Chapter 510
In the ensuing melee, the Huns could not get any advantage. The two elite teams sent by Deng Ai were personally led by Sima Lai from the Yueqi Battalion, and Lin selected the most elite team from the Yueqi Battalion.
Although there are only 200 knights in each team, their formation is rigorous and they fight bravely. They are fully capable of defeating one against ten.
However, the Huns fell into panic. Their original target was the Wei soldiers who were sitting leisurely in the Wei army's camp. However, just halfway through, they were caught off guard by the Wei army cavalry ambushing on the left and right flanks.
He originally wanted to ambush others, but was counter-ambushed by others. Suo Gan looked depressed.
Suo Gan was one of the four most capable generals under Liu Yue, and he was also the leader who advocated a decisive battle with the Wei army. Originally, he could fight the Wei army happily this time to avenge the shame of the Battle of Pingyang.
But I didn't expect that as soon as the war started, it hurt, it hurt, it was fast, but these two words couldn't come together.
Compared with the well-organized and powerful Yueqi battalion, the Huns cavalry seemed to be relatively amateurs. The Huns cavalry had been hanging out on horseback since childhood, but they were completely crushed by the Wei army in cavalry combat.
Although the Huns' cavalry had a numerical advantage, they were clearly at a disadvantage in the melee.
Suo Gan complained secretly that Liu Yue's order to them was to stop the Wei army. Although Liu Yue did not explicitly ask them to defeat their opponents, Liu Yue did ask them to hold on for more than four hours.
This is a hard indicator, and it also ensures that Liu Yue's side has enough confidence to annihilate the Wei army's infantry. If the Wei army breaks through and intercepts easily, all the cooked ducks on the West Liulin side may fly away.
However, judging from the current situation, the Xiongnu cavalry attack is weak, and even the two small groups of Wei cavalry cannot defeat it, let alone the main force of the Wei army that is resting.
If time drags on for too long and the resting Wei army joins the battle, wouldn't the situation become too bad?
If Deng Ai knew what Suo Qian was thinking at the moment, he could only laugh. If he had to use the full force of Yueqiying to deal with Suoqian's few troops, wouldn't Yueqiying be too weak?
Therefore, Deng Ai had no intention of sending more troops at all. He assigned the task of counterattacking the Xiongnu ambush to the two cavalrymen led by Sima on the left and right. Cao Liang believed that they were fully capable of the task.
It is not only necessary to defeat the opponent, but also to fight quickly. The situation of the battle in Xiliulin is unknown, and Deng Ai does not know how long Cao Liang and the others can hold on. Anyway, it is always right to move forward at the fastest speed.
The cavalry squad led by the left and right Sima also lived up to Deng Ai's expectations. They fought cleanly and neatly. After the attack was successful, the two cavalry squads completed the rendezvous and launched a swift and powerful offensive against the Huns' cavalry.
During the fierce battle, the Yueqi battalion gave full play to its mobility and the advantages of the charge formation, beating the originally scattered Hun soldiers to pieces.
Although Suogan tried his best to mobilize the Xiongnu soldiers to resist, he had little effect. After all, they were no longer on the same level. The advantage of the more skilled Wei cavalry was becoming more and more obvious. Now the Xiongnu cavalry has shown its superiority.
Due to the defeat, those Hun cavalry who fled were no longer a minority.
During the melee, Zuo Sima Xu Hui had already set his sights on Suo Gan. Seeing Suo Gan's furious look, Xu Hui concluded that this person was the leader of the Huns cavalry, so Xu Hui clapped his horse forward and took hold of Suo Gan.
Suo Qian was originally a general under Liu Yue, but he had been neglecting battle formations for many years, and his martial arts skills were no longer what they used to be. When he saw Xu Hui rushing toward him, he couldn't help but feel panicked. After fighting for three or five times, Suo Qian
Qian knew that the situation was over, so he simply rode away, preparing to escape.
An arrow flew from nowhere and hit Suogan squarely in the back of the heart. Suogan screamed, fell from his horse, and fell to the ground, motionless.
Xu Hui rushed over on horseback and saw that Suo Gan was already dead, so he took out his sword and cut off his head.
Then Xu Hui looked around, wanting to see who shot this arrow. The arrow technique was so accurate.
From far away, Yousi Mingqi waved his bow at him, indicating that he shot the arrow. Xu Hui nodded. He knew that Ding Qi had good archery skills. It was his precise hit from a long distance that made Suo Qian
He failed to escape, but ended up losing his life instead.
Xu Hui put Suo Gan's head on the tip of a spear and shouted loudly: "The enemy chief's head is here, how dare you not surrender quickly?"
The Xiongnu army, which was already on the verge of defeat, was even more frightened when they saw the leader Suogan's head being held high on the tip of a spear, and was defeated.
Xu Hui and Ding Qi covered up the killing for a while, then quickly gathered their troops and returned to report to Deng Ai.
Although it is said that if the Wei army continues to pursue, they can gain greater results, but Xu Hui and Ding Qi are very clear about the mission assigned by Deng Ai, which is to fight quickly and not to have too many entanglements with the Huns.
They are still waiting for reinforcements from their Yueqi camp.
Deng Ai hardly cared about the battle. He just finished the bowl of corn rice very seriously. When he took the last mouthful of rice into his mouth, Xu Hui and Ding Qi just appeared in front of him and came to him.
He returned to life.
After defeating the Huns' blockade in just one meal, Deng Ai was quite satisfied with the result. He ordered the Yueqi battalion to move forward immediately and advance towards the West Liulin.
It was not far from Xiliu Forest. While Deng Ai was marching, he sent out multiple scouts to investigate the situation of Xiliu Forest in all directions.
According to the information obtained by the scouts, Deng Ai knew the battle situation of Cao Liang and the third infantry battalion. It seemed that the situation was not too bad. At least the infantry resisted the attack of the Huns cavalry and fought continuously for more than five hours.
,Xiliu Forest has not been lost yet.
After receiving the news that Cao Liang and others were safe, Deng Ai did not rush to attack the Huns. Instead, he divided the Yueqi camp into three groups, with Xu Hui and Ding Qi each leading one group to blockade the Huns.
Deng Ai himself led another group of troops to attack the Huns camp outside Xiliu Forest.
Huan Fan's plan this time was aimed at annihilating the Huns in the south. While attacking the Huns from inside and outside, they must cut off the Huns' retreat. In this way, Liu Yue became a turtle in the urn, and the Wei army could easily capture him. Otherwise, Liu Yue became a turtle in the urn.
