The thousandth and seventy-fourth sections meet on a narrow road and the brave wins (2)
At the moment when the Xubu cavalry rushed towards the Han army like a tide.
Huyandangtu in the distance got bad news.
"What!?" Huyan Dangtu clenched his fist tightly and asked the slave kneeling in front of him: "You told me that the Luhou people were defeated? How is this possible?"
The Luhou tribe is one of the few fierce tribes among the non-main tribe of the Xiongnu that can stand alone like the elite of the main tribe.
Not to mention, the Lu Hou Cavalry was sent to engage in mountain warfare, which they were best at.
Among the mountains and dense forests, these terrifying warriors feel as if they have returned to their hometown.
How could they fail?
Even if the Han Dynasty could defeat them, it was impossible to eliminate or expel them.
After all, although the Luhou tribe is called cavalry, they are actually herdsmen in the mountains.
Their riding skills are very poor, but climbing over mountains and ridges is their strength!
Even the Qiang people had nowhere to hide in front of Lu Hou.
Therefore, Huyan Dangtu felt very relieved about Lu Hou.
He believed that even if the Han Dynasty mobilized 100,000 troops, it would be impossible to wipe out the Luhou tribe.
As long as the Lu Hou people could continue to harass the Han Dynasty's supply lines and grain routes, they would be able to force the Han Dynasty to waste a lot of manpower and material resources.
In Huyan Dangtu's prediction, the Luhou people could still play in the mountains no matter what the Han Dynasty people**********!
"What's going on?" Huyan Dangtu asked.
"Reporting to General Zuo, the despicable Han Dynasty people cut off the Luhou tribe's food route. The Luhou cavalry had to withdraw to the assembly point where they were hoarding food and grass, but they were ambushed..." the slave said tremblingly.
After Huyan Dangtu heard this, he stamped his feet fiercely.
"Cut off the grain road?" Huyan Dangtu clenched his fists and looked at his army.
Do nomads need supplies?
The answer is, definitely necessary!
Before the rise of the Mongols, all nomadic cavalry needed a stable and reliable supply base to maintain the normal operation of the army.
Especially in winter like this.
There are no pastures or green leaves of the forest.
War horses can only eat hay brought from the rear.
The five thousand horsemen of the Luhou people dispersed into several groups and played hide-and-seek with the Han people among the mountains.
Originally, if the season had changed, no one might be able to do anything to them.
For the Luhou people, all wild beasts, insects and snakes in the forest, as well as fish in the streams and birds in the bushes are edible.
Even if they have nothing, they can survive for a long, long time just by drinking the milk of the war horse.
However, it happens to be winter now.
Even if horses are producing milk, they still need enough fodder to supply and maintain them.
And these fodder must be transported from the north of Gaoque, or even from Hexi.
Thinking of this, Huyan Dangtu sighed and asked: "How about the loss?"
"Reporting to General Zuo, from King Luhou on down, hundreds of people were killed in the battle, thousands were injured, and more than 3,000 horses were lost. The rest retreated to Gaoque. King Luhou sent his servants to plead guilty to General Zuo..." He kowtowed.
He bowed his head and said: "Please punish me, General Zuo!"
Huyan Dangtu shook his head and said: "King Lu Hou, you tried your best!"
The Luhou tribe has been able to hold off until now and contain more than half of the Han army's cavalry. It is indeed a level performance.
After all, this tribe only has a strength of five thousand people.
However, the failure of Lu Hou's cavalry meant that the half of the Han army's pinned cavalry could immediately return to the frontal battlefield.
Moreover, reinforcements may also be brought.
It is impossible for the people who lead the bow to compete with the Han Dynasty for manpower and national strength.
But it's not necessary, and it's something that no one except fools would do.
Instead, Huyan Dangtu thought of withdrawing his troops.
After all, this place is not a place that cannot be given up.
As long as the Xiongnu can still firmly control Gaoque, Beihe can ensure safety.
