In the next attack, because the Southern Huns cavalry were already familiar with the Han army's defense and their tactics were much more flexible, they consciously avoided and were careful of the various "planes" set up on the ground for ambushes. Although the speed of advancement has been reduced, casualties have been reduced a lot, and the effectiveness of the attack has also been improved a lot. They even adopted an alternative attack method with "minesweeping" as the precursor: unridden empty horses dragged the "Zhi Zhi Ya Ya" trees and were forcibly driven as the vanguard. Although some horses were lost in this way, the loss of soldiers was greatly reduced! They are also people with a sense of thinking, and no one is stupid!
Despite the heavy rain of arrows from the Han army, the Southern Huns cavalry experienced a difficult "trek" under the frenzied drive of the Southern Xiongnu eldest and minor chanyu Huchuquan and Mang Zhengji and his son, and were still shocked. At the edge of the Han army's camp, the two armies finally entered into face-to-face hand-to-hand combat. The Han army formed a 'horse-rejecting formation' that was half a foot high and more than ten feet long. While blocking the impact of the Southern Huns' cavalry, the Han soldiers hidden behind were also constantly expanding and contracting row after row. With spears and prods, they picked up the charging Southern Huns cavalry. The rumble of horses' hooves shakes the wilderness, the clash of swords and guns echoes throughout the world, and the mixture of roars and howls illustrates the 'cheapness' of life! The flying flesh and blood indicates the cruelty of human nature!
Behind the infantry phalanx that only extended outside the main camp of the Tun Army, the main generals such as Le Jin, Shi Huan, Hou Cheng, and Song Xian, except for Le Jin who was in the middle to dispatch and command, the other generals went to all sides to take the lead. organized a comprehensive resistance against the Southern Huns cavalry. Lu Bu, Wei Xu, Cheng Lian, etc., led the still intact cavalry in the camp to frequently find openings to attack, using small groups of counterattacks to cooperate with the infantry's resistance. At this time, all the generals' robes were stained with blood, and their beards and hair were unkempt, and they no longer looked like children!
Several days of cruel and iron-blooded strangulation not only caused huge losses to the Southern Xiongnu cavalry, but also caused nearly half of the Han army's infantry and cavalry casualties. Under the crazy "life-threatening" impact of the Southern Huns' cavalry, the Han army had reached the limit of its physical strength and endurance, and was already on the verge of collapse! Lu Bu, who had already attacked several times, slowed down the drive of the red rabbit horse and let the red rabbit horse snort and snort slowly to rest his strength. He couldn't help cursing in a hoarse voice: "Potter, potter! How come you haven't arrived yet? His grandma wants someone to hand over his life here, right?" He cursed and looked up to see that the formation on the west side was showing signs of being shaken again. , he hurriedly raised his halberd with his arms and halberd shaft stained with plasma: "Charge with me! Kill Hu!" Zongma led the more than a thousand cavalry beside him and killed him again
The strangulation has already entered a ¡®white heat¡¯ phase! Lu Bu, who rushed out of the garrison camp, had already entered the group of Southern Huns cavalry and could not get out! Maybe Hu Chuquan, Mang Zhengji and his son had long been eyeing Lu Bu, the Han army general known as the 'Flying General'? While driving the Southern Xiongnu cavalry to intensify their continued attack on the Han army, they also deliberately sent thousands more cavalry to pursue and intercept the cavalry led by Lu Bu who rushed out of the camp. As the Southern Xiongnu cavalry launched an all-out siege against Lu Bu, the Han cavalry following Lu Bu also fell off their horses one after another. At this time, nearly half of the cavalry beside Lu Bu had been lost. The always domineering Wenhou Lu Bu was Really in trouble for the first time!
Lu Bu, with his halberd flying and unabated in his majesty, kept roaring and chopped off the limbs of the Southern Huns' cavalry. He wildly drove the dragon colt and red rabbit horse that sat down, fighting with all his strength in the densely packed Southern Huns' cavalry. The men and horses galloped freely in the crowd, muttering secretly in their hearts: "It's fatal! It's fatal! His grandma's life is really in danger this time! Kill, kill! Kill one to get enough, kill two to earn one!" Shang, pottery merchant! A certain ghost wants to settle accounts with you!" I wonder how he can settle accounts after his life is 'lost'?
