Chapter 1046 The Enemy of Heyin (1)
The sixth winter of Yuande has been the third day of October. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Thorn South Plains.
The Zhidu Department finally found a place where the river could be crossed.
This section of the river, at the northern tip of the plain, is very close to the uplifted mountains.
This may be due to the wide river and the gentle current.
This section of the river was completely frozen due to the cold weather.
The ice was thick enough for cavalry to pass through.
But heavy equipment will not work.
Therefore, the Han army had to send a cavalry to cross the river first, set up a camp on the opposite bank, and then build a pontoon bridge so that all kinds of heavy equipment and heavy equipment and horse-drawn carriages could cross the river.
In this process, the enemy of Heyin seems to have completely ignored the Han army's move to cross the river.
Except for the fact that a few scouts were sent to scout from afar at breakfast, there were few other actions.
But Zhidu found the Huns in the depths of the grassland in the distance through the clairvoyant mirror.
"One, two, three, four......" Zhi put down the clairvoyant mirror and looked into the distance intently.
Just the Huns that are revealed in front of you are as many as four sides!
You must know that the Xiongnu Daxu is not like the flag of the Han army.
In the Han army, the units above Sima had their own banners.
On the flag, in addition to the emblem of the army to which it belongs, there is also the surname of its commander.
Like Zhidu, he commanded an army of hundreds of Sima's troops, and often carried hundreds of banners.
This is also the symbol of the king's master!
But this was not the case with the Huns.
Because its cloth is precious, and the animal skin is even more precious.
Generally speaking, only the tribe will have the Daxu!
Familiar, similar to the big eagle of the Zhelan tribe, the antelope of the Aries tribe, and the wolf head of the right king.
Of course, these Daxu are now in the Han Family Temple, as a ritual vessel for the Son of Heaven to worship the ancestors and ancestors.
It is precisely because of the Huns' Daxu that the symbol is extremely strong.
So, now, the Han dynasty has established a basic Xiongnu Daxu atlas.
On an atlas, about twenty or thirty Xiongnu tribes were recorded.
Zhidu has a copy of this album in his hand, of course.
He flipped through the album in his hand and began to recognize it from memory.
"White Tiger Daxu! This is the headquarters of the left general of the Huns! ”
"Goshawk Daxu! This is the headquarters of the Hun Subu clan! ”
"The Two-Headed Wolf! The headquarters of the Lan family! ”
Three Da Xuan were identified in a row, and Zhidu's heart sank to the bottom violently.
Just these three Daxu told Zhidu that he was facing the most powerful enemy of the Han family, the elite of the Xiongnu's headquarters!
The elite of the headquarters of the Huns, needless to say!
Not to mention, as long as you look at the current Xiongnu Empire, it is all supported by the support of its headquarters of 400,000 yiluo, you will know how powerful these guys are!
Think about it, under the deterrence of the Xiongnu headquarters, even the big tribes such as Zhelan, Baiyang, Lou Fu, Xiu Tu, and Hun Evil have to obediently bow their heads and be slaves, so you can see that these guys are not easy to match.
If the fist is not hard enough.
Why did these big tribes submit to the Xiongnu and serve the Huns as dogs?
It's just that......
"This deer-headed Daxu, which tribe is it?" Zhi Du held the clairvoyant mirror, looked at the big dragon standing in the southeast, and pondered.
From the azimuth, this tribe is the cavalry that guards the flank of the headquarters of the Xiongnu Left General and serves as its escort.
Therefore, it can be proved that this tribe should also be the headquarters cavalry of the Xiongnu.
Otherwise, it would not have been possible to have such a status.
"The army probably won the lottery...... Zhi Du put down the clairvoyant mirror and said to the generals on the left and right: "Just the Daxu that has appeared is four-sided, and if it does not appear, it is estimated that there are two or three ......."
When the generals heard this, they were also a little solemn.
One side of Daxu is a tribe.
At least one 10,000 rides!
The Huns rode 10,000 horses, generally 5,000 to 8,000 horses.
This means that in and around Heyin, the hedgehog has gathered a force of more than 50,000 horsemen, and the total force is at least 30,000 horsemen.
That is, twice the total strength of the Han army!
Six years ago, such a force was enough to break through the Great Wall and invade the entire northern country of the Han family, so that the Han family had to mobilize the forces of the entire Guanzhong to deal with it.
Without an army of more than 100,000, the Han army did not dare to confront it head-on.
And now......
"But we have to face such an enemy with 15,000 men......" Someone felt a little frightened in his heart: "How is this possible? ”
But there are also people who are elated and ready to go.
Especially those generals of the loyal army, they just wanted to lead the army to rush over and screw off the heads of those scumbags, so as to wash away their sins and sublimate into Zhuxia.
There are also people who are quiet on the surface, but in fact they decide to do a big job.
For example, the generals of the Modao Battalion.
"This situation is a great opportunity for my generation to perform!" The two captains of the Modao Battalion both glanced at each other with joy.
Is there a better battlefield for them than the current situation?
As long as they thought of the enemy being used like a tide, but in front of the Modao army, they turned into stumps and severed bodies, they laughed happily in their hearts.
But Zhidu is different from such a general.
As a general, he knows very well that at this moment, calmness is the only right way.
"It is impossible for our army to retreat......" Zhi Du said to everyone: "Retreat is equivalent to death!" ”
Everyone nodded when they heard this.
This is a truth that even the little soldiers understand.
Because, the Han army is a shortcut to occupy the south of the thorns.
The original intention was good, because as long as there were not many enemies in Heyin, the Han army could easily take Heyin and gain a foothold.
But unfortunately, now, there are more than enough enemies in Heyin!
They were more than double the total strength of the Han army.
At this time, the Han army dared to retreat, and even if it was to stick to Jiannan, it was a dead end.
The Huns did not need to do anything else.
It was enough to send 10,000 cavalry south to cut off the supply lines of the Han army.
And the Han army in the south of the thorn if they want to protect their supply lines.
Then, the problems that came from the previous shortcuts will immediately erupt!
Because the road from the south of the thorns to the Zengshan Pass is far narrower and more dangerous than the Zengshan Pass from the bottom of the river.
The Huns only had to hold certain passes and gorges.
Then, the Han army will usher in the road of death.
The narrow paths and rugged mountain roads will allow the Han army to experience the taste of Qin Mugong's army encountering the Jin army in Kunshan Mountain.
So, to retreat is to die!
The only way to survive is right in front of you.
As long as you defeat the enemy in front of you and occupy Hayin, you can protect your supply lines.
It can also find a suitable safe haven and base for the army.
But with 15,000 men you want to defeat at least 30,000 enemies?
Zhi Du felt that this was too embarrassing.
Historically, there have been many examples of winning more with less.
But most of them are enemies ****, who have made unforgivable mistakes, or, their own occupation of the right time and place, and at the same time, the other party's internal turmoil is unbearable, and there are many orders.
Do the Huns look like a ****?
Or rather, is the Huns on the opposite side now fighting in infighting?
Zhi didn't know.
But he knew that as a general, victory must not be based on the stupidity or mistakes of the enemy.
Fortunately......
When it comes to attacking, Zhidu may still have some doubts about his army.
But defensively?
Who was the Han army afraid of?
Even if there are no walls or fortresses to rely on.
However, the Zhuxia nation has been a nation that has been good at taking advantage of geographical advantages since ancient times. (To be continued.) )
