Chapter 45 The North Drives Donghu

Zhang He was leading the troops to gallop to the east at this time, according to the people assigned by Gongsun Zhan's message, he was mainly responsible for outflanking from the west, and now, after a month's time, his subordinates have also become light cavalry, some of the elite are one person and two horses, a few days ago also supplemented a part of the new army, and now the governor has five thousand horsemen and three thousand servants to ride, and three thousand servants are composed of the Donghu tribes.

Not all the Donghu people were going to die, and some obedient ones were taken in, and their children were moved to the left side of the border city, and pastures were assigned to serve as the Great Han Ping Domain.

Originally, Gongsun Chan planned to sneak attack the Wuhuan camp, but he was discovered halfway, with a golden eagle in the sky to warn, and after learning that the Wuhuan people had gathered 100,000 troops, Gongsun Chan immediately mobilized troops and horses, and quickly rushed to the east of the water to set up traps, just to completely annihilate this Wuhuan army.

Although Wuhuan has 400,000 capable warriors, but these days have weakened, at least tens of thousands have been reimbursed, after screening, the three Han armies have taken in some servant troops, and there are more than 10,000 horsemen in general.

At present, the overall strength of the Han army has reached more than 20,000, and some of the supplementary Han army recruits can fight after a few days of training.

In addition, the servant army basically has 40,000 soldiers and horses, and in the face of 100,000 Wuhuan, it is enough to fight.

The Wuhuan people did not gather 100,000 horsemen to come together, if they had this ability, the Han army would not be able to use only 100 people to act outside the fortress.

After the small group of Wuhuan people was summoned, they came in detachments, and at this time they were all assembling towards a goal, and each department had its own camp, which was still far away, which gave each of them a chance to break through.

The three Han armies have golden eagles to explore, at dawn, Zhang He noticed a Wuhuan camp in front, looking at the terrain ahead, it is a good terrain, his own side is on the slope, the other party is under the slope, at this time the other party also found that the two teams of cavalry under the leadership of the commanders of both sides, parallel forward, this up and down caused a gap in range, but with Zhang He's general bonus, the range advantage of the Han cavalry is more obvious, basically at the beginning is an obvious one-sided slaughter, when the distance between the two teams is slightly closer, Sporadic casualties began to appear on Zhang He's side, but the exchange ratio was still huge.

The Wuhuan people were just a wave, and they completely buried the army of more than 5,000 people, Zhang He occupied the advantage of the number of troops, and the main general of the other party was stabbed off the horse with just one move, Zhang He then commanded the troops to completely annihilate the Wuhuan people, and roughly counted it, the loss on his side was less than three hundred, of which two hundred were servant rides.

His battle was already very close to the Wuhuan camp, and at this time Badun had already engaged the Han army, and the Han army that had been pursuing it was finally caught up last night, on a hillside not far away.

On the front of the hillside, just as the Wuhuan people spent a lot of money to break through the trap area and prepare to start the pursuit of the Han army, and then the Wuhuan people were surprised to find that a Han cavalry appeared on the hillside not far to the west, and the number seemed to be more than the pursuing Han army, more than 5,000.

At this time, the east also got the news that a Han army of more than 5,000 horsemen was approaching, and on the front, a Han army of more than 10,000 horsemen had already reached the top of the hillside first.

Badun knew that there was a big trouble, and the Han army probably rested for the night and waited until dawn before starting the raid, and last night, the Wuhuan people had been chasing the Han army, catching up, but also to the trap.

Without waiting for him to react, the flame-colored torrent of the Han army erupted, looking at the surrounding terrain, he was bitter in his mouth, he knew that the trouble was big, at this time, the Wuhuan people were defenseless, 100,000 troops, what do they need to guard against?

However, the cavalry had no speed and no defense, and in the face of the cavalry's surprise attack, and the opponent was less than two miles away from him, he was condescending.

Gongsun Chan took the lead, as soon as he entered the range, he raised his bow, and a red light flew out, and the extremely fast arrow made the red light appear particularly slender, as if it was an illusion in vision, and in the eyes of the target, that little red light was rapidly expanding, just like the morning sun at this time.

Although Gongsun Chan is not known for his bow and arrow, but among the generals of the Han army, his bow and arrow skills are also in the forefront, bow and arrow is a technique that needs to be practiced for a long time, and it also needs a family history, such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, although the two are extraordinary, but they have only practiced a martial art, and the bow and arrow are not proficient.

