Chapter 286: Defeat the Huns!
Volume 1 Chapter 286 Defeat the Huns!
Next chapter
Since Zhao Haoxing's Northern Expedition, starting from Chang'an City and rushing all the way to the territory of foreign races, the time spent on the way is only one and a half days in total.
Later, it took less than three hours to wipe out nearly 30,000 elite cavalry of the Huns.
However, the rain in front of me fell for three whole days.
The heavy rain connected the whole world into one, and it seemed that there was a rather fierce hail in the middle, and the whole grassland turned into a lake.
In the past three days, Zhao Hao basically did nothing.
In addition to commanding the army, collecting the war horses left by the Huns on the battlefield, and piling up the corpses all over the mountains and fields for burning afterwards, he just drank wine and practiced in his own camp tent.
After all, in such unfavorable weather, the army could not rush with peace of mind, and it was better to stay where the soldiers were than to stumble on the way, and spend their physical strength in vain.
For three whole days, Zhao Hao and the Northern Expeditionary Army under his command were stranded on this grassland.
For an army of 50,000 men, the amount of food, grass and supplies that must be consumed every day is by no means a small number.
If it were other generals, it was estimated that they were already worried about their reserve resources at this time, but fortunately, Zhao Hao did not have this worry on his side.
However, on the Huns' side, it seems that they don't believe in this evil, relying on their understanding of the terrain of the entire area.
During these three days of heavy rain, the army can be said to have been frequently mobilized and attacked from all sides.
In the early morning of the fourth day, after the rain stopped, 80,000 troops had already gathered, and they were overwhelmingly attacking the Northern Expeditionary Army.
However, Zhao Hao's side, although he has been idle for three days and has not moved much, it does not mean that he does not know anything.
The intelligence tracking of the little tiger and the spy satellite above his head, and the abnormal movements of the Huns were naturally carried out under his nose, and there were no secrets to speak of.
According to the satellite images of Guò, the Xiongnu soldiers at this time were divided into three waves, which were from the direction of the north, northwest and northeast of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and came from the siege.
The momentum was like a tightly fitting cover, shrouded from the upper reaches of the road that the Northern Expedition army must pass.
If Zhao Hao wants to continue his Northern Expedition, he must break through this cover, face difficulties, and win this tough battle before he can make other plans
What is even more surprising is that the Huns seem to have expected that they will win this battle, and at the same time sent 80,000 troops to besiege the Northern Expeditionary Army.
In addition, another light cavalry force numbering about 3,000 men was sent all the way south, bypassing the main battalion of the Northern Expeditionary Army.
On the contrary, on the way when Zhao Hao and others came, an ambush was set up
Needless to say, just look at the other party's posture, the plan of the Huns is to do their best in one fell swoop, and the entire Northern Expeditionary Army led by Zhao Hao will be left in their own territory, which is extremely ruthless
Well, looking at the military layout of these aliens on the map, Zhao Hao also had to admit that the Huns were actually very strategic and tactical.
In such an era and cultural background, to be able to do this step is basically worthy of a strong and warlike nation, and it should have national qualities.
Even if the Xiongnu at this moment is in a period of decline, since he can persevere, he will not fail in this world.
That means that this nation still has the strength to fight with all the races in the world, and even the capital to compete for power.
It's a pity that the opponent they faced this time was Zhao Hao.
According to the information given by Xiaohu, the three sides of the north have now been surrounded, and their current encirclement is about to take shape.
Among them, the farthest of the 80,000 troops from us is the northwest camp, about 100 miles, but their side also has the largest military strength, with more than 40,000 people.
The Huns in the north are sixty or seventy miles away from us, with about 20,000 personnel, and the Hun army in the northeast is also 20,000 people, which is the closest, and is only more than 30 miles away from us.
According to the calculation of their war horses and foot distance, it is estimated that it will take two hours to slow down, and only one hour to reach the front of the main formation, forming an encirclement trend. ”
Zhao Hao said, retracting his gaze from the light curtain map in mid-air, and looked around.
The people present at this moment, in addition to Zhao Hao's own subordinates, also included almost all the generals in the Northern Expeditionary Army.
The whole scene was basically Zhao Hao talking again, and then the others were honest, listening there, and there was not much right to refute or speak at all.
