【Chapter 578】 Ambush the soldiers until they are defeated like a mountain
Boom - Kill!
A mountain of rumbling and killing sounds reached Fu Luo's ears, which made his heart tremble, and he quickly came back to his senses in shock.
raised his eyes to look, but saw that the three Han generals rode their horses and raised their troops to slash and kill the personal guards under their command, and now they were only more than ten steps away from him, and they were about to kill him. Suddenly, Yu Fuluo's expression changed suddenly, and he could no longer care about the old king of the Huns, so he got up and turned over his horse. Then he reined in his horse and turned around, and quietly turned his horse away, as if he had turned around and ran away when he saw that the situation was not good.
At this moment, Yu Fuluo seemed to forget that he was the commander of the army, and he was entrusted with the lives of hundreds of thousands of troops, and the success or failure of the battle to capture Beidi County in Liangzhou was in one fell swoop. He even forgot that the initiator of this battle was himself, and the reason why he united his troops to invade Liangzhou was not just as simple as plundering, but also shouldered a very important mission.
However, when this beautiful original intention collided with his own life, Yu Fuluo did not hesitate to choose to flee for his life. In other words, preserving his life comes first in his heart, and nothing else matters.
Therefore, when he felt that his life was threatened, his first reaction was not to lead the crowd to fight bravely, nor to try his best to save the defeat, but to turn around and flee quickly.
At this time, Yu Fuluo no longer fantasized about being able to defeat the Xiliang army head-on, nor did he expect to capture Chiyang City, and he did not have the heart to avenge the old king of the Huns, and the top priority in front of him was to flee for his life.
A small halberd can send the old king of the Huns who is over sixty years old to the Yellow Spring, who can guarantee that no second halberd suddenly flew to plunder his life in Yufuluo?
You must know that the old king of the Xiongnu is not an ordinary Xiongnu general, nor is he a weak and incompetent old man, but the oldest and most respected tribal patriarch of the Southern Xiongnu tribe, whose identity is equivalent to that of the Han Zongzheng. This old guy was also one of the few warriors in the tribe when he was young, and he had a long reputation in the entire Southern Xiongnu tribe, and he went through four generations of Xiongnu Shan Yu. Respected.
In addition, the old king of the Xiongnu was also a key figure in Yu Fuluo's return to the Xiongnu territory to succeed Shan Yu. As long as he can win his support, Yu Fuluo can rightfully inherit Shan Yu, take charge of hundreds of thousands of Southern Xiongnu people, take over more than 100,000 tribal controllers, and become a powerful force not weaker than the princes of the Central Plains. Perhaps under the leadership of Yu Fuluo, the Southern Xiongnu will have the opportunity to enter the Central Plains and further expand the territory of the Xiongnu in the future, and then he will become the most wise and martial Shan Yu of the Southern Xiongnu in the past 100 years, leaving a name for all generations.
It's a pity that this qiē died on the spot with the old king of the Huns. Instantly came to naught, Yu Fuluo's long-awaited return to the tribe to inherit Shan Yu ran aground again, and he missed a great opportunity in vain. However, these things are really insignificant compared to one's own life, and if you can't even save your life. What does it have to do with him alone?
The reason why Yu Fuluo, who has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, has been able to survive until now is because of his quick reaction ability to judge the situation. When the opportunity is not good, he immediately dodges and leaves. Thirty thousand Xianbei iron horsemen could not stop the Han general's charge. In less than half an hour, he was defeated by the Han cavalry and fled for his life in all directions, what a strong combat effectiveness!
Coupled with the shouts of killing that resounded in the sky from the rear of the army, Yu Fuluo didn't need to deliberately look back, he knew that he and the army had been tricked, and he was ambushed by the Han army in advance. Caught between the front and back, the defeat was decided.
In the flash of light, Yu Fuluo didn't have to think about it, and turned around without stopping for a moment. Directly rushed into the Hun war cavalry formation, hid in the army, and stayed away from the three Han generals.
