Chapter 266: Fierce Battle of the Two Kings
At the foot of Yin Mountain, the corner of the Hetao, the long gallop road leading to Xianyang has been abandoned for 60 years, once it was the Jiuyuan County of the Great Qin Empire, and the Great Wall of Qin became the paradise of the Xiongnu tribe in the past. ±
The Hetao Plain is the middle protrusion of the Yellow River, the north of the Yellow River is surrounded by Yin Mountain and Yang Mountain, and the south of the Yellow River is on the edge of the Loess Plateau, so this area is also called Henan Land.
The Hetao Plain is divided into two parts, Henan belongs to the Aries King, Hebei belongs to the Lou Fu King, the two kings are the main screen domains under the account of the Right Xian King, and the northwest of the Hetao Plain across the desert Hanhai is where the royal court of the Right Xian King is located.
As soon as the morning dawned, Zhuang Su carried water to make a fire to cook, and his long hair was casually pulled into a popular bun in the Warring States Period, and his hair was still stained with a thin mist.
The water of the big river coming down from the western plateau is extremely clear, after the baptism of the Loess Plateau becomes the turbid Yellow River, the Han army camping will not choose to camp near the Yellow River, the clarified water is too time-consuming and unhygienic, the area with natural clear rivers is the best choice for camping, there are two natural rivers here, the average water depth of three meters is crystal clear.
This is located in the northeast corner of the Hetao Le River border, belongs to a relatively rare sandy land, the Han army found many ancient pottery shards when patrolling nearby, Cao Shi told them not to make a fuss, this is the Neolithic tribe left relics, and the Han army went to the vicinity to find herdsmen to collect various relics and remains information, it is said that it may be the remains of a tribe four thousand years ago.
At that time, many people went to watch the excavation of the ruins, Zhuang Su couldn't squeeze in and couldn't understand, and came back early after watching the excitement outside for a while, and this morning I heard that the jade pig dragon was dug up. There are also a number of gold objects, which are priceless.
"Sister Su Su got up early."
Zhao Rui walked over with the woman's bun. The twenty-year-old little woman was fair-skinned and delicate, and her expression was radiant: "Yesterday, my husband-in-law made a little fuss, didn't disturb you and Second Brother Wei to rest, right?" ”
Zhuang Su blushed: "We are resting well and are not affected." ”
"But in the middle of the night I heard a voice from your tent. It seems that the kitten is called Spring, did I hear it wrong? ”
"You still say."
Zhao Rui giggled and ran away.
Wei Buguang and Chen Zhang have a very good relationship, Zhuang Su and Zhao Rui have become good sisters, the two young couples are not only of the same age and have similar interests, but also have the same background in Pingyang Houfu is particularly close, Zhuang Su and Wei Buguang's good things are also matched by Chen Zhang and Zhao Rui.
The people walking on the desert steppe are very lonely, most of the Houfu cavalry are married, the older children are happy in groups, and the younger ones don't have to worry if they are not married. The situation of Wei Buguang's family is relatively special, the daughter of the ordinary Hou Mansion Ding Hu does not dare to say that he is close, and the family background is high and he can't make up his mind to say kiss, so he has been floating alone.
It was an accident to meet the ignorant Zhuang Su, she didn't know his fundamental identity, and the two could ride horses freely on the grassland, talking about their life ideals and beautiful expectations for the future.
After a long time, the two unconsciously walked together.
Last year, Wei Buguang asked her to get married, and Zhuang Su agreed without much thought. Her life was saved by Wei Buguang, her new life was guided by Wei Buguang, Wei Buguang did not dislike her for being taken away, it was not that he was kind and kind to people. But the ancient atmosphere has always been light and chaste, and I don't care much about my behavior before marriage, as long as I am healthy and can have children. It's good to be a housewife with peace of mind after marriage.
Zhuang Su was not taken captive for a long time, and he was tortured but did not give birth. The Xiongnu aristocracy usually only regarded Han women as playthings, and when they gave birth to children, they had to marry into the door as ladies. Apparently impossible.
On the day of the wedding, the head of Yanmen County was invited, Yanmen Taishou Guan Fu personally presided over the wedding ceremony for the two, Zhao Meng on behalf of the man's relatives, Chun Yu Tiying on behalf of the woman's relatives, the two drank the wine and married the gift, originally planned to get pregnant and have a child during the New Year, but I didn't expect that the wind direction changed greatly in one winter, and the iron hooves of the Huns stepped into the quiet Yanmen County.
