The route of the Huns' invasion is basically uncertain, and there is one point, Zhang Jiashi is also very helpless, that is, he is worried that next year's battle with the Huns will stage a scene of the siege of Baideng. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In a sense, the siege of Baideng can be regarded as a representative of the defense capability of the Great Wall, if it were not for the opening of the border defense of the Great Wall on behalf of Wang Chen Xuan, I am afraid that the Huns want to enter the south of the Great Wall in a big way, and the price paid is not small.
Of course, if it weren't for the fact that Acting King Chen Feng chose this path in Zhang Jiashi's original world, maybe Liu Bang would have killed him a long time ago.
Zhang Jiashi didn't think that there would be any big problems in the border county soldiers at this time, but there was one thing he had to guard against. That is what kind of scale the Huns went south.
According to the intelligence, Xiongnu Shan Yu Maodun studied in Longcheng and his father Tou Manshan Yu did so, and made an oath with the various tribal leaders of the Xiongnu. From this point of view, it is very likely that this will be a full-scale war that the Huns intend to launch against the Great Qin Empire.
And the last time Toumandanyu's oath, although it was not a comprehensive southward movement of the Huns, but a military operation in which Toumandanyu concentrated the main forces of King Youxian and Shan Yuting to fight south. And because of the serious threat of the Donghu people, Touman Shan Yu did not intend to break out a fierce battle with the Great Qin Empire under the condition of being attacked on both sides.
And King Zuo Xian's troops were exactly the existence that had to be left behind to deal with the possible sneak attack of the Donghu people at that time.
There is a material in the historical records that after the Xiongnu suffered a disastrous defeat in the Battle of Yinshan in Hetao, their national strength declined seriously, which led to Mao Dun assassinating Touman Shan Yu, seizing control of Shan Yuting, and becoming the new Shan Yu, after the Donghu people put forward many unreasonable demands on the weakened Xiongnu.
First money, then horses, then Maudun's wives and concubines, and finally the land occupied by the Huns.
In the first three, Mao Dun chose a compromise method in order to paralyze the Donghu people, while the last one, Mao Dun rose up to resist.
As the department of Zuo Xianwang of the Huns, it is naturally the biggest foreshadowing left by Maodun in the battle against the Donghu people.
The Xiongnu tribe led by King Zuo Xian was mainly in the area north of Daijun to Yanmen County at that time, and bordered the Donghu people, and after receiving the hint of Mao Dun, King Zuo Xian directly launched a fierce attack on the Donghu people, and defeated the defenseless Donghu tribe in the border area of the two forces in one fell swoop, and officially opened the career of Mao Dun to hit Donghu heavily and open up territory.
In this world, in the Battle of the Great Wall in 209 BC, the Donghu people defeated the Donghu people, who were quite powerful, and the strength of the Donghu people suddenly declined very seriously.
This also laid a very important foreshadowing for Mao Dun to order the troops of King Zuo Xian to attack the Donghu people in the east.
Zhang Jiashi didn't expect that his battle, which was a real battle for fame, would make great changes in the history of this world.
......
Maybe few people in this world would know that if it weren't for Zhang Jiashi's appearance in this world, then the current Great Qin Empire would have fallen. The western and eastern Liaodong areas became the main direction of the Donghu people's southward plunder.
Even Jixian County could not escape the fate of being sacked by the Donghu people.
Therefore, if the current situation is concerned, if the Xiongnu Zuoxian Wang's department adopts the Great Wall from the north of Yan County as the main attack point, then it is very likely that before the reinforcements of Liaoning County and Shang County arrive, the northern part of Yan County will be full of gunsmoke.
In order to avoid this situation, Zhang Jiashi ordered Peng Yue to be moved to the rank of lieutenant of Yanjun County, responsible for the defense of the Great Wall.
In the mobilization order that ordered the convening of the people to discuss the possibility that the Huns would march south next year, Zhang Jiashi also gave Peng Yue an expedient order:
"If the Great Wall cannot be defended, then you can choose to fight with the Huns and delay the Huns until the main reinforcements arrive. ”
Zhang Jiashi didn't know that even if Peng Yue was proficient in game warfare, but compared with the Huns, who were good at mobility, Peng Yue's game warfare was likely to have no effect.
