The commotion in Huizhou City caused the Huns to panic.
The Huns seemed to have not expected the Zhou army to break out so early in the morning, and there was a slight panic in the camp.
By the time they hurriedly put on their armor and mounted their horses, they were ready.
Geng Fu has already led the Zhou army to a relatively advantageous position.
A small slope allows them to look down from a high vantage point.
Shieldmen, swordsmen, gunmen, ... rows and rows of them were neatly arranged in a tight formation, just like an angry hedgehog.
Dong Xuan nodded secretly on the city wall.
Although Geng Fu was just a grain inspector who was more of a civilian, he was also a man who knew military affairs.
I just don’t know how the Huns will deal with the Zhou army trying to “break through” and attract firepower.
The gate of the Hun camp in the distance slowly opened.
Five hundred riders filed out.
"Tsk tsk tsk."
Dong Xuan stroked his beard. This group of Huns is a little different.
They only sent 500 people to fight.
Do you think that these 500 people alone can defeat the Zhou army defending in formation?
Or were they worried that I would see through their strengths and weaknesses, so they only sent out 500 men?
The 500 Hun cavalrymen did not launch a blind attack, but were cruising around, looking for flaws in the formation, drawing their bows and shooting a few arrows from time to time.
They rode their horses around and made several attempts. On the Da Zhou side, except for a few unlucky guys who were injured, most of the arrows were blocked by the shieldmen.
No flaws were revealed.
Since there were only 500 people allocated, Geng Fu did not take the precious archers out of the city.
Therefore, when faced with the harassment of the Huns, they could only watch helplessly and wait for the Huns to launch an attack.
But this time, the Huns did not play by the rules.
Faced with a piece of fat meat being put into his mouth, he was not in a hurry, but just hovered around it, with no intention of taking action at all.
This is not what Geng Fu wants to see.
He immediately carried a carved bow on his back and held a long sword in his hand, stepped out of the tortoise shell formation and began to provoke.
The Huns were also a fierce and aggressive people. How could they tolerate such provocation?
He immediately rushed out on horseback and headed straight for Geng Fu.
When four legs hit two legs, the impact alone can kill someone.
Geng Fu drew his bow and shot the eagle directly at the Xiongnu.
She Diao'er suddenly flashed and hid under the horse's belly, thus avoiding the arrow.
When he was within the range of the bow and arrow, Shediaer was about to stick his head out to fight back, but was shot through the neck by a sharp arrow that came through the air.
The Hun fell heavily off his horse.
"Good! Good! Good!"
The morale of the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty was greatly boosted.
So what if the Huns are good at shooting?
Won't he die at the hands of the general?
The Huns became even more enraged and sent out another rider.
This rider's archery skills were even better. He bent his bow and drew his arrow with incredible swiftness. He shot four arrows after his horse had rushed out seven steps, leaving Geng Fu no room to dodge. It was obvious that he wanted to avenge his brother.
Geng Fu was obviously very confident in his archery skills. He did not dodge or evade, but shot out four arrows with one bow, just in time to shoot down all four arrows of the Huns.
The Xiongnu cavalrymen were immediately enraged. They dropped their short bows, picked up their spears, and charged straight at Geng Fu.
Geng Fu was about to dodge when a figure as big as an iron tower suddenly jumped out in front of him.
He grabbed the spear shaft and pulled down the Hun cavalry who was charging at him with the help of his horse.
Geng Fu took advantage of the situation and killed the Hun with a sword, then looked at the man in front of him and asked.
"Cheng Yaojin, why are you here?"
Cheng Yaojin grinned and said, "I ate too much this morning, so I came out to stretch my muscles."
He was born with supernatural strength and had been chopping wood for a living since he was young, which made him very strong.
Geng Fu patted Cheng Yaojin on the shoulder and said, "What a brave man."
Geng Fu and Cheng Yaojin jumped on their horses, galloped a few steps, and shouted at the Xiongnu leader, "You little brat, do you dare to fight me?"
The Huns had suffered two losses and were unwilling to play this kind of game with the two men.
Arrows rained down on Geng Fu and Cheng Yaojin.
Cheng Yaojin laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha! You bastard son, that's all you can do."
He immediately followed Geng Fu and rode away on horseback.
The Huns did not get angry. Instead, they sent several people to head towards the camp, seemingly seeking help.
Dong Xuan now understood that the main force of the Huns was not here.
He immediately ordered his personal guards to call back the troops.
The Huns did not stop them and let them return to the city.
"How is it?" Geng Fu ran straight up to the city wall, not even bothering to drink a sip of water, and got straight to the point.
Dong Xuan frowned and said, "The main force of the Xiongnu is not here."
Geng Fu nodded, which was consistent with his judgment. He asked puzzledly: "What exactly do they want to do?"
"This isn't the full moon period, yet they're actually taking the initiative to harass the Great Zhou?"
When the Huns fought, they usually watched the waxing and waning of the moon.
When the moon is full, attack with all your might; when it is waning, it is time to retreat.
This is due to both traditional and religious factors, as well as the supplies they carry with them.
The Great Wall defense line, with its strong fortifications and cleared fields, stretches out along the border like a long snake.
This has always been a huge headache for the Huns. Before breaking through this line of defense, they basically could not get any supplies.
But this line of defense is not easy to break through.
Inside the defense line are densely packed fortresses and cities of all sizes, which are connected to form huge bunkers.
Faced with such a fortress, they had no good solution.
Often, one can only grit their teeth and swallow the bitter pill, grit their teeth and fight their way out.
After all, once you break through and enter the core area of the Great Zhou, there will be plenty of slaves and treasures!
