(35) Unexpected encounter

To put it bluntly, it is because although the Hun tribe ahead intentionally appeared, it was not large in scale. It was just a thousand five hundred combat troops, and the rest were women, elderly and children.

The leader of this tribe is the authentic Hun royal family, Duanmuye, the cousin of Khan. Duanmuye's tribe is in the area of ​​Dingbiancheng. After receiving the notification from Khan to ask him to be more careful, Duanmuye did not take much care of it. In his opinion, the Great Qi cavalry coming to attack were at most a thousand people, and he had 1,500 warriors under him, so he could deal with it. It would be fine if the Great Qi cavalry didn't come, but they would not be able to go there when they came.

Just as Bai Qi was nervously preparing, Duanmuye received a report from his subordinates in his felt bag. He found the cavalry of Daqi nearby. Judging from the distance, it should not have come out of Dingbian City. Duanmuye felt that his luck was really good. A large group of Hun cavalry were looking for this army all over the grassland, but they actually bumped into their own door.

Duanmuye was thinking about how to destroy the Great Qi army beautifully with his own strength, another soldier came outside the door to hug him: "Prince, Khan's Seventeen Princess's convoy is here." Duanmuye frowned again when he heard the news. The reason why Khan's Seventeen Princess came to him was because he wanted to go to Zhang Chu to marry him. In Duanmuye's opinion, he didn't know what Khan thought, but he actually thought of marrying Zhang Chu and marrying the most beautiful Seventeen Princess to Zhang Chu's useless king. This was the in-laws that Zhang Chu had made when he supported the Huns' large amount of food. Duanmuye always believed that marrying the princess to King Zhang Chu was actually a shameless thing. The Han people in the Central Plains were all slaves.

Duanmuye has no intention of dealing with this matter now, and has told the people below to support the Seventeenth Princess and to be busy killing the Daqi army that came to his door.

Duanmuye's first reaction was to send a probe to search everywhere and find the exact location of the Daqi army, and at the same time, all soldiers were prepared and ready to attack at any time.

Bai Qi finally waited for accurate information. What appeared ahead was not a powerful army, but a tribe of about 5,000 people. There were not many combatants, and the opponent did not seem to know the situation of his troops. He also sent out horses to find the position of his troops. What exactly did the opponent want to do? Judging from the situation, he should want to fight with him, but what if this was just an illusion made by the opponent on purpose and exposed his position? Bai Qi was a little hesitant.

After thinking, Bai Qi decided to fight a battle. Now Bai Qi's only worry is Bai Yunshan and Ye Tingyu on both sides of the left and right sides. If they were to do something cruel to themselves and run away with the troops, the possessions they had worked hard to manage would probably be over. Based on the information sent by all aspects, Bai Qi felt that this battle was still very sure. Now it depends on how he commanded it. How should he fight?

Bai Qi was always unsure whether his opponent knew his background. Judging from the signs, the opponent did not know that he had five thousand soldiers under him. If it was as expected, everything would be easy. Bai Qi decided to take a bet and immediately called Lei Shao and Dong Qiu, asking them to take their troops to Baiyun Mountain and Ye Tingyu respectively, so that they would not be afraid of them making trouble.

In the end, Bai Qi had not forgotten to explain, asking several generals to tell the soldiers that this battle was related to whether everyone could go home safely. If they failed, everyone would be over.

After Bai Qi made arrangements, he led the remaining 1,000 troops to move south and actively exposed himself to the eyelids of the Huns' horse-snooping horses. Of course, Bai Qi did not simply expose it, but played a little trick.

A small group of Huns were searching around the grassland, and suddenly found a large group of Daqi cavalry appeared on both sides of them, which meant to annihilate the entire team in one fell swoop. After a "hard battle", all the Huns were eliminated, but they also successfully sent a signal to Duanmuye before they died, and led the Daqi army to run several miles in the direction where Duanmuye's main force was.

Duanmuye certainly did not doubt the information that the warriors exchanged for their lives. There were more than a thousand cavalrymen in the Great Qi ahead. They were planning to escape back to Daqi from their own defense, but unfortunately they were discovered by the brave Hun soldiers, and Duanmuye thought so.

