Seeing the 80,000 Mohur Donghu cavalry that separated like a tide from the Longxi Army, and the 50,000 Longxi Army cavalry that charged together, Xin Sheng first had doubts about the probability in his mind, and then ordered the entire army to abandon the attack and speed up the passage.
This defensive line of nearly 100,000 Huns cavalry was able to rush to the direction of the fighting infantry of the Nine Plains Army in the shortest possible time to help.
From this distance, Xin Sheng could clearly see the tens of thousands of infantrymen of the original army rushing left and right in the dense Hun cavalry formation, as well as the 100,000 Hun cavalry of Morton's own formation, who were quickly rushing to their aid.
Although it is not clear why the Huns cavalry in front of them, who were obviously coming to stop the 50,000 Longxi Army and were twice as many as their own soldiers, suddenly took over and blocked the formation for a moment, then gave way directly to the road, but so
How could Xin Sheng miss this great opportunity?
As long as he approached the infantry of the Jiuyuan Army, Xin Sheng was not worried even if these Hun cavalry wanted to pursue and form an encirclement again with the Hun cavalry who besieged tens of thousands of infantry of the Jiuyuan Army.
General Meng Tian was personally leading the reinforcements from Xianyang to rush for help. This was Xin Sheng's confidence.
It is true that the Jiuyuan Army is elite. However, Xin Sheng, who has served as Meng Tian's deputy in the Jiuyuan Army for nearly ten years, is very clear about the difference between the Jiuyuan Army with General Meng Tian and the Jiuyuan Army without Meng Tian.
If the current Jiuyuan Army is a wolf, then as long as General Meng Tian's flag arrives, then the more than 100,000 Jiuyuan Army fighting alone will become tigers in an instant. No one knows Meng Tian better than Xin Sheng and the soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army
It is of great significance to the entire Jiuyuan Army of 300,000 Qin troops.
Thinking about it, this is also the reason why in the original history, after the death of General Meng Tian, 300,000 of the most elite Nine Plains Army of Qin Dynasty disappeared silently in Da Qin.
Although Morton mobilized the 100,000 Hun cavalry of his own formation to dispatch to help the 200,000 Donghu cavalry who had been attacking the tens of thousands of Jiuyuan Army infantry for a long time, most of his attention was focused on blocking the Longxi Army that was rushing to help.
Mohur's more than 80,000 Donghu cavalrymen were killed.
Morton knew one thing very well, that is, as long as his 100,000 Donghu cavalry joined the battlefield, the tens of thousands of Qin soldiers who were still alive and fighting left and right in front of him would be destroyed sooner or later.
Even if the 40,000 Huns cavalry in Xubu Baye were defeated by the attack of the Jiuyuan Army cavalry, it was only a matter of time. But it was not a matter of time. There is no doubt that the Jiuyuan Army cavalry defeated the same number of Huns cavalry, but it also required
time.
What really determines whether Morton's battle can completely wipe out the nearly 100,000 infantrymen of the Nine Plains Army in this wilderness is whether Mohuer's 80,000-odd Donghu cavalry can stop them from rushing to help.
The Qin reinforcements.
As long as Mohuer can hold off the rushing Qin cavalry for half an hour, Moton will be sure to cripple or even completely annihilate the infantry of the Jiuyuan Army who are trapped in the siege. He will kill tens of thousands of Qin people in Jiuyuan.
This was something that had never happened before in the entire history of the Xiongnu clan. It was no less significant to the entire Xiongnu than Morton's defeat of the Yueshi and Donghu.
After all, the ambitious Morton had never paid much attention to the Yuezhi and Donghu who were lying beside the Xiongnu.
However, in less than a quarter of an hour, the tens of thousands of Qin cavalry who rushed to the rescue have completely broken through the defense line of more than 80,000 Donghu cavalry and rushed towards them. And it seems that there has not even been a fight. Even Morton is a pig.
. He also knew that he had been tricked by Mohuer, who had always seemed to surrender and always wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of him.
If Mohuer hadn't deliberately released the water or directly opened the road, even if the Qin cavalry was more elite and more powerful than the Jiuyuan Army, they would still want to break through the defense line of more than 80,000 people under Mohuer's command and win.
It won't be easy to win.
Looking at the group of Donghu cavalry that was acting noisily behind the Qin cavalry, Moton's eyes were splitting.
He has never hated a person or a clan as much as he does now, and he has never regretted it as much as he does now. But regret seems to be useless at this moment.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The desolate and long horn sound instantly resounded throughout the world. This time the horn sound seemed to be particularly long and loud.
The 100,000 Xiongnu cavalry who were about to catch up with the infantry rear formation of the Nine Yuan Army followed the sound of the horn and drew a long half arc, grazing the infantry rear formation of the Nine Yuan Army and began to retreat. Along the way, they blocked the retreat of the Huns cavalry.
The Donghu cavalry on the way were cut down by the Xiongnu cavalry without hesitation.
The soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army rushed left and right in the Donghu cavalry formation. Under the encirclement of the Donghu cavalry who reacted, the scope of movement has been increasingly reduced, and there is a tendency to be compressed to a corner.
It can be said that the Huns cavalry helped the infantry of the Jiuyuan Army a lot. Because of the Huns' actions, the Donghu cavalry, which had gradually stabilized their position, became confused again. They fought to avoid the Huns cavalry who turned around and wanted to retreat. Donghu cavalry
As a result, the cavalry fell into a situation where they were attacking from both front and back.
The entire battlefield suddenly turned into a mess. However, the infantry of the Jiuyuan Army were at ease.
