Zhidu stood on a chariot and stared at the battlefield.

The Mo Dao soldiers in the front row have already tightly entangled the Huns' cavalry.

Although the cavalry of the Thorny Gate Army and the Ba Shang Army returned to the rescue, they were exhausted and seriously injured.

However, as cavalry, they can still keep an eye on the enemy in front of them, preventing them from easily trying to leave the battlefield.

Not to mention, the Huns in front of them were even beyond the reach of their powerful crossbows.

The battle has reached this point.

The organization and structure of the Xiongnu Wanqi have been completely destroyed.

Even their large banners became the trophies of Zhidu.

The rest are just some desperate people who are forced to a dead end and fight in a trapped beast!

In fact, the moment the Thorny Gate Army and the Bashang Army returned for reinforcements, the Xiongnu Wanqi were destined to be destroyed!

The reason why there are still two to three thousand remnants of defeated generals is just to attract the Xiongnu reinforcements who have circled behind the Han army to jump into this fire pit!

"Come on! Come on..." Zhi Du muttered in his mouth, looking at the cavalry carrying the banner of the Huyan clan of the Huns.

There are quite a lot of people, I estimate there should be almost 7,000 riders!

From the looks of it, it should be a strengthened Wanqi!

Coupled with the remaining strength of the Subu clan, this cavalry has a combat strength of at least 9,000 people.

If such a cavalry is determined to leave,

Even if Zhidu has three heads and six arms, he can't stop him!

Don’t even dare to stop!

The Han army has fought so far and paid a heavy price!

The cavalry of the Thorny Gate Army and the Ba Shang Army were almost disabled!

Especially the Ba Shang army suffered nearly 60% battle damage, and only a dozen officers below the rank of captain were intact.

The Thorny Gate Army was relatively in better shape, but its battle losses exceeded 40%.

The remaining cavalrymen were all wounded.

As for the infantry, before the war began, the Han army had 3,000 soldiers, but now, only less than 2,000 are still alive.

There are only about a thousand people who can still wield Mo Dao.

The reason why there are still more than 2,000 Modao formations maintained.

This is because the crossbowmen are on top!

The technical content of Modao is not very high.

Although the crossbowmen may not be as strong as the Modao Army in terms of coordination and formation fighting.

But now that this battle has been fought, there is no need for any formations.

The entangled Huns cavalry were fighting with only their bravery and hope for reinforcements.

They no longer collided with the Han army's array, but confronted the Han army from a distance.

But I didn't dare to run.

Because the Han cavalry was staring at them from both wings.

What's more important is that their men and horses have almost no strength.

Even if I wanted to run, I couldn't take more than a few steps.

Now they can only hope for reinforcements.

And Zhidu is also waiting for the reinforcements from the Huns to come... to die!

Therefore, he ordered the troops to temporarily stop the attack, began to gather the soldiers, restore the system and organization, and at the same time, seize the time to gather the seriously wounded.

only……

"Will the Huns come to rescue?" Zhidu thought in his mind.

The facts soon told him: the Huns will definitely come to save him!

The Hun cavalry that had just joined the battlefield quickly sent a vanguard unit, about a thousand cavalry, to the flanks of the Han army's formation. After observing the situation for a while, they reined in their horses and waited, seemingly sending out

He left the cavalry to contact the main force behind.

Zhidu then knew that a real fierce battle was coming.

To be fair, he could actually lead his army now, abandon the entangled remaining Huns cavalry, and move towards the camp.

After all, the Xiongnu reinforcements numbered at least 7,000 people and were a fresh force.

Both mentally and physically, they were in better condition than the Han army after the hard battle.

If we were to fight them reluctantly, I'm afraid it would be difficult for the tired troops under Zhidu to get any benefit from them.

You must know that since the war began, not only the Han army's cavalry was broken, but also the Modao army was killed in battle and nearly two-thirds were injured.

Even the crossbowmen suffered huge losses.

Any general with some sense would choose to give up as soon as possible.

Anyway, reinforcements from the Han army have arrived.

The Huns probably had nothing to do with the Han army, they would only think about how to retreat safely before making plans.

If we were forced to fight against this new force of the Xiongnu, let alone whether we could defeat the opponent, even if we could win.

I am afraid that few of the Han troops present will be able to return to the Great Wall alive.

but……

Zhi is not an ordinary person.

Until now in this battle with the Huns, Zhi has figured out the true and falsehoods of the Huns.

Although the cavalry on these grasslands were an era behind the Han army in terms of physical fitness and weapons and equipment.

but……

They have rich experience and excellent skills and tactics. Almost every cavalryman is a skilled professional killer.

They are crazy, cold-blooded, and fearless of death!

The fault is that the Han army's equipment and physical advantages are too great.

It's hard to say who will win this battle.

Because of this, Zhidu was unwilling to let them go.

the reason is simple.

The Han Dynasty used the strength of the whole country and the foundation of tens of millions of people to create the five main forces and elites such as the Yulin Guards and the Tiger Guards.

The Xiongnu, whose population was not as good as that of the Han family, were not as technologically advanced and civilized as the Han family, and were not even qualified to shine shoes for the Han family!

How many Wanqi can there be like this?

Zhidu feels that there are no more than ten at most!

Moreover, elite Wanqi like this must have been cultivated very early.

Each cavalryman has experienced at least three battles and spent at least five, or even ten years training.

In other words, just keep these three Wanqi.

Then the Han Dynasty could kill more than 30% of the Xiongnu elites in one go!

Moreover, they are all young people, young people from our headquarters!

Once these people die, within twenty years, the Huns will not be able to train such an elite three thousand horsemen!

From a strategic point of view, even if all the troops under Zhidu's command die, even if Zhidu himself dies, as long as these three thousand cavalry can be replaced.

Then the Han Dynasty is a pure profit!

Although it is cruel and cold-blooded, in the eyes of the Legalists, this is a very worthwhile exchange.

What's more, now, the exchange ratio between the Han army and the Huns is extremely astonishing, at least five for one.

It takes the lives of five Huns to exchange for the life of one Han soldier!

From a purely strategic perspective, this exchange ratio was completely within the acceptable range for the Han Dynasty.

Zhidu looked at the Huns cavalry who were watching from a distance. He waved his hand and gave the order: "Send the order, launch a general attack, and destroy the enemy in front of you!"

Then, the war drums sounded again.

The Han army's Mo Dao formation advanced slowly. Under the cover of the cavalry, they pressed against the Dangtu cavalry, which was already in dilapidated condition and had no organization or discipline at all.
