Volume 7 "The Comeback" Chapter 196: The Tip of the Needle to the Mai Mang
"There is no such thing as a complete absolute. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"So, the news of the imminent migration is tightly sealed by the Lord so that the Huns will pay attention? The break with the Han State was trumpeted, but it was to confuse the Huns and make the Huns suspicious? ”
"Yes. According to what you say, the Huns will be convinced of the news of our imminent migration, and they will have no more than two plans: first, to bite us to the death, not to let us escape, and second, to simply let us go and ambush us halfway. The Huns will not believe the news of our break with the Han kingdom when they easily find out, thinking that we are confusing them. The two schemes may not only fail to achieve the goal, but may also be counterproductive, but when the two schemes are used together, they can achieve extraordinary results. ”
Although Koga has been silent, his IQ is not lower than others, and after a little thought, he understands the key to the entire layout.
"The Huns are still the same these two days, right?"
"It's still the same, Hu Lu only calls the battle in front of the formation and does not attack."
"Oh......"
Since Lin Bin returned to the front line, he has been busy arranging and rarely visiting the battlefield, the first batch of troops has been drawn to the river in the rear of Guangmu this morning, and the second batch of Western Regions surrenderers, servant soldiers, and slaves are also preparing to retreat, and the main force of the defense line is the wolf army.
With a total strength of 50,000, the Wolf Army is the largest and most mobile legion among the five armies, and all of its subordinates are former war servants. Lin Bin has also used this army the most, and it has the opportunity to create more opportunities for the wolf army to establish meritorious elements. After all, only by making them pay a responsibility, these individuals will feel that they are a member of the Han nationality, and they will deviate from morality if they do not reuse them. As for whether it will aggravate the casualties. The wolf army itself doesn't care, but is proud of it, who has anything to say?
"There is something I don't understand, why did the adults withdraw without covering up?"
"Cover-up? Why cover up! I just want the Huns to know that the soldiers on the defensive line are retreating on a large scale, and the defensive line is getting weaker and weaker. ”
Lin Bin doesn't know Yi Zhixian and doesn't know Jishan, and only has some understanding of the temperament of the Bank of China. Lin Bin did this to tell the Bank of China, this eunuch is not suspicious, but he only advertises himself as good at the art of war. This is also the basis for the Bank of China to say that it can be mixed with the Huns.
A person who claims to be good at the art of war will definitely be cautious in doing things for the sake of his reputation, the more he knows, the more he thinks, and he is afraid that something will go wrong. The Bank of China said that whether it was for its own reputation or status in the Xiongnu, it could not be wrong. That's the kind of person you are. An extremely simple piece of information is enough for him to think for a long time before he dares to make a judgment, the clearer the information, the longer it may take to think, but the situation is clear, the more he can't believe it.
"When the second group of troops retreats, you can also leave with the leopard army, and ambush the Shence army that withdrew from the front line, and wait for the wolf army to fake defeat and the Huns follow my orders to attack."
"Humble obedience!"
Lin Bin was silent for a while, and then continued: "The Tiger Army, the Servant Army, and the Slave Soldiers will escort the troops to leave first. Whether the subordinates can safely withdraw from Heshuo depends on the army left behind, so there must be no mistakes. ”
Koga is naturally rigorous: "Oh! ”
This time, there are thousands of miles from Heshuo to Liaodi. With a total number of more than one million troops, tens of millions of cattle and sheep, and nearly 700,000 horses, the routes to be walked naturally need to be carefully planned.
The retreat route has been planned by the staff officers: the first plan is to march directly to Liaodi from the Xiongnu mainland, because it is mostly plain, it is inevitable to stumble on the road, and the probability of fighting with the Huns all the way is very high; The second plan was to pass directly through the territory of the Han State, during which the supplies were collected and replenished, and if the Han army came, they would engage in battle, and teach the ungrateful Han State a lesson; The third plan was to wander the border between the Han and the Xiongnu.
Don't think about it, Lin Bin chose the third plan, which is not only for the sake of caution but also for a large detour, and there is no big worry about doing things, whoever dares to come over to fight is it, and there is no need to choose an opponent. Moreover, even if others don't come to fight, you can take the initiative when you see that you can take advantage, which is very cost-effective.
After Jia He left, Lin Bin summoned Chen Xi, the commander of the wolf army.
"The Huns have been calling for battle for four days, and they think that the Huns have called for no result, and they will inevitably resort to other means. He once sent scouts to investigate: the Huns prepared a large number of siege equipment during this period, and the rear was also training infantry to attack the city. It is expected that in a few days the Huns will have new movements. ”
Chen Xi spread out the map, the abbreviated map is full of signs representing the Hun garrison camp, the Huns divided the forces very widely, except for the main force of the Huns in front of Guangmu, the troops arranged in the south and central of Beixin were 20,000 and 15,000 respectively, and a large number of troops were stationed in the north.
