Chapter 435: War in the North

However, it is precisely because the Xiliang aliens have returned to the New Han Dynasty that the situation in Xiliang can be straightened out so quickly. Therefore, accepting the aliens of Xiliang is not a bad thing for the New Han Dynasty. Otherwise, it will be completely necessary for the New Han Army to slowly fight down from place to place, town by town, and there will be no years for fear of not thinking about it.

It can be said that in addition to the power of Wuwei City, which is still breathing, Xiliang has been completely under the rule of the New Han Dynasty, and has basically unified Xiliang. Next, there was the chaotic Xiliang Dazhi period for dozens or hundreds of years.

And the New Han Dynasty, all of a sudden, was equivalent to obtaining hundreds of thousands of foreign cavalry, and its power increased once again.

The snowflake-like express soon spread to all parts of Dahan.

Of course, the first to get the good news of Xiliang was naturally Liu Yi, who was preparing to lead the army north in Luoyang.

As early as that day, on the day when the Xiliang alien cavalry attacked the coalition army of the Xiliang princes and won a great victory, Jia Xu had already sent someone to report the good news to the imperial court.

Therefore, Liu Yi naturally learned the information much earlier than the princes of the world.

When he received the hundreds of thousands of troops that had destroyed the princes of Xiliang, Liu Yi knew that the overall situation of Xiliang had been decided. At that time, in the name of the imperial court, Liu Yi expressed his commendation to Jia Xu, Ma Teng, Ma Chao and others, affirming their achievements and merits. However, considering the overall situation of Xiliang, it is not appropriate to immediately transfer military horses from Xiliang. Let's keep them in Xiliang for the overall situation. After all, in Liu Yi's heart, he was not very relieved about the Xiliang alien race. Keep the army in Xiliang, let them cooperate with the imperial court to establish official offices in Xiliang, and achieve the final rule of Xiliang.

But. Yan Liang and Wen Chou can consider recalling. Summoning him back. Xiliang also has Ma Teng, Ma Chao and his sons, as well as Pang De, Hua Xiong, Xu Rong, Hao Zhao and other generals. It is enough to cope with the situation of Xiliang.

In fact, in the Xiliang Ma Chao Army, there are still many generals who can fight well, and there are many generals in Ma Chao's army who belong to the strength of second-rate generals. It's just that under the accounts of super generals such as Ma Chao and Pang De, they rarely have a shining moment, and it is difficult for the world to recognize them. It's like Dong Zhuo back then. Under his account, there are also many second- and third-rate generals. However, in terms of strategists, Xiliang seems to be slightly lacking, and he has to transfer many civil officials from the imperial court to Xiliang to assist Jia Xu.

In this way, Liu Yi can also officially set the schedule and prepare to send troops to the north, together with Zhao Yun, Gongsun Zhan, Gao Shun, and Xi Zhicai, to conquer Wuhuan.

Just wait for Yan Liang and Wen Chou to return, and then they can officially set out.

And this time. Zhao Yun, Gongsun Zhan, Gao Shun and other armies in the north will not wait, they will send troops day after day, all the way from Shanhaiguan and Daijun. Troops were sent from Liaodong to attack and advance in the direction where the Wuhuan alien army was gathered.

For several days, among the grasslands and mountains outside the gate. A piece of chickens and dogs jumped, and the wind was roaring.

Outside Shanhaiguan. Hundreds of miles in a radius are already in the hands of the New Han Army. Those Wuhuan alien races hiding in the mountains and forests had nothing to hide, and most of them were found by the New Han Army. Their fate is determined by the characteristics of their tribe, and some of them will be wiped out by the New Han Army countless times, and they will disappear into the vast mountains and forests, and after many years, they will no longer be found. Some, a little more pure, were driven out of their hiding places by the New Han Army and gathered together to be taken into custody.

For the actions of the New Han Army, the aliens were terrified, and the undead aliens had completely lost their autonomy over their own fate, and could only pray in their hearts, hoping that the New Han Army would not go on a killing spree and not treat the Han people as cruelly as their tribes.

