The Young Prince Chapter 27 Battle I
Neishi Luan Bu and Long Zhou Zao were under the order of Emperor Wen, so they immediately led the army to the border.
When the two marched in a hurry, the two marched side by side, and Luan Bu asked, "What does the Marquis of Long think about this battle?" ”。
"In my opinion, this battle is not optimistic, our Han army is mostly foot soldiers, only less than 20,000 cavalry, and the Huns are all elite cavalry, which is definitely not good for our army.
When Benhou followed Emperor Gao to conquer the world, in the battle of Pengcheng, Xiang Yu could break the ...... of 500,000 foot soldiers of our Han army with 30,000 fine cavalry.
"Long thinks about the marquis, this battle is absolutely invincible?" , Luan Bu said.
Although Luan Bu is also a person who has experienced the dispute between Chu and Han, but because of his ineffectiveness, he cannot be crowned marquis, this time the Son of Heaven appointed him as a general, originally wanted to make meritorious contributions in one fell swoop, and was able to be crowned marquis, Zhou Zao's words made him a little disappointed......
Therefore, Emperor Wen gave the tiger talisman to Zhou Zao before leaving, so that Zhou Zao was the main commander in the army.
"Hahaha, there is no need to worry about internal history, our army has 100,000 foot soldiers, and there are thousands of chariots, it is not impossible to win, and the courage to fight is also, how can you easily defeat without fighting."
Zhou Zao's words rekindled a glimmer of hope for Luan Bu.
…………………………………………………………
On the other side, Yunzhong County has become a Shura hell at this time, where the Huns keep burning, killing and looting, and Yunzhong County is full of corpses, and the people who are chasing and killing for the Huns are all over the place......
And the military minister Shan Yuzheng led his guards to wander in the city in the clouds, only to see a Hun soldier galloping on a horse.
"Report to Da Danyu, subordinates and others have found traces of Wei Shang."
"Oh? He was finally found, where is this person? ”。
"At first, this man led his army to engage our army in the east of the city, and was defeated, so he led hundreds of light cavalry to flee to Taiyuan County, and Captain Durhan has led a thousand cavalry to chase him, and he will definitely be able to behead this man under his horse."
The military minister Shan Yu said to this person, "Okay, you go and see if Fuqu and the others find the granary of Yunzhong County, and order him to divide his troops to transport the grain storage of the granary in Yunzhong back to the royal court!" Then they came here to assemble".
"Obey the order, Da Danyu", the man saluted, and rode away.
At this time, Wei Shang, who had fled all the way, had fled to the place where Taiyuan County and Yunzhong met.
Wei Shang rode on horseback and saw that the soldiers on the side were exhausted, so he gasped and said, "All the soldiers... At this time, it is not the time to rest, quickly follow me to Taiyuan City, and we can rest a little when we get to the city."
At this moment, only the sound of rushing and killing behind him was heard, and indeed Durhan led the Hun cavalry to chase after him.
I saw Durhan riding his horse and shouting with a knife: "Wei Shangxiu is leaving, Captain Bendu will definitely cut off your head and send it to Da Dan for drinking!" ” 。
When Wei Shang saw this, his heart was already half cold, "Could it be that God wants me to die here."
The guard beside Wei Shang said: "My lord, I will block the Hun cavalry, please flee quickly."
Without waiting for Wei Shang to react, this person and a group of guards went to Durhan......
At this time, the Han army day and night has also marched to Taiyuan County, Luan Bu and Zhou Zao ordered the soldiers to rest in situ, ordered the army to bury the pot in situ to make rice, and when the food is finished, they will continue to march, the two of them are discussing the tactics of war in the big tent, only to hear the scout outside the camp to report, "General, urgent military situation, thirty miles north of the big tent found someone fighting with the Hun cavalry."
As soon as Zhou Zao heard this, he immediately summoned Zhang Han, the captain of the Tun cavalry, who was in charge of the cavalry, and ordered him to lead the army to attack the Xiongnu quickly.
Wei Shang saw that all the guards were under the blade of the rest of the Huns, so he had to flee in tears, but at this time, Wei Shang saw a pair of men and horses galloping from the south......
