This place is located in the northwest of Shangdang County, in the territory of Nie County, and is within the reach of the remaining veins of the mountains of Zhuer Mountain, Hujia Mountain, etc. The clear water originates from the mountains, and in a slightly gentle terrain draws an arc from north to west, and then turns to the east, where the river channel is open, and a large tidal flat spreads to the east bank. Under the dense cloudy sky, the withered yellow reeds, about a man's height, could not be seen at a glance, forming a natural protection for the flanks of both armies.

Between the tidal flats and reeds and the hills and cliffs of Hujia Mountain, a small plain has been vacated. This is the battlefield chosen by both sides.

When the lazy sun was still hovering on the horizon, three thousand soldiers of the Jin army were already standing here. Some of them were defeated a few months ago, and some were new recruits who had just joined the army, and they were not fully armoured and had a variety of weapons. Although they tried their best to keep the ranks in order, the occasional clutter revealed the nervousness of many soldiers. Facing the Huns like wolves and tigers so soon, many soldiers were not mentally prepared.

Liu Kun didn't seem to have the upcoming battle in mind at all. Today, he wore a luxurious brocade robe in addition to his armor and rode a horse to stand in the Chinese army. He controlled his horse with one hand, leisurely tapping the saddle with his whip, occasionally glancing at the loose Hun army formation opposite.

At the same time, Liu Jing, the general of the Huns, was also looking at the military formation of the Jin people, and after looking at it for a long time, he anxiously turned his horse around, whipped a few lazy soldiers, and scolded viciously: "You despicable little rabbits, quickly wind the bow!" Hold the scimitar steady! Who dares not to work hard for a while, Lao Tzu hacked him alive! ”

In the distance, I don't know which soldier answered loudly: "The Jin people's army is afraid of us, and they are more cowardly than sheep in battle." All we have to do is use the strength of the sheep to deal with them! The soldiers laughed.

Liu Jing deliberately scolded a few words in a loud voice, and then stopped caring about them. He was in a very bad mood for the past year, and only felt comfortable and at ease when he scolded unscrupulously among the soldiers.

Over the years, he has fought alone in the east and west for the great support of the plow, and has made great achievements; When Shan Yu officially launched an army against the Jin Dynasty, he was named the general of the Jin Dynasty, as if he was a first-class general outside his relatives, and his honor was unmatched. However, this qiē changed after the early summer of last year. The campaign against the Jin court was carried out very smoothly, and it conquered Liyang, Yanjin and other places, and the capture of Jin men, women, and children was about tens of thousands, and it is impossible to count. If it's tens of thousands of cattle, it's fine, and tens of thousands of people follow like this, how can they fight? Liu Jing couldn't bear it, so he simply led people to push all these captives into the rolling Yellow River. The ancestors often did this on the steppe, and after defeating the other tribes, the tribesmen were killed who were taller than the wheels. Liu Jing felt that he was really happy.

Who knows, after Da Dan Yu learned about this, he was actually thunderous, and immediately sent a messenger to rebuke Liu Jing angrily, saying something: What Da Shan Yu wants to destroy is just the people of the Sima family; Ordinary people are not guilty, how can they do harm?

Liu Jing couldn't figure it out. What is this? Isn't the emperor of the Jin people surnamed Sima? If you don't kill all the Jin people, how can you eliminate the emperor surnamed Sima? Da Shan Yu's career is becoming more and more prosperous, but his thoughts are becoming more and more strange. Maybe it's because Da Dan Yu lived in the capital of the Jin people for too long when he was young and learned too many strange things about the Han people.

Since then, Liu Jing has never had the opportunity to lead the troops in battle alone. This time, Da Dan Yu waved his army straight down to Hedong, and only ordered Liu Jing to lead the troops composed of miscellaneous hus from all over the country to stay in the cities of Jinzhong, and Liu Jing didn't know how depressed he was.

