Chapter 404: The Great War of Han (I)
"Tell the general, a Hu people are coming to our army. There were about 10,000 horsemen, and their subordinates led cattle, both old and young. It seems to be on the move. ”
In the camp of the Han army, a Han army scout rushed over and told Xu Huang.
"Have you already scared the snakes? Tens of thousands of Huns wandered away, often dispatching rangers to look around, they knew that our army was coming, and they dared to move forward? ”
Huang Zhong looked stunned for a moment, and then asked the Han army scout.
"We heard the sound of cattle and horses neighing in the distance, and dismounted to spy on them. No Hu scouts have been found. After observing for a long time, the Hu people are still very original, coming straight to our army, and now it is predicted that they will be more than 200 miles away from our army. ”
The scout replied to Huang Zhong.
"Komeito, what do you think? The Southern Xiongnu military force is far more than that, what does Gongming think the Southern Xiongnu mean by this move? Could it be the machinations of the Southern Huns. ”
Huang Zhong asked Xu Huang instead.
Their task was to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, and deter the Huns from not daring to go north in a short time. Gain time and defeat the Western Xianbei.
But how can you be willing to eat the meat in your mouth if you don't eat it?
"Our army has 43,000 armor, all of them elite soldiers. This area is square and round, and you can see it at a glance. Our army has the tendency to charge. If the Hu people only have more than 10,000 horsemen, our army can swallow them. Even if there are 100,000 cavalry on the opposite side, our army can adapt to the situation. ”
Xu Huang said to everyone.
"What Gongming said is that the Nanting Xiongnu did not have 100,000 cavalry at all, and according to reliable sources, there were more than 50,000 cavalry in the main part and other departments. In terms of troops, it is on par with our army. If the whole army of the Southern Xiongnu is dispatched, we will not be able to ask for it. Huang Zhong nodded and said.
"Well...... do the two generals mean that they are going to war with which part of the Southern Huns? It's not in line with the lord's intentions. Xu Chu looked up in surprise.
Previously, Xu Huang and Huang Zhong also said that they would scare the Southern Xiongnu and not fight with force.
Now they are going to attack, so inconsistent.
"Zhong Kang didn't know, the Lord said, knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger. When we defeat this Huns, we can show more deterrence. At that time, the main force of the Xiongnu did not dare to go north. ”
Huang Zhong explained to Xu Chu.
"In that case, let the general give the order. The Wumo sword army is willing to be the forerunner and chisel through the Huns in front. Xu Chu asked Xu Huang for his life.
"The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible. Our army must perfect its strategy, and when attacking the Huns in front, keep an eye on whether there are still Huns in the rear of the Huns. ”
Xu Huang didn't know that the Qian tribe was alone, after all, south of the desert and west of the Yellow River. There may have been fleeing Xiongnu tribes.
"Our army has 20,000 cavalry, 20,000 cavalry infantry, and 3,000 Modao heavy infantry. I suggested that the 20,000 cavalry should be divided into two routes, with 10,000 cavalry detouring from the left flank and 10,000 cavalry detouring from the right flank. 20,000 horsemen marched along the left flank to the rear of the Xiongnu, all of them opened an army formation, and if reinforcements arrived, they could resist. The Modao army advanced head-on. ”
Huang Zhong explained his tactics and suggested to Xu Huang.
This array is self-evident, the cavalry on both wings is cavalry, responsible for driving away Xianbei and driving the Qianzu to the Modao army.
The Mo Dao Army wielded butcher knives and slashed them.
"Brother Hansheng's arrangement, both offensive and defensive, is very good. If the reinforcements of the Southern Huns do not come, it is fine, and if they come, they will help the general solve the big trouble. ”
Xu Huang stroked his hands and praised.
"Without further ado, send troops now, and strive to annihilate this Hun cavalry before dusk. I led my troops to the left flank. ”
Huang Zhong said to Xu Chu and Xu Huang.
