"It's finally about to start, I can't imagine that this time the Hun army will drag on for so long?" Gao Yuan stood on a temporary high platform, looked at the Hun army that had been assembled in the distance, and muttered to himself.

Shui Xinyue, who was beside him, was still wearing a veil, her eyes were indifferent, and she said, "Didn't you say that you could defeat the Xiongnu army within ten days?" I don't know if these two days are counted in these ten days? ”

Gao Yuan smiled: "Even if you are in it for the past two days, the remaining eight days are more than enough to defeat the Hun army." ”

Shui Xinyan said: "Okay, then I'll wait and see, it depends on how you defeat the Hun army in these eight days." By the way, why haven't you launched the lightning strike car until now, I see the current position of the Hun army, and it can be completely hit with the lightning strike car. ”

Although the Mo family disciples brought more than 30 chariots and other large equipment, the ramming car and the Ruyi car could not be used in defensive battles, and Gao Yuan did not order the lightning strike chariot to be deployed, and only six arrow killing vehicles, eight thunderbolt vehicles and five bed crossbows could really be used, a total of twenty-one large weapons. However, these vehicles are all mobile, so they are not fixed on the defensive line, but are concentrated in the center, and their position will be determined depending on the development of the battle situation.

In fact, not only Shui Xinyue, but even some Bailing people couldn't understand why Gao Yuan didn't give an order to unfold the most powerful lightning strike car and attack the Hun army, but Gao Yuan just smiled and said, "Now is not the time to use the lightning strike car." ”

Shui Xinyue said: "It's not the time yet, so when will it be." ”

At this time, Chunyu Zhongxiu, who was on the other side of the plateau, said: "Wu Anjun doesn't want the Huns to know the power of the lightning strike car too early, but plans to save the lightning strike car for use when it is most built. ”

Gao Yuan smiled slightly, glanced at her, and said, "It seems that Miss Chunyu is also proficient in the art of war." ”

Chun Yu Zhong Xiu smiled and said, "After following Wu Anjun for a long time, it is time to learn some art of war." ”

Because Yun Yao has always disliked fighting and killing, and she has to pay the responsibility of leading the daughters and children of the Bailing clan to treat the wounded, so she did not appear on the defensive line, and the people who sat on the high platform with the plateau to watch the battle were Chun Yu Zhongxiu and Shui Xinyue, but these few assaults on the Huns, both of them went to battle with the plateau, and the soldiers of the acting army were also accustomed to it, and they were not surprised.

And before a few people spoke, the Hun army had already begun to attack the battalion.

The first round of the Xiongnu army sent out about 5,000 troops, because the defensive position of the Dai army was not large, a total of less than 300 steps, so too many men and horses were invested, and the troops could not be fully deployed, and 5,000 people were almost just a boy.

Although Mao Dun, Fu Gongyan and the leaders of the various tribes had discussed it, today's battle was mainly based on the consumption of the bows and arrows of the Dai army, and then launched a full-scale attack after the bows and arrows of the Dai army were fired. But this plan was known only to these chiefs, and they would not sue the soldiers. Therefore, when each leader selected his soldiers to fight, he also promised heavy rewards to encourage these soldiers to fight. Before going to war, Maudun announced that the Hun soldiers who first attacked the position of the Dai army would be rewarded with fifty horses, five hundred sheep, twenty pieces of cloth, and three hundred slaves.

Such a reward is not small for ordinary tribal leaders, and for ordinary herdsmen, it is a huge reward like winning the lottery.

In fact, Maudun and the leaders of the tribes all know that the soldiers who go to battle first are actually used as consumables, and it is estimated that there is not much left in the end, so no matter how much he is rewarded, it is just an empty promise, and it is unlikely that he will redeem the limit, and naturally he will not be stingy, so he will open as many as he wants, and encourage the morale of the soldiers.

However, the encouragement of the leaders was indeed very effective, and after the first batch of 5,000 Hun soldiers who went out to fight listened to it, their morale was really high, and their emotions were excited, and after Mao Dun gave the order to attack, they immediately galloped on horseback, galloped on horseback, and rushed to the defense line of the Dai army, for fear of falling behind others, and could not be the first to break through the defense line of the Dai army and get this heavy reward.

The momentum of the 5,000 cavalry army charging together is still very amazing, because it is the strength of the Hun army at this time, and naturally it adds a bit of momentum. Although Shui Xinyue is Han Teng's subordinate, he is mainly responsible for intelligence work, and basically has not participated in the battle, and Chunyu Zhongxiu is similar, only outside the Yanmen Pass, it is the first time to come to the battle array, and the Huns have a battle, but the scale of that battle is not large, the Dai army only dispatched a total of more than 3,000 cavalry, and it is still divided into joint attacks, only from the perspective of the formation, it is still much worse than now.

