When the Xubu cavalry attacked, Zhidu immediately spotted these galloping Hun cavalry through his telescope.
The goshawk's large banner made Zhi feel a little dazzling.
"Goshawk? Huh!" Zhidu snorted coldly, and then focused his attention on the area where the Hunxie people were.
Zhidu licked his tongue.
He had already set his sights on that place a long time ago.
I have always been salivating over it, but unfortunately, I never had the chance.
After all, the Xiongnu troops were far superior to his. The partial army of more than 10,000 people was already very powerful to be able to contend with the main force of the Xiongnu until now.
Everyone knows that there will be a bloody battle today!
Because the Han army must capture that area today.
Otherwise, in a few days, the situation may completely change.
Once Han reinforcements arrive, the Huns may withdraw their troops.
After all, Heyin is not a strategic point of the Xiongnu.
They can even give up strategic centers like Ziling and Heyin. If they give up, they will give up.
The nature of the Huns is that when they win, they flock together like birds; when they lose, they disintegrate and flee thousands of miles away.
In this vast grassland, if the Huns wanted to escape, they would definitely be able to escape.
And if they retreat to Beihe, they will rely on Gaoque Fortress for defense.
Then, the Han army did not know how much price they had to pay to capture Gaoque.
If it can be solved in the field, of course it is best to do it in the field.
After taking a deep breath, Zhidu made a decision.
"Blow the bugle!" Zhi Du called the messenger: "The whole army attacks!"
"Woooooo!" The desolate horn sound resounded throughout the world.
Each phalanx of bows and crossbows stood up one after another.
Everyone put their crossbows on their backs and took out their swords from their waists.
Throughout the ages, crossbowmen can be converted into infantry and light soldiers at any time.
The Han family's crossbow troops have long been accustomed to approaching the enemy. They will start shooting with their crossbows at about fifty paces. When the enemy reaches a distance of about ten paces, they will pick up their white blades and rush forward to fight the enemy hand to hand.
Therefore, the crossbowmen hold standard infantry long swords.
This kind of long sword is very suitable for chopping, but not suitable for assassination.
……………………
In the distance, the Xubu cavalry rushed over to rescue the Xiutu cavalry who were being chased by the Han army. They were frightened by the actions of the Han army.
Infantry charge?
What did the people of the Han Dynasty want to do?
Do they think that two-legged infantry can defeat four-legged cavalry?
Don’t they know that when infantry meets cavalry, it’s like delivering food?
"Is the coach of the Han Dynasty stupid?"
Even Huyan Dangtu in the rear was stunned.
But since the Han army abandoned the camp and attacked, Huyan Dangtu was not polite.
"Dangtu!" Huyan Dangtu called his loyal slaves and ordered: "Take my ten thousand cavalry to charge and conquer!"
"Cut off the heads of people from the Han Dynasty and offer them to my ancestors!"
"Follow your orders!" Tu Qian said while lying on the ground, "I will obey my master's will!"
……………………
Zhidu personally led his own soldiers and retainers and walked in the center of the military formation.
He asked his left and right men to hold high the battle flags of their 'General Guards', and strode forward with great strides.
"Don't stop!" The road that the cross-country army walked by the phalanx of soldiers was covered with blood, stumps and internal organs. Many recruits felt a little scared and uneasy when they saw it.
Zhi Du immediately drew his sword and gave orders loudly.
This is a big gamble!
The bet is that even the Han army's infantry can defeat the Huns' cavalry!
At least, it has the ability to resist the Huns cavalry.
Materially speaking, the Han army does have this confidence!
The Mo Dao soldiers are in front, the crossbowmen are in the back, and the cavalry on both wings are protecting them. This is a weapon that has been tried and tested in last year's drills to deal with large-scale cavalry groups!
Of course, Zhidu didn't know that this tactic would be the famous tactic of Li Ji, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, who would become famous a thousand years later.
The Turkic cavalry were beaten by Li Ji using this tactic until they cried for their father and mother, and even the Khan was caught!
The infantry of the Han army walked faster than Mo Dao's soldiers. Soon, the infantry caught up with Mo Dao's soldiers.
At this moment, the Dawan people were stunned.
Along the way, countless Dawan slaves with black hair and brown eyes knelt on both sides of the road, begging to surrender.
Zhidu ignored them at all and continued to advance with his army, only to let these scum kneel where they were.
Thus, there was one more bystander in this battle.
The descendants of Macedonia and Greece knelt on the ground, shivering and shivering as the cold wind blew on them.
In front of them, rows of Han troops lined up in a tight formation, holding long swords and carrying crossbows on their backs, walking past them.
The appearance of the Han army was so mighty and majestic.
The descendants of Macedonian colonists who had glimpsed the ancient eastern country for the first time were so scared that they peed their pants.
"It is said that Alexander the Great wanted to conquer the end of the world..." Some people couldn't help but think in their hearts: "Thankfully Alexander the Great died of illness, otherwise, if he had run into the army of this country..."
Some well-informed people have heard about the war between the Roman Republic in Europe and its mortal enemy Carthage decades ago.
Tens of thousands of troops were fighting, with heads rolling in.
The fame of the Battle of Cannae shocked the entire Greek world.
but……
Now, before their eyes, a shocking battle no less powerful than the Battle of Cannae was about to break out.
The infantry of the Silk Kingdom sang an inexplicable and generous military song and stepped onto the battlefield calmly.
In the rear, the sound of drums and trumpets resounded throughout the world.
In front, the Silk Kingdom's leading army marched forward holding a pair of 'Weapons of Pluto'.
Farther away, the Barbarian cavalry and the Silk Kingdom cavalry were fighting together.
Corpses fell on the grassland one after another, and ownerless horses were whimpering everywhere.
The manner and intensity of the war between the Manzi Kingdom and the Silk Kingdom far exceeded these people's expectations.
"I'm afraid that if any of the Barbarians and Silk Kingdoms were born in Asia Minor, Rome, Greece, Athens, Sparta, and Macedonia would no longer exist!" Someone exclaimed, feeling a little lucky in their hearts.
Compared with the war in front of us, the ancient Peloponnesian War is as ridiculous as a child playing house. The Battle of Cannae that shocked the entire Greek world, Hannibal's 12,000 cavalry
, placed in this war between the Silk Kingdom and the Barbarians, it is simply an appetizer!
As for the Dawan people who witnessed it with their own eyes decades ago, the Eastern Expedition launched by the Seleucid Dynasty to regain Bactria was only a few thousand cavalry in size, which could only make soy sauce in this war.
And obviously, judging from many situations.
The battle between the Silk Kingdom and the Barbarians here is just one battle in the long war between these two behemoths.
Thinking of this, many Dawan people felt short of breath and uncontrollable fear.
They have been in the Xiongnu for more than a year, and naturally they have heard about some wars between the Silk Kingdom and the Barbarians.
The war between these two behemoths has been going on for decades.
"Zeus, decades of melee..." Many people were shocked.
This was indeed a horrific war unimaginable in the Greek world.

I'm in a great mood after coding this chapter. I'm going to play "Kagemusha". The new game was just announced today. I've been waiting for it for a long time. The video looks really good. I'm going to play it anyway and start a family.
