Chapter 19: Shocking Bloody Battle (1)

The Huns spread over the sky and drowned out in a radius of dozens of miles. The momentum was shocking.

The Huns were carrying bows and arrows, with scimitars hanging on their waists, and lined up in neat battle formations, full of murderous aura. Although they were far away, the murderous aura had already hit them, and Zhou Yang and the others could clearly feel it.

"This Hou Chan'er is really determined!" Li Guang laughed happily: "If it were a few years ago, we would naturally not be able to deal with it. Now, the more he fights to the deaths and injuries of the Huns, the more he suffers!"

"We are eager!" Gongsun He echoed.

Today's Huns have good orders and constraints, and have used the Han Dynasty's military strategy and have a strict formation, and their momentum is very different. The same 200,000 Huns have a much stronger reputation than a few years ago.

The Huns stopped more than ten miles from the Han army camp and began to set up camp.

"Master, we can seize the opportunity to attack." Gongsun Jian couldn't wait, his eyes flashed with a strange light: "It's been seven years, seven years!"

Although seven years are not long, it was a long process for those passionate patriots who were determined to defeat the Huns.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Huns had not yet established a stable foothold and launched a decisive attack, this is indeed a good idea and is well versed in military affairs.

However, Zhou Yang shook his head, pointed at the Huns, and said, "No chance!"

Hou Chan'er led tens of thousands of Xiongnu and formed a formation in front of the camp. Needless to think about it, it was to be guarding against the attack of the Han army.

"This Hou Chaner is meticulous! What a pity, he is a general of the Huns!" Li Guang first exclaimed, then felt very regretful.

Hou Chan'er is indeed a good general, but unfortunately he is the enemy. How great would it be if he was a general of the Han army.

"It's a pity!" Zhou Yang nodded slightly, his voice suddenly turned cold: "The more this happens, the more Hou Chan'er will die!"

"Don't worry, Magistrate, just leave Hou Chan'er to me!" Li Guang had already held the big yellow bow in his hand.

The Huns formed a formation very quickly, and there was not much time before they set up camp. A strong village outside stood up, guarding the camp like an iron bucket. The tents in the camp were one after another, and they could not see at first sight. The tents were lined up, lined up in a row, orderly, and the roads were crisscrossed. If one place was attacked, reinforcements would be immediately received.

"Haha!" Gongsun He pointed to the Xiongnu's camp and suddenly burst into laughter: "Didn't the Xiongnu scold us, saying this is a sheep pen? Why did the Xiongnu live in the sheep pen by themselves?"

When the Han army set up camp, they must have to set up camps. The Huns did not have this habit. The Huns always mocked the Han army's camp, which was a sheep pen. The Han people were timid and lived in the sheep pen. The Huns were wolves on the grassland and disdained to live in the sheep pen.

In that battle a few years ago, the Huns also set up villages under the strict order of the military minister Shanyu. Although the villages were very simple, they had to take measures after suffering a lot. Hou Chaner set up camp this time, when the Huns arrived, they raised the villages and protected the entire camp, not giving the Han army a chance to attack. This was the first time in the history of the Huns. This shows that the Huns were truly brave and could not make any laughs at Gongsun He.

"When did the Huns become timid sheep? They are no longer wolves on the grassland?" Li Guang held his beard and smiled very happily, but he was ridiculed.

"If the lives of hundreds of thousands of people are not changed at all by the Huns, it would be a strange thing!" Wei Qing's view was different, but he hit the nail on the head.

As soon as the Huns camp stood up, the Huns army drove in in groups, and Hou Chaner was the last to enter the camp. From beginning to end, Hou Chaner was careful and refused to give the Han army a chance to attack. The generals were dissatisfied again.

"Let's go, let's discuss and discuss how to fight this battle!" Zhou Yang turned around and strided towards the commander's tent.

Before each war, Zhou Yang would listen to the meaning of the generals and find the best tactics and tactics. The generals followed Zhou Yang to the commander's tent, and each found a seat to kneel down.

Zhou Yang ordered, and the soldiers brought tea. Zhou Yang glanced at the generals, but saw the generals' eyes flashing with a fierce fighting spirit, and the fighting spirit soared into the sky. He was very satisfied: "You all talk about how to fight this battle."

"Master, in my opinion, in this battle, although we have good combat power, after all, there are only 100,000 troops, and Hou Chan'er has 200,000 elite troops." As soon as he talked about the serious matter, Li Guang became a different person, with a stern face and a smile on his face disappeared: "Although in the battle a few days ago, nearly 10,000 Huns died in battle, and 12,000 injured, 10,000 lost combat power. Now, Hou Chan'er has 186,700 troops that can fight, almost twice ours, and this battle must be a tough battle."

