Chapter 372 The wolf lives in front of Xu Mountain

Langjuxu Mountain was the former hinterland of the Huns and an unforgettable shame. Now that the Northern Huns have fled, this place has become the paradise of Xianbei. Finally, on this day, the Han army once again set foot on this land.

"Boom!"

The sound of countless horse hooves echoed between heaven and earth, from far to near, endless cavalry galloping on the grassland. At the front were three thousand elite cavalry with white horses and white armor, each with high fighting spirit and wearing gorgeous armor. If it weren't for their bodies, they would reach the sky.

The murderous look makes people wonder if this is a guard of honor, so gorgeous.

Gongsun Zan was in the center of the White Horse Yi Cong. When he saw the neat and mighty White Horse Yi Cong around him, he smiled confidently. As long as the White Horse Yi Cong was there, he would be undefeated. This was Gongsun Zan's confidence to travel across the grassland.

"General, we are less than three hundred miles away from Langjuxu Mountain. Should we stop the army and rest for a while before marching again tomorrow?" Yan Gang, the commander of the White Horse Yi Cong, who followed Gongsun Zan, asked.

Gongsun Zan looked at the sky and said indifferently: "No, it's still early. It's not too late to march hundreds of miles to the stronghold."

"But this is the hinterland of Xianbei. The enemy's army has probably gathered near Langjuxu Mountain. If we encounter an enemy, our army may be too exhausted to retreat!" Yan Gang said with a slight worry.

"As long as you and these three thousand white horse followers are here, what will happen if they come?" Gongsun Zan said lightly, his tone full of disdain for these foreign races.

"Xianbei, Wuhuan, and the Southern Xiongnu appear to be an alliance, but in fact they are just collaborating with each other. They have so many selfish motives among themselves that there is nothing to fear. Although Helian controls 300,000 Xianbei cavalry, he is a waste. Nan

Not to mention the Xiongnu, a prodigal dog can be destroyed with a snap of a finger." Gongsun Zan knew the situation in the north very clearly, otherwise he would not have dared to take such a risky move.

"The only one among the three parties that I care about is Tadun. He is indeed a bit brave, but Yuan Shu's cavalry is holding back in western Liaoning. He only brought out an army of 200,000 people this time, and he has a company with

With this waste in check, he will definitely not dare to take the risk of coming to attack our army."

"What my lord said is true. These three forces seem to be connected as one, but in fact they all have their own agendas. The advance and retreat of military orders cannot be unified at all. I am afraid that even if Tadun deliberately attacked, he would not be able to persuade the other two parties for a while." Tian Yu

said.

In fact, Tian Yu still has something to say in his heart, that is, the best way at this time is to defeat them one by one, and he can easily defeat these three armies with minimal losses. Not to mention Tian Yu, even Gongsun Zan also knows about this matter, but

He didn't think about it at all.

Now that he has come to Langjuxu Mountain, he must defeat the foreigners head-on and completely shatter all their thoughts. Moreover, Gongsun Zan's pride does not allow him to do such a "low-level" thing.

"The terrain here is flat, there is no terrain advantage to speak of, and it is difficult to set up an ambush. It seems that the opponent is really determined to confront us head-on." Yan Gang opened the map of the surrounding Langjuxu Mountain funded by Yuan Shu and said.

"Haha, an army of 600,000. Even a mouse would dare to lift a tiger's beard with an army of 600,000, let alone these ambitious people. During the reign of Emperor Wu, the Xiongnu army only numbered over 300,000, and

Even now, I am afraid that he is already complacent about defeating me and reappearing the power of the Huns!" Gongsun Zan said with a slightly mocking tone.

"Although the Huns at that time only had an army of 300,000, they were all elite soldiers skilled in bows and horses, otherwise they would not be so difficult to deal with. You know, at that time, the battle loss ratio of our Han army to the Xiongnu was always two to one.

