Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 580
Fifty miles away, even though Tiao was sitting on the horseback, his body rose and fell with the horse, and his mood fluctuated accordingly.

After chasing for five days, the more he chased, the less confident he became.

As the masters of the grassland, the Huns have lived on horseback since they were young, and it is normal for them to chase or escape continuously during battle.But fighting the Han army, there are not many opportunities to encounter this situation.As far as Tiao Li's experience is concerned, it was the first time in his life that he encountered a Han army full of cavalry.After chasing for five days and traveling more than 1000 miles, the Han army has not collapsed, which is something he never thought about.

Although Tiao had participated in the last battle of Henan, he was careless for a while and was burned by Liang Xiao, which directly led to the defeat of the Xiongnu.Since then, he has left a psychological shadow. Whenever he fights with the Han army, his first reaction is to ask if the opponent is Liang Xiao. Some people even make fun of him for this, saying that he has a fear of beams.

Every time he heard such remarks, Tiao was very annoyed, and even lost his temper.But in private, he himself felt that he had an indescribable fear of Liang Xiao.When King Youxian assembled his army to attack Dawan, Liang Xiao led more than a thousand men and marched thousands of miles away. In the north of Yanzhi Mountain, Liang Xiao lined up with more than a hundred veterans and killed him. Guo Duan turned him into a stray dog.

Every time he met Liang Xiao, he would lose the battle, and the defeat would be ugly.He felt that Liang Xiao was his nemesis, how could he not be afraid.

This time, he repeatedly confirmed that the general of the Han army was not Liang Xiao, so he mustered up the courage to pursue him.Otherwise, even if King Youxian gave the order, he would not have chased him for so long.

The scouts said that the Han army is about 1 people, one man with three horses, and the equipment is very good.They headed west all the way, and it seemed that they were heading for the logistics of the Huns' army.Although Tiao is the left wing of the army, his task is to protect the flank of the army and prevent the Han army from breaking into the rear. This situation cannot be taken lightly.One is the responsibility, and the other is that the horses and equipment of the Han army also make him jealous.If he could get the equipment and war horses of the Han army, his strength would be greatly improved, and no one would dare to say in front of him that he only got what he is today by flattering the Right Wise King.

Although Tiao did not launch an attack directly, he just hoped to drag down the Han army.Good equipment does not guarantee that the Han army will not encounter danger.On the grassland, the most dangerous thing is not the enemy, but the environment.Tiao hopes that the vast grassland can trap the Han army and create opportunities for him.Once the Han army lost their way, could not find the water source in time, and were thirsty for a few days, they would soon lose their combat effectiveness.

However, although the situation was out of tune, as expected, the Han army seemed to be very familiar with the grassland, so they drove straight in and reached the Xiongnu River without any detours.

When hearing the scout's report, Tiao Li's heart sank a lot.Once the Han army found a source of water, there would be no threat of hunger and thirst.The strength of the two sides is equal, and his advantage is not obvious. Even if he can win, it may be a miserable victory.

Although Diao hesitated for a long time, he decided to launch an attack, at least to hold back these Han troops. If they were allowed to continue westward, the supply troops behind King Youxian might be attacked, and the war that had been prepared for several years would be ruined once again. .King Youxian spared him last time, and if he made a mistake again this time, King Youxian would definitely cut off his head.

I hope that the equipment of the Han army can compensate for my loss.Tiao secretly prayed in his heart, ordered to speed up and prepare to attack.

Two hours later, Diao arrived near the Xiongnu River.

The Han army did not leave. On the hillside, the battle flag was fluttering. There was a large flag in the middle, with more than a dozen war horses standing under it, as if they were observing the battlefield.It was too far away, although Tiao couldn't tell who it was, nor could he recognize the emblem on the big flag.

So far, the generals of the two sides have not met face to face, and there have only been small-scale conflicts between scouts.The stirrups made up for the shortcomings of the knights of the Han army. The Xiongnu scouts had no advantage at all. After several conflicts, they not only failed to take advantage, but lost a lot of manpower.The most direct consequence is that although Tiao still doesn't know who the main general of the Han army is, he only knows that it is not Liang Xiao.

Seeing that the Han army was waiting for work with ease, Tiao frowned.He is now facing an unfavorable situation. He will suffer a lot when he fights on the battlefield chosen by the opponent and at the timing chosen by the opponent.Even so, Tiao still ordered to line up, but it was far away from the Han army, a thousand steps away.

This is his little trick.With such a long distance, the Han army can be prevented from accelerating by taking advantage of the slope, and there is no need to charge against the trend.If the Han army took the initiative to attack, then this distance of a thousand steps would also give him enough time to react.