This time, when he learned that the Han army was coming, he was as excited as a beast that smelled blood, and he hurriedly gathered the men and horses scattered all over the country. However, where was it so easy for the teams scattered in many cities and villages to gather, although Liu Jing was in a hurry, he still arrived three days slower than expected. And it was during these three days that he faced an enemy that turned from a rabble into a massively sized army.

"Uncle!" A sharp voice sounded in his ears, and a young warrior urged his horse to Liu Jing's side: "The senior official of the Jin people on the opposite side is wearing so conspicuously on the battlefield, is he stupid?" Send me to the vanguard, watch me level the enemy army, and kill that guy with a sword! ”

This young man is Liu Jing's nephew, and he has always been loved by Liu Jing. He is like the Huns who galloped in the grassland in the era of Mao Dun Shan Yu, fierce and full of vitality, unlike those Hun officials who are now around Da Danyu, all of whom are as cowardly as the Han people.

Liu Jing looked at the military formation of the Jin people opposite. Behind the brightly armored Jin army general was a plain banner with the word "Liu". Liu Jing rubbed his bearded broad chin vigorously and thought about it, but he didn't remember who was surnamed Liu among the generals of the Jin army in Bingzhou. He hesitated for a moment, then ordered: "Well, you take three hundred light horsemen to rush!" If the enemy falters, I will immediately lead a large army to cover up and kill him. If the enemy does not move, flank you and fire your arrows, and I will answer you. ”

Mi replied loudly, "Yes!" With the sound of a sharp bone flute, three hundred Hun cavalry immediately rushed out with him.

After the Hu people moved inward, almost all of them changed from pure nomads to semi-nomadic people who cultivated and pastored. Therefore, except for the Hun cavalry, which was less than 1,000 people, the rest of this army were all foot soldiers. If it weren't for Liu Jing's deep confidence in his nephew's bravery, he would not have lightly handed over more than thirty percent of the elite cavalry of the entire army to him to lead.

The two armies were only a few hundred paces apart, and the Hun cavalry galloped on horseback, and in a blink of an eye they rushed through more than half of the distance. They shouted and shouted on their horses, wielding heavy weapons such as hammers and broadswords with terrifying sounds; According to other experience, most of the Jin army would have fled in panic at this time, and the Hun cavalry happened to rush in.

But the Jin army in front of him is different from the usual! Their line did not waver in the slightest, and as the order sounded, hundreds of spears held high were laid down, shining sharp edges were layered on top of each other, and the entire front suddenly became like a hedgehog.

Mi sneered, even if the well-trained Jin army would never be the opponent of the elite of the Huns; He didn't know how many times he had defeated such a dense infantry formation. He was a battle-hardened warrior who had carefully observed the terrain of the battlefield before leading his troops to charge. In front of the Jin army on the right side is a strange rocky slope, connected to the wide reeds on the right. This was a good terrain for the infantry to fight against the cavalry, but it was not conducive to the galloping of the cavalry. So he shouted, turned to the left with his cavalry, and advanced in a direction parallel to the Jin line.

Lowering the horse's gallop slightly, Mitsuya reached out and removed the long-tip horned bow he was carrying. At this time, three hundred cavalrymen almost simultaneously opened their bows and arrows, which is exactly the running technique that the Huns rely on to crisscross the grassland! At this distance, such a Hun marksman can almost hit a hundred hundred, and the spear foot soldiers of the Jin army are just targets.

Mi has already set his eyes on the Jin official who is surrounded by many soldiers. He was about to open his bow when he suddenly exclaimed.

On the left side of the Jin camp, directly in front of the slowed Hun cavalry. The Jin people's foot soldiers parted to the sides like a wave. A cavalry like a hideous beast suddenly appeared, they were wearing heavy armor, horses covered with iron armor, holding six large lances, in the thunderous sound of horse hooves straight into the Hun cavalry team!

