Chapter 332: The Battle of Mobei (6)

"The place where this bird doesn't lay eggs is ten or a hundred times more desolate than Longxi!"

The lord of Longxi followed Wei Qing on the march, and his military general Wang Tiegun couldn't help complaining.

Marching on the Mongolian Plateau is also a difficult task for an iron man of Wang Tiegun's level.

"Maybe we will have to leave this Gobi soon, and then there will be abundant aquatic plants."

Xu Fengnian, the lord of Longxi, looked a little haggard. The difficulty of marching thousands of miles in the Gobi and desert is far greater than that in the Central Plains. The physical strength and morale of the soldiers under his command were severely affected.

This is exactly the trap of the Huns, the Han army in order to destroy the main force of the Huns, and they have no plan, and they are engaged in war with the Huns under unfavorable circumstances.

Xu Fengnian could already imagine that in the front, the Hun cavalry, which was waiting for work and a large number of people, was already in full array, waiting for the Han cavalry to appear.

"The main force of the Huns has been found ahead!"

"More than 100,000 people! No, maybe two hundred thousand! And even more! ”

"It is suspected that the main force of the Huns is alone!"

The news of the Han army scouts in front came out, causing panic among the Weiqing Legion.

Although everyone knew the tactics of the Xiongnu, they still felt apprehensive when they found that the main force of the Xiongnu was ahead.

The number of the Huns quadrupled!

The Xiongnu were not so easy to deal with, otherwise Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would not have had to exhaust the war potential of the entire empire to destroy the Xiongnu royal court and break out wars with the Xiongnu that lasted for decades.

Under the premise of fighting on the home turf of the Xiongnu, morale and physical strength declined, if you want to defeat the elite division of the Xiongnu Shan Yu, you need to take great risks.

If you're not careful, you might lose!

"It seems that the Xiongnu Shan Yu really did not advance eastward......"

Wei Qing learned that the information was wrong in Dingxiang County, and the Xiongnu Shan Yu, who was supposed to be dealt with by Huo Quai, appeared in front of him, but he still resolutely sent troops.

Hundreds of thousands of people were recruited by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to transport grain and weapons to Dingxiang County and Dai County to fight a decisive battle with the Xiongnu, even if there was a big mistake in the intelligence, but the cost of giving up the war was too great, and Wei Qing could only rely on the less elite Han cavalry to fight a decisive battle with the Xiongnu.

The brave soldiers were assigned to Huo Qubing by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the intelligence was wrong, the morale and physical strength decreased after crossing the Gobi and the desert, and the number of Xiongnu cavalry increased......

All kinds of unfavorable factors intersect, and under such unfavorable conditions, if you can win, you will be a famous player in the world.

Wei Qing did not fear the Xiongnu because of this, but did not hesitate and continued to march.

Wei Qing led four generals of the rebel army out of the Gobi and encountered the main force of the Xiongnu!

More than 200,000 Hun cavalry stretched for dozens of miles, camped in camps, and seized dangerous places. The banner of the Hun camp covers the sky, as far as the eye can see!

This is one of the two main forces of the Huns!

"The Xiongnu were really strong, no wonder they could fight a war with the Han Empire for many years...... Later nomadic tribes, and even in the Central Plains, in fact, many people were descendants of the Xiongnu, but they were assimilated, or, changed their names. ”

Yang Shilang, the lord of Jiangling, faced the terrible Xiongnu army, and his scalp was numb. During the march, he found that Wei Qing's soldiers and horses lacked cavalry generals.

The northern princes were either assigned to Huo Qubing 1st Road or Li Guang 1st Road, while the northern princes of Weiqing 1st Road were only Xu Fengnian of Longxi.

The military generals brought by Yang Shilang were Han Shizhong (the fourth general of Zhongxing in the Southern Song Dynasty) and Pan Mei (the founding general of the Northern Song Dynasty), but their cavalry was not top-notch.

Wei Qing really relied on Wei Qing himself, as well as Xu Fengnian's Longxi cavalry, generals Wang Yanzhang and Li Hu (Li Shimin's great-grandfather).

"Not only cavalry, but infantry and crossbowmen are needed for this battle."

