Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 410 The Great Victory
King Xiutu was desperate, and the morale of the Huns fell to the bottom and was about to collapse.

If it is on the grassland, [-] of the most elite cavalry is enough to make the same number of Han troops dizzy, but once they are blocked in the valley and forced to attack the Han army's chariot formation, their advantage will be lost immediately, and they will be defeated. downwind.Every futile impact was a heavy blow to their psychology, and wiped out their little confidence.

In four days, dozens of attacks, the Huns paid nearly [-] casualties.What's worse, they ran out of food and had to kill the injured horses to satisfy their hunger.

The war horse is not only the leg of the Huns, but also the life of the Huns. Killing a horse to satisfy hunger is tantamount to suicide.

King Xiutu sat on the saddle, lowered his head, and rubbed his haggard face again and again.

There was dead silence on the battlefield, the Huns did not attack, and the Han army did not counterattack.Compared to this kind of silence, King Xiutu would rather hear the heart-piercing shouts of killing than the shaking drums of the Han army.If the Han army takes the initiative to attack, he still has a chance to survive. If he confronts like this, there is only one dead end waiting for him.

King Xiutu raised his eyelids and looked at the battle flag in the distance, his heart beating violently.

In the large formation of the Han army on the opposite side, there was an opponent whom he hated to the bone, but who admired him with admiration.Once upon a time, he laughed at King Hunxie and his son, he despised King Youxian and Wusun's Kunmo Lijiaomi, but now, he felt that they were not wronged at all, and it was rare for him to meet such a cunning and calm opponent. Individuals can come out unscathed.

For four days, Liang Xiao only defended but did not attack, and did not take a step forward.No matter how weak or tempting King Xiutu was, Liang Xiao refused to fight back. He just held his ground firmly, strangled King Xiutu's hope of escape, and blocked him firmly in the valley.Compared to fighting, he seemed more willing to wait for King Xiutu to starve to death.

King Xiutu had experienced many battles, and this was the first time he saw such a cold and cruel opponent.

Compared with Liang Xiao, Li Xi at the southern end of the valley was more proactive. After repelling the Huns' attacks many times, he brazenly launched a counterattack and pushed his position forward for more than ten miles, further reducing the living space of the Huns. More than 2000 people paid the price.If he hadn't given up the plan for a quick battle in time, and instead stood firm like Liang Xiao, he would have been almost broken out by the Huns.

Now, more than 1 Han troops rely on chariot formations to block the Huns in the valley.

King Xiutu thought about climbing over the mountains and escaping from the path.There are some trails on the mountain, which are not suitable for the army to walk, but they can be walked.But in this way, King Xiutu will become a lonely family and will no longer be able to survive on the grassland.

Instead of this, it is better to surrender to the Han people, maybe you can be named a marquis and keep some strength.Before that, there were not many Huns who surrendered to the Han people, and it is said that they are doing well now.

This thought lingered in King Xiutu's mind for a long time and couldn't get rid of it.

At this moment, cheers came from the Han army position opposite.King Xiutu slowly raised his head, and an ominous dark cloud passed over his heart.The Han army, who had been silent for so long, suddenly cheered. For the Huns, it must not be a good bald head.

After a while, a few desperate wailings came from his ears.

"Li Guang is back."

-

Seeing Li Guang again, Liang Xiao was very happy.From Li Guang's expression, it can be seen that Li Guang must have won a complete victory in this attack.

This was within his expectations.With the strength of Li Guang and the six thousand elite cavalry, if they can't even handle the supply troops of the Huns, Li Guang is too fake a famous general.This is basically a crushing battle. Even if it is not Li Guang's army, but an ordinary general, as long as he is not stupid enough, the victory will belong to the Han army.

"Congratulations, General." Liang Xiao went up to greet him, cupped his hands, and laughed loudly: "The general's harvest must be not small, right?"

"Hahaha..." Li Guang couldn't restrain the joy in his heart, and laughed out loud.He got off his horse and patted Liang Xiao's shoulder vigorously. "Boy, this battle is too easy, it's almost ruinous. The Huns were defeated in one battle, and they didn't chew their heads at all. I have fought for so many years, and this is the first time I have encountered such a weak Huns. If you met before All the Huns who came here are like this, I am afraid I have already been appointed as a marquis."

Liang Xiao secretly laughed in his heart.In the past, you used to pick the main force of the Huns, but this time you encountered soft persimmons, so you can pinch them naturally.

"How is your side? How many casualties are there?"

"So far, 380 people have been killed, 570 people have been injured, and 160 people have been beheaded."

"Such a disparity?" Li Guang was both surprised and delighted.

"When it comes to fighting on foot, how can the Huns be our opponents." The captain Han Qianqiu walked over and said with a loud smile: "Liang Junhou, the general is back, should we fight back? After waiting for these days, brothers I'm in a hurry."

Liang Xiao glanced at Han Qianqiu, then turned to Li Guang. "General, what do you think?"

Li Guang glanced around and was very satisfied when he saw the soldiers' eyes were warm and full of fighting spirit.It can be seen that Liang Xiao's command in the past few days has been very stable, and his morale is very strong. More importantly, he did not take advantage of this opportunity to claim credit, but left the command of the final decisive battle to himself.

"What good advice do you have?"

