Chapter 373: The Defeat of the Hu People
Huyan Lin knew that he could not allow Hua Xiong to wreak havoc in the camp, so he quickly assembled a cavalry team and fearlessly charged towards Fei Xiong.
The next moment, the two cavalrymen collided with each other. Unfortunately, even with the help of the cloud gas, the situation could not be changed. Almost at the first encounter, the cavalrymen on the Xianbei side were knocked away by the flying bear. The Xianbei people, who were only wearing leather armor, fell to the ground and were trampled into meat paste.
However, Feixiong, who was attacked by the Xianbei cavalry, did not shake at all. Only a few people were knocked off their horses, and the advantages of stirrups, saddles, iron armor and thick leather were fully utilized.
Huyan Lin looked at Hua Xiong with bloodshot eyes. He knew as soon as he started fighting that he would get no advantage today. Although the general on the opposite side was a weakling, he managed to suppress him with the power of his military soul.
After the charge, Huyan Lin clearly felt the pain in his body. The gravity suppression exerted on him by several Flying Bear soldiers caused every part of his body to suffer a heavy blow. However, it was not fatal, as his body with internal energy out of the body could withstand it.
Under the clouds, the power of the internal energy leaving the body was compressed too much, and several Flying Bear soldiers joining forces were enough to hurt him.
What was more crucial was that the cavalry team he had just organized had been completely dispersed, with nearly two-thirds of its troops destroyed, while the enemy's formation suffered almost no losses.
As expected, no matter how calm the light cavalry and heavy cavalry are in a head-on confrontation, the only way out is death. As expected, in a head-on confrontation, except for illegal things like chariots, there is probably no other type of troops that can collide with heavy cavalry.
However, Huyan Lin sneered. The sacrifice was huge, not just the casualties of the Xianbei Hu people.
Even he had several huge wounds on his body, all of which were caused by the Flying Bear soldiers during the head-on confrontation.
But the result was obvious. Feixiong's speed finally slowed down. When the cavalry lost its speed, its power was greatly reduced.
Think about the heavy cavalry corps that was beaten by him. It was obviously a heavy cavalry corps, but it was able to charge without starting. It was simply unreasonable.
But since Fei Xiong has slowed down, it is his turn to perform next. In his mind, even if all these Hu people are defeated, it will be worth it as long as Fei Xiong can be killed.
Anyway, they are not members of the Northern Huns, so if they die, they die. When the time comes, we can accept the families of these Hu people and replenish the population at the same time. Why not do it?
…
On the other side, Ju Yi and Gongsun Xu, who were still looking for an opportunity, were awakened. They wandered outside Changping for a long time but could not find any opportunity to enter the city.
Even though Gongsun Xu was anxious, he still had basic war qualities and was not overwhelmed by anxiety. He relied on his mobility every day to help Ju Yi cover his whereabouts.
"What happened?" Ju Yi looked at Gongsun Xu in confusion. Such a big commotion was not something that an ordinary person could cause.
"It seems to be the Xiliang Iron Cavalry?" The old soldier who came back from the reconnaissance had a strange look on his face. He still remembered the Iron Turtle that they could not defeat at all. That was one of the few troops they did not want to see again. Its defense was so thick that it made people feel sick.
"Let's go, let's go. Maybe we can defeat the Xianbei today!" Ju Yi was overjoyed. The first person they landed on was, of course, a mature meat shield. As a former member of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, how could he not understand the positioning of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
Gongsun Xu was a little confused, but he didn't say it out loud. As the opponent his father had always talked about, Ju Yi naturally had his own way of judging. Anyway, they came and went on white horses like the wind, so it would be a good idea for him to go over and join in the fun.
When Bai Ma arrived with the vanguard, all the vanguard soldiers showed extreme discomfort, but Ju Yi did not care about anything else and directly burned the power of the military soul to restore the vanguard soldiers to health.
When he arrived at the scene and saw the cavalry going straight up and down, he immediately realized that this was Fei Xiong, the ceiling of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
"Three-stage shot, ready!"
Without saying anything, Ju Yi ordered the vanguard to start preparing to shoot. As for Fei Xiong who was fighting with the Xianbei Hu people, he was not worried at all.
Things like the Cloud Arrow are okay for hitting white horses and Hu people, but they are just a tickle when hitting the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, not to mention the Flying Bear, the ceiling of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~”
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~”
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~”
Three clearly spaced rains of arrows fell on the Xianbei camp. Hua Xiong took a glance and found that they were the first to arrive. He immediately understood what he should do. Contrary to his previous defensive counterattack, he took Feixiong and bit the surrounding cavalry tightly.
Huyan Lin lay on his horse in a panic, looking in the direction of the vanguard with lingering fear. Just now, several arrows had flown past his scalp. This continuous rain of arrows gave him a bad premonition.
After the Northern Huns' warriors led several teams of cavalry and rushed towards the vanguard, and were then carried away by a bloody torrent from the vanguard, Huyan Lin's face turned completely black.