"Huh? Something is wrong with this? ”
Chen Xi pointed to the north of the new north, "There are 50,000 Huns in the right valley of the Liwang court cavalry, if you want to enter Guangmu from here, you need to break through the defense line of the Shence army, according to the childish oblique, you must know that the Shence army is the elite of our army, and then there are 20,000 wolf troops from the side to take it is too difficult, why are you still laying such heavy troops here?" ”
Lin Bin looked at the map carefully for a long time, "It's not just that we want to play the 'virtual and real' strategy, it seems that the Huns are also willing to play." ”
Chen Xi suddenly said, "My lord said before that the Huns must have ambush soldiers, and the Huns are trying to create a false appearance to deceive our army?" ”
Interesting, well worth pondering. Lin Bin's biggest gain this time is to understand that the Huns are not all savages, and many of them may be much more powerful than some people in the Han Kingdom. The Huns have been fighting all the time, if after so many wars, they will only be greeted by a blind charge of 'yo ho ho', is it possible?
"It can be judged that the Huns have dragged on for so long, and their reinforcements have already arrived, and they may be ambushed somewhere at the moment and ready to jump out at any time. According to the deployment of the Huns' troops, the Bank of China said that this time it can be said that it was clever but was mistaken by cleverness, thinking that we would think in the direction of 'not in that place' with heavy troops. ”
"My lord? Are you saying that the reason why the Huns laid out heavy troops was to mislead and gather superior forces to break through from the flanks? ”
"For sure. Yi Zhixie's 50,000 army went to the north and new north to cover the Xiongnu reinforcements, and the new Xiongnu army was blocked by Yi Zhixie's army, and our scouts could not explore further. In advance, he wanted to gather superior forces to break through from the flanks. Not necessarily. ”
According to Lin Bin's judgment, the news of the arrival of the Qiang people was probably learned by the Huns, and the Huns had no reason not to contact the Qiang people, so the Qiang people became unexpected reinforcements for the Huns, and the Huns would definitely readjust their war strategies, and once they adjusted their war strategies, it would take time to redeploy, which provided time for Lin Bin to set up an ambush.
Again. Waiting for the news deliberately spread by Lin Bin to be known to the Huns, the situation will change again, and the Huns will be stirred up by the chaotic news and will not be able to make an accurate judgment in a short time. So there will definitely be a guess that Lin Bin is really going to retreat? Or is there some kind of trap set up? Since it was impossible to accurately judge the commanders of the Xiongnu, they could not make a decision on whether to attack immediately or continue to wait and see, and if the Xiongnu did not make a decision, the Qiang army, which was a supporting role in the war, would not move.
"I think the Huns tried to find out the truth. There will be several tentative attacks in the near future. ”
"Understood. Xibi led the wolf army to attack the Huns, so that the Huns did not dare to move. ”
Lin Bin felt that Chen Xi's utilitarianism was still too strong after a lesson.
"It's just that a tentative attack can be fought hard, so that the Huns believe that we are desperate to hold on. If the Huns retreat, we will continue to spend time here with them. But if the Huns storm after the temptation, you have to make appropriate avoidance, once the Huns storm will not change their strategy for a short time, you can depend on the situation, or hold on for three or five days. Make a rout gesture and retreat to the second line of defense......"
Before he finished speaking, Chen Xi showed a reluctant expression.
"Retreat to the second line of defense, no matter how many of your men are lost, hold on to it until I agree with you to retreat. And only then retreat to the last line of defense. ”
Chen Xi responded dryly.
Lin Bin frowned and asked, "You don't want to lose the battle?" ”
Chen Xi's heart jumped, and he hurriedly made a deferential gesture: "Adults have a life, and if you are low, you have to be willing even if you are unwilling." The tone can be sour to death.
Lin Bin slapped the case suddenly, "If something goes wrong, I'll cut off your head myself!" ”
Chen Xi was suffocated for a moment, obviously startled by the sound made by the case, and hurriedly promised: "I will act according to the adult's plan!" ”
"How can such a smart man not see through? If you don't rout twice in a row, will the Huns chase? If the Huns don't chase me, they'll cut off your head! ”
"The lowly must be cautious and try to make Hu Lu pursue!"
