Section 828 Ambush on all sides (2)
Fortunately, since the establishment of Wuyuan, the officers above the leadership of the two armies of the Han Dynasty and the two guards of the Tiger Feather Forest have all been to Wuyuan and have done a one-month rotation training.
This kind of rotation training is actually a recharge, and some basic common sense and past secret examples of warfare are stuffed into their heads by cramming.
The Battle of Haixia, as the battle of the Han Dynasty, is also one of the most famous classic battles in modern times.
Naturally, they were all stuffed into the officer's head.
It's one thing to understand or not to understand.
Whether you can remember it or not, it is a major event related to promotion and promotion.
Especially Hu Benwei and Yu Lin Wei, officers above the team rate, want to be promoted?
Let's first test the basic military knowledge and the understanding of classic combat examples.
At this moment, Yizong had just mentioned an ambush on all sides.
Countless officers naturally remembered the whole process of the battle of Haixia and the deployment and stalemate of the Chu and Han armies that they were forced to write down.
That's the benefit of cramming.
In any case, at the very least, what is taught is indeed poured into people's heads.
Many people recalled in their hearts the process of the Han army in the battle of Haixia.
To be reasonable, in fact, the situation under the city of Mayi at this moment is completely different from that of the Han army in Haixia back then.
At the very least, the object of the encirclement is two enemies who are at opposite directions.
Haixia was surrounded by the Chu army commanded by Xiang Yu, the backbone of which was the children of Jiangdong, mainly tribes, and the entire Chu army was more than 100,000 people, with only a few thousand horsemen.
And now the Xiongnu coalition army in the encirclement of the Han army is a pure cavalry force.
Therefore, under Haixia, the Han army can calmly set up layers of interceptions.
Anyway, the two-legged foot soldier is still seriously short of food. Can you run there?
But now, the situation is very different.
Give the cavalry a chance to escape?
Once the Huns jumped out of the encirclement of the Han army.
Then, I'm afraid that the Han army will be helpless.
Of course, it is not without good news.
First of all, now the Han army already knows, the Xiongnu coalition army. I'm about to run out of food!
Since Wuzhou fell into the hands of the Han army, the Hun cavalry in these encirclements could only rely on the dry food and cheese they carried with them to replenish their strength.
How much dry ration and cheese can a cavalryman bring?
Moreover, past combat examples and experiences also told the Han army that the Huns could only continue to fight for ten days at most without logistical support.
So. In the early days, the Huns' attack was a moon full and a moon loss.
Even if they start saving food after finding out that they have fallen into the encirclement, they will be able to last a few more days at most.
And, more importantly - the Xiongnu coalition forces in the encirclement, the food of the people, and the dry food and cheese that they carried.
What do horses eat?
Thirty thousand troops. According to the standard configuration of the Huns riding two horses, it is fifty or sixty thousand war horses.
Right now. The entire territory within the encirclement is only seventy or eighty miles in radius.
In such a narrow area, it is simply impossible to provide enough grass fodder for fifty or sixty thousand war horses.
Thinking like this, a captain of the Han army stood up and said: "The last general thinks that our army must first exhaust the horses of the Huns......
Immediately someone added: "Immediately expel the Huns to the mountains......"
These are all officers from the Tiger Benwei and Yu Linwei.
Obviously, it was still stuck in the battle of Haixia according to the script, Han Xin's plan to oppress the Chu army.
But they can do it to this extent. It's already qualified.
After all, before today, most of them were just Zhao Kuo on paper.
Therefore, Yizong is not too demanding. Nodding his head, he said, "Your ideas are very good, but ......"
He also came from Xiaobai at the beginning, of course he knew that generals had to grow up slowly.
Many things need to be experienced in person to understand what is right and what is wrong.
"But our army needs a quick battle now, and there is not much time to entangle with the Huns......"
Yi Zong took the baton, dotted on the map, and said: "The comrades of the Xiliu Battalion were the Nanchi ...... that were taken six or seven days ago."
"According to the confessions obtained from the interrogation of the captives, every five days, the Huns will have envoys to and fro to deliver news, and it just so happens that the day when the Xiliu Battalion seized Nanchi is the date when the Hun envoys go to Shan Yuting to report the situation......" Yi Zong looked at the generals and said solemnly: "That is to say, at this moment, the Xiongnu's Shan Yuting, even if he is a fool, knows that there is a problem with Yin Zhi's department!" ”
"Perhaps at this moment, the main force of the Xiongnu Shan Yuting has already set off south, this is a huge army of at least 100,000 horsemen!" Yi took a deep breath and said.
