If you look at it from the air and raise the observation angle to a very high angle, you will find that the terrain from Hanhangu Pass to Xin'an is like a sharp triangle from west to east, with two sides that become increasingly sharp towards the east. They are all mountains, and inside the triangle is relatively good flat land. The tip of the easternmost triangle is Hangu Pass, and the bottom is Xin'an County.
There are four groups of soldiers in this sharp triangle. The one closest to Hangu Pass in the east is Guopu's infantry and auxiliary soldiers who are rushing slowly. A little further west is Guopu's infantry and auxiliary soldiers who are dragging for a long time due to terrain restrictions. Pu seven hundred Xiliang cavalry.
In front of them were a hundred Xiliang cavalry who had already dispersed. They were chasing after ten or twenty rangers. In front of these fleeing rangers, on the side of the mountain that deviated from the main route. In a field, Yu Fuluo was waiting quietly with his four hundred tribesmen who had just put on Han armor, as if waiting for prey to fall into a trap...
This is a field open in the mountains. Industrious farmers have planted wheat seeds, but so many Southern Huns have trampled the loose soil tightly, and even the loose soil has been trampled. The green seedlings were trampled until they were mixed with the soil.
There happened to be a low hill on the side of this field, which blocked the view from the direction of Hangu Pass. Yu Fuluo asked someone to cut down some tall branches and set them up in the front. Even some cavalrymen looked back. , even if you don’t take it seriously, you may not be able to tell that there are actually a lot of people hidden behind the branches and leaves.
Yesterday, Yu Fuluo sent people to pull big rocks back and forth on the road here several times by horse, and compacted all the loose field soil on the route in the direction of the impact.
In the Huns, when a person died, he was buried either in the sky or on the ground.
Sky burial means finding a hill, getting some stones to build a platform, and then placing the dead person on it, maybe lighting a fire, or even skipping the fire. Naturally, the birds and beasts of nature will come to digest it.
Ground burial is to dig a deep pit anywhere, put the deceased in it, fill it with soil, and finally drive the horses and cattle and sheep to run back and forth on it and trample it two or three times. There is no trace of the wolf...
Battle lowered his head, twisted his body, and touched the armor pieces on his body from time to time, causing the armor pieces to collide with each other and make a tinkling sound.
Yu Fuluo slapped Barter with his backhand and cursed: "Are you having epilepsy? Stop shaking!"
Battle laughed a few times and said: "The craftsmanship of the Han people is really good. Look at these small armor pieces. They are all the same size..."
The Han leather armor that Battle originally wore was replaced with a brand new iron plate armor this time. He felt that it was doubly novel and cherished. Even if he stopped twisting his body, he would touch it here and there from time to time...
At this moment, a sharp whistle came, and Yu Fuluo and others all looked stern. Immediately, the sound of horse hooves came, and more than a dozen cavalry rushed forward along the road. In the blink of an eye, another He turned a corner and ran away along the road...
Just like the front and back, a group of Xiliang soldiers also chased along the road. There were also a few people who claimed to be good at archery, and they were shooting arrows. Naturally, their shooting was not accurate, but there were so many people shooting arrows. Those who are unlucky will encounter Liuya.
"Aha! It's finally here!" Battle excitedly grabbed the reins of the war horse beside him and was about to get on the horse, but was grabbed by Yu Fuluo.
"It's not time yet! Wait a minute!" Yu Fuluo glanced at the pursuing Xiliang cavalry and knew that the number was wrong. There must be more behind them, so he stopped Battle.
Guo Pu's army, which was now divided into three parts, was in a very delicate state. The commander who rushed to the front knew that there were still large troops behind him, so he pursued forward with confidence. First, he wanted to kill these rangers. The second is to find the large army of Yellow Turban thieves. Anyway, we have horses. Even if we see that the momentum is not right, there is no problem in turning around and running away.
The Guopu headquarters behind the vanguard also believed that there had been no warning ahead. Naturally, they also believed that the road was safe and they had not encountered any enemies. They were all rushing forward under the stimulation of wine, meat and money...
The infantry and auxiliary soldiers who were at the end were almost exhausted just by accelerating forward, and naturally they did not consider the issue of ambush.
Therefore, Guopu's 700 cavalrymen didn't even check the sides of the road. They kept their heads down and rushed directly past the place where Yu Fuluo was ambushing...
Yu Fuluo waited for a while, and when he saw that no soldiers or horses were coming from behind Guo Pu, he licked his lips, waved his hand to move away the blocking branches, then got on his horse, slowly drew out his ring-headed knife, and raised his sword. When he arrived in front of him, he kissed the back of the knife and raised it high...
Everyone behind him, including Battle, also mounted their horses and drew their swords, their eyes fixed on Yu Fuluo's raised sword...
Yu Fuluo suddenly slashed his sword to his side and rushed out of the hiding place first. Behind him were four hundred Southern Huns cavalry who had changed into Han army armor and stabbed Guopu's rear like an awl. past!
At this time, Guo Pu's front had already encountered the other half of the Huns disguised as Yellow Turbans who were waiting for work. He quickly took up position and sent people to notify Guo Pu behind him while taking precautions.
However, the Huns did not give the one hundred cavalrymen in front of Guopu any chance to breathe and form the formation, and they directly pressed up against them...
There is not much room for consideration. One is that the terrain on both sides is either mountains or fields, so it is impossible to make a circle. If you turn around and run, it will affect the subsequent route of the headquarters, and your own team will not be saved, so although I felt something was wrong. Why did the Yellow Turban Thieves show up with so many cavalry? However, Guopu’s commander still ordered the team to form a formation and confront the oncoming enemy troops...
The battle between cavalry and cavalry is actually to see who is more ruthless, with sharper swords and harder armor. Now the Southern Huns have replaced the Han army with armor. Although there are only a hundred people with armor on the front, the increase in combat power is no longer It's half past one, and it's not a problem to deal with Guo Pu's forward...
Guo Pu also received the news from the vanguard at this time, and immediately ordered to speed up. The road itself was inconvenient to turn around, so there was only one way forward. Even if there were some abnormalities in front, as long as the formation was penetrated, it would be possible.
There is more room to maneuver!
The last cavalryman running in Guopu felt an unusual vibration, which was completely different from the frequency of the horses under him. He couldn't help but look around in confusion, and suddenly saw a large group of black shadows in the corner of his eye.
Rushing from behind him, he was so frightened that he quickly turned his head to look. He suddenly panicked, pulled his neck and shouted: "The enemy is attacking! The enemy is attacking! Behind..."
Cao said: "It would be better for me to corrupt the world than for the world to corrupt me."
Liu said: "Brothers are like siblings, and wives are like a rotten wife."
Sun said: "Brother Fu's career cannot be abandoned."
So from a structural point of view, Cao won in the end.
