After scolding the civilian officers, Yi Zong returned his attention to the battlefield.
He raised his telescope and looked at Xu Huanqi, the Xiongnu's elite and absolute main force.
At this moment, these terrifying Huns cavalry had completed preparations for the encirclement attack. Within a quarter of an hour, they formed a twenty-mile long slope on the left flank of the battlefield.
"They are indeed the most elite of the Xiongnu, the minions of the Chanyu..." Yi Zong compared them with the Zhelan cavalry, and finally he knew that this was a troop that was likely to surpass the Zhelan cavalry in terms of combat capabilities.
of cavalry.
Moreover, their weapons and equipment are an era ahead of the original Zhelan people.
The weapons used by the Zhelan people are mainly primitive bronze collars and bronze knives.
Their bows are also short bows common on the grasslands.
The most important thing was that they had no stirrups and saddles, so when facing the Han army, they could only be beaten passively.
These shortcomings made the Zhelan people almost vulnerable to the Han army.
However, the current Xu Huan Army does not have these shortcomings.
"An enhanced version of the Zhelan Cavalry?" Yi Zong thought in his mind: "If this cavalry is annihilated, the backbone of the Huns will be completely broken!"
The last time the Han army completely wiped out the Zhelan cavalry, the result was that in the Battle of Gaoque, the Huns fled in the face of the wind, and many key places were almost defeated in one fell swoop.
Moreover, the Huns no longer dared to invade the Daibei Great Wall, so they could only take a long way to the Yanji area.
If Xu Huan's army was completely wiped out here, wouldn't it be possible to gain a complete psychological advantage over the Xiongnu?
Never underestimate the huge strategic advantage brought by psychological advantages.
I remember back then, during the Battle of Julu, the Qin army was so majestic that the armies of the eastern princes were helpless and could only flee.
Even if Xiang Yu led his troops to help, these princes' troops only acted as human beings in the entire battle.
That battle gave birth to countless idioms and allusions.
Among them, "Viewing from the Wall" is a description of the armies of these princes.
A few decades later, when the Qin State unified the world, how many troops fled in front of the Qin Army and surrendered without a fight?
Yi Zong knew very well that as long as this battle could completely wipe out the Xu Huan army.
Then in the future, the Han army will become the nemesis in front of the Huns.
Five thousand to thirty thousand, two thousand to one hundred thousand, will no longer be a legend.
However, if you want to completely wipe out this cavalry, you have to pay a price.
"Order: The breastplate begins to be armored..." Yi Zong waved his hand and ordered: "Order the captain of Xiliu Camp to prepare to meet the enemy!"
Yi Zong's current total force, including auxiliary troops and tunnel camps, totals about 23,000.
Among them, there are about 4,000 people from the northern and southern armies.
Xiliu camp has 12,000 horses.
In addition, there are two cuirassier corps with 1,700 cavalry left by the Flying Fox Army (full strength of 2,000) and a ranger corps with more than 1,000 men.
Other than that, they are all auxiliary soldiers.
Naturally, these auxiliary soldiers cannot be considered as combatants. Unless there is a crisis, who will let the cooks and grooms go to the battlefield?
Moreover, even in times of crisis, these people are useless.
The regular army was defeated, and the auxiliary soldiers were just sent to death.
Therefore, the available troops currently available to Yi Zong are between approximately 17,000 and 19,000.
Now, he has invested 3,700 cavalry on the right wing, and almost all the main forces of the North and South armies in the center.
He still has about eleven thousand horses on hand.
Among these fighting forces, there are four thousand cavalry, and he will not move.
This is the reserve force of the Han army, a new force in case of emergencies.
It is also responsible for the sharp knife that finally delivers the fatal blow to the Huns cavalry.
The cuirassiers cannot move for the time being.
It's not time for them to show up yet.
In other words, the troops Yi Zong can use now are only 6,000 cavalry.
It's just right. It may be about a thousand less than the Xiongnu Xuhuan Army, but it doesn't matter.
Because this cavalry is the old battalion of Xiliu Camp!
Almost all soldiers have five or more years of military experience.
The military officer class has participated in almost all wars from the Wu-Chu Rebellion to the present.
It can be said that they are the real elite of the Han family, a battle-hardened iron army!
…………………………………………
When the Xuhuan cavalry led by Lan Zheye completed their circuit on the battlefield, he reined in his horses and observed the situation on the battlefield.
But, how could he see the entire battlefield clearly?
This is also a problem faced by all military commanders in the classical era.
The battlefield is too big!
No matter how awesome the commander is, even Bai Qi and Sun Wu cannot see the overall situation!
