It's almost time.
The rising sun is rising in the east.
Five miles away from Minghu Mountain, there is the main tent of King Li of the Xiongnu Army in Yougu.
After Mu Liangha and Jordan had been plotting for nearly half an hour.
Finally, the next step of combat deployment was clarified.
The first moment of the hour.
Jordan left the tent of King Li's army in Youguli surrounded by more than a hundred elite wolf guards.
Then he rode into the Wolf Guard camp.
Fang Yi approached the main tent of the left army and the central army.
The Wolf Guard Scout Qianqi Commander Ku Gu'er, who had been waiting outside the tent for who knows how long, was shocked.
Then he trotted all the way to meet him.
"My lord."
"Captain Hu Yanwan is here to report."
"The Zhou army is now only fifteen miles away from the Maoming Valley."
Kugur trotted to Jordan's side, greeted him and reported quickly.
"Fifteen miles..."
After hearing this, Jordan murmured in a low voice, then raised his head and glanced at the sky.
Last night Hu Yanyujin ordered someone to come and tell the time. Xiahou Dong's troops had set up camp more than 20 miles away in the Maoming River Valley.
Now it was only around 10 o'clock in the morning, and Xiahou Dong's troops had already arrived fifteen miles away in the Maoming River Valley.
Obviously, Xiahou Dong was far more anxious than Jordan expected.
"Have you ever ascertained the number of soldiers and horses in Zhou's army?"
Jordan calmed down for a moment, then asked in a deep voice.
"Go back to your lord."
"Captain Hu Yanwan said that the number of cavalry dispatched by the Zhou army was about 10,000."
"There are about fifteen thousand infantry."
Ku Gu'er reported the matter truthfully.
"Ten thousand cavalry and fifteen thousand infantry..."
Hearing this, Jordan's eyelids couldn't help but droop slightly, as if he was deep in thought.
"Report!"
Before Jordan could raise his eyelids again, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from behind him.
More than a dozen Wolf Guard scouts with command flags on their backs rode quickly, dragging several people wearing Dazhou armor.
"Your Majesty."
"There are five more Zhou soldiers who want to sneak into Minghu Mountain."
"Now they have all been captured. Three of the five are dead and two are wounded."
The leader of the Hun scouts dismounted and quickly walked three steps away from Jordan.
"Take him down for questioning."
Hearing this, Jordan couldn't help but raise his eyelids and look at Kugur.
"Follow the order!"
Ku Gu'er bowed respectfully and accepted the order.
The words are over.
Ku Gu'er bowed again and then left.
"Wait a minute."
Just when Ku Gu'er was about to walk towards the several Zhou army scouts.
Jotun suddenly spoke up and stopped Kugur.
"Your Majesty?"
Kugur turned around and saluted respectfully again.
"From now on."
"Don't let go of a Minghu Mountain Zhou Army spy."
Jordan ordered in a deep voice.
In the past few months, Li Guangli's troops were besieged in Minghu Mountain.
Jordan already knew all the secret passages leading to the outside world from Minghu Mountain.
And a large number of elite scouts were ambushed and monitored secretly.
It is no exaggeration to say that Minghu Mountain Zhou Jun was able to get in touch with the outside world.
Therefore.
Long before the Huns attacked the mountain yesterday.
Jordan directly cut off all contact with the outside world and the Zhou army in Minghu Mountain.
That is: Zhou army scouts in Minghu Mountain can go down the mountain from the secret road to ask for help.
But after leaving Minghu Mountain and trying to enter Minghu Mountain to convey military information, the difficulty is comparable to climbing to the sky.
Now Xiahoudong's troops have reached fifteen miles away from the Maoming River Valley.
Jordan and Mulianha no longer needed to continue attacking the mountain to exert pressure.
Then, the Minghu Mountain Zhou army scouts would naturally no longer have the need to continue entering and exiting Minghu Mountain.
"Follow the order!"
The Xiongnu left army in front of the central tent.
After hearing this, Ku Gu'er saluted again to accept his orders, and then left.
After Ku Gu'er and others disappeared completely.
