Three Kingdoms

Wherever there are people, there is war, whether it is as small as a family or as large as the world. Some wars are just a matter of both sides spitting and rolling back their sleeves, and then calling it a day and going home, while other wars are bloody and bloody, with corpses strewn across the land.

The moonlight is beautiful tonight.

Summer generally has a good moonlight, not because the moon is particularly beautiful in summer, but because only in summer, the nights are not so cold, and more people are in the mood to stand outside and watch the moon.

The moonlight was warm, spreading soft light all over the earth.

And in the soft moonlight, ten thousand cavalry formed three huge formations. The soldiers were solemn, waiting for the moment of battle...

Lou Ban glanced at the three-color flag in the center and said softly to Nan Lou: "Are the Hussars lunatics...or are all the Han people lunatics? They actually castrated all the stallions..."

Nanlou smiled, but the smile looked a little weird, and said: "What else should we do? Prepare the mare like us? In addition, the Han people will not suffer. In this victory, they will challenge the spoils first, and they will definitely challenge the horses. ...Besides, I heard that the Han people used a breeding method, which was to keep only the best stallions... This is what the Han emperor did. All the males in the palace were castrated, leaving only the Han emperor... "

"Really? How many females are there in the Han Imperial Palace? Ten...twenty?" Lou Ban Shanyu was young after all. When he heard this, he immediately became excited, then stretched out a hand and shook it, and thought for a moment, He shook it again and said a number that he thought was quite large.

"More than twenty, I heard that the highest number was two thousand!" Nanlou gestured to the side, seeming to cut out two thousand of the waiting soldiers beside him, and then there were the maids in the palace.

"Two, two thousand?!" The young man was obviously stunned by the number. He stared at the array of his own men who were arraying aside, and then had a shudder. "Five and I'll be scratched..." ...two thousand, uh...the Han emperor...so powerful..."

While the young Lou Ban Shanyu was immersed in the huge gap between himself and the Han Emperor, there were some gentle vibrations on the ground. The war horses were the first to feel such strange movements, and they couldn't help snorting and pawing the ground with their hooves. , the formation was a little chaotic for a while.

"Here we come!" Wuhuan Nanlou's dynasty guard, the Chanyu, caressed his chest and saluted, "I'm going to the other side... Shanyu... take care... victory must be ours..."

The Shan Yu from the building class also bowed slightly and returned the salute, "We will definitely win!"

King Nanlou jumped on his horse, and with a few of his men, he ran out of the formation on the left and ran towards the formation on the right. When he passed the formation of the tricolor flag in the center, he deliberately slowed down a little and headed towards the flag. Zhao Yun signaled.

Zhao Yun swung his spear under the light of the torch, and then watched Wuhuan Nanlou King return to the right wing formation and take over the command of the right wing.

Wuhuan people are ambitious, but now, this kind of ambition is needed...

Zhao Yun was silent for a moment and said to Zhang Xiu beside him: "How are you? Are you nervous?"

This is the first time Zhang Xiu has participated in a cavalry battle involving more than 10,000 people. Of course, he is somewhat uneasy. Although Zhang Xiu is full of confidence in this battle, this is the first time he has participated in a cavalry battle involving more than 10,000 people. On a vast battlefield Fighting in the middle is still a rare experience for Zhang Xiu, who has only commanded three thousand people before.

Although Zhang Xiu said he was not nervous, his slightly trembling hands still revealed his inner emotions.

"Wuhuan people..." Zhao Yun noticed this and changed the topic, "It can be used... We need to be quiet now, so naturally we need to fight outside..."

Like the Xianbei people, most of the Wuhuan people, men, women and children spend their lives on horseback. Therefore, although they are not regular cavalry, judging from the nature of the nomadic people, riding and shooting is not that bad, and their combat effectiveness is still the same. Quite acceptable, at least on par with the upcoming coalition forces of the Wuhuan and Xianbei people.

The Southern Huns are pretty much on their last legs, so another thug is needed.

