The year of Guiyou, November, the ninth day of the day.

Henan County, at the foot of Mangshan Mountain in the north of Luoyang City.

When the sun in winter just rose, a thousand feet of light shone on Mount Mang, covering the Han army that had already formed under the mountain with a layer of golden color, and the armored light spread towards the sun like golden scales.

In the continuous military formation, a huge red-bottomed dragon flag fluttered in the wind, and the vigorous characters really flew like a dragon.

Liu Yu stood in front of the central army on a horse, looking at the Hun army slowly moving forward with a serious look on his face.

At this time, a Han cavalry rode his horse in front of Liu Yu.

"Your Majesty, there is a barbarian cavalry that has just gone along Qilijian toward Shouyang Mountain to the east."

"How many people are there?" Liu Yu asked.

Shouyang Mountain is located on the east side of Mang Mountain. If you bypass Shouyang Mountain, you can turn to the northeast to attack Mengjin, or go northwest to the north of Mang Mountain, and then threaten the back of the Han army.

"There are too many cavalrymen, and the men didn't see it clearly. There are at least 10,000 people, and it may be more." The Han cavalry soldier said very cautiously.

After hearing this, Liu Yu frowned slightly. Now the Han army array is on the road north from Mangshan to Pingxian. Although the cover of the mountains on both sides is enough to prevent the Han army from being harassed by cavalry on both sides, if the back is hit by tens of thousands of barbarian cavalry, it is very likely that they will not be able to retreat smoothly when the war is unfavorable.

In that case, you will not be able to return to Pingxian City smoothly.

"Your Majesty, the barbarians have divided their troops eastward, so they must have wanted to circumnavigate our army's back. It's better to allocate some troops to Xiaoping." Xi Jian next to him suggested.

After thinking for a while, Liu Yu denied the suggestion.

"There are three thousand elite soldiers from Li Feng there. Even if the Hu Guan has 10,000 cavalry, it will definitely not be able to shake Li Feng."

Liu Yu had already arranged for Li Feng to guard the road behind him in advance. Although Li Feng did not have any great talents, this kind of desperate task was the most suitable.

What's more, Liu Yu did not take the ten thousand barbarian cavalry into his eyes.

Just now, the cavalry of both sides had already fought some confrontation on the periphery. The Hun cavalry were still light cavalry with light bows and quick swords, which was not a big threat to the three thousand elite armored soldiers.

"Now the Hulu has come all over. As long as you can defeat the Hulu head-on, the ten thousand Hulu that surrounds the back will have nothing to do with the overall situation."

Liu Yu said with great confidence that as long as the main forces of the Huns who were facing the front were defeated, the Hun cavalry that were surrounding him would be likely to face the main forces of the Han army that turned around, and their offensive naturally had to retreat on their own.

After hearing this, Xi Jian also felt it made sense, so he stopped talking.

At this time, the vast plain south of the Han army had been completely controlled by the Hun army.

In such a clear weather, Liu Yu had basically seen the Huns' formation clearly.

Most of the Hun army opposite were Hun cavalry, and only a very small number were infantry without horses.

Among them, among the Huns army directly opposite Liu Yu, there was a team of Huns cavalry especially well, because Liu Yu had already seen the light reflected from the shining iron armor on their bodies.

"These barbarians can be called elite!" Liu Yu pointed the horse whip in his hand and said.

Xi Jian, Zhao Kun and others next to them all looked up.

"Your Majesty, that should be the central army of Hu Chief Liu Cong." Xi Jian also saw the excellent equipment of the Hu Captains.

"Hehe, these barbarians look quite intimidating, but I don't know if they can be used." Zhao Kun felt that the Huns were not surprised.

"However, that big umbrella is very silly. After the war begins, the last general will snatch him over for His Majesty!" Zhao Kun pointed his hand in front and said loudly.

After hearing what Zhao Kun said about the "big umbrella", Liu Yu and others burst into laughter.

"That is a twelve-layered and colorful canopy. Even if it is not Hu Chief Liu Cong, he should be his son Shanyu Liu Can. What is the big umbrella?" Liu Yu said with a smile.

"Hehe, I know it's a canopy, but I think it's a big umbrella in the hands of the Hulu, but I don't feel like a canopy." Zhao Kun smiled deliberately.

After Zhao Kun made such a joke, everyone was no longer overly serious.

After a while, almost all the Han cavalry outside were forced back into the formation by the Hun cavalry.

At this time, the Huns' army had completely controlled the situation outside, but the Han army had the height advantage of the Mangshan behind them, and most of the movements of the barbarians could not escape their eyes.

After the Han cavalry returned to the formation, the Han infantry had already begun to arrange horses, roadblocks and other objects in front of the formation to prevent the Huns from attacking the flat avenue in the middle.

As for the low hills on both sides, the Han army infantry has also made arrangements.

After Liu Yu glanced around, he felt that he was ready, so he was waiting for the barbarians to attack.

At this time, Liu Yu saw a tall and thin figure among the guard beside him.

"Ran Liang!" Liu Yu shouted to the figure.

Ran Liang, who had been staring at the Huns formation ahead, heard it and immediately rushed to Liu Yu's side.

"Ran Liang! Guess where will the Hulu attack from?"

Ran Liang, who has almost completely grown up to be an adult, is eight feet tall. If he hadn't had his tender face, he wouldn't have seen that he was a fourteen-year-old boy.

After hearing Liu Yu's inquiry, Ran Liang said without hesitation.

"Your Majesty, the number of troops of the Hulu is several times that of our army. Whether it is the hills on both sides or the central army on this avenue, they are the main attack directions of the Hulu."

After hearing Ran Liang's words, Liu Yu smiled softly.

"Haha, that's right. You're the main attackers on all sides. Are you scared?"

