Chapter 660
The next day, Gao Shun led the troops out of the battalion to fight in formation as agreed, and the Xiongnu army retreated five miles to make room for the battlefield. The decisive battle between the two sides was finally about to start.

As soon as Gao Shun's side left the camp, Hua Xiong led [-] elite cavalry to catch up on the other side. His task was to keep an eye on the flanking cavalry of the Huns and prevent them from attacking Gao Shun's troops.

However, it was obvious that Hua Xiong was unnecessary. Gao Shun had already arranged everything. This time, Gao Shun was accompanied by not only [-] non-infantry soldiers, but also [-] cavalry soldiers on the left and right flanks of the infantry.

The formation of armored chariots reappeared on the grassland. Gao Shun still wanted to use this tactic of iron lumps to drag down the opponent's cavalry. Although the Xiongnu Shanyu wanted to prevent the opponent from forming such a formation, he really couldn't find a way to stop it .

"This formation is the nemesis of our army's cavalry, and Gao Shun must not be allowed to list such an armored chariot formation." Xiongnu Shanyu squinted his eyes and said, "Come on, send [-] cavalry to attack and prevent the enemy from forming a battle formation. "

"But, Shan Yu, didn't we agree with the Northern Border Army to fight in formation?" A person next to him asked, "If we do this, then we are not breaking our promise."

"You still talk about such nonsense when you go to the battlefield." Xiongnu Shanyu sneered: "I just want to lure Gao Shun into the battle. Now that the goal has been achieved, don't give me any credit. [-] cavalry, attack."

Under the watchful eyes of the Huns, [-] cavalry charged towards Gao Shun's side, which had not yet formed a formation. Gao Shun squinted his eyes and looked at the cavalry hundreds of steps away, but he didn't say much.

After Hua Xiong saw the enemy's treachery and attack, he would immediately go up to entangle the enemy with [-] cavalry, as long as he could spare time for the main force to line up.

"Yes, Hua Xiong's work is pretty reliable." Gao Shun nodded and ordered: "Order the cavalry on the two wings to prepare to attack. If the enemy sends out more than [-] troops, they will directly rush to kill the enemy's position."

The [-] cavalry on the two wings quickly started to function. They were not for display. As one of the few cavalry in the Hetao camp, their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

"The origin of this cavalry is strange. All the soldiers are dressed as grassland nomadic tribes, and now they come to stop me." The Xiongnu Shanyu snorted coldly: "Hmph, most of them are reinforcements invited by Gao Shun, I want to see how many you have Reinforcement, come, and attack another 1 men, trying to defeat the enemy's [-] cavalry in one fell swoop."

"Well done." Seeing that the Huns dispatched another [-] cavalry, Hua Xiong commanded the remaining troops to join the battle circle without saying a word. Since it was a decisive battle, there was nothing to keep. Hua Xiong felt that he As long as you do your job well, Gao Shun will do the rest.

"Although Hua Xiong's [-] cavalry are elite, they can only entangle the opponent for me." Gao Shun looked at the battlefield and ordered: "Pass it down, the infantry will line up."

At this time, the formation of armored chariots has not yet been lined up, and some of the chariots have not yet arrived at the designated positions. However, Gao Shun can no longer wait for these. Since there were [-] cavalry on the flanks and a large battalion in the rear, there was nothing to worry about.

"The chariots can be lined up on the left and right wings." Gao Shun ordered: "Don't worry about the rear army. Doing this can save at least one-third of the time. Now that time is running out, I know that the Huns are not in a hurry." , hum."

Hua Xiong worked very hard here, at least the [-] cavalry of the Huns failed to overwhelm them, let alone rush to the infantry position. Taking advantage of this gap, Gao Shun quickly completed the arrangement of the chariot formations on the left and right wings .

"Blow the horn." Looking at the prepared position, Gao Shun ordered: "The cavalry guard their positions, the infantry line up, and let Hua Xiong retreat."

The desolate horn sounded in the wilderness. After Hua Xiong heard it, he immediately withdrew from the battlefield. The Xiongnu army also received the order to go back. At this time, the chariot formation was formed, so there was no need to entangle like this.

"The chariot formation of the Northern Frontier Army is less than half of the layout." Xiongnu Shanyu said coldly: "I didn't expect Gao Shun to play such a trick with me. Hmph, come here, prepare to attack."

The scene of thousands of galloping horses soon appeared on the grassland. In front of the chariot formation, rows of pikemen guarded their positions, and behind them were rows of crossbowmen. As long as the Huns cavalry came within range, the people who greeted these cavalry would be It is a ruthless arrow,,,,,,

"Report,,,,,,," a team of scouts rode over to report to Gongsun Xuhui: "My lord, the battle has already begun at the camp. General Gao Shun led the army to fight against the enemy. It is estimated that the battle is about to begin at this time." It's been half an hour."

Gongsun Xu nodded, and then turned his head to look in the direction of the Huns' camp. He asked Li Ru next to him, "How many soldiers and horses do you think the enemy camp will be stationed in?"

"According to intelligence, the number of people does not exceed [-]." Li Ru replied: "Besides, the main task of this camp is just to store supplies. The main force of the Xiongnu army set up a camp outside our army's Hetao camp. Most of the troops are there.