The black cavalry was forced to act, constantly harassing the Xiongnu tribes around the border of Yanmen County, scratching their tongues to intercept messengers to spy on intelligence, staying in the grassland desert for a whole year and hardly stopping to rest, the royal tent cavalry of King Zuo Xian pursued and killed several times, forcing them to flee across Yangshan to the jurisdiction of King Youxian to avoid the limelight, until the 300,000 Han army defeated the main force of the Xiongnu in Yanmen County, and the black cavalry re-entered the Monan grassland as a vanguard to sweep the various departments.
Nowadays, the black cavalry follows the Yulin cavalry to act synchronously, and enjoys the same treatment as the Yulin cavalry, which is equivalent to Cao Shi's personal guard troops, and the Han army is allowed to bring the personal guard troops, which is not a special provision of the Han law but an ancient custom, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period brought more private soldiers, and the private soldiers are the regular army of the country, and the six armies of the Son of Heaven are the private armed forces of the six Wang Qings, and the six secretaries of the Jin State are also the private armed forces of the commanders.
From the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to the era of the Han Empire, the fireworks of Chinese feudal civilization for thousands of years, the strong inertia will not be broken immediately because of the centralized power of Qin Shi Huang, the founder of the early Han Dynasty, Emperor Gao Liu Bang made a reflection and re-established the feudal system of feudal princes ruling the world together with the princes, although it was broken by Emperor Taizongwen and Emperor Gaozongjing's perseverance, but many systems were not fundamentally destroyed, and the military merits were restored and guaranteed to a certain extent.
It is an open secret that Cao Shi took his personal troops, and the Yulin cavalry saw that the private troops of the Marquis of Pingyang were the same as their own training, and they completely understood that this private unit was an experimental unit of the Han army, or it could be regarded as a part of the Yulin cavalry, only the training of the 8,000 heavy cavalry had not yet been completed, and there was only 80% similarity.
Wei Buguang put on the black iron armor, put down the mask and the neck armor that protected the neck, the black armor was shrouded in black, as long as he walked out of the big tent and the Yulin Cavalry converged, it was difficult to distinguish each other, and the way to identify the identity was the difference between the password, the number plate and the armband.
The armband of the black cavalry is the eagle of the sky, and the feather forest cavalry chooses different wolf heads according to different parts, from the ordinary gray wolf, green wolf, silver wolf to the golden wolf, the most powerful is the black wolf, the heavy cavalry is also a black armor and black robe mask neck armor, their armband is a giant bear, white bear, brown bear, black bear several, according to the armband and weapon equipment to identify the subordinate troops, in addition to the internal secrecy system, the north and south armies and the county soldiers do not know for the time being.
"Good morning, General!"
"Morning! You guys train. ”
Cao Shi got up very early and insisted on exercising every morning for most of the year in the grassland. He is still very young at 21 years old, and he still has a few years to grasp when his physical strength is rising. Twenty-five years old is the maintenance period of the peak of physical strength, and the correct way of exercise and regular diet and rest habits can keep him at the peak for more than 25 years.
Jog 15 kilometers to get your body moving. Simple chest expansion and leg stretching muscles and bones, and then go back to eat and read intelligence to deal with military affairs, every day you have to insist on practicing cavalry and archery with the troops, get rid of the heavy cavalry has no hard standard of cavalry archery, the rest of the Yulin cavalry and Cao Shi's private armed forces must practice cavalry archery, the Huns have not figured out the weakness of the black armored cavalry for the time being, and when they find that the heavy cavalry in armor is slow, it will become a light cavalry around the harassment war.
In order to avoid being infinitely harassed by the Hun cavalry, practicing cavalry and shooting back is an indispensable link. Cao Shi's archery skills are notoriously powerful, several times when he encounters wolves, he is the first marksman in the Han army, and even the surrendered Huns admire him very much.
"Youxian Wangbu is stuck in the quagmire of Longxi and can't move."
Zhou Zuoche rode over on horseback: "There seems to be something unusual in Zuoxian's court, and I don't know if I am coming to the border for the time being." ”
The eagle had been flying lazily by, not noticing the great threat from the earth, and in an instant a miserable cry sounded in the air, and the eagle fell into the thick meadow like a broken wing, and the sheepdog rushed into the grass to pick up prey without shouting. Similar coordination has been carried out many times, and as long as prey is within his range, it is inevitable that he will die.
Guan Qiang said: "Congratulations to the general for practicing the marksmanship, and the strongest marksman of the Huns is nothing more than that." ”
"I'm still early, barely firing a hundred arrows in a row to exhaust my strength. There is still a long way to go before the peak. Cao Shi's eyes looked at the mountains in the distance, where were the peaks of Yangshan Mountain separated from Yin Mountain, and the natural wilderness of the left and right land of the Xiongnu. Walk west into the core area of the grassland of Lou Fu Wang.
"Will there be a problem with King Zuo Xian?"