When many aliens have been burning and plundering the Han people in Guannei for thousands of years, would they have thought that one day, the Han people would break into their homes and raise bloody butcher knives against them? It's a report and a report.

They should also be glad that those of them who can still be detained and have not been killed by the New Han Army should be glad that they are not too mad and have not been too brutal and cruel to the Han people. Of course, there may be some aliens among them, and they should be more glad that even if they have killed the Han people, enslaved the Han people, and burned and looted the Han people, but for the time being, they have no handle to be caught by the New Han army, so they can survive death.

The actions of the New Han Army also alarmed more Wuhuan alien tribes. For a time, tribes large and small, when they received the news and knew that the military horses of the New Han Army were searching for them in the grasslands and forests, they fled for their lives from their settlements and fled north to the assembly place of the Wuhuan army. Flee to the foot of Chifeng Mountain.

However, Zhao Yun felt a little surprised after attacking outside the pass for a few days, because his scout spies actually found that the Wuhuan alien army had not yet sent troops to the border of the New Han Dynasty. His own three-way army has made such a big move, and the Wuhuan King is still calm?

In fact, for Zhao Yun, he hoped that because of the actions of his New Han Army, the Wuhuan people would not be able to bear it, and immediately sent troops to carry out a targeted attack on his New Han Army. In this way, Zhao Yunfang can look for fighters to attack the Wuhuan army in the movement war.

You must know that Zhao Yun, Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Du, Gao Shun and others took the lead in sending troops to attack the Wuhuan alien race outside the pass. One is to be the vanguard of this expedition against Wuhuan, and the other is to not want the flames of war to burn in the pass of their New Han Dynasty. Strive to divide the victory and defeat with the Wuhuan army outside the pass. The three of them naturally figured out the actions of the Guò New Han Army, and then mobilized the Wuhuan army to find an opportunity to attack and strike.

That, this time, the Wuhuan tribe has gathered too many people. There were more than a million military horses. For the time being, it is impossible for the New Han Army to transfer so many military horses at the same time to fight with it at once.

If the Wuhuan army is really allowed to act together and attack the New Han Dynasty, then the New Han Army is afraid that it will be difficult to block the entry of the Wuhuan army head-on. With the more than 300,000 or 400,000 New Han troops in Shanhaiguan, it is indeed a bit inadequate to defend the section of the Great Wall that is more than 2,000 miles long.

Therefore, instead of passive defense, it is better to take the initiative to attack.

But. The Wuhuan army has never moved, why is this? When. Are those aliens able to hold their breath so calmly?

It is impossible that its army is gathered at the foot of Chifeng Mountain. Just to attract the New Han army to fight a decisive battle, right? Or is there some conspiracy?

Well, there is no big conspiracy, but the main reason is that the Wuhuan King is not very optimistic about the prospect of invading the New Han Dynasty, and he does not dare to act lightly because he is afraid of the New Han Army. In addition, it is also to reassert its authority on the prairie, waiting for those Wuhuan tribes who have not arrived for a long time, to take this opportunity. To truly unify the Wuhuan people and the prairie.

Of course, more importantly, I still want to wait for Xiliang and Yizhou to take action. Let's take a look at the shape first, and see if there is a riot in Yizhou and Xiliang as Liu Bei said, attacking the New Han Dynasty and putting the New Han Dynasty in an unfavorable situation. When the time comes, his army. Only then can he go south in one fell swoop and plunder the Han realm with the momentum of thunder.

In his heart, he had already made up his mind. Either he doesn't move, or he doesn't. It's about success in one fell swoop.

If Xiliang and Yizhou Hanzhong are in hand, they can make the New Han Dynasty fall into passivity. Let people see the chance that it is possible to destroy the New Han Dynasty in one fell swoop, then. He planned to raise his clan to kill the Han and occupy the Han Dynasty. Otherwise, he planned to attack Liaodong first, plunder Liaodong, and obtain the materials needed by their tribe. Then, depending on the situation, the army broke into the territory of the Han Dynasty, plundered and left.

