Chapter 232 Was Your Art of War Taught by King Chu Bawang?
Liu Chang had never seen a Huns with such soft bones.
Liu Chang bravely defeated a huge tribe. He led nearly 10,000 weak soldiers. He was not afraid of strong enemies and fought bravely. Finally, he defeated this group of 11 Huns who were guarding more than 200 soldiers.
A huge tribe of herdsmen. After Liu Chang killed ten Huns in a row, the eleventh Huns surrendered directly.
Liu Chang was very surprised by this. It was difficult for the Huns to surrender. Most of the Huns in Liu Chang's tent had surrendered after being defeated and captured. He had never seen such people kneel on the ground and beg for mercy without firing an arrow.
How did such a person get reused by Maodun to manage a small tribe?
The Huns were short in stature, but very stout, short and fat, and not very old. At this moment, they kept shouting something.
Liu Chang asked: "What is he talking about?"
"He said he was willing to surrender to the king and asked the king to spare his life."
"Hahaha, are you willing to surrender?"
Liu Chang looked at the Hun noble in front of him and asked, "What use do I have for a coward like you? It can only be a waste of food!"
After being translated, the man became even more frightened and shouted again.
"Your Majesty, he said that he can offer the situation of the Huns to your Majesty...including the situation of the Huns' garrisons in various places, as well as the situation of Maodun."
"You are just a centurion of this small tribe. How much do you know about the major events of the Huns?"
Liu Chang was very disdainful.
"Your Majesty, he said that he was once a great witch in Moton, so he knew it."
Liu Chang was stunned. He knew that the Huns had their own religion. They believed in the heaven, earth, sun and moon, and there were great witches around each big tribe. These people were responsible for divination before the war, predicting whether the war would be auspicious or disastrous. At the same time,
They are responsible for offering sacrifices, and the Huns offer sacrifices to their ancestors, heaven, earth, sun, moon, ghosts and gods, covering a wide range of areas.
They hold a big sacrifice in May every year. As for Maodun, he has to go to worship the sun every day. "When you leave the camp in the morning, you will worship the sun at the beginning of your life, and you will worship the sun at night."
If the guy in front of me was really the great shaman next to Mao Dun, then he should know a lot as he predicts the good and bad fortunes of troops all day long.
Liu Chang grinned, pulled him to his side, and asked: "Then how did you end up where you are now?"
"Previously, the Great Chanyu wanted to fight against Ding Ling. I made three predictions and confirmed that sending troops would be a disaster. The Great Chanyu rewarded me for speaking out and rewarded me for coming here as a centurion..."
"Hahaha, you are not smart... We have to do divination before we go to war. I have never heard of anyone who dares to calculate the bad luck. It's all good luck. Mao Dun didn't kill you because he was merciful!"
Liu Chang couldn't help laughing. Both the Huns and the Han people had the tradition of offering sacrifices and divination before war. However, the result of divination was always good luck. This was to boost the morale of the army and make the soldiers believe that they would be successful in this expedition.
To win, I don't mean to really let you predict whether it will go well or not. This iron-headed boy has predicted great disasters three times. Not to mention Mao Dun, if you let Liu Changlai, you will have to reward him to become an official in South Vietnam.
Liu Chang could almost imagine that before the army set off for the expedition, the great witch predicted great disaster three times. The soldiers' eyes were full of fear, and how wonderful Mao Dun's face must have been... It was really Mao Dun's kindness that he didn't kill him.
The great wizard shook his head and sighed. Apparently, he understood this truth a little too late.
"Let's get out of here quickly. You, follow me and tell me about the situation of the Xiongnu tribes in various places!"
Everyone left here in a hurry, and the great witch told Liu Chang about the situation of the surrounding Xiongnu tribes. After Mao Dun pacified the Yuezhi, or after the Yuezhi people migrated south, they came here
There were three kings left. Liu Chang couldn't remember the lame names after hearing them several times. However, these three kings were not very powerful and there were not many elite cavalry.
Mao Dun's original order was for them to attack and harass the countries in the Western Regions and force these small countries to bow to the Huns.
After hearing these situations, Liu Chang immediately stopped worrying. The reason why he was able to do so smoothly before was because the enemy was unprepared, and he rushed into the enemy's belly area early. There were not many troops left here, as long as
If no one can block him in front, nothing will happen to him. He can just lead the army behind him in circles.
And the tribe here obviously doesn't have the strength to stop him.
Liu Chang raised his head and said with a smile: "I am going in and out of the desert, no one can stop me, no one under my command..."
"King!!!"
Ji Bu returned on his horse, interrupting Liu Chang's bragging. Ji Bu frowned and looked extremely serious, "Your Majesty! A large number of cavalry were found in front! They found our scouts, and they were very large in number, including many soldiers.
Elite..."
"a lot of?"
