The sky gradually darkened, and thick clouds covered the sky in a short time, but the wind blowing from the grassland did not feel moist. It was not raining, it was just a cloudy day.
But the dark sky made the war horses a little anxious, and they kept pacing in place. The Huns attacked in different directions. The war horses roared past with a shocking sound of treading on the ground. The Huns on the horses roared loudly. Drinking it put great mental pressure on the Han army.
King Zuo Xian shouted loudly and said: "You sons of Daxia, kill the Han people. I will personally go to Shan Yu to ask for rewards for you. I will reward you with the most fertile pastures, cattle and sheep, and the most beautiful women. "
The Huns howled.
Horse hooves resounded across the entire grassland, and the flying arrows continued to harvest the lives of soldiers on both sides. Those wearing armor were okay, ordinary arrows could not break through the defense, but those without armor were seriously injured. .
The army led by Ru Yinhou has become completely alone, and the food route has naturally been cut off. Now it can only fight while breaking through.
In such a desperate situation, the morale of the army must be ensured first, and Marquis Ruyin was also encouraging loudly.
"Hold on, the general will definitely lead his troops to help!
As long as the general arrives, we can all survive.
Thinking about the families still in the country, only a bloody battle with the Huns would be the highest honor. "
Then there was the sound of drums. Stimulated by the drums, the Han army skillfully used various weapons to prevent the Huns from attacking.
King Zuo Xian led the army to fight with Marquis Ruyin. Countless blood clots and limbs shot up into the sky, and the sound of tragic wails gradually subsided after a while. There was also bright red blood flying everywhere, and the soldiers on both sides looked like They were like weeds in the fields, being cut off one after another and falling to the ground one by one.
This is completely a competition of willpower, it depends on who can't hold on first.
The Han army does not have an advantage at this point, because the Huns are the attacking party and can constantly rotate, and the psychological pressure is much less. However, the Han army can always see the body of Pao Ze who died in the battle. , Fortunately this was not an encounter, otherwise both sides would have collapsed long ago.
The battle between the two sides was in full swing. Suddenly a strong wind blew up, kicking up the dust on the ground. On the already dark grassland, it was hard to even open your eyes. What was even more frightening was that this wind was heading straight towards the Han army. The wind was blowing from a different direction, and this scene immediately caused the Han army's formation to become chaotic. King Zuo Xian, who had his back to the strong wind, was overjoyed when he saw this and immediately sent people to charge.
Marquis Ruyin felt that his liver and gallbladder were about to burst, and he suddenly vomited out a mouthful of blood under the stagnation of his heart. He couldn't help shouting: "Does this mean that God wants to kill me? He led his troops out of the fortress but was defeated and died. He failed the emperor's favor and saw his grandfather. How should I explain it?"
Although he was desperate, he still tried his best to control the elites around him. These elites included the forbidden army and the private army of the Ruyin Kingdom. They were all first-class warriors wearing armor. So far, the casualties of the warriors have not increased. Not too big.
Because the noise from the two warring parties was too loud, no one noticed that a huge army was coming from behind the two armies. Qilian Shanyu and his men originally wanted to form an encirclement from the rear of Ruyin Marquis and King Zuoxian's troops. As a result, in the face of this sudden wind and sand, the army had to stop and rectify.
Qilian Shanyu knew that the more people there were, the more likely it would be chaos, so he sent people with some of the most elite cavalry to the battlefield, while he stayed here to wait for the wind and sand to disperse before setting off.
There is nothing wrong with his idea, but nothing in this world is perfect!
The so-called general's game is to bet again and again to see what level the opponent is on. Those famous surprise attacks in history were all bets at the top, and then won and achieved extremely high results.
Facing the sudden strong wind and sand, Zhou Yafu, who came from behind King Zuo Xian's tribe, was overjoyed and even laughed wildly and said: "King Su is above, God bless you!
Order the entire army to discard all their baggage and carry three days of dry food. "
Upon hearing this, the deputy general immediately said anxiously: "General, in order to speed up, we have abandoned a lot of baggage, and now we have to throw away all the baggage. If there is a change, I am afraid that the whole army will be annihilated. Please think twice."
Zhou Yafu heard this and shouted directly: "Execute the order!
Everyone abandons their baggage and carries three days of dry food. The infantry marches with all their strength. The cavalry and chariot soldiers all wear armor. They charge with the general. The victory or defeat is now! "
Zhou Yafu is really too decisive. You must know that although the strong wind and sand are blowing from behind, the visibility is also very low. At most, there is no need to fight against the wind. Being able to open your eyes is also detrimental to combat, but Zhou Yafu knows that although No one can be seen, but the Xiongnu Chanyu must be on the opposite side, and there is a high probability that he will stop and reorganize, because the Xiongnu Chanyu is an excellent general and will not risk the elites of the Xiongnu royal court, and the Xiongnu Chanyu will never think of the Han The army dared to throw away a lot of baggage just to increase the marching speed. They never expected that the Han army could come so fast, so this gap was the only fleeting opportunity!