Duanmuye personally led the main force of 1,500 cavalrymen to quickly pounce on Bai Qi's troops. Duanmuye could soon see the cavalry of Daqi from afar. When Duanmuye discovered the Daqi army, the Daqi army seemed to have also discovered Duanmuye's main force. It seemed that the opponent's main general was also a powerful character. When Duanmuye's main force was discovered from afar, he immediately led the troops to retreat.

Duanmuye was not willing to let his opponent go and immediately ordered a pursuit. The horses of the Daqi people obviously looked a little tired. This lonely army was harassing the Huns for many days, and the troops were exhausted. Duanmuye could clearly feel that although the opponent's escape was very fast, it was constantly slowing down. The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer. Duanmuye could clearly see the opponent's scattered soldiers who were desperately urging their mounts.

The Great Qi army fled for a while, and perhaps felt that they could not escape, so they stopped and retreated. They chose a place with a higher terrain to set up a battle formation. It seemed that they were going to fight to the death. Duanmuye felt that he had been chasing for a long time and finally had no effort in vain. The opponent finally gave up escaping and turned around to fight him.

Bai Qi spent some time fighting in this area. The terrain of this area is higher on three sides and lower in the middle. Once the Hun cavalry enters this area, their vision will be affected, and it is difficult to find the movement of their own troops.

Although Duanmuye also discovered that the terrain here was not very beneficial to him, he was still very confident that with the courage and good fighting of the Hun warriors, he was completely confident of destroying his opponent with more and less.

The command troops stopped chasing at high speed, stopped from afar, calmly arranged their team, Duanmuno was confident that they could attack the enemy on the opposite side after a charge.

Duanmuye's main force completely entered the ambush circle set by Bai Qi, and Bai Qi also waited for the opportunity to eliminate his opponent.

"Download smoke!" Bai Qi ordered that the soldiers who had already prepared fired and threw the dry cow dung on it. When the fire came up, pour some water on it. A huge thick smoke rose, and it could be seen within a radius of fifty miles.

Duanmuye, who was about to launch an attack, found that his opponent suddenly blew smoke, and a bad feeling surged in his heart. Duanmuye made a quick decision and immediately ordered: "There is an ambush, the whole army is on guard."

Unfortunately, Duanmuye was still late to order. A large number of cavalrymen appeared on the high ground on both sides. A brief look at it shows that the opponent in front of him was not one thousand, but no less than three thousand.

"Kill!" Bai Qi roared, and three troops rushed towards Duanmuye's troops like a gust of wind.

It should be said that Duanmuye was still wise. He did not immediately order the troops to retreat. In this way, the troops will not be dispersed. Although the number of troops is not superior, it is really difficult to eliminate these 1,500 warriors who have lived on the grassland for many years with Bai Qi's strength.

The Hun cavalry was indeed skillful in the bow and horses on the horse's back. They arranged their teams and greeted them with bows and arrows. Before they could reach the front of the Huns, hundreds of people fell down. Unfortunately, the two sides were too close, and Bai Qi's troops charged condescendingly, only suffering minor casualties, and the two sides fought in the same place.

The sound of horse sabers colliding with each other and the sound of killings mixed together, the Hun cavalry was so fierce. Under the fierce impact of the Great Qi army, the formation was still unrestrained. With the superb horsemanship, these Hun soldiers could still fight in some parts.

Bai Qi ambushed 1,500 opponents with four thousand cavalrymen, and the scene between the two sides was in a stalemate. Bai Qi couldn't help but sigh at the strong combat effectiveness of the Huns' cavalry. No wonder they could traverse the grasslands. At that time, they had only 500,000 people and horses to enter the heartland of the Central Plains.

The battle situation was difficult, and the tenacity of the Xiongnu soldiers' resistance was beyond Bai Qi's expectations. The quality and combat effectiveness of the soldiers on both sides also showed high or low levels in this field battle. Often, two or three soldiers of the Great Qi could only remove a Xiongnu cavalry. Besides, these Xiongnu soldiers were fighting on the local level, and their fighting will was much more tenacious than those of the Bai Qi's troops.

