The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 542
With the strategic shrinkage of the Hengshan Army, a large area of ​​grassland territory was ceded.Under Lin Yifan's order, the Golden Werewolf moved all [-] old and weak into the pass, and the remaining [-] cavalry remained in the north of Xiashui, waiting for his order.

At this time, on the grassland, there was heavy snow, and the cold wind howled.

To the north of Xiashui, an endless black line emerged from the snow-capped world, and even the wind and snow could not conceal the killing intent transmitted from it.

Not long after, I heard bursts of muffled thunder coming from a distance, rumbling!The sound is getting louder.When the black line revealed its true face, the strong roar shook the Hengshan army on the other side with a surge of excitement, and the palms holding the weapons also broke out in a cold sweat in this cold winter.

Finally, the 40 Donghu army stretched for more than ten miles, completely covering the entire north bank of Xiashui.The remaining hundreds of thousands of Hengshan Army looked so weak and fragile in front of them.

But these were just illusions. Facing the hundreds of thousands of Hengshan troops, Huerle, the master of the Eastern Hu, reined in his mount and looked at the arrangement on the other side with his eyes narrowed.Although the number of opponents was small, he did not dare to take it lightly.

After observing the defenses laid out by the Hengshan Army, Huerle ordered the army to set up camp and confront it on the north bank.

The summer water at this time had already condensed into ice in the icy world.This is indeed a good thing for Donghu people.But Huerle didn't dare to be careless. Since the Hengshan army on the opposite side dared not even smash the ice, there must be fraud in it.Thinking of the power of the gunpowder, Kuerle shuddered.Fortunately, when they went south, they seized a large amount of gunpowder, which can be used today.

After the camp was set up, Huerle heard the report from the scouts, and when he learned that there were [-] cavalry on the flanks, he immediately sneered.If you want to contain your own troops, this number is too small, right?
Immediately, Huerle ordered Wu Nusutu to lead [-] cavalry to chase the enemy cavalry, even if they could not be wiped out, they should be driven away from the vicinity of the barracks.

The next day, the Donghu army began to dispatch, and 30 horses came to the north bank of Xiashui.Then build the delivered catapult assembly here, ready to attack.

Lin Yifan stood on the viewing platform, observing the enemy's movements with a telescope.When he saw the rows of catapults on the other side, a sneer could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth.

A few hours later, the catapults built by the Donghu people were coming to an end, and they were about to start showing their power.He heard dozens of bangs coming from the opposite side, and then saw that more than ten stone catapults that he had worked so hard to build were severely smashed and destroyed.

Originally, Kuerle was sitting on the high platform with milk wine, ready to appreciate the stone-throwing attack, but he was so frightened by the blow that he dropped his bowl, and looked at the flaming weapon opposite him in disbelief. "This, is this the legendary artillery?"

At this moment, there was another roar, and more than a dozen catapults were reduced to a pile of broken wood.Only then did Kuerle wake up, and immediately stood up abruptly, shouting sharply, "Quick, quickly remove the catapult!"

However, these catapults are already very heavy, and there are no wheels to transfer them.We had to rely on dozens of people to work together to carry it away.

But during this period, dozens of them were destroyed by the artillery of the Hengshan Army, killing and injuring nearly a hundred people.

Kuerle was so angry that he kicked the bowl away from the ground and creaked with both hands.The battle has not yet begun, and the convenience has suffered heavy losses, with hundreds of casualties.

After moving the catapult back, Huerle immediately ordered to dispatch [-] infantry to test the opponent's strength.

Soon, the infantry consisting of [-] people from the Central Plains immediately stepped on the Xiashui ice layer and moved forward cautiously.

However, before the Hengshan army could make a move, they thought that the number of people was increasing, and the ice layer finally couldn't bear the heavy pressure. There was a crackling sound, and cracks spread from under the feet.

With a sound of "Boom!", many soldiers had no time to dodge, and suddenly felt their feet go limp, and their whole bodies immediately fell into the icy water.

Seeing this, the rest of the soldiers rushed to run backwards without daring to move forward.In the panic, there was no scruples in their footsteps, and many people broke through the ice layer in an instant and fell into the water one after another.

After everyone escaped, when they looked back at Xiashui, the entire water surface became fragmented, and ice floes, large and small, swayed on the water surface.In just this moment, 1 horses lost hundreds of people.

Ku'erle looked at the hole in the water with a livid face. It seemed that this expedition to the west might not go too smoothly.

In the next few days, Huerla sent scouts to look for places where they could cross the river along the Xiashui.It's a pity that on the south bank of Xiashui, there are various guard posts everywhere, monitoring every move on the north bank.

Two hundred miles away from the flank of the camp, two cavalrymen, one in front and one behind, kept running on the snowfield.In the past few days, the cavalry on both sides did not get enough rest.The chief general of the Donghu cavalry, Wu Nusutu, chased up all the way, and he bit the Hengshan cavalry tightly, refusing to relax at all.Regarding this, Shang Yun and the others were overwhelmed.But now the military strength is weak, and it is impossible to fight against it.As a last resort, he continued to run away, hoping to wear down the opponent.But these few days passed, not only did the other party not collapse, but he and others were about to collapse.

"General Shang, we have been running for several days, and my sons and daughters can't run anymore. Why don't we fight them here?" Hubri rode his horse to Shang Yun's side, exhausted Said.

"No!" Shang Yun glanced at Hu Buli, and said coldly: "The enemy has [-] troops, and we only have [-]. There is no chance of winning against them."

"The difference between us is only 1 horses, why can't we fight?" Kubri asked in a deep voice rather unconvinced.

Shang Yun glanced at him slightly, and snorted coldly in his heart, why can't we fight? Do I need to explain the reason?If these 4 horses were all our Hengshan cavalry, we would naturally be able to crush the enemy army in a devastating manner.But I only have one cavalry division under my command, and the rest are Donghu troops, whose combat power is not as good as the [-] Hengshan cavalry. With such a force, how can they beat the Donghu people?

Looking at Shang Yun's meaningful gaze, Kubri suddenly blushed and understood what he meant.However, there was nothing he could do about it.The previous battle caused heavy damage to his troops, and now the [-] soldiers are mostly newly recruited herdsmen, which can be described as a mob.

"Since we are invincible, running like this is not an option?" Kubri changed the subject and said in a concentrated voice: "General Shang, please tell me, do you have a countermeasure?"

Shang Yun glanced at Hubri unexpectedly, "Don't worry about Da Khan, just follow me."

When Kubri heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, is there really a countermeasure?

Although he was quite displeased with Shang Yun's refusal to reveal the truth up to this point, Hubri was still very happy, as if a ray of sunshine suddenly appeared in the gloomy future like heavy snow, which made people feel a little hope.
