The victory in the first decisive battle in Hexi did not bring too much excitement to Qin Cheng, after the end of the battle, watching the corpses all over the ground exuding the aura of death and relief in the setting sun, and the sergeants who were cleaning up the battlefield, Qin Cheng's heart was surprisingly calm.

After six days of running around the five tribes, and now it coincided with the end of the war, Qin Cheng did not intend to let the hussars rest immediately, but after a short rest, he ordered the main force to assemble and prepare to continue to set off.

"Only a hundred and ten miles ahead is the royal court of King Luhou, where there is delicious wine, hot meat, and a comfortable tent!" Qin Cheng's hand holding the horsewhip pointed forward, and the soldiers couldn't see his figure clearly under the night, but Qin Cheng's still thick and sonorous voice after the war made many soldiers hear it clearly, "The main force of King Luhou's army has been annihilated by us, and if you run for a while, you will be able to enjoy the first hot meal since the expedition, drink the first hot water since the expedition, and sleep on the first warm bed since the expedition!" ”

Finally, Qin Cheng ordered: "Hussars, forward!" ”

The main officers and men of the hussars, who had not stopped the battle, heard the order and let out a neat roar. With the sound of the trumpet, the army rushed out again.

Prince Luhou, who was stationed in the court of King Luhou, had already learned the news of the defeat of his father's army from the mouth of the rout, and he was still bent on revenge, but when he heard that the hussar army was rushing towards the royal court, he fell to the ground in fright on the spot, and then hurriedly fled away with some of his relatives and nobles.

Therefore, when the hussars arrived at the court of the prince of Luhou and prepared to rest after a bloody battle, there was no one in the court who dared to fight, and the sergeants who did not have time to run also put down their long swords and bowed down their bodies when the hussar army arrived, willing to become slaves of the hussars.

"The army is encamped, and the rangers are arranged ten miles away!" Running to the king's tent, seeing a group of Hun soldiers and civilians crawling on the ground under the bright firelight, Qin Cheng asked the herald to give an order, "Let Le Yi divide his troops to guard the prisoners of war, and the army will be on duty in shifts!" ”

"Set up a makeshift infirmary to house wounded sergeants!"

After the army settled down, Qincheng requisitioned the royal tent of King Luhou as the big tent of the Chinese army, asked Wang Er to lay out the military map, and called Zhang Da of the intelligence team, as well as the senior generals of the army, Le Yi, Ran Min, Qin Qingzhi and others, to hold a military meeting.

"To the west through Gaolan Mountain, there is Qilian Mountain, and further north of Qilian Mountain is Yanzhi Mountain." Qin Cheng pointed to the standard position on the map and said to everyone, "At the foot of Qilian Mountain, the royal court of the seven tribes of the Xiongnu is stationed, and they are not far from each other before. And two hundred miles to the south of Yanzhi Mountain, is the royal court of the evil king and the king of Hutu. This is the general situation in the land west of the river. ”

After that, Qin Cheng looked around at the generals and said: "After a few days of fighting, in addition to the number of casualties, there are still more than 18,000 soldiers in the army who can still run long distances. In addition, when we cleared the Xiongnu tribes along the road and attracted the attention of the Xiongnu tribes, Shanjia had already led 6,000 heavy armor all the way, and now it has gone around to the southwest of Qilian Mountain, and is speeding towards Qilian Mountain under the escort of 2,000 cavalry of the Heshuotun army. ”

Heavy cavalry army, in order to prevent harassment of the Hun cavalry in case of trouble, Qin Cheng specially instructed Zhang Qian and Yi Xue'er to send cavalry to accompany the escort when leaving Heshuo.

After all, if the Hun cavalry relied on the speed of their horses to carry out guerrilla warfare faster than the cavalry, the heavy cavalry would face a rather passive situation.

The grassland in Hexi is fertile, and it is a newly built border county, and the number of cavalry is not a lot, and this time the main general who led the 2,000 cavalry of the Hexi Tun Army to guard the heavy cavalry was Zhang Qian himself.

