Chapter 410: Strength and Skill
The horn of "Woo Woo ......" whimpered, as if he was weeping for Hu Qi's tragic experience.
After living for decades, I never thought that playing the trumpet was such a painful thing. He even used his strength to feed, and when he put down the horn, he felt a hot pain in his chest, and a feeling of suffocation followed.
Before leaving, he had never imagined that this battle would be so difficult, and in the eyes of him and most of the tribal leaders, this trip to Hebei should be the beginning of a series of brilliant ones.
Since the first large-scale battle, the Battle of Hebei has been fought for almost a year, from spring to the end of winter! There were more than 10 battles with a scale of more than 10,000 people alone, and five main duels were fought.
killed 1,000 enemies and injured 800 themselves, and beat Jizhou, the richest and strongest Han, to the end of the road, and the Qingzhou army could not be unscathed, right?
Even if the loss is limited, what about physical strength? What about the spirit? Soldiers are not made of iron, no matter how elite they are, it is impossible to strip away all these innate human feelings, right?
Before leaving, the plan discussed at the tribal meeting was perfect, and before the decisive battle between Yuan and Wang, there was no need to rush into action, even if Yuan Shao sent an invitation, he would delay it for a while. When the two sides are in a decisive battle, no matter which side loses, the winning side will not be comfortable. Then there is the classic repertoire of sandpiper and clam fighting, and fishermen profiting.
After destroying the Qingzhou army, he used a strong force to coerce Yuan Shao, signed an alliance with him under the city, and used the name of the other party as a cover to occupy several counties in Jizhou as a pasture for the Huns to recuperate...... Everything was so perfect, in order to grasp the warplane, on the way to the march, the tribesmen didn't even do much of their usual favorite deeds.
But what is happening in front of his eyes now?
The Qingzhou Army behaved like a new force at all. No, more vigorous than the new force. The weakness of those swordsmen and axes is only an illusion, and they will not be exhausted until they have killed all the 10,000 horsemen who have been surrounded.
It's over!
Go to Bei to see the process of the fall of the Great Hun Guli King with his own eyes, although he did not die on the spot, but there is nothing to be thankful about, it is the intention of the enemy general. The axe-wielding general planned to use this bait to completely destroy the hope of the Hun cavalry to regroup.
The coordination of the enemy forces with each other has reached the point of outrageousness.
Putting aside the previous temptation and outflanking, take the current situation as an example, King Gu Li was injured but did not die. The archers in the rear of the enemy army keenly discovered the fighters, and the long-range attacks that were evenly distributed and maintained a steady rhythm suddenly accelerated the frequency and began to carry out key strikes.
The bravest guards fell from their horses and fell under the rain of arrows. There are very few people who can smoothly rush in front of the enemy general, and engage in white-knuckle combat with them.
During the whole process, Qubei didn't even see the other party waving the flag and communicating with the flag. The cooperation of the enemy generals. It is completely based on the tacit understanding between each other and the grasp of the battle situation.
It is clear that the Huns have courage and know how to cooperate. But this kind of wonderful coordination is the pinnacle. It's something I can't have anyway.
The grassland people do not have as many masters of the art of war as the Central Plains, and no one has the opportunity to learn clever knowledge, even if they do, it is useless. The Xiongnu is a general term, in fact, it is also composed of many small tribes, and they only come together because of huge interests.
In peacetime, there are many discords, frictions, and even vendettas between various tribes, and it is already great to go to the battlefield and not fight separately, where can we achieve this level of cooperation of the Han army?
The only way to get out of the predicament is to reinforce the main force, not thousands of horsemen and thousands of horsemen, but to launch the whole army and break the situation with an irresistible huge force!
Break ten clever with one force!
He firmly believed that as long as the Xiongnu army went all out, then no matter how exquisite the Han army's cooperation and tactics were, it was impossible to change the balance of strength.
