234 Decisive Battle Against the Huns 3

Three days later, Lu Ning and Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and Dian Wei led 40,000 troops to set off. After the Lu Ning army crossed the Yellow River and met with Gao Shun's vanguard troops, Gao Shun and Lu Ning checked the surrounding geographical landscape. The combat surface of the Lu Ning army and the Huns coalition was more than 30 kilometers. The left side of the Lu Ning army was a forest and the right side was empty. After Gao Shun's emergency construction of the fortifications, the front of the Lu Ning army and the Huns coalition had a combat width of more than ten kilometers. In other places, Gao Shun sent people to dig out and arrange the traps of the Dashi, and a small number of soldiers were stationed.

Before the war, Lu Ning held a meeting, and Gao Shun said: "Lord, this time the Huns and Tartars were mobilized, and all tribes had basically dispatched men who could participate in the war. Although there were 150,000 cavalry, the real Tartar cavalry was only about 100,000 cavalry, and the others were basically temporarily forced to force them. The weapons and armor were not complete. Judging from the combat effectiveness of our army, our army had a great chance of winning in this battle."

Zhao Yun said: "Brother, based on the current soldiers of our army, our army can eliminate part of the Tartars by using long-range weapons, give full play to the role of our army's crossbows, reduce the speed of the Huns coalition, and prevent the Huns' cavalry from rushing at high speed, then our army will be victorious."

Lu Ning has 50,000 against the Huns and 150,000. For such a military force comparison, of course, we must give full play to the equipment advantages of the Lu Ning army and cannot compete with the Tartars. Lu Ning smiled and said, "Zilong is right. We must control the speed of the Huns' cavalry, so that they will gain any advantage when they are not fast. If the Huns' cavalry rushes up, the lethality of the Huns' cavalry will be reflected, which is something we don't want to see. Our soldiers are well equipped, and the Huns' bows and arrows are not very effective in our killing power, but the crossbows in the hands of our soldiers are extremely lethal to them. Moreover, the shooting speed of our crossbows is very fast. The soldiers can shoot ten arrows in an instant and can quickly replace them with another box of arrow armor. This is something that the Huns' bows and arrows cannot achieve."

Zhang Liao said: "Brother, my Feixiong Army soldiers are equipped with stirrups. The combat power has been greatly improved after the saddle. After the war horse is nailed to the horses, the performance of the war horses has also been improved to a certain extent. Our army takes the Tartars seriously."

Two days later, the decisive battle began. The first attack of the Huns Tartar Yu Fuluo Shanyu dispatched 50,000 Huns cavalry to kill the generals to the Lu Ning army. The Lu Ning army was led by Zhao Yun to form a formation, and the soldiers were full of crossbows, ready to attack at any time. When the Huns cavalry entered the crossbow bed of the Lu Ning army and the effective range of the crossbow chariots, Lu Ning ordered the shooting. On the one hundred crossbow beds, there were two large crossbow arrows on each crossbow bed. One hundred crossbow arrows shot into the formation of the Huns cavalry. Three hundred large crossbow arrows made the whistling sound of Weng Weng and flew out. The crossbow arrow shooting team immediately penetrated the body of the Huns cavalry. Some even had not lost their power and penetrated three people in a row. If the horse of the Huns cavalry was shot, the war horses fell to the ground immediately.

In the glass, Lu Ning saw that the Huns' Iron Cavalry was overturned by a horse. The speed of the Tartars' Iron Cavalry was suppressed, but the Huns' Iron Cavalry continued to attack the Lu Ning Army's formation. The second wave of the Lu Ning Army's crossbow bed and the crossbow chariot also shot out. Hundreds of the Tartars' Iron Cavalry were shot again. The speed of the Tartars' Iron Cavalry was suppressed again. The Huns' Tartars had already lost nearly a thousand Iron Cavalry. When the Lu Ning Army's crossbow bed and the crossbow chariot launched the third wave of shooting, the Tartars' Iron Cavalry had entered the shooting range of the Lu Ning Army's crossbow. The compound strong bows in the hands of the 20,000 Flying Bears soldiers of the Lu Ning Army lined up to the crossbow bed and behind the crossbow chariot were shot out one after another. The 20,000 strong arrows fell into the formation of the Huns' Iron Cavalry. The Tartars' Iron Cavalry became in chaos. Thousands of Tartars' Iron Cavalry were killed in the formation, and the speed of the Tartars' Iron Cavalry was effectively suppressed.

