Chapter 65: A Triumph Return(1/2)
Chapter 65 Return of Triumph
Looking at the accumulated corpses on the ground, Yi Zhixie felt like he had knocked over the Five Flavors bottle in his heart, which was extremely uncomfortable. He didn't believe in his eyes at all. His five thousand elite soldiers actually defeated the three thousand Jianzhang Army in one round, and he was completely defeated!
Complete defeat means that there is no power to fight back and there are heavy casualties.
The cavalry was defeated by the fierce attack and was completely defeated. There was only once in the history of the Huns. The Touman Shanyu was defeated by the Qin Dynasty's flying cavalry in Hetao. That was already a long time ago. When did the Han Dynasty cavalry have such combat power?
This is the army he trained himself, very elite, and even compared with the troops of the Shanyu headquarters, it is not necessarily inferior. Not to mention, he has an advantage in numbers. With 5,000 to 3,000, it is almost the same as two of them fighting one.
With such an advantage in military strength, even if the Legend of the Condor Heroes against the Huns may not be defeated, and even if they are defeated, they will not be so miserable.
But he was defeated, completely defeated!
How shocking this was for Yi Zhixie. He was surprised, unbelievable, surprised, shocked... All kinds of tastes came to his heart, and the ups and downs were gathered together, and he himself didn't know what it felt.
Yi Zhixie felt his body stiff, his head buzzing, and it was blank. The Han army's fighting style was too unexpected!
In a vaguely manner, Yi Zhixie realized that if the cavalry of the Han Dynasty fought as they did today, the cavalry of the Huns would no longer exist. In the future, it would be a luxury to gain the upper hand in the cavalry of the Han Dynasty, and it would be a luxury to give the cavalry of the Han Dynasty.
This is not just a matter of training, but more importantly, equipment advantages. The Han Dynasty had advanced civilization and developed technology, and the equipment needed could be made as much as the equipment. The Huns could only sway horses and bend their bows, but could not make excellent equipment. When encountering Han Dynasty cavalry that enjoyed huge equipment advantages, would the Huns still have an advantage?
Yi Zhixie is proficient in the art of using troops. Once he understands this, he only feels the world is spinning.
It is completely foreseeable that the Han Dynasty cavalry showed such great power today. After the end of this battle, the Han Dynasty would devote all its financial resources to build elite cavalry. Under the fourth attack of the Han Dynasty cavalry, the end of the Huns will come.
Although he was shocked, Yi Zhixie did not forget another thing, that is, escape. When he saw that the situation was not good, Yi Zhixie slapped his horse and turned around and ran away. His personal guards huh, guarding him and blocking the arrows for him with his body. The Han sword made him escape this disaster.
Yi Zhixie's ability to escape was as superb as his ability to fight. He escaped far away in just one breath.
Zhou Yang had already discovered him: "Person Gongsun, Yi Zhi has handed it over to you."
This was the military order that Gongsun He had heard the happiest in his life. He laughed and said, "Don't worry, the general will definitely abandon him!" With a wave of his hand, he led fifty people to chase him.
Under the command of Zhou Yang, the remaining Jianzhang Army launched a fierce attack on Yi Zhixie's remnants. Under the storm of Jianzhang Army, the Huns suffered heavy casualties, their confidence was greatly hit, and they no longer had the fighting spirit. Yi Zhixie fled again and completely collapsed, and the massacre of Jianzhang Army was soon over.
Holding the blood-dropped Han sword, Zhou Yang glanced around and saw Gongsun He still chasing Yi Zhixie. Yi Zhixie was extremely skilled, and with extraordinary alertness, Gongsun He had not killed him yet.
The pursuit of Li Guang and Junchen Shanyu was over. Li Guang did not capture Junchen Shanyu alive, nor did he kill him, but escaped for him.
It’s not that Li Guang did not do his best, but that the battle was similar and he could not get closer. Li Guang’s bow and arrow shot was at the end of his strength and did not pose a threat to the Junchen Shanyu. On the contrary, many Huns moved closer to the Junchen Shanyu and chased them all. Junchen Shanyu had gathered nearly two thousand Huns.
The Huns were everywhere in the mountains. Wherever the military ministers and Shanyu fled, there were Huns approaching. The Han soldiers were too few, so Li Guang could only watch his team grow more and more, but he was helpless.
Although the Han army was brave, they killed only a few thousand Xiongnu. However, there were 100,000 Xiongnus here. The military minister Shanyu gathered the Xiongnu together like magnets attracting iron sand. If he gave him some more time, he would have gathered more Xiongnu.
Once the Huns re-formed their formation, the Han army would have great trouble. Even if the entire army was not wiped out, there would be heavy casualties, which was too unprofitable. Zhou Yang weighed it briefly and gave up the idea of helping Gongsun He chase Yi Zhixie, and led Jianzhang's army to rush towards the military minister Shanyu.
The Huns, which Junchen Shanyu had to be defeated, must not be allowed to reorganize the formation!
Junchen Shanyu had long seen the defeat of Yi Zhixie. It was a dignified formation, the flag of righteousness, and it was a frontal blow with a complete formation. Yi Zhiyi's five thousand troops were defeated by a blow. Jianzhang's army's attack was amazing, and it was definitely not something he could stop.