"Of course I'm leading my Modao Army." Xu Chu said.
"I led 10,000 cavalry on the right flank to cooperate with Brother Han Sheng. The 20,000 cavalry was led by my deputy general Xu Ding, one was to intercept the Huns' escape, and the other was to resist the Huns' coming to help. ”
Xu Huang considered that the Jilusai cavalry was not led by a fierce general, so he led his own cavalry and let his cavalry be led by Xu Chu's brother, Xu Ding.
Xu Ding is also a famous general in history, although it is not enough to command the division of a thousand times, but Xu Huang plans the overall situation, and Xu Ding is only responsible for preventing trouble.
If you can really command the division of a thousand times, Xu Huang can't do it.
Those who can dominate the master of ten thousand vehicles, Cao Cao can't do it. Otherwise, there would be no defeat of Chibi.
There are many factors for this, but there is no reason for defeat.
As soon as the order was issued, a famous Han cavalry abandoned the camp. Step on the warhorse.
One team, one army, one army, planned with each other, and soon assembled.
Huang Zhong led an army of 10,000 cavalry, one man and two horses, and galloped to the desert on the left.
Xu Huang led 10,000 chickens and deer to ride into the desert, one person and two horses, and galloped to the desert on the right.
The two armies were interspersed with thousands of scout cavalry, passing messages to each other.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Ding led 20,000 cavalry infantry from the left flank, aiming at the rear of the Qian. They were all one man and one horse, and in addition to that, there were three thousand pack horses.
Among the Han army, there was no shortage of war horses.
Liu Fan fought, as well as the hussars fought, and was very keen on snatching the enemy's horses. The second is the Xianbei horn bow.
Xianbei's horn bow was a relatively outstanding horse bow in this era.
In a war, if you consume a batch of war horses, you will get a batch of more war horses.
Danhan Mountain Horse Farm, Xia Lake Horse Farm, and Mayi Horse Farm are the three major horse farms created by Liu Fan.
In recent years, a number of excellent war horses have also been produced.
After the cavalry and cavalry left, Xu Chu ordered the soldiers of the Modao Army to load lightly, carry the Modao sword and armor from the war horses, and go south.
The heavy armor and the Mo knife are too heavy, they have to maintain the peak physical strength, and when the two sides approach, the servants will quickly put on the heavy armor for the Mo Dao soldiers, and face the battle with the peak physical strength.
Ulan Bu and the desert are hundreds of miles to the south, which is the Tengger Desert, a little east is Helan Mountain, and a little west is the remaining veins of Qilian Mountain.
The ice and snow had already dissipated in the sun, and the Modao army was on Ulan Bu and the desert, one man and four horsemen, stepping on the yellow sand, to meet their second battle.
This time, their long knives were pointed at the Southern Xiongnu, or rather the Qian.
Hundreds of miles ahead of the Modao Army were all light cavalry scouts exploring the way. As soon as there was a stir, he immediately reported to the Modao Army.
And Ye Yiyu led the soldiers of the Qiang tribe, and the people did not know that the danger was quietly approaching.
"Chief, do you feel anything unusual?"
At the end of the day, a general of the Qiang tribe noticed that something was wrong and said to Ye Yiyu in surprise.
"What?" Ye Yiyu was showing off to his subordinates, looking forward to a better future, and when he was asked by this general, he looked stunned and didn't know why.
At this moment, the face of the general of the Qiang tribe changed drastically, and he stretched out his hand and pointed forward tremblingly.
There was no figure in sight, but a "boom" could be faintly heard.
The direction from which they came was their north.
At this time, not only the generals of the Qiang tribe heard it, but even the cavalry of the Qiang tribe were aware of it.
"This is, the voice of the cavalry. The north is a desert, there are no nomadic tribes stationed, and it is not the territory of the Han people, why is there such a sound of thousands of horses galloping? ”
Ye Yiyu, who had returned to God, said in horror.
