Seeing Master Chen easily split the Huns' battle formation in half, Ri Zhu couldn't help but be overjoyed. He followed Chen Cheng into Linrong City and killed so many Huns nobles.
He turned back. For him, the more powerful Chen Chengjun is, the more beneficial it is to him.
"Kill! The Huns have been defeated!"
Ri Zhu shouted while leading four hundred cavalry and charged forward. The Huns following him saw that the enemy on the opposite side showed their weakness so easily, and their morale immediately became strong. The Huns and other grassland peoples
They are all born in the year of wolf, and have the same personality as their distant relatives. When the enemy is strong, they will wag their tails and beg for mercy. When the enemy is weak, they will pounce on them viciously and bite them.
Seeing that the enemy was broken through the formation so easily, these Huns no longer had any scruples and attacked fiercely. Xu Rong, who was in the third formation, was shocked when he saw the battle ahead. As a soldier,
Sima naturally had a new set of equipment and knew what effect it would have after using it, but what he didn't expect was that the cavalry who concentrated on using the new equipment and weapons would have such a powerful assault force.
In the previous confrontation, at least four to five hundred people were killed, while the assault cavalry only lost a few dozen people.
The dispersed Huns dispersed to both sides, shooting at the Liangzhou Army in the middle with bows and arrows. But Chen Cheng did not fight with them at all. After breaking the Huns' battle formation, he rushed directly to the direction of the pontoon. To the side of the pontoon
The Huns who stayed behind saw how their powerful army was defeated, and their morale became even lower.
They had traveled six to seven hundred miles to come back for rescue. Both the men and the horses were exhausted. Although they had rested for a night, how could they regain their strength in one night? What's more, the enemy was so brave. Their number just now was several times that of the enemy.
Failed. Now the number of enemies is equal, how can we fight? Slip away, slip away...
Seeing the enemy fleeing without a fight, Chen Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. He did not chase the fleeing enemies, but shouted loudly for the assault cavalry to turn their horses. After regrouping, they headed towards the melee battlefield.
They rushed over. Some Huns who were fighting wanted to come up and stop them. They shot arrows and cursed loudly.
Chen Cheng's troops were unmoved and regarded the wandering Huns as nothing, and rushed straight towards the crowded place. On the way, hundreds of Huns who had no time to avoid were easily killed by the assault cavalry. The cavalry charged again,
The performance of the Huns this time was even worse. Some of them screamed and fled, while others were struggling with Na Rizhu and Xu Rongbu. Only less than two thousand horsemen rushed towards them, but they were in twos and threes, and they were stabbed by the iron cavalry.
, it was immediately declared broken.
The Huns and Liangzhou troops fighting behind were frightened by the momentum of the assault cavalry, and they all moved to the side to avoid it. Chen Cheng once again penetrated the enemy formation, reined in the horses 300 meters away, and then reorganized the team, preparing to launch a third attack.
Charge. Seeing this situation, the Huns by the river no longer had the will to fight, shouted loudly, and then fled southward on horseback.
If we can't fight, we can always escape, right? The Huns have never been afraid of escaping. Running away if they can't win is a tactic they often use. For them, this is not escaping, but moving in a different direction!
It didn't matter that they escaped, they immediately sold the Huns on the pontoon. Xu Rong sent hundreds of riders to burn the pontoon with rockets. The Huns above who had no time to retreat immediately fell into the Yellow River screaming in agony, and then fell into the Yellow River.
It was unclear. Except for the hundreds of cavalrymen who were shooting arrows by the river, the other cavalrymen followed Chen Cheng in pursuit to the south.
The road to the south is narrow, sandwiched between the Yellow River and the mountains, and is much narrower than the terrain near Lian County. As the Huns fled that way, the road would only get narrower and narrower until there was no way to go.
On the west bank of the Yellow River, under the plow Gutu Chanyu's big banner, Xubu Guduhou heard that the soldiers and horses on the east bank were routed and the pontoon bridges were burned. His face suddenly turned livid. He raised his whip angrily and whipped
The Huns who were kneeling on the ground were rolling on the ground and screaming in agony.
"Asshole!" Xubu Guduhou angrily yelled: "You said the enemy only had a thousand cavalry. We have passed seven or eight thousand people. How could we still be defeated?"
"Ahhhhhh," he threw away the riding crop in his hand, pulled out the straight knife, and slashed hard, "ahhhhhh!"
In the blood splatter, the Huns who reported the news were chopped into several pieces, and the body fragments were immersed in a pool of blood. After hearing the news of the defeat at the front, more than a dozen Huns nobles hurried over. They opened the door curtain and entered the tent.
What everyone saw was Xubu Guduhou Shanyu standing in a pool of blood with a long knife, helpless and furious.
"Great Chanyu!" a nobleman shouted: "We must continue to send troops to cross the river immediately, otherwise, those soldiers and horses in the east will be in danger!"
Xubu Guduhou turned around and said fiercely: "Do you think I don't know? But the pontoon bridge has been burned, how can we get across?"
"Swim right over!"
"What?" Even though Xubu Guduhou was furious now, he couldn't help but be frightened by this crazy suggestion, "The Yellow River is so wide, how can you swim across it?"
"Although the Yellow River is wide, there are places where it is not so wide. Let's find a place where the current is not fast and let the soldiers swim across with their horses!" The man who spoke before said excitedly: "The enemy only has a thousand cavalry, even if we add more
Those Han people in the city only have a few thousand soldiers and horses, and we still have more than 10,000 people here. As long as we can swim half of them, we can win!"
