Chapter 83: Confrontation

The ministers were so whispering that they demoted the Han army to nothing, as if they were cattle and sheep, and they were allowed to harvest their heads.

Fighting in the wild is indeed the best skill of the Huns. The horse under the Great Wall is even more convenient for the Huns to perform their riding and shooting. It is impossible to be arrogant. Even Yi Zhixie, who has always been calm, was so excited that he said a lot of words like winning.

The only Bank of China said that one person was alone, eating meat, drinking horse breasts in big mouthfuls, silently speaking, as if this had not happened.

"The Bank of China said that you made this strategy. Do you think that how many warriors can the Han people defeat the Great Huns?"

Junchen Shanyu was also very happy about the Han army going north, but he was not completely confused yet. He understood that one person was desperate, but two people were unable to stop him. Two hundred thousand people were desperate, and although the Huns were brave, it was difficult to deal with it.

At this time, the Central Bank said that his heart was overwhelming and it was difficult to calm down. He understood strategy, and the words of his personal guards reminded him that if the Han army really wanted to fight desperately, the Huns would be seriously injured. Not to mention that in the next year, it is likely that they would not be able to move south in large numbers in the next few years.

Of course, he could not say this. When he came up with an idea, he said that as long as he forced the Han army to the Great Wall, he could defeat the Han army and the Huns would win. If he said that the Huns were extremely expensive now, wouldn’t it be a shooting himself in the foot?

Furthermore, even if he said it, not necessarily anyone would believe it. Who would believe that the sheep could kick the wolf to death? The Huns claimed to be the wolf on the grassland and regarded the Han people as sheep!

"The Great Shanyu, the Han army went north, which was a way to seek death. The Great Shanyu didn't have to worry!" The Central Bank said that he was determined to tell lies.

"Ha ha!"

Junchen Shanyu was very happy and laughed: "The Bank of China said, "You said, let's wait here, or do something else?"

Junchen Shanyu had to accept the plan of the Bank of China. He said he would force the Han army to come, but he really forced it to come.

"The Great Shanyu and the Han army had the weakest combat power. If we take this opportunity..." The Bank of China stopped here.

He didn't need to say anything, and everyone understood what to do. Junchen Shanyu and the ministers burst into laughter.

"The Han people must be unprepared for marching. Let's take this opportunity to fight!"

"The Han people burned our grasslands and burned the herdsmen and cattle and sheep of the Great Huns to death. It's time for them to pay!"

"That's not called a fight, that's to welcome them north!"

Amid the ridicule of the ministers, Yi Zhixie's cold voice sounded, and he joked, and immediately said: "Da Shanyu, I am willing to lead my troops there!"

The defeat of the Huns this year was started with Antao, and later he suffered repeated defeats and was in a mess. Although Yi Zhixie's aura was calm, he was still ashamed. This was a good opportunity to retaliate against the Han army, how could he miss it?

"Okay! This Shanyu gave you 50,000 troops, and we would like to welcome the Han army!" Junchen Shanyu was very happy.

"Don't worry, I will kill the Han army with blood flowing into a river and corpses piled up like mountains!" Yi Zhixie was full of confidence.

What power is it that the 50,000 elite Huns rushed forward together? So far, although the Han army has won again and again, it has never been head-on with the 50,000 Xiongnu army. It is impossible to make Yi Zhixie feel unconfident.

"rumble!"

The Han army marched, with the sound of hooves like thunder and the smoke and dust like clouds, and it drove northward, like a surging tide.

Two hundred thousand troops advanced, plus horses, equipment, and supplies, covering an area of ​​dozens of miles. If you look from the air, you will see a surging red wave within dozens of miles.

It is magnificent and shocking.

Zhou Yang rode on the horse and looked at the Han army from time to time. Yu the Han army's high morale was determined to die, and he was very satisfied.

In front of Zhou Yang, there was a big guy and a car. This car was very big and heavy, and needed eight magic horses to pull it. It took up a lot of space. This was the "cloud car", which was the command car of the Han Dynasty.

In the plains and wilderness, if the general stands on the ground and cannot grasp the overall situation, he needs to use a cloud car. There is a viewing tower on the cloud car that can observe the enemy situation or be used to command the battle.