"Dedicate blood to the great Maodun Chanyu!"
Junchen Shanyu rode his horse to the formation and shouted.
This is a blood oath. The Huns have no way out, they can only move forward. The Huns are like addicts taking drugs, their spirits are high and their fighting spirit is fierce. They have a bloodthirsty light in their eyes. They wave a scimitar and rushed forward towards Jianzhangjun.
Jianzhangjun first shot with a crossbow, then with a bow and arrow, and stabbed hard with a spear in close combat. Finally, he made a handful of bright Han swords with a wonderful curve and sent them to meet the Kunlun God.
This result was expected by Junchen Shanyu, so he did not follow him. As soon as he saw that the defeat was decided, Junchen Shanyu drove away and leaned towards Zuo Xianwang.
"Master, chase!" Li Guang rushed over and shouted from afar.
"Flying General, you go chase." Zhou Yang observed the situation on the battlefield and had become unfavorable to the Han army.
The ministers of the Huns had gathered a lot of troops, ranging from one thousand, two thousand, and three to five thousand. Zhou Yang was not worried about these chaotic troops alone. What made Zhou Yang worried was that these gathered Huns were getting closer. Once they were brought closer, the formation would be established and the situation would be reversed immediately. The Han army would be surrounded, and there would be a danger of annihilation of the entire army.
The Han army has not yet reached ten thousand. Even if it kills ten thousand, the Huns still have ninety thousand. As long as the formation is stabilized, the Huns will soon gather together and form a dignified formation, pressing up like Mount Tai. Even if the Han army is not completely wiped out, it will be extremely costly.
Not to mention, the Huns still have 400,000 troops nearby. Once the war is undecided, the 400,000 troops will arrive, and no Han army can leave.
Li Guang was stunned, glanced at the battlefield, immediately understood Zhou Yang's concerns, and said hatefully: "As for the luck of the Shanyu, let him go! Grandmaster, we will defeat these gathered Xiongnu first, and we must never give them a chance to reorganize the formation!"
He is worthy of being a good general, and once his thoughts change, he can distinguish priorities.
It is important to deal with the military ministers and Shanyu, but the number of Han soldiers is too small, and it may not be successful. If you use too much force to chase the military ministers and Shanyu, it will give the Huns time to reorganize their formation. On the contrary, it is better to completely defeat the Huns, which is more secure.
Zhou Yang nodded in approval: "General Fei, take people to attack here. I'll attack there."
"No!" Li Guang took the order and rushed out with the Han army.
Zhou Yang led the Han army to defeat Zuo Xianwang, who had the largest number of troops, again. Then he divided the Han army into teams of each thousand people, specifically attacking the gathered Xiongnu. Those Xiongnu who were running around were short of military strength, so they could only afford to take advantage of them.
The Han army's fangs bared, their sharp claws stretched out, and they shot crossbows away, then they shot bows and arrows, followed by spears or halberds, and finally they spoke with the Han sword.
Under the fierce attack of the Han army, the army that the Huns had just gathered collapsed again.
The military ministers, Shanyu and the ministers tried every means, but they could not gather the army.
The Han army became more and more dispersed, first with a team of thousands of people, then with five hundred people, and then with two hundred people. When the Han army was a team of hundreds of people, the Huns completely retreated, and the military minister Shanyu took the lead in breaking away.
Once he fled, the Huns had no leader and had to escape their lives. The Huns' threat to the Han army was completely lifted.
The generals gathered together in panting, excited Mo Ming. The Han army defeated the 100,000 Huns with 10,000 cavalry. This was a miracle. How happy it was and so proud it was!
The most unhappy thing was Li Guang and Gongsun He. Li Guang failed to pursue the military minister Shanyu, and Gongsun He failed to pursue Yi Zhixie. Such a good opportunity is rare in the ages, and it is impossible to make them feel sorry for them.
"What a pity! If our army had a little more, it would not take 50,000, but only 30,000. It would be guaranteed that Shanyu and his ministers would not escape!" Li Guang clenched his right hand into a fist, and used excessive force, and became a little blue.
That's right, although the Han army had the upper hand, it was because of insufficient troops and the results were not too great. It was precisely because of the few Han soldiers that the Huns ministers dared to gather the army. Otherwise, they would have only had to escape. The victory and defeat in this battle had been decided long ago, so there was no need to delay it until now.
"Master, we have to retreat quickly!" Cheng Buzhi was extremely calm: "Although we won this battle, we killed and killed the Huns only a little over 10,000, and we are still in a dangerous place, so we have to retreat quickly."
He is worthy of being a famous general. After winning, he is still so calm and rational. Zhou Yang secretly exclaimed.
Li Guang took over the conversation and said, "The most important thing for us now is to drive hundreds of thousands of horses back. With these horses, it won't take long before the Han Dynasty will have a cavalry that can conquer and fight well. At that time, let alone the Shanyu, even the Longcheng, the Shanyu Court, and the Langjuxu Mountain will be ours!"
