Li Yunze's Chinese army received his personal training and was well-fed and well-equipped.
His personal ability and teamwork ability are both outstanding.
Taking the garrison formation of fifty people as the standard, three garrison formations are arranged in a row in the shape of a pin, and there are ten such garrison formations rushing forward in sequence.
Li Yunze changed the military equipment of the Zhongshan Kingdom and changed the infantry and long soldiers from halberds to spears.
It's not a five-meter-long anti-marron gun, but a standard infantry spear.
In addition to the sword and shield, the sword and shield soldiers also carry two short spears on their backs.
When Suburu's trusted general Han'erlun came with two thousand men to stop them, the pikemen in the front row held their spears flat in their hands and pointed their slightly trembling spearheads forward.
The sword and shield soldier behind took off the short spear from behind, and when the two sides were more than ten steps apart, he threw it forward with all his strength.
Throwing short spears when facing battle is not a patent of the Roman legions.
Two short spears were thrown in succession, and the pikemen in the front row began to stab violently and forcefully.
The sword and shield soldiers behind them rushed over with their backs bent, and transformed into jumping soldiers to break through the formation and fight.
Of course, the crossbowmen on both sides were not idle, and arrows flew continuously on the battlefield.
These soldiers and horses were trained by Li Yunze himself. They were paid generously on weekdays, and were given generous rewards during the holidays. They were even guaranteed to have meat every day.
Not only am I living a good life, but my family is also living a very good life.
At this point, it was time for them to repay King Zhongshan.
The Han army withstood the rain of arrows fired from the opposite side and fought hard forward with the Aries tribe coming to stop them.
Han Erlun personally led the most elite Danghu account army in the entire Aries tribe and launched a counterattack against the Han army.
But he was very shocked, because the small Han army in front of him was extremely difficult to defeat.
They are skilled in tactics and tactics, and have a tacit understanding of cooperation. The same goes for other Han troops. There is not much to say.
But their equipment was really good. At least in Han Erlun's eyes, everything he saw was iron armor. Even the crossbowmen who were hiding behind and firing arrows were wearing iron helmets.
It is difficult for ordinary weapons to damage the protection of iron armor, at least weapons such as bones and maces can cause effective damage.
But there is a lack of iron weapons on the grassland, so where can we get so many heavy weapons?
As for the result, they watched helplessly as the men in the front row were pierced by spears, chopped down by swords, and shot to death by strong bows and crossbows.
Groups of tribesmen fell, and at least hundreds of people were lost in this effort.
Han'erlun, whose eyes were red, rushed forward with his tent troops holding a double-edged sword.
What Li Yunze deployed was a modified version of the Sancai Formation. Instead of asking the sergeants in the front row to fight to the death, in a manner similar to the rotation of gears, the formations in the back row were circulated forward layer by layer, fighting alternately.
When Han Erlun launched the most ferocious counterattack, Li Yunze, who noticed this scene, raised his hand and dropped the visor on his helmet. He held two hammers in his hands and went straight towards him with the soldiers around him.
Wearing thick armor, Li Yunze is not afraid of arrows, swords and guns.
In fact, it doesn't make any difference whether he criticizes the armor or not. It's just that in order not to leave the image of a perverted monster to the world, he wears thick armor as a cover.
Glancing at the many sharp arrows that landed on his armor, Li Yunze thought thoughtfully, "It seems they are the elite of the Aries tribe."
Most of the arrowheads used by ordinary herdsmen are bone arrows. The main reason is naturally due to the lack of metal on the grassland.
Those who can use metal arrows must be the elite of the tribe.
Li Yunze, who was holding a hammer in both hands, roared, "Get out of the way! Pretend to beep while blocking me!"
The personal guards who were guarding him hesitated slightly and moved away with their shields in hand.
Li Yunze wore a set of armor that was completely different from that of this era, including a helmet, visor, neck guard, breastplate, arm armor, iron gloves, skirt armor, greaves and even iron boots.
A tin can that is truly wrapped from beginning to end.
Especially when he appeared on the battlefield with heavy steps, holding a huge hammer in each hand, he felt really oppressive.
If you use a visual representation, it is like Sauron wearing the Lord of the Rings appearing in front of the coalition forces.
Lifting up the hammer in his hand, Li Yunze swept out, and the unlucky guy on the opposite side was immediately sent flying.
He really flew away, soaring into the air and flying more than ten feet away.
Everyone around was shocked when they saw this scene.
Seeing that his hammer was so big, many people thought it was made of wood and painted on the outside, specifically to scare people.
Now, I am really shocked, it is actually true!
The two hammers were danced by Li Yunze, which was a real collision and death.
Li Yunze was as unstoppable as a siege truck. He rushed into the Aries tribe's tent and started killing. The figures flying up one after another made a long wailing sound.
The morale-boosted Han army followed closely and defeated the tent army with overwhelming force.
Han Erlun, who was crazy with anxiety, rushed towards Li Yunze with a double-edged sword in both hands, gritted his teeth and used all his strength to strike at Li Yunze's chest.
The breastplate is the thickest part of the armor.
'Dang! '
There was a muffled sound, and the double-edged sword broke unexpectedly.
Han Erlun, whose hands were covered in blood, raised his head and met Li Yunze's eyes under his mask.
'Woo~~~'
Amid the sharp sound that broke through the air, Hanerlun felt his eyes go dark, and then he fell into eternal darkness.
Glancing at Han Erlun who was hit without his head, Li Yunze shook the hammer and moved forward again.
The Aries tribe, which lost its leader, quickly fell into disintegration.
Even their most elite tent troops are the same.
Suburu never expected that two thousand people would be defeated so quickly.