Now, at least on paper, the Hun cavalry outnumbered at least twice as many as the Han army.
Moreover, unlike the Han family.
The cavalry of the Han army, scattered all over the country.
The long defense line of the Great Wall involved a large number of living forces of the Han family.
The Huns, on the other hand, could concentrate superior forces to confront the Han army.
If the Han army could not solve the Xiongnu coalition forces in the encirclement before its main force arrived in Wuzhou.
Then, the Xiongnu coalition forces in the encirclement are very likely to escape.
Even, Yizong felt that as long as the main force of Shan Yuting appeared on the Great Wall, then the Han army would most likely have to take the initiative to let the Hun army in the encirclement leave.
As a relative, Yizong knew very well that even the Son of Heaven was not ready for a decisive battle with the main force of the Xiongnu.
"So, our army doesn't have much time to waste!"
Let the tiger return to the mountain, and the future will be endless.
If the Xiongnu coalition forces in the encirclement were allowed to escape, then they would most likely tell the Huns about the progress of the Han cavalry and the superiority of the Han army's equipment.
It's not much on the side.
But the technology of making stirrups and saddles can be imitated with a little thought.
It is a horseshoe, and it is estimated that the Huns can also copy.
Probably, their manufacturing technology and process, original and simple.
But there is and there is not, it is two different things!
……………………………………
The Han army was deliberating.
From outside the city of Mayi, in the camp of the Xiongnu coalition army retreating north.
Yin Zhixian and Aries Wang Gu and Lou Fu Wang were also in a meeting.
The topic of their meeting. It was a few captured Han horses and a few prisoners.
These prisoners of war and war horses were the result of the Hun army's ambush of a cavalry squad of Han troops who went forward to reconnoiter and guard.
Yin Zhi obliquely looked at the saddles of the Han army in front of him, his mood was excited and desperate.
No one who grew up on horseback knew better the changes these mounts would bring to cavalry.
"We have to send these rides back home!" Yin Zhi said in a deep voice: "These rides must not be allowed. Only the Han Dynasty had it! ”
This time, Yin Zhixian already knew very well that he and the Huns had fallen into a big trap.
The powerful and invincible Zhelan tribe was even wiped out as a result.
Even the morale of the remaining tribal cavalry fell to the bottom.
Now, with the exception of a few, most of the soldiers have lost their courage.
Worse. The army has run out of food.
Since yesterday, the army has had to slaughter wounded horses for the soldiers to eat.
But the army of 30,000 people, people eat horses and chew, and the daily consumption is astronomical.
By slaughtering wounded war horses, it simply can't survive for a few days.
Soon, the army will be forced to kill the healthy horses as well.
It's even more troublesome. There is also not enough forage.
Before setting out on the expedition, the Xiongnu tribes considered this to be an armed march as light-hearted as all the southern invasions in the past few decades.
Ride with forty thousand. It also includes trump cards such as Zhelan, and raids a city of Mayi that the Han army is exposed to outside the protection of the Great Wall's defenses.
Not to mention that it is easy to catch, it should also be extremely pleasant.
So, the army didn't bring any hay reserves at all.
Everybody is thinking about feeding war with war.
Now, however, it has turned into a disaster.
The Zhelan tribe was completely annihilated. Only two or three thousand of the routs who were beaten to the collapse of the Han army escaped.
The rest are estimated to have been wiped out by the Han army.
After being compressed in this small area, the horses of the tribes immediately fell into the same hunger as people.
Now, up and down the whole army. There are less than 10,000 war horses that can also maneuver long distances.
Other war horses, running a few miles, are probably okay.
But beyond ten miles, the horses may lose their strength.
As a result, the mobility of the coalition forces actually fell to the bottom.
Yin Zhixian even had no doubt that in another ten days, the coalition army would change from cavalry to infantry.
By that time, there will be no need for the Han army to attack, and the coalition forces themselves will collapse.
Moreover, an even more troublesome problem is that there is a big trouble within the coalition forces!
Even, even many nobles and lower-level cavalry within Yin Zhixian's headquarters of Wanqi also fell into a strange circle of self-denial.
Many people are secretly using clay to shape a statue of an emperor of the Han Dynasty, praying and confessing every morning and evening.
There are even shamans who join this queue.
Yin Zhixian understood what was going on.
If you want to blame it, blame the military ministers!
He danced the great god in Dragon City in the summer, pretending to be a ghost and announcing that he had been protected by the gods.
At that time, the authority and status of the military ministers were greatly strengthened and consolidated.
However, when the Xiongnu coalition army was surrounded outside the city of Mayi, even the Zhelan tribe was destroyed.
