The first thousand two hundred and eighty-one chapters battle on the valley (2)
At this time, smoke and dust were billowing outside Yuyang County.
Even though they were dozens of miles away, the Han army on the Great Wall saw an unprecedentedly large army approaching at high speed.
The beacon was immediately lit.
For a time, the hundreds of miles of frontier fortress from Yuyang to Youbeiping were full of wars.
The Huns didn't pay attention to the Han Dynasty's Great Wall defense force at all, and they rushed over arrogantly.
Naturally, the Han army could not withstand such a large-scale Xiongnu attack.
Like a sponge, in an instant, the Han army abandoned many areas in front of the Great Wall and retracted its strength to cover more than fifty miles.
"The Huns are too arrogant..." When Captain Yang was arrested, Yang Shi said angrily to Li Guang: "You don't take us seriously at all!"
Li Guang looked at the map and said nothing.
The situation in Youbeiping is not yet known, but on the defense line of Yuyang County, the Huns army was divided into at least seven groups and rushed over fiercely.
Especially the enemies in front of Yaoyang and Baitan were a bit too arrogant.
They didn't even care about the resistance of the Han army. They marched southward along the Ru River in a swaggering manner. In just half an hour, they broke into the Han border for twenty miles!
At such a speed, there is basically no consideration for any establishment or organization. It is completely a march method similar to an armed parade.
Such behavior naturally immediately aroused a collective rebound from the Han army.
I think back then, when the Huns were strong, they did not dare to march like this.
Who gave them such courage?
"According to the speed of this Xiongnu vanguard, they will arrive near Baitan in the afternoon at the latest..." Li Guang's deputy Wu Cheng said next to him: "And they will keep a distance of at least eighty miles from the cavalry behind them.
…”
Wu Cheng looked at Li Guang with burning eyes: "General, do we want to fight them in Baitan?"
The enemy is so arrogant, it would be a shame not to give them a hard blow!
Li Guang shook his head: "Now is not the time to face off against the enemy..."
Looking at the advancing route of the Huns cavalry on the map, Li Guang hesitated for a moment. He was really surprised by the arrogance and boldness of the Huns.
Even deep down in his heart, he had the urge to fight with the Xiongnu vanguard.
However, Li Guang knew that in the current situation, winning one or two local battles would not benefit the overall situation.
Before reinforcements arrived, he had to preserve his precious troops.
Currently, for Li Guang, his biggest task and mission is to protect the Great Wall from Yuyang to Xixi.
As for other places, you can give up.
Just as he was thinking about this, a messenger suddenly ran in panting and reported: "General, the reinforcements of 3,000 people led by Bo Gong, the governor of the Andong Protectorate, have arrived at Yuyang Fortress, and they have brought more than
Thirty thousand shi of food! Duke Bo told the general: There is no need to worry about Yuyang fortress. Just ask the general to guard the area around Xixi!"
When Li Guang heard this, he immediately stood up and said loudly: "Good! Mr. Bo's coming to help me is like the rain coming after a long drought!"
Bo Shi joined the battlefield, which alleviated Yuyang's problem of insufficient troops.
He also immediately liberated the entire Yuyang army.
Replacing Li Guang solved the safety problem of Yuyang Fortress.
Now, Li Guang could finally free up his hands and concentrate on dealing with the invading Huns cavalry.
"Send out scouts immediately to find out the strength of the invading Xiongnu troops and their tribes..." Li Guang ordered with excitement on his face.
If before, he was still hesitant and did not dare to fight against the Huns rashly.
But now, the arrival of Bo Shi has solved his worries, allowing him to concentrate on dealing with the invading Huns.
Of course, Li Guang knew very well that the Yuyang army had a huge disadvantage in terms of military strength.
The mobile troops he currently has available are less than two thousand cavalry.
Even if the troops from Baitan and Yaoyang were mobilized, and troops from Huixi and Huayan were mobilized, they would still form a regiment of at most 7,000 men.
Moreover, the number of cavalry was seriously insufficient.
If you want to fight the Huns cavalry, you not only need to know the situation of the Huns, but you also have to choose a good battlefield.
A battlefield that can amplify the combat effectiveness of the Han army and restrict the Huns cavalry.
