Section 1104 The Huns' Choice (2)

After these people dispersed, soon, the relevant news reached the ears of Huyan Dangtu. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAfter all, the Xiongnu Empire has been accumulating prestige for a long time, and there are still many diehards and brainless fans.

"Hmph, these guys ......" Hu Yan Dangtu clenched his fists, resentful.

If in the past, the first thing he had to do was to screw off the heads of these scum who dared to have different intentions, hang them on the top of the city, and hang them!

But now, no.

Although these tribes are small tribes, their numbers are huge, and together they are tens of thousands of tribes.

Although in fact, even if these tens of thousands of Yi fell completely, Huyan Dangtu only needed one thousand horsemen to suppress them!

But......

Now, the Han army is outside the city.

At this time when the empire was at stake, Huyan Dangtu no longer dared to attack these tribes and forced them to rebel.

Not why.

Simply because, if these tribes were forced to rebel in his hands, it would inevitably cause a chain reaction.

You must know that now in the Hexi Corridor, there are still tens of thousands of evil tribes that have not been dealt with!

If these people are forced to rebel again, it is difficult to guarantee that the non-Xiongnu tribes on the entire grassland will not die and revolt collectively.

More importantly, Huyan Dangtu was already preparing for defeat.

For nomads, of course, it is important to anticipate failure.

What if there is a strong wind on the way to the migration?

What if you arrive at your scheduled migration stopover and find that there is no grass growing in the area?

What if there is a snowstorm in the winter?

In addition, there are a series of unpredictable, uncalculable and sudden crises such as epidemics, plagues, and locust plagues.

So, in the steppe, the leader of any tribe must have, 'What should I do if there is a crisis?' Such a consciousness.

Those who do not have such consciousness are either cut to pulp by angry tribesmen or die in crisis.

And for thousands of years, the lesson of blood has taught nomads that they must be prepared for anything.

This is a basic skill for the leaders of nomadic tribes.

After the Battle of Heyin, Huyan knew that the loss of Gaoque was only a matter of time.

Giving up Gao Que, or even giving up Yinshan, has become his choice.

Because these places are too close to the border of the Han Dynasty.

The main force of the Han Dynasty could be very effective in supporting it.

The battle of Heyin proved that the combat effectiveness of the Han Dynasty's armies, except for the divine cavalry, had far surpassed the elite of the Xiongnu headquarters.

In this way, it has become extremely dangerous to fight with the Han Dynasty in this river.

In fact, in Huyan Dangtu's heart, this high que, even if the Han Dynasty people could not conquer it, they could not defend it until spring.

This is something that is determined by the characteristics of the Huns.

It is impossible for the nomads to cram such a large army into such a small area as Gaoque City for a long time.

For the Huns, this is no different from suicide.

The reason is simple, the cavalry's horses and food need pasture support.

It was impossible for the Xiongnu to be like the Han Dynasty, constantly mobilizing livestock, forage, and food from hundreds or even thousands of miles away to support Gaoque.

Even if it was really miraculously achieved, it would usually only lead to one result - maybe the Han Dynasty did not defeat the Xiongnu, but the Xiongnu died in such attrition.

This is not a joke, but a fact.

Therefore, since ancient times, the people who lead the bow are like a collection of birds if they win, and they disintegrate when they lose.

Back then, the tug-of-war between the Han and Hungarian on the Great Wall made the old Shangdan Yu unbearable, so he could only send an envoy to repair and shake hands and make peace.

Therefore, as soon as Heyin was defeated, Hu Yan knew that Gao Que could not be defended.

Survive the power that can consume the Han Dynasty people in Gaoque, and then abandon the city after victory.

The same is true for Yinshan.

Unless they can achieve a decisive victory in the field battle, thwart the offensive of the Han Dynasty, and break the myth of the invincibility of the Han Dynasty's cavalry, especially the invincibility of the divine cavalry.

Otherwise, don't go to the field with the Han Dynasty again.

Since it is impossible to fight in the field, then it is meaningless to trap this river land and Yin Mountain.

That had no effect other than consuming the strength of the Huns themselves.

Even, if the people of the Han Dynasty were smart, they only needed to send troops to confront the Xiongnu in Gaoque and Yinshan.

Relying on consumption, you can drag the Huns to death.

So......

"The Bank of China said that what he said to Lan Tuoxin before he died was right......" Hu Yan Dangtu sighed: "I hated it, I didn't believe it before!" ”

The Bank of China said that before he died, he once told Lan Tuoxin that once the Han Dynasty people were out of the fortress, they would give up the land before Gaoque after a little resistance, and try to block the Han Dynasty's army in Gaoque, if they found that they could not resist, they would immediately give up Gaoque, give up Yinshan, and turn into the Hexi Corridor, using space and time.

