Volume 6 "Warriors" Chapter 190: The Way of Battle (I)
In fact, whether it is a political power or a force, as long as it is big enough, then there can be no absolute harmony, there will be some internal contradictions, and if there are contradictions, of course, there will be internal strife, and since there is 'politics', every political power and force cannot avoid some chaos. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
No matter how many people are complaining about their own nation and why they like infighting so much, in fact, this is human nature. Sometimes it's just that you're not in it to see the unity on the surface, and the internal festering is not without roots, but you know that you will involuntarily join in if you notice it, the big people have the interests of the big people, and the little people have the needs of the little people.
Unity has always been a noble slogan, how many people can really give up their own interests to join the 'unity'?
Mencius of the pre-Qin Dynasty said: 'Born in sorrow; Die in peace'. The Xiongnu have enjoyed the status of overlord for decades, there has never been too much crisis, the Xiongnu aristocracy is very happy, has long forgotten what is called sorrow, it is peace and happiness then the struggle from the interest group will inevitably breed, the aristocracy with differences is divided into factions, the authority of Shan Yuting has disappeared and dispersed, and the Xiongnu are going downhill.
Yi Zhixian's ideal is very lofty, but it does not mean that he understands that the Xiongnu are going downhill, in fact, he is just shouting for his own ambition to 'restore the glory of the Great Xiongnu', his eyes are not looking at the future of the Xiongnu, but the throne of Da Danyu. People of this era, don't expect them to understand what a 'nation' is. Because in this era, there is no word for 'nation' at all, and the first thing to consider in what to do and think about is definitely yourself.
"Walked for so many days. You don't need to camp and rest and wait for tomorrow to attack? ”
King Huhun called the above sentence 'sarcasm', because the easterners looked down on the westerners, and the Xiongnu tribes in Helan Mountain had not fought for a long time, but that did not mean that they would not fight. He glanced at Ji Shan viciously, and said in a muffled voice: "We'll see! ”
Ji Shan was proud, and his thoughts were a little playful at this time. He was thinking, "Sure enough, it's better to learn a little bit of Han Chinese knowledge." These idiots were slightly provoked. I'm going to go up and die. ”
Helan Mountain is said to be the birthplace of the Xiongnu, but whether it is the Xiongnu themselves or the extinct pre-Qin, the birthplace of the Xiongnu that they recognize is north of Yinshan. These Huns from Helan Mountain are compared to other Xiongnu tribes who have been fighting all year round. The Xiongnu tribes in Helan Mountain, who had not fought for decades, had increased in population and wealth, and they had a proud and complacent heart because they were becoming stronger. To be honest, it is precisely because of the increase in population and the affluence of the tribe that they look down on the Youxian Wang, who has always occupied Heshuo but is constantly declining. Their thinking is straightforward: poverty near Helan Mountain; The river has many water sources and fertile grasslands. The tribes of Helan Mountain can be powerful. The Youxian Wang, who occupied Heshuo, continued to decline. The Right Xian Wangbu is no longer worthy of having Heshuo!
King Huhun and King Tu Shen directly ignored the opinion of Yu Xiaowang, a member of the Xiongnu tribe who was also from Helan Mountain. The two decided to send troops to test the strength of the Han army.
The sound of the bull's horn was blown......
The body of the wheeled car was dismantled and urgently made into a rudimentary wooden ladder. Nearly 10,000 small tribal cavalry were selected by the torrent of cavalry, who formed a great charging formation under shouts and whips.
The small tribe was not qualified to participate in decision-making, but it was pushed out as a precursor to test the strength of the Han army.
The king of Hun said, "Rush over and kill them!" ”
King Tu Shen added: "Rush to the city wall five hundred paces, throw away your horses, lift your siege ladders, raise your weapons, and let them see the bravery of the men of Helan Mountain!" ”
The Huns siege mode has always been simple. They had plenty of horses, and every time they attacked the city, they had them ride into battle. Wait for about 500 paces to get close to the enemy city, dismount and charge on foot, so that you can approach the enemy city very quickly. However, the cavalry of Helan Mountain seems to have long forgotten the martial bravery of their ancestors? The Hun cavalry who sat on the hip of the river and bent the horse, without stirrups in their hands, but carried a three-zhang long wooden ladder with their companions, had a bit of a wooden expression, some of them had never fought since they came out of their mother's womb, and they were really a little confused in their hearts, and they couldn't help but think: "Will you be thrown off the horse because of the wooden ladder in your hand when you are waiting for the next charge?" ”
In any case, the cavalry of Helan Mountain marched forward because of the battle for the meaning of their leader, and these Huns, who had not fought before, were cautious, and they were accelerating at a very slow pace, and the cavalry of the two of them carrying wooden ladders was as slow as a turtle crawling.