"The Flying General is right!" Gongsun He agreed very much: "The Huns not only have the military strength far exceeding us. Moreover, the Huns' Eastern Expedition this time was to conquer the Donghu and restore their strength, which was just to fight rabbits. By the way, the Huns' real intention was to lead the Han Dynasty to the hinterland of the Donghu and fight with the Han Dynasty. One was to clear the humiliation, the second was to weaken the Han Dynasty, and the third was to restrain the Han Dynasty from the Donghu and prepare for the upcoming war."

It is true that the fundamental purpose of the Xiongnu sending troops to the Donghu this time is to create more favorable conditions for the upcoming Han-Huns Battle. If the Donghu land is taken over, the Xiongnu's territory will be more vast, with more mouths, more cattle, sheep, and more horses, and more string control personnel, and the strength of the Xiongnu will be restored.

If the Donghu land was taken over, the border between the Huns and Han would be longer, exceeding ten thousand miles. This was a heavy burden for the Han Dynasty and it was difficult to defend.

For the Huns, there was no guarding of the city walls, and the border was also grassland. Even if the Han army wanted to disturb them, at most they would kill some herdsmen and plunder some cattle and sheep, which would not cause any loss to the Huns.

For the Han Dynasty, the border was full of towns, villages and pastoral areas, and it was necessary to defend it. If it was to defend it, how many soldiers would it take? How much financial resources would it take?

More importantly, it can attract the Han army to the hinterland of the Donghu, take advantage of the Xiongnu's advantages to defeat the Han army, or even wipe out all of them, which will be of great benefit to the upcoming Han-Xionna War.

This is the conclusion drawn by Zhou Yang and Zhufu Yan and others after analyzing the situation. They were already familiar with Li Guang and the others. When they heard it again, they were still frightened and couldn't help but curse a few words.

"Besides, Hou Chan'er was defeated the day before yesterday and held back his resentment. He must be dissatisfied. He would drive the Huns to engage in a bloody battle. Therefore, this battle was extremely tragic." Gongsun He's voice suddenly rose: "Haha! The more this happens, the more casualties the Huns are, and we must not miss the opportunity to annihilate the Huns!"

"Well said!" Gongsun Jian loudly agreed: "Didn't the Shanyu use blood oath to inspire the Huns to fight with the Han blood? So what happened? The Huns were killed and injured, and how many of them escaped 500,000 Huns?"

"Haha!" During the Great Wall Battle, the military minister Shanyu had to use blood to inspire the Huns when he surrounded the Han army. The Huns were not afraid of death and charged one after another. However, in the face of the dense crossbow formations of the Han army, any effort was futile.

At that time, the Han army mainly relied on crossbow formations to kill the enemy, and the cavalry and soldiers were not opponents of the Huns. Today, the Han army already has three powerful weapons: Modao, crossbow formation, and cavalry. The cooperation of the three types of troops was a terrifying meat grinder, which was enough to crush the Huns into pieces. When the Huns rushed up, they would die.

The prospect is really wonderful, and Li Guang and the others will not be happy.

"Although you are talking about the truth, this is not a way to break the enemy!" Zhou Yang's face was somber, and Li Guang and the others' laughter came to an abrupt end: "What we want to discuss is how to fight this battle with the Huns."

"This..." Li Guang thought, "Master, I think that Hou Chan'er will definitely send an army to test us. We will take this opportunity to annihilate the Huns and attack the morale of the Huns."

"Well! This idea is good, I will agree!" Gongsun He nodded.

When the two armies faced each other, they first sent a small group of troops to test and touch the other party's bottom. This is the conventional way of fighting in ancient wars.

"The first test, if the Huns are defeated, they will send more troops to test to save face. It will not be until Hou Chan'er thinks that the time for the decisive battle is ripe, and they will fight us in a decisive battle! By then, the Huns will lose again and again, their morale will be low, their morale will be unstable, and their losses will be heavy. It is impossible to be undefeated." Gongsun Jianyu agreed with this statement.

Everyone talked about you and I started discussing it in one word.

"Master General, Mr. Zhang is here." Zhao Ponu quickly stepped in and reported to Zhou Yang.

Mr. Zhang was mentioned by him because although Zhang Biqi was in charge of the incorporation and governance of Donghu under the order of Zhou Yang, he had no official position yet and could only be called Mr.

