Then, several wolf-like Hun warriors rushed forward and pushed the unlucky general to the ground, ignoring his pleas and cries. One of the warriors simply raised his sword and dropped it.
"Crack!"
After a soft sound, the head fell to the ground.
Immediately, a Hun warrior picked up the head, then got on his horse and held the head in one hand, loudly declaring Emperor Liu Cong's will to the surrounding Hun troops.
All the Huns generals beside Liu Cong had gloomy faces, and no one dared to say a word.
The slain general was a Qiang and Hu chief who was attached to massacre the Xiongnu. If he was killed or not, it would mean nothing to them.
However, the effect of this bloody head is more effective than any words.
When the horns sounded, a new round of Hun cavalry attacks began again.
This time, the Huns soldiers and horses on both sides of the north and south launched an attack together with trumpets and drums.
"These damn Hulu!"
Li Feng gasped for breath and glanced at the Hun cavalry who had completed their formation on the opposite side.
"General, why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet!?"
The guard next to him asked in a low voice with some despair.
After just a few rounds of fighting, these three thousand Han troops suffered a lot of losses, and none of the battle lines was intact.
"These Hulu forces coming from behind are so powerful. The main Hulu force south of Mang Mountain will definitely be more difficult to deal with. I'm afraid it won't be that easy for reinforcements."
Another soldier said with a wry smile.
After Li Feng heard this, the expression on his face was indifferent.
"No reinforcements, no reinforcements!"
"Don't let me lose your courage. These barbarians are no more than 10,000 people. If we kill them one more time, we won't believe that they won't lose their courage!"
Li Feng's words were impassioned, but the soldiers beside him were still a little courageous.
However, they soon couldn't care less about this feeling.
Because the Huns and Hulu armored cavalry charge began again.
The carts originally arranged by the Han army had been destroyed. This time facing the Huns cavalry, they could only resist with their own spears and bodies.
"Boom boom boom!"
Amidst the sound of hoofbeats, more than a thousand Xiongnu armored cavalry collided with the Han infantry.
The Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong looked at the battle not far away, feeling bursts of joy in his heart.
These Han infantry actually blocked several rounds of attacks by the elite Xiongnu army, although they may not be able to withstand this attack.
But these Qingzhou Han troops are still considered powerful enemies. Being able to defeat such enemies will naturally bring the greatest pleasure.
"Your Majesty, the traitors are already in decline, but the army is pressing forward!"
A general said to Liu Cong.
The Hun Emperor Liu Cong nodded slightly. He had already seen that the Hun cavalry had disrupted the Han army's array, and the Hun soldiers on the other side had also rushed forward to fight with the Han army.
Under such a two-sided attack, it was difficult for these Han infantry to support themselves even though they had three heads and six arms.
At this time, even if the Huns did not care about their formation, they could do anything.
Seeing that the Qingzhou Han army in front was tightly surrounded in the last narrow area, Liu Cong was already planning to annihilate them all in one go.
The Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong raised his arm and was about to order the entire army to rush forward when a Xiongnu guard next to him suddenly shouted.
"Your Majesty, look!"
Everyone followed the sound and looked in the direction of Mangshan Avenue to the south of the Han army.
As the words fell, everyone saw from a distance that a red flag appeared on the short slope to the south.
Immediately behind the red flag, a Han cavalry wearing black armor appeared.
Soon, the second Han cavalry also appeared in black clothes and black armor.
Then came the third and fourth. . . . . .
Almost in the blink of an eye, more than a thousand Han cavalry appeared behind the Huns infantry on the south side!
The Huns generals were shocked when they saw this scene.
"Your Majesty! The bandits' reinforcements are coming!"
At this time, in the south, the Huns infantry who gave up their horses and crossed the mountains and forests on both sides to attack from behind were in the midst of a fierce battle with the Han infantry, and were not aware of the changes that had just occurred.
Once these Han cavalry launch an attack from behind, most of the Huns infantry will completely become dead souls under the hooves of the horses.
"Your Majesty, ring gold!"
A Hun general said anxiously.
If Ming Jin withdraws his troops at this time, the Huns soldiers and horses on the south side can escape to the mountains and forests on both sides in advance.
In that case, the Han cavalry would not be able to get into the mountains and forests to pursue them.
Although they will suffer some losses, they can allow most of the Hun soldiers to escape.