I saw Zhang Han, the captain of the Tun cavalry, ordering: "Soldiers, follow me to kill and exterminate this group of Hun cavalry!" ”。
Wei Shang saw a general dressed in black armor with a glorious and heroic face, leading the Han Dynasty cavalry to pass in front of him and rush to the Hun soldiers behind him.
Suddenly, Durhan and a group of Hun soldiers were surrounded, Durhan did not panic when he saw this, but raised his scimitar and said with a smile: "Haha, my big-breasted slave warriors, how can these Han Dynasty troops be the opponents of my big-breasted slave elite cavalry, follow me to kill!" Kill!! ”
This time, Zhou Zao ordered Zhang Han to lead the cavalry of 5,000 to surround this group of Hun cavalry, although five times the Huns, but the Han army has just arrived in Taiyuan County, has not yet rested, people are sleepy and lack of horses, after hearing the news, they rushed out to fight, and the cavalry is far inferior to the Huns, the two sides are fighting equally, and they can't hold each other.
Seeing that the Han army was several times larger than himself, Durhan knew that even if he could win, it would definitely be a tragic victory, and there was no possibility of annihilation, so he quickly gathered a group of people and horses to violently attack the weak place of the Han army's encirclement, and as soon as he rushed out, he immediately rode his horse and fled.
Zhang Han saw that the Xiongnu had fled and did not go to pursue, so he ordered his corporal to count the number of soldiers, treat the wounded soldiers, and ordered people to go to the camp to report to the general.
"Who are you, why did the Hun cavalry chase you down".
Wei Shang wiped the blood on his face with his sleeve, and replied with a wheez: "I am Wei Shang, the Taishou of Yunzhong, but you are the defender of Taiyuan?" ”。
Zhang Han hugged his fists and saluted and said, "It turned out to be the Taishou in the clouds, and it would have been Zhang Han, the captain of the Northern Army, who heard that the scouts had reported that there were Xiongnu soldiers here, so he was ordered by the general Zhou Zao to lead the army to fight with the Xiongnu."
The lieutenant and the taishou are both officials of less than 2,000 stones, and Gu Weishang and Zhang Han should be of the same rank.
Wei Shang was surprised: "Northern Military Captain? Could it be that the troops sent by the imperial court have arrived in Taiyuan County?"
"Wei Taishou is right, the army has arrived in Taiyuan day and night, and is now stationed twenty miles outside Taiyuan City to rest."
"That's very good, how about I hope the general will take me to see the Marquis of Longxi?"
"Wei Taishou rest assured, Ben will take you here."
Outside Taiyuan City, in the barracks of the army, Zhang Han led Wei Shang into the tent.
Zhang Han bowed down and said: "The last general Zhang Han came to hand over his life, and the last general led my Han army with 5,000 elite cavalry but did not exterminate this small group of Huns, did not complete the general's order, and came to accept the guilt."
Luan Bu opened his mouth and said: "Tun cavalry captain, please get up, my Han army's cavalry tactics are not as good as the Huns, this is not your fault."
On the side, Hou Zhouzao also said: "What Luan Neishi said is good, please get up."
It's not all because the two of them don't punish Zhang Han, it's just that the northern army and the southern army are all directly subordinate to the army of the Son of Heaven, and no one can be mobilized without the order of the Son of Heaven.
Those who can be any lieutenant in the Northern Army or the Southern Army are all confidants of the Son of Heaven, and they will definitely be hated by the Son of Heaven if they are punished without authorization.
Zhang Han got up a little ashamed and said, "General Xie! ”。
Pointing to the ragged Wei Shang on the side, he said: "General, this is Wei Shang in the clouds, and the soldiers of the Huns are chasing and killing Wei Taishou, so they came here."
Wei Shang immediately leaned over and saluted: "I have seen two generals in Xia Wei Shang, and now the border is urgent, and I hope that the two generals will send troops quickly and gallop to the border."
Zhou Zao said: "Wei Taishou doesn't have to be anxious, Sun Tzu's Art of War is cloudy, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, and not being defeated in a hundred battles; Knowing oneself without knowing the other, one wins and one loses; I don't know who I am, I don't know myself.
