Chapter 577: Victory Came So Unexpectedly
The sun is like fire, and the warm light shines on the earth.
The harvested fields, the meandering river, the pastures full of pastures, and the undulating hills, interspersed with patches of sparse or densely planted woods.
The fertile soil of the Northland is not the almost unchanging desolation in my impression.
On the Yunzhong Plain between Daqing Mountain and Manhan Mountain, because of the irrigation impact of the Yunzhong River in the north and south, the terrain on this plain that is not too large is diverse and rich.
Although before the Huns entered the city, the local people had already rushed to collect the grain and concentrated it in the city.
However, the degree of development here is not high, and there is dense grassland and quantity outside the farmland.
Especially on both sides of the river, the water and grass are abundant, and it is the favorite environment of the nomadic tribe.
The old camp of the Great Poor Department was set up in a Han village near the riverbank.
The village is very large, there are hundreds of households, and this can be called a town.
The Han people in the village had already fled into the city, protecting themselves with the thick walls.
The few who didn't have time to run away were all killed or captured by the Huns and cleaned up.
This place is very well chosen, the terrain is slightly higher than the surroundings, not far away is the Beiyunzhong River, and there is a forest on the other side of the mountain. It is very convenient to take water or wood.
The Dazhuo tribe is a vassal of the Aries tribe, and this time they followed the Aries tribe into the Kouhan land, and looted villages and towns along the way to get a lot of good things.
At this time, the head of the tribe was admiring the loot in the best house in the village.
There was a lot of loot, from money and cloth to iron and farm tools, from pots and pans to needles and threads, basically everything.
Every time you enter the land of Kouhan, it is a carnival feast for the Xiongnu tribe, as long as it is not the head iron to attack the city.
The main force of the Aries Department besieged the city of Chengle more than 200 miles away.
The siege was not to besiege the city, but to trap the Han army inside and prevent them from coming out to attack the tribes.
Although he knew that if he breached the city, the good things captured would be several times or even dozens of times that of the outside.
But they have suffered losses, and no one is really willing to attack the city.
The vassals of the Aries tribe are looting and collecting supplies in all directions.
When these things return to the grassland, most of them have to be handed over to the Aries Ministry.
No way, a vassal is a vassal.
Clumsy's favorite trophy was wine.
The wine brewed by the Han'er is really a good thing, and the head is dizzy when the jar goes down, and the whole person is fluttering and comfortable.
On this day, he was drinking beautifully, but a tribal warrior rushed in and shouted at him, "Something happened, a Han rider is coming at us!" ”
Just such a sentence made the clumsy head, which was originally a little dizzy, sober up in an instant.
While sober, cold sweat also fell.
Han cavalry!
At this time, the Han army's combat mode was still mainly based on foot soldiers, and cavalry was a combat force that belonged to foot soldiers, mainly used for reconnaissance and harassment.
The large-scale centralized use of cavalry warfare will have to wait until after Wei Qinghuo's rise to illness.
At least in this era, the appearance of the Han cavalry meant that a large number of Han troops were about to arrive.
The clumsy man who got up suddenly, eagerly like an ant on a hot pot, circled around the room, "I said a long time ago, I should go back when I robbed it, but I just didn't listen, I just didn't listen!" ”
He eagerly asked the warriors, "How many are coming?" ”
"I'm afraid there are no less than a thousand people!"
"What?!" His clumsy legs were weak and he almost collapsed on the ground.
Having dealt with the Han army all year round, he also roughly understands the establishment of the Han army.
The ratio of cavalry to foot soldiers of the Han army was basically maintained at a level of one to ten.
In other words, there are tens of thousands of Han troops rushing towards them?!
In the field wave battle, the Huns used the way of attack and harassment, and the probability of winning was greater.
But now that everyone has touched the gate of the old camp, where is there any place for you to attack.
As for the face-to-face confrontation. The men, women, and children of the Great Clumsy Department are all combined, and there are only 10,000 people, and it is estimated that there are no more soldiers and horses than others.
"Let all the warriors who have gone out come back! Ask for help from the Aries Ministry!! ”
The clumsy scream of the clumsy of Lis, but immediately stopped the warrior who was about to go out, "It's too late!" The warriors were beating grass valleys everywhere, and the Aries were more than two hundred miles away, and it was too late. Walk! All those who can walk are gone, and they are on horseback and take everyone to find the Aries
Ministry go! ”
Li Yunze, who was draped all over his body, rode forward with a strong bow in his hand.
His eyes looked at the Hun camp several miles away, ready for battle.
According to his experience, the old camp of the Huns on the opposite side was not large, and the entire tribe supported the death of 10,000 people.
That is, at most three or four thousand men can be drawn to fight.
This is the number from fifteen to sixty, all mounted with bows.
And the real young and strong must be outside to fight the grass valley, so this defeat rate is very large.
In the village several miles away, a large number of cavalry suddenly rushed out, and the number of them made Li Yunze doubt his experience and judgment.
He took a deep breath and was about to order his men to dismount and line up.
But he was stunned to see that the Hun cavalry, who did not hesitate to rush out with horsepower, did not know how to run to the west.
Li Yunze's soldiers and horses came from the south.
And his eyesight was very good, and he could already see not only men riding horses, but even women with children in their arms, and even old men.
Many people carried cloth and silk on their backs, hung all kinds of things, and ran desperately to the west without the slightest intention of rushing over.
