Chapter 376 The Battle of Zhai Sangbo (2)
Weather in the Northwest.
The temperature difference between day and night is huge, and the sun is shining at noon, making people feel less cold. When dusk comes, the north whistles across the flat lakeside wasteland in this area, which immediately makes people feel unbearable.
Extremely cold snow.
At first it was covered by massed blood from the bodies of the dead and injured soldiers. When the heat was felt, the ice and snow melted, but now it was frozen again in the severe cold.
Blood ice.
Connect the dead body and the earth tightly together.
The war continued. The cavalry chasing each other gradually became red in their eyes. The cavalry who were still guarding the command of the generals at the beginning could no longer find their own flag in the dim sky light at dusk. They could only rely on their feelings to mechanically chase every enemy they saw nearby. Once they were caught and injured, they could only wail and ask their companions to stab themselves to end their painful lives.
From the overall situation of the battlefield, the Huns had the upper hand, and the Aries Tribe Alliance was gradually out of support. Nearly half of the affiliated tribes began to flee from the battlefield and tried to preserve their strength. Their retreat forced Jin Xi to draw more reserve troops from the Guifang headquarters to join the battle group.
Add oil, time and time again.
For the Guifang tribe, which is not very strong, if such fierce battles last until dawn, most of the males in their Guifang tribe will die in this battle.
On the frozen lake in Zhaisangbo, the Aries tribes and the bodies of the Huns piled up, like hard ice bricks. The escaped Aries ran around and were finally forced into the smooth ice by the Huns' light cavalry.
There is no escape.
Maudun, who is determined to teach the Aries a profound lesson, did not let go of a way of life as before, and then play with cats and mice until they die.
This time, in front of the woman Jin Xi, he wanted to tell this woman in the cruelest and most cruel way that he was the king of the grassland.
However, on the battlefield, it was not entirely the Huns who were in power. On the left side of the Jinxi Central Army, Bai Guangji's Hexi Qiang suffered a lot. It was precisely because of their power that the Jinxi Central Army could still maintain an unchanging formation.
After half a day of fighting, Bai Guangji lost more than 300 general soldiers. The difference from the chaos and melee was that the Hexi Qiang was tightly bitten by several Xiongnu teams from the beginning.
Kill the generals and seize the flag.
In the furious situation of Maodun, the Hexi Qiang had become a thorn in the eyes of the Huns and a thorn in the flesh. This army with a combat method similar to that of the Qin army made the Huns feel powerful oppressive force. Although their number was only more than a thousand, every time they fought, they rushed to the opponents who seemed to be more numerous than their own side in a group manner without fear, but the result was often the fierce Huns dispersed first.
"How come these Qiang people are so afraid of death-!" When the Hun soldiers full of confidence lie on the horse and are defeated like flying, they only have this doubt in their hearts.
Everyone is afraid of death.
People who are not afraid of death do not exist in this world at all.
Some people show bravery and tenaciousness. In fact, they are just more afraid of death than others.
This is what Maodun said to the 20,000 Hun soldiers during his mobilization. These arousing words once made the Hun soldiers excited. This is also their willingness to follow Maodun's long-distance expedition. As long as they can destroy the Aries tribe, their tribe can quickly get the urgently needed people, supplies, cattle and sheep, and they themselves will have a higher status in the tribe, with more women and wealth.
However, the confidence of the Hun soldiers was shattered when they met the Hexi Qiang. The soldiers of the Hexi Qiang were like parts on complete machines. They charged, ran, and fought with collective strength. One soldier stabbed out and the other soldier would fill the gap. This left the Hun warriors with spare energy, but they could only vain the attacks of the Hexi Qiang in vain.
They also wanted to ask their companions for help, but due to their lack of cooperation and the advantage of the number of people in the short term, how about it?
——.
The face of the hair was as deep as water.
In addition to the stalemate of the battle, he felt a little unhappy, the coldness of the weather exceeded his imagination. This abnormal situation of falling more than ten degrees suddenly seemed to be like the situation before the storm came.
A big storm.
It is the kind of radius of hundreds of miles. When the strong wind blows, it can roll up a whole camel. Once a person and a horse are involved, it may directly roll up tens of thousands of skyscrapers. When the person falls to the ground, it will basically be a pool of meat paste.
"Send the order to attack the central army of the Aries Ghost Tribe. Whenever the Witch King is captured, he will be given a thousand commanders." Maodun's voice had a little unquestionable meaning.
Thousands of men.