The gentleman does not stand under the wall, this truth is not only known to the Han people, but Yu Fuluo is also well versed in the three flavors. Over the years, he has turned danger into danger countless times and retreated with his whole body, relying not on how brave the Hun warriors were, nor how effective the soldiers under his command were, not because of his own bravery, but on his instinctive reaction to danger and his incomparably sensitive absconding speed.
"The thief chief is gone, take your life!"
Just now, a halberd failed to kill Yu Fuluo's Dian Wei, and while fighting, he kept an eye on Yu Fuluo's movements. Therefore, the moment Yu Fu Luo fled with his horse, he was discovered by Dian Wei, and immediately he shouted violently, turned left and right, and went straight to Yu Fu Luo, who fled in panic.
"Still stunned, hurry up and stop him and kill the dog!"
At first hearing the sound of chasing behind him, Yu Fu's whip flew and his escape speed became faster and faster. At the same time, he sharply reprimanded a group of distracted soldiers and Xiongnu generals, and ordered them to intercept Dian Wei and rush into battle.
It is true that the pro-guards and the Southern Xiongnu generals who were guarding Yu Luo's left and right were dumbfounded at this moment. At the beginning of the war, the strong and brave offensive of the Han army's iron cavalry had already made them dumbfounded, disbelievably stunned, and timid; Then the old king of the Huns died suddenly, which made the Hun generals even more frightened, and the six gods had no master. Now the Chinese army is still there, the army is not chaotic, but the commander Yu Fuluo turned around and ran, which caught many barbarian generals off guard, their thinking was short-circuited, and their minds were blank, and they were at a loss.
They couldn't figure it out anyway, the Han army was weak, and they had been shrinking into the city for a month and didn't dare to go out of the city to face the battle, why did the gods fall from the sky overnight, and there were Han troops inside and outside the city?
Seeing the iron cavalry of the Han army in front of him, he rushed fiercely and broke through the Xianbei battle formation in an instant, and the Hun cavalry guarding the Chinese army was terrified inexplicably. In addition, the Han army, which was crowded with people behind him, stabbed two stabs from the back of the army, and the two wings were defeated; Then there was Yu Furo who turned his head and ran. All this prompted a group of barbarian generals to kill the enemy without intention, and their fighting spirit was completely lost, and their first reaction was to flee, just like the coach Yu Fuluo who immediately "retreated" when he saw a bad opportunity.
In an instant, Yu Furo fled on the front foot, and a group of barbarian generals followed, also without saying a word, and ran back to his horse. So much so that thousands of barbarian soldiers were about to rush forward to kill, but they found that the generals were nowhere to be found, and then turned their heads to investigate, and saw their respective generals fleeing in panic with the commander Yu Fuluo.
The commander and the generals have run away, what about the soldiers?
Da Da Da - Boom!
Suddenly, more than 40,000 cavalry of the Chinese army, which had not yet participated in the battle, turned their horses from the front to the rear, and scrambled to turn their horses and "retreat". The barbarian soldiers on both wings who were being attacked by the Jin Liwei Iron Cavalry and the county government soldiers were not stunned, and seeing that the Chinese army was in chaos, how could they sit idly by? Immediately, thousands of infantry troops on both flanks rushed towards the rear camp, running at an extremely fast speed, and the speed of retreat was even faster than that of the chaotic Chinese cavalry. The soldiers on both wings were infantry. If they charged, they would naturally not be as fast as the cavalry, but if the army retreated, it was not known who was fast and who was slow.
A two-legged man naturally does not run as fast as a four-legged war horse, but this is the result of normal circumstances. If the horses are crowded together, blocking the front and hugging the back, then it's a different story. The infantry moves flexibly, and can get into the gap when they see it, and then throw away the burden of their whole body and run wildly. In this way, the infantry ran faster than the cavalry. Walking like flying, you can run more than 100 steps in the blink of an eye, and quickly get out of the battlefield.