Last year's defeat in Hexi, Zhang Qian also knew his own mistakes, when Qin Cheng left Heshuo, Zhang Qian discussed with Qin Cheng, this march must lead the army in person, Qin Cheng weighed the pros and cons, but did not refuse.

"According to the intelligence of Nangong Shang, the Hun army in Qilian Mountain is no less than 50,000, tomorrow, our army will set off again, run westward, and strive to reach the foothills of Qilian Mountain within three days, join the heavy cavalry, and eat these Hun cavalry in one bite!" Qin Cheng announced the next battle plan, and then asked the generals: "If you generals have any opinions, you might as well say them, I will wait for the discussion to be finished earlier, and I can go and rest." ”

"Twenty-five thousand eat fifty thousand, such a battle will like it!" Ran Min said with a smile, with a strong fighting spirit.

"In today's daytime battle, my hussar warriors beheaded 20,000 at the cost of 5,000 casualties - this is still in the absence of heavy cavalry, when there are heavy cavalry, 25,000 will eat him 50,000, and the last general is afraid that he will not be able to fill everyone's stomach!" Li Dang also said arrogantly.

"It's no problem if you can't fill it, there are Hun cavalry in Hexi to fill it for you! If Hexi is not enough, there are desert Xiongnu single in the royal court. Qin Cheng said, and suddenly thought that in the period of history he was familiar with, Huo Qu's illness rate of 10,000 soldiers who dared to fight, after experiencing a battle similar to that of the hussars, fought hard with King Luhou and King Zhelan, and beheaded nearly 10,000 people at the cost of more than 6,000 casualties. In such a comparison, Qin Cheng felt that he led more than 20,000 hussars and beheaded 20,000 at the cost of 5,000 people, which was really nothing to boast about.

"After the Battle of Qilian Mountain, what will happen?" Le Yi finally spoke, but asked a rather far-sighted question.

Qin Cheng smiled slightly, "If Qilian Mountain wins, he will be able to win again!" ”

"Order!" When all the generals heard this, they all understood what Qin Cheng meant, and they all responded with their fists.

"If there are no other problems, today's military discussion will be here." Qin Cheng said, "After the generals go down, pick out the wounded sergeants and place them, and then integrate the remaining sergeants of each department into the wartime army!" ”

"No!"

...................................................

Three days later, at the foot of Qilian Mountain.

The light cavalry army led by Qin Cheng and the Shanjia heavy cavalry army led by Shanjia smoothly converged, and at the same time, there were 2,000 cavalry from Shuofang County led by Zhang Qian.

18,000 light cavalry, 6,000 heavy cavalry, plus 2,000 Shuofang cavalry, a total of 26,000.

"Along the way, we were not harassed by a large number of Hun cavalry, and a small group of cavalry was also killed by us." Shanjia said when he reported the situation to Qin Cheng.

Qin Cheng nodded, and then said to Zhang Qian: "Hard work. ”

"The general can let me participate in this big battle, which is already extremely face-saving, why should I talk about any hardship?" Zhang Qian replied.

"In that case, we don't need to stay here for long, the army is leaving!" Qin Cheng said, "The Shuofang County cavalry moved with the light cavalry. ”

"Thank you, General!" Zhang Qian said excitedly.

After the 26,000 army with the hussars as the main force set out, they rushed all the way, using heavy cavalry as sharp knives and light cavalry as two wings, and launched a surprise attack on the Xiongnu tribes at the foot of the Qilian Mountains as before.

In the first six days, the army broke through three Xiongnu tribes and beheaded thousands.

On the seventh day, when the army raided the fourth Xiongnu royal court, it ushered in the Xiongnu coalition army of the remaining four tribes in Qilian Mountain.

The second decisive battle since Qincheng set out to conquer Hexi was officially launched at the foot of Qilian Mountain. More than 20,000 Han troops, and nearly 40,000 troops allied with the four kings of the Xiongnu, once again launched a hard-fought battle.

It's just that this time the decisive battle is much more boring than the previous decisive battle between the hussars and the king of Luhou and the king of Zhelan.

Heavy riding in front, the front of the soldiers, all invincible!

In Upper Valley and in the Northern Army, the number of heavy cavalry of the hussars remained unchanged, but they were much better armed.

