Chapter Forty-Six: Farewell to Wuhuan for a while
Without waiting for the panicked Wuhuan people to figure out who was coming to raid, the Han army's iron cavalry, like a devil from hell, rushed into the camp that was burning at this time with the sound of wind and thunder, and launched another brutal killing.
The Han army under Yang Yi's command, the weapons have been tested several times, and the weapons have been changed several times, Gongsun Chan himself uses a long lance, and the cone array behind him all uses sabers, and the weapons used by the Han army under Yang Yi are now not quite the same as the Han army in other places.
For example, the generals began to use long lances more, and the generals Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun still used their original weapons, and they used their original weapons to give full play to their strength, so naturally they did not need to replace them.
Gongsun Chan and others, although they are skilled in bows and horses, but the weapons they use cannot give full play to their strength 100%, and the weapons are also constantly developing, from the spears and Qin swords of the pre-Qin era to the current spears and ring-headed knives.
The horse lance is also to adapt to the new weapons developed by the more and more powerful heavy cavalry and armored war horses, the horse lance has obvious armor-piercing edges, and the best lance will be the same as the sword, with eight sides, ordinary fish scale chain mail, iron circle armor, and bright light armor, under the armor-breaking lance, it is broken with one blow, and now the generals under Yang Yi have begun to use the lance.
The cavalry is divided into two kinds, the heavy cavalry still uses spears, but the number of heavy cavalry is too small, because the heavy cavalry requires a high quality of people and horses, and the resources required are too great, even if Yang Yi can't raise too much under his command now.
The light cavalry used sabers and bows and arrows, and after actual combat experiments, the light cavalry followed the heavy cavalry that broke the formation, and it was more convenient to use the saber to kill and wound the enemy
The saber does not need to be swung hard, as long as it is placed at an angle, it can kill with the speed of the horse, and after the entire cone array rushes through, as if a large chainsaw swept by, the entire camp of the Wuhuan people raised bursts of bloody rain and mist.
The soldiers inside the formation are responsible for shooting any living people that appear in the line of sight, Gongsun Zhan's prior order is to kill as much as possible, once the young and strong people in this camp are integrated, but there are more than 50,000 troops, which is definitely a mortal threat to Gongsun Zhan's troops, so it is necessary to kill and injure a large number of the opponent's living forces, which is also destined to be a river of blood tonight.
Gongsun Zhan took the lead, followed by him was a conical formation laid by the heavy cavalry, the Han army was like entering a no-man's land, like the devil's chariot, rumbling between the tents of the Wuhuan camp, breaking up all the crowds that tried to assemble, and the small group of Han army rangers behind further carried out the work of mending the knife, the fire burned bigger and bigger, the blood flowed more and more, the people killed less and less, the clouds blocked the half of the moonlight in the sky, the sky was darker, but the camp was brighter, but there was only blood-red land and on that land. A fire demon wandering in the firelight.
The place where the grassland tribes live will not be too far, especially the same tribe, which also has the meaning of defending each other, but at this time, the camp of Wuhuan ignited a fire, and the direct reaction was that the surrounding grazing tribes packed up and fled overnight.
In fact, according to the order, Gongsun Chan did not plan to further plunder the small tribes around the Wuhuan camp, in this Wuhuan gathering place alone, more than 100,000 people were gathered, and there were more than 300,000 herdsmen around, and the Wuhuan people would not let such an important camp be ravaged by the Han army.
This is one-third of the Wuhuan people, and it is also the most important gathering place, and this gathering place is also an important commercial intersection center on the grassland, where the interests of the Wuhuan people are guaranteed.
If it weren't for the 100,000 Wuhuan cavalry that was broken by the Han army in one fell swoop, the Wuhuan people would not be so panicked at this time, after all, Wuhuan is also the new overlord of the grassland who is confident to take over the position of the overlord of the Xianbei grassland, and he still has some courage.
Even if the response of Badun will be relatively slow, if the surrounding Wuhuan tribes spontaneously organize, they can also make up tens of thousands of cavalry troops, even if they are not elite cavalry, just by virtue of the numerical advantage, they can bring huge pressure to the Han army, in case they are bitten by these Donghu people, the Han army is not without the danger of annihilation.
There are also the Xianbei people in the west, in this dark night, the fire that burned to the sky must have seen it, it is hard to say whether the Xianbei people will come to pick up the cheap, but Gongsun Chan can't take risks, so, after the victory, he did not continue to expand the results, Gongsun Chan took the Han army, escorted the loot of this loot and tens of thousands of slaves and retreated the next day.
