Chapter 15 False Military Orders

When he climbed the mound, three thousand cavalry had already formed a charge formation. At this moment, from the perspective of the mound, he could clearly see the Hun cavalry in the distance. Huo Guang looked around and saw at least eight thousand Hun cavalry in the distance!

The eight thousand Mercedes-Benz cavalry ran on the vast grassland with great momentum. Although they had the advantage of being condescending, Huo Guang was still nervous and really felt the feeling of raising his heart to his throat. However, seeing the three thousand Han cavalrymen in his body seemed to be unable to see any panic and nervousness from these people's faces, but instead gave Huo Guang a feeling of calm. This feeling invisibly made Huo Guang feel a little relieved.

"After all, they are elite troops of the Han Dynasty, and the army of hundreds of battles. This calmness is beyond the ordinary army!" Huo Guang sighed in his heart, and quickly thought about how to make these three thousand cavalry defeat the eight thousand Hun cavalry, or delay the time as long as possible.

The formation of the Hun cavalry was not rigorous, not like the cavalry team with strict formations on TV, but like a group of horses running wildly. However, although there was no formation, the speed of the Hun cavalry was indeed fast enough. In just two or three minutes, the Hun cavalry, who were originally more than ten miles away, had already run several miles away, and was only three or four miles away from the Han army's position.

"General, the Huns are about to rush up." Fu Lu Branch did not order an attack for the time being, so the Han army only watched the Huns get closer, but no one rushed down the hillside.

"Wait a minute, wait until the Huns approach the hillside, our army is rushing down." Fu Luzhi stared at the Hun cavalry in front of him. Huo Guang just reminded him to occupy the high ground, and Fu Luzhi quickly realized the benefits. If the two armies confronted head-on in cavalry operations, then the competition was naturally the impact speed of the war horses and the strength of the soldiers. Now the Han army has the advantage of this small gentle slope, and the impact speed from top to bottom will be one point more than the Hun cavalry, and the force will also increase under the corresponding inertia. The reason why Fu Luzhi waited for the Hun cavalry to start attacking the gentle slope was to take advantage of the upward impact of the Huns to slow down the speed. In this way, the Han army will have one point more advantage.

"You guys stay and protect Huo, and the others rushed down with me." Seeing that the Hun cavalry had approached the Han army, Fu Luzhi drew out his long sword and shouted, and he rushed towards the Hun cavalry with the Han army.

The few personal soldiers left by Fu Luzhi did not follow the army to fight, and there were only five or six people beside Huo Guang at this moment. However, Huo Guang did not pay much attention to his own comfort, because the Han army at the gentle slope had officially confronted the Hun cavalry.

Chaos, bloody, and tragic. The two armies confronted each other, which brought a shocking visual impact to Huo Guang. Huo Guang never thought that this would happen when he saw the battle on the battlefield. Just the moment the two armies contacted, a smell of blood quickly spread out. The neighing of horses and the fall of corpses and limbs made the battlefield extremely chaotic.

Horses kept running around and corpses fell from the horses, and even during the day Huo Guang saw sparks generated by the impact of countless weapons. Since the Han army chose a favorable terrain first, the Han army obviously had the advantage at the confrontation. With the advantage of speed, about a hundred people rushing in front of the Hun cavalry, almost nine floors were knocked down.

At this time, Huo Guang also discovered a problem, that is, the weapons of the Han army seemed to be much better than those of the Huns, because he saw with his own eyes that the big sword of a Han cavalry collided with the scimitar of the Huns, the weapons of the Huns were actually cut off.

"The weapons of the Han army are all excellent iron tools, and some of the Huns' army are bronze tools. The Han army has already gained an advantage in weapons, and the stirrups can save a lot of physical strength for the Han army. The number of Xiongnus is superior. Our army should not delay the time for too long. We should fight quickly and exert the advantages of the weapons and stirrups to instantly explode with powerful combat power." Although those bloody scenes made Huo Guang feel uncomfortable, he still did not forget to think about the situation of the battle and find a way to break the situation.

Of course, no matter how you think about it, it is not so easy to solve this problem immediately. The idea of ​​a quick battle is good, but the advantage of the number of Xiongnu cavalry cannot be changed. Moreover, in the current situation, it is even more impossible for the Lu branch of the three thousand Han troops to escape from the battle. If this will only let this Xiongnu cavalry join the main battlefield of Huo Qubing's legion, it will be a disaster for the Han army.

"Second Master, the situation is a bit bad. Although our army has an advantage at the beginning, there is no buffer zone now between the two armies. If this continues, our army will be wiped out." Lao Ba looked at the battlefield with some concern. In fact, he was also wondering whether it should protect Huo Guang and retreat to the main force of the Han army first. As for the three thousand cavalry of the Fulu branch, they can only leave the will. Besides, it is normal to have casualties in the war. It is worth the casualties of the three thousand people to provide the main force.