Bai Qi and a thousand men did not move. Bai Qi kept waiting for an opportunity to defeat the opponent in one fell swoop. The fierce battle between the two sides was approaching an hour, and the Hun cavalry became more and more brave. On the other hand, the Daqi army had loosened. Fortunately, there was no mobile troops on Duanmuye's hands. Otherwise, if there was a counterattack at this time, it would be unknown who would win. Through this battle, Bai Qi once again realized the gap in strength between the soldiers on both sides, and further strengthened Bai Qi's belief in training a strong army.

The opportunity that Bai Qi was waiting for finally appeared, and a huge thick smoke rose from the sky in the distance. From the direction, it was Duanmuye's nest.

The old nest was dungeon, and Duanmuye could be said to be in a mess. If there were only some ordinary people, even if they had their own wives and children there, it would not be enough to shake Duanmuye's fighting will. The key is that there was a seventeenth princess there, which was the most deadly thing.

Duanmuye, who had been fighting, was finally shaken and decided to lead the team back and rescue the princess. It was a trivial matter for his wife and children, but the princess fell into the hands of the army of the Great Qi Kingdom, and the joke was a big deal. Duanmuye had just ordered a retreat, but the soldiers who had already seen the fire in the backyard had lost half of their fighting spirit. He was fighting here, but his wife and children were not sure of their life or death. No one could fight this battle.

Duanmuye made a wrong judgment. He thought that the two sides could maintain a stalemate in the battle, and they should be able to fight and retreat while retreating. Unexpectedly, the order of retreat was as follows: Although the troops could still maintain their straits, they had no fighting spirit.

Want to run away? It's not that easy. Bai Qi was waiting for this opportunity. Taking advantage of the moment when the Huns retreated, the team had just loosened, and Bai Qi had already pulled out the "slaying sorrow" and roared: "Kill!" Bai Qi took the lead and entered the Huns' camp. The situation was originally balanced. After Bai Qi led a thousand new force, the Huns' formation was completely in chaos.

The battlefield suddenly showed a one-sided situation. Duanmuye's plan to fight and retreat was now a fatal mistake. Bai Qi commanded the troops to disrupt Duanmuye's formation. The Huns soldiers were completely trapped in the melee of the Yu Daqi army. Moreover, the Huns soldiers had been divided into countless small pieces, and they were tenaciously resisting with their personal fighting will. Now, let alone returning to the aid nest, even Duanmuye himself was surrounded, and there were only a hundred personal soldiers who were left by his side to protect him and kill him outward.

Bai Qi didn't want to get too entangled with this Hun army. Now Bai Qi knew that there was no idea where, a large number of Hun cavalry were looking for his troops. If he was lucky enough to find this, he would be desperate. Bai Qi would have to fight quickly.

Capture the king first! Bai Qi has been observing this Hun army and has long discovered that Duanmuye has been under the protection of many personal soldiers. In addition, Duanmuye is holding a yellow tiger-skinned cloak. You don’t need to ask Bai Qi to know that this is the leader of the Huns.

Waving "Slaying the Sorrow", Bai Qi led his troops and horses into the depths of the battlefield like a sharp awl. Wherever he went, anyone who dared to come forward to fight would be cut off his head by Bai Qi's one move. Bai Qi's goal was very obvious, that is, to take Duanmuye and speed up the end of the battle.

Although Duanmuye also wanted to control his troops, he could no longer control it. Although Duanmuye asked his subordinates to keep holding the battle flag high, hoping that his subordinates could do their best to kill him, all this seemed to be futile. All Duanmuye saw was that Hun soldiers were constantly dying in battle under the impact of the Great Qi army. Failure had become an irreversible fact. Now Duanmuye's only hope was that there would be a man from other tribes chasing Bai Qi and he could reach the battlefield.

Duanmuye can only take his personal soldiers and fight hard to kill outside. As for his wife and children, Princess Seventeen, he really dared not think about it. He will save his life first. The grassland is very large and he can gallop at will on weekdays, but now Duanmuye has found that he has many difficulties in every step forward, and the soldiers of the Great Qi are not fools. Such a big boss can exchange for at least 300 taels of silver when he gets Bai Qi.

Duanmuye struggled to cut down another Daqi soldier who was blocking the road. At this time, there were only about fifty people left by his side. He was about to break through the siege, and Duanmuye seemed to see hope for life.
