Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 273 Big Han Hussars ([-])

Just when King Yueshi thought he was going to die, a low-pitched trumpet sounded suddenly from the east.

"Well, where did the sound of the horn come from?" Yuezhi Wang Huo Ran turned his head, and saw a faint red line appearing on the distant horizon in the east at some point, and as time went by, this red line was rapidly disappearing. It became thicker and rapidly extended towards the two wings. This is... cavalry? !

Almost at the same time, Mao Dun also discovered an abnormality.

red?Could it be the Han cavalry? !Mao Dun's thick eyebrows were instantly frowned. The Han cavalry suddenly appeared on the Guzang Plain at this time, and they must have come to help the Yuezhi people. Immediately, Mao Dun snorted and turned around and shouted: "Left and right wise kings, bring two Let Ben Shanyu hold back the Wanqi team, and the rest of the troops will follow Ben Shanyu to destroy Yuezhi!"

The Xiongnu nobles behind Maodun responded loudly, and immediately dispatched [-] cavalry to turn their horses and face the Han Chinese cavalry sweeping in from the east. Spears, short swords, and horse forks, followed by Mo Dun howling and rushed into the chaotic battlefield.

"Ha!" Zhou Guanfu yelled, and at the same time he squeezed the horse's belly hard with his legs, and the horse under his crotch raised his head and let out a mournful hiss under the pain, and then began the final acceleration.

The new wind is hunting, and the earth is receding like a tide.

Suddenly, a Hun cavalry swarmed towards the east.

Huns?Hey, Huns!The corner of Zhou Guanfu's mouth suddenly showed a trace of cold murderous intent, and he unloaded the pair of heavy double iron halberds from his back with his backhand. A pair of large iron tongs hang high in the air.

"The mighty man!" Zhou Guanfu was the first to roar.

"The mighty man! The mighty man! The mighty man!"

The hundreds of cavalry behind Zhou Guanfu roared immediately, and then more cavalry roared, and finally, the [-] Han cavalry began to roar hysterically. The huge sound wanted to shatter the sky. At this moment, almost Every Han army soldier's heart is ignited with a raging fighting spirit, the Han army is mighty, and the Han army will surely win!

Suddenly, both sides have entered the range of their bows and arrows.

Although the horn bows used by the Han cavalry were obviously superior in range, but now they were advancing against the wind, while the Huns were heading east with the wind. In an instant, a large dense rain of arrows had swept up from their respective formations, and roared towards each other.

After flying for a few breaths, the arrow rain as dense as locusts finally fell from the sky.

In an instant, the Huns and the Han army turned their backs on their backs, but the number of Huns who fell from their horses was obviously much more than that of the Han cavalry, not only because the Han cavalry generally wore iron helmets and chest guards. Armor, because the iron arrowheads used by the Han army are significantly more lethal than the bronze arrow clusters of the Huns.

With just one arrow shot, the cavalry of the Han army and the Huns threw away their bows and arrows one after another, and drew out their weapons.

The speed of the cavalry is too fast. The range of the cavalry bow is only a hundred steps. The cavalry on both sides charge at each other. When in front of you, you can only use bows and arrows to fight against the opponent's sword, and you will basically die.

"Death!" Zhou Guanfu yelled violently, and crossed his halberds with the momentum of thunder, and chopped down the two Hun cavalry on the left and right sides diagonally into four pieces, and the upper half of the two Hun cavalry corpses slumped down on the The ground was quickly trampled into crumbs by the surging cavalry from both sides.

Almost at the same time, Zhou Guanfu's steed also knocked another Hun cavalry into the air.

After beheading six Huns cavalry in a row, Zhou Guanfu's forward momentum finally stopped. In the dense formation of Huns cavalry, the speed of the horses could no longer be picked up. For the same reason, the Huns' horses also stopped. The cavalry duel quickly turned into an infantry fight on horseback, and the cavalry of both sides were completely mixed together.

Zhou Guanfu fell into the siege of the Huns because of his fast horse.

However, Zhou Guanfu was unafraid. The two big iron halberds opened wide and closed, tumbling up and down. In less than a moment, the dozen or so Huns riding Huns surrounding him were killed by Zhou Guan, and a lot of blood was poured out. It immediately sprayed out from the Huns, dyeing Zhou Guanfu and his horse bloody, as if from the Nine Heavens God of Killing!
"Roar!" a Hun commander roared, urging his horse to meet Zhou Guanfu.

In the blink of an eye, a sharp iron horse fork came straight to Zhou Guanfu's throat. Zhou Guanfu smiled grimly, and raised his left iron halberd to block it lightly. With another thrust of the big iron halberd in his right hand, it has already viciously pierced into the abdomen of the commander of the Xiongnu.

"Ugh..." The commander of the Xiongnu suddenly screamed terribly.

