Chapter 792: Multiple Choices
Ignite the flame of hope, the spark has just come out, and there is no time to rejoice, but the spark is blown a little bit and is extinguished, what a terrible bastard thing it must be, it is better not to have any hope in the first place.
Mao Dun, who didn't have the luxury of expecting Touman to send reinforcements, first saw the reinforcements sent by Touman, and a trace of emotion flashed in his heart, and then he pinched off the inner emotion not long after, thinking about calculating that the reinforcements sent by Touman stopped the Han army, so that they could avoid being too tired to fight, and the idea of calculation worked, and it was a matter of course for the Han army to move, but the reinforcements sent by Touman turned around and retreated!
Li Liang naturally also saw that the 30,000 Hu cavalry in the northwest direction were turning around and retreating, and for a while, his brain was a little dull, and he thought in his heart, "What's the situation?" "These four words come.
When something too unexpected happens, people will always think about the conspiracy for the first time, Yu Fanjun saw his cavalry approaching a small group of Hu cavalry, and the large group of Hu cavalry actually made an unexpected retreat move, and shouted to Li Liang hesitantly for a moment: "Squire!" â
The roar of the galloping horse's hooves reached Li Liang's ears, and he looked at Yu Fanjun with a hesitant expression.
Yu Fanjun pulled his throat: "Will there be fraud in it?" â
The Maodun Department is more than ten miles away from the Huyan Shilan Department, and the terrain of the site is mostly concave, and some sections even have mountain bags, which cannot be seen at a glance like a plain with a radius of dozens of miles.
"Shouldn't it? Unless there is a god in the enemy army who can predict the prophet, how can the enemy know that our army will appear here and set up an ambush in such a large area? "Li Liang probably has about half an hour left.
Is this an encounter? It doesn't seem to be exactly an encounter!
The Maudun Department is changing direction. After Li Liang saw it, he looked at the 30,000 Hu cavalry again, and found that the distance between the two Hu cavalry was getting farther and farther.
The situation is a bit weird, but judging from the reaction of the two Hu horses. How do you look at it, it doesn't look like there is a conspiracy, but more like a kind of appearance that stems from incompatibility and waits for each other to see a joke?
Li Liangyou has a special understanding of the habits of the grassland Hu people, and he knows that the relationship between Touman and Mao Dun is very weak, the reason is that Tou Man likes Ji Tuo more, so he even made the decision to send Mao Dun to the side of the Qiu Yue clan as a hostage, the reason is that Tou Man wants to take over the position of the king of the Xiongnu and the tribes Shan Yu by his youngest son Ji Tuo after a hundred years.
There is also intelligence from the Han Kingdom that Mao Dun has been committed to developing his strength, and he has also shown his outstanding talents in some things. Morton has shown its worth. For this reason, he befriended many tribal leaders. For example, the 20,000 cavalry that Maodun brought to the Western Regions some time ago, these cavalry were made up by various tribes for Maoton.
Maudun's actions in the Western Regions were very good, and he led his army to the east and west to conquer and plunder a lot of supplies and slaves in the Western Regions. even used good communication skills to gather a group of ethnic groups that migrated from west to east as allies, so does it mean that Mao Dun is too good and makes Touman jealous?
Li Liang needed to make a decision immediately, whether to miss the confrontation so much, or to follow the change of direction and chase after Mao Dun's department.
"Just missed it. It's hard to explain when you go back! Li Liang's heart was extremely entangled.
Let's put it bluntly. Li Liang became the commander of this 10,000-strong cavalry is a favor specially sold by Sima Xin, in other words, this military operation will not affect the overall situation, Sima Xin also created a zĂ o opportunity to let Li Liang be gilded, and after discovering the interception target, he did nothing and went back, what would others think?
Pursuit? Although it is a preliminary judgment that the two Hu horses are not compatible, who can say clearly that it is not an illusion made by the Hu people for some conspiracy!
"Squire? Squire! â
A roar made Li Liang grit his teeth, and suddenly decided that he should fight each other, but he really couldn't just run away from the horse's hooves. The same is that the cavalry has strong mobility, and it is not so easy for the Hu cavalry to surround even if he wants to.
"Chase!"
The Han army pursued. Did they go after the eldest prince Maudun? Huyan Shilan originally thought that the Han army would break away directly, after all, the numerical advantage of the Hun camp on the scene was very obvious, but the Han army ignored their 30,000 cavalry and chased after the Maodun department!
