Chapter 2529 Some people are short-sighted and some are focused on the future.
The land of large ravines in the northeast is a typical hill fold area. Faults and ditches have become the mainstream of this area, and the roads are also twists and turns, deep and dangerous, and strong winds sometimes blow through the gaps between the rocks.
Whistling by.
Smooth rocks and rugged mountain roads are not suitable for horse racing. Even riding on a horse is very dangerous. If you are not careful, you may step on some gravel. If your foot slips, you will lose your center of gravity and fall down the hillside, or even fall into the valley. Even if it is
If you are lucky enough to survive, you will break your arms and legs...
Ding Lingtou was staring at this ravine...
He is waiting for the smoke.
The civilization inheritance of the Dingling people is very fragile, so fragile that there is almost no connection between tribes. One tribe may understand something that another tribe may be confused about. And most of the tribal leaders sit in the position of leader.
At that time, what I thought of was not knowledge or spiritual and cultural development, but only the population of cattle and sheep, and personal wealth.
Therefore, the only way the Ding Ling people can transmit information now is through one-way smoke.
Ding Lingtou had to rely on the smoke rising from the other side of the big ravine to determine the signal for attack.
It wasn't until the smoke rose from the other side of the big ravine that Ding Lingtou took a long breath, and then his face showed joy. He turned around and shouted: "The Han people have fallen into a trap!"
"Oooo……"
"The Han people have fallen into the trap, fallen into the trap!"
Chaotic cheers sounded at the foot of Huangya Ridge.
"Boys! Mount up! Let's fight over! Kill the Han dogs!" Ding Lingtou roared loudly and waved his arms, as if he was facing a Han general and he was about to chop the Han general to death.
"Kill these Han people, and we can go to Yinshan! The cattle, sheep, grain, and cloth are all ours! Ours!"
"Oh oh oh oh!"
There was another burst of cheers, and then under the leadership of Ding Lingtou, they began to mount their horses, waving their swords and guns in preparation to attack the retreat of the Han army.
No one is born to fight.
The reason why future generations will not do the stupid things of their predecessors and will become smarter and smarter is not because they are smarter than their predecessors, but because their predecessors recorded the losses and pains they suffered so that they can
Future generations will not repeat the same mistakes.
This group of Ding Ling people obviously did not have this heritage, so they never thought that the Han people might take advantage of their scheme.
At the big ravine, a Han army general said with a smile: "These fools really obey the command...the whole army stopped and formed an array!"
The Han people did attack the big ravine, and as the Ding Ling people expected, they had to dismount and fight on foot due to the terrain of the big ravine. However, the Ding Ling people did not expect that the Han people only advanced a little, and then put a certain amount of pressure on the Ding Ling people.
After that, when they saw the smoke rising, they stopped and began to form an array at a high place. An array composed of three hundred people, with shields outside and crossbows inside. The people in the front held divination halberds and
The spear was mounted on a small cavalry shield, and those behind were preparing bows and arrows.
The military lord swam among the gaps in the array, giving a few reminders from time to time. Finally, he stood in the middle of the array and shouted, "Just wait, the meat will be delivered to your door. How much you can eat depends on your ability!"
The Han soldiers in the array burst into laughter, as if what was about to come was not a battle, but an outing.
Facing the Han people, they stopped attacking and found a high place to form a formation. The Ding Ling people, who used the large ravine as bait, looked at each other in confusion and were a little at a loss.
The mission of the Ding Ling bait is to lure the Han people into the ravines, use the obstacles of nature to limit the role of the Han cavalry, and then raid the rear of the Han people from Huangya Ridge, leading to chaos in the Han people's order before they are hunted and harvested.
Unexpectedly, the Han people stopped pursuing him!
"Cunning Han people... Damn it, damn it!" Faced with the turmoil among his men, the young commander of the Ding Ling branch was somewhat anxious. The Han people's actions caught them off guard. If they couldn't lead most of the Han people into the ravine,
, then it is equivalent to failing to achieve an effective tactical layout.
And the little commander also knew very well that the equipment of the Han people was much stronger than that of the Ding Ling people, so they fought directly face to face. The cavalry faced the cavalry, and there was no good fruit for the Ding Ling people to eat at all. So the little commander let out a howl and brought it with him.
