As for the Bank of China's 'desperate plan', in fact, two or three years ago, Yang Chuan repeatedly reminded Wei Qing, Huo Quai, and Cao Xiang, and even specially formulated a set of 'food hygiene and safety regulations' for the Han army.

Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were convinced of Yang Chuan's words.

Therefore, in the previous wars, whether it was the Battle of Mobei, the Battle of Monan or the Battle of the Hexi Corridor, the Huns' 'desperate plan' had appeared.

And then, and eggs.

It is useless, except for polluting too many rivers, lakes and seas, which has dealt a devastating blow to the already fragile grassland ecology.

One plague after another took the lives of many Huns.

Let one after another Xiongnu tribes, which were already struggling to make a living, gradually disappear in the long river of history, and have not been heard from since.

Of course, none of this matters.

After all, Yang Chuan, who was born as a cook and traveled north and south in the geological exploration team, has taken special care of the so-called 'food safety' from the very beginning, so there are some outdated 'poison schemes', and he himself has some immune factors.

This is the dimensionality reduction strike...... One of them.

In this battle of Luding City, what Yang Chuan prepared for Yi Zhixian and Bank of China was another dimensionality reduction attack-

Whether it is strategy and tactics, individual combat capabilities, or weapons and equipment, Yang Chuan does not plan to keep his hands.

On the grassland, there may be the shadow of the Han embroidered messenger.

However, there is a saying that Emperor Shangao is far away, since he has a heart that does not obey discipline, he actually has no intention of returning to Dahan.

He.

I don't want to look at the faces of Lao Liu's family anymore.

"Yizhixie's big camp, more than five hundred miles south of Luding City?"

After receiving this news, Yang Chuan thought about it carefully, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

Originally, if Yi Zhixian's whole army was pressed under Luding City, because its size was too large, and the troops in his hands were insufficient, it might allow some people to escape, thus becoming a hidden danger of instability.

Unexpectedly, that Yi Zhixian did not listen to the persuasion of Zhongxing, and insisted on leaving 30,000 people in the valley to nest in the valley, and only sent 30,000 people to besiege Luding City.

Among them, the most important thing is that he left most of the grain and grass in that winter nest pasture for emergencies.

After all, in the past two or three years, he has fought several vicious battles with Wei Qing and Huo Quzhi, which has made this invincible Hun Dadan Yu already timid.

If in a normal battle, or rather, a different opponent.

For example, a general like Li Guang, the Great Han Elk Marquis, with 30,000 main cavalry to besiege a city with all his might, while leaving the logistics supplies hundreds of miles away to hide, this style of fighting is not only no problem, but also almost equivalent to being invincible.

The city can't be attacked, and people can still get out of the battlefield and disappear without a trace.

It's a pity that the opponent I met this time was Yang Chuan......

……

"So, Yi Zhixian didn't press up with the whole army?"

In another valley a few hundred miles away, Yang Chuan was a little surprised after receiving the secret report.

According to his own judgment, this big battle should be launched under Luding City, unexpectedly, Yi Zhixian adopted a steady and steady method, which is undoubtedly a good opportunity for Yang Chuan.

"The opponent's main force of 60,000, plus the grain and grass baggage troops, is at least no less than 100,000, and our appetite is not so big."

"Unexpectedly, Yi Zhixian died by himself, and in such a cold climate, he divided his troops into two places?"

That's easy to do.

The defensive ability of Luding City, looking at the world, Yang Chuan has not yet found a second city that can be comparable, with only 20,000 or 30,000 horses, even the Han infantry army is not easy to break, not to mention the poor Hun cavalry.

He immediately sent a secret message to Ah Tie and Ah Mu, and asked the more than 5,000 people who were ambushed around Luding City to make a big circle on the snow field and join his 3,000 men and horses.

All of this was unaware of the ghosts, and although Yi Zhixian sent out many scouts and sentinels, he didn't find it at all.

Look, this is the people's war.

In Beihai, in Luding City, on this territory with a radius of 3,000 miles, it is Yang Chuan's 'self-reserved land', and the transfer of thousands of people and horses can easily be impermeable.

So, on a snowy morning, the weather was cold and the sun was clean.

A war that was not very exciting, broke out.

It was a one-sided massacre.

In the summer, when a flash flood breaks out, half of the entire valley is annihilated.

In winter, it is a natural winter nest, not only has a large number of winter pastures, but also because of its geographical location surrounded by mountains on three sides, one side facing the sun, it is very warm and comfortable.

Yang Chuan surveyed the terrain of the entire river valley in advance, and then, at one time, took out more than 600 'gunpowder bags' and buried them on the only passage in the back mountain.

As for the entrance to the river valley, it naturally became a frontal battlefield.

