The Han army soldiers were ecstatic. Want to see?

There were 20,000 Hun cavalry, including King Xiu Tu himself. The results of this battle were so rich that it was unimaginable. When I thought of this, every soldier was excited, and even his eyes were red. He screamed and wanted to cut off two pieces of knife when he saw anything.

The entire Han army fell into extremely excited emotions. Not only did Gongsun Rongnu and others beat drums and request battles one after another, Li Guang in the rear also repeatedly urged Liang Xiao to move away from the car formation as soon as possible so that the cavalry could attack.

Liang Xiao was also very uneasy, but not excited, but nervous.

The trapped beasts are still fighting. This is the elite cavalry of the Xiu Tu tribe, not ordinary Huns. Once they get up and fight against the Han army, even if the Han army has advantages in infantry battles, it will be a terrible victory. If there is a loophole, King Xiu Tu will run away, and there will be a heavy loss.

For Li Guang, if the casualties are too great, he may not be able to be granted the title of marquis. There are very strict regulations on military merits and titles for marquis. Not only must one ensure that a certain number of deaths and casualties are also ensured that the casualties cannot be too great. Otherwise, no matter how many deaths and deaths are, it will not be considered a military merit.

For the overall situation, if the casualties are too great, they will not have the energy to attack Henan. The emperor's strategic goals cannot be achieved and he will definitely not be in a good mood. Not only will Li Guang's wish to be a marquis become more vague, but his position in the emperor's mind will also be affected.

Liang Xiaoxun weighed the pros and cons, and ordered Gongsun Rongnu and three other lieutenants to strictly guard the position and not to act rashly, and then rushed to the front of the cavalry formation in person.

Li Guang sat upright on the back of the war horse, with an abnormal flush on his face. Seeing Liang Xiao, he shouted dissatisfiedly: "What the hell are you doing? If you don't command in front of the formation, why are you here to run? Defeat the attack of the Huns, I can fight back and chop off King Xiu Tu's dog head."

"General, don't be anxious." Liang Xiao jumped off the horse, walked to Li Guang's side, and reached out to grab the head of Li Guang's mount.

"How can you not be in a hurry?" Li Guang glared at Liang Xiao, and pointed to the knights behind him who were eager to try. "Ask them. Which one is not in a hurry?"

Jin Ji waved his sword and laughed: "That's not the case, Liang Junhou, we are all waiting for the order to attack. Many of them are killing the Huns."

Liang Xiao ignored him, approached Li Guang and whispered: "General, you always have to have an appetizer before the big meal. King Xiu Tu has been blocked here. Can you still run away? Otherwise, should you go to warm up first?"

Li Guang was puzzled: "Warm up?"

Liang Xiao turned his head to look at Gaolan Mountain in the north and picked up his chin. "General, do you think King Xiu Tu will kill him without the baggage?"

Before Li Guang could speak, Jin Ji slapped his thigh and shouted: "That's right, the Xiongnu's baggage is still behind, and it's just right to take it away."

Li Guang suddenly realized that King Xiu Tu was chasing him all the way, and his baggage troops were still behind. Logically speaking, they should have arrived in the past half day, but they have not appeared. There is only one possibility: they felt that they were not strong enough and ran away.

The 20,000 cavalrymen chewed horses, which is not a small amount. If this baggage could be taken away, it would be a surprise for the Han army that was about to go out to the frontier to fight, and it could greatly reduce the logistics pressure.

"Who is better to send?" Li Guang hesitated. Although it was very tempting to rob the Xiongnu baggage team, how could he be compared to King Xiu Tu? He could only hold the marquis firmly in his hands.

When Liang Xiao saw Li Guang's expression, he knew that he had been right. As the main general, Li Guang was restless like a young man, which was not a good thing. He was already full of passion. It was impossible to have the patience to get entangled with the Huns. If he let him stay here, he would probably attack at all costs.

"Who can complete such an important task besides the general?" Liang Xiao smiled and said, "I strongly recommend that the general attack himself."

"Me?" Li Guang's eyes shrank, and half of his eyebrows raised. He said with a smile: "Boy, I am the master, how can I leave the battlefield easily?"

Liang Xiao waved his hand quickly and told Li Guang not to think too much. "General, the Huns still have more than 10,000 cavalry, and these 4,000 infantrymen can kill King Xiu Tu? General, you think too much of me. General, the two sides are evenly matched, and it will definitely be a hard battle. It depends not only on who is more brave, but also on who persists for longer. Without enough supplies, we can't bear it for a few days."

Li Guang suddenly understood Liang Xiao's intention, and his face turned red with shame. He turned his horse's head and said loudly: "Okay, I'll leave it to you here. I'll come here. I'll take a look at King Xiu Tu. If he lets him run away, I can't spare you."

"General, don't worry, if the person is in the position, King Xiu Tu cannot escape."

Li Guang laughed loudly and drove away. The sound of war drums sounded, and the six thousand elite cavalry followed Li Guang away from the battlefield, galloping along the river valley towards Gaolan Mountain. Liang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, went to the position, and ordered again to order all infantry to strengthen the position and prepare for perseverance.

Li Guang left, Liang Xiao was the highest commander here. Gongsun Rongnu and others did not dare to neglect them, so they immediately took action and locked all the big trucks together according to previous training. In order to fix the big trucks, stones were brought from the hillsides on both sides and the river valleys to hold the wheels.