It is Zhang He, Gao Lan, Xu Rong and others who can fight with Gongsun Zhan, but Gongsun Chan is not as good as Zhao Yun, although everyone works hard, but in terms of talent, they are a little less than Zhao Yun.

That's it, Gongsun Zhan's arrow also made the Wuhuan forward general feel bad, he almost relied on the instinct of his body, and quickly rolled off the horse, but the red mang ran towards the head of his mount, and then in the violent sound of arrows, his war horse fell to the ground violently.

"The enemy is dead! Kill me! ”

Gongsun Zhan's arrow was actually a signal, and at this time, the Han army all shot their own arrows, forming a rain of arrows on the heads of the Wuhuan people.

After an arrow, with a loud shout from Gongsun Zhan, the whole army changed their guns and began to attack in a conical formation.

The war horses of the Wuhuan people had just started, and there was no formation at all, and when they heard the enemy soldiers on the opposite side shouting that the enemy would die, they couldn't help but look at the banner of the main general, but found that the main general could not be found on the battlefield at all!

This time I was even more panicked, I was originally in an ambush, and after seeing the Han army ambush on all sides, the morale had dropped greatly, and the main general was gone, which hit the morale of the Wuhuan people even more, plus the arrows flying all over the world, the hearts of all the Wuhuan soldiers were shaking.

Gongsun Chan acted as the tip of the cone-shaped array, and the main general opened the way, and the iron spear in his hand let out a sharp whistling sound, as if it could devour souls, and it was truly invincible.

The impact of the Han army, a direct wave of the Wuhuan sparse cavalry array easily tore apart, Gongsun Chan rushed straight to the former general of the Wuhuan army who was shot off the horse by himself, the Wuhuan general who lost the war horse only came and drew out the scimitar, was stabbed by Gongsun Zhan's iron spear, and rolled down not far away after being knocked away, and before he stood up, countless iron hooves had rolled past.

This nameless Wuhuan general was actually trampled to death by a horse, and I'm afraid no one will want to ask his name, so he can only become a member of the capture like most Wuhuan people.

The cavalry cone formation that has run away, as long as the main general who takes the lead is strong enough, then it can be regarded as indestructible, even if the generals of the heavenly rank, facing the cavalry formation composed of 10,000 elite cavalry, do not dare to say that they can be ten thousand, not to mention a Wuhuan general who has not heard the name, at this time, he is not the only one who fell under the hooves of the cavalry of the Gongsun Zhan Han Army, and in the future, there may be more.

Gongsun Zhan's conical formation rushed into the formation, and then like open wings, the two sides were divided, and the Han cavalry on both wings re-exchanged their bows and arrows in their hands, and began to shoot around the Wuhuan troops that had been scattered, at this time Gao Ran also arrived from the east side, and began to shoot every Wuhuan cavalry in the range along the half-slope.

Soon, Zhang He also solved the Wuhuan tribe on the west side, and the three Xuan-colored dragons roamed and foraged for food on the vast battlefield prepared here.

Gongsun Chan also arranged some small units on the periphery of the battlefield, which was a custom or habit, on the one hand, to guard against the enemy's surprise attack, and on the other hand, it was natural to prepare a large net for the total annihilation of the opponent, but this time, the troops on the periphery received an order to intercept the stragglers who escaped from the battlefield.

These small groups of cavalry, mainly from the Donghu people, were not soft at all in killing their fellow tribesmen, of course, most of them did not have any concept of ethnic groups, and they were waiting for the war to be distributed to a large area of pasture as grazing land.

The number of people constrained the expansion of the Han people, and the land suitable for cultivation in the south was still large, and the barren land in the north was only suitable for grazing, and could only be used as a servant army.

More than 150,000 men were dispatched on both sides of the ambush, and the battle lasted for a day and a night before it ended.

Soon after, the auxiliary army of Yuyang County also arrived, and the slaves and captured Wuhuan cavalry were handed over to Chun Yuqiong, who came to the country, most of these Wuhuan people were used as slaves, and as mining slaves in the territory, they would also have a chance to survive, Yang Yi did not advocate killing, even if it was an enemy, it was useful.

The new army brought by Chun Yuqiong was immediately replenished into the troops lost by Gongsun Zhan, Zhang He and Gao Ran who participated in the war, and after quickly sorting out the spoils of war, Zhang He was sent to the Rao Leshui area, with the intention of guarding against and appeasing them, and by the way, they cleared the Donghu people over there.

