There is a saying in the art of war: Anyone who travels hundreds of miles to fight for gain will definitely overtake the general.
Huchuquan set out from Yunzhong City and traveled more than 300 miles in three days, hoping to attack Chen Cheng's more than a thousand riders. But how could it be possible? Unless Chen Cheng was asleep, otherwise, a sneak attack would be impossible.
It doesn't exist for him.
As usual, Chen Cheng took the lead with sixty soldiers. Firstly, it was to tire the opponent, and secondly, it was to prepare to lead the enemy into the battlefield set by his own side. The fiery red war horse ran up the slope, and then headed towards the Xiongnu below.
People launched an attack.
Before the emergence of double-sided stirrups and high bridge saddles, the impact of cavalry was also very powerful, but the way of using spears on horseback was more like mounted infantry. Whether it was the most common frontal assassination, or a backhand assassination that could cause damage to the enemy behind the shield,
They are not much different from the infantry's attack methods.
The Huns placed reconnaissance cavalry on both wings, but no one saw how these dozens of cavalry suddenly appeared. Thousands of Huns cavalry in the vanguard were cut off from the waist, and they suddenly fell into panic.
But with the development of bilateral stirrups and high-bridge saddles, cavalry can use weapons such as lances. Lances are heavier or much heavier than spears, and the way they are used is generally not by waving their arms, but by waving their arms.
Grasp it with your hands and clamp it under your armpits. In this way, the three things of the lance, human body, and war horse can be integrated into one, and the impact force will be completely transmitted to the enemy, and the lethality will be doubled.
But the lance also has many shortcomings. When the speed of the war horse is not enough, the lance is not as useful as the spear.
Chen Cheng put away his lance and fired with a strong bow, shooting the most gorgeously dressed Huns off their horses. The sixty cavalry behind him had already followed through the enemy formation and ran up the mound on the other side of the road.
.According to his usual idea, at this time, he would lead the furious Huns in several circles, wait until the enemy was tired, and then let the fresh troops rush out and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.
The tactical concept was perfect, and the first step to attack the Huns was also completed beautifully. However, when he stood on the mound and looked down, a shocking cry suddenly broke out from the Huns' queue.
"It's the flying general, run away!"
"There's an ambush among us! Retreat, retreat!"
"It's General Shenwei Tian! We are dead!"
"Ada, run quickly!"
Many of the soldiers and horses brought by Huchuquan were originally the subordinates of Marquis Xubu Gudu, who had fought with Chen Cheng. Later they escaped across the Yellow River and were taken in by Huchuquan. When he saw the man who looked like a
When the huge war horse seemed to be burning, they immediately remembered the fear they had been dominated by and exploded on the spot.
The military system of the Huns was very primitive, with tribes as units and blood ties as ties. This military system had its advantages, because fathers, sons, and brothers were all in the same team, so the cohesion was often strong, even if they were beaten.
Even if we are separated, we can quickly regroup.
But everything has its advantages and disadvantages. When a rout occurs, if one person runs and shouts, more than ten people will respond. Under the gaze of more than 60 cavalry on the mound, thousands of Huns cavalry died several times.
After ten people, they collapsed without warning. They fled in all directions in panic, and even resorted to knife attacks on their companions in order to seize the way to escape.
Chen Cheng looked at the Huns who were fleeing in surprise. In his impression, although the Huns were poorly equipped, disorganized, and had average morale, they were ferocious and brutal. They were extremely fierce when fighting and extremely fierce when escaping.
There is no sloppiness. Even if they can be defeated on the frontal battlefield, it is still very difficult to eliminate them.
What impressed him most was the tenacity of the Huns. When they killed Xubu Guduhou, the Huns ran from Linrong City to Manbai, and then from Manbai to Meiji. They kept running.
The horses all foamed at the mouth and then gave up resistance.
However, the Huns, who were so difficult to deal with, collapsed under an attack of less than a hundred people.
At this time, Chen Cheng no longer doubted, but was certain of one thing, that is: he still didn't understand this era well enough. Even though he had spent hundreds of days in this world, his way of thinking was still in line with this era.
There are great differences among the indigenous peoples of the world.
While the Huns were galloping towards the way they came, they loudly spread the rumor that "the Liangzhou army is coming to kill." The rumor was further distorted by word of mouth, and finally turned into "The flying general led a hundred thousand people to kill."
Come over", "Yunzhong County has been captured by General Shenweitian", such exaggerated and ridiculous things.
Hu Chuquan, who was in the rear team, was very proud and proud of his decisiveness and intelligence. If he was not smart and decisive, how could he seize the fleeting opportunity that came from the sky? He said proudly to
He said: "Haha, after I kill that man named Chen, I will use his skull to make a wine bowl!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the large group of Huns cavalry in front ran back in fear. Wherever Huchuquan looked, there were Huns running away and shouting wildly. He stopped a few of them in shock and anger, and shouted
Said: "Why are you running?"
The Huns who were stopped said in horror: "Flying General, the flying general is coming with an army of 100,000 people!"
Hu Chuquan became more and more angry, and he shouted angrily: "Where did Chen Cheng get his hundred thousand troops?"
Just when he was angry, those Huns found an opportunity to hit their horses and fled towards the east. After Huchuquan reacted, he grabbed the bow and arrow by his leg and was about to shoot those cowards, but he
He shot two arrows in a row, but they both landed in the open space.
