Straight man of steel

Chapter 206 Siege of the Huns
Mayi County is far away from Longcheng of the Huns, even if the cavalry is fully charged, it will take a day and a night, no more than in the forest on the edge of Baideng Mountain.

The dry food brought by the Qimen army was enough for the army to feed for ten days. If there were more harvests on the way, the Qimen army could last longer.

Seeing that the sun was about to set and the Huns' army was approaching the valley outside Mayi County, Nie Yi couldn't help feeling nervous.

However, no one was looking at him all the time, so no one noticed the subtle changes on his face.

Although the military minister relaxed his vigilance, he still hesitated when he saw the valley outside Mayi County.

Yu Shan immediately stepped forward and asked.

"Father, what's wrong?"

The military minister frowned and looked at the dense forest around him, shook his head without speaking, and continued walking towards the valley.

The sky is already a little dark now, which is bound to provide a better cover for the Han army ambushing inside.

As the Xiongnu army continued to go deeper, the military officials felt more and more that something was wrong, and the surroundings were too quiet.

"Why are there no birds and beasts calling around?"

A flattering smile appeared on Nie Yi's face immediately.

"Reporting to the Chanyu, this place is too close to Mayi County, so many people in the city hunt here for a living.

If things go on like this, the birds and beasts in the mountains and forests will become scarce, and now the sky is changing from white to black, and the wild animals are still dormant.

When it really gets dark, everyone will come out. "

Although Yu Dan didn't like Nie Yi very much, he felt that what Nie Yi said was very reasonable.

"Father, you can see that the pack of wild wolves on our grassland is also the same. They can't be seen during the day, and they always wait until late at night before they come out to hunt together."

The military minister nodded, although he was still a little worried, he continued to march forward.

Seeing that he was about to reach the mouth of the valley, Mayi County finally appeared in front of Junchen and the others, and Junchen let go of his concerns.

"Da Shanyu, the villain first went to the city to do some sorting, and let the people in the city come out to welcome the great Xiongnu Da Shanyu.

Just wait here for a moment. "

The military minister waved his hand impatiently, then picked up the koumiss hanging on the saddle, and drank it in big gulps.

Seeing that the military officials were unprepared, Nie Yi waved his whip and ran towards the direction of Mayi County.

At this moment, a bunch of torches suddenly lit up in the forests on both sides of the valley, and the piercing sound of piercing through the air reached the ears of the Huns.

"No, we've fallen into a trap.

Be alert, be alert. "

Although Gongsun He told Wei Qing that he only had [-] infantry, he didn't tell Wei Qing how many slaves he brought with him on this trip.

There was a lot of shouting and killing, and the huge arrows used by the three-bow bed crossbow shot at the Huns indiscriminately.

The valley is full of Huns, forcing their eyes to shoot at one piece.

Not to mention how much damage the three-bow crossbow can do to people, the military minister saw an arrow that was longer than a human directly penetrate a horse, and then he didn't stop, but pierced through the horse's belly. .

After passing through five war horses again and again, it fell to the ground.Looking back at those war horses, the horses' bellies have all been cut open, and the internal organs and blood flowed all over the place.

The military minister immediately realized that if he stayed in the valley and let the three bows and crossbows shoot down, his 10,000+ army would all be finished.

"The former army rushed forward, out of the valley.

The rear army broke through backwards and broke out of the valley.

When we go outside, it is the world of our Huns! "

The military minister ordered and shouted loudly.

With one order, the Huns quickly divided into two groups, but to be precise, it was three waves, because there was still a Hun army that was cut off in the last valley.

Seeing that the Xiongnu army was about to rush out of the valley, at this time two armies poured into the two openings in the valley.

These two armies were led by Han Anguo and Li Xi, and the two Han armies blocked the opening firmly.

The sword and shield hand holding the shield stood at the front, and the crossbowman behind him kept shooting arrows into it.

In fact, if Zhang Yuan were to command this battle, he would definitely set fire to the mountain.

After all, at this time, there is no such thing as setting fire to mountains and sitting in prison.

Then let the 30 troops be blocked on both sides, surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, Zhang Yuan didn't believe it, the Huns could still fly out with wings.

Right now, there are only tens of thousands of troops blocking the sides of the valley. In fact, there are more Huns inside than the two armies.

Han Anguo was dressed in armor, holding a sword that was not very useful, and looked at everything in front of him coldly.

The military officials led people to break through from the front, while his son Yu Shan led people to attack Li Xi's defense line from the other side of the valley.

But after several impacts, the effect is not obvious.

It was getting dark, and the military officials were old after all, so they couldn't see clearly the weak defense ahead.

Seeing that the Huns kept falling under the arrows, the military minister shouted loudly in his heart.

"Everyone retreated to the middle of the valley, and we rushed out in one go."

The middle of the valley is the place where the three-bow crossbow shoots the most arrows. Because of worrying about those crossbow arrows, when the Huns first attacked, they were far away from the middle of the valley.

In this way, the advantage of the Huns' cavalry disappeared, and the military officials knew what the advantages of the Huns were, so they had to lengthen the preparation distance for the charge regardless of casualties.

If Li Guang were here, he would definitely be able to see the military officials' thoughts at a glance, but it was Han Anguo in front of him.

Although Han Anguo was a famous general, most of the battles he fought were fortified battles or defensive battles. He didn't know how terrifying the charge of the Huns in the north was.

Of course, there was also the reason for the dark sky, and Han Anguo couldn't see the Huns pulling away and preparing to charge.

People on both sides can only rely on the faint firelight to judge the situation.

This is also the reason why Han Anguo and others made this plan. If they are fighting in the dark, only a few Han army camps will not move around and stand firmly on their own positions, so that they will not hurt their own people when they attack.

Said it was fast then.

Although the military minister is very old, he is still brave.

The Huns worshiped warriors, and their military officials were famous even when they were young.

Right now, he is leading nearly [-] cavalry, wielding a scimitar, and constantly accelerating towards the frontmost Han army position.

These Huns cavalry kept howling in their mouths, they didn't know what they were talking about, but it made the Han soldiers around them startled.

The horses under the crotch of the Huns cavalry at the front all have battle armors in front of them, which are equipped to protect the horses.

The Huns lack iron weapons, so such a group of cavalry is also the property of military officials, and they are the only heavy cavalry among the Huns.

As the distance got closer, Han Anguo began to realize that something was wrong, and immediately yelled loudly.

"The crossbowman shoots the arrow quickly, and the sword and shield hand hold me back.

Those who retreat will be killed without mercy. "

Then the war drum behind Han Anguo also began to beat, causing waves of sound.