The soldiers turned around and attacked the Han army!
Just seduce a little more, seduce a little more...
"Bows and arrows are ready..." the Han military leader shouted.
The soldiers on the inside of the military formation nocked an arrow from the horn bow in their hand, raised it high, and did not draw it!
They are waiting for further orders.
Three hundred steps, two hundred steps, one hundred steps.
"Wind! Strong wind!"
"Boom, boom boom..."
As the military lord gave the order, the bowstring trembled slightly, and the arrows on it whizzed out. The arrows fell in an arc on the not-wide hillside, like a burst of sharp hail.
Wails suddenly sounded one after another. The poor armor of the Ding Ling people was defenseless in front of the arrows, even if they were just thrown. The arrows pierced the skin, and blood spattered everywhere!
Before the Ding Ling people had time to get close to the Han army formation, they were struck by arrows and fell to the ground. Some of the Ding Ling people were stunned for a while, not knowing what to do. Seeing the tragic casualties of their teammates, their hands and feet became stiff.
On the one hand, they heard the constant urging orders of the little commander, and on the other hand, they had the instinctive fear of death. However, these Ding Ling people who stayed in place or flinched did not usher in life, but waited for the next wave of arrows.
…
"Steady! Steady at the front!"
As the Ding Ling people approached, a new command was issued in the Han army formation, "Prepare to impact!"
Immediately, halberds and spears, swords and shields stood out like a hedgehog with all its spikes spread out!
Looking at the Han army's armor formation getting closer and closer, the Ding Ling people showed fear, because they felt as if they were not going to fight the Han people, but were about to hit a copper wall!
The key point is that this copper wall is actually equipped with sharp thorns. If you touch it even slightly, blood will spurt out, and you are missing arms and legs!
The Ding Ling people who rushed at the front waved their sabers indiscriminately, unwilling to get too close to the Han army formation, but he was pushed against the iron wall little by little by the Ding Ling people who followed!
When the knife and gun penetrated his body, he roared, roaring in pain, and tears mixed with blood flowed down his face...
He regretted why he was so honest, so stupid, and so loyal in obeying orders...
The loyal and honest Ding Ling died, but the cunning and cunning Ding Ling survived.
Seeing the death of a large row of Ding Ling people in the front, the rest showed no intention to fight. No matter how angry the little commander Ding Ling behind them was, they just refused to go up. Some people even started to slowly retreat...
As soon as the two sides came into contact, the battle was already one-sided.
The Dingling people, who had almost no protection, screamed and fell to pieces, like wheat chopped down by a sickle.
The sharp iron spears and halberds pierced the Hu man's body directly, poking out bloody holes, and then they were mercilessly withdrawn. The shiny spear tips were dyed red, and then they stabbed forward again!
The soldier holding the ring-shou sword always couldn't reach the person, shouting loudly at Pao Ze on the side to slow down and save some for himself...
The Ding Ling branch in a large ravine was unable to fight, and no one was chasing them when they retreated. They were completely defeated.
The main force of the Ding Ling people on the other side also suffered a disastrous defeat.
In the desert, the impression left by the Huns on the Dingling people was too distant, so in their memories, the Xianbei people were invincible.
After the Xianbei people split, first Kirby was defeated, and then Bu Dugen died. Although the Xianbei people had a relapse, they were ambushed by Han cavalry. The Dingling people took the opportunity to seize the Xianbei people's territory, feeling that their own
Then you can inherit Xianbei's mantle and become the boss of the desert.
The series of battles that took place in Yuyang, Youzhou, could only be regarded as a small corner in the entire series of conflicts in the Northern Han Dynasty, but this corner brought great harm to the Ding Ling people.
After suffering losses from natural disasters and failing to gain from foreign wars, the Ding Ling people's morale collapsed severely...
It is a pity that backward cultural inheritance, inferior military skills, and even a completely ineffective messaging system have led to huge cognitive errors between the tribes of the Dingling people. Some people think that they cannot defeat the Han people and are afraid of avoiding them.
However, some people think that others are exaggerating. How can the Han people be so powerful?
Just like the Ding Lingtou people who came to attack Yinshan this time.
He could never understand why his plan was discovered.
