Editing of the ten loyal ministers and the emperors standing up

Chapter 90 The battle is getting more intense
In this battle, the Huns made great achievements and were the MVP of the game!

Big man.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was stunned. He did not expect Huo Qubing to defeat the opponent's forward so easily.

Is this battle too easy?Winning is a bit unbelievable?
Because this real scene happened in various places on this battlefield.

At this moment, they finally understood the true meaning of the saying that one Han defeated the Wuhu and that in later generations, the Han army was victorious in battles with huge disparities in numbers among the Han armies!
"Report, our forward army has been completely destroyed and suffered heavy losses! 5000 people were almost wiped out!"

"And the Han army has fled back to the hillside, unable to escape the battle!"

Faced with this dimensionality reduction attack, both King Hunxie and King Xiutu were stunned.

These are the 5000 elites of the Huns!

A total of 5000 soldiers!
In less than half a day, they were all destroyed!

"Kill, break through the Han army camp for me, kill for me!"

As it was expected that Huo Qubing did not have many bows and arrows, King Hunxie ordered the cavalry troops to charge directly as soon as the battle began.
As a result, what awaited him was a volley of powerful crossbows from the Han army. Even if the lucky Huns cavalry rushed to the front of the formation, the Han army was still under command.

The Hunxie cavalry began to advance, and the battle was about to break out.

Within the shooting range, the Hunxie people began to load their arrows, but the arrows fired from the powerful crossbows of the Han army filled the sky, and hundreds of cavalrymen immediately fell to the ground.

The Han army's arrows seemed endless, not just a few blunt arrows per man.

At this moment, Hun Xieren didn't care so much and just rushed forward with one heart.

The moment the two armies came into contact, dozens of Han cavalry fell off their horses under the powerful impact of the opponent. This was completely different from the previous one-sided battle.

In the process of retreating, the Hunxie Army quickly made a kind of animal skin rope and tied it to the thin end of the mace. When swung at it, the attack range was not only farther than the long weapon of the Han Army, but also
It hit the armor with a dull "clang" sound, which was the sound of broken ribs.

Watching his own cavalry being knocked off their horses or knocked away, countless miserable screams could be heard in his ears. Huo Qubing ordered with the sound of cracking rocks and piercing clouds:

"Change formation!"

The Han army changed into a fish scale formation and sent Hunxie cavalry into the formation. Ten cavalry formed a group to protect each other.

It also relieves the pressure on the front row cavalry and avoids the strongest wave of enemy attacks.

The Hunxie army rushed into the Han army's formation, in small groups, regardless of their situation, and waved their maces at the Han army.

The Han army did not show any weakness and faced the enemy with long weapons. The two sides strangled each other.

The war horses fell one after another, and the swords faced the maces, fighting to the death.

After an afternoon of fierce fighting, the first wave of 8000 Huns cavalry lost more than [-] people and all their horses.

In this battle, the Han army also suffered heavy losses, with a total loss of 600 people!

Judging from this ratio, King Hunxie's chances of winning are still quite high.
But when he gave the order again, the tribal leaders under him were unwilling to fight anymore.

The fighting prowess of the Han army is obvious to all. If they continue to fight, even if they really win, I am afraid that even the Hunxie King's tribe will no longer exist.

The Hunxie people had plenty of war horses. The people who had escaped had mounted their war horses, and they still had a strength of fifteen or six thousand horsemen.

King Hunxie wanted to attack again, but the other tribes refused the offer to fight.

Other tribal kings are considering the survival of their tribes. Once the grassland tribes lose a lot of cavalry,
At worst, they lose their pasture and their sphere of influence shrinks; at worst, they become vassals of other tribes or even die out.

As night falls, King Xiutu and King Hunxie become more and more frightened!

King Xiutu said angrily:

"No, if we continue fighting like this, all the sons of our two tribes will die."

"King Zhelan and King Luhou are right behind the Han army. In order to save my son, we have to wait for the opportunity slowly!"

