Chapter 733: The Attack Is Blocked

By this time, the battle had been going on for almost an hour, and the Xiongnu army was blocked in front of the defense line of the Dai army, suffering heavy casualties, and the number of dead had exceeded that of yesterday's battle, but this time the leaders of the Xiongnu tribes had no intention of stopping the battle.

In yesterday's battle, the Hun army was blocked by the side of the trench, and there was still more than ten steps away from the defense line of the Dai army, although they paid the heavy price of casualties, but they could not advance forward, and the leaders of the tribes could not bear such losses.

And now the situation is different, after yesterday's adjustment, the Hun army broke through the trenches, and finally approached the defense line of the Dai army, and launched an attack on the defense line of the Dai army, on the surface, it is indeed only one step away from breaking through the defense line of the Dai army, such a result of course makes the tribal leaders feel satisfied, thinking that the price paid for achieving such a result is absolutely worth it. At the same time, they also regained confidence in Fu Gongyan, after all, today's adjustment of the Xiongnu army is a decision made by Fu Gongyan, and in the battle of war, it is not that no one questioned it. But the result is the best proof that the war has been going on now, and the tribal leaders have stopped talking.

Fu Gongyan's heart also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, although Fu Gongyan has always been a confident man, but in fact there is no bottom in his heart, after all, leading the army is not Fu Gongyan's forte, because after yesterday's battle, Fu Gongyan also had to admit in his heart that he did have a certain deficiency in this regard, who would have thought that the army would use a trench to block the attack of the Hun army? Although Fu Gongyan has made certain adjustments, it is difficult to say whether it is useful or not, how much effect it can play, and whether there are other means for the army.

To be honest, when he went to war, Fu Gongyan's heart was also beating a drum, if he could not make a breakthrough in today's battle, his reputation among the Huns would be greatly reduced, and I am afraid that it would be difficult to mobilize the Hun army in the future.

And the war has been going on so far, the Hun army has broken through the trenches and directly attacked the defense line of the Dai army according to the adjustment and arrangement of Fu Gongyan, and has made a big breakthrough, so Fu Gongyan not only calmed down, but also greatly expanded his confidence, thinking that his military talent is not under the plateau, of course, it is far beyond Han Teng. Now that he has broken through the trenches, as long as he breaks through the defense line of the Dai army, he can achieve the final victory in this battle, kill the plateau, get rid of the biggest enemy of the Jiuli tribe, and subdue the Xiongnu tribe, and when he returns to the Jiuli tribe, he is not comparable to the time he left.

Although the Xiongnu army is now blocked in the offensive line of the Dai army, and there are heavy casualties, Fu Gongyan, who is confident, does not think that it has encountered any major problems, one is that the defense line of the Dai army has been carefully prepared, and the Dai army will do its best to defend, of course, it is impossible to be broken so easily; Second, the first batch of 5,000 Hun troops had been fighting fiercely for almost an hour, and most of them had been consumed in terms of body and sharpness, so it was reasonable that they could not attack the defense line of the Dai army. In Fu Gongyan's view, as long as a group of Xiongnu troops is replaced, and then according to their own methods of breaking through the trenches, it is not difficult to break through the defense line of the Dai army.

So Fu Gongyan immediately built a yì to Maodun, immediately withdrew the Xiongnu army that was now attacking, and replaced it with a group of new troops to attack the defense line of the Dai army, and at the same time insisted that some Xiongnu soldiers dismount and fight.

Neither Fu Gongyan nor the tribal leaders knew that the Hun army was able to break through the trenches, but in fact, the Dai army deliberately collected its strength and did not go all out to defend the trenches, the purpose was to induce the Hun army to attack with all its might, otherwise the Hun army would never be able to break through the trenches calmly.

Therefore, now Mao Dun and the tribal leaders are also greatly confident, and at the same time, they are convinced of Fu Gongyan again, and everyone else also thinks that if they want to break through the defense line of the Dai army, they can reap the spoils of war, so they all unanimously agreed to Fu Gongyan's construction, and immediately ordered the troops to be collected. In order not to give the Dai army a chance to breathe, and also to prevent the Dai army from having the opportunity to collect bows and arrows on the battlefield, Fu Gongyan decided not to wait for the men and horses of the first attack to completely withdraw, so he ordered the second group of Xiongnu troops to start attacking to maintain continuous pressure on the Dai army.

And the optimism about the progress of the war was not only Fu Gongyan, Mao Dun and the tribal leaders, but even the ordinary Xiongnu soldiers were infected. Originally, when the troops were first dispatched, everyone was uncertain about this battle, the first batch of attacking Hun troops were forced to fight, and the second batch of Hun troops were secretly happy, at least they didn't have to die first; And after seeing that the first batch of Hun troops broke through the trenches and directly attacked the defense line of the Dai army, they were very annoyed, because the heavy reward promised by Mao Dun was still effective, and now the first batch of Xiongnu troops to fight directly attacked the defense line of the Dai army, so Mao Dun's heavy reward will definitely not be his turn; And now the first batch of Xiongnu troops did not break through the defense line of the Dai army, it was the turn of the second group of Xiongnu troops to attack, it seems that there is still hope for Maoton's heavy reward, so the second batch of Xiongnu troops is naturally excited, and immediately rushed to the defense line of the Dai army.

