Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 209 The Huns Are Nothing But That

The night is like ink, and the bright moon is in the sky.

Lu Tai's five thousand cavalry were resting and waiting for orders in the dense forests on the left and right sides of Baiyu Mountain Pass.

All of a sudden, a fast horse galloped from outside the mountain pass like a whirlwind, and when it came close, the cavalry on horseback had already flew to the ground, and then knelt on one knee and panted and reported: "General, General, Huns, The Huns are coming!"

"Is it finally here?" Lu Tai's eyes flickered for a moment, and he raised his right hand lightly, and said coldly, "Send me the general order, all ministries and songs will gather immediately, ready to fight!"

"The general has an order, all ministries and songs must be assembled immediately, ready to fight!"

"The general has an order, all ministries and songs must be assembled immediately, ready to fight!"

"The general has an order, all ministries and songs must be assembled immediately, ready to fight!"

In an instant, the cavalry of the hundred and ten riders had already galloped towards the depths of the dense forest.

As soon as the general order was issued, the cavalry soldiers who had been resting and waiting in the woods got up one after another, stepped on the bonfire first, then quickly arranged their weapons, bows and arrows one by one, tightened the saddles and ropes and stirrups of the horses, and finally turned over Mounting the horse, it was like a brook converging into the sea, surging to the rear of the horses of their respective generals.

In less than a moment, the five thousand cavalry had already assembled.

As for Lu Tai, he had already climbed to the top of the mountain pass surrounded by more than a hundred of his own riders.

Looking down from a high position, under the cold moonlight, a black cavalry of the Huns is escorting thousands of Guanzhong women and children slowly marching towards Baiyu Mountain Pass. Although they are far away, they can still be faintly heard. The sad cries of women and children in Guanzhong, the triumphant laughter of the Huns, and the sound of shouting and cursing.

Deputy General Li Bidao: "General, the Xiongnu cavalry stretches for five miles, and there must be tens of thousands of horses!"

Lu Tai nodded slightly, but the expression on his face was still indifferent. The dozen or so young generals behind Lu Tai were also expressionless. There are only tens of thousands of Huns cavalry approaching Baiyu Mountain Pass, even if it is a hundred thousand cavalry, as long as Lu Tai gives an order, they will charge forward.

For the training of the Changle Camp, Lu Tai's methods can be called cruel, and the sword is directed, if you don't advance, you will die!

However, as the captain of Changle, Lu Tai would naturally not let the [-] cavalry of the Changle camp die in vain.

Almost in an instant, Lu Tai made the most venomous decision, and immediately turned around and told Li Bidao: "Li Bi, you lead a thousand cavalry to cut off the Huns at the waist, and then entangle the Hun cavalry in front!" After a pause, Lu Tai turned back to the dozen or so young generals behind him and said, "The rest of the ministries, follow this general to intercept and kill the Huns' rear team!"

"Here!" Lieutenant General Li Bi and a dozen or so young generals responded abruptly, and then separated and left.

A moment later, Lu Tai leisurely raised his long sword. In an instant, the sound of a loud horn soared into the sky. The next moment, Baiyu shouted like a tsunami in the dense forest on both sides of the mountain pass. There was an overwhelming sound of horseshoes, and amidst the sound of horseshoes like a stormy sea, the black cavalry of the Han army had rushed out of the dense forest.

Facing the sudden ambush, the Huns suddenly screamed and were completely confused.

It must be admitted that Lu Tai chose Baiyushan Pass as the ambush location, which is very skillful!
Baiyu Mountain Pass is like a gate, which cuts the road passing through the mountain pass into east and west sections. Relying on the mountain pass, the Han army only needs a small amount of cavalry to stop the front cavalry of the Huns. The rear cavalry who can calmly face the Huns, the disadvantage in terms of strength no longer exists.

The two armies meet on a narrow road, and the brave and fearless will win, but if both sides are equally brave and fearless, then the factors that determine the outcome become the strength of the two sides, the quality of their equipment, and the level of riding and archery training.

In terms of military strength, because Lu Tai cleverly chose Baiyu Mountain Pass as the ambush location, it basically wiped out the strength advantage of the Huns. In terms of cavalry and shooting, the cavalry of the Han army is slightly inferior. No matter how hard you train, it is impossible to be strong They surpassed the Huns, but in terms of equipment, the Han cavalry had an overwhelming advantage.

More importantly, the Han army caught the Huns by surprise with their mental calculations.

This ambush was unfair from the very beginning. The Han army waited for work and took the initiative to fight, while the Huns responded completely passively and responded hastily. Moreover, the Huns did not know the reality of the Han army's cavalry at all, and did not know how many Han troops had. Cavalry, from the very beginning, the Huns were completely at a disadvantage.

Lu Tai stood on the top of the mountain and looked down. He saw Li Bi's thousand light cavalry first contacted the Huns. Due to the lack of defense of the Huns, the entire formation was cut into two sections by Li Bi's troops. Although the Xiongnu cavalry returned to aid desperately, they were blocked on the west side of the pass due to the narrow terrain of Baiyu Mountain Pass.

Almost at the same time, the [-] main cavalry of the Changle Camp launched a tidal attack on the Huns' rear troops on the east side of the mountain pass. It exerted its due power, but the advantage of the Han army's weapons was brought into full play.