They can only see a corner of the battlefield or the situation on the surface of the battlefield.
Just like the current Han-Hungarian battlefield.
From the left wing of the Han army to the right wing of the Han army, it is more than forty miles long. Even if Yi Zong holds a telescope, it is difficult to see all places clearly.
As for Lan Zheye, naturally all he saw was a vague scene.
This made him very happy.
At this moment, in his eyes, the situation of the Xiongnu army was not bad, but great.
In the middle army, the Black Crow Cavalry rushed through the Han army's defense and penetrated hundreds of steps into its depth. The two armies were killed in a mass, and the corpses were piled up one after another.
The Huns cavalry kept advancing.
Since we are moving forward, it must be a smooth war!
As for the right wing, he didn't see it very clearly.
But at least, it can be seen that the Han and Hungarian cavalry are fighting in a melee, and almost all the troops on the right wing of the Han army have been mobilized.
What are you waiting for?
Lan Zheye raised his whip and gave an order with high spirits: "The great Wolf God is watching his people! Warriors, the beauties of the seventy-two tribes of the Kingdom of God are waiting for you! Charge! Kill!"
The Xuzhou cavalrymen were immediately stimulated, their eyes turned red, and their hearts became excited.
Everyone among them knew that Shanyu had offered an unprecedented reward. The killing of one Han Dynasty person was worth ten Daxia people!
And if you kill an officer, you will be directly promoted to the nobility!
Even if you die in battle, you can return to the wolf god's kingdom.
Fantastic!
"Kill!" Xuhuan's cavalry roared wildly. At this moment, there was only killing in their eyes!
……………………
Lan Zheye never dreamed that at this moment, directly south of the battlefield, at the foot of the Great Wall in the Xixi area.
The envoy of the Xiongnu Chanyu military officials humbly held a staff and walked to Commander Li Guang's tent on a mountain under the angry gazes of the Han soldiers.
"The envoy from the Huns met with the general of the Han Dynasty..." The envoy held his credentials in both hands and paid homage to Li Guang: "By the order of my lord, I came here to reconcile with the Han Dynasty and resolve the misunderstanding!"
Li Guanggao lay on his commanding position and smiled slightly.
He remembered clearly how arrogant and arrogant the Huns were when he surrendered to the army eighteen years ago.
But now, the Xiongnu Chanyu had to send envoys to beg for peace with him.
For Li Guang, the Huns want to beg for peace?
There are no doors!
He hasn't killed enough yet!
but……
Considering that the main force of the Yi Zong was fighting the Huns cavalry on the battlefield, in order to buy time for the cavalry general, he reluctantly stood up and said with a smile: "Does your country really want to suspend its troops?"
Without waiting for the other party to answer, he said: "It's just that I don't have the power to negotiate peace with your country, how about this? Please wait for me to ask the emperor for instructions... In the meantime, your country and I will cease fighting along the front..."
The Huns envoy immediately became a loser!
From here to Chang'an in the Han Dynasty, it would take at least half a month, even if you work hard!
It takes a month to come and go!
After a month, the day lilies were cold!
Besides...
Even if the general of the Han Dynasty did not cheat, the emperor of the Han Dynasty would say: I don’t need it!
Isn’t this month of waiting in vain?
If it had been before, this messenger would have really wanted to walk away and start another war.
But now, the situation is stronger than people!
The Han Dynasty not only took the absolute initiative on the battlefield, but also had an elite force inserted into the back of the Xiongnu.
Xuhu's army, Black Crow Cavalry, and Forced Cavalry were in danger, and the Huns' livestock herds were also in danger.
At this moment, for the Xiongnu, it was truly a critical moment, a matter of life and death.
Don't wait even one more second!
We must reach an agreement with the Han Dynasty. The two countries will cease their troops and let the Han Dynasty let them go back!
For this reason, they must agree to any conditions.
There was no other way, so the envoy had no choice but to lower his eyebrows and smile submissively: "This...general...since the general is willing to make peace with our country, then please let the general open the road and allow the envoy to go to Yaoyang and Baitan to inform the covert team.
To avoid bad misunderstandings..."
"Misunderstanding?" Li Guang laughed.
Between the Han and the Huns, the Huns misunderstood the Han Dynasty for decades, couldn't the Han army also misunderstand the Huns?
"Exactly..." The envoy squeezed out a smile that was uglier than bitter, and bowed: "Isn't there an old saying in your country? It's better to dissolve enemies than to marry them! Besides, the Shanyu of our country and the emperor of your country are good husband-in-laws.
