The Great Wall is the greatest military defense project in the ancient history of the world, it is not a simple isolated first-line city wall, but from point to line, from line to surface, connecting the passes, military forts, gates and important military towns along the Great Wall into a tight network to form a complete defense system.

Some people may say that the Han people's over-reliance on the Great Wall defense line is a sign of passive defense. They did not know that in the era of cold weapons, when the northern steppe peoples had the advantage in military forces, the military role of the Great Wall defense system was fruitful.

During the Qin period, "the Great Wall was built in the north and the fence was guarded, but the Xiongnu were more than 700 miles, and the Hu people did not dare to go south and herd horses." ”

During the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, "build a fortress, set up a pavilion, build an outer city, set up a garrison to defend it, and then the border had to use Shao'an." ”

King Zhao Wuling, who "built the Great Wall, from the generation and under the Yin Mountain, and the highest is the block", is a politician who is famous for "changing vulgar clothes and learning to ride and shoot".

In fact, the Qin Emperor and Han Dynasty, including the early Ming Dynasty, all the Chinese built the Great Wall when they took the initiative and achieved an overwhelming military advantage. This shows that the construction of the Great Wall is not only an active defense, but also a strategy to accumulate strength and continue to forge ahead.

Since the end of the Han Dynasty, the Hu people in the north took advantage of the war in the Central Plains to cross the Great Wall built by Qin Mengtian and revert to China with the Great Wall of Qin, Zhao and Yan as the boundary. Due to the disrepair of this Great Wall and the scarcity of defenders in the north, the powerful Northern Hu people continued to enter the Great Wall and plunder, all the way to Daigu, Taiyuan, Xihe, Shangjun, Beidi and other counties.

After Sima Shu entered Guanzhong, he successively recovered Shangjun and Beidi County, and strengthened the defense of the northern front. However, the Xianbei people still occupy a large area of land south of Yinshan. In the case of lack of strength, Sima Shu had to deploy defenses along the Great Wall of the Warring States Qin Zhao Dynasty.

"Report! General Qiyu, Tuoba Southern Dadan Yu Tuoba Liuxiu commanded 100,000 troops from Henan, please prepare early! Li Te, who was studying the map in Yiqu City, suddenly received an urgent report from the front.

"Huh? Hu people came to die so soon? Li Teh didn't panic, only to see him pointing to the defense line of the Great Wall and said: "Captain Fu, please rush here immediately, be sure to block the Hu people at the foot of the Great Wall, and never let a Hu person go south!" ”

"No!" Fu Hong stood up with a stagger, and immediately turned to leave.

The Great Wall defended by the Jin army today was built in the era of King Qin Zhao, and was basically built along the periphery of Longxi, Beidi and Shangjun, and was so large that it was in a southwest-northeast direction. Due to its age. The Great Wall is mostly dilapidated. However, since Sima Shu recovered the northern land and Shangjun. The Great Wall, which served as a northern barrier, has been repaired over the years.

All these years of hard work finally came in handy at this moment, in order to resist the invasion of the Xianbei people in the north, the Jin army mainly deployed along the Great Wall along the line of Shangjun and Beidi County.

A few days later, Fu Hong hurried to Dulu County (now Guyuan) at the foot of Liupan Mountain. In the distance, I heard the sound of people and horses at the passes of the Great Wall. It turned out that the Xianbei army had already arrived at the foot of the Great Wall. This time, the Xianbei people's attack direction was in Shangjun and Beidi County.

"Lean on ......" Fu Hong took a deep breath and couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, he had just led his own soldiers to the Great Wall. I found that the foot of the Great Wall was densely covered with Xianbei cavalry, "NND, how can I say that there are more than 50,000 Xianbei iron cavalry, and we only have 12,000 cavalry coalition troops, which are far inferior to the other party in terms of strength, and this is more than auspicious......"

Joining the army also frowned and said with worry: "My lord, can we stop so many Hu people?" ”

Fu Hong nodded firmly: "Although we are inferior to the Hu people a lot in numbers, we are much ahead of the other party in terms of equipment, so we are not without a chance to win this battle, and even if we can't beat it, we have to fight, which is related to our dignity!" ”

After saying that, Fu Hong suddenly pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist, pointed the blade straight ahead, and shouted: "Brothers, for the glory of the empire!" At the same time, in order to buy enough time for other brother troops to annihilate the Huns in Bingzhou, even if we all stain the Great Wall with blood, we will never let a single Hu person step across the Great Wall! ”

Everyone drew their swords in unison and let out an earth-shattering cry. Looking at his subordinates with high morale, Fu Hong nodded with satisfaction. Before, he was a little worried, 12,000 people needed to take care of the long Great Wall defense line, no matter how you look at it, it was a bit unsafe, but fortunately, the combat effectiveness of the Jin army, which had achieved firearms, was greatly improved compared to the past.

The sun rose slowly, and the golden sunlight shone on the majestic pass, shining between the bleak and desolate grasslands and the mountains that stretched for thousands of miles, driving away the fog and haze and bringing a trace of warmth to the cold northern morning.

Ubatu, the king of the Xiongnu Zuogu Li, hurried to the camp before dawn and prepared to command the army to attack. After the coup d'état of Tuoba Liuxiu, Ubatu surrendered to the other party for the first time, won the trust of Tuoba Liuxiu, and this time he was able to command the army of Xianbei West Road to be responsible for passing through Beidi County.