"Good, that's right. After luring the Huns to the third line of defense, you must hold on to the third line of defense! You can learn from the experience of the first two times, creating an illusion, so that the Huns think that you are desperate to hold on, as long as you attack a little more you can't hold it, only in this way can the Huns advance and be unwilling to retreat. If you successfully ambush the Huns and annihilate the Huns who caught up, you will have the greatest credit for this battle. Whether you can be promoted to the right chief in the first battle (Qin 11th and other military meritorious lords) depends on whether you are defeated, and whether you can bring in the Huns! ”
Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, and asked stupidly: "Really?" ”
Lin Bin nodded solemnly.
At present, the highest military lord in the five armies is Chen Xi, a military general with a very strong utilitarian heart who dares to work hard for meritorious service, has experienced many dangerous tasks and completed them again and again, and is ranked as the ninth order of the military merit lord 'Five Doctors'. Chen Xi has always been worried about being caught up by the rest of the commanders who have reached the eighth rank of military merit, is this good, as long as he completes the mission, he can jump three levels in a row? Moreover, there are many rumors within the Han nationality that Lin Bin wants to strictly divide the treatment of military meritorious, and even if he is the same commander at that time, the commander with low military merit will salute when he sees a high-level commander, so it is a symbol of status, how can it not make Chen Xi ecstatic!
The two talked in detail for a long time, Lin Bin in order to let Chen Xi better complete the task of the entire strategic deployment of the confidential part of the detailed part, Chen Xi listened to the natural admiration, to the back of no doubt, repeat the content of Lin Bin's military order, and then left with the ambition of wanting to make a contribution.
************************************************************************************
In the next two days, the Huns still only called for formation and did not attack, making Lin Bin think that his own estimation was wrong. It wasn't until Lin Bin wanted to check it out in person, that is, on the third day, that the Huns launched an attack with delay. Hearing this news, Lin Bin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered Chen Xi to respond cautiously while sending more scouts to investigate the movements of the Xiongnu army in other directions.
This exploration revealed a strange scene, there were Xiongnu troops on all fronts, nearly 10,000 in large units, and dozens to hundreds in small units, giving people a false impression, as if the entire region had Xiongnu troops gathering and scattering, scattering and gathering?
Although Lin Bin was confused and anxious, he couldn't act rashly. Only be patient. He kept walking in front of the map, and the signs on the map representing the Hun army were pasted all over the Beixin ~ Guangmu battlefield, and he repeated the layout of the Hun army according to the intelligence. Still not able to come to a clear conclusion.
"What do the Huns want to do?"
A battle report from the battlefield finally made Lin Bin realize, and Chen Xi wrote in a paragraph in the battle report that 'the enemy launched a fierce attack after three rounds of testing'.
"Three rounds?"
It seems that the scene of the current battle can be imagined from Chen Xi's battle report, the so-called onslaught is generally regardless of casualties, and the Xiongnu commander really wants to fill the two ditches across the position at any cost. A group of Hun infantry was killed by a crossbow near the ditch, and immediately a new group of Hun infantry rushed up with a scream. After a series of bloody battles, the ditch was finally filled by the corpses of the Huns. The first ditch obstacle was removed, and the Huns finally moved out the siege equipment that was firmly hidden, and filled in the second ditch with human lives, and began the real attack?
Lin Bin clearly knew from the development of the battle situation that there had been new changes in the situation, and as for what the changes were, it remains to be seen. Lin Bin, who was still confused about what the Huns wanted to do, was relieved after learning that the frontal battlefield was fierce, and he felt that the reason why the Huns mobilized their troops should be to cover up this onslaught and take the defenders by surprise. What I'm afraid of now is not that the Huns don't attack desperately, if the Huns continue to only call for formation and not attack, Lin Bin will be afraid. What Lin Bin wants is the onslaught of the Huns! If the Huns don't storm Lin Bin, how can they carry out the next plan?
The Huns attacked from the front for less than a day, and the Hun armies from other directions also began their own movements. Different from the frontal onslaught, the Hun army in other directions is mainly to attack and harass, every time it is a small fight and then quickly retreat, not long after retreating, there are new Hun troops to attack and harass, repeatedly, endlessly, one is to drag you, bite you to death, do not fight with you is not to let you have a free rest posture.
In order to deal with the Huns' 'dog skin plaster' tactics, the commanders of each front had to ask for additional troops to the rear, but when the major armies retreated to the rear, how could Lin Bin have reinforcements? The only way to do this was to order a proper contraction of the defensive line, to give up less important areas, and to gather forces to accumulate important points.
As soon as the five armies shrank, the Huns couldn't wait to follow, still like the front, if they didn't fight with you, they just wanted to disgust you.
"This is another plan to harass and exhaust the enemy."
