Chapter 923: The tide of battle takes a sharp turn

The wind swept across the grassland, and the green grass swayed with the wind, and as far as the eye could see, it seemed like an undulating continuous wave.

The two armies lined up in front of each other, and in the open field, the army of tens of thousands of people seemed so small and humble.

Most of the army under Bei's command stayed in the royal court and came to pursue the king of Zuoguli, but there were only 50,000 soldiers and horses.

And the army of the king of Gu Li, after repeated battles, is now left with less than 30,000 people.

There are about 30,000 soldiers and horses of the king of Guli, all of whom are in tattered clothes and armor, and they look like wolves.

The direction of their formation is not the main formation of the army, but the side formation, and the direction of the main formation is neatly lined up with a Han army of about 20,000 people.

This Han army was very different from the Qin army.

Although the Qin army fought, although there were cavalry, the cavalry was not the main force, and this Han army was dominated by cavalry.

The wind in the wilderness stirred the apricot-yellow robes, lifted the corners of the robes, and the placket of the robes slapped the crotches of the soldiers, making a "crackling" sound.

The 20,000 Liaodong cavalry were all holding a cavalry round shield in one hand, a cavalry short spear in the other, and a pair of eyes staring at the Hun army on the opposite side without blinking.

The Qubei army, also full of cavalry, was led by a Xiongnu tribal king.

The king of the Hun tribe had a long goatee on his chin, and from the already grayish goatee, it could be seen that he was at least forty or fifty years old.

This person is none other than the Hun Aries King who followed Beibei.

The helmet had two curved copper horns, which glowed with gold in the sun, making him look a little wild goat.

The Xiongnu army behind the Aries King was not as neatly formed and loose as the Liaodong Army, if it weren't for them riding war horses, it would be more like a group of chaotic people who had temporarily gathered to make trouble.

Standing in front of the Liaodong Army were Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Lan.

The two rode side by side, looking at the Hun army opposite, and neither spoke to each other.

The number of the Liaodong army is much smaller than that of the Huns under the command of the Aries King, and they are in a neat array, so in such a formation, it seems that the Liaodong army is even weaker than the Huns.

The neat array also has the advantage of a neat array.

Although the Huns seem to be numerous, their morale is difficult to condense, but the Liaodong army does not have that kind of scruples.

They were very close to each other, and every soldier of the Liaodong Army had a desire to fight on their faces.

Stationed in Liaodong all the year round, the Liaodong Army, like the Gongsun Zan army that year, trained the most cavalry, while the infantry was only used as a supplement to the entire combat sequence.

In order to quickly rush to the Hetao, this time the Liaodong Army set out on an expedition, and the 20,000 soldiers and horses were all cavalry.

Pulling out the straight knife from his waist, the Aries King pointed the straight knife at the Liaodong Army on the opposite side, and roared in a low voice: "Kill!" ”

With a low roar from the Aries King, the 50,000 Huns behind him shook the reins one after another, and rushed towards the phalanx of the Liaodong Army.

Looking at the Huns who came up like a tide, Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Lan did not immediately order the charge, but waited quietly.

"Bow and arrow!" When the Huns rushed to a place only one hundred and ten paces away from the Liaodong army array, Gongsun Kang finally gave the first order.

With his order, all the soldiers of the Liaodong Army put their short spears and shields on horseback, took off their longbows from their backs, set up arrows on the bowstrings, and aimed at the oncoming Huns.

A sharp arrow aimed at the Huns who were charging, and the soldiers of the Liaodong Army were all full of solemnity, silently waiting for the Huns to rush to the range of the arrows.

"Shoot the arrows!" When the Huns rushed to a place only sixty or seventy paces away from the Liaodong Army, Gongsun Kang finally pressed his arm and shouted.

With his order, all the Liaodong troops fired arrows.

The arrows, like a swarm of locusts, formed a rapidly speeding ink cloud in mid-air, and shrouded the Huns.

The Huns in the charge, facing the arrows, not only did not slow down, but urged the war horses faster.

The arrows wrapped in the strong wind covered the Huns, and at the moment when the arrows fell into the Huns, countless Huns rolled forward with men and horses.

On the battlefield, there was a burst of people on their backs, and the tragic neighing of the horses and the roar of the horses' hooves on the ground were combined, adding a bit of tragedy to the battle.

The soldiers of the Liaodong Army shot a puff of arrows, and then drew a second feather arrow and shot it, and by the time they shot the third feather arrow, the Huns had already rushed to a place only thirty or forty paces away from them.

The distance between the two sides is already very close, although the arrows can cause great casualties to the cavalry, but if the arrows continue to be fired, the Liaodong cavalry will abandon the powerful impact of the war horse charge, so it is a bit more than worth the loss.

"Kill!" Knowing that it was time to order the cavalry to charge, Gongsun Kang drew his long sword, roared, and gave the order to charge.

