Chapter 418: Speculating on the Reason, Dispatching Troops (II)
"That's what I thought." The prisoner bull said angrily: "Yuezhi is my fiancΓ©e, and I will never allow any accidents to happen to her. Your Majesty, I suggest that we should take advantage of the opportunity of the Han army to arrest more of the top generals of the Han army, preferably Liu Zhi, the chief general from Zhuzhou. I heard that Ji Yun has a close relationship with him, and if we arrest him, we can persecute Ji Yun.
Ji Yun's ability is not small, and the sword in his hand is even sharper, and it is a little difficult for me to capture him alive. That Liu Zhi is different, we want to catch him, it's very easy. β
Mandrola, the general of the Great Wan Kingdom, hurriedly said: "General Prisoner Niu, you have to worry a lot about this matter." My Majesty is also very angry about the disappearance of Princess Shi Xiuying. β
"I know that, don't worry, sir." The prisoner replied.
Da Shan Yu said: "Okay, since you have all reached a consensus and require the whole army to fight, then I..."
"Newspaper...."
Just as Da Dan Yu gave the order, there was a rush of reports outside the account.
After a while, a messenger rushed in, "Your Majesty, the front line has come to report that all the Han troops in Dingxi Guan have been dispatched, with a total strength of about 570,000 troops." They went all the way north, and the momentum was like a bamboo, and they had broken through two positions of our army in succession, destroying nearly 30,000 of our army. The commander of Lanzhou Guan ordered me to come to ask for help, and asked His Majesty to send troops to help quickly. β
"Oh? How did they break through two positions of our army so quickly? How many hours has it been? Da Dan Yu was surprised.
The herald replied: "According to the information report, after the Han army left the customs this time, the local soldiers of Nading Xiguan closed the city gate, directly cut off the contact with these Han troops outside the city, and even didn't care about any heavy grain and grass of the more than 500,000 troops.
At present, these Han troops have no way to retreat, so they can only fight with their backs, regard death as home, rush through the pass, and plunder the grain and grass in the pass we occupy. As a result, their combat effectiveness and desire to survive have been greatly enhanced, and our army is really unable to resist due to the lack of troops. β
"I see. If you go back and tell the commander of Lanzhou Pass, I will immediately send troops to help, and let him hold out for another seven or eight hours, and we must stabilize the situation. β
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The herald answered, and hurried out of the big tent to report the news.
"Your Majesty, it seems that Wang Mang is really anxious, and he can't wait to fight with us."
"That's true, he's breaking the kettle and fighting against the water." Da Shan Yu said: "The gate of Dingxi Pass is closed, and these Han troops have no way to retreat, so they can only rush forward, which can indeed stimulate their potential and increase their combat power by one or two percent."
Unexpectedly, Wang Mang was called a saint by the people of the Han Dynasty, and now he would use such ruthless methods to squeeze the potential of the soldiers. Hehe, it seems that people will inevitably have vulgar thoughts.
Wang Mang was reluctant to lose Liaoning, did not dare to delay time, and had to act like this. Well, since he wants to die, then we will give him a ride. You listened to the order, and from now on, you immediately dispatched all your soldiers and horses to Lanzhou Pass, and we will fight them to the death in Lanzhou Pass.
At the same time, I passed on my order, with the beacon fire as the number, so that the commanders stationed in Yumen Pass, Jiayu Pass, Jiuquan Pass, Zhangye Pass, and Jinchang Pass sent eighty percent of their troops to come to the rescue.
The lion fighting rabbit also did his best, and ordered the royal court in the rear of our base camp, so that all those overwhelming armies also came to help. This time, I want to completely annihilate the 570,000 army of the Han Dynasty and set the tide in one fell swoop. Finally, General Prisoner Bull, in order to prevent any accidents, you should quickly prepare the Sky Swallowing Plan, so as not to make a slight delay in the temporary preparation. β
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The Prisoner Ox was the first to get up and led the other Nine Dragons out of the barracks.