Seeing such an army, Ji Shan once again opened his mouth and laughed wildly; Yi Zhizhi shook his head depressedly. As for King Huhun and King Tu Shen, they felt very faceless in their hearts, but their mouths explained, "This is for the sake of caution." What provoked even more unbridled ridicule.
********************************************************************************
Lin Bin has been paying attention to the movements of the Huns, and as early as when the horns of the Huns were blown, he also ordered the drummers to beat the war drums. He saw the attacking troops of the Huns, and immediately judged that the generals of the other side were either cautious or a rookie who had never fought. Charging was about speed and efficiency, and it was clear that the Huns were crawling and exploring their way rather than charge. However, it was precisely because the speed of the Huns' charge was too slow that Lin Bin and several generals of the Fifth Army next to him frowned deeply.
"They're too slow, and there's only a limit to what they can do."
The Hun cavalry marching at a turtle speed has not been in a charging posture, and the cavalry without combat experience should not expect much courage. The Hun cavalry advancing at the forefront was trying to increase their courage by raising their voices, and some of them opened their mouths and were about to shout, but the bold shouts turned into frightened screams because the horses under the seats sank sharply.
The image of the foremost companions suddenly being eaten by the ground frightened the rest of the Hun cavalry, and they pulled the reins with panicked expressions. The sudden pause caused the Hun cavalry to collide with each other, although the speed was not fast, but the unprepared Hun eyes only focused on the companions who were still sinking in front of them. For a while, people turned over on their backs, and the cavalry who carried the siege ladder looked even more embarrassed, and they fell off the horse and were smashed by heavy ladders, and many people were smashed to the point that their heads were bleeding, and the miserable howls became a loud sound.
Just as Lin Bin thought, because the speed of the Huns' charge was not fast, the Huns stopped after being swallowed by four or five hundred horsemen in the horse pit. They abandoned their horses and walked cautiously forward, although some people stepped on the soft ground from time to time and sank in, but the effect of the trap was not as good as expected.
The Han army did not know about the situation of the Huns. Many people speculated that the Xiongnu commander expected that there would be a trap in front of the position, so he sent people to destroy it first.
"We met a Xiongnu commander who is good at besieging cities?"
The Huns were still advancing, and when they found a trap, they slowed down again, and completely turned into a real turtle speed.
Han Anguo couldn't help but persuade: "Protect Han Hou." Send a cavalry team to the front to block the arrows. Maybe it helps? ”
I have to say that this is a very pertinent suggestion, but Lin Bin shook his head. The pre-Qin was very good at building fortifications, and some sections of the low wall could be pulled away from the back with a winch to provide cavalry to go out to kill the enemy, but it was undoubtedly very cost-effective to expose the secrets of the low wall section for the sake of a tentative army of the enemy.
"Let them probe!"
Lin Bin's calm expression and tone largely gave the generals confidence to win. He understands better than anyone else that defensive warfare requires enough patience, and he can't be anxious because of the slightest threat, and besides, the battle has just begun, so why bother with some traps that are already going to be consumed?
Trapping is definitely not a one-time consumable. Even if it is discovered, unless it is filled with earth, it can still play a role in deterring the enemy, and the greatest use is to prevent the enemy from massively and intensively assembling together. Position yourself in the most advantageous siege formation.
Although the Huns moved slowly, but after about half an hour of careful exploration, they finally reached the area about 500 steps in front of the low wall, and they did not immediately launch a large-scale charge after the whole team, but drew lots for a long time and finally selected the team responsible for continuing to explore.
About 2,000 Huns lined up in three echelons, they were still walking forward at the speed of turtles, and the Huns walking in the front row touched the ground with their weapons, as if they were in the later generations of demining operations, and when they felt that the ground was soft, they would draw a circle as a mark, and then go around and continue to move forward.
The Huns advanced about a hundred paces, and when they entered the range of the Han army, these soldiers who were walking in the front couldn't help but tremble, and they were afraid that the Han army would suddenly release arrows, so they were afraid to advance another fifty paces, and found that the Han army did not have the intention of archery, but did not become more courageous, but more afraid.