At the same time, the Han Dynasty was lured into the Hexi Corridor.

Then concentrate the forces of the whole country to encircle and annihilate the main force of the Han Dynasty that was too deep.

Even if it is to besiege a few thousand people with 100,000 horsemen!

Once upon a time, who would have written to the assertions of the Lines?

At that time, everyone felt that the Bank of China was probably confused, how could the Great Huns be reduced to the point that even Gaoque and Yinshan had to be handed over, just in exchange for encircling and annihilating a Han army of only a few thousand?

However, after the Battle of Heyin, Huyan Dangtu had already woken up.

The judgment of the Bank of China is right!

The current Xiongnu are completely backward in terms of cavalry tactics, equipment, and even technology and tactics.

The battle of Heyin was like a winter thunder, resounding through Hu Yan Dangtu's body and mind.

Let him clearly see the gap between Han and Hungary.

The Xiongnu lagged behind the Han Dynasty more than just equipment.

The tactics displayed by the Han Dynasty were a completely new cavalry tactic, based on high-speed maneuvering and emphasizing collective combat.

On the other hand, the Huns are still using the old tactics of decades ago.

This is the reason for the fiasco of the Huyan clan's ten thousand horses.

As for the spirit and tactics of the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu lagged behind the Han Dynasty by more than one or two steps.

In the Battle of Heyin, the tenacity and horror shown by the Han Dynasty army are still engraved in Huyan Dangtu's heart.

Let him understand what a terrible opponent he is facing.

Such a team player is really terrible for the current Huns.

Even Hu Yan Dangtu did not have any confidence in defeating the Han cavalry in the field.

It was not only because of the tragedy of the Battle of Heyin that all the people present at that time were heartbroken, and they no longer dared to face the soldiers of the Han Dynasty.

It's even more because the Huns can't afford to lose now.

Hu Yan Dangtu was sure that as long as he lost again in the field.

Then, all the tribes inside and outside Gaoque City will stand up against the Xiongnu and kneel down to lick the Han Dynasty by the way.

And if Gaoque is lost now, then it will be a devastating disaster for the Xiongnu Empire.

Behind Gao Que there is now an innumerable population and livestock, including hundreds of thousands of tribal people and slaves who have retreated from before Gao Que.

Among them, there are more than 100,000 pregnant women or women who have just given birth to young children.

These are all powerless, extremely weak, and people who have no ability to resist.

More importantly - they are the future of the Huns.

Therefore, Gao Que must not lose now!

The clans in the rear must be bought enough time to retreat.

This is the reason why Hu Yan Dangtu does not dare to go out of the city to face the battle now.

He now just needs to be towed.

For each day of delay, there is one more day to retreat.

"Someone!" Hu Yan Dangtu called his loyal slave: "Go and tell Brother Zhe that I want him to take He Lai and Guhu first within three days...... Evacuate to Hexi and settle near Rouge Mountain...... Let the Zhelan people spy on them! ”

Huyan Dangtu spat out the names of more than a dozen tribes.

These tribes are some of the less stable ones.

Even like Helai, there are already some clans that kneel in front of the Han Dynasty.

These unstable tribes, if in the past, according to Huyan Dangtu's temper, would naturally have been killed. Use their blood to intimidate other tribes.

But not right now.

It's not just because of the fear of the rabbit dying and the fox being sad.

It is even more because of the current Xiongnu, every bit of strength is extraordinarily precious.

The main force of the headquarters has suffered a heavy blow this time.

A full three thousand horsemen were disabled, his direct clan, and even the entire army were wiped out, and even Daxu became the spoils of war of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, the headquarters urgently needs a period of time to recuperate and recuperate.

Although these tribes are unstable, as long as they withdraw to Hexi, which is controlled by the Xiongnu, can they still turn the sky upside down?

At least, no matter what, you can't leave these guys to the Han Dynasty people, let them go and be dogs for the Han Dynasty people!

…………………………………………

The wolf slammed outside, and thousands of miles were frozen.

On the snowy ground, a Hun cavalry was quietly approaching from the depths of the grassland to a valley about a hundred miles outside the wolf fortress.

This is the main force of the two Lan clan ten thousand horsemen commanded by Lan Tuoxin.

