Chapter 1035: Don't Leave If You Come
To be honest, Tuoba Guoluo's mind is still a little dizzy.
Why did this fail?
It's not that I haven't fought against the Han army before, and it's not that I haven't suffered defeats, but like this time, it's really not.
Whether it was the hoplites rushing out from behind the hill, or the dense beehive-like traps on the hillside, he had never seen before.
Unheard-of!
What kind of tactic is this?
What the hell is this stuff!
As a person living on the grassland, I naturally can't help but understand the power of that small, bowl-sized trap pit. As a cavalryman, you have to fight on horseback, on the one hand, you have to gallop and maintain your speed, and on the other hand, you have to guard against incoming blades and arrows from all directions, where will you have time to take care of these traps under your feet!
On the hillside, defend with a rejecting horse, use a shield to fight in close combat after rejecting a horse, and use a bow and arrow crossbowman to strike remotely, these routine operations are understood by Yu Xiaowang Tuoba Guoluo, but he doesn't understand why the Han people have the kung fu to dig so many small pits!
Tuoba Guoluo's mind has been hovering a question, such a quantity of work, in Tuoba Guoluo's eyes, is not as good as digging a big pit. He is not afraid of the big horse pit, and his cavalry is not afraid, anyway, he has encountered a lot, and it is impossible to avoid it, it is really not possible to fill it with the lives of men and horses, at most a dozen people and horses, it is enough to pave a flesh and blood road, if you want to open a few more passages, you will pay more lives of men and horses, and you will eventually step out of the road......
But the problem is that the Han people have dug so many small pits, and the dense pits are so dense that even he has goosebumps all over his body, not to mention his subordinates.
Once the people and horses are in it, it must be difficult to move an inch, and it is not impossible to use human lives to travel, but the problem is that Tuoba Guoluo does not have a base in his heart, how much does it have to pay, and the value of that generation is not worth it.
So Tuoba Guoluo chose to retreat and chose to rescue Tuyuhun, but the cavalry of the Han army covered with armor is indeed too terrifying, and the swords and spears are basically useless for these heavily armored Han cavalry, unless they use tomahawks or other heavy weapons.
But apart from those brave guys in the Xianbei Royal Court, who would hold those heavy things? Besides, there is a lack of all kinds of metals on the grassland, and even if you want to equip it, you can't afford it......
Tuoba Guoluo didn't understand, these were things he had never encountered, and they were not expected by him, but they just happened in front of him.
Tuoba Guoluo walked forward on horseback while meditating.
For more than 100 years, the Hu people and the Han people have fought each other, but all the problems encountered today are new problems, and in the face of these new problems, Tuoba Guoluo, who has always been a little smarter, is a little at a loss, not to mention those Xianbei people under his command, who basically fight by instinct, and are also stunned by the sudden unexpected situation brought by the Han army.
This world was originally relatively fair in Tuoba Guoluo's heart, the Han people had stronger blades and armor, but their cavalry was not good, and as a man on the grassland, he had always had an advantage in cavalry, and now it seems that this balance has been broken, such a heavily armored Han army horseman, except for themselves who can defeat head-on except for their own tired and stopped?
The scene of that battle still swirls in Tuoba Guoluo's mind.
Blood splattered on Tuoba Guoluo's face and on his white fox fur hat......
The sound of the spear piercing into the body, the sound of the war knife splitting the flesh, the sound of the war horse panting violently, the sound of the hurried horse's hooves trampling, and the sound of the soldiers on both sides howling violently converged into a chaotic sound, which is still constantly impacting Tuoba Guoluo's nerves.
Tuoba Guo sat on the back of the horse in a daze, like a mud-tire puppet.
It's not that he hasn't been defeated, but it's not as miserable as this one.
He yearns for battle, yearns for meritorious deeds in battle, kills generals and captures the flag, and also feels that no matter what strong enemy he faces, he can command and be determined, and between talking and laughing, the strong enemy bows down.
Before that, he commanded large and small battles, and he also witnessed all kinds of bloody scenes, thinking that he had experienced the baptism of blood and iron, and was already a qualified general, but today, all this has become an erratic bubble, and in the fierce impact of the Han cavalry, one after another disappeared without a trace.
It's like in a dream.
"Xiao Wang! Xiao Wang! A Xianbei soldier rode his horse from the front in a panic and shouted in horror, "Oh no! The Xiongnu in the Yinshan camp rebelled, and were raided by the Han army overnight...... has been broken......"
