Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

This also caused the U桓 camp to fall into a standstill despite the sound of the surprise attack horn. Many U桓 people hesitated before sparsely emerging from their tents.

Even after leaving the tents, they were constantly pelted by dense, bean-sized raindrops.

Most U桓 people, let alone find their way in the white expanse of rain, could barely lift their heads and open their eyes. They could only rely on their familiarity with the camp, lowering their heads and gathering towards the nearest centurion.

Meanwhile, after Zhang Fei led the Eighteen燕云 Riders to break through the main gate of the U桓 camp, a large number of Han soldiers swarmed in.

"Kill the 胡!"

"Disperse and kill the 胡!"

The Han army, having undergone extensive training in the rain, did not choose to maintain formation after entering the U桓 camp. Or rather, in such a downpour, it was impossible for either the U桓 or the Han army to maintain a large-scale formation.

Therefore, the Han soldiers, in units of ten, maintained small groups and began to kill their way towards the nearest U桓 tents.

A什 consisted of ten men, just the right number to barely see their teammates in such a heavy rain. Each held either a long spear, a round shield, or a broadsword, cooperating with each other.

In contrast, the unprepared U桓 people, without warhorses, unable to don armor in time, and even unable to open their eyes in the heavy rain, could only wield their scimitars and engage in scattered hand-to-hand combat with the Han army.

The outcome was predictable.

Wherever the什长 led their troops, the U桓 people were almost instantly routed, with large patches of blood constantly splattering.

Slaughter!

One Han equals five 胡, at this moment… truly materialized!

If someone could overlook the entire U桓 camp from high above, ignoring the rain, they would see the Han army, in units of什, like thick gray dots, constantly breaking through the U桓 tents and dyeing all the U桓 people they encountered red.

In a short while, a strong bloody aura rose within the U桓 camp.

Li Ji's chariot had also entered the U桓 camp, constantly supervising the battle with short, impassioned drumbeats, and continuously boosting the morale of the Han soldiers.

As long as the drumbeats continued, the Han soldiers, who could only see ten men within their sight, knew that the central army was safe and the commander was safe. They only needed to keep moving forward… Kill the 胡!

Kill more 胡!!!

However, after driving the chariot into the U桓 camp, Li Ji heavily tapped the sword in his hands three times on the chariot.

Immediately, the guards driving the chariot stopped it and quickly drew their sabers to cut the reins of the three warhorses pulling the chariot. Then, they formed a circular formation around Li Ji's chariot to protect the central army.

After the chariot came to a complete stop, Li Ji's gaze fell on a map of the camp placed in front of him.

This map was not accurate, only roughly depicting the overall structure of the U桓 camp. This was the result of exhausting all efforts to send out many scouts over the past two months.

With visibility impaired, Li Ji could only use this method to determine how to deploy his troops next.

Currently, those who were scattered in什 units to kill the U桓 people were almost all Youzhou infantry.

In addition to this, Li Ji also had about twenty thousand Wu Commandery infantry under his command.

Unlike the Youzhou infantry, the Wu Commandery infantry completely obeyed Li Ji's orders from top to bottom, without having to worry about generals like Xianyu Fu secretly undermining him.

The current initial development was almost completely in line with Li Ji's expectations.

Immediately, Li Ji, having re-evaluated the situation in his mind, gave the order.

"Order, Yide to immediately lead ten thousand infantry to take the U桓 central army tent…"

This was not to demand that Zhang Fei directly kill Qiuli Ju, but to destroy the U桓 people's main tent through this action, further disintegrating the U桓 people's ability to organize a large-scale counterattack, forcing many U桓 people to fight on their own in this harsh environment.

After breaking through the main gate of the U桓 camp, Zhang Fei, who had retreated to the vicinity of the central army, was also prepared for this order.

At Li Ji's request, Zhang Fei also did not ride a horse, but led ten thousand soldiers on foot towards the U桓 central army tent.

It could be said that under Li Ji's well-prepared offensive, the entire front camp of the U桓 camp had completely fallen before Qiuli Ju and other U桓 leaders could make an effective response.

Or rather, it was not that the U桓 leaders did not respond, but that under the torrential rain, it was not easy for these U桓 leaders to contact and organize the strong young men of their respective tribes.

This sudden change and fierce offensive caught all the U桓 people completely unprepared.

"Enough!!"

Seeing that the U桓 leaders and village chiefs in the tent seemed to be panicking, Qiuli Ju's face darkened, and he slammed his palm on the table, shouting.

"The Han dogs only took advantage of the rain to attack our camp while we were unprepared, but it will not change the fact that the Han dogs are all infantry."

