"What, tens of thousands of Hulu elites appeared in the north!?"
The news brought by these Han cavalry immediately shocked Liu Yu.
Yesterday's report said that there were about three to five thousand Hulu in the north of Mang Mountain, and they were all archers who were good at riding and shooting.
For the walled Ping County and the solid 3,000 Han armored soldiers, these Hulu light cavalry can still handle it.
However, if the Hulu gathered tens of thousands of elite armored cavalry, they might be in danger.
"Your Majesty, it may be ten thousand Hulu, or it may be more, because the general and others heard the sound of fighting in the direction of Ping County. There should be quite a few Hulu to besiege Ping County."
The south side of Mang Mountain, where the main force of the Han army is located, is exactly a three-point straight line with the north side of Mang Mountain and Ping County.
If the Huns concentrated their elite forces to cut off the retreat north of Mang Mountain, the main force of the Han army would not be able to obtain supplies from the rear.
In today's icy and snowy winter, once the supply route is lost, there is no need for the Huns to take the initiative to attack. They only need to slowly consume it, which is enough to defeat the Han army.
"Impossible! Now all the elite Hulu troops are in the front. They are all armored cavalry. How could the Hulu troops have so many elite armored cavalry and be able to divide their troops to detour to the north!"
The guard general Zhao Kun immediately said loudly.
He pointed forward with his hand and saw the rear of the Huns' formation in the distance. From a distance, they were all covered with black Hun cavalry.
Just like the scene yesterday, it was those elite armored cavalry.
"Your Majesty, it's impossible to see clearly from such a long distance. We can just see that Hulu's flag is the same as yesterday!"
Xi Jian immediately said, "Now our army has a favorable geographical location, and Li Feng's troops in the rear only have 3,000 infantry. If there is a loss, we will not be able to look at each other, and the army will be in danger!"
After hearing these words, Liu Yu looked at the Huns formation in front of him from a distance.
Sure enough, those elite Huns cavalry could only see the flags and couldn't see their specific situation clearly.
"There must be Hulu's suspects in the front, and those appearing in the rear now should be Hulu's elite!"
Liu Yu quickly made up his mind.
The Xiongnu soldiers and horses that the Han army is most afraid of today are the elite cavalry who rushed into battle yesterday to prevent the Han army's infantry from pursuing them.
If these elite barbarians attack in a detour from the rear, Liu Yu must find a way to support them. The rear route must not be lost.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead my troops to help!"
"Your Majesty, the general is also willing to go!"
As soon as they heard that the Huns had begun to attack the rear of the Han army, Zhao Kun and others all asked for a fight.
Liu Yu immediately ordered the guard general Zhao Kun, Yulin governor Ran Liang and others to lead all the cavalry to reinforce Li Feng in the rear.
As for the Huns troops in front of them, there is nothing to worry about.
After receiving the order, Zhao Kun, Ran Liang and others immediately led more than a thousand Han cavalry to the rear along Mangshan Avenue, followed closely by two thousand armored soldiers.
When Zhao Kun and Ran Liang arrived, they could hear shouts of killing coming from far away.
Obviously, Li Feng's troops were already fighting with the Xiongnu.
Zhao Kun and others did not show up in a hurry, but went forward to check it out before making a decision.
"Ran Liang, you and I fight out from the hillsides on the left and right, catching Hulu by surprise!"
Zhao Kun had already seen that the Han army guarding the center of the avenue had been surrounded by Hulu.
Although Li Feng's general's flag in the middle was still standing, it was beginning to show signs of difficulty under the impact of the waves of Hulu coming forward.
"Okay, Liang, let's follow General Zhao's plan!"
Ran Liang responded, immediately turned his horse back and led the Yulin cavalry to the left.
At the same time, the three thousand Han troops led by Li Feng, who were surrounded by the Huns, had fallen into complete passivity.
Three thousand Han troops were already prepared. They pushed the accompanying carts to the ground and formed a huge circular formation to block the impact of the Hulu cavalry.
Using such a car formation, they intercepted the Hulu's attempt to seize control of the road, and used the crossbows they carried with them to shoot at the Hulu outside.
However, as the Hulu Jiaqi gradually forced the Han army into a narrower area, control of the woods and hillsides on both sides was slowly lost.