If the Han army takes some more time to scavenge, the harvest can at least double on the existing basis, but for the current Han army, so much harvest is already enough.
A camp of more than 100,000 people, and 20,000 Wuhuan cavalry garrison, in the end, only tens of thousands of Wuhuan refugees scattered all over the place remained, how tragic this battle situation is, so the Donghu cavalry of all ethnic groups who arrived in a hurry after dawn saw the tragic situation at the scene, almost went crazy.
Of course, in such a large Wuhuan camp, the Han army actually looted one-tenth of the wealth at most, and the rest, which was quietly annexed by various departments, was also deducted from the Han army.
That night, the herdsmen who escaped by luck spread the name of the Han army's fire demon all over the grassland, these two words, can stop the Hu children crying at night, can make the grassland warriors bow their heads, can dispel all evil lies, the fire demon goes, blood flows like a river!
It also reminded the old people among these Hu people that decades ago, the Han army chased the Huns, and in the legends of our ancestors, how powerful the Huns were, were also driven away from this fertile grassland by the Han army.
Now the Han army is here again, although a few years ago the Xianbei people had some results against the Han army, and the Han army was defeated, but the leader of the Xianbei people, Tan Shihuai, died quickly, and among the Xianbei people at this time, there were actually many of them were the Huns of the year.
In the fourth year of Emperor Yongyuan, the Han army defeated the Xiongnu Beidanyu at Jinwei Mountain, and the main force of the Northern Xiongnu Huyan retreated to the vicinity of Balikun Lake, and continued to compete with the Eastern Han for control of the Western Regions in the following half century.
Subsequently, the Xianbei in the north became strong and entered the Xiongnu homeland, and about 560,000 Xiongnu people "all called themselves Xianbei", and the main population of the Northern Xiongnu joined the Xianbei Alliance and became a member of the Donghu ethnic groups, generally calling themselves Xianbei people.
The Donghu tribes hated and feared the Han army, and at this time, the Han army drove to Saiwai again, and the unexpected benefit of this battle was that in the future Han army and the Hu army, more and more Hu soldiers were captured and surrendered.
When he heard that the Nanda camp had been broken by the Han army, and now it had been burned to the ground, and the prosperous Nanda camp in the past was like a ghost domain, full of broken and charred corpses, and the clear wet water was also stained red by the blood of the Wuhuan people, his eyes were torn.
This is the foundation of his hegemony, even if he retreats to the northern grasslands, without this Wuhuan, the Wuhuan people can only be the middle tribe of the Donghu people, how many years it will take to accumulate to regain strength, this is an unknown.
Looking at the hateful eyes of the Wuhuan people, Badun knew that even if he wanted to leave, he couldn't go, and now he could only raise the flag to want the Han people to take revenge.
"Chase! Chase to the edge of the sky and catch this Han army! ”
Bandun once again summoned all the ministries and personally went out with 50,000 elites, this time, he did not use much of his own deployment, all the men and horses of other tribes.
Gongsun Zan and Gao Ran walked very slowly at this time, and their tracks naturally could not be hidden, because there were too many captures, and a team of Wuhuan people who were tracking them were carefully biting the back of the Han army, waiting for Badun to arrive, before that, they did not have the courage to provoke the already famous Han army.
As for why Gongsun Chan was easily bitten by them, of course, it was not because he was dragged down by slaves and captives, but because Gongsun Chan deliberately let the Wuhuan people bite him.
In fact, on the night of the attack on the Wuhuan South camp, Gongsun Chan asked Cheng Peng to take 2,000 Han cavalry and 2,000 servants to escort the captives and slaves east across the wet water to join the Han army of Yuyang County who came to meet him, while Gongsun Chan led the team to wander around this generation, and deliberately showed his traces to attract the attention of the Wuhuan pursuers.
With the tail behind him, Gongsun Zhan marched towards the west, avoiding the scattered tribes of the Donghu people for two days, and finally received a message from Zhang He, he had already received Cheng Peng's department, had safely converged, and handed over to the Han army of Yuyang County, after sending the prisoners and booty, they had embarked on the journey back to the grassland, and now asked for instructions on what to do next.
Gongsun Chan thought about it for a while, and decided to let Zhang He still go east, waiting for further orders, while Gongsun Chan himself was ready to speed up the south to Shanggu County to rest, after all, he had been fighting on the grassland for a month, and it was time to rest.
However, the preparations did not change quickly, and when he was preparing to withdraw the army, Gongsun Chan received the news that Badun attacked again.
Bun Dun led 50,000 elite Wuhuan cavalry and rushed over to this side, and it is expected that it will soon be close to within a hundred miles, this is an opportunity!
