Section 804 Battle of Maryi (1)
Guanzhong, Ganquan Mountain.
Liu Che stood on the top of Ganquan Mountain, looking at the beacon smoke that spread all the way from afar.
"The Huns have already entered the Kou!" He said to Prime Minister Zhou Yafu, who was standing beside him: "Prime Minister, please immediately announce my edict to the world!" ”
"No!" Zhou Yafu bowed and said, "Minister's edict!" ”
As the saying goes, if the name is not right, it is not good.
Since ancient times, China has been famous for its emphasis on teachers.
Even after another 2,000 years, this mode of thinking and strategic considerations will still be deeply rooted in the hearts of China's rulers.
Liu Che extended his gaze forward.
His current mood is actually quite apprehensive.
This was the first major war with the Xiongnu after he ascended the throne, and the outcome of the war can be said to be crucial, and can even directly affect the ******** pattern of the entire Northeast Asia in the coming decades.
Is it civilization that triumphs over barbarism, or is barbarism fighting back against civilization.
Everything can be seen from the results of this battle.
To say that he is not worried is a lie!
But he knows very well that as an emperor, the greatest support he can give to the front-line soldiers is actually to shut up and wait for news from the front.
Whether it is too much interference or even overstepping the command, or jumping up and down, impatiently expressing one's desire for victory will cause unnecessary psychological burden on the soldiers in front.
For such a thing as a war, the emperor obediently stayed in the safe rear and silently did a good job of logistics support for the soldiers at the front.
Even though Liu Che knew this, in his heart, he had many impulses to inquire, and to give orders to the front.
"Sure enough, things in this world are not so simple......" Liu Che once again resisted the urge to give an order to encourage the soldiers ahead. Silently turned around.
He knows very well that the army's biggest enemy is actually ultra vires interference and finger-pointing from the top.
forcibly extinguished his urge to become a general, or even to fight for prestige.
Liu Che walked into a hall that had already been arranged.
Raise your head and look at the huge sand table that is placed here.
On the sand table, a ratio of 10,000 to 1 is used. The entire battlefield in front of him was revealed in front of Liu Che.
In the center is the city of Mayi.
Around the vicinity of Mayi for a radius of 200 miles, it is a war zone.
The villain models representing cavalry and infantry were densely packed on the battlefield within a radius of 200 miles.
More than a dozen Shang Shulang, attendants and generals are surrounding this sand table to deduce the battle situation.
Liu Che stood by and watched, sometimes. When the interest comes, I will also end the game and play a few games with others.
This game of wargaming is the only way to make Liu Che a general and commander now.
Through this game, Liu Che solved his psychological impulses on the one hand, and on the other hand, deepened his understanding of war.
He, of course, understands that trust in the generals at the front is one thing. But if you are stupid, you will believe what others say. It's another story.
The emperor can be a military novice, but he must not be ignorant of war.
Just like in other respects, the emperor can not be proficient, but must have some knowledge of common sense.
……………………………………
At this moment, at the foot of the Great Wall of the distant Daiguo, there are several gates of the fortress that were originally tightly closed. Open all at the moment.
A rolling flag painted with a cute and cute one flutters high inside and outside the Great Wall.
The fine willow camp, according to the agreement, began to get out of the jam.
Under the banner of the Chinese army, more than a dozen men wearing Xiongnu costumes. Riding a horse, following the Wei Chi.
Some of these people are guides sent by Lu Tazhi, some are Xiongnu nobles who were recovered by the Han family in the past, and some have lurked in the deep sea of the Xiongnu for countless years.
These people are now gathered together to provide a reliable guarantee for the advance of the Xiliu Battalion.
In the billowing smoke and dust of the cavalry of the Xiliu Battalion, Wei Chi looked seriously at the simple map he had just drawn in his hand.
The end point of the map is the biggest goal of his trip - the base camp and departure point of the Xiongnu invaders, and the storage point of their logistics and heavy materials - Nanchi.
Wei Chi loudly ordered to the generals on his left and right: "Order the rangers to disperse immediately, clean up all the visible Xiongnu tribes and herdsmen in the path of the army's advance, and do not let the Xiongnu know the route of our march!" ”
In the operation of the Hosoyanagi Battalion, it has always attached the greatest importance to the truncation of the enemy's ability to obtain intelligence.
In such a national war, the work of covering intelligence and information is particularly important!
You know, the Xiliu camp, this time, is going to the hinterland of the Huns, to their lair, to destroy their rear!
Since it is the hinterland, it is the nest, and it is the big rear.
Then, the strength of the Xiongnu will inevitably not be weak.