They are at a disadvantage! At this time, although the Xianbei seems to be more powerful than the Xiongnu back then, it is nothing more than a paper tiger. How much combat power can this so-called army of 600,000 have? My lord can destroy it with a snap of his fingers."

Tian Yu, like Gongsun Zan, was determined to eliminate foreigners throughout his life. Naturally, he knew the Xiongnu, the greatest enemy of the Han Dynasty in the past, very well. The Xiongnu back then were indeed powerful, and Xianbei was nothing compared to them.

Xianbei can develop to the point where it is today only because the Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu and they came out to pick a peach. Regardless of the current Xianbei population, military strength, and territory, it is not inferior to the Xiongnu back then, but in terms of combat effectiveness, it is

There's a huge difference between a Teddy and a Tibetan Mastiff. They are both dogs, but their fighting capabilities are very different.

"It's a pity that I was born three hundred years ago. Otherwise, I really wish I could have seen how elegant the champion was back then." Gongsun Zan said yearningly.

"How is the lord's style different from that of Huo Qiaoqi back then? He destroyed the three major alien races in the north and completely put down the chaos in the north. Even the champion prince back then was nothing more than that?" Guan Jing, who also went out with the army as a long history officer, took advantage of every opportunity.

And started to flatter him.

"Although I think that my ability is not inferior to that of the champion, after all, the performance is still far different. It is just like the difference between the Xianbei of today and the Huns of the past. It is a pity that the Northern Huns have fled west, otherwise I really want to see it

Does it have the style of the Huns back then?" Gongsun Zan said confidently but regretfully.

Today's Southern Huns, Gongsun Zan simply does not regard him as the same species as the Huns of the past. Wolves are wolves and dogs are dogs, how can they be confused? When the Huns were defeated, the Northern Huns who still had some wolfish nature fled west and went to another country.

The world has changed. The remaining Southern Huns were domesticated by the Han Dynasty and became watchdogs. They lost their blood and were worse than Xianbei.

"One Han is worth five barbarians. If my lord wins this battle, it will be regarded as fulfilling what Hu Zhuanghou said back then." Tian Yu said with emotion.

"More than that?" Gongsun Zan looked back and saw that all of his soldiers were fully armored, and they were all made of fine iron armor. The spears and bows and arrows they held were also made of fine iron. He was full of ambition: "My soldiers are all brave.

, What does it mean to compare one to five? It is no exaggeration to compare one to ten. This time I will fight a great victory and let the world see what I, Gongsun Zan, can do!"

It has to be said that the large amount of sophisticated equipment obtained from Yuan Shu gave Gongsun Zan a lot of confidence. The idea that one Han should serve as the five barbarians proposed by Chen Tang was based on equipment. Because compared to the sophisticated equipment of the big Han, it lacked

The Hu people with iron weapons were really at a disadvantage. The weapons were primitive and heavy, the bows and arrows were not sharp, and the lethality was indeed very different. But even if there was no difference in weapons, the fighting power of the Han people was still much stronger than that of the Hu people. In a fight, one could equal three.

question.

The reason why the battle loss ratio with the Xiongnu was high during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was because the Xiongnu had the geographical advantage of being able to advance, attack, retreat and defend. In addition, during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there was a serious shortage of horses. Although there were many infantry, their mobility was poor. This made

The Xiongnu were so rampant. In the three frontal counterattacks, the Battle of Monan, the Battle of Hexi, and the Battle of Mobei, the Han army won a great victory every time, with overwhelming momentum. Huo Qubing and Wei Qing, two peerless twins, also fought repeatedly.

The battle damage was astonishing, almost one to ten, which is amazing. You must know that those were the Xiongnu, not the current Xianbei.

Gongsun Zan has been guarding the border and fighting against foreign tribes, so he knows very well the importance of armor and weapons. It can be said that replacing leather armor with sophisticated iron armor can increase combat effectiveness by at least 20 to 30%. Coupled with swords, guns, bows and arrows made of fine iron, Gongsun Zan

These large armies under his command can now be regarded as replacing cannons with cannons.