This time, the battle with the Huns under the Great Wall was to fight on the plains, and cloud cars were indispensable.

"Master General, do you think the Huns will come?" Li Guang beside him was a little worried.

"It's okay to come, it's okay not to come!" Zhou Yang was not worried.

"Master, what you said?" Li Guang complained.

"When the Huns come, we will kill the last battle. If we don't come, we will kill again under the Great Wall. Of course, if the Huns still come, we can take the opportunity to kill more Huns. In the final battle, the difficulties will be smaller." Zhou Yang analyzed.

"Although we have a 70% chance of winning. However, if we take advantage of this opportunity to advance and kill another 30,000 to 50,000 Huns, the chance of winning will be higher." Li Guang nodded constantly.

"Report to the Grand Commander, 50,000 Xiongnu are coming." Zhao Ponu rushed over panting and reported loudly: "It's King Zuo Guli Yi Zhixie."

"Is it really Yi Zhixie?" Li Guang blurted out.

"It's him! I know him!" Zhao Ponu confirmed that Yi Zhixie defeated Yu Antao. It was through the hands of Jianzhang Army that Jianzhang Army who participated in the war recognized Yi Zhixie.

"That's great!" Li Guang clenched his fists with excitement: "If we eat Yi Zhixie in one bite, the chances of winning will be 90%.

Yi Zhixie himself is proficient in military affairs. If he is killed, Junchen Shanyu will lose one arm and lose another 50,000 troops. The gap in military strength will be further narrowed, and it will be more than 20% of the chances of victory.

"Where did you go?" Zhou Yang asked.

"It's only fifty miles away from us." Zhao Ponu replied panting.

"Fifty miles? One breath! Grandmaster, let's set up the formation quickly." Li Guang hurriedly reminded.

"Send the order, stop moving forward and prepare for a big battle!" Zhou Yang whispered in Li Guang's ear, and Li Guang left happily.

As soon as the order was passed, the Han army stopped, the chariots were in front, the cavalry protected the two wings, and the Jianzhang army protected the food and supplies behind them.

The soldier put the cloud cart down and fixed it first to prevent falling. Zhou Yang got off the war horse, got on the cloud cart, and stood up to the watchtower. The soldier pushed the winch, and with the sound of the winch, the cloud cart slowly rose. Zhou Yang seemed to be taking an elevator, rising higher and higher.

It rose to more than ten feet and then stopped.

Zhou Yang looked around and felt excited.

The 200,000 troops gathered together, what a great reputation it was. It was condescending and full of sight, with magnificent waves and shocking.

Taking a breath and calming down his excitement, Zhou Yang looked north and saw an angry dragon rushing towards the Han army, which was the smoke and dust splashed by the Huns.

"rumble!"

The faint sound of hoofs came. Although the distance was far, the shock could make people feel it clearly.

After another moment, the sound of hooves was clearly heard, and a surging water line appeared in the field of view. After a while, Zhou Yang saw clearly that countless wolf flags were dancing in the wind, and the Huns lined up in neat battle formations and pressed towards the Han army.

Even though he was an enemy, Zhou Yang would not erase the advantages of the Huns. Yi Zhixie is worthy of being proficient in military tactics. This formation is good, thick and stable. The Huns burst out, their power was astonishing, and the earth was trembling fiercely.

"The warriors of the Great Huns: Han people are hateful, hateful, and even more hateful! The Han people burned the grassland! They burned our parents, the children of the Yan family! They killed our cattle and sheep! The time for revenge is up! Use your bows and arrows to shoot through the chests of the Han people! Use your scimitar to cut off the heads of the Han people!" Yi Zhi waved the scimitar in his hand and shouted loudly: "Utra!"

“Utra!”

“Utra!”

The Huns shouted loudly, their eyes lit up with hatred, and swept towards the Han army like a wind.

The defeat at the hands of the Han army several times certainly made the Huns hate it. However, what really made the Huns unforgettable was the burning of grasslands and the herdsmen and cattle and sheep to death. The grassland was the lifeblood of the Huns, and cattle and sheep were the ancestors of the Huns. It was impossible to let them not hate it.