As soon as he left, other high-ranking generals and overseers of various countries also got up one after another, each running in the direction of his own soldiers and horses barracks, dispatching troops and sending generals to aid Lanzhou Pass.
Under Da Danyu's order, groups of people quickly gathered, and information on military orders was transmitted. They are well-behaved, capable and neat, and do not drag their feet in the slightest.
Not an hour after Dadanyu issued the order to gather the whole army, the allied troops of various countries stationed at Wuwei Pass had already gathered, with more than 200,000 people.
These horses are the main force in this attack on the Han Kyushu, and they are also elite, all of them are brave and good at fighting, and they are fierce and mighty. It is not a problem to have one against three, or even four against four.
After these armies were gathered, they were directly under the direct jurisdiction of the commanders of their respective departments, and they went to Lanzhou Pass together to aid the commanders of Lanzhou Pass, and they had to compete with the Han army in Lanzhou Pass, and they would be divided into life and death.
As for Da Shan Yu, he does not directly control these soldiers and horses, he only coordinates everything, judges the overall direction of the war, acts as an intermediary liaison, and balances the losses of various departments and the emergence of defensive emergencies.
In other words, the allied forces of the Xiongnu countries had to act around his instructions and take him as the core.
For the Xiongnu army, the fact that the Han army suddenly rushed out of the pass was not sudden, nor was it unexpected, they did have this preparation before, and they also took it for granted.
Therefore, when something happened, Xiongnu Da Dan Yu and many other senior generals were not in a hurry, not impatient, and their hearts were very stable. There is quite a kind of wind that Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, and his face did not change.
On the side of the Han army, although Xiang Fei ordered the Dingxi Pass guards to close the city gate and cut off the retreat.
But for ordinary soldiers, this move is nothing. Because Wang Mang is on the front line at the Yumen Pass at the moment, it has no impact if the city gate is closed or not, anyway, it won't be long before he can rush to the Yumen Pass and join Wang Mang.
Therefore, their idea of going out of the customs is not to fight against the water, but to sweep the Huns as a matter of course, crisscross the battlefield, make meritorious contributions, and welcome the new monarch.
And Xiang Fei also deliberately arranged for a few henchmen to stay in Dingxi Pass to respond, so as to avoid the eventuality.
Of course, the main purpose of his order to close the city gate was only to show an attitude to the Huns, to confuse them, and to make them fall for the scheme.
For Xiang Fei, the city gate is closed, and it is enough to open it again, which is not a big deal. But the attitude of treating death as if it were home and going forward to fight against the tide must be taken out, and it must be taken in a decent way, so that the Huns think that this is indeed Wang Mang's helplessness, and he wants to calm everything as soon as possible and gain time to return to Liaoning.
The morale of the Han army was high, and under the overwhelming number of people, there were really many advantages, and the momentum was like a bamboo, and they broke through two positions in a row and recaptured the two cities occupied by the Huns.
When these two cities were successfully recaptured, and killed a lot of Xiongnu defenders, the Han army was more excited, more courageous, a wave of blood surged into their hearts, completely lost their calm thinking and calm heart, only knew that they blindly killed, only knew that their goal was to rush to the Yumen Pass.
These soldiers are very simple, simple in psychology, and very firm in their beliefs.
Of course, it is precisely because of this that they are easily deceived and taken advantage of. From a soldier of the country to a private soldier, he has become a knife in the hands of the powerful.
Now Xiang Fei directly suppressed them in the name of Wang Mang, opened their ideological imprisonment, wiped out their bad thoughts that were bewitched by others, and replanted the idea of serving the country and the people in their minds.
Of course, Xiang Fei's approach is actually another way of saying that he is also bewitching, tricking them into obeying Wang Mang's orders and bewitching them to believe in Wang Mang.
Because Wang Mang has the reputation of a saint, and now he is at the forefront of the tiger's den in Longtan by example, these soldiers immediately accepted Xiang Fei's bewitchment, thinking that they should obey Wang Mang's orders.
