Xie AI was really ignorant. It was not until the number of the forbidden guards exceeded 30000 that he recovered from his confusion.
The elite appeared out of thin air. The magical things were in front of him. Xie AI, who consciously knew the top core secret of the Han state, only felt that he understood a lot of things he didn't understand at that moment.
At the last moment, Xie AI was worried that the whole world of Han was enemy. After he felt that he had discovered the amazing secrets, he understood that those were not things at all.
At the end of the micro stage, Liu Yan was an enemy of many. He didn't give in and be weak in the face of anyone. Isn't it because he has such details?
[but...] Xie AI was patrolling, but he was still confused: [why did the king deliberately reduce the use of the forbidden guards?]
From the second year of Yuanshuo (344 AD), Liu Yan did rarely put the forbidden guards into the battlefield. Unless there was a situation that was difficult to support on all fronts, he could not see the forbidden guards.
Xie AI only knew one thing. The forbidden guards were still coming out of those buildings. What he noticed was that the number of cavalry did not increase after reaching 30000. The new ones were mainly strong crossbow soldiers, crossbow soldiers and heavy cavalry, with a small number of halberds.
Xie AI, who couldn't hold all the Han troops in the valley and tried to calm his agitation, summoned the general, the long history and the counselor, and said the plan he had just thought about.
In fact, Xie AI is not only confused about the sudden emergence of the forbidden guards. It should be that one of more than 8000 people is confused and forced. It is only because of different identities and status. The higher the senior level is, the more confused and forced. On the contrary, the soldiers thought that the forbidden guards had been waiting around for a long time.
The final number of the forbidden guards was 55000, and before the building stopped coming out of the soldiers, Xie AI had agreed on the battle strategy with his subordinates.
Their valley is about 180 miles away from the former site of langjuxu mountain? Out of the valley to the East is a flat terrain. There are mountains around langjuxu mountain, but the so-called mountains are actually a kind of uplifted high slope.
Naturally, there are mountains on the grassland, but it is quite different from the mountains in the Central Plains. The mountains in the central plains are very complex. Relatively speaking, there are many trees, shrubs, stones and so on. The mountains on the grassland rarely have trees, and even the number of stones is very small. Most of them are mountains with steep slope terrain.
Areas with different altitudes will have their own landforms, not only in terms of terrain, but also in terms of plant species, which is caused by altitude and climate.
Langjuxu mountain is a high and uplifted slope, but the area of the slope is really too large, resulting in being close. In fact, it does not look like a mountain, but will show a very obvious gentle inclination.
If the sight distance is enough to look at langjuxu mountain from a long distance, you will find that the ground has long been in an inclined state, which is the inclined trend of higher horizon in the north.
Today's people still don't have a detailed understanding of the face of the earth. For example, the Western Han Dynasty fought with the Huns for more than 100 years. When the Han army went deep into the grassland, they would encounter symptoms of hypoxia and maladjustment. They would not understand that it was because they went to the plateau, but simply summarized it as acclimatization. The Tang army behind fought against Tubo, whether in the western regions (Tuyuhun) or in Shu, it was actually good for the Tang army to fight with Tubo army, but once it entered the plateau, the Tang army was very easy to be defeated because it did not adapt to the plateau weather.
Because Liu Yan, the state-owned Han Dynasty, may not be professional in geographical knowledge, but he can understand some basic common sense. For example, he will not easily let non system forces enter the grassland on a large scale, nor will he let non system forces go to the plateau to find uncomfortable.
The plan confirmed that Xie AI stayed in the valley, and Deputy General Li Hong took 7000 cavalry to move to langjuxu mountain.
The number of Hu prisoners in langju Xushan will not be less than 200000. There are troops brought by the kings to the alliance, and more are Rouran people. What Han didn't know was that the chief of donggaoche behind also sent someone to join the fun.
Li Hong was extremely excited about leading his army to langju Xushan. He was born in the qihuo army. Due to his youth, he had not experienced the struggle between the qihuo army and the Hu people in the early stage. He joined the qihuo army at the stage when it worked for Shi Hu. The most work he did was cleaning up and suppression.
