On the official road, a team meandered along, and it was the army from Yunzhou. This time, in order to fight against the Huns, Guo Jia brought almost half of his family.

Five thousand cavalry, ten thousand infantry, including five thousand crossbowmen, this is almost all in the territory of Yunzhou.

In addition, Guo Jia also brought 300 artillery and 100 artillery carriages.

Zhao Dazhui stood proudly at the head of the queue.

After several months of training, Guo Jia's artillery unit was expanded by nearly 500 people.

This time, he only brought three hundred people, and the rest were handed over to Xi Zhong and Xu Shu, after all, guarding Yunzhou is also a very difficult task. With Yunzhou's troops, it is indeed difficult to cooperate without artillery.

In addition, Guo Jia also brought more than 100 chariots. A tank battalion was formed.

Against the cavalry of the Huns in the field, chariots were indispensable.

The car was not empty, but loaded with Guo Jia's secret weapon this time.

These secret weapons are Guo Jia's last reliance.

As early as three months ago, Guo Jia began to plan how to deal with the Huns' cavalry.

These secret weapons were driven out in a few months.

"Lord Thorn Shi, fifty miles ahead is the bridgehead."

Ahead to the Malay newspaper.

Ignore it!

Guo Jia breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that they came at the right time, and the main forces of the Southern Huns have not yet arrived.

"The Right Army Division has sent someone to contact us and welcome us into the city."

The right army division is Xun You, but at this moment he is guarding the bridgehead under the pseudonym Wu Yizhen.

The bridgehead is the first tentacle stretched out by Zhongshan and has great strategic significance.

Xun You is naturally very clear.

Seeing that the city was in sight, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the Huns had a large number of troops, siege was not their strong point.

With a bridgehead, they will definitely be able to thwart.

Pass the order!

Guo Jia suddenly said: "Tell the right army division that we will not enter the city, let them defend the city well." ”

What the?

Hearing the news, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

If you don't enter the city, do you want to fight a field battle with the Huns?

Yu Ban and Zhao Yun glanced at each other, and they were also a little puzzled.

Although they may not lose to the Huns in a field battle, there are cities to defend, so why do they have to fight a field battle?

Isn't this the strength of one's own shortcomings and the strengths of others?

In field warfare, the Huns were very powerful.

The lord's decision seems to be a little abnormal.

Seeing that the two subordinates were a little confused, Guo Jia smiled and said, "Do you think I'm a little dizzy?" If you don't defend the city, you have to fight a field battle with them? ”

Yu Ban and Zhao Yun couldn't help but feel hot on their faces.

They really have some ideas.

However, I was still a little embarrassed to be pointed out by Guo Jia.

"I don't know what the lord means?"

Yu Ban Hug Fist Do.

Although Zhao Yun didn't speak, there was some expectation on his face.

Ay!

Guo Jia couldn't help but shake his head.

Although the two are rare good generals, they are not strategists, and they are a little far from strategizing.

"The Huns are pouring in, and they will not stop if they don't break Yunzhou. If we don't come out of the bridgehead, they won't see the cheapness, and they won't do everything to attack the city. As soon as they bypassed the bridgehead and penetrated deep into the hinterland of Yunzhou, we became passive. Don't forget, unlike the Han army, the Huns had no supply lines. ”

I see!

The two suddenly realized.

Going around the city is a taboo for soldiers.

Once this is done, the rear supply lines will be exposed to the other side.

If the enemy sends troops to cut off the supply lines, the entire army will be defeated without a fight.

But there is something special about the steppe nomads.

They would carry a large number of cattle, sheep and horses in every battle, and they would fight while grazing, and eat the cattle and sheep when they were hungry. So there are no supply lines.

When they encounter a city that cannot be defeated, they will choose to bypass it and continue to attack the surrounding small cities.

Sometimes they can go around for a long time.

This is the advantage of not having a supply line.

That is, you can fight if you want, and you can leave when you want, without any burden.

Of course, this was limited only to cavalry.

If the Huns bypassed the bridgehead and penetrated deep into the interior of Yunzhou, it would definitely put great pressure on the internal defenses.

In addition, the infantry stationed at the bridgehead was completely useless, except for the cavalry to catch up.

But 5,000 against 30,000, or the archers of the Huns, most of them have no chance of winning.

Therefore the city cannot be defended.

Guo Jia didn't plan to defend the city from the beginning.

"That's what the lord said!"

Yu was convinced, although he had become a qualified general, his understanding of the Hun cavalry was not as deep as Guo Jia's.

"Lord, even if it's a field battle, we are not weak against them."

Zhao Yun also spoke.

Since you can't defend the city, let's fight.

He was convinced that the White Horse Yi under his command was never weaker than the elite cavalry of the Huns.

Hehe!

Guo Jia smiled slightly.

Field battles are necessary, but they don't have to be fought hard.

The eldest husband is no longer fighting, and there is no way to be stubborn.

The Southern Xiongnu bordered Yunzhou, and even if the little prince was not killed, they would not let go of the rich land of Yunzhou.

So this time, Guo Jia wants to wipe out the Southern Xiongnu and end this henchman's trouble.

"Zilong, from now on, you will go separately from Yu Ban. You lead five thousand cavalry and continue northward. Once you come into contact with the Huns, don't fall in love with the war, and retreat while fighting. Lead them to the state. ”

Guo Jia admonished.

Go and merge!

Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment.

Don't......

He couldn't help but glance at Guo Jia.

Is this lord going to lead the troubles to the east?

"Since Ding Yuan dares to covet Yunzhou, then let's give him a big gift. This battle will be chosen within the territory of the state. ”

Guo Jia said with a smile.

Coup!

Zhao Yun was overjoyed.

Ding Yuan of Bingzhou is not a good bird, he gathered heavy troops on the border of Bingzhou, and originally intended to take advantage of Yunzhou's weakness to come for a while.

You have not been unkind to me.

Guo Jia is also a matter of course at this moment.

Lord!

Yu Ban on the side was a little puzzled.

"Only with the crossbow and the cavalry can they fight against the Huns. If Zilong took away the cavalry, and the Huns came straight to our infantry, wouldn't our men be in danger. ”

His concerns were not unfounded.

In the vast steppe, the cavalry is the absolute hegemon.

Although the infantry can also form a formation against the cavalry, once the cavalry cuts off the back route, it will definitely be routed on the whole line. But afterwards, there will be no one left who will be chased and killed by the cavalry.

This trick is what Guo Jia is best at.

In the battles of Yunzhou, the cavalry has acted as the last killer.

The large army that died directly or indirectly at the hands of the cavalry, a few of them numbered tens of thousands.

Do not worry!

A smile appeared on Guo Jia's face.

"I wish they were coming? As long as they come, I will make them unforgettable for life. ”

As he spoke, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
