Three to five thousand infantry faced nearly ten thousand cavalry. To be honest, as long as the cavalry did not seek death and the two sides fought on the same level, the cavalry would basically win.
Xu Bucheng did not suspect that his reconnaissance cavalry made a mistake in judgment. Both the elites of the Han army and the elites of the Northern Huns were very cautious in this regard. After all, reconnaissance is really related to the survival of an army. If the reconnaissance is wrong, it will not be possible.
Well the whole army will be gone.
"Everyone stop, eat dry food on the spot, and rest for half an hour!" Xu Bucheng issued a new order to the messenger, and the entire army came to a standstill.
Gao Shun suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Should he take advantage of the situation and attack, or wait. However, looking at Xu Bucheng's tight defense, Gao Shun finally chose the same approach as Xu Bucheng and took out his own dry food to eat and drink on the spot.
.
Speaking of which, after a night of fighting, both sides were quite tired. Zhang Fei and others did not pursue them because they did not want the losses in this battle to continue to increase. For them, waiting for reinforcements to arrive and attack together could reduce losses.
After all, after a battle, Zhang Fei and others could see that the fighting power of the Northern Xiongnu headquarters was really no less than that of the elites of the Han Dynasty. According to estimates, the Northern Xiongnu headquarters should have between 60,000 and 90,000 people. Could they just fight to the death with the same number of elites?
?
These are all elite veterans at the level of Zhang Fei's headquarters. Even Liu Bei would probably be injured if he suffered so many losses. The best way to deal with the Northern Huns is to use their heads. If they fight head-on, I really mean it.
It hurts too much.
"This situation is not good. I did see the Northern Huns army, but they were resting there. Kong Ming, what should I do?" Li Tong frowned and said to Zhuge Liang.
"What are you afraid of?" Zhuge Liang said coldly, "Now that we've reached this level, why should we stop? On a plain like this, once we disperse, there's only one way to die, and even if they rest for half an hour, they won't be able to stop.
It might make all the fatigue go away.”
Li Tong glanced at Zhuge Liang in surprise. He didn't expect that the other party had such quality. You must know that Zhuge Liang had never been on the battlefield several times before.
Xu Bucheng ate the dry food, drank some water, and rested for half an hour. All the soldiers consciously jumped on their horses. Habits developed in many years of war, it is more effective to obey orders during war than to rush and kill on your own.
Gao Shun was a little embarrassed at this time. After the opponent took a break, their formation was more strict than before. Originally, Gao Shun was a little powerless even if he charged forward one-on-one, not to mention that the opponent was already prepared.
However, after some thought, Gao Shun decided to follow Chen Gong's command, pursue Zhuge Liang and ambush the opponent, and assist Zhuge Liang in annihilating the Huns soldiers in the encirclement.
Xu Bucheng glanced at Gao Shun and found that the opponent was still hanging leisurely in the distance, frowning slightly. The fighting power of being trapped in the formation was also a threat to Xu Bucheng.
Although the legion's attack can cause considerable damage to the formation, on the one hand, the formation itself has the ability to resist the legion's attack. On the other hand, once the formation rushes into the army, there is really no way to use the legion's attack.
Once the situation became like that, Xu Bucheng estimated that his headquarters of nearly 10,000 Northern Huns would have to lose more than 5,000 to put an end to this seemingly less than 1,000 enemy.
Of course, if Xu Bucheng knew that Gao Shun's 700 Formation could still maintain the fighting power of refining Qi for a quarter of an hour, he would probably have killed his idea.
Although he could only maintain his full military spirit posture for another quarter of an hour, as long as the opponent didn't run away, Gao Shun could kill the opponent before the battle was over.
However, Gao Shun's mind was very normal and he knew that the Army Soul Corps was not for fighting elites, but for opening up situations, so he kept hanging close to him.
Therefore, Xu Bucheng and Gao Shun were wary of each other, observing and moving forward. However, both sides were cavalry and their speed was pretty good. The distance of more than ten miles passed quickly.
After entering the place where Zhuge Liang's formation was ambushing, Xu Bucheng looked around unnaturally, always feeling that something was wrong, but looking around he couldn't see any difference.
[I seem to be a little nervous.] Xu Bucheng thought, but then his expression darkened, [After all, I have damaged Marquis Luutan. Alas, it is really too careless.]
At this moment, there was a sound of arrows, and then countless arrows were fired from all directions. In an instant, hundreds of northern Xiongnu fell from their horses. Then the next moment, countless Han troops suddenly appeared from all directions, roaring and launched an attack on the northern Xiongnu.
Then a cavalry of over a thousand people showed unrivaled momentum and rushed directly towards the front of the Northern Huns. At the same time, a thick layer of clouds suddenly appeared in the sky, and the infantry appearing dozens of steps away from all directions were all
A layer of glow emerged.
Before Xu Bucheng gave the order, eight huge light blades of legion attacks erupted from all directions. This was the formation prepared by Zhuge Liang. He had accumulated a large amount of cloud energy and internal energy. Even if he released the legion attack, it would not affect his own combat effectiveness.
.
Xu Bucheng rushed into the formation. The moment Zhuge Liang released Xun You's spiritual talent, he directly activated the prepared legion talent. The hundreds of guards Zhang Fei left for Zhuge Liang transformed into a thousand troops the moment Zhuge Liang turned around.
This formation does not add any offensive and defensive effects, but it is one of the three special formations that Li You taught Hua Xiong. Of course, because Hua Xiong's IQ is really not good, until now this formation can only rely on physical memory.
Display cannot show the whole picture.
This time, Zhuge Liang fully deployed the formation. In the next moment, the formation of only 5,000 people revealed a mighty army of tens of thousands.
Xu Bucheng, who was originally surrounded by five thousand people in the center of the formation, felt his hands and feet were cold when he looked at it this time. Although he didn't know how the other party did it, tens of thousands of people were ambushed here!
Even with more than 10,000 cavalry, being surrounded by tens of thousands of elite Han army infantry would still make their hands and feet feel cold. Moreover, as the eight legions were chopped out, nearly a thousand people in Xu Bucheng's army were killed in battle.
"Charge out!" Xu Bucheng was also experienced in many battles. He could see at a glance that the army deployed by Zhuge Liang had some problems in the northeast direction, so he immediately roared and rushed toward the northeast.
There were less than 200 remaining Northern Huns guards who reacted instinctively before Xu Bocheng roared, and charged directly towards the nearly 1,000 cavalry.
Under the leadership of Jin Hedan, the remaining Northern Xiongnu guards roared and launched an attack on the thousands of Han army elite cavalry that rushed towards them. As a result, the moment the two sides collided, the Northern Xiongnu guards were in their hearts.
As soon as it sank, the opponent's combat quality was already close to theirs! (To be continued.)
