Right General Yi Hanxie, who had drank a lot of wine and bragged about his skills with his men all night, just lay down in the tent.
I don’t know if it was because those Hun nobles told dirty jokes all night.
As soon as he closed his eyes, the image of the Yuezhi woman appeared in his head.
"That's a woman from the Great Chanyu. You shouldn't think too much."
The right general was tossing and turning in his tent, thinking wildly in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.
He was about to go out of the tent to pee, but as soon as he stood up, he felt a little dizzy, and there were noises outside the tent.
"Did that guy Ma Lidang come back on horseback?"
The right general was in a daze, and when he opened the curtain, he heard a sharp scream in the distance.
"Enemy attack!"
"The Qin people attacked!"
The Huns outside were screaming.
There were warning sounds, fighting sounds, and calls for help one after another.
"The Qin Army is here? Hasn't the Qin Army already broken camp and gone south? Is that guy Ma Lidi eating shit? How can we let the Qin Army cross the river?"
The right general was trembling all over. He was already more than half awake. His sleepiness and drunkenness had all receded. He shouted: "Come here, please bring me the general's horse!"
What came faster than the general on the right was the Qin cavalry.
This cavalry numbered tens of thousands, and they attacked lightly and at great speed.
Five thousand of them dismounted under the cover of the moonlight, quickly broke through the sentries posted by the Huns on the outside, and went straight into the Huns camp, killing and causing chaos.
Another five thousand cavalry surrounded the Huns camp to blockade them, trying to kill all the Huns cavalry who rushed out.
As for the south bank of the river, there are more black infantry, lighting torches and running towards here under the light of the bright moon.
"Another night attack! Don't these hateful Qin people know any other tricks? They are so shameless!"
At this time, General Yi Hanxie, the right general, had already sat on his war horse under the protection of a group of close followers.
He looked at the camp that had fallen into chaos and fighting, and cursed angrily. At the same time, he knew very well that the defeat was irreversible.
It was in the middle of the night, and the Huns had no precautions. They were basically asleep, so they were caught off guard by the Qin people.
Most Huns who woke up from their dreams had only those few reactions at the first moment.
who I am?
Where am I?
what happened?
Even some unlucky Huns were knocked to the ground by the passing Qin cavalry as soon as they ran out of the camp to check the situation.
In such a state, how could the Huns organize a decent counterattack.
Not to mention that the Qin people far outnumbered the Huns, and they were definitely not something that his five thousand people could resist.
The right general has gloriously inherited the tradition of the Huns. He advances when he sees advantages and retreats when disadvantages arise. He does not feel ashamed to retreat.
"We've lost, let's go!"
The right general spat in the direction where the Qin army was coming, and rushed north with more than a dozen personal guards who had gathered in a short period of time.
At the same time, the nobles of the Xiongnu tribes also reacted. Under the protection of their own personal guards, they panicked and followed the steps of the right general to break through.
According to the general situation, if the Qin army comes from the south, it is natural for them to go north, so that they can escape and run back to the north to report the news to Touman Shanyu.
But this time the leader of the Qin army they faced was Zhao Tuo.
This person has always been considerate in everything he does.
Only 5,000 cavalrymen rushed into the Huns camp and killed them, while the other 5,000 cavalrymen went around to the north of the camp to blockade them.
As soon as these Xiongnu nobles fled north, they ran into the open pockets of the Qin people.
"Hahaha, Brother Cao, the general just favors us and gives us the opportunity to make meritorious deeds!"
In the north of Hu Camp, Fan Kuai was sitting on his horse, looking at the black figures running out of the camp, his face almost broke with laughter.
Cao Shen pursed his lips and nodded.
As the close confidants of the general, he and Fan Kuai could usually rely on this relationship to enter the commander's tent, observe the generals' discussions, and gain a lot of military knowledge.
When the time came for the war, Zhao Tuo sent them and their elite short-range soldiers down to fight on the battlefield.
Such behavior is nepotism and is meant to give them the opportunity to make meritorious deeds!
"The general has treated me like this, Cao Shen, and I will do my best to repay you and live up to this kindness!"