It is a general who commands a thousand troops, which means that you may jump from an ordinary soldier to the leader of a small tribe, thus living a luxurious life of having enough food and clothing, and having someone to serve during the day and have women to sleep with at night. What’s more important is that this thousand-man commander was personally given by the Great Shanyu Maodun, and no one dared to threaten him at the risk of offending Maodun. On the contrary, those snobbish villains will come over and please the popular man in front of Maodun in every way.
The Huns howled and turned.
He began to give up entanglement with the enemy opposite and instead rushed towards the central army of the Aries tribe. This battlefield change shocked Wu Wang Jinxi and Gui Fang and his elders.
The Huns concentrated their efforts to strike a little, but most of the tribal soldiers of the Aries tribe did not chase or entangle the enemy in front of them. The exhausted tribes began to give up fighting, either dismounted or slowly withdrew from the battlefield. In this way, more than 2,000 personal troops from the Aries Ghost Side were directly exposed to the Huns.
"Witch King, what should we do? Why don't we retreat first." An elder looked at the Hun cavalry coming in panic and shouted loudly.
"This day is about to change." Jin Xi took a long breath, looked up at the clouds in the dim sky, and said, "Order all departments to support for another period of time, and a great storm is coming."
Proficient in witchcraft.
It means being able to communicate with the gods in the sky. This communication technique actually includes the prediction of weather and climate change. The changes that Maodun can detect are not behind. People from the Aries tribe are much more familiar with the situation in the Zhaisangbo area than the Huns. Jin Xi is determined to rely on the changes in the sky to fight against the Huns.
In the face of natural disasters.
No one can think of getting it well.
This is God's punishment. If God comes to which side he comes, let God decide.
——.
The process of the Battle of Zhaisangbo reached a white-hot stage when the last ray of colorful clouds in the horizon fell.
The sharp cavalry of the Huns swept across the Aries Central Army in succession. The Guifang cavalry around Jinxi lost more than a thousand people, and the remaining soldiers were panicked and had no fighting spirit. At this time, fortunately, Bai Guangji, who was on the flank, found something wrong and led his troops to approach Jinxi, so that he could barely stabilize the formation.
7:00 p.m.
No matter how fast the horsepower is, it sometimes cannot exceed the speed of the wind.
When the storm mixed with frozen snow fell like a storm, the battle between the Huns and the Aries had to stop. Maodun had no choice but to order a place to find a leeward. Various Hun cavalry dismounted and dug the frozen soil, trying to find a place to hide.
Some of them could not chew on the frozen soil, so they simply found a few corpses connecting the ground to cover them, and then crawled down to hide. As for whether they could escape this storm, they could only leave it to fate.
Of course, Maodun, the great chanyu, was not so embarrassed. His personal soldiers had already found their residence and used large giant trees to build the dome. The Hun generals also hid in the tent according to the reasons for the matter. In this kind of skin-filled tent that was tied tightly everywhere, the wind outside could be roasted on the fire inside and drink a sip of hot milk tea.
"The Great Chanyu, the Aries have dispersed. When the strong wind stops, we looted their base and captured their cattle and sheep. This winter, the Aries will not be able to survive."
"The Great Shanyu, the Hexi Qiang tribe that looked so much like the Qin people was just around the Aries Central Army. They are not kind people. Should we guard against them from fleeing south first?!"
The Huns were talking and talking, and today's fierce battle with the Aries tribe made these Hun warriors very shocked while being happy.
It was delighted that the cohesion of the Aries tribe no longer existed. Those fleeing tribes could no longer have the courage to turn around and resist in the face of natural disasters and strong enemies. Therefore, in the subsequent war, the possibility of the Hun cavalry encountering a major war was very small. What was shocked was that in today's battle, the decisive blow of the Aries tribe made the Xiongnu army pay the price of nearly 4,000 casualties. Such losses were no less than a defeat for Maodun's carefully trained personal army.
Among the Aries tribe's armies, Bai Guangji's Hexi Qiang undoubtedly left a deep impression on the Hun generals. They may not remember which general in this army was the best, but they clearly recorded this strict discipline and fighting like a mechanical stone beast army.
The storm lasted all night.
The next morning, after covering his head for a night, the Huns finally waited for the time when the clouds opened their eyes. The terrain and landforms of the Zhaisangbo area had changed their appearance under the influence of natural winds over the night.
"Da Shanyu, what do you think that is?" A Qianchang of Hun raised his head and couldn't help but scream.
In front, a slightly higher mound near the lake was built, and these corpses were all blown by the strong wind and then piled up here by an invisible big hand. Layers, whether from the Huns or the Aries, were leaning against each other without distinction. Their faces were close to each other, and their chests were close to their chests, as if they were telling something intimately.
