The Han army's cuirassiers, lined up in dense formation, were like a hurricane, sweeping through the Xiongnu's formation.
In just two minutes, two thousand Han cavalry rushed through the Huns' military formation at high speed, resisting attacks from all directions.
The once arrogant and intimidating Zhelan tribe in Northeast Asia collapsed during the charge of the Han army.
At the same time, the courage, pride and pride of Zhelan people also collapsed!
At the moment when the military commander fell.
The entire Zhelan army formation stared blankly at the Han army cuirassiers who were still unscathed after waving sabers and wreaking havoc from their own Chinese army formation.
Then, there is a big collapse!
The big collapse first occurred on Zhelan's right wing.
Here is an attack arrow consisting of slaves and shamans.
Originally, they would first attack the Han army's central formation and use their lives to clear the way for the following Zhelan cavalry.
Then, when the Han army's cavalry broke through the military formation of Zhelan's headquarters one after another.
These originally crazy slave soldiers and shamans only felt that a deep-rooted image in their hearts was shattered.
Even the army formation composed of the invincible masters and nobles could not stop the Han Dynasty people from attacking!
What about us?
More importantly, the Zhelan tribe's invincible status was directly shattered by the Han Dynasty with three charges.
Many people simply cannot bear such a blow.
Their outlook on life was completely destroyed.
This is like the neon locust army in World War II that was really crazy and even clamored for 100 million pieces of jade.
However, after Midi planted two love mushrooms in his native land.
The madman instantly turned into the little loli from the erotic manga.
I'm just afraid that I'm not serving my father well enough.
Now, when Zhelan's central army formation was directly trampled by the Han cavalry, even the big banner fell down, and King Zhelan didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
These people immediately lost all will to fight.
I don’t know who shouted: “The king is dead and Zhelan is defeated!”
This sentence immediately became an infectious disease more terrifying than the T virus.
In a short period of time, it was infected to almost all the Zhelan cavalry on the right wing.
Including slaves and elite riders from Zhelan headquarters.
So, in the Cold Weapon Age, what all armies feared most happened.
A large number of cavalry began to disperse.
They spread the disease of failure and despair to others on their side.
"The king is dead! Zhelan is defeated!" One knight after another muttered these words with dull eyes, and then followed the deserters and fled for their lives.
The number of these defeated troops was actually not large at the beginning.
There were probably only a few hundred people.
However, when they started running for their lives.
Immediately, the entire Zhelan army formation was torn to pieces.
Then, the snowball started.
Even those Zhelan cavalry who still wanted to resist, still wanted to fight, and still wanted to fight, were coerced by this rout and fled together.
Occasionally, a few nobles who wanted to enforce strict military discipline attempted to bring their own soldiers to stabilize order.
However, as the Han army's cuirassiers rushed behind Zhelan's headquarters, they once again formed a team and made a charge.
The defeated soldiers screamed in despair, and then swarmed forward, drowning these masters and nobles who had been so high up in the past and did not even dare to look at them under the hoofs of their horses.
So, when Yi Zong led more than 3,000 Han troops to the Zhelan Formation, the Han troops went up and down and were shocked to find that they were no longer needed to rush into the formation.
Zhelan himself collapsed.
This terrifying and powerful enemy has shaken the entire world in the past and spread endless fear and hatred.
They collapsed in front of the more powerful and invincible Han army's ace, the cuirassiers.
There were scattered Zhelan cavalry everywhere.
These defeated troops, in a short moment, threw the entire Zhelan front into chaos and never took shape again.
What's more frightening is that these broken troops are unorganized and undisciplined.
Some people want to resist, some want to escape, and even more want to surrender altogether.
Even within the three factions of resistance, escape and surrender, they are divided into countless small factions.
Those who resisted wanted to fight the cuirassiers to the death and draw blood in the end.
There are also realists who feel that going to the breastplate again is tantamount to seeking death, so they should go back and fight the Han army's light cavalry, so that they can at least get a few backs.
The escape faction is even more exaggerated.
Some people want to run to the south, where there are King Youxian, King Loufan and King Aries.
But more people just want to go home, to their homes at the foot of the Qilian Mountains.
