Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 304 Tension 1
At this moment, Gongsun Xu's side is really not idle. Originally, according to the situation a few days ago, the Huns should have launched an attack early, but today, the Huns did not. This abnormal phenomenon aroused Gongsun Xu's suspicion .

After receiving the letter from Yingnu, Gongsun Xu also made adjustments immediately. All along, Gongsun Xu had hidden nearly [-] troops in his hands. The news that the Huns' spies inquired at the time only showed that Gongsun Xu only had [-] troops. infantry.

Therefore, for a long time, the Xiongnu Shanyu also believed that the total force of Gongsun Xu's side was less than [-]. If it hadn't been for the [-] frontier troops to suppress the position, the Xiongnu Shanyu would have even sent a large army to attack the mountain.

This is also Gongsun Xu's brilliance. He will never let the enemy find out his details. Only in this way can the enemy fail to make correct judgments. In this way, he will have the opportunity to grasp the opponent's strategic flaws.

Obviously, there was a problem with the strategy of the Xiongnu Shanyu against Gongsun Xu's troops. If he knew that Gongsun Xu still had 4 fresh troops, it would be impossible for him to send only [-] cavalry to attack.

There is always a price to be paid for underestimating someone, or miscalculating an opponent.The Xiongnu had already paid the price. Gongsun Xu led the cavalry first. On this mountain, the cavalry of the Northern Xinjiang Army used the mountain to charge, which increased the power of the cavalry.

Although there were several thousand commanders on the Xiongnu side who commanded the cavalry to countercharge, but they were climbing a slope, and the cavalry's offensive was greatly reduced.

So far, Gongsun Xu has never used the forward selection army. From holding the position to the current counterattack, Gongsun Xu relies entirely on the Montenegrin Army. Whether it is the Montenegro infantry or the Montenegro cavalry, they performed well in this defensive battle.

Now, the Montenegrin cavalry is still entangled with the Hun cavalry. The combat effectiveness of the Hun cavalry is indeed more than that of the Montenegrin cavalry. However, in the current situation, the Montenegrin cavalry has a geographical advantage, and this mountain is actually not suitable The cavalry was deployed on a large scale, and the disadvantages of the Montenegro cavalry were made up for a lot.

Not only that, the advantages of the Montenegro cavalry in weapons and armor can now be fully utilized. The soldiers of both sides are anxious on the mountainside, and no one is willing to give in. However, in this melee, the soldiers of both sides cannot Formation formed like that on the plain, it is difficult to bring out the advantages of the Huns cavalry.

Under such circumstances, it is unrealistic to adopt the tactics of riding, shooting and driving. The horse cannot run, and if it runs a little faster, the gravel on the hillside and a piece of wood on the ground will cause damage to the hooves of the horse.

The horses of the Huns cavalry were not very delicate, but in this field full of sharp gravel, the horses of the Huns cavalry were no match for the horses of the Montenegrin Army.

Many Xiongnu soldiers were also very puzzled. In such a venue, how did these unfamiliar cavalrymen of the Northern Xinjiang Army control their horses? Aren't they afraid of being injured by their horses?Aren't you afraid that the war horse will run around uncontrollably?

No one will answer these questions. They only know one thing. The horses of the Northern Army cavalry are not afraid of the rugged mountain roads, the gravel and thorns on the mountain. Cracked, and many war horses could not run.

The current melee has completely become a one-on-one fight. Fortunately, the range of the hillside is not large. The two sides can only invest a total of five or six thousand cavalry at a time. Although they are suppressed to a certain extent, the Xiongnu The soldiers did not intend to retreat.

Many of these Xiongnu cavalry have seen the combat effectiveness of this northern army cavalry. They don't want to believe that it is such a group of rookie-level cavalry who are now in a tie with their own side, and they are slowly occupying it. Dominant trend.

The brave Hun cavalry cannot accept this situation. They must defend the dignity of the Hun warriors. In their view, it is a great shame to be defeated by this group of rookies. Therefore, the blood of the Huns encourages them to persevere and never retreat .

However, so far, this is just a probing attack by Gongsun Xu. The Xiongnu has [-] elite cavalry, but they can't deploy it at once. Destroyed troops.

On the other hand, Gongsun Xu's side is similar. When the organizational system of a unit is disabled, other units will replace it. Moreover, in general, the cavalry division of the Black Mountain Army suppressed the cavalry of the Huns. The position will retreat for a certain distance, and the Montenegro infantry will take the opportunity to occupy it all.

The Huns want to counterattack, but they suffer from the lack of unified command and dispatch. The highest commander staying here is Tie Kun, but he can only mobilize [-] cavalry. As for the [-] Shanyu's personal guards, he dare not intervene Yes, it was a restricted area, and no one dared to move except the Xiongnu Shanyu.

The [-] cavalry mobilized by Tie Kun alone can only draw with the [-] cavalry of the Black Mountain Army at most. As time goes by, this tie will gradually tilt towards the Northern Xinjiang Army.

