Chapter 122: Li Guang's Death

This is good, the Huns can't shoot the Han army, but the Han army can shoot the Huns, such a circular car formation is an upgraded version of Li Guang's shield ring array. Now we can rest assured a little, Wei Qingsheng's victory is unknown, but at least he can't lose.

Originally, the Huns waited for work at ease, and Wei Qing put a military chariot formation on the table, and the Han army became a waiter for work. As a result, the Huns were shocked at that time, they were born in the grassland, grew up in the northern wilderness, where have they seen such strange tactics.

Wei Qing repelled the first wave of the Xiongnu offensive and completely stabilized the defensive line, so he ordered the captain Gongsun Ao to lead 5,000 elite cavalry to challenge and test the strength of the Xiongnu.

Yi Zhixie, as a big single Yu, of course, did not show weakness, but immediately selected more than 10,000 of the most fierce Hun knights to fight, and ordered them to defeat Gongsun Ao's forward, immediately take advantage of the victory and impact, with speed against the strong, in one fell swoop to break through the Han army vehicle array, and then the army covered and killed, capture Wei Qing alive, then a thousand years of work can be achieved in one day!

Although the Xiongnu army was twice as large as the Han army, Wei Qing did not withdraw to Gongsun Ao because of this, nor did he send troops to reinforce it. With the long-range crossbow of the car formation as a cover, 5,000 against 10,000, it should not be a big loss.

This is called defending with attack, attacking with defense, and perfect delaying and frustration. In addition, at this time, the terrain and numbers of the Han army were at a disadvantage, and Wei Qing had to preserve his strength first, and wait for the right time to give the Xiongnu a decisive blow.

When is this appropriate time, Wei Qing's original idea was to wait for Li Guangzhao Shiqi's troops to arrive, so as to launch an outflank from the Xiongnu's flank, so that the strength of the Han army would not suffer.

However, Wei Qing miscalculated, Li Guang and they did not arrive on time, they got lost in the desert, as time went by little by little, the possibility of Li Guang and their divine soldiers falling from the sky became smaller and smaller, Wei Qing had to make a decision and seek a fighter again.

At the time of the transition of winter and spring in Mobei, the days were short and the nights were long, and soon, the sun could not bear to get off work, and it was not interested in the outcome of the war.

But it doesn't matter if it goes, the sandstorm brother is coming, the wind rolls up the yellow sand, and the sky is blowing, for a while you are the wind and I am the sand lingering to the end of the world, no one on both sides can see who clearly, the arrows and crossbows are useless, so they have to fight in close combat, scuffle, sand and blood, and the world is in chaos.

What's even more terrifying is that in some parts of the battlefield, the soft sand layer is blown by the wind, and it continues to collapse downward, swallowing the soldiers and their men and horses... Reinforcements did not arrive, and the weather changed abruptly, this was really the most dangerous and difficult battle since Wei Qing fought the Huns.

But there is no way, it is going to rain, the mother is going to get married, and no one can control the natural disasters. Once encountering such a bad situation, ordinary generals will usually only panic, but the real famous generals can not only meet the collapse of Mount Tai without changing their faces, but also find out the wonderful killing opportunities from it.

This ordinary general is Yi Zhixian, and this real famous general is Wei Qing. The first reaction in Yi Zhixian's mind at that time was to withdraw the troops first, and then fight when the wind and sand receded, he thought that Wei Qing thought the same thing.

But Wei Qing didn't think so: what a good opportunity, the desert is geographically advantageous, the Huns have the advantage, but as soon as the wind and sand come, everyone will face the same dilemma, the so-called narrow road meets the brave wins, and the master is killed by punching, Wei Qing is stable and generally does not disrupt the battle, but occasionally a dozen will have a miraculous effect.

So Wei Qing made a decision immediately, ordered all the Wugang cars to be withdrawn, and gave them all to me, and the army came out from both wings, forming a V-shaped snake formation, outflanking and encircling the Hun army. A piece of yellow sand, there is no need to pay attention to the strict formation of the advance and retreat, after the completion of the encirclement, press it desperately, kill him!

Everyone couldn't believe that this was a military order from the steady Wei Qing, but since the generals were all out of the way, then let's go out too, face the yellow sand, and rush over!

Don't be suspicious, don't be surprised. War is a field full of accidents, and any accident can happen, and this time is the most test of the wisdom and courage of the commander. And the real celebrities are often stimulated to all their potential at this time, leaving his opponents dumbfounded and frightened.

Sure enough, Yi Zhi Xianwan didn't expect Wei Qing to be so decisive, and he was stupid at the moment, but when he saw that the wind and sand around him were full of black shadows of the knights of the Han army, he came to the world like a demon army for a while, and the ghosts cried wolves howled, and the sound of killing shook the heavens and the earth.

The wind and sand concealed the roundabout route of the Han cavalry, concealed the true strength of the Han army, and also disintegrated the already unstable fighting spirit of Yi Zhixi.

So, Da Danyu, who had experienced a hundred battles, trembled for the first time, he didn't want to die, let alone die in a piece of yellow sand.

Zhao Xin was also afraid of death, and he had no shame to be the prisoner of his old boss Wei Qing, so he shouted loudly to Yi Zhi: "There are many Han soldiers, and the soldiers and horses are still strong, and the battle may not be favorable, it is better to withdraw from the battlefield, collect the soldiers, and fight again tomorrow!" ”

This was really too oblique to Yi Zhi, and he immediately ordered a retreat, and then turned his royal chariot pulled by six mules, and led hundreds of Xiongnu horsemen to break through a gap in the northwest of the Han army, and fled in a breach. A decisive battle that has been held for so long, Li Guang is absent from class, Yi Zhi leaves early, and even I feel bored for Wei Qing.

