Chapter 657: Ambush Shan Yu (3)
Seeing that the time was ripe, Mao Dun immediately instigated the soldiers, and now, there is no other way, everyone can only risk their lives, and Tou Mandanyu's army to fight to the death, if you can defeat Tou Mandanyu's army, and kill Tou Mandanyu, everyone will be able to fight a way out.
The Xiongnu nation was originally a fierce and warlike nation, usually like to use force to solve the things encountered, and rarely consider other methods, plus some of Maoton's cronies mixed with the soldiers to agitate and respond, for Maoton's momentum, so after listening to Maoton's incitement, most of the Xiongnu soldiers were agitated, and they all expressed their willingness to obey Maoton's orders, and the army of Touman Danyu decisive battle, even if there are a few people who feel that something is not quite right, but now the crowd is dying, And they have always been absolutely obedient to Maudun's orders, and they dare not have any disobedience, and they dare not say anything at this time.
Seeing that the army was all instigated by himself, Mao Dun ordered to lay an ambush on both sides of the valley mouth of the Jiashan Gorge, preparing to ambush the army of Touman Danyu.
If you want to set up an ambush on the cliff, the terrain is indeed more dangerous, but one is how people go up the cliff, and the other is how people go up the cliff, and how to rush down after people go up, so the location of the ambush is not as dangerous as possible, but also suitable for ambush. In addition, this is the end of the Jiashan Gorge, at this time all the troops of Touman Danyu entered the valley, as long as the valley mouth was sealed with stones, it was difficult for the Xiongnu army to escape.
In order to ensure that Tou Mandan took this passage, Mao Dun specially sent people to cross the Jiashan Gorge to urge Tou Mandan to speed up the march, and of course, it was also to lead Tou Mandan to take the Jiashan Gorge. At the same time, it was also a letter to Fu Hu Luo, who was still in the Xiongnu army, so that Fu Hu Luo could prepare and cooperate with Mao Dun's ambush after entering the valley. After all, Maudun had less than 3,000 men under his command, and it was impossible to ambush all the troops of Toumandan.
As a result, Tou Mandan Yu really walked the Jiashan Gorge, and Mao Dun also prepared a lot of stones at the mouth of the valley, and when Tou Mandan Yu's army marched to the valley mouth, he threw the stones from the top of the mountain, not only killing and injuring many Hun soldiers, but also blocking the road out of the valley.
However, with his superb riding skills, Tou Manshan Yu dodged the falling rocks and was not hit, but the nine-tailed white flag in his hand was a very obvious sign, so Mao Dun also recognized the location of Tou Mandan Yu among the thousands of troops at a glance.
So Mao Dun immediately pulled out a feather arrow from the arrow box and shot it in the direction of the nine-tailed white flag, and the feather arrow came out of the string, "Woo! A sharp and rapid voice came out, although it was on the chaotic battlefield, it was still very clear and harsh.
Although Mao Dun is a famous marksman in the Xiongnu tribe, but at this time after all, it is too far away from Tou Mandanyu, if it is not for the condescending advantage, I am afraid that this arrow will not be able to shoot Tou Mandanyu there at all, plus it is in the chaos of the army, so after this arrow is shot, it did not hit Toumandanyu, and landed a few feet away from Toumandanyu.
But after this arrow was shot, the Hun soldiers on the slopes on both sides immediately raised their bows and shot, shooting in the direction of the arrow that Mao Dun just shot, it turned out that the arrow just now was Mao Dun's special Ming Di, Mao Dun ordered, after shooting his own Ming Di, all the soldiers must shoot arrows at their own targets, violators of the order immediately beheaded, Mao Dun had used Ming Di to shoot his own BMW, shoot his wife, in order to test the obedience of the soldiers, and as a result, he killed a group of soldiers who did not shoot, and other soldiers did not dare to violate Mao Dun's orders.
At this time, Mao Dun shot Ming Di again, and the soldiers around Mao Dun dared to hesitate, so they all opened their bows and released arrows, shooting in the direction of Ming Di. Although there were only hundreds of soldiers around Mao Dun at this time, so many people concentrated on shooting arrows in one direction, both the strength and density of the attack were very considerable, and it was basically equivalent to a saturation blow.
As a result, the arrows were as dense as raindrops, shooting into the Hun army, and suddenly in a radius of about 30 steps at the Ming Di landing point, the Hun soldiers and war horses fell to the ground and died almost in rows of arrows, and for a while people shouted that the horses neighed, and the sound of the arrows breaking through the air has been endless.
In just two or three minutes, in this area, there was no longer a standing man or war horse, and all the fallen people and horses had at least seven or eight feathered arrows stuck in their bodies, and a large amount of blood flowed out, completely covering this area. However, this time, Mao Dun also lost the target of Tou Mandanyu, and it is not known whether Tou Mandanyu was killed by an arrow, was injured and did not die, or had fled.
Without Tou Mandan, the main objective, Maudun no longer fired a Ming Di, and his Hun soldiers could also fire freely against the Hun army trapped in the valley. At this time, in the rear of the Xiongnu army, Fuhuluo also launched an operation, blocking the retreat of the Xiongnu army.
