Snowflakes suddenly began to float in the sky, and fell little by little to the vast grassland.
"It's snowing..." Zhidu raised his head and looked at the sky.
At his feet, there was a corpse chopped into pieces by Mo Dao. Stepping on the broken corpse, Zhi Du drew his sword. The sound of the Huns' horse hooves in the distance was already very close at hand.
"General Zuo is directly subordinate to Wanqi..." Zhidu muttered to himself as he stared at the wolf-headed banner of the Xiongnu.
The power structure of the Xiongnu was composed of four pillars plus the left and right generals.
These eight people formed the decision-making core of the Hun Empire.
Everyone has his own direct subordinate Wanqi.
Among them, the Right and Left Wise Kings are the most powerful.
Apart from anything else, King Youxian of the Huns in their heyday was the leader of the tribes in the southern part of the country.
He alone could make the decision to launch a large-scale attack on the Han Dynasty.
At least 80% of the wars between Han and Hungary in the past few decades were fought against King Youxian.
In that gloomy era, the Han army could only rely on fortified cities to defend against the Huns' cavalry attacks.
Not to mention getting stuck, even if you go out to fight in the city, you may suffer a disastrous defeat!
But today, he just led a partial division of the Han army to contain and attract the main force of the Xiongnu in Munan. He even led an infantry of no more than 8,000 to be qualified to challenge the 10,000 cavalry directly under the Xiongnu general Zuo.
This made Zhi Du feel like the world has changed.
but……
Decades ago, Qin general Meng Tian led the Great Wall Corps to garrison here.
Even though all the Huns were dispatched, they could not move any of the partial divisions of the Qin army.
Instead, he was hung up and beaten by the Qin people.
"Today, we are just letting history return to its original trajectory!" Zhidu said to his left and right: "Is it the land of the king in the whole world, and the land of the king is the minister of the king! My dear kings, I send you to Yao and Shun today!"
Zhidu's words made the officers in the Han army, especially those born into nobles and scholar-bureaucrats, scream with excitement.
To Jun Yao and Shun!
What a sacred and great mission!
China has great etiquette and beautiful uniforms.
Shouldn't the Sebarians be born to kneel on the ground and look up at the splendid civilization of Zhuxia, crying and begging for the king's salvation and the emperor's rain and dew for nourishment?
Of course, such words can only encourage the officers, especially the senior officers.
It is useless to say these words to soldiers.
It is better to be more practical and more effective.
But in the current Han army, Zhidu, as the head coach, does not need to talk about this kind of thing.
Officers at all levels will agitate before the war.
"Second and Third Sons..." One after another, the corps commanders said loudly to their soldiers: "Kill the enemy, serve the country, and make contributions today! Behead the Northern captives in exchange for a heavy reward from the court!"
"If you win this battle, you will have your land, your house, your wife, your daughters, and your cattle."
There is no need to talk too much. I just need to briefly describe the situation of the Han army soldiers who went out to fight today after the last battle of Mayi.
Countless soldiers' eyes glowed red.
The eyes looking at the Hun cavalry opposite were even more excited and filled with fanaticism.
"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!" the soldiers shouted loudly, waving their weapons.
…………………………
On the other side of the battlefield, the war was about to break out.
The Huns cavalry led by Xu Bu Diao Nan occupied a hill slightly higher than the grassland.
The entire force of Ten Thousand Cavalry was arranged in five rows, and a few strong men holding large banners raised the flag of the Subu clan high.
"These people of the Han Dynasty are so courageous!" Xu Bu Diao Nan stared at the Han army formation not far away: "With only four thousand riders, how dare you challenge the Xu Bu clan?"
The cavalry charge is the most spectacular battle between cavalry.
The two armies fought hand-to-hand.
Xu Bu Diao Nan still remembers the scene when the Xu Bu cavalry clashed last time.
It was the time of the Wusun rebellion, and he blocked a group of desperate Wusun cavalry at the foot of Gaolan Mountain.
The Wusun cavalry, led by its leader, rushed towards his banner with fear of death.
More than three thousand riders formed neat queues one after another.
Then the two armies crossed each other and clashed more than a dozen times.
In the end, at the foot of Gaolan Mountain, blood flowed for three hundred miles and countless corpses lay buried!
However, in that battle, the Xubu cavalry only spent 500 men to save the entire Wusun cavalry from being wiped out.
The Wusun people abandoned more than a thousand corpses on the spot, and more than a thousand others knelt on the ground to beg for surrender.
Less than three hundred people barely escaped.
This is the cruelty of cavalry hedging.
It not only tests the equipment, skills and tactics of the cavalry on both sides, but also tests the endurance and flexibility of the horses on both sides.
Generally speaking, a battle between cavalry will not develop into a confrontation at the beginning.
However, looking at the hedging posture of the Han army on the opposite side.
Xubu Diao Nan resolutely accepted their challenge!
Hedging?
The Xubu Cavalry is not afraid of anyone!
"Let me, the great Xubu Clan's Guduhou and Ten Thousand Cavalry Commanders, Xubu Diao Nan, crush your confidence and determination!" Xu Bu Diao Nan said loudly: "Warriors, Xu Bu Clan, from now on
Don't retreat! Now, these despicable Han people actually dare to provoke in front of the great Xubu warriors, let us teach them with our sabers and long bows!"
In Xu Bu Diao Nan's eyes, the Han Dynasty people didn't even have divine cavalry, so they dared to provoke him? They were simply seeking death!
Xubu cavalry are short in stature, but have extremely strong limbs.
Moreover, every cavalry horse is raised by the rider himself.
The tacit understanding and cooperation between them and their owners is beyond what others can imagine.
Not to mention, now, the Xubu cavalry has replaced their guns with cannons.
They also basically have the equipment that the Han cavalry on the opposite side has.
However, the poor riding skills and unfamiliar tactics of the Han Dynasty people were no match for the Xubu cavalry.
Xu Bu Diao even felt that the Han Dynasty cavalry company was not qualified to carry their shoes!
And now they are actually risking their lives in a hedging posture?
This is the birthday man hanging himself. Does he think his life is too long?
Raising his hands, Xu Bu Diao Nan pressed forward. Suddenly, rows of Hun cavalry, like a pack of wolves, pounced on the Han cavalry.
More than six thousand cavalry, densely packed and lined up, rushed towards the Han cavalry array like a landslide, as if they were going to tear the Han army into pieces.
……………………
"Hedging..." Wang Yong, the cavalry commander of the Thorny Gate Army, licked his lips. Indeed, the Han army's riding skills and tactics were far inferior to the Huns' cavalry.
After all, people are born on horseback and die on horseback.
but……
There are many things in this world that can be made up for later.
The Han's riding skills and tactics are not as good as those of the Huns for the time being. This is an objective fact.
Therefore, the Han army's way to solve this problem was to ignore it.
Just like Tian Ji's horse racing, I just use my strengths to deal with your weaknesses while leaving no room for your strengths to develop! (To be continued.)
