Chapter 456: A Desperate Strategy
In the first year of Motokaku, a snow at the end of the year came a little early.
Mountain dance silver snake, original Chi wax elephant.
Outside the Great Wall, a team of less than 3,000 Changning troops, with the help of horse-drawn sleighs, quickly went north.
Along the way, they wiped out all the Hun tribes and drove away their horses.
As for the cattle, sheep and livestock, it was too late to put them away, so they could only be left to fend for themselves, and I have to say that this time, Yang Chuan was also a little fierce.
In the Han Empire, he was furious, but found that he could not pour it out at all, so he could only set his eyes on the Huns in the north.
Ichichi oblique.
BOC said.
The cooperation of these two people is a bit like the feeling of embarrassment, one is a brutal wolf, the other is a cunning embarrassment, and over the years, it has caused irreparable damage and loss to the Han Empire.
This time, Yang Chuan wanted to give them a dimensionality reduction blow......
……
At the same time, thousands of miles away in Luding City, Ah Tie, Ah Mu, Ah Tu, Ah Jiu and other teenagers were gathering together in a tall stone house to discuss how to deal with the surprise attack and attack of Yi Zhixian's main army.
Of course, because of the lot of work done before, they were clear about the movements of Yizhi's army, and it was impossible for them to raid.
However, Yang Chuan's urgent secret letter to them made it very clear that he wanted to pretend that he didn't know anything, so that Yi Zhixian and Zhongxing would not notice anything abnormal, so as to facilitate a 'surprise war'.
For Ah Tie, Ah Jiu, these cowards.
Assassination, raids, and melee night battles have always been their forte, so a set of combat plans was quickly formulated.
"Yi Zhixie's target is Luding City, which is population, livestock and food, so there is no need to ambush too many people around Luding City, just send a few secret sentinels to keep an eye on the other party's movements."
Ah Tie is the commander of this battle, and after the baptism of the Battle of Hexi, this half-grown son who was born in a 'human animal' finally showed his grandeur.
Standing in front of a huge combat map, he pointed a small stick at the black, red, and yellow-red arrows on it, and talked eloquently, with a sense of majesty.
"The walls of our Luding City are solid, up to twelve zhang, divided into two inner and outer cities, as well as urn cities, arrow battlements, and dark castles, even if they are 350,000 people attacking with all their might, it will be fine."
Ah Tie pointed to a river outside Luding City, as well as a mountain in the distance, and then said: "The problem is that it is not a way to just repel the enemy under the city, so we will be a little passive.
Therefore, we have to find a way to stick them under Luding City, wait for Gongzi to come back, and we should work together inside and outside, and strive to completely annihilate the main force of Yizhixie.
Amu, you take a group of men and horses, and lie in ambush to the west of the Selenga River, and migrate all the tribal populations in that area to Luding City. ”
Then, he ambushed several more troops on the periphery.
The main job of these people is not to fight and kill the enemy, but to clear the two or three thousand miles around Luding City, so that this vast snowfield can become a real no-man's land.
Yizhi obliquely intends to be in Luding City, wanting to develop obscenely in the Beihai area, waiting for an opportunity.
Yang Chuan didn't give him this opportunity at all.
In the vast snowfield, 60,000 troops, even if they carry more grain and grass, in the severe cold conditions of more than 30 degrees below zero, the consumption of soldiers and horses will be an astonishing number.
Once you enter this no-man's land of two or three thousand miles, the logistics and supplies cannot keep up, even if it is a big bullock, after a month or two, it will be nothing.
Now, the only difficulty is how to keep Yi Zhixian from leaving Luding City......
……
In a valley five hundred miles away from Luding City, on dozens of sheep trays with a huge area, cattle and sheep were crowded one after another, and the number was huge.
In the valley, on the sunny slopes, several large tents were black, smoking from the outside, and the neighing of war horses was constantly heard.
Here, once a Xiongnu settlement, judging from the huge area of sheep plates, at least 100,000 cattle and sheep nested here.
For the Yizhi army that lost the battle and fled all the way north, it was the most comfortable thing to have such a warm and comfortable winter nest to survive the long and harsh winter.
But.
What awaits them is a war.
"The Bank of China said that there is really a big city in the Beihai area, which is full of cattle and sheep, and has a population of more than 100,000?"
In a huge tent, on a few fires, there is a big ding, in which mutton is boiling, the fog in the tent is steaming, mixed with the fishy smell of beef and mutton, there is a special warmth.
Yi Zhi sat in the middle, cutting and eating mutton with a knife, while carefully asking the Bank of China about some things about Luding City.
