Chapter 254: The First Battle
Whoosh!
Flashes of light appeared in mid-air.
It was the rocket launched by the prospecting troops ahead.
"My lord, the vanguard of the Southern Huns has 5,000 men and is encamped fifty miles ahead."
Someone immediately sent the news to Guo Jia.
In ancient times, scouts were an indispensable force for both sides.
At that time, there was no radio, and the transmission of information was basically carried out by horses, and the commander-in-chief was able to grasp the information at the first time, so that he could make the fastest deployment.
Whether it is the transmission of messages or the issuance of orders, they are inseparable from scouts and probes.
Their speed and efficiency can largely determine the outcome of a battle.
That's how important information is.
Therefore, as a traverser, Guo Jia attaches great importance to the transmission of information.
Of course, the later generations of time-travelers naturally have the advantage of time-travelers.
Guo Jia used the arrows made of gunpowder to compile a set of procedures for transmitting information. A dedicated information unit has also been created.
Although this unit is small in number, it is very important and is responsible for the transmission of information to the entire team.
Gunpowder and arrows have a long range, which is also very eye-catching, and can also convey simple messages.
As a result, the speed of messaging has increased several times or more.
Very good!
Seeing this news, Guo Jia had a smile on his face.
In the face of the archers of the Southern Xiongnu, the border counties of the Han Dynasty were generally very afraid, so in the border counties, the Huns were still in a no-man's land.
The court of the Eastern Han Dynasty was weakening day by day, and it never was
Therefore, although the forward of the Huns discovered Guo Jia's cavalry, they did not take it seriously.
They
This time, Guo Jia will take advantage of the enemy's psychology to catch them off guard.
"Ordered the troops to move on. Prepare some gifts for the Huns! ”
Guo Jia said with a smile.
Gift!
Hearing this word, Zhao Dazhui immediately smiled.
Guo Jia's so-called gift is naturally a crockpot bomb, and their artillery can show its might again.
Promise!
Zhao Yun hugged his fists and immediately went down to make arrangements.
Although Guo Jia was the commander of the entire army, it was Zhao Yun who was specifically implemented in the cavalry battle, and he was responsible for the command of the entire cavalry campaign.
Three thousand cavalry quietly touched forward.
……
Fifty miles away, the large camp of the Huns.
Beilai is a general, and he followed Qiangqu Khan to fight in the south and the north, and he was also very skilled in marching and fighting.
The place where he chose to camp was also very secure, and close to the current.
The Huns' camps were simple, but they were also very effective, and they set up rows of horse repellents and traps in the front and back, left and right. And made a special mark, if someone rashly attacked, they would definitely fall into their trap.
Rao was so, Beilai still did not dare to be careless, and once again divided the cavalry into five teams and took turns to rest in case the enemy attacked.
No one night!
Early the next morning, Beilai received the news.
A thousand-strong Han cavalry stopped two hundred paces in front of their camp and set up a position.
A thousand?
Beilai's eyes narrowed.
This is seriously inconsistent with the news he received.
I'm afraid it's a strategy of the Han people, these people are just bait, and the real Han army is probably ambushed behind?
Beilai immediately gave the order to keep his subordinates on standby, and ignored the provocation of the Yunzhou cavalry.
The Great Khan of Qiangqu is on the way here, as long as he gathers tens of thousands of cavalry under the Khan of Qiangqu, he can drive straight into Yunzhou and break Yunzhou.
With the little force in front of him, it is naturally impossible to escape the fate of destruction.
I have to say that Beilai's decision-making is still a very safe way, but unfortunately he met Guo Jia.
The person in charge of commanding the thousand cavalry is Zhao Dazhui, and the reason why he was chosen as the vanguard is not because this guy can fight, but because this guy can pretend to be forced, and he is born with a loud voice.
It's easy to have a chance to pretend to be forced, and Zhao Dazhui is naturally fully armed.
The gold armor and silver hammer immediately brought.
"Ah, the Hun dog thief listens. This god will be the patron saint of Yunzhou. It is really hateful that you and other barbarians dare to invade the Central Plains. However, Heaven has the virtue of a good life, so you should retreat as soon as possible, so as not to invite the disaster of killing. ”
For this mission, Zhao Dazhui deliberately learned some Xiongnu dialect from the Hun merchants.
I have to say, this guy still has some talent.
After only a few days of learning, the Xiongnu dialect will slip away. If you don't listen carefully, you can't really tell the difference.
This guy's voice was high, and after two hundred steps, the voice reached the ears of the Huns.
The Hun soldiers looked at each other a little.
The Xiongnu people have the "heaven" consciousness of "heaven and earth" and "heaven and earth". The religious beliefs of the Xiongnu had a distinctly shamanic character.
According to records, the Huns "in May, the assembly of the city, sacrifice to their ancestors, heaven and earth, ghosts and gods". "And only in the morning out of the camp, the beginning of the sun, the evening worship the moon", "raise things and wait for the stars and the moon, the moon is strong and strong, the army will be retreated".
If there is a sorcerer, the army will be auspicious, worship the heavens, the earth, the sun and the moon, and have the custom of worshipping idols. In the worship of the gods, special attention was paid to the gods. It is believed that the gods are the supreme masters of the gods, and the gains and losses of the world depend on the heavens.
If a person's actions follow the way of heaven, heaven will give people good fortune. Otherwise, the heavens will bring calamity upon man. Therefore, whenever things go well, it is called "heavenly blessing".
Therefore, they also worship ghosts and gods.
Now a strangely dressed guy is babbling in front of them, how can they not be unusual.
What surprised them even more was that this man was actually holding a huge hammer.
Not to mention anything else, if this hammer goes down, won't even people and horses be beaten into pulp?
Seeing that such a big hammer was like a plaything in this person's hands, the faces of the Hun soldiers changed color.
Even the strongest warriors of the Huns probably can't hold this hammer.
Of course, there are also people who suspect that this hammer is a fake, how could a normal person hold such a big hammer.
It's just that the lieutenant gave the order, and the whole army did not move, and they did not dare to disobey the military order. I had to listen patiently.
Seeing the Huns pointing and pointing, Zhao Dazhui immediately came to his senses.
"Artillery ready!"
Zhao Dazhui quietly commanded.
His performance was inseparable from the cooperation of the artillerymen.
Otherwise, the effect will be greatly reduced.
Behind him, a dozen artillerymen set up the flying stone cart under the cover of the cavalry.
Everything is ready to go.
Zhao Dazhui rode his horse to the front of the team again.
"Since you are obsessed, don't blame the gods for being ruthless."
He pretended to be dancing with his hands.
After the Battle of the Yellow Turban, Zhao Dazhui's performance level was inspired by professionals and became presentable.
The Hun cavalry who were stunned was stunned.
For the details of Zhao Dazhui, the Yunzhou cavalry is very clear.
Seeing this performance, the cavalry around them couldn't help laughing, but they couldn't help laughing, and the ones behind almost fell off their horses.
Zhao Dazhui turned a blind eye and immersed himself in his pretending career.
I have to say that this is the most dedicated pretending criminal.