Wei Qing also knew that there were not many cavalry generals in his hands who could play a role, so he ordered Wu Gang to surround the battalion to stabilize his position and avoid being overwhelmed by the large number of Hun cavalry. The Wugang chariot is also a military chariot covered with thick leather.

Troop chariots can be used to transport grain, grass and weapons, and can also quickly form a chariot formation to prevent cavalry raids.

When the Han Empire was at war with the Xiongnu, the tactics of the fortress were not uncommon, and the power of the Han crossbow at that time was greater, which could often cause a large number of casualties to the Xiongnu who lacked heavy cavalry.

"Su Zhang, you lead an army of three thousand divine crossbows to assist the general in guarding the chariot formation."

Wang Defa, the Taishou of Nanhai County from Jiaozhou, ordered Su Zhang, the general of the Southern Han Dynasty of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, to assist Wei Qing in suppressing the battle.

Su Zhang had the most elite crossbow army in the Southern Han Dynasty under his command, and he was a famous general for a while, but few lords in the Eastern Han Dynasty knew about this person.

Many lords have a group of powerful second- and third-rate generals, although they are not as good as legendary generals, sometimes they can be used wonderfully, for example, at this time, the three thousand divine crossbow army with the chariot base can make the Han army stand firm and have no worries.

The two sides confronted each other on the edge of the Gobi.

In the south is the cavalry and infantry of Wei Qing, the general of the Han Empire, less than 100,000 people, and the morale and physical strength are generally low, among which the morale of Wei Qing's cavalry is still high.

In the north is the cavalry of the Xiongnu Yizhi oblique single Yu, the number is more than 200,000, except for the remnants of the right Xian King, most of the Xiongnu cavalry is waiting for work, morale and physical strength are high!

If it weren't for the defeat of King Youxian, the number of the main force of the Hun cavalry on this road could even exceed 300,000!

"General, this time in the battle of Mobei, I, Zhao Xin, want to end the myth of your invincibility."

Zhao Xin served the Han Empire for a while, and after betraying the Han Empire, he wanted to challenge his former boss, Wei Qing, the general of the Han Empire.

"Wei Qing and Huo Qu are sick and don't die, and our Hun women have no color."

Xiongnu Yizhi obliquely pointed at the Han Empire army opposite with a horsewhip.

He hated Wei Qing and Huo Qu to the core.

Wei Qing destroyed the Xiongnu sacrifice to the heavens and holy land Longcheng in the Battle of Longcheng, expelled the Xiongnu from the Hetao area with fertile water and grass, and defeated the Youxian King in the Battle of Monan, sweeping through Monan like an iron plow.

After Huo Qubing joined the Han-Hungarian War, the situation of the Xiongnu became more and more difficult, Huo Qubing took 800 cavalry, captured more than 2,000 people such as the Xiongnu Shan Yu's uncle, the minister of state, and the grandfather of Shan Yu, and shocked the Huns.

This time, the Huns Yizhi obliquely ordered to gamble on the national luck!

If the battle of Mobei fails, the Xiongnu power will completely decline and lose control of the southern and western regions.

"The Huns have been harassing Biansai for many years, and it's time to fall."

Wei Qing ordered his cavalry to rest, temporarily recover their strength, and prepare for a decisive battle with the Xiongnu.

He looked at the warhawk in the sky.

As a legendary cavalry commander, Wei Qing has unparalleled keen intuition. He had noticed that there was always a warhawk following his troops, sometimes two.

According to his experience of fighting with the Xiongnu, this war eagle was not a plaything of the Xiongnu, but a means used by the generals of the rebel army to reconnoitre.

Chu Tian's methods have been detected by Wei Qing, but Wei Qing has not made it clear.

Wei Qing looked at the war eagle: "If you are good at running, then don't let me down." ”

Li Guang all the way, Chu Tian, who was supported by Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi, became the de facto commander, and Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had to obey his moderation. Whoever has the big fist, whose word is the truth.

Chu Tian followed the rout of the Right Xian King and marched forward for two hundred miles, and the war eagle had already detected the whereabouts of the Xiongnu Yizhi Xian Danyu.

