Chapter 257: One hundred thousand urgent
Mao Dun also snorted, his face was a little gloomy: "She was originally useful, in the future, if we can defeat the Han army and return to Donghu, it should be useful, but she actually seduced the generals in the army, and wanted the generals to betray our Huns and submit to her, which is intolerable."
Li Qianyue sneered.
She knew Maudun had a point. Nina was so anxious to become king again, and once again made the same mistake as seducing Wei Changfeng before, which really made people sigh. But Maudun's treatment of Nina like this is really scary to think about.
She said: "Okay, it's okay if you don't kill Wang Laoba, give him to me, let me smack him and take a breath, it's always okay, right?" ”
Mao Dun laughed: "He's a thousand-commander." How can you just let you smoke? Moreover, just yesterday I had sent him to the royal court, and Attila had to receive him personally. ”
Li Qianyue was furious, her face was flushed with anger, she hated, turned around and ignored Mao Dun.
Mao Dun was also a little dissatisfied, he didn't say a word, stood up and went out of the account, it seems that he can only find another place to rest tonight.
Two days later.
The Han army has risen.
This time, the Han army was directly arranged in a defensive formation.
The reason is very simple, it is only forty miles away from the Hun army, and it cannot be regarded as a march at all, but can only be regarded as receiving the enemy.
The Hun army soon got the news, the horn sounded, and the Hun army began to mobilize.
Wei Changfeng marched around the Chinese army and looked at his own arrangement again.
This time, he set up a position to be ready to be beaten.
At the forefront is the god locomotive, on the left and right sides, the infantry is outside, the cavalry is inside, and the heavy cavalry is behind.
Of course, this formation is fine for defense, but if you want to attack, it is really impossible. In particular, the god locomotive was in front, and the whole team was extremely slow.
Wei Changfeng was not in a hurry at all.
Why is he in a hurry? There are still ninety miles from Durhan, and even if you walk thirty miles in one day, you can walk in three days. What he had to do now was not to be disturbed by the strange formation of the Hun army before attacking Darhan.
If you are not afraid of slowness, you are afraid of standing, no matter how slow you are, as long as you go down, there will be a day when you will go, right?
Now it's not that the Han army wants to attack the Huns, but that the Huns want to attack the Han army, since that's the case, then let the Huns attack it, why should the Han army take the initiative to attack?
He thought as he walked slowly.
Xianli was very impatient and kept biting the halter, but Wei Changfeng could only gently pat the horse's shoulder to show comfort. Now, it's not the time to let the Slim Detachment run away.
On the opposite side, the Hun army approached again.
The Han army did not stop, but advanced more slowly.
There is a god locomotive to resist head-on, and the Hun army on the opposite side does not dare to attack if he dies.
The horns of the Hun army were raised, and another 50,000 troops were divided and surrounded from all directions.
In the Han formation, the cavalry began to move. However, the range of movement of the cavalry was limited to the inside of the formation, and by no means exceeded the infantry formation outside, but to see which group of Huns was too close, it would take two steps faster in which direction.
This kind of movement is naturally extremely convenient, but it is only a matter of taking two steps forward or two steps back, and for the horse, it is only a matter of relaxation.
The Hun army repeated its old tricks and kept rushing towards the Han army again and again.
The Han army was unmoved, and the three rows of Han infantry took turns to move forward, the first row stopped to resist the Hun army with crossbow arrows, the second and third rows continued to move forward, and the second row stopped, and the first and third rows moved forward. At the same time, the Huns in the rear battalion continued to supply crossbow arrows, and without waiting for the soldiers to run out of crossbow arrows, they used a row to supply a row.
Half an hour later, the Huns suffered about 2,000 casualties, while the Han army's casualties were less than 200, but the entire front moved forward five miles, so that the main force of the oncoming Hun army had to retreat twice.
A short horn sounded, and the Huns withdrew.
It seems that Mao Dun finally understood that this was done in exchange for crossbow arrows with human lives, although it could be exchanged for the consumption of a lot of Han crossbow arrows, but the Han army was constantly advancing, even if it advanced twenty miles a day, before the Han army's crossbow arrows were exhausted, I was afraid that Durhan, the key place of the Hun army, would also be occupied. What's more, if these crossbow arrows are consumed, the cost of human life paid by the Hun army is only a lot.
Watching the Hun army retreat, Wei Changfeng smiled.
Generally speaking, infantry is inherently unable to defeat cavalry. It's common sense. But this common sense does not say that no matter what the infantry has in their hands, no matter what the infantry does, they cannot defeat the cavalry.
Now, the Han army has a repeater crossbow in its hands, a god locomotive, and a cavalry as strong or even stronger than the Hun cavalry as a supplement, if you want to strictly defend against the impact of the Hun cavalry, it is actually possible, but if you want to defend, you can't attack.
The question is, why attack? If the Han army is only tightly defended and slowly moving forward, what can the Xiongnu army do?
No matter how many passers-by come, we will only defend and not attack, and take turns to advance, see what you do?
At this time, the Xiongnu army was in an extremely embarrassing situation: if it attacked strongly, it was exactly what the Han army wanted, and it turned from a multi-way impact to a general attack, and the two sides had to fight hard, and now the charge of the Xiongnu army could not touch the defense of the Han army. If you don't attack, the Han army will ignore you, no matter how you turn, I will take the way I should go.
