"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if the Huns don't move, they will be trapped!" After looking at the map for a while, the old general Luan Bu said: "Please Your Majesty immediately send the police to Su Fei, the county guard of Yanmen, and Sun Yan, the county lieutenant!" ”

Luan Bu is currently the oldest general of the Han family.

He is also the last remaining living fossil that has witnessed the alternation of the Qin and Han dynasties.

In the past two years, Luan Bu has been existing as Liu Che's military staff and think tank.

The establishment of the Andong Protectorate and the planning of the defense area were the hands of this old general.

"The minister also thought that the Huns should be able to go to Mayi!" Zhou Yafu also said.

After thinking for a moment, Li Ji and Han Yudang also nodded in agreement with this judgment.

Listening to what the generals said, Liu Che looked at the mountains and rivers on the map and asked, "How did the prime minister and the rank generals judge that the Xiongnu would definitely go to Mayi and enter Yanmen?" ”

To be reasonable, in fact, breaking through the defense line in the clouds and returning to the middle road is a greater threat to the Han family.

After all, as long as the Yunzhong defense line is lost, the ancient Huizhong Road will inevitably fall into the hands of the Huns, and when the time comes, the Xiongnu will follow the Huizhong Road and threaten the heart of China - Guanzhong.

"Your Majesty, the Huns will not go to the clouds!" Luan Bu said with a smile: "The soldiers he used are only the troops of Aries, Lou Fu, and Zhelan, and they can't break through the defense line in the clouds!" ”

Zhou Yafu also nodded with a smile and said, "What Yu Hou said, that's exactly the case!" ”

"And Your Majesty doesn't know, if the Huns go south this time, if it weren't for the three tribes of White Sheep, Lou Fu and Zhelan, maybe they might even enter the Kou from the clouds!" Han Yudang also said: "But since it is these three, then it must go to Mayi." Enter the Kouyan Gate! ”

Liu Che still didn't understand a little and asked, "Why are you so sure?" ”

After all. Theoretically, the Xiongnu could even go to the right Beiping. entered Dingxiang, ravaged the Yan Kingdom, and even cut off the connection between the Andong Protectorate and China.

But that would be more than worth the cost.

Youbeiping is as poor as Shangjun, and the Huns estimate that they can't even grab forage for livestock!

"Your Majesty doesn't know, this white sheep, Lou Fu and Zhelan are old friends with me!" Li Ji said with a smile: "If you know who the Xiongnu tribe is who is coming, the ministers can't guess which way they want to go, then." Ministers are not worthy of being generals! ”

"Although it is said that soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent, but the tactics used by their generation cannot be changed!"

Zhou Yafu said: "Your Majesty doesn't know, over the years, Aries and Lou Fu have entered the Kou five times, and three times have taken the route of Mayi and Yanmen. As for Nazhelan, he entered the Kou three times, and all three times he entered Yanmen from Mayi! ”

Liu Che listened and nodded. There is no longer any doubt about the judgment of the generals.

After all, they have been dealing with the Huns for decades, and it can be described as a pouting of the Huns. You can guess what they're going to do!

Probably to those tribes of the West. The Han family knows very little.

But can this old friend who often deals with them still not know the nature of their urine?

It's like. Later generations of Chinese troops may not understand the daily behavior of the Third and Fifth Fleets of the Mi Di.

But the Seventh Fleet, as long as it leaves the port, can basically guess their route and formation method.

This white sheep and Lou Fu, Zhelan and other tribes, and the Han army came and went, falling in love and killing each other for decades.

Each other has already used their blood and lives to find out each other's habits and methods of warfare.

An experienced general could even guess which tribe they belonged to from the way the Hun cavalry formed and the way they wielded their whips and drew their bows.

Liu Che then focused his gaze on the surroundings of Ma Yi City.

Mayi, as a city, is still very young.

The city was founded in the Qin Dynasty and was built by Meng Tian, a general of the Qin army.

Meng Tian's initial goal in establishing Mayi City was actually just to build a larger fence to facilitate horse breeding.

This is where the name of the Mai comes from.

After the death of Qin, because of the rise of the Xiongnu, Mayi became one of the focal points of contention between the Han and the Huns.

There are even more wars in Mayi than in the clouds.

Even the source of the famous Battle of Heijo was caused by Mayi.

In 200 BC, in the seventh year of Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty, the main force of the Xiongnu under the leadership of Mao Dun besieged the capital of Han Wangxin, Mayi.

Han Wangxin couldn't resist, and he was afraid that Liu Bang would investigate the matter between himself and the Xiongnu, so he turned his heart to the Xiongnu, surrendered to the Xiongnu, and took the initiative to lead the way for the Xiongnu soldiers, so that they could capture Yanmen, Jinyang and Taiyuan all the way.

