Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    There will always be ups and downs in life.  Facing the powerful and fierce black-armored cavalry, the Huns tribe's response was basically correct. The heavy cavalry was indeed slower than the light cavalry. Wearing more than 20 kilograms of iron armor and light leather armor consume different physical energy.  The consumption directly affects the knight's speed of drawing the sword, the power of swinging the sword and the speed of turning and avoiding, and the combat effectiveness will also be greatly reduced.  The individual quality of the Hun tribe's cavalry is only 40 to 50% of that of the black armored cavalry. Sooner or later, they will be slaughtered in a head-on confrontation. However, if they are replaced by tired knights who can usually only perform at 20 to 30% of their best, the scene will be completely different.  .  The fifty-horse sharpshooter is the ultimate skill, and is the only bargaining chip to change the direction of the battle. As long as he restrains the strongest wave of attacks from the Han cavalry, he can go all out in one go, then weaken again, and all three will be exhausted. If the strongest attack is interrupted, he will turn around.  Decline, every general who is proficient in battle formations will experience it.  Although the number of tribal sharpshooters is small, it is the expectation of tens of thousands of people. The lethality brought by these fifty people can even be comparable to that of five thousand fresh troops. It is especially effective at killing powerful enemies at critical battle points. Even five thousand cavalry is not as good as five thousand cavalry.  Ten mounted marksmen.  The result of the battle was as they expected. The ordinary tribal cavalry tried their best to kill a black armored cavalry. The tribal sharpshooter would kill the powerful enemy with almost every arrow he fired. Occasionally, he would quickly catch the arrow and kill him if he missed.  In a quarter of an hour, more than 400 black-armored cavalry who were as hard as tortoise shells were killed, and the powerful offensive momentum of the Han army was basically contained.  The morale of the Han army dropped slightly, but the morale of the tribal cavalry increased greatly. They worked hard to bring the crisis back. They were evenly matched on the scene and had the advantage. As the situation continued, the absolute disadvantage of the Han army in terms of numbers gradually became apparent.  Heavy armor will cause war horses and knights to quickly enter a period of fatigue. A tired war horse not only slows down its running speed, but also its flexibility to turn and avoid. The sluggish black-armored cavalry is a slow-moving target, even if it has super defense.  Even the turtle shell cannot escape the fate of being slowly worn to death.  Everything was planned perfectly.  The tribal kings of the Xiongnu tried their best, and the Han army showed the decline they most expected. However, they did not expect that the Han army did not give them a chance to breathe and equalize. The general of the Han army quickly killed all the tribal sharpshooters, fully expecting the tribal sharpshooters.  He could kill the black-armored cavalry, but he was killed in just a few dozen breaths.  The Han general did not stop at all.  He rushed to the forefront of the battle line. The Han guards who came from the left and right held swords and strangled the approaching Huns cavalry. The general was not afraid of the flying arrows. He reined in the reins and stood on his horse, looking at the Huns nobles who were far away.  He holds a strong bow in his left hand and holds three sharp arrows in his right hand.  Aiming at the dozen Hun King flags a hundred meters away.  "No! He's going to kill us!" "Hurry and hide!" In an instant, three arrows flew together, like three flying crows focusing on their target instantly.  Click!  The leopard flag of King Lou Fan and the sheep head flag of King Aries fell down, and a Pi Xiaowang flag also fell down. The three king flags were shot down by the Han generals in front of their faces, almost giving them a slap in the face.  What's even more ridiculous is that the Xiongnu King Pi Xiaowang was hiding from arrows in a panic. Some people simply jumped off their horses and got under the heavy protection of their guards, but they didn't expect that the goal of the Han army general was not their lives, but just shot down their king's flag.  That¡¯s all.  The Xiongnu King Pi Xiaowang lost his face and was in trouble.  The momentum of the Xiongnu armies was taken away, and their morale was shaken.  "The king's flag was shot down in front of his face, and he could be killed in front of his face. The Hun tribe cavalry could not find a way to resist.  The lightly armored and unarmored tribal cavalry were not good at fighting at close quarters, and they did not take any advantage in long-range shooting. The tribal sharpshooters who were most confident of making a comeback were all killed, and the Huns had nothing to do.  King Lou Fan suddenly thought of Zhao She's flying knife. The feeling of being stared at was so terrifying that he was so frightened that he trembled all over and said: "Retreat! Retreat immediately!" "What? You want to retreat?" "  Retreat quickly. If you don't retreat, it will be too late." King Lou Fan suddenly turned around and gave the order, then looked at Aries King deeply and rode away without looking back.  The Loufan tribe cavalry immediately moved back after receiving the order, regardless of whether the battle line was maintained or not.  He doesn't even care about the life and death of his allies.  The Aries King was dumbfounded. His old brother had lost control at the critical moment. He knew very well that once King Loufan ran away, he would be unable to fight. Seeing that the situation was not good, he did not hesitate and immediately ordered the Aries tribe to retreat quickly. The two main tribes  All the kings fled. When Pi Xiaowang saw that something was wrong, he ordered to escape one after another. The situation on the battlefield suddenly reversed 180 degrees. A moment ago, he was full of confidence to regain the disadvantage and believed that he could achieve a 50-50 victory.  In an instant, morale collapsed and everyone fled.  But how could the Han army let them escape?  "Chase! Divide your troops into three groups and chase them out! All the way at the Yellow River Ferry, the Lazy Pig Aries King's troops are determined not to allow them to cross the river to Henan.Chasing King Lou Fan all the way to prevent his tribe from escaping to the west, chasing the Xiongnu King Pi Xiao who was scattered all the way, finding their tribe's pasture and quickly sweeping them away did not give them a chance to escape!  " Zhao Junyu took the lead: "I will chase the Aries King across the river, and I promise not to let the Aries King escape.  " "I will go after the Hun tribes that are fleeing in all directions. It will be enough to take the heavy cavalry with me.  "Zhou Zuoche and Guan Qiang said in unison. Wei Qing jumped up and said, "Then let's go after King Loufan and resolutely prevent King Loufan's troops from escaping to the Youxian King's Court area.  "    "you?  You can't go.  " Wei Qing was anxious: "Brother-in-law, why can't I go?  I am fifteen years old this year and can kill two stones with a fighting bow.  " "You are still too young. Your sister sent you to me for training. She did not ask you to lead the troops in a reckless way. You should train with me for two years and then lead the troops alone. After you follow me, you should go after Wang Yigu Lie in Loufan.  The old fox is gone.  ¡± The first of the Aries King¡¯s pursuers to be overtaken was due to his bad luck. There happened to be a shortage of boats at the ferry. The Aries King was busy searching for boats to cut down trees for rafts, but at this moment  They were overtaken by the Yulin Cavalry led by Zhao Junyu. Zhao Junyu only led more than 7,000 Yulin Cavalry. More than 2,100 of the Aries King's troops were killed and there were still about 10,000 defeated troops. The difference in strength between the two sides was not large.  , but the morale was so bad that the Aries King's cavalry lost all their courage to fight when they saw the Han army. More than 10,000 people crowded towards the ferry, trying to squeeze into the few ten.  Several civilian ships and nearly ten thousand people were crowded together and could not move at all. The black-armored cavalry easily attacked the crowd and turned them upside down. They almost stood there and watched as the Han army swung their swords and beheaded them.  The Aries King on the boat helped him, but the Aries King himself was too busy to care about the people on the shore. He cut off the cable and fled to the south bank desperately.  All the more than 9,000 Aries tribe cavalrymen surrendered. Most of the Aries tribesmen who dominated Henan were almost destroyed. Zhao Junyu was not satisfied with this. He sent 5,000 black armored cavalry to escort the prisoners back to the Yinshan camp, and took 2,000 men with him.  The most abundant black-armored cavalry gathered boats and crossed the river to pursue them. At this time, the Baiyang tribe in Henan was almost an empty village. Almost all the young and strong Huns were left on the north bank of the Yellow River. More than 300 people managed to escape by boat.  More than 300 people, all nobles and guards of the Aries tribe, crossed the Yellow River and caught up with the Aries King Balatulun. It was very interesting when he captured him. The old guy didn't expect that the Han army would continue to pursue him.  I thought that I would be safe after crossing the Yellow River, so I walked back slowly after getting off the boat, but before I could get back to the camp, I was caught and made a prisoner. "King Aries, please lead the way!"  We want to visit your camp. As a master, you have to fulfill your duties as a landlord.  "    "Hahaha.  I heard that the Huns are very hospitable. King Aries wants to think about how to entertain our group of distant guests.  " Balatulun, the Aries King, looked depressed, with a grimace on his face as he was tied up and led the way. This was probably the most painful time in his life when he took a guest home. On the other side. Zhou Zuoche and Guan Qiang Bingfen led the way respectively.  Four thousand heavy cavalry pursued along the foothills of Yangshan Mountain. Seeing the arrival of autumn, the Xiongnu tribe in Monan would not camp north of Yangshan Mountain because the cold air in the north would freeze the tribe's cattle and sheep, and ordinary tribesmen would also be affected.  The cold winter in the north is unbearable. The Hetao Plain south of Yangshan and Yinshan is the best wintering place. With the mountains blocking most of the cold air in Siberia, at least the winter will no longer be a painful conflict for the wise king.  One is the geographical division of Yinshan and Yangshan. Maodun Shanyu ruled that most of the Hetao Plain, including Yinshan, belonged to King Youxian. This created a hidden danger for the struggle between the left and right. Everyone carried a heavy load.  Equipped with lances and two sharp steel knives, they are very pure melee killers. As long as they are in close contact, they can instantly tear the enemy apart with the powerful explosive power of the combination of war horses and knights. This is especially effective against the Huns' light armor and unarmored cavalry.  When encountering heavy cavalry, they usually cut them off with a sword. It was like seeing a nightmare. Seeing the black-armored cavalry, they were frightened and ran away desperately. However, the direction of their escape could not be the cold wilderness north of Yangshan, they would only go towards their own home.  The tribesmen fled desperately, unaware that the wolves had been lured into the house. When they realized the seriousness of the situation, it was too late. Most of the small tribes put down their weapons without any resistance. A small number of them resisted and were slaughtered by the heavy cavalry at close range.  It is foolish to use bows and arrows to fight back when charging. Every one-sided crushing will bring a deep psychological shadow to the resisting tribe. "Vulnerable!"  The Huns are simply vulnerable!  ¡± Chen He pulled out the steel knife.?Dark red blood stains flowed down the blade, and the Huns kneeling on the ground trembled like frightened voles encountering their natural enemies. They were shivering.  At the same time, King Loufan was stuck in the camp and refused to come out.  Outside the camp, there are more than 7,000 Yulin Cavalry and more than 1,000 private tribes of Black Cavalry calling for formation.  Cao Shi shouted: "If King Loufan doesn't come out and surrender, I'll give you a quarter of an hour to think it over. If you don't come out, I will rush in and kill. Don't think that those few wooden stakes and fences can stop the Han army."  "No! Don't kill us. We surrender." The Xiongnu nobles who spoke a difficult Chinese language raised their hands: "Our king has decided to surrender. Please bypass our people." King Lou Fan tied him up with ropes.  He walked out and surrendered himself, and the relatives and subordinates of King Loufan also came out crying. King Yigu Lie of Loufan looked up at the sky and shouted in despair: "It's over! The Loufan tribe is over!" (To be continued)
