Chapter 8 Affection? Inexistent!

Sometimes, the causes of war can be very complex, and it takes many intelligent people to figure out the causes.

Sometimes the causes of war are very simple.

It's like the war between Liu Ling and Yun Lang.

Liu Ling, who claimed to have been humiliated, assembled a large army in the early morning of the next day without any declaration of war.

His cavalry dismounted and swooped down on the Great Wall at the first moment.

The Great Wall between Yangguan and Yumen Pass was eighty miles long, and it was impossible for Yunlang to deploy his limited forces on this long Great Wall.

If he really did that, it would prove that Yun Lang was a stupid manager.

Therefore, when the Huns swarmed up, the Han army, which was patrolling on horseback on the Great Wall, retreated according to the established tactics, Yumen Pass, or Yangguan.

Liu Ling easily cut off the connection between Yumen Pass and Yangguan, and in just half a day, the Great Wall that Yunlang had painstakingly built was excavated with seven or eight huge openings, and then, the cavalry of the Huns followed these openings.

Yangguan Captain Fox Chief, Dunhuang Captain Curtain Smoke, with the headquarters of the people, like scissors, left and right, again and again the Xiongnu emerged out of the team cut off, Li Ling's 5,000 Danyang Army, then stood in the front, the advancing Hun cavalry wiped out in the open space behind the Great Wall.

Such tactics were very effective at the beginning, but as there were more and more gaps on the Great Wall pushed out by the Huns, the two scissor blades of the fox chief and curtain smoke could not cooperate very well.

The scissors could not be closed, and it was impossible to cut off the advancing Hun cavalry, so, after a whole day of fierce fighting, Yun Lang Mingjin withdrew his troops, and the fox chief retreated to Yumen Pass, curtain smoke, and Li Ling retreated to Yangguan.

In the evening, Liu Ling lit a bonfire on the wasteland again......

This time, the bonfire burned all night, Yun Lang did not appear in the wasteland, and he felt that what he should say to Liu Ling, he had already finished everything.

If there is still a need to speak, it is time to use war to talk.

Liu Ling's lonely figure stood in the wasteland all night, and only returned to the Xiongnu camp at dawn.

This night, Yun Lang was not idle, he was calculating his losses, and after only one day of fighting, Yun Lang lost 2,100 people.

The battle was short and intense.

Seeing the bones of the warriors placed in the clearing, Yun Lang regretted a little, he should have been more gentle when he spoke yesterday.

In order to fight for a breath, it is not cost-effective to let 1,300 people die in battle and 800 people are seriously injured.

Although the casualties of the Huns were twice as many as those of the Han army, Yun Lang still felt that it was not worth it, and the Han army should not have suffered such losses on the eve of victory.

I don't know what Liu Ling thinks.

Perhaps, this woman wants to tell the Han people in this way before leaving the land of the Han Dynasty that the Huns can still fight!

While allowing his subordinates to fight across the Great Wall with a river of blood, while talking and laughing with the enemy commander, this may be a kind of beautiful talk for the high-ranking soldiers.

For Yun Lang, it was difficult to accept.

Liu Ling can not care, Yun Lang can't do it.

"So, the part of the cavalry that the Huns broke through to the Great Wall has retreated?"

Yun Lang asked Li Ling after inspecting the wounded soldiers.

Li Ling hugged his fists and said: "The purpose of the Huns' battle this time is more like a demonstration, not to achieve any combat purpose.

I thought that after I retreated to Yangguan, the Huns might march straight into Dunhuang with a large army.

As a result, the curtain smoke retreated back to Dunhuang, and after I returned to Yangguan, the Huns stopped the pursuit and withdrew from the Great Wall. ”

Yun Lang pinched the bridge of his nose, shook his head and said, "Liu Ling is not crazy, this is the most difficult thing to deal with."

Until now, her goal is still very clear, that is, to block us in Yangguan and Yumen Pass, and not allow us to attack. ”

Huo Guangdao: "The arrangement we placed in Dunhuang has lost its effectiveness, should we withdraw it and place it in Yangguan?" ”

Yun Lang shook his head and said: "No, the Huns have already destroyed the Great Wall, and they will definitely not use it only once, if necessary, they will break through those gaps."

Did the brigade of the Huns leave the country of Wusun? ”

Dongfang Shuo hugged his fists and said: "General Qiyu, the Hun brigade is still in Wusun, and if you want to completely sack the Wusun country, it will take at least three days, and it is the ghost slave army that left first."

