"What? Huns? How could the Huns be here? A series of question marks instantly appeared on Yang Biao's face.

This is the southern part of the Western Regions, not far from Loulan.

How did the Huns suddenly appear here?

What about Wusun?

What about the turtles?

"How many?" Yang Biao hurriedly asked.

"About 100 people! There was no fighting, and we saw that some of us were running, and some of the brothers were going around with them! The scout said hurriedly.

"General Yang, this is not normal!" Zhao Tuo immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Yang Biao nodded, with so many years of experience in the army, he couldn't see that this was abnormal.

Besides, he has fought with the Huns more than once or twice, but the current style of the Huns is really uncomfortable.

But what did the Huns want to do?

He really saw this!

"The team slows down and continues to explore, there must be a main force behind the Huns, and five thousand people will go with the general to meet them!" Yang Biao arranged directly.

"General Yang, five thousand people is too little, right?" Zhao Tuo was a little worried.

"Zhao Jingluo, five thousand people is not a lot at all, you, your thinking is still stuck in more than ten years ago, and today's big man is no longer the big man of the year." Yang Biao said to Zhao Tuo with a smile, and then let people light up 5,000 people and quickly leave the team.

Even if 5,000 people are taken away, there are still 10,000 people guarding the convoy, so there is no need to worry about safety.

Even if there are more Huns, 10,000 people will be enough to resist for a long time.

As for wanting to completely swallow these 10,000 people, the Xiongnu side had to send at least 100,000 troops to make it possible.

And the Huns, or the Hu people, are they strong or not?

The benevolent see the benevolent, and the wise see the wise.

It can only be said that in the history of the war, whether it was the Warring States or the Qin Dynasty, the war between the Central Plains Dynasty and the nomads, in the frontal conflict, the casualties of the Central Plains Dynasty were actually not large.

Even if it was a field battle, even if the Xiongnu won a big victory, in this part of the battle, the Central Plains Dynasty actually maintained an advantage.

At present, there is a department within the Han army that is dedicated to studying these battle examples, not only to analyze the victorious battle cases.

At the same time, it is necessary to analyze the examples of defeats.

Why do many battles fail?

Where did you lose again?

No one cared about this before, but now, all the generals of the Han army have learned, and they will try to avoid those places that can defeat them in actual combat.

In the wars between the Central Plains Dynasty and the nomads, the defeat cases were all defeated in mobility.

And every defeat was defeated after a long period of tug-of-war.

It was not so much that the steppe people were defeated, but that their own materials or other aspects were not enough to support them in a long-term war, but because of their limited mobility ability, they could not leave the battlefield.

Either the morale is low with the increase of time, or the other party catches the loophole in the process of breaking through, or it is simply unable to run, and it is divided and surrounded by the enemy, and gradually eliminated.

Although this is also a means of warfare, in the early days of the war, when the large corps is fighting.

The Central Plains Dynasty has the upper hand, not to be mistaken, in fact, he really does.

Even if the infantry has no advantage in the face of cavalry, don't forget that the art of war was created by our ancestors, what kind of battle have you never seen?

Encountered the cavalry of the nomads in the field and had no way to deal with it?

Can you just leave it to fate?

No, just place the vehicles on the outermost part of the perimeter, and then form a huge chariot formation, in which the army is located, using the chariot formation in front of them to block the impact of the opposing cavalry.

At the same time, use the strong bow in your hand to effectively kill and damage the enemy at close range.

Your cavalry can't rush in, and when you get to the near end, you have to face crazy casualty statistics, so you ask if you can resist?

Although Li Ling in history has not happened now, Li Ling was able to resist the main force of 100,000 Xiongnu with 5,000 infantry, and there was no way to fight the main force of the Xiongnu, and there were countless casualties, although the Xiongnu finally won the victory.

But how did this victory come about?

Li Lingbu ran out of arrows, his weapons were seriously damaged, his food and grass were insufficient, and he had no reinforcements, so he had to break through.

And how did the Huns win?

After paying a large number of casualties, they still had no way to achieve victory, so they could only use their lives to consume Li Ling's materials again and again.

Finally, when Li Ling had to break through, he used the speed advantage of the cavalry to defeat it in one fell swoop, forcing Li Lingbu to surrender.

And does the current Han army need to worry about this?

Not at all.

First of all, their weapons were replaced with iron ones, which were stronger and more durable than their previous bronze weapons and less prone to damage.

Secondly, they were cavalry, which could attack the main force of the Huns from a long distance, so that it could not get close to the convoy.

In the end, even if they run, they can leave smoothly, and the Han army now has enough war horses.

The Yueshi and the war horses on the grassland were enough for the Han army to use.

Not to mention that the Han army also used Dawan horses and grassland horses to conduct cross-breeding experiments.