"In this case, how long can our army last?" Huo Guang's thoughts were endless. He thought about both the power of becoming famous and the plots in the novel, but unfortunately, there was no effective solution to the current dilemma.

"If it were before, it was besieged by the Huns several times our army, and the three thousand troops would last at most one stick of incense, but now with the help of stirrups, our army should be able to support half an hour." This time, it was not Lao Ba who spoke, but Lao Qi who rarely spoke. At this time, Huo Guang also noticed that in terms of individual combat, the Han army equipped with stirrups moved smoother on the horse's back than the Huns army, and its combat effectiveness was also much higher.

"Yes, the Han army has now equipped the stirrups, and the brother's main legion also has the power of stirrups, which means that the brother will end the battle faster than before." Huo Guang forgot that the Han army in the desert was a little different from the original history, and stirrups were undoubtedly the biggest change.

"If my brother is facing 60,000 to 70,000 Hun soldiers, how long will it take to end the battle according to the past situation?" Huo Guang was not worried that Huo Qubing would not win. He was only worried about time. Has the three thousand troops in the Lu branch encountered 8,000 Hun cavalry in history? Huo Guang did not know that if such an incident occurred because of his arrival, then it would be impossible for the three thousand troops to be wiped out.

Thinking of this, Huo Guang suddenly felt a chill coming from behind, because at this moment he realized that he had always had a wrong idea, that is, he became Huo Guang, and he would become the powerful minister in history no matter what, but he ignored a problem, that is, Huo Guang is no longer the same as the original one. Then Huo Guang would definitely not develop in accordance with history. Maybe any event that is different from the original historical trajectory may kill him, and he has more variables that are inconsistent with history.

"The army of six to seventy thousand Huns? With the ability of the marquis, there are 50,000 troops in his hands, and the battle should be over within one hour." Lao Qi was slightly stunned. He didn't understand why Huo Guang said that Huo Qubing was facing a army of six to seventy thousand Huns. You must know that they had never left Huo Guang for a moment. Since Huo Qubing's main army fought with the army of the Huns, he did not know the situation of the battle there, and he didn't know how many Huns there were. However, he still estimated it slightly and replied.

The reason why Huo Qubing was so sure of the number of Huo Qubing encountered was that it depends on Huo Guang's extra memory of later generations, because he remembered that the entire Zuo Xianwang had only about 100,000 troops to fight. Because he arranged three lines of defense, although the first line of defense was the army led by Zuo Xianwang, since it was dispersed at most, it was only 70,000 people. This is the basis for Huo Guang to affirm that Huo Qubing encountered the number of enemy troops.

"You guys go and pass the order immediately, saying that the Marquis will end the battle after one stick of incense, and let everyone hold on for a while. As long as the Marquis arrives, these Huns will be our military achievements. As long as they are held back, they will be a great achievement." Huo Guang turned around and looked at the horizon behind him. It was the place where Huo Qubing fought with Zuo Xianwang. At this moment, he actually wanted to let the few personal soldiers left by Fu Luzhi spread a news that did not exist at all.

Several personal soldiers from Fulu Branch looked at each other but did not immediately execute. In their opinion, Huo Guang was just a child, and the few of them had been by Huo Guang's side and had never heard of such news. They could not afford the blame for the false military order.

"Well? Why do you guys want to disobey?" Huo Guang felt a little angry when he saw that the few people did not listen to him. Although the few people were personal soldiers of Fu Lu Branch, his official position was higher than them. Although the soldiers at the bottom also knew about Huo Guang, they all thought that he was the younger brother of the champion Hou to be today.

"It seems that I am still too optimistic. Although my brother's reputation is big, it is not useful everywhere, especially his reputation is not right now." Huo Guang also knew where the problem lies. To put it bluntly, the position he was engaged in was only equivalent to an aide. Without the official imperial edict of the Han court, he had no right to command the army in a strict sense.

"This is the marquis' sword. If you want to disobey the military order, I will kill you immediately. Even the Fulu Branch will not be able to save you!" Huo Guang knew that he could not wait any longer now, so he could only pull out the sword from his waist and point at the few personal soldiers of the Fulu Branch.

"Get order!" As soon as Huo Guang pulled out his sword, and these people recognized that it was indeed Huo Qubing's sword. He had no choice but to take the order and quickly conveyed Huo Guang's words to the Han army that was fighting in a melee.

At this time, the Han army was fighting against the Hun soldiers. Someone suddenly shouted that there was no incense to the time, and the champion Hou Dajun arrived. These people would not consider the authenticity. At this moment of life and death, the news from Huo Guang undoubtedly brought hope of life to the three thousand Han army.