More and more Huns were running back. Hu Chuquan was angry at first, and then confused. Could it be that Chen Shijun really came here with 100,000 people to kill him? Even if 100,000 people were impossible, then it would be half the number.
, fifty thousand people are not something he can resist, right?
"We are defeated, we are defeated, everyone, run for your lives!"
"We are surrounded, why don't we run away quickly?"
Gradually, Hu Chuquan became panicked. He turned around and asked the bodyguard who was also panicking, "Is it possible..."
"Boom!" Thousands of Huns cavalry rushed from the road. They did not fight the enemy, or even face the enemy. But driven by panic, they had no time to think, collectively turned their horses' heads and started towards the rear.
Running wildly. Huchuquan was still struggling for a while, but when he saw so many people running for their lives, he was confused and started running wildly to the east.
By the time he woke up, he had arrived on a plain. This plain was formed by faults caused by crustal movement, erosion by running water, and sedimentation. Huchuquan looked left and right, and there was gas all around.
The panting troops had panic and exhaustion written all over their faces.
"Why are you running?" Hu Chuquan raised his whip in shame and whipped the Huns beside him until he whined repeatedly, "The enemy only has a thousand people! We are five times their number, you fools and idiots! Even if it is
Sheep are braver than you!"
He swung his horsewhip fiercely, knocking a richly dressed nobleman off his horse, and then shouted loudly: "We have more people, they have fewer people, let's kill them back!"
Qubei had already rushed to Huchuquan's side and urged: "Sir, morale is low. What can I do? Why not retreat for now and make plans later!"
"Fart!" Hu Chuquan said angrily: "Our current strength is five times that of the enemy, and we are defeated without even a fight. How can the soldiers dare to be enemies with Chen Cheng in the future? If we don't defeat him now, we will never defeat him in the future.
We can only act based on his expression!"
Qu Beixin said: Master Hu Chuquan is right. With five times the strength, most of the troops retreated without even seeing the enemy. What else can we say in the future?
However, before Huchuquan finished speaking, a fiery red war horse climbed to the top of the hill on the west hill. The knight reined in the horse, crossed the horse's body, and looked this way. Even though it was several miles away,
From such a distance, the Huns who saw this scene seemed to see a strong murderous aura that could not be quelled.
"Fly...Flying General!"
The Huns had just been humiliated by what Huchuquan said, and their morale had been boosted. When they heard the sound and looked towards the west, their hearts suddenly became cold. No one paid any more attention to what Huchuquan was saying. They all jumped on their horses and continued.
Run away. Hu Chuquan, who had just said that he was just and awe-inspiring, also jumped on the horse and fled with the crowd in panic.
Since ancient times, the only thing left by death is the green hills...
Qubei stared in shock as Master Huchuquan stretched out his hand and jumped onto the horse with great strength, and ran in front of everyone. After being stunned for a while, he woke up from the shock. He looked at the tired horse next to him.
They couldn't run anymore. The Huns were escaping to the mountains on both sides. They couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and then said loudly: "Anyone who doesn't want to die, come here and surrender with me!"
"ah?"
Hundreds of Huns who were hurriedly fleeing to both sides were even more shocked when they heard this. Qubei was from the royal family. Although he was not a direct descendant of the Luan Di family, his noble status was one of the few among the Huns. Since he had spoken,
The Huns who heard this felt a little at ease and gathered around with their friends.
They pushed the horses that had fallen on the road to the side of the road, and then knelt on the side of the road together, waiting for the arrival of the legendary "Flying General", "Mighty General" and "Son of Immortality".
When Liu Qian climbed to the top of the mound, she felt very uneasy. Although she had witnessed the fire in Luoyang and heard the sound of swords chopping around her, at that time she only needed to hold on to Chen Cheng's clothes tightly.
, just bury her head on his chest. Facing the war at such a close distance made her scared and excited at the same time.
She tightened her little face and sat on the horse under the flag, with a dagger hanging on her waist and a hunting bow in her hand, feeling quite eager to try. Ten personal guards and surrounding guards were beside her, guarding her tightly.
Really. But Liu Qian was not satisfied with this kind of treatment. She stood up from the horse, walked to the front, and looked not far ahead.
There, the soldiers dismounted and were unfolding the blankets and setting them up. The blankets were made of wool and could be used to keep warm at night when marching. During the war, they could be erected to block arrows.
Very practical equipment, but wool is not easy to weave, so the output has never been high.
After instructing the soldiers to prepare for defense, Li Kan wiped the sweat from his head. As soon as he turned around, he saw Princess Wannian looking towards him. He hurried over and asked: "Your Highness Princess, are you
Do you have any instructions?"
Liu Qian tightened her face and imitated Chen Cheng in an old-fashioned way, saying, "It's okay, I just came over to take a look."
She asked Li Kan: "General Li, do you think we can win?"
Li Kan was stunned for a moment and replied: "Of course we can win! My lord is like a god with his troops, how can the Huns be our opponents?"
Liu Qian asked: "I heard that every time the master fights, he charges forward to frustrate the enemy's spirit, and then the army presses forward. Is this true?"
Li Kan's face was full of excitement and he said loudly: "Yes, my lord has unparalleled marksmanship, but even I, the descendant of the flying general, can't compare with me, let alone others!"
Liu Qian whispered: "Then why does he divide his troops and station them here? Is it because I am here, so he can't bring all the troops with him?"