"Two military souls!" Huyan Lin gritted his teeth with great resentment. This reminded him of the only remaining military soul of their Northern Huns. If Huo Qubing had not destroyed the will of the empire back then, he should also have a military soul with him now.
"Retreat!" After the vanguard began to suppress him with cloud and rain of arrows again, Huyan Lin yelled and ran away. He was a noble of the Northern Huns, how could he really bring a bunch of trash Hu people to fight to the death with two military soul legions in such a place.
This time, he was attacked directly. He would have to wait for him to withdraw and regroup, and then he would consume two more military souls. If he continued to fight like this today, he would die here.
He had no confidence that he could survive under the hands of the archer soul on the opposite side. He had to run away quickly before the archer soul recognized his identity.
Besides, his intention in being sent by Alati to command the Xianbei was not to fight to the death with the Han Dynasty, but to use the Xianbei to test and harass the Han Dynasty. It was not a good choice to sacrifice his life for this.
Upon hearing Huyan Lin's roar, the Northern Huns turned around and ran away without any hesitation. The Xianbei people under their command didn't understand why, but they also followed the warrior they believed in and ran away.
Under Hua Xiong's incredulous eyes, the Xianbei camp fell into chaos. Having lost Huyan Lin's legionary talent and command, the Hu army instantly fell into complete chaos.
But in this chaos, all the Xianbei were able to hold together tightly, and did not split into small groups and fight each other like the defeated troops.
This left Hua Xiong completely puzzled. Even when they were about to undermine the Qiang royal court, the Qiang people, who had lost their commander and backbone, dispersed. However, these Hu people who acted as invaders did not collapse at all. Instead, they held together tightly.
In fact, what made these Hu people behave so abnormally was, of course, the white horses that arrived at the battlefield first.
The moment all the Hu people saw the white cavalry, they instinctively began to huddle together, because all the Hu people on the grassland knew that it was impossible for them to outrun the white terror, and only by sticking together tightly would they have a chance of survival.
Gongsun Xu stood on the slope and felt helpless as he looked at the defeated but not chaotic Hu people. He knew this situation would happen and that was why he did not show up. However, the white color was too eye-catching under the moonlight and the Hu people could see it clearly.
He could only wait impatiently for this opportunity. He didn't believe that these Hu people could maintain this state forever. As long as these Hu people dispersed, it would be time for them to start slaughtering.
Hua Xiong ignored the Hu people who were retreating in a group and turned his guns towards other camps. They attacked the main camp of the central army, but there were countless Hu people waiting for them on both sides.
With the cooperation of Hua Xiong and Ju Yi, the entire Hu army was defeated. After the Flying Bear Chariots flew over one camp after another, the command system of the Xianbei Hu army completely collapsed. Especially after Huyan Lin sent out the Northern Huns' unique retreat signal, the Northern Huns who had infiltrated the army withdrew directly.
Although the remaining Xianbei Hu people had a huge military advantage, they were nothing but lambs to be slaughtered in a situation where the soldiers did not know their generals and the generals did not care about their soldiers.
On the other side, Gongsun Zan in Changping looked at the chaotic Hu army, confused and not knowing what was happening in the Hu army. For a moment, he was unsure whether to take advantage of the situation to attack.
"General, General, look, that's a white horse!" Guan Jing was sharp-eyed and saw the white cavalry in the chaos. Thanks to Gongsun Zan's obsessive-compulsive disorder, all the white horses on the grassland near Youzhou were in Gongsun Zan's hands.
Even if there are some fish that slip through the net, it is impossible for them to be on such a large scale.
"Send out troops, send out troops. Tian Kai, you guard the city to prevent the Hu people from taking advantage of the chaos to attack the city. The rest of you, all follow me!" Gongsun Zan made a prompt decision, although he didn't know which unit was wreaking havoc in the Hu army.
However, Gongsun Zan also guessed that there were only a few cavalrymen like this in history, either the Xiliang Iron Cavalry or the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. When combined with the information that Ju Yi was moving towards Changping, he probably guessed what was going on.
But out of caution, he let Tian Kai, who was best at defending the city, stay behind, and the others followed him out of the city to meet the enemy.
By the time Gongsun Zan, Hua Xiong and others reunited, the Xianbei army had completely collapsed and the entire Changping city was in chaos.
Until the sun rose, this group of Hu people fled desperately to the north under the guidance of the sun. As many as three or four hundred thousand Xianbei Hu soldiers retreated to the north.
As for the remaining Hu people, some of them had already fallen under the city of Changping, and more of them surrendered on the spot, especially after Gongsun Zan shouted that sentence.
"I am the White Horse General Gongsun Zan. Those who surrender will not be killed!"
All the Hu people who heard Gongsun Zan's voice and saw the white horse surrendered without any intention of resisting.
To be honest, if Gongsun Zan had some magical secret technique that could make the entire battlefield hear his voice, perhaps the 300,000 or 400,000 Hu people who escaped would have surrendered directly.