Lu Bu, who had been stunned by the killing, had been galloping non-stop among the Southern Xiongnu cavalry for nearly two hours, as if he had entered a state of numbness, and the only purpose his brain drove his limbs was to achieve. There is only one word 'kill' left! ¡
At this time, the number of cavalry following Lu Bu who were rushing back and forth was also decreasing, and there were only three or four hundred cavalry left! Lu Bu, who was confused and only had the word "kill" left in his heart, suddenly heard a burst of cheers from the remaining cavalry surrounding him: "The reinforcements have arrived! The reinforcements have arrived!"
"It's here! Potter! I'm going to fight for you!" Lu Bu couldn't help shouting hoarsely, and because his tense heartstrings suddenly relaxed, his brain felt dizzy like a lack of oxygen. , and almost fell off the red rabbit horse. Fortunately, a Han cavalryman beside him helped him, and Lu Bu was able to sit firmly on the horse again. After vigorously shaking his head, which was covered in blood and blood, to regain his composure, he rubbed his face covered in blood and sweat with his big hands (it looked more like a 'big painted face' with oil paint now!) before Lu Bu raised his eyes. Follow the iron horse beside youHe looked in the direction he pointed at randomly:
I saw a "Hunting" battle flag flying high in the distance, with "Xiliang Horse" written in big official script Chinese characters on it! Under the war banner, a tall Xiliang war horse (the 'expert' Lu Bu can naturally understand the origin of the tall Xiliang war horse.) took the lead in galloping like a gust of wind, and on the horse was a man with a gold helmet, silver armor, and a scarlet cloak. 'Hunting' was flying, and a big silver spear in his palm flew across the place. The barbarians' cavalry were knocked off their horses one after another. This extremely ferocious warrior! Behind the general's horse, closely followed by a group of fast and fierce cavalry with bright armors that looked like flashes of lightning, followed by bursts of high-pitched shouts: "Ho, ho, ho! The mighty general is invincible." Slaughter all the barbarians in the world!" The iron cavalry was like a sharp sword, cutting through the layers of the Southern Huns' iron cavalry, surging and frantically strangling them like a roaring wave
"His grandma's!" Lu Bu, who was so comfortable with the curse, couldn't help but uttered this "vulgar word" mechanically: "It was the potter's brother-in-law, the 'Mighty General' Ma Chao, who arrived first! Soldiers! Come on! Let Xiliang's 'horses' steal the show! Follow me and kill!" Lu Bu roared hoarsely and took the lead in charging into the Southern Huns' cavalry group. It is very slow to describe the whole process, but in fact, the whole process happened in an instant. Surrounded by the Southern Huns' cavalry, it was impossible for Lu Bu to take his time and take things leisurely, right?
The Southern Xiongnu cavalry, which had been attacking for many days, were naturally extremely tired. Moreover, even now, they were attacking the Han army camp one after another until the afternoon. Suddenly encountering the attack of the new force's cavalry led by Ma Chao, they hurriedly responded to the challenge. They were soon attacked by Ma Chao's cavalry and were beaten to a "mess"! Wen Chou, who was at the rear of the cavalry reinforcements, was still driving the cavalry reinforcements into the battlefield.
Huchuquan and Mang Zhengji, the eldest and minor chandeliers of the Southern Xiongnu, and their son, saw the most critical moment when they were about to defeat the Han army's camp, but reinforcements arrived, and it was Ma Chao, the famous "Shenweitian General" in Western Xinjiang. , the father and son couldn't help but look at each other and sighed. Their faces were gloomy and they had a premonition that the "nightmare" of the Southern Huns was coming! Hu Chuquan, who was already over fifty years old, shook his head and had no choice but to give an order to retreat immediately and withdraw from the battlefield where the two armies were fighting today. If the battle continues, due to the new force of the Han army, the Southern Huns cavalry may be completely defeated?
Ma Chao and Lu Bu pursued them for a while, but because the strength of the Southern Xiongnu cavalry was still very strong, and the rear team's blockade was also very tight, they had no choice but to return the army without self-interest. Lu Bu and Ma Chao, these two peerless warriors who were famous in foreign lands and were also dubbed "supreme" by the barbarians, met for the first time in the Hetao area!
