Where are the reinforcements that Zhang Cang said? They're here......

This is the southwest direction outside the battlefield between Zhang Cang and Mao Dun, and the distance between the two places is about fifteen miles, and at this time, tens of thousands of cavalry from two different camps on the land here are facing each other about ten miles away......

Touman learned of this shortly after Morton headed east. As the king of the Xiongnu and the alliance of various ethnic groups Shan Yu, Touman was very angry that Mao Dun led his army to the east without a report, he had been waiting for Mao Dun to bring the representatives of the various ethnic groups who moved east, waiting to discuss the alliance with the representatives of the various ethnic groups who moved eastward, but Mao Dun actually returned from the Western Regions and did not bring the representatives of the various ethnic groups to see, he felt that his authority was offended.

During this difficult period of time when the Hu army went south, Mao Dun originally did a lot of beautiful things that Touman admired, but as soon as his image turned good, because he felt that his authority was not respected, Touman recalled all kinds of memories that he didn't like for that eldest son.

The law on the grassland is that under a certain bloodline permission, whoever is strong will be the head wolf, how can Tou Man not see that Mao Dun has the ambition to be the head wolf, and this time the situation is special, he should also beat Mao Dun no matter what, and at the same time, it is also to show the representatives of the various ethnic groups who have migrated eastward to show the strong side of the Xiongnu King and the tribal alliance Shan Yu.

For the purpose of Touman's desire to show his strength, more than 10,000 relatively well-equipped and warlike elites, plus about 20,000 cavalry of non-Xiongnu tribes, were ordered to chase after Maudun.

The army of about 30,000 Hu people was about two hours later than the time when Maudun went east, and they actually didn't know exactly the route of Maudun's march, and it was not until they approached the Han and Qin military camps that came from the south to the north within 30 miles that they found some traces of Maudun's march, but they did not see the shadow of Maudun's headquarters.

Beforehand, Touman had ordered that the 30,000 troops should not get too close to the Han and Qin coalition forces, after all, the time was not yet ripe for a big war, and if the war started now. The Han and Qin coalition forces had a large number of infantry troops who could participate in the battle immediately, and it was not yet time for the Hu people to give up the cavalry battle to conduct foot combat when the mating and conception of the war horses on the Hu people's side were not yet ready to be checked.

It is also destined in the dark, the 10,000 Han cavalry who went out from the Han-Qin coalition camp wanted to block Mao Dun's return route, so the 10,000 Han cavalry were selectively detoured, and the choice of route happened to meet the 30,000 Hu cavalry sent by Touman.

Leaving the camp and leaving the wilderness, whether it was the cavalry on the Han side or the Touman side, they all understood the importance of releasing the sentry cavalry, but things were often full of strange terrain, in that multi-basin area. The scouts they sent out were that the two armies approached each other within sixteen miles of each other before discovering each other, and by the time the scouts on both sides had returned to report to each other, the two armies were already able to see each other.

The commander of this 10,000-strong cavalry was Li Liang, and his deputy was Yu Fanjun.

Li Liang was not the general of the 13th Army Order, but temporarily served as a commander under Sima Xin's orders.

Sima Xin was the supreme commander of the Han army in the north, and he had every right to temporarily appoint a battlefield commander. Li Liang is Lu Zhe's sworn brother, and after Lu Zhe's many operations, Lu Zhe's deliberate cultivation of Li Liang is something that can be seen by the high-level of the Han Kingdom, and Sima Xin can be regarded as making such an appointment out of the factor of selling favors.

Who is Yu Fanjun? He is a native of Lujiang and Chu, and he organized his own armed forces when the world was in turmoil. He also served under Huan Chu, and during this period, he defected to Liu Bang, and only became a member of the Han army when Liu Bang surrendered to the Han State in Pengcheng. He was originally a military marquis of the garrison army in Nanling, and went to the assessment when the Wehrmacht formed a new cavalry corps. He had enough strength and the influence of Lu Ze, his brother Lu Ze, so he entered the 13th Cavalry Corps very smoothly, and because of his previous achievements and excellent assessment results, he directly became a captain.

Having said that, Lu Ze and Yu Fanjun met because of a not very glorious thing. The reason was that Lu Ze observed that Lu Pheasant paid too much attention to Liu Bang, and Lu Ze got acquainted with Yu Fanjun in order to find out Liu Bang's details.

