Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 768 Waiting for the Huns to die
For Ma Teng and Zhang Xiu, the existence of two small counties, Yuanyin and Yuanyang, only saved them the trouble of building camps.

Cavalry troops are not like infantry troops who have to build camp walls every time. For cavalry troops, a camp without walls is the best camp. They can move at any time without being blocked by walls. .

Therefore, the cavalry camp is basically to prepare a tent that can shelter from the wind and rain, and it can be directly carried on the back of a horse at ordinary times, without the need to use another vehicle to carry it.

In this way, the logistical burden of the cavalry can be minimized, and the marching speed of the cavalry will not be affected by the slow logistics.

However, the cavalry troops of the Han people are not like nomads after all. As long as they drive the flocks to migrate with the army, they can drink goat milk as water and eat mutton as food. Therefore, they still need to carry some logistics materials with the army, such as grain and grass, such as Consumables like Feather Arrow.

Nowadays, storing such logistics materials in small counties like Yuanyin and Yuanyang can not only ensure the safety of the materials, but also save the effort of building another storage camp.

Seeing the arrival of the Southern Huns at this time, Ma Teng and Zhang Xiu took the initiative to lead the army to meet them. In the northwest of Yuanyin and Yuanyang counties, they had already prepared a battlefield to stop the Southern Huns The way of the army.

And the Southern Xiongnu Chanyu Luan Tihu Chuquan was a little surprised when he heard that there was an army of Han people blocking his way ahead.

From Luan Tihu Chuquan's point of view, this time the Southern Huns went to war at Yuan Shao's request, it should be an easy game of horse racing and plundering, because he also heard about the battle that took place in Luoyang.

Luan Tihu Chuquan naturally knew why Yuan Shao asked him to send troops to harass Guanzhong. In his opinion, he should have taken advantage of the situation this time, but how could there be a Han army in front of him.

What money is Tanghou Zhuwei, Luan Tihu and Chuquan who have never heard of it before, and now I only know that he is a very young Han scholar, but he has already established a large territory in the southern part of the Central Plains, so he has a lot of money. Less troops.

But in Luan Tihu Chuquan's view, Zhu Wei may have been a great warlord of the Han people in the Central Plains, but now he has encountered big troubles. Now facing the siege of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, the two major Han forces in the Central Plains, Zhu Wei's decline should be It is inevitable.

In Luan Tihu Chuquan's view, Yuan Shao in the north is indeed the strongest force among the Han people in the Central Plains. He also has the status of the highest military general in the Han Dynasty. In the future, he may become the new Shanyu of the Han people in the Central Plains.

Therefore, Luan Tihu Chuquan was doing Yuan Shao's face this time, so he obeyed Yuan Shao's call to send troops.

But what is the situation now? Naturally, Luan Tihu Chuquan would not think that the Han army in front was Yuan Shao's army and came to meet him, so this Han army can only be the so-called army of Qian Tanghou and Zhu Wei. Block yourself.

But how could Zhu Wei send out an army to fight him at this time?
At this time, Luan Tihu Chuquan couldn't help but also left some impressions of Zhu Wei, but at this moment, he would not be easily frightened by the Han army, so he ordered the whole army to rush forward, and he wanted to wipe out the Han army in front of him in one fell swoop. , intending to use the Han army ahead as the first course of this Guanzhong safari.

Obviously, from Luan Tihu Chuquan's point of view, the army blocking the way must have been temporarily recruited by Zhu Wei, otherwise Zhu Wei would not have so many troops to dispatch.

So how can these temporarily recruited troops compare with the Huns cavalry under him.

As a result, following Luan Tihu Chuquan's military order was passed down, the leaders of the Southern Huns who had listened to Luan Tihu Chuquan Shanyu's convening order brought their Hun soldiers to the front and rushed to kill the Han army.

However, the Xiongnu cavalry of Luan Tihu Chuquan's headquarters were located in the middle and rear area of ​​the Xiongnu army, and they were still marching slowly at this time.

So after listening to his orders, the cavalry units composed of some small and medium-sized Southern Hun tribes were the main ones who charged ahead.

Luan Tihu Chuquan was able to see the combat effectiveness of the Han army in front of them through the battle situation of these Hun cavalry. Of course, they could also become cannon fodder to consume the strength of these Han army.

As Shanyu of the Southern Huns, Luan Tihu Chuquan was naturally not a simple-minded person, so his seemingly random military orders actually had his own intentions.

If the Han army in front is just a weak army temporarily recruited and gathered, then the Huns in front will be enough to defeat them. If the Han army has some fighting power, then after the Huns in front charge and kill, and then face his army , naturally there is no power to fight.

For a time, the number of Huns who followed Luan Tihu's Chuquan order and rushed towards Zhu Wei's army was not less than [-].

Accompanied by the strange sound of shouting and drinking from the population of the Huns, it looked like a gray sea of ​​people, covering the area where Ma Teng and Zhang Xiu were located on Zhu Weijun's side.

Because the terrain of Bingzhou is generally high in the northwest and low in the southeast, the location of Ma Teng and Zhang Xiu seems to be in the southeast direction with relatively low terrain. A bit more spectacular.

It's just that Ma Teng and Zhang Xiu are experienced in dealing with nomadic aliens like the Huns.

Ma Teng took the initiative to join the army in Liangzhou in his early years, and started his business by conquering the rebellion of the Di and Qiang Hu people in Liangzhou. Ma Teng naturally knew how to deal with them.

As for when Zhang Xiu joined Dong Zhuo's army with his uncle Zhang Ji in his early years, he could also be regarded as a border guard in Liangzhou. Naturally, he often fought with nomads and was also familiar with nomads' tactics.

Therefore, since Ma Teng and Zhang Xiu had chosen the battlefield in advance, of course they also made preparations on this battlefield.

Seeing the Huns in front of them swept over like waves, both of them stopped in place calmly. At this time, Zhang Xiu's Tiger Wing Battalion's heavy armored cavalry was hiding in the middle and rear of the army, and they stood on top of Zhu Weijun. The main ones in front are the cavalry of Ma Teng Fubo Battalion.

Zhu Weijun's cavalry also formed a dense cavalry rectangular battle formation here, and all the troops gathered together, as if forming a boxy rectangle.

This is an offensive battle formation, but there are actually not many troops in the central area. The main thing is to use the soldiers arrayed in front to cover up the emptiness inside. In other words, the real attacking troops of this rectangular battle formation are still concentrated in the central area. up the wings.

At this time, under the cover of about a thousand cavalry at the front of the Zhu Wei army, Ma Teng assembled four or five thousand archers to form an arrow formation, waiting to draw bows and shoot arrows at any time to shoot the Huns who rushed over.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the Huns to come up and die...