"Second Uncle?" Zhou Yangda was very happy and said, "Please please, please!"

Zhang Piqi had no official position and was a commoner. However, his reputation was very high. The people present admired him very much, so they stood up and followed Zhou Yang out to greet him.

"No need to be so polite!" Before Zhou Yang and the others took a few steps, they saw Zhang Piqi and Zhang Busi step in quickly.

Zhang Piqi wore a curved skirt and a deep dress, and was full of immortality. He was energetic and had a smile on his face, which was very kind.

Zhang Buyi smiled and looked at Zhou Yang and Zhang Tong from time to time. One was his beloved grandson and the other was his beloved grandson-in-law. He couldn't help but not pay attention.

"Second Uncle, why are you here?" Zhang Tong stepped forward to greet him and asked curiously.

As soon as the Han army entered the territory of Donghu, they destroyed the Donghu and wiped out the Wuhuan, and they gained a lot of rewards and had many things to do. They had to leave it to Zhang Piqi to deal with. Who told him to be the best at this? Therefore, Zhang Piqi has never been in the army, but in the rear.

"How many times can I encounter such a big battle in my life? How can I not come?" Zhang Piqi replied with a smile.

This happened, Zhou Yang nodded slightly, asked Zhang Piqi and Zhang Buyi to sit down, and said with a smile: "Second Uncle, we are discussing how to fight this battle, and I would like to ask for more advice from the second uncle."

Zhang Piqi was extremely talented and proficient in strategies and listened to his opinions. This battle was of great benefit. Jiana was good at speaking and was always the rule that Zhou Yang followed. This was a whole story of Zhou Yang's undefeated command of his troops. Naturally, he would not miss Zhang Piqi.

"The Grand Marshal is so serious." Zhang Piqiang took the tea from the soldiers and drank it while saying, "What are you talking about? Can I listen?"

"The Second Uncle wants to listen, what's wrong?" Zhou Yang briefly said the generals' views: "The Second Uncle thinks, how should this battle be fought?"

"Haha!" Zhang Piqiang looked Zhou Yang for a moment and said with a smile: "The coach is confident, why ask me?"

"I have some ideas, but isn't it better to be able to listen to your ideas?" Before every war, Zhou Yang was confident. Despite this, he still had to listen to the opinions of the generals and improve them.

"Okay! Those who are generals must listen to their subordinates' words and choose good things to accept them in order to be invincible." Zhang Piqiang nodded and praised, and changed his tone: "What the Fei General and the others said are ordinary fighting styles. If I expected it, Hou Chan'er would not fight like this!"

"This..." Li Guang and the others were surprised and looked at Zhang Piqiang in surprise.

"If I were Hou Chan'er, I would have a day and a half to rest for a day to recover, and then all the elite troops would come out to fight to the death with the general. There would be no need to do the test." Zhang Piqiang's eyes flashed.

"Why?" Gongsun He Da was puzzled: "Hou Chaner came with anger and was determined to avenge his shame. If we cannot find out our combat power, it will be of no benefit to him. Hou Chaner is a good general and will not misunderstand this principle."

"Yes! Yes!" Li Guang and the others agreed in unison.

"The whole reason is nothing else, it's because the Huns can't help our crossbow formation!" Wei Qing, who had not spoken, spoke up to Li Guang and the others to relieve their doubts.

Modao, light cavalry, and crossbow formation are the three powerful weapons of the Han army. Among these three powerful weapons, the most powerful one is the crossbow formation. Once the crossbow formation exerts its power, it will definitely destroy the world. Not to mention the Huns, even the Han army with excellent protection capabilities will not dare to snatch its edge, because the powerful crossbow can fully penetrate the iron armor of the Han army.

Hou Chan'er had fought a battle with the Han cavalry and had experienced the power of the Han cavalry, which was really difficult to deal with. However, compared with the Han crossbow formation, the Han cavalry was relatively easy to pay. At least the Huns could win by relying on their military strength. If they were against the crossbow formation, the Huns would not have any power to fight back at all, and they could only give the massacre.

As for Mo Dao, the Huns had never seen any great things. Although they received some sporadic information, they did not know the specific situation. They dare not do anything, they would not be more difficult to deal with than crossbow formations, right?

If we fight according to normal circumstances and conduct some tests first, it would be like delivering vegetables to the Han army. After delivering a few dishes, Hou Chaner's military strength advantage would become smaller and smaller, which would be very unfavorable to him.

