The Aries King led his people and ran towards the northwest.
During the days of siege, the Huns were certainly not idle.
They repeatedly used light cavalry to test the Han army's firepower from all directions.
Although thousands of people lost their lives, the loss was worth it.
After the breakout began, basically all the nobles and officers had a mental understanding of the Han army's defense and firepower arrangements in the direction of their breakout.
Do you know where the dead end is? Where can you break through more easily?
The fact was just as they thought. When they charged towards a Han army's fire blind spot that they had tested, they quickly rushed out of the way.
There was almost no interception firepower and troop strength in front of them.
Only on both wings were many crossbowmen shooting some intercepting arrows.
However, although the stars are shining brightly tonight, the visibility is much better than the past two nights.
However, the shooting accuracy of the Han army's crossbowmen was still extremely poor.
In fact, even during the day, if a crossbowman wants to hit a high-speed cavalry, it is basically a dream.
In the past, all the Han infantry phalanxes did not rely on precision to achieve damage to the Huns cavalry, but relied on the density of a volley, which could always kill a few unlucky guys...
Therefore, the Aries cavalry are running very happily.
In almost half an hour, they crossed the battlefield that lasted forty miles and penetrated into the core of the Han army's defense.
At this time, resistance and interception became intense.
The intercepting firepower, positions and fortresses of the Han army also increased.
Almost every step forward, someone fell off their horse.
However, the morale and fighting spirit of the Aries tribe have also become high.
Because, as everyone knows, the breakout is just around the corner.
Gu She even encouraged his subordinates: "Everyone, keep working hard. In two hours, we will be able to go home!"
The words "go home" seemed to have magic power, making the Aries Cavalry go crazy all of a sudden.
Countless people, with red eyes, frantically attacked the intercepting Han troops.
Spurred by this, the Aries Cavalry broke through even faster than before.
They galloped all the way, fighting from midnight to dawn.
When the dawn of dawn appeared in the sky, their vanguard even saw the outline of the Wuzhou Mountains.
Countless people cheered!
Finally going home!
Return to the vast grassland where the wind blows the grass and you can see cattle and sheep.
"I don't know if the livestock at home have been glanced at for a long time..." a cavalryman was thinking in his heart.
"The slaves don't know whether they have harvested the grass well..." A nobleman was thinking in his mind.
"Has Mom prepared the cheese?" Some people touched their hungry bellies and missed the cheese and horse milk tea made by their mother.
Gushe reined in his horse, looked back into the distance, and looked at his tribe again.
Although they rushed out during last night's breakout, the Han army's interception and obstruction, as well as the panic in the night, caused many people to be hit by arrows and fall from their horses. Many people fell behind and lost their way, and even more people were injured because of their own or their horses' injuries.
Due to his physical strength, he could no longer run, so he fell into the darkness and was trampled by his own team.
When they first entered the fortress, the entire Aries tribe, including slaves and cavalry, had more than 12,000 people, and nearly 100,000 horses and livestock.
Now, there are only at most 7,000 troops left.
And most of them have exhausted their physical strength.
I don’t know how many people can return to their hometowns and relatives alive...
"The Han Dynasty!" Gushe bit her lip and said, "We, the Aries tribe, will never come again!"
It was originally here to rob.
But in the end, I didn't grab anything, and the entire tribe was almost lost here.
After returning to the grassland, the White Sheep tribe, which lost a large number of young men, livestock and warriors, will inevitably lose countless pastures, livestock and slaves.
On the prairie, other tribes are too lazy to care about the reasons why you are weak.
There, the fist is the truth.
If others have strength in numbers, they can of course take away your pastures, slaves and livestock!
Perhaps Shan Yuting would compensate tens of thousands of livestock and thousands of slaves.
But if you can’t hold on, what can you do?
Gushe knew very well that starting from today, the Aries tribe, which once dominated the entire grassland and dominated Munan and was known as one of the three chariots of Shan Yuting, would be lost to everyone.
It takes at least ten years of rest to recover.
As the leader, he will probably have to take responsibility and step aside to make way for others.
but……
This result is already very good.
As long as you are alive, you have a future and hope!
…………………………………………
Qin Mu led his cavalry, rode their horses, and stood on the mountain, looking at the Xiongnu Aries tribe not far away who were as excited as madmen.
"Sima, do we really not care about them?" A team leader asked: "What if they really cross the mountains?"
