Chapter 580: The Battle of Wujin (Part I)
Outside the county seat of Chengle, the camp of the Aries tribe.
"Big Boss." A tribal warrior stepped forward with a head in his hand, "The clumsy part of the big clumsy department has been cut down." ”
Subulus, leaning on the satin backrest, snorted, "Clumsy is a piece of shit, damn it. ”
With a wave of his hand, he asked the warrior to take the clumsy head out, and his eyes looked around at all the lieutenants, Qianchang, and said to them, "Which warrior can stop that Han army?" ”
The so-called Han army is naturally the thousands of soldiers and horses led by Li Yunze.
They relied on vans all the way to defeat several waves of Hun cavalry who came to intercept them, and they had already reached Wujin City to relieve the siege of Wujin.
Wujin is only more than eighty miles away from Chengle County, and it is basically a sharp dagger on the back of the Aries Ministry.
The nobles in the tent all looked embarrassed.
It's not that they haven't fought in the past two days, but the result is a fiasco.
The Han army was very strange, using a cart with a single wooden plank as a barrier, and the cavalry's bows and arrows were useless.
Once the distance is too close, it will immediately rain arrows and shoot down a large number of people.
Several vassal tribes, and even the warriors of the Aries tribe have tried it, and the most tragic result is a clumsy stab, and even their own heads are gone.
The Huns were nomadic tribes and paid attention to interests.
Faced with the bitter battle of not being able to win, no one wants to do it.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Subulu did not look good, "What, are they all dumb?" Our warriors of the Great Huns, even if they don't dare to attack the city, don't they even dare to fight in the field now? ”
There is a can't help but say, "It's better to besiege with all your strength."
Before he finished speaking, Su Bulu had already smashed the golden cup in his hand, "You are a dead man as the Han army in Lecheng!" ”
The Huns' invasion was premeditated and acted very quickly.
As a result, most of the border troops of the Great Wall Corps of the Han Army did not have time to complete the assembly.
When Subulu led the main force of the tribe to besiege Chengle, it was only in time to gather thousands of Han troops in the city.
This is almost the limit of what the Aries can besiege.
If there are more Han troops in the city, they will inevitably go out of the city to fight, and the Aries Department may not be able to win against others.
If all the fallen soldiers and horses really drove over to deal with Li Yunze's troops, the Han army in the city was not a dead man, and they would inevitably send troops to follow, and they would be attacked from front to back when the time came
What an idiot!
Subulu's life is not good, and he lives in this era when the Han army is tenacious and daring to fight.
If he was at the end of the Ming Dynasty, he would be able to laugh to death. Because the Ming army at the end of the Ming Dynasty defended the city, they were all like Yuan Chonghuan to defend the city, and they didn't leave the city even if they were killed, so they let the enemy plunder the four fields and go away, and then reported that they had won the battle and drove away the enemy army.
It only takes hundreds or even dozens of people to watch the tens of thousands of defenders in a city, and it is so ridiculous that the literati in the late Ming Dynasty commanded the war.
What kind of war are you afraid of death!
In fact, Subulu is also scratching his head.
The Chengle County in front of him must not be left behind, although Cheng Buzhi is steady, he is absolutely unambiguous when it is time to send troops.
The Han army behind was pressing step by step, although the number was not large, but it was very uncomfortable to hit the waist.
If you can't divide your troops, you will be flanked from front and back, scratching your head.
As for the reinforcements, the most recent reinforcements are the tribes directly under Da Danyu who are besieging Yunzhong County.
Let's not say that it is embarrassing to go to Da Danyu to ask for reinforcements, let's just say that the Han army came suddenly and marched quickly, and it was impossible for the reinforcements to come so quickly.
After a moment, Subulu stood up suddenly, "Da Shan Yu is watching us in Yunzhong County!" We can't retreat, so let's have a good fight! ”
As soon as these words came out, the people with different images below were also relieved.
The most fearful thing about fighting a war is hesitation.
If you are really stabbed in the back by the reinforcements of the Han army, it will be a dead death.
"Shocking, don't, scorn, husband." Su Bulu named the names of several vassal tribes: "You and others continue to besiege Chengle County, and many banners are erected, and horses are cruising to do our department." The rest of the troops, come with me to fight Han'er reinforcements before dawn tomorrow! ”
The Xiongnu Shan Yu's order to Su Bulu was to control the Han army in Dingxiang County and provide flank protection for Shan Yu's main force to lay down the hard bones of Yunzhong County.
Before Wei Shang died, Yunzhong County, which faced the headquarters of the Xiongnu Dadan, had resisted the Xiongnu for many years and had not fallen, and the Huns had lost face when they lost their troops.
Da Shan Yu's plan was very simple, to take advantage of Wei Shang's death to break Yunzhong County to relieve the anger in his heart.
The location of Dingxiang County, which was originally separated from Yunzhong County, was very important, and it was on the flank of Yunzhong County, once the Han army sent troops to help from this side, it would lead to the failure of Da Danyu's plan.
So Subulu had no choice, he had to fight this battle, not run away.
It was impossible to attack Chengle City, because he knew that he couldn't fight it, so he could only go to fight the reinforcements of the Han army.
The Huns also fought old battles, and they all understood the strategies and tactics they should know, not a rabble.
It's just that tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are mobilized in a short period of time, and even if the action is secretive, it is impossible to completely conceal it.
After dawn on the second day, Chengle's defenders noticed something unusual and quickly reported to Cheng Buzhi.
If Li Guang was here, he would have ordered all his troops and horses to go out of the city for a field battle.
