After more than four days of heavy snowfall, it finally stopped completely. Liu Bao hurriedly mounted his horse and led the team to the camp in Huchuquan. Along the way, Liu Bao turned his head in three steps. He looked in the direction of the camp, expecting a miracle to appear, but the reason why a miracle is called a miracle is because such a situation rarely happens. Of course, Liu Bao did not wait for the miracle he was hoping for.
Three days later, the Huns cavalry team composed of more than 23,000 young and Zhuang herdsmen had approached the Huchuquan camp. Suddenly, someone saw a few white shadows flashing by on the snowy field in front of them. The speed was so fast. It’s amazing, even the most flexible snow fox doesn’t have this speed on the snow.
When Liu Bao received the report, he was skeptical. He rushed to the front and looked in the direction of Hu Chuquan for a while, but he didn't see anything. He couldn't help but screamed, and said, "You are all dazzling, making a fuss. ,Keep going,"
Although the snow has stopped, the snow is still deep and the team is moving very slowly. However, everyone knows that as long as they approach the Huchuquan camp, their horses can gallop because of the snow there. It must have been cleaned up by the people of the Huchuquan tribe,
The whole team walked forward for more than ten miles, and already vaguely saw a large group of tents, a large tent in the middle, the red tents flashed a little dazzling red light under the rays of the setting sun, everyone was excited Get up, there is the Huchuquan tribe camp. As long as they can break through the Huchuquan tribe’s guards and enter the camp, the countless belongings, cattle, sheep, and women in the camp are all theirs. Although they have many People, but Huchuquan’s tribe is the second largest tribe after Froe. Don’t worry about not having enough trophies.
The dark-skinned man who was always following Liu Bao was already a little uncontrollable, and said loudly, "King Zuo Xian, give an order to rush."
This big man was called Kemei'an, a close friend of Yuvro, and served as the deputy commander of this operation. The 10,000 elite cavalry drawn from the Yuvro tribe were under his direct command. He has been closely following Liu Bao. Because he still has the task of monitoring Liu Bao,
Liu Bao frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Give my order, send a thousand people to the periphery, and all the others will dismount and rest."
Ke Mai'an was taken aback for a moment, and said, "King Zuo Xian, Hu Chuquan's camp is right in front of them. They must be unprepared now, and they are about to take him down."
Liu Bao snorted coldly and said faintly: "The offender shall be cut."
Kemeran mumbled, then turned around to convey the order.
Liu Bao sneered secretly. He had already seen Kemeran not pleasing to his eyes. If Kemeran were to talk nonsense here, he really wouldn’t mind taking the opportunity to kill him. Liu Bao has fought for many years and has very rich experience. He knows , My party drove such a long way in the snowy field, they were already tired of people and horses, so I don’t want to have a good rest. Where can I get the strength to rush to the front
Moreover, the Huchuquan tribe is a large tribe with a large number of young and strong. If you count the women and children who can draw a bow, their combat power is not much inferior to them. Nowadays, the people of the Huchuquan tribe are not able to escape quickly and also escape. Not far away, if they encounter an attack in this situation, they will not surrender as easily as a small tribe, but will definitely resist desperately.
Liu Bao ordered a rest, on the one hand to restore the physical strength of people and horses, on the other hand, he was also waiting for the moment when the sun went down. When the sun went down, it was when the grassland people returned to the tent to drink and eat meat. Relax, the guards outside are also the most relaxed. It is the best time to attack. Liu Bao is doomed to get no real benefits in this battle. He will use a perfect victory to gain a good reputation for himself.
More than 20,000 Huns cavalry had traveled a long distance, and they were indeed a little tired. At the order of Liu Bao, they jumped off their horses, unsaddled their saddles, and lay down on the snowy ground, allowing their horses to spin around leisurely on the snowy field.
Suddenly, the group of guards made stern whistles, and then they fell down one after another, and a large group of white figures emerged from the depths of the snowy field, flying towards this side, just as they had just said. Like the white shadows I saw, these people came and went freely on the snow, running like flying,
At this time, Liu Bao realized that the Xiongnu cavalry were not dazzled. There are really people in this world who can run so fast on the snowy field. What they saw just now was just the outpost of these people, but he is now I realized that it was too late, and countless white shadows appeared on their left and right wings, and they were surrounded.