"What should we do?" Qin Mu glanced at the other party: "This is not a few people, but thousands of people! Such a team wants to cross the Wuzhou Mountains?"
Qin Mu raised his head and looked at the winding mountains in the distance, and clapped his tongue: "It's impossible not to die 70% of the time!"
Moreover, the Wuzhou Mountains here have dangerous terrain and steep slopes. Not to mention a group of hungry Huns who ran all night and their chests pressed against their backs, even the local hunters dare not say that they can cross this mountain.
!
"Our mission is to keep an eye on them. As long as they don't run away to other places, we can do whatever they want here..." Qin Mu said, "A turtle in a jar can't escape!"
At this moment, the physical strength of the Huns' Aries tribe, from men to horses, had been exhausted.
Although they may not be happy now, Qin Mu knows that as long as they are freed from their excitement, everyone will be a lamb to be slaughtered.
There's no point in fighting them.
"I don't know, how is Yin Zhixie doing now?" Qin Mu turned his gaze to the southwest, thinking.
……………………………………………………
Go back in time one hour.
At this time, it was still dark, but the light of the morning star had gradually faded, and a faint light appeared in the east.
Yin Zhixie led his cavalry and galloped through the dark battlefield.
From the moment the breakout began, Yin Zhixie discovered that he was in big trouble.
The firepower and interception intensity of the Han army far exceeded his imagination.
It was as if the Han people already knew that he was going in this direction.
Arrows were flying everywhere.
Although the accuracy is almost negligible, the vast majority of crossbowmen close their eyes and shoot towards the sound.
If you do this, you can naturally imagine the chance of hitting the target.
But there are so many bows and crossbows that the Han army can’t handle!
Hundreds of crossbows are fired at once, and the blind cat can always catch a few dead mice.
What's more, his troops and horses are actually not very sufficient, both in terms of condition and physical strength.
In a dark environment, everyone wants to escape as quickly as possible, and mistakes will inevitably be made.
On the battlefield, mistakes mean death, especially for cavalry. If you are not careful, you will be overturned.
Moreover, as they continued to move north, the interception efforts of the Han army began to become stronger.
Just like it is now.
Yin Zhi looked sideways at the Han army camp standing in the firelight. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, and his heart seemed to be bleeding.
Because the Han troops in that camp have actually left the camp!
By the light of the fire, Yin Zhi could see clearly from a long distance.
This is a cavalry!
There were about a few hundred people. In the past, Yin Zhi could kill such a number of cavalry with his eyes closed.
But now...
Yin Zhi glanced sideways behind him and to his left and right, at the Han army camps in the firelight.
He knew that he didn't have time to tangle with these Han cavalry.
Now, every second may determine life or death.
There is no way!
Yin Zhi gritted his teeth and said to one of the guards behind him: "Shade the lake! You lead three hundred cavalry to stop those Han cavalry!"
Yin Zhixie knew very well that the Han people did this on purpose!
Deliberately putting down a small group of cavalry to intercept him where he must pass.
If he ignores them, these cavalrymen will cling to him like gangrene on their bones.
The only option was to throw a piece of meat down for these Han soldiers to eat.
Just like on the grassland, a herdsman acting alone when encountering a pack of wolves wants to survive?
You have to throw away an animal to feed them.
But the problem is...
Yin Zhixie already knew that there would be countless such hungry wolves waiting for him on the next road.
From now on, every time he takes a step forward, he needs to give up part of his cavalry.
Until there is nothing left to give up!
But he had no choice!
He can only act according to the Han army's intentions, otherwise, he will soon face the end.
When the guard named Shehu heard this, he didn't make any sound. He just reined in his horse silently, and then led his men and rushed towards the Han cavalry in front as if they were dead.
The only thing he can do is to use his own life to open a bloody path for his master to escape!
Yin Zhixie didn't even have time to sigh, so he continued to ride his horse forward.
However, he walked less than a mile when he encountered another group of Han cavalry who had set out to block the road.
"Be the butcher!" Yin Zhixie continued to call out the name of a personal guard who had served him since childhood without any hesitation.
When the other party heard this, he also silently reined in his horse, turned around, and faced death with his own steps, just like wading into a lake.
……………………
After doing this again and again, not only Yin Zhixie, but also the few Han merchants who had been following Yin Zhixie became extremely frightened.
"This is an ambush from all sides!" A Han merchant who had read the book shouted in horror: "This is the tactics of the Marquis of Huaiyin!"
