Chapter 90: Defeat the Huns (IV)

It didn't matter if he praised it. Gongsun He and the others were so surprised that they almost smashed their chin on the horse's back.

However, what surprised them even more was still behind. Cheng Buzhi praising him: "The Grand Marshal is really a scheming! When fighting here, we don't need a crossbow formation or a halberd formation. Even with swords, we can knock the Huns to the ground!"

The Huns were cavalry, and the Han army was infantry, with disproportionate strength. Not to mention, in plains, fighting with the Huns’ cavalry, can the Han sword be used to overturn the Huns to the ground?

If this was not said by Cheng Bushi's mouth, Gongsun He and the others would have thought that it was crazy words, and only a madman could say such words.

Zhou Yang saw their confusion in his eyes and explained it with intention, but it was too late. The Huns began to attack. The Huns' attack well interpreted Zhou Yang and Cheng Bushi's words.

Junchen Shanyu waved the scimitar in his hand at the Han army and shouted: "Utra!"

“Utra!”

The Huns burst out with a shocking roar, waved their scimitars, and rushed towards the Han army like high tides.

The Huns did not use bows and arrows, but were directly preparing to cut and kill. Because their distance was not enough, the Han army was too tight, and the two armies were less than one mile apart. The Huns had no room to use their archery skills, so they could only cut and kill.

In contrast to the Huns, the Han army was a crossbow formation, with bows and arrows used together, and countless arrows were covered with arrows and arrows, like a net of heaven and earth, covering the Huns.

The Huns were densely packed, as dense as hemp stalks, and they were the best targets. The power of the crossbow formation finally reached its peak. A crossbow arrow often penetrated several Huns, which was much more lethal than the daytime battle.

The Huns' human sea tactics finally played a role. Although the crossbows were dense, they could not be killed. Many Huns rushed forward, and the Han army's bows and arrows were shot and killed. The infantry swung their long spears and stabbed them hard. Only then did they be solved.

The crossbow formation was divided into three parts, without concentration, and there was a halberd formation between each part. The Xiongnu who were shot by the crossbow formation rushed to the front of the halberd formation, and the Han army pointed in front of thousands of halberds and stabbed them to death on the ground.

At this time, the Huns were moving forward and no one retreated. They knew that they were rushing forward to death, but they still rushed forward. Before they died, they were still slashing and killing, which caused considerable trouble for the Han army, and many Han army suffered casualties.

The Huns' fighting spirit soared into the sky and worked hard to kill, but they lost another advantage, that is, the impact of the cavalry.

The impact of the cavalry is quite amazing, which is one of the greatest advantages of the cavalry. However, to make this advantage available, it requires a long enough distance and the cavalry charge at high speed. The two armies are less than one mile away, and the cavalry arrives in a blink of an eye. Wherever there is enough cavalry charge, it is not even enough to accelerate, and the Huns' charge advantage cannot be utilized at all.

It was precisely because of insufficient time that the Huns could not shoot arrows and could only prepare for melee battles.

If the Huns could use their advantage in charge, coupled with their desperate attack, it would definitely cost the Han army surprisingly. Unfortunately, their advantages could not be used, and their archery skills would not be useful, and their power would be greatly reduced.

Gongsun He and the others finally understood why Zhou Yang wanted to let the Huns gather and reorganize the formation. The original idea was to make it.

I have to say that Zhou Yang is really good at calculating and expects the enemy to be the first. Doing so will completely suppress the advantage of the Huns, and the Huns have to fight desperately.

If they don’t fight desperately, they have already fallen into the siege of the Han army. If they don’t fight, they have to fight.

If you want to break through the Han army's siege, you either break through the Han army's formation or destroy your own village. To destroy the village, you have to fill the trenches. What should you use to fill the trenches in the Han army's siege? Should you use the bodies of the Huns?

This is obviously impossible, so I can only choose to break through the Han army's formation and defeat the Han army.

Zhou Yang was very good at calculating and commanding the Han army to suppress it very tightly, leaving little room for the Huns. The Huns were very dense. Once they charged forward, people were caught between people and horses, and they would collide from time to time. Often, before they could rush to the Han army formation, many people became the souls of the Huns.

The denser the Huns are, the more conducive it is to play the crossbow formation. Any crossbow arrow will shoot several Huns to death, and the casualties of Huns are increasing with an astonishing momentum.

Not long after, the corpses on the ground were stacked layer by layer, layer by layer, and I don’t know how many of them were. The Huns rushed over on horseback, and they would occasionally rush and fall off their horses.