Now that we have just arrived with our army, we are still unclear about the situation, and it will be difficult to win if we rush to send troops, and I hope that Wei Taishou will inform you in detail of the situation in the clouds."
Of course, Wei Shang knew everything, and when he fled from the clouds, he told everyone all the forms in the clouds.
In the middle of the night, Zhou Zao was alone in the big tent to pick up the lamp to look at the map, which was Luan Bu also walking into the tent.
Zhou Zao looked up and saw Luan Bu and said with a smile: "Why didn't Luan Neishi sleep?" "Haha, Long Xihou is not sleepless".
Zhou Zao got up and said: "The people who held such a heavy responsibility before must be famous generals such as the Marquis of Jiang, the Marquis of Yingyin and the Marquis of Dongyang, I don't want them to live every year, but now Your Majesty has handed over such a heavy burden to you and me, and I can't sleep at night."
"Haha, the words of the Hou are all my heart."
While the two were talking, the soldiers outside the tent came to report, "General, the scouts have sent news that after the Hun Aries King broke through Shangjun and plundered, he did not go south, but turned around and went east, and went straight to our army, and in the evening, he had set up camp in the valley one hundred and fifty miles away from my camp."
Durhan ran back to Yunzhong and reported to the military minister Shan Yu about encountering a large number of cavalry of the Han army, and the military minister Shan Yu said, "Han Dynasty cavalry? Most of the defenders in the counties of the Han Dynasty were foot soldiers, and when a large group of cavalry appeared, it must have been a large army sent by the emperor of the Han Dynasty to help.
Durhan, I order you to go to the king of Aries and explain this to him."
When the military ministers learned that the Han Dynasty army was approaching, and that the Xiongnu had already robbed a large amount of grain, slaves and women in Yunzhong and Shangjun, they were about to retreat.
He sent Durhan to Shangjun to inform the Aries King, but he didn't know that the reckless man of the Aries King did not understand his intentions, and listened to Durhan say that the Han Dynasty army had arrived in Taiyuan County, thinking that Da Shan wanted him to go to Taiyuan to attack the Han Dynasty army.
Of course, the king of Aries himself was willing to do it, and he thought in his heart, 'I have defeated the army of the Han Dynasty, and my position among the kings of the Xiongnu will definitely be improved'.
asked Durhan to be a guide, Durhan was reluctant at first, and told the Aries King to attack the Han army, he must first report to Da Danyu, but he couldn't withstand the Aries King's constant persuasion, of course, he himself wanted to go back, revenge for being besieged by the Han army before......
In this way, the king of Aries, under the guidance of Durhan, turned around and went straight to Taiyuan County.
Zhou Zao and Luan Bu heard this, and immediately held the lamp to look at the map, Zhou Zao first spoke: "Luan Nei Shi look, Shangjun and Yunzhong are both plains, which is conducive to the Hun cavalry, not our Han army foot soldiers, and we must not fight with the Hun cavalry in the plains." I have a plan, and it should work."
"Speak, please speak."
"It can be seen from the scout recital in the past few days that the king of the Huns and Aries is a person who rushes against the enemy, so it is feasible to compare strategies."
Zhou Zao pointed to the map and said: "You see, the valley where the Xiongnu Aries King is located is on the west side of my camp, and the south of my camp is Taihang, and I learned that there is a canyon in Taihang Mountain.
If we can introduce the headquarters of the Aries King into this valley, and then block the exit of the canyon with heavy troops, and then attack it with the strong bows and crossbows of our Han army, then the Hun cavalry will have no usable place."
Luan Bu was overjoyed and said: "Long Xihou is really talented, I think it is very good to use such a tactic, why don't you send this strategy to Chang'an as soon as possible and ask Your Majesty what he means?" ”。
Zhou Zao replied: "Yes, but the situation on the scene is fleeting, only the king of Aries comes to this policy can still be feasible, if the Huns are only in Qi, with our troops will never be invincible, it is better to send people to Chang'an to report quickly, and our army is also ready to carry out this policy."
In this way, the two of them repaired the book overnight and ordered people to send it to the Chang'an Palace non-stop......