The treatment of the county soldiers and the central army is naturally different.

Moreover, the range of options for heavy cavalry sergeants is also much larger, which also makes the personal quality of heavy cavalry sergeants also improve a lot!

This naturally brought about a further surge in combat power, even in the face of a Hun army ten times larger than himself, the heavy cavalry was not afraid, let alone only 40,000 Hun coalition troops.

The heavy cavalry of the hussars has become the most dazzling soldier on the Han-Hungarian battlefield!

It's just that the Battle of Hexi was also the last time that the heavy cavalry of the hussar battalion would shine in the annals of history on the Han-Hungarian battlefield. Of course, this is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

The Han army, with the hussars as the main force, was in the battle of Qilian Mountain, and its battle report was then quickly sent to Liu Che.

"More than 30,000 enemies were killed, seven Xiongnu princes were captured, and 40 Xiongnu princes and Xiongnu princes were captured, and a total of 52 people were the commanders of Xiangguo!" Legend has it that Liu Che was so excited after seeing this description in the battle report sent back by Qincheng that before he could read it, he ordered on the spot to seal another 3,000 households in Qincheng.

Qincheng's battle report also wrote: "At the end of the decisive battle of Qilian Mountain, the Hun Hun evil king and the Hutu king led an army of 20,000 to come to the rescue, but after seeing the military might of our army, they stood ten miles away and did not dare to move forward half a step, and finally fled in a hurry under the coercion of our army, in order to collapse without a fight!" ”

And when Liu Che saw this, he couldn't help himself, so he issued an edict again, and then sealed 500 households in Qincheng!

However, what Qin Cheng didn't know when he wrote this war report at the time was that the first thing the Hun Hun Evil King and the Hutu King did after returning to the royal court was to gather the tribes to migrate, wanting to cross the Yanzhi Mountain to the north of the Yanzhi Mountain, leave Hexi to temporarily avoid the military disaster, and then ask Yizhi for help.

It wasn't until two days later, when he joined Wei Qing, who had led 10,000 elite horsemen from Shuofang County, that Qin Cheng knew that the Evil King of Hun and the King of Hutu had planned to flee without a fight.

On that day, Wei Qing led 10,000 elite horsemen drawn from the victorious army that returned from the desert, ran thousands of miles, detoured to Yanzhi Mountain, and happened to encounter the King of Hutu, the King of Hun and the people of his subordinates who were ready to migrate to avoid disaster.

Both sides were surprised when encountered, and in a hurry, the soldiers on both sides began to fight.

When the fierce battle was in full swing, Qin Cheng led the army to chase after him!

As a result, Qin Cheng and Wei Qing, the two great generals of the Han Dynasty, one after the other, launched a joint attack on this group of Huns!

The battle didn't last long, and the Evil King and the Hutu King were defeated! The two Xiongnu kings who carried the people of the tribe were forced to lead the people to surrender to Qincheng and Weiqing!

....................

After this battle, there were no more Hun soldiers in Hexi!

The Xiongnu, who once did whatever they wanted on the head of the Han Dynasty and caused countless people to die in the Han Dynasty, finally sang a lamentation: "Death of my Qilian Mountain, so that my six animals will not rest; Lose my Yanzhi Mountain, so that my women have no color! ”

After the Han army regained Heshuo last year, it has recovered Hexi after a year!

On the territory of the Han Dynasty, there were four more counties of Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan and Dunhuang, and the Hexi Corridor was officially incorporated into the Han Dynasty!

The surrender of the Xiongnu Hun Evil King and the Hutu King accepted by Qin Cheng and Wei Qing in the south of Yanzhi Mountain also became the first time in Chinese history to face the surrender of foreign captives, which not only raised eyebrows for the Han Dynasty people who had suffered from the invasion of the Xiongnu for a hundred years, but also gave the Han Dynasty people the confidence to be strong!

The complete victory of the hussars in the three decisive battles in Hexi not only made the reputation of the hussars resounding throughout the eastern countries, but also made the title of Qincheng God of War spread all over the world, and since then the Huns have been terrified!