But Cheng Buzhi was very steady, and after observing for a long time, he ordered to send some sergeants out of the city to test everywhere.
Before thoroughly testing whether the Huns were in ambush, they would definitely not send troops on a large scale.
Dozens of miles away, Li Yunze, who had already joined Wujin Zhao Guangduwei, was experiencing a trouble.
The reason is very simple, they successfully arrived at the meeting point before the agreed military period, and Hanbok and Chen Xin took back the military power of their respective departments.
It's not that they don't trust Li Yunze's ability, in fact, they all admire Li Yunze very much for inventing the van array, breaking the many interceptions of the Huns, and beheading more than 1,000 people to successfully reach the destination.
But there was no way before, and I needed to fight.
Now that there is no danger of losing the deadline, it is naturally impossible to hand over the military power to Li Yunze, and they are actually very afraid.
The king of Zhongshan has no name and no place here in Dingxiang County, and following him again is almost tantamount to rebellion.
If he is the king of Dingxiang, then he doesn't say, let him do anything, but he is not.
Then they wanted Li Yunze to take the soldiers and horses of Zhongshan Kingdom to rescue Chengle County, after all, one more person is one more strength, and Li Yunze has more than a thousand elites under his command.
This kind of thing of throwing it away when it is used up and wanting to use Li Yunze is really not exquisite.
Li Yunze's attitude towards this is very simple: 'It's okay not to let this king command, but you can send troops to rescue Chengle, who should command it?' ’
The Han army was brave, especially the border army.
And at this time, he can still rely on military merits to get ahead, and his will to fight is really different from the beggar army at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
The three captains all want to be commanders, and if they win, they will inevitably be promoted and rich.
Just when they were arguing fiercely, showing military merits, talking about qualifications, and boasting about meritorious deeds to subdue the other two, there were Tanma to report, the Hun brigade attacked, and countless soldiers and horses were all over the mountains.
Now they didn't argue, and they all looked at Li Yunze, who was sitting on the top and drinking.
The status of the three captains is almost the same, and no one is convinced.
At this time, their thoughts were also surprisingly unanimous: 'If I can't be the boss, I will never let you be, let alone be a stepping stone for you to be promoted and make a fortune.' ’
If you don't have a choice, you can only choose the king of the mountain.
After all, he is a prince and a king.
And he also proved himself in the previous battles, and his identity is very suitable.
If you win the big war, then everything is easy to say.
When the three of them saluted Li Yunze and expressed their willingness to act respectfully, Li Yunze finally put down the wine glass that he had been playing with for a long time and seemed to fall to the ground at any time, "Then order the troops." ”
After the three of them saluted, they left to straighten out the soldiers and horses, and Wu Gang, the lieutenant of Zhongshan Kingdom, quietly walked in, "Great King."
"The people who were in ambush outside have withdrawn and are ready to send troops."
Li Yunze selected a battlefield, located about thirty miles in the direction of Wujin to Chengle.
On one side of the battlefield is a stream that flows down from the Barbarian Mountains, and the current is shallow enough to wade.
On the other side is a dense forest at the foot of the mountain near the Barbarian Mountain, and the undulating terrain can effectively prevent the rapid maneuver of the cavalry.
When the Han army drove to this side, the distant probe horses had already returned, and there were many Hun cavalry behind them.
Purely from the perspective of cavalry, the Han army is indeed inferior to the grassland herdsmen who grew up on horseback since childhood.
The few cavalry on the Han side stepped forward to meet and brought back the scout sentry cavalry of the distant sentinels.
The scouts in the Cold Weapon Age can almost be regarded as the most elite sergeants.
They either acted alone or in groups of several people, roaming between the mountains, forests and ravines to find out the enemy's intelligence, and fought with the enemy scouts.
Many scouts never returned, disappearing silently into the mountains, rivers and trees.
Scouts are not something that anyone can do, in addition to being elite enough, they also need to have very professional knowledge, and be able to judge the number of enemy troops, the number of horses, baggage and other information through professional knowledge.
"The King."
A scout was led to Li Yunze and reported, "More than 20 miles away is the Huns' brigade, looking at the banner is the Aries tribe, the soldiers and horses are estimated to be about 30,000, and the horses are half of each horse." ”
"Reward."
Li Yunze announced the reward, and then looked at a small hillside seven or eight miles away.
The army of the Aries tribe, just behind the hillside.
The Xiongnu were a large empire of many tribes.
Most of these tribes were cavalry, but not absolutely.
For example, the Aries tribe itself is not a pure Huns, but mainly Qiang people.
The Qiang people are close to the Han family in blood, and can basically be regarded as nomadic or Huhua Han people.
They still maintain the tradition of farming, and belong to the type of half-farming and half-herding, which is why their soldiers and horses are half on foot.
Looking up at the sky, Li Yunze immediately issued an important order.
Bury the pot to cook.
Keeping the sergeants well fed before the battle is an important task to maintain morale and combat effectiveness.
The accompanying masters moved quickly, lit firewood and cooked beef and mutton directly.
In order to satisfy the food of the army, Li Yunze even ordered the slaughter of some cattle pulling carts, just to make sure that the sergeants could eat meat.
If you have meat in your stomach, you will have strength when you fight.
In addition to the more than 1,000 men and horses brought by Li Yunze, the three captains brought a total of more than 5,700 regular soldiers, plus more than 3,000 masters, and the total number was already more than 10,000.
The sergeants were very interested in eating and drinking, and the aroma was overflowing inside and outside the military formation.
After eating and drinking, the Huns' rangers also appeared on the slopes of the distant hills.
It was only a moment's effort, and a large number of Huns came from behind the hillside like a tide!