――――――――――――
"Hahaha!" Just when the hundreds of thousands of barbarian troops were defeated and fled for their lives, hearty laughter sounded on the tower of the north gate.
Immediately, the figures of Li Li, Dian Wuflawless and Ma Yunluo appeared at the head of the city, and Lu Su, who was in charge of staying in the city, stood beside Li Li. The same laughter, the joy is indescribable.
Look down on the hundreds of thousands of barbarian troops in chaos under the city. Dian Flawless is overjoyed. Xiao Yingying said: "The hundreds of thousands of barbarian troops seem to be outnumbered, strong and strong, menacing, but they are actually a group of rabble!" 30,000 Xianbei iron cavalry, more than 45,000 Xiongnu cavalry, and 7,000 Qiang cavalry. There are nearly 100,000 people on war horses alone, plus 50,000 white wave thieves, and a mighty army of 150,000, and now it is so vulnerable! ”
"What my sister said is very true." Ma Yunluo echoed: "These barbarian troops look fierce and fierce on the surface. The body is burly and strong, with a strong crossbow scimitar, and a skilled bow and horse, but in fact it is a group of fierce and ruthless people. If you encounter cowardly people or fearful Han troops, these barbarian armies will become more and more brave and ferocious, and they will look like they are not afraid of death; However, when they encounter a man or army that is braver and more fierce than them, they are also afraid of death, and run faster than rabbits. This was true not only of the Xiongnu, but also of Xianbei, Wuhuan and Qianghu. ”
After hearing this, Lu Su nodded happily, and said with feeling: "On weekdays, these barbarians loot the villages and towns of the Han Dynasty, burn, kill and rob all kinds of evil, and they are not ashamed but proud, and they have long been accustomed to it, as if they are natural and righteous to do so, and they were born to do so. Correspondingly, in the past two years, my brother has acquiesced in the initiative of our army to plunder the barbarian tribes, but he is not liked by the scribes and scholars, as if we are doing this against the sky, and we are not less criticized in private.
For three hundred years, the people of our Han Dynasty are no longer the Han people of the Han Wu period. Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the people and the court have enjoyed peace for too long, the scholars are strong and pampered, the people yearn for peace, and the dignitaries and superiors treat foreign races with generosity and benevolence, and try to educate Fanbang with leniency and Confucianism. As everyone knows, our policy of gentleness and leniency is pedantic and cowardly in the eyes of the barbarians, so they will plunder the Han realm after the autumn harvest, burn and plunder on a large scale, and run rampant. Once our dynasty sent troops to conquer and suppress, they bowed down to their vassals, and after our Han army retreated, they still acted recklessly, endlessly harassing our Han territory and the people of Li.
