The east wind rises, and the war drums beat.

The rumbling drums kept stirring back and forth over the battlefield, as if they were about to enter the sky. The neat and orderly rhythm slammed in front of every Zhao cavalry, making their mood involuntarily become aroused.

Teams of Zhao State cavalry began to rush out from the formation that was as dark as a tide. Teams gathered into two long dragons on both sides of the left and right, and red flags swept across the sides of the Hun army not far away.

"Swish swish swish swish!" With a few extremely sharp sounds that almost pierced the eardrums, several whistles shot out from the Xiongnu formation. Teams of Xiongnu cavalry also rode out and shouted loudly to meet the enemy of Zhao.

The curtain of war slowly opened.

Li Mu stood on a small hill surrounded by many personal guards, and this was also the highest point he could find, which was used to facilitate observation of the movements of the battlefield.

Long before the Zhao army began to beat drums, the two armies had sent hundreds of cavalry to run back and forth in front of their formation, and then competed with the riding and shooting skills of both sides. At this moment, both Li Mu and Wu Wei Shanyu could not see anything clearly in front of the sight, except for endless smoke or smoke.

Under such circumstances, the two coaches could not do the real battle situation in front of the formation with their naked eyes, and could only learn from the scouts' reports.

Under the hillside, the scouts kept running back and forth, bringing back one news after another to Li Mu.

"Grandmaster, the left-wing army has begun to fight with the right-wing of the Huns!"

"Grandmaster, the right-wing cavalry has begun to fight with the left wing of the Huns!"

"Grandmaster, the left-wing cavalry are fighting fiercely!"

"Grandmaster, the right-wing cavalry has begun to push forward!"

Since both sides are mainly light cavalry and have just begun to contact, the act of rushing forward will naturally not happen.

This was also the order of Wu Wei Shanyu. Since the Zhao people knew that the Zhao people had black technologies such as the thunder and grenades, the Huns would naturally not be foolish about playing close to Zhao people.

Amid countless dust and smoke, the cavalrymen on both sides ran back and forth, constantly pulling the longbows in their hands and shooting arrows, and rushed towards the other side.

In terms of shooting skills, the Hun cavalry should have the upper hand, but due to the successive defeats, a large number of elite Huns suffered heavy losses. Although the remaining Hun cavalry are able to skillfully cavalry and shoot, in terms of power, not only is it far from the Hun Empire in history that made the Han Dynasty coward three generations of emperors, but it is also incomparable to the Hun cavalry that led the army south ten years ago.

On the other hand, the Zhao cavalry on the other side was completely different. After so many years of war, the Zhao cavalry under Li Mu was quite complex, with Linhu, Loufan, Yiqu, the Huns in the south of the Mo, and a small number of Donghu and Qiang people. Among the 40,000 cavalry, at least 30,000 cavalry came from the northwest or northern nomadic peoples of Zhao. Only the ace armored cavalry in Li Mu's hands mostly adopted Zhao cavalry from the original Zhao cavalry because of their physical requirements.

In terms of proficiency, the cavalry and shooting of the ethnic minority cavalry on the border of Zhao State that formed the Zhao State light cavalry were completely different from the Huns. Many of the veterans had participated in many wars against the Huns, Qin State, and the Qiang people in Wusun Yuezhi. The first-hand shooting technique had been mastered in the war.

In addition, the Zhao army, whether it is longbows, arrows, leather-armored war horses and other materials, are more sophisticated and high-quality than the Huns. This battle of cavalry and shooting technology between the Central Plains dynasty and the nomadic empire actually took the Zhao cavalry from the Central Plains to gain advantages as the direction of the entire war.

Wuwei Chanyu also found a hill similar to Li Mu's side as the commanding heights command center, but the Xiongnu Chanyu's face did not look so good.

He was also a famous Xiongnu scout rushed over and reported the latest battle situation to Wuwei Shanyu.

"The Great Shanyu, the left wing is under great pressure, and four thousand cavalry have been defeated by the people of Zhao!"

"The Great Shanyu, the Right Sage King on the right wing, came urgently. Three thousand cavalry had been repelled, and about two thousand cavalry troops in the Zhao State were also destroyed!"

"The Great Shanyu, the left wing..."

"Enough!" Wu Wei Shanyu finally couldn't bear it anymore and roared angrily: "Where are the armored cavalry? Where are the armored cavalry of Zhao?"

The Shanyu who could become the Shanyu, especially the Shanyu who could successfully integrate the Xiongnu tribes through a bloody battle and form the prototype of a country, obviously could not be a war idiot.

In fact, for today's battle, Uwei Shanyu had been preparing for a long time.

The reason for attacking the Western Regions was not because Wu Wei Shanyu was afraid of going south, but because Wu Wei Shanyu knew that the newly born and weak Xiongnu Kingdom was not enough to compete with Zhao State. He had to obtain new blood from the Western Regions to replenish his lost national strength in order to have hope to go south again in the near future to compete with the people of Zhao State.

Although Wuwei Shanyu was not prepared enough now, for him who had already retreated, he could only give up with the people of Zhao.

In Wuwei Shanyu's view, the real key lies in the armored cavalry of Zhao State!

The armored cavalry is an invincible ace in Li Mu's hands. It can always destroy all the enemies in front of him. It is the strongest cavalry at that time.

Any advantage has its own disadvantages. As long as you can find a way to defeat the armored cavalry of the Zhao people, the morale of the Zhao army will inevitably be severely hit. At that time, Wuwei Shanyu will have another counterattack, and victory will not be impossible for the Huns!

In order to target the armored cavalry, Uwei Shanyu thought about it for a long time and formulated some plans very targetedly.

The Hun Khan was confident that as long as his plan was successful, the armored cavalry would not be defeated!

But the problem is that the war has been fought for almost half an hour, and the Zhao army's central army has not moved, but there is no trace of armored cavalry on both sides of the left and right wings!

This is obviously very different from Li Mu's military use in the past, and it was completely beyond the expectations of Wu Wei Shanyu.

You should know that if it were normal, Li Mu would have used armored cavalry as the vanguard to rush forward wildly!

"Cunning Li Mu!" Wu Wei Shanyu cursed angrily. After struggling for a while, he finally gritted his teeth and issued an order: "Come on, let the heavy cavalry of this Shanyu attack and attack the Zhao army's central army!"