Although the Huns once roamed the desert for hundreds of years, after the split between the northern and southern Huns, and the southern Huns surrendering to the Han Dynasty for many years, by Yuvrou's generation, they had officially entered farming and production. These southern Huns no longer needed to invade the Han Dynasty for plunder. Because Zhao Yun and other Han people were stationed in Yinshan and no longer needed to fight the Xianbei people behind them, these southern Huns gradually lost their nature as nomads, so as time went by, slowly, These southern Xiongnu tribes would despise traditional military training. The original military drills and gatherings were changed from once a year to once every few years, or even completely abandoned.

Therefore, as the northern strategy of the entire Han Hussars, when the Southern Huns gradually lose their combat effectiveness, they must find the next buffer area, and the Wuhuan people are a very suitable choice.

The overall number of Wuhuan people is not large, and they are more influenced by Han culture than the Xianbei people. In addition, the relationship with the Xianbei people has always been good or bad, so they are very suitable to be the next "Southern Huns" to process.

"My lord's plan is to make the Xianbei people fight..." Zhao Yun continued, "In order for the Xianbei people to fight, the Wuhuan people must fight first... just like the snow on the mountain peaks in winter, Now it’s time to push the snow... You and I are the ones pushing the snow... Just be careful not to get stuck in the snow..."

"Haha..." Zhang Xiu waved his spear and said, "General, don't worry!"

Zhao Yun saw that Zhang Xiu seemed to have returned to normal, then nodded and said: "In this case, the forward will be left to you..."

Zhang Xiu responded loudly and came to the front.

The entire cavalry formation gradually began to move under the guidance of firelight and flags.

Because this place was so vast, Tadun didn't expect any ambush at first. But what Tadun didn't expect was that an ambush didn't necessarily require the use of terrain. The use of night could also obscure the line of sight and hide the team.

So when Tadun was excitedly chasing some Wuhuan people, the sudden sound of warning horns rang through the night sky, desolate, panicked and urgent.

In the distance as far as the eye can see, dots of fire spread out in a line, like a large open net, and with an earth-shattering roar, the carrier rushed over!

Tadun was stunned, his mouth opened wide and his eyes widened. He didn't know how such a huge cavalry army suddenly appeared in this deserted place. He suspected that he was dreaming. He shouted nervously and loudly: "Block..., step forward to block..."

Tadun's men and horses were chasing and collecting various supplies left on the road. Some were on horses and some were under horses. When they heard the sudden sound of the horn, some soldiers who moved quickly had already He jumped on his horse, but then he found that his weapons were still on the ground without him. Some soldiers were still holding a bunch of various things, confused and confused as to what had happened.

The war horse galloped very fast, and the land was very flat. When the entire field of vision was filled with jumping fire, even though he was yelling and waving his arms like a madman, But not many people could calm down and listen to him, and it was impossible for the originally scattered formations from the pursuit to gather together to form a formation against Kuang.

"Surprise! Enemy's surprise!"

More people shouted in panic. At this moment, even the dullest people could hear the roar that did not belong to their own queue, as well as the chaotic shouts from the surrounding areas. They were mixed together in one place and made their eardrums hurt. .

Amidst the jumping firelight, a tricolor flag jumped out. It danced wildly in the night, dazzling and eye-catching!

"This is impossible!" Tadun shouted, "How can there be Han people here!"

At this moment, fear was like a sharp sword. With the appearance of this flag, it pierced through his body. With a pop in his heart, the previous crazy aura disappeared, and on his forehead, Cold sweat suddenly rolled down his face.

"Han people!" Someone screamed loudly, which added to the chaos and panic. "Those are Han people in three colors!"

The passionate sound of horns filled the night sky.

Under the three-color flag, the cavalry was running wildly, accelerating, and roaring.

The entire cavalry has Zhang Xiu as the vanguard, Zhao Yun as the center, and Lou Ban, Nanlou and other Wuhuan people as the two wings. Like a huge phoenix, with blazing fire, it spreads its wings and roars, Coming for the kill!

Speed, the most important thing for cavalry is speed.

Almost all the cavalry, whether they were the Han cavalry commanded by Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu, or the Wuhuan cavalry led by Lou Ban Nan Lou, all lay down on their horses, and their bodies moved up and down rhythmically with the horses. It undulates, as if it were originally part of the war horse...

The speed of the war horse is getting faster and faster, the wind is fast and the thunder is roaring!

