For these Huns, this was not the best time to attack.

But the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong heard the drums and shouts of death coming from the left wing were really loud.

This shows that the confrontation between the two armies behind the hillside on the left wing has begun.

At this moment, if the center and right wing of the Xiongnu army retreat, the Qingzhou Han army will most likely turn to attack the Xiongnu army on the left.

Once the Xiongnu left wing collapses, it is very likely to affect the actions of the entire army.

On a battlefield that is several miles wide, once the army retreats when engaging the enemy, it may cause panic among the soldiers.

Because it is really inconvenient to transmit information on the battlefield, and everyone on the battlefield is nervous, an ordinary retreat may turn into a disorderly retreat.

The Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong already knew at this time that the Xiongnu army on the left wing must be immediately removed from the battle before the entire army could retreat. He must not ignore them.

"Come on, hurry up and show me what's going on on the left wing!"

The Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong immediately gave a loud order.

Several Hulu cavalry immediately took orders and rode towards the left wing. At this time, the Hun generals next to them also began to speculate.

"Your Majesty, it was the Taibao who must have seen the fighter plane and started to attack. Why don't we just rush forward and forget it." A Hun general said.

On the battlefield at this time, some Huns cavalry had already stood out in front of the formation and began to tentatively attack the Qingzhou Han army.

However, the main force of the Huns army had already dismounted and fought on foot because it was inconvenient to ride horses on the mountains.

If the Huns army retreated at this time, it might turn a retreat into a disorderly rout.

"Your Majesty, don't hesitate any longer. All the troops are already feeling uneasy. If we just retreat like this, I'm afraid the morale of the troops will be disturbed, and the more than 20,000 people on the left wing will be in danger."

After hearing the words of these generals, the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong frowned. He straightened up and looked towards the northwest.

There were about 20,000 people on the left wing of the Huns in that direction, and more than 5,000 of them attacked from the side and behind the hillside. This is where most of the sounds came from.

"From such a distance, you can hear such noises and shouts of killing. It seems that the battle situation has reached a stalemate. Even if you want to leave, you can't leave easily."

Liu Cong quickly calculated the gains and losses in his mind. Although he already hated Taibao Liu Yang and other old stubborns in his heart, the troops under their command were all sergeants of the Huns who massacred various ministries.

For the Tuge Xiongnu, whose population was only a hundred thousand, the loss of even three to five thousand elites was unacceptable, let alone the loss of tens of thousands of soldiers.

"Time waits for no one! Give me my order, beat the drum!"

"All three armies attack!"

The Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong had no time to wait for the cavalry to check the military situation to return. He decided to launch an attack on the Qingzhou Han army ahead as soon as possible.

Regardless of the reason why the Xiongnu army on the left ignored his order and began to actively attack the Qingzhou bandits, they could no longer order a retreat at this time.

It may be that the Xiongnu Taibao Liu Yang and others discovered the fighter plane, and then launched a surprise attack towards the side and rear of the Qingzhou bandit army.

If this was the case, the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong would never tolerate losing this opportunity.

Even if they were frightened by the bombardment of several 'sky thunders' just now, they would never be able to retreat.

"Woo!"

"Woo!"

Amidst waves of low horn horns, the large formation of the Huns army began to approach firmly towards the Qingzhou Han army on the hillside in front.

When the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong and others heard the sounds of fighting coming from behind the hillside on the left wing, Liu Yu, who was in the middle of Mangshan Avenue, had already heard the sounds coming from there.

"What's going on? Could it be that the Hulu have already started attacking?" Zhao Kun, the guard general, immediately looked towards the hillside in surprise.

"The Hulu just sent thousands of people to encircle the rear. Did they start attacking so soon?"

Liu Yu was also surprised and confused.

If the Xiongnu army circled back and immediately launched an attack without stopping, there was only one possibility: there was a loophole in the Han army's defense on the right hillside, allowing the Xiongnu army to seize the opportunity and not even have time to regroup before charging.

"Quick, send someone to check and report back quickly!"

Liu Yu immediately grabbed a guard next to him and ordered.

After receiving the order, the guard of the Han army's central army immediately jumped on his horse, whipped his whip fiercely, and headed towards the hillside as quickly as possible.

Just now, after the Huns army was frightened by the flying arrows of divine fire, the lineup was already scattered.

The Han army had already gained the advantage of taking the lead, but now it suddenly suffered a change from the right wing.

At this time, Liu Yu couldn't help praying, hoping that the situation on the right wing of the Han army would not be too bad.