Anyway, the Wuhuan King had already made up his mind in his heart, and he would never give the New Han Army the same way that he destroyed his own Wuhuan tribe.

Therefore, his army will move together if it wants to move, or it will not move. He felt that as long as his army was gathered here, the New Han Army would not be able to help them no matter what.

However, at this time, the king of Wuhuan was full of leaders of various tribes in Wuhuan. In addition, there are many people with sad faces, kneeling in front of Badun, crying and telling something.

"King! Our Wuhuan tribe army has been gathered here for more than two months. What is the reason for the delay in sending troops to attack the Great Han? ”

"O king...... It's over, my tribe is finished, please make sure the king is the master for us." Those New Han troops dared to search for our tribal settlements outside the Great Wall Pass all over the mountains, but all the tribes they searched for were ruthlessly slaughtered by them...... If this continues, is this grassland outside the pass still the world of our Wuhuan clan? ”

"Woo...... King, please send troops to avenge my tribesmen, my tribe, a total of thousands of people, dozens of people escaped, this revenge, we must take revenge, please send troops to the king......"

"King, we can't let the Xinhan army be arrogant anymore, they are only about 300,000 horses, and now they are attacking our tribe in all directions, if we send troops now, we can take advantage of the emptiness of Shanhaiguan to break through its pass in one fell swoop, enter the territory of the Han Dynasty, and wash the Han with blood!"

"King, we can't wait any longer, we are such a big clan gathered here, and countless cattle and sheep have to be slaughtered every day, if this continues, it won't be long before we have no food."

"King, the New Han Army is just that, but, damn Liaodong Gongsun Du, they are now the same as the New Han Army, killing our tribe in the northeast, don't we just ignore it?"

"Our more than one million tribal cavalry troops are here, do we still need to be afraid of the New Han Army? No matter how powerful the Xinhan army is, it is the enemy of our army? ”

……

Looking at the surging emotions in the tent, he couldn't help but have a little headache, pressed his head, patted the desk in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, calm down first, this matter of sending troops is not that this king does not send troops, but you also have to see the right time." It's easy to send troops, but one shot affects the whole body. ”

"What time are we waiting for, O king?"

Most of the clan leaders below are puzzled.

These problems are really difficult to explain to them clearly for a while.

Most of these alien leaders had never officially fought the New Han Army, and they didn't know how powerful the New Han Army really was. Tell them that they can't understand it.

However, in such a situation now, Collapse really did not expect. I didn't expect that so many tribal leaders would come together to persuade me to send troops as soon as possible.

However, he has just established a certain prestige, but he has not really mastered the whole clan, if he doesn't explain it to them clearly and can't let them understand, then they still think that they are really afraid of the New Han Army, and they think that they were still afraid of being beaten by the New Han Army in Tianzhen until now. In this way, this prestige has been established with great difficulty. It's going to be gone. If the chiefs of the tribes do not obey their orders. They fight on their own, or they don't listen to orders. If they immediately raise their own troops and attack the New Han Dynasty. At that time, they may be defeated by the New Han army. It was eaten away by the New Han Army one by one, and then, like the Huns, was finally wiped out by the New Han Army.

Badun has analyzed in depth why the Huns were wiped out by the New Han Army.

First of all, the Huns had already let the New Han Army know when they assembled. However, this matter is really difficult to avoid, and the tribes outside the gate are gathered. No matter how stealthy it is, there will always be some rumors that will be known to the big man. Especially with the gathering of large tribes, this secret cannot be kept. This is also the reason why Bandun has to assemble at the foot of Chifeng Mountain, which is a little farther away from the Great Wall of Dahan. He didn't want to be attacked by the New Han army before he had completed his assembly. With the precedent of them taking the initiative to attack the Huns, Mudun absolutely believed that the New Han army would take the initiative to attack them.

Therefore, this question, when starting to assemble, do not have the mind of forgiveness. Don't hope that the Han army has no preparations, so that they can swagger into the territory of the Han Dynasty. And the Huns, obviously, made this mistake, they didn't wait for the tribal army to be fully assembled. He first sent a military horse to cross the Yellow River, but as a result, one of its military horses was soon destroyed by the New Han army.

