Zhanmutie, Attila and others, who were observing the movements of Zhou Yi's army from far behind, discovered that Zhou Yi had only sent 40,000 infantry to meet his 40,000 cavalry.
Since ancient times, cavalry has defeated infantry. This is the inertia that Zhan Mutie has always had.
"This General Tiance of the Chen State is too trusting and directly pulls out 40,000 infantrymen to die!"
Just when Zhanmu Tie laughed loudly and said this, the young general Attila saw that the circular formation at the front split in three directions, and groups of infantry rushed out.
The distance was far, so Attila and the others couldn't see clearly what weapons the infantrymen who fought in the circular formation were holding.
But this scene made Zhanmu Tie start to get carried away.
"Hahahaha, although the warriors in front of our three cavalry suffered a lot from the attack of Chen Guo's arrows, the advantage still lies with me!"
"Let's see how our Changshengtian warriors can kill Chen's army without leaving any trace behind!"
But what they didn't expect was that the Chen soldiers who had just come out of the battle started trotting towards their Changshengtian cavalry warriors and launched a countercharge!
See you soon, see you soon! The Hun generals who were with Zhan Mutie secretly sighed at the stupidity of the Chen people.
But Attila's heart palpitations became more serious after seeing this.
Just when Zhan Mutie and the others were focusing all their attention on the Wuwei Wei Modao Army who was charging back against the Huns' cavalry, Zhou Yi immediately issued another military order: "Wang Ting, Guo Laosi, listen to the order, I order you to The two of them each led three thousand cavalry to attack the Hun cavalry from the left and right sides and coordinate Mo Dao's soldiers."
The two men immediately took the order and rushed forward, leading 3,000 men and horses to attack them quickly.
After Wang Ting and Guo Laosi led the troops to attack, Zhou Yi only had 20,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry left to dispatch, but Zhou Yi did not dare to use these soldiers and horses easily.
Although the scouts found out that the Huns in front of them only had 50,000 cavalry, they had now invested 40,000 into the battlefield, and there were 10,000 elite Huns troops waiting in the distance for their side to reveal a flaw.
But these are only visible on the surface.
Whenever a warrior relies on a perfect combination and a surprise victory, Zhou Yi is afraid that there are still unseen Huns cavalry lying in ambush in the dark.
If Zhou Yi simply thought that what was in front of him was all the fighting power of the Xiongnu, and directly threw all his soldiers into the battlefield, if another surprise force of the Xiongnu appeared, then no matter how well-trained Zhou Yi's team was, without the blessing of the formation, The disorganized team was eventually left to the mercy of others.
Zhou Yi secretly sighed in his heart: "I'm still too young. I actually exposed the whole team to the enemy. I should have left a team of people hidden in the dark as a surprise force to coordinate!"
He thought too much, and all he thought about were good things, but what Zhou Yi didn't know was that this time his army and Zhan Mutie's army collided completely accidentally, and the two of them played their cards right in this encounter.
The more than 3,000 cavalry led by Wang Erniu and Zhao Xiaomao in the circular formation, after adjusting their formation, joined together to form a cone formation and rushed towards the 10,000 Huns cavalry in front.
The rear of the circular formation was also opened, allowing the people of Zitong County to continue to retreat to Zhou Yi's rear army.
After the people fled the battlefield, the circular formation immediately transformed into three conical formations and charged towards each other's front.
The scene of cavalry crushing infantry that Zhanmu Tie originally thought did not appear. Instead, Zhanmu Tie saw from a distance that his Hun cavalry encountered the Wuwei Weimo swordsmen and were chopped down to the ground along with their horses.
Mo Dao, a double-edged sword, is one foot long for an ordinary soldier and weighs ten to fifteen kilograms.
The Mo Dao of young generals like Wang Erniu, Zhao Xiaomao, Guo Laosi, and Wang Ting is heavier. Although they are not like Wang Dachui who can pick up a sixty or seventy kilogram weapon at will, the weapon still weighs twenty or thirty kilograms.
The Mo Dao in the hands of the soldiers was originally a horse-cutting sword. Although it was not as long as the Liuhe Spear, it was equally effective against the Hun cavalry.
These Mo Dao soldiers were surrounded by the corpses of Hun cavalry and horses that had been shot before. This gave them an acquired geographical advantage in the originally flat plain. Hun horses could easily trip over these horse corpses when they arrived nearby. .
In addition, Zhou Yi sent two more teams of cavalry to deal with these Mo Dao soldiers. After the two sides clashed, it was the Huns who showed signs of decline.
According to the past situation, the 30,000 cavalry could have beaten the 40,000 infantry, but now in the fight, their Huns side was in decline.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. How can there be infantry in this world that can carry cavalry!" Zhanmu Tie, who was observing the movements of the entire army from a distance, looked at the soldiers from both sides who were already fighting in a group in disbelief.
Zhou Yi also saw that the current overall situation was relatively favorable to his side. The longer the delay, the greater his side's advantage, but he just didn't know if the Huns still had any surprise troops.
Zhou Yi, who always put stability first, thought for a long time and finally decided to send a team of troops to attack the remaining 10,000 cavalrymen occupying Mutie in the distance.
This team is not only the awl of the offense, but also the bait that draws out the opponent's backhand.
"Qian Xiaohao listens to the order, I order you to lead the 5,000 cavalry to bypass the three groups in front and attack the 10,000 troops of the Xiongnu general Zhan Mutie!"
"If it escapes, do not pursue it and directly attack the enemy on the front battlefield."
Although there were only 5,000 soldiers and horses against the opponent's 10,000 soldiers and horses, and there was no lead from the rear, Qian Xiaohao was not afraid at all, and even had some expectations in his heart, expecting that he could kill the enemy seven times like the victorious general Zhao Zilong. Seven out.
Zhou Yi knew that the risk of taking the initiative was extremely high, but he also wanted to force out Zhan Mu Tie's surprise troops as soon as possible.
"General, let's retreat first! This time our advantage is no longer available and we can't fight for a long time!" Attila suggested anxiously.
Looking at the anxious battle situation in front of him, Zhan Mutie was still hesitant.
At this time, Attila saw another 5,000 cavalry separated from Zhou Yi's rear camp, bypassing the battlefield on the right and heading towards the 10,000 elite troops led by Zhan Mutie.
Attila, who had good eyesight, pointed at the cavalry that had just separated from the rear formation, and warned eagerly: "General, look, Chen Guo has separated another group of cavalry and is rushing towards us."
At this time, Zhan Mutie no longer hesitated, and immediately gritted his teeth and uttered two words: "Withdraw troops!"
The next second, a long horn sounded across the plain.
Unlike those in the Central Plains who retreated with gold, the Xiongnu retreated with the sound of trumpets.
After hearing the order to retreat, the Huns soldiers who were originally fighting with the Wuwei Guards quickly turned around and fled the battlefield full of death threats.
