The Yueqi battalion simply defeated the Huns, and the battle was fought very easily.

I am afraid that even Deng Ai himself did not expect that this battle would be so easy. The battles that the Yue cavalry participated in before were all cavalry versus infantry, so the combat capabilities of the Yue cavalry and cavalry have not been tested. Moreover, the Huns cavalry are good at mounted combat.

It was generally accepted that Deng Ai had no idea whether he could win this battle successfully.

But since Cao Liang handed over the Yueqi camp, which he regarded as his confidant, and entrusted him with the important task of vanguard, Deng Ai naturally did not dare to live up to this trust.

Since leaving Anyi, Deng Ai has led the Yueqi battalion at the forefront of the team. As a pioneer officer, Deng Ai naturally knows how heavy the burden is on his shoulders.

Except for the Yueqi Battalion, the other four battalions of the Fifth School of the Northern Army are all newly formed teams. Deng Ai has been serving as the chief instructor of the Fifth School of the Northern Army since he recruited troops. Naturally, he knows the combat effectiveness of these temporarily put together teams.

, to put it bluntly, it is okay to bring out such an army to bluff people, but it would be really embarrassing if they were put on the battlefield with real swords and guns!

If this army is given to Deng Ai for training, Deng Ai guarantees that it can be completely transformed within half a year, and it will have sufficient combat effectiveness on the battlefield.

However, the current situation is pressing, and Cao Liang has to lead his army to the front line in advance. This undoubtedly casts a shadow on the Northern Expedition. If they encounter the Huns who are not strong in combat effectiveness, the Pingbei Army may be able to cope with it.

, but if you encounter the main force of the Huns, the situation will not be good.

Cao Liang asked Deng Ai to lead the Yueqi Battalion to take the lead, which naturally has a deeper meaning. Now the only team with combat effectiveness in the Pingbei Army is the Yueqi Battalion. With it in the front, it is not only required to charge into the battle, but also to provide

The four battalions at the back serve as cover. As long as the cavalry battalion is not defeated and dispersed, the four battalions at the back are relatively safe.

Therefore, Deng Ai actually shouldered a considerable responsibility. Whether the Yueqi battalion fought well or not was related to the life and death of the Pingbei Army. Deng Ai did not dare to slack off for a moment.

Before encountering the Hun cavalry, Deng Ai was fully prepared for battle. The scouts he sent out were always paying close attention to all dangers coming from the front and flanks.

Before the Huns arrived, the scouts had already reported the enemy attack to Deng Ai, so Deng Ai could easily formulate a formation and prepare for it.

In fact, Deng Ai overestimated the combat capabilities of the Huns. In the first battle, he carefully arranged the spindle formation. The biggest feature of the spindle formation was its sharp attack, which was a sharp weapon for destroying the enemy's solid defense line.

The disadvantage is that the Spindle Formation can only break through at a single point and is less lethal to the enemy. However, in the current situation and the enemy's situation is unknown, Deng Ai's choice is still very correct.

Of course, Deng Ai's sense of smell on the battlefield was very sensitive. After the spindle formation easily broke through the Huns' defense line, Deng Ai made a prompt decision and changed the spindle formation into a two-wing flying formation.

And Deng Ai's change of formation undoubtedly sprinkled a pinch of salt on the Huns' wounds. The two wings flew together, which was equivalent to a full-scale attack by the Vietnamese cavalry. They completely destroyed the Huns in a ruthless and destructive way.

The fighting spirit also allowed the Yueqi Battalion to gain its first victory since the Northern Expedition.

Cao Liang has been paying attention to this battle, and the first battle of the Yueqi Camp really touched his heart.

The importance of this battle is self-evident. The Yueqi Battalion is actually standing on the edge of a cliff. It can only advance but cannot retreat. It can only win but cannot lose. If even the Yueqi Battalion cannot withstand the Huns' attack

In the case of an offensive, the fourth battalion of the Northern Army behind would be even more vulnerable.

Fortunately, the Yueqi camp fought smoothly and completely defeated the Huns in less than a moment.

The ensuing battle became meaningless. The Huns fled desperately, while the Yueqi battalion pursued them with all their strength. Both sides chased each other and staged a life-and-death battle on the banks of the Fen River.

When the battle was coming to an end, Cao Liang went to the Yueqi camp in person. At this time, Deng Ai had already sounded the gong, and the cavalry of the Yueqi camp had stopped pursuing and returned one after another.

Deng Ai was on horseback in full military uniform and was unable to salute. He just cupped his fists at Cao Liang and said, "General Cao, I am the last general who is lucky... luckily he has lived up to his command."

Cao Liang smiled like a spring breeze, raised his thumb at Deng Ai, and praised: "Great job!"

Deng Ai looked happy. Being recognized by Cao Liang was naturally the highest praise for him. He said: "The general is so complimentary. The Huns are not... vulnerable to a single blow. Only the last general... was able to achieve complete victory."

"

Cao Liang said: "Among the five Xiongnu tribes, the southern part is the weakest, and the Huns have always been arrogant and did not take our cavalry seriously, so we were able to win this battle. This also corresponds to the old saying, arrogance

The army must be defeated, so although we have won this battle, we must not be complacent or arrogant, thinking that the Huns are vulnerable. We must go all out in future battles."

A hearty victory would definitely fuel the arrogance of Deng Ai and the Yueqi battalion, believing that the Huns were nothing but mediocre and that they could definitely defeat them.

This sign is very dangerous. Not to mention that they defeated only the weakest of the five Xiongnu tribes this time. The arrogance brought about by this victory is also a dangerous sign. Sadly,

An army must win, and an arrogant army must lose. This time the Wei army fought with a mournful attitude, so they won a great victory. If they encounter the Huns in the future and their mentality changes drastically, they may not be able to fight the battle so easily.

Deng Ai also had the habit of being very happy with his achievements. After this victory, he looked elated. Cao Liang came to give him a beating at the right time, which was of great help to Deng Ai's growth.

In history, Deng Ai was killed because he took credit for his pride after destroying Shu. That's why Cao Liang said this, which also made Deng Ai himself wary.

Deng Ai had a stern look on his face, and he quickly bent down and said, "I will obey the general's command."

Cao Liang smiled slightly, and it could be seen that Deng Ai's attitude had changed significantly, and he was even more respectful to Cao Liang. Obviously, Cao Liang's words made him very alert. Don't be arrogant when you win, and don't be discouraged when you lose.

The way to victory.

"The Huns are newly defeated, and they will definitely not be able to gain a foothold under Pingyang City. Shi Zai, please rush your troops to Pingyang and relieve the siege of Pingyang." Cao Liang ordered.

Liu Yue led his troops to take advantage of the excitement, but returned in defeat. It is estimated that he has not yet come out of the shadow of the Huns' defeat. If he advances at this time, the Huns will be frightened and take the initiative to withdraw, and the Wei army will be relieved.