Originally, it was to carry out an interception mission, but the result was that the interception object had not yet touched it, but another enemy force was discovered. For a moment, Li Liang couldn't help but suspect that it was a trap deliberately set by the Hu people, but when he found out that the enemy army did not rush up immediately after discovering his side, it was the same as hesitation, and the suspicion in his heart about whether the Hu people deliberately set the trap was lightened.

"Squire, the number of enemy troops is about 30,000, and we can't see it clearly because it's too far away, so we ......"

"Hmm!"

Should there be a battle, Li Liang hesitated slightly, he brought 6,000 assault soldiers, 1,000 scattered cavalry, 3,000 crossbow cavalry, and faced 30,000 Hu cavalry who did not know the details. In addition, they received an order to intercept an enemy force of about 5,000 people, and interception was the first task, and everything else was secondary.

"Select the scattered cavalry to return to the camp for a briefing!"

"No!"

To make the necessary response, the two sides are still so far away, Li Liang also issued an order to let the cavalry dismount and rest, after all, whether it is to engage or not, it is imperative for the knight to take the necessary rest and change horses.

On the other hand? found that the Hu side of the nearly 10,000 Han army, and the commander appointed by Touman was also Huyan Shilan, the commander of the Huns, and the surprise in his heart was no less than that of Li Liang. They were looking for Mao Dun, Mao Dun did not look for it but ran into the Han army, it is conceivable that the Han army must have discovered Mao Dun, it is very likely that Mao Dun is fighting with the Han army, and the Han army that appeared here wants to outflank Mao Dun's back road?

"All dismounted!" Huyan Shilan is not a stupid person, and he galloped all the way, whether he wanted to fight or not, at least let the soldiers relieve their fatigue. After he finished giving the order, he said to a few people who seemed to be the leaders next to him: "Prince Maodun must have been discovered by the Han army, what should we do with the Han army here now?" ”

There was no way, it was not all the troops of the Xiongnu tribe who came, and Huyan Shilan could not make decisions in the form of orders, and needed the consent of those leaders who were not Xiongnu to make certain decisions.

"Shan Yu's order is for us to pick up Prince Maudun and bring the representatives of the tribes who have migrated from the west to see him." The general of the Bract tribe said playfully.

The corpse is a surname of the Xiongnu, after the Wuhu Chaohua, almost to the Xianbei into the Central Plains, the Northern Wei Xiaowen Emperor period of reform...... That is, the beginning of Xianbei's comprehensive self-sinicization. In that historical period of time, many Hu people also followed Xianbei for sinicization, and many Hu people changed their surnames to conform to Chinese civilization, such as the corpse chase, which was changed to the surname "Shi", and Qiu Lin was changed to the surname "Qiao". Chou changed to the surname "Zhou", Lonely changed to the surname "Liu" and so on. As for the surname in the surname, the Hu people also retained their own "clan", but it was retained on the women's side, and the "clan" system of the Hu people was completely disintegrated in the later intermarriage, after all, in Chinese history, women married men for a period of time to take the husband's surname, and the surnames of the children born were also subject to the paternal line.

The habitat of this tribe is probably in Siberia in modern Russia, which is considered the northwestern steppe of the current Chinese system according to its geographical location.

It is true that the refraction currently belongs to the Xiongnu camp, but in a fundamental sense, it is not the Xiongnu themselves, and it will not be until the Xiongnu fully rise. Refraction and Hun Yu, Shan Kun, Salary Plow...... Many ethnic groups and tribes on the grassland were completely annexed by the Xiongnu, and then they were classified as Xiongnu themselves.

Several tribal leaders who came with their troops also said something similar to that of corpses, even if they gained any benefits from this southward invasion, they were also consumed under the persecution of the follow-up Han army, and they fell into an embarrassment instead of any benefits, you can imagine what kind of mood they are in. Then they can avoid losses, naturally they must try their best to avoid them, and they will take the initiative to fight when they encounter the Han army without fighting.

After hearing this, Huyan Shilan did not oppose although he was extremely unhappy, the Xiongnu were not strong enough to be arbitrarily arrogant, it was the Xiongnu who gathered a large group of grassland tribes to invade the south. The result is to make a disgrace, and then those who are not from the Xiongnu clan need to contribute a lot, but they dare not drive too much.

Neither of the two armies, for whatever reason, rushed to attack, and the result was a situation in which the two sides stayed where they were from a distance of more than ten miles. However, they all did about the same thing during this time, sending people to the rear to report and looking for traces of Maudun's department.