Yang Chuan ordered Amu to lead a thousand people to challenge immediately, only defeat, not victory, and mobilize a part of the Huns to come out and send them to death.

Sure enough, as soon as Amu and the others entered the river valley, several teams of 1,000 people rushed out.

"It seems that Yi Zhixian is not here."

On a mountain in the distance, Yang Chuan, who was observing with a telescope, immediately concluded that such a disorderly way of fighting should be commanded by a certain Hun prince who was guarding the camp.

"Lead them to the east and eat them in one bite."

Yang Chuan casually gave the order, and the flag commander on the side waved the big flag in his hand, and Amu, who was fighting and retreating, saw it as soon as he looked up.

I saw him exclaim, and a thousand soldiers and horses immediately 'collapsed', and even the water bladders, quivers, and flags were all lost, and they rushed to the east with shouts.

Behind them, the Huns hesitated slightly, but still chased after them.

These thousand-man teams are finished.

Yang Chuan ignored this, but ordered Ah Jiu to lead a team of 1,000 people to provoke, so the trick was repeated.

Thereupon.

One after another, Yang Chuan used a small number of troops to transfer Yi Zhixie's 10,000 horses out of the camp, into the 'pocket array' that had been buried in advance, and slowly cleaned up.

Next, it's time for the rough work.

After suffocating for the past few years, Yang Chuan had a flame in his chest, and it was not good to pour out, he felt that he was about to explode.

"Three thousand men, in line."

"Attack head-on."

Yang Chuan turned over his horse, pointed to the Hun camp in the river valley with a horsewhip, and shouted: "Don't let any of them go." ”

The three thousand Changning troops, everyone was excited, and roared loudly: "No! ”

On the vast snowfield, the three thousand people and horses looked a little insignificant, like a herd of cattle, sheep and livestock, which seemed inconspicuous.

Behind them, there was a strange troop of troops, pulling and pulling strange wooden shelves with yaks and war horses.

These wooden shelves, the Huns are actually not unfamiliar.

Stone-throwing machine only.

It's just that the structure is more simple and straightforward, and it doesn't look scary at all.

Therefore, in the Hun camp in the distance, only four or five thousand-strong teams were sent to meet them head-on.

Fighting against the Han army, they were scared and disabled, especially when they saw Wei Qing's banner, they were naturally shorter, and they were cowardly in momentum.

Now, in the face of the 'steppe people' who also wore sheepskin robes and carried bows and arrows, the Huns felt that they could do it again.

One by one, their faces were gloomy and terrifying, and they instigated the war horses under their crotches to stabilize them in a very harmonious rhythm, and slowly increased their speed.

One breath, two breaths.

Three, four, five, six, seven breaths.

After about twenty breaths, the Huns' war horses reached their peak state, like a gust of wind swept in, and behind them, a vast snow mist was raised, which was very terrifying.

Because the ground is covered with a thick layer of snow, the sound of horses' hooves is not crisp, and it is not as loud as usual.

But.

In terms of momentum, this silent cavalry charge is the most terrifying......

Seeing that the distance between the two sides was rapidly narrowing, and when they were about to enter the firing range, Yang Chuan waved the scimitar in his hand and ordered: "Shoot!" ”

The three thousand Changning troops, with the crossbow machines in their hands, shot the first wave of arrows at the sky slightly.

The crossbow machine clicked, and the arrows rained down.

In each crossbow machine, five powerful crossbow arrows were fired at the same time, like a gray rainstorm, and in the blink of an eye, a group of Huns in front of them were shot to the ground.

Among them, many war horses were also shot by crossbow arrows, screamed, fell to the ground, and threw out the Huns on their backs for five or six zhang, and saw that they had no combat effectiveness.

Buzz!

After seven or eight waves of arrows rained down, the Hun cavalry that charged head-on had already lost more than half of the battle, and the rest were at a loss.

Where did this detachment come from?

Don't talk about martial arts.

There were still 120 paces between them, so why could their bows and arrows come at them?

Of course, this was just a thought for them.

On the battlefield, when the horses of both sides are galloping, where is there time to think more?

However, as the two sides approached, about fifty paces, the Huns began to counterattack with bows and arrows, pouring waves of arrows on them.

Then, they were dumbfounded.

After those enemies who were running wildly were hit by arrows, it was as if nothing had happened? Just continue to rush over so carelessly?

Moreover, the Huns were horrified to find that these enemies on the opposite side were not only fine after being hit by arrows, but even the people's war horses seemed to be covered with a layer of leather armor, and their wolf tooth arrows could not be shot at all......

Within three or five breaths.

The two sides collided head-on.