Fifteen thousand Xiongnu cavalry lined up, although Tiaotong had four thousand elite cavalry in the center, and three or four thousand cavalry on the left and right sides. Those responsible for camel horses and luggage stayed behind, and at the same time kept vigilant to avoid enemies behind them.

Li Guang saw the formation of the Xiongnu with his clairvoyant eyes, and couldn't help sneering.This is the formation most commonly used by the Huns.If it was before, he had nothing to do, because he didn't have enough strength to fight against the Huns.But today was different, he was full of confidence, and he was sure of winning.

He turned his head, and through clairvoyance, he communicated with Wang Hui who was hiding behind the hill for the last time before the battle.Soon, Wang Hui asked the messenger to play the semaphore and agreed to Li Guang's tactical arrangement.

Li Guang put away his clairvoyance and smiled.He believed that Wang Hui would agree to his arrangement.Because he himself took on the arduous task of a frontal charge, but gave Wang Hui the opportunity to attack from the flanks, how could Wang Hui not agree.

However, the final result depends on each person's actual ability and who can seize the opportunity.

Li Guang called Li Gan. "Go and try the quality of the Huns."

Without hesitation, Li Gan cupped his hands and cupped his fists, and galloped his horse down the mountain. More than a dozen rangers urged their horses to follow closely behind.

Li Guang called Li Jiao again.Li Jiao served as the prefect of Wuwei for more than two years. The wind and sand on the fortress blackened his face and sharpened his will.In this expedition, he commanded [-] fine cavalry to lead an army alone. Although he did not have the title of lieutenant general, he actually had the same status as Wang Hui.

"Your elder brother has long been a Marquis, and your younger brother is also a Marquis of Guannei. There are four people in my family, but you don't have a title yet."

Li Jiao was silent, but his eyes were very warm.Of course he knew this fact, and held back his strength for a long time.Li Guang called him here at this time, naturally not to flog him, but to give him a chance.

"Later, I will directly attack the main formation of the Xiongnu's central army, and Wang Hui will attack the right wing. Don't move, just wait here, waiting for an arrow to seal your throat. Understand?"

Li Jiao's eyes narrowed slightly. "General, what if the battle is not good for you?"

"Impossible." Li Guang sneered: "I've been planning for so long, just for such an opportunity, how can it be unfavorable. Listen, if you don't have a chance to seal your throat with an arrow, just wait, don't act rashly, even I can't attack at will even if I die in battle, understand?"

"General..."

"Shut up, this is an order." Li Guang shouted.He looked at Li Jiao for a moment, then slowed down his tone again. "There are four lords in one family, and they are all won by military exploits. I dare not say that there will be no successors, at least no ones before. Boy, don't ruin my big business."

Lijiao's eyes were moist.Of course he knew Li Guang's intentions.One family of four princes is certainly nice to hear, but the most fundamental intention is to give him a chance to make meritorious service and become a prince.It's not easy to be a Marquis, if he doesn't have outstanding military exploits, he still has no hope of being a Marquis this time.But if he attacks as a winner or loser, or even beheads one or two Xiongnu little kings, he will be much closer to being a Marquis.

"Here."

"Go." Li Guang waved his hand, signaling Li Jiao to return to his seat.Li Jiao got on his horse and galloped away.

At this time, Li Gan brought more than ten riders to the front of the Huns.Instead of slowing down, they urged their horses to speed up and charged directly at the Huns' battle formation.

The Huns were taken aback.Seeing the dozen or so Han soldiers coming in front of them, they thought they were yelling and cursing, or fighting one-on-one to boost morale, but they never thought that these Han soldiers came to charge the battle.

More than ten riders dare to attack a large formation of ten thousand people, and no one with normal thinking can do it.

However, Li Guang gave such an order, and Li Gan and the ranger beside him also accepted the order without hesitation. It must be said that they were indeed a little crazy.And it's this madness that creates opportunities for them.The Huns did not expect this situation at all, and when they realized that the situation was wrong, Li Gan had already rushed in front of them.

Li Gan raised his bow and set his arrows, and shot three arrows in one go.

The arrow left the string and leaped thirty or forty steps in an instant. Before the three Hun knights could react, they were shot and fell off their horses.

Li Gan and others rode their horses to kill them. Two rangers armed with spears and knives kicked the horses violently and rushed in front of Li Gan. The Huns fell.

