Yi Jinhuo felt that his luck today was really average. When he saw the desert in front of him, a violent west wind suddenly blew up, sweeping the desert dust into the air and covering the sky with a layer of yellow gauze. Looking around, people The world is all yellow. The old ruins of the great city were originally clearly visible in the distance, but now even their outlines were appearing and disappearing in the yellow sand.
"My little maid, with such a strong wind, will it rain well this year?" After hanging out with the Han caravans for a long time, Yijinhuo couldn't help but catch up with their oral habits. But before he could finish complaining, a strong wind suddenly blew towards him, filling his mouth with yellow sand. Iginhuo coughed repeatedly, only to realize that his throat was already burning with thirst. He licked his lips, bit off some of the chapped lip skin with his teeth, asked his attendant to get the wine flask, and drank the wine in one gulp like a cow drinking.
"Sir, if the wind is so strong now, do we still have to go forward and fight?" After Yi Jinhuo finished drinking and handed back the wine bottle, the attendant asked carefully. Yi Jinhuo glanced at his entourage and said angrily to him: "Okay! Do you think it's me who wants to come here? If Shan Yu hadn't given repeated orders to suppress the rebellion quickly, would I have eaten sand here? Shan Yu had long said that Come on, we must fight quickly, let alone the strong wind, even if there is hail falling from the sky, you have to bear the hail and kill all the thieves!"
At this point, Yi Jinhuoyou felt that the reprimand was not strong enough, so he called all his followers over and reprimanded him sternly: "Now everyone in Bingzhou is watching my joke, and I actually let a slave cause trouble in Shangjun! Hundreds of Xiongnu How can such a strange thing happen in the year? It is not easy for everyone to go out to fight, but if we lose this battle and the Shanyu pursues it, will I, Yi Jinhuo, be able to chop off my head? "
After some words, the officers vowed to fight hard to kill the enemy, and they also preached that Yi Jinhuo was wise and mighty and would definitely be able to defeat the enemy. Before the propaganda was over, several scouts returned from the front and reported to Dangdang household: The rebels in Dachengzhai discovered our army and were reorganizing their troops to prepare for a battle out of the city.
Yi Jinhuo asked: "How many people did you see?" "The wind and sand were too strong to see clearly, but between the mountains and fields, on both sides of the road, there were silhouettes of people walking forward. I think the traitors must have come out in force, and It’s time to fight to the death with our army!”
The generals couldn't help but be shaken after hearing this. Yi Jinhuo noticed the mentality of the generals and angrily said: "What are you afraid of? Those who turn around more often eat mustard and eat some sheep gallbladder! Why do you get scared when seeing a battle? The traitors look like they are outnumbered, and they can kill people." How many people are there? How many people can wear armor? They are just slaves and thieves on the left and right, and they don’t even know the battle formation. I have 20,000 capable soldiers under my command, and they will definitely kill the thieves and leave the fields full of corpses! Come back and form the formation!"
This analysis was so insightful that all the generals were convinced. When they returned to their respective teams, Yi Jinhuo began to look at the surrounding environment, thinking about how to arrange it to defeat the rebels in one fell swoop. But the wind and sand were so strong that the geographical advantage was not on his side. Yijinhuo then thought of the scouts saying that the rebels were coming out in full force. He suddenly had an idea in his mind. He felt very proud and murmured to himself: "Okay, let a group of people come out." The little thief knows what war is!"
After Shanyu's army re-arranged, Yi Jinhuo finally saw the figures of the people on the opposite side in the strong wind. The dense figures were like a natural high wall, slowly but unstoppably occupying the five hills, clearly stepping on them. On the soft yellow soil, he clearly felt the earth shaking slightly. When he stopped on the opposite side, various flags were erected wherever he could see. He couldn't see clearly, but he was still confused in his heart. Be shaken.
He participated in the war in Jinyang, where more than 200,000 people faced each other on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. The momentum was so majestic that it is difficult to describe. But at that time, he was on Fuluo's side, and everything was planned by Chen Chong, so he only had to execute it. As the commander-in-chief of an army at this time, facing this boundless enemy army, he could not help but feel a little short of breath. But Yi Jinhuo suppressed this emotion very well. He was confident that he would never lose to a group of thugs.
As expected, the rebels' arrangement also made him laugh: the rebel army moved forward slowly with nearly 10,000 infantry and archers, and then sent two groups of 1,000 knights to cover the flanks and advanced slowly together with the infantry. Apparently, they wanted to use their numerical advantage to head on. Hang with him. The rebel cavalry obviously has more than this. The main force should stay in the rear, waiting for him to fight with the infantry in front. The leader of the thief will lead the main cavalry to attack the flank again and engage in a life-or-death fight with him.
The intention of the battle was too obvious, and Yi Jinhuo would naturally not let him wait. He quickly thought of a countermeasure and organized the army into three formations: front, middle and rear. He sent the front formation up first.
There were five thousand cavalry in the front line. These knights did not launch a direct charge. They circled in front of the rebel formation and did not stop them from moving forward. They just retreated while raising their bows and shooting arrows. The rebels also fired back with their bows and arrows. For a while, Arrows are like locusts. The bow skills on both sides were not the same, but Shan Yu's army was against the wind, and the power of the bows and arrows was much weaker. For a while, they were evenly matched with a group of new soldiers, which made Yi Jinhuo, who was watching, couldn't help but curse in secret.
However, the changes in the front line continued as planned. The cavalry rode and fired back and forth, and finally saw that the enemy's left wing was relatively weak, so they stayed for a few moments and waited for the 9,000 infantrymen in the center to get closer. Then they all moved towards the left wing. As they rode away, before the rebels could respond, the five thousand cavalrymen had already started a hand-to-hand battle with the rebels on the left!