Speaking of the vital points, Zhou Yang and his team's biggest gain this time was these hundreds of thousands of horses. In any case, they had to take them back. Zhou Yang nodded and said, "That's right! We have to retreat quickly. There are 400,000 Huns nearby. They will come to hear the news. I, General Fei, General Cheng, and Jianzhang's army will stay. The rest will go to drive the horses. The faster you go, the better!"
The 400,000 Huns came to fight after hearing the news. It was a force of Mount Tai. The Han army would definitely not be able to withstand it, so they could only walk. There were too many horses and fewer people, so they might not be able to deal with them. There were more people and were safe.
The generals had no objection to this arrangement. Zhou Yang, Li Guang, and Cheng Bushi led Jianzhang Army to cut off the rear, and the remaining 7,000 people drove the horses and headed towards the Han Dynasty as if they were flying.
As Zhou Yang expected, the Huns soon chased after him.
There were not many Huns chasing him, about two thousand people. The leader was a young man with an extremely tall figure, eyes like a copper bell, a huge mouth, and an extremely magical war horse under his crotch. His white fur was as white as snow. Zhou Yang's eyes lit up and he secretly praised him as a good horse.
The young man carried a long and big hard bow, which was no less than the hard bow on Li Guang's back. Li Guang's eyes shone with shimmering in his tiger's eyes: "This is a good shooting man, I don't know how his archery skills are?"
"Stop the Han people!" When the young man spoke, he felt like he was thundering, shaking his eardrums.
"Can Zhou Yang be there?" The young man's eyes shone with hatred, and he glanced at Jianzhangjun.
"I am!" Zhou Yang replied by horse.
"You are Zhou Yang?" The young man said viciously: "I am Hou Chaner, the younger brother of Zuo Daduwei. I come to avenge my brother! Do you dare to compete with me for archery?"
"The younger brother of Zuo Daduwei?" Cheng Bushi, Li Guangda was surprised and couldn't help but be surprised.
"If you want to take revenge, then come!" Zhou Yang waved his right hand and shouted: "Kill!"
On the battlefield, who would fight with you alone and follow that man? Zhou Yang is not the kind of person who is prone to impulsiveness.
"The Han army is mighty!"
Jianzhangjun roared at the battle roar and rushed out like a storm. The crossbow began to show its power. The dense crossbow arrows covered Hou Chaner's army, and countless casualties were immediately killed or injured, and many corpses were added on the ground.
Hou Chaner's face turned blue with anger, and pointed at Zhou Yang and scolded: "Zhou Yang, you are as timid as a mouse, and you dare not compete with me for archery."
"I want to compare archery skills, let's talk about it after I finish it!" Zhou Yang was not excited at all and led Jianzhangjun to rush over.
Hou Chaner took off his hard bow, and used a strong arrow to aim at Zhou Yang. Before he could shoot arrows, Jianzhang Army had already shot thousands of arrows at the same time. A sound of breaking through the air sounded. Hou Chaner's pupils shrank suddenly and she exclaimed: "The Legend of the Condor? So many The Legend of the Condor Heroes?"
His surprise was exactly the same as Yi Zhi's surprise when he first saw Jianzhang Jun.
Hou Chan'er could not shoot this arrow, and he could only dodge left and right. He was very skilled, but he was not injured, but his army suffered heavy casualties.
Jianzhang's army shot over one round after another, and Hou Chan'er's army died under crossbow arrows and arrows, nearly half of which were injured.
Hou Chan'er relied on his bravery and did not take the Han army seriously. He didn't expect that he would lose so many troops without a single arrow in this battle. He was so depressed that he felt even more uncomfortable than eating a fly, and his face turned pale with anger.
Just as he was angry, Jianzhangjun had an extra spear in his hand. The curved spear tip looked like the sharp beak of an eagle, extremely sharp, pointing at the Huns.
The rumbling sound of hooves and the splashing smoke and dust, Jian Zhangjun held a spear in his hands, and it was like a whirlwind, and the bright spear looked like a poisonous snake.
"This..." Hou Chan'er was stunned for a moment.
He was only in his twenties and had a limited number of times he went to the battlefield. His impression of the Han people was mainly from what Zuo Daduwei said. Zuo Daduwei relied on his bravery and did not take the Han army seriously. He said all the vulnerable words of the Han army. How could he not be surprised when he first saw it?
"Puff!"
The sound of the spear entering the flesh was heard, and the Huns screamed everywhere, and they all fell down.
Hou Chan'er realized that he had kicked the iron plate, and his scalp exploded, and ran away, throwing the revenge to the sky.
"Don't go!"
Li Guang pulled the yellow arrow and shot Hou Chan'er.
Although he had only one arrow, he made a big fist, as if he had shot hundreds of arrows, and he was worthy of being a unique archer for all ages.
"Flying General?" Hou Chaner's archery skills were extraordinary. He knew that the power of an arrow was so powerful. There was only one person in the world, and that was Flying General Li Guang.
Although he was surprised, he was not panicked. As soon as he pulled the reins, the war horse under his crotch made a majestic neighing sound, as if he was pulled by a rope. He moved to the left several feet and avoided it.
To be continued...