Cao Shi shook his head: "Don't worry, I have definite information to prove that King Zuo Xian's target is not the border area of Han County. The Xiongnu Left had just ushered in a nerve-wracking loss, and were eager to recover the losses from their weaker opponents. At this time, Zuo Xian's royal army should be besieging the Wuhuan people. ”
"Wuhuan Mountain (Ulan Mountain) is adjacent to the edge of the right Beiping County......"
"Don't worry, I didn't move in Yinshan, King Zuo Xian would never dare to attack Youbeiping, if he dared to make a move, he must be ready to pay the price of Zuo Xian's court."
"The main force of the Youxian Wang's department is trapped in Longxi County and can't move, and the 100,000 infantry of the Southern Army advance to Didao in advance, preparing to fight a decisive battle with the Youxian Wang's department in Longxi County, I think Youxianwang will soon retreat."
"It is useless to continue to fight yourself, and if you don't withdraw, you won't have a chance to withdraw from Handi, I don't think King Youxian won't fail to understand this truth."
"Then why are we retreating?"
"Of course, for the sake of a slight concession for strategic interests, the main force of Zuoxian's royal army is operating near the royal court, and the Wuhuan has not done its best, and it seems that they are guarding against our northward attack."
Cao Shi fell into contemplation, Zhao She's intelligence to him mentioned the movements of the Xiongnu Shan Yuting, the main force of the 150,000 Xiongnu entrenched in Longcheng and was not disbanded, and it was clear that he wanted to fight a war to recover losses, and King Zuo Xian's fight against Wuhuan was also the meaning of the topic, and Yuting's movements alone were a bit strange, could it be that he planned to go south to support the Xiongnu to attack the Wuhuan people, if he really had such a plan, it was very likely to destroy the main force of the Wuhuan people.
If Wuhuan is destroyed, the right Beiping County to the Liaoxi Army and Liaodong County will fall into a crisis, Wuhuan is a natural screen to protect the northeastern border of the Han Dynasty, Wuhuan must deploy heavy troops in the northeastern counties, from a military strategy point of view is very dangerous.
Inadvertently swept towards the Xianbei people in the team, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind: "That's not right! By no means so! The Huns are not paying attention to the drunkard, his target is the unsuspecting Xianbei people! ”
"Huh? Why Xianbei people? ”
Weakness and furrowing: "How is this possible! We Xianbei people have always been hidden in the deep mountains and cautious, as long as we don't go to the grassland under the mountain to make trouble at will, it will not attract the attack of the Huns, this is absolutely impossible! ”
"Yes, that's because of this custom that I want to beat you."
Zhou Zuoche suddenly realized: "So that's the case!" Attacking its unpreparedness by surprise, it seems that the Xianbei people are going to suffer a big loss. ”
Cao Shi put down his mind and smiled: "The Huns are also telling us that within this year, the Han land will be at ease, and the Huns will at least waste some time on Xianbei and Wuhuan, maybe a year or two years." We can talk to King Youxian about the account of the invasion of Longxi, because the military minister Shan Yu negotiated a good price with us. Youxianwang is the best commodity! ”
"King Youxian was sold by the military minister Shan Yu."
The generals laughed: "Who called the right Xianwang The strength has not been damaged, but in the Huns, strength is respected." The powerful tribal king can openly disobey the order of the Xiongnu Shan Yu, the last confrontation was more than 20 years ago when the old Shangshan Yu era, the right Xian King and the military minister Shan Yu who is still the left Xian King had a serious conflict, and when the military minister Shan Yu ascended the throne, he immediately disposed of the right Xian Wang, and now the military minister Shan Yu suffered a slight loss, the Zuo Xian King was slightly injured, and the Right Xian King was unscathed and took advantage of Longxi County, and the Xiongnu Shan Yu did not sell him without any reason. ”
"Xianbei ......"
Cao Shi comforted: "You don't have to worry too much about Xianbei, you should have confidence in your people." Don't forget that the vast forest sea east of Xianbei Mountain is endless, and it is your natural home field, and the Hun cavalry will never cross that to the mountain beam. ”
After handling the differences of opinion within the Han army and further clarifying the true movements of the Huns, Chen Bing's Han army at the foot of Yinshan Mountain decided to attack on a large scale, and crossed Yinshan Mountain and marched west for more than 60 miles to see a huge Xiongnu army, which was lined up on the horizon, and roughly estimated that the number of people was at least about 50,000.
Seeing clearly through the monoculars the banner of the Huns is indeed not the silver wolf banner of the Right Xian King. Rather, it was the leopard flag of the king of Loufu, the sheep's head flag of the king of Aries, and the variegated flags of more than a dozen small kings, and the Huns were obviously prepared. In the face of more than 24,000 Han troops, they were still calm and composed, and the Xiongnu letter used archery to send a roll of parchment.