The Huns, who were walking in the forefront, couldn't stand the pressure in their hearts and stopped, in front of them was a large pit that was not covered, this pit was about one zhang deep and about one zhang eight wide, it was obviously an obstacle dug out of a hurry, there were no stake spikes in it, and the depth in some places was not even five feet, which seemed extremely uneven.
A Hun soldier wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in confusion: "What is this?" ”
If Lin Bin was asked to answer, he would reluctantly say, "That's called a tank fortification," and then add, "It's just a little small."
Zhang Qian spoke, "Protecting Hanhou, the moat is so far away, can it really play a role in blocking the enemy?" ”
Han Anguo is worthy of being good at defensive operations, and he said the key in one sentence: "The first canal is about 350 steps from the wall, and the second is 200 steps. The Hou of the Han Dynasty is strategic! ”
Lu Yan habitually narrowed his eyes into a thin line, last night to early morning in order to dig these two ditches spent a lot of labor, so that the number of horse traps reduced by more than half, he didn't understand why Lin Bin would rather dig two doomed to be hidden ditches than give up digging horse pits, until the crossbowman tested the firing range: those two canals are located in the enemy's acceleration sections, which can hinder the enemy's acceleration, the longer the enemy stops in those two sections, the greater the casualties!
Until the Huns who were in charge of exploring the road retreated to the side of the Han army, there was no action, which made Jishan, Yizhixian, Huhun King, Tu Shen Wang and others who were watching from the rear unable to stop thinking nonsense. According to their understanding, since the Han army dug a pit. Then it must be to kill and injure the soldiers of the Great Huns, and it is understandable that it is far away from preventing the soldiers of the Great Huns from destroying the pit, but the soldiers of the Great Huns are three hundred steps away from the low wall. Why didn't the Han army, which had the advantage of range, release arrows to stop the soldiers of the Great Huns from continuing to approach?
Yi Zhi tilted his head to look at the Bank of China, who had not spoken since last night, and said, "The military advisor ......"
The Bank of China said that he closed his eyes and recuperated as if he was asleep on horseback, and when he heard the call, he only responded with a low "hmm......" without even raising his head.
Jishan is no stranger to the Bank of China, and everyone who knows that the Bank of China knows more about the Han Kingdom than the Great Huns, and it is also an export to ask for advice.
"When the time comes, I will make a plan to help the eldest prince and the right virtuous king defeat Lin Bin. It's not time yet. ”
Unfathomable? In fact, the Bank of China said that it couldn't think of what Lin Bin wanted to do at all. But he couldn't tell Yi Zhixian and others clearly, "I don't know, don't ask me", he could only hold on to show a 'I have a way' face. Think about it with all your brains.
Ji Shan said in the Bank of China that he had no advice here, and could only turn his target to King Huhun and King Tushen. He thought: "As long as he attacks, Lin Bin's tricks will also be recognized!" As always, I want to use words to anger King Huhun and King Tu Shen. Let their soldiers be soundstones.
These two Xiongnu tribal kings who came from Helan Mountain were not fools without brains. Of course, they knew what Ji Shan's idea was, but because they had said it before, they would lower their status now if they regretted it, and they were seen by those Yu Xiaowang, who also came from Helan Mountain, and their authority would also be affected, so they had to continue to hold on.
The Helan Mountain warriors, who were swaying crookedly in the front formation, received the military order from behind and began to move forward again, this time they still walked cautiously, and the soldiers with shields clenched their shields nervously. They were always ready to block the arrows fired by the Han army.
"They're in the first ditch!"
Of course, Lin Bin saw the Huns approaching the first ditch, and he stared at the Huns who were still advancing. Seeing that the Huns were only advancing with weapons, they did not intend to fill the ditch, and remained silent.
Jiahe was in charge of commanding all the crossbowmen, and he would never give the order to release the arrows without Lin Bin's order, and he also watched the Hun infantry in silence.
The Hun infantry, which looked like rats shopping, was afraid that the Han army would release arrows, so they deliberately opened the formation, and when they reached the second ditch, they were sweating all over their bodies because of nervousness and fear. These Huns, who had killed cattle and sheep, but had never killed anyone, kept dodging their eyes, as if they did not look at the Han army, the Han army would not release arrows, they carefully passed through the second ditch, and when they climbed to the flat ground, the officer who walked in front shouted......
"For the sake of the Great Huns—rush!"