As soon as they entered the valley, dozens of herdsmen, riding horses, came to the front of Landosin, then knelt down, kowtowed, and said, "Master! ”

Lan Tuoxin looked at them and asked, "How's the situation?" ”

"The hosts! The minions were ordered to reconnoiter and spy on the intelligence of the Han Dynasty, and they have already gained something these days......" One of the leaders of these herdsmen prostrated on the snow and reported: "The minions have confirmed that the main force of the Han Dynasty is already approaching Gaoque!" Not long ago, it was said that the Han Dynasty defeated the army of General Zuo in Heyin......"

"Heyin?" Lan Tuoxin snorted in surprise.

In the past few days, he has almost understood the geographical division and cognition of the Han Dynasty people in the Han Dynasty from more than a dozen looted Han Dynasty descendants.

In my impression, the land named Heyin in the Han Dynasty should be near the Nanhe River, at the forefront of Wolf Mountain.

And that was not the route of the main forces of the Han Dynasty.

General Zuo Hu Yan was slaughtered, and he actually suffered a defeat there, does this mean that something unplanned happened?

Thinking like this, Lan Tuoxin asked, "So, what about the current movement of the Han Dynasty Divine Cavalry?" ”

"Report to the master, this is not clear, the Han Dynasty people's mansion newspaper did not say these things......"

"Oh......" Randoshin nodded.

He knew that he was faced with a difficult choice, whether to continue to go south, or to return to the north and enter the river from the other side to support Huyan Dangtu?

These two decisions may affect the fate of the two elite horsemen of the Lan clan led by him, and even lead them to death.

After thinking for a long time, Lan Tuoxin said: "Let's go back to Dragon City and wait for Da Dan Yu to return!" ”

"Send someone to tell General Zuo that Lan Tuoxin has a heavy trust in him, but, for the sake of the Great Huns, please forgive General Zuo, I must reserve the fire for the Huns to defeat the Han Dynasty!"

Making this decision means that Talantuoxin has judged that the war between the rivers will be defeated.

In the face of the general trend of the inevitable defeat of the Xiongnu, it is no longer meaningful to invade the border fortress of the Han Dynasty.

Maybe even catch up with him and his clan elite.

Because, Lan Tuoxin has just received the news - and his army has been blocked by the Han Dynasty between the white mountains and black waters.

Although I don't know the specifics, it's certain that the road is almost over.

This surprised Lan Tuoxin inexplicably.

also made him dare not act rashly about the southern invasion.

"You minions, continue to lurk among the tribes...... Landosin commanded, "wait for my call!" ”

"Yes! My master! The herders knelt down and kowtowed.

If there were Han army officers who were here, they would definitely be able to recognize that many of these people belonged to several fetters at the foot of the Great Wall.

There are even tribal chiefs among them!

And these people are the products of the war between the Han and the Hungarians in the past few decades and the war between each other.

In those years, when the Han and Huns were evenly matched or the Xiongnu had the advantage, the spies and eyes and ears of the Xiongnu spread all over the foot of the Great Wall, and even many Han Dynasty people became the spies of the Xiongnu.

Unfortunately, that pomp and circumstance is gone.

These dozens of people in front of them are already the only good minions who are absolutely loyal to the Huns in the end.

The others were either killed by the Huns or by the Han Dynasty.

Among them, the Huns themselves killed the most!

Especially in the destruction of Donghu in that year, the Xiongnu not only destroyed the largest intelligence base of the Han Dynasty people on the grassland, but also destroyed the largest intelligence source of the Xiongnu in the Han Dynasty.

Only now did Lan Tuoxin know that the price of destroying Donghu in the first place was so heavy.

Back then, when Lu Itzhi, the king of Donghu, was alive, although his position was more inclined to the Han Dynasty.

But he was a ******, betting on both ends, and the Xiongnu could also get military, people's livelihood, and political intelligence about the Han Dynasty from him.

Even relying on Lu Tazhi, the Xiongnu were able to learn about the movements of the Han Dynasty's military and political tops and the latest personnel changes.

And this information, since the destruction of Luta, the Xiongnu have not obtained.

So much so that the Huns are still not the prime minister of the Han Dynasty or Zhou Yafu? Who are the generals of the Han Dynasty who led the troops this time? It's also confusing!

The destruction of the Donghu tribe also led to other double agents and a large number of Han Dynasty people who were originally loyal to the Xiongnu, who changed their hexagrams.

Many people are dreaming of returning to the Han Dynasty.

Because they felt that the Xiongnu always treated them as outsiders.

Only a few people who have no shame are still loyal to serve the Huns.

But those guys are not what Landosin wants.

It's just sycophant, and it's a waste of food to keep it!

If it weren't for the sake of show, Lan Tuoxin would have killed all the waste. (To be continued.) )
