Chapter 145: Descending the Mountain to Investigate
The resolution had been decided, and Han Yi was so depressed that he couldn't open his eyes. The curare poison of the Xianbei people www.biquge.info was quite strong, although it did not penetrate Han Yi's heart, it smoothly forced the curare poison into Han Yi's internal organs. Han Yi had already felt many inexplicable visions appear, including the faces of many of the people he had slaughtered.
Han Yi knew that he could no longer command the team, so he hurriedly ordered Wen Chou, the deputy general, to take over the position of chief general, supplemented by Gao Ran and Che La. Han Yi held Wen Chou's hand uncomfortably and said: "All the more than 4,000 people in this army will be handed over to Brother Wen, I know that Brother Wen has always been strong, and he can't shrink his head and defend it." But you must know that as the commander of an army, every move represents the life and death of thousands of people. Brother Wen must not start a war because of a momentary anger, and only after the army is trained and there is more than seventy percent certainty, can he go to war. ”
Wen Chou nodded cautiously, and Han Yi told Gao Lan for a while, and then he fainted groggily.
I don't know how long it took for Han Yi to feel that someone was applying medicine to him. The medicine seemed to be very effective, and soon after applying it, Han Yi felt that the wound was extremely painful and uncomfortable, and he couldn't help moaning. After being fed some bitter decoction, Han Yi fell asleep again groggy.
In the following days, Han Yi woke up when he slept, didn't know who was going to sleep when he slept, and was stunned when he woke up, and he couldn't distinguish the characters. It wasn't until after January that Han Yi came back to some clarity.
After listening to Yu Hua's message, Han Yi knew that the army, under the guidance of Ke Suo'er, had come to a hiding place for the ancestors of the Wuhuan clan in the past, on a high mountain, in more than a dozen caves. After that, the eight Xianbei slaughtered by Han Yi's army, totaling more than 20,000 Hu cavalry, also chased into Wuhuan Mountain within five days after the Han army entered the hiding place, and three days later, found the hiding place of the Han army and besieged the hiding place.
With the fire of revenge, the Xianbei Raiders ordered the whole army to attack the mountain regardless of life and death on the same day. It's just that the Han army was prepared early, coupled with the dangerous mountain roads, more than 20,000 Xianbei cavalry fought unfavorably, failed to kill dozens of Han troops, but lost more than 2,000 people.
Later, they attacked several times, but they were all repelled by the Han army with a condescending posture and relying on the dangerous momentum of the mountain road. After losing nearly 4,000 cavalry, the Xianbei cavalry finally gave up directly attacking the mountain, but surrounded all the downhill roads of the high mountain, wanting to trap the Han army.
It's just that the Han army has a lot of food, and after slaughtering 5,000 war horses and getting more than 20,000 stone horse meat, it can be used for half a year for the 5,000 army. The rest, except for the 5,000 horses left in captivity in the belly valley of the mountainside, were all returned to the Xianbei people.
This was Gao Ran's idea, he knew that Xianbei people loved horses and were reluctant to kill them easily. At this time, it can be returned to the Xianbei Hulu, which can not only make the Xianbei Hulu unevenly distributed, but also split the relationship between the various departments of the vengeful Xianbei Hulu; It can also increase the consumption of grain and grass for Hulu, who is already short of food and clothing. If the Han army can defeat this group of vengeful Xianbei Hulu, then the war horses will naturally return to all of the Han army.
Han Yi saw that Wen Chou and the others had arranged the defense and training in an orderly manner, and he had no energy to manage things. So he continued to be the main general of the army, leading the confrontation between the Han army and Xianbei Hulu.
It was not until March later, when the heavy snow fell in the north, that the 4,000 "Blood Hate Army" had gone through three months of hard training, and they were very different from the original appearance, no longer a slave army that followed behind the Qianping Army to pick up some bargains, and had officially formed an army.
At this time, Han Yi came forward and began to look at things. The generals were aggrieved in the mountains for three months, and the fire in their hearts was flourishing, and on the day of the formation of the army, they asked for orders to go down the mountain and fight with Xianbei Hulu. But Han Yi didn't seem to be enthusiastic about this matter, and under the pretext that he was not familiar with the mountain terrain, he postponed the attack until Han Yi was familiar with the terrain.
On this day, Han Yi stood in the middle of the mountainside, and saw that the clouds and mist were all over the place to cover the scene under the mountain. So under the leadership of Wang Yang, who was more familiar with the terrain here, Han Yi and him went down the mountain along a remote crooked and rugged sheep intestine path. This path can only be climbed by one man, and both armies are on guard against it, so it cannot be used to attack and retreat. At most, only the sentinels of the Han army were allowed to go deep into the middle of the mountain to investigate the enemy's situation.
Han Yi crouched on a snow hill approaching the foot of the mountain, opened his eyes and looked high, only to see that the Xianbei people had a total of three camps, and the sheltered place not far from the foot of this mountain was the largest, and there were more guards, and from time to time a team of horsemen could be seen walking in front of the camp. This is the Xianbei people's mountain reinforcement Dazhai, about 10,000 people stationed in it.
On the other side of the road, a newly opened road up the hill for three horses, winds its way up, and is cut off by a smaller camp about a mile away. The camp was so well built that not only did it hold the main road down the mountain, but the mountains around the camp were so steep that there was no other way but to pass through the middle of the camp. If you want to go down the mountain, you have to break through the camp here. It was the Xianbei people's pioneer in attacking the mountain, and there were about 3,000 people stationed in it.