The roar that came out of the trembling throat sounded like it could not help but make people laugh, but in any case, these Huns, who were like rats shopping, finally became a little bolder because of the shouting, and rushed towards the low wall.
Han Anguo kept sighing in his heart, it was the first time he had seen such a useless Hun army, and he thought that if the armies that attacked the border of the Han State were like the Hun army in Helan Mountain, how good would it be?
Jiahe didn't have time to sigh, he asked very seriously: "My lord, do you want to release arrows?" ”
Lin Bin still shook his head, he didn't want to expose the power of the arrow array too early, and these rat-like Huns were not worth wasting the arrows that were already missing.
"Pass my military order: crossbowmen are on standby!" Lin Bin looked at Lu Yan: "You know how to do it." ”
Lu Yan smiled gloomily, clenched his fists, turned around, and took a step. He walked out of a distance, stretched out his hand and drew his knife, pulling his throat: "Changge hand, horizontal knife hand - let the adults see our martial arts!" ”
The crossbowmen lined up on the wall stepped back, and the soldiers with swords and swords stepped forward, and they kept repeating the roar in the sky: "Kill! ”
The sound was like a heavy hammer smashing on the hearts of the charging Huns, they were all startled, and couldn't help but slow down their pace and wait for the rain of arrows that were about to fall, and they didn't think about guarding for a long time without a single hair falling.
The Xiongnu Wanhu who led the team had no sense of shame in his heart, and he even thought that it was right for him to move forward slowly, at least not many people fell into the trap of the Han army along the way, and he also approached the low wall of the Han army without danger. He was naturally shocked when he heard the Han army roaring and shouting "kill", seeing that the Han army did not shoot arrows but was overjoyed, timidity does not mean that there is no IQ, he doesn't mind being underestimated by the enemy, on the contrary, he is very willing to be underestimated by the enemy, no, if he is not underestimated, how can he have the opportunity to set up a siege ladder without paying heavy casualties?
"They're going to pay for their attitude!" It was a very proud and ambitious spoken language, and the Huns shouted loudly: "Attack!" ”
The Huns took the simple siege ladder, screamed and put their hands together, stepped on their feet, the simple siege ladder made a 'squeak' sound as if it might fall apart at any time, the Huns who were shocked by the roar and their heads were blank struggled to climb the ladder, they climbed up, just poked out their heads and wanted to grin, a cold light flashed, and the body that lost its head fell heavily and fell on the body of its companion.
Lu Yan's eyes showed a fierce light, he had just cut off the head of a Hun soldier, the armor on his body was dyed red by the blood column that spurted up, and his sharp eyes kept looking at the various wall segments, and he yelled in his mouth: "You don't need to push away the siege ladder, let the Huns come up, your weapons need to drink blood!" ”
The soldiers of the Han army clearly found that the attacking Huns had no combat experience, and letting the soldiers with no combat experience attack the city was no different from sending them to death. They didn't feel the slightest pressure, some just kept harvesting life with the weapons in their hands, and the screams of the Huns were always coming from their ears.
In the era of cold weapons, recruits will never be able to fight with veterans of a hundred battles, this is not only a matter of experience, but more importantly, recruits cannot adjust their mentality, and cannot ignore killing or being killed like veterans.
The so-called warriors of Helan Mountain, they would be afraid before they saw blood, and after seeing their comrades killed, they seemed to be stimulated by red blood, and they finally mustered up a little courage to fight.
"Ahh
Without a syllable roar, the Huns who climbed the siege ladder were hit by the corpses of their companions who fell from above, the dead and the living smashed to the ground, and the Huns who fell dizzy got up again, he could feel that his ribs were broken a few times, and the stinging pain made him unable to take a step, but the face that was originally full of fear became hideous, and his mouth and nose continued to astringent black blood, a little intermittent: "It hurts!" Damn Han people, I'm going to kill you! After speaking, he fell to the ground straight, and he could never get up.
The Huns, who had been provoked to ferocity, completed the transformation of herdsmen into warriors on the battlefield, and they climbed the siege ladder one after another, but all their heads were cut off without incident, and the headless corpses were piled up under the low walls.
With the passage of time, the horizontal knife hands of the Han army were covered with bloodstains, and the more than 5,000 soldiers guarding the low wall killed at least more than 4,000 Huns.
Lu Yan casually stabbed to death a shouting Hun and shouted: "The second team replaces the first team!" His military orders were strictly enforced, and as the new forces replaced Lixie's robes, a new round of slaughter proceeded more smoothly.