Wrapped in black robes, leaving only two cloudy and indifferent eyes, Zhongxing said softly: "In the past few years, I have not been idle, and I have cultivated many disciples, they are all over the Han Dynasty and the grassland, and now, they are all your Da Dan Yu's wealth." ”
Yi Zhi glanced at the Bank of China coldly and said: "Three months ago, you said that there was a way to deal with Wei Qing, but as a result, you were divided and surrounded by the six-way army of the people, and they were broken one by one. ”
Bank of China shook his head slightly: "Wei Qing's use of troops has always been unreasonable, and what he likes to do most is to put on a posture of all-out attack, but he led a main force to spy on you secretly and unexpectedly hit you by surprise."
All the old man's previous layouts were prepared for this.
Unexpectedly, this time, Wei Qing changed his tactics, the six-way army, the six-way army is the main force, the people's equipment is well-equipped, and the logistics supply is good, which made Da Danyu suffer a big loss.
But don't worry, this time it's ...... in the North Sea."
Before the Bank of China finished speaking, Yi Zhixian waved his hand a little impatiently, and said, "Bank of China, you only need to tell Ben Danyu the specific location of Luding City, as well as their population, food and number of women. ”
It seems that this Hun Da Dan Yu has little trust in the Bank of China's strategy to talk about this Han man.
In fact, this is not to blame the Bank of China.
If you want to blame, you can only blame Wei Qing for being too capable of fighting.
Originally, the difference in the combat power of one Han and five Hu gave the Han Dynasty army the upper hand, but who would have thought that the troops they were equipped with after careful planning and deduction were simply not enough to stuff their teeth.
There are eight battalions of the Northern Army of the Han Dynasty, each battalion, with only 5,000 men and horses.
According to the algorithm of Yi Zhixian and Zhongxing, if you want to resist these 5,000 men and horses, you must be equipped with at least 25,000 elite cavalry.
Moreover, they are indeed equipped in strict accordance with this ratio, and there is even some overflow, almost according to the combat power ratio of one man and six Hu.
However, these 5,000 people and horses are equipped with several strange equipment, such as Takahashi saddles, horseshoes, flower bones, crossbows, cowhide soft shields, plus other people's iron armor and leather armor, the combat power value has soared by more than two or three times!
In the face of a Han army of 1,000 people, even if the Huns have 5,000 troops to meet them, in the blink of an eye, they will be beaten to pieces, and they will be defeated at the first touch, and they will not be able to fight at all......
"Da Shan Yu, judging from the patterns sent back by the spies, the builders of this Luding City seem to be Han Chinese."
The Bank of China said that he took out a roll of sheepskin from his bosom and handed it up: "The city wall is extremely high, at least a dozen zhang, and the terrain selected is also extremely particular, backed by a mountain range, and the Selenge River runs through from top to bottom, easy to defend and difficult to attack......"
Yi Zhixian waved his hand again to interrupt the words of the Bank of China: "It's just a Luding City, how about it compared to Yanmen Pass?" ”
"The Bank of China said, you are a Han Chinese, and you look down on us grassland people in your bones."
"But this Shan Yu told you that in this world, only elite cavalry is the most reliable friend of those who can gallop the world, and those cities piled up with bricks, stones and wood are just some cowardly turtle shells."
"Your Han emperor has spent hundreds of years building so many Great Walls south of Yanshan, Yinshan, and Helan Mountain, is it useful?"
Bank of China shook his head silently and said, "Da Danyu, it is never a good thing to underestimate the enemy. ”
Yi Zhi tilted his head and looked at the Bank of China coldly, and said for a long time before he spoke: "Last time, you said that, so this is the case that I handed over all the soldiers and horses except the 60,000 main forces to you Bank of China, and let you go all out to fight Wei Qing."
But what was the result?
Before the war, although Ben Danyu lost the land of Hetao south of Yinshan, the entire Monan, Mobei, Hexi Corridor and the Western Regions were under the account of our royal court.
You see, after this battle, not only Monan and Mobei have lost most of them, but even the Hexi Corridor is gone! ”
Speaking of anger, Yi Zhi cut it with a knife, cut a large piece of fat meat and stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it vigorously, as if he had eaten Wei Qing and Huo Quzhi's two cowards alive.
The Bank of China sighed and said nothing.
In the first year of Yuanjiao, for the Huns, it was really unfavorable for the passing years.
After several major battles in the south and north of the desert, the royal court of Yizhi is gone, and the entire land of the south of the desert is now under the Han Dynasty.
The most outrageous thing is still the Hexi Corridor.
Huo Qu's disease!