But he had to arrange it that way. Because Zhang Jiashi knew that with less than 40,000 officers and soldiers in the northern part of Yan County, it was already difficult to hold on to the Great Wall, and if the Huns concentrated a little to attack, then the 40,000 people were afraid that the Huns would be able to break through the Great Wall defense line before the mobilization was completed.
And Zhang Jiashi did not plan to put the other four specially formed elite cavalry units into the area of Yan County at the moment, because after thinking about it for a while, Yan County was adjacent to Liaoning County and across the sea from Shang County, if large-scale reinforcements were really needed, whether it was Shang County or Liaoning County, a certain number of troops could be drawn to support.
In a sense, although the two led the army to the west in Zhang Jiashi's westward expedition and Su Jiaowei in the bloody battle with the Huns the year before, resulting in a decline in the combat effectiveness of the troops in the two counties, there is no doubt that Shang County and Liaoning County, as one of the backbone areas of Zhang Jiashi's forces, have a military foundation that cannot be compared with the Yan State or even the First Emperor's period.
If necessary, Liaoning County was able to arm more than 70,000 troops in two months. Of course, how strong the combat effectiveness of these troops can be, Zhang Jiashi said that there is no hope.
And if these 70,000 troops stick to the Great Wall of Liaoning County and the cities including Dingxiang City, then they will play a role that is not small, which provides a corresponding basis for the reinforcement of troops in other directions in the two places.
This was also Zhang Jiashi's last change of mind, and the mobile force of Yingbu was dispatched to Jinbei County, and joined forces with Huan Su to prevent the main force of Xiongnu Shan Yuting from directly attacking the Great Wall of Jinbei County.
The other two mobile troops were led by Su Teng and Wang Li.
Wang Li's mobile troops were stationed in Jiuyuan County, but when Zhang Jiashi summoned him to discuss the military situation, he also put forward a request to the veteran, that is, if the Huns' troops invaded south were too strong, he could decide whether this force should go to Jinbei County and join up with Huan Su and Yingbu's troops.
Zhang Jiashi knew very well that with only more than 30,000 cavalry-based troops under Wang Li's command, it would undoubtedly be very difficult to assist Li Mian in holding Jiuyuan County or even continuing to maintain contact with Yunzhong County.
Because if the Xiongnu Shan Yuting took this shortest offensive route and went south, then it was very likely that there would be 200,000 or even more knights, which was really not something that the more than 30,000 people under Wang Li's command could easily oppose.
And Zhang Jiashi didn't think that Mao Dun would give Wang Li another glorious result of slaughtering the Huns like Meng Tian.
If Wang Li's department is besieged by the Huns, it should not be a problem to hold on for two or three days, but two or three days may not be able to support Yingbu and Huan Suo to lead the army to reinforcements, and Li Mian, as the county guard, is unlikely to move lightly, it is very likely that Wang Li's department may be besieged and annihilated by Maodun with superior forces and regardless of casualties.
This kind of defeat, maybe the Huns will have to pay more price, but in the same way, the collapse of this army is also a loss that the Great Qin Empire can not bear.
It is impossible for Zhang Jiashi to let this army engage in meaningless death with the Huns, because for him, the Huns are certainly terrible, but as long as the Huns can pay a heavier price in this war and narrow the strategic gap between the two sides closer and closer, then even if the losses in some aspects are more heavy, he will not give up this idea.
This is similar to the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty used the cost of the overall national strength to defeat the Huns, it seems that the gains outweigh the losses, but from the perspective of historical trends, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made the right decision. Using unbearable pain to effectively weaken the existence of the Han Empire's biggest henchmen, and even more so to weaken the strength of the Huns to a very low level, this strategic trend is certainly intolerable, and there is no doubt that the result is that the Han Empire can alleviate the threat of border troubles in the north.
Zhang Jiashi knew that his decision was difficult for him to accept, but it was a pain that he had to endure.
Because this is a battle that bets on the future national fortunes of the Great Qin Empire.
If the Great Qin Empire loses in this decisive battle or does not complete the corresponding effect expectations, then for the entire Great Qin Empire, it is possible that most of the area will be under the control of the Huns. Although the Great Qin Empire can move south, how much will this southward migration prolong the life of the Great Qin Empire, Zhang Jiashi doesn't know, and he doesn't want this result to happen.
