Soon, the two cavalry of the Xiongnu also separated, and went to meet Zhao Jun respectively.
In the Zhao army formation, Lian Jing couldn't help but reminded: "General Leqi, they have more numbers than us, and each of them has at least 5000 people."
Le Qi looked at this scene with a gloomy expression: "These Huns think they can do whatever they want because they have more troops than us?
It’s okay, let’s fight them first.”
On the grassland outside Pingyin City, the two armies began to fight.
The arrows kept going back and forth in the air, and the horses carried the riders galloping back and forth. From time to time, some people were hit by arrows and fell to the ground. Some lucky ones were able to limp up and leave the battlefield, while the unlucky ones could only stay in this land forever Go to sleep.
The blood gradually seeped into the grass, sinking into the deepest part of the soil.
After half an hour passed, Le Qi's face gradually changed from solemn to relaxed, and Lian Jing also let out a long breath.
Although they are all three thousand against five thousand, Zhao Jun's side cavalry did not suffer any disadvantages, and even relied on more well-trained soldiers and better longbows and arrows to fight against each other in this cavalry battle. Slowly gained the upper hand.
Le Qi felt relieved, and smiled at Lian Jing: "You see, General Lian Jing, the fighting power of the Huns is nothing more than that.
They may be able to plunder some of Da Zhao's land when we are too late to prepare, but when it comes to a frontal battle, they are definitely not our opponents."
On the other side, the three patriarchs of the Huns also saw the situation on the battlefield.
The chief of the Xubu clan said annoyedly: "Clan chief Lan, it was you who asked us not to send out the most elite troops. Now that the battle is like this, our tribe will suffer a great loss."
The clan leader of the Lan clan laughed, and said unhurriedly: "Why are you in a hurry?
Well, now we can send troops to replace those two useless troops. This time, five thousand soldiers who are the most elite and capable of fighting must go immediately, and fight Zhao people at all costs, understand? "
Although very unhappy, the heads of the Xubu clan and the Huyan clan followed the order of the clan leader of the Lan clan.
Such an obvious large-scale mobilization naturally also attracted the attention of Zhao Jun. Lian Jing said to Le Qi: "The Huns are here again, this time it may be their power to suppress the bottom of the box."
Le Qi chuckled, with an expression of complete control: "Of course.
The Huns had more than 2 cavalry, and they had already sent two [-] cavalry before. This time, two [-] cavalry troops had been dispatched, which meant that they had sent [-] cavalry, and there was only a small reserve left. .
Come on, this time we also sent two [-] cavalry out to let them know how powerful we are."
Under Le Qi's order, Zhao Guo also sent two [-] side cavalry to engage in a fierce battle with the Hun Xubu and Huyan cavalry.
But this time, the result of the war was beyond Le Qi's expectation again.
After nearly half an hour of fierce fighting, the Zhao army and the Xiongnu army were evenly matched.
"how can that be?"
Le Qi opened his eyes wide, unable to believe everything in front of him.
When the three thousand Zhao troops were able to gain the upper hand against the five thousand Huns, why could the five thousand Zhao troops only draw a tie against the five thousand Huns?
On the other side, the heads of the Xubu and Huyan clans of the Xiongnu were also stunned, and asked the same question to the head of the Lan clan.
The head of the Lan clan laughed triumphantly: "Have you heard the story of Tian Ji's horse racing?
If the fighting power of the people of Zhao is regarded as high-grade horses, then we used medium-grade horses to fight against Zhao's high-grade horses before, and of course we were at a disadvantage.
But now, both of your patriarchs have dispatched their most elite [-] cavalry, and that is the confrontation between the best horses and the best horses. What's so strange about a tie? "
The Huns are a tribal system, and of course they cannot be compared with Zhao Jun in terms of discipline and equipment.
But as a nation who lived on horseback from birth to old age, the Huns also possessed extremely powerful riding and shooting skills.
In order to survive, the Huns fought wars with Yuezhi, Linhu, Donghu and other tribes as well as Qin, Zhao, Yan and other northern Chinese vassal states for a long time, which also sharpened and guaranteed their combat effectiveness.
Of course the Huns are weaker than the current Chinese princes, but they are definitely not so weak that they can be beaten to pieces casually. Otherwise, the prairie occupied by the Huns would have become a Chinese territory long ago.
The head of the Lan clan was very proud: "People from Zhao Guo are nothing more than that."
Looking at the proud Lan clan chief, Huyan clan chief couldn't help but said: "Clan chief Lan, we haven't won yet."