The Qi Huo army serving Shi Hu has changed from an armed force against the Hu people to an executioner of the Hu people. Li Nong has an unusual friendship with shile, and even can be regarded as a monarch and minister with Shi Hu. It can be said that he has worked hard for Shi Jie, resulting in the hands of the Qi Huo army being stained with the blood of his compatriots.
Li Nong worked for Shi Jie because of his personal friendship. Although ran min's hands were covered with the blood of his compatriots, he was really reluctant in his heart.
If you want to calculate carefully, in fact, ran min and Yang Jian are the same kind of people. When they work for the Hu people, they do not hesitate. They are all dormant waiting to restore the dominant position of the Han people. The difference is that Yang Jian succeeded and ran min failed in history.
Li Hong is ran min's Department, because ran min's needs were given to Liu Yan. In the early stage, he played the role of helping Liu Yan train troops. He was entrusted with the important task of waiting for ran min's founding and the whole country's subordination to Liu Yan.
If ran min is not in the state of Han and Li Hong is more or less embarrassed, waiting for ran min to be loyal to Liu Yan, then there is no embarrassment. It can even be said that Li Hong was born in the Qi Huojun group who first worked for Liu Yan. More or less, he would still enjoy some extra benefits. Otherwise, he would not become a partial general in a few years. Now his status is too much higher than that of some previous bosses.
Li Hong, who was riding his horse, always had a smile on his lips. He liked this wide environment and was more satisfied that one day he would lead the army to run wildly in the roaring sound of horses' hoofs, especially the combat target would still run to langjuxu mountain.
The name of langjuxu mountain has been changing all the time. The only thing that remains unchanged is that it has always been extremely sacred to the nomadic tribes on the grassland. More than one prosperous nomadic people regard langju Xushan as the core, or the core with great religious status. Generally, when nomadic people hold major or grand memorial ceremonies, they will choose langju Xushan.
When Li Hong's team was more than 120 miles away from langju Xu mountain, the scouts outside used wolf smoke to give a notice. First, there was a warning, followed by several wolf smoke.
[at least 30000 in the north, unknown in the northeast and thousands in the Southeast...] as a general, Li Hong must know what wolf smoke means. In fact, what wolf smoke means also needs to be agreed in advance: [unknown in quantity? The northeast is the direction of wolf house Xu mountain!]
To say that those Hu people found that the Han army went deep alone, it must be the most troops sent from langjuxu mountain. It may even be that the Hu people suspended the alliance and the whole army pressed over.
Xie AI's battle plan is not complicated. The kings of Hu certainly don't know that there are more 55000 forbidden guards in the Han army. They will think it's still those troops. With less than 10000 Han troops in the depths of the grassland, the Hu people will not pay attention to where they go even if they pay more attention to it. They even come with a mentality of eager to annihilate, which gives Xie ai the opportunity to lure the enemy to the ideal battlefield.
The forbidden guards came out of the building. Xie AI had reason to believe that if he could make 50000, there would be another 50000. He just couldn't guess why he stopped at 55000. On the premise that there will be reinforcements from the forbidden guards, the forbidden guards are still elite enough. He knows very well that this tough battle has to be fought.
Li Hong is responsible for attracting the kings and their troops to the preset battlefield. Now there are a large army of Hu people around, and the rest is just considering a battle or going directly to the preset battlefield.
[with the mobility of the troops, we can fight first...] Li Hongli naturally thought: [destroying all the Hu prisoners will certainly annoy Hu Chieh, and Hu Chieh is more likely to lose his mind when he is angry...]
Under the leadership of Li Hong, the 7000 Han army went southeast. The marching speed was not too fast. There were reconnaissance horses of Hu people around soon.
Detectives have their own names because of their different forces. The Han army is called scouts, and the Hu people are generally called reconnaissance riders. In addition, there will be some other names, such as Rangers or meticulous work. Their responsibilities include special investigation and fighting while investigating.
The terrain of the grassland determines this. Apart from some special valleys or basins, otherwise one person alone may be able to hide. If there is a large number, when we can see each other, the other party will certainly be able to see us. After all, the horizon is flat.
Li Hong, the Han Army, marched to the southeast for a distance and found the Hu cavalry in the distance. The two sides found each other almost at the same time, and then adjusted their travel direction.
[about 4000?] Li Hong rode on his horse. His body fluctuated rhythmically with the running of his horse. He was holding a telescope to observe the enemy: [is this the Rouran cavalry? It's really more...]