So this is also the fundamental reason why Zhang Jiashi let Wang Li act expediently.
If Wang Li, Huan Su and Yingbu three mobile combat troops are concentrated together, then it is undoubtedly a serious threat to the Huns, if in this case, Wang Li and others can find an opportunity to hit the Huns hard, then Zhang Jiashi can say that the Huns are finished.
As for the last mobile combat unit, that is, under the command of Su Teng, it is currently stationed in the area of Shangjun near Xianyang County, and at the same time not far from the Hetao area, which is also deliberately arranged by Zhang Jiashi.
Because Su Teng led his army to garrison this place, he was still able to support the adjacent Hetao area in a short period of time, and the area that was attacked by the Xiongnu Youxian Wang.
Zhang Jiashi actually didn't know much about the Xiongnu's Youxian Wang's department, because Youxianwang's department was mainly accompanied by Mao Dun, first expelling the Yue's people, and then defeating the Qiang people in the Hexi Corridor.
All this seems to be Mao Dun's merits, but what Zhang Jiashi himself can think of, that is, the ability of this Right Virtuous King is not bad.
Perhaps, with only the troops of the northern part of Xianyang County, the southern part of Shangjun and Su Teng, it will be difficult to stop the invasion of the Youxian Wang's army. However, Zhang Jiashi was sure that with the main force of the Central Army, after converging with other troops, then the Huns' Youxian Wang's department would face a greater crisis.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
Before convening this military meeting, Zhang Jiashi had many discussions with Chen Ping, Li Xin and others, and the result of these discussions was that if the Xiongnu really moved south, the defense system of the Great Wall would be broken through for how long it could hold out, so there was not much hope.
Of course, concentrating most of the forces around the Great Wall was able to inflict greater casualties on the Huns before they broke through the Great Wall's defensive system.
However, once the defense system in many areas is breached, it is very likely that the heavy troops stationed along the Great Wall will not be able to effectively evacuate.
According to this line of thought, it is impossible for the Great Wall to be watertight in defense, even if the Huns are not good enough and use human lives to fill in, the garrisons along the Great Wall may not be able to hold out for a long time.
In terms of armament, although the equipment along the Great Wall is still somewhat lacking, it is still not too much of a problem to make up for these missing equipment.
It's just that the problem is not in this place, if the Huns really attack a little bit, even if the armament gap along the Great Wall is complete, the role it plays is not too big.
Therefore, Zhang Jiashi had to follow Li Xin's suggestion and hoard more ordnance materials, grain and grass in some county towns to strengthen the defense capability of these county towns.
Because if the Huns really broke through a few locations, it would be difficult for the garrisons around the Great Wall to break through, and if a large number of ordnance cantonments were placed along the Great Wall, I am afraid that Zhang Jiashi would have even more headaches.
The Huns are not a nation that does not know how to use large weapons, if they are not nomadic people, they are basically knights, and maybe they also have their own experience in large equipment.
As for Yunzhong County, after Zhang Jiashi took over the control of Yunzhong County, because he remembered the description of "The Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty" that he saw in later generations, that is, the Huns relied on disguise as a grain transport team, raided Yunzhong County, killed and plundered officials and people, and burned Yunzhong County, Zhang Jiashi had such a reminder to Yang Wengzi: "Yunzhong County itself does not produce much grain, and basically has to rely on materials from other places to maintain, but there is one thing that must be noted, that is, the situation of the grain transport team cannot be trusted." If possible, it is best to train a few goshawks to make corresponding intelligence contacts. ”
Zhang Jiashi's hint made Yang Wengzi deeply convinced, because Yang Wengzi knew very well that as a salient department, the situation in Yunzhong County was very complicated, and if the Huns really had some tricks, opening the city gate or killing people to seize the city, it would be really difficult to react effectively.
Therefore, in this regard, Yang Wengzi repaired a book to the person in charge of Shang County, hoping to provide corresponding help in this regard.
And Zhang Jiashi, Yang Wengzi and didn't know what the situation was, but they didn't ask too much, what they didn't expect was that the Huns really planned to use the tactics of camouflaging the grain transport team to defraud the city, if it weren't for the goshawk contact and didn't mention this, I'm afraid that Cloud City would be easily lost......