"As long as each U桓 leader organizes their confidants to temporarily resist the Han dogs' offensive, once the rain stops, these Han dogs who dare to leave the city will only be prey for the U桓."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of many U桓 leaders shook.

"What the U桓 King said is extremely true, these Han dogs are walking right into a trap…"

"As long as we hold on, once the rain stops, we can completely leave these Han dogs here, and even take the opportunity to break through Ji City in one fell swoop."

"Foolish Han dogs, you are courting death!!!"

…

Seeing that many U桓 leaders and village chiefs had regained their composure, Qiuli Ju sneered and said.

"The rain is heavy, visibility is poor, and the camp is densely packed with tents, making it difficult for warhorses to run…"

"However, we can organize and dispatch twenty thousand elite cavalry to exit from the side gate, detour outside the camp, and then order the strong young men of each tribe in the camp to retreat near the main tent and defend to the death based on the terrain."

"As long as we hold out until the rain ends, the elite cavalry detouring outside the camp can deliver a fatal blow to the Han army."

Immediately, many U桓 leaders, who also often experienced battles, expressed their support for Qiuli Ju's decision.

In this way, once the rain stopped.

With a pincer attack from the front and rear, the Han army would undoubtedly be defeated!

Such a heavy rain will definitely not last long.

In addition, with the U桓 leaders and village chiefs, who held extremely high positions in the hearts of the U桓 youth, supervising the battle centered on the main tent, it could also be guaranteed that the morale of the U桓 youth would not collapse.

However, just as many U桓 leaders and village chiefs recognized this and were preparing to form a cavalry of twenty thousand elite troops to leave from the side gate of the camp.

"Rumble!!!!"

A thunderous roar, as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was splitting, startled many U桓 leaders and village chiefs in the tent, causing them to tremble subconsciously, and the objects they were holding fell to the ground.

After Qiuli Ju was slightly stunned, his face suddenly turned pale, as if all the color had completely drained away in a short instant, and he murmured.

"It's over!"

Humans are already uncontrollably afraid of thunder, let alone horses?

As this continuous thunder sounded, not only did many U桓 people feel fear, but a large number of warhorses in the U桓 camp also neighed and rioted wildly.

Under such circumstances, let alone U桓 people, even Huo Qubing resurrected might not be able to sit firmly on horseback.

This burst of thunder also had some impact on the Han army.

However, when the Han army was training in the rain, they had to endure the interference of Zhang Fei's thunderous voice from time to time, which made the impact of such thunder on the forty thousand Han troops far lower than that of the U桓 people.

Compared to the U桓 people who could not find their generals, and the generals who could not find their soldiers, the drumbeats of the central army had never stopped, as if constantly providing guidance to the Han soldiers.

Guidance, in this chaotic battle with unclear visibility, was more important than anything else.

This rain lasted much longer than Qiuli Ju had imagined.

Half an hour, an hour, an hour and a half…

With the Youzhou soldiers already exhausted from killing, Li Ji used the last ten thousand remaining troops he had been holding back, replacing the Youzhou soldiers and continuing to break through the hastily organized lines of defense in the U桓 camp.

Finally, under the immense pressure brought by the seemingly endless rain and the seemingly butcher-like Han army…

The morale of the U桓 people completely collapsed!

A large number of U桓 people, unable to control their warhorses, even chose to flee the battlefield on foot.

When the rain and thunder finally gradually subsided, and with the U桓 main tent already broken through by Zhang Fei, many U桓 people whose morale had completely collapsed rode their warhorses and fled hastily to the north.

The continuous rain washed away the blood in the camp, but it could not wash away the corpses that littered the ground.

Great victory!

Forty thousand infantry defeated eighty thousand U桓 cavalry, a complete victory!

Li Ji remained firmly seated in the chariot, the sword in his hand never unsheathed to fight, and even had the most elite thousand infantrymen guarding him around the chariot.

However, Li Ji knew that his sword might not have been stained with blood, but his hands were covered with blood that could not be washed away.

Forty thousand…

Li Ji stood up in the chariot, looking out over the entire U桓 camp, estimating the area of the camp that the Han army had truly captured, and roughly judging the number of U桓 people who had died in the camp.

The rest had all fled north.

Li Ji looked at the figures of the U桓 people fleeing to the north, and did not continue to command the Han infantry, who had been fighting in the rain for an hour and a half, to continue to pursue and kill the U桓 along the way.

It wasn't that Li Ji was being merciful, unwilling to continue staining his hands with Wuhuan blood, but rather that it was almost impossible for infantry to pursue and kill cavalry.

Therefore, Li Ji could only hope that his previous arrangements were in place, and that Gongsun Zan and Zhao Yun would be able to arrive at the designated location in time to give this broken-spined Wuhuan dog one last blow. (End of Chapter)