After the action of putting away the longbow with a brush, the soldiers of the Liaodong Army picked up their shields and short spears, and they all held the horse's belly between their legs, shouted at the war horse, and rushed forward against the Huns.

The two armies were like two torrents about to collide head-on, and with a loud bang, the cavalry of both sides finally collided in one place.

Although the Huns took cavalry as their main combat unit, their cavalry only had the advantage of rapid mobility, and in the array, it was far inferior to the cavalry of the Liaodong Army.

If the two armies were more mobile, the Liaodong Army might not be as good as the Huns, but the two cavalry fought hard to fight hard, and the Huns suffered a big loss.

In the loud bang, the cavalry of the Huns fell in pieces, but the cavalry of the Liaodong Army relied on the additional impact force given to them by the array, and killed the depth of the Huns.

The soldiers on both sides rode on horseback, their blades flying, and they kept stabbing at the enemy.

The horses neighed, the soldiers shouted, and the horses' hooves stepped on the ground, splashing patches of smoke and dust.

Standing in the main formation on horseback, Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Lan both stared at the battlefield where they were fighting without blinking.

There are few soldiers in Liaodong, but this rush did not suffer a loss.

Just when Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Lan were looking at the battlefield where they were fighting, the left and right Gu Li kings, who were lined up not far from the side, also gave the order to charge at this time.

In the past few days, they have been driven away by the army of Qubei, and the Huns under the tent of the king of Guli have long been full of depression.

Although the number of Liaodong troops is not large, their strong combat power is like a shot in the arm for these Huns.

With the order of King Zuogu Li, the Huns, who had been pursued by the Qubei army for several days, also let out a rough cry, and rushed towards the battlefield one after another.

The king of Aries, who led a large army to pursue the king of Guli on the left and right, and fought even victorious, did not expect that when he was about to drive this rout army beyond the Hetao, a cavalry of the Han people would suddenly appear.

The armies of the left and right kings of the valley joined the warband, and the army of the Aries King soon fell into a situation of being passively beaten.

Although the defeat was soon apparent, the Aries King did not order the withdrawal of the army, but kept urging the Hun soldiers to rush and kill.

Shouting and killing, countless horses' hooves stepped on the ground, and the smoke and dust had spread, and the people fighting on the battlefield were all half-squinting to avoid their eyes being fascinated by the smoke and dust.

In the shadow of the sword and sword, one by one the warriors fell from their horses and fell on the battlefield with horses' hooves.

Those who fell to the ground barely had a chance to get up again, and they were trampled to the ground by the hooves of other people's horses, and although they did not die in the shadow of the sword and sword, they died under the heavy hooves of the horses.

In the smoke and dust, the situation on the battlefield is gradually becoming clearer, and the Aries King also clearly feels that after this battle, it will no longer be the king of the left and right valleys who will be pursued, but him.

However, he did not know that at the same time as this battle took place, an army of 200,000 people in Wuhuan, far north of Liaodong, was marching from the territory of Wuhuan and marching in the direction of Hetao.

The leader of this Wuhuan army is a Wuhuan man with an unusually burly physique.

The Wuhuan man had a fine hairy beard on his cheeks and a blazing gaze, which made him look a little more heroic.

This person is none other than the Wuhuan King.

The news of the alliance between Louban and the King of Qin soon reached Wuhuan, and Badun originally planned to send a general to Hetao, but after thinking about it, fighting against the Xiongnu was to give Wuhuan an an opportunity to train his troops and curry favor with Great Qin.

Friendship with Great Qin, for Wu Huan, not only heralded the opening of trade routes, but also heralded the military alliance between the two sides.

Liaodong Gongsun Du's army was too strong, although Wuhuan had many soldiers and horses, but he did not have the confidence to break through Liaodong.

He had only one thought, and that was to attack Goryeo and make Goryeo submit.

Although Goryeo is a small land, it is close to the coast. He always felt that the Koreans were too stupid, occupying the resources of the sea, but they didn't know how to use them, and they just thought about some stupid things that didn't matter all day long.

Such a stupid place, if not conquered, is really unforgivable for Bunton.

But the power between Goryeo and Wuhuan is balanced by the Central Plains, and the Central Plains does not want to see Goryeo invaded by Wuhuan, after all, if there is a small country that is not very important, the transition between the Central Plains and Wuhuan will disappear directly.

Wuhuan is different from Goryeo, allowing Goryeo to develop for a hundred years and thousands of years, it is just a region that has no expansion ability and can only be enslaved, but Wuhuan has a strong expansion power.

Checking and balancing Wuhuan to keep Goryeo is beneficial and harmless to the Central Plains, and the alliance with the king of Qin is to break this balance and move troops to Goryeo with the acquiescence of the king of Qin.

There is only one way to curry favor with the King of Qin, and that is to let him, the King of Wuhuan, personally lead the army under the condition that the Qin army is restrained by the Cao army, and help the King of Qin solve the rebellion in the Hetao area!