He didn't even understand why the "poisonous water" he deployed along the way failed to weaken the combat effectiveness of the Han cavalry.
He doesn't even understand that the world is changing too fast...
Just like the Ding Lingtou people say that they are confident and capable, and are determined to defeat the Han people, but the Han people today are no longer what they were a hundred years ago, or more than ten years ago.
After General Hussar obtained the two major horse breeding lands in Yinshan and Longyou, he also obtained the surrender of nomadic tribes such as the Southern Xiongnu, Eastern Qiang and Western Qiang, which enabled him to gain a lot of attention in horse breeding places, war horse breeding, and war horse breed selection.
A huge improvement.
Many Hu people who surrendered to the Han even joined the ranks of the Han cavalry as vassal troops, which further enhanced the riding skills of the Han cavalry. In addition, they had elite soldiers and armor and excellent generals to command...
Moreover, the Han army is also versatile. When dismounted, it can hold a shield and act as an infantryman. When wearing heavy armor, it can act as a formation breaker. It also has good archery skills, whether it is fighting in narrow terrain or on a vast plain, or
Even next to the military defense facilities, there are combat capabilities that can directly crush the barbarians.
The battlefield chosen by the Ding Ling people was actually quite good, with Huangya Ridge on the left, a large ravine on the right, and a flat land in the middle suitable for cavalry fighting. However, when the target of the attack became the Ding Ling people themselves, tragedy naturally struck.
After Ding Ling's attack on the other side failed and the large force he led was intercepted by Li Dian, Ding Ling's head realized that not only had he failed to design the Han army, but he had fallen into the Han army's trap...
As for the Han cavalry, they really have to thank the Ding Ling people for their full cooperation and conducted a real cavalry drill...
The two army commanders strangled each other, one on the left and the other on the right, and cut the Ding Ling people into three parts. Moreover, the two army commanders also had the idea of competing with each other. They both held spears in their hands and shouted, just like this.
I ran into the scattered queue of Ding Ling people!
At the moment of charging into the formation, when the spear in their hands hit the first Ding Ling cavalry, the two army commanders let go instantly like a standard action, and then immediately pulled out the sabers on their waists and slashed at the passerby.
The Ding Ling Cavalry.
The Han cavalry following the Army Sima also made the same movements one after another. Some of them almost fell off their horses because they let go at the wrong time. However, the high bridge saddle and stirrups saved these novice cavalry from their mistakes and allowed them to do so.
There is still a chance to regain your focus.
Ding Ling was obviously not so lucky. He was slightly hit and lost his center of gravity. He fell off the horse like a dumpling. The remaining horse ran for a while in confusion, then stopped and neighed at a loss.
Ming, I don’t know whether it is whining or calling its owner.
As long as you fall off your horse in the chaos, you will basically be trampled by the mounts of both sides, and the death or injury will be even more tragic than dying under the opponent's sword!
The equipment of saddles and stirrups gave the Han cavalry an advantage in this aspect. On the other hand, when fighting each other, the cavalry rushed into battle at high speeds. Whoever stopped would be close to death.
There is no such thing as a situation like those in movies and TV shows where opponents fight for dozens or hundreds of rounds with no winner or loser.
The cavalry uses the impact of their horses. There is always the next opponent in front of them. Swords and guns are constantly roaring towards them. All they can do is block, counterattack and slash almost instinctively!
When a Han cuts a Ding Ling, blood will fly everywhere with one strike. However, if a Ding Ling cuts a Han, he will also get hit with one slash. Most of the time, only sparks will fly and jingling noises will be seen. What will fly out is not blood, but a knife.
Cut off the silk ribbon's armor!
The torrent of Han cavalry in front of them made the Ding Ling people despair.
The Ding Ling people broke through the encirclement from left to right, but they couldn't get out. On one side, their own morale was getting worse and worse, and on the other side were the Han cavalry who couldn't fight or run. The leader of the Ding Ling people finally realized what he had done before.
His arrogance and arrogance also destroyed all his hopes.
In desperation, Ding Ling, a leader with his own bodyguards, marched towards the Han people and carried out an almost suicidal attack in the direction of Li Dian's flag. Unfortunately, he was shot by an arrow halfway.
