Chapter 68 Decisive Battle of the Huns, Never Die!
Ma Yi - north control Yin Mountain, west of the Yellow River, by the mountains and rivers, hold the danger, pre-Qin period - the general Meng Tian stationed on the Great Wall, see that the sunshine here is sufficient, the water and grass are abundant, ordered to build the city, captive a large number of military horses, for the use of the army, so it is named: Mayi, and Yanmen Pass, Hukou Pass, known as the three major natural hazards of the state!
The location of Mayi is unique, rich in resources, the ancient soldiers must fight for the place, but also the front line of the two major ethnic groups of agriculture and nomadism, repeatedly fighting, fighting constantly, I don't know how much blood was shed, the most famous battle, is the 'siege of Mayi!' ’
After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the Huns often harassed the border, in the seventh year of Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bangqin led an army of 320,000 troops to the north, but he mistakenly fell into a treacherous plan, and was besieged by the Huns for seven days, and finally took advantage of the fog to escape by tricks, this is the 'siege of Baideng!' ’
In the following decades, the Han Dynasty implemented a 'peace policy', using palace maids, silk, polished rice, and fine wine...... To bribe the Huns in exchange for peace on the northern border, and at the same time accumulate strength and plot revenge, until the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the comprehensive national strength was enhanced, and the opportunity for revenge was ripe!
In the second year of the Great Han Dynasty-Yuanguang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered the general Han Anguo, the general of the cavalry, Li Guang, and the general of the light chariot, Gongsun He, to lead 300,000 horses and ambush them in the valley near Mayi, and at the same time sent spies to the grassland to lure the Xiongnu army south, preparing to annihilate it in one fell swoop!
The military ministers were only greedy for money, personally led 100,000 horses into the country, and wanted to sneak attack the fortress of Mayi, but dozens of miles away from the ambush circle, found the traces of the Han soldiers and horses, the Xiongnu army decisively withdrew, the plan of the Han Dynasty fell through, although the siege of Mayi failed, but also opened the war between the Han and the Huns, which lasted for hundreds of years, and the fighting continued, and the corpses were bloody!
After feeling that Gao Gan defected to the Xiongnu and lured the wolf into the house, Xiao Yi immediately led the army and killed the northern border, wanting to eliminate the remnants of the Yuan army, occupy the Mayi fortress before the Xiongnu sent troops, and then use the terrain advantage to fight to the death with the Huns!
The problem is that the northern part of Bingzhou is mountainous, the roads are rugged and difficult to travel, and when the senior cadres led the troops to retreat north, they destroyed the bridges and roads along the way, and Cao's army could only build mountain roads while marching day and night, and the advance speed was extremely slow, and when it was 150 miles away from Mayi, bad news came......
Da Dan Yu - Liu Bao led 100,000 iron cavalry, sent troops from the Hetao Plain, after four days and nights of rapid marching, has arrived at Mayi, Gao Gan out of the city to surrender, led the Huns into the pass, wantonly plundered the Han people, killing and wounding countless people!
"The shameless scum Gao Gan actually led the wolf into the house and scourged the compatriots of the Han family, this great Sima swore to the heavens that he would definitely cut off your dog's head and throw it into the dung pit, so that you will be stinking for 10,000 years!"
Xiao Yi drew his sword in his hand, pointed in the direction of Ma Yi, full of murderous spirit, he hated two kinds of people most in his life: one was a traitor to seek glory, the second was a betrayal of the country, and the third was an illiterate fool......
If the soldiers are used with medicine, the disease is changing, the medicine is also changing, the enemy situation has changed, the original battle plan is bankrupt, and another strategy must be found, Xiao Yi immediately ordered that the army stop advancing, temporarily camp and rest, and at the same time convene a few henchmen to discuss the military aircraft!
An order fell like a mountain, the army immediately buried the pot to make food, after eating and drinking, all got into the tent and fell asleep, a few days of rapid marching, the soldiers were extremely physically exhausted, and they needed to take a good rest, at the same time, the military meeting was held, and the participants were Ma Liu, Da Niu, Gao Shun, Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu, Feng Ji...... Cao Pi and Sima Yi are also among them!