If Hou Chaner wants to win this battle, he can only rely on his military strength. Instead of delivering vegetables to the Han army, it is better to rush forward and defeat the Han army with its military strength advantage.

More importantly, based on the combat power of the Han cavalry, the combat power of the Han army is far better than before, and it will lose a lot of troops every time it fights. This has a great blow to the morale of the army, and Hou Chaner has no need to worry about it.

As soon as Zhou Yang explained, Li Guang and the others suddenly realized. Li Guang stroked his forehead and pondered: "If the Huns rushed forward, it would be really difficult to deal with. In addition, the Huns were fighting hard, this battle would be difficult!"

How powerful the Huns were in the Great Wall Battle, the Han army had experienced it and created a high price for the Han army. Hou Chan'er would definitely drive the Huns to fight to the death, and there was no suspense.

"Haha!" Zhang Piqiang smiled: "Don't worry, the general is clear, and he has his own way to solve it."

"We'll fight like this!" Zhou Yang smiled and said his thoughts.

"This?" Li Guang, Gongsun He, Gongsun Jian, Qin Yi, Qin Wuhui, Zhang Tong and others all opened their eyes wide and were unbelievable.

Even Zhang Piqiang and Wei Qing looked at Zhou Yang in disbelief.

"Since ancient times, there has been no such way of playing!" Li Guang and the others said in surprise.

In the Huns camp, in Hou Chan'er's big tent, a group of generals sat around. Hou Chan'er sat in the main seat, with a lamb leg and a leather bag of horse breasts in front of him. Hou Chan'er ate meat and drank horse breasts in big mouthfuls. He was so happy.

The generals fought against the mutton, horse breasts, and oil and water splashed everywhere.

Although Ahu'er was a little prince of the Huns, his style of conduct was somewhat similar to that of the Han people. He did not eat and drink as much as Hou Chaner. He drank slowly: "King Zuo Guli, how should we fight this battle?"

"Stay first! Please eat, drink, and sleep well. Let your brothers fight Zhou Yang early tomorrow morning." Hou Chaner pulled off a piece of mutton, stuffed it into his mouth, and started chewing it.

"King Zuo Guli, although the Han people are hateful, their combat power is extraordinary. We can't defeat ten thousand Han cavalry for 30,000. Should we send troops to test it first?" Ahu'er pondered: "I heard that the Han army has a large sword, which is very impressive, but I have never seen it use it. If we don't understand the truth, wouldn't we suffer a loss?"

Modao was used when pacifying Suiyang and collecting Baiyue. It was impossible to avoid leaking any information. For Modao, the Huns had heard a lot and only knew it was very heavy. As for how to use it, they had no idea at all.

Ahu'er was a safe method, and the generals agreed in unison: "Yes, King Zuo Guli! The great war in the past was that the Great Huns did not know that the Han army had crossbow formations, so they suffered a great loss."

In the great war in the past, the Han army kept leaving the crossbow formation until the end, which caused the unknown Xiongnu to suffer a great loss and a great defeat that had not been seen for decades. These Xiongnu generals still remembered it vividly.

"No matter how powerful the big sword is, it will not be more powerful than the crossbow formation!" Hou Chan'er's voice was very loud and his voice was very high: "As long as there is no crossbow formation, why should we be afraid of it? The most difficult thing to deal with is the Han army's crossbow formation. If there is no elite force, how can we beat it?"

How powerful the Han army's crossbow formation is, the Huns will never forget it for the rest of their lives or ten lives. It is unsolvable. How many people are gone and how many people die. When they hear this, the generals are speechless.

"Since King Zuo Guli has decided, I don't know how to fight this battle?" Ahu'er said in contemplation.

"We have all the elite troops, and Zhou Yang must be the entire army to fight. As long as they leave the camp, we can send some troops to restrain the crossbow formation, and then send elite warriors to surround the Han army from behind." Hou Chan'er's tiger eyes flashed brightly, as bright as the scorching sun above the nine heavens: "The Han army has always used cavalry to protect both wings, and the weakest behind it. Zhou Yang's front must be a crossbow formation. As long as we break through the back of the Han army, we can take down the crossbow formation."

I have to say that Hou Chan'er has a good idea. The crossbow formation is a powerful weapon for long-range killing. Once the Huns get closer, they will not be able to exert their power and will be broken.

"Good way!" Ahu'er nodded constantly: "We can also send a large army to attack the two wings, so that Zhou Yang will not be able to send troops to reinforce the back. Although the Han army's cavalry has good combat power, it is not a problem for us to restrain him."

"Ha ha!"