He cried and jumped off his horse, unwilling to leave anyway. He said to the others: "We are dead! King Xiang has not escaped from the siege of this tactics! How can we escape?"
For decades, Confucian scholars in the south and southeast have deified and praised Xiang Yu.
Almost giving it the status of a ghost.
And he is also an extremely powerful ghost!
Folk legends are rife with tales of King Xiang's ghost army taking revenge and demanding lives.
The mysterious deaths of Lu Shi, the Marquis of Zhongshui, and Lu Sheng, the Marquis of Niyang, have added countless mysterious colors to these legends.
Even a great hero like King Xiang, who became a giant of ghosts and gods after his death, was killed by the Marquis of Huaiyin with the method of ambush from ten sides. Who can ordinary people resist?
When other Han merchants heard this, they were frightened to death.
Since the establishment of the Han Dynasty, House of Flying Daggers has been praised for its miraculous skills.
From the people to the officialdom, and even to the court, countless gossips, literati and scholars who had never led a soldier before gave full play to their imagination and brainstorming, and described House of Flying Daggers with miraculous skills.
Many alchemists and warlocks also joined in, adding to the splendor.
To this day, even an old farmer in the countryside can tell the story of ambush from all sides in a dazzling way.
As for the truth, no one cares.
In all the story versions, there are descriptions of the Huaiyin Marquis intercepting layers of troops, causing Xiang Yu's army to shrink.
At this moment, the situation in front of me looks very much like the legendary House of Flying Daggers?
Seeing this, Yin Zhixian glanced at these merchants.
House of Flying Daggers?
Of course he heard about it too.
Many stories about the civil war in the Han Dynasty were not only circulated within the Great Wall, but also spread widely outside the Great Wall because Han Wangxin, Lu Wan and Chen Xi led their men to defect to the Huns.
But he didn't have time to talk to these businessmen at the moment, and he didn't have time to think at all.
"Don't worry about them!" Yin Zhixie threw away these lackeys like garbage: "We keep moving forward, and we will break out of the encirclement soon!"
At this moment, the sky is getting brighter and dawn is beginning to appear.
Before the sun appears, Yin Zhixie and his army must break out of the Han army's encirclement, otherwise, they will have no chance!
However, a quarter of an hour later, the scene that appeared in front of Yin Zhixia made him almost despair!
I saw, in the wilderness not far away, a huge black dragon flag fluttering in the wind.
Under the banner, war drums rumbled, and Han soldiers, riding war horses, lined up in neat queues, facing the Hun cavalry who had been exhausted and suffered heavy losses after charging in the Han camp all night.
Yi Zong was riding a war horse, wearing a typical uniform of a Han general, and looked up at the Huns cavalry in the distance.
Yi Zong turned to look at a prisoner beside him and said to him: "Go and talk to your Righteous King. Ask him to dismount and surrender, and stop committing murderous crimes!"
"No!" The prisoner nodded, and then he rode forward, walked out of the Han army's formation, walked about a hundred steps away from the Huns cavalry, and shouted loudly in the Huns dialect: "Tu She, the warrior of the Huns
You guys, it’s impossible for you to break out of the siege of the Han King’s army!”
"You are hungry, you are exhausted, and there is no way to fight anymore!" The prisoner shouted loudly: "Surrender, Emperor Rensheng of the Han Dynasty, as long as you surrender, you can survive!"
……………………
Yin Zhi reined in his horse and looked at the Han army on the opposite side. Then, he looked back at his men.
Before breaking through, he still had at least 7,000 horses.
But now, there are only three to four thousand sparse people left.
Moreover, most of them were injured.
The situation of the war horses is even worse.
Many people have become infantry, and their horses are no longer enough to carry their masters' charge.
In the distance, the sounds of fighting and fighting began to slowly stop.
The troops he left behind and those who fell behind and abandoned them are all heading towards their end.
Yin Zhixie took a deep breath. On the grassland, any tribe would surrender in such a situation.
but……
Yin Zhi raised his head sideways and said, "I am the Righteous King of the Great Huns!"
"He is the ancestral lineage of the Great Chanyu of Maodun and the nephew of the great Chanyu!"
"Only You Tushe died in battle, but Yin Zhixie did not surrender!"
He pulled out his trumpet, kissed it one last time, and blew it.
"Warriors, charge with me!" Yin Zhixie roared loudly, and then he took the lead and rushed out.