Under the stimulation of the blood oath, despite the high casualties, the Huns were still charging forward and moving forward one after another. The one in front fell down and the one behind rushed forward. No one hesitated, no one retreated, and only moving forward!

The disadvantage of the human sea tactic is that it is too dense and easy to shoot and kill the crossbow formation, which is expensive.

However, the advantages are also obvious, that is, they cannot kill one, rush up one pair, kill one pair, and rush up four. The Han army started to kill mentally, but the more they killed, the more they killed, the more they killed, the more they killed, the more they killed, and the arms were sore that they could only do mechanical movements. The halberd in their hands was stabbed out, retracted, and then pulled out...

There were many Huns rushing up, and they were struggling desperately. Even if they died, they would still hold the Han army back, and the casualties of the Han army were also increasing astonishingly.

Where the two armies fought hand in hand, the corpses increased rapidly, piled up higher and higher, and finally piled up into hills. However, the two armies were still fighting on the corpses.

Zhou Yang was on the war horse, watching the two armies fighting, biting his lips tightly, and his face was solemn. His plan was very accurate, but the counterattack of the Huns was also fierce enough.

The biggest advantage of doing this is that it can prevent the Huns from escaping and can kill and injure the Huns in a large number of times in a short period of time.

The Huns had four legs and two legs. Even if the Huns were dispersed, the Han army would not be able to catch up. If the Huns were allowed to concentrate, it would be the current massacre situation.

However, the Han army suffered great casualties. Although it was not as great as the Huns, it was also amazing. It was the time when the Han army suffered the highest casualties since Zhou Yang led the army. There was always gain and loss, and no one could do anything about it.

In the sunset, there were a few strange small lakes appearing, bright and dazzling. This was a blood lake formed by blood that had not been enough to immerse itself in the soil.

Junchen Shanyu was not surprised by this result. If, under the circumstances, he would have the opportunity to reorganize the situation. Although he knew that the Huns were too concentrated would have serious consequences, he had no choice but to do so.

At this moment, the Huns had no way out, and the Han army had no way out, they had no way out, they had no way out! They had no choice but to fight!

If the Huns win, all crises will be eliminated, all efforts of the Han army will be in vain, and the victory achieved before will become meaningless.

If the Han army wins, the Huns will be doomed and may be wiped out.

Judging from the current situation, no matter which side wins, the price will be very high, but it's worth it!

The Huns charged desperately and the Han army killed fiercely. In the history of the Han-Hungary War, the largest and most tragic bloody battle continued like this.

"rumble!"

Like the sound of thunderous hooves, a Han army was galloping north.

Although this Han army rode war horses, it was not cavalry, but infantry, because their riding skills were stiff and not proficient enough.

This is the Han army sent by Zhou Yang to occupy the Great Wall.

The dried meat of the Huns was burned, no matter how much it was burned, it didn't matter. What was important was that it could seize the morale of the Huns and attack the morale of the Huns. This was enough. As long as the Han army arrived in time, it would definitely defeat the Huns. The Huns retreated and fled northward. The Great Wall was the only way to go. Only by occupying the Great Wall could the Huns cut off the retreat.

This matter must be arranged in advance, and Zhou Yang assigned this important task to Li Guang.

Participating in the decisive battle against the Huns is certainly aspiring to do so. However, it is equally important to cut off the Huns' retreat. Li Guang agreed without saying a word and led the Han army to set off.

Zhou Yang expected that once the Han army was suppressed, the Huns would be unable to support it and they would be defeated. In order not to completely annihilate the Han army, the military minister Shanyu would definitely send people to occupy the Great Wall and protect this only way to escape. Therefore, if the Han army wants to occupy the Great Wall, it must be fast and must seize the Great Wall before the Huns arrive.

To get the Han army to reach the Great Wall quickly, they had to ride on war horses, not on their legs. There were many war horses in the Han army, mainly for crossbow formations, and they were allocated to Li Guang to use them, so that this infantry riding war horses could be found.

Li Guang looked north and saw the Great Wall under the setting sun, like a red dragon, winding away, not knowing where it finally came.

The Great Wall was in sight, and finally occupied the Great Wall before the Huns. As long as the Great Wall was occupied, the Huns would be unable to escape. Li Guang breathed a sigh of relief.

After slapped the horse's back, Li Guangfei also rushed towards the Great Wall. He soon rushed to the foot of the mountain, rushed up the hillside, and came to the city wall. He pulled the reins of the horse, slowed down his pace and climbed up the stairs.

