It's been so hard to code words lately.,All kinds of inexplicable sensitive words.,Can you still write a book happily~~~.

………………

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, in a relatively fair environment, the more you give, the more you will get, Zhong Liwu is ridiculing Han Xin, in fact, he is also feeling lucky for himself.

Not only Zhong Liwu, but also Shen Tujia, Lu Xiong and many others, they all felt fortunate that they were able to be in the same army with Han Xin, and after accepting the difficult task, the credit was even greater after completing the task, and the great merit could be exchanged for huge merit, and with enough merit, it became easier to promote the official position. Of course...... The premise is that they can survive, those who died or were disabled in the war are estimated to have scolded Han Xin countless times before they died or after being disabled, and scolded Han Xin for being a disaster?

In the midst of rejoicing or scolding, Han Xin's team set off again after resting, and they would join the rest of the friendly troops under the same legion, and the soldiers of Han Xin's school knew that they were not acting on their own, and some were disappointed and some put their hearts back in place.

"What is this going to do?"

"Just think so much and just do what you are told."

Yes, the soldiers never had the so-called freedom, any action came from orders, they were fully prepared, and the Fifth Cavalry Regiment, which was only 43,000 men, marched in the northwest direction.

Wei Han didn't talk about where he was going before leaving, and many generals privately speculated that they were going to the direction of Woye, and it was estimated that the battle situation on Woye's side had changed, so they urgently needed support from them? More people don't want to do anything, just do their own thing.

It is no secret that the Hu people in the depths of the grassland are assembling a large army, and when the Han army on the front line is conducting various exchange meetings, the intelligence officers have repeatedly reported that the First Cavalry Regiment is still in the stage of secrecy, and no one knows the movements of the First Cavalry Regiment except for a few high-ranking generals.

The soldiers of the Fifth Cavalry Regiment were not wrong in guessing that they were going in the direction of the Fertile Field, but they did not intend to enter the Fertile Field. Not even within a hundred miles of the fertile field. When they were about 120 miles away from the fertile field, the troops changed direction again and moved to the west, staying next to a stream to replenish the water source, and Wei Han recruited officers above the rank of lieutenant to give a briefing on the operation.

"We're going here." Wei Han's finger rested on a place on the military map, which in modern times is fifty miles northwest of the Dusitu River, and now there is no Dusitu River but a flat plain: "Hold off the main force of Touman here." ”

At this moment, the recruited generals knew something, it turned out that Touman's headquarters had moved to the north, and the Hu army tried to get close to the south of Woye, seemingly waiting for the arrival of grassland reinforcements, and then cooperate with the reinforcements to attack the Han army in Woye on both sides?

"It was shown on the previous intelligence. There are nearly 200,000 Hu people moving to the southeast, and that army is a suspicious soldier of Toumangubu? "Shen Tujia is talking about the previous movements of the enemy army known to most people.

Wei Han glanced at Shen Tujia, then looked around at the many generals present, and said, "There are really more than 200,000 enemy troops approaching General Zhengxi's line, and it is not a bluff. ”

Many people were stunned, they knew that the strength of Touman at hand was about 250,000, since there were more than 200,000 enemy troops approaching the place where General Meng Tian of Zhengxi was, what was the situation that there were nearly 200,000 in Touman's headquarters where they were going to block?

"A small number of the troops assigned by Touman to fight against General Zhengxi were originally the headquarters of Touman. Most of them were allies that Maudun had sought in the Western Regions. When Wei Han said this, he motioned for Lu Jia to conduct a military intelligence summary.

Lu Jia's current identity is the chief of the Fifth Cavalry Legion, and he also began to fulfill the responsibility of a chief after receiving the signal. In his account, Maudun, who was originally active in the Western Regions, sent nearly 160,000 reinforcements to Touman, and those reinforcements were basically allies won by Maudun or captured slaves.

"The information from the Wusun people shows us. Maudun made alliances with at least twenty or so tribes, and those tribes gathered about 80,000 troops, and the rest were the population captured by Maudun during the crusade. Lu Jia stopped when he said this, and a deep sneer appeared on his face that surprised the uninformed: "We don't know so well what Mao Dun is thinking. More than 200,000 people who originally belonged to the Western Regions were sent to the battlefield where we were fighting, but it will be much easier for us to occupy the Western Regions in the future. ”

The generals who listened intently were stunned, no wonder Lu Jia smiled so coldly. The population of the Western Regions is not too much, and after falling into the war, it will definitely lose more population, and Mao Dun will send more than 200,000 to Touman, and the population of the Western Regions will definitely become even more scarce.

