Chapter 27 The battle begins

After receiving the news from Yu Fuluo, Shanyu, the Marquis of Xubu Gudu, really couldn’t do anything anymore. Although Xubu Guduhou Chanyu also didn’t believe it, Ding Yuan had such a big appetite that he wanted to swallow his 20,000 Huns cavalry in one go. Could it be that Ding Yuan was not afraid that he would not be able to eat, but would be choked instead?

But it is always unpleasant to have such a 5,000-strong Han army forming a large formation behind them. So Shanyu, the Marquis of Xubu Gudu, sent his cronies. Duoter, known as the first warrior of the Xiongnu, came over with five thousand Xiongnu soldiers.

Seeing Duoter rushing over with his men and horses, Yu Fuluo immediately felt relieved. Based on Yu Fuluo’s understanding of the Han army’s combat effectiveness, Duote’er’s five thousand troops were completely capable of defeating the Han army in front of him.

But Yu Fuluo still had some regrets, that is, Xubu Guduhou Shanyu still underestimated the Han people. In Yufuluo’s view, a successful leader does not need to achieve great feats, but he must not know how to advance and retreat. And Shanyu, the Marquis of Xubu Gudu, happened to be eager for merit, so how could he not be deceived by the Han people?

Yu Fuluo was thinking secretly, but Duoter had already arrived at Yu Fuluo’s side.

Doter looked at Yu Fuluo who was coming over and said angrily: “Aren’t they just thousands of Han pigs waiting to be slaughtered? If I don’t come, leader Yu Fuluo can only watch like this?”

After listening to Duoter’s words, the generals behind Yu Fuluo had black lines all over their faces, and they were about to step forward to argue with Duoter. Yu Fuluo smiled and said: “Leader Duoter, please use the sword in your hand to prove your bravery again.”

Originally, Yu Fuluo came up to tell Duote’er to be careful about the Han people’s formation. But when Yu Fuluo heard Doter’s unkind words, he suddenly changed his mind. There are some things that are useless just talking about them. Only bloody lessons can make people truly remember them deeply.

Seeing reinforcements coming from the Huns on the opposite side, Gao Shun had to call back the two thousand soldiers who were building fortifications. However, looking at the formation in front of him, the Huns had no intention of fully retreating, and Gao Shun finally felt relieved. If the Huns are allowed to escape back to the grassland before tomorrow, Gao Shun’s entire strategic plan will be completely ruined. Fortunately, the Huns did not mobilize in full force.

“Sir, should we also send a message to Governor Ding and ask for some reinforcements? Now we have to face eight thousand Huns cavalry.”

Cao Xing, Gao Shun’s general, saw that the Huns were powerful and worriedly suggested Gao Shundao.

“Don’t worry, our soldiers are covered by horseback, and the Huns can’t take any advantage. At this time, we are asking the prefect for reinforcements. Even if the reinforcements come, they will still have to face a direct attack by the Huns’ cavalry. It is just a waste of increase. Just some casualties. Let’s rely on ourselves. If there are only 8,000 Huns cavalry, it is not impossible to hold on until tomorrow morning. Tomorrow will be the end of the Huns.”

Gao Shun rejected Cao Xing’s proposal, but seeing the worry on Cao Xing’s face, he encouraged Cao Xing and said:

“As long as we can wipe out the Huns’ 20,000 cavalry in one fell swoop this time, I can guarantee that within three to five years, no foreigners will come to Wuyuan County to fight the autumn wind. Isn’t this worth fighting for us people?”

After listening to Gao Shun’s words, Cao Xing felt that he had suddenly changed. He no longer cared so much about gains and losses, and suddenly became much more open-minded.

Finally, shortly after Dotter’s arrival, the Huns’ attack began.

I saw Doter, a majestic Hun man, taking off a strange weapon from the victory hook and pointing it straight into the sky. This weapon was more than two feet long, and its tip shone with cold light, making it look even more icy-cold under the setting sun. If Lu Bu had been present at this time, he would have screamed in surprise, because the weapon Duote took out was the Fang Tian Hua Ji that has been passed down from generation to generation in Lu Bu’s family.

As Duoter slowly lowered Fang Tian’s painted halberd in his hand, the Hun cavalry’s horses began to move forward slowly. As Fang Tian’s painted halberd moved downward faster, the Hun cavalry’s horses also sped up. When the Tianhua Halberd was leveled, the horses of the Huns cavalry had already increased to full speed.

The Han soldiers standing in the horse-rejecting formation from a distance were frightened when they saw the Huns coming and heard the rumble of horse hooves in their ears. All of them looked cold.

