Because Long Lie and the others hid too quickly, he didn't know how many people there were on the other side or how they got here.
We can only act conservatively and strike first.
Here he led a group of men and began to accelerate slowly. The enemy was less than ten miles away.
When the cavalry speeds up, they can reach this distance in the blink of an eye, and the Huns are a people on horseback. If I don't increase my speed, how can I beat the Huns?
However, what Ding Hu didn't expect was that just as he increased his speed, the Huns had already arrived.
On the way back to the city, what was needed was speed. Tila Shanyu had long known that the Song people would not tolerate him leaving like this and would definitely intercept him on the way, but he did not want to continue to be entangled in the Song Dynasty.
So he sent out his most elite semi-armored troops as the vanguard for the return journey.
So when Ding Hu saw the enemy, everyone was stunned!
Hun half-armored troops!
How could it be them!
If he dared to lead a charge against other Huns troops, most of them would have half armor anyway.
It's not that the Ding family doesn't want to equip the Tiger Hunting Army with full armor, it's just that they can't afford the equipment and can't afford it.
Therefore, even though the Ding family was able to obtain the last iron materials from the fourth prince for a while, they still did not change the uniforms of the Tiger Hunting Army, but only replenished half armor.
Facing the Huns' semi-armored troops, the weapon levels of both sides were instantly brought to the same level, which made it difficult to fight!
However, Ding Hu had no time to think too much. They charged together and the distance was so short. Even if there was a mountain cliff in front of him, he could only jump up.
Immediately, Ding Hu waved the spear in his hand and roared: "Brothers! Kill!!!"
At the other end, their sudden appearance of the Huns' vanguard made them jump, but their extremely high tactical literacy allowed them to react quickly. The body that was already galloping began to accelerate again in an instant, heading towards Ding Hu without fear. , they greeted him.
When it comes to head-on clashes between cavalry, the Huns have never been afraid of anyone!
"Kill!"
The shouts of killing were loud, and the two sides soon started fighting together.
The two torrents of cavalry were like needles facing each other, fighting evenly without disturbing each other!
At the same time, the positions of both sides also changed due to the charge.
Just as Ding Hu and his men turned around and prepared to charge again, they suddenly heard the sound of a bowstring from behind. When he turned around, he saw an overwhelming rain of arrows coming from the sky.
Just when he was stunned, the rear formation of the Tiger Hunting Army was attacked. Many soldiers were stunned by the sudden rain of arrows. They did not have time to defend themselves, and suffered heavy losses in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, it is estimated that thousands of people in the rear army were gone!
"Enemy attack! Watch the rear!"
Ding Hu reacted instantly and started yelling heartbreakingly, loudly reminding his subordinates.
At the same time, the man who shot out the rain of arrows also appeared in front of him.
Like a tide, hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu troops slowly appeared in his sight.
Behind him, the Xiongnu captain laughed loudly and said: "Song people! I admire your courage. After knowing the news that we were leaving, you took tens of thousands of people and dared to intercept hundreds of thousands of us. people.
But I'm worried about your mind. With a general like you, it's no wonder that the Song people can't defeat us Huns, and we can even enter the pass every year to plunder.
But don’t worry, we Huns value brave men. If you dare to attack under such circumstances, we will give you the respect you deserve after your death! Leave you a whole body! Ha ha ha ha! "
After the captain finished speaking. I couldn't help but burst out laughing.
At this time, Ding Hu's face was extremely ugly!
He is not a fool, he also realized that he was tricked by Long Lie and the others!
The actions of the hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu people could not be hidden at all, and they could be found out clearly with just a little inquiry, but Long Lie and the others said that there were only tens of thousands of people.
This was obviously intentional, deliberately letting them seek death! But why?
Why do they want to trick the Tiger Hunting Army like this?
Suddenly he thought of the relationship between the Ding family and the imperial court, and fell silent again.
This is a conspiracy against the Yu Ding family, and the Tiger Hunting Army is the dish on their dinner plate this time.
People are already eating it with big mouthfuls!
And they are the food on the dinner plate.
"Damn! Dog court! Dog emperor!
Ding Hu understood that without the tacit consent of Emperor Dog, how could Long Lie and the others dare to do this.