Otherwise, once the situation on the hillside on the right wing becomes unfavorable, the Central Army must allocate troops to defend it, and the advantage of being at a high altitude must not be transferred to the hands of the Huns.

But in this case, the Chinese army, which faces the greatest pressure from the Huns, will bear more pressure.

"Zhao Kun, gather your troops and horses. If the right wing is in danger, lead your troops to rush to the right wing's aid!"

At this time, Liu Yu said to Xi Jian next to him, "Servant, when the battle situation becomes critical after the battle, you can retreat a little bit!"

Xi Jian and other staff officers who are counselors for military affairs do not have strong combat effectiveness at all. Instead, they need to be assigned manpower for protection, so it is better to let them stay back.

"Why did your Majesty say this? In times of war crisis, the Chinese army must not move lightly. As the commander-in-chief, there is no reason to retreat!"

Seeing Xi Jian's serious expression, Liu Yu no longer bothered to persuade him.

At this time, the sound of drums and horns rang out from the Hun army on the opposite hillside.

"The Hulu are about to attack!"

Liu Yu felt even more nervous. First, there was a sudden battle situation on the right wing, and then the Huns army changed their previous cautiousness and began to approach.

This seems to have been planned in advance.

As the Xiongnu army approached, the Hulu infantry protruding from the front began to be shot down by Han archers.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Amidst the sound of densely packed feather arrows piercing the air, countless feather arrows drilled into the dense Hulu formation.

After a scream, the Hun army suffered a brutal blow from the front.

However, there were not many Hulu who were actually killed, and it did not affect the advancement of the Hulu army at all.

"shoot!"

After another burst of roars from the Han army, a new round of feather arrows was shot out.

After three rounds of feather arrows, the Xiongnu army finally came close to the distance where they could touch the Han army even if they shot from above.

"Bang bang bang!"

Liu Yu heard the sound of bowstrings, and then saw a rain of arrows heading towards the Han army's formation.

Several personal guards beside him immediately raised shields and blocked Liu Yu with their bodies.

"Bang bang bang!"

Liu Yu's position was particularly eye-catching because of the ceremonial guards and military flags, so he naturally received more arrows.

However, these Huns' feather arrows had very little effect on the Han army protected by iron armor and shields.

Only occasionally extremely unlucky Han soldiers were shot in the face or through gaps in their armor.

"kill!"

With roars one after another, the Huns army, which had climbed nearly a hundred steps up the hillside, finally began to run wildly at a distance of twenty steps and made the final charge.

"Hulu is so careless!?"

Xi Jian immediately looked in disbelief when he saw this scene.

These Xiongnu infantry began to run wildly at such a long distance. By the time they met the Han infantry, their formation must have been in disarray.

"The Hulu must be deceiving our army because of its small strength. They want to drown us with their numbers!"

When Liu Yu saw the densely packed Xiongnu infantry coming up, he felt somewhat reassured.

After these Huns troops left horse and infantry warfare, they fully exposed their shortcomings. The discipline and array that infantry relied on most were too difficult for them to achieve.

"What we should worry about most is not these Xiongnu infantry, but the Hulu armored cavalry behind them!"

Liu Yu pointed with his hand at the rear of the Xiongnu infantry, where thousands of Xiongnu cavalry had all formed an array and were likely to charge towards the center of the Han army at any time.

"These barbarians want to use infantry to disrupt our army, and then use cavalry to break the formation!"

Liu Yu naturally understood this situation, but these Huns obviously thought too simply.

Even though the Huns had a military advantage, the Han army had a way to target the Hulu's dense infantry array.

Soon, the front-line infantry of the Huns rushed forward with their spears and spears roaring.

The infantrymen in the front row of the Han army were as unmoved as stone statues. Only the gently shaking blades of spears and spears made it known that they were living people, not real stone statues.

Liu Yu, who was behind the Chinese army, looked at the two groups of people about to collide, and his eyes couldn't help but see the desire and obsession for killing.

"His Majesty!"

An exclamation pulled Liu Yu back from it.

It turned out to be the personal guard who had just been sent to investigate the military situation on the right wing.

"What's going on with the right wing!" Liu Yu asked immediately.

The guard was panting, "Your Majesty, Yulin Army Supervisor Ran Liang led his troops to charge into the formation, and they have defeated the Hulu formations three times in a row!"

"What? You mean Ran Liang led the attack first?"

Liu Yu was immediately shocked.

He placed the brave Ran Liang and other Yulin troops on the right wing in order to rush to support the gap in the lineup, or as a final assault force.