It is a strategic goal that the empire will march to the Western Regions in the future, and Mao Dun should also guess this strategic goal of the empire, and this time the action is definitely not simply to block the Han army, but to completely make the people of the Western Regions and the empire hostile. After having hatred, the people of the Western Regions will definitely resist the westward advance of the Han army more resolutely, and it will become more difficult for the Han army to win over some people from the Western Regions in the future to become a helper? In Mao Dun's view, the Western Regions were chaotic and had no labor, and the Han army could not improve its strength in a short period of time.

What the top brass thinks, or what kind of thoughts do they have to judge, the group of people who are middle-level military generals and colonels don't think too much, what they urgently need to know is how many enemy troops they will face, and what is the composition and structure of the enemy army.

"What we are going to face is Touman's henchmen, most of the 200,000 or so Hu people have had a lot of confrontations with our advance troops (referring to the first few Han armies to go north), adapted to our tactics, and have been equipped with rudimentary stirrups," Lu Jia paused, seeing that too many generals showed disapproving expressions, and reminded solemnly: "They are equipped with more metal weapons, strengthened the defense on the armor, and even have troops similar to our assault cavalry. ”

The so-called strengthening of armor defense is also like that, the Hu people were originally wearing animal skins as their usual wear, and without smelting technology, metal armor was destined not to be popular, that is, a small amount of metal armor was concentrated to train a small number of assault troops, and then a large number of more layers of stinky and hard sheepskin jackets were put on.

The sheepskin jacket actually has a certain defensive power, and has a certain protective effect that hinders the penetration of the arrow, if you wear more of it, it can play a stronger defense against arrows, but the protection of the melee cavalry spear is not strong at all, and the defense against the sword or horizontal knife in the short soldier is also limited. After all, the stress points of many weapons are different.

In the past engagements, the Han army's routine against the Hu people was not too much, and a large number of arrows and feathers covering the long distance was an inevitable process, Touman's troops were wiped out on the road of charging more than once, and the number of hand-to-hand combat of the cavalry on both sides was not too much, and the scale of melee hand-to-hand combat was also limited.

The Hu people's various crafts are backward, or even completely non-existent. The horn bow used by the Hu people also suffered completely in terms of range, because of the lack of smelting technology and the lack of more penetrating metal arrowheads, it was in a completely disadvantageous position in the middle of the shot, so that in the later battles, the Hu people did not even think of shooting at all. I began to want to get close to hand-to-hand combat in the shortest possible time.

"The Hu people slaughtered cattle and sheep in large quantities, so that they could get more furs. But...... Didn't they take into account the military rations of the later period? Shen Tujia's expression was a little strange.

Lu Jia didn't answer, he didn't even look at Shen Tujia, it was obvious that Touman's slaughter of cattle and sheep in large quantities was a strategy to put them to death and survive, and it was also to ensure that the more than 200,000 reinforcements from the Western Regions had enough food. He continued to say what he had changed, nodded at Wei Han after speaking, and then stepped aside.

In fact, Shen Tujia has grasped a key point, that is, Touman slaughters a large number of cattle and sheep. There must have been many people who have discovered this, but it has not been explicitly pointed out.

"General Zhengxi's judgment is that he suspects that Touman is not simply to form a flank with reinforcements, but to use a series of actions to confuse." Wei Han stretched out his hand and nodded somewhere on the military map: "This place is less than thirty miles away from the Sand Sea. A slight change of direction leads to the desert, where our scouts discover that they can temporarily break out of the desert with less than five miles of marching, followed by a large oasis with a desert stretch of about twenty miles to the west. Crossing the area here is a grassland. ”

Wei Han did not mention more keywords, such as where to find water sources before entering the desert, and how many people could be provided with water in that large oasis in the desert.

The Fifth Cavalry Regiment was to block the headquarters of the head man. So should they stop Touman on his way to the fertile field, or should they go to the desert that is not difficult to cross?

If the Fifth Cavalry Regiment wanted to stop the attack at the place where Touman went to Woye, they only needed to march about fifteen miles after replenishing the water source, find a slightly higher place to set up camp, and send a large number of scouts to spy and guard, even if they had completed the preliminary arrangement.

