Although... the fighting prowess of the Northern Xiongnu soldiers left a deep psychological scar on the Zhao army!
However, Jiang Ming's core troops looked down on these Northern Xiongnu armies from the bottom of their hearts!
Your fighting strength is very strong... but who are you comparing yourself to?
Wasn't your former chieftain Yixie Er powerful back then?
We still managed to achieve a 1:3 kill ratio: that is, we wiped out 200,000 of your troops at the cost of 60,000!
Therefore, as soon as Zhao Yong gave the order, Jiang Ming's 100,000 elite troops charged forward, and the two sides immediately engaged in an unprecedentedly fierce battle!
......
Sahehan was known for his cunning.
How could he not have expected Jiang Ming to do something like this tonight?
Jiang Ming is a master of sneak attacks...
When Yixieer besieged the Great Xianbei Mountain, Saheihan was right beside Yixieer...
He had personally witnessed how Jiang Ming and his gang carried out night raids!
Back then, Yi Xie Er's sons were all incredibly brave, covering his retreat and helping him escape...
However, his good son-in-law was not like his sons, who were "individual heroes" and followed their father-in-law around like the wind, running away faster than anyone else...
He thought of a different approach and realized that Jiang Ming would definitely find his method foolish...
His soldiers were exhausted after a long day and had little energy for the evening, so he was placed in the rear camp.
Jiang Ming will most likely launch a sneak attack tonight...
As it turned out, Jiang Ming actually came that night!
In fact, to avoid this situation... Sahehan had already made arrangements for two shifts!
That is, the two groups of people are separated during the day and at night, and half of the army must always be maintained so that they always have extremely strong combat power!
That rear camp was indeed where the heavily armored cavalrymen who transported soil during the day were housed...
But when they died, Sahehan felt no pity whatsoever!
Because they were all Turks, not the core troops of Sakhalin!
His core troops had already been deployed to the front lines...
To put it bluntly, those people in the rear camp were just waiting to be killed by Jiang Ming!
If anything happens in the rear camp, the men in the front camp will immediately rush back and surround Jiang Ming!
But the problem is... no matter how much they planned, they didn't expect Jiang Ming to keep launching attacks from the rear...
That means that they originally expected Jiang Ming to charge in from the rear camp, then single-mindedly pierce the Xiongnu's camp like a long knife, and then encircle him from both flanks, completely surrounding him!
In reality, after Jiang Ming stabbed the Northern Xiongnu army in the back, he didn't keep stabbing it into their "heart." Instead, he pulled it out and then tried to stab it again from a different angle...
Thus, Sahehan's pre-planned tactic of luring the enemy deep into his territory, surrounding them, and annihilating them failed!
Jiang Ming was like an annoying mosquito, biting here and there...
Moreover, just as Sahehan's army was searching everywhere for the commander of this sneak attack and preparing to completely surround them, at this moment, from the "rear"—that is, directly in front of Yunzhou City—an army of 100,000 men attacked again, completely ruining Sahehan's plan to surround Jiang Ming!
Now... let's not talk about tactics anymore, it's all about individual combat strength to fight to the death!
Here, Sahehan overlooked another crucial issue!
That is... his soldiers aren't really strong; they're just relying on certain "contraband" to stay alert!
However, in order to lure Jiang Ming's raiding force... they didn't light any cigarettes late at night!
Previously, it had only been checked once at dusk... The entire night was quiet in the military camp!
It's almost 5 a.m. now, and the army has been woken up... It's the time when their 'smoking cravings' kick in, and the soldiers are finding it hard to perform at their best!
As soon as the main forces of the two armies clashed, Jiang Ming's soldiers immediately demonstrated their advantage!
The soldiers of the Southern Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Yan were also puzzled... The people of Zhao said that the soldiers of the Northern Xiongnu were like fearless demons, with extremely fierce fighting power!
But this exchange felt rather absurd, just so-so!
They were slightly stronger than ordinary soldiers, but definitely not as extraordinary as the Zhao people claimed...
The fierce battle continued...
The sky gradually brightened...
Standing atop the city wall, Zhao Yong counted the corpses on the battlefield ahead and realized that... his side indeed had the advantage in terms of casualties!
In battle, especially at night, mutual identification is crucial between two armies!
Otherwise, the soldiers of both armies look almost the same and wear the same clothes. How would I know if you are friend or foe?
Jiang Ming was very cunning. Before he came to Zhao, he had already had his men mass-produce a large number of traditional leather armors of the Northern Xiongnu, and then his main force wore them almost exactly like the Northern Xiongnu!
But there was one difference: his soldiers all wore a red scarf around their left arm...
In this way, it is easy to distinguish between friend and foe!
These Northern Xiongnu soldiers were initially quite confused, unable to distinguish who the other party was.
Why is he dressed the same as me, and even raising his knife to look at me?
Moreover, according to the descriptions of the Southern Xiongnu soldiers, the red scarf tied on their left arm was a signal that the Northern Xiongnu were about to launch a decisive battle...