If Beihe is in the hands of the Xiongnu, Yinshan Mountain will be as stable as Mount Tai.
On the contrary, if Gaoque is lost, Beihe will definitely not be protected, and if Beihe is not protected, Yinshan will also have problems.
However, Huyan Dangtu looked ahead at the two armies that were about to fight.
But he was unwilling to retreat just like that.
After arriving here with so many troops, if they still can't defeat a partial division of the Han army, how will the Huns cavalry raise their heads in front of the Han people in the future?
More importantly, based on the urinary nature of the Han Dynasty people and the temperament of the little emperor of the Han Dynasty.
This matter will probably become a topic of ridicule and ridicule for the Xiongnu in the future by the Han Dynasty.
At that time, the Bank of China encouraged the old Shanyu to play word games and standardize the credentials of the two countries.
The monarchs and ministers of the Han Dynasty were always deliberately trying to regain their position!
"It won't be too late to retreat after the Han army is wiped out...or severely damaged..." Huyan Dangtu said to himself in his heart, while his eyes were fixed on the Han army's infantry formation in the distance.
Face handsome flag.
General Wei of the Han Dynasty and Zhi Jinwu, one of the Nine Qings.
This is a great nobleman with a high status.
If he can be captured alive or killed, it will definitely boost the morale of the entire army!
More importantly, the Han army here has too many luxurious weapons and equipment.
If they can be eliminated or severely damaged, the capture and prisoners alone will be enough to make up for the losses of this troop dispatch.
Thinking like this, Huyan Dangtu thought in his heart: "Then I will wait for one more day to see the situation... It will not be too late to leave the day after tomorrow!"
Although, bad news came from everywhere.
In the south, the divine cavalry of the Han Dynasty served as the vanguard, crossing the Nanhe River and approaching the ancient city of Jiuyuan County of Qin and Zhao.
On the flank, a partial division of the Han Dynasty broke through the interception of the four tribes in three days and approached Beihe.
Coupled with the partial division of the Han army here, the main force of the Han Dynasty rushed towards Beihe from three directions.
Once its main force has occupied Jiuyuan or its partial division has conquered Honghu Fortress, it has occupied key points on the south bank of the Beihe River.
Then he and his army will be in trouble.
But it's just a nuisance.
This is not Mayi, and there is no natural danger from the Wuzhou Mountains. With the speed and scale of the Xiongnu cavalry, Huyan Dangtu had absolute confidence and led the main force to break the Han Dynasty's blockade and return to Gaoque.
With this in mind, Huyan Dangtu said to a nobleman behind him: "Warriors of the Huyan clan, are you ready to fight?"
The nobleman knelt down and kowtowed: "The descendants of the White Tiger will never be afraid of the enemy!"
"Very good!" Huyan Dangtu raised his horse whip and said: "Brother Zhe! You can lead a group of ten thousand cavalry from the southeast to the back of the Han Dynasty, and attack the Han Dynasty people from front to back with Dang Tu Qian and Xu Bu Diao Nan! I will then attack the Han Dynasty.
My personal guards will be strengthened for you!"
Hu Yandang Butcher's troops are indeed very abundant.
However, the number of troops he can devote to a battle is limited.
No reason, because the space of this battlefield is too narrow.
If the cavalry were to rush forward in dense numbers, the crossbowmen of the Han Dynasty would probably die laughing.
To be honest, even now, it is a bit inappropriate to invest more than 16,000 cavalry in a decisive battle with the Han Dynasty.
Because now, there are tens of thousands of humans (including cannon fodder) gathered in this battlefield with a radius of dozens of miles. It is too crowded and is extremely detrimental to the cavalry!
The power of cavalry can only be fully exerted in mobile warfare.

Brothers, don't ask me again when "Kagemusha" will be available to play. I just learned from the official today that the game will be launched in October. By then, we will form an emperor family and dominate the game. For those who don't know yet, hurry up and go to Kagemusha.
Check out the official website, don’t play with newbies, haha (To be continued.) 8