Since ancient times, the strong have been respected, whether it is gentle and benevolent, or strong suppression, first of all, we must be strong enough to deter the small. Otherwise, a qiē mercy in the eyes of Fanbang is cowardly and deceitful, these brave and ruthless barbarians never believe that there is mercy in the world, they only advocate force, and there is no way to talk about education. Therefore, I agree with the strategy adopted by my brother, if you want to completely educate the Fanbang, you must first beat them to the ground, dare not resist and have no power to resist, and then apply Confucianism to appease them, and so on! ”
Hearing Lu Su's words, Li Li turned his head to look at him in surprise, and said with a smile: "Zijing's words really impressed me, and I was quite surprised. I originally thought that Zijing was from Jianghuai Water Town, and he was born in the scholar clan, so he should also be lenient and gentle towards the foreign races of Fanbang. Unexpectedly, Zijing had insight into the world, had a unique eye, and saw the pros and cons of the policies of Fanbang around my Han Dynasty clearly, and his unique insights were really rare. ”
In the laughter and conversation, Li Li said calmly: "Speaking from my heart, I never discriminate against any race, as long as all races can coexist in harmony, I do not exclude all races from coexisting in the world." However, I have always adhered to the words of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: Those who offend my Han will be punished even if they are far away. Our Han people have never been bullies, and our Yanhuang land is not a state of reckless military and murderous nature, we love peace and yearn for a peaceful and prosperous world. However, we should always have a sense of danger in our hearts, enrich the people and strengthen the army, and if we encounter any provocation or aggression, we will inevitably strike a thunderous blow and make them surrender or annihilate. In this northern expedition, it is imperative to pacify the northern frontier. Second, the northern barbarians have been evil for a long time, and since we have the ability to recover our homeland, we will never allow the barbarians to run rampant, and we will eliminate the evil and wipe out all the alien races in the northern Xinjiang in one fell swoop! ”
Lu Su nodded happily, and then said thoughtfully: "What my brother said is very true. However, the current situation of our army is not optimistic, in addition to the temporary worry-free in the Western Regions around the border, there is also Hanzhong Zhang Lu peeping on the side in the south, and the Central Plains in the east is eyeing the tiger, and the war in the north is ongoing. If our army takes too long to pacify the northern frontier this time. The loss of troops is too great, and once the war breaks out in the Central Plains, it will be extremely unfavorable to our army. There is another crucial factor that we have to pay attention to, and that is that although we have a lot of money in our hands, we have a sudden outbreak of war. I haven't been able to exchange money for food. In this way, once the war is protracted. Then our army will face pressure on food and grass again. I am afraid that there is a shortage of food and grass. ”
Li Li bowed his head slightly and said with a smile: "Zijing is extremely worried. However, I have already planned the matter of grain and grass, and I believe that it will be clear within half a month. If the plan is successful, even if our army does not use its property, it can guarantee that there will be no shortage of food and grass within half a year; If we can't plan, then we can only come out of the nest. Quick! ”
"Oh, brother, did you have a plan?" Lu Su was surprised when he heard this, and asked in a low voice, "I don't know where the grain and grass come from?" Could it be that the elder brother really wants to borrow grain from the Zhen family to fight the war, and then slowly repay the Zhen family after the war? ”
"The Zhen family? Hehehe! Li Li shook his head slightly. chuckled: "Although the Zhen family has a large amount of grass, it can indeed solve the urgent need, but it is not enough to support the needs of hundreds of thousands or even two or three hundred thousand troops. After all, the Zhen family is a merchant family, and they never do loss-making transactions, and if it is really good to borrow or repay, they must pay a certain price. What's more, the reason why I value the Zhen family is not to seek the Zhen family's money and food, but to borrow the Zhen family's commercial channels all over the world to drive the circulation of goods in Xiliang states, so as to drive the commercial development of Xiliang and improve the living conditions of the people. Therefore, unless I have to do it as a last resort, I will not borrow food from the Zhen family, let alone take it by force. Otherwise, why would I go to great lengths to move the Zhen family to Chang'an, wouldn't it be more convenient to snatch it directly? ”
Lu Su bowed his head in approval, and said softly: "What my brother said is very true, and this is where the foolish brother worries. The princes of any way cannot rely on a certain big family or businessman, just like Lü Buwei in the pre-Qin period, it is easy to borrow and not to repay, so that in the end, the tail is too big to fall, and the disaster is Xiao Wall. ”
Speaking of this, Lu Su asked curiously and in a low voice, "I don't know how my brother can solve the dilemma of our army's shortage of food and grass?" ”
"Princes!" Li Li said two words with a smile, then smiled silently, and turned his head to look at the battlefield under the city.
――――――――――――――――
Knock knock!
At the head of Chiyang City, the war drums rumbled, and the three strong wrestlers threw off their arms and beat the war drums on three sides to the sky, and the sound shook all directions.
"Hugh will let go of the thief chief Yufro, kill!"
