As this wave of arrows was used up, the Great Han cavalry finally approached the Xiongnu formation!
Apart from a small number of arrows that pierced through the armor of the Great Han soldiers, and the arrows that hit their heads, causing them to fall off their horses, the rest of the Great Han soldiers were already close to the Xiongnu cavalry!
Both sides began to fight!
" F * ck, Sister Zhou isn't dead?!"
"The destructive power of the Xiongnu's arrow rain is very limited!”
Xu Zhenguo's pupils constricted. Then, he suddenly slapped his thigh as if he had thought of something.
"I should have thought of it! It was impossible for the Great Han to kill 9,000 enemies and lose 7,000. This was illogical!”
Xu Zhenguo said," According to historical records, the Xiongnu cavalry are wearing leather armor, which is armor made of animal skin. This kind of leather armor is extremely weak in defense, while the Han soldiers are wearing full armor. The Xiongnu's arrows are called arrows, but they are mostly sharpened beast bones. The Han soldiers have proper crossbow bolts. If the Xiongnu don't hit key spots like the face, it will be very difficult to break the armor of the Han soldiers!”
"Moreover, the Han Dynasty uses a long spear, while the Xiongnu's broadsword is not a sharp weapon like the Tang sword of the later generation. The difference between the two weapons is like heaven and earth!”
"A loss ratio of almost one to one might not be…credible!”
As Xu Zhenguo's words fell, the live broadcast room was in an uproar!
They looked at the screen in the live broadcast room excitedly. At this moment, they were extremely looking forward to the collision between the two!
Whether or not the Great Han Dynasty would lose 7,000 soldiers, they would know at this moment!
At this moment, the hand-to-hand battle between the 10,000 Great Han cavalrymen and the elites of the Hunxie Lords, the strongest forces in the Hexi Corridor, had begun!
The Han army was like a sharp spear that had stabbed into the heart of the Xiongnu people!
From Sister Zhou's point of view, an unbelievable scene unfolded!
The battle was still one-sided!
Everyone in the live broadcast room saw with their own eyes the Xiongnu people's broadswords slash at the Han cavalrymen's bodies, but the blades made an unpleasant grinding sound!
The unharmed Han soldier grinned hideously and thrust his lance at the Xiongnu soldier. The lance, the number one weapon of the heavy cavalry, pierced through the Xiongnu soldier's leather armor and stabbed into his chest!
Blood instantly spurted out!
Before he died, this Xiongnu man's face was filled with disbelief!
"F * ck, is the burly man's armor that awesome?”
" He didn't die?!"
"Is this the f * cking dimensional reduction of weapons?!”
Everyone in the live broadcast room went crazy. They could not believe it, but they had no choice but to believe it!
This was because this scene was happening all over the battlefield.
At this moment, they finally understood the true meaning of the phrase 'one Han conquering five Hu' and the fact that the Han army had won a great victory despite the great disparity in numbers between the Han and the rest of the Han army!
Not only was his physical fitness superior, but his weapon was also superior!
Sister Zhou also suppressed the fear in her heart and began to fight on the battlefield.
There were a few times when Sister Zhou almost lost her life, which made everyone in the live broadcast room nervous.
Compared to the chaos of the Xiongnu army, the quality of the Han army and their battle formation were reflected.
As soon as the two sides came into contact, King Xiutu and King Hunxie's expressions changed drastically.
"When did the Han army become so strong?”
"The middle army is not allowed to retreat. Block the gap for me. Those who retreat will die!”
King Xiutu roared.
Lord Hunxie also looked at the cavalry in shock, his eyes filled with disbelief!
Huo Qubing brandished his spear and charged into the battlefield like a god of war. He saw a Xiongnu King's Flag fluttering in the wind. That was…where King Hunxie and King Xiutu were!
"Kill them!"
"Generals, follow me and charge straight for the two Xiongnu kings!”
Huo Qubing roared angrily. The nineteen-year-old youth brandished his spear, and the sharpness around his body was revealed. The Han army followed him like an invincible army.
For a moment, a monstrous bloody aura pervaded the prairie.
The Xiongnu people in front of him could not block this invincible attack at all!
The bravery of the Han army made them feel extremely terrified, especially when they saw the brothers they knew fall one after another in front of them. The line of defense in their hearts was rapidly collapsing!
Huo Qubing led the Great Han cavalry and quickly approached King Xiutu and King Hunxie!
King Hunxie and King Xiutu were also stunned!
Where the f * ck did this pervert come from?!
"Stop them! Stop them now!”
"50,000 against 10,000, we can win even if we fight to the death!”
"If this battle annihilates their effective strength, they will be finished. They won't be able to escape from the west of the river!”
Lord Hunxie roared.
More and more Xiongnu people surrounded him, and the number of corpses on the ground increased.
Hunxie King's tactic was actually correct. 50,000 against 10,000. Even if his weapons and quality were superior, as long as he fought to the death, he could still cause Huo Qubing a lot of trouble.