In a word, you hit yours, I hit mine.
This is what Wei Changfeng thought of from Bai Qi's question.
Everyone is discussing how to fight, the question is, does it have to fight? This is a question that needs to be understood first.
Just like the story told by Wei Changfeng, if the children don't beat the big children, then what about the big children?
At that time, the ending was that the eldest child launched a "strong attack", and then, the defeat was miserable. Well, what about the Huns? Now they're watching like the big kid, will they attack like the big kid?
Luckily, Maudun wasn't a child. When the Han army marched fifteen miles for the second time and took the initiative to rest, Mao Dun finally realized that his strange tactics had been broken.
A long horn sounded, and the Huns finally began to retreat.
Both sides suffered small casualties in this battle, but comparatively speaking, the Xiongnu army suffered a large loss in casualties, while the Han army suffered a relatively large consumption of crossbow arrows.
Upon learning the news of the retreat of the Xiongnu army, Wei Changfeng did not rush to raise troops, but still moved forward according to the original formation, and at the same time sent probe horses far away in all directions, until it was confirmed that the Xiongnu army had no ambush, and then ordered the whole army to turn into a marching army and advance towards Darhan.
At this time, Durhan was already empty, because the Han army marched slowly, the Hun army retreated very safely, and even the Hun people ran away. But naturally, they couldn't have taken all the tents with them.
The Han army entered Darhan, but Wei Changfeng did not look proud.
He did occupy Durhan, and took a step closer to the former Xiongnu royal court, however, the Han army in this battle was first suppressed and then raised, and did not cause much damage to the Xiongnu, the cumulative casualties of the Xiongnu army were less than 5,000 people, and the main force was basically undamaged, obviously, if you want to really defeat the Xiongnu army, there is still a long way to go.
The Han army set up camp, Bai Qi went to deal with chores, and Wei Changfeng sat at the table to write official documents.
This time, the official document is different from before, it was just a meritorious service before, of course, the meritorious service is basically a stone sinking into the sea, unless it is as valuable as General Fang, otherwise the possibility of Zhu Shangshu rewarding Wei Changfeng is zero. But this time, he wants to report defeat first and then win, it is conceivable that Zhu Ling will definitely use this "first defeat" to make a big fuss, as for whether he will see "later victory", I really dare not say.
After writing the official document, Wei Changfeng ordered the horse to be sent away, and was about to go out of the tent to take a look at the barracks, but saw a herald crash into the tent and shouted to Wei Changfeng: "General Bai asks General Wei to go to the wounded barracks quickly!" ”
Wei Changfeng was shocked.
There are not many wounded soldiers in this battle, in the previous battles, the seriously wounded have been sent away, and the lightly wounded have almost been raised, what happened to the wounded barracks?
He rushed out of the tent in a hurry, and only after a few steps, another herald rushed over, shouting from afar: "General Wei, General Bai said, 100,000 urgent!" Go to the wounded barracks! ”
Wei Changfeng's feet trembled.
When did Bai Qi use the words "100,000 urgent"? When? Don't say you've heard of it, you can't imagine that he would report like this!
Wei Changfeng ran away, as if he was running for his life, completely ignoring the surprised expressions of the soldiers around.
Wei Changfeng swept through the camp tent like a gale, and the wounded soldiers poked their heads out of the tent one after another, not knowing what was wrong with General Wei.
If it was before, Wei Changfeng would definitely comfort the wounded soldiers, and maybe even go directly into the account to check it, even if he didn't have time, he would say hello to the wounded soldiers.
These people are injured for the country, and if they don't even have this respect, it really hurts the hearts of the soldiers.
This time, however, he didn't care about anything. There were four words ringing in his head all the time: 100,000 urgent!
Not far from rushing into the camp for wounded soldiers, he saw Bai Qi rushing out in front of a tent like an ant on a hot pot, and when he rushed out, he actually roared at a doctor who was desperately coming, and faintly heard "Why did you come!" Screams.
Wei Changfeng's heart hung in his throat.
First of all, this is definitely not an ordinary wounded soldier, an ordinary wounded soldier is not worth doing this anyway, but no matter which general, it will not make Bai Qi so out of shape, let alone let Bai Qi call Wei Changfeng with "100,000 urgent", among all the generals, only one general will let Bai Qi call Wei Changfeng like this, that is: Tong Haoran. However, when he was writing the paperwork, Tong Haoran was still busy camping outside, and he didn't even suffer the slightest injury on his body, could it be that he was seriously injured in this moment?
The problem is that even if Tong Haoran is seriously injured at this moment, it is impossible to be transported to the wounded barracks so quickly. This camp tent was originally abandoned by the Huns after they withdrew, and it was directly used by the Han army, far away from Tong Haoran's location, how could Tong Haoran be transported here in this moment? If there is a serious injury, how can it be moved first instead of being rescued on the spot?
Wei Changfeng rushed straight to Bai Qi like lightning, and before he could talk, Bai Qi had already grabbed him and shouted: "Come in, she's going to die, you have to see her!" ”