"Gao Gan lured the wolf into the house, opened the defense line of the Great Wall, let the Huns enter the Han realm, occupy my city, kill my people, this hatred, do not share the sky, what are your good plans, please speak freely!"
Xiao Yi took out a map, marking the situation of the enemy and us, and the current battlefield situation can be described in eight words: the enemy is strong and I am weak, and the opportunity has been lost!
The Huns have an army of 100,000 people, iron hooves and scimitars, strong combat power, plus 20,000 remnants of senior cadres, with a total strength of up to 120,000.
Xiao Yi originally had an army of 100,000, but since the Northern Expedition, the soldiers have suffered a lot of casualties, and they have to divide their troops to occupy the city, and the men and horses that can be used to fight are less than 60,000, only half of the enemy!
The Yuan army that was incorporated along the way also had tens of thousands of people, but unfortunately they were strong outside, and if they were put on the battlefield, not only would they not help, but they would be bad, so Xiao Yi put them in the rear and escorted them all to transport grain and grass!
In addition, the Huns occupied the fortress of Mayi, condescending, waiting for work, and were always an elite division; Xiao Yi's men and horses fought bloodily and came from a long journey, but they were a tired army, with a huge difference in strength, and they lost three points before they fought!
"The enemy is outnumbered, the enemy is strong and I am weak, and I have lost the first hand, in such an unfavorable situation, even if Sun Wu and Bai Qi are revived, there is no certainty of victory, the old man has upper, middle and lower three strategies, which can be chosen by Da Sima......"
Jia Xu was resourceful, and in a moment, he came up with three countermeasures, which deserved to be a poisoner who disrupted the country, which made people admire, and everyone listened humbly!
"The best policy: to retreat as an advance, wait for the opportunity - give up the three counties of Yanmen, Xinxing, and Taiyuan, and retreat to Hukou Pass, leaving a team of men and horses to garrison, and the great Sima will march eastward, and join forces with the prime minister, first capture the cities of Hebei, Qing, and Youzhou, and then deal with the Huns with the strength of the whole army!
Medium strategy: build a city in situ, compete for consumption - immediately gather people, prisoners, pick up soil and stones, build cities, defend the southbound passage, fight a war of attrition, the Huns never carry grain and grass, fight to loot for a living, as long as they hold on for four or five months, the enemy army eats up the grain of Yanmen and Xinxing County, and naturally leads the troops to retreat!
Strategy: Send troops to the north and fight to the death -- taking advantage of the unstable foothold of the Huns, our army slaughtered the past and stormed the fortress of Mayi, with the strategy of the Great Sima, the courage of 60,000 soldiers, as long as the command is appropriate, there is a fifty percent chance of victory! ”
"The Huns occupy my city and kill my people, it can be said that people and gods are angry, our army retreats without a fight, isn't it a loss of face for the Han, and the prime minister will also blame!"
"The enemy is outnumbered, and I am waiting for work, and now attacking Mayi is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, if our army is defeated, I am afraid that the entire state will not be able to protect!"
……………………………………
After listening to Jia Xu's strategy, everyone pondered for a moment and began a heated discussion, most people thought that the upper strategy was too cowardly, the next book was too risky, or the middle strategy was safer, but in four or five months, the soldiers tightened their belts and could still hold on!
Of course, there are thousands of people in the family, and there is one person in charge, whether to advance or retreat, whether to fight or defend, you have to listen to the decision of Da Sima, and everyone's eyes are condensed, and they all fall on Xiao Yi............ See a smiling, murderous little black face!
"The ancestors have clouds: those who offend my great Han Tianwei - although they are far away, they will be punished, the Huns have entered the Han realm, our army is afraid of not fighting, ashamed of the ancestors and ancestors, ashamed of future generations, how to stand between heaven and earth?"
Manly, big husband, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, he prefers to go to the tiger mountain, Xiao Yi drew his sword in his hand, and ordered the whole army: After repairing for three days, go to the Mayi fortress and fight to the death with the Huns!
"Go to Mayi, fight the Huns, the blood will not be shed, and the death will not be truce!"
"Go to Mayi, fight the Huns, the blood will not be shed, and the death will not be truce!"