Seeing that the Han cavalry disappeared in the valley, the infantry were determined to strengthen their positions and had no intention of taking the initiative, King Xiu Tu became even more uneasy. He chased after him quickly, and the baggage team was all behind and never followed. They could only support them for two or three days only by the dry food they carried with them. Once the food was exhausted, the morale of the army would inevitably be shaken.

At this moment, he was not afraid of fighting with the Han army. If the Han army took the initiative to attack, he still had a glimmer of life. However, the Han army was in charge of the formation and defended, if he wanted to leave, he could only attack the Han army with the shortcomings of the Huns, and the casualties would inevitably be heavy.

King Xiu Tu was anxious. While adjusting his formation and preparing to fight again, he sent people to investigate the situation of the southern position. Half an hour later, the messenger arrived. The situation of the southern position was even more unfavorable. Han general Li Xi led 8,000 infantrymen to block the entrance of the valley tightly and the water was blocked. If the Huns wanted to leave, they could only have ribs and wings and fly out like eagles in the sky.

King Xiu Tu was desperate. He gave up all his fantasies, concentrated his troops, and attacked Liang Xiao's position.

Liang Xiao commanded the Han army to stubbornly block the attack without giving in a single step.

Fighting in formation was originally the strength of the Han army. Liang Xiao and Li Xi held training for these infantry for more than half a month. At this moment, the Han army fully shook its advantages. The dense rain of arrows made the Huns complain, and the casualties were heavy. Even if some Huns were full of luck, they rushed past the arrow formation and came to the chariot formation, they were not the opponents of the Han army soldiers holding long halberds and swords and shields, and were cut down in front of the formation.

The Han army was full of morale, and they repelled the Huns' attacks again and again, but the losses were controlled very ideally. Liang Xiao ordered the three lieutenants to take turns to fight, retreating to rest every time they repel the enemy's attack, drinking water and eating. Those with serious injuries were concentrated behind the formation, bandaging the wounds, and treating them in time, and doing everything possible to reduce casualties.

Just as Liang Xiao was commanding the infantry to block the Huns, Li Guang showed the Xiongnu baggage team.

As Liang Xiao estimated, the Xiongnu generals who led the baggage team learned that King Xiu Tu was blocked in the valley by the Han army and immediately knew that something was wrong. He was not worried about King Xiu Tu's safety. In his opinion, King Xiu Tu had 20,000 elite cavalry, and breaking through the Han army's position was expected. The only difference was the size of casualties. However, the baggage team was not good. Without the protection of the main force, they did not have enough self-protection ability.

Once these baggages fall into the hands of the Han people, King Xiu Tu will definitely kill him.

So, without saying a word, he turned around and ran away, crossed Gaolan Mountain, and retreated to the grassland of King Xiu Tu in the north of the river, waiting for news about King Xiu Tu.

Just when he thought he was safe, Li Guang led 6,000 elite cavalry to kill the river. He knew that King Xiu Tu's main force had been blocked in the valley, and no one could be his opponent at this moment, so he drove straight into the hinterland of the Huns and soon found traces of the Huns' supplies.

The Huns could not hide and had to bite the bullet and fight.

As soon as the two sides fought, the Huns fell into an unexpected dilemma.

The Huns were brave and fierce, and they made a living by robbing spoils. Whoever got it was the one who was strong was willing to be the main force, and no one was willing to guard the baggage. Although the Huns who protected the baggage had five or six thousand cavalry, their combat effectiveness was average, and they could only ensure that the baggage was not attacked by the enemy. Once they encountered a strong enemy, they had to rely on the main force to rescue them.

Now, King Xiu Tu's main force was blocked in the mountains by the Han army. They had no reinforcements to rely on their own strength to deal with the Han army. However, facing these carefully selected Han knights, they were no opponents at all.

Still a hundred steps away, before the Huns pulled the bow in their hands, the crossbow cavalry shot hundreds of powerful arrows, shooting nearly a hundred Huns who rushed towards them. The Huns caught them off guard and fell one after another, and their routine shooting was vain.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the assault cavalry wearing heavy armor and holding spears and halberds roared up and rushed to the front. The sharp halberd blade pierced the skin armor of the Huns, harvesting the lives of the Huns like cutting wheat. Under their cover, the light cavalry with excellent shooting skills pulled away the strong bow in their hands, shot at one Huns after another, and shot one Huns after another.

The Han army cooperated with each other and tore open the Xiongnu positions with unstoppable force, leaving behind blood all the way.

Li Guang rode his horse, his strings were like thunderbolts, and a sharp arrow left the string. The Huns were caught in arrows one after another, without a single enemy.

With just two charges, the Huns suffered a significant loss, nearly a thousand people fell down, and the formation was riddled with holes and messy. Seeing the fierce Han army, the Huns did not dare to fight again, so they threw down their baggage, turned around and ran away, like birds and beasts scattered.

Li Guang immediately ordered a pursuit. The sound of war drums sounded, and the assault cavalry dispersed their formations. The light cavalry rushed out, and the crossbow cavalry also drew out the battle knife, then covered the killing, chased the death of the north, and killed the will.