More and more Hulu appeared behind the Han army's vehicle formation.
In order to cross the woods and mountains, these Huns cavalry abandoned their horses, walked to the rear of the Han army's array, and began to use their bows and arrows to approach the Han army's array and shoot at them.
For these Huns who appeared in the rear, the Han army under Li Feng had no way to expel them. They could only watch as more and more Huns detoured to their rear.
"General, the Hulu are charging into battle again!"
A sweaty general shouted to Li Feng.
At this time, Li Feng was holding a hard bow and was shooting at the Hulu outside.
"Bang!"
With a light sound from the bow string, Li Feng shot out the feather arrow in his hand. A Huns opposite was shot in the chest and fell on his back with a scream.
At this time, Li Feng withdrew his gaze and said loudly.
"If you rush into the formation, just rush into the formation, you're too scared!"
"Send all the spearmen to the north and withdraw all the archers here. I think these Hulu who are retreating are all timid people. Without horses, they dare not rush forward at all!"
After several charges just now, although the Huns cavalry were protected by armor, they still suffered a lot of casualties.
When Li Feng just arrived behind the formation in the north, the rumble of horse hooves came from the front.
Following the sound, I saw about a thousand Hulu cavalry, already arranged in several horizontal formations. Their armors shone brightly, giving people a very strong sense of oppression.
"Oh my God, are all the Hulu armored cavalry here?"
After Li Feng saw this situation, he couldn't help but wonder.
Several consecutive charges were made by the Huns cavalry. When did these Huns become so wealthy?
If you use so many elite soldiers to deal with your own three thousand people, how can you use it to deal with the main force of the Han army in the south?
"Rumble!"
As the thunderous sound of horse hooves became louder and louder, these Huns cavalry had already urged the horses to the highest speed.
Rows of spears pointed straight ahead emitted a chilling light, and the galloping horses rushed towards the Han army's array.
After seeing the powerful charge of these Xiongnu cavalry, a Xiongnu general said to the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong.
"Your Majesty, these Qingzhou thieves are almost exhausted. As long as they charge two more battles, they will be completely defeated!"
After hearing his words, the Hun Emperor Liu Cong's face not only did not have a happy expression, but became even more gloomy.
"There are only three thousand infantry. We have charged and killed so many times and still haven't broken through. How dare you say anything here!"
The Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong immediately scolded him dissatisfied.
According to Liu Cong's plan, these Qingzhou thieves would be completely defeated after three charges at most.
Therefore, when they started to attack, the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong still followed the strategy of surrounding three and missing one, and only attacked from the front and two sides, leaving the backs of these Qingzhou Han troops to retreat after their morale was dispersed. .
However, the fighting spirit of these Qingzhou bandits was extremely high, and they did not waver in the slightest because they suffered a lot of casualties.
"These Qingzhou thieves, only 3,000 people, blocked my tens of thousands of elite troops for an entire hour! If we can't defeat the thieves, we will be in danger when the Qingzhou thieves in the south realize that our troops there are just suspects."
Liu Yao, the king of Zhongshan next to him, frowned and said.
"Let's see this time!" Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong said with a serious face.
Everyone stopped talking and looked forward again.
Due to road restrictions, the Huns could only have more than a thousand cavalry at most in each charge.
The same was true for the Hun cavalry charge this time.
"kill!"
"Bang!"
As the Han soldiers roared, the Huns cavalry immediately ran into them.
The sharp edge of the spear and spear, supported by the speed of the horse, easily pierced the throat of the Han soldier.
The unabated Hulu cavalry immediately crashed into the Han army's array. The Han soldiers who were hit by the horses immediately screamed and fell on their backs.
The fearless charge of these Huns cavalry made Li Feng shocked and angry.
In his previous impression, these barbarians were bullies who were afraid of the strong. Once they encountered a strong counterattack by the Han army, they immediately fled in all directions.
However, after several charges today, these Hulu cavalry became more and more brave, which was far beyond Li Feng's expectation.
"kill!"
With the shouts of killing, the Huns cavalry who rushed into the Han army's array were immediately cut down by the Han army infantry who came up.