If any uninformed person saw the situation on the battlefield, they would definitely think that the 100,000 Huns cavalry were helping the Jiuyuan soldiers to kill another wave of Donghu cavalry, which had the largest number.
The Huns cavalry who tried their best to resist the killing of Li Gang's 49,000 original army cavalry heard the horn sound coming from Morton's formation, and instantly left the battlefield, beating their horses desperately and gathering towards Morton's position.
With.
But now the Jiuyuan Army cavalry and the Huns cavalry are fighting together, and they are so intertwined that no one can leave as they please. What's more, the head of the general Xu Bu Ba Ye is now in the hands of the ignorant, and the Hun cavalry has lost its command.
The only thing I can think of, the only thing I can do is to turn the horse's head and beat the horse with the whip as hard as possible, and escape!
Although I don’t know why the great Chanyu Morton suddenly blew the trumpet to withdraw his troops, no one dared to disobey it. There have been too many bloody examples of the whistle blowing in the past.
Disobeying the orders of the great Chanyu Morton was almost equivalent to a death sentence for the whole family.
The Hun cavalry, which had no fighting spirit, wanted to run away. Naturally, the elite cavalry of the Jiuyuan Army would not miss the opportunity to beat the drowned dog. In a short distance of only a few hundred steps, the number of Hun cavalry who were killed was already far away.
It exceeded the results obtained by the two armies in the brutal battle for nearly half an hour.
In the end, there were less than 20,000 Hun cavalry who had been completely killed by the Nine Yuan Army cavalry. They finally got rid of the pursuit of the Nine Yuan Army cavalry and ran desperately towards the Morton Wolf Flag. This was Li Gang's initiative.
They gave up the pursuit and turned around to support the infantry of the Jiuyuan Army who were still fighting left and right in the Donghu cavalry formation.
Only a moment after the 120,000 Huns cavalry gathered and returned to their positions, Morton Wolf Banner began to move, speeding up and retreating away from the battlefield towards the direction of Yunzhong. They did not care about the life or death of any Donghu cavalry at all, and seemed to have given up on the three Mohuer cavalry.
One hundred thousand Donghu cavalry.
Mohuer, who was following the Longxi Army, saw the Hun cavalry that had been approaching the battlefield retreat from a long distance, then gathered under Morton's wolf flag and quickly left the battlefield.
Looking at the remaining more than 100,000 Donghu cavalry who were about to be flanked by two groups of Qin cavalry and dragged on the battlefield by the infantry of the Nine Plains Army, a trace of struggle flashed in Mohuer's eyes.
From the different choices of the Qin cavalry who rushed to the rescue, and the pretentious order to resist for a while, the Qin reinforcements successfully penetrated the defense line of his more than 80,000 troops. Mohu'er had already prepared for the worst.
However, even so, he still took some luck in his heart, betting on whether Morton would be willing to give up the great fruit he was about to get, which was to completely annihilate the Qin infantry who were trapped in the encirclement.
As long as Morton hesitates for a moment, the Hun cavalry will begin to join the formation with the Jiuyuan Army infantry. Once the formation takes place, the Hun cavalry, Donghu cavalry, and Jiuyuan Army infantry will be killed together. If any party wants to leave the battlefield, it will
It's not that easy.
After all, a battle to kill hundreds of thousands of people is not just a fight between one or two people. If you say you don't want to fight, you can stop fighting. You can stop if you want to.
If that's the case, Mohu'er would have gained huge rewards by giving up the Donghu people who still had more than 100,000 people. If the elite Xiongnu under Morton fought against the Qin people, even if they could win, both sides would suffer.
.If Qin reinforcements arrive, Morton may even die in the Qin territory. This can be said to be the best outcome for Mohuer.
However, Morton is a hero after all.
Morton, who had been staring at Mohu'er, was so angry that he wanted to eat Mohu'er's flesh, drink Mohu'er's blood, and kill all the Donghu people. But after discovering that Mohu'er was acting secretly, he didn't.
Anyone who hesitates will be ordered to withdraw immediately.
There is no need to worry about having no firewood to keep the green hills. Although Morton did not know this sentence, he understood the three meanings deeply.
Morton knew very well that the biggest mistake he made during this trip south was not finding an opportunity to kill Mohuer on the way. Without Mohuer, the Donghu people had only one ending, and that was to pretend to be Morton's compatriots when he went south.
The cannon fodder used by the Qin people to fight was consumed.
Morton saw Mohuer's plan clearly in a moment and made the most correct reaction.
As long as Morton can leave today, as long as Morton can return to Langjuxu Mountain safely, with Morton's methods, Mo Huer will shudder just thinking about the fate of the Donghu people.
Now, the problem has not fallen to Morton, but to Mohuer.
He faced an extremely difficult choice. This choice not only related to the remaining more than 100,000 Donghu cavalry who had been trapped in the battlefield, but also related to the hundreds of thousands of Donghu old and weak women and children who had been placed by the Huns around Langjuxu Mountain. Of course, the same
And his own wealth and life.
Abandoning the more than 100,000 Donghu cavalry, Mohuer could immediately return to the prairie along the south road, and then lead more than 80,000 Donghu warriors directly to the Langjuxu Mountain. But facing the two troops who stayed around the Langjuxu Mountain,
Can his more than 80,000 Donghu cavalry resist the more than 100,000 Huns cavalry? The answer is definitely no. What's more, Morton's messenger may arrive before him.
Of course, there is another option, that is, surrender to the Qin people and turn around to kill the Huns.
However, will the Qin people help him rescue the Donghu people? Can the Qin people keep Moton's 200,000 Huns cavalry? Mohu'er is also unsure. (To be continued...)
