Chapter 714: After the Break (II)
Gao Yuan smiled: "It seems that the Huns are a little unbreathable, if they attack like this, it is not beneficial to us, I want to send someone to challenge them, so that they can be dragged down, which of you goes?" ”
At this time, Shui Xinyue said: "I'll go, I've been on your side for so long, I always have to have a little appearance, anyway, they won't recognize me, let me fight this time." ”
Gao Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, of course it's best for you to go." ”
Shui Xinyue stopped talking, shook the reins lightly, and the horse opened its four hooves and trotted forward. After running more than 100 steps, Shui Xinyue took the war horse, pulled out the sword, and pointed in the direction of the Xiongnu army. Although she didn't speak, the meaning was very obvious, that is, like the Hun army launched a challenge.
The Hun army suddenly had a commotion, because Shui Xinyue was dressed in a military uniform, wearing a helmet and armor, and still covering her face, so she couldn't see that she was a woman, but she went out to challenge alone, and this courage should not be underestimated. The Xiongnu were a martial and warlike people, so naturally they could not show weakness.
Sure enough, I saw that the Hun army also rushed out of a yellow horse, the knight on horseback was a man about forty years old, not tall, bald head without a hat, the hair on the forehead and the top of the head was shaved clean, leaving only a small handful of hair on the back of the head, obliquely draped in a piece of animal skin, revealing half of the shoulder, the muscles were swollen, the contours were distinct, the green tendons were raised, and suddenly appeared, with a palm-wide cowhide belt tied around the waist, bronze buttons, a curved bow on the left, a quiver on the right, a scimitar on the waist, and a spear in the hand, The horse rushed towards Shui Xinyue.
After his appearance, it immediately caused a burst of cheers from the Hun soldiers. And the war horse also ran faster and faster, and the Hun warrior on horseback held a spear and pointed at Shui Xinyue.
When the Hun warriors were less than thirty steps away from him, Shui Xinyue tapped the horse's belly with her toes and urged the horse to move forward again. Although Shui Xinyue's horse is a green horse that the plateau temporarily gave her to ride, her skills are good, and she uses new horse furniture, plus the war horses of the Dai army have also undergone the necessary training, so after riding for a few days, she can basically control the war horse freely.
The two war horses hedged against each other, and in the blink of an eye, the Hun soldiers who went out of the battle raised their guns with one hand and stabbed at Shui Xinyue, and Shui Xinyue did not dodge or dodge, swung the sword and slashed, the sword blade was just cut on the tip of the spear, the Hun soldier only felt that a thin gossamer came from the hand holding the spear, and the whole arm was like being pricked by a needle, from the arm to the body, and couldn't help but snort miserably, spurting out a mouthful of blood, and the whole person leaned back and fell from the back of the horse.
The Hun soldiers were silent for a while, the soldier who appeared just now was a well-known warrior among the Hun tribes, and he knew that he died under Shui Xinyue's sword with only one photo, although most people didn't even see what was going on, but it still caused a palpitation.
Shui Xinyue took the war horse, circled it back, and pointed the sword at the Hun army again.
And the Huns naturally refused to admit defeat, so two more Hun soldiers went to war, but they all died under Shui Xinyue's sword without exception, and all of them were killed by a face, after all, with Shui Xinyue's strength, it was not difficult to defeat the Hun soldiers at all.
The failure of three people in a row to challenge Shui Xinyue brought a lot of shock to the Hun army, and no one dared to fight for a while, and after a long period of time, there was another Hun soldier who jumped out of the battle, but he did not bring weapons such as guns and knives, and held a curved bow, and pulled the bowstring to Shui Xinyuexu, obviously because he had no bottom about his riding ability, and wanted to compete with Shui Xinyue in archery.
Shui Xinyue was slightly surprised, she was not afraid of the opponent's archery, but although her martial arts can be regarded as a super-first-class realm, but in terms of riding and archery skills, it is obviously inferior to the Huns, and she does not bring a bow and arrow, but Shui Xinyue estimates that even if the opponent uses a bow and arrow, it may be difficult to shoot herself. But since the opponent uses a bow and arrow, he will definitely distance himself from him, so that he still wants to defeat the opponent as easily as in the first three games, but it is not easy, after all, his equestrian skills are not as good as the opponent's, and he also has to prevent the opponent from shooting his own warhorse. Therefore, it is really difficult to say whether this battle will be won or lost.
And just when Shui Xinyue hesitated, he only heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and turned his head to see that it was Ah Ran Shi Qi Ce who came immediately, and he didn't have any other weapons in his hand, only a bow. Apparently to take over the battle.
It turned out that Shui Xinyue won three battles in a row, and the army was naturally greatly inspired, and at the same time, it also aroused the belligerent heart of other soldiers, although they didn't know Shui Xinyue's true identity, but they all knew that she was just a girl, so naturally she couldn't lag behind. At this time, someone in the Hun formation came out of the battle, and he wanted to compare his archery skills with Shui Xinyue, and Ah Ran Shi Qi suddenly couldn't help but itch, so he immediately asked for battle on the plateau.