"Arrogant!!"
Huyan Shilan was ordered by Touman, saying that it was good for Mao Dun to stay by and watch when he was fighting with the enemy, but the posture of the Han army was too arrogant, making people feel contempt, and a fire was about to erupt from his heart to his mouth.
Mao Dun, who was making a detour to the left, also saw the Han army chasing over, he subconsciously looked at Huyan Shilan's side, and found that the army sent by Touman was still maintaining a retreat maneuver, and his heart was instantly shrouded in boundless dark clouds, and his whole mind was thundering with lightning and thunder.
"Good, great, very good!"
The roots of Maoton's teeth crunched because of the grinding force of the bite, and he knew that Touman didn't like him, but he never expected to be ruthless to this extent.
"So...... Can't blame me......" What kind of decision did Mao Dun, who had been hesitating and hesitating before, seem to have made? He gave the order to blow the trumpet, and the direction changed again.
Mao Dun had just made a decision, but his hideous face became stunned because he saw Huyan Shilan's order to turn the horse's head.
Huyan Shilan was adjusting the direction of the army, 10,000 of the 30,000 Hu cavalry became facing the direction that Mao Dun would inevitably pass through in a small detour, and the other 20,000 Hu cavalry were scattered to the left and right flanks of the Han army to make a trap maneuver.
Mao Dun's stunned was because seeing Huyan Shilan's actions made him wonder if his decision was made too early. He had already decided that once he could get out safely, he would not go to see Touman, but would only contact the tribes who had made friends at the source of the Yellow River, and then set out together to go to the Western Regions, and finally left Touman to block the Han army, and they looked for a way back to the grassland from the Western Regions.
A series of changes made Li conscience pop up again, "What's the situation?" These four words, the whispered muttering of his mouth was muffled by the sound of horses' hooves......
How can this be! Isn't it that the two Hu riders don't get along? The development of things should be that the 30,000-scale Hu cavalry is to sit back and watch the Han army attack about 3,000 Hu cavalry, how can things take a sharp turn when the Han army is about to catch up!
"Turn-turn-turn!"
The situation is so weird that it can't be seen. What kind of chase is this, it is better to run for nothing than to be caught by a few Hu Qi bags, Li Liang's choice is before the situation does not get worse. Be a big husband who can afford to put it down.
The Han army was turning, apparently giving up the chase to get away, and Mao Dun also fell into hesitation after discovering this situation.
Mao Dun came back from the Western Regions with only 5,000 subordinates, and had lost more than half of his previous battles with the Han and Qin coalition forces, and for him with less than 30,000 direct subordinates, the losses could be called heavy, and the losses were still the most elite ones.
"Do you want to turn around and intercept the Han army?" There wasn't much time for Maudun to think.
If Maudun decides to intercept. According to the distance between them and the Han army, they can definitely intercept the next part, but the interception can only slow down the Han army for a short time, and then it should depend on whether Huyan Shilan will really rush to help. If the follow-up Hu Qi joins the confrontation. Relying on the advantage of numbers will definitely be able to bite a big bite of the Han army, but once Huyan Shilan suddenly does not rush to help, the joy of this group of tired soldiers will definitely be great.
Mao Dun's choice was: "Let's also turn around and drag this Han army!" â
This is the second time that the situation on the battlefield has changed. The turn of the Maudon Department was certainly not done in an instant. After all, they had been driving straight in one direction, and they needed to have a detour to turn. Mao Dun ordered to turn, and the Han army was also making a detour, and what the cavalry of the two different camps were doing was that the leading cavalry changed to the cavalry behind, and the result was that the two teams were drawing a half-bend picture, and the periphery was a Hu cavalry of 10,000 each approaching rapidly.
The change in the battle situation made Li Liang nervous, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
As long as there are generals of the Han army who have entered the military academy for further study, they may not be able to make a judgment on grand strategy, but they can become a member of the military and be able to judge the immediate changes in the battlefield.
When Li Liang discovered that the Maudun headquarters had changed from being pursued to intercepting. There are already two judgments on the next situation, which is nothing more than that the Han army was dragged down and the Han army successfully broke away. And it seems to be according to the distance and roundabout position of the two armies. Li Liang judged that whether or not he made an immediate turn, the Han army had a better chance of being stopped?
