They wanted to attack the village gate, but the kerosene thrown from above and the torches burned dozens of Huns warriors alive in front of the gate.
In just a few hours, the losses of the Xiongnu troops along this route were close to a thousand.
And such battles don't only happen here.
When the Xiongnu army invaded Zhao's hometown.
Every village they faced was either a rock-solid fortress or a deserted village without even a grain of food.
All the Huns generals understood at this moment that those cunning Central Plains people had changed their strategies.
If they did not attack these well-fortified camps, they would not be able to grab any supplies. If they attacked, the Huns would suffer a large number of casualties and it would be difficult not to feel distressed.
And in terms of the Central Plains people's art of war, if they kowtow to death at the beginning, the Xiongnu's military front will not last long.
At this time, they were among the army in the middle.
Touman looked at the camp in front of him, which was burning brightly. The resistance in this camp was very fierce. Even if the 2000 Huns attacked fiercely, they still suffered more than [-] casualties.
This made Touman very uncomfortable.
And now that I think about it, the other roads seem to be in the same situation.
An army of 14 went south to plunder, which in itself consumed a huge amount of resources.
Now, after finally capturing one of these villages, the Xiongnu suffered huge casualties. If this continues...
"Give me the order to bypass all the surrounding villages and go straight to Handan!"
Touman Shanyu said: "Inform the other four groups that this time I will take Handan directly!"
……
Fu Che made a series of preparations before this war came.
Stock up on supplies, train cavalry, and study tactics.
The most important of these is to fortify the border areas.
This is what is called fortressing.
Select relatively large villages in the border areas to station sergeants, ranging from seven to eight hundred to as many as 2000. These people train local men as militiamen and provide assistance during wartime.
Then all the people and materials from the surrounding small villages were moved to these large villages.
After that, the treasury allocated materials to transform these villages into fortresses, build high walls, set up arrow towers, beacon towers, etc.
Then the Handan arsenal spent a large amount of ordnance, especially long-range weapons such as arrows, bows and crossbows, to enhance the defense of these camps.
Within a month or two, these camps have completely transformed into iron hedgehogs.
Its own defensive power is extremely strong. Although it is not so strong that the Xiongnu cannot capture it, if you want to capture such a camp, it will not only cause the Xiongnu to pay a lot of casualties, but also consume a lot of time.
One minute on the battlefield can determine the direction of the war.
There are hundreds of such camps throughout the Zhao Kingdom.
The Xiongnu's attack will delay the Xiongnu's troops.
If the Xiongnu took a detour and did not attack, then these camps would send out their own scouts to track the Xiongnu's movements at any time, and use carrier pigeons to spread the news to Fuche's army.
These camps are Fu Che's eyes.
It was precisely because of these eyes that Fu Che had enough confidence to deal with the southward attack of 14 Huns cavalry.
This battlefield is almost one-way transparent to both sides.
There were five Hun armies, and Fu Che was familiar with the movements of each route.
At this time, along the way, facing the camp in front of them that was determined to resist to the death, real fire was being fired.
Countless Huns dismounted and turned into infantry, desperately attacking the camp.
The Huns are natural warriors and natural cavalry.
On the grassland, the strong are always respected, and it is the nature of the Huns to be brave and fierce.
In addition, when they went south to plunder in the past, these Central Plains people were like lambs. I originally thought that the same would be true this time when they went south.
But who would have thought.
Not at all this time.
This chapter is not over, please click the next page to continue reading!
All of them are hard-core.
The huge gap made the generals who commanded the Hun cavalry very irritated.
Capturing this camp became his obsession.
"Take this place and kill everyone. The first person to break through the city gate will be rewarded with five thousand cattle and sheep, fifty slaves, and hundreds of miles of pasture!"
shouted the Hun general.
But at this time.
Suddenly there was a sound breaking through the sky.
"Whoosh!"
This sound was very harsh.
"careful!"
I don't know who yelled.
But the next second, the Hun general stared blankly at his chest.
I saw a blood hole on his chest that was constantly spurting out blood.
The three layers of chain armor and bronze hard armor on his body did not play a role in fixed-point defense at all.
On the ground not far away, an arrow full of blood was trembling.
The Hun general fell to the ground.
And the earth trembled at this moment.
"attack!"
A loud drink.
"Kill them all!"
This sound echoed throughout the battlefield.
Countless black-armored cavalry were charging towards the Huns who were besieging the camp in the heavy snow.
Under the darkness of night, black armored cavalry were overwhelming.
On the Xiongnu side, more than half of the Huns were still attacking the city on foot, and the only small number of cavalry still on horseback were also in scattered formations.
They never thought that they would encounter a wild battle here.
The outcome of this battle is already determined.
Especially the enemy's formation is strict.
The Huns, on the other hand, responded to the battle hastily.
Chapter 137 The key to the Huns!
The earth is shaking.
The war horses neighed.
The scream of killing was earth-shattering.
"woo woo woo woo……"
The sound of the horn is long and distant.
However, at this moment, for the Huns, it was death coming from the sky.
"kill!"
Qiang Yu took the lead.
Led [-] cavalry to charge and kill.
The Huns were in panic and found it difficult to organize an effective defense.
The battlefield at this moment is like a hard and dilapidated dam, facing the black torrent in front of you.
"boom!"
The vanguard of thirty thousand cavalry had already charged into the midst of the enemy.
Suddenly the shouts of killing shook the sky and the earth.
Just one Huns who rushed to fight had already suffered heavy losses.
They not only had to face the [-] cavalry led by Qiang Yu.
At this time, the gate of the originally besieged camp has also been opened.
Thousands of black-armored Qin troops also fought out of the camp. Although the number was small, they faced the Huns who were now in chaos.
Under the fierce attack of the Qin army along the way, the Huns also suffered great losses in the face of the front and rear flanking attacks.
A major defeat was inevitable.
As for Fu Che.
At this moment, he was leading [-] cavalrymen standing on a commanding height on the battlefield.
Behind him are three thousand golden fire cavalry and seven thousand armored cavalry.
This is the most effective part of Fuche's [-] cavalry.
The reason why these [-] cavalry did not participate in the battle is also very simple.
Fu Che must have enough troops on hand to deal with anything that may happen.
Although the enemy is divided into five groups, the distance between each group is only two to three hundred miles, and the cavalry can reach them in just over half a day if they advance at full speed.
