Chapter 188 Battle with Huyan

Guo Kai just had the information sent back to Luntai.

A group of about 300 Huns cavalry also came out of the camp.

"Well done!"

Zhao Yi, who was feeling itchy, immediately asked Guo Kai for instructions to go into battle.

However, Guo Kai rejected his request.

"Captain Guo, why don't you go to battle?"

Guo Kai smiled slightly, "Do you understand?"

Guo Kai pointed at the Huns who went to war and reminded them.

Zhao Yi took a closer look and found that these Huns were indeed different from what he had seen before.

The armor coverage rate of the general Huns cavalry is about 30%.

But this cavalry is all armored, and their equipment is also different.

The main battle equipment of this cavalry was the same halberd as the main cavalry of the Han army, and their secondary weapons were not bows but crossbows and Han swords.

"Is this cavalry the new army trained by Li Ling and Wei Lu?"

Guo Kaidao said, "Nineteen or ten!"

At this time, Guo Kai said to Dong Fei who was standing aside, "Dong Junhou, I will lead 300 of my subordinates and go to test it out. Be careful not to engage the enemy easily..."

"promise!"

Dong Fei agreed and rode out of the camp with the newly formed three hundred volunteers.

"kill!"

When they saw the Han army coming out of camp, the pair of Xiongnu cavalry came over to kill them one by one.

But unlike before, although these Huns were shouting, their formation was not disordered at all.

It is obviously much stronger than the ordinary Huns cavalry.

"King Sun Zhu, what do you think of this team of cavalry?"

King Sun Zhu nodded, "Is this the recruit trained by the Right School King?"

"That's right. Now I'm just a freshman. It's also thanks to you that the king of the right school gave me 300 horses..."

The Ri Zhu King nodded, "The Right School King was known for his good training in troops when he was in the Han Dynasty. Last year, some warriors in our department were trained by him, and their combat power has indeed improved a lot..."

…

"Che Xuan Formation!"

On the battlefield, Dong Fei was surprised to find that the Huns actually used the chariot formation commonly used by the Han army.

This made Dong Fei feel a lot of pressure when he faced the new Xiongnu army.

He actually had the feeling of fighting against the Han army.

"Fire the arrow!" "Wind!"

The two armies issued the same order almost at the same time.

The new Xiongnu army moved in unison, and was actually stronger than the Han army's loyal followers.

The two sides fought hard, but Dong Fei's Yi Congqi fell behind.

"Let Dong Fei come back!"

Guo Kai ordered the gold to be withdrawn.

"How does it feel?"

Guo Kai asked Dong Fei.

"Then Li Ling is really good at it. I didn't expect that the Huns' combat power improved so much after being trained by him..."

Guo Kai smiled and said, "How about comparing it to Wu Luntai?"

Dong Fei raised his eyebrows, "How dare they dare to compete with the Han army in Luntai!"

…

The next day, King Huyan, who thought he had figured out the strength of the Han army, finally sent out troops despite the objections of King Rizhu.

Except for the 400 people who were left to guard the horses, the three thousand Huns followed King Huyan and poured out of the camp.

The Sun Chaser King found an excuse to stay in the camp.

The Sun Chaser King is not optimistic about this battle. He is already prepared to run away immediately if the situation goes wrong.

King Huyan looked down upon King Rizhu's behavior, and now he only thought about how to show his bravery.

He wanted to become the first Huns to defeat the Han army head-on in a field battle.

On the other side, Guo Kai also smiled when he saw the Huns leaving the camp.

"Second and third sons, go out to attack Hu..."

Soon, the two sides were three or four miles apart, and they were facing each other in formation.

The layout of the Huns was very simple. They simply divided the army into three groups: left, center and right.

The three hundred fine cavalry we saw yesterday were placed in the center by the Huns.

Depending on the situation, the Huns wanted to rely on these 300 cavalry to overwhelm the center of the Han army.

The arrangement of the Han army is relatively more complicated.

Arranged directly in front were three hundred Han army crossbowmen, and behind them were two hundred spearmen.

On the left were 700 Yicon cavalry, and on the right were more than 5,500 Han army cavalry.

Guo Kaize took himself as a reserve force of 300 Yi Cong, composed of elites from various countries.

The two sides faced off for about two quarters of an hour. King Huyan, who could no longer bear it, first ordered an attack.

"If we attack on the right wing, I want to see how these Han troops are doing?"

"Woooo!" The Huns' horn sounded.

The Hun riders did not charge immediately but moved forward slowly.

"Captain Guo, should we also send cavalry to attack?" King Dongqiemi asked from the side.

"No need for the moment. This time, let these Huns see the power of the Han army's arrow array."

"The left wing cavalry retreated."

Guo Kai issued an order that made the Huns feel strange.

King Huyan thought for a moment and decided to continue the attack according to the original plan.

At this time, the attacking Huns cavalry was only 300 steps away from the Han army's left flank.

"The right wing disturbs the enemy!"

Guo Kai issued the order.

After receiving the order, Dong Fei took immediate action.

Under his command, Yi Congqi did not attack in a straight line, but in an arc.

Because the Hun cavalry that attacked were mainly bow cavalry.

Therefore, facing the attacking Yi Cong cavalry, they almost reflexively moved closer to the front of the Han army.

At this time, King Huyan had already realized that something was wrong, but now the Xiongnu cavalry had begun to accelerate, and there was only a hundred and fifty steps away from the Han army.

Guo Kai looked happy and waved his hand, and an archer from the Han army shot a red arrow.

At the same time, the Hun cavalry's horse speed also reached its fastest speed.

"Crossbowmen prepare!"

After receiving the order, all the Han army's crossbowmen raised their bows and crossbows.

When the Hun rider crossed the red arrow.

Guo Kai waved his hand decisively.

"wind"

After giving the order, the Han army's crossbowmen shot the arrows in their hands at the same time.

The dense rain of arrows shrouded the incoming Hun cavalry.

There were screams one after another, and one by one the Huns cavalry fell from their horses.