Tadun didn't believe that the cavalry that came to kill was so large, there were so many. Based on the area where the fire spread, there must be at least 30,000 to 40,000 cavalry. No matter what, there couldn't be so many!

Therefore, if we can concentrate our forces and choose a direction from the left or right wing to countercharge, we will most likely be able to break out of the encirclement, and even tear apart the opponent's formation and defeat the opponent...

Tadun believed that with 8,000 men under his command, 5,000 men from Su Puyan behind him, and more than 3,000 men from Xianbei, he still had a certain local advantage...

However, when Tadun looked back, his lungs were about to burst with anger!

The Xianbei cavalry that had been following Tadun had already begun to prepare to turn away. These Xianbei cavalry, who had grown up fighting on the grasslands, did not need to wait for specific soldiers to come into contact. They could generally calculate the superiority of the troops based on experience. Bad, now that there is no formation and even chaos, the most sensible way is to run as far as possible.

Anyway, this time the Xianbei people followed the Wuhuan people to get a bargain, and they were not willing to sacrifice their lives for the Wuhuan people...

The actions of the Xianbei people directly caused the Wuhuan people in Tadun to lose their confidence even more. Some people even followed the Xianbei people and started to turn around. Whether they could escape is another question. Anyway, as long as they can outrun some of their own people, it will be fine.

"No! No!" Tadun roared in pain, "Come back! Come back! Fight! We have to fight!"

When there are bargains to be found, naturally many people will raise their arms and shout to fight and follow Tadun, as if they will never look back until the end of time, but when death comes with real swords and guns, they really still stand by Tadun's side. , there are only Tadun’s guards and Tadun’s clan members...

The rest of the people, even if they heard Tadun's order, they still turned a deaf ear and ran back. Anyway, so many people ran away. Even if Tadun wants to investigate the responsibility in the future, it is not my business alone. Besides, Whether there will be any pause after this, looking at the situation now, it’s hard to say...

"Huh...ah Luoluo..."

This is Wuhuan's cavalry shouting.

"Quick! Quick! Stab in the ditch!"

This is Zhang Xiu and his men roaring loudly.

The group of Tadun soldiers who were originally chasing and following the closest group of Tadun soldiers bore the brunt and became the first batch of sacrifices under the war horses and blades. They were either knocked away on the spot or hacked to death. There were also some unlucky guys who hid. He survived the collision of the war horses, but did not escape the chaos of horse hooves that followed, and was stepped into the earth alive...

Tadun kept shouting loudly to the soldiers who were fleeing in embarrassment: "Charge up, follow me up..."

However, no one listened to him at all, and everyone ran back faster.

Tens of thousands of galloping war horses are right in front of you, and tens of thousands of blood-stained swords and guns are flying. If you don't run, are you seeking death?

Zhang Xiu saw Tadun's large banner, raised his spear and pointed it: "Follow the nest! Stab the ditch and cut it!" He shot away the unlucky Tadun soldier who was in the way, and then rushed forward to kill Tadun's large banner. .

Tadun saw Zhang Xiu coming to attack him. Perhaps he felt that Zhang Xiu was young, or he thought that if he blocked the Han forwards first, he could regain some of his own momentum, so he led his troops and charged forward. Come up, stare at Zhang Xiu, and slash away with a sharp knife!

"Come on Dihao!"

Although Zhang Xiu had just stabbed an enemy to death, using old tricks and not yet pulling out his spear, when he saw Tadun rushing towards him, he remained calm and unhurried. He released his right hand, then pulled out the sword behind his shoulder from his shoulder, and continued with momentum. With a loud shout, he slashed at Tadun's sword!

"clang!"

There was a loud noise and sparks flew everywhere!

Tadun was shocked by the tiger's mouth, and the sword bounced back! He had no idea that this young-looking young man could be so strong, and in his heart he was horrified as the two horses were already intertwined.

Zhang Xiu had already swung his spear, aimed it at Tadun's back, and hit him hard!

Tadun could only reluctantly dodge, and at the same time put away his sword to block...

"clang!"

There was another loud noise, and the spear hit the knife! Tadun, who was already sore in his mouth, suddenly couldn't hold his sword anymore and flew out with a "swish" sound!