The clan leader of the Lan clan laughed loudly, and said, "Look, the Zhao people will show their flaws soon."
Chapter 562
In the distance, Le Qi, the general of the Zhao army, stared at the battlefield with an ugly expression. prp
The casualties of the Zhao army were increasing at the same time as the casualties of the Huns, which was simply unacceptable to Le Qi. Le Qi took a deep breath and said to Lian Jing, "How many cavalry do we have that haven't been sent to the battlefield?"
Lian Jing had been prepared for a long time, and immediately said: "Excluding the [-] cavalry that have just been withdrawn, and the [-] cavalry that are currently fighting the Huns, we still have [-] cavalry that have not entered the battlefield."
Le Qi said decisively: "Then put all the remaining [-] cavalry into the battlefield."
Lian Jing was taken aback, and said: "General Le Qi, if we do this, then we will no longer have a reserve team that can continue to enter the battlefield."
Le Qi was furious: "Go to the reserve team, don't you see that the Huns also don't have a reserve team?
As long as we can overwhelm the 1 Huns on the opposite side, we will surely win this time.”
Lian Jing hesitated and said: "But, I see that there are still many people in the Huns on the opposite side."
Le Qi sneered, and said: "That's just the troops they just joined the battle and then withdrew. Send the order immediately, otherwise we will miss the opportunity of the battle."
Under Le Qi's strict order, Zhao Jun's last [-] cavalry also went into the war.
As for the Xiongnu, the three patriarchs looked at this scene with different expressions.
The head of the Huyan clan took a deep breath and said, "The Zhao people are here again."
The head of the Xubu clan said: "We are in trouble."
The head of the Lan clan looked at the two old men in front of him with contempt in his heart.
For a long time, although the population of the Lan family was small, it was the most valiant tribe among the Huns.
This kind of brave and good at fighting does not mean that the Lan family will only fight the enemy with no brains. On the contrary, the Lan family is actually the only one among the Xiongnu tribe who still pays attention to the art of war and tactics.
The Lan family was actually an exiled noble from the Central Plains of China with a sense of superiority in IQ. The head of the Lan family asked lightly: "You two, let me ask you, how many cavalry can Zhao people send this time?"
The head of the Huyan Clan did the calculation and immediately said: "About four thousand."
The patriarch of the Lan clan asked again: "Then how many cavalry can we send?"
This is also easy to calculate, the clan leader of the Xubu clan said: "We have a total of [-] cavalry, and we have dispatched [-] cavalry, and there are still [-] cavalry left."
The head of the Lan clan laughed and said, "So we use the last [-] cavalry to fight Zhao Jun's [-] cavalry. Do you think we can win?"
This sentence reminded the other two patriarchs and brought them a huge surprise.
Smiles appeared on the faces of the Xubu and Huyan clan leaders at the same time.
The patriarch of the Huyan clan is still making the final confirmation: "But as you said, Zhao Jun's combat effectiveness is top-notch, but what about us?"
If it is [-] "medium horses" or "lower horses" to deal with [-] "higher horses" of the Zhao army, the Huns still cannot say that they will definitely win.
The clan leader of the Lan clan laughed again: "Have you forgotten that my warriors of the Lan clan have never attacked from the beginning to now?"
This sentence once again brought even greater surprises to the two patriarchs, and even made them both laugh at the same time.
Everyone knows that the cavalry of the Lan clan is the strongest cavalry among the three tribes. His complexion has changed.
Lian Jing took a breath and said, "General, it seems that there shouldn't be so many Huns?"
Shock and doubt made Lian Jing's tone not so sure.
Le Qi's Adam's apple rolled with difficulty, and said in a difficult tone: "It seems to be a little more than expected."
In Le Qi's view, the number of Huns should be in the early [-]s, but the military strength displayed by the Huns has exceeded Le Qi's imagination.
What made Le Qi panic was that he wasn't even sure if the Huns had any remaining reserves. It's just the number of people."
Lian Jing licked his dry lips and said, "Maybe so."
Time passed by minute by minute.
The faces of Le Qi and Lian Jing seemed to be beaten by something, and their blood gradually lost their color.
The [-] Xiongnu cavalry fighting against the reserve team of the [-] Zhao Army were not only weak, but stronger than the other Huns. The [-] Zhao Army was completely unable to stop the Huns' offensive, and began to show signs of retreating.