Jordan put his hands behind his back and took a deep look at the direction of the Maoming River Valley.
A bloodthirsty smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth.
...
...
"The former army rests where it is!"
"The former army rests where it is!"
"The former army rests where it is!"
Chen hour and five quarters.
Xia Houdong's five thousand infantry troops entered ten miles into the Maoming River Valley.
Dozens of messengers who rushed out from the Chinese army rushed forward and shouted to stop.
Not long after.
Xiahou Dong's 5,000 infantry front army stopped completely ten miles away from the Maoming River Valley.
And rested in formation on the spot.
Chen hour and seven quarters.
Ten thousand infantrymen from Xiahoudong's middle army and rear army, as well as ten thousand cavalrymen from the left and right wings, arrived ten miles away from the Maoming Valley one after another.
at the same time.
Under the banner of Xiahou Dong's army.
It's the year when the destiny is known, and Xia Houdong, the guard general of Dashan Pass and general against thieves, whose beard has turned gray, is sitting on the back of a horse wearing a gilt and bright armor.
With a serious face, he issued military orders one after another.
And with Xia Houdong issuing military orders one after another.
The twenty-five thousand soldiers resting on the spot quickly changed their formations under the command of their respective generals and flags.
in.
The cavalry on the left and right flanks originally had five thousand troops each.
Each quickly dispatched 1,500 cavalry and integrated them into the central army.
There were originally five thousand infantry troops at the front and rear.
Each of them also dispatched a thousand infantry and returned them to the central army.
So far.
The Chinese army, which originally had only 5,000 soldiers and horses, quickly expanded to 10,000.
A total of 1,300 pieces of crossbows carried by the front, middle and rear armies were quickly returned to the Chinese army.
Through the hands of craftsmen in the army, it was quickly reorganized from dispersion.
Subsequently, 500 aircraft were transferred to the rear army, 500 aircraft were transferred to the front army, and only 300 aircraft were left in the central army.
at the same time.
At the same time, a total of 18,000 soldiers from the front, middle and rear armies changed their formations again.
Change from marching array to combat array.
Early noon.
The transformation is over.
Just when Xia Houdong was about to order the army to set off again.
Suddenly, more than a hundred scouts rushed from the rear with red flags on their backs.
"Report!"
"Report!"
"Report!"
When more than a hundred scouts approached the Chinese army, they all stood up and dismounted.
After the leader of the scouts verified his identity, he immediately ran three steps away from Xiahoudong.
"Report General!"
"General Cheng's document!"
The scout uncle clasped his fists in salute, and then quickly took out a document from his arms.
"Send it up."
After hearing this, Xia Houdong spoke without hesitation and gave instructions.
The general Cheng mentioned by the scout was not someone else.
Surprisingly, it was one of his right-hand men, Deputy General Cheng Guoshun of Dashan Pass.
Now he is sitting in his military stronghold.
"Follow the order!"
Upon hearing this, the scout uncle once again cupped his fists in salute, and then quickly stepped forward with the book in hand.
Xia Houdong took the document from the scout, then opened it and read it carefully.
However, just read a few breaths.
Xia Houdong frowned for a moment unconsciously.
Tens of breaths later.
Xia Houdong put away the document in his hand, and then looked at the scout in front of him again.
"Tell General Cheng!"
"Keep up the urging!"
Xia Houdong pondered for a few breaths, and then gave instructions in a deep voice.
"Follow the order!"
Upon hearing this, the scout chief immediately clasped his fists and accepted the order, then retreated.
After the scout uncle's figure completely disappeared.
Xia Houdong turned his head and took a deep look at Yan Di's location.
There were faint signs of frowning again on his brows.
As early as after learning the news that King Yan Yi vowed to order troops.
He then ordered people to carry out urging actions one after another.
Therefore, we can unite our forces as soon as possible to support Minghu Mountain.
However, it does not matter whether it is King Yi of Yan or his military commander named Xin Sixuan.
Every time, various reasons and excuses are used to prevaricate and ignore the urging.
Just then I sent the documents sent by Cheng Guoshun, the deputy general of Guan Pass.
