Chapter 326: A Thousand Miles Rush The Battle of Dragon City

"Report!"

A fast horse galloped into the customs, and then came all the way to a handsome tent.

Han Xin looked at the information in his hand and laughed: "The Hun army has gathered!" ”

"Send a message to Your Majesty and prepare to defeat the Huns in one fell swoop!"

Luoyang, the capital of the gods, was very excited after receiving the information from the front line. Since Zhang Liang deduced that the Huns were going to attack on a large scale more than a month ago, Wang Jing ordered the army to assemble, and all kinds of grain and grass baggage began to prepare.

Immediately after receiving the news, he ordered the army to go on the march.

Wang Jing ordered Zhenbei general Han Xin to lead 70,000 cavalry out of Shuofang, ordered Changping Bo Weiqing to lead an army of 30,000 fine cavalry out of Yunzhong, and ordered Xiao cavalry general Wu'an Hou Li Xiao to lead 30,000 fine cavalry out of Longxi, and the three-way army to conquer the Xiongnu.

Because the great cadres had always been very wary of the Xiongnu and all kinds of supplies were prepared, it took only a few days for the army to complete the assembly, bringing a small amount of grain and grass to the expedition.

This time the main commander of the Northern Expedition to the Huns was carefully selected by Wang Jing, and the Zhenbei general Han Xinnai was currently the highest in the war among the cadres, and after this battle, he must be crowned a marquis, and Changping Bo Weiqing is the son-in-law of the Wei clan of the Gong clan, inheriting the title of his ancestor.

The original Changping Marquis has been reduced to Changping Bo, and he has been in the army for ten years, and has always been guarding Shuofang, his bow and horse are skillful, and the battle is calm, and the Huns often win more with less.

As for the cavalry general, Wu'anhou Li Xiaonai is the grandson of Wu'anhou Li Mu, with a family history, and he himself fought against the Huns in Longyou all the year round.

The three-way army is very fast, after all, these three-way armies are all elite cavalry. It was already ready to go to the Huns.

Countless cavalry went north, and in addition, there were a large number of good families who went out together, and even those nobles would go out with the king.

Every time the nobles of the Great Cadres fought a war, they had to send their sons and nephews into the army, which was a way for the nobles to maintain their wealth. After all, only with enough military exploits can you ensure that your title will not be reduced.

Wang Jing has long been holding back a big one, in the past, the Huns were scattered on the grassland, and even if they wanted to attack, even if they defeated some tribes, other tribes soon got the news. It can be said that it is extremely difficult for Daqian to find a turn.

Now that the King of the Huns has taken the initiative to gather the army together, Wang Jing will naturally not miss this opportunity.

The dispatch of the three armies of the northwest, Shuofang, and Yunzhong can almost be said to be the power of the whole country. All the 300,000 war horses cultivated by Shuofang Horse Farm were distributed to form 100,000 cavalry.

These war horses are all high-headed horses, fast speed, good endurance, can run long distances, the largest number of the three-way army is Han Xin, and his target is the Xiongnu royal court, Wei Qing and Li Xiao's target is the Xiongnu's left and right Xian Wang.

Although Wei Qing and Li Xiao's goal is less than that of the Xiongnu royal court, the difficulty of running thousands of miles is not low at all, after the two of them left the fortress, they only carried a small part of the grain and grass supplies, and then went all the way to the north, they were ready to fight to feed the war.

Han Xin rode 70,000 to lead the army north, over the years, the secret guards of the Great Cadre sent a large number of caravans to the grassland, drew a lot of maps, although the Huns did not set up cities, but to the winter shelter from the wind and snow is basically fixed.

The Huns did not expect that Daqian would dare to go out of the fortress with a large army, let alone in winter.

Tens of thousands of horsemen were dispatched, even the infantry had war horses to walk, and in order to transport grain and grass, Han Xin also prepared two hundred climbing plows. Therefore, the march of the army was extremely fast.

Under the leadership of the dark guard, tens of thousands of foot cavalry quickly went north, and some small Xiongnu tribes along the way were annihilated by the army before they even had time to react.

Han Xin sat in a tent that was still in good condition, eating mutton while marking on the map to make sure he was not taking the wrong path.

A soldier came in with the head of the tribe and asked, "General, he is the head of this tribe!" ”

"Ask him, where is Shan Yu's army now? Honestly confess and spare his life! Han Xin said without raising his head.

"General, Da Dan Yu is in Dragon City!" The leader of the Huns hurriedly said: "Da Danyu ordered to gather all the warriors and was preparing to go south. ”

"You know how to go!" Han Xin looked up at him and asked.

The Hun leader nodded hurriedly and said, "I know, I know!" ”

"Okay, take us there!"

"Yes, yes!" The Hun leader hurriedly agreed.

"What about the rest of the Huns, general?" The army did not have much food and grass to carry out, and if these prisoners were kept, there would not be enough food to eat.

"Kill all the injured and unable to move, all the young and strong are reduced to slaves, give them a knife, let them follow the battle, as long as they kill an enemy, they will be pardoned, kill three people to become dry people, and leave some food for the women and children to leave them with some food, let them go to Shuofang on their own, and then they will have their own Shuofang county guards to settle down!"

Han Xin said indifferently.

In fact, he is already merciful, and the best way is actually to kill the vast majority of people, leaving only a few as cannon fodder.

Han Xin was not at all worried that those women and children would flee to other tribes, and in this season, the Xiongnu tribes on the steppe were simply not capable of accepting these women and children.

If they don't want to freeze to death and starve to death, they can only go to Shuofang County, and even then, many of them will die.

"Bring dry food, burn everything else, and the army will pull out the camp after a stick of incense!"

"Yui!"

When the soldiers received the order, hundreds of people immediately went to kill the Huns, and after the remaining Huns looked at the Qianjun in fear, the Qianjun were immediately ecstatic after killing the wounded Huns and telling them that they did not need to die.

After the cadres killed the wounded horses, they had a good meal, and then took the slaves and cannon fodder on their horses and continued north.

With the guidance of the Xiongnu slaves, coupled with the secret guards and maps, Han Xin did not stop all the way and quickly marched to the Xiongnu royal court.

After continuous marching, the army galloped for more than a thousand miles, and finally came to the court of Dadan Yu Yizhixian Palace. And the Xiongnu royal court also began to move south at this time, and the armies of the two sides happened to collide together.

Seeing that the Hun army was here, Han Xin laughed and said, "Brothers, seal your wife and son, just today!" ”

Han Xin ordered the infantry to dismount and line up, and the 30,000 cavalry outflanked him or so, and the Xiongnu were shocked to see the Qianjun suddenly appear here. Immediately adjusted the formation, and then led the army straight to the middle army of the Qianjun army, and at the same time sent 50,000 cavalry to attack from both flanks.

The cavalry on both wings of the Huns just collided with the Daqian Iron Cavalry, and the Huns did not take the Daqian cavalry in their eyes at all, but it was not until the cavalry of the two sides came into contact that the Huns understood what kind of enemy they were facing.

The number of Hun cavalry iron armor is pitiful, in the face of the iron armor of Daqian, it is not an opponent at all, a large number of Huns fell from their horses as soon as they came into contact, and then the Daqian iron cavalry rampage, chiseled through the Hun army formation.

At the same time, the large array of the infantry of the Great Cadres used the climbing plough as a shield, and a large number of crossbowmen fired at it, forming a military formation and approaching quickly. The elite of the Xiongnu royal court attacked several times, but they were all overturned by the people who were shot by the rain of arrows.