And although the two of them attacked the Huns twice with the plateau, because they were active at night, they could not see the overall situation clearly, and could only see the war in a small area around them, and they did not have any strong feelings, and now they were the first to stand on the high platform to look at the overall situation, and watch the five thousand Hun cavalry charging towards their positions from a bird's-eye angle, and they were somewhat moved.

In fact, the two of them are quite good, and they are more or less people who have seen the world, and the warriors of the White Spirit Clan have seen such a scene, and they are all so frightened that their faces are pale, many of them are shaking, and some of them are clenching the weapons in their hands, and their knuckles are stiff and white. Only the soldiers of the Dai army did not care, although there were not many of them, but their faces were calm and relaxed, some closed their eyes and recuperated, and some hummed a small song. However, fortunately, there was this group of soldiers present, which made the hearts of the soldiers of the Bailing clan a little low, otherwise I am afraid that it would have been chaotic at this time.

The array of the Hun army was about three hundred steps away from the camp of the Dai army, of course, in the eyes of the Huns, this was a safe distance, and in the blink of an eye, the Hun cavalry had run past two hundred steps.

The range of bows and arrows in this era was generally about 50 to 60 paces, and if projectiles were used, they could reach about 80 paces, and there were still a small number of long-range weapons in the positions of the Dai army, so at this time, it was actually possible to start attacking. And the Dai army still did not move, although many Bai Ling soldiers couldn't hold their breath and raised the throwing guns in their hands, but they were also stopped by the nearby Dai army soldiers, because this was far from the range of the throwing guns.

Even Shui Xinyue had some surprises, and couldn't help but say, "Don't you give the order to do it, when will it be?" ”

Gao Yuan smiled: "Don't worry, don't worry, wait a while, you can see it right away." ”

Just as they spoke, the Hun cavalry rushed forward dozens of paces, and the five or six Hun cavalry who rushed to the forefront were only more than 50 steps away from the defense line of the Dai army, and many Hun soldiers had bent their bows and arrows on horseback, ready to shoot at the defense line of the Dai army. Shui Xinyue couldn't help but be nervous for a while, looked at the plateau, and saw that he still had a normal complexion, as if he was nothing.

At this moment, I saw that among the five or six Hun cavalry in the forefront, three war horses fell forward suddenly, and the knights on horseback fell hard, while the other cavalry still ran forward a few steps, but they all fell to the ground one by one. Some of the cavalrymen, after falling off their horses, even flipped forward several times.

Before Shui Xinyue could understand what was going on, the Hun cavalry who rushed from behind also fell to the ground one after another, some of them tripped over the men and horses who fell in front, but there were also many people and horses who fell out of thin air. In a short time, more than 100 Hun cavalry fell to the ground.

Shui Xinyue said: "What's going on? How did they fall so well? ”

Gao Yuan smiled slightly and said, "When the war is over in a while, you will understand when you go to the battlefield to take a look yourself." ”

Because when Shui Xinyue came to the camp with the plateau, the pits outside the trenches had basically been dug, so Shui Xinyue and Chunyu Zhongxiu didn't see it, otherwise with the wisdom of the two of them, it would not be difficult to guess what was going on.

In fact, not only Shui Xinyue and Chunyu Zhongxiu, but also in the array of the Hun army, Mao Dun, Fu Gongyan, and the tribal leaders were also confused, and they didn't understand why the war horse ran so well, why did it suddenly fall? If one or two horses fall to the ground, it can be said that the horse stumbles, but dozens or hundreds of horses fall to the ground, then it can't be said.

It turned out that although the Hun army had suffered a loss, but because the last battle was a night attack at night, the Hun soldiers could not see what was going on at all, so the Hun army did not take any precautions against the trap prepared by the Dai army. And now everyone just feels inexplicable and doesn't know what's going on.

It was only then that the camp of the Dai army began to fire bows and arrows to attack the Hun army, and at the same time, eight thunderbolts also started together, throwing stones at the Hun army. The Thunderbolt is a torsion-powered trebuchet with a maximum range of only about 150 paces, but it is more than enough as a medium- and long-range strike weapon. Moreover, all the projections of the army are more than ten catties of small stones, and a trebuchet can project more than ten such small stones at a time, but falling from a high altitude is enough to smash people's heads and blood, and break bones and bones.

All the time, arrows and stones, like hail of arrows, shot at the Hun soldiers, although some Hun soldiers did not trip over the trap, but they were either hit by stones or arrows, and did not even rush to the edge of the trench.

After a while, the Hun army had already suffered hundreds of casualties, but after all, there was a heavy reward incentive before the war, and the Hun soldiers behind did not feel much fear, on the contrary, many people were quite happy, because the people in front were dead, naturally there would be no chance to break into the position of the representative army, and they still had the opportunity to impact the position of the representative army for the first time and get a heavy reward, so they still continued to rush to the position of the representative army.
