Li Yunze's Chinese army received his personal training and was well-fed and well-equipped.
His personal ability and teamwork ability are both outstanding.
Taking the garrison formation of fifty people as the standard, three garrison formations are arranged in a row in the shape of a pin, and there are ten such garrison formations rushing forward in sequence.
Li Yunze changed the military equipment of the Zhongshan Kingdom and changed the infantry and long soldiers from halberds to spears.
It's not a five-meter-long anti-marron gun, but a standard infantry spear.
In addition to the sword and shield, the sword and shield soldiers also carried two short spears on their backs.
When Suburu's trusted general Han'erlun came with two thousand men to stop him, the pikemen in the front row held their spears flat in their hands and pointed the slightly trembling spearheads forward.
The sword and shield soldier behind took off the short spear from behind, and when the two sides were more than ten steps apart, he threw it forward with all his strength.
Throwing short spears when facing a battle was not exclusive to the Roman legions.
Two short spears were thrown in succession, and the pikemen in the front row began to stab fiercely and hard.
The sword and shield soldiers behind them rushed over with their backs bent, and transformed into jumping soldiers to break through the formation and fight.
Of course, the crossbowmen on both sides were not idle, and arrows were constantly flying on the battlefield.
This army and horses were trained by Li Yunze himself. They received generous food and salary on weekdays, and generous rewards during the New Year and festivals. They were even guaranteed to have meat every day.
Not only am I living a good life, but my family is also living a very good life.
At this point, it was time for them to repay King Zhongshan.
The Han army withstood the rain of arrows fired from the opposite side and fought hard forward to fight with the Aries tribe who came to stop them.
Han Erlun personally led the most elite Danghu account army in the entire Aries tribe and launched a counterattack against the Han army.
But he was very shocked, because the Han army in front of him, which was not large in number, was extremely difficult to defeat.
They are skilled in tactics and techniques, and have a tacit understanding of cooperation. The same goes for other Han troops. There is not much to say.
But their equipment was really good. At least in Han Erlun's eyes, everything he saw was iron armor. Even the crossbowmen who were hiding behind and firing arrows were wearing iron helmets.
It is difficult for ordinary weapons to damage the protection of iron armor, at least weapons such as bones and maces can cause effective damage.
But there is a lack of iron weapons on the grassland, so where can we get so many weapons?
As for the result, they watched helplessly as the men in the front row were pierced by spears, cut down by swords, and shot to death by strong bows and crossbows.
Groups of tribesmen fell down, and at least hundreds of people were lost in this effort.
Hanerlun, whose eyes were red, rushed forward with his tent troops holding a double-edged sword.
What Li Yunze deployed was a modified version of the Sancai Formation. Instead of asking the sergeants in the front row to fight to the death, the formations in the back row were cycled forward layer by layer in a manner similar to the rotation of gears, fighting alternately.
When Han Erlun launched the most ferocious counterattack, Li Yunze, who noticed this scene, raised his hand and dropped the visor on his helmet. He held two hammers in his hands and went straight towards him with the soldiers around him.
Wearing thick armor, Li Yunze is not afraid of arrows or swords.
In fact, it doesn't make any difference whether he criticizes the armor or not. It's just that in order not to leave the image of a perverted monster to the world, he wears thick armor as a cover.
Glancing at the many sharp arrows that landed on his armor and stomach, Li Yunze thought thoughtfully, "Looks like they are the elite of the Aries tribe."
Most of the arrowheads used by ordinary herdsmen are bone arrows. The main reason is naturally due to the lack of metal on the grassland.
And those who can use metal arrows must be the elite of the tribe.
Li Yunze, who was holding a hammer in both hands, roared, "Get out of the way! Pretend to beep while blocking me!"
The personal guards who were guarding him hesitated a little and moved away with their shields in hand.
Li Yunze wore a set of armor that was completely different from that of this era, covering everything from helmet, visor, neck guard, breastplate, arm armor, iron gloves, skirt armor, greaves and even iron boots.
A tin can that is truly wrapped from beginning to end.
Especially when he appeared on the battlefield with heavy steps, holding a huge hammer in each hand, he felt really oppressive.
If you use a visual representation, it would be like Sauron wearing the Lord of the Rings appearing in front of the coalition forces.
Lifting the hammer in his hand, Li Yunze swept out, and the unlucky guy on the opposite side was immediately sent flying.
It really flew away, soaring into the air and flying more than ten feet away.
Everyone around was shocked when they saw this scene.
Seeing that his hammer was so big, many people thought it was made of wood and painted on the outside, specifically to scare people.
Now, I am really shocked, it is actually true!
The two hammers were danced by Li Yunze to make a sound. This was a real collision and death.
Li Yunze was as unstoppable as a siege truck. He rushed into the Aries tribe's tent and started killing. The figures flying up one after another made a long wailing sound.
The morale-boosted Han army followed closely and defeated the tent army with overwhelming force.
Han Erlun, who was crazy with anxiety, rushed towards Li Yunze with a double-edged sword in both hands, gritted his teeth and used all his strength to smash it into Li Yunze's chest.
The breastplate is the thickest part of the carapace.
'when!'
There was a muffled sound, and the double-edged sword broke unexpectedly.
Han Erlun, whose hands were covered in blood from the tiger's mouth, raised his head and met Li Yunze's eyes under his mask.
‘Woo~~~’
Amid the sharp sound that broke through the air, Hanerlun felt his eyes go dark, and then he fell into eternal darkness.
Glancing at Han Erlun who was hit without his head, Li Yunze shook the hammer and moved forward again.
The Aries tribe, which lost its leader, quickly fell into disintegration.
Even their most elite tent troops are the same.
Suburu never expected that two thousand people would be defeated so quickly.