The Wuhuan people have been defeated again and again, and now the losses are huge, at least on the eastern grassland, the strength of the Wuhuan people has fallen into the lowest level, if this Wuhuan people can be eliminated again, then the eastern grassland, at least five years of peace will be ushered in.
If you can kill Bundun, then the Wuhuan tribe will also be in a state of no owner, and in the foreseeable future, the Wuhuan people will probably be surrounded by the beasts of the grassland, and even the extermination of the clan is not impossible.
However, the danger is also huge, after all, at this time, the Han army is exhausted, they have reached a critical point, it is difficult to fight again, and this time Badun only brought 50,000 people, presumably these 50,000 horsemen must be the elite of the Wuhuan people.
Last time, most of the 100,000 Wuhuan warriors were made up of a number, so the orders were not uniform, and once they fell into the downwind, they would collapse, but this time, the elite Wuhuan cavalry must be different.
The Wuhuan people can take such a big foundation in the grassland, and they are not weak chickens, they still have the strength to fight.
At this time, Badun held two thoughts, these 50,000 Wuhuan riders were all elite, and they were composed of warriors from various Wuhuan tribes, all of whom were warriors who were not afraid of death.
If this battle is won, then it will renegotiate with the Han army and maintain its previous position, and he doesn't want much at this time, and he doesn't have the heart to invade the Central Plains.
The hundreds of years of the Han Dynasty are not just in the palace fight, but also in the cities, fortresses, official roads, straight roads, bridges and other infrastructure, this alone is better than these Hu people on the grassland.
The Huns did not invade the Central Plains on a large scale that year, and the Wuhuan people could not have it at this time, and the border of the Han Dynasty had been expanding further northward, if it were not for the intensification of the contradictions between the royal family and the family and the Li people, which eventually led to chaos in the world, and for a few decades, the grassland Hu people would no longer have the respite.
At this time, of course, it is different, since Wei Qing and Huo Qubing attacked the Xiongnu in the north, the five Hu of the Han Dynasty have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, although there are occasional unfavorable times, but most of the time the Han Dynasty still has an advantage.
Badun's biggest goal is still peace talks, and he doesn't have so much ambition at this time, so he really can't, show the bravery of the Wuhuan people, and let the Han people see that they are not easy to bully.
At the very least, he can't let Gongsun Chan burn and loot, and retreat so easily, which he is unwilling, and all tribes are unwilling, and even the Xianbei people will not be willing.
Gongsun Chan didn't want to let go of Bang Dun, there was an irreconcilable contradiction between the Hu people in Biansai and the Han people in Biansai, at least at this time, as a son of a family who grew up in Biansai, Gongsun Chan knew very well that this opportunity was rare now.
The military merits of the Saiwaihu people are not easy to calculate, but the Shan Yu of the Saiwaihu people has great military merits, and the DPRK and China also recognize them.
Bun Dun is a great military feat, and now he is only a miscellaneous general, although it is two thousand stones, but the gold content is too far behind.
Even outside the eldest princess's sphere of influence, the court may not recognize it, and Badun is a good opportunity to correct her name.
It's like Guan Yu, what is his background, but he is just a nobody, not even a poor family, but he was rewarded by the eldest princess, and he became an official of hundreds of stones.
His 2,000 stones are stronger than Gongsun Zhan's 2,000 stones, and Gongsun Zhan's 2,000 stones are just the product of the eldest princess's daughter buying horse bones.
Moreover, if he misses this opportunity, Gongsun Zhan can imagine how cruel the bloody battle of Biansai will be after waiting for the Wuhuan people to recuperate and really grow up, and it is really hard to say how many generals will die at that time.
And Badun, he knew early on that this Wuhuan man's new Shan Yu is an opponent that the Han army will need to face sooner or later, if he doesn't trample Badun under his feet, how can he sweep away Wuhuan? How can you gain a foothold in the grasslands? How can they confront the powerful Xianbei people head-on? Driving Donghu from the north?
Instead of waiting for the Wuhuan people's military spirit to recover and collide with Badun when the East Mountain rises again, it is better to choose now, now is an opportunity to kill multiple birds with one stone!
Gongsun Chan gritted his teeth, and immediately replied to the reconnaissance general a pigeon, ordering him to try his best to estimate the speed attribute of the Bunton troops, on the other hand, Gongsun Chan immediately ordered his troops to speed up to the north-west, prepare to cross the water to the west, and then go north along the gap between the Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes in the east, at least before making a final decision, to keep a sufficient safe distance from Bunton.
Even if you decide to fight, you have to let your Han army and servant army rest for a day or two.