Astonishingly, it was written by Xin Sixuan, the military commander of King Yi of Yan.
The contents were not as expected by Xia Houdong.
There were also excuses such as a sudden encounter with the Xiongnu tribe who blocked the journey, and a battle between the two sides that delayed the trip.
Tens of breaths later.
Xia Houdong, who was under the banner of the Chinese Army, still frowned after all.
"More than three hundred miles?"
"By the time you lead your army to Minghu Mountain, the day lilies will already be cold!"
"After this battle, let's see how I join your military commander!"
Xia Houdong frowned slightly and snorted, then looked sideways at the Maoming River Valley ahead.
The brows that were slightly frowning were now completely furrowed.
"Drumroll! March!"
After dozens of breaths, Xia Houdong calmed down briefly and then waved his big hand and ordered in a deep voice.
"The general has an order! Beat the drums and march!"
"The general has an order! Beat the drums and march!"
"The general has an order! Beat the drums and march!"
His orders were quickly transmitted to all armies through the mouths of the messengers.
At the same time, the rumble of war drums gradually sounded very rhythmically.
"Boom!"
"Boom! Boom!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Two quarters past noon.
Xiahou Dong's 25,000 soldiers marched forward in formation again.
Three quarters past noon.
The Zhou army scouts sent by Xiahou Dong to investigate the enemy's situation three miles away from the front army were suddenly ambushed by the Xiongnu.
In just a quarter of an hour.
More than half of the five hundred scouts sent were killed or injured!
Four quarters past noon.
After the Zhou army's 500 scouts suffered nearly 70% casualties.
Finally, he escaped back to the Chinese Army.
After Xia Houdong learned the news, he immediately ordered his army to form an array on the spot and prepare to meet the enemy.
at this time.
Xiahoudongbu is only six miles away from Maoming Valley.
Seven quarters past noon.
Xiahou Dong's 25,000 soldiers had been on guard for three quarters of an hour.
However, during these three quarters of an hour, not a single Xiongnu figure was seen.
"The Huns want to drag us to death outside the Maoming Valley."
Under the banner of the Chinese Army.
Xia Houdong sat on the horseback, looking at the Maoming River Valley not far away with a solemn face, and murmured in a low voice.
The Xiongnu killed the scouts but did not leave the Maoming Valley.
For Xiahoudong, this was undoubtedly a delaying strategy for the Huns.
If it is an ordinary time.
Before the specific number of Xiongnu troops and horses was ascertained.
Even if Xia Houdong knew that this was a tactic by the Huns to slow down their troops, he would not act rashly.
But this time and that time.
Judging from the news received last night.
He could wait, but Li Guangli couldn't wait.
"Rest where you are for a quarter of an hour!"
"In a quarter of an hour, beat the drums and march again!"
Xia Houdong hesitated again and again, and finally gave the order in a deep voice.
About five quarters past noon.
The sound of marching drums rumbled again among the Zhou army.
Twenty-five thousand Zhou army soldiers marched forward in formation again!
The beginning of time.
Just when 25,000 Zhou soldiers marched to the Maoming River Valley three miles away.
Xia Houdong suddenly ordered the army to line up on the spot and rest for a quarter of an hour.
at the same time.
On a low hillside on the edge of the Maoming River Valley.
Hu Yanyu, the captain of the Wolf Cavalry, squatted on a rock with a piece of grass in his mouth.
He stared coldly at Xiahou Dong's 25,000 soldiers who were once again arrayed and resting three miles away.
At the edge of the river valley beneath him.
Ten thousand wolf guards and six thousand fearless knights were all sitting on the ground.
Or eating dried meat in small bites.
Or drink water in small sips.
"Captain Hu Yanwan."
Just as Hu Yanyujin was quietly looking at the Zhou army array three miles away.
Fearless Cavalry Ten Thousand Cavalry Long Tiefuxiong suddenly walked towards the hillside where Hu Yanyujin was.
"What's the matter?"
Hu Yanyujin asked without looking back.
"This week, the military commander is too cowardly."
