While everyone was immersed in the wine of Jiuquan, the Huns soldier who led the way came to Zhou Yi, pointed to the mountain range in the distance and said: "Dear Lord Tian Khan, the Qilian Mountains are ahead of us."
"Crossing the Qilian Mountains, another fifty miles away is the royal court of the Xiongnu. There are not only the relatives and family members of Wuwan Chanyu, but also a large number of cattle, sheep and horses."
After Zhou Yi heard this, he immediately became energetic. Immediately ordered: "The whole army is preparing troops, horses and baggage, and setting off immediately for the Qilian Mountains."
The hundreds of thousands of soldiers who had drunk alcohol were all flushed and energetic, and they wished they could rush into the Huns' royal court and clean their holes right now.
Different from Zhou Yi's unimpeded and invincible side, Linzhen's Far Eastern Front has suffered successive defeats since Deng Tong lost nearly 10,000 troops.
It was also through these defeats in several battles that Lin Zhenyuan discovered that the number of Xiongnu troops was at least 300,000.
Facing an enemy that was several times his own, Lin Zhenyuan immediately reduced his troops and allowed the troops stationed outside to quickly gather in the main army.
Also when the army was gathering, An Pinbai and Lin Zhenyuan had several confrontations with the Xiongnu. In these confrontations, because the Xiongnu had the home field advantage and were familiar with the environment and geography, neither An Pinbai nor Lin Zhenyuan asked for it. Cheap.
Although the subsequent defeats did not result in many losses, the blow to the morale of the Wuwei Guards was huge.
In addition, the coach Zhou Yi has not shown up for a long time. If this continues, I am afraid that the morale of the Eastern Front troops will collapse.
Now Lin Zhenyuan and An Pinbo's troops are in urgent need of a victory to stabilize their military morale.
Lin Zhenyuan originally wanted to rendezvous with An Pinbai and the other two men and then return the large army to Yuyang, and then redeploy the tactics and strategies in a steady and steady manner, but he did not want to have already fallen into the trap of Karasuma Shanyu when they met to listen to Attila. With the advice of Su Shigan and others, the Weiwei Guards set up an encirclement.
Nowadays, Lin Zhenyuan only has more than 130,000 powerful guards in his hands, but Wuwan Chanyu still has more than 440,000 troops.
If they now have a city to defend, there will be no problem. Lin Zhenyuan and others can rely on the city wall to turn this war into a tower defense battle.
But they are indeed on the vast grassland now, and all they have now is the Wugang vehicle as cover.
Wuwan Shanyu, who surrounded Lin Zhenyuan and others, did not rush to attack, but sent a message to mock the "Book of Changes".
The letter read: "I'm afraid Chen Guo's general Tiance is still not good enough. As I said before, I can go where the bandits can go, but now it seems you can't even reach the hinterland of my Xiongnu grassland!"
Lin Zhenyuan, An Pinbai, Wu Laoliu and others were very angry when they saw such letters insulting Zhou Yi.
Both Wu Laoliu and An Pinbai took the initiative to ask for a fight, hoping to kill the majestic Xiongnu Karasuma Shanyu.
Lin Zhenyuan was silent for a while, then narrowed his eyes and said, "It's time to activate them!"
"Tomorrow, open the Wugang chariot formation on the southern side and send them out to fight to kill the Xiongnu with their majesty!"
As soon as Wu Laoliu and An Pinbai heard this, they understood what Lin Zhenyuan was talking about. They immediately responded and went down to deliver the order.
On the morning of the next day, more than 5,000 Huotou soldiers wearing black armor, each riding a hybrid of a Mongolian horse and a sweat horse, came out from the south side.
Karasuma Chanyu saw that "Zhou Yi" only sent five thousand cavalry to fight. In order to show off his force, Karasuma Chanyu immediately sent his five thousand iron pagodas to attack.
Lin Zhenyuan and the others had known for a long time that there was an Iron Buddha in the Xiongnu army, so they had already ordered the Huotou Army led by Deng Ponu not to attack the Iron Buddha head-on if they encountered the Iron Buddha.
When Deng Ponu saw that the enemy had indeed sent out the Iron Buddha Cavalry, he immediately ordered his Huotou Army to adjust its direction and charge toward the southwest.
Although the Xiongnu's Tiefutu army used the sweat-blooded horses of the Dawan Kingdom, they were equipped with armor for their men and horses. However, the Xiongnu's smelting technology was far inferior to that of the Chen Kingdom, and their armor was extremely heavy.
Therefore, the speed of the Xiongnu Iron Buddha, even if they are sweaty horses, is still not as fast as the speed of the mighty Guards Firehead Army.
The leader of the Xiongnu Iron Buddha Temple was Attila, who had previously given many constructive suggestions to Karasuma Chanyu.
Attila saw that his iron pagoda could not catch up with the Huotou army led by Deng Ponu, so he turned his attention to the southern position that did not block the Wugang chariot.
Attila was determined to lead his five thousand iron pagodas to penetrate Chen's camp.
The Tiefu Tu moved in like huge mountains. Despite the strong pressure, the mighty guards remained calm and composed under the leadership of Lin Zhenyuan.
Just when Iron Buddha Tu was only a thousand steps away from the Weiwei camp, Attila saw that the Chen army still did not close the Wugang chariot, but instead carried out hundreds of strange-shaped instruments.
When the Iron Buddha cavalry was only 500 steps away from Wuwei Guards, Attila saw the opponent's soldier hitting the instrument with a hammer.
The next second, the "arrow" as thick as an arm shot out like thunder.
Attila noticed that a warrior beside him was directly pierced by an arrow as thick as an arm and shot away. The strong inertia also pierced several cavalry behind him.
Attila was extremely stunned and wanted to wonder what was falling to the ground just after flying out. The next second, an equally thick flying arrow penetrated his mount from beginning to end.
Attila, who was covered in armor, fell directly to the ground and was knocked unconscious.
This version of the Eight-Niu Crossbow is much improved compared to the Eight-Niu Crossbow that Zhouyi asked Gongsun Zhu to verify before. The Eight-Niu Crossbow that uses pulleys to load arrows has become more labor-saving and faster.
The Eight Ox Crossbow, which originally required multiple people to load and winch, now only requires two people to load it quickly.
The speed of the eight-niu crossbow is very fast, which is not weaker than that of the crossbow. Although the density of the eight-niu crossbow is not as high as the arrow rain of the crossbow, every time it hits the target, it is not as simple as just hitting one person.
After several rounds of eight-oxen crossbow fire, the Xiongnu's iron pagoda was shot to pieces without any formation at all. He couldn't even rush to the front of the Wuwei guard formation. At this time, Lin Zhenyuan only needed to shoot out in front of the Mo Dao soldiers. If you cut off the horse's legs, the remaining iron pagoda will not pose any threat.
Karasuma Shanyu, who was watching this scene from a distance, was very surprised. He originally thought that his iron pagoda could easily penetrate the opponent, but he never thought that his iron pagoda would be easily killed by the mighty guards of the 'Book of Changes'!
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"How could my Iron Buddha be defeated so easily!"
"I must be dreaming! Dreaming!"
Karasuma Chanyu couldn't believe this kind of battle situation, and he didn't want to believe it.
But something he was even more reluctant to believe was happening quietly in the southwest.
