Chapter 708: The Battle of Mobei (Part II)

"King Zuoxian, haven't you learned the art of war?"

On the hillside, putting down the telescope in his hand, Li Yunze stretched out his hand with a little confusion and pointed to the Huns who were arrayed at the edge of the Hanhai Sea and were ready to meet the Han army, "Don't you understand that people who are thirsty and unbearable will work hard to drink water?" ”

Su Wu, who was agitated, responded in a low voice, "Maybe I feel that our army is physically and mentally exhausted, and he is hungry and thirsty, so he takes advantage of his weakness to fight a wave." ”

"That being said, a better option would be to fight when the whole army is relaxed and desperately fighting for water."

Li Yunze shook his head again and again: "If you want to take advantage of a big advantage, you will suffer." ”

Looking at the restless Su Wu, Li Yunze smiled and waved his hand, "If you want to go, go and obey General Huo's orders." ”

Su Wu and the other officials were overjoyed, and after saluting, they hurriedly rode their horses and ran to the front of the military array.

The Han Dynasty respects military merits, and with military merits, you can have everything.

Ahead is the battlefield where military merits are obtained, and these Lang officials are naturally unable to resist the irresistible temptation.

At this time, the men of the Han Dynasty are completely the kind of warriors who are happy when they hear the battle.

Seeing that his colleagues were riding horses to join the battlefield, Sima Xiangru, who was already looking old, subconsciously took two steps forward on the horse, but then came back.

Seeing this, Li Yunze smiled and asked, "What's the matter, I'm not interested in military exploits?" ”

Sima Xiangru glanced at Li Yunze with resentment, and lowered his head, "Of course I want to win military merits, but."

But the Son of Heaven didn't give him a chance, and every time he applied to join the army or go to the border, he was rejected by the Son of Heaven.

After 20 years, he roughly understood that the Son of Heaven just didn't want him to make meritorious contributions and be an edict writer for the rest of his life.

He really wanted to break his head all these years, and he couldn't figure out where he had offended the Son of Heaven.

Always respectful, never transgressive.

Is it because his talent is too high, so that the Son of Heaven is dissatisfied?

Alas, if I knew this, I would have just gone to a vassal country to find a doctor.

When Sima Xiangru felt sorry for himself, Li Yunze said lightly, "It's about to start, and if you don't go, you don't have to go." ”

Hearing this, Sima Xiangru Huo Ran raised his head and looked at the Son of Heaven in disbelief.

After a while, he saluted excitedly, and galloped his horse to chase the army in front of him.

Li Yunze added later: "Military merit is a good thing, but the premise is that you have a life to earn." ”

The soldiers are ten thousand, boundless and boundless.

Even if Li Yunze personally commanded it, in this situation where there are no modern communication facilities, they can only fight each other.

On the border between the Hanhai Sea and the grassland, the two sides are fighting each other, both bent on each other's lives.

Compared with Huo Quai's previous expedition to Hexi, this time the Han army went to Mobei, and there were changes in tactics.

After years of investment in the smelting industry, it has finally solved the low-profile version of spring steel.

Although the quality is not worth mentioning, at least it can be used on repeaters.

Three crossbow bolts in one box, three can be fired in one shot.

With spring steel, both the rate of fire and the power have been improved like never before.

Naturally, the Han cavalry was equipped with this kind of repeater crossbow on a large scale, and then they started a cavalry attack under the stunned gaze of the Huns.

God is pitiful, the signature tactic of the Huns is to attack and harass with cavalry, but now the Han army actually uses it even better than them!

The Han cavalry of the brigade galloped across the land, and the crossbows in their hands were thrown out in pieces with the calls of officers at all levels.

The range is extremely long, one or two hundred steps is no problem, and it can easily penetrate leather armor.

The Huns often heard the dense sound of 'Peng', followed by a large number of short and powerful crossbow arrows, which fell like dark clouds.

Where it was covered, crossbow arrows grew like long grass.

The cavalry bows used by the Huns were far apart in terms of range, so they could only get close to the past, and several rounds of crossbows came down on the road, and the losses were extremely heavy.

But when they got closer, the Han army would quickly pull away from them with their horses, and then continue to attack.

The warriors of the Huns, watching the renewal in their hands, finally upgraded from wolf tooth arrows to iron arrows, were full of grief and indignation.

The advantages that were once proud are now all Han family.

They can't figure out why, they can't figure it out because they lack knowledge.

They don't understand what national strength is and what scientific and technological progress is.

After all, after all, they are just a group of nomadic tribes, and they can be prosperous for a while by slaughtering and plundering, which is essentially no different from armed bandit groups.

Once you encounter a truly powerful opponent, it is devastating.

King Zuo Xian and the kings of the left of the Xiongnu were also dumbfounded.

They were full of confidence.

Because the Han army must be exhausted when crossing the Hanhai, and the Huns have accumulated it for many years, and the equipment has also been updated.

They finally abandoned the wolf's tooth arrows, which were sharpened and sharpened with wolf teeth, and replaced them with iron arrows.

And it also has thousands of sets of iron armor, which are extremely rare in the grassland!

These are the confidence of their decisive battle with the Han army, but at this moment, it seems so ridiculous.