At this time, Zhao Yun's 10,000 flying bear army was dispatched, and the soldiers' crossbows were killed. In less than a minute, Zhao Yun's flying bear army soldiers shot 100,000 crossbow arrows, which were cruel. As long as the Huns' iron cavalry shot by the crossbow arrows either died or fell off their war horses, the Tatars instantly killed another six or seven thousand iron cavalry. With the shooting in front of the Lu Ning army, 30% of the first wave of attacking the Tatars' iron cavalry ascended to heaven. Although the Tatars' iron cavalry also used the bows and arrows in their hands to shoot at Zhao Qu's flying bear army, the effect was very poor. After shooting on the Lu Ning army's soldiers, they all fell to the ground. The armor on the Lu Ning army's soldiers made the Tartars' bows and arrows play no role.

Zhao Yun's 10,000 Flying Bear Army did not contact the Xiongnu Iron Cavalry, but detoured to the left and quickly shot the Tartars with the crossbow in his hand. The Hun Shanyu Yu Fuluo, who was standing in the distance, saw that the Lu Ning army did not contact his Iron Cavalry, and knew that the bows and arrows in his Iron Cavalry would not have any effect on the Lu Ning army. He immediately prepared to surround Zhao Yun's 10,000 Flying Bear Army. Lu Ning immediately asked Xu Huang to lead the 10,000 Flying Bear Army to face the Tartars' Iron Cavalry from the right to carry out a second wave of attacks. After the original 50,000 Hun Iron Cavalry was shot by Xu Huang's army twice, the entire army was basically in a mess.

Lu Ning's horse asked Gao Shun to lead 10,000 Flying Bear Army soldiers to carry a fatal blow to the remaining enemy. Gao Shun's 10,000 Flying Bear Army soldiers held a small shield for cavalry in their left hand and a sabre in their right hand to kill the Tartars formation. At this time, the Huns' cavalry had no speed. They were blocked by dead bodies and war horses. The entire army was extremely chaotic and could withstand the chopping and killing of Gao Shun's army. At this time, Zhao Yun and Xu Huang's two armies had already surrounded the remaining Tartars.

Seeing Yu Fuluo's 20,000 support iron cavalry, Lu Ning asked Zhang Liao to lead another 10,000 troops to block. When Yu Fuluo saw that the 50,000 iron cavalry at the forefront was basically unable to rescue, he had to order the 20,000 iron cavalry to retreat. He had no choice but to do so, too fast, and he lost 50,000 iron cavalry in less than half an hour, which made him a little scared. He didn't want to lose more. Once he lost 20,000 iron cavalry again, it would be troublesome. After all, the 50,000 iron cavalry that had been lost was not the main force of his Hun army. Today, it was just a test of the strength of Lu Ning's army, but he didn't expect that Lu Ning's army had such powerful combat power.

The battle was over. Lu Ning's army destroyed 50,000 Xiongnu cavalry, and Lu Ning's army lost more than 1,200 people, but this was not worthy of Lu Ning and the others' happiness. Lu Ning and the others knew that what they had eliminated today was not the elite cavalry of the Huns and Tartars, but just the miscellaneous army they had to come up with temporarily. If they wanted to truly eliminate the Xiongnu Tatars, they had to destroy their elite cavalry, and they had to kill Yu Fuluo, Huchuquan, and Gebei, so the subsequent clearance would be much easier.