After hearing this, Ran Liang's expression immediately became ferocious.

"Liang is not afraid. Half of the Huang Ran clans in the inner Huang Ran clan were killed by the hands of the Hu. Although Jie Hu was defeated, these Hus are still rampant. If Liang is afraid, how can he avenge his tribe members!"

After hearing Ran Liang's words, Liu Yu nodded and patted his shoulder and encouraged him.

"In this battle, the barbarians will definitely underestimate the enemy because our army has few soldiers. When the barbarians have exhausted their three battles, it is the time when your Yulin cavalry will be charged. Then you can take revenge happily!"

In Liu Yu's plan, it was not just a formation and defense. More than a thousand Han cavalry that accompanied him would serve as the final decisive counterattack force to launch a Jedi counterattack when the Hulu's offensive was blocked.

Liu Yu had sufficient confidence in the effect of the counterattack.

You should know that every one of these more than a thousand Han cavalry can provide for seven or eight infantry. If these expenses cannot be exchanged for seven or eight times the effect, Liu Yu would never be able to use these cavalry.

However, the premise of all this still requires the Han army infantry to resist the early offensive of several times the Hulu.

After Liu Yu had imagined that after he could not help but look at the bright Hun Canopy in the distance.

At the same time, under this twelve colorful canopy, the Hun Emperor Liu Cong also looked at the Qingzhou Han army array opposite with the same eyes.

"Although the bandit army is considered to be organized, it is just ordinary and is actually arranged on the front."

The Hun Emperor Liu Cong saw from a distance that the Han army in Qingzhou protected the central army in the avenue with hills on both wings. Although there was no flaw in it, there was no special place.

"Liu Yu is just a common person, but he is good at winning the morale of the army. Whenever he marches, he eats and sleeps with his soldiers, especially at training soldiers. The soldiers under his command are the difficult things." said Gou Xi, the general of the cavalry of the Huns Emperor.

"The array of these Qingzhou thieves is neat. Even if there is nothing strange about it, if you want to break the formation, you will probably have many casualties." Liu Yang, the Taibao of the Huns and Han State, said, "Your Majesty, I think it's better not to worry. It's better to confront each other in an array. Now the river water has begun to freeze and there is no supply of boats. How can these Qingzhou thieves last for a long time? It only takes three or five days to break without attacking."

After hearing the words of Taibao Liu Yang, the Hun Emperor Liu Cong was even more bored with this old thing.

The Huns' royal families led by Ethereum Liu Yang have been living for too long and have completely lost their aggressive spirit.

Every time there is a big battle, these old people will come out to advise themselves to "act calmly" or "problem with long-term plans", which is even more verbose than those Confucian scholars.

"I have won Guanzhong before, and Taibao also advised me to act calmly. What's the result?"

The Hun Emperor Liu Cong sneered

Before the introduction of Guanzhong, Taibao Liu Yang and other royal kings dissuaded the enemy. When the battle situation was unfavorable, these people spread negative remarks. When Liu Cong finally captured Guanzhong, Taibao Liu Yang and others jumped out and rushed to divide the Gengnu and the woman.

After hearing the ridicule of the Hun Emperor Liu Cong, the white beard on the face of Taibao Liu Yang trembled, and he was obviously very unwilling to accept it.

Liu Cong was not willing to give him any face, "Taibao felt that the thieves in Qingzhou were short of food. Isn't our army short of food?"

"Now the horse materials in the army are almost exhausted. If we don't take advantage of the weak horses and continue to waste, there will be no cavalry available."

The Huns and Han troops had been fighting fiercely in Guanzhong before, and most of the cavalry did not get a good rest. After coming to Luoyang, they had difficulty replenishing supplies and could only use Pingyang's food and grass as supplies.

As a result, many war horses from the Huns and Han countries had already begun to lose weight.

"What's more, the Jin captains in Qinzhou and Liangzhou have been eyeing Yongzhou, how can they waste their time with the Qingzhou thieves?"

"I ran away with Wang Dun before, which is already my great hatred!"

"Now that the Qingzhou thief light soldiers are coming. If Liu Yu escapes because of some calmness, wouldn't it be a mistake?"

When the Hun Emperor Liu Cong said this, he was already very angry.

Because he remembered the previous incident of King Dun of Jin's captain, "hanging sheep and beating drums" and retreating without hesitation. The war that he had been determined to win actually made himself a joke.

"Your Majesty forgive me, I just said nothing." After hearing this, Taibao Liu Yang immediately surrendered.

"After the three-way drum sound, Taibao will supervise the left wing for me. If the left wing soldiers dare to retreat before my central army, Taibao can deal with it with military law!"

The Hun Emperor Liu Cong ordered loudly.

"I obey the order! I will definitely advance and retreat with Your Majesty's Central Army!"

Taibao Liu Yang said this respectfully, but he had already cursed Liu Congyitong. Most of the soldiers on the left wing of the Huns were the troops of Taibao Liu Yang and other elders. If they were to be strict with military laws, the people they killed were their own confidants.

About half an hour later, when the last Xiongnu army crossed Qilijian and reached the designated position, the Xiongnu army had completed the final array deployment.

The Hun Emperor Liu Cong looked east at this time, and the army of Liu Yao, the king of Zhongshan who was sent by him to circumnavigate, was no longer visible.

Liu Cong thought in his mind that the Hun cavalry who were surrounding him would definitely not run too fast in order to maintain their horsepower.

He looked at the thin array of Qingzhou Han Army opposite him, and was really scared.

If the Huns' army attacked too early and the Qingzhou thieves collapsed too quickly, perhaps the Donglai thief Liu Yu would have escaped before the King of Zhongshan Liu Yao had completed the way back.
