"What? Huns? Why are the Huns here?" A series of question marks instantly appeared on Yang Biao's face.

This is the southern part of the Western Region, not far from Loulan.

Why did the Huns suddenly appear here?

Where is Wusun?

What about Kucha?

"How many people?" Yang Biao asked hurriedly.

"About a hundred people! There was no fighting. We saw some of us running away, and some of the brothers were leading them in circles!" the scout said quickly.

"General Yang, this is not normal!" Zhao Tuo immediately noticed something was wrong.

Yang Biao nodded. With so many years of military experience, he couldn't tell that this was abnormal.

Moreover, he has fought against the Huns more than once or twice, but the Huns' current style is really uncomfortable for people.

But what did the Huns want to do?

He really saw this!

"The team slows down and continues to explore. There must be a main force behind the Huns. Order five thousand people to go with me to meet them!" Yang Biao arranged directly.

"General Yang, five thousand people are too few, right?" Zhao Tuo was a little worried.

"Zhao Jinglue, five thousand people is not a lot at all. You, your thinking is still stuck on more than ten years ago. The big man today is no longer the big man back then." Yang Biao said to Zhao Tuo with a smile.

After that, the five thousand people were ordered to light up and quickly left the team.

Even if 5,000 people are taken away, there are still 10,000 people guarding the convoy, so there is no need to worry about safety issues.

No matter how many Huns there are, ten thousand people are enough to resist for a while.

As for completely swallowing these 10,000 people, the Huns would have to send at least 100,000 troops to make this possible.

And are the Huns, or barbarians, strong or not?

The benevolent sees benevolence, the wise see wisdom.

It can only be said that in the history of history, whether it was the Warring States Period or the Qin Dynasty, the Central Plains Dynasty's wars with the nomadic peoples, in the direct conflict, the casualties of the Central Plains Dynasty were actually not big.

Even if it was a field battle, even if the Xiongnu won a great victory, in the battle, the Central Plains Dynasty actually always maintained an advantage.

Now there is a department within the Han army that is dedicated to studying these battle cases, not only analyzing the victorious battle cases.

Also analyze failed battles.

Why do so many battles fail?

Where did it fail again?

No one would care about this in the past, but now, the general-level officers of the Han army have all learned this, and in actual combat they will try their best to avoid places that can lead to their defeat.

In the wars between the Central Plains dynasties and the nomadic peoples, all the defeats were due to mobility.

And every failed battle was defeated only after a long period of struggle.

Rather than being defeated by the prairie people, it is better to say that their own materials or other aspects were not enough to support them in a long-term war, but because of their limited mobility, they could not leave the battlefield.

Either their morale will be low as time goes by, or they will be caught by the enemy during the breakout process, or they will simply be unable to escape and will be divided and surrounded by the enemy and gradually eliminated.

Although this is also a means of war, in the early stages of the war, when large corps are fighting.

The Central Plains Dynasty has the upper hand. You are right. In fact, this is true.

Even if infantry has no advantage when facing cavalry, don't forget that the art of war was created by our ancestors. What kind of battles have we not seen?

I encountered nomadic cavalry in the field. Is there no way to deal with it?

Can we just leave it to fate?

No, just place the vehicles directly on the outermost periphery, and then form a huge vehicle formation, with the army located in it, and use the vehicle formation in front of you to block the impact of the opponent's cavalry.

At the same time, use the strong bow in your hand to effectively kill enemies at close range.

Your cavalry can't charge through, and when you get to the near end, you have to face crazy casualty data. I wonder if you can resist?

Although Li Ling in history has not yet happened, Li Ling was able to resist the main force of 100,000 Huns with 5,000 infantry, and the main force of the Huns was helpless and suffered numerous casualties, although the Huns eventually won.

But where did this victory come from?

Li Ling's troops had run out of arrows, severely damaged their weapons, lacked food and grass, and had no reinforcements, so they had to break out of the encirclement.

And how did the Huns win?