In addition to Meng Zhao, the commander of the Black Flag Army, and Chen Xi, the commander of the Wolf Army, Lu Yan, the commander of the Tiger Army, Lin Boer, and Lin Dubu (the rest of Zhang He, Zhao Jun, and Ji He's leaders have not arrived), and the Leopard Army commander Jia He, deputy commanders Yan Ge, Xiao An, (the rest of Chen Dao, Feng Ming, and Che Yi have not arrived); Dozens of staff officers such as Shuang, Han An, Zhao Zuo, (Hou Fu and Fan Hai did not arrive at the army), and other deputy commanders of the Shence Army all received military orders and rushed to the front line in the starry night, and were gathering in the big tent of the Chinese army at this time.
Lin Bin sat at the head and quietly looked at Lu Yan, who had just spoken, and motioned for Lu Yan to continue.
Lu Yan was quite worried in his heart, but he couldn't show it to affect the morale of the army, so he had to try to be as plain as possible: "Yan thinks that the Huns don't know what our army plans to do at the moment. The reason why the Huns launched on all fronts was just to test the reality of our army. ”
Koga also nodded: "It should be so." ”
Lin Bin looked at the other generals and found that the generals basically agreed with Lu Yan's opinion, only Yan Ge and Han An seemed to have a slightly different opinion.
"Does anyone have a different opinion?"
Han An Laocheng was reluctant to come out and refute Lu Yan's face.
Yan Ge is young, young people have the momentum of young people to do things, he stood up and looked directly at Lin Bin, and said loudly: "My lord, I have something to say." ”
Lin Binle laughed, which was regarded as encouragement, and motioned for Yan Ge to speak boldly. This time, the commanders and deputy commanders of various ministries were recruited to listen to their suggestions and observe what they were thinking.
Yan Ge didn't dare to make a mistake, he respectfully saluted Lin Bin, and then hugged his fists to his colleagues, and then said: "Commander Lu's words will be completely agreed, but there is only a slight addition. Ge thought that Hu Lu must be unwilling to be blocked by our army in Guangmu, and this large-scale test was to find a weak point, but to find a breakthrough for the hidden ambush. Ge also thought that the Huns must have been in contact with the Qiang people, and this launch of the whole line was to attract the attention of our army and cover for the Qiang people! ”
Lu Yan's eyebrows were raised very obviously, revealing an expression of appreciation. What he was worried about was the Qiang army behind the Yandi Desert, calculating the time when the Huns should indeed be in contact with the Qiang people, otherwise the Huns would not have made a move at this time, and even attacked at any cost.
Contrary to the generals, Lin Bin was not worried at all that the Qiang people would suddenly appear, the Yandi Desert was seventy or eighty miles deep, and the desert march was different from the grassland, it was not a single or dozen horses, it was a march! If the 50,000 troops want to cross the desert of seventy or eighty miles, it will take at least half a month, even if they cross over, under the interception of the Black Flag Army, the fate of the 50,000 troops of the Qiang nationality will not be much better than the previous Hun Xiu Tu Department and Lou Fu Department. It can be said that the 50,000 Qiang army with scouts to monitor needs to be paid attention to, but there is no need to worry about suddenly appearing.
Of course, it is necessary for Lin Bin to express his opinions to prevent the generals under his command from being distracted during the battle.
The generals were stunned for a long time after hearing this, and Lu Yan and Jia He looked at each other even more, did they not know that Lin Bin had confidence in Meng Zhao, or had he killed too many Qiang people before, and he didn't take the Qiang people in his eyes at all?
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have no other intention to summon you here this time, I want to hear from you with my own ears that you are confident in this battle, and you are absolutely sure that you will be able to complete the task I have entrusted to you!"
Laugh when you should laugh, and laugh heartily with the generals under your command, but when it is time to be serious, Lin Bin definitely shows a strong side.
"This war is a matter of survival for the whole army, and there is no room for failure. Previously, I issued the 'Seventeen Killing Order' to the Ten Ministries, and now I will also issue it to the Fifth Army and to you!" ”
The generals held their breath and stood up in unison.
"If you give an order, you will change the banner and the military trumpet, and you will be re-governed! If the order is not convenient, those who must be changed must apply for the main general first! ”
It is rare for a passage to pop out of Lin Bin's mouth that is in line with this era, but it makes the generals stunned, and they dare not think about anything else to listen attentively.
"Cowardice, impostor, escape before the battle, capital crime - behead!"
"Go to battle, be negligent in battle, be willing to die to pay for your life, capital crime - beheaded!"
Lin Bin stared at the generals with blazing eyes, and from his mouth popped out of his mouth five offensive and beheaded military laws, these military regulations that had been set a long time ago were now repeated on the spot, obviously warning the generals: the importance of this battle.
"The last will obey! Remember! ”