Gongsun Zhan, on the other hand, took a long journey north with a large army, and after clearing the captives by the way, he then turned west and began to drive away all the Donghu people, not only against Wuhuan, but also against Xianbei.

He was the first to run, because his escape led to the defeat of the Wuhuan people, of course, this is passed on by some Wuhuan tribes, there must be someone to bear, 100,000 Wuhuan cavalry, more than 10,000 dead and wounded, more than 30,000 captured by the Han army, and the rest are scattered all over the place, bringing the news that the Han Heavenly Army is invincible.

Badun ran very fast, ran north for a day and a night, and there were only a few hundred people left around him, and then detoured back to his tribe, and when he got the news of the movements of the Han army, it was more than ten days later.

The Wuhuan tribes don't have to be arranged, all the tribes are going north, escaping from the Han army's sphere of influence, the Xianbei people are fighting their own battles at this time, there are no heroes like Tanshi Huai, just listening to the bad news of Wuhuan, but they don't know that they will also follow.

According to the current news, the main force of the Wuhuan people has been wiped out, this time the number of Han troops dispatched does not seem to be much, but the first battle destroyed Wuhuan 100,000 horsemen, and now it is going north one by one, driving away the grassland tribes around the border, this time the Han army is no longer a small fight, but the prelude to the war, and Badun is very sure of this.

Of course, this war is actually a battle of training for the Han army, the top commander's bonus to the army is too powerful, even if the Han army is only composed of new recruits, but under the addition of the commander, the strength of each is at least doubled, which is an overwhelming advantage for Wuhuan.

The weapons of the Han army are superior to the Donghu people in all aspects, and the Donghu people at this time are not systematic, and the Xianbei unified the grassland before, and under the leadership of Tanshi Huai, they became the overlord of the grassland.

However, a few years ago, Tanshi Huai died, the heir and Lian could not convince the public, and the grassland tribes were divided independently.

However, Qiu Liju was unlucky, he was beheaded by the Han generals, and the Wuhuan people were not as powerful as the Xianbei people at this time, although he was capable, but the Wuhuan people were not convinced by him a lot, and befriended Liu Yu to get a few months of respite, and the peace obtained by relying on external forces was only temporary, and now, it has suffered a catastrophe.

Bun Dun knew that he was incapable of fighting with the Han army, especially when the strength of the Han army was so strong, Gongsun Chan and other Han generals saw that their skills were not under Guan Yu, how powerful were the Han people?

So, after returning to his tribe, he directly led the tribe to the north, and sent his trusted generals to the Wuhuan tribes with an elite team of 10,000 people and conscription warrants, which was not to prepare for the big war that would come at any time, but to prepare to the north, and the Wuhuan people were going to seize the pastures of other tribes.

The delicious pastures in the south are given to the Han people, and winter is coming soon, and there is a vast land behind the Han people, which can grow grain, but their grassland tribes have to take advantage of the winter when the winter does not come, and store the winter forage, otherwise the livestock will starve to death too much in the winter, and the next year will be difficult.

Bun Dun thought very clearly, and the decision was enough, avoiding the edge of the Han army, surviving first and then thinking later.

Unfortunately, Badun's coping method was very good, but his movements were a little slower, and when his cronies rushed to the rest of the Wuhuan gathering place day and night, the camp of the Wuhuan people was in a nightmare of blood and fire.

"I led the elite to a cone-shaped formation to repeatedly chisel the camp of the Wuhuan people, so that the large army of the Wuhuan people would not be gathered; I salute you to lead the guerrillas to follow me, to further disperse any troops that attempt to assemble, and to shoot the armed rebels, and General Cheng to cruise around the perimeter of the camp to intercept the fleeing stragglers. ”

Gongsun Chan looked at the Wuhuan camp that had been chiseled through by the large army once and was on fire everywhere, and quickly assigned the task, and there were Han army scattered cavalry on the outermost part to clear the fish that had slipped through the net, and here, Gongsun Zhan's 12,000 cavalry wanted to completely clean up the tens of thousands of Wuhuan people in this camp.

Although the task is a bit heavy, but due to the first successful raid, a heavy blow was given to the Wuhuan people, and because the big tent of the camp was broken, although Gongsun Chan did not know whether he killed the leader of the Wuhuan people in the night, but until now this Wuhuan camp is still in chaos, and there is no decent organizer, which has fully explained the problem.
