Hu Chuquan said: "As for the battle strategy of the mud leakage, I don't know this. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
The enemy situation was so big that it was clear, but Han Yi was not at ease, so he shouted: "Wang Yang, you quickly lead people to the north to investigate and see if there are any other Southern Xiongnu rebels behind our army." Cheng Qi and Yu Hua, the rebels of the Southern Huns are approaching, and you quickly send orders to the Changshan armies on both flanks to respond to the enemy according to the plan. Yu Fuluo alone, you must quickly return to the army and prepare to meet the enemy, otherwise it will be too late. ā
"Yes, my lord!" Cheng Qi and Yu Hua hurriedly rode away, but Yu Fuluo on the side smiled awkwardly: "That, Han Taishou, although there are 10,000 horsemen in our department, most of them are people who have just surrendered, and they have a very close connection with traitors, and they also fight across the river from the two wings of the Chinese army. I'm afraid they're going to make trouble, aren't ......?"
Han Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you want to retreat all over the river?" So how can our army defeat the rebels? Rest assured, the two wings of our army will immediately cross the river and fight against the water, helping you, you do not need to retreat. Are you afraid of chaos among your subordinates? It's also reassuring. Their families were all behind me at this time, and they couldn't make any big waves. But if all of them retreat to the rear of our Chinese army, together with their families, I will be in a situation where I will be exposed to the enemy in the event of a rebellion. So, it's better to let them be on the other side of the river as well. ā
Yu Fuluo replied repeatedly: "It turns out that Han Taishou has already made up his mind, huh? Is this the last battle of the Marquis of Huaiyin? This...... The odds ...... Okay, I'm going to cross the river and take command. ā
Han Yi hurriedly grabbed Yu Fuluo again, and said with a smile: "Although Han has a plan, this strategy is too dangerous, and I am afraid that there is something inconsiderate." Yu Fuluo is the lord of a country, and this matter of leading troops to fight is still not to take risks. If you didn't take the lead before, it is normal to lead the troops to take risks, but now that you are a single person, you should know how to avoid risks. Anyway, your brother and uncle are here, so you might as well let them command at the front. You can watch the battle with the Chinese army on this side of the river. Brother Fengxian, Brother Wen, Jun Yue is annoying you to lead three thousand Xianbei Turquoise horses across the river to help the Southern Huns! ā
Lu Bu, Wen Chou, Gao Ran and other generals surrendered their orders, and Yu Fuluo was about to shirk the help soldiers, but Han Yi forcibly took Yu Fuluo's hand and said: "Shan Yu was a famous general of the Southern Huns, and he knows the combat methods of the Southern Hun rebels well, so you might as well follow me to look around to see how the defense of our Chinese army is?" Will it be able to withstand the rebels' surprise attack around the river? ā
As he spoke, he didn't let Yu Fuluo struggle, and forced him to leave. Hu Chuquan and Qubei were dumbfounded, I don't know what Han Yi and Yu Fuluo's private intentions were? Seeing that Han Yi kept waving them to leave, the two had to glance at Yu Fuluo, who was expressionless, and turned around to go to the front to command the army.
Most of the forwards in Fuluo were directly subordinate to the old department of Qiangqu Shan Yu in the past, and when Yu Fuluo was absent, Hu Chuquan, the second son of Qiangqu, went to command, which was also the proper meaning. After Yu Fuluo had 10,000 cavalry, he wanted to sit and watch the fight between the Han army and the rebels, and he came to enjoy his success, how could Han Yi let him get his wish. Replaced by the relatively honest Hu Chuquan as the main general, and with the surveillance of Lu Bu and others, it will definitely make the striker fight to the death.
Han Yi originally thought that he would not encounter the main force of the Southern Xiongnu rebels on the east bank of the Yellow River, and would only after sweeping away the scattered rebels on the east bank of the Yellow River, he would be interrupted and raided by the Southern Xiongnu rebels when crossing the Yellow River. It is because of the bitter battle when crossing the Yellow River, and the death battle against the river after crossing the Yellow River, the generals have long been mentally prepared. They also held discussions on the variables of various battlefields, and decided on three countermeasures: A, B, and C.
I don't want to be today but I encountered the Southern Xiongnu rebels on the bank of the Weifen River, although the Weifen River is not small, there are more than ten zhang wide, but it is not worth mentioning compared to the Yellow River. Compared with fighting the rebels on the Yellow River, fighting on the Weifen River made Han Yi and other generals happy. Even if it is a back-to-back battle, the success rate will be greatly increased.
On weekdays, the Han people can resist the Hulu cavalry, several magic weapons are the walled city, the barracks, the car camp and the strong crossbow, there is no strong camp to resist in the field, the wind is as fast as the fire as fierce as the Hulu cavalry.
However, Han Yi did not have any of these things at this time, but the combat power of the Han army at this time was not worse than that of the rebels, and it could be said that it was evenly matched with the rebels, as long as nothing went wrong, it was basically between one win and one loss, but Han Yi was confident that this battle would be able to break the rebels of the Southern Huns.
According to the ratio of troops, the Southern Xiongnu rebels were about 50,000 horsemen; The Han army was 40,000 people, including 15,000 Southern Xiongnu and Xianbei cavalry, and 25,000 Han cavalry soldiers, which was not too much difference.