On the battlefield under the city, the double halberd in Dian Wei's hand opened and closed, raised his voice and shouted, taking the lead, always staring at Yu Fuluo's voice and shadow, chasing after him. Behind him, Zhang Liao and Xu Chu were neck and neck, both of them were good at using long-handled broadswords, the knives were vertical and horizontal, and there was a red ground within more than ten steps around him, and no one could stop him.
The two armies totaled more than 200,000 people, and if they relied solely on the strength of the three generals Dian Wei, Zhang Liao, and Xu Chu, even if they had the courage of ten thousand people, it would be useless. Therefore, the 20,000 Tiger Battalion Iron Cavalry and 5,000 Golden Guards who followed them, plus more than 10,000 county soldiers led by Zhou Yu were the main offensive force on the frontal battlefield.
After defeating 30,000 Xianbei cavalry in one fell swoop, with Dian Wei, Zhang Liao, and Xu Chu as the arrowheads, and Zhou Yu as the main general of the Chinese army, he led an army of 40,000 to chase and fight fiercely, and rushed into the camp of Yu Fuluo's Chinese army. On the rear flanks of more than 100,000 barbarian troops, Hu Che'er led 10,000 Jin Qiwei to fiercely charge and kill more than 30,000 infantry troops on the left flank of the barbarian army, and Cao Xing, Liang Xing and other generals led more than 30,000 county soldiers to attack the right wing of the Qiang cavalry enemy formation, and then 5,000 crossbow battalion soldiers seized the commanding heights and shot accurately. Among the 100,000 Xiliang troops in Beidi County, a total of 90,000 soldiers were put into the battlefield to fight, flanking back and forth, catching the barbarian army by surprise, rushing for their lives, and crushing into the army.
If the 90,000 Xiliang army and the more than 100,000 barbarian army face each other head-on and rush head-on, it is difficult to predict who will win or lose. After all, the barbarian army has more than 80,000 war horses, especially good at field battles, and in the frontal battle, only the barbarian war horses are enough for the Xiliang army to drink a pot; Then there are 40,000 white wave thieves under the command of Fu Luo with bows and crossbows to help. Such a majestic division, even if the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers is not as good as that of the Xiliang Army, but it is superior to the number of people, and it is still unknown who will win and who will lose in the frontal charge.
However, Yu Fuluo, as the commander of the army, was afraid of the tragic death of the old king of the Huns. It doesn't matter if he escapes, what matters is that the commander of the Chinese army retreats with him; The flag bearer is a trusted general under his command, so he naturally looks at him everywhere, and seeing him turn around and flee for his life, the commander of the Chinese army quickly retreats after him.
On the battlefield where hundreds of thousands of troops are gathered together, the Chinese army's Yufu Luo Shuai Banner is a big pole of the coalition army, a banner that leads the soldiers of the whole army to advance and retreat. Seeing that the Chinese army's Southern Xiongnu cavalry was in chaos, the commander Daxu retreated, and the soldiers and horses on both wings immediately collapsed and scattered when they were faced with strong troops in front and pursued after them, and they fled for their lives.
As a result, the two wings of the barbarian army were scattered, the Chinese army was chaotic, and the Xiliang army took advantage of the situation to attack, attacking back and forth, like a bamboo, and beating hundreds of thousands of barbarian troops to pieces and fragments. Then, with Dian Wei, Zhang Liao and Xu Chusan, the three generals followed behind Fu Luo and chased after him, as if Yu Fu Luo was the arrow that completely tore apart the battle formation of the barbarian army.
When Yu Fuluo rushed out of the Chinese army and fled straight to the rear camp in one breath, the Xiliang army officially cut through the barbarian camp, and the frontal attacking Tiger Camp joined up with the Jin Qiwei war cavalry that was sneaking up behind, and then slaughtered the Chinese army to the two wings, wantonly killing the barbarian army who fled for their lives; It's really exciting, and this head-to-head battle is already in hand.