The sound of the horn sounded hoarsely and hoarsely spread throughout the battlefield in an instant. Although most people do not understand the message conveyed by the horn, the meaning contained in it is still easy to understand - the Hun army is not in a good position, and the two vanguard troops are on the verge of defeat!
If he begs for help or not, Yuvro will not turn a blind eye to the embarrassment of the front, and the reason why he has not moved for a long time is because of the ongoing controversy of the Chinese army.
"Father Khan!"
Liu Bao is the eldest son of Yu Fuluo, of course his name is not called this, because of the civil strife in the fifth year of Zhongping, he stayed in the Central Plains for a period of time, during this time, he deeply realized the profundity of Han Jiahua, out of admiration and yearning, he gave himself a Han name.
Unlike his fathers, he knew some words, and even went to some Confucian schools to listen to them, learned a lot of military books and war strategies, and also had a deep understanding of the current embarrassment of the war situation.
"Father Khan, the cooperation of the Han army is too exquisite, we are not opponents, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the Han army has not yet closed the siege and let the clansmen withdraw! Yuan Shao deceived us, the decisive battle between him and the Qingzhou Army was completely one-sided, and he didn't consume the strength of the Qingzhou Army at all! Only when you stay in the green mountains can you have a chance to make a comeback, father Khan! ”
The strength of the Qingzhou army is limited, and Zhao Yun's light cavalry alone cannot completely cover the battlefield, and the reason why Hu Cai is in a dilemma is only because he wants to maintain the system. If it was just to preserve his strength and let the soldiers retreat, even if Zhao Yun gave birth to three heads and six arms, he would not be able to stop him. In fact, there are quite a few routs who are escaping from the gap between the warbands.
Based on Liu Bao's understanding of the Central Plains, the time is still far from now, far from the moment when the heroes are withered and the Huns can play a pivotal role. Now that we have witnessed the superb strength of the Qingzhou Army, it is the best policy to preserve the strength and withdraw.
"Traveling thousands of miles is just to lose thousands of people and achieve the name of a champion Hou?" Yu Furo did not look back, but the unwillingness and resentment in his tone were extremely strong.
"No, we can rescue Yuan Shao." Liu Bao pointed to Mingshi Mountain and said loudly: "He is still the pastor of Jizhou, and after he is still the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes, he has a high appeal, and in his name, we can easily take all the states." Recuperate, wait for the Central Plains to fight each other almost over, and then reconsider the matter of herding horses south! ”
"How long will it take?" Yu Fuluo was slightly moved, although he still didn't turn his head, but his tone loosened a lot.
"Maybe a few years, maybe decades, as long as we wait patiently, there will be a day! Father, you can't wait, just wait for the child! The child can't wait. It's up to your grandchildren to do it! ”
Yu Furo did not speak, but turned to the tribal leaders: "What do you think? ”
Accounts differ and opinions vary.
Some people are afraid of the military might of Qingzhou, or they are safe when they are rich, and they feel that if they can successfully occupy and merge the state, they will already be very content. These people agree with Liu Bao's view.
But more people think that the Qingzhou army is just using tricks, and there is nothing to be afraid of, as long as the army launches a fierce attack, it can crush all conspiracies and tricks. Of course, the most important thing is that the two states of Hebei and Qingdao are much richer than the barren states, and since they have the opportunity to get better. Why give up because it's just a risk?
Waiting for a few years, or even decades, is something that can be obtained by hard work in front of you. It's so ethereal. What happens when everyone is dead? What to do when the Central Plains are reunited and a dynasty more powerful than the Han Dynasty rises?
No one here is a prophet, so they, not even Liu Bao himself, will know. His words are a true prophecy - in the history of his previous life, Liu Bao had a son named Liu Yuan. It was this person who led the Huns to unveil the prelude to the Wuhu Chaos and brought darkness to the entire Central Plains!
Yuvro finally turned his head, stared at his son, and said meaningfully, "You, understood?" ”
"Yes." Liu Bao lowered his head and closed his eyes in pain.