Even, most likely, there will be countless support forces.
Wei Chi did not want to give the Huns too much warning time.
However, Wei Chi soon realized that he seemed to be wrong.
When the whole army of 15,000 horsemen and nearly 40,000 war horses marched for half a day in this vast grassland, the rangers sent out began to return and reported a terrible thing - they found almost no Xiongnu herdsmen.
This made Wei Chi start to get nervous.
The army has been out of the fortress for so long, and it stands to reason that it is impossible for the Xiongnu tribes outside the fortress to have no reaction.
After all, the whole army of the Xiliu Battalion, including men and horses, stretched for three or four miles on this grassland, and the smoke and dust rolled up should be seen in such a sunny weather, even if it is a hundred miles away.
As long as the Huns were not blind, they would probably send someone to find out.
So, he rode forward, found the guide sent by Lu Tazhi and the meticulous spies of the Han army and asked, "Why haven't the rangers found even a single Xiongnu herdsman so far?" ”
"The general doesn't know, it's August now!" One of the guides replied: "The Xiongnu lived in pursuit of water and grass, and now, most of the tribes that used to graze in the south of the Munan have moved north to the west to chase water and grass!" ”
"Moreover, the Xiongnu land is vast and sparsely populated, and the general cannot see the herdsmen. It's normal, too! ”
The deep sea of the Han army also affirmed this, and said: "Moreover, the Xiongnu have never been attacked by our Han cavalry, and their defense in the south of the curtain is almost none, and even Yu Ting thought in the past. My big man would never dare to send troops outside the fortress! Although in recent years, Shan Yuting has warned and ordered to strengthen patrols at the border, but the Huns have been arrogant for a long time, and the so-called patrols are just for show! ”
Wei Chi was dumbfounded after hearing this.
Before leaving the fortress, he also thought about how to destroy the Hun rangers. Prevent them from delivering messages and alert plans.
Now it seems that it is useless work.
This Hun is so arrogant?
It's unimaginable!
"If this is the case, I am afraid that when our army arrives in Nanchi, the Huns will not be able to discover our army!" Wei Chi thought to himself.
If this is the case, then the Xiongnu tribes and armies in Nanchi will usher in death in unpreparedness.
"This mistake made by the Huns is really unforgivable!" Wei Chi was still a little unconvinced, and he had always regarded the Xiongnu as a great enemy. Imagine everything you want to be as strong as possible.
That knows, just out of the plug. The Huns exposed one of their fatal weaknesses.
This contrast made Wei Chi a little incredulous.
However, three hours later, when Wei Chi's army led the army, they walked on this grassland for almost a whole afternoon.
The army went deep into the heart of the steppe, the lair of the Huns.
But. The rangers in front still didn't find any formed Hun tribes.
However, dozens of hapless herders were captured.
And after interrogation, it was learned that these herdsmen were not even Huns.
They are Ding Lingren, famous thieves and slackers in this grassland.
For a long time, they lived by poaching and stealing the livestock of the Xiongnu tribes.
The capture of these people indirectly proved to Wei Chi. The defense and vigilance of the Huns, weak and terrifying!
Wei Chi would not have known that in another twenty years, when a generation of Tianjiao Huo Qubing came out of the fortress for the first time, he took more than 800 cavalry to eliminate the ancestral worship land of the Xiongnu, the sacred Dragon City, and beheaded dozens of nobles of the Yu Clan, and the number of prisoners was even more than Huo Quai's army.
Even the defense near its core, Dragon City, is nothing but nothing.
And what about other places?
Today's Xiongnu don't believe at all that the Han army has the ability to go on an expedition.
The facts of the past few decades have also proved that the Han army has never acted out of the fortress.
Over time, the Xiongnu up and down all acquiesced to the setting that the Han army would only operate within the Great Wall.
However, since the enemy is so stupid, of course Wei Chi will not learn from Song Xianggong and kindly remind the enemy so that they can be prepared.
He made a quick decision and immediately revised the battle plan.
"Command the whole army, march in the starry night!" Wei Chi issued an order: "Before dawn the day after tomorrow, you must arrive at Nanchi!" ”
"Take advantage of the dawn to attack Nanchi!" He drew the sword on his body: "The world rises and falls, fight here!" ”
As a result, the huge Han army cluster began to accelerate on this grassland.
They were no longer as cautious as before, like a robber who had entered someone else's yard, for fear of waking up their master.
They, now, no longer have any scruples.
The speed of the whole army increased all of a sudden.
Under the guidance of the guide, take advantage of the moonlight to travel on the vast grassland.