, he died before Li Dian even took action.
In the chaotic array of Ding Ling people, all the will to resist collapsed in an instant. Many people had already turned around and ran away. However, if the war horse wants to turn around, it is not like the character D can turn around instantly, let alone
The Han army Sima on both sides had already brought their cavalry, spreading their wings like cranes, and surrounded the Ding Ling people. Even if they escaped, they would not be able to escape far.
Some people simply surrendered, while the other part of the Ding Ling people felt that since there was no hope, they might as well die here!
Two different ideas and two different actions caused complete chaos in the Dingling array. Only a few Dinglings escaped from the chaotic whirlpool and fled. As for where they could escape, maybe they didn't know.
My destiny is completely left to God to arrange...
The battle ended quickly.
There is often just a thin line between hope and despair.
Not all those who wanted to die were dead. Some of the Ding Ling people who were not yet dead were wailing in the battlefield. Their voices were louder and softer, but the syllables similar to "mother" that appeared most often were still...
Those Ding Ling people who had lost their fighting spirit fell to their knees. They might still be alive, but their hearts were basically dead, as if they were sealed in a dark cage. Even if the Han people did not tie them with ropes, they
He didn't dare to move, he just knelt and waited, like a zombie.
The war horse that had lost its master kicked and turned around again, and then in the bloody battlefield, it found its familiar master, and then it arched its long neck and whined until it was taken away.
Li Dian's body was clean and clean. Only the blood and mud on his horse and the corners of his robe may prove that Li Dian was indeed involved in such a battle.
The excited commanders of the left and right armies whirled around, each covered in blood, which formed a sharp contrast with Li Dian's clean armor.
"Reply to the general!" the Sima of the left and right armies shouted loudly, his face seemed to still have the special excitement of battle, which had not completely subsided.
Li Dian nodded, "Clean the battlefield and then go to the Ding Ling camp!"
The Ding Ling people's camp is not in a large ravine, but at the foot of Huangyaling Mountain.
The reason is indeed very simple. Due to geographical reasons, the large ravines are all mountains, ravines and valleys, but there are very few water sources. Even if there are some springs or something, on the one hand it is difficult to obtain, and on the other hand it is not enough for large-scale people and horses to drink.
Huangyaling is different.
There are springs, and there are also pools formed by the springs. Although they are not very big, they are enough for people and horses to drink.
If Li Dian and others were not familiar with the terrain and did not have a strategic map, they might have been led to the big ravine by the Ding Ling people. But now that the hussars are riding up and down, which level of general military academy does not pay attention to the survey of battlefield maps?
And familiarity and mastery?
As for the problem of poisonous water along the way, the solution is actually simpler.
After the village chief of Beijun Village fell ill for no apparent reason, Li Dian considered this possibility. Along the way, the remaining snow in some places had not melted away, and in this era of snow, there was basically no need to consider air pollution...
In the camp of the Ding Ling people, Li Dian understood the source of the "poisonous water".
Looking at the rotten and semi-rotted corpses in the pit, with obvious signs of cutting and removing the flesh and bones, Li Dian turned to the trembling Ding Ling people lying on the ground and asked, "Who asked you to do this?"
After the translation, the Ding Ling people didn't even dare to raise their heads. They stuck to the ground and replied: "It's the leader. It's the leader who asked us to do it..."
"Who are these people..." Li Dian felt a little angry.
"...Yes, he is the weak one in the tribe...the one who cannot keep up with the team..."
Hearing this, Li Dian was a little stunned, then shook his head, sighed, turned around and ordered people to completely cover the hole, and then ordered all the Ding Ling prisoners to be escorted back to Yinshan Mountain.
The tricolor battle flag is flying high.
The long string of trapped Ding Ling people slowly moved forward.
The Han cavalry who returned victoriously shouted in high spirits, as if the previous battle had not consumed much of their energy, urging the Ding Ling prisoners to speed up.
Li Dian, who was in the queue, had a pale expression.
"General, what are you..." Li Dian's trusted guard asked softly.
"It's okay... I'm just thinking... My lord is right..." Li Dian was in the queue and looked back at Huangya Ridge, "These guys have no virtue and no ability, no inheritance, and are unworthy... completely unworthy."