After losing their speed, these Hun cavalry had no advantage at all in the fierce battle with the infantry.
However, the killings of these cavalry when they charged into battle had already caused the Han army to suffer a large number of casualties.
"General, look!"
A general shouted in an anxious voice.
Li Feng followed the gesture and took a look.
It turned out that there was a gap in the Han army's array. Several Hulu cavalry there skillfully controlled their horses and moved flexibly left and right among the Han army's infantry, avoiding most of the swords and guns. Fight.
"quick,,,,"
Upon seeing this, Li Feng was about to shout to mobilize soldiers from other places to support him, but he suddenly heard bursts of killing cries, cutting off his words.
He turned around and looked south, only to see a large number of Hun soldiers gathered there.
After abandoning their horses and climbing over the mountains and forests on both sides on foot, these Xiongnu soldiers had already assembled in formation behind the Han army.
Now we are rushing towards these!
"Whoosh whoosh!"
One after another, the feathered arrows were smashed into the Han army's formation. Facing the Han army's subsequent counterattack, these Huns abandoned their bows and arrows, took out their spears, swords and other weapons and began to charge.
When Li Feng saw this, he knew that he had no troops left to dispatch.
Now the three thousand Han troops under his command were fighting on all sides, and the only remaining troops that could be deployed were the dozens of elite guards around Li Feng himself.
"Fuck you, come with me!"
Li Feng shouted angrily, threw away his bow and arrows, took out his long spear and headed towards the Hulu cavalry who rushed in from the north.
Although the Hulu infantry in the south had a numerical advantage, the Han infantry could still cope with it.
Once the Han army arrays in the north collapsed, the Hulu cavalry on the north road could drive straight in and completely defeat them.
"kill!"
Li Feng led the guards around him and rushed away with a roar.
His eyes glared, he clenched the long spear in his hand, and stabbed straight at the Hulu cavalry in front of him.
This Huru was wearing shiny black armor, and his mount was also covered with thick felt. After being slashed with an ordinary sword, it would not be enough to knock down this horse except for causing pain to the horse.
The Hun warrior, who originally wielded the spear in his hand and stabbed several Han infantrymen, seemed to sense some danger in his heart.
When the long spear in Li Feng's hand struck, he suddenly turned his horse. After a flexible dodge, Li Feng's thrust failed.
Upon seeing this, the Huns immediately fought back without hesitation, and the spear in his hand went straight to Li Feng's throat like a poisonous snake spitting a message.
However, Li Feng's reaction was faster than his reaction.
When Li Feng saw that his thrust was dodged, he did not retreat at all, and directly struck Hulu in the waist with a sweeping blow.
This sweeping blow did not kill Hulu, but it allowed him to avoid Hulu's thrust.
The personal guards behind Li Feng also rushed forward at this time, and two spears immediately thrust out at the same time, knocking this "brave" Huns off their horses.
Then the Han soldiers rushed up and chopped the Hun warrior into a pulp with their swords.
Li Feng's sudden arrival of dozens of elite soldiers immediately inspired the panicked Han soldiers.
"Kill Hulu!"
"His Majesty's reinforcements will arrive soon!"
"My sons, please guard me!"
Li Feng waved his long spear in his hand and shouted loudly to the surroundings.
The Han soldiers who were already a little numb began to burst into new fighting spirit after hearing "reinforcements".
At this time, the Huns infantry from the south had already charged up.
The Hun infantry and the Han infantry immediately fought together in a melee, while the Hulu cavalry in the north, after losing their horse speed, all retreated hastily backwards in the face of the fierce counterattack of the Han army that did not give in.
After seeing yet another charge and retreat, the Huns Emperor Liu Cong's face almost turned black.
If the terrain of this section of the road hadn't been narrow, Liu Cong, who was so angry, would have ordered the entire army to mount their horses and march forward in a crowded way.
"Your Majesty, General, please allow me to charge and kill again!"
The Hun cavalry general who had just led his army to retreat was brought to Emperor Liu Cong by several Hun guards.
"I have given you two chances!"
Liu Cong didn't even look at him, his eyes were still fixed on the Han infantry in front.
"Come here, this boy suffered two defeats and wasted the opportunity to fight. Behead him immediately!"