To be honest, Li Hong doesn't know how to evaluate the Rouran cavalry. After all, the Han Army has never fought with Rouran.
If the Rouran tribal alliance is calculated according to the level of civilization, the culture and some creations must be completely behind the Han state. Together with Murong Yan state, Tuoba Dai state, Zhang Liang state and other forces that have fought in the Han state, it should also be better than the Rouran tribal alliance. The current Rouran tribal alliance should be in the Xianbei tribal group stage of the Western Han Dynasty, that is, pure wandering and grazing, wearing animal skins and a small amount of iron tools. Most of the guys in their hands are bronze, and even most herdsmen can only use primitive wooden guns.
"Change!" Li Hong roared, "front arrow array!"
Some people will continue to repeat Li Hong's orders, and the 7000 cavalry of the Han Army slowly change their heart. In short, the shape of the whole army has become an arrow.
Since the ancient pre-Qin period, formations have been created. Each formation has a very strong pertinence, and the front arrow array is the array used by cavalry to rush through the array. It is generally used to sweep the enemy that is difficult to resist for rapid penetration.
"Woo woo woo"
The horn was blowing, and the 7000 Han troops forming the front arrow array began to accelerate when they approached the Rouran cavalry for about two miles.
The gentle cavalry also sounded the horn, but it was a sound of ox horn. They didn't have any formation. They only began to accelerate after the ox horn was sounded. When galloping, each cavalry had to shout "yo - yo -" and one of them would keep changing patterns and dancing their weapons.
The length of two miles is about 60 breaths for two cavalry who are charging each other head-on? When the two sides approached each other about 120 steps, the Han Army heard the sound of bow strings beating in the sound of horse hoofs.
The launch of the Han Army's Crossbow made the crossbows and arrows with rotating arrows appear in the air. After a leap over a distance, they lost their kinetic energy and fell. They were faced with the soft cavalry galloping at high speed. The arrows broke the animal skin and penetrated into the human body, bringing up a dull hum and scream.
Looking down from a high altitude, the Rouran cavalry, who had been galloping "Yo Ho", broke up at a very fast speed under the overall movement, and then the triangular front of the Han Army protruded in, just like butter met the blade. The Han Army cut forward without difficulty, and the Rouran cavalry showed a trend of spreading to both sides.
Bingqi is a very common cavalry in the Han army. He is at the front edge of the front arrow array. It is not easy to observe how many enemies he killed by firing a crossbow in the early stage. Later, he killed one with a lance. After the weapon was converted into a horse chopping knife, he waved it seven times and killed four. When he went out, he should kill two with the speed of riding, I seem to have been attacked several times?
After the whole body was chiseled through, there was no enemy in front of Bingqi. Only then did he have the time to observe himself. There were many scratches on the chest armor of his upper body, and there were scratches on the armor of his arms. There was blood on the left thigh of his lower body. Generally speaking, only his left thigh was slightly injured.
The cavalry and sudden cavalry of the Han Army have been fully equipped with plate armor, which is a kind of armor with a smooth iron plate. The rest of the branches and joints are still covered with scale armor. After all, scale armor is flexible, but plate armor is not.
"Woo woo..."
The horn was sounded again, and the knight holding the flag waved the flag regularly.
"Detour, detour!"
"Qingqi and ranger units chase and kill!"
About 4000 Rouran cavalry, they only opposed the Han army. More than half of the cavalry died on the spot. The rest began to escape without any hesitation after cutting through each other.
In fact, the soft people at this moment were ignorant. When they rushed each other, they didn't wave weapons to the Han Army, but when the weapons hit the Han Army, they just left a scratch on the smooth metal. On the contrary, a blunt attack played a role.
Blunt weapons are heavy weapons such as Maces. They are strong enough to sweep the Chinese Han Army and can beat the cavalry of the Han army down. When Hu people fight with the well-equipped imperial army of the Central Plains, heavy weapons usually have the best lethality.
"Run, run!" Since ancient times, when ello saw the Han Army scattered in pursuit, he didn't want to shout: "disperse and escape!"
For the Rouran people, at least for the Rouran people who fought with the Han Army, the Han Army really impressed them enough.