This is definitely a trap set by the Dog Emperor himself for the Ding family.
Looking at the Hun vanguard in front who were ready to charge again.
Then he turned to look at the Xiongnu army that was getting closer and closer behind him. Ding Hu gritted his teeth and waved his hand and said: "Charge!"
There is no time to hesitate anymore, the Huns' large army is behind them, and the only way to survive now is to exchange positions with the opposite vanguard again and escape!
But will the captain of the vanguard allow him to do this?
The answer is obviously not allowed.
Just now, he was willing to exchange places with Ding Hu and the others, in order to trick them into the center of his own army.
Now there is only one thing he has to do, which is to keep this group of people.
"Shou!"
With an order, a group of vanguard troops formed a platoon and stood in front of the Tiger Hunting Army.
The distance between the two sides was not long, less than two hundred steps, which was not enough for a large-scale cavalry charge.
So even though the Huns are not good at defense, they are still like a wall blocking the way of the Tiger Hunter Army's escape.
Since all the Huns were cavalry, the Huns' large force quickly arrived at the scene and saw the Tiger Hunters who were trying to attack the vanguard and escape.
When Tira saw this scene, although she didn't know what the Song people were playing, she still immediately ordered the attack without hesitation!
Hundreds of thousands of troops rushed towards Ding Hu and the others who could no longer escape.
Ding Hu heard the movement behind him and looked back, seeing the scene behind him, his eyes full of despair.
Dang Ji gritted his teeth and shouted: "Long Lie! Zhang Baiye! I'll take care of your grandma! Even if I'm a ghost, I won't let you go. The 50,000 soldiers of my Tiger Hunting Army will curse you group of insidious villains with their lives! Ahhhhhhhh ah!"
Brothers, kill! We have no retreat! "
Ding Hu went crazy and waved the spear in his hand desperately, but they were still unable to break through the vanguard's defense line.
And the Huns army finally caught up. Swallow 50,000 people like Xiehu in one mouthful!
Then he walked away!
Tila knew that they didn't have much time to delay now, so after destroying the tiger hunting army, he had no intention of stopping and continued to move outside the pass.
Only a body that had been trampled beyond recognition was left on the spot.
Half a day later, with the setting sun like blood, silhouettes of people suddenly appeared on the hillsides on both sides, one after another!
The Dragon Guard Army and the Divine Guard Army, which had disappeared for a long time, appeared from behind the hillside and came to the battlefield.
At the same time, he ordered his men to carry out finishing touches on the corpses intact.
Long Lie and Zhang Baiye quickly found the body of Ding Hu wearing full armor among the corpses while searching.
The two came closer and finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the dense scars on the body.
Long Lie drew out his dagger, inserted it directly into Ding Hu's temple, then smiled and said to Zhang Baiye:
"Reply to your majesty. The Tiger Hunting Army did not obey military orders. They thought they were right and took the initiative to attack the 300,000 Xiongnu army. In the end, they died tragically at the hands of the Xiongnu! They sacrificed their lives for the country!"
"clear!"
Zhang Baiye nodded, naturally understanding what he meant.
Soon someone was asked to write the military report and send it to Bianjing at high speed.
After everything was dealt with, the two stood up. Long Lie looked at the direction in which the Xiongnu was leaving and asked, "Did you see that?"
"What?"
"This time the Huns are not easy!"
Long Lie said with a solemn face.
Zhang Baiye was puzzled, and Long Lie continued: "In the past, when the Xiongnu entered the customs, what they brought back the most were either ordinary people brought back to be slaves, or some iron tools, grains, various belongings, etc.
But this time, apart from the financial resources, they did not bring ordinary people as slaves, but a group of craftsmen.
I just saw with my own eyes that not far away from the Xiongnu Chanyu, a group of craftsmen numbering at least several thousand were being guarded layer by layer among the Xiongnu army.
Everyone is holding a meal! "
Zhang Baiye was stunned when he heard this, but then he reacted.
His face also darkened.
“Your Majesty must be informed of this matter as soon as possible!
Otherwise, the court will suffer a big loss! "
"It's natural!"
"Okay, let's quickly follow the Huns, at least make sure they really leave the Song Dynasty!"
"good!"
