Straight man of steel

Chapter 442
Thirty miles, twenty miles, ten miles, five miles, three miles, until Zhang Yuan could see the vanguard army galloping in the mountain narrows, those scouts stopped passing news to Zhang Yuan, because there was no more distance to the west of Fuyangju Mountain narrows. There are no Han scouts left.

In order to let the Han army on the narrow side of the mountain see his position clearly, Zhang Cigong ordered the front cavalry to charge forward with the military flag on their backs.

"General Wei, the Huns are following."

Li Ju who was standing beside Zhang Yuan quickly reminded him.

Zhang Yuan did not let Li Ju lead the army in this battle, because it was too important to tolerate any mistakes.

Li Ju is still familiar with military affairs, if he gets involved with the Huns in the future, there will be no problem for Li Ju to go up, and now it is better to let the experienced generals play.

"It's up to the Marquis of the Shore."

To be honest, Zhang Yuan didn't think that Zhang Cigong would really give up his life.

This is too inconsistent with Zhang Cigong's personality.

"General Wei, Antouhou has already ordered the vanguard to stop."

Li Juli was very excited at the height.

He had never seen such a massive war.

Zhang Yuan's location is on the cliff on the narrow south side of Fuyangju Mountain.

He is not only surrounded by Li Ju's officials who have already guarded the General's Mansion, but also 2000 infantry. Since Zhang Cigong sent someone to tell Zhang Yuan to prepare for battle yesterday morning, Zhang Yuan has temporarily transferred [-] people from the surrendered city. .

As for the number of these 2000 people, only these people on the cliff know.

But now it seems that Zhang Yuan made the right move in the temporary transfer.

"It's a pity that the vanguard of the Huns has only [-] cavalry."

Zhang Yuan shook his head, the [-] cavalry led by Wu Tugu were too few.

He needs more Huns to enter this narrow mountain, so that the armies ambushing on both sides can come out to attack the Huns.

Some people wonder why Zhang Yuan didn't choose to block this narrow mountain.

In fact, from the fact that Zhang Yuan and the others were able to lead the army up to the narrow mountain, we can know that the mountains on both sides are very gentle, and the slope is not very high.

The narrow mountain was blocked, and the Xiongnu army could completely cut down the trees from the mountain and make a way by themselves.

The time it takes is only one day, and the strength of 20 people is still very strong.

If there are 5 people entering the narrow mountain now, Zhang Yuan can immediately order to launch an attack, so that Zhang Cigong and his vanguard can minimize casualties.

"The two sides are fighting together!"

Hearing Li Ju's words, Zhang Yuan poked his head down and found that the two sides were really fighting together.

"Li Shuo! You first stand against this bulging bone.

I will rush back with the army! "

"Yes, General!"

The sudden bone was very powerful, and he found Zhang Cigong and Li Shuo as soon as he came up.

The two teamed up to barely gain some upper hand.

However, Zhang Cigong's goal was not Wu Tugu alone, he wanted to kill more Huns.

So first let Li Shuo support Wu Tugu, and before the army behind the Huns arrives, if he can wipe out [-] Huns, it will be a profit.

"You Han people can only run, don't you?"

Seeing Zhang Cigong leaving with a whip, Wu Tugu laughed a few times in the direction he left.

"The Xiongnu bandit bandits, yes, I will meet you!"

Li Shuo rushed towards Wu Tugu with a long gun in his hands, and the two of them immediately began to tremble.

The protruding bone made a mace stick, and Li Shuo could barely resist. Every time Li Shuo hit, his hands were numb.

Zhang Cigong did not let go of such a good opportunity.

After all, there was only one Wu Tu Gu, and the other Xiongnu generals were still following King Hunxie and King Xiutu.

The remaining [-] Hun cavalry were more like unorganized stragglers.

Zhang Cigong raised his arms and shouted, and the [-] vanguard immediately charged towards the west.

Because of the narrow terrain of the mountain, the west side is narrow and the east side is wide.

Therefore, the cavalry of the Han army charged to the west, and their strength could only be more and more concentrated, like a sharp knife.

While the Huns' army charged eastward, their forces would become more and more dispersed.

"Pass down the order to let the Qimen army deal with those Hun cavalry who rushed over their heads."

"General Wei, do you want the Qimen Army to dispatch now?"

"No, just send 1000 people to clean up the battlefield, and don't let the Huns destroy the trap on our side.

Although the plan has changed, it doesn't mean that those traps have lost their original function. "

"Yes."