It turned out that after receiving Maoton's notice, Fuhuluo also deliberately delayed, leaving the 4,000 troops led by him at the end of the whole army, firstly, to avoid Maoton's ambush attack; The second is to block the back road of the Xiongnu army and prevent the Xiongnu army from escaping from the back of Jiashan Gorge. And Tou Manshan Yu didn't care about these small actions of Fu Huluo, and as a result, Fu Hu Luo led the army to the end of the whole army and entered the Jiashan Gorge, and opened a distance from the Xiongnu army in front.
At the same time as Mao Dun launched a blow to the head Mandanyu, he also lit wolf smoke and sent a signal to Fu Huluo behind. When Fugora saw the wolf smoke, he immediately ordered the whole army to stop advancing, immediately seize the high ground on the left and right, and block the valley road.
As a result, after the front army was ambushed by Maudun, there were many Hun troops running back, but they were soon hit hard by Fuhuluo, although the army led by Fuhuluo was not much, but because of the first step, occupied the high ground on both sides, and the valley road was narrow, the army could not be fully deployed, so the advantage of the Hun army in the strength could not be brought into play, and the result was firmly blocked in the valley, unable to advance or retreat, and fell into a comprehensive passive beating.
Although Mao Dun did not shoot out again, but still commanded his soldiers, with bows and arrows, stones to hit the Hun army trapped in the valley, and at this time the Hun army has no power to fight back, can only be beaten passively, although there are a small number of Hun soldiers still bravely launched an attack on the hillside, but the slope of the mountain for the war horse, is still a little steep, there are many war horses climbed dozens of steps, they can no longer advance, some retreat down the mountain, some war horses stumble, directly rolled down, and some were smashed down by bows and arrowsIn short, no one will be able to attack the mountain.
After more than 20 minutes of blows, the Hun army in the valley has been defeated, the valley is full of corpses of people and horses, but the dead and wounded Hun soldiers are only a small part, but the remaining Hun soldiers are off the war horses, after all, at this time, still riding on horseback can only be used as a live target, and after dismounting, the target is always smaller, and can use the war horse as a cover, the chance of survival is of course greater.
Maudun saw very clearly from the top of the mountain, knew that the battle was decided, and his heart was also greatly relieved, so he ordered his soldiers to stop the attack, and at the same time shouted to the Hun soldiers in the valley to abandon their weapons and surrender.
At this time, the Hun soldiers in the valley also knew that the general trend was gone, and this battle was confused, because at this time they all saw that it was also the Hun army that ambushed them, and they somehow fought with their own people, but since they were their own people, there was no need to fight to the death, so they also laid down their arms and surrendered. And Mao Dun led the soldiers, got on the horse and went down the mountain, and accepted the surrender of the Hun army.
However, Mao Dun was most concerned about the life and death of Touman Danyu, so he handed over the matter of receiving the surrender of the Xiongnu army to Gu Ruen to deal with, and he led more than 100 cavalry troops to the position of Ming Di just now.
This area was about thirty paces square, full of human and horse corpses, about a hundred of them, and the ground was densely packed, and there were feathered arrows, like a forest of arrows. And Mao Dun ordered that all the corpses be cleaned out and the body of Tou Mandanyu was found.
The soldiers dismounted, carried the bodies out one by one, and lined them up on the ground, while Mao Dun looked at them one by one.
After moving more than 20 corpses, no corpse of Tou Manshan Yu was found, and at this moment, he only heard someone say: "Lord Maoton, here." ”
Mao Dun listened, and immediately rushed over, before he arrived, Mao Dun had already seen clearly, beside the two Hun soldiers, it was Tou Man Shan Yu who was lying down, after all, his clothes were different, and he could recognize it at a glance, because it was the nine-tailed white flag, and it was still by his side. Therefore, Mao Dun was also greatly relieved, and finally found Touman Shan Yu.
But when Mao Dun arrived closer, he found that although Tou Manshan Yu was hit by several arrows in his body, he was not dead, it turned out that the bronze armor that Tou Manshan Yu was wearing protected him, and most of the arrows were not deep in the flesh, but after all, he was injured in many places, and the blood did not stop, and most of the nine-tailed white flags around him were dyed red, and he obviously did not live long.
However, seeing Mao Dun coming closer, Tou Man Shan Yu's eyes widened, glaring at Mao Dun angrily, his right hand actually supported his body, and his left hand pointed at Mao Dun, and said continuously: "You, you ......" Only two words were spoken, blood gushed out of his throat, and he couldn't say it anymore.
Mao Dun smiled coldly and said: "So far, what else is there to say, you have been a Shan Yu for more than 30 years, and you have been a majestic man for a lifetime, and now it is time to give way." As he spoke, he pulled out the scimitar at his waist and slashed away.
I saw a flash of the knife, blood gushed out of the neck, and the head of Tou Man Danyu had been cut off and rolled out a few steps.
Mao Dun laughed loudly, and then he went over and picked up the nine-tailed white flag, held it high, turned around on the spot, and said loudly: "Now I am the new Danyu of the Huns." ”
When the Hun soldiers beside him saw it, they immediately knelt down and said loudly: "Mao Dun Shan Yu." ”