Even if he is not an emperor, even if he is an emperor, it is impossible to disobey the public opinion. The vast majority of the people are going to continue to fight and seize the rich land they have imagined, and who can hold these crazy horses on the edge of the cliff?
I can't, and neither can my father.
In his ears, Yu Fuluo's confident shout came: "All return to the department, the whole army will assault and completely defeat the Qingzhou army!" ”
"Whew...... Ho! Cheers erupted.
The arrogant Hu Qi had long been impatient, they didn't understand, why Da Dan Yu only sent so many men and horses to rush into battle every time, if the whole army was killed at the beginning, the Han people's thin formation would not break through at once? How could you fight so hard?
"Father Khan ......" raised his head and looked at his father, Liu Bao wanted to speak and stopped. The people of the steppe all age quickly, and Yu Fuluo is still middle-aged, but that weather-beaten face, no matter how you look at it, can only be possessed by an old man who knows the destiny of heaven.
Liu Bao couldn't bear to remind him again.
"I know." Yu Fuluo raised his hand, interrupted Liu Bao's words, and said slowly: "This battlefield was selected by Wang Pengju, so he put on that nondescript formation, and also sent his subordinates to provoke in the future. He just doesn't want us to think about it and make more adjustments, and what you want to remind me is this, right? ”
"Father Khan, do you know?" Liu Bao was surprised, he was a long time after the battle began, and he searched for a similar record in a certain military book in his memory, how could his father Khan ......
Yu Furo smiled, it is true that only by reading and seeing can he make a difference. But on the other hand, people who don't read may not be uninformed, and rich experience can make up for the lack of knowledge.
"I was fooled too." A wry smile appeared on the face of the gully, and Yu Fuluo continued: "I shouldn't directly rush the formation of the Qingzhou army, I should be more cautious, go back to the north of Mingshi Mountain, and fight the Youzhou army first!" Let Yuan Shao help block the Qingzhou army, and when the Youzhou army is defeated, we can attack in an all-out way and besiege the Qingzhou army from all sides, but it's a pity ......"
The strong sense of remorse made Yuvro's tone extremely resentful, and the voice clearly came from his mouth, but it sounded like a harsh feeling of metal rubbing.
The battlefield selected by Wang Yu, although it is also an open land, but the left flank is the big river, the right flank is the Mingshi Mountain, compared to the 20,000 iron cavalry, it is a relatively narrow area, which greatly restricts the play of the cavalry, and the Huns can not give full play to the advantages of troops and troops.
Cavalry battles are not only a method of battle. The use of maneuver to attack the flaws of the enemy army is also not Zhao Yun's patent. The mistake of the Huns at the beginning was that they were lured by Wang Yu's thin formation.
If he could do it all over again, Yu Fuluo could think of countless ways to break the game, but unfortunately, there was no regret medicine in the world, so he could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his mouth.
It's too late to change tactics now, unless he can watch as 10,000 people are slaughtered. He couldn't do it, so he could only rush into the trap to see if Wang Yu's tricks were powerful, or the iron cavalry was stronger.
Liu Bao was silent, and then he heard his father Khan's tone change, and there was suddenly a hint of love in his voice.
"Leopard, let's go."
"What?" Liu Bao was stunned.
Yu Fuluo's words were quick and low, but the meaning was very clear: "When the army moves, no one will pay too much attention, you take your guards away, go back to Bingzhou, go back to the grassland." ”
"But ......"
"No, even if this battle is really lost, the clansmen still have to survive after all, and someone has to preside over the overall situation! If I'm wrong, do as you say, recuperate, and wait! Wait until the blood of the Central Plains people is exhausted, wait until the heroes of the Qingzhou Army die, and wait until the Central Plains are all in charge of a family like Yuan Shao...... The era of the Huns is not far away, if you understand, let's go! ”
After a while, Liu Bao finally responded: "...... As you wish, Father Khan! ”