Behind him, more than a thousand wounded cavalry looked at each other silently, and then rode up to follow: "Tushe! We are coming!"
…………………………………………
Yi Zong looked at this situation and shook his head.
He waved his hand and ordered: "Prepare the breastplate and give him a ride!"
Under such disadvantages and circumstances, even though he knew he was going to die, he still charged.
Such people and troops deserve respect even if they are enemies.
The greatest respect for a warrior is to die under the hooves of the strongest army in the world.
"No!" The cuirassier officers in the Han army became excited when they heard the order.
Kill the Xiongnu Youxian King in formation!
This is the supreme glory and honor!
"Breastplate, obey the order!" Each of the corps commanders began to yell at their soldiers: "Ready!"
The lance was flattened, and the horse began to accelerate slowly.
The charge of the Hun cavalry on the opposite side was still two hundred steps away from the breastplate.
"Get ready!" the chiefs began to order, and the horses speeded up again.
Nearly two thousand riders lined up in two rows, forming a dense formation.
……………………
Yin Zhi was riding sideways on his horse. He had a wide field of vision, and of course he saw the strange cavalry who started to line up in front of the Han army's formation.
These cavalry are so high-profile!
Whether it was their equipment, stature, horses or formation, they all told Yin Zhixie that this was a cavalry he had never seen before!
A brand new threat of terrifyingly powerful cavalry!
"Is this the cavalry that ruined Zhelan?" Yin Zhixie thought in his mind: "Let me see how powerful you are and how you can defeat Zhelan people until they collapse!"
There were still fifty steps away from the Han cavalry. Yin Zhi drew out his bronze collar and roared loudly.
At this moment, his appearance made many Huns cavalry think they were seeing the great leader who had led them many times into the hinterland of the Han Dynasty, burning, killing, looting, and enjoying endless joy.
The eagle that defeated the Yuezhi and shocked the entire grassland!
In the past, for countless years, the best trick of the Huns cavalry was to use language, appearance, and the sound they made when charging to shake the enemy's mind and will.
However, today, their unique trick was completely ineffective in front of the Han cavalry on the opposite side.
Those cavalrymen wearing iron helmets, brightly dressed and angry horses, and armors as beautiful as gems, seemed like stones. They did not react. They just quietly raised their lances and used them at a speed slightly slower than their charging speed.
, coming up like a wall.
When there was only thirty steps left between the two armies.
All the Hun cavalry, including those who stayed behind to watch, heard a uniform roar: "Breastplate charge!"
Han Qi suddenly accelerated to a terrifying speed.
If they were a calm mountain before, then now, they are a violent hurricane.
In this brief moment, the speed of the Han army almost doubled!
Then, like meteorites, carrying the strong wind, they collided with the oncoming Hun cavalry.
…………………………………………
"Shaole..." Yi Zong looked at the battlefield ahead, his face full of intoxication.
Behind him, the officers of the Confederate Army, the Northern Army, and even the Flying Fox Army and the Juzhu Army all had expressions of enjoyment on their faces.
For soldiers, there is indeed no more beautiful music in this world than when a group of well-trained cuirassiers are charging.
They are the sharp sword that punishes the barbarians, the strong shield that protects civilization, the music that sings the praises of war, and the knell that brings death.
"With this iron cavalry, why worry about the world being unjust and the world not accepting it?" Su Fei, the captain of Juzhu Army, sighed with emotion, and then made a small calculation in his heart.
To be fair, his Ju Zhujun is indeed qualified to apply for the priority to equip breastplates.
………………………………
When the breastplate charged, Yin Zhi's entire slanted pupils suddenly dilated.
"Is this the secret cavalry of the Han people, the divine cavalry?" He sighed in his heart: "It is indeed worthy of its reputation, it is indeed a divine cavalry!"
There is no one who knows his opponent better than a soldier.
When the breastplate began to charge at full speed, Yin Zhixie already knew his fate.
but……
"Luan Tuan was born in charge, and he should die in charge!" he shouted, and faced him with a ferocious face.
Tenth of a second later, Yin Zhixie saw his body flying into the sky.
A surprisingly long lance, with huge kinetic energy, penetrated his body effortlessly, and then lifted him high off the horse.
"Awesome!" Yin Zhixie exclaimed in praise.
The movements, techniques and tactics of the Han army's riders had amazed him at that moment.
Without thousands of repeated exercises, it would be impossible to achieve this cleanly and without hesitation.