Not only did they fail to stop the Han army from attacking from the side, they even turned around and disrupted the main formation of the Chinese army.
As for the cavalry fighting in the distance, on such a chaotic battlefield, it is simply impossible to conduct micro-control operations like arms and fingers.
The orders the cavalry received before were either to attack or to block.
Now they have been ordered to retreat. No matter how elite the troops are, it is impossible for them to complete the transition from attack to retreat in a short period of time.
In other words, reinforcements or the like cannot be counted on in a short time.
Seeing that the Han army led by Li Yunze had already rushed into the formation from the flanks, the Aries tribe's army was in chaos. No matter how the leaders and nobles yelled and scolded, they inevitably began to flee.
Sublu sighed deeply, ordered the guards around him to blow the trumpets, then turned his horse's head and fled straight away.
The dull horn sound sounded, which was the call to retreat.
And on such a chaotic battlefield, it just depends on how many people can escape in the end.
The defeat of the Aries tribe greatly boosted the morale of the Han army in the midst of a bitter battle. They kept moving forward to pursue and kill the defeated troops to gain military exploits.
If the situation on the battlefield changes at this time, and Li Yunze has the advantage of the cavalry, then he can guarantee that at least nine out of ten people from the Aries tribe will stay.
It's a pity that he has too few cavalry.
"Drumming." Seeing the Aries tribe's defeat, Li Yunze immediately ordered, "Hold their infantry. As for the cavalry, only as many as you can stop."
The enemy army has been defeated, and Li Yunze has also put down the hammer in his hand. There is no need for him to take the lead in the subsequent battles.
The sergeants happily pursued and killed, and each head meant high rewards and military exploits.
Looking up at the sky, Li Yunze calculated in his mind that from the moment he contacted the enemy to the present, it took more than an hour.
One afternoon's main battle determines the fate of a country, that's about it.
Although this battle could not determine the fate of the Han and the Huns, it could at least determine the fate of Dingxiang County.
The main force of the Aries tribe was defeated. Although many cavalry escaped, it would take at least several days to gather the men.
By that time, Li Yunze had already broken through the old camp of the Baiyang Tribe under Chengle City, and the crisis in the entire Dingxiang County was naturally lifted.
Li Yunze, who had dropped his visor, took a deep breath of the air that smelled of blood. He was already planning in his mind how to seize Cheng Bushi's military power, gather troops from Dingxiang County, and attack Yunzhong County from the flanks. The Xiongnu Great Chanyu headquarters.
However, at this time in the distant Shangjun, a large convoy had already driven out of the border wall and headed towards the Huns' camp on the opposite side.
On the most luxurious carriage, the window was pushed open, and a young woman poked her head out, looking affectionately at the Great Wall behind her.
That was her hometown, and she was about to be married off to the Huns.
This farewell is for a lifetime!
"Your Majesty."
Zhao Yan, his face flushed, ran over quickly and saluted, "It's been calculated."
Li Yunze, who was sitting on the horse roasting the leg of lamb, simply asked, "Speak."
"yes."
"This battle formation killed the Xiongnu at 7,419 levels and captured more than 5,500 people."
Normally, the number of sergeants lost after a war is much higher than those killed on the spot.
Because there are many heads that cannot be collected into statistics, many wounded soldiers will die one after another in the future, many people are missing, and so on.
As for the number of prisoners, there is no precise number, because many of the prisoners were lightly wounded and seriously injured, and were killed when the battlefield was being cleaned.
However, in this era of low medical capabilities, even lightly injured people are likely to die from wound infection, so we can only collect general statistics.
In other words, the loss of the Aries tribe in this battle has been confirmed, reaching 13,000 people, which is already close to half of its total strength.
Counting those whose bodies were unable to be collected, those who died of infection, those who disappeared and never returned, etc., the Aries Tribe lost at least 15,000 people in this battle.
The Aries tribe had its backbone broken in one battle.
"Write a letter immediately and send the victory document to Zhongshan Kingdom immediately." Li Yunze instructed, "Let Zhang Ou forward it to Chang'an City."
"Here~~~"
At this time, there was joy and laughter in the military camp, and the sergeants gathered around the fire, happily eating horse meat (horses that died in battle, horses that were injured and hopelessly injured) and drank not much wine.
After fighting and winning a battle, of course morale will be high.
Needless to say, there is no need to say much about rewards for military exploits, but they have to wait until the imperial court distributes them.
It is conceivable that after achieving such a brilliant victory, under the circumstances where the Huns invaded in large numbers, they would definitely receive extremely generous rewards.
It's not that Li Yunze can't pay for these rewards, but if he does, the court will really treat him as a rebel.
'Only weapons and names cannot be faked, and it is the responsibility of the king. '
After moving the weapon and changing the name, let alone the King of Zhongshan, not even the Prince.
In Li Yunze's mind, he was also summarizing the war.
"We must strengthen the strength of the cavalry. If there are enough cavalry today, we won't let so many of the Aries tribe escape."
"Your Majesty."
"Congratulations, Your Majesty."
"Your majesty is so majestic. A great victory in this battle will definitely make the emperor happy."
Hanbok Chen Xin and others came forward cheerfully, saying congratulations.
As important participants, they will definitely receive generous rewards after this battle. Their mood at this time is really sincere.
"The war is not over yet."
Li Yunze calmly asked, "Each ministry will send the wounded and prisoners back to Wujin. The prisoners will be guarded together with the old and weak herdsmen from before. You wait for each ministry to allocate 300 people, and then select a thousand wives to be responsible for escorting and guarding."
"Early tomorrow morning, the entire army will be dispatched using the vehicle formation as a cover to march directly outside Chengle City!"
