The Liaodong Iron Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 196 The Decisive Battle at Wuhuan IV

After separating from the cavalry, Huang Xu headed towards White Wolf Mountain under the guidance of Tian Yuwei.Of course, there must be enough drama in the middle, otherwise my intentions will be fully exposed.Up to now, batch after batch of Wuhuan scouts appeared around the five thousand infantry, Huang Xuxuan's heart was finally relieved.

"Lieutenant Huang, another batch of Wuhuan scouts has left!" During the march, a Tianyu guard came to report quickly.For anti-reconnaissance methods, today's Tianyuwei has already practiced superbly. To put it bluntly, it is just a simple camouflage technique.

"I hope our hard work is not in vain!" Huang Xu said to himself, looking in the direction of Liucheng.

In Liucheng in western Liaoning, although Qiu Liju was determined to eat the five thousand Liaodong army infantry, he still carefully collected information from all directions.

"Report! Your Majesty, the infantry of the Han army are still heading towards Bailang Mountain, and they will arrive in three days at most!" Another group of scouts brought back the latest news, which made Qiu Liju even more restless.

"Have you ever investigated the movements of the cavalry of the Liaodong Army?" Qiu Liju asked anxiously.

"My lord, none of the four batches of scouts sent has returned!"

Hearing this, Qiu Liju waved his hand, signaling the scouts to leave first.Ta Dun and Lou Ban on the side watched Qiu Liju walking back and forth silently, the two had never met before in this situation!
"Father Khan, once the infantry of the Liaodong Army arrives at Bailang Mountain, it will be very difficult to wipe them out. Don't miss this opportunity!" Ta Dun reminded.

Hearing Ta Dun's words, Qiu Liju paused but did not speak.Before the cavalry movement of the Liaodong Army is clear, he will not make a final decision. The Han people are as cunning as foxes, so Qiu Liju dare not be careless!
Seeing Qiu Liju, Ta Dun was unmoved, and looked back at Lou Ban, hoping that he could persuade him together, but Lou Ban shook his head, and signaled Ta Dun to be safe and don't be impatient!In Lou Ban's heart, the Han people should not be underestimated. The combat power of the Liaodong Han army is no longer what it used to be. We must act carefully, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Da da da" a rush of footsteps came to the ears of the three.

"Report! Your Majesty, the Liaodong cavalry returned to the east and failed to find the infantry! Only one of the four groups of scouts managed to escape the pursuit!" A personal guard immediately reported.

"Okay! God-given opportunity, let you Han people be as cunning as a fox, let's see where you go today!" Qiu Liju said excitedly, rubbing his hands.

After half a stick of incense, the south gate of Liucheng opened wide. Qiu Liju and Ta Dun led [-] cavalry to the [-] disoriented infantry of the Liaodong Army, while Liucheng only left Lou Ban and [-] cavalry to defend.Every move of the Wuhuan people has long been detected by Liao Hua's Tianyu Guards. The Wuhuan army will be attracted by the five thousand infantry led by Huang Xu to the White Wolf Mountain area, while the Tianyu Guards led by Liao Hua will be around Liucheng. Quietly lurking down, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.

"Report! Lieutenant Huang, Tianyuwei has sent a message that the Wuhuan army is coming towards me!"

"Haha, the time has finally come! The whole army was ordered to choose a muddy place to set up a circular defensive formation, with the carriages guarding the periphery, the crossbowmen in front, the spearmen next, and the archers in the middle!" own abilities!
"Tat-tat-tat" the rapid sound of horseshoes approaching from far to near, the Liaodong Han army, which had already arranged their formation, was waiting in full force.Due to the heavy rain for the past ten days, the ground was extremely muddy, the infantry marched very slowly, and Wuhuan's cavalry were not much better.

Qiu Liju and others who came at full speed found that the Liaodong Han army had already formed an formation, so they knew that today would be a head-to-head battle!

The Wuhuan cavalry roared around the formation of the Liaodong Han army a few times, but they couldn't find a suitable attack point.Depressed, Qiu Liju had no choice but to order the Han army to be surrounded immediately.

"Father Khan, my son, please order to lead the attack!" Ta Dun said eagerly to get up first.

Looking at the large circular formation of the Han infantry, Qiu Liju had no better way for a while, so he had to agree to Ta Dun's plea.Since there is no weakness, then play the enemy's weakness!Qiu Liju has always firmly believed that once the formation of infantry versus cavalry is dispersed, it will be a dead end.If Huo Yu came here again, he would definitely persuade Qiu Liju to study history well.

In the Western Han Dynasty, Li Ling used a defensive formation to fight against the [-] cavalry of Qiedan Hou Shanyu in Junji Mountain. The Han army used carts as a battalion and deployed it outside the camp. The soldiers in the front line held halberds and shields, and the soldiers in the back line held bows and arrows.Seeing that the Han army was few, the Xiongnu attacked the Han army. As a result, the Han army fired thousands of crossbows. The Huns fell in response and were forced to retreat up the mountain.

Although the terrain and unit configuration are slightly different, Huo Yu has absolute reasons to believe that the Shenji Battalion he spent a lot of money to build can teach the Wuhuan cavalry a good lesson!
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... " recalled the sound of desolate horns, Tadun charged forward with [-] Wuhuan cavalrymen.Due to the muddy place where the Han army deployed, the Wuhuan cavalry's charge was greatly restricted. For a while, there was a lot of noise and confusion.

Huang Xu was in the ring formation, looking coldly at the Wuhuan cavalry in front of him.Once the cavalry loses speed, that side will become the best target!After the Wuhuan people rushed into the range of their bows and arrows, Huang Xu gave an order, and a rain of arrows poured out from the Han army formation. The Wuhuan cavalry were caught off guard, and many arrows fell off their horses.

The archers of the Liaodong Army were all trained by Huang Zhong himself, so both the rate of fire and the shooting method have been greatly improved. According to the normal charge speed of the cavalry, they cannot open their bows after three rounds.However, each of the archers of the Han army shot six arrows, and the Wuhuan cavalry hadn't gotten close, so the first round of charge was disintegrated by the Han army.Tadun dropped the corpses on the ground, and retreated slowly.

Qiu Liju, who was in the back formation, saw clearly the battle just now. Tadun's choice was not wrong. The mistake was that the surrounding area of ​​the Han army's formation was too muddy, and the cavalry could not accelerate their charge at all.Moreover, the attack just now was only on one side, and the Han army could easily concentrate all the archers.

Therefore, Qiu Liju did not scold Tadun, but instead sent another Chief Wan Fu to assist Tadun to attack from both sides at the same time.Qiu Liju didn't believe that the formation of the Han army was the same as Tietong. Once his own cavalry rushed in, a massacre was what he would most like to see.

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" The desolate horn sounded again, and the Wuhuan cavalry who hadn't rested for a long time came again.But this time it came from two directions at the same time.

"Hmph! Even this small group of people dare to charge forward!" Huang Xu said with a sneer.

It wasn't that Huang Xu underestimated the Wuhuan cavalry, but that the Liannu in his hand was too powerful!Huang Xu believed that after today's battle, the Wuhuan cavalry would be terrified when they saw Liannu.

The same attack method appeared again, but the concentration of bows and arrows of the Han army was much reduced.The passionate Wuhuan cavalry rushed past the rain of arrows from the Han army with howls, as if they had seen the dawn of victory. However, the Wuhuan cavalry was hit again by the crossbow arrows flying towards them!