According to the terrain ratio, the Southern Huns had the advantage of cavalry, and the Han army had the convenience of the riverbed. The ground near the riverbed was wet and soft, and although it was inconvenient for people to step on it, it could greatly slow down the impact of enemy cavalry on the Han army's foot soldiers. However, the Han infantry could strike with Han bows and one-armed crossbows, which were superior to those of the Southern Huns and had a longer range. The Southern Xiongnu rebels wanted to retreat, and the army had 15,000 cavalry soldiers to pursue, and it was difficult for the rebels to be undefeated.
The only thing to worry about is whether the Southern Xiongnu rebels really only came with 50,000 horsemen? Is that the Bone Bone Marquis Shan Yu really sitting on the sidelines? Han Yi's 5,000 foot soldiers, 2,000 cavalry soldiers, 35,000 people, and the families of the Southern Huns, who were not going to the river at this time, hurriedly set up camps, and stationed grain, grass, horses, cattle and sheep, just to prevent a possible sneak attack by the Marquis of Xubu Gudu.
Although Han Yi's Chinese army did not cross the river, it did not affect the combat capability of the army. Because the main force of the battle was the Changshan soldiers, and when the Changshan soldiers left the Changshan country, they had many instructions to pay their salaries, and Han Yi was not worried that the five generals of the Changshan army would not be willing to fight to the death. And Chang Shan's soldiers are quite strong, although they are not as good as Han Yi's Chinese army overall, they are not much worse.
The only thing to worry about is that the Southern Hun soldiers are monitored by Lu Bu and other generals, and Huchuquan and Qubei are not as shrewd as Fuluo, so there is no need to worry too much.
33,000 against 50,000 men, and 7,000 troops who could cross the river at any time to reinforce the battle, a total of more than 90,000 people, the battle line was distributed on the banks of the 14 or 5 miles long river. It is difficult for Han Yi to take care of it as the main general, and most of the soldiers and horses are not his direct subordinates, so he leaves all the matters in the battle to the free play of the generals.
"Han Fujun, look, what's ahead?" A watchtower temporarily erected on the central hill, the watchout sentry, suddenly shouted at Han Yi who was looking around to defend Han Yi below. Han Yi raised his head and glared at him, so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything more. In fact, at this time, most of the whole army saw and heard, and they all felt the uneasiness from the south.
The black stones that had appeared in front of them for no apparent reason turned black soon after. The rumbling sound kept coming from the black stone, and the soldiers naturally knew what it was through the herald. And most of the Han people on the frontier knew what this meant, and a thought came to everyone's minds at the same time: the wolf is coming!
Yes, the wolf is coming. In the past, the Huns were called wolf cavalry, and although the current Huns have declined, the southern Huns have inherited this title and dominated the world in the name of the wolf cavalry.
However, over the years, the oath and usual taming of the Southern Xiongnu when they took refuge in the Han court have made most of the Han people forget their titles. It was only last year's and this year's rebellion that made the Han people know that the wolf rider is always a wolf rider, a wolf that will attack its master, not a loyal hunting dog.
The scene generated in front of it, only tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of steppe cavalry brigades marching, can have such an earth-shattering momentum!
Suddenly, a sharp cry came from a few miles behind him, which was the sound of the eagle raised by Wang Yang. Han Yi's face sank, what he was worried about still happened, the Southern Huns took advantage of the riding to detour through the rear of the Han army, wanting to attack back and forth on the banks of the Weifen River and completely defeat the Han army.
Han Yi turned over and rushed out from the Chinese army, Wei Yue, Cheng Lian and other guards hurriedly followed, and Han Yi ran until the small hill in the center of the camp before stopping.
"I planted the banner of the Chinese army here, and ordered the Chinese army, the families of the heavy people, and the Southern Hun soldiers to come here to speed up the construction of the camp. The construction of pontoon bridges for transporting materials should also be accelerated. Ordered the two wings of the Changshan Army not to turn back, their task was to defeat the 50,000 rebels on the south bank, and the unknown enemy cavalry on the north bank was my own force. ā
"Yes!"
I saw that the soldiers of the Chinese army, the people and the Southern Huns built camps, and crossed the river with the Changshan soldiers on both wings, all in a hurry. Unconsciously, several generals who did not have the task of camping seemed to have a tacit understanding and generally came to Han Yi's back, and they were silent one by one, with a heavy heart.
If they were still confident of victory before, at this time, with the sound of enemy police from the north, they were a little hesitant about the original victory. The total number of the Southern Huns was only 300,000, and even if all the people were soldiers, there were only 70,000 or 80,000 people who could control the strings and fight. Even if all the men under the age of 15 and over the age of 60 are added, it will not exceed 100,000.
However, there are 50,000 cavalry rebels from the south, so how many will come from the north?
Han Yi glanced at Yu Fuluo and said, "Yu Fuluo Shan Yu, I originally thought that with you here, the rebels of the Southern Xiongnu would be greatly reduced, and 50,000 horsemen would be all." But I don't want to, with you here, the entire Southern Huns will rebel. ā
Yu Fuluo pursed his lips, his face gloomy and silent. Although I don't know how many enemies there are in the north, if I dare to flank the 40,000 Han-Hungarian troops in front and rear, there will be no less than 30,000 horsemen. In this way, Han Yi is not bad, and only when the entire Southern Huns rebel will they gather so many people and horses.
The hill where Han Yi and the others stood had a wide field of vision, especially when it was a sunny day today, and people with good eyesight stood here. You can see twenty miles away. Therefore, soon after, the cavalry of the enemy brigade in the north could also be seen from afar, and indeed as expected, the whole people of the southern Xiongnu rebelled, and there were 40,000 horsemen.