This scene of divine operation made Li Yunze also a little stunned.
Fortunately, he quickly figured it out and burst out laughing.
Zhao Yan, who had finally progressed, stepped forward at a very timely time and said, "Why is the king laughing?" ”
"I'm laughing at that pig brother cough cough, this king is laughing at these Huns are so cowardly! Seeing that the king was coming with a large army, he didn't even dare to fight, and they all ran away! ”
"Hahaha~~~"
When the news broke, the whole army was naturally thunderous with joy.
Although it is said that Clumsy is caught in habitual thinking, he is scared away by the tens of thousands of troops in his imagination. After all, the large-scale solo attack of the Han cavalry has basically not happened.
But if you are scared away, you are scared away, there is no doubt about that.
The so-called cavalry brought by Li Yunze was only trained in horseback riding for several months.
The only thing they learned was to be able to ride horses, and as for cavalry combat, they couldn't do it at all.
But after all, they were regular soldiers of the Han army, and they all came on horseback, and the clumsy man who drank lost his judgment, and chose to flee without even carefully observing the enemy's situation, which was his own bad luck, and he couldn't complain about Li Yunze.
Li Yunze, who had an unexpected gain, immediately waved his hand forward, "Rush in!" ”
The morale-boosting sergeants of Zhongshan broke into the camp of the Huns in high spirits, not only seized a lot of supplies, captured thousands of old and weak people who did not have time to run away, and even the cattle, sheep and horses that were grazing on the riverside not far away.
"Wu Gang!"
Li Yunze summoned the lieutenant of Zhongshan and immediately instructed "arrange a group of crossbowmen to ambush, and then find someone to pretend to be a Hun to graze outside." ”
Wu Gang was puzzled, what did this mean?
Li Yunze also had a rare patience to explain: "This tribe must have a large number of people outside to fight the grass valley, and it is too late to be notified, and when they are in waves, they will all be wiped out." This kind of good opportunity is rare and must be grasped. ”
"喏~~~"
The judgment made through his rich experience was not wrong, and in the next two days, many warriors who went out to fight the grass valley returned one after another.
There was no accident, these warriors, who numbered as few as dozens or as many as two or three hundred, were quickly eaten in one bite.
The reason is also very simple, on the one hand, the organizational ability of the Huns is actually very poor, especially the vassal tribes are completely not as rigorous as the regular army.
On the other hand, because Clumsy escaped in too much hurry, he didn't notify the people who went out at all.
The last and most important reason is that the warriors of these vassal tribes have never thought that their hometown has been stolen bloodlessly!
In two days, more than 1,000 unsuspecting warriors were eliminated one after another, but their own losses were negligible.
Without defense, waves of crossbow arrows were fired, and a large number of Han soldiers who had already equipped their halberd rings as spears or rifles surrounded them and stabbed them indiscriminately, almost without even having a chance to fight back.
While eliminating these warriors who fought in the Grass Valley, the loot they brought back naturally fell into the hands of the Han army.
Among them, there were many Han people who were taken captive, and there was even a Han sergeant.
"You are all military dignitaries, Wu Gao's sergeants?"
In the innermost and largest courtyard, Li Yunze was asking the captured Han army sergeant, "Why was you arrested?" ”
The sergeant who escaped already knew that the person in front of him was actually the king of Zhongshan Kingdom.
Although he wondered why the king of Zhongshan Kingdom appeared here, he still answered the question respectfully, "King, I was ordered to send messages to Chengle and Wujin." ”
"What's it?"
In the face of the inquiry, the sergeant hesitated slightly, but still said, "Wu Gao Han Duwei, Wu wants Chen Duwei to join forces with 4,000 troops to rescue Chengle and meet with Wujin Zhao Duwei." ”
The so-called Chengle is Chengle County, which is the county seat of Dingxiang County.
Dingxiang County is actually the original Yunzhong County divided into two and divided.
Its location is roughly more than 200 miles away from the southeast of this place, backed by the western foot of the Manhan Mountain, and the south side of the mountain is the Nanyunzhong River.
This place is not unusual, what really interests Li Yunze is that the Dingxiang County Guard stationed in Chengle City is the 'undefeated general' Cheng Buzhi, who is known as 'invincible everywhere'.
Before the rise of Wei Huo, the most famous general of the Han Dynasty was Zhou Yafu, who was Dou Ying.
And here in the Great Wall Army, the most famous generals are Li Guang, Wei Shang and Cheng Buzhi.
As for Feng Tang, he offended Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, and was kicked to the State of Chu to be the state minister, and then he was soon dismissed from his post and went home.
Needless to say, Li Guang is the famous Fei general, who is now the Taishou of Shangjun, and is in charge of the defense line in the north of Jingzhao Pass.
As for Wei Shang, he was the county guard in the clouds, and when he guarded the clouds, the Huns were afraid and did not dare to approach Koubian.
It's a pity that Wei Shang had passed away a few years ago, otherwise the Huns would not have dared to cross the clouds and go deep into Dingxiang County this time.
Then there is Cheng Buzhi.
This person is not well-known in the history books, but he is known as undefeated and is an important general of the Great Wall Corps.
Li Yunze thought for a moment and asked the sergeant, "Wu Gaowu wants soldiers and horses, is it blocked halfway and difficult to march?" ”
The sergeant was surprised and hurriedly responded, "That's right." ”
Raising his hand and rubbing his chin, Li Yunze noticed the fighter!