When he learned that Wei Qing's department was rapidly approaching Yizhi Xiandanyu, he immediately persuaded Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi to give up their baggage, and even give up the cattle and sheep they had just won, and attack him again.

"That's a good plan!"

Li Guang was in a good mood and recognized Chu Tian's practice of stabbing Yi Zhi from behind.

"Whether we can be a marquis or not, it all depends on Mr."

Zhao Shiqi even regarded Chu Tian as a strange person sent by God to lead them, took Chu Tian's hand, and put the hope of the marquis on Chu Tian.

Chu Tian couldn't stand Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi's enthusiasm for the feud, so he broke away: "As long as the two of you trust me, maybe we can capture Yizhi Xian Danyu alive, escort him to Chang'an, and wash your Majesty's feet." ”

"Very good, very good!"

Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi thought of the scene where Yi Zhi slanted and served the foot washing water for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the picture seemed to be a little too beautiful.

Cao Cao witnessed that Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi were easily bribed by Chu Tian, and knew that Chu Tian had become the commander of the Han army along the way. However, Cao Cao put the overall situation first, was willing to obey Chu Tian's orders, and embarked on the road of no return......

Yuan Shao saw that Cao Cao had succumbed, so he had to act passively.

Now they are more than a thousand miles away from the Great Wall of Qin and Zhao in Dingxiang County, separated by a large area of Gobi and desert, and if they are defeated by Yi Zhi Xiandanyu, it is a question whether they can escape back smoothly. Being chased by the Huns for thousands of miles is no joke.

"Yang Ye, Tai Shici, there is a task entrusted to you. In addition, assign to you a hundred Iron Eagle Scout Cavalry and a War Eagle. ”

Chu Tian assigned tasks to Yang Ye and Tai Shici alone. Yang Ye and Tai Shici led the Changshui Battalion and the Yueqi Battalion, which numbered less than 2,000, to part ways with Chutian.

"It's a pity that the characteristics of the Heavenly Khan are limited in this battle......"

If Chutian could use the ability of the "Heavenly Khan" to turn the Xiongnu into a servant army, the battle would be quite simple, and he could even capture tens of thousands of Xiongnu cavalry and return to the main world.

However, the two sides of the Battle of Mobei had a feud, the Huns would not surrender, and Chutian could only execute all the prisoners.

Chu Tian was unable to recruit cavalry in the desert, and the consumption of troops was little by little, so every time he used troops, it seemed that he was bold and bold to advance, but in fact, Chu Tian was cautious and carried out a surprise attack after getting accurate information.

"Huo Quai's Eastern Route Army has already engaged the main force of King Zuoxian!"

Chutian found that on the points leaderboard, the princes of the Eastern Route Army, such as Lao Qin and Mingguan, began to be on the list. With Lu Bu, Yang Dayan, and Meng Tian, the old Qin squeezed Chu Tian, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao out of the top three positions, and the momentum was very fierce and had come to the first place. Because Chu Tian killed some Hun scouts and routs halfway, his points increased slightly.

First place, Zhen Lao Qin, points 18122.

Second place, I just want to farm well, 16631 points.

Third place, a small soldier at the border at the end of the Ming Dynasty, with a score of 15924.

Fourth place, do not teach Humadu Yinshan, with 11924 points.

Fifth place, Shijiazhuang Zhao Zilong, points 9924.

Sixth place, Cao Cao, 9001 points.

Seventh place, Yuan Shao, 8917 points.

……

Huo Quai's soldiers and horses all the way seem to be still fighting with the Huns, and his points are still rising.

"Old Qin and Mingguan are both extremely difficult opponents......"

Chu Tian was aware of the threat posed by these two powerful enemies.

One is in Liaodong and the other is in Guanzhong, which is not far from Xuzhou in Chutian, but it is not close.

Their spheres of influence are not bordering now, but not necessarily in the future.

At present, Li Guang has dealt with the Right Xian King all the way, and Huo Qubing has dealt with the Zuo Xian King all the way, and each of them has made gains, as for the princes of Wei Qing all the way, there are only dozens or hundreds of points, which shows that they have not yet fought with the Xiongnu Yizhi Xian Danyu.

Chutian left Lu Su and five hundred Tang archers and cavalry to drive the cattle and sheep, and the rest of their respective legions also left hundreds of cavalry to break off, and the main cavalry followed Chutian and attacked.

