Chapter 360: Dahan is even better
Han Xin, who attacked, did not go out blindly.
Instead, he asked Achar to choose the young man of the Hundred Moon Clan and replace it with a war horse, of course, the kind without stirrups and saddles.
Scattered in six battalions as guides.
In terms of the experience of fighting on the grassland, the Han army was naturally inferior to the Yueshi people.
When it was time to ask for someone, Han Xin naturally wouldn't say that he was thin-skinned and couldn't do such a thing.
It's just a little higher, just change the way.
It doesn't matter if he wants to be shameless, the goal can be achieved.
Even, Han Xin was already thinking about whether he needed to recruit a group of Yueshi people and let them be the guides for the next Han army's expedition?
The Huns in front ran again, and the Han cavalry behind were chasing.
Along the way, the army led by Han Xin saw a lot of lonely war horses and the corpses of the Hun cavalry lying not far away.
This is also to be expected, almost one-on-one hunting.
The physical strength of the Han army's war horses has an advantage, you say the gap between horse breeds?
I'm sorry, this batch of war horses of the Han army is the war horses of the Yue people, if you really want to talk about the gap, there is really not much, that is, the equipment of the Han army is heavier, so the weight of the war horses is more.
But with such a little more load, it is not something that can be offset by the Hun war horses that have run for dozens of miles.
Soon, Han Xin gathered a large number of cavalry that had been pursuing earlier.
Almost all of them could no longer find the enemy in their sight, so they began to return the same way, bringing the horses back by the way.
Well, at the same time, he is cutting off the ears of the Huns who were killed before, as a way to prove his military exploits.
Cutting off people's heads as war exploits or something, that was an ancient practice many years ago, and it was too cruel, for the soldiers, with a head on their bodies, isn't it heavy?
How can it be convenient to carry one ear?
The Han Dynasty unified the provisions of the left ear, which also cut off the possibility of one head counting two military exploits.
"General, you can see the camp from this big slope." Achar said to Han Xin intimately.
"How far?" Han Xin looked at the big slope in front of him and asked.
This was Han Shin's first time in the grassland.
And the grassland also broke his perception of the grassland.
Originally, I thought that the imaginary grassland should be a flat river and endless.
But the reality is that in many places, he is not endless.
It's more like a large mound with a bunch of smaller mounds, sometimes high and sometimes low.
The better part is that the mound is higher, but the slope is not too steep.
The terrain is a bit sinner, that is, the mound is also high and the slope is steep.
The height of this large mound in front of him was almost four or five hundred meters high.
Of course, Han Xin could not realize that in fact, he was on the plateau now, and this four or five hundred meters was just a relative height.
"There are four small slopes over this, and it will take about half an hour?" Achar said.
"Hmm!" Han Xin nodded, and then asked, "Can you pass on the left and right?" ”
The reason for this question is that there are some places where people can't get by.
Therefore, if you are not familiar with the terrain and come out to command the battle, there will definitely be problems.
And the Han Dynasty in history, at the beginning of the attack on the Xiongnu, made a lot of mistakes because of this problem.
The case of walking up to the front and finding that this road is not working is already good.
For example, the general Li Guang with the army is the most maddening.
But now, none of this exists.
First, Lu Jia was very prescient, not only engaged in poisonous plants on the grassland, but also engaged in a set of survival rules and skills to identify directions.
Although the Han army has not fully studied it thoroughly, it still understands it more or less.
Second, there are Achar's Yue Clan guides by their side, and this is their pastoral area, so it is even more impossible to get lost.
"Yes!"
"Order the front army to outflank the left, center, and left, center-right, center-right, and center-right to the right, and the rest of the people to reduce their speed and meet the enemy head-on with the general!" Han Shin immediately gave the order.
His purpose in this battle was to completely annihilate the Huns, and then bring back the spoils of war.
For this purpose, it is not possible to charge directly head-on with 30,000 men.
He had to let people outflank him from both sides, cut off the back route of the Huns' retreat, and then surround and destroy them.
Otherwise, 30,000 people charged directly head-on, and the Huns were not fools, knowing that they couldn't beat and didn't run?
Head iron or what's the drop?
"Report ......"
A quarter of an hour later, the scouts in front returned to report.
"General, I found the Huns ahead, and there are a lot of cattle, sheep and horses, probably ......"
The scout paused, scratched his head with a tangled face, and then said, "Anyway, there are many, I have never seen so many, dense, all over the mountains. ”
"How many are there?" Han Shin didn't care about the loot.
"Probably a few thousand people, they're scattered." The scout said.