"Yes, the number of people we encountered alone is more than ten thousand... They seem to be still sending people to contact us... I don't know the specific number of people!"
Liu Chang looked shocked. The reason why he ran towards the northwest was because there was no strong enemy here. The Huns' troops were all on the right. Where did they get so many cavalry? He was furious and stared at the Huns beside him.
Cursed: "Didn't you say that there is no large Xiongnu tribe around here?! What's going on?!"
The Huns were also very scared and said hurriedly: "There are indeed no big tribes around here..."
He thought for a moment, seemed to have thought of something, and shouted: "That may not be the Huns' army!"
"Whose army is that?"
"Wusun!"
"Um?"
The great witch hurriedly said: "When the Wusun Kingdom fought against the Yueshi, the country was broken and destroyed. Prince Wusun was arrogant and ran away and was brought back to the Huns. Mao Dun liked this little prince very much, raised him by his side, and taught him how to fight.
After he gets older, give him the army and let him defeat the Yuezhi and restore the country as king... Here, the only one who can bring out such a large army is Wusun King Xie Jiaomi!"
Liu Chang's face became increasingly ugly. No wonder the pursuers behind him slowed down and deliberately moved towards this direction... It turned out that they had contacted Wusun and wanted to hunt the widowers together.
Now that there were chasing troops in front and behind, numbering ten thousand, it suddenly became much more difficult for Liu Chang to escape again.
The pursuers were surrounded from three sides and advanced calmly, but in front were Wusun's heavy troops. Liu Chang's way was immediately blocked. Wusun's sudden appearance completely disrupted Liu Chang's deployment. Liu Chang's deployment
Only then did he realize that his unknown opponent was also a very powerful person.
The rest of the people still didn't know what happened, and they were all laughing and chatting at the moment.
Only the people around Liu Chang looked very uneasy.
This is true even for Ji Bu. Where should we escape next?
Luan Bu analyzed it seriously, "We can immediately go south... cross the original territory of the Yuezhi people, and return to Beidi County from there... The enemy's pursuit at the moment should be..."
Liu Chang frowned, took off his wine bag, and drank a few sips into his mouth. The wine flowed from the corner of his mouth to the hem of his clothes. His whole body suddenly became hot, and he could no longer feel the chill.
"Let the whole army stop and slaughter the animals they are carrying. We will hold a banquet tonight to reward the whole army!"
Everyone didn't understand Liu Chang's intention at all. Only Ji Bu seemed to know. Everyone stopped. According to Liu Chang's wishes, everyone slaughtered the animals and sat around, eating and drinking. Liu Chang sat down.
In the middle, he said proudly: "When I had more than a thousand knights, I killed Lord Gudu and defeated tens of thousands of enemies... Now, I have ten thousand knights and can kill a dozen."
A king of the Xiongnu has come as his own merit!"
"When I left the Tang Dynasty, I gave an order that anyone who could kill the Xiongnu would be heavily rewarded."
"Now, I am preparing to kill the king of the Huns. Whoever can cut off his head will get a piece of food in the Han Dynasty, and his descendants will enjoy wealth!"
Liu Chang stood up, his tall body was very contagious, and he asked loudly: "I am the first to charge, who is willing to follow me?!"
Ji Bu looked at Liu Chang blankly, looking at the shouting knights, and couldn't help but shake his head.
"Jishe people...what's wrong?"
Luan Bu asked in a low voice.
"Your Majesty has been studying with Marquis Huaiyin for so long...but in the end he only used the Overlord's tactics."
"If Marquis Huaiyin knew about it, he would definitely denounce him."
Ji Bu looked at Liu Chang in front of him and said: "When I fought with the Overlord, the Overlord was like this. His words made the soldiers willing to fight to the death with him... all relying on his own bravery and appeal.
..He was stunned to kill the enemy in front of him."
"No, the king is different from the overlord... The king may seem reckless, but in fact he is careful and will never decide a war rashly."
Luan Bu replied seriously.
Liu Chang took the knights to rest here for a few days, eating and drinking. At this time, the enemy's scouts had become more frequent.
Liu Chang mounted the white horse, raised his spear, and shouted at the crowd: "Let's go!!"
Everyone followed Liu Chang, but turned around and set off to the southeast. None of the knights asked. When Luan Bu asked, Liu Chang proudly told him, "In the past few days, the place where enemy scouts come and go most frequently is
In the southeast, it can be judged that the enemy's leader is here... In order to surround the few, he sent a large number of troops to various places. This is when he is at his weakest."
"The Huns are now following his orders and forming encirclements around us... As long as their leader can be killed, their army will be in disarray and they will no longer be able to effectively stop us."
Luan Bu was shocked, "Your Majesty... He sent out all the troops to search, and there should be more than 10,000 elites around him... Most of the barbarians around us were defeated by the Xiongnu.
Do you have the guts to fight against the Xiongnu elite?"