However, the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong was livid.
He was very unwilling to accept that these three thousand mediocre Qingzhou infantry actually blocked several charges from his elite armored cavalry.
Seeing that these Qingzhou thieves were about to be wiped out, Han reinforcements suddenly came out.
If they retreat at this time, the three thousand Han infantry will definitely be in high morale. On the contrary, the Xiongnu troops will be at a disadvantage.
In this way, it will no longer be possible to strangle these Qingzhou thieves.
"Drumroll! March!"
The Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong gritted his teeth and said viciously.
"These three thousand thieves will never be destroyed. Today I swear not to return the army!"
The Xiongnu generals nearby immediately began to persuade each other.
But the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong was angry.
He drew his sword in his hand and yelled at everyone. Anyone who refused to advance would be killed without mercy!
Seeing this scene, everyone dared to get angry but dare not speak.
"rumble!"
Then the war drums sounded louder and louder from the Huns army.
"Are we going to defeat these Qingzhou thieves before the troops on the south side collapse?"
Gou Xi, the cavalry general next to him, couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous about the idea of the Huns Emperor Liu Cong.
He felt that this idea had no chance of success other than increasing casualties.
Sure enough, just as Gou Xi guessed, the rest of the Huns generals also thought so.
Although the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong ordered the entire army to attack, the Xiongnu generals were all dilly-dallying and had no intention of fighting to the death.
When the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong saw this, although he was angry and angry, he didn't have much to do.
These Xiongnu generals had complete control over their subordinates, and even the Xiongnu emperor could not easily shake their command.
"These mediocre people misled me!"
The Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong cursed angrily.
At this moment, the Han cavalry in the distance reorganized their array at a surprising speed and launched a charge towards the Huns infantry on the south side.
"Rumble!"
"kill!"
With the thunderous sound of horseshoes, thousands of Han cavalry rushed down from the hillsides on both sides and launched a fatal charge towards the back of the Huns infantry.
These Xiongnu infantrymen on the south side were originally cavalry. In order to cross the mountains and forests to attack the Han infantry, they did not carry long weapons at all, but only carried bows, arrows, swords and shields.
However, even if they carry weapons such as spears and spears, they have no chance to deploy defenses.
Because these Han cavalry came so fast, when the Huns infantry at the back discovered these Han cavalry that suddenly came out, they were all discouraged, and no one even thought about forming a formation to resist.
None of them knew how many Han reinforcements had arrived. If there were tens of thousands of reinforcements, then if they still dared to fight, they would be dead in the end!
"The Qingzhou thieves are here!"
"The thieves are coming!"
"Run!"
After the Hun infantry behind discovered the Han reinforcements, they immediately called on the surrounding Hun soldiers to flee towards the mountains and forests on both sides.
But the Huns soldiers who were fighting with the Han army were not aware of it at all.
By the time they heard the sound of horse hooves roaring behind them, it was already too late.
"Bang!"
"kill!"
Amidst the bursts of shouts of charging and killing, the Hun soldiers who had high morale collapsed in an instant.
Under the reversal of the situation, these Huns soldiers were all reduced to panic and bewildered lambs waiting to be slaughtered!
"Reinforcements!"
"Reinforcements are coming!"
The Han infantry who were still surrounded immediately let out excited shouts.
The Han infantry, which had been fighting fiercely, suddenly burst out with astonishing high-spirited fighting spirit, and the Xiongnu soldiers and horses fighting against them were immediately unable to parry.
"Your Majesty, the thieves can't be defeated!"
"Retreat for now!"
Liu Yao, the King of Zhongshan, came to the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong and whispered.
Although the Han troops on the opposite side were still at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, the morale of the Xiongnu soldiers and horses had already suffered a huge setback.
Especially the Huns infantry who circled back on the south side had completely collapsed. Thousands of them all rushed to escape to the mountains and forests on both sides.
"The thieves infantry are so strong, it's beyond my expectation!"
The Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong sighed.
He then turned his head and looked to both sides, and saw that the Huns generals were still pretending to rectify their troops, but in fact they did not want to continue the attack at all.
After all, almost all of the Huns fighting at this time were subordinates directly led by Emperor Liu Cong.
How could they be willing to sacrifice their own people to support them?
"The cunning and cunning people in these nations deserve to be killed!"