Cao Shen was moved. He raised his arms and shouted: "Kill the enemy with meritorious service and repay the kindness of the general. Charge!"
On the side, Fan Kuai also roared and rushed forward with his knights.
…
Wait until the morning light is dimming on the horizon.
On this battlefield that had been fought in the middle of the night, black flags were already flying, and there were countless black-armored Qin troops on the surrounding grasslands.
The Qin soldiers escorted the Huns prisoners to gather together, counted their numbers, and searched the battlefield along the way. They cut off the heads of the dead Huns and laid them out not far away to tally their merits.
Considering that it was autumn and the weather was dry, attacking with fire would easily cause fire and burn one's body. Therefore, the Qin army did not use fire in this night attack. Instead, they used cavalry to quickly rush into the Hu camp, causing chaos to it, and then the infantry followed closely. Following them, one camp after another was cleared, those who resisted were killed, and those who surrendered were captured.
As for the north, five thousand cavalry were blocking the way and successfully captured a bunch of Huns nobles who wanted to escape.
Zhao Tuo sat on his horse, surrounded by short soldiers, and looked at the messy battlefield in front of him.
He watched the military law officials walking on the "melon field" full of human heads, counting the number of heads while writing down the corresponding meritorious deeds on the wooden slips.
The Qin soldiers who were following him had smiles on their faces, and they were talking to each other about upgrading their titles after the war.
This reminded Zhao Tuo of how when he first joined the army, he fought hard on the battlefield for one or two heads in exchange for his title and merit.
At that time, every battle was full of expectations for meritorious service. Every time he obtains a first-level title, it will bring him unparalleled pleasure.
"Now that I think about it, the most exciting time was when I was a soldier. The happiness I felt at that time..."
"Sigh...it's quite cruel to be a soldier."
Zhao Tuo shook his head secretly again. He thought of the Paoze brothers who fought against Yan.
The stone that died silently in the battle, the elder and the younger brother who were trampled into meat by the Yan army's charge.
In one battle, three of ten people died, and the rest were also injured.
The cruelty of war can be seen. Zhao Tuo was able to become the general of Qin today, but his feet were also covered with bones.
While Zhao Tuo was sighing in his heart, his favorite generals Fan Kuai and Cao Shen came over escorting several Huns wearing Hu clothes and looking embarrassed.
Fan Kuai's voice arrived first before Fan Kuai arrived.
"General, this man is the right general of the Huns. He is the commander-in-chief of the Huns here. The others are the heads of the Huns, Qiqu, and Qianchang. Except for a few of the nobles of the Huns who escaped by chance, We caught all the others.”
How many escaped?
Zhao Tuo nodded slightly.
Even if the Qin army had the upper hand in a surprise attack under the moonlit night, it would be almost impossible to catch all 5,000 men without missing a beat when the field of vision was not very good, the field was a grassland, and the enemy had horses. matter.
Now being able to capture the right general who is commanding this place has already achieved a great feat.
"Very good, I was not disappointed."
Zhao Tuo boasted smoothly.
Fan Kuai and Cao Shen immediately blushed and their eyes were full of excitement. The general's praise and recognition made them more happy than being promoted.
After praising his two beloved generals, Zhao Tuo's eyes fell on the Hun prisoners in front of him.
The situation is similar to what the counselors deduced and the captured Huns scouts explained. After reaching the deal and seeing the Qin army withdrawing south, Touman Shanyu did not stay here longer. Instead, he led the Huns army back to Yinshan, leaving only the right general to lead the troops. Stay here.
This caused Zhao Tuo to lose the opportunity to attack the Xiongnu royal court again at night, but it also allowed the army to successfully cross the Yellow River and annihilate part of the Xiongnu, which was regarded as wiping out part of the enemy's effective force.
He looked at the right general of the Huns who was gnashing his teeth and looking at him with hatred.
Zhao Tuo smiled, opened his mouth and reprimanded: "You, the right general, since you have been ordered to station and patrol here by Shan Yu, why don't you send people to patrol along the river? Because of your negligence, our army successfully crossed the river and attacked Do you think you are guilty of defeating five thousand Xiongnu people?"
The third one is a little later.