Li Guang had already formed three troops along the way, the main force rushed to the front, with 40,000 cavalry, followed by the troops driving cattle and sheep, with thousands of people, and the second was the infantry transporting heavy loads, and they were still struggling to make their way in the desert in the rear.

Cao Cao noticed that Chutian's cavalry had separated a force and left, and he was suspicious, so Xiahou Yuan led a thousand cavalry to follow Yang Ye and Tai Shici.

Chu Tian saw Cao Cao's actions in his eyes, and his evaluation of Cao Cao improved, and he didn't care about Cao Cao's small actions. Perhaps Xiahou Yuan can make up for the lack of troops of Yang Ye and Tai Shici.

Chu Tian, Li Guang, Zhao Shiqi, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao joined forces with 40,000 horsemen and began to rush to the battlefield where Wei Qing was.

In this battle of Mobei, it is common to chase and kill hundreds, two hundred, and three hundred miles at every turn!

In the Eastern Route Army, Huo Qubing led 800 hussars to chisel through the Chinese army of the Hun Zuoxian King's black pressure, and the Han cavalry in the rear fought bravely and followed Huo Qubing to tear apart the large array of Zuoxian Wang!

Huo Quai's 800 cavalry is unstoppable, destroying the withering and decaying!

The Hun cavalry like a tide was unstoppable, and there were constantly Hun cavalry, generals, and nobles who died under Huo Quai's assault!

In addition to 800 hussars, Huo Qubing also had tens of thousands of Han cavalry, and after capturing the main force of the Xiongnu Zuoxian King, without saying a word, he directly attacked the Xiongnu Zuoxian King's own formation!

Under the command of Huo Quai, the Han army was like a rainbow, treating death as home, killing tens of thousands of Hun cavalry!

"Although these eight hundred hussars are light cavalry, they definitely exceed the sixth order, or even exceed the seventh order, and their combat is even more terrifying than the heavy cavalry......"

Lao Qin led the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and the Flying Bear Army, responsible for attacking the left side of the Hun army, and he couldn't help but feel terrified when he saw Huo Quai's light cavalry fighting the momentum of heavy cavalry.

The rank of heavy cavalry is generally higher than that of light cavalry, for example, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is a seventh-order cavalry, while the White Horse Yicong is only a sixth-order cavalry. Because the heavy cavalry sacrificed mobility in exchange for defense and shock.

If Huo Quai's 800 hussars came and went like the wind, and had the momentum of heavy cavalry, it would be too terrifying......

Lu Bu wielded Fang Tian's halberd and led a team of wolf horses to trap in the Hun army all over the mountains and fields, reaping the lives of the Hun cavalry! The heavy Fang Tian painting halberd fell, and a Hun general couldn't resist and was killed by Lu Bu with one move!

The wolf rider of Bingzhou is good at dealing with the Huns, and he fights side by side with Lu Bu and kills thousands of Huns!

The Northern Wei Dynasty fierce general Yang Dayan protected the old Qin conflict and the strong formation, all of which were destroyed!

Meng Tian went out of battle, the Huns were frightened, and their morale plummeted!

King Zuoxian's subordinates are far more than King Youxian, with more than 200,000 cavalry! Lao Qin, who has three cavalry generals, has killed a large number of Xiongnu Zuoxian King's subordinates, and has already topped the rankings!

Shi Wansui and Han Baohu joined forces to advance, and the spear stabbed to death the Hun cavalry blocking the front, and the cavalry of the Sui Dynasty followed the main general to break through, and it was unstoppable!

After Huo Qubing chiseled through the army of King Zuoxian of the Huns, he led the eight hundred Han Empire hussars to turn back and once again chisel through the army of King Zuoxian!

Huo Qubing returned to his own formation, the war horse was tired, he ordered his cavalry to change to another war horse, and launched a surprise attack on the army of the Xiongnu Zuoxian King for the third time!

The Huns who were hit back and forth by Huo Quai's disease were desperate, and the mentality of King Zuoxian of the Huns collapsed, coupled with the hard work of other princes, more than 200,000 cavalry collapsed.