The backlash of the military minister's pretending to be a god and a ghost immediately attacked.
Countless nobles and lower-level cavalry all felt that the gods behind them were not as powerful as the gods behind the emperors of the Han Dynasty.
The nomads on the steppe have always been a contradiction between ignorance and shrewdness, simplicity and cunning.
In individual groups, their worship of gods and unknown powers transcends national and national boundaries.
The teachings of shamanism also promote animism.
Some of the Huns, even stones, animal bones, and special tall plants, were sacrificed and worshipped.
The anthropomorphic gods, and the gods of self-invention and creation, are running all over the streets.
Since the gods behind the emperors of the Han Dynasty are indeed more powerful than the gods of Shan Yu in the face of facts.
It is not surprising, then, that they abandoned the gods they believed in and turned to the emperors of the Han Dynasty to worship and worship as gods.
Yin Zhixian couldn't imagine that those Xiongnu nobles and cavalrymen who worshipped the emperor of the Han Dynasty as a god would point their weapons at their god's army!
And, a phenomenon like this is already showing signs of snowballing.
It's like a plague, and the rate of infection is getting faster and faster.
If it continues like this, in a few days, the problem that Yin Zhixian will have to consider is not how to fight the Han army.
It's how to kill all these damned traitors!
Yin Zhixian thought about these things in his heart, but said impassionedly on the surface: "These equipment are related to the future life and death of the Great Huns, and Ben Tu Yu implores the two kings to make sacrifices for the Great Huns!" ”
When King Lou Fu and King Aries heard this, they looked at each other, and then asked, "What kind of sacrifice does Tu Hao want me to make?" ”
"There are also a few merchants from the Han Dynasty under Ben Tu Hao, and they know that there is a small road in the northwest direction that can cross the foothills of Wuzhou and enter the grassland......" Yin Zhi said in a deep voice: "But there is a Han army guarding the local area, and if you want to pass rashly, you will inevitably be intercepted by the Han army, so ......"
Yin Zhi bit his lip obliquely and said, "Ben Tu Hao wants to invite the two kings to cover for Ben Tu Lu, and make a posture to break through in the direction of Wuzhou Sai in the north to attract the attention ......of the Han army."
"Huh?" The Aries princess immediately became alert.
Yin Zhi wants to escape!
And he wants to use him and King Lou Fu as shields, and lead people to escape!
Is that the simple thing to do?
The Aries King immediately said: "Tu Hao's idea is very good, but why didn't Tu Hao cover for this king and the king of Lou Fu?" ”
Hearing what the Aries King said, the King of Lou Fu also reacted.
"Yes, why didn't Tu Hao cover for us?" Of course, King Lou is not stupid.
You Yin Zhixian want us to use you as a cover and escape by yourself?
Dream on!
Everyone is not familiar with each other, besides, in the grassland, in order to survive, let alone brothers, parents can also stab them!
When Yin Zhi heard this, his face sank, and he stared at King Lou Fu and King Aries.
"This Tu Lu is the clan of the Su Yu clan, and the only two descendants of the elder Da Dan Yu!" Yin Zhi said sharply: "If I die in battle, what will I do with the Suo Clan?" ”
"Shan Yu and Prince Yu Shan......" The Aries King simply tore his face and said: "Tu Yu wants to enter the main Shan Yuting, I'm afraid he is not qualified enough......"
"Moreover, even in case, Shan Yuting can still stand up to the king of Hujie!"
Yin Zhixian seemed to be caught off guard by this move.
He thought about it for a long time, seemed to struggle for a long time, and then said gloomily: "The two kings are right, Shan Yuting can do without Yin Zhixian, but he can't do without Aries and Lou Fu, then, Ben Tu Lu went to attract the Han army, and the two kings took the opportunity to break through, this is always okay, right?" ”
The Aries King listened and nodded with satisfaction.
If there is a way to live, of course he is willing to take the way to live.
However, the Aries princess didn't notice it.
In a casual moment, Yin Zhi slanted the corners of Lou Fuwang's mouth, and a smug smile appeared.
At that moment, the two men sneered in their hearts almost at the same time.
"Shoot this idiot!"
"I was played by Yin Zhixian (me)!"
To the northwest, where did you get the path?
Even if there were, the mountains over there were towering, the terrain was complex, and the forests were full.
Climb the past? (To be continued.) )
PS: I'm in a terrible state today, and I feel very tired!
Apply for a day off ~ continue to erupt tomorrow ~
And then, by the way.
The Hujie tribe is Caucasian, they are the ancestors of the Shi Zhao regime, well, it is the Shi Zhao who ate people during the Wuhu Rebellion.