Not only did they fail to stop the Han army from attacking from the side, they even turned around and disrupted the main formation of the Chinese army.
As for the cavalry fighting in the distance, on such a chaotic battlefield, it is simply impossible to conduct micro-control operations like arms and fingers.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The orders the cavalry received before were either to attack or to block.
Now they have been ordered to retreat. No matter how elite the troops are, they cannot complete the transition from attacking to retreating in a short period of time.
In other words, reinforcements or the like cannot be expected in a short period of time.
Seeing that the Han army led by Li Yunze had already rushed into the formation from the flanks, the Aries tribe's army was in chaos. No matter how the leaders and nobles yelled and scolded, they inevitably began to flee.
Sublu sighed deeply, ordered the guards around him to blow the trumpets, then turned his horse's head and fled straight away.
The dull horn sound sounded, which was the call to retreat.
And on such a chaotic battlefield, how many people will be able to escape in the end can only depend on fate.
The defeat of the Aries tribe greatly boosted the morale of the Han army in the midst of a bitter battle. They kept moving forward to pursue and kill the defeated troops to gain military exploits.
If the situation on the battlefield were to change at this time, and Li Yunze had the advantage of the cavalry, then he could guarantee that at least nine out of ten people from the Aries tribe would have to stay.
It's a pity that he has too few cavalry.
"Bang the drum." Seeing the Aries tribe's defeat, Li Yunze immediately ordered, "Hold their infantry. As for the cavalry, just hold back as many as you can."
The enemy army has been defeated, and Li Yunze has also put down the hammer in his hand. There is no need for him to take the lead in the subsequent battle.
The sergeants happily pursued him, and every head meant high rewards and military exploits.
Li Yunze raised his head and glanced at the sky. He calculated in his mind that it took more than an hour from the moment he contacted the enemy to now.
One afternoon's main battle determines the fate of a country, that's about it.
Although this battle could not determine the fate of the Han and the Xiongnu, it could at least determine the fate of Dingxiang County.
The main force of the Aries tribe was defeated. Although many cavalry escaped, it would take at least several days to gather the men.
By that time, Li Yunze had already broken through the old camp of the Baiyang Tribe under Chengle City, and the crisis in the entire Dingxiang County was naturally lifted.
Li Yunze, who had dropped his visor, took a deep breath of the air that smelled of blood. He was already planning in his mind how to seize Cheng Bushi's military power and assemble the troops from Dingxiang County to attack and besiege Yunzhong County from the flanks.
The Xiongnu Great Chanyu headquarters.
However, at this time in the distant Shangjun, a large convoy had already driven out of the border wall and headed towards the Huns' camp on the opposite side.
On the most luxurious carriage, the window was pushed open, and a young woman poked her head out, looking affectionately at the Great Wall behind her.
That was her hometown, and she was about to be married off to the Huns for marriage.
This separation is for a lifetime!
"Your Majesty."
Zhao Yan, his face flushed, ran over quickly and saluted, "It's been calculated."
Li Yunze, who was sitting on the horse roasting the leg of lamb, simply asked, "Speak."
"yes."
"This battle formation killed 7,419 Huns and captured more than 5,500 people..."
Normally, the number of soldiers lost after a big battle is much higher than those killed on the spot.
Because there are many heads that cannot be collected into statistics, many wounded soldiers will die one after another in the future, many people are missing, etc.
As for the number of prisoners, there is no precise number because many of the prisoners were lightly wounded...the seriously wounded were killed when the battlefield was being cleaned.
However, in this era of low medical capabilities, even lightly injured patients are likely to die from wound infection, so we can only collect general statistics.
In other words, the loss of the Aries tribe in this battle has been confirmed, reaching 13,000 people, which is already close to half of its total strength.
Counting those whose bodies were unable to be collected, those who died of infection, those who disappeared and never returned, etc., the Aries Tribe lost at least fifteen thousand people in this battle.
The Aries tribe had their spines broken in one battle.
"Write a letter immediately and send the victory document to Zhongshan Kingdom immediately." Li Yunze instructed, "Let Zhang Ou forward it to Chang'an City."
"Here~~~"
At this time, there was joy and laughter in the military camp, and the sergeants gathered around the fire, happily eating horse meat (horses killed in battle, horses that were injured and hopelessly injured) and drinking a small amount of wine.
If you win a battle, your morale will be high.
Of course there is no need to say much about the rewards for military exploits, but they have to wait until the imperial court distributes them.
It is conceivable that after achieving such a brilliant victory, under the circumstances where the Huns invaded in large numbers, they would definitely receive extremely generous rewards.
It's not that Li Yunze can't pay for these rewards, but if he does, the court will really treat him as a rebel.
"Only weapons and names cannot be faked. It is the responsibility of the king."
After moving the weapon and changing the name, let alone the King of Zhongshan, not even the Prince.
In Li Yunze's mind, he was also summarizing the war.
"The strength of the cavalry must be strengthened. If there are enough cavalry today, so many of the Aries tribe will not be able to escape..."
"Your Majesty."
"Congratulations, king..."
"Your majesty is so majestic. A great victory in this battle will surely make the emperor happy..."
Hanbok Chen Xin and others came forward cheerfully, saying congratulations.
As important participants, they will definitely receive generous rewards after this battle. Their feelings at this time are truly sincere.
"The war is not over yet."
Li Yunze calmly asked, "Each ministry will send the wounded and prisoners back to Wujin. The prisoners will be guarded together with the old and weak herdsmen from before. Wait for each ministry to allocate 300 people, and then select a thousand wives to be responsible for escorting and guarding."
"Early tomorrow morning, the entire army will be dispatched, using the vehicle formation as cover, to march straight outside Chengle City!"