"Cao Shi, the general of the Han chariot cavalry, I am the king of Lou Fu and Gu Lie. There is also the Aries King Balatulun, and the Little King...... We hope to make peace with the Han generals. 300,000 cattle and sheep were sacrificed, and 10,000 Han slaves were sacrificed. 10,000 slaves from the tribes of the Western Regions, in exchange for the Han army to give up the plan to attack our department, if the Han general is willing to negotiate peace, he will send someone out. ”
The letter is written by Gu Li, stained with I don't know whether it is sheep blood or ox blood, the requirements put forward are very absurd and bizarre, the Huns still regard the Han invasion as the conquest of the strong to the weak, as long as I sacrifice my cattle and sheep and slaves to obtain your forgiveness, the two sides can reach a certain sense of alliance, when the Aries King and the Lou Fu King broke away from the Yueshi people through this means, and indirectly surrendered to the Huns to become one of the several kings under his command.
Because of this kind of refuge relationship, the Aries King and the Lou Fu King have maintained a strong independent status so far, which is completely different from those who have no strength to be killed by the left and right Xian Wang, and the left and right Gu Li Wang, as if they were a slave with no status, but they got the wrong direction, and the attack of the Han army was not the conquest of small tribes by large tribes, but a complete tragic war of life and death.
"The Huns are not ready for war, especially the naivety and naivety of the tribes in Monan is impressive, and we should give the Huns a vivid educational lesson."
Under the gaze of many Han soldiers, the parchment was thrown onto the torch and quickly ignited, when the flame swallowed the thin parchment, the general of the chariot took out the snow bright war knife, and shouted: "The so-called Huns of the Han Dynasty, the genus of birds and beasts, the wolf-hearted dog-lungs, trapped Taizu in Baideng, the weakness of bullying the high, crisscrossing the Han realm, forcing peace, Taizong forbears, Gaozong laments, let you occupy the grassland and claim the king, do not want to wait and still not satisfied, rob me of grain, humiliate my wife and daughter, destroy my homeland, kidnap my children, burn my goodness, kill me Taishou, This hatred can be learned from the sky, and this hatred can be learned from the gods! What should be done to those who are beastly despoiled? ”
Chen He's eyes widened angrily: "This thief should be killed!" ”
"What if?"
The Han army burst out with murderous intent, and his eyes were bloody: "Kill, kill, kill, kill ......"
Cao Shi laughed loudly: "Remember the memory of this moment, and then follow me to rush over and kill all the Huns!" ”
In an instant, the roaring iron hooves shook the earth, and the black iron flow raged like the rolling Yellow River, and its momentum was as fierce as thunder.
The faces of the Xiongnu nobles changed rapidly, and many of the little kings were frightened and weak, the performance of the Han army was completely different from what was expected, it was clear that their own strength was twice that of the Han army, why did they dare to charge? Why, exactly?
King Lou Fu gritted his teeth and shouted: "All move, hurry up, if we don't move, our morale will collapse." ”
"Yes, yes, only by moving can we give full play to our strength, hurry up and order the charge to kill the Han army, don't be fooled by their illusions." Under the urgent reminder of the Aries King, the Hun Pi Xiaowang finally woke up and hurriedly shouted for his troops to fight back.
I have to say that the quality of the Huns is really not bad, and the ordinary horse thieves have long been scared to pee their pants when they see the charge of the Han army, but the Hun miscellaneous army composed of ordinary grassland herdsmen did not dare not collapse, but aroused the ferocity of the steppe wolf in the huge crisis, howling like a wolf to motivate each other and launch a charge.
The 50,000 Hun cavalry launched a counter-charge, and the two sides galloped like wild horses on the loose.
Chen He rushed to the front first, this was the first time in his life to hedge with the Hun cavalry, before encountering the Hun cavalry even if it was the king's tent cavalry did not dare to face the rush, the training set finally found a touchstone, Yulin cavalry was extremely excited.
"Charge! Hold your gun tightly and let me go! ”
The mount roared and agitated, as if sensing the danger it was about to face, Chen He didn't have time to care about the mount's reaction, and shouted, "Prepare to stab!" Prick it out! ”
At the moment of impact, the Han and Hungarian armies erupted in anger at the same time, and the Han army Yulin cavalry could even see the hideous expression of the Hun tribe cavalry, and the eyes flashed with a cruel and bloodthirsty red light, and the next moment the body of the tribal cavalry was jumped up and thrown away by the cavalry spear, blood and internal organs were sprinkled all over the earth, and his abdominal cavity was poked out of a big hole, and he was killed on the spot without screaming.