As soon as he climbed the Great Wall, Li Guang looked around and saw the Han army rushing towards the Great Wall. The splashing smoke and dust seemed to rush towards different parts of the Great Wall like angry dragons.

"Huh!"

Li Guang exclaimed in surprise, his eyes widened suddenly, and a angry dragon appeared in the south, pounced towards the Great Wall.

Judging from the smoke and dust, there were many people coming, and Zhou Yang sent another army? This possibility is not great. Ten thousand people are enough to occupy the Great Wall. Before the victory or defeat is decided, Zhou Yang would not be able to send another army.

If it wasn't the Han army, it would be the Huns. Sure enough, Li Guang had already seen the Huns' wolf flag, and the Huns were coming too fast.

The one who came was the Xiongnu led by Yi Zhixie. His purpose was the same as Li Guang, to occupy the Great Wall. He knew very well how important the Great Wall was to the Huns. As soon as he received the order, he led his army to set off. His order was "Run to the death! Even if he ran off his legs, he would still break on the Great Wall!"

With his strict order, all the Huns rushed towards the Great Wall with a desperate attempt.

In terms of time, the Han army led by Li Guang set out first, and they should have arrived first. However, how could the cavalry of the Han army's infantry be compared with the Huns who grew up on horseback? It was obviously inferior to the Huns in speed.

If Zhou Yang sent Gongsun He to lead the cavalry to capture the Great Wall, the Huns would have no chance. However, Zhou Yang had only such a cavalry, and his powerful fists were not used on the battlefield. He would be useless to occupy the Great Wall.

On the Great Wall, it is inconvenient for cavalry to perform, and the use of infantry is the most suitable one.

Although the Huns came very quickly, far beyond Li Guang's expectations, the Han army still stepped onto the Great Wall first, and even if the Huns rushed over, they were powerless.

Li Guang's idea was good, but this was the resourceful Yi Zhi's army coming. The biggest advantage of this man was that he was smart and changeable and decisive. He saw the Han army rushing towards the Great Wall from afar. If the Huns chased after him, it would be impossible to occupy the Great Wall and would defeat the Han army.

The current plan is to rush up before the Han army fully occupied the Great Wall. The Han army had already rushed to the Great Wall first, and the Huns had no chance. If they were to change, they would either retreat or attack.

Yi Zhixie didn't see this. He knew that he still had a chance. The reason was that the Great Wall was too long, and even if the Han army rushed to the Great Wall, it would not be able to occupy it all in a short time.

It was a quick decision, Yi Zhixi led the Huns to gallop towards the west.

Li Guang stood on the city wall and saw it inexplicably, so why didn’t the Huns come to attack? Even if they don’t attack, they should retreat. Why do they rush to the west?

When the thoughts were turning, he immediately understood, and secretly shouted something bad, and shouted loudly: "Hurry, go west, go west!"

He ran away while shouting.

The Han army followed the correct movement, panting and rushed from behind. On the majestic Great Wall, the Han army rushed towards the west like a Great Wall.

According to Li Guang's arrangement, the Han army climbed the Great Wall from different places, and the Great Wall was occupied by the Han army several miles wide. It only takes a while for the Han army to climb the Great Wall to extend to both sides and completely control the Great Wall.

Yi Zhixie's chance was this time difference. He wanted to rush to the Great Wall before the Han army spread its troops. The Han army rushed up the Great Wall, which was convenient and fast, and had an advantage.

However, the Huns rode horses and ran faster. Soon, they left the Han army a distance away.

It is inconvenient to ride a horse on the Great Wall. First, the Great Wall is not wide enough, and second, a castle is built every certain distance, and the Han army can only race against the four-legged Huns.

Yi Zhixie pulled the reins and rushed up to the Great Wall. As soon as he rushed to the Great Wall, the Han army, led by Li Guang, arrived like a flying one.

Flying off the horse, Yi Zhi rushed up from the steps. He took off his hard bow and took a strong arrow. Before he could shoot an arrow, he heard a sound of breaking through the air. It was Li Guang who attacked him.

Yi Zhixie knew that Li Guang's archery skills were too late, so he hurriedly rushed into the castle, and the arrows in his hand shot out from the squadron. The Huns behind rushed up, and many people shot at the Han army, and only a few rushed into the castle.

As soon as you enter the castle, you will be safe. The castle of the Great Wall is equivalent to a small city, extremely strong and easy to defend and difficult to attack. As soon as the Huns entered, they resisted the attack of the Han army with the cover of the castle.