"Forget it, that's all it can do!"

With morale low, even King Hunxie had to take a break. At this moment, his only hope was that the 3000-strong pursuit force could defeat the 1000 men left by Huo Qubing.

If this is the case, then the Huns army can still complete the siege of Huo Qubing.

Douyin:

[King Zhelan and King Luhou: Do you want to listen to what you are saying? 】

[King Zhelan and King Luhou: We can’t fight, we can’t fight a little! 】

[Hahaha, I’m still waiting for reinforcements, but they’re all gone! 】

[They also wanted to surround me, but both of them were killed! 】

Not long after, the defeated troops finally came to report:
After several hours of fierce fighting, the Xiongnu army was defeated miserably. Although the death of the Han army in this battle is unknown,
But both King Zhelan and King Luhou were beheaded, and the entire army of 3000 people collapsed.

a few hours ago,

When Hunxie and the main force of the Han army temporarily left the battlefield, Zhelan tribe, Luhou tribe and Puduo army were still fighting fiercely.
Both sides have lost at least half of their troops, and if they continue to fight, it seems that they will both perish.

The two kings started to think about retreating. At this moment, they still had dozens of war horses!
As long as the two kings withdraw from the battlefield from both sides, other survivors who have lost their horses can also flee.

Puduo personally led his team in pursuit. Most of his soldiers were killed in the battle, which ignited his rage for revenge.

All the other Han soldiers who could move followed the two kings with their swords in hand.

King Zhelan and King Luhou were trapped and their horses were exhausted, and dozens of their riders were trapped and their horses were exhausted. They were overtaken before they could run very far.

King Zhelan was hit by several arrows and fell off his horse and died. King Luhou was injured and dismounted from his horse, intending to surrender, but many servants did not want to survive, so they killed him with a knife across the ground.

There was a fierce battle on Heli Mountain, with broken armor and bloody blood.

Zhelan died with an arrow, and Lu Hou was killed in succession.

The pursuers were all wiped out, which undoubtedly gave the Huns another layer of bad news!
The deaths of King Zhelan and King Luhou completely aborted King Hunxie's plan.

Although Huo Qubing's army was at the end of its battle at this time, the Xiongnu side no longer had the will to fight.

On the grassland, the weak eat the strong. Once they die in battle, or a large number of active members of the tribe die, the tribe will be annexed.

Some Xiongnu tribal leaders who saw something was wrong had other ideas, and the Huns fought differently from the Han army. The Han army killed those who retreated with force, but the Huns were different!
Let them take advantage, they will be stronger than anyone else, but let them fight to the death, this is impossible!

And the Huns have a rule. If you and your "friend" are from the same tribe, then if your "friend" dies in battle, you carry the body of your "friend" back.

Then his wife, his children, everything about him will be yours.

In this case, you expect the Huns to fight tooth and nail to the bitter end.

impossible.

At this point in the battle, King Hunxie had no choice but to command his troops to leave the battlefield, and continued to summon reinforcements, keeping a distance of more than [-] miles from the Han army, but still refused to give up.

Huo Qubing's army slowly withdrew eastward. At this time, there were still about [-] troops, but less than a thousand cavalry, almost a group of infantry, and there were not many arrow clusters left.

If it weren't for the life-saving armor on their bodies, the Hunxie tribe could definitely use the impact of the cavalry to surround and annihilate the Han army.

King Hunxie led his troops to pursue him here, but he coveted the territory of Zhelan and Luhou and became greedy!

He only sent a small group of men and horses to pretend to pursue him, but he led a large army to control the vast pastures of the two tribes and annexed their tribesmen.

This is the case on the grasslands. Once a tribe is defeated and loses the ability to protect its people, it can only integrate into other more powerful tribes.

It took Huo Qubing's army another three days to cross mountains and ridges from Gulangshui to Zhuanglangshui, and then they could reach the Yellow River by going down the river.
