Chapter 180 What should come is always coming

Yun Lang prides himself on being a witness to history, and when he really faces history, he finds that history is not so kind to everyone.

The Huns are now miserable, and in fact, his life as a general in charge of the defense of the northwest is not good.

Huo Qubing is the commander of the army, as long as he manages the army well, as long as the army does not suffer major damage, he has no guilt at all.

As for the victory over the Huns, it depends on the actual situation on the battlefield.

Liu Che is not a fool, he will not let his most elite army of 30,000 plus Yunlang's 20,000 rabble touch the army of a million Huns.

This time, the million-strong army of the Huns was not casually talked, but there were really as many as a million.

And it was the full power of the Huns.

If they win, the Huns will escape, and if they are defeated, the Huns will be wiped out.

In such a situation, it is not up to the Huns not to fight seriously.

The battle situation is very unfavorable for Yun Lang......

Fortunately, Liu Che's will finally came, and the sentence 'act cheaply' made Yun Lang raise his heart to his throat.

Every time the emperor said this, he actually had expectations for the battle situation in his heart.

He hoped to defeat the enemy by giving great power to the border generals.

This emperor would never say anything to his subordinates to retreat, take a detour, and preserve his strength, he believes that if he is a true warrior, he will dare to face adversity, and if he is a true hero, he should fight his way out in adversity.

He likes to create countless warriors, but he doesn't like Yun Lang very much, who always wants to defeat the enemy without blood.

He has only experienced the battlefield once in his life, and he is still surrounded by countless warriors in the mouth of the white wolf.

Just this time, he was proud for many years, relying on his own imagination on the battlefield to guide his generals in battle.

The north wind is as tight as a gust, and the bitter cold is better than a day...... However, the soft cannot be kept, and the strong cannot be long, which also shows that the winter is about to pass.

From Yangguan to Yumen Pass, if you walk the city wall, one day is enough, this more than 70 miles of city wall, Yun Lang doesn't remember how many times he walked through.

For this reason, Huo Quzhi was extremely incomprehensible.

Since Liu Ling's scouts froze to death on the marmot beach, it shows that Liu Ling's target is in Wusun Kingdom.

It is impossible for Liu Ling to travel thousands of miles to Yangguan, and the front line of Yumen Pass to do siege warfare with the Han army, the Huns do not have the time and ability.

Yun Lang disagreed, he felt that the Huns were already on the verge of madness, and there was nothing they could not do.

Anyway, if he is Liu Ling, robbing Yumen and Yangguan is far greater than robbing Wusun Kingdom.

"Hmph, the cavalry is running thousands of miles, you know what it means?

You don't understand cavalry at all! ”

"It's not that I don't understand cavalry, it's that you don't understand Liu Ling!"

Huo Qubing thought that the army should be dispatched in groups, staring at the Huns, and waiting for an opportunity to bite off a piece of meat from the fleeing Hun brigade, which was in line with the essence of cavalry.

Yun Lang believes that this is wrong, it doesn't matter how many Huns are killed or injured, it is correct to make yourself invincible first.

The Hun brigade bypassed Yangguan, after the Yumen Pass, it was not too late to pursue the Huns, anyway, they had to drive cattle and sheep, and take women and children to act together, and sooner or later they could catch up.

For Yun Lang's conservatism, not only Huo Quzhi was a little dissatisfied, but even Zhang Qian and Sui Yue, two guys who didn't know anything about military bullshit, also had doubts about the strategy of guarding Yangguan and Yumen Pass.

Huo Quzhi's influence on others in the military is too great, and this commander, who has never been defeated, can make many people follow blindly as long as he speaks.

"Go to the disease, if you talk about attacking, no one in the world can be on your right, but if you count all the wars you have experienced, you will find that you have never taken the initiative to defend, your strategy is, attack, attack, attack.

Driven by you, the cavalry rushes forward, killing countless enemies, no matter how you fight, the first opportunity is always yours, you can always take the lead, kill the enemy by surprise.

This time it was different, Liu Ling's subordinates were not tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, but a whole million.

You have too few troops to hold a million at the same time.

They only need to entangle you with tens of thousands of people, and there is still enough army to complete the rest of Liu Ling's mission.