Secondly. It is the lack of a strict estimate of the combat power of the New Han Army. It was a bit of a light enemy from the start. The Huns actually forgot that they suffered from the pain of the New Han Army destroying the more than 200,000 Hun cavalry in Bingzhou. There was no lesson learned. I thought that the fiasco was just an accident. The result? I have endured all the hardships. In the end, the Ju clan was wiped out by the New Han army.

In this way, Bunton believes that no matter what, no matter when and where, we must not be careless about the New Han Army. Be sure to take every step of the way, you must grasp your strengths, and don't let the Xinhan Army take advantage of it.

What are the strengths of your own Wuhuan army? For the time being, everyone in the tribe can be a soldier, and for the time being, in terms of military strength, it is far more than the New Han army.

For Bunton, the strengths of his Wuhuan army are really not much, and it is the advantage of this strength. Otherwise, for example, if the bow and horse are skillful, or if his Wuhuan people are stronger than the weak Han people, Badun will never think so anymore.

The bow horse is skillful, and the advantage of the ranger can only be compared to the previous Han army. The current New Han Army, they may be the same as their tribal cavalry, and they can ride and shoot between the high speed of war horses. Even their level is definitely not below their clan's army. Let's talk about the issue of hand-to-hand combat between the sergeants of both sides. This, I really can't imagine it.

At that time, they planned to see the situation, if the Huns could succeed in attacking the Han Dynasty, he would also gather the tribesmen to inspect behind them, so they gathered a part of the military horses in Tianzhen, hundreds of miles north outside the Yamen Pass. But the result? Liu Yi actually dared to lead a small number of New Han Army cavalry to Tianzhen. And in the battle between their Wuhuan cavalry and Liu Yi's silver-armored cavalry, they were no opponent at all, and they were suppressed in all aspects, so that his cavalry had no power to fight back at all. Even, more military horses were dispatched, but they were defeated by the cavalry of the New Han Army with the most familiar fighting methods. Because of this, Badun had to endure the humiliation, send his beloved concubine Hongyue to Liu Yi, and negotiate peace with Liu Yi.

Anyway, the Wuhuan people who have not gone through that battle will not understand the strength of the New Han army. What's more, at that time, the New Han Dynasty had only been established for a short time, and the New Han Army had not really become a hundred battles heroes. Can you be careless when fighting against the New Han Army? If one is not good, it will be the end of the extermination.

As for the short-handed encounter, the weapons and equipment of the New Han army are not known to be many times better than the weapons of their Wuhuan tribe, and the weapons of their own tribe's army will be destroyed when they touch others, and then how to fight with others?

Therefore, in the heart of Badun, he thought that in order to defeat the New Han army, it was necessary to use the strength advantage of his own army cluster on the plain, pounce on it at once, and use the number of people to pile the New Han army to death. Of course, he will not forget the power of the bed crossbow of the New Han Army. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to divide troops lightly to pursue the New Han Army, and it is absolutely impossible to let the New Han Army choose a battlefield to fight with its own horse army. Otherwise, they won't know about the tricks of the New Han Army, and they won't know how they died.

In this way, to be honest, he really hopes that the New Han Army can directly kill him before his current army camp, and fight a decisive battle with the New Han Army on this plain.

Also, the reason why the Huns were destroyed was that their Hun tribes failed to keep pace at all, and a Hun cavalry army was wiped out earlier, followed by another wave, wiped out, and another one, such a wave-like war, how many people went to the New Han Army was not enough to destroy it.

In the end, the Huns did not expect that the New Han Army could be so cold-tolerant, and they could launch an attack on their desert in the bitter cold winter that their tribes could not bear and feared for a hundred years. So that they had no defense at all, and were finally wiped out by the New Han Army.

With the lessons of the Huns, he felt that he must keep in mind and avoid the mistakes made by the Huns as much as possible.

But now, how can he make it clear to his many clan leaders? (To be continued......)