When the cavalry of the Han army galloped back and forth, covered it with crossbows when it was far away, and rushed over directly with its cavalry spears when it was close, and directly rushed through the military formation, the Huns were stunned to realize that the Han army had formed an overwhelming advantage over themselves!

Riding a war horse with excellent endurance and speed, the horse is also equipped with horse armor, and is not afraid of the sharp arrows of the Huns.

The knights of the Han army wore silk soft armor inside, and on the outside, there was a full set of iron armor from helmets to iron shins, and even their faces were covered by ghosts.

In terms of weapons and equipment, there are long-range, powerful, and fast-loading repeaters.

The distance is staggeringly long, and the Huns can only look at it in despair when hedged, and there are all kinds of melee weapons to assist.

There is no doubt that the Han army has an overwhelming superiority in terms of equipment and tactics, from will to command.

As time went by, Li Yunze, who was watching the battle, even simply dismounted and sat down on Maza.

His mentality was relaxed because the Han army had already occupied an absolute advantage.

He couldn't see those who ran too far on the edge of the battlefield, but everywhere he could see, the Han army was constantly interspersed with impacts, crushing the Huns one by one, and then pursuing and destroying them.

"Won."

Li Yunze, who was sitting on the Maza, was unusually calm in his heart, "Huns, it's over." ”

After 20 years of preparation, he has brought a lot of advanced technology to Dahan, and what he is pursuing is just this moment.

The Huns, who once regarded the Han as a lamb, were constantly invading all the time, snatching everything that could be snatched and all the living people were snatched, and finally entered the countdown stage.

Li Yunze's gaze crossed the tragic battlefield that was fighting frantically and looked to the far west.

"Wei Qing, work hard, destroy them in one battle!"

Thousands of miles away on the edge of the Hanhai Sea, Wei Qing's department was also fighting a decisive battle with the main force of Yi Zhixie's royal court.

Compared with the cavalry on Huo Quai's side, Wei Qing is a standard tactic here.

A large number of heavily armored infantry soldiers stepped forward in formation, the cavalry was arranged on both flanks to respond, and the rear was a huge formation of box carts gathered to protect logistics materials and people.

Yi Zhi had a terrible headache, looking at the Han army in the distance like steel monsters, he really didn't want to fight.

Originally, I thought that the infantry of the Han army was still based on leather armor or extremely simple iron armor like many years ago, and they could be easily tossed by the light cavalry.

Unexpectedly, the infantry of the Han army has been fully updated with the all-covering iron armor!

The Huns' cavalry archery has the root attack power of the sharp arrows fired by the cavalry bow.

If sharp arrows don't do harm, then the so-called mounted attack will become a joke.

The Han army marched forward in formation, and you went to attack and shoot a rain of arrows in the sky, but unfortunately it had no effect.

The Han army still marched forward in formation, and at this time there was no choice but to directly ride their horses and rush up to break the formation.

But the Han army is fully armed, armed with spears in array, how many warriors can disregard life and death to meet the rows of spears to collide.

Yi Zhixie, who is illiterate, doesn't know what it means to be crushed at the level of national strength, but he understands that this cannot be won.

It stands to reason that if you can't win, you should run away.

But as long as you look at the tens of thousands of cavalry on both flanks of the Han army's large array, you can know that the cavalry power that the Huns have always been proud of has also lost its role in front of the Han army.

As long as the escape mode is turned on, tens of thousands of cavalry will chase and kill along the road, and those who are not clear will have to lose eight or nine times out of ten!

I don't have a choice, I really don't have a choice.

The Huns could only rush into battle.

When the Huns who attacked the army formation were riding their horses in front of the formation, preparing to release arrows, there were dark clouds in the Han army on the opposite side.

The crossbows were naturally equipped with foot soldiers, and the powerful crossbows flew over, and the Huns fell to the ground in pieces like harvesting wheat.

Wei Qing has never been a defensive general, he is an offensive one.

When the Huns started attacking, he immediately ordered the Han cavalry on both wings to attack quickly, and directly outflanked the two wings, trying to eat the main force of the Huns.

Yi Zhixian's side naturally assigned manpower to resist.

can be the same as Huo Quai's side, the Hun cavalry, which once had the advantage, melted like spring and snow when they encountered the Han cavalry, and they were defeated and defeated.

Yi Zhi sighed, he couldn't understand why the Han army was so strong.

Knowing this, he didn't rob the military ministers of Shan Yu's position back then.

Seeing the iron cavalry on the left and right wings of the Han army sweeping over, Yi Zhixian could only retreat and run away with people in a hurry.

As for how many people can run away, it can only depend on the will of God.

Wei Qing and Huo Qubing sent troops to Mobei in two ways, and they were extremely strong and defeated the enemy in front of them.

The number of Huns captured by the battle was hundreds of thousands, kings, generals, ministers, and households.

Theoretically, the Battle of Mobei had wiped out the main force of the Huns.

And the Huns, who lost most of their young and strong population, can basically be said to have perished.

And yet the war continues.

Wei Qing went straight to the Shan Yu Wang Court under Xingai Mountain, and Huo Qubing chased and killed King Zuo Xian all the way to Wolf Juxu Mountain!