Liu Cong thought resentfully.
In the end, the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong had to order to stop the attack and instead responded to the Xiongnu soldiers and horses who had escaped from the mountains on both sides.
After seeing the Xiongnu troops retreating, all the Han troops on the opposite side cheered like victory!
Taking advantage of these gaps, Li Feng immediately ordered the defenses to be re-erected to prevent the Huns from coming back.
The two sides had another meaningless confrontation.
After several exchanges of bows and arrows, all the fleeing Huns soldiers and horses returned.
The Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong knew that although the Qingzhou Han army on the opposite side was small in number, they did not have much chance.
Then, when it was just past noon, the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong led his cavalry to retreat back.
=·=·=·=·=·=·=
When Liu Yu learned that the Xiongnu soldiers and horses in the north of Mang Mountain had retreated, the Xiongnu soldiers and horses opposite him were still in a prepared formation.
"These barbarians are indeed here as suspected soldiers. It turns out they want to cut off our army's retreat!"
After Liu Yu finished speaking, he waved his hand like the soldier next to him.
"Send the order, beat the drums and march!"
"Since these Hulu refuse to come over, then we will go over!"
He has been fighting these tens of thousands of Huns for a long time, but he still has no intention of attacking.
Sure enough, it was just as Liu Yu guessed.
When the Han army wanted to take the initiative to attack, the Huns acted as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and they all assumed defensive postures.
Facing these Xiongnu soldiers and horses, although the Han army was at a numerical disadvantage, they all fought bravely to take the lead. No one was afraid of the numerically superior Huns.
After seeing the Qingzhou Han army on the opposite side putting on a massive offensive posture, Jin Zhun, the general of the Xiongnu Han Kingdom, immediately said to Liu Can, the Xiongnu chief danyu next to him.
"Chanyu, withdraw your troops. The Qingzhou bandits are hard to stop. Even if we win, we will probably suffer heavy casualties!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Can, the Great Chan of the Huns, immediately showed a very reluctant expression.
"There are only less than 20,000 bandit soldiers in Qingzhou. Even if there are three fighting one, how can I still be afraid of them!?"
After hearing the words of Liu Can, the Great Chan of the Huns, the rear general Jin Zhun secretly cursed in his heart.
The Qingzhou thieves on the opposite side are all elite soldiers. Many Qiang and Hu soldiers in their own army have no equipment at all except a fur coat. I am afraid that one Han army can defeat three Huns.
"Chanyu, the Qingzhou thieves are so rampant, they must have support. Our infantry can't stand hard fighting, so I'm afraid they won't be their opponents!"
"In this case, it is better for Shan Yu to withdraw his infantry, and after retreating through the Qilijian, defend against the river, so that the Qingzhou thieves will not dare to move lightly."
Ever since yesterday's 'Sky Thunder', the Qiang and Hu barbarian infantry have become panic-stricken.
They could just stand here and pretend to be suspicious soldiers, or wait until the overall situation was decided and they could chase the defeated soldiers and loot.
But he couldn't fight hard with Ben.
After hearing this, Liu Can, the Great Dan of the Huns, pretended to think about it.
After all, the order left by the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong to him was to hold back the main force of these Qingzhou bandits so that they could not rush to the north to help.
Now Liu Can has deployed his troops and horses. It can be said that he has delayed the Qingzhou bandits on the opposite side, and he has completed the task assigned by his father.
As for the actual battle between Qingzhou bandits and soldiers, Liu Can actually didn't want to do it.
"In that case, order the infantry to retreat across the river!"
"Come here, pass this Shanyu's military order, and the cavalry on the left and right will follow to protect the rear!"
Since we are going to retreat, we must of course take cover.
Otherwise, if the Qingzhou bandits launch an attack, their retreat may turn into a rout.
When these Hun infantry retreated, the Hun cavalry on both sides all acted as if they were facing a powerful enemy.
These Huns cavalry are mainly light cavalry and are not good at rushing into formations and fighting fiercely.
However, because of their cover, when these Xiongnu infantry retreated, the Qingzhou Han army did not dare to attack easily.
However, when most of the Xiongnu infantry had just crossed Qilijian, Liu Can, the Xiongnu chief danyu, heard news that shocked him.
"Da Chanyu, what's wrong, the Jin captives from Luoyang are coming out in force and are heading here to kill us!"