Hesitating at the most critical moment will never make you an excellent general!
If they can't seize this opportunity, the Han army will prepare to escape from the grassland. If they can seize the opportunity and severely damage King Zuo Xian's troops, they can still maintain a stalemate. Even if they return to Chang'an City, they can explain to the emperor.
"Boom!"
Naturally, a chariot cannot outrun a war horse on the grassland. Zhou Yafu himself is also used for defense, but it is different now!
In such weather, chariots are a big weapon. When King Zuo Xian heard the sound of horse hoofbeats and the roar of chariots from behind, he instantly felt like he was dying. The Huns did not have chariots, so the people behind him must be Han people. army.
He never expected that just now he was grateful for the strong wind, but the next moment he would be the one being made dumplings. He was a little unbelievable and murmured: "How could the Han army come faster than Shan Yu?"
But it's too late to say anything now. The horses and chariots are so fast. Information about ancient wars is not always smooth. Coupled with the weather, the battle is basically based on feeling.
Although the Han army's cavalry and shooting skills are not as good as those of the Huns, in the battle, there is no need to be accurate at all. The dense rain of arrows can always hit people, and with the help of strong winds, the arrows fly further and save effort. No matter how good their skills were, they would not be enough in the face of the strong wind. Those without armor fell off their horses in an instant. Even those wearing armor, many horses were injured.
When the Han army approached and the Huns were finally able to hurt, they saw the Han army scattering to the left and right, and then saw chariots rushing past. In an instant, many people were crushed into pulp, covered with bright red blood and crushed flesh. The powdered meat was mixed together and spread on the grassland, mixed with weeds, and the juices flowing out from various organs of the body were all mixed together, blown up by the strong wind, and landed on the bodies of many people , and then there were countless sounds of retching.
The two sides fought fiercely for a while, and the infantry of the Han army finally caught up. Suddenly there were more arrows on the battlefield. The infantry was divided into small formations. Because of the current weather, it was impossible to conduct large-scale command. Fight into chunks.
King Zuo Xian knew something was wrong, so he could only flee with his most elite soldiers. When Zhou Yafu came from the infantry, he knew that this battle must be won, and couldn't help laughing.
Wei Qing was recruited into the army when Zhou Yafu left the fortress. Because of his good riding skills, he became a member of the cavalry. Although he was a slave before, he was naturally smart. Following Zhou Yafu along the way, he saw many things with his own eyes. Things, especially Zhou Yafu's decisive action of abandoning the baggage and attacking the Huns, made his blood boil.
He was born to be brave. He slashed left and right with a broadsword and killed many Huns. Then he vaguely saw a group of more expensively dressed Huns trying to leave. At first glance, they were the nobles of the Huns, and at this time there was a strong wind. Gradually it began to stop, and the vision became much brighter than before.
Wei Qing's eyes were full of blazing light. He knew that this was the hope for him to stand up. He took a deep breath, reached out and took out the strong bow, rode his horse, passed through the crowd, and directly drew the bow with arrows. With a "swish" sound, the arrow was fired. The arrow flew out, and the arrow completely stretched the bowstring. Even Wei Qing felt a little sore in his arm. He stared at the arrow closely, and then saw that the arrow avoided the armor and penetrated into the neck and body armor. in the gap!
This is the disadvantage of not wearing full body armor!
King Zuo Xian did not expect that his deputy king would be shot to death right next to him, and he hurriedly galloped away. Wei Qing galloped forward and took the deputy king's body in his hands. Little did he know that this scene happened to be enough for him to put his mind at ease. When Zhou Yafu saw it, he said, "What a brave man. He should be a deputy king. Call that brave man and ask for his name. I, the general, will write down a military merit for him!"
As the dust completely dissipated, Marquis Ruyin led the remaining soldiers to meet Zhou Yafu. He rushed up and said with tears in his eyes: "General, I, I, I..."
Zhou Yafu comforted him: "It's good to be alive! It's good to be alive!"
If Marquis Ruyin really died here, Zhou Yafu would not know how to face his relatives when he returned home. After a few words of comfort, Wei Qing had already stepped forward, "Wei Qing, a commoner, has met the general."
When Zhou Yafu saw Wei Qing, who was tall and burly and full of energy, he couldn't help but admired him: "What a warrior. I will record your military achievements for you. I killed the deputy king of the Xiongnu Zuoxian with my own hands. This is a great achievement." !”
Wei Qing was delighted when he heard this and said, "Thank you, General Qing."
After chatting for a while, Zhou Yafu looked at the place where the smoke and dust rose with a serious expression. He knew that it must be the Xiongnu Chanyu. He waved his sword and said loudly: "My sons, the Huns have just suffered a defeat, and now the Xiongnu Chanyu is here." It’s coming, let’s defeat him again and let him know how powerful the big man is!”