With a slight effort from Zhou Guanfu's right arm, the commander of the Xiongnu who weighed more than three hundred catties was thrown into the air, and the horizontal blade of the iron halberd stabbed the commander of the Xiongnu in the abdomen. The red large intestine and internal organs spewed down from the open abdominal cavity, but the commander of the Xiongnu was still not exhausted, still screaming and screaming.

"Instigate!" A barely audible sound of piercing the air suddenly came from behind his head, Zhou Guanfu turned sideways instinctively, a spiked arrow almost flew past his face, and the sharp bronze arrow clusters instantly hit his visor. A shallow scratch was left on the bow, and Zhou Guanfu turned his head sharply, only to see that twenty steps away, a strong Hun had already drawn his hard bow again.

"Go to hell!" Zhou Guanfu threw the iron halberd in his right hand viciously without thinking.

Almost at the same time, the Hun archer twenty steps away also let go of the bowstring, and there was a light ding. The iron halberd thrown by Zhou Guanfu suddenly accelerated and shot at the Xiongnu archer like lightning.

"Not good!" The Xiongnu archer was taken aback, and it was already too late when he was eager to dodge.

When it was too late, the iron halberd thrown by Zhou Guanfu had already pierced the Xiongnu archer's chest, and the big iron halberd still carried the body of the Hun archer and flew forward dozens of steps away. Only then did he fall to the ground exhausted. As for the Hun archer hanging on the big iron halberd, he had already died of exhaustion while he was in the air.

At the rear of the Han army, Lu Tai was watching the battle surrounded by hundreds of cavalry.

Where Lu Tai is located is a small soil slope. Standing on the small soil slope and looking down, whether it is the battlefield where the Yuezhi people and the Huns are fighting a few miles ahead, or the battlefield where the Han cavalry is fighting the Huns nearby , all had a panoramic view, and suddenly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Lu Tai's mouth.

The situation of the Yuezhi people in front of them is indeed not optimistic, but it will definitely not be a problem if they persist for half an hour.

On the other hand, the duel between the cavalry of the Han army and the cavalry of the Xiongnu was about to be decided soon. If there were no accidents, at most half an hour later, the cavalry of the Huns in front of them should be defeated.

After all, the Huns cavalry are still not good at direct decisive battles.

Lu Tai had already discovered this point when he ambushed the Huns at Baiyu Mountain Pass last time. The advantage of the Huns was that they were all cavalry who came and went like the wind, making it impossible for the Han infantry to catch up. Together they formed a melee situation, but the Huns were no match for the Han army at all, and the weapons and armor of the Han army were not decorations!
In fact, if it was a head-on confrontation, a thousand Han troops would be enough to stop ten thousand Huns!
If there are [-] Han troops, they can stand still even in the face of [-] Xiongnu. Hundreds of Han troops garrisoned on the earth hills, as well as Han general Li Ling's [-] infantry, faced with the encirclement of [-] Huns cavalry, they were still able to fight and leave.

In history, the reason why the Xiongnu cavalry was able to formidable the Han Empire for nearly a hundred years, apart from Maodun Shanyu’s deterrence strategy, was mainly because the Han Empire had no cavalry, so they could only be in a disadvantageous position of passive defense against the Huns. As a result, they were passive everywhere. , Being beaten everywhere, and being beaten a lot, the Han Empire fell into fear psychologically.

By the time of Emperor Wu, once the Han Empire formed cavalry, the Huns immediately had nothing to worry about.

The Xiongnu cavalry is so powerful because of their ability to move like the wind, which makes the Central Plains people hard to defend against. But if they really want to fight tough battles, the Huns are not the opponents of the Central Plains people. In this battle in Guzangyuan, Maodun wanted to conquer the Yuezhi tribe. He did not hesitate to let the cavalry of the Xiongnu and the cavalry of the Han army fight head-on, but it was a big mistake.

##########
In the chaotic army, Maodun was galloping surrounded by hundreds of warriors.

The Yuezhi had already lost, but the Huns could not completely defeat them in such a hurry, Maodun couldn't help feeling a little anxious, especially the Xiutu people and the Hunxie people, who were fighting to the outside, now Basically, it was the Huns and the Yuezhi who were fighting, but these two tribes hid aside and watched.

Mao Dun couldn't help getting angry, turned his head and shouted: "Come here, tell King Xiutu and King Hunxie that if they can help the Huns defeat the Yuezhi people, Ben Shanyu can also compensate their losses, but if they hide Don't blame Ben Shanyu for turning his face and denying others when the time comes, heh! "

Behind him, dozens of Hun cavalrymen responded loudly and took orders.

After taking a breath, he turned his eyes to the battlefield in the distance, but couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart!
Being in the chaos of the army, although Mao Dun couldn't see it clearly, he could still see the general situation. The two ten thousand cavalry teams of the left and right kings seemed to be in trouble?This is not a good thing, once the Han cavalry first defeated the two thousand cavalry teams of the left and right kings, then the battle would be in vain.