The situation changed when the Han army was the first to discover that the Maudun station was approaching in this direction, and Li Liang received information from the scouts that there were less than 3,500 of the five or six thousand Maudun troops left. To be specific to how many people are still there, unless they are queuing up to report the number, it is simply wishful thinking, and can only be a rough estimate.

It was almost not long after the Han army discovered the Maodun Division. Huyan Shilan also got relevant news here.

"If I'm not mistaken, the cavalry of the eldest prince's subordinates connecting those ethnic groups who moved east originally had 6,500 horsemen?" Huyan Shilan was a little surprised, and his surprise naturally had a reason.

Under normal circumstances, the five thousand cavalry of Mao Dun can suppress the twenty or thirty thousand cavalry under the same alliance, and the cavalry under the command of Mao Dun can achieve a difference of more than five times when fighting in the Western Regions, and the strength can still occupy an advantageous position, but it is such an absolute elite army among the Hu people who went around the Han and Qin coalition forces, and when they reappeared, it was almost half, how could they not surprise those Hu people who knew the details of Mao Dun.

"The headquarters of the eldest prince is five thousand, and the other fifteen hundred or so are cavalry of various ethnic groups moving east." Su Buqiu from the Hutu Department used a puzzled tone: "How many people did Han Qin's side send to fight the eldest prince?" It must be more than five times more! ”

The Hugh Tu Department has always been friendly with Mao Dun, and some of the cavalry under Mao Dun is still a gift from the leader of the Hugh Tu Department, and in some respects the stronger Maudun's army, the more the Hugh Tu Department feels face, and naturally it is more to send troops to Han and Qin to fight with Mao Dun.

The Hu people are talking about it, but the Han army is in a dilemma.

The interception target appeared, but there was an extra army of about 30,000 Hu cavalry to stay by, so if Li Liang chose to start a war, he would have to face a total of more than 33,000 enemy troops, and it was an enemy army in two directions, and he didn't think it was a good thing.

Yu Fanjun obviously felt that the situation was not so good: "If we start a war with the enemy army in any direction, we will face a surprise attack from the enemy army from the other direction......

"Hmm......" Li Liang groaned for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Let the robes change into well-bodied war horses, and we will charge straight towards the interception target, and we will kill as many as we can, and after staggering and chiseling, we will not make any stops, and directly disengage." ”

Yu Fanjun's expression was stunned for a moment, and then he also smiled.

It is impossible to say that they will make a long-distance detour in the face of more than 30,000 enemy troops, after all, they are all cavalry, and there is no advantage in long-distance detour, so it is better to choose to directly crash into the Maudun department on the way back.

"Since it's coming, what a pity not to fight?" Li Liang's tone seemed very relaxed, as if he was going to have a happy play.

The commander's relaxed demeanor made the rest of the Han army officers smile, and they didn't know what would happen after a long detour, so they simply took the initiative to make a sharp point.

As a temporary adjutant, that is, the cavalry captain of the 13th Army Corps, Yu Fanjun knew very well that the decision made by Li Liang was the best decision in the current situation, so he naturally conveyed the military order.

The 10,000 Han cavalry remounted their horses, and the 30,000 Hu cavalry, who had been paying attention from a distance, naturally discovered and reacted, and the Maudun Division, which was galloping from southeast to northwest, also discovered the two armies in front.

There is no surprise that there will be a detour of the Han army. They fought there for at least an hour, and the Han reinforcements did not appear, so of course they went to outflank the rear road. Maudon was surprised that Touman would send troops to meet him, and for a moment he felt a little moved by his father, who usually didn't treat him very well, but he was soon expelled with emotion, and he considered how to let the troops sent by Touman block the guns, so that their tired cavalry would avoid fatigue and fighting.

Of course, Mao Dun didn't know that Touman had sent troops purely to demonstrate, and he didn't have time to think about them, and the 10,000 or so Han troops in front of him were blowing the horn of "Woo Woo Woo", and after moving, it was obvious that the spearhead was aimed at them.

"Prince, ...... we?"

"Take a detour to the left!"

"Prince, don't we move closer to the reinforcements that Shan Yu has sent?"

Mao Dun was originally going to get closer, but when he saw that the reinforcements in the distance were not forcing the Han army, he didn't know how much he gritted his teeth in his heart. (To be continued......)