Gao Yuan knows that although Shui Xinyue's martial arts are high, but his archery skills are definitely not very good, Ah Ran Shi Qiqian is willing to appear to replace Shui Xinyue, naturally it is no better, because in terms of archery, among the Dai army, Ah Ran Shi Qimo is second to none, sitting firmly in the first place, and he is the most suitable person to take over this battle. Therefore, he immediately agreed to let Ah Ran Shi beg to fight.
And seeing someone take over, Shui Xinyue was naturally happy, anyway, she won three games in a row, which was worthy of the plateau, and she was not sure about this battle, so she would leave it to others. So he immediately rode his horse back, and crossed the wrong horse with Ah Ranshi Beggar Mo, and returned to the formation.
Gao Yuan smiled: "It's hard work." ”
Shui Xinyue said lightly: "It's nothing? These battles are all trivial, nothing, since we cooperate, I should also take action. ”
While they were talking, Ah Ran Shi Qimo also came to the front of the battle, and was about thirty paces away from the Hun soldier who had gone out of the battle, standing on his side with his war horse. Neither of them had any other weapons, except for a curved bow and a pot of feathered arrows. The distance of thirty paces, of course, is within the range of the bow and arrow, so at this time both sides are within the range of the other's strike.
The two men held each other for a while, and almost at the same time urged their horses to run in a circle in the direction of the clock, and both of them immediately drew their arrows from their quivers, put them on the bowstrings, and shot at each other as fast as they could.
This kind of competition can be said to be very dangerous, because the range, distance, and direction are the same for both sides, and no one can take advantage of it, and not only to shoot the opponent, but also to dodge the arrows shot by the opponent, so not only to compete with the skills of both sides, but also to have the courage, who has a fast rate of fire, who has high accuracy, and will be able to win.
For a while, the horse's hooves rose and fell, the bowstring moved, and the sound of breaking the sky was endless, and the two war horses ran in circles like marquees, stirring up countless smoke and dust, and arrows flew back and forth like meteors, and the battle was very fierce.
However, the two war horses have not finished two laps, only to hear a miserable scream, the Hun soldiers who went out of the battle fell down the war horses, the lower abdomen, the left shoulder, and the chest each had a feather arrow inserted, and they struggled on the ground for a few struggles, and died immediately. And his horse did not feel that his master had fallen off his horse, and ran for most of the lap before stopping.
Suddenly there was a burst of enthusiastic cheers in the army formation, and the Hun army was depressed, morale was extremely low, if the first three formations were compared to the cavalry battle, the Huns were not defeated and understandable, but the last round of comparison was the Huns' most proud cavalry and archery skills, the result was still lost, and the blow to the Huns was naturally not small.
Gao Yuan, of course, did not miss this opportunity and immediately gave the order to launch an attack on the Xiongnu army. After receiving the order, the three hundred heavily armored cavalry immediately urged their horses to move, held their spears, and rushed towards the Xiongnu army.
Although there were only 300 horsemen, the men and horses were all wearing heavy armor, and the people were tall and the horses were big, and the power of the charge was still very amazing, and the morale of the Hun soldiers was low at this time, but after all, they were brave and warlike by nature, so they still urged the horses to meet the battle. However, it can be seen from the plateau that although the Xiongnu army is numerous, it has been completely overwhelmed by the Dai army in terms of momentum. So there's nothing to be afraid of.
Although the light cavalry and the heavy cavalry confronted each other head-on, they were certainly not opponents, not to mention that the vast majority of the Hun soldiers did not even have leather armor, and they belonged to the cavalry that could not be lighter. However, it is not impossible to make up for it with numbers, but now because the morale of the Xiongnu army is not high, and it lacks the courage to move forward and the determination to fight to the death, it is naturally impossible to resist the strong charge of the heavy armored cavalry.
The heavy armored cavalry of the Dai army was like a huge grinding plate, running through the array of the Hun army, mercilessly crushing the Huns who were blocking the front. Then 300 Fan Yong troops followed up from both flanks, only to kill the Hun soldiers lying in ambush all over the ground, and the blood flowed like a river.
As a result, the Dai army only used one charge to defeat the Xiongnu army, and it was completely defeated, so they had to scatter and retreat, and all fled from the battlefield after a while. The whole battle ended in less than twenty minutes.
In fact, the number of casualties of the Xiongnu army at this time was not much, and only two or three hundred people were killed, which was not considered a wound at all, but now the Xiongnu army did not have the courage to fight to the death with the Dai army, so the result was only a quick defeat. In addition, before the Hun army set off again, the order it got was not to fight to the death with the Dai army, but as long as it stared at the Dai army, naturally there was no need to fight hard, and it was not anything to retreat temporarily.
Seeing that the Hun army was defeated and retreated, Gao Yuan did not order to lead the army to chase, after all, this time the battle was just to break the rear of the large number of men and horses, in case the Hun army pursued subsequently, to ensure the safety of the retreat, and now it seems that this goal has been completely achieved, so it is not meaningful to pursue the Hun army again, killing and wounding a few more Hun soldiers.
So Gao Yuan immediately ordered the whole army to retreat from the battlefield, chase the brigade, and then rush together to join the Bailing tribe and prepare to meet the Xiongnu army.