However, he had overlooked a problem.
That was the human heart!
To put it nicely, this was an army of 50,000. To put it bluntly, this army belonged to more than five tribes. They were not the army of Lord Hunxie alone!
Seeing the Han army being so brave, they were terrified!
In the grasslands, the strong preyed on the weak. Once a tribe died in battle, or if a large number of the tribe's living forces died, the outcome of the tribe would be annexation!
Some of the Xiongnu tribal leaders who saw that something was wrong had other thoughts. Moreover, the Xiongnu people fought differently from the Han army. The Han army would kill those who retreated without mercy, but the Xiongnu people were different!
If they were allowed to take advantage, they would be fiercer than anyone else. But if they were to fight to the death, it was impossible!
Moreover, the Xiongnu had a rule. If you were from the same tribe as Jia, then if Jia died in battle, you would carry Jia's corpse back. Then, his wife, his children, and everything he had would be yours.
Under such circumstances, you expect the Xiongnu to fight to the death!
It was impossible!
Four hours later, the ground was littered with the corpses of the Xiongnu. The battle situation was basically locked in.
The Xiongnu soldiers were utterly defeated and fled in all directions!
"Great King, let's retreat!"
"If we don't leave now, it'll be too late!"
The blood-stained soldiers of King Xiutu and King Hunxie rushed up and said.
King Xiutu said unwillingly," What about my son? What about the Heaven Sacrificial Metal Statue?!”
"If you lose your son, you can have another one. If you lose the Heaven Sacrificial Metal Humanoid, you can just ask the Chief for forgiveness. If you don't leave now, we will be captured and brought back to Chang 'an to see the Great Han Emperor!”
Lord Hunxie's expression was also ugly, but he knew that the situation was already set. If he didn't leave now, it would be too late.
King Xiutu looked gloomily at the one-sided battlefield, but no matter how unwilling he was, he could only ride his horse and leave in a panic.
Everyone in the live broadcast room had seen with their own eyes how the Great Han charged forward, crushed the Xiongnu soldiers, and then defeated them. Moreover, the number of Great Han soldiers on the battlefield was clearly much more than the so-called 3,000.
"F * ck! It's a crushing battle!"
"I'm completely stunned. The Great Han army is too fierce!”
"Their weapons, equipment, and quality are simply incomparable to the Xiongnu!”
The live broadcast room was flooded with bullet comments.
Xu Zhenguo also sighed. Indeed, there was a reason for the self-contradictory statement in the Book of Han. There were not that many soldiers of the Great Han Dynasty who died!
In the middle of the battlefield, on the grassland that was covered in blood, the Xiongnu people's broken limbs were everywhere. Huo Qubing raised the Great Han King's flag, his body bathed in the blood of the Xiongnu people, but his eyes were shining brightly.
He stood there as if he was the center of the world!
The nineteen-year-old Marquis Champion was incomparably valiant!
Beside her, Sister Zhou's armor was also covered in blood. At this moment, she was extremely tired, but her eyes were filled with emotion.
He won, and it was a huge victory!
Huo Qubing said coldly," The entire army will clean up the battlefield, reorganize on the spot, and then return triumphantly!”
In this battle, King Xiutu and King Hunxie were defeated. According to the Xiongnu tribes 'characteristics of fleeing in all directions, there were almost no more big battles to fight in the Hexi Corridor after this battle!
They didn't have much supplies, so it was time to return to Chang 'an and report to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!
Hearing Huo Qubing's words, all the Great Han soldiers were excited.
"Yes, sir!"
They began to clean up the battlefield. The Han Dynasty had inherited the Qin system. The heads of the Xiongnu people were all military merits. They were all valuable things that they had exchanged their lives for. It could be said that everyone would be rewarded quite a bit when they returned from this battle!
Soon, the battlefield was cleared.
Li Gan and Zhao Ponu came to Huo Qubing's side!
Both of them looked excited.
Li Gan stood up and said loudly," Reporting to the General of the Flying Cavalry, this battle has been cleared!”
"Our army has won a great victory in the surprise attack on Xiutu's capital. A total of 2,352 people have died in battle, 8,906 Xiongnu cavalrymen have been beheaded, and 15 high-ranking officials have been captured, including the Xiutu prince, Jin Ri, and the Xiongnu prime minister.!!”
On the grassland, Li Gan looked at Huo Qubing, who was standing straight in the middle, and roared with his loudest voice in his life!
(Regarding this part, the historical records have a lot of controversy. It's just that this 'complete armor defeat' and 'master rate reduction' are somewhat contradictory. However, complete armor defeat is not only recorded in many places, but it's also recorded in the Emperor Wu's edict. Many people are grabbing onto the latter sentence and saying that 70% of Huo Qubing died in battle. Actually, it's really unrealistic. The 2,000-plus people I wrote might have died in battle. This battle's casualty rate might be even lower than what everyone thinks, and Huo Qubing is even more awesome than everyone thinks.)）