This heavy cavalry must have been very carefully hidden behind the overlapping banners, and none of the Huns were aware of it before they were killed. Mi, who rushed to the front of the team, felt that it was dark in front of him, and his vision was completely occupied by the ironclad cavalry.

The Xiongnu invited the Jin people to attack the foot soldiers with light horses, and what they played was just an old trick of the steppe peoples and the army of the Central Dynasty for thousands of years. And the Jin people will make a plan, and shake the light cavalry of the Huns with heavy horses!

This time, the Huns immediately fell into passivity. The few Xi people who rushed to the front didn't even have time to exclaim, and they had been knocked off their horses by the galloping Jin army armor cavalry, and they were immediately trampled into meat mud.

After all, he is an extremely elite Hun warrior, although in adversity, he still fights unremittingly. He raised his arrow, and hit the door of a Jin cavalryman. At the same time, dozens of Huns who reacted quickly also released arrows one after another, but they were not as accurate, and most of the arrows were directly bounced off by the heavy armor.

How fast is it for two cavalry to hedge against each other? The Jin people approached instantly. And many Hu people didn't even take out their melee weapons until the two groups of men and horses were staggered together.

Before he could take the knife, several long lances stabbed straight at him wrapped in a strong wind. With a loud roar, he threw the horned bow away, and then put his hands around the horse's neck, and turned under the horse's belly. The two cavalry hedged so quickly, and in a short period of time, the Jin cavalry swept past him and continued to rush forward.

In the blink of an eye, he rubbed his body and passed under the horse's belly, and sat on the horse's back again from the other side of the horse, this series of movements relied purely on the strength of his arms and waist and abdomen, and he was as flexible as an ape, and anyone who saw it would have to applaud. As soon as he shook his backhand, there was more Dawson Han's light in his palm, and in the blink of an eye, he identified an extremely fierce sword-wielding Jin cavalry, urging the horse to rush over.

It was Wang Xiu who wielded the knife to kill the Quartet, and the horse chopping knife in his hand weighed more than 40 catties, and every time he made a knife, there would be a Hun who fell off the horse miserably. Seeing that Mi was rampage, Wang Xiuwu slashed with his knife. Who knew that with a soft sound of "bell", the steel horse chopping knife in Wang Xiu's hand was cut off like tofu, and a short knife with cold light appeared in the palm of the Huns opposite, and it went straight to Wang Xiu's chest without delay!

Seeing that the blade was only a few inches away from Wang Xiu, the corners of Mi's mouth had already shown a hideous smile, but who knew that the wind suddenly blew in his ears, and it was obvious that someone had made a long weapon stab! Mi didn't care about killing and injuring Wang Xiu, and reflexively swung his knife to block it. The knife in his hand seems to be short, but it is really a high-grade treasure knife selected from countless trophies, and it is enough to sharpen iron like clay, and it is expected that weapons such as guns, lances, and halberds will inevitably be cut in two.

Unexpectedly, the spear turned out to be alive, and in an instant, it changed several angles to avoid the dancing blade, and the head of the spear slammed heavily into his chest. It's a light move, but it's surprisingly powerful. Even though the clatter and cracking sound was still clear in the roar of the horse's hooves on the ground, I don't know how many sternums were broken, and I immediately spurted blood and fell from the horse.

The one who can make the spear so agile and correct is naturally 6 Yao. His family marksmanship is indeed unpredictable, and he used the spear away, and seven or eight Hu people were killed in a moment. This Hu man who fell to the ground was actually the first to force him to change his tricks. 6 Haruka glanced coldly at Ya Ya, who had fallen to the ground, and saw that his fur hat was decorated with white feathers, and that he was a famous man known for his bravery; However, under the impact of the heavy cavalry, there was only one way to die.

Wang Xiu knew that he had turned around at the Ghost Gate, and only shouted: "Daoming! Thank you for saving your life! ”

6 Yao didn't have time to pay attention to it, and continued to stand up for the impact.