, Mrs. Xia, the emperor of your country, is the Yan family in Beihai, our country... Please consider it carefully, general..."
"Beihai Yan family?" Li Guang laughed.
If it were anyone else, they might really hesitate about this matter.
But Li Guang once served as a guard!
He once saw with his own eyes that the emperor's favorite concubine, Mrs. Xia, was admonishing the Huns' dowry slaves in Shanglin Garden.
Li Guang still remembers clearly what Mrs.
The Emperor of the Han Dynasty, learn the Chinese language, abide by the Chinese laws, and make no mistakes!"
This is a contemporary Empress Dowager Xuan!
Will she be concerned about the Huns?
I'm afraid I wish the Huns would die!
because……
Only when the Xiongnu dies can the prince she will give birth to in the future have a chance to compete for the throne.
Otherwise, if a Xiongnu is standing there, her heirs will never have a chance!
You may even be implicated and affected!
However, this does not prevent Li Guang from using this matter as a show.
He seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said to the envoy: "In that case, please allow me to ask the superior for instructions..."
At this moment, the messenger's heart felt like a cuckoo weeping blood.
He knew very well that the Han Dynasty's army now stood on the main road between the north and the south.
This separated the Xuhuan Army, Black Crow Cavalry and Forced Luo Cavalry from the north from the main force of the Xiongnu.
They are now exposed to the attack range of the Han Dynasty's elites. Every quarter of an hour adds to the danger!
You know, the man who led the army was a chariot general of the Han Dynasty!
That devil who kills without blinking an eye, legend has it, eats thirty Hun babies every day!
"May I ask General, how long will it take?" He licked his face and complimented: "If the General can be accommodating, my lord is willing to give 10,000 cattle and sheep as a thank you gift!"
"Ten thousand cattle and sheep?" Li Guang sneered.
Don't say that he doesn't love glory and wealth, but he really loves it. He has only 10,000 cattle and sheep, and he wants to bribe him, who has served as a nine minister, and now he is the lieutenant of the Yan Kingdom and the governor of Yuyang County. Two thousand stones? The Han family
A member of the general sequence?
Doesn’t this look down upon the Han family’s two thousand stones?
Apart from other things, Li Guang had heard that back then, when Princess Guantao was at the peak of her power and her power was overwhelming, the princes who wanted to use her to gain two thousand dan offered a price of 30 million yuan and two thousand gold.
!
Even so, not many can achieve their wish!
As for now, if a county guard with two thousand stones puts it up for auction.
Li Guang guarantees that the princes and princes will probably raise the price to a sky-high price of 10 million or more!
Are these ten thousand cattle and sheep trying to bribe a Han Dynasty official?
Totally humiliating!
However, since the Huns were willing to give money, why didn't he take it?
He laughed and said: "Then, please send the cattle and sheep from your country immediately!"
He sat up astride his big horse with a golden sword: "In addition, I will give you 500 more high-quality war horses!"
"When the things are delivered, I will give your country a reply..."
The envoy thought for a while, and finally said helplessly: "No! As the general wishes, the envoy immediately ordered people to prepare what the general needs..."
………………………………
At this time, on the battlefield, the Xiongnu troops were riding wildly, forming formations that looked chaotic, but actually cooperated with each other tacitly.
They roared, trying to get behind the Han army from the flanks of the Han army.
This is actually exciting!
Provoked the Han army to go to war!
This is also one of the unique languages of horseback riding. Can any cavalry understand it? Do you have the courage? If you have the courage, come out and fight! If you don’t have the courage, squat down and watch me poke your anus!
Of course the Han army will not be timid!
Wei Chi rode a war horse, held the lance in his hand, sneered and said: "The Huns want to fight? Then let's fight!"
"Pass my order!" He raised his lance, pointed forward, and said, "The Huns will be destroyed today!"
"The captain has an order..." Dozens of cavalry messengers immediately rushed out. They walked along the vast plain and passed in front of the Han army's left-wing cavalry array: "The Xiongnu will be destroyed today!"
"Victory!" the soldiers replied loudly, and then got on their horses one after another.
In an instant, the entire left wing of the Han army was filled with murderous intent.
"Attack!" Wei Chi waved his hand, and the battle flag behind him immediately pressed forward. Hundreds of light cavalry surrounded him and galloped down the hillside. Then, on the entire left wing, six cavalry formations moved at the wind, like a sickle.
, like a sea tide, rushing straight towards the Xiongnu army.
At this moment, in the middle of the Han army, the sound of war drums suddenly became excited.
At the foot of a hillside, the cuirassiers began to gather. (To be continued.)
