Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 774

The heavy armored cavalry of the Huyi Battalion of the Zhu Wei Army entered the central army area of ​​the Huns in order to execute the beheading tactic, and the target was naturally directed at the Huns Shanyu Luan Tihu Chuquan.

Even if Luan Tihu Chuquan sent the most elite Shanyu personal guards to face the Han heavy cavalry, and mobilized all the troops he could command to surround the Han heavy cavalry, he still couldn't stop it. Zhu Weijun's heavy cavalry charged to his position.

This made Luan Tihu Chuquan very annoyed, so he must also kill all the Han army here to maintain his Shanyu's power.

Of course, the more important reason for this is that Luan Tihu Chuquan is a little jealous of the equipment on these Han cavalry. If he can wipe out the Han army and get their equipment, then the Xiongnu cavalry under him Combat power can be improved several times.

It's just that when Luan Tihu Chuquan sent almost all the Huns in the rear to besiege and kill the Han Chinese heavy cavalry, he seemed to ignore Zhu Weijun's counterattack on the frontal battlefield.

In other words, Luan Tihu Chuquan had no time to care about other things in the chaotic Hun army formation at this moment.

Although he sent a large number of Xiongnu elite cavalry to besiege and kill this Han Chinese heavy cavalry, he himself was also closely watched by the opponent. Charge to where he is.

Even though there were many Xiongnu elite cavalry blocking the Han heavy armored cavalry, there was still no way to stop them from approaching the Shanyu Wang Banner.

Later, Luan Tihu Chuquan had to keep Shanyu Wang Qi away from his place, so that he could have a chance to stop and take a rest. The Huns could not find where their Shanyu was, and could not report the battle situation in time.

Therefore, when Luan Tihu Chuquan discovered that the Han cavalry on the frontal battlefield had broken through his own attacking troops and counterattacked towards him, it was already too late for him to mobilize the troops to stop them.

It can be said that the Tiger Wing Battalion led by Zhang Xiu had nearly [-] heavy armored cavalry troops. Although they were firmly besieged by nearly [-] Huns, he also completely restrained these Huns' cavalry.

In this way, when Ma Teng led the Fubo battalion cavalry to fight back, the Huns who were still besieging and killing the Han Chinese heavy armored cavalry here did not put up any defensive posture at all to meet the offensive of the Fubo battalion cavalry.

As a result, Ma Teng led the Fubo Battalion cavalry into the already chaotic battle situation here, which immediately changed the battle situation here. The disadvantage of the heavy armored cavalry that was originally surrounded was finally evened out. The powerful combat effectiveness of the cavalry was reflected again.

Under the two-phase attack of the heavy armored cavalry and the Fubo battalion cavalry, the Huns finally couldn't resist completely, and the overall battle situation became that Zhu Weijun's cavalry chased the Huns cavalry and killed them.

When Luan Tihu Chuquan found that Zhu Weijun was recoiling from the front, he knew that the situation was not good, so under the protection of more than 1000 Huns cavalry, he began to retreat to the northwest.

"Woooooooo..."

With the sound of the Huns' withdrawal horn, all the Huns cavalry began to retreat to the northwest. However, at this moment, the Huns, who originally had an army of [-], could still follow Luan Tihu Chuquan. Less than [-] There are more people.

At least 6000 to 2 Huns were killed or injured on the battlefield in this battle, while the other Huns who fled in all directions were no less than [-].

At this moment, the huge army of the Huns, like mud scattered by a punch, completely lost command and fled to the northwest. The army of the Huns, which was originally composed of many Huns tribes, was also scattered again at this moment. Countless Huns with tribes as units were defeated and fled back in the direction of their respective tribes.

It is difficult for the Southern Xiongnu Chanyu Luan Tihu Chuquan to gather his Xiongnu army again at this time. Even among the more than [-] Xiongnu who are still fleeing with him, the tribal cavalry directly under him only account for the majority. .

The rest of the Hun cavalry from other tribes, as Zhu Weijun continued to chase and kill, were still dissipating little by little, and the number of Hun cavalry under Luan Tihu Chuquan would only decrease.

After the Huns retreated, Ma Teng still led the Fubo Camp's cavalry to pursue them closely. He wanted to ensure that these Huns could no longer gather together, and he wanted to kill these Huns so that they would never dare to invade Guanzhong again.

This is also the tactic discussed by Ma Teng and Zhang Xiu before, so for Ma Teng, the war has just reached the middle of the month, and the end of this war will have to wait for the result of his pursuit of the Huns this time.

The best thing is to be able to catch up with the Xiongnu Shanyu Luan Tihu Chuquan, and capture the leader of the Huns, which will have a great influence on the Huns in the northwest and south of Bingzhou.

But at this time, Zhang Xiu led the heavy armored cavalry of the Tiger Wing Battalion to cooperate with the follow-up logistics troops to clean up the battlefield. The heavy armored cavalry is not suitable for long-distance raids, so what he has to do now is to capture the prisoners. Reap the dividends of this battle, such as the prisoners of the Huns, the horses, cattle, and sheep left by the Huns.

Although many Huns had escaped, besides the Huns who died in battle, there were also many Huns who were only injured on the battlefield.

Therefore, after killing the seriously injured Huns, they still captured [-] to [-] slightly injured Huns. These Huns can be converted into slave workers and soldiers to make up for the battle losses of Zhu Weijun.

To be honest, this time Zhu Weijun defeated the Huns' [-] army with less than [-] troops, and his own losses were not small.

In particular, the heavy armored cavalry of the Tiger Wing Battalion who forcibly broke into the Huns' army this time almost suffered the biggest damage since they formed the army. After the war, only more than 3000 of the nearly [-] troops were left.

Although it does not mean that nearly [-] other heavy cavalrymen were killed in battle, but most of these people were also seriously injured, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to return to the formation of heavy cavalry in the future.

This is why in this era, cavalry can only become a rare unit.

Just like this battle, although the heavy armored cavalry of the Tiger Wing Battalion played a decisive role, they also lost nearly half of their troops due to the battle. However, it is not easy to restore the original troop structure.

If it is infantry, it is natural to replenish the source of troops from the new barracks at any time. Even if it is Zhang Liao's light cavalry, it is relatively easy to replenish the lost source of troops.

However, the source of heavy cavalry is not so easy to find. In addition to the requirements for physical fitness, horse riding is also an important selection condition.

Previously, because Zhu Wei could not find a suitable source of troops, he could only let Zhang Xiu's original Xiliang cavalry merge with Lu Bu's part of the Bingzhou cavalry, thus forming the current number of heavy armored cavalry.

Now if you want to replenish the establishment of the heavy armored cavalry, you may have to find a way to recruit troops in the northwest and Liangzhou, but this will naturally take time.

It can be said that although the Huns were defeated in this battle and the threat of the Huns to Guanzhong was eliminated, the heavy cavalry of the Huyi Battalion could not be used much for the time being...