Liang Xiao smiled. "Since the general is back, there should be a break. However, before launching the general offensive, I suggest sending someone to persuade them to surrender. The Huns have been trapped for three or four days and have run out of food. Now that the general has robbed their luggage again, they may report to the general. The general surrendered. If we succeed in persuading the surrender, we can reduce casualties and prepare for the second phase of the war as soon as possible."

Li Guang pondered for a moment, then nodded repeatedly.If you can force King Xiu Tu to surrender without a bloody battle, then of course it would be great.The trapped beast is still fighting, and there are still more than 1 Huns. If they really want to desperately, the threat is not small. Casualties of 3000 to [-] people are inevitable, and even both sides may suffer.

They discussed it, and then sent envoys to persuade King Xiutu to surrender.Seeing Li Guang appearing again, King Xiutu was already mentally prepared, knowing that he was at the end of his game, and fighting again would be a dead end.Without much hesitation, he accepted Li Guang's request, put down his weapon, and surrendered to Li Guang.

Li Guangda was overjoyed. On the one hand, he sent someone to inform Li Xi to accept King Xiutu's surrender, and on the other hand, he sent someone to count the spoils and collect the weapons and war horses of the Huns.The biggest gain is the war horses. More than 3 war horses can equip at least [-] cavalry, which provides the possibility for the next stage of the battle to attack Henan.

Without time to wait for the detailed statistical data to come out, Li Guang wrote the victory report and ordered someone to send it to Chang'an on a fast horse.

The Son of Heaven stood on the porch, watching Wei Zifu and Wei Shaoer whispering aside, a little absent-minded, and didn't even notice Wei Shaoer's soft eyes.

"Your Majesty..." Han Yan walked in quickly, with a happy face, holding a green pouch in his hand.

The emperor's eyes lit up immediately, and he greeted him. "A document from Longxi?"

"Yes." Han Yan smiled brightly, and her already pretty face was even brighter now.When the emperor saw him, he felt inexplicably better. "Could it be that the preparations are ready and the opportunity to attack is ripe?"

"It should be. I think the knight delivering the letter is in a good mood. It should be good news."

"Really?" The emperor opened the green bag and glanced twice, his eyebrows suddenly raised, and he strode out of the hall, walking, and said: "Wang Sun, hurry up and send Yan Zhu, Mei Gao and others to the Chengming Hall to discuss matters." .”

Han Yan hurriedly followed. "Your Majesty, is it time to attack?"

The emperor took two steps and stopped suddenly.He looked back at Han Yan, unable to hide the ecstasy in his eyes. "It's not only possible to attack, it's a great victory in the first battle! Li Guang and Liang Xiao forced the landing of King Xiutu, captured Wanqi from the Huns, and got nearly [-] horses. They immediately..."

He stopped suddenly, his eyes glowing. "No, not right away. They should be on their way to attack Henan at this moment. Wang Sun, we must hurry up and order Han Anguo and Cheng Bushi to attack immediately, encircle King Baiyang and King Loufan, and take Henan in one fell swoop."

Han Yan was dumbfounded.The news was too shocking. Li Guang and Liang Xiao forced King Xiutu to surrender and got [-] horses. How...is this possible?

Seeing Han Yan in a daze, the Son of Heaven became a little anxious, and kicked Han Yan's ass. "Not yet!"

Han Yan rushed away as if waking up from a dream.

After a meal, the emperor rushed to the Chengming Hall, where Yan Zhu, King Wuqiu Shou, Mei Gao and others were already waiting.They have already got the general news from Han Yan's mouth, and they all have happy faces.Each of them is a participant in this comprehensive counterattack. Although they have not been on the battlefield in person, they cannot be named as Marquis by military merit like Li Guang and Liang Xiao, but rewards are indispensable.At this moment, even Yan Zhu, who had always been at odds with Liang Xiao, was very excited.

After reading the good news, confirming that the news was correct, and knowing the specific situation, they were even more overjoyed.Li Guang, Liang Xiao and others not only forced the surrender of King Xiutu, but also seized more than 3 horses. The biggest shortcoming of the Han army's shortage of horses was made up for, and there were enough troops to launch the next stage of the battle. A surprise that exceeded everyone's expectations.

It's a good sign to win the first battle.

Meigao took the lead and said loudly: "Your Majesty, King Xiutu was captured in one battle, and Hexi is at your fingertips. This is God's protection of the great man. Congratulations!"

"That's right, the shame of 60 years can finally be washed away."

"If the next battle goes well, and the land of Henan is recaptured in one fell swoop, and the Huns are expelled from the Great Wall, who will dare to question your majesty's wisdom? Who will dare to say that your majesty has improperly employed people?" , please start today."

The emperor was extremely pleased and laughed out loud.

After urgent discussions, they agreed to notify Han Anguo, Cheng Bushi and others who were on standby in Yanmen and Shangjun as soon as possible to attack immediately and surround King Aries and King Loufan to prevent them from escaping.

After the discussion was completed, the emperor immediately summoned the prime minister Tian Fu and other important officials.Hearing of the great victory in Longyou, King Xiutu's [-] elite cavalry were annihilated, and a large number of horses and luggage were seized. Tian Fu, who had been quite critical of the war with the Xiongnu, immediately changed the direction of the wind and sang praises.

At dusk, the knights with the edict rode out of Chang'an City, heading towards Shangjun and Yanmen.

Chang'an City was quiet and peaceful, unaware that a massive counterattack had already begun.