"General, they are controlling the herd of cattle, sheep and horses, and not letting them run around." Achar, who is proficient in herding skills, quickly explained.
Grazing on the grassland is also a manual work, and several people need to stand in different directions and watch, otherwise there is a sheep or a cow or horse or something running out and you don't see it, and then there will be a herd.
Therefore, when grazing, if the size of the horse is more than 100 heads, it has always required more than two people, and the more the number, the more people are needed, but in comparison, the more the number, the less the need for people.
Thinking of this, Achar seemed to realize another possibility.
Then he subconsciously asked, "How many mountains do you see?" ”
"Four or five?" The scout thought about it carefully.
"No, this is at least a million cattle and sheep, and our tribe doesn't have so many, it should be that they attacked other tribes and drove cattle and sheep over." Achar said immediately.
The hill here is huge, unlike the mountains in other places, which are just small gentle mounds.
The area of a small mound may be as large as tens of thousands of acres, and the small one may be thousands of acres.
If it is normal grazing, it is naturally impossible to make the cattle and sheep so dense, only at night.
And now it was still early in the evening, and the Huns were clearly ready to retreat at any time.
"Good! Great goodness! Han Xin suddenly laughed.
I didn't expect the Huns to be so cute, and they had already helped them gather the spoils of war.
And now, the Han army only needs to attack, and when the time comes, they can bring back the loot with their heads, and they can be brought back one by one.
The galloping movement of tens of thousands of war horses finally alarmed the Huns, who thought that the people they had gone to pursue had returned.
But when the figure of the Han army appeared in sight, the Huns realized the seriousness of the problem.
Of course, there are also people who realize that something is wrong earlier.
That is, the sound of war horses galloping was heard almost in all directions.
But the bigwigs didn't care, and then there was such an embarrassing scene.
However, it was not only the Huns who were embarrassed, but also Han Xin.
There was too much loot, and the number of enemies was too small and too scattered.
How will this battle be fought?
Straight punch?
The cattle, sheep and horses were shocked, and they were scattered, and then they still had a headache?
So how to fight?
Han Xin suddenly felt that this way of fighting seemed to have broken through his own cognition and touched his blind spot in knowledge.
But Han Xin wasn't too embarrassed, didn't he have a teacher by his side?
"When you Yue Clan people encounter this situation, how do you usually fight?" Han Xin asked Achar with a big guy commenting posture.
This is the difference between awesome people and ordinary people.
Awesome people will use a pointing attitude to secretly learn your skills, while ordinary people can only use the way of seeking advice to solve doubts.
"Fence up, kill a few, and then they surrender......" Achar didn't realize that Han Xin was stealing the division, so he said directly.
What other methods can be used to deal with such rear personnel?
Of course, let him see no hope of escaping, and then let him see the fact that he can't be defeated, what else can you do if you don't surrender?
Besides, surrender is not without a way out, although it is a little miserable.
But this kind of surrender of thousands of soldiers generally does not treat them as slaves, but more to appease and surrender, so that they can be used for their own purposes.
After all, the prime of life on the grassland is still very popular, and they often don't fight to the death.
For the tribe, once the battle is empty, its own tribe is gone.
Even if they are lucky enough to survive, it is basically certain that they will not be able to get ahead in 20 years.
Achar was planning to say something more, which would also highlight their strengths and make them look less down.
It is also a fig leaf for the fact that he fled frantically before.
Then, Achar's eyes suddenly widened in disbelief.
"Huns, why are you teasing me?" Achar looked ahead with a bewildered face and endless despair, even if he killed him, he couldn't believe it.
And Han Xin also noticed the change ahead.
The Huns began to assemble, and there were not as many as expected.
There were only about 2,000 people, and there were tens of thousands of captives behind them, men, women, and children.
This posture is not normal.
And what is even more abnormal is that the Huns stepped off their horses and then threw their weapons on the ground.
This is not surrender, what is it for?
"Hahaha, it seems that the Han is still better, this Hun saw the Han army, and he didn't even have the courage to fight!" Han Xin suddenly laughed and laughed, feeling a little speechless, but also very comfortable.
What is speechless is that he brought so many people out, but he didn't get the actual battle.
You must know that actual combat is his real purpose, where can he have experience without actual combat?
Comfortable because you won without a fight and got so much loot.
"That's, that's, the Han army is mighty, the Huns will never dare to attack, they just dare to bully the soft and fear the hard......" Achar complimented with a smile on his face.
Then there was another crazy spit in my heart.
30,000 heavy armored cavalry against more than 2,000 Hun cavalry with almost no protection, and it has already formed an encirclement trend.
How stupid are the Huns' heads to fight you?