"How long does it take to walk just a few miles?"
Tiefu Xiong walked to Hu Yanyujin's side, looked down at the Zhou army formation three miles away, and then sat down next to Hu Yanyujin.
"General Zhou is not a coward."
"He is afraid that we will wait for him to work."
Hu Yanyujin glanced sideways at the Tiefu Bear, and then looked at the Zhou army array below again.
"It doesn't matter whether he is a coward or a cautious person."
"Didn't we discuss last night that we would fight them as soon as they approached the Maoming Valley?"
"Now Zhou Jun is only three miles away from us."
Tiefu Xiong looked at the Zhou army array that was still resting in place, and then asked.
"Not urgent."
"Look again."
Hu Yanyujin opened his mouth and answered.
From beginning to end, his sight rarely left the Zhou army array.
"What are you looking at?"
Tiefu Xiong said in confusion upon hearing this.
"nothing."
"Let's send them on their way."
Hu Yanyujin took a deep look at Xiahou Dong's front army and the Chinese army on the right side.
Then he stood up, patted his butt and walked straight down the hillside.
"It's time to send them on their way."
"It's a long walk."
After hearing this, the Tiefu Bear stood up and walked down the hillside.
Then he went straight towards Liuqian Wuwei and rode away.
Not even a moment later.
The army of Zhou army began to march with drums.
Twenty-five thousand soldiers marched in formation again amidst the rumble of drums.
Not even three minutes later.
Just when Xiahou Dong's front army was only a little over a mile away from the edge of the Maoming River Valley.
The deafening sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded in the Maoming River Valley.
For a moment, it seemed that even the earth was shaking from the sound of the horse's hooves.
at the same time.
Under the great Zhou Dynasty banner that rustled in the wind.
Xia Houdong, who heard the sound of horse hooves, looked relaxed for no reason.
They are not afraid of the Xiongnu coming, but they are afraid of not knowing when the Xiongnu will come.
"coming!"
"Get up from the high platform quickly!"
Xia Houdong calmed down for a moment, then gave a loud order.
"Follow the order!"
Upon hearing this, all the guards of the Chinese army quickly clasped their fists and accepted the order.
Then he quickly put together the wooden table that had been prepared for a long time.
Not long after.
A temporary high platform made of square tables suddenly rose from the ground.
The high platform rises.
Xia Houdong quickly climbed up to the high platform surrounded by several shield-wielding guards.
at the same time.
Countless Huns cavalry roared out of the Maoming River Valley.
Fang Yi comes out of Maoming River Valley
.
The Huns cavalry quickly divided into two groups and ran toward the wide areas on the left and right sides of the Maoming River Valley.
The front of the troops pointed directly at Xiahou Dong's left and right cavalry.
Xiahou Dongfang stood firm on the temporary high platform.
Then he quickly looked at the Hun cavalry attacking on the left and right wings.
At this time, the Huns cavalry also formed a formation to charge and kill.
But under the billowing smoke and dust, Xia Houdong would never be able to estimate the specific strength of the Huns in a short period of time.
However, his many years of experience in leading troops tell him all the time.
The number of cavalry that the Huns killed on the left and right flanks should be around six thousand.
It's too late, but it's soon.
The Huns cavalry fought their way out of the Maoming Valley.
Xiahoudong's cavalry, who had always been guarding the left and right wings of the Chinese army, immediately raised their whips, struck their horses, and charged forward.
Just when Xiahou Dong's cavalry on the left and right wings were only 200 steps away from the Xiongnu.
Countless arrows were suddenly thrown out from the front infantry formation.
For a moment, the sky-blocking arrows rushed toward the Huns' formation with endless force.
"Pfft~! Pfft~! Pfft~!"
"Pfft~! Pfft~! Pfft~!"
"Dang~! Dang~! Dang~!"
"Dang~! Dang~! Dang~!"
The cavalry of the two armies had not yet completely clashed.
Already a large number of Huns cavalry fell to the sky arrows.
The small crossbows mixed in with the ordinary arrows would only miss, and one hit could often take away two or three Huns.