The Qimen Army was at the foot of the mountain on Zhang Yuan's side, and the ordering soldiers quickly conveyed the order.

All of a sudden, a thousand well-equipped cavalry rushed out from the forest, and immediately cleared out those Hun cavalry who rushed over their heads.

Those Huns who rushed to the front were a little stupid. They saw with their own eyes that there was an army ambushing in the mountains.

But they didn't have the opportunity to go back and report the news.

The Qimen army cavalry who came out did not go back, and directly mixed into the chaos.

This way, it doesn't look out of place at all.

In the melee of 1000 cavalry, [-] people were mixed in and no one could see anything.

Moreover, the Huns still don't know how many vanguard cavalry there are in the Han army. They just think that they estimate the size of about 1 people, but they don't actually know how many people there are.

It is these 1000 people that are enough to quickly reverse the situation on the battlefield, because the Huns have fallen into a situation of fighting on both sides.

The 1000 men of the Qimen Army were the most elite cavalry of the Han Dynasty, but the [-] cavalry led by Wu Tugu were not the most elite cavalry of the Huns.

Even the most elite cavalry of the Huns, in the current battle with such a huge gap in equipment, it will be a one-sided battle.

Zhang Cigong felt that something was wrong, because he felt that the battle was going too smoothly, and he didn't discover the existence of the thousand Qimen cavalry until he killed the Huns' army formation.

It is really that people are more popular than others, the best horses, the sharpest weapons, the strongest armor, the most exquisite martial arts, and the strongest body.

Because of these five most, the combat effectiveness of the Qimen army far exceeds that of the rest of the big man's army.

Qimen Army and Habayashi Army have the highest salaries among all established armies.

If you have money, you can eat well, and if you eat well, you can be strong. When you are strong, you can not only cope with the necessary daily training, but also have time to learn the art of war and practice martial arts.

In addition, they should be stationed around the palace at all times, and the equipment should naturally be the best.

"Li Shuo, here I come!"

"General, those Huns are about to lose their hold."

"Don't worry, if the main Xiongnu army cannot arrive in time within half an hour, we will kill all these [-] Huns and retreat."

When Wu Tugu saw the two discussing in front of him, he immediately became angry.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Don't think that you can change your destiny by hiding a thousand cavalry.

Today, this Husband Yangju Mountain Narrows is your burial place! "

At this time, Zhang Cigong and Li Shuo became more serious.

With Zhang Cigong as the main force and Li Shuo as the assistant, the fight began.

What Zhang Cigong said just now was just to confuse Wu Tugu. If Wu Tugu got out of trouble and told King Hunxie about the Han army and reinforcements, then so many days of hard work would be in vain.

Stopping Hunxie King Xiutu from going east is not the only purpose, killing more Huns is the goal.

"General Wei, look quickly."

Li Ju pointed to the west.

Zhang Yuan looked far and wide, and found that the people on the west side of the narrow mountain were all Huns.

"It's finally here, send someone to tell Zhang Cigong."

"I'm afraid this is not the right time."

"Do as I tell you."

The Xiongnu also learned that the [-] vanguard cavalry led by Zhang Cigong began to fight against the vanguard troops on their side.

But King Hunxie was a little confused.

If the Han army wanted to fight, why did they go early.

Because of this incomprehension, the marching speed of the Xiongnu army did not speed up.

"Your Majesty, the [-] cavalry led by General Wu Tugu were almost wiped out by the Han army."

"what?"

King Hunxie's eyes widened. Even if such a fact was placed in front of his eyes, he still couldn't believe it.

"It's only been half an hour, is Wu Tugu a waste?"

"Your Majesty, General Wu Tugu was entangled by those two Han generals, and the Han army has a larger number than us, plus their well-equipped equipment, they lost the upper hand after the fight.

Our army has not been reinforced, which has led to the growing advantage of the Han army. "

King Hunxie frowned, hesitating now, I'm afraid Wu Tugu would have to get involved.

"King Hunxie, what are you still thinking about? You haven't ordered to send a large army to support now?"

King Xiutu rushed over as soon as he got the news.

The 20 Xiongnu army was played around by [-] Han cavalry. When the news got out, they couldn't gain a foothold on the grassland.

"King Xiutu, why did the Han army fight us in this place? There are many places where we can fight along the way."

"I said that you are really confused at the critical moment, don't you know where the Fuyangju Mountain Narrow is?