"The more than 40,000 Hun troops in the northwest will be handed over to me, and I will clean them up in the shortest possible time, and if I do my best, I can do it in about an hour or two.
The northeast direction will be handed over to you, and the 20,000 people are estimated to be enough for you to kill for a while, don't take it lightly, everyone must know how to cooperate with each other, and try not to rush alone.
As for the Huns due north, leave it to the Northern Expeditionary Army, Carlos, Alice, Claire, a few of you and our brothers are responsible for suppressing each other with fire in front of the formation, not seeking to kill many enemy troops, as long as you can hold them back when the time comes.
Xu Rong, the Northern Expeditionary Army of this formation will be handed over to you to command, but it is estimated that you should not have much chance to organize a battle, as long as there is no confusion, and let the archers release two arrows at the appropriate time.
In addition, Lei Ting, you also have to take a few brothers to press the rear of the Northern Expeditionary Army to prevent the Huns who have set up an ambush on our back road to storm over, and if they really dare to come, just destroy them directly.
Okay, what's the doubt? If not, then so be it, I'm going to the northwest to meet the Huns now. ”
After some simple arrangement, this pre-war combat meeting, which seemed to be related to the life and death of more than 100,000 people, was officially declared to an end.
This is simply incredible, and the many aboriginal generals and battle commanders present were stunned.
It wasn't until after the meeting was dismissed that Zhao Hao and the others had already embarked on their own journeys, and these people reacted slightly, but they were still in a fog, and they didn't know what to do.
In fact, this can't blame someone for having to be so hasty and rash to decide the next one, which can even be called a strategic discussion of the battle.
Putting aside the personal strength of the Northern Expeditionary Army and the Xiongnu Army, there is an irreparable gap between the two sides in terms of war mode and tactical level.
Needless to say, the Huns were part of a world where feudal culture had just reached its infancy.
Whether it is in terms of tactical cultivation, the transmission of battlefield information, or the power of the weapons in hand, it is an extremely backward side.
Even if this is the world of the Three Kingdoms, even if there is an incomparable advantage and power in this world, compared to the earth in the real world.
In some cases, individual force has even reached a level that can affect the entire situation of the war.
But after all, they still have some limitations, and they have not really been able to reach the level of moving mountains and reclaiming the sea, and turning over and destroying the entire region.
In this case, the people under Zhao Hao's command naturally have a gap in system and development level in terms of the power of modern weapons and the literacy at the strategic and tactical level for the people of the Peerless Three Kingdoms World.
It was a mode of warfare that was slowly formed after two large-scale battles on a global scale, as well as with the support of the scientific and technological system, continuous time and development.
There is a huge gap between the two in their understanding of the level of war, and in this case, the outcome of the war has long been doomed.
No matter how carefully planned, it is just useless work.
So, when Zhao Hao and the others set out to meet the morning sun, they returned to their own camp with the moonlight in the sky.
This battle, which can be called tragic, ended without surprise
However, the tragic was only on the side of the Huns, and the results of Zhao Hao's Northern Expeditionary Army can only be described as brilliant.
Of the 80,000-strong Xiongnu army, less than 10,000 were able to escape from the battlefield under Zhao Hao and others.
Among the more than 10,000 deserters, the vast majority of them came from the Xiongnu army due north.
That is, the Xiongnu army that was guarded against the Northern Expeditionary Army's main formation and was guarded against by those subordinates under Zhao Hao who had not yet been transferred.
Under the suppression of artillery fire, this army was already demoralized and had no desire to attack the enemy.
Later, after receiving the news that the two fronts of his side in the northwest and northeast had been wiped out, he suddenly lost all confidence, collapsed and became a mess on the spot, and fled desperately in all directions.
So much so that Zhao Hao, who had just arrived at the battlefield, couldn't leave many people behind.
And those Hun troops who were ordered to ambush the rear of the Northern Expeditionary Army, intending to ambush and surprise attack on the way back from the defeated army that did not exist, were even more miserable.
was directly killed on the spot by Lei Ting, a chick with more than a dozen machine gunners, snipers and rocketeers, and killed them cleanly.
Well, this is actually Lei Ting, the chick, who disobeyed someone's order and acted on her own.
However, in view of the happy ending, and the area she was responsible for had little to do with the entire battlefield, she was very enlightened and forgave her
To be continued