As soon as the two armies came into contact, the Huns' cavalry fell into a complete disadvantage, and were almost beaten to the point of being powerless to fight back!
After fighting fiercely for half an hour, the battlefield of Feifan Yingtian finally calmed down. From a distance, the Huns cavalry in the rear team were almost wiped out, and the front team of the Huns who were desperately returning to help was also defeated. The Changle Camp won a complete victory !After a while, the good news of each part and each song spread to the top of the mountain like flowing water.

"Report... the front part of the song, beheading level [-]!"

"Report... the left and the right, behead two hundred levels, and save thousands of women and children!"

"Report... the back part is left-handed, beheading the little king of the Xiongnu, and beheading fifty levels!"

"Report... the left part of the right part, capture the Hun Zuo Dadu alive, behead twenty levels!"

The more than a hundred soldiers guarding Lu Tai's back suddenly became excited, and they even captured the Huns' Captain Zuo alive? !

Speaking of it, the Huns in this world are still the original Huns, but the Han army is no longer the Han army in history.

The reason why the Han army suffered a disastrous defeat at Baideng in history was because the Han army had no cavalry, and Liu Bang underestimated the enemy Maodun and was surrounded by the Huns on Baideng Mountain. In the end, they completely lost their ambition to regain the Hetao, which gave the Xiongnu a period of strategic opportunity to occupy the Hetao and sit comfortably.

But now, due to Xiangzhuang's stimulation, Liu Bangcai made great efforts to form cavalry after returning to Guanzhong. Compared with the same period in history, the cavalry strength of the Han army has been greatly enhanced. The history of Huaxia and the surrounding Huyi tribes has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Of course, if it were Maodun's support pear tribe here, even if they became hasty, they would definitely not be so unbearable. Unfortunately, the tribe that was ambushed at Baiyu Mountain Pass was the tribe of Zuo Dadu Wei Mu Nata, Moreover, Mu Nata never expected that he would be ambushed by Han cavalry at Baiyu Mountain Pass.

Less than half a quarter of an hour later, generals and schools from various departments and songs also came to Lu Tai one after another, and they all looked uplifted and high-spirited, and they could stand in front of Lu Tai. Li Bisui immediately got off his horse and asked loudly: "General? , I have a question that I have been holding back for a long time, I don't know if I should ask it or not?"

Lu Tai waved his hand and said calmly, "Just ask."

Li Bi took a breath and said loudly: "General, why are you sure that the Huns will pass through Baiyu Mountain Pass?"

"Why?" Lu Tai said coldly, "It's because the Huns don't know the strength of our Han cavalry!" , but it is a shortcut, the Huns rely on their horses to be fast, and most of them will not pay attention to our Han army, so they will take this path in all likelihood."

Li Bi said sincerely and sincerely: "General, you are really amazing!"

Lu Tai waved his hand and said with a smile: "Huns, that's all."

Suddenly, Lu Tai's thoughts turned to Xiangzhuang's Chu army cavalry, the Xiongnu cavalry was only at this level, but he didn't know what Xiangzhuang's Chu army cavalry could do?
##########
To the east of Liyang City, the Chu army camp.

Xiang Zhuang was accompanying Xiang Tuo to inspect the cavalry at the camp outside the city. Before that, Xiang Tuo had met Concubine Yu. To Xiang Zhuang's surprise, Concubine Yu actually said a lot of good things for Xiang Zhuang. Xiang Tuo wanted to take the last words of the late king as the most important thing, and he must maintain the authority of Xiang Zhuang. Naturally, Xiang Tuo complied.

When Xiang Zhuang and Xiang Tuo appeared outside the gate surrounded by a dozen generals, about [-] cavalry from Pang Yu, Tian Heng, Xiao Kai, and Meng Chu had already assembled, and Xiang Tuo and the dozens of troops behind him The general looked around, and saw the Chu army's armor was shining, and the formation was as if, and a cold and murderous aura suddenly rushed to his face.

Especially the three hundred heavy armored cavalry led by Meng Yu gave Xiang Tuo and others a great sense of oppression.

However, the corner of Xiang Zhuang's mouth couldn't help but a smile broke out. Today's play is a demonstration of strength as mentioned in Wei Liao's last plan. Yesterday Xiang Tuo persuaded Xiang Zhuang to succeed him as king, but Xiang Zhuang did not agree. , because these generals under Xiang Tuo are still not convinced, so today, Xiang Zhuang should come up with some dry goods to convince them.

Xiang Tuo pointed to the heavy armored cavalry that had been killed, and asked Xiang Zhuang, "General, what kind of cavalry are these?"

"This is heavy armored cavalry. Even the most elite and strongest military formation can be easily crushed." After Xiang Zhuang said, he raised his right hand and pressed lightly, and stood upright before the formation. He pulled out the horizontal saber loudly, and in an instant, more than [-] heavy armored cavalry behind him pulled down Leng Sensen's mask at the same time, and erected their long lances one after another.

A general behind Xiang Tuo asked awe-inspiringly, "What kind of spear is this? It's so long?"

"This is a cavalry spear." Xiang Zhuang said indifferently, "It is three feet and six feet long, with an iron head, and weighs eighty catties!"

While speaking, Meng Ji had already started charging with three hundred heavy cavalry, and the deafening sound of iron hoofs suddenly rose into the sky as the iron hooves moved. There were only three hundred cavalry, but it gave people a strange feeling that thousands of cavalry were charging...