The Huns had already rushed to the range. Zhou Yang waved the flag in his hand, and the sound of war drums sounded. The Han army's crossbow formation began to show its power, and thousands of crossbows shot at the Huns.

A dense net of arrows covered the Huns, and many deaths and injuries were caused by the Huns.

"Bound formation?"

The crossbow is the nemesis of the Huns. Countless crossbows are used in concentrated use to form crossbow formations, which will bring disaster to the Huns. This is a valuable lesson learned by the Huns in the two Hetao battles and the lives of hundreds of thousands of people.

Yi Zhixie was shocked when he saw it, and then he made a judgment that the Han army had not many crossbows. Although it posed a great threat to him, he was not afraid and rushed over without hesitation.

Of course he didn't know that the Han army had tens of thousands of crossbows. If tens of thousands of crossbows were fired at once, his 50,000 people would suffer heavy casualties.

The crossbow formation is Zhou Yang's last trump card and will not be taken out until the critical moment.

Using a certain number of crossbows to shoot and kill the Huns can not only increase the casualties of the Huns, but will not arouse suspicion of the Huns. It will kill two birds with one stone. The crossbow is a powerful weapon of the Han army, and the Huns know it. If a crossbow is not fired, it will be abnormal and will make the Huns suspicious.

Zhou Yang's plan was very accurate. Sure enough, after a brief surprise, the Huns continued to rush forward.

After the attack of the crossbow formation, the Huns suffered a lot of casualties, and many more corpses appeared on the ground.

When the Huns entered the range of bows and arrows, the Han army archers fired arrows, and with the crossbow arrows, the arrow nets were too dense, and the Huns suffered even more casualties.

Of course, the Huns were also shooting arrows. Cavalry and shooting were the Huns's secret skills, and it was extraordinary. The scene of tens of thousands of people shooting volleys was very amazing. The dense arrows were shocking, and many Han soldiers were injured.

Fortunately, these Han troops have made great progress in archery skills after Li Guang's training. Especially those archers in the clouds have followed Li Guang for the longest time, and their archery skills are definitely not inferior to those of the Huns.

Overall, the Han army had the upper hand, and the cost of the Huns was much higher than that of the Han army.

If Zhou Yang threw all the crossbow formations, then Yi Zhixie's 50,000 troops would have suffered heavy casualties. However, Zhou Yang was not sure to wipe out him. Once he showed his trump card, the consequences would be very serious.

Under the fierce attack of crossbow arrows and arrows, the Xiongnu rushed to the front of the formation, and the formation was already scattered and posed no great threat to the Han army. Yi Zhixie commanded the Xiongnu to withdraw, reorganize the formation, and then rushed towards the Han army.

Now it is just a tentative attack. Whether it succeeds or not is important. Zhou Yang does not send the Han army to stop him from re-arraying.

After the formation was reorganized, Yi Zhixi led the Xiongnu cavalry to rush over. The Han army still dealt with them with crossbows, arrows, and then the two armies intersected. The Han army formed a formation with chariots to block the Xiongnu cavalry. The infantry used halberds or stabbed them with halberds behind the chariots. The archers fired arrows, and the two armies fought hand in hand.

In the sun, the sword lights flashed constantly, and the two armies fought together.

The Huns' chopping and slaughtering were fierce and fierce, and their sword techniques were varied and should not be underestimated. In addition, the Huns were cavalry, so they took advantage of them. The Han army could only rely on chariots to block the Huns' cavalry and rely on the cooperation of chariots and infringes to kill the enemy.

For a time, the two armies were in a stalemate and it was difficult to distinguish between the two armies.

Although Yi Zhixie came to avenge his shame this time, he would not be so arrogant that he defeated the Han army with just 50,000 Xiongnu. This was his expectation.

“Utra!”

Yi Zhi waved his scimitar and slashed and shouted loudly.

“Utra!”

The Huns shouted in unison, and the sounds rose to the sky.

"The Han army is mighty!"

The Han army's battle roar soared into the sky, no less than the long live voice of the Huns.