………………………………
At this time, the leading force of the Xiongnu, named Zhebie Wanqi, totaling more than 6,000 people, rode unscrupulously along the Ru River and the vast mountains.
Gracchus, the commander of ten thousand cavalry, rode forward in high spirits, while his lieutenant, Rus, was walking on both wings with his scouts.
They marched boldly, just like they did in the territories of Daxia and Kangju.
"Let us witness a massacre!" Jebie's cavalry shouted wantonly. They passed by the beacon towers and military forts that had been abandoned by the Han army, destroying and destroying everything inside.
The performance of the ‘Han Chinese’ was also in line with their expectations.
These people did not dare to resist at all, abandoned their fortresses and fortresses, and retreated in confusion.
Gracchus even dreamed of a future in which he would break into large cities with a population of tens of thousands and plunder them wantonly.
And the Jebie cavalrymen are all dreaming about the future of getting rich overnight.
You must know that according to legend, this 'Han Kingdom' is the richest place in the world. It is said that in any city, there is countless gold and silk, especially those silks. Any piece of silk can be exchanged for it in the Western Regions.
Lots of wealth!
Only the Hun nobles kept asking the Jebie cavalry to slow down and wait for the Hun cavalry behind them.
But all these suggestions and requests were ignored.
Gracchus believed that he could capture Han Dynasty cities without the help of the Xiongnu cavalry.
"I have even captured the city of Alexandria in the far east... How can a mere Han country resist my attack?" Gracchus, who was full of self-confidence, could not hear any suggestions at all.
In his heart, even great cities like Alexandria in the far east that once blocked the King of Victory had fallen into his hands.
So, the so-called Han Kingdom in the East is not an enemy like a chicken or a dog?
It is even possible that he could chase tens of thousands of Han troops everywhere with just one charge.
Just like he once chased Kang Ju's cavalry all over the world!
It wasn't until nightfall that Gracchus stopped his cavalry and camped in a valley to rest and prepare for tomorrow's siege.
At this time, in Yaoyang City, Li Guang also got the information he needed.
"Humph, you only have six thousand horses, and you dare to come?" Wei Yang, the capital of Yang, was full of indignation: "This is too disrespectful!"
After the Battle of Mayi, the Han army no longer feared the Xiongnu, but instead despised them.
In the general concept, one Han cavalry can be compared with at least three Hu cavalry.
Six thousand barbarians?
Two thousand Han army elite cavalry were enough to destroy them!
Even if the county soldiers at the frontier can fight against 6,000 Hu cavalry, they only need 3,000 Han cavalry at most!
So no one can figure out what gave the Huns such courage.
Don't they know that now, even the Huns' royal court headquarters, Wanqi, dare not bare their teeth at the Han army at the foot of the Great Wall?
"General, please let our army go to war!" Liang Xian, the captain of Yuyang Dudu, said angrily: "The last general who is willing to issue a military order will take the head of the captive chief!"
Li Guang smiled and shook his head, then turned to ask the scout: "Have you found out which Wanqi of the Xiongnu tribe this is?"
The strength of six thousand cavalry is within the Xiongnu's main strength of ten thousand cavalry.
You should know that under normal circumstances, the number of Xiongnu's 10,000 riders will not exceed 5,000.
Only those loyal henchmen of the headquarters and the Xiongnu can have a strength of more than 5,000 cavalry.
And if the number reaches six thousand, it is almost certain that this is the Xiongnu headquarters, or at least the trump card in the Xiongnu country.
"I haven't found out clearly..." the scout replied: "The invading Beilu's banner is not within the identification range of our army's intelligence..."
Identifying the enemy's banner is the most effective way for the Han army to judge the enemy in person.
"That's it..." Li Guang thought for a moment, called another captain who had been beside him, and said: "Colonel Zhang, I'm afraid I have to leave this matter to you. I have to trouble you to touch these tonight.
The Huns are in trouble..."
"Hai Dahai is obligated..." The Han military captain named Zhang Dahai grinned and said, "General, please don't forget what you promised to Da Dahai..."
After hearing this, Li Guang looked a little embarrassed, but he still nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will never follow up on my words!" (~^~)