The Xiongnu soldiers pointed directly at Guanzhong and Yan Zhao.

When Liu Bang heard the news, he immediately mobilized all the forces of the Han army and went north to resist.

Under the command of Liu Bang, the Han army was like a bamboo, first won the battle of Tongyu, beheaded Han Wangxin's general Wang Xi, and then defeated the combined army of Han Wangxin and the Xiongnu in Taiyuan, and then won a decisive victory against the Xiongnu at Panshi.

After recovering Taiyuan, Jinyang, and Panshi, there was a decisive battle in Pingcheng after that.

The Battle of Pingcheng was not so much an ambush as an ambush for Maudun, but rather a decisive battle with the Han army here.

If Maudun gives up Pingcheng, then he will have to go back to the grassland.

Therefore, since the founding of the Han Dynasty, the grievances and grievances with the Xiongnu have also originated from Mayi.

In history, the reason why Ma Yi was selected as a bait for the Ma Yi strategy of Emperor Wu Dynasty was also because the temptation and confusion of Ma Yi City to the Huns was not ordinarily large.

This city, exposed outside the Great Wall, has been filled with the blood of Han and Hungarian soldiers for decades.

"Sure enough, history still has its inevitable inertia?" Liu Che thought in his heart: "Starting from Mayi, it will end from Mayi!" ”

Thinking like this, Liu Che made a decision!

"General!" Liu Che looked at Dou Ying: "Please take the festival immediately, send the Flying Fox Army with the tiger talisman, go north, and sneak to the sentence note!" ”

The sentence note is the ancient name of Yanmen Pass.

"No!" Dou Ying was ordered.

"Prime Minister!" Liu Che then ordered: "Immediately order the Xiliu Battalion to pull out the camp and go north to Taiyuan to stand by!" ”

Let the Xiliu battalion go to Taiyuan to stand by, this is to prepare, in case the Huns go to the clouds.

Stationed in Taiyuan. Whether the Xiliu Battalion is supporting Yunzhong or Yanmen, it can rush to the battlefield in the fastest time.

Originally. Three years ago, this was an impossible option.

But. Today's Xiliu Battalion has changed from an infantry regiment in the past to the first professional pure cavalry unit of the Han Army.

There are more than 10,000 people in the whole army, all of them are cavalry!

"No!" Zhou Yafu was also ordered to worship.

"Re-enactment of the edict, ordered Beidi County, Longyou County, all Beidi knights, immediately mobilized, with Wei Wei Guang as a light cavalry general, commanding Longyou and Beidi knights. Garrison troops in the Chaonasai! ”

"No!" Li Guang immediately came out of the column and bowed his head happily.

This guard lieutenant, he didn't want to do it for a long time!

For Li Guang, it is still the side plug that is more suitable for him.

He couldn't wait to return to the border of the Great Wall to pursue the life of the Golden Iron Horse.

Liu Che looked at the map, if the Huns really invaded Mayi.

Then this time Li Guang estimates that he will play soy sauce again.

The reason is very simple, Chaonasai is the fortress of the back to the middle road, and it is the key to guarding the gateway to Guanzhong.

As long as the Huns can't break through Yunzhong or Yanmen, he will probably have to watch the play in the rear.

But there is a reason for this.

Knights of the Northland and cavalry now in Longyou and the Northland. They have only started training in the last two or three years, and they are all new recruits.

The cavalry that was originally in Beidi and Longyou has now entered the five major field corps of the Great Wall and the Han Army.

As for those Northland knights. Although they are all elites, they are also an important combat force of the Han army.

But in the end, it is a reserve, and the run-in is insufficient. If you want to rush into battle, it is obvious that you will suffer.

Send Li Guang over. It is hoped that Li Guang can take advantage of this opportunity to sharpen and integrate the recruits and knights of the Northland and Longyou. Strive to bring out a new standing army.

In this way, the Han army will be able to have six main forces that can be called upon in the future, can fight when they come, and will win in battle.

Liu Che quietly made an arithmetic problem in his heart.

At present, the Juzhu army stationed at Yanmen Pass has almost 7,000 cavalry, in addition to about 7,000 foot soldiers.

Not long ago, the Flying Fox Army expanded the cavalry and infantry to 5,000 people, and the infantry was about 17,000.

As the number one trump card of the Han army, the Xiliu Battalion currently has more than 12,000 cavalry.

These three trump cards add up to nearly 50,000 total combat strength!

Among them, about half of the cavalry, about 25,000.

This is pure combat strength!

In ancient times, it was often seen that so-and-so bragged and said: Labor and management bring a million!

But in fact, if you look closely, you can find that it is only two or three hundred thousand to die.