However, Tie Kun wasn't particularly worried. If it wasn't for Shanyu's order to fight for every inch of land, Tie Kun would rather order the entire army to retreat from the mountain defense. Leaving this mountain, the majesty of the Xiongnu warriors can be displayed immediately.

However, Shanyu has such an order. These days, the Xiongnu managed to drive up the position of the Northern Army, and finally compressed the space of the Northern Army. As long as they persist, the Northern Army will have no way out. Can return.

If the Northern Xinjiang Army is allowed to go down the mountain again, then for the Huns, everything will have to start all over again, and all previous losses will be for nothing.Xiongnu Shan = Shanyu mobilized nearly 5 people here and there, and only 4 were left, which shows the price the Huns paid here.

In this situation, Tie Kun can only bite the bullet. Anyway, the Northern Xinjiang Army will have to pay the price, and Tie Kun is not afraid. However, he himself does not understand why Gongsun Xu has not called the Selected Front Army until now. However, if there is a charge from the Xuanfeng army, even if I add Shanyu's personal guards on my side, I am afraid that I will have to retreat down the mountain.

Maybe Gongsun Xu didn't want to lose the elite, and Tie Kun could only think so.

On the side of the camp of the Northern Xinjiang Army, the Xiongnu Shanyu made several more tentative attacks. The chariot formation of the Northern Xinjiang Army was still indestructible. The Huns replaced [-] troops. The iron spear array has also been replaced. Now, if the Huns continue to charge, they will probably come into direct contact with the northern border army's long spear array.

The Xiongnu Shanyu had already issued an order to Tie Kun to stick to it. No matter what Gongsun Xu wanted to do, he must not be allowed to leave the mountain.As for the ferry on the other side, Shan Yu also received news that two camps were destroyed, 6000 soldiers were beheaded, more than [-] people were killed, and the rest were defeated.

At this moment, the [-] troops who went to reinforce were confronting the white-robed army while gathering the defeated soldiers. The two sides were also confronting each other at the ferry.

When it was learned that it was the Baipao Army and Northern Xinjiang General Zhao Yun who attacked the ferry camp, the Xiongnu Shanyu felt that he might not be Zhao Yun's opponent with only two ten thousand commanders, so after making some adjustments here, he King Zuogu Li led 1000 people to preside over the battle.

The northern army did not sit idly by. When Zhao Yun and the others captured the second camp, Gao Shun immediately sent reinforcements there. So far, a total of about [-] infantry have arrived across the lake by boat. On the other side, Meng Fu, the general of the new army, is building fortifications at the ferry.

In front of the Northern Army camp, the infantry in the chariot formation was also replaced. At this moment, Wei Yan was the commander at the front of the formation. This was the first time he appeared on the battlefield as a commander.

His 5000 men lined up at the forefront of the chariot formation, and [-] pikemen and [-] saber shieldmen cooperated with each other, preparing to meet the attack of the Huns cavalry.Wei Yan himself was in the center of the team, and he was looking forward to this battle. No matter what, Wei Yan knew that he was finally going to stand out, and this battle was enough to boost his reputation.

After the Xiongnu Shanyu discussed with the generals, he assigned three thousand-man troops to attack the northern frontier army chariots. The cavalry harassed, shot, and then collided with the formation. Tear open the opponent's formation, causing the Northern Xinjiang Army heartache.

At the ferry on the other side of the lake, Zhao Yun and Gan Ning had already commanded their subordinates to occupy this camp of the Huns.

Outside the camp, nearly 1 Hun soldiers guarded the exit of the camp. The formation of the [-] Hun cavalry in the front was fairly neat, while the [-] at the end could only be described as messy. The feeling of being defeated by the white robe army was not pleasant. , Up to now, none of them have recovered from the horror of last night.

The Xiongnu finally dispatched two thousand-man teams. They wanted to test the strength of the camp to see if they could attack by force. Zhao Yun on the high tower watched the opponent's cavalry dispatch, and the messenger behind him immediately waved the flag in his hand downward The infantry passed the signal.

Meng Fu at the gate of the camp immediately shouted at the soldiers after receiving the signal: "The enemy is attacking, the whole army is on alert."

Then, the [-] infantry at the gate of the camp were all in high spirits. The sound of the hoofs of the enemy's horses beating the ground made these soldiers feel that this was a signal for battle. No one felt scared. They were all blind Most of the infantrymen selected and trained by Fu are still from the same hometown as Meng Fu. This battle will affect the future of all of them and the fate of their families. They have no reason to be afraid.

When the enemy cavalry approached the camp with [-] steps left, Meng Fu shouted suddenly: "The crossbowmen are ready, release..."

The battle to defend the camp here finally broke out, and the Huns cavalry had to find a way to take back the camp they built themselves. However, it is simply a fantasy to seize meat from the northern Xinjiang army. True chapter.

Zhao Yun and Gan Ning were watching from the tower, Meng Fu was in charge of the camp gate, they were relieved, Bai Pao had to rest after a night of hard work.The war has entered a stalemate, and it depends on who can break the deadlock first.
