu Chanyu smiled slightly, "Maybe, but don't forget our goal in this battle!"
King Tuqi suddenly realized that it seemed that Shanyu's real target had always been Fuyu.
At this time, Xulu Quanqu Chanyu looked at the retreating Fuyu people.
"Although my strength has improved after the reform, Qiang Hu is still much worse than the big man..."
"If the Han army is completely annihilated, the Han army will definitely launch an all-out attack on me, Qiang Hu. We can no longer withstand the all-out attack of the Han army..."
Speaking of this, Xulu Quanqu Shanyu couldn't help but sigh.
King Tu Qi said: "But even if this is the case, I am afraid that the Han people will take revenge on me for forcing Hu!"
Xulu Quanqu Chanyu shook his head: "You don't know the character of this Han people. What the Han people hate most in this situation is not me, Qiang Hu, but that Fuyu..."
King Tuqi thought thoughtfully: "If the Han people retaliate against Fuyu, it will be difficult for the Fuyu people to resist with their national strength..."
"If Buyeo is destroyed, I, Qiang Hu, can just win over its people!"
To be continued...