It seems that the goal of the Huns' westward advance has not changed, and they want to use the ghost slave army to lead for them. ”

Yun Lang nodded and said to Sui Yue: "Liu Ling needs to stay in Yangguan for at least five days, Sui Yue, your news is faster, do you know when Da Sima, Da Xing's forward army will be able to arrive in Yangguan, the first line of Yumen Pass?" ”

When the sun came out, the Huns really appeared in front of Yangguan once.

Yun Lang stood at the head of the city and looked down on the Huns.

This time, the Huns seemed to have put up all the battles and placed all the men and horses in front of Yangguan.

The dense Huns could not see the edge, and the Han army oppressed by the army of 200,000 people could hardly even breathe.

"Liu Ling is gone!"

Yun Lang watched for a while and sighed.

Sui Yue hurriedly asked, "How can you see it?" General, you see that the largest military tent still stands on the cow hair big silk, that is Liu Ling's scepter, she will not leave. ”

Yun Lang didn't explain anything to Sui Yue, but said lightly: "Prepare for battle, Liu Ling wants to weaken my strength as much as possible, and then achieve the goal of removing future troubles, so that she can go more stable." ”

As soon as the words fell, seven or eight teams were divided into the vast ranks of the Huns, and they once again pounced on the Great Wall.

The Chinese army on the opposite side of Yangguan had no intention of moving.

Li Yong, Li Shen took the people of the headquarters to do what Li Ling did yesterday, and Li Ling, who was seriously consumed, followed Yun Lang.

The Xiongnu army suddenly cracked in the middle, and a large group of unkempt people ran out of the military formation shouting and went straight to Yangguan.

Yun Lang closed his eyes in pain.

In his field of vision, they are all Qiang people, and they are the Qiang people that Liu Ling has captured these days.

Now, he wants to use these Qiang people to destroy all kinds of arrangements under Yangguan City.

The Qiang people who ran a little slower were hacked to death by the Huns hiding behind the Qiang crowd, and the remaining Qiang people were even more panicked, seeing that they were about to arrive at the city of Yangguan, the Qiang people were even more panicked.

Some shouted loudly, hoping that the Han army would open the city gate and let them enter the city, and some knelt on the ground to worship, hoping that the Han army would spare them from dying.

Seeing that this group of people was driven to set foot on the Han army's ambush mechanism, Yun Lang nodded slightly, Sui Yue waved the flag, and then, arrows rained down.

The Huns laughed loudly in the back, and the Han army did not have much pain when standing at the head of the city, only the Qiang people in the middle, crying, begging, and rolling!

The soldiers in the shooting camp changed one stubble after another, and the Qiang people outside the city died one group after another......

When the feathered arrows at the head of the city gradually became sparse, the Huns rode on horses and trampled over the Qiang people's bodies, and fiercely pounced on the city wall.

Triangular thorns, steel wires, tripping horses, antlers, and the corpses of the Qiang people dragged over by the Huns were completely covered.

Then, there were Xiongnu warriors, under the cover of feather arrows, sitting on horses waving long leather ropes, and throwing hooks onto the city wall.

"Bang"

Almost able to cover the sky again, the crossbow bolts flew high and far, away from the Huns under the city, and flew into the depths.

After climbing to the limit, the crossbow bolts began to fall, and this time, it was the lives of the Huns that were harvested.

The Han army was never short of crossbow arrows, especially among the Yunlang army.

Yun Lang paid more attention to long-range weapons such as crossbow arrows and trebuchets than all the generals of the Great Han Kingdom.

He believed that if you could kill an enemy from a distance, you should never fight in close combat.

The bolts emptied a piece of land, and soon they were replenished by new Huns.

Thus, a wonderful balance was formed between the crossbow bolts and the Huns in a very short time.

The crossbow bolts cut off the space for the Xiongnu to continue to support the vanguard army, so the two gates of Yangguan were wide open.

Li Guangli, who was covered in heavy armor, rushed out from the city gate on the left......

At the time of a pillar of incense, Li Guangli needed to start from the left city gate, clear the Huns under the city wall, and then come back from the right city gate.

Similarly, Yun Lang's subordinate Li Ling also needs to start from the right city gate, and after cleaning up the enemies under the city, he will come back from the left city gate.

His time, too, is only the time of a pillar of incense.
