"Woo~~~"

The trumpet of the conscription sounded, the warriors of the Han Dynasty began to march through the army, and the officials of the government began to present the suitable athletes in the county according to the household register.

The biggest difference between ancient dynasties and modern societies in terms of armies is that they do not maintain a large standing army.

Because for the ancient dynasties with low productivity, the cost of doing so was simply too high to afford.

There are more than 20,000 and nearly 30,000 forbidden troops in Chang'an City, but in fact, except for the period when the northern and southern armies with the largest military strength, they are maintained at about 15,000 people at other times, and the captain of 2,000 stone is already a high-level official, but the number of troops in charge is very small, and the rest of the forbidden army is distributed in various counties in Guanzhong to rotate.

The same is true of the vast counties of Shandong, basically there are hundreds to a thousand or so county soldiers in each county or kingdom, and according to the size of the county, these are the standing armies of the Han Dynasty, and these alone have been consumed extensively.

When the Han Dynasty went out to fight, it was always thousands or tens of thousands, and then these elites were used as the skeleton, and they were constantly recruited and filled along the way, and finally formed an army of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

Zhou Yafu has served as a general for more than 20 years, and he really knows too much about the Han army, so he quickly counted the equipment and men, and the soldiers and horses of the five routes went out of the jam, naturally not blindly to fight, but to have a plan for the operation, including when to arrive at what place, there are requirements, once the deadline is not reached, it is an extremely serious mistake.

When they split up, Zhou Yafu said in a deep voice: "Everyone, those who can participate in this war are either the descendants of the founding heroes or the important ministers trusted by His Majesty.

Your Majesty is waiting for our good news in the Changle Palace, from Emperor Gao to the title of the hero, to now for decades, we have been extremely rich, now is the opportunity to repay the emperor's grace, with the head of the Huns, to continue our glory, to prove that the glory of our ancestors continues in us! ”

"Whoa! Immediately after the Great General! ”

Everyone responded with great interest, and it was a great joy for them to be able to fight.

In the current Han Dynasty, compared with the princes, the kingdom is bigger, richer and more powerful than the princes, but the princes have the oath of Liu Bang when he founded the country, and they will last longer.

From the establishment of the Han Dynasty to the present, the princes and kings of the Liu family have changed, especially Emperor Xiaowen, who has many sons, and there has been a big blood change, but the princes have been safely and steadily inherited until now, except for those who were involved in the rebellion case.

But there is no difference in essence, they are all feudal streams, but the princes and kings rely on blood to maintain their wealth, while the princes rely on the emperor's trust and military merits.

If the emperor did not give these princes a noble status and enough trust, then in order to maintain the wealth of the family, these princes would provoke wars and take military merits even if they had nothing to do.

When Liu Heng was the emperor, although there was basically no war, the reward for these princes was once every three or five days, which was to appease the princes, without military merits, your wealth and nobility could still be guaranteed.

……

The Han army marched out of the fortress and marched towards the grassland, and the accumulation of filial piety was extremely profound, not only money and grain, but also a lot of horses, but the quality of these horses could not be compared with the Huns, but they were qualified as war horses.

Zhou Yafu studied the previous battles against the famous Xiongnu generals, such as Li Mu of the Zhao State in the past, as well as Meng Tian and the most fierce Han general Han Wumu, and then came to a conclusion, that is, although it cannot win a big victory, it will never fail.

"General, this time with the Huns, do you have a draft in your heart?"

Zhou Yafu heard this: "Although the people of the bow come and go like the wind, but after all, there are traces to follow, the Monan grassland is so big, there are only such places that can be used for livestock to drink, as long as you arrive in advance, you can form an encirclement, in the past, the general Han Wumu was encircled by the Huns before he achieved a big victory, so the key to victory is that the Huns can't run!"

If this goal cannot be achieved, then it is not possible to start a war with the Xiongnu without authorization, especially to keep the number of bows and crossbows as a deterrent, and then form a formation and retreat. ”

Hearing this, the adjutant general asked with some curiosity: "General, when the formation retreats, it is most likely to have flaws, if the Huns take advantage of the situation at that time, then what should they do?"

If the army turns from retreat to rout, I am afraid that it will not be able to collect the rout unless the late general Han Wumu is alive. ”

In ancient times, due to the lack of convenience in information exchange, the retreat of the army could easily become a collapse, which has been proven by countless wars, and the generals who can be completely defeated without being defeated at present, the most recent one is Han Xin, when Xiang Ying was in the decisive battle, it was with this ability to defeat and not collapse, Xiang Yu was dragged to a state of exhaustion, and finally won the battle.

Zhou Yafu laughed loudly when he heard this: "That's why I brought those chariots. ”

When everyone heard this, they looked at those chariots, this kind of chariots were completely different from the kind of chariots that were popular hundreds of years ago, the chariots gradually disappeared in various wars with the gradual rise of cavalry, and the chariots brought by Zhou Yafu were even taller, and if people lowered their bodies slightly, they could even hide behind them, and the whole body was made of iron, which was extremely hard, just like an iron box.