But I never thought about letting Ran Liang and other Yulin Youth Army be the starting force.

However, the expression on the guard's face revealed joy. Obviously, the situation on the right wing was not that the Huns and Hulu had caught the opportunity, but rather that Ran Liang and others had caught the Hulu's mistake!

"Your Majesty, the Hulu formation at the foot of the hill was attacked by a divine rocket. Several people were killed on the spot. The Hulu formation at the foot of the hill was in chaos. Ran Liang personally led 300 Yulin troops to attack in a surprise attack. No one could stop the Hulu. !"

After Liu Yu heard this, he couldn't help but clapped his hands in time and applauded.

"Okay, it seems like the Hulu left wing will definitely be in chaos!"

"Zhao Kun, you take these cavalry to help Ran Liang quickly. You must not give Hulu another chance to regroup!"

When General Zhao Kun heard this, he hesitated in his heart. After all, the cavalry under him were all there to protect the emperor. If they went to the right wing to help, they would not have the dedicated force to protect the emperor.

"Go quickly!"

Liu saw that Zhao Kun was hesitant and immediately gave an order.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Kun no longer hesitated and took the order as fast as he could fly.

Just at this time, the infantry of the Xiongnu army rushed forward and started a fierce close combat with the Han army infantry who had been waiting for a long time.

After all the probing and exchanges between spears and spears, the Hulu infantry who surged up like a tide launched a fearless charge with their strongest blood and courage.

"puff!"

"puff!"

Even Liu Yu, who was behind the array, could already hear the continuous sounds of swords and guns piercing flesh, followed by bursts of brutal howls and roars.

Amidst the bursts of clashing sounds of swords and guns, mixed with the friction of swords and guns stabbing at the armor, one can hear bursts of soreness in the ears.

"kill!"

"kill!"

In front of the Xiongnu infantry who howled like wild beasts, the Han infantry still issued bursts of orderly orders.

As the slogans progressed, the Han infantry faced the surging Hulu army. Not only did they not retreat at all, but they took half a step forward.

At the same time, a large section of the Hulu infantry in the front row fell almost instantly.

However, the Hulu infantry who followed closely behind were not timid at all.

They have become accustomed to covering up fear with their bestiality on the battlefield. This loss of human life will not scare them.

"kill!"

"puff!"

After another burst of intensive fighting, a large number of Hulu infantry even rushed into the front row of spearmen of the Han army.

These Hulu armed with swords avoided the spears and spears, and began to try to approach and kill the Han army spearmen who were inconvenient for close combat.

However, a large number of sword and shield soldiers immediately emerged from among the array of Han army spearmen.

In this way, the two sides started a bloody fight between the narrow gaps between the spears.

Liu Yu, who was located at the rear of the military formation, could not actually see these specific battle situations. He could only see the Xiongnu infantry rushing forward in a desperate posture. It was obvious that these Hulu infantry were simply victims used to consume the Han army's physical strength. Its function is to create an opportunity for the Hulu armored cavalry behind to charge.

However, Liu Yu did not intend to give these Xiongnu infantry a chance to consume the Han army.

Following Liu Yu's order, bursts of special conch horn sounds immediately sounded in the frontal array of the Han army.

After these conch horns, which exuded a unique tone, sounded, two rows of tall and sturdy lightly armored soldiers immediately stood up from behind the Han army's infantry array.

These tall and mighty-looking Han soldiers did not hold swords, guns or crossbows in their hands. Instead, they held a strange yellow-brown ball in their hands.

When the Han army's conch horn sounded for the second time, these Han army soldiers threw the yellow-brown balls in their hands toward the Huns infantry formation in front.

The flying balls crossed the battle zone in a parabola and landed on the Hulu infantry formation with a faint white smoke.

Although the several Hulu infantrymen who were hit suffered pain, they did not care at all. They thought it was a condescending stone thrown down by the Han army.

Suddenly, at this moment, there was an extremely loud shout of killing coming from the hillside to the west. The sound even overshadowed the fighting sounds of the infantrymen of both sides who were close at hand.

Some of the Hulu infantrymen closest to them looked up and saw large swaths of Hun soldiers escaping from the side of the hillside.

Followed closely were the Qingzhou Han Army flags and the mighty Han Army cavalry.

The leader of the Han army, a general of the Han army, was holding a long spear and leaping forward on his horse. The fleeing Huns soldiers were stabbed to death one by one by the long spear.

"Anyone who dares to block Ran Liang will die!"
