Yi Zong rode his war horse and walked on the side of the straight road, moving forward slowly.
The huge troops carrying the Han army's heavy equipment and various military supplies advanced in the wilderness.
Nearly 10,000 heads stalked him, completely occupying the entire horizon.
The light cavalry of the Han army marched parallel to each other on both wings to protect these livestock and supplies.
In the distance, ten miles away, the Huns' scouts followed them like shadows.
But Yi Zong remained calm, as if he didn't see these enemies, but he was still worried in his heart.
Now, he has nearly 20,000 horsemen under his command, including men, horses and horses, stretching for 20 to 30 miles.
If the Huns attack suddenly, the army may suffer losses on such a relatively narrow road.
You must know that cavalry raids are very fast. From the time you discover the enemy's intention to the time the enemy attacks, the time you can prepare for is less than three seconds.
However, if the Han army has hidden worries, don’t the Huns have any?
Holding a telescope, Yi Zong looked into the distance and observed the movements of the Huns.
Through observations over the past day, Yi Zong already knew that the Hun cavalry he faced was only 40,000 cavalry at most, and about 15,000 to 20,000 cavalry.
Moreover, the number of cavalry that can actually fight is only twelve thousand.
In terms of military strength, the balance of power between the Xiongnu and Han armies was not unbalanced.
If they dare to make a surprise attack, then the Han army will naturally not be a vegetarian.
The worst case scenario is to go back and fight with them first, eat the troops that take the lead, and then continue south.
Therefore, the wisest choice for the Huns was to follow the Han army.
This can at least make Yi Zong feel uncomfortable and disgusted, and it can also limit the speed of the Han army.
In the past day or so, Yi Zong's troops have only advanced thirty miles!
This is the march speed of the army when the enemy is on the side.
There is no way. If this were not the case, once the formation was dispersed, the Huns cavalry would really find an opportunity.
Opposite Yizong, Lan Zheye's temper has become increasingly irritable.
"Didn't we agree that the reinforcements will arrive in one day?" Lan Zheye felt as if his lungs were going to explode: "Why can't we see the shadow of the reinforcements until now?"
"Dadanghu, just wait a little longer..." Xi Yunnan advised: "It should be soon!"
But before Xi Yunan could finish his words, a Qingqi came galloping over and reported: "The reinforcements of the King of Xia were entangled by the Han army near the Great Wall. The King of Xia sent his servants to inform all the masters: Do not wait until the reinforcements arrive.
Before arriving, fight with the Han Dynasty people to avoid being taken advantage of by the Han Dynasty!"
"Asshole!" Lan Zheye almost roared.
He had had enough of the useless time of having to follow the Han army from a distance.
He couldn't wait to crush the Han army in the distance and trample the so-called divine cavalry under his feet!
Use the battle flag of the Flying Fox Army of the Han Dynasty as proof of your martial arts!
"Da Danghu, don't be impulsive!" Xiyunnan and Xubu Dangtu hurriedly advised.
The two of them knew the tempers of the commander Wan Qi of the Xuhu Army and the right commander of the Xiongnu very well.
This man has followed Shanyu for many years, and has almost never encountered any setbacks in Dawan, Daxia, Kangju, Lien Zhan and Lien Jie.
Therefore, he is arrogant and thinks he is the best in the world.
In fact, he was just a frog in the well and had no idea how powerful the Han Dynasty's army was!
If the Han Dynasty was an opponent that could be defeated with a single charge, then who did the Huns lose to, Mayi or Gaoque?
Why did Chanyu even dare to invade the south and only choose the land of Yanji, a place of bitter cold, but did not dare to break into Yanmen, Yunzhong and Daishang again?
Isn't it just that you want to avoid the main force of the Han army and pick the weak ones?
"Coward!" Lan Zheye cursed with red eyes, but he still had to rein in his horse and ordered his subordinates: "Continue to be vigilant!"
There was no way. If the enemy was Kang Ju or the Daxia army, he might have led his army to attack them long ago.
However, the enemy is the Han army that suppresses the world!
Moreover, it was the Han army led by the famous general of the Han Dynasty, the cavalry general who was the emperor's brother-in-law.
No one dared to look down upon him, even he had to weigh his own weight.
After all, it's not like he hasn't seen with his own eyes what happened to other Huns troops these days.
Several of the Shan Yu's troops were defeated and returned home at the Yuyang Fortress.
The Huns tried their best but failed to capture Yuyang.
If the Han Dynasty people were only good at defending the city, then Lan Zheye would not be like this either.
However, in the numerous field battles, the Huns' cavalry did not gain any advantage.
Although his Xu Huan army is powerful and the White Wolf Knights are elite, Lan Zheye also knows very well that even if he and his army were replaced, the end result would not be much better.
The local armies and militia of the Han Dynasty were already struggling.
The main field cavalry regiment of the Han army, which is said to be "less than ten thousand Han cavalry" and "invincible", has not even been defeated so far. How strong should the Han army's divine cavalry be?
As for the more than 7,000 horses of Xu Huan's army, Lan Zheye estimated that it might not be enough to fill the gap between people's teeth.
If we want to fight, we must unite with Xubutangtu's forced cavalry and the Black Crow Army commanded by Tie Yunnan to unite and fight together.
We even have to consider fighter planes and choose battlefields.
However, Lan Zheye only understood these things in his heart.
On his lips, he was still swearing, acting like a bellicose madman.
"The great Xiongnu's hegemony was ruined in the hands of you cowards!" Lan Zheye shouted loudly, fearing that others would not know his dissatisfaction.
There is no other way, otherwise, there is no way to appease those anxious Xuhuan cavalry and proud White Wolf Warriors!
You must know that the Xuhuan Army is not the traditional Xiongnu Ten Thousand Cavalry. It is a cavalry based on clans and with towns and blood as ties.
This was the first Xiongnu cavalry unit selected from all ethnic groups.
The people chosen are all lunatics, butchers and war maniacs.
In fact, many people in their original clans are the kind of beings who are disgusted by others.
They are ignorant and crazy, and all they can think about is burning, killing, and looting.
If you fight like crazy, you will kill all your own people.
Serving as the commander of such a cavalry requires not only prestige and skill, but also the ability to channel and utilize the psychology of these warriors.
All in all, if you want to secure your position as the commander of the Ten Thousand Cavalry of the Xu Huan Army, you have to act crazier than the people below, and at the same time, you have to stay calm.
In fact, since the old Shang Shanyu established the Xuhu Army, the final fate of the ten thousand cavalry commanders of this cavalry was either to die on the battlefield or to die of madness at home.
Therefore, Lan Zheye was not pretending.
He is really a little crazy and a little crazy.
At this time, the Han army continued to advance, and soon they were approaching the battlefield chosen by Yi Zong.
This place is an open river valley with an unobstructed view of the plains for dozens of miles. The tidewater flows from the east and forms a swamp in the low-lying land in the south.
If the Han army wants to pass through this place, the only way is to cross the river. (To be continued.) 8