The next situation is chase and chase, and the picture is just replaced by the Han army becoming the object of pursuit, the grass on this land is overturned under the rampage of the war horses, and the ground becomes soft as a plough under the trampling of the horses' hooves.
It has always been the Han army that has been within 300 meters of the headquarters of Maudun, and the two thousand Han army archbow and crossbow cavalry have moved to the direction where Maudun is located in the gallop.
"Bang Bang - Bang Bang!"
"Bang Bang - Bang Bang!"
"Bang Bang - Bang Bang!"
Hu Qi is no stranger to the sound of bangzi, whenever the army of Chinese civilization is ringing such a sound, it is a notice before the Chinese army is doing archery.
The two sides gradually approached within 250 meters, and the sound of bangzi on the side of the Han army changed to "Bangbang tie-" and "Bang!" The rhythm of the first three sounds is relatively gentle, and the last "tie" is a great effort in the percussion.
Looking from the direction of Mao Dun's headquarters, it can already be seen that the Han army's archers are doing the action of pulling arrows and pulling lines, and each Han army archer is moderately tilting their bodies slightly, and Zhang Cheng's full moon riding bow and arrow are aimed at them.
Why did Maudun hate fighting with the Han army? It is because every military operation on the Han side has a set of rules that seem to be very powerful against the enemy, and it seems that what kind of reaction to face is carefully calculated, and the soldiers can see a very strict stereotyped shadow.
For soldiers in the army, stereotype is not a derogatory term. In some ways, the stereotype of the soldier is to observe discipline and emphasize military discipline, so that any order given to an army will be done in the same way, giving people a sense of momentum and oppression brought by looking neat and orderly.
Mao Dun turned his head to look at the approaching reinforcements, as if he had made some painful determination, and called his subordinates to continue to approach the Han army, and the result was that it was about 180 meters closer to the Han army, and the sound of bangzi on the Han army's side no longer had a sense of rhythm, it was purely a noisy "bang" endless noise, and then a dark cloud "floated" in the Han army and rushed towards them.
The Han army's archery is to take a certain amount of advance, in professional terms, that is, the Han army archers predicted the direction of the Maudun Division, giving the arrows shot out enough time to fly, and the position of the arrows shooting at the time of the fall just happened to be the Maudun Division's will also arrive at that position, this tactical action is called "anti-shooting", which is a necessary subject for the Han Army in the training of archers.
At a distance of one hundred and eighty meters, from the archery to the arrow losing its forward momentum and falling, the bow of the Han army archer cavalry is a stone bow, and the flight speed of the feather arrow should be about forty-five meters per second, and the initial velocity, flying speed, and falling speed are calculated uniformly, and the entire flying process will be maintained for about four seconds.
Of course, the distance between the Han army and the Maudun department is in a posture of approaching each other, minus the distance between the two cavalry approaching each other, in fact, from the Han army's archery to the fall of the feather arrow, the process will definitely not exceed three seconds.
The area covered by a thousand feathered arrows is not too wide, and due to the interference of wind and other factors and the error tolerance rate of the archers, not every Han archer can shoot arrows to the desired position according to the prediction, and even if they hit the desired position, not every arrow will bring damage.
Under the first wave of arrows of the Han army, about twenty or thirty people fell from the arrows. They were hit by another wave before they approached within eighty meters of the Han army, and this time more than 100 people fell. Approaching eighty meters, the Maudun unit began to shoot back, and this mutual fire was as the distance was drawn closer, and the number of arrows on both sides increased.
As the cavalry of two different camps fired at each other, the horn sounded incessantly to remind the cavalry of certain signals, but the sound of the horn of the nomads was relatively bleaker than that of the Han army, and the rhythm of the blowing was also different.
If you get rid of the roar of the horses' hooves, you can definitely hear a series of commands from the Han army, such as "crossbow cavalry prepares-" and "elevation angle of twenty-five degrees-", followed by "seventy ...... away from the enemy" Sixty ...... away from the enemy The visual distance from the enemy's ...... decreases every ten meters, until it is forty meters away from the enemy, the crossbow cavalry of the Han army is like a cactus that shoots spikes, and in the "boom" sound of repeatedly shooting crossbow arrows from the crossbow, the cavalry of the Maodun department is like hitting an invisible wall of air, and the Hu cavalry running in front of him falls one after another, which is the kind of planting with people and horses!
"......" Huyan Shilan was stunned: "That...... That one...... What kind of weapons did the Han army use? (To be continued......)