Don't blame Yi Zhilan, the chariot guards and cavalry attack, the two wings are encircled, and the wind and sand are raided, these are all tactics he has never seen; In addition, Wei Qing, who has always been cautious, suddenly became extremely bold again, and he rushed forward against the wind, such a wonderful command was really unexpected.

Therefore, although the two armies are currently undecided, psychologically the Xiongnu have been completely defeated, and Yi Zhi's evil confidant does not know the other, and he takes the initiative to lose, so fleeing is naturally his wisest choice.

Although Yi Zhiyi ran away, the Xiongnu army was still fighting with the Han army, and the sky was dark and upside down. They didn't know that their Da Shan Yu had already fled, let alone that Da Dan Yu had ordered the entire army to retreat.

In a bloody battle, the number of casualties of the Han and Hungarian armies was roughly equal, and each lost thousands of soldiers. Soon, the wind and sand dispersed, and the Huns were about to fight again, but found that Da Danyu had already abandoned the army and fled, and the dragons were leaderless and suddenly in chaos, so they broke up to the north.

The left captain of the Han army took advantage of the situation to capture several people from Shan Yu's own soldiers, and after some interrogation, Wei Qing learned that Yi Zhixian had run away early, so he quickly sent a light cavalry to pursue it overnight, and personally led the army to follow, and the horse's hooves crushed the waning moon, but could not break the loneliness between heaven and earth.

Now the Hun army fled in embarrassment, the Han army chased the north, and there was no suspense about victory, but as long as Yi Zhixian was not caught, this victory was not complete.

After that, Wei Qing sent a civil official to ask Li Guang what was going on, why did he get lost, and he ran away? Li Guang was ashamed and said: "The old man is over sixty years old, and he doesn't want to be questioned by the knife and pen officials. After saying that, he wiped his neck and committed suicide.

A generation of famous generals has fallen, sad and lamentable!

However, although the Xiongnu were disabled, the losses of the Han Dynasty were not small, with tens of thousands of casualties, more than 100,000 horses, and countless costs for transporting and manufacturing military chariots and armor. And due to the long distance, the Han army was unable to bring back all the materials captured.

Therefore, after this battle, the Han Dynasty was financially embarrassed, and it was difficult for the horses to continue, and it was no longer possible to support a cavalry battle of such a scale, and the Xiongnu also saved a glimmer of life.

But even so, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty generously rewarded the meritorious soldiers with 500,000 gold; and benefited Huo to go sick to 5,800 households, Zhao Ponu and Zhao Anji 300 households; At the same time, Feng Lu Bode was the Marquis of Pi Li, Weishan was the Marquis of Yiyang, Fulu Branch was the Marquis of Du, Yi Jijing was the Marquis of Zhongli, Li Dang was the Marquis of Guannei, and Xu Zi was the chief of the Jue.

The strange thing is that Wei Qing, who also has great merits, has not been sealed, and neither have his generals, nor have any of them. Knowing this, what is the use of Li Guang and Gongsun Ao fighting for this striker!

To say that Gongsun Ao is also quite unlucky and pitiful, Yu Li Guang is not far behind, he was named a general four times in his life, six times to attack the Huns, only in the raid on the right Xianwang in the battle of the meritorious marquis, the rest of the battle is either futile or defeat, many times bankrupt, pay ransom, cut jobs for the people to save their lives.

It seems that if this person is incapable, it is useless to meet no matter how big a noble person is, as evidenced by the tragedy of Gongsun Ao's life.

In addition, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also awarded Wei Qing and Huo Qubing the rank of the Great Sima. Da Sima, who is under the prime minister, but above the prime minister, is actually the head of the civil and military officials of the imperial court. In this way, Huo Quzhi and Wei Qing are on an equal footing at the pinnacle of official positions, and if they are counted, Huo Biwei has more than 5,000 households. It seems that the wind direction in Chang'an is about to change.

As a result, the officials who had done their best to flatter Wei Qing were all transferred to Huo Quai's disciples, and all of them were rewarded by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

In such a political environment, Huo Quzhi, who has never been interested in government affairs, also began to actively defend the interests of the Wei family. In order to ensure the status of the crown prince Liu Ju, Huo Qubing wrote to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty "Please Ask the Three Feudal Kings Table", canonized the prince as the king, and let them go to their own fiefdom.

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ hussar general laughed and passed on the twenty-second word that Gongsun Ao came to see Liu Che, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, you can't blame me for being lost, the main thing is that the army of a rue has fled when they saw me, and they can't find them." Don't praise me too much, it will make me lose my motivation to move forward. ”

Liu Che's face was already as black as the theater version of Bao Qingtian at the moment, and he scolded with his head and face: "Run away from your sister when you hear the wind!" You think you're a hussar general! Do you know which green onion you are? If you don't know the road and don't know how to go out with a human flesh GPS, you're an idiot! ”

Gongsun Ao was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak, Liu Che scolded enough, and said: "For the sake of Zhongqing's plea for you, you will get out of here if you pay the fine, Lao Tzu has been fighting a war in the past few years, and his hands are very tight!" ”

Gongsun Ao took the money that Wei Qing lent him, and quickly paid the fine to Liu Che to save his life.