………………………………
The military order was issued, and there was no doubt, everyone pulled out their swords, raised their arms and shouted, fighting with the blood of men, not letting the Huns peep into the Han land, even the poison warrior - Jia Xu, Yin Xiong - Sima Yi, are also shouting loudly, although they are vicious in nature, but they are also men of the Han family, and the national righteousness is not ambiguous!
Of course, the war relies on strategy, not impulse, the heart of the decisive battle has been decided, Xiao Yi began to arrange troops, even if the situation is unfavorable, we must find a way to reverse it, everything is man-made......
"First, let Chen Qun carry out the assassination of the state on his behalf, appease the people, exterminate the rogues, and dredge the rear roads, and we must ensure that the grain, grass, ordnance, and army will be continuously supplied!
Second, he ordered Liangzhou Assassin Shi-Zhong Xuan, select a small group of elite cavalry, set out, go deep into the hinterland of the Xiongnu, kill herdsmen, burn grasslands, and disturb their royal court, so that Liu Bao and Wu Wei will suffer from the enemy on their backs, and it will be difficult to sleep and eat!
Third, I ordered the Black Mountain Army-Zhang Yan, select 20,000 elite troops from the headquarters, quickly move westward, and join me in Mayi, after defeating the Xiongnu, I will recommend him to the Prime Minister and canonize him as the general of Zhenbei and the rank of Pavilion Marquis! ”
Xiao Yi gave three orders in a row, all of which were good strategies to turn the situation around, and then he took the pen in his hand, wrote a letter, and sent his henchmen to the grassland from the trail to send it to the second king-Zhao Lang!
The three giants of the Huns: Liu Bao, Uwei, and Zhao Lang, are all heroes who have tens of thousands of troops and dominate one side, if the three of them form an alliance and send troops south together, Xiao Yi will also have to retreat, fortunately, they are not in harmony internally, and they have been calculating each other!
Xiao Yi's purpose in writing the letter was not to ask Zhao Lang to send troops to help, as long as he didn't help each other, with the cunning of the eldest brother, he wouldn't refuse, are the two sides relatives after all!
Of course, in the face of political interests, relatives are also in vain, the key is victory or defeat, strength or weakness, if Xiao Yi is defeated, Zhao Lang will definitely fall into the well and send troops to get a piece of the pie, on the contrary, if Xiao Yi wins, Zhao Lang will also send troops, bloody Hun court, copy Liu Bao's nest!
After the arrangement, Xiao Yibing retired from everyone, sat alone in the tent and thought, the way to deal with the Huns, since ancient times, there are many battles with less to win more, it depends on the commander's ability, as long as it is used properly, wind, frost, rain and snow, thunder, lightning, water and fire...... All the power of nature can help kill the enemy!
One of the most powerful is water and fire, the so-called water and fire are ruthless, the big battles in Chinese history are often fire, flooding, and millions of corpses are ambushed at every turn, the question is, how do you borrow water and fire?
"Brothers have worked hard, with these black stones, we don't have to chop wood every day!"
"These are treasures, they are hard, burn-resistant, and don't emit black smoke, let's dig some more!"
…………………………………………
Just thinking about it, there was a burst of cheers outside, Xiao Yi hurriedly sent someone to investigate, it turned out to be a person from the 'digging army', and found a coal mine nearby, which was very shallow and rich in reserves, so that the soldiers could cook conveniently, and they didn't have to worry about firewood!
Coal is a thing that is recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", called "Shi Ni", or "graphite", but unfortunately no one will use it, Xiao Yi did Shanyang Taishou when he happened to find an open-pit coal mine to solve the problem of heating refugees, since then, people have begun to use coal, I like it very much!
However, in this era, the technology is backward, the coal is buried deeply, and it is very difficult to mine, so the coal is quite scarce, and it is only used by dignitaries and soldiers in the army, and the common people have to chop wood for cooking!
After figuring out the situation, Xiao Yi smiled dumbly, and the state is the Shanxi of the later generations, rich in coal resources, the best in the world, if it is the balance of years, after he unloads his armor and returns to the field, he comes here to be a 'coal boss', which is also a good way to make money!
"Hmm...... Coal can burn fire, flames can destroy the enemy, God help me, let the yellow rat come to see me quickly, there are important things to arrange! ”
"No!"