This camp was only built by the enemy army for the winter, so on the surface, the camp looks very large and magnificent, and the layout of the camp is more defensive, so it is difficult for our army to capture it for a while. "

"In other words, we don't just want to take down this camp." Gongsun Xu sneered, "I want to send a general and lead [-] cavalry to guard this place. There are these trenches and traps in front of the camp, which are enough to prevent the enemy from leaving the camp. gone."

"My lord, do you want to take this opportunity to attack the rear of the Xiongnu army, and attack General Gao Shun?"

"That's right, this place is more than 40 miles away from the Hetao camp. The Xiongnu army may not know that our army has detoured here, and it is time for me to lead the army to attack." Gongsun continued with a smile: "What do you think? "

"I think the lord can still set a fire." Li Ru nodded and replied: "Since the lord is going to attack the enemy's rear, it is even more important to defeat the enemy's fighting spirit first."

"It's exactly what I want." Gongsun Xu laughed and said, "Wen You is really a smart person, and he thought of going with me."

Half an hour later, when the main force of the Xiongnu army was still fighting fiercely with the Gaoshun army, a puff of black smoke rose into the sky from behind, in the direction of the main camp of the Huns.

"Chan Yu, look, what is that?" Someone pointed to the black smoke in the distance and said, "It seems to be our main business direction."

"Huh?" The Xiongnu Shanyu looked back and said: "What a fuss, that's not the direction of our main camp. If it's passed on, the army doesn't need to panic. All the supplies in the main camp have been in operation for the past few days. The camp is here, even if the main camp is lost.

The enemy could not hold on any longer, so they sent [-] more cavalry to attack, trying to take the Gaoshun army's position in one fell swoop. "

The Xiongnu Chanyu's order was quickly conveyed, and another [-] cavalry attacked. Many of the remaining cavalry saw the black smoke behind, but since the Xiongnu Shanyu had already said that all supplies had been shipped, that means This black smoke can't affect his side at all.

Although many people are skeptical, but the Xiongnu Shanyu has said so, what else can they do.

"It's so ruthless." The Xiongnu Shanyu cursed in his heart: "I came to attack your camp, but you actually sent someone to seize the main camp behind me. If you don't decide whether you will live or die today, what will I fight with you tomorrow, Gao Shun?" , today's battle, only one of you and I can survive."

The Xiongnu army has dispatched [-] cavalry to charge. This is almost using the crowd tactics to defeat the infantry positions of the northern border army. However, how could Gao Shun be defeated so easily.

Hua Xiong attacked again, they had already fought with [-] Huns, and now only [-] cavalry were left guarding the two wings of the chariot formation, and the rest of the cavalry had already opened up another battlefield with [-] Huns cavalry.

"Pass it down, order one thousand soldiers of the trapped camp and two thousand pikemen to step forward and replace the pikemen in front." Gao Shun looked at the battlefield and ordered: "Don't let the enemy army overwhelm our front position."

Under the fierce attack of the Huns cavalry, the infantry position on Gaoshun's side gradually shrank, and the 1000 pikemen in front also lost more than 3000 people.

Faced with such a situation, Gao Shun immediately sent someone forward to replace the exhausted pikemen. The ace infantry in his hand hadn't attacked yet. After all, the enemy still had so many cavalry on standby. Gao Shun You have to be careful.

The soldiers of the Thousand Suppressed camp showed extraordinary fighting power as soon as they attacked, and the position that the Huns finally took was immediately taken back by the soldiers of the Thousand Snarled camp.

Cavalry can attack infantry positions, and infantry can also drive cavalry away.With the trump card troops in the trapped camp here, it would be quite difficult for the Huns to defend the position they had finally won.

"Master, our army is still twenty miles away from Hetao camp." On the grassland, the scouts reported the distance to Gongsun Xu.

"Twenty miles, it's not far away." Gongsun Xu ordered: "Order the white antelope and the Along tribe to detour to the left and right wings of the Xiongnu army to wave flags and shout, pretending to be the main force of our army.

Come on, order six thousand tigers and ten thousand wolves, let me kill them first, Wen You, the follow-up troops will be in your command, and you must rush to the battlefield as soon as possible. "

"My lord, don't worry, the villain will not delay my lord's important affairs." Li Ru clasped his hands and replied, "The follow-up [-] troops will definitely arrive in time."

After Gongsun Xu nodded, he led the Huben army and the Sirius army to step ahead ahead of the large troops.The Huben Army and the Sirius Army can be regarded as the most elite troops that Gongsun Xu has at hand, and they are also the troops that Gongsun Xu trusts the most. After all, these two elite troops followed Gongsun Xu and came back from the depths of the grassland. The highest degree of control.

"Today's battle, I swear to destroy the Xiongnu." Gongsun Xu ran at the front of the team and shouted: "All the soldiers should fight the enemy bravely, and seal their wives and sons, right now."

More than 6000 elite cavalry all shouted and rode their horses and galloped. They are still equipped with three horses each. What matters is speed.

Seeing that there were still more than five miles away from the battlefield, Gongsun Xu immediately ordered a change of horses, and the whole army marched forward.The [-] soldiers quickly completed these instructions as they advanced, and they were about to fight the enemy.