The wind blew across the vast land, echoing through the valley.
On the way, several wild wolves who were singing under the moon, when they saw this huge army, were so frightened that they clamped their tails, whimpered, and hid in the bushes and shivered.
………………………………
As the Hosoyanagi battalion began to speed up, moving towards their intended combat destination, day and night.
The vast area of Wuzhou Senai has fallen into a hellish scene.
The brutal Huns, as soon as they entered the areas controlled by the Han Dynasty, became bloodthirsty like madmen.
The craziest is undoubtedly the cavalry of the Zhelan tribe.
They burned and looted all the way, and several villages were burned to the ground.
Fortunately, most of the residents had already taken precautions and hid in the nearby deep mountains and old forests in advance - living in the Han and Hungarian border fortresses at this time, people who were not smart enough would not live long.
However, there were also many old and weak women and children, who did not have time to escape, and fell under the butcher's knife of the Hun cavalry.
Crops, warehouses and houses inside and outside the village were burned to the ground.
"King Zhelan, you're crazy!"
The furious King of Lou Fu went straight to the king of Zhelan, who was in a burning military fortress, frantically leading his subordinates to slaughter, split his head and covered his face, and reprimanded: "These people are all wealth, and they were killed like this by you, and when I return to Shan Yuting, I will definitely sue you in front of Da Shan Yu!" ”
"Hahaha......" King Zhelan lifted a person's head and said with a disdainful face: "King Lou, if you want to sue, go and sue!" For decades, this is how my Zhelan tribe has treated its enemies! ”
"Whether it's the Han Dynasty or the **** of the Western Regions, those who don't submit to my Great Huns should all be damned!" He drank the hot human blood and said madly: "Besides, if you take down the city of Mayi, why worry about having no slaves? ”
"This Han Dynasty is a ...... with many people and endless killings"
"You!" Lou Annoyed Wang's angry head was about to explode.
He felt that he had nothing to say to this madman.
He also understands that even if he goes to sue in front of him, he can't help this madman.
Because, the Zhelan tribe has always been Shan Yu's confidant Hu Yandang's favorite tribe.
The Zhelan tribe and Huyandang have the same smell, these two madmen often echo each other, and they are in love with each other, and it is not a day or two.
"King Zhelan should be a little more restrained......" At this time, the Aries Wang Gu interjected: "Our army is about to march to the city of Mayi, and the combat deployment and preparation must be arranged!" This kind of thing, wait until Ma Yi is broken, let's talk about it! ”
Only then did the king of Zhelan calm down, nodded, took out a Ming Di from his body, and blew it.
Suddenly, within a radius of several miles, the Zhelan cavalry, who were frantically looting and setting fire, began to assemble one after another.
They went from being crazy to being a formidable army.
King Zhelan looked at his army and said triumphantly, "Do you see it?" This is the warrior of my Zhelan tribe, killing people is the first, and fighting is also the first! ”
He lowered his brows, sneered and said to King Lou Fu: "Don't think that our Zhelan tribe is a fool who doesn't understand anything, a brute with muscles!" ”
If it were only brutality and bloodthirstiness, the Zhelan tribe would have died out in the war.
In fact, this tribe has a pathological madness, but it also has a completely different side.
When the order is issued, their madness and bloodthirstiness will become a different state.
They are the most disciplined and united tribe among the Xiongnu tribes.
The average Hun cavalry, as long as the casualty rate reaches 20%, will lose the will to fight and collapse.
But the Zhelan tribe once reached half of the casualties on the battlefield, and did not collapse, but launched an even more frantic attack on their enemy, and finally, engulfed that enemy in their own crazy bite.
Since then, no Huns have dared to despise this tribe.
"Let's go!" King Zhelan mounted his horse and said to the King of Aries and the King of Loufu: "Let's go to Yin Zhixian to discuss the siege of the city!" ”
Even for the Huns, warfare, especially siege, was an extremely complex and rigorous job.
It needs to have clans as a guard force on the perimeter to prevent surprise attacks by enemy reinforcements.
Someone also needed to act as the main force in the siege.
It is even more necessary to enclose the city to be attacked, the plains and wilderness within a radius of dozens of miles.
In desperation and isolation, the will to resist of the defenders was finally destroyed.
And these tasks undoubtedly need to be discussed very closely in order to facilitate the distribution of their respective tasks.
It also needs strong execution to make every force of every tribe appear where it should be. (To be continued.) )
PS: That's it for today~ I want to think about the process of fighting, well, next, it will be a great war between Han and Hungary.
I'm going to write well and try to write with a taste!