However, the rider didn't even care about the enemy he penetrated, and without even looking at it, he decisively abandoned his lance and drew his saber.
Yin Zhixie, who fell off his horse, looked carefully. At the moment when the rider dropped his lance, the entire first row of riders of the Han army dropped their lances and drew their sabers at the same time.
"Zhelan, you are not unjustly defeated!" Yin Zhi closed his eyes. He no longer needed to look. He knew that no cavalry or tribe of the Huns could survive for more than a quarter of an hour in front of this Han army.
.
Such cavalry is no longer something that mortals can resist.
Their lances, their sabers, their equipment, and their tactics are beyond this world.
At the last moment of his life, Yin Zhixie seemed to have traveled through time and returned to his childhood.
During that period, the Huns Empire was at its peak.
His father led the Huns' cavalry to conquer the north and south, sweeping across the entire world. Whether it was the Han Dynasty in the south or the Western Regions and Yueshi in the west, they all trembled under the hooves of the Huns' cavalry.
"Yin Zhixie!" His father's strong body picked him up and said, "You have to remember that the Luantang family was born to enslave and rule the world. Everyone, whether they are from the Han Dynasty, the Western Regions or
The Yuezhi people and the Donghu people are all slaves of my great Huns!"
"We will trample on their dignity, rape their wives and daughters, kill their children, take away their wealth, and make them tremble when they see us and dare not resist!"
"What if they are stronger than us?" My little self asked innocently.
"Strong?" My father laughed loudly: "In the whole world, is there any country more powerful than my great Huns? Is there an army more powerful than my great Huns' cavalry? No! Even the Han Dynasty can only rely on
Fortress, try your best to resist, and let the cavalry of my great Huns burn down their villages, kill and plunder their people. Finally, you have to obediently send the delicate royal princess and gold silk in exchange for peace from me, the great Huns!"
"They are the lambs raised by my great Huns. Once they are fattened, they will be slaughtered once!"
"Father, the Han Dynasty is stronger than us!" He vomited blood and looked back at the distance, the distant grassland: "Military minister, will you be happy if I die?"
Yin Zhi, the great hero of the generation and the right virtuous king of the Xiongnu, died in Xixie.
…………………………
The battle ended quickly.
Half an hour later, almost all the Huns still alive chose to surrender.
They surrendered so simply that Yi Zong even suspected that these people and the Huns cavalry who followed Yin Zhixie to charge to their deaths were from two different groups.
However, the facts are very clear, they are indeed Huns, and they are the genuine Huns!
"All the brave people have died, and the rest are cowards and frightened trash!" A Han army officer said with emotion, looking at the battlefield where the breastplate was trampled and crushed.
Yi Zong nodded after hearing this.
This is a fact!
War has always been a game of equipment, tactics and bravery.
All the brave soldiers died, and the remaining people, no matter how many there were, were just sheep and ants.
Just like the Wu Chu rebels a few years ago.
All the warriors were dead, and even if there were still hundreds of thousands of rebels, they immediately dispersed like birds and beasts.
"So, we must promote martial virtue!" Yi Zong said: "Now that the emperor values heroes and the world loves martial artists, as martial artists like us enjoy high official positions and generous salaries and are worshiped by the world, we should repay the emperor and the people of the world with victory and bravery.
expect!"
Then, Yi Zong rode his horse and came to the Hun cavalry who died in the battle. He looked at the Hun cavalry and nobles who were stabbed or cut into pieces by lances and sabers.
As a general, Yi Zong knew that after a great victory and killing, kindness and benevolence must be exerted.
This is just an act to show the world that we are not bloodthirsty and rude people.
At the same time, it is also about winning people's hearts, comforting prisoners of war, and preparing for the future and the next war.
Yi Zong remembered that he had seen it in a book.
At that time, in the Battle of Changping, Bai Qi brazenly killed Zhao Jun and surrendered his soldiers.
The result aroused the common hatred of Zhao State and the indignation of the whole world.
As a result, in the Battle of Handan, the Qin army was defeated miserably and was almost pushed back to Hangu Pass by the coalition forces of various countries.
Qin's great cause of unification was delayed for decades because of this!
"Come here!" Yi Zong called his lieutenant and ordered: "Bury these Huns alive. Except for cutting off the heads, the bodies must not be desecrated!"
The enemies are already dead, and if you take advantage of other people's corpses to vent your anger, you are not a martial artist, you are a reckless person! (To be continued.)