And how good is the Han army now?

Many people may not believe it, but in fact, a consensus has been reached within the Xiongnu.

When encountering the main force of the Han army, he can flee.

When encountering a Han army of less than 10,000 troops, if you can exceed the opponent's strength by ten times and have a high fighting spirit, you can fight, otherwise you can still flee.

After those blows two years ago, now the Xiongnu are absolutely frightened, and their self-confidence has been destroyed by Han Xin's 30,000 people.

Therefore, from this aspect, it is actually normal for the Huns to come to the Western Regions.

But anyone with a normal brain will probably choose this way.

One is to come here to make up for the losses and enhance the strength.

The second is to come here to abuse the food, restore their self-confidence, and then raise it for a few years, find a weak chicken of the Han army to abuse it, completely stabilize the hearts of the Huns, and then you can prepare for the relocation.

Yang Biao's guess was not wrong, after the Huns saw the scouts of the Han army, the part of the people who ran back was indeed to call for reinforcements.

Because the Huns learned that there was a large death zone between the Western Regions and the Han Dynasty, and this area was difficult to pass, and it was even more difficult for large troops to pass.

For this reason, the Huns even went there for themselves and found that it was indeed as they had heard.

It's really hard for a large army to get through here.

In addition, they knew that Lu Jia had brought a thousand people to make waves in the Western Regions before, so they subconsciously thought that the number of Han troops coming to the Western Regions would not be too large.

Even if the Xiongnu were beaten by the Han army in the east, don't forget that his main force actually didn't lose much, more women and logistics.

Therefore, the main force of the Huns, which was tens of thousands of moves, became even more crazy after entering the Western Regions.

In less than half a year, they had taken control of the entire Western Regions, and they found that this seemed to be a great treasure place.

The north side can be grazed, and the south side can be cultivated, and the Xiongnu prince made a suggestion.

The Xiongnu can rely on the Western Regions to build this place well, and make this place their rear base, because there is a natural barrier, so they don't have to worry too much about the Han army coming to sneak attack.

And the original population of the Western Regions is enough for the Xiongnu to develop, now they only need to develop for a few years with peace of mind, and then train the natives of the Western Regions, and then manipulate them to fight with the Han people, constantly consuming the energy of the Han people, when the Han people are exhausted, the main force of the Xiongnu attack.

So......

“？？？” The Hun generals looked at the dense Han army in front of them, and couldn't help but feel numb in their scalps.

"Didn't you say that the main force of the Han army would not come?"

"Who lied about the military situation?"

"Then shall we fight?"

"Beat your sister, don't you see so many of them? There are only 3,000 of us, so let's run away......"

The Western Regions are very large, and with the population base of the Xiongnu, it is not possible to put tens of thousands of people in every city.

It is also that Loulan is relatively close to the Han Dynasty and its location is more sensitive, so they put 3,000 people here.

Other cities were even worse, most with only a thousand or a few hundred people.

But even so, the Xiongnu firmly controlled these cities.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Yang Biao couldn't help but laugh speechlessly.

"Special mother, miscalculated ......"

"General, what shall we do?" The pro-soldiers beside him were also speechless.

I thought how many people there were in the Huns, but it made them nervous for a while, so in order to prevent problems, they brought 5,000 people out.

As a result, when I went to the place, your sister's, the Huns only had 3,000 people?

I knew that the Xiongnu only had such a small number of people, and they sent out a thousand people at most, which was the greatest respect for the Xiongnu.

"Let's go slowly, we will definitely not be able to catch up, but I estimate that the Xiongnu have completely entered the Western Regions, and they should have controlled most of the places." Yang Biao shook his head.

Even if the Han army was equipped with war horses, it still couldn't catch up with the Huns.

The reason is not because of the problem of horsemanship and war horses, but because the burden of the Han army is greater than that of the Huns, and the burden of war horses is also greater.

Running with 50 pounds on your back is the same as running with 100 pounds on your back, can the speed be the same?

"Let Guan Hu and Wang Qi chase after them, just hang them behind, don't let them go to Loulan and take too many things!" Yang Biao thought about it, but decided to send someone to chase after him.

Two thousand people to chase, the problem is not big, although the Han army has no advantage in speed, but the Huns do not dare to attack at will.

Since the Huns have all appeared here, Yang Biao naturally will not be stupid to think that they do not control Loulan.

So what we have to do now is to minimize the loss of Loulan, after all, this is the place of the Great Han, if you get an empty city, then what is the use of him?

As for Yang Biao, his mind is no longer on this, two thousand people will go out, and the remaining three thousand people will stay in this position to help the large army behind open the way, and at the same time be ready to support at any time.

Yang Biao returned to the main army, and now that the situation in the Western Regions has changed, their plans have to change accordingly.