"What?" Tuoba Guoluo straightened his waist suddenly, and it seemed that he could hear the sound of the waist pole Gragra, "You say it again!?" ”
"Returning to Xiao Wang, big camp...... Yinshan camp, the Huns rebelled," the Xianbei soldier said with difficulty, "...... Subsequently, the Han people took advantage of the uncertainty in the camp and sent troops to raid the camp, causing the Nakri Zhentou to be wounded...... Camp...... Destroyed ......"
Tuoba Guoluo was shocked, his face was a little pale, he held the reins of the horse tightly, struggled to calm down his rapid breathing, and said with difficulty: "The whole army will set off immediately!" Flag more! Go to Yinshan and pack up the remnants! ”
Now is not the time to be decadent and sad, we must take advantage of the fact that the Han people in Yinshan have not yet accepted the news of the defeat here, and quickly evacuate Yinshan, so as to preserve the first soldiers to the greatest extent, otherwise once the passage at the southern foot of Yinshan is blocked, even if you want to go, you can't go!
………………………………
To the north of Yinshan Mountain, dense tents were erected around a meadow, and from time to time some people carried wooden barrels to the center of the meadow to fetch water, and some cavalry patrolled the perimeter.
"Captain Ma......" Yu Fuluo walked over slowly and greeted Ma Yue.
"I've seen Shan Yu." Ma Yue arched his hand, and then invited Yu Furo to sit down.
"Hehe......" Yu Fuluo laughed a few times, gossiped about what he ate yesterday and today, and then changed the topic, and said, "...... Captain Ma, oh, this weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it is estimated that the rainy season on the grassland is approaching...... By the way, Captain Ma, have you ever seen the rainy season on the prairie? ”
Ma Yue shook his head and said, "The rainy season on the grassland? I've never seen ......."
Yu Fuluo looked at the clouds in the sky and said slowly, "That season is the fastest time for all creatures on the grassland...... You can even see the grass growing taller every day...... At that time, the clouds in the sky were one by one, some of them rained and some of them didn't, and you could even chase the clouds and then stand in the middle and experience the situation of rain on the left and no rain on the right, which was very interesting......"
Ma Yue lowered his eyelids when he heard this, was silent for a moment and said, "Shan Yu doesn't have to be anxious...... Horizontal and vertical is the matter of the past few days, and when the news comes, you can leave for the south! I'm afraid that Shan Yu will be reluctant to do so when the time comes......"
Then at this time, the Han Dynasty did not have any nonsensical words about thundering and raining clothes, but Yu Fuluo's meaning Ma Yue could also hear that the rainy season on the grassland has always been the beginning of the herdsmen's recuperation, and at the end of the rainy season, most of the livestock will enter the estrus period, just like the farming people, the seasonality of the nomads is also very strong, so Yu Fuluo is talking about the rainy season, in fact, he is talking about time.
Waiting, after all, no matter who it is, it won't feel too comfortable.
Yu Fuluo was slightly stunned, then laughed a few times, nodded, and did not continue to say anything. He was a little puzzled, Ma Yue kept saying that he was waiting for the news, but in order not to let the Xianbei people of Yinshan in the south find out, they didn't dare to get too close to the scouts, where did this news come from?
Here, there are grasslands on three sides, and they are all Xianbei people's areas, although Yu Fuluo sent Bart with a force to sweep those Xianbei small tribes, and there are some harvests, but if this Xianbei army in Yinshan does not solve it, these harvests will cause trouble, and I can't help but be careful.
The only thing that is possible is the south, but the problem is that the Xianbei people in the south are now tightly blocked, how can the Han people send any information over?
However, looking at Ma Yue's eloquent words, Yu Fuluo didn't say anything, but decided to evacuate this place as soon as he found out that something was wrong!
I'm here to make a profit, and it's okay to cooperate, so I want to give myself my life for the Han people, hehe......
Ma Yue glanced at Yu Fuluo, and had no interest in continuing to say anything, he and Yu Fu Luo rushed here, and Jia Xu still did not send anyone to send any news, which could not help but make him a little worried, what is the situation in the south now, don't look at him when he said to Yu Fu Luo was quite sure, but in fact, Ma Yue did not have much bottom in his heart.
"Okay......" said Ivro as he stood up, "...... Captain Ma, that Wang Xian ......"
Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a sharp whistle in the distance!