Looking at those timid soldiers, Gao Shun originally wanted the soldiers to retreat to temporarily avoid the sharp edge of the Huns cavalry, but then he thought about it and was afraid that the soldiers would have no choice but to retreat and no longer have the courage to face the Huns cavalry. ‘s charge.

As a last resort, Gao Shun had to go into battle himself and let the shield soldiers stand in front. According to Gao Shun’s understanding of the Huns’ cavalry, the Huns would use arrows to disrupt the Han army’s formation before approaching the Han army’s formation. However, Gao Shun looked at the horse-rejecting formation behind him and was not worried.

Gao Shun’s Juma Zheng was established by relying on Juma. The soldiers hid behind the horses. Firstly, it can block the impact of cavalry, and secondly, because it prevents horses and soldiers from crossing, the soldiers are actually in small groups, forming a skirmish formation. In this way, the damage caused by arrow rain to soldiers will undoubtedly be reduced. As long as the soldiers were smart enough, they escaped three rains of arrows from the Hun cavalry. Then it was the Huns’ turn to have a taste of their power.

When the soldiers saw Gao Shun personally going into battle, he came to the front square and stood with the soldiers. The originally panicked faces of the soldiers finally gradually showed a calm look.

As expected by Gao Shun, when the Huns’ horses rushed within a stone’s throw of the Han army’s phalanx. Duoter, who was leading the way, slowly straightened up again, and the Fangtian Painted Halberd in his hand pointed to the sky.

Saw the signal from Dotter. The Huns soldiers took off their long bows one by one, bent their bows and drew their arrows. When Duoter waved Fang Tian’s painted halberd down, five thousand Huns cavalry and five thousand feather arrows all shot at the Han army.

Fortunately, the Han army was originally composed of skirmishers and blocked by horseback. Coupled with the protection of the shield soldiers, the casualties of the Han army were not large. Compared with the Huns’ arrow attacks, the archers on the Han army also raised their bows and arrows and shot at the Huns.

When the Han army’s arrows hit, Duoter shook Fang Tian’s painted halberd and pointed downwards. Immediately afterwards, the Huns cavalry hid their bodies next to the horses one by one, avoiding the rain of arrows. attack.

It’s just that although the Hun knights escaped the attack of arrows, their horses were not so lucky. In addition, the Hun cavalry were in a dense formation, which undoubtedly increased the lethality of the arrows.

After the Huns launched three arrow rains, the Huns cavalry and the Han soldiers finally reached close combat distance.

The Huns were originally ferocious, and this Doter was even more ferocious. Seeing a tall Juma in front of him blocking the way of the war horse, Duotel grasped Fang Tian’s painted halberd tightly with both hands, reached forward, and then raised it fiercely, flying the Juma in front of him to the side. .

The Han soldiers who were hiding behind the horse ran away one by one when they saw that Dotte was extremely fierce and had the courage to step forward. It’s just that Duoter was extremely ferocious, and these few soldiers would be allowed to escape. Duoter was about to rush his horse forward, and he was about to chop down the few Han soldiers in front of him. However, Duoter didn’t expect that just when he was about to rush his horse to catch up with the Han soldiers in front. There was a roar, and a war horse behind Dotter bumped into Doter’s horse’s butt. Without paying attention, Dotter carried the horse forward. Fortunately, Duo Te’er had quick eyesight and quick hands. He immediately used the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand to prop it up and jumped forward.

As Dotter’s horse was hit by the horses behind him, bursts of rumbling sounds sounded on the battlefield. It turned out that the Huns’ horses were too fast and they were arranged in a dense formation. The horses in front were blocked by the horses, so they had to slow down and were naturally hit by the horses behind them. But if the horses in front don’t slow down, they will only collide with the Han army’s horses.

Looking at the Huns, people shouted and horses neighed and collided into one piece. Some clever Han soldiers couldn’t stand it anymore. They rushed forward one by one and fought with the Huns who were knocked down for a while. There were quite a few gains.

Seeing his soldiers collide into a ball, Dotter was a little panicked for a moment. The Huns have been fighting like this for many years across the grasslands. According to Doter’s thinking, with these five thousand Huns cavalry, he could disperse the Han army in front of him with just one charge. As long as the Han army loses its formation and cannot cover each other, it is not like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, allowing Duoter to kill it at will. But the scene in front of him completely subverted Dotter’s usual thinking.

Duoter, while busy organizing the Hun soldiers who had crashed their horses to stand up and fight, waved the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand to let the Hun cavalry who had not yet collided with him. Slow down when turning.

Seeing such a good opportunity in front of him, Gao Shun hurriedly gestured to the messenger next to him. Let the first line of soldiers attack. Then Gao Shun couldn’t help but rushed out and killed the Huns who were still in chaos.