"..." Xubu Guduhou put the long knife on the ground, took a deep breath, and shouted outside: "Come here, clean up the ground!"
He said to the nobles in the big tent: "I heard from the tribesmen who escaped that the enemy defeated more than 8,000 of our cavalry in just a short time, so their strength is at least 10,000 cavalry!"
"good!"
"That's it! The Han people are really cunning!"
"Maybe their strength is more than 10,000 cavalry. There must be many enemies on the other side of the river waiting for us to cross!"
"Then what should we do?" Someone cried, "My tribe is all lost to the east of the Yellow River. If they are finished, then I am finished too!"
Xubu Guduhou calmed down and said: "We still have tens of thousands of tribesmen at the foot of Yinshan Mountain, gather them first, and then find a way to cross the river!"
"What about the tribesmen who have crossed the river?"
"Hmph, what else can we do? Those are seven or eight thousand elite cavalry. Are we still afraid that they will be eaten by the Han people in one go?" Hou Bugudu analyzed: "They will be scattered at most, and at worst they will lose one or two thousand people.
.After we kill them, it won’t be too late to gather them slowly!”
While the nobles of the Huns were discussing, Chen Cheng had already led more than 3,000 Huns to a desperate situation. On the rocky river beach, corpses of war horses and people were lying one after another. The Huns
The horse's horse is not shoed, and when running along the gravel-strewn river, it is easy to injure the hoof or lose the front hoof. As long as the horse falls off, even if it is not trampled to death by the horses behind it
, will also be caught up and killed by the Liangzhou Army.
The Huns fled all the way until they were blocked by mountains. Thousands of Huns cavalry had no way forward and were pursued by soldiers. Facing the mountains and rivers, they panicked. Even animals will express despair when they are cornered.
resistance, let alone human beings?
Seeing that there was no way out, many Huns immediately shouted, "Go back and fight with those Han people!"
"Yes, let's fight, let's fight!"
"Um, I just saw that there are Huns on the side of the Han army... How about we surrender?"
"You coward! We would rather fight to the death with the Han people than surrender!"
Chen Cheng led his cavalry to hang behind the Huns, and was not in a hurry to fight. The Huns' tactics were very similar to hunting. They liked to hang behind their prey, draining their energy, and waited until the prey was exhausted before going up.
Launch a fatal blow. Not only the Huns can use this tactic, Chen Cheng can also use it. With the plug-in in hand, he does not have to worry about following the enemy, and can even use this trick better than the Huns.
Seeing that the enemy had stopped, Chen Cheng also reined in his horses and asked the remaining 900 cavalry and the cavalry behind to get into formation, and then he slowly advanced in a strict formation. When he saw the pursuers
The formation was so strict that the desperate will that many of the Huns had just developed immediately dissipated without a trace.
Unwilling to be defeated, some fierce people shouted and turned around and rushed forward, but many of them were shot dead by Chen Cheng and other mounted archers. A small number of those who rushed in front of the military formation were quickly killed by the Liangzhou army, which had an absolute numerical advantage.
die.
Chen Cheng stopped his army two miles away, called Na Rizhu, and asked him to step forward to surrender. Na Rizhu immediately accepted the order, and proudly stepped forward and loudly said: "I am Na Rizhu, a Huns, lay down my weapons and surrender.
Bar!"
Someone who knew him was stunned and said: "Then...that Ri Zhu? Wasn't he captured by the Han people? Why is he here again?"
More people didn't know Na Ri Zhu, so they asked other people around them what was going on. Passing the news to ten, ten, and hundreds, soon the Huns who were crowded together knew that Na Ri Zhu had defected to the Han people.
And he's doing pretty well, you can tell just by looking at the armor on his body.
The Huns have always been short of weapons and armor. Let alone iron armor, even pierced armor or beam armor can be regarded as family heirlooms.
"Well... how about we surrender too?"
The so-called defeat is like a mountain falling, and the defeated generals cannot be described as brave. These Huns had been completely defeated just now, and they had long lost their spirits. They fled all the way here, and now they are tired and scared. After being summoned by the Japanese to surrender, they were very tired.
A decision was made quickly.
"That day, we are willing to surrender! But we also have demands!"
Na Ri Zhu translated the words to Chen Cheng. In fact, Chen Cheng could already understand a lot of Xiongnu, but he was still not old enough, so he continued to let Na Ri Zhu do the intermediate translation.
"Let them tell you what they want."
After Rizhu asked the question in Hun language, he immediately received the answer, "We want to keep our weapons and horses, and we will not be allowed to fight against the Huns in the future!"
"This..." Na Ri Zhu looked at Chen Cheng hesitantly, feeling very embarrassed. Not even he would agree to such a request, let alone one that looked like a ghost to him.
Lord Chen?
Sure enough, Chen Cheng sneered and said, "That day, Ri Zhu, please step aside first."
That day Rizhu hurriedly stepped forward and shouted: "Sir, let me persuade them one more time!"
The soldiers blocked Na Ri on the outside. Chen Cheng raised his right hand and then slashed it down hard, "Attack!"
There are too many Huns, and there are more Huns across the Yellow River. Now is not a good time to surrender. Just now, he just wanted to kill fewer people, but then he remembered what happened in Luoyang. Sometimes,
Good intentions may not always lead to good things, but may lead to the opposite result.
Since the Huns don't know their faces, just kill them happily!