In order to distinguish it from the Hu Ren Niujiao, Fei Qian made a batch of copper whistles, which were prioritized to equip the army of Yinshan in the north, and there were a few scouts under Ma Yue.
Don't look at the structure of the whistle is simple, but under the production conditions of the Han Dynasty, it is not easy to create a qualified whistle, not to mention anything else, just to beat the copper sheet into a flat arc, it is quite a laborious thing......
The whistle was sharp and urgent, and then I saw a few horses running at a gallop in the distance.
Ma Yueteng stood up, his heart was pounding, his expression was a little excited, he had been waiting for many days, this, could it be that the news finally came?
………………………………
At the southern foot of Yin Mountain, the early morning dew is still stained on the blades of grass, the air is fresh, and there are occasional sounds of insects and birds.
Tuoba Guoluo looked at the Yin Mountain camp of the Han army and was silent for a long time.
From arriving yesterday night to this morning, Tuoba Guoluo was speculating whether these Han soldiers would suddenly rush out, and hoped that these Han soldiers would be able to kill them......
But no.
These Han people shrank back again!
Although there are not many cavalry under his command, if the Han army in this camp dares to rush out of that turtle shell, it must be made to know something!
After all, fighting on a flat bottom, without any fortifications, foot soldiers are on the inferior side in the face of cavalry onslaught.
But the Han army on the other side was silent like this, and there was no movement at all for the whole night, as if the previous raid was not done by them at all.
The morning mist fluttered on the top of the mountain little by little, slowly drifting down, stained with Tuoba Guoluo's leather jacket, which seemed to be a little chilly, making him shiver.
This tranquility in front of him seems to make Tuoba Guoluo experience a somewhat ominous taste.
This group of Han people, like poisonous snakes hiding in the grass, usually does not move, but as long as there is a slight negligence, they will come out and bite hard, and then quickly retract, waiting for the poison.
Withdraw, if you don't withdraw, you can't do it.
Who would have thought that he came triumphantly, but he encountered such an end.
Lost, this time lost.
But it's good to be able to collect some money and go back!
Tuoba Guoluo stared at the Yinshan camp viciously and said, "Order, slowly withdraw the troops!" ”
I don't believe that these Han people in the Yinshan camp will watch them leave! If they don't come out, it's fine, if they dare to come out to chase and intercept, it will definitely make these Han people look good!
Jia Xu and Xu Huang looked at the movements of the Xianbei people in the distance and didn't speak for a while.
Although the Xianbei people tried their best to cover it up, how could they hide Jia Xu's vicious eyes and see the essence of their weakness at a glance, but it was still a little impossible to stop these Xianbei people just by relying on the foot soldiers in the camp.
In the previous series of battles, although there was the fortification of the camp wall, the consumption of soldiers and the physical and mental exhaustion could not be eliminated in one day, even if it was a big victory the night before, it only improved morale, and could not directly rehabilitate the wounded soldiers and remove the hard work.
If you really lead the soldiers out, leave the protection of the camp, and be under the impact of the Xianbei people's horses, the victory or defeat is indeed unpredictable, and these Xianbei people in front of you are walking slowly, in Jia Xu's eyes, it is almost a clear posture of seduction.
"It's really good to have horses...... Jia Xu looked at the situation in front of him, and couldn't help but say a little sourly, "If these Xianbei are foot soldiers, even if the number is doubled, I believe that with the martial arts of Captain Xu, it will not be difficult to defeat these defeated soldiers with low morale...... However, these horses ...... It has little to do with the morale of the soldiers......"
Xu Huang nodded, this is true. Once the morale of the infantry battle formation is low, after encountering a fierce attack, it is easy to collapse, and even deserters appear. But the cavalry is different, it originally has a psychological advantage over the upper infantry, and when the war horse gallops, even the turn needs to be careful, and it is naturally not easy to turn around and change direction in an instant like a human being, so it is relatively difficult to use these infantry in the hands of the current hand to give the Xianbei cavalry a heavy blow and crush its fighting spirit.
"Are we just going to let it go for nothing?" Xu Huang frowned and said.
Jia Xu laughed twice and said, "How is it possible? Calculating the time, Captain Ma is almost there...... Don't leave these humble fools when you come...... Since the prince has obtained Yinshan, here, whether it is now or in the future, this piece of land can only belong to the prince and the prince, and can only be our Han family...... The blood of the Xianbei dogs, but it's just right to nourish this place, so it's not bad......"