In a cavalry battle, retreat means disintegration and failure. Le Qi couldn't believe everything in front of him. He held the rein of the horse with his right hand and tightly grasped the mane of the mount under his crotch, causing the mount to send out a few There was a soft hiss.
Lian Jing showed a wry smile: "General, I'm afraid we will lose."
After all, Lian Jing came from a family of military generals, so he may not be clear about how to win, but he is still clear about the circumstances under which he will lose.
Le Qi remained silent, but there was a huge wave in his heart.
The Huns were stronger and more cunning than Le Qi imagined.
At this moment, Le Qi felt extremely regretful.
If he had obeyed Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo's order before, it would not be the current situation.
But the world did not regret taking the medicine.
Le Qi took a deep breath, finally made up his mind, and spoke lightly.
"General Lian Jing, we may not lose this battle, we still have a chance to win.
I am going to lead the more than 5000 cavalry who have just retreated to join the battle in order to defeat the enemy."
Lian Jing nodded again and again, his right hand was already holding the longbow behind him.
Le Qi continued: "As for you, General Lian Jing, you will sit here and retreat if you fail to catch things."
Lian Jing was taken aback, and said: "General Le Qi, what are you talking about? Do you really think that I, Lian Jing, are greedy for life and afraid of death?"
Le Qi stretched out his hand to hold Lian Jing's shoulder, with a calm expression and a hint of determination: "I am the commander in chief, and if I lose this battle, I will naturally take full responsibility.
And you, you are just cooperating with me. "
Lian Jing wanted to say something else, but Le Qi suddenly increased his tone: "Don't forget, Le Shi is not only me, but Lian Shi is only left with you. If you die here, Lian Shi will really die." didn't fall down"
Lian Jing had nothing to say.
Le Qi looked at Lian Jing, and suddenly laughed: "Remember, if I die, then the responsibility for stumbling Zhao Kuo in the future will be handed over to you."
Le Qi let out a loud laugh, then pulled out a loud arrow from the quiver behind him, and shot it straight ahead with a whoosh.
This was the signal for the whole army to attack. Seeing Le Qi leading the last few thousand Zhao cavalry galloping towards the enemy in the distance, Lian Jing's heart seemed to be blocked by something, and he wanted to shout but couldn't.
Soon, a news that shocked the country of Zhao and even the whole world spread rapidly.
Zhao's generals Le Qi and Lian Jing led [-] cavalry to meet the Huns' invading army, and were defeated by the Huns.
The main general Le Qi died in battle, and more than half of the [-] Zhao border riders were killed.
Chapter 563: Li Mu is Angry, Suggestion from Mrs.
After several days of trekking, the main force of Chi You's army led by Zhao Kuo finally caught up with Li Mu's vanguard army, which had slowed down due to consecutive battles.
That night, in the tent, Zhao Kuo was listening to Li Mu's report.
"My lord, these cavalrymen of the Shuda clan are very cunning.
Except for the first raid by the minister, they did not confront the minister head-on at all.
Whenever the minister catches up with them, they will immediately gather all the cavalry to surround the minister.
When the ministers want to retreat and put on heavy armor to fight, they will flee immediately, even without the looted food resources. "
Zhao Kuo listened and touched his beard subconsciously, thoughtfully.
The Suoda clan is indeed worthy of being the tribe that is about to unify the Xiongnu. This cunning style, which makes even Li Mu feel helpless, is indeed an excellent secret to survival.
Just when Zhao Kuo was about to say something, the curtain of the big tent was lifted, and Xu Li walked in with a solemn face, reporting a piece of news.
"My lord, I just got the news that Le Qi and Lian Jing led [-] troops outside Pingyin City to fight rashly with the Huns, and were defeated by the Huns.
Le Cheng died, Lian Jing disappeared, and at least half of the [-] Bianqi were killed or injured."
The big tent suddenly fell into silence.
Li Mu's eyes widened in disbelief, his face full of shock.
Le Qi and Lian Jing are the captains of Jiuyuan County and Wuyuan County respectively, and Li Mu served in the Border Cavalry Army of Jiuyuan County.
In other words, how many Pao Ze died in this battle because of the stupidity of Le Qi and Lian Jing?
At some point, Li Mu clenched his fist tightly with his right hand, and his fingers sank deeply into his palm.
Zhao Kuo's performance was much calmer than Li Mu's. He calmly asked, "Is the person sent to Le Qi and Lian Jing sure to return?"
Xu Li said: "It has indeed returned, and it also brought back Le Qi's reply."