A few miles away from the mountain, the Xianbei people also built a large camp, which was located in a relatively flat mountain, but it was an important place to choke the mountain pass, and the Xianbei people's war horses were also stored here. It was the main general of the Xianbei people, Dazhai, and there were about 6,000 people stationed in it.
The camp is facing a narrow rock wall on the left and a steep cliff on the right, and it is in the middle and exit. In the summer and autumn, the camp is still a good place to ventilate and relieve the heat. But in the cold winter season, the camp is a cold and cold place with a howling wind.
There are eight camps in the village that are quite gorgeous, and at a glance it is known that they are inhabited by the various tribes of the Xianbei people, but to get there, you must first break through the two large camps under the mountain, and then break the Xianbei people who are holding on to the danger, so that you can attack this large camp. If we want to rely on a strong attack to achieve such a goal, we are afraid that the 4,000 "blood hatred army" will be wiped out, and this goal may not be achieved.
Although the village guarded by the Xianbei people is strong, the various defensive camps and dangerous places arranged by Wen Chou and others on the mountain are more steep and strong than those of the Xianbei people. It can be described as a one-man affair, and it is impossible to open the trend. In this way, the Xianbei people adopted the most helpless siege method.
At this time, the situation of the two armies was roughly the same, although there were many Xianbei people, they could not attack the mountain. Although the Han army was small, it could not escape from the mountain. The two armies had to fight to the death in the mountains to see who could not hold on, and attack one side first until one side was exhausted.
Han Yi pondered for a moment, then turned to Wang Yang and said, "What are your plans for this?" ”
Wang Yang said with some lack of confidence: "Our army has few soldiers, although we are good at foot combat, but we attack more with less, but I am afraid that we will still be defeated." I want to take advantage of the heavy snow on a snowy night to launch a surprise attack. First dispatched half of the soldiers, and from then on the trail fell down the cliff with a long rope, temporarily restraining the reinforcement camp under the mountain. The other half of the army used a condescending momentum to release fireballs, quickly breaking through the vanguard camp in the middle of the mountain road, and then rushing straight to the main general camp of Xianbei Hulu. If we can attack it unprepared, there should be a chance. ”
Han Yi was dumbfounded when he heard this, and divided the Han army's more than 4,000 people into two parts, attacking Hulu Dazhai with 10,000 people and two other Dazhai with 3,000 plus 6,000 people. This is still a way to attack the ground, but I thought about the time, location and fire attack for a while. If the Han army has as many as 10,000 troops, of course, there will be no problem in doing so, but at this time, it is undoubtedly dead.
It is understandable that Wang Yang would think so, the Han army has a small number of troops, which indeed makes it difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. However, it seems that although Wang Yang has been in the army for a short time, he has some famous generals who win more with less. It can be seen only from the rapid breakthrough of the pioneer Dazhai by the fire attack. It's just other offensive methods, but it's still a little bit worse.
Han Yi led the army, either without fighting, or he must have destroyed a large number of enemies while preserving his army. A strong attack will only be implemented as a last resort. Unless the current Xianbei people are an army worthy of Han Yi's death. However, this Xianbei people are just a group of dogs that have been ruined by the family, and when they chase the people who destroy the family, they block the door and bark wildly. Han Yi just can't get out of the mountain for the time being, and he can't be regarded as a great enemy who must fight to the death.
It's just that the three large camps of the Xianbei people were set up extremely skillfully, and they took advantage of the geographical advantages, plus nearly 20,000 people and momentum. There are not many options to abandon the method of assault. Even if it is himself, he has a great headache for the 10,000-person camp at the foot of the mountain, and it seems that there is really no other way for a while except to contain it.
However, with only 2,000 people to contain 10,000 people, and there is no danger to be guarded, how can people contain them? The Xianbei people are not fools, and they don't know how to send half of their troops to besiege the Han army, and the other half to support the pioneer Dazhai in the mountains. When the Han army attacking the vanguard Dazhai is defeated, the Han army under the mountain will also be unable to escape. In this way, without the support of Hulu's main battalion, the Han army can be defeated.
Han Yi turned several plans in his heart, but all of them fell into a dead knot. The army of 10,000 people in the big camp at the foot of the mountain was like a giant turtle hugging closely, smashing all the plans of the attackers on the mountain to the ground, like an insurmountable obstacle. Is there really no other way to think of it? If the Han army had another army of two or three thousand people, then Han Yi would definitely dare to attack.
Han Yi returned to the mountain and discussed with the generals again how to attack the enemy. The generals have said their own methods, but most of them are methods of strong attack and hard fighting, which are not as clever as Wang Yang's methods.
Han Yi said: "At this time, Hu Lu's revenge is in full swing, everyone dares to fight, and our army is still a little less strong, so we can't carry out a strong attack." In the past, although Junyue's strategy of using horses to separate Hulu was good, the time was too short, and the horses were too few for Hulu, so I couldn't see it for a while. I thought about it, anyway, there is still more food, so it is better to wait a little longer. Anyway, Hu Lu is a group of lost dogs, and after a long time, there will be chaos due to the shortage of materials. At that time, it was the day of the decisive battle of our army. ”
But Suo'er also said: "It's good to wait a little longer." At this time, the snow season has arrived, and the heavy snow under Wuhuan Mountain can reach several feet of flat ground at the deepest and thickest time. Our army lives in the caves on the mountain, but it is not hindered, and the Xianbei people live in the camp at the bottom of the mountain, and they will be trapped by the heavy snow after a long time. At that time, it was the time when our army went to war. ”
The generals thought about it carefully, and Han Yi and Ke Suo'er's words were indeed reasonable, so they extinguished their desire to fight.