Zhou Yafu saw that everyone was puzzled, and said with a smug smile: "With this car as a ring connection, our soldiers can take turns attacking behind the car, and the most important thing is that the ring car can resist the horse and go straight in, and it can also make the soldiers stabilize their position according to the connected iron wall, and will not lose their direction directly."

If it's nighttime, you can take turns to rest, and this is a mobile camp! ”

Zhou Yafu's words made everyone's eyes light up, and they all praised: "The general is really wise and wise, and he can actually use the eliminated chariots for waste, which is beyond our reach." ”

Zhou Yafu waved his hand casually and said: "It's just some worthless cleverness, if you want to defeat the Huns, you can't rely on these alone, you still have to work together." ”

……

The Xiongnu are the overlords of the grassland, and the huge Han army has entered the grassland, and this news is impossible to hide from the Xiongnu royal court, and every tribe is the eye of the Xiongnu royal court.

In particular, the Xiongnu tribes, which were unusually united under the command of Qilian Dan, soon sent people to the Xiongnu court to report the news.

The envoy of the king of Zuogu Li was the first to come to the court of the Xiongnu king, because one of the grasslands closest to the Han court belonged to his tribe, and the messenger of the king of Zuogu Li said angrily: "Great Shan Yu, the Han people sent more than 100,000 troops into the grassland, this is a declaration of war on the great Great Xia, my king sent a minister to tell you, he will obey your orders and give the Han people the most severe blow." ”

Qi Lian Shan Yu really never expected that the Han people would take the initiative to attack the grassland, he was about to look up to the sky and laugh wildly, before he wanted to attack the Central Plains, but he was persuaded by everyone, and he himself was instigated, so he stopped the idea of starting a war with the Han court.

But I didn't expect that now Han Ting would mainly come to fight, and immediately smiled: "Gather the kings of various tribes, the great Xia Dan Yu surrounded by the sun and the moon, in the name of the sky, to issue a conscription order to all the kings and nobles of the entire Great Xia Empire, take your livestock, take the herdsmen of your tribe, pick up the weapons in your hands, wield your sword, step on the war horse, and follow this Dan Yu to fight until victory, the supreme heaven, the great god of Yanzhi Mountain and Qilian Mountain, will bless us until victory." ”

Orders from the Golden Horde soon followed the envoys from all sides into the hands of the Xiongnu princes and nobles, and many nobles began to pack their tents and drive their cattle to gradually gather.

Once the war began, no one could ignore Qi Lian Shan Yu, whether his political methods were superb may still be debatable, but his war ability is absolutely no one will doubt that he is called "the first warrior of Great Xia" by all the Huns, this is a brave man who can tear apart tigers and leopards, and even can directly knock down a galloping war horse.

Even if he is brave to this point, he is not a reckless man, but a cultural person who has learned the art of war in the Central Plains, he is very aware of the superiority of the Central Plains culture, and only the people he trusts the most can be qualified to read the books he got from the Central Plains.

Objectively speaking, Qi Lian Shan Yu can be called the little overlord of the Huns, in fact, as a person who is familiar with the affairs of the Central Plains, Qi Lian Shan Yu really thinks that he and the overlord of Chu are the same kind of people, and they are unparalleled commanders and generals.

Countless Xiongnu scouts quickly scattered from the various tribes, and then gathered here in Qilian Danyu, waiting for Qilian Danyu to arrange the task of fighting, mainly the four most critical kings of the left and right Xian kings and the left and right Guli kings, with the support of these four tribes, coupled with the power of the Xiongnu royal court, it is enough to shake all the countries on the Eurasian continent.

Qi Lian Shan Yu soon got the news that the Han army was divided into five routes, he was stunned at first, and then immediately laughed, "The Han army would be so stupid, dividing the troops into five routes on the grassland, this is simply sent to the door and being broken by each one, the Han people's military books have recorded such drawbacks, but they still made this mistake, this must be the blessing of the gods of Great Xia."

Chuan Ben Shan Yu's order, gather cavalry, first crush the weakest road of the Han people, cut off the connection between them, and then surround and break through separately, and don't let any Han people leave the grassland! ”

With Qi Lian Shan Yu's order, tens of thousands of cavalry began to gallop on the grassland, which was almost the most elite group of cavalry in the entire grassland.

Zhou Yafu silently calculated the time, and then after the feedback of the scouts, he learned that many tribes had left the original grazing place, he smiled slightly, and suddenly changed the direction of the march, changing the previous turtle speed to come, but using both vehicles and horses, and marching quickly.

……

When the wind was surging on the grassland, Luo Jing arrived in Zhaocheng and saw Luo Ling directly, what made him feel a little surprised was that Luo Ling seemed to know that he was coming, and he just walked in and asked directly: "Ah Jing, you are here for the war between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu, right?" ”

Luo Jingduan sat opposite Luoling and sighed, "That's the case. ”