There were no more than a thousand rebel cavalry covering the left wing. Not only were they outnumbered, but their killing skills were far inferior to Shan Yu's battle-hardened veterans. The rebels obviously did not expect that they could change their formations on the battlefield and outflank their flanks. But even if it is discovered, the rebel army's central army is originally infantry, how can it be as fast as cavalry? They can only sit back and watch their own cavalry being surrounded and killed by the opponent.
In this situation, if the flanks are not rescued, the more than 10,000 warriors who attack will be driven to death by the cavalry. How to save? Yi Jinhuo ordered the infantry in the center to also take the opportunity to press forward. The lines of the infantry of the two armies were entangled. Once the infantry engaged, it was difficult to change the line, and the victory or defeat was generally determined.
At this time, the west wind was a little weaker. Yi Jinhuo looked at the rebel wolf flag proudly, and all eyes on the battlefield were focused on the knights fighting on the left wing. Just like playing chess, laymen may not understand the layout, but When it came to the last few moves of killing Dalong, everyone could see that Dalongshan was at the end of its rope. The rebels did not understand many aspects of the battle formation, and at this time they all understood that they were at a disadvantage. If they were not careful, the more than 10,000 soldiers would be wiped out due to the collapse of their flanks.
But there was still a chance. Yi Jinhuo was sitting in the rear formation. Seeing the wolf flag three miles away, he finally couldn't sit still. He first ran down the main hill slowly, and then gradually accelerated. Under the flag of the wolf, among the vast figures, streams flowed out and merged under the flag of the wolf, gradually forming a black army. The clatter of horse hooves made the vibration of the earth more obvious, and also made the Dang household His smile became more and more wild.
He estimated based on experience and quickly concluded that this cavalry numbered only eight thousand, and it should not be underestimated if it was used in a life-and-death fight. However, the cavalry used in a life-and-death fight were now mobilized by him in advance. Although they could temporarily stop the decline in the battle formation and even turn defeat into victory, Yijinhuo still had options.
He called the officers in the rear formation and confirmed that the 6,000 cavalrymen in the rear formation were all ready. He only ordered: "Follow me to attack the enemy's formation!"
According to common sense, now that the rebel reinforcements are heading to the left wing to fight with it, they only need to stagger it, let the left wing struggle with it for a while, and then lead a counterattack from the right wing. The army's collapse was almost a foregone conclusion.
But he still felt that it was not enough, or that such a fight would cause too much damage. So Ijinhuo led the cavalry in the rear to make a grand circle around the edge of the battlefield. Without even looking at the right wing of the rebels, he ran straight towards the tens of thousands of remaining rebel family members who were watching!
The rebels present did not expect this move. For a time, the morale on the battlefield was greatly depressed. They could hardly maintain their front line. Shan Yu's army immediately gained the upper hand. Yi Jinhuo was unmoved by this. He just ordered his followers to raise Shan Yu's flag. The flag rustled in the strong wind, which made his pride overflow. With such a great victory, he could not say that he would fight again. He is so famous that even the Xianbei people are afraid of him!
At this time, the leader of the thieves finally understood Yi Jinhuo's intention, and quickly stopped his advance, trying to change the front formation into the rear formation, and the rear formation into the front formation, turning to intercept Danghu, but the fighter planes on the battlefield were fleeting. , The thief leader obviously understood too late at this time, and it was too late to catch up.
When the eagle flag was about a mile away from the hills, the women, children, old and weak who were watching the battle on the hills understood the situation. For a moment, they pushed each other and fled backwards, shouting and wailing with fear and anger. . Iginho enjoyed this very much. He was trying to see how the human legs could escape the horse's legs.
But what surprised him was that there was a hill that was different. The people on it did not flee. Instead, they stayed on the hill. A group of people bent down and hurriedly carried something between the hills. A group of people followed the wind and stretched their bows at him. When shooting arrows, the wind picked up again, and many arrows hit his side.
Yi Jinhuo thought to himself, could there be relatives of the thief leader here? That's why he was able to counterattack, and what was being moved inside was probably the treasure that the leader of the thief had plundered in several counties. With this in mind, he led the crowd to turn around and ordered his subordinates: "If you capture the family members of the leader of the thief, you will be rewarded." Hundreds of gold!”
When his subordinates heard the words, they cheered and rushed to the hill with him against the wind. Unexpectedly, they got dozens of steps in front of the hill. Just as they were about to rush up, the people on the hill raised dust and sandstones on the top of the hill. The strong wind swept them like a yellow dragon. , the dust was overwhelming and swept towards the six thousand cavalry. It was really endless, pouring all over the heads and faces of Yi Jinhuo's men.
Changes occurred that no one expected.
Yi Jinhuo couldn't see anything clearly. He only heard someone vaguely shouting in the hills: "They are finished! Kill them all!" Then he heard the deafening shouts of killing, and he opened his mouth to say something. , but he couldn't say anything in the wind and sand.
He wanted to drive the horses back, but the horses were also blinded and did not obey the orders at all. The sound of arrows and shouts of death made them jump, foam at the mouth, and collide with each other like crazy. Many cavalrymen could not stabilize their legs and were knocked down.
When Yi Jinhuo was thrown off his horse, he also heard the sound of Shan Yu's eagle flag falling to the ground behind him. Even if he couldn't see it, he knew that the battle had been completely lost. He didn't have time to regret why he didn't be more conservative. I don't know who it was. An arrow hit his throat, which was open for breathing.
Da Danghu died on the spot.
