Until now, it is still difficult to change the nomadic habits of the Huns. Even if they go on an expedition, they will still follow them with a large number of herdsmen.
For them, these herdsmen are their food and grass trains, and the cattle and sheep driven by the herdsmen are their source of food.
Compared with the logistics of the Han army, their advantage is undoubtedly too great.
After all, cattle and sheep also have legs, and they can be moved back and forth with them anytime and anywhere.
However, everything in this world has its advantages and disadvantages. Once this thing explodes, it will be a disaster!
If they were to face the enemy head-on, with the three thousand men in Long Xiao's hands, they might be able to take advantage of the dark night to defeat the Huns unnoticed and catch them off guard.
But if you want to defeat the Huns, that is just a dream.
What's more, no news has been passed between them and the Qin army so far.
It’s hard to imagine what the Qin army would do after they really got into a fight with the Huns.
If the Qin army takes the opportunity to retreat or break out of the encirclement, they may take the Qin army's position if they are not careful.
However, if they sneak attack the Huns camp at this time, and then drive the cattle and sheep towards the Huns, then maybe they can really lead the Qin army to break out of the encirclement.
As long as they could enter the vast mountains and forests, even if the Huns were extremely capable, it would be impossible to pull them out of the mountains and forests.
"It's easy to say, but many of the Huns are herdsmen, and these people are all excellent in equestrian skills. If they control the cattle and sheep, I'm afraid our work will be in vain..."
"Don't worry, Captain, we will take care of this matter. The custody will scare all the cattle, sheep and horses away!"
He is still confident about this reinforcement. After all, when the gunpowder weapons first exploded, he was already following Liu Deng!
Let's not talk about the power. Just this huge sound is enough to scare the cows and sheep out of their wits. Not to mention the cows and sheep, I am afraid that even the horses they are sitting on will be killed if they are not careful. Scared out of control.
"I think there is no need to divide the troops into two groups. If we can drive out all these cattle, sheep and war horses, we only need to follow them and pick up the ready-made ones!"
Long Xiao just thought about it briefly, and then made up his mind. After all, their number was too small. Even if they were divided into two groups, there was no big objection. Instead, it was better to just fight to the death.
"The captain is wise!"
"Set off!"
Long Xiao gritted his teeth, things had reached the current point, and they had no choice but to retreat.
With a simple wave of his right hand, three thousand Han cavalry rushed towards the Huns' camp like a bolt of lightning.
The shouts of killing on the battlefield were so loud that even though there was a rumble of horse hooves behind them, no one noticed.
All the Huns soldiers were in the big tent in front, and only a handful of them stayed at home to guard the surrounding areas.
Seeing the excitement of killing people one by one in front, they could only squat at home and guard the camp.
The soldiers guarding the camp were all really itchy. After all, the Huns' rules were here. If you didn't go into battle, there would be no reward.
Taking advantage of the cover of night, Long Xiao's three thousand cavalry were like lightning. In less than a stick of incense, they were only a hundred steps away from the Xiongnu camp.
The Huns' camp was different from that of the Han army. It was called a camp, but in fact it was just a few loose wooden fences, and most of these fences were used to prevent livestock from escaping.
Not to mention trapping horses or rejecting horses, there are not even one or two decent archery towers, there are messy tents everywhere, all arranged horizontally and vertically.
This is also the tradition of the Huns. They disdain to build a strong camp. For them, covering the sky and the ground is their true tradition.
To them, strong camps like those of the Han people were like sheepfolds, and only those Han people who were like lambs needed such things!
When will the vicious wolf on the grassland like to stay in the wolf pen?
It is this loose tradition that has caused them a big loss today.
"Sir, there seems to be a team coming behind us!"
Zhamu Co was originally a member of the Aries King, but after Yu Dan took over the camp, they were immediately put on the bench...
No matter how much they were dissatisfied, Yu Dan was the prince of the Huns after all, and he could not disobey the orders he gave just by relying on a thousand commanders.
Just when Zhamu Co was looking enviously at the fighting armies in the distance, a soldier behind him suddenly came to report.
"What's so surprising about this? There are people from us for hundreds of miles around here. Send someone over to ask them which tribe they are from. I guess which tribe sent them here to flatter them!"
After just giving a casual order, Zhamuco immediately lost interest. This kind of thing is so common these days.
After all, the princes of the Great Huns are here. If the tribes nearby were sensible, they should send soldiers to help in the battle.
"promise!"
A Hun soldier took the order and rushed out on horseback to meet Long Xiao and his team.
"Whoosh——"
But before he could ask, a dense rain of arrows shot over, turning him into a hedgehog.
"ah--"
The screams sounded, and Namtso finally felt that something was wrong, but by this time it was too late!
The Huns who stayed in the camp are still gathering together in small groups to chat.
There were Huns for hundreds of miles around, and they never expected that someone would dare to attack their camp at this time.
By the time Zhamu Co reacted and wanted to assemble his troops, Long Xiao's three thousand cavalry had already rushed in.
"Brothers, bring out our housekeeping skills and let these Huns have a good taste of the power of fire and thunder!"
Looking at the Huns who were in a mess, Yuan Bin was really excited. He waved his right hand and gave an order.
"promise!"
The one hundred soldiers from the gunpowder camp who followed him excitedly took out the gunpowder bullets from their arms and a black gunpowder shell from the backpack on their backs. After lighting it, they headed directly towards Thrown out of the crowd.
"hiss--"
After all, this was the first time it was used in actual combat, and they still had some difficulty controlling the length of the twist.
Nearly a hundred gunpowder bombs were all thrown into the crowd of Huns. Except for a few unlucky ones who were smashed, the remaining people were all confused, and some did not understand what the Han army had thrown. What on earth is this thing that came out?
Zhamu Cuo, who had received intensive care, looked at the two black bumps at his feet with some confusion, wondering what they were...
"boom--"
