Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 19 Victory in the First Battle
On the prairie north of Hedong County, tens of thousands of horses from both sides lined up here.It turned out that the scouts sent by Liu Wei yesterday discovered this group of about 2 Huns cavalry.He led his troops here today.

"Who on the other side dares to fight against my big Huns, I advise you to retreat quickly. Otherwise, your heads will be taken." A Huns cavalry who understands Chinese came to the front of the formation and shouted at the Han army.

"Hmph, you waited for the barbarians to repeatedly invade our big Han city and slaughter our big Han people. Today is the day for you to pay back." A soldier beside Liu Wei responded loudly.

"Quickly go back and tell you Touman Chanyu, our Marquis will take his head sooner or later."

"Hmph, wait!" Seeing that the negotiations had broken down, the Hun cavalry turned their horses and went back to report.

After a while, a big Hun man came to the front of the battle and shouted: "I am Ke Difu, a warrior of the grassland. That Han dares to come and suffer death?"

"Everyone is so mad, is Dian Wei coming?"

Yue Xi was about to go out to fight, but Dian Wei rushed out with his halberds, and with the help of his horse, he smashed the halberd at the top of Ke Difu's head. Ke Difu yelled and raised his mace to meet him. With a loud noise, the mace in Ke Difu's hand came out and flew out.Dian Wei turned around and picked Ke Difu high with a halberd, then threw it out heavily.

I saw that Kedifu struggled on the ground twice, and then lost his breath.

Another man rushed out of the Xiongnu's formation, holding a big iron stick, and shouted: "Don't be arrogant, Han dog, let me Haji meet you."

He rushed to Dianwei's side and smashed him with his stick. This person followed the same route as that of Kodifu, and he was also a man of incomparable strength.Then he fought with Dian Wei, but only took advantage of it. At the fifth round, Dian Wei turned around and hit Haji on the back with a halberd. Haji spit out a mouthful of blood, and pulled the horse Walking, I saw Dian Wei pulled out a small halberd from behind, and flew towards Haji, Haji fell down in response.

Dian Wei killed two generals of the Huns, which boosted the morale of the Han army. On the other hand, the morale of the Huns was extremely low. Haji and Ke Difu are the strongest warriors among the Huns, but they have no enemy of Dian Wei.There was a sudden confusion.

Liu Wei saw that the morale of the Huns was low and the formation was in disarray, so he ordered to march with drums.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom" With the sound of the drum, Liu Wei drew out his long sword: "The whole army strikes!"

"Kill!" According to the formation arranged in advance by Liu Wei, the [-] cavalry were divided into two groups to attack the two wings of the Huns.He led [-] infantry to attack the Xiongnu Central Army.

Under the escort of the pro-army, Liu Wei took the lead and rushed to the front of the team.

The Huns wanted to use the most commonly used routine, riding and shooting separately, but they were dumped by the Han army and could not show their strengths.

However, under Liu Wei's previous training, the Han army formed a group of two, one stabbing the horse, and the other stabbing the soldiers on the horse. Because they were surrounded, the mobility of the Huns cavalry could not be brought into play, and they could only be killed by the Han army. They were defeated, but there was nothing they could do. Thales and Sijina, the two chiefs of the Huns, kept shouting in the Huns language: "Counterattack, hold your ground." Feeling helpless, he could only flee backwards with the large army.

However, the Han army fought harder and harder, and did not stop until there were no Huns on the battlefield.

"Send an order to clean up the battlefield, count the casualties, and the seized personal belongings belong to the brothers, but the food and horses must be handed over to me, and the seriously wounded and dead horses are gathered together to eat horse meat tonight."

"Oh! Great, the general has an order to eat horse meat tonight!" The soldiers conveyed the news.Immediately, the Han army cheered.

At night, the smell of meat wafted everywhere in the Han army barracks.Liu Wei also came among the soldiers and ate horse meat with the soldiers.Drink some broth, and say a few foul words now and then.This caused the soldiers to recognize their general even more.

After dinner, Liu Wei returned to the big account, gathered the generals together and said: "This time we have hit the Huns hard, and the Huns will definitely arouse their revenge. I guess it will take a few days for a large group of Huns to arrive. Here, we will have a decisive battle with us, but firstly we don’t have enough people, and secondly, we are short of horses, so we must be the ones who will lose out in a head-on fight. So we can’t fight head-on, what do you guys think?” Liu Wei asked.

All the soldiers, there were different opinions immediately. Some people said that they should run and fight, and some people immediately refuted them. You can run past others without horses. This hasn't driven the Huns away yet, and he shrinks back, isn't that a joke.In short, there is everything to say, but there is no good suggestion.

Suddenly Zhou Kai stepped forward and said: "General, there will be a note at the end, I don't know if it is feasible or not."

"Oh? Zihe, tell me!" Liu Wei suddenly became interested.

Zhou Zihe drove to the side of the map, pointed to a place and said: "General, I know that the terrain here is quite steep. It is called the Valley of Ghost Crying because there are often sounds similar to ghost crying in the valley. This place is very suitable for ambush , as long as the Xiongnu can be introduced into this valley, and then the two ends are blocked, and rolling stones and trees are prepared on both sides of the valley, when the time comes, all arrows will be fired. The reinforcements of the Xiongnu will be wiped out."

"This plan is brilliant!" After hearing Zhou Kai's plan, Liu Wei clapped his hands and applauded, "But how can we introduce the Huns into this valley?" Liu Wei couldn't help but frowned again.

"The Huns lived on the grassland for many years, and they were in short supply of food and grass. I will leave more food and grass on the road to death, so I don't worry if the Huns don't come after them." Zhou Kai stepped forward. replied.

"Okay, as you said, if you can wipe out the Xiongnu, this battle will be your first achievement." Liu Wei looked at Zhou Zihe.

"Thank you, General."

"Okay, let's all go down, and then act according to this plan. You all go back and prepare." Liu Wei ordered.

"Yes" all the soldiers immediately retreated.

Suddenly Liu Wei was left alone in the big account, looking at the map and pondering carefully.How can we successfully attract the Huns into the ambush circle.

One day, Liu Wei increased the search range of the horse detection, and would search within a radius of [-] miles. As long as there was an attack by the Huns, he would come and report it immediately.

Liu Wei felt that he had nothing to do, so he wanted to go to the wounded barracks, so accompanied by his own soldiers, he came to the wounded barracks, and saw that the soldiers were all wrapped up in black cloth with blood stains, and he was shocked. Immediately, he called the doctor in the army: "Who told you to bandage this?" Liu Wei shouted angrily.

Immediately, the doctor was so frightened that he knelt on the ground: "General, spare your life, General, spare your life, this is how the army has always been bandaged!"

Liu Wei also felt that he had lost his composure, and said to the doctor: "Get up! Remember that you are not allowed to use this kind of cloth to bandage the wound in the future, you must use white cloth, and you must use boiled white cloth after drying. The cloth will not be infected when used, and it will reduce the death rate of wounded soldiers, do you hear it?"

Lang Zhong was already panicked by the fright, he didn't dare to refute, he quickly said: "Yes, yes, the villain heard it."

"Well, I will do this in the future!" After speaking, Liu Wei turned and left.