Even if our brothers go out with an empty nest, how many Huns can we hold back?

200,000 to the sky.

In the flat wasteland of the Northwest, they can fight us while sending their own surplus army for whatever they want.

This time in the four counties of Hexi, I used heavy canons, killing people without counting, and used my strength to temporarily twist the four counties of Hexi into a rope.

Since brute force has been used, this force will have to be exerted for a while longer, so that the Qiang people can gradually get used to high pressure, and only then can they be regarded as achieving their basic purpose.

If the Huns take advantage of the situation and run in to plague it, the authority we have just established will dissipate.

The gains outweigh the losses. ”

If it was someone else, Huo Quzhi would definitely be stubborn, in the face of Yun Lang, he did not continue to insist, in the end, he still decided to lead the people of his headquarters to look for the Huns after Sanjiu, and after finding it, he waited for the opportunity to find fighters.

Yun Lang led the soldiers and horses belonging to General Wei to continue to hold on to Yumen Pass, Yangguan and Dunhuang, and operated this triangular area into a fortress through the city wall to guard the gate for the four counties of Hexi.

For this plan, Huo Qubing was not satisfied, and Yun Lang was also dissatisfied, under such a plan, the offensive force was not enough to make the Huns feel threatened, and the defensive force was not enough to discourage the Huns.

The combat strategy of not relying on two is the only arrangement they can make at present.

It is said that war is a continuation of politics, and Yun Lang didn't believe it before, but now, he has to believe it.

In many cases, it is politics that determines the course of war.

No matter how closely Yun Lang and Huo Quzhi are related, at this time, it is like a pair of invisible hands pushing them, making them involuntarily make a decision against their will.

Perhaps this is the purpose of Liu Che's division of military power.

Huo Quzhi's goal is to attack, and Yun Lang's goal is to defend, and there is no possibility that the two have anything in common.

The opposing military objectives put an end to any possibility of the two joining forces.

This may be what Liu Che wants to see.

The city wall of Yanmen Pass is not as tall as Yunlang expected, and the same is true of the city wall of Yangguan, in the barren Dunhuang, it is almost a luxury to find a big tree, and it is impossible to talk about building a tall city pass.

Before Yun Lang came to Dunhuang, he wanted to burn bricks on the spot to achieve the purpose of building a city, and when he really faced this desert, he knew that the deviation between the idea and the reality was too great.

The damn north wind howled and swooped down on the city wall, always taking away some dirt, and the Yangguan that was just built was blown by the north wind for half a winter, and the reeds used to fix the soil in the city wall were exposed to the air, and when the wind blew it, it made a ghostly cry.

"Does the general really think that Liu Ling will come to Yangguan?" Sui Yue faced Yun Lang with a gloomy face, and he really couldn't muster up the courage to speak loudly.

"Only by blocking us in the city can the Huns do whatever they want in the Western Regions, Sui Yue, you should know that in the Northwest Lands, we are the really weak side.

That's why I have to change your strategy. ”

"In that case, why didn't the general ask His Majesty for reinforcements?" Sui Yue was puzzled.

Yun Lang smiled bitterly: "The memorabilia I asked Your Majesty to change the strategy is actually a memora to Your Majesty asking for reinforcements.

Your Majesty understood it, so he sent Li Guangli to me. ”

Sui Yue sighed and stopped talking, he knew that what he just said was a nonsense, the army of the Great Han State was attacking from all sides, whether it was in the north or in the south, it was full of war clouds, and the emperor only had 120,000 guards left in his hands.

This army is the last strength of the emperor, how can it be sent to the northwest?

"Liu Ling left Beihai ahead of schedule and made us miserable." Sui Yue could only blame Liu Ling and the enemy, and there was no way to say that these were all Liu Che's faults in miscalculation.

Yun Lang smiled: "The enemy is not wrong, it is only us who is wrong, don't say such things in the future, make people laugh."

At this time, shouldering the responsibility of your long history, I want you to immediately start counting all the men in Yangguan, Yumen Pass, and Dunhuang, and start training them, and always be ready to go to the city wall to fight. ”

Sima Qian sighed and said, "I always felt that this winter was too long, but now I just hope that this winter can last longer. ”