Only in this kind of place is it possible for them to quickly bite off a piece of our flesh and run away. If there is still time to support them, then the ten thousand cavalry will die in vain. "

"Okay, everyone marches at full speed. The army driving the cattle and sheep will be held back for the time being."

"Yes."

As King Hunxie made up his mind, the Xiongnu army finally entered the narrow area of ​​Fuyangju Mountain.

Their speed was very fast, and the influx of thousands of people quickly filled the entire mountain narrow area.

"General Wei, I'm afraid there are already [-] Huns in Fuyangju Mountain."

"Pass the order and let the army begin to attack!
When throwing spears and crossbow bolts, we must strive to achieve the maximum range. "

The reason why there is such an order is that Zhang Yuan still does not want to see his own weapons hurting his own people.

The sound of hooves of tens of thousands of cavalry rushing out at the same time was quite heavy.

But it is still the particularity of this terrain that keeps the sound bouncing back and forth between the mountain walls, and the more the echoes are stacked, the more complicated they become.

On the other side, the Huns were also entering. 20 cavalry and hundreds of thousands of livestock, this movement easily suppressed the movement of the Han army.

As soon as the Han army entered the narrow mountain, they began to throw spears.

After two rounds of attacks, nearly [-] spears were thrown out.

Thousands of Hun cavalry were stabbed to death by spears on the spot, and what was even more terrifying was the crossbow arrows.

The attack power of crossbow arrows is far greater than that of spears, which is why Huaxia abandoned spears and vigorously developed crossbow arrows.

The purpose of the spear is more to reduce the speed of the Huns' charge.

The two groups of spears just now stopped the charge of tens of thousands of Xiongnu troops.

The current crossbow attack is killing people.

The Huns at the front were about to be wiped out by a wave, and there were also many vanguard soldiers who were accidentally injured.

Many vanguard soldiers fought with the Huns. In just two quarters of an hour, the number of vanguards dropped by half, but the losses of the Huns were at least three times that of the vanguards.

"You really have an ambush!"

Wu Tugu was one of the Huns closest to the east side of the narrow mountain. He was not a fool. How could there be so many spears and crossbow arrows suddenly appearing in midair by a cavalry force of about 1 people.

"Today, this husband Yangju mountain is the burial place for you Huns."

Zhang Cigong turned around and returned what Wu Tugu had said earlier.

Wu Tugu was not flustered, he smiled as he watched the cavalry of the Huns pouring in from the west.

"Pray to heaven that your army can last a little longer!"

Zhang Cigong's vanguard army now has a few thousand people left, but they still have to bear the continuous charge of the Huns cavalry.

Although the Huns' charge has been greatly reduced because of the tens of thousands of spears stuck on the ground, the advantage in numbers is falling to the Huns.

Looking at the battlefield below, Zhang Yuan frowned.

He found that this battle may not achieve the expected result, even under the premise that Zhang Cigong was willing to take 1 lives.

Both sides were cavalry fighting, and everyone rode a war horse.

Some horses fell to the ground when they were dead, while some horses were still alive, but because of the loud noise and the smell of blood, they ran wildly in the narrow mountains.

The current Fuyangju Mountain is too crowded, and the more than 2 corpses can't occupy more space than these horses.

If you want to kill more Huns, you can only open an opening in the east, so that the horses can rush out.

But if this is done and the Huns seize the opportunity, then it will be the cavalry of the Han army who will be surrounded.

"General Wei, are you worried that this narrow mountain will become more and more crowded?"

Seeing Zhang Yuan frowning when the battle was going well, Li Ju thought of this possibility.

As I said before, Zhang Yuan didn't want to block this narrow mountain.

But if it was all horses and corpses, wouldn't that have the same effect?

"Yes, do you have any way to solve it?"

"The general thinks that we can press forward appropriately."

"Press forward? Isn't the more you press, the more crowded you are?"

"Let the army fire rockets and force the horses to rush west."

Animals have a natural fear of fire, and using a fire can drive unmanned war horses to the west.

"Have you thought about doing this, the Huns may not rush forward."

This is what Zhang Yuan is worried about. Killing so many Huns now has not yet reached the point of heartache for King Hunxie and King Xiutu.

They might think of other ways to pass through the narrow mountain if they endured it, so that Zhang Yuan would be powerless to resist at that time.

"In the end, there will be a way to make the Huns fight hard!"

"any solution?"

"It may be necessary for you, General Wei, to come down and act as a bait."

"What did you say?!!"
