Chapter 760
Success always belongs to those who are prepared, while failure favors the unprepared. As soon as the Han army attacked, nearly 100,000 Hun troops, who were caught off guard, were beaten in a blink of an eye.
The last time they brought lucky gold, they couldn't beat Huo Quai, let alone this time. So all the tribes fled in defeat, and scattered like birds and beasts. This was originally a loose alliance of improvised patchwork, and it naturally collapsed in the event of an unfavorable situation.
Huo Quai, he took 10,000 elite cavalry soldiers, roared down from the plateau, and stepped through Qilian Mountain with a whip, like a sandstorm, enveloping everything and plundering.
After the passion, the clouds dispersed, the moon turned red, and everyone was stunned when the results were counted.
In this battle, the Han army beheaded a total of 30,200 captives, captured five Xiongnu kings, as well as their mothers, Yan clans, and princes, a total of 59 people, and captured 63 high-ranking officials such as their ministers, generals, danghu, and governors.
Huo Quai's victory in the battle of Hexi was a miracle of the world. Cut off the right arm of the Xiongnu, Zhang Zhonghua's left hand, and raise the martial might of the Han family.
Therefore, the place of great victory was later named "Zhangye County" and "Wuwei County" by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
However, the Evil King and the King of Hutu still ran away, worthy of being nomads on horseback, and fled at the speed of a frightened bird.
Hexi Shuanghe, who was defeated twice by a twenty-year-old young general in the same place with the same tactics, was embarrassed and aggrieved! They couldn't figure out how they had been staring at the direction of Yanzhi Mountain in the southeast, how could the Han army fall from the sky from the northwest side, this was really an inexplicable loss.
I can only say that Huo Qubing is really the nemesis of the Huns. If the Hun army comes and goes like the wind, and the tactics are like demons, then Huo Quai's tactics are simply like the devil.
He can always make the most of the Xiongnu to surrender his generals, overcome all environmental and organizational difficulties, and appear in the most unlikely place at the most unlikely time.
The ghosts and gods are unpredictable and elusive, and the antelope hanging horns are nowhere to be found.
Hexi won a great victory, capturing and beheading more than 40,000 captives, and the western part of the Xiongnu River lost nearly half of its military strength, which was a milestone victory. The good news was transmitted back to Dahan, and the whole Chang'an fell into madness.
Almost everyone realized that Huo Quzhi, a young military genius, was about to go down in the history of war. His battle has never been fought through the ages, and it is really beautiful.
Go deep into the desert no man's land, pass through Shaanxi to Inner Mongolia to Gansu and then to Qinghai, and then turn around and re-enter Gansu.
Far-reaching and roundabout, marching continuously, fighting continuously, winning successive battles, invincible. This is really a battle of three thousand miles, and a sword light cold nineteen states.
From ancient times to the present, from the middle to the outside, which military strategist dared to carry out such a large-scale and in-depth roundabout battle, and he succeeded? For this alone, Huo Qubing has created a classic miracle in the history of world warfare and has become the most dazzling star in the starry sky of the Han Dynasty.
After returning to Chang'an, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty greatly rewarded the soldiers who went on the expedition and sealed 5,000 households of Huo Quai. On the way back to Chang'an, Huo Qubing passed by Hedong County again and brought Huo Guang back to Chang'an. And Zhao Ponu also successfully returned, and reported to Huo Quzhi about the use of the separation meter.
After Zhao Ponu arrived in Zhao Xincheng, he began to implement Huo Quai's strategy. After seeing Zhao Xin, he said to Zhao Xin: "I am a messenger sent by General Huo, General Huo said that you want to surrender, why haven't you surrendered until now?" ”