They galloped wildly, wedged into the depths of the battle formation at the fastest speed.With the sword and spear in front, they rushed forward with all their strength, while the archers kept waving their hands, shooting sharp arrows one after another, killing the Hun knights who reacted first.

For the cavalry, the formation is just ready to charge, and there is still a distance from the battle.Unlike the Han army, the Huns had a relatively strict battle formation. They were more free and loose. There was often a certain distance between the cavalry and the cavalry, which was enough for one or two cavalry to pass quickly.This is not only for the convenience of charging, but also to make the formation bigger and stronger.

However, today they encountered an unexpected situation.Without any preparation at all, more than a dozen Han army knights came in like this.They rode their horses and galloped wildly, galloping between the knights and shooting feathered arrows, knocking down one Hun knight after another to the ground.

The Huns were in a mess, but only those who saw the Han knights knew what was going on, and the others didn't know.When the Han army came to them, it was too late for them to react.The war horses did not accelerate, facing the full-speed charge of the Han army knights, the flying feather arrows, the Huns even had no time to draw out their knives, they were shot by the arrows, slashed by the swords, and screamed in horror.

Li Gan and the others felt as if they were in a land of no one. Those Hun knights who sat on their horses and only had time to show surprise in their eyes were living targets, allowing them to kill.Behind them, one after another, the Hun knights fell in a pool of blood, in a mess.

Fear spread rapidly.

By the time Tiao Li realized what had happened, Li Gan and the others had already gone more than a hundred steps into the Huns' battle formation.Panic spread behind them like water waves, more and more Huns shouted, horns sounded, and the Huns tried to adjust their battle formation to stop these uninvited guests.

Li Gan put away his bow, drew out his saber, and shouted sharply: "Brothers, are you happy?"

The rangers shouted in unison: "Sweet!"

"Are you scared?"

"I'm afraid of a bird." The rangers laughed, kicked their horses again, and accelerated forward.

"Happy!" Li Gan also burst out laughing. "Hugou is nothing more than that. Brothers, let's kill it!"

"Here!"

Li Gance immediately stepped forward, rushing to the front and back. While speaking, he swung his saber like a wheel, and cut down several Hun knights one after another.Blood splattered and soon stained his face and armor red, and even the war horse was stained with a lot of blood.

The rangers followed closely behind, roaring in unison, killing wantonly, splashing blood all the way.

The Huns living in the middle of the formation were stunned when they saw the bloody men and bloody horses suddenly appearing in front of them.war started?But why did not hear the horn.These people are covered in blood, are they humans or ghosts?How did they appear here?

In a hurry, many Huns didn't understand what was going on, so they became ghosts under the knife in a daze.

The Xiongnu's central army had more than [-] cavalry, and the battle formation was about [-] paces wide and two to three hundred paces deep. the rear.

The knights in the rear in the distance looked at this scene in surprise, not knowing what happened. The commander of the rear army blew his trumpet to ask about the situation while ordering the guard.All of a sudden, the trumpets sounded one after another, creating a mess.

Li Gan wiped the blood on his face, turned his horse's head, and rushed to the other side of the Chinese army formation.

"Brothers, let's fight!"

"Here!" The rangers were also very excited by the blood, only killing was left in their minds, and they had no time to consider whether Li Gan's order was reasonable. They only knew to follow Li Gan, and they would kill wherever Li Gan went. to where.

Like a whirlwind, Li Gan and the others circled to the other side and plunged in again.

This time, they came from behind the Huns.The Huns heard the horn and knew that there was an accident, but they didn't know what the accident was.When he was in a panic, the enemy came from behind, his hands and feet were in a panic, and his panic was multiplied.When many Huns heard the shouts of killing behind them, their first reaction was not to fight, but to avoid.

Facing sudden unknown dangers, this is the most instinctive reaction of human beings.

Li Gan's charge this time was more relaxed. They quickly killed the Huns' battle formation. With blood all over their bodies, under the terrified eyes of the Huns, they floated away and came straight to the hillside, before Li Guang.

Li Gan took his left foot out of the stirrup, put it across the saddle, wiped off the blood on the saber, and said carelessly: "Hu Gou is easy with you."

The generals of the Han army had already seen this scene, and upon hearing this sentence, their blood boiled and their morale rose. They all looked at Li Guang at the same time, wishing to go into battle immediately, just like Li Gan and the others, to slaughter Hugou.

Li Guang smiled slightly, drew out his saber, and pointed forward lightly. "Beat the drums and start charging!"

"Here!" The orderly waved his arms and beat the war drum.The sound of war drums quickly spread across the battlefield, and the knights of the Han army lightly kicked their horses and began to trot and charge.
