Chapter 511: Deviation
According to Cao Liang's plan, the Yue cavalry battalion and the tun cavalry battalion returned to Xiliulin from the north and south directions respectively, and then joined forces with the three infantry battalions to encircle and annihilate the Huns led by Liu Yue.
However, in actual operation, there were some deviations, that is, the Yuecai battalion marched too fast, and the interception of the Huns did not have any effect at all, and the Yuecai battalion only took a little more than half a day to rush to the periphery of Xiliulin.
At this moment, the Tun Cavalry Battalion failed to keep up with the rhythm of the Yue Cavalry Battalion, and Shi Bao also returned to the division for reinforcement as soon as he saw the signal of wolf smoke.
However, on the way, the Tun cavalry battalion also encountered the interception of the Huns, compared with the Yue cavalry battalion, the combat effectiveness of the Tun cavalry battalion was more than a step behind, they and the Hun cavalry fell into a fierce battle, failed to quickly break through the Huns' resistance, so when the Yue cavalry battalion arrived at Xiliulin, the Tun cavalry battalion failed to arrive.
In fact, this is also a normal thing, the cavalry battalion has just been expanded, recruiting a large number of recruits, and the third infantry battalion, has never experienced a battle, although Shi Bao is a fierce general, but he is brave alone, even if he gives birth to three heads and six arms, in the chaos of the army, the role is extremely limited.
Shi Bao can lead such a new army, and the Huns are inseparable, in fact, it is already very good, if it is an ordinary general, leading a new army with no experience to fight, it is strange that he is not anxious.
Deng Ai didn't get Shi Bao's response, he knew that Shi Bao's side couldn't be counted on for the time being, and the Yue cavalry battalion had rushed to the outside of Xiliulin, presumably Liu Yue had already known the news of the failure of Suo Gan's interception, in order to prevent Liu Yue from escaping, Deng Ai immediately made a decision, and immediately led the Yue cavalry battalion to attack the Xiongnu camp.
At this moment, Liu Yue was pouring all his strength into launching an attack on Xiliulin.
Because the Wei army set up multiple defensive positions on the periphery of Xiliulin, the attack of the Hun cavalry was frequently blocked, delayed for a lot of time, and also paid a lot of casualties, which made Liu Yue very angry.
In his opinion, the cavalry attacking the infantry should be crushed, and now the Hun cavalry is attacking with all their might, and they can't break through the Wei army's outer defense line in half a day, and they have also lost a lot of men and horses.
It seems that since the Huns moved south to Bingzhou, they have lived a comfortable life for too long, and have lost the blood of their ancestors, thinking that at the beginning, the Huns crisscrossed the desert steppe and dominated the Gobi outside the Saiwai, how majestic the posture was, the Han infantry in the eyes of the Hun cavalry, but an ant-like existence, which can be eliminated with a snap of a finger.
But now the Huns have not fought for many years, this time the rebellion, although almost all the young and strong have joined the ranks of the rebellion, but when it comes to combat power, it is far from the Hun iron cavalry of the year, although they can barely defeat the Hedong soldiers who came to recruit them, but when they meet the real opponent, they are defeated.
The battle of Pingyang, so that the originally complacent Liu Yue seemed to have been hit in the head, that battle the Huns collapsed on all fronts, and the loss was disgraced, so that after Liu Yue fled back to the base camp, he had the right time, place and conditions, and did not dare to confront the Wei cavalry again, just hiding in the poor ravine, wandering around.
This attack on Xiliulin was also just taking a fancy to the Wei army's infantry and cavalry, and after the cavalry and infantry team that he feared the most were separated by a distance of 100 miles, he made a bold leap and poured out, as if he was trying to make some achievements.
However, the Wei infantry had carefully prepared defensive means in advance, so that the offensive of the Hun cavalry was stagnant, whether it was Brodon attacking from the south, or Mengdu attacking from the north, they were all subject to the defensive positions of the Wei army, and it was difficult to form a breakthrough.
However, encouraging news came from Brodon in the south, who used Han Chinese slaves to fill the pit, and finally broke through the last line of defense of the Wei army and attacked Xiliulin.
This news made Liu Yue also very excited, although it was said that Brodon's methods were not very "humane", but in the eyes of the Huns, Han slaves were not human beings at all, in order to win this battle, not to mention hundreds of Han lives, even if it was hundreds of Hun lives, it was worth it.
Liu Yue didn't care about this at all, as long as he won, he could do whatever he could, and at the same time, Liu Yue also gave an order to Mengdu, so that he could not concoct it, break through the Wei army's defense as soon as possible, and form an encirclement with Brodon against the Wei infantry.
There are not many slaves on Sodu's side, but Brodon's more mature experience still makes Suodu's eyes shine, although his subordinates lack slaves, but there is no shortage of cattle and sheep, if a group of cattle is driven to the battlefield to fill the trenches, the effect must be better than people.
Having made up his mind, Suodu immediately asked his men to bring hundreds of oxen over, and after a whipping, the oxen, which usually seemed to be docile and peaceful, became furious, and ran with joy on all fours, no less fast than mules and horses.
The Wei archers guarding behind the moat saw that the Huns were herding cattle to attack, and hurriedly released arrows to block them.
But the rough skin of these cattle was thick, and although ordinary bows and arrows could hurt them, they could not form fatal wounds, and the oxen after the arrows became even more frenzied, and rushed forward desperately, even if there was a trench in front of them, which could not stop their determination to advance.
So the oxen jumped into the trench one after the other, as if they were crazy, and the scene was completely out of control.
The body of the ox was much larger than the human body, and Brodon quickly filled the ditch to the south with the flesh and blood of a few hundred people, and it can be seen that the trench was not too large in terms of width and depth, and hundreds of cows were like moths to a fire, and the trench was quickly filled.
The cattle rushing from behind directly trampled on the bodies of the cattle in the pit, and rushed to the Wei army's position at high speed.
Suodu took advantage of the situation and led the cavalry to enter behind the herd without a gap, and directly attacked the camp of the Wei army.
Du Pre did not use the same spears as Yanghu to form a formation, but led the army to retreat, relying on the terrain of Xiliulin and the fortifications they had set up before, retreating and resisting step by step.
The terrain of the position in the north of Xiliulin is relatively more complex than that in the south, and the terrain is also higher, and Du Yu made full use of the favorable geographical conditions to block the attack of the Huns and effectively kill and wound the Hun cavalry.
The entire northern position soon fell into a dog-tooth situation, and the battle was extremely fierce. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "The Last Three Kingdoms 2: Xingwei Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