In order to compete for the heavy prize of Maudun, the soldiers of the second batch of Xiongnu army all fought bravely, one by one, regardless of the formation formation, the cavalry spread their horses, not only threw off the Hun soldiers who fought under the foot, and rushed forward, but also competed with each other for the first place, for fear that they were one step later than their companions, and they were not the first to break through into the camp of the Dai army.

Only the Hun soldiers who attacked the defense line of the Dai army on the battlefield knew that Mao Dun's heavy reward was not easy to take, although he attacked the front of the defense line of the Dai army, it was difficult to leap a step at all, either he was pierced immediately after hitting the rejection, or he was hit by the bow and arrow crossbow arrows shot by the Dai army, and he could only fall in front of the defense line in a row. And now that they heard the horn of the withdrawal of the army, the attacking Hun soldiers immediately turned their heads and retreated like a tide of amnesty.

It is very difficult to switch between attack and defense on the battlefield, because when the battle is still ongoing, because the attacking and retreating armies can easily block each other's routes, rush and push each other, and generally speaking, the retreating armies will scatter to both sides, avoiding the routes of the attacking army; The attacking army will also leave several passages in the formation to allow the retreating army to pass through guò.

However, this is easy to say, but it is not easy to implement, and only the army that is well-trained and has considerable experience in actual combat can grasp the proportions of it, and even in the armies of various countries in China, in the process of changing offense and defense, chaos often occurs. Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, it is generally necessary to wait for all the retreating troops to retreat before the attacking army is thrown into battle.

The Hun army did not go through the systematic training of offensive and defensive transformation, and in the battles of the various parts of the steppe, it was not that there was no offensive and defensive transformation, but the Xiongnu army basically followed the feeling, and did not have an orderly action plan, sometimes it did well, sometimes it did poorly, and it was all resigned to fate.

And this time the luck of the Hun army was obviously not good, mainly because at this time both sides of the advance and retreat were in a hurry, the attacking army was in a hurry to compete for the reward, and the retreating army was in a hurry to retreat to safety, so no one thought about letting anyone, and the result was certainly conceivable.

The cavalry of both sides first hedged up, the war horses collided with each other, and suddenly people turned over on their backs, even if there were a few soldiers with superb riding skills, controlling the war horses to move and dodge, but in the hedging of thousands of war horses, it basically did not play much role, even if they could dodge a few, but there was a bunch of them behind, and there was no way to dodge at all. At the same time, there are also many war horses stepping on the trap, because at this time, whether it is attacking or defending the Hun army is beating horses and galloping, the war horses stepped on the trap, naturally they suddenly stumbled and fell, people stumbled on horses, horses trampled people, and suddenly became a mess. Soon after, the infantry followed, and the scene became even more chaotic. People and horses squeezed each other, pushed and rubbed, and trampled, and many Hun soldiers even saw each other with swords and fought fiercely.

Of course, the army will not be idle at this time, while sending a part of the soldiers to jump out of the defense line to collect bows and arrows, while also desperately opening bows and arrows to the hun army huddled together, at this time the Hun army is very dense, as long as the general direction is correct, at least seven or eight out of ten arrows must be hit, so the Hun soldiers are almost shot down and killed.

Fu Gongyan, Mao Dun, and the leaders of the tribes did not expect such an unexpected thing to happen, although some of the tribal leaders were so anxious that they stomped their feet, but at this time, no one had anything but to let the Xiongnu army on the battlefield adjust themselves.

And Fu Gongyan also secretly regretted it in his heart, he knew that it would be like this, he should have let the first batch of troops completely retreat first, and then send the second batch of troops to attack, and there would not be much delay in the middle, even if the army sent people out, they couldn't collect many bows and arrows.

In fact, not only Fu Gongyan, even the plateau did not expect that the Hun army would make such a mistake, if you are prepared in advance, send an army to attack, you can take advantage of the chaos of the Hun army, defeat the Hun army in one fell swoop, but now the Fan Yong army is not in the camp, the rest of the army is not good at pursuit, and the plateau has already had a plan to defeat the Hun army, so even if you give up this opportunity, it is not a pity, the plateau did not care too much, just let some soldiers jump out of the defense lineto collect bows and arrows. Although the bows and arrows of the Dai army are very abundant now, arrows are a large number of consumables, so naturally the more the better.

Fortunately, the number of Hun troops on the battlefield is not too much, and both sides are not in the mood to do too much entanglement, they just want to get rid of each other and do their own things, so it only took more than ten minutes to disperse, the second group of troops attacked forward, and the first group of troops retreated.