Among these 230,000 people, there are only 20,000 or 30,000 people who are the pillars of the real battle and the elites who charge into battle.

Generally, the twenty or thirty thousand main forces that defeated him, and the male lions with a million armor will immediately collapse.

This is true even for the nomads of the north.

What to blow the control strings 400,000!

The total number of beheadings in Huo Quai's and Wei Qing's careers adds up to about eighty or ninety thousand.

Then the Huns collapsed, shrunk their heads into Mobei, and refused to come out to find death.

This white sheep, Lou Fu, Zhelan, the three tribes combined, there may be about 100,000 men in total.

However, those who really went into battle only survived 30,000!

Others, waving flags and shouting and grabbing things, are qualified.

But if you want to charge, it is estimated that you are not halfway through, and you will be scared to pee your pants!

With 50,000 to 30,000, after deducting the foot soldiers, the cavalry strength of the two sides has been equalized.

But Liu Che still felt that it was not safe.

After all, although the cavalry Han army had an advantage in equipment, the experience and tactical advantage were on the side of the Huns.

This battle was the first confrontation between Han and Hungary since Liu Che ascended the throne.

It can be said that victory is not allowed to lose!

Liu Che must ensure that he is the true son of heaven who has gone from one victory to another, and the god king who has been granted the power of the king!

"Order Yu Linwei and Hu Benwei, each with a thousand horsemen, from the southern army and the northern army to draw three thousand horsemen each, with Dongcheng Houyi as the hussar general, and immediately enter the Wuzhou Sai near Mayi!" Liu Che decisively put a chip on the balance of victory and defeat that was enough to decide the outcome of the victory.

Yu Linwei and Hu Benwei have always been Liu Che's teaching group.

These two guards have now expanded in size to 5,000 people.

It's already a veritable army, not just a guard.

Zhang Tang went to Nanyang and took a few hundred people with him, and Yizong went to Yunzhong and took more than 2,000 people.

But what they took away is not the real essence.

This time, the cavalry sent out by Liu Che is the absolute trump card that he values and relies on in the future - cuirassiers!

Yu Lin Wei and Hu Ben Wei are now a total of 2,000 cuirassiers.

Even, the whole world, now there are only 2,000 cuirassiers.

They began to gradually change their breastplates last year, and now, they have been in Shanglin Yuan, and have been training for wall charging for nearly ten months.

With their joining, Liu Che was already relieved about the victory or defeat of the war.

Although, the key to determining the outcome of a war lies in people.

However, it is impossible for a spiritual atomic bomb to capture a position covered with barbed wire and machine guns with bare hands.

Cuirassiers, for today's world, are an unsolvable bug.

They want speed and speed, and they want defense and defense.

The bronze arrows and bronze spears of the Huns did not threaten the cuirassiers at all.

Plus 6,000 elite cavalry drawn from the northern and southern armies.

The force commanded by the Yizong, Liu Che believed, would inevitably surprise the Huns on the battlefield, and even knelt down and called Dad.

After the army was mobilized, Liu Che began to discuss and agree on the operational deployment with the generals.

"Although I don't know about the military, I also know that war must have a purpose!" Liu Che said to the generals: "In this battle, I have only one purpose: to eat all the invading Hun soldiers, so that the world will know that those who commit crimes against strong men will make the heavens urgent!" ”

Liu Che's statement made the generals more and more excited.

Destroying Yidi and using their heads to show their exploits and martial arts is a holy line praised by poetry and books, and a great cause praised by the previous kings!

The poetry of Nanzhong has been praised by people to this day.

Obviously, if such a great cause can really be accomplished, then, in the future history, everyone's status will naturally be the same as that of the NANZHONG, and will be admired by future generations.

However, it is not so easy to eat the three tribes invaded by the Huns.

Before Mayi, there were more than 100 miles of plains and mountains.

So, once the Huns found out that something was wrong, they might run away.

Moreover, even if the Huns really came to the city of Mayi, it would be very difficult to completely destroy them in a frontal battle.

Li Ji and Han Rongdang have a deep understanding of this.

The two of them had dealt with the Huns almost all their lives.

It is very clear that the methods of the Huns and the difficulties of those three old friends.

But since the Son of Heaven has set the tone of the battle, then a wise courtier will never go against the tune.

What's more, everyone is still very confident now.

The popularization of stirrups, saddles and horseshoes allowed the Han cavalry, in terms of tactics and combat effectiveness, to be at least one era ahead of the Huns.

Although it has not been tested in actual combat, judging from the friction of the past few years, the current Han army, in terms of combat effectiveness and firepower, has completely surpassed the Huns.

Therefore, the requirements of the Son of Heaven are not unattainable. (To be continued.) )