The Huns were also regarded as real warriors of the steppe, and when they found that the bow and arrow were not good, they were not timid, so they drew their scimitars at their waists, roared angrily, and came up.

It's just that as soon as they met the enemy, they knew that they were thinking wrong again.

These stinky and shameless guys not only wore leather armor on their bodies, but also hid a layer of iron armor under the leather armor, although it was not the kind of fish scale armor of the Han army, but their own scimitars were useless at all.

It's the scimitar in someone's hand, but it's a great show of might.

With a single swing, a Hun cavalryman can be chopped off a horse.

Even if some of them used a scimitar to divide the gears, it would not help, the knives in the hands of these people were too sharp, and the other party's training was so well trained that the scimitars in the hands of the Huns broke with a single slash.

In this battle, there is no suspense at all.

Pure is bullying.

Among these Huns, some of them had fought against the Weiqing army, and the northern army was well-equipped, leaving them with terrible memories.

However, compared to these guys from unknown sources, the equipment of the Northern Army of the Han Dynasty seems to be not very good......

……

As soon as they looked at each other, the Huns were stunned.

Several thousand-strong teams were shot and killed, and when they charged head-on, more than half of them were killed, and the remaining more than 1,000 people rushed in the direction of the camp without looking back.

There is definitely something wrong with this army!

Seeing that the Huns were defeated and retreated, Yang Chuan gave an order to let the cavalry stop and rearrange the formation; At the same time, he gave orders to those 'long-range artillerymen' in the back:

"Against the camp of Yi Zhixi, fight!"

The distance of more than 300 steps has reached the limit for ordinary stone throwers, so even if the several kings and generals of Wanhu who stayed behind in the Hun camp saw it, they didn't care at all.

The stone throwing machine invented by the Han army was mostly used to siege cities, and in the face of such a huge camp tent, even if a boulder was thrown over, it seemed that it was not a big deal.

However.

When the first wave of the dozens of stone throwers was launched, the Huns were again stunned.

Those things that looked like stones, when they fell to the ground, there would be a loud 'boom', the fire was shining, and the tents, soldiers, war horses, weapons and food within a radius of twelve or thirteen zhang were directly annihilated by the firelight.

A huge explosion roared, the fire shone brightly, and the smoke billowed out, and the Huns' camp turned into a sea of fire in seven or eight breaths, as if the end of the world had come.

The 'shells' fired this time were naturally the 'gunpowder packs' that had been repeatedly tested and debugged by Yang Chuan, which not only contained about 50 catties of explosives, but were also equipped with the most primitive 'impact' ignition machine.

The shell of the explosive, which is made of nitrated sheepskin, is a hard iron shell, which is filled with a large amount of gravel and thistles, and once it explodes, it can blast a large crater about a foot in diameter on the frozen soil.

The killing of gravel, thistle terrestris and bullet casings is actually secondary.

The main thing is the blazing air wave formed at the moment of the explosion, and in an instant, it can burn up the surrounding air for more than ten zhang, forming a terrifying tearing force.

This primitive 'artillery' is almost a bit of a howitzer in later generations.

This.

is another hole card of Yang Chuan.

Dozens of stone throwers with simple designs, after adjusting the direction, there were several more volleys, and the Huns' camp was completely chaotic.

Among them, a few 'cannonballs' hit the opponent's stables, killing several large numbers of horses, and causing those cattle to blow up the camp, causing chaos one after another.

Seven or eight groups of crazy war horses ran wildly in the camp, and I don't know how many Hun warriors trampled to death.

All in all.

There is no suspense in this battle, and there is nothing exciting to watch.

The only thing that made Yang Chuan slightly excited was when those Huns found that the frontal enemy was too terrifying, not only was their combat power fierce, but they also controlled the power of heaven and earth, and they could kill them with wind and clouds, thunder and lightning......

Those guys really ran away along a passage in the back mountain.

Next, there was a faint dull loud noise, and naturally those people entered a dead end, and they were slowly cleaned up by Ah Jiu and Ah Tu.

This not very exciting battle lasted just over two hours, and everything was over.

Sitting on horseback, he entered Yizhixian's camp in a good time, looking at the mess and corpses everywhere, Yang Chuan's face did not change.

If the dimensionality reduction strike can't be so clean, then what else is it called?

Using crossbows and howitzers to deal with a group of Huns gathered together, if he can't win, then he can really return to Chang'an City to be his farmer and cook......

"Clean up the battlefield."

"Take away all the grain, drive away the remaining horses, cattle and sheep, and burn all the tents."

Ah Jiu, Ah Mu and a few other half-grown sons were already able to take charge on their own, which made Yang Chuan very pleased, he casually passed the order, then turned the horse's head and went away.

Under Luding City, there are still 30,000 main forces of Yi Zhixian......
