There was an enemy attack from the front, and the well-trained Sushen cavalry almost instantly formed a formation to meet the enemy.
Thirty thousand troops charged from the front, and another twenty thousand flanked them from the two wings. Although they faced only ten thousand people, they still showed no signs of slackness or contempt.
Hanle breathed a sigh of relief. Although the fourth princess had captured their spies and ambushed them here, the victory or defeat was determined by the strength of the two parties.
Fifty thousand versus ten thousand, how could they win? Did she think she had ten thousand heavy cavalry?
Such thoughts flashed through Hanle's mind. When the 10,000 people from the front were charging towards him, his body shook violently and he almost fell off his horse.
The number of cavalry in front was only ten thousand at most, but they were all wearing armor, even to the eyes.
Not only that, even the war horses beneath them were covered in thick armor.
At this moment, a word came to his mind.
"Remount!"
There had been heavy cavalry in the grassland, but that was more than ten years ago. He was lucky enough to see heavy cavalry charging on the grassland.
The heavy cavalry, covered with solid armor, was basically a moving steel city wall, while the light cavalry was vulnerable in front of them.
A few hundred heavily armed heavy cavalry can easily overwhelm a defense line of thousands or even tens of thousands of light cavalry. When the Hanle Division was at its peak, even the Wanyan Division had to avoid its edge.
But later, their tribe could not afford the huge resources required by the heavy cavalry, and was instead overwhelmed by the heavy cavalry. The leader at that time disbanded the team. Since then, he has never seen the heavy cavalry again, but their terror
, but it left a deep mark on his heart.
They only have 50,000 light cavalry. Even if there were 50,000 or 100,000 more, they would not dare to confront these heavy cavalry head-on.
"Retreat, retreat!"
When he realized that what was charging them was actually 10,000 heavy cavalry, Hanler gave the order to retreat.
He knew very well that when facing heavy cavalry, he could not stand in front of them no matter what.
Fortunately, the terrain here is open. On the grassland, heavy cavalry cannot outrun light cavalry. As long as they avoid their charge, light cavalry can easily drag down heavy cavalry to death.
However, the retreat of 50,000 troops is not such a simple matter. The formation of the team behind him was in chaos for a while. When he was about to retreat to both sides, countless figures suddenly poured out from behind the hills in the distance.
.
The figures were densely packed, more than a hundred thousand.
These people were obviously prepared to ambush here and surrounded Hanle and his 50,000 soldiers and horses.
At this moment, Hanle finally understood why not even one of the spies he sent out came back.
The rushing heavy cavalry did not speed up the attack and crush them with an unrivaled attitude. Instead, they slowly slowed down in the middle and stopped completely when they were still a hundred feet away from the 50,000-strong army.
This distance is enough for them to launch another attack.
Looking around, Hanle's heart sank into the abyss. These people were definitely not the soldiers and horses of the Fourth Princess. The Fourth Princess did not have so many heavy cavalry, let alone so many troops.
These people are Han people. The Han people sent so many soldiers and horses into the grassland to ambush them here. Fifty thousand cavalry were surrounded by them. They were afraid that they would be exterminated this time.
The two leaders beside him had already turned pale with fear. They looked at Hanle and asked in a trembling voice: "Commander, commander, what should we do..."
Fifty thousand soldiers and horses were surrounded in a circle, with frightened expressions on everyone's faces.
They thought this was just a war without suspense, but they didn't expect that there was no suspense. But they were the losers. Not only did the opponent have several times their number of men, but the cavalry surrounded by cold armor made them extremely frightened.
.
Hanler looked around and had already targeted a position. If they didn't charge head-on with these heavy cavalry and found a direction to break out, there was still a possibility of breaking out.
He can surrender to the eldest prince and the fourth princess, but it is absolutely impossible to surrender to the Han people.
At this time, Wanyan Yan came out from behind the heavy horse and looked at Hanle from a distance.
When Hanle looked up and saw her, his expression was stunned.
Wanyanyan moved her lips and was about to speak when Hanle simply turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "Hanle is willing to surrender!"
…
Tang Ning had long discovered that these tribes on the grassland did not have any such thing as integrity. As long as they were all Sushen people, they all had a common ancestor. They would follow whoever was stronger. Therefore, the tribes under the third prince would still be in the future.
It will be theirs.
Naturally, they were reluctant to destroy their own things, so Tang Ning did not give the death order to the 10,000 heavy cavalry. Otherwise, they would do nothing. After surrounding the 50,000 people, they would order these heavy cavalry to charge back and forth several times.
Among tens of thousands of people, there are not many left who can stand up.
Wanyanyan was treated well, and the third prince exploited them without mercy. These days, the people arranged by Ayina were stirring up emotions among them. After they surrounded them, they would then agitate, and maybe they would come over.
This way the losses can be minimized. Wanyan Yan couldn't let go of her people, and Tang Ning couldn't let go of the soldiers of the Chen Kingdom.
What Tangning didn't expect was that Hanle's knowledge was beyond his expectations.
Before Wanyan Yan could say anything, he surrendered himself, and all the generals surrendered. The 50,000 cavalrymen behind him did not hesitate for long before laying down their weapons.
In the hands of the third prince, there are only more than 60,000 strong men capable of fighting. Now half of them have been reduced. The remaining 10,000 men can no longer cause any trouble.
In other words, Tang Ning's trip to the grassland is almost settled.
Wan Yanyan only needs to integrate these tribes to become a real khan.
He breathed a long sigh of relief and suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little strange. When he turned his head, he saw Wan Yanyan's eyes staring straight at him, like a hungry wolf staring at its prey.
Tangning couldn't help but shiver and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Wanyanyan looked at the 10,000 heavy cavalry and said, "Can you lend me these people for two years?"
"No." Tangning rejected her unreasonable request without any hesitation.
These heavy cavalry were Chen Huang's treasures. After the threat on the grassland was lifted, they would return to the capital with him to resume their duties. If these things were lost, he would not be able to explain to Chen Huang.
Wanyanyan shook his arm and said, "Just two years..."
Tangning couldn't resist her teasing, and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, after things here are settled, I will go back to Beijing to help you ask for your Majesty's instructions..."
There is still the threat of black barbarians on the grassland. As long as the grassland and Chen State establish an alliance, Emperor Chen will not ignore it.
He was also worried that after Heiman destroyed Sushen, he would become a threat to Chen Guoxin. He would probably adopt the same strategy as supporting Shuhu and Jiagu to contain the Wanyan tribe, and would fund Sushen's tribes to keep Heiman at Yinshan.
outside.
Ayina and Ayue looked happy and walked over quickly. Ayina looked at Tangning and asked, "Should we work together to capture the third prince?"
"No need." Tang Ning waved her hand and said, "Let people spread the news and be careful with all the tribes. If you are willing to surrender to the Fourth Princess, you can forget the past..."
Most of the third prince's fighting force has been captured by Wan Yanyan, and the rest are just the old, weak, sick and disabled. If the strong men in the family are here, they will naturally follow them.
As for the third prince, he was trapped in the shallows and couldn't make any water splash.
Wanyan is in charge of the department, in the big tent.
The third prince was drinking tea when a figure ran in in a panic and said: "Khan, Chief Hanle..."
The third prince raised his head and asked, "Is Hanle back so soon?"
The man pursed his lips and said in a trembling voice: "Chief Hanle and his fifty thousand soldiers were ambushed midway and were captured by the fourth princess..."