Yang Chuan, Li Guang, Li Kang, Cao Xiang!
Except for Li Guang, the famous general who is good at playing defensive battles, the others are all half-sized and small children, but they have penetrated the Hexi Corridor in one go.
Moreover, the battle slaughtered the king and captured the evil king alive.
Especially the thief named Yang Chuan, who was particularly ruthless, not only occupied the entire Hexi Corridor, but also began to let those poor ghost herdsmen forcibly divide the cattle, sheep and livestock of the former tribal leaders and even women and children.
As for the high priest.
Well, in today's Hexi Corridor, although there are still many tribes of the Huns and Qiang people left, after Yang Chuan's order, all the high priests were wiped out.
Even his family members were slaughtered.
Without the high priest, those poor ghosts of the tribe, who still believes the words of your Xiongnu court? It can only be said that the little thief Yang Chuan knows how to cut roots too well.
After killing all the tribal leaders and high priests, and dividing the cattle, sheep, livestock, pasture, and wealth under their accounts, if the connection between the Xiongnu tribes and tribes is forcibly severed from the roots, so that the Huns who live by water and grass and graze for a living will become a plate of scattered sand, and they will not be able to collect it at all without decades of experience......
"By the way, the Bank of China, you sent someone to investigate the situation in the Hexi Corridor, how is it?"
Yi Zhixian asked suddenly.
The Bank of China groaned a few times, hoarsely voiced, and said indifferently: "Not optimistic." ”
Yi Zhi's gaze became even colder.
He slowly cut the mutton, and the anger in his eyes burned undisguisedly: "What does it mean not to be optimistic? ”
"King Youxian is my brother, he lost the Hexi Corridor, is he damned?"
"There are also two bastards, King Hutu and King Hun Evil, 120,000 elite cavalry, plus the strategy of their tribe for hundreds of years, they actually crippled a few half-sized children who had not dried up, and they were killed, and they deserved to die!"
"And you said in the middle of the bank, in the early years, you were really a master to me Yi Zhixian, and you gave me a random point, so that Ben Danyu won a lot of battles."
"But!"
Yi Zhixian cut off a piece of mutton with a little gaffe, and wanted to stuff it in his mouth to chew, but the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he actually smashed the piece of mutton into the Bank of China and said, "You deserve to die too!" ”
The piece of fat flew two or three feet in front of the Bank of China and stopped.
After pausing for about a tenth of a breath in the air, the Bank of China stretched out his hand, used two thin and long fingers, grabbed the fat piece of mutton, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly.
Under a black robe, I don't know what this Han eunuch in the Central Plains is thinking.
In short, an inexplicable momentum permeated, making Yi Zhixian slightly stunned.
Immediately, this Hun Da Dan laughed twice and said: "Bank of China, you are my teacher of Yi Zhixi, and you should forgive the students for their recklessness."
Say, this time the battle of Luding City, how should we fight? ”
After chewing the mutton slowly, the Bank of China said indifferently: "Send a team of men and horses, bring some cattle, sheep, livestock and human corpses, take a detour to the upper reaches of the Selenga River, throw it down, let the plague and disease flow downstream, and let Luding City be destroyed." ”
Yi Zhi was stunned.
This poisonous plan of the Bank of China had already been used once when he was fighting with the Wei Qing army.
However, contrary to expectations, it turned out that the army of Weiqing would not draw water from the rivers on the grassland at all, but tried every means to dig wells in the grassland desert on the spot.
This trick is useless at all.
"In summer and autumn, the weather is hot, and we have used this method in the grasslands of southern and northern deserts, but it is of no use."
Yi Zhi frowned tightly, and said hesitantly: "What's more, in the middle of winter, those cattle, sheep, livestock, horses and human corpses are thrown into the ice river, which has no effect at all......"
Bank of China said but smiled: "Da Danyu, this is the real poisonous plan." ”
"In the hot summer and the hot and humid autumn, when the Han army fights, it will definitely be cautious, and it is naturally very particular about food and daily life."
"However, in the winter, their vigilance must be gone."
"Therefore, leave those cattle, sheep, livestock and human carcasses in the upper reaches of Selenge, let them slowly ferment and change, and become the world's first-class plague, and in the spring season, you can quickly destroy Luding City."
Yi Zhixian pondered for a long time, nodded and agreed: "Okay, this is only to listen to your words again." ”
"However, there is a plague in the water of the Selenge River, and Luding City will be quickly destroyed, this is all a matter of spring, so, Bank of China said, when will we start attacking the city?"
The Bank of China said indifferently: "Tomorrow, the army will start and immediately attack the city......