There are even some people who are so imaginative that they can't escape either from the south or the north. They can only run into the mountains in the west and east. There are some trails there and they can escape back to the grassland.
Even among the surrender faction, there are also those who surrender with honor and those who surrender on the spot.
The so-called honorable surrender faction are some nobles and military officers within the Zhelan tribe.
They felt that the one who defeated them was the god-like Han army.
If you want to surrender, of course you have to surrender to them.
In this way, your honor and dignity will not be damaged.
It is not shameful to surrender to the divine soldiers and generals.
Not only is it not shameful, but it is also glorious.
Becoming a slave of God is even more of an honor.
Those who surrendered on the spot were slaves, shamans and some lower-level cavalry who had lost all their courage, had no ideas, and just wanted to survive.
Their idea is simple.
As long as you survive, it doesn't matter whether you are honorable or not!
So, in such a complicated situation.
The most terrifying thing happened in front of the Han army.
There was chaos, and the Zhelan people, who had lost their organization and order, trampled on each other.
Countless people and horses collided with each other.
Countless people were knocked off their horses or knocked down along with their horses.
Then, these poor people were trampled into pulp by their own war horses.
Even in some areas, these cavalry began to kill each other.
The fleeing faction, the surrendering faction, and the resisting faction were fighting each other.
Soon the situation got out of hand.
…………………………………………
The chaos among the Zhelan people continued until nightfall.
When the moon rises.
The battlefield during the day was already a mess.
The remains of fallen horses and corpses can be seen everywhere.
The blood dyed the turf of the entire plain purple-black, and countless mosquitoes were flying all over the sky.
Bronze collars, meteor hammers, and bronze arrowheads were scattered on the land with a radius of more than ten miles.
The Xiongnu's ace main force, the Zhelan tribe known as the whip of the Chanyu, which once shocked the entire known world and terrified countless nations, no longer exists.
The once majestic flag that followed the Zhelan people in their southern and northern campaigns and destroyed countless countries became a trophy of the Han army.
Along with it, there were countless heads that became the trophies of the Han army.
A mountain of heads.
Each one has disheveled heads with scars on their faces.
There were so many heads that the Han soldiers responsible for beheading them were overwhelmed.
Yi Zong rode his horse and walked past the place where the cuirassiers first charged.
The battlefield in front of him was like hell.
Then in the bright starlight, Yi Zong even saw three Zhelan cavalrymen strung on a lance.
"One general's success will lead to thousands of bones being withered..." Yi Zong pondered his emotions for a while, and said in a somewhat sad and pretentious manner.
However, he then smiled slightly: "Other people's bones are withered, what does it have to do with me, and what does it have with the world?"
In this battle, the Han army's losses were very few compared to the huge and glorious results!
Of the entire army, only eight hundred people were killed, but there were quite a few wounded.
There were 2,000 cuirassiers, and more than 900 were wounded.
But most of them are chest armor injuries.
These are all flesh wounds and will heal in a few days.
Only a few unlucky ones were hit head-on by the Huns' bronze collars and meteor hammers. Although they didn't feel anything at the time, as soon as they took a rest and removed their armor, they immediately discovered that their injuries were very serious.
You may even be forced to retire.
But it doesn't matter, even if a veteran of the cuirassier has his limbs broken, the emperor will support him for the rest of his life.
Moreover, such an experienced veteran has no worries about his future!
Yi Zong already knew that, and many commanders in both the Northern and Southern armies were staring eagerly at the dozens of wounded soldiers with breastplates who might have to be retired.
They became meat and potatoes.
If you want to form a cuirassier, there is no more suitable candidate than such an experienced veteran.
There are also about 2,000 wounded soldiers in other units.
"Tomorrow, after cleaning the battlefield and collecting the corpses, the entire army will retreat to Wuzhou Fortress for repairs!" Yi Zong ordered to the left and right.
After this battle, the Han army he led was actually exhausted and could no longer fight.
Moreover, after such a glorious victory, the entire army also urgently needs to stay calm and calm to prevent accidents.
Then, he began to think about how to write a report to Chang'an. (To be continued.)