Ubatu sat down in the tent, opened a large map of cowhides, and laid it on the ground, and all the generals under the tent surrounded him.

"Everyone, please see, this is the Great Wall Fortress near the foot of Liupan Mountain. When the Han people built this fortress, they put a lot of thought into it. The main purpose of the entire fortress is to prevent us from going south, but it takes troops to hold such a large fortress, but they only have more than 10,000 people now, and if they want to defend the entire Northland County, the troops are very weak, and we only need to concentrate a little. ”

"At noon, the army immediately attacked!"

Since the morning, Fu Hong has seen many Xianbei soldiers running to the foot of the Great Wall to look left and right, and then gather together to point at the various passes, not knowing what they are discussing. He suddenly felt that something was wrong, and immediately called to join the army to get everyone ready, the enemy was about to attack.

He instructed his subordinates with a solemn expression: "This time the Hu people are prepared, and the momentum is violent, and their earliest attack momentum will definitely be fierce. Tell the soldiers to resolutely resist the offensive of the Hu people at any cost, and deal a heavy blow to the arrogance of these barbarians. Let's see if it's the barbarian's broadsword and spear that are sharp, or our artillery spears are powerful. ”

Just after noon, suddenly, a huge horn came out of the camp of the Hu coalition army. A long, deep voice suddenly tore through the quiet sky of the Great Wall Fortress.

Then hundreds of horns sounded in all corners of the camp, countless battle flags shuttled back and forth in the camp, and the soldiers came out of their tents one after another, nervously and orderly to their respective battle flags.

The soldiers of the Jin army on the Great Wall stood up one after another and looked into the camp of the Hu army. Standing on the city wall, Fu Hong was dressed in a military uniform, black armor, black helmet, and sharp horizontal knife. He looked at the Hu army, which was already ready to move, and waved his hand behind him. The herald standing behind him gestured to the flag herald standing on the inner wall.

Violent drums suddenly sounded over the Great Wall Fortress.

The trumpets of the great battle have sounded, the drums of war have been beaten, and the prelude to the decisive battle is about to begin.

The soldiers of the Jin army on the Great Wall looked at the movement of the Hu coalition army camp for a while, and looked at the main city wall of their house for a while, looking very nervous. The vast majority of the soldiers here have never participated in a real battle, and they are clutching their weapons, their mouths slightly open, and their hearts are beating violently.

"Kill!" Xianbei Zuogu Liwang Ubatu rode a high-headed horse, with a wave of the big knife, the blade was raised, the mount roared out, and killed in the direction of the Great Wall Pass, his face was full of killing intent, and he danced the saber: "Kill into the Great Wall, no one will be left!" The iron hooves were vertical and horizontal, and the Xianbei iron cavalry was moving forward at full speed, and the sound of horses' hooves resounded throughout the land, and the dull sound of impact continued to repeat in the ears of the Jin army.

Fu Hong looked coldly at the galloping Hu cavalry, and when the Hu people entered the range of the cannons, the artillery deployed in the rear opened fire one after another. 'Boom! The shells fell one after another and exploded among the Hu people, and the originally neat Hu cavalry gradually became chaotic.

The Hu people were very uncomfortable with this style of play, as they had never encountered this style of play before. At the beginning, the fierce firepower of the Jin army temporarily suppressed the Hu people. I saw the Jin army's light and heavy firepower firing together, and suddenly the gunfire and cannon sound at the foot of the Great Wall were accompanied by screams, and the shock was so deaf that my ears were almost deaf.

Judging from the situation of the entire battlefield, on the one hand, the Hu people wanted to advance in multiple ways to contain the defenders of the entire Great Wall defense line, and at the same time, they took the Great Wall Pass at the foot of Liupan Mountain as the direction of the key attack, hoping to open the gap in the Jin army's defense line from here.

The first round of the Hu people's organizational assault was stubbornly resisted by the left and right flanks and the frontal Jin army. Less than an hour after the battle began, nearly a thousand corpses of Xianbei people were thrown in front of the frontal position. Faced with the terrain disadvantage of having to attack upward, the Xianbei people were undaunted, and after retreating, they replenished some troops from the rear, and then carried out the next round of attack.

In the face of the frenzied attack of the Hu people, the Jin army's defense work was very sufficient, and the material storage was very sufficient, which can be seen from the continuous sound of artillery.

"Boom, boom!"

At the same time, the soldiers of the Jin army on the Great Wall raised their hands with one hand, and a row of muskets spread out in a row, shooting directly at the dense Xianbei people.

"Ho Ho ......"

In the face of huge casualties, the Xianbei people kept roaring, not only did they not flinch, but they still danced their swords with high morale, Ubatu took the lead, and his own soldiers followed, urging his subordinates to continue to attack the Jin army's defensive line.

"Whoosh ......"

The sharp arrows shot by the Xianbei people tore the armor of the Jin soldiers, and the dense arrow rain killed people was still very good, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of Jin soldiers were shot to the ground by the Hu people, and they all fell to the ground and died!

Seeing this, Fu Hong was furious: "Tell the brothers of the artillery that the enemy's bow and arrow troops must be destroyed!" ”

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, the artillery in the rear immediately dropped the muzzle of the cannon and fired one shell after another to kill the enemy, almost every shell could take the lives of dozens of Hu iron horsemen.

It was a war of fire and blood, and after half an hour of fighting, the two sides faced each other several times in a row, and finally, the situation was completely scorched. (To be continued......)