Although there was a saying in later generations that Qin Shihuang built the Great Wall, the construction of the Great Wall lasted for hundreds of years and was not built by the Qin Dynasty. During the Warring States Period, Qin, Zhao and Yan were often harassed by the Huns and Hu people, so the Great Wall was built. In the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shihuang carried out the largest reconstruction of the Great Wall, connecting the Great Wall that was not originally connected, and then renovating the areas that did not meet the needs of the war to make it more in line with the needs of the war.

The famous general Meng Tian was the one who presided over this huge project.

Meng Tian is not only a military strategist with outstanding talents, but also a very successful scientist. To be precise, he should be a military scientist. He invented and improved a lot of weapons and equipment for the Qin army, and renovated the Great Wall was his big move.

The Great Wall that he rebuilt through him is sturdy and durable and meets the needs of war.

Once such a great Great Wall fell into the hands of the Huns, the consequences would be very serious. Although the Huns were not good at defending the city, they still guarded like iron barrels with the help of the castle. Li Guangkong had a unique archery technique that could last forever, and he was just sighing.

Under Li Guang's command, the Han army launched a fierce attack on the castle, but there was no progress. On the contrary, more and more Huns climbed the Great Wall, and the Great Wall occupied by the Huns became longer and longer.

The Great Wall, the Great Wall, simply put, is a very long city. The Great Wall is very long, thousands of miles long, but not wide. It can only accommodate two carriages, and no matter how many troops there are, it cannot be expanded. Attacking the Great Wall on the Great Wall, one castle and one castle are needed to compete for it. How long does it take?

Not to mention, the castle is extremely solid, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and no one can be defeated. Li Guang was so depressed that he was almost crazy, but he had no choice.

In general, the Han army occupied two-thirds, and only one-third fell into the hands of the Huns. Even this third was enough to let many Huns go away.

Li Guang blamed himself severely and complained that he was slow to act. However, his actions were already fast enough. After receiving the order, he set off immediately. Even eating jerky and drinking horse breasts was also carried out during the march and there was no time to take it off.

If there is a problem, it means that the soldiers are not very good at riding and are not skilled in controlling horses. However, they have tried their best, who can blame them?

A crescent moon hangs high in the sky, and the silver moonlight sprinkles on the earth, dyeing the earth into pieces of silver.

At this time, in the Huns camp, the fire was shining in the sky, and the two armies lit torches in the night. The sound of killing shocked the sky, and the Huns rushed towards the Han army without fear of death.

The Han army still shot with crossbow formations, fired bows and arrows, and then greeted the halberd formations, and the two armies fought hand-to-hand combat.

Until now, there are not 100,000 corpses on the ground, and 70,000 to 80,000 is not a problem. The dead corpses are related to each other, under the fire, at first glance, they are not corpses, but straw piled on the ground, there are too many!

The smell of blood in the air is very strong, so intense that it makes people disgusting.

Zhou Yang's lips were closed tighter, and his chest was undulating rapidly. During the daytime battle, if the crossbow formation was a meat grinder, then the current crossbow formation was a greedy demon, ruthlessly devouring the lives of the Huns.

This battle started from the setting sun and continued until the moon was in the middle of the sky, for several hours. The Huns were still so unafraid of life and death, and moved forward. Zhou Yang had to be surprised by their fighting spirit and their aura.

However, it is not just the morale of the military. Although morale of the military is very important, there are other factors. At least, you have to eat enough to get strong after fighting.

Until now, the Huns were tired and exhausted, and they were almost exhausted. Their charge was no longer as powerful as before, and their sword swings were no longer as fierce.

Since the Huns had eaten a lunch, they had never eaten anything again and had not taken a sip of horse breasts. It would have been a miracle to persevere until now. If they hadn't caused the blood oath to arouse fanaticism, they would have collapsed long ago.

The blood oath is indeed sacred, but if you don’t have enough physical strength, what’s the use of the blood oath? The Huns are already at the end of their strength.

On the other hand, although the Han army was tired, it was not as unbearable as the Huns, and at least it could hold on for a while.

Before the battle started, the Han army hurriedly used a battle meal. This was the biggest advantage of the Han army, and they could hold on for longer.

"It's time to give the Huns the last blow!"

Zhou Yang jumped off his war horse, came to the war drum, stretched out his hand, grabbed the drumstick from a drummer, and knocked it down hard.

"Dongdong!"

Hundreds of war drums were beating together, and the drums were thunderous, rushing away, and heard from a hundred miles.

This was the order for the attack. Commander Zhou Yang beat the drum himself, which greatly motivated the Han army. The Han army shouted and pressed against the Huns.

"The Han army is mighty!"
Chapter completed!