If the Fifth Cavalry Regiment was going to hold back on the other side of the desert, it seemed that they should not stop, but march as fast as they could?

It's not that Wei Han doesn't want to explain or elaborate, the problem is that whether it's Meng Tian or himself, they can't judge what Touman will do.

Meng Tian has gone to the fertile field and crossed the desert in countless deductions, and once such a deduction result appears, any choice requires enough luck.

On the one hand, there are more than 200,000 enemy troops approaching, and a war that is destined to break out makes it impossible for Meng Tian to draw more troops, and on the other hand, Touman and his headquarters don't know what kind of action they will make, in fact, Meng Tian has no more choices.

Because it was a matter of luck and there were not enough troops to mobilize, Meng Tian decided to come up with the most compromise after discussing with Wei Han, which could only be to transfer the Fifth Cavalry Corps to a correct position, and then rely on the reconnaissance of the scouts to make the next move.

"That's why we need to rush here." Wei Han tapped his finger on the military map, and the location was less than ten miles away from them: "That's why we need to replenish the water source." ”

All the generals and colonels were nodding, before they knew if there would be a war, and they didn't know how long they would be entangled after the battle, the water source was indeed the most important preparation that needed to be replenished.

"If there is no accident, General Zhengxi has already led his army to advance, and the 13th Cavalry Corps, the 21st Mixed Regiment, and the 22nd Mixed Regiment have already engaged the enemy," Wei Han looked at the intelligence officer, and received a definite reply before he continued: "If the battle starts over there, Touman will hide in the shadows to observe, and we will have at least three days to spare, and now is the last day." ”

The time difference between the two armies in scheduling is an inevitable psychology of gain and loss.

The time difference is the reaction of Meng Tian immediately after detecting the enemy's movements, that is, the time when the Fifth Cavalry Legion is dispatched and the time when Touman hides in the shadows and does not move immediately.

Under the premise that Meng Tian did not show an absolute advantage, Tou Man would have a fluke mentality, hoping that Meng Tian would show his disadvantage in the battle, and have a mentality that he could defeat Meng Tian and turn around and attack, so Tou Man would not move quickly towards the fertile field or the desert at the beginning.

In addition to having qualified military qualities, a good coach must also know how to figure out people's hearts and guess people's hearts to make a series of military action judgments and scheduling.

Obviously, Meng Tian was definitely a qualified or even excellent commander, and his guess about Touman was not wrong at all, and when he led the 13th, 21st, and 22nd legions to engage the 200,000 or so enemy troops that had been improvised together, Touman did not go far.

Touman led his troops to pay attention to the development of the battle situation about fifty miles from the battlefield, but the information he got was that under the command of Meng Tian, the rabble led by Hu Yanmi suffered heavy losses and retreated step by step, only on the first day of the war, Hu Yanmi was wiped out by the Han army at least 30,000 people, and the next day those reinforcements from the Western Regions fled 60,000 or 70,000 people, and before night fell the next day, there were less than 100,000 Hu troops of more than 200,000 left, and these 100,000 people showed signs of collapse and scattering at any time.

"Meng Tian is so strong?!" Touman was inhaling cold air: "In less than three days, just in less than three days, even 200,000 pigs will not collapse so quickly!" ”

It's okay if it's a pig, people are thoughtful primates, and it is precisely because of thinking that they will not be as ignorant as pigs. People will run away without looking back when they think there is no hope, pigs don't understand what it means to have no hope, and pigs will stumble around and form some form of resistance when they are afraid.

"Originally, it was inferior to the enemy army in terms of organization, and Hu Yanmi couldn't suppress the leaders of the support armies." He Sui Kui Nie was not in the middle of a well, he stated the facts: "The morale, equipment, and tactics are not as good as the people, and there is nothing to say about failure." ”

Tou Man was a little embarrassed and angry in an instant, and he glared at He Sui Kui Nie viciously, but he didn't have a seizure.

He Sui Kui Nie, who was glared at viciously, added embarrassedly: "It's all to blame for Mao Dun, he himself is timid and afraid that he won't die, but he lost so many unreliable rabble." ”

Tou Man didn't like Mao Dun, and he was also alert to Mao Dun's power challenge, but he didn't like He Sui Kui Nie's tone even more, as if Mao Dun would come over in person and there would be a different battle situation, wouldn't that mean that he was not as good as Mao Dun? (To be continued......)