After paying a lot of casualties, they still couldn't win, so they could only use human lives to consume Li Ling's supplies again and again.

Finally, when Li Ling had to break through, he used the speed of the cavalry to defeat him in one fell swoop, forcing Li Ling's troops to surrender.

And does the Han army need to worry about this now?

Not needed at all.

First of all, their weapons were made of iron, which was stronger and more durable than the previous copper weapons and less likely to be damaged.

Secondly, they are cavalry and can attack the main force of the Huns from a long distance, preventing them from getting close to the convoy.

In the end, even if they ran, they could leave smoothly. The Han army now had enough war horses.

The Yuezhi and the war horses on the grassland were enough for the Han army to use.

Not to mention that the Han army also conducted cross-breeding experiments using Dawan horses and grassland horses.

And how good is the Han army now?

Many people may not believe it, but in fact, a consensus has been reached among the Xiongnu.

When encountering the main force of the Han army, run away if you can.

When encountering a Han army with less than 10,000 troops, if you can outnumber the enemy by ten times and have a high fighting spirit, you can fight. Otherwise, you should just run away if you can.

After experiencing those blows two years ago, the Huns are now absolutely frightened by Han Xin. Their self-confidence has been destroyed by Han Xin's 30,000 people.

Therefore, from this aspect, it is actually normal for the Huns to come to the Western Regions.

Anyone with a normal mind would probably choose this way.

One is to come here to make up for losses and increase strength.

The second is to come here and torture the food to restore their self-confidence, and then raise them for a few years, and then find a weak chicken from the Han army to torture them, completely stabilizing the military morale and popular support of the Huns, and then they can prepare for their return.

.

Yang Biao's guess was actually correct. After seeing the Han army's scouts, the Huns who ran back were indeed calling for reinforcements.

Because the Huns learned that there was a large death area between the Western Regions and the Han Dynasty. This area was difficult to pass, and it was even more difficult for large troops to pass through.

For this reason, the Huns even went there to see it themselves and found that it was indeed what they heard.

It is really difficult for large troops to pass through here.

In addition, they also knew that Lu Jia had caused trouble in the Western Regions with a thousand men before, so they subconsciously believed that the number of Han troops coming to the Western Regions would not be too large.

Even if the Xiongnu were defeated by the Han army in the east, don't forget that their main force did not actually lose much, but more women and logistics.

Therefore, the main force of the Huns, whose movements ranged from tens of thousands to tens of thousands, became even more crazy after entering the Western Regions.

In less than half a year, they controlled the entire Western Region, and they discovered that this seemed to be a huge treasure land.

The north can be used for grazing and the south can be cultivated, and the Xiongnu prince Nuetang Jizhou made a suggestion.

The Xiongnu can rely on the Western Region to build this place well and make it their rear base. Because there is a natural barrier, they don't have to worry too much about the Han army coming to sneak attack.

The original population of the Western Regions was enough for the Xiongnu to develop. Now they only need to develop peacefully for a few years, and then train the natives of the Western Regions, and then control them to fight the Han people, constantly consuming the energy of the Han people, and when the Han people are exhausted

At that time, the main force of the Xiongnu attacked.

so……

"???" The Xiongnu general looked at the densely packed Han army in front of him and couldn't help but feel his scalp numb.

"Didn't you say that the main force of the Han army will not come?"

"Who the hell lied about military information?"

"Then shall we fight?"

"I'm going to beat your sister. Didn't you see there are so many of them? We only have three thousand people. Let's beat the devil and run away..."

The Western Region is very large, and with the population base of the Xiongnu, it is not possible to put tens of thousands of people in every city.

In other words, Loulan was relatively close to the Han Dynasty and the location was relatively sensitive, so they put 3,000 people here.

Other cities are even worse, most of them only have a thousand or a few hundred people.

But even so, the Xiongnu still firmly controlled these cities.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Yang Biao couldn't help but burst out laughing silently.

"Damn it, I miscalculated..."

"General, what should we do?" The soldiers beside him were also speechless.