Liu Bao had no time to think about who these people were and where they came from. He almost reflexively jumped up from the snow, jumped on the horse, and shouted: "Hurry up, get on the horse, defend the enemy,"
Actually, he didn’t need to give orders. Those Xiongnu cavalry who had been lazily lying on the ground rushed towards their horses, and the snowfield was suddenly upset. However, this kind of upheaval seemed normal to Liu Bao. He did not continue to give orders, just Watching the incoming enemy nervously, the Huns didn’t have a line of troops in battle. They are always chaotic. What they rely on is super mobility and superb riding and shooting, and there are few short-term strikes. Desperately fighting,
Liu Bao has already seen clearly that this group of enemies attacked from the front and left and right directions, and did not block their retreat. Liu Bao, who has also studied Sinology, immediately understood that this is a commonly used siege by the Han people. The three-to-one tactic, do these enemies come from a big man, Liu Bao hesitated a little, and then he was ready to issue an order to attack forward. In such a situation, he should choose to retreat first, but he thought that the enemy’s tactics were siege One, then there must be some traps in the "missing" direction. If they retreat, wouldn't they be caught in the trap of the enemy
His order has not been issued yet. Many of the Huns cavalry who leaped on their horses have already retreated to the rear. These Huns did not flee for fear of death. This is just their natural response when they encounter an attack.
When encountering a sudden attack, especially when facing encirclement, the Huns cavalry would often choose to run away immediately, first disengage from the enemy, and then try to deal with the enemy. Their superb riding and shooting ability and super mobility, It also provides them with favorable conditions for adopting this tactic. Therefore, in conflicts between grassland and tribes, you can often see scenes like this. A group of people riding a horse running in front, a group of people riding a horse to chase behind, and the front People ride and shoot, and the people behind are also riding and shooting. The fight was very lively. As a result, after a battle, the results were few.
Liu Bao is nominally the commander-in-chief of these Huns cavalry. In fact, these Huns only obey their tribal leaders. Liu Bao’s orders need to be relayed through these tribal leaders.
Among these people, the most powerful and controlling force is Kemaian. Kemaian, who was still eager to try just now, instinctively commanded his troops to retreat first. When other tribe leaders saw this, they also commanded each other. The horses and men retreated to the rear. In addition, many Huns cavalry had taken the initiative to retreat. The entire Huns team formed a frenzy of retreat. Liu Bao wanted to stop drinking and it was too late, so he shook his head and sighed.
However, these Xiongnu cavalry soon discovered that their tactics seemed to be out of order. The vast grassland they were usually familiar with was now covered with thick snow, and the horses could not spread four hooves in such a place. If you can’t get up quickly, there is no way to talk about mobility, and riding and shooting becomes shooting while walking.
However, those enemies who did not know where they came from were on the snowy field much faster than them, and in a blink of an eye they were only an arrow away.
The horses of the Huns cavalry cannot run fast, but their bows and arrows are still sharp. Many cavalry simply slowed down the retreat of their horses, bent their bows and set arrows, aiming at the direction of the enemy’s attack.
At this moment, those enemies wearing white cloaks suddenly stopped advancing, and then a rain of arrows poured over them. Those enemies were far beyond the range of the Huns cavalry, even the best archers among them. They could not shoot such a long distance. The Huns took it for granted that the enemy could not shoot such a long distance. They did not take any precautions.
Fortunately, the Huns cavalry who escaped the rain of arrows did not dare to stop anymore, and retreated in a panic. However, their enemies were obviously faster than them. Although they started later than them, they caught up again in a moment. The last time, there was a rain of arrows, and the Huns cavalry fell down a lot.
Liu Bao suddenly felt shocked. He had seen such a powerful bow and arrow. Except for Jingzhou Mu Liu Xin’s army, who could have such sophisticated equipment, although he could not see who the opponent’s commander was, Liu Bao already knew himself Facing a terrible opponent, he couldn't help shouting: "My sons, you can't retreat anymore. Only by rushing forward will there be a way to survive,"
In fact, without Liu Bao, many tribal leaders have already felt that if they retreat in this way, the entire army is likely to be wiped out. It's just that they are in their own hands and no one comes out to command the whole thing. Although there is no Liu Bao's men, he It was the nominal commander-in-chief. The voice he shouted at this critical moment really received a miraculous effect. The Huns cavalry who were retreating chaotically turned their heads and rushed forward. At this time, they lacked good formation training. The weakness of the Xiongnu cavalry was revealed. Although these Huns had turned their heads, they just rushed toward the enemy in front of them, but they couldn't take care of the two wings.
Seeing the Huns cavalry turning around and rushing over, the enemies in front of them quickly retreated. When they retreated more than an arrow from them, they stopped and let a wave of arrows rain again, as if playing with the Huns The game of cat and mouse keeps these Huns cavalry from coming close.