"My master once told me that a general is only as good as his soldiers' courage. If a general is courageous, the soldiers don't know what fear is. If the general is timid, even the most elite army will not be able to withstand a single blow..."
Liu Chang clenched the spear in his hand and said to his left and right: "If I die in the battle, let Ji Bu come to command the army. If Ji Bu dies in the battle, let Luan Bu come. If Luan Bu dies in the battle, I will let him lead the army."
Then let the captain come. If the captain dies in battle, let the commander come!"
When the people around heard this, their expressions changed drastically. Ji Bu and others drew out their swords one after another and said, "I am willing to fight to the death with your Majesty!"
Liu Chang laughed and galloped out on horseback. Everyone followed behind him. The cavalry roared out and flew in the direction of the enemy.
Jizhu was very excited at the moment. After deciding to adjust his deployment, he first divided his army into three groups, surrounded Liu Chang from three sides, and deliberately drove him towards Wusun. At the same time, he sent scouts to contact Wusun and let them
He sent people to block the road ahead. He believed that no matter which army Liu Chang encountered, he would not be able to break through in a short time. As long as he was entangled, the rest of the army could immediately attack and annihilate his entire army.
Ji Zhou rode a tall horse and walked in the middle of the team, calmly listening to the reports from the scouts in various places.
The Wusun people sent scouts and said that they only encountered the Tang people once and their whereabouts were missing.
Ke Jizhou was not in a hurry. He was sure that Liu Chang must still be in this area. As long as the armies from all over the country advance slowly, they would be able to catch him somewhere sooner or later! Jizhou confidently said to his left and right: "You go back.
Tell my brother, please don't push forward easily, just stay where you are..."
The crisp sound of horse hooves suddenly broke Ji Zhou's next words.
Jizhu looked fiercely not far away, and a flag slowly appeared in the distance. The flag became higher and higher, gradually revealing his whole body. It was a black Tang flag, and under the flag, a group of people dressed in the same style
The knights, who were undoubtedly foreigners, were rushing towards their own direction. Jizhu was stunned for a moment, looked at it carefully for a moment, and then he was overjoyed and said, "Welcome the enemy! Send people quickly to inform the armies in various places and let them separate their troops and horses.
Come to the rescue!!!”
The Huns cavalry immediately charged in the direction of the enemy.
Liu Chang raised his spear high and pierced the charging Hun knights. With the powerful impact, Liu Chang even pierced three or four knights at once. Liu Chang had no time to pull out his spear and directly
He pulled out his sword and began to chop at the enemies in front of him. He waved it left and right, and he chopped off the Huns one after another. The formation used by Liu Chang was an awl, and Liu Chang was the awl head, and his elite knights
They took the front charge position, and the rest of the barbarians were in the middle.
Liu Chang didn't know how many times he was pecked on his body. He didn't feel any pain at all. He just kept slashing and killing. The white horse neighed and bumped into one war horse after another. Jizhu's army was very large. Just here.
There are more than 30,000 people...and most of them are elites sent by Maodun.
Liu Chang's awl directly smashed into the opponent's formation, but the further forward, the more difficult it became. Liu Chang was lucky, but his knights could not be as smooth as Liu Chang.
Jizhu did not go out to fight. He stood in the distance. The soldiers around him had not yet moved out. He observed the situation in the distance and suddenly laughed. The king of Tang was indeed very brave.
He has never seen such a brave person. He rushed into the cavalry just like a tiger charging into a flock of sheep. He was able to fight his way out with his own strength. However, this was a war involving tens of thousands of people. , Personal bravery is always limited. Now, the knights around him can no longer keep up with him. When he is separated from his army and is completely overwhelmed by the army, that will be his death.
At this moment, the Tang Wang flag behind Liu Chang suddenly changed and tilted to the left.
At this moment, Ji Bu, who was on the left, suddenly led his troops and left Liu Chang on his own initiative, heading towards the left direction to kill him. This sudden change of lane caused the charging Huns to be thrown into chaos, and their horses collided with each other. , one corner of the triangular cone suddenly separated and moved diagonally towards the left. At this time, the flag changed again, and Luan Bu also took advantage of the situation and rushed towards the right.
The original triangular pyramid now turned into three charging points. The Huns were cut into several pieces from the inside. The advantage of the cavalry could not be used much in such a messy and crowded battlefield. Jizhou was dumbfounded. , the Huns who had already charged over were unable to turn back at this moment. The battlefield was cut into several pieces. The Tang cavalry kept changing the direction of the charge, making the Huns unaware of their left and right sides, and the scene became very chaotic.
Jizhu hurriedly began to command the army. The Huns gave orders through trumpets.
Just when Jizhu was about to give the order, he suddenly discovered that after the chaos just now, there were fewer and fewer obstacles in front of Liu Chang. He was almost about to kill him in the army. Liu Chang waved the knife in his hand and slashed away. He killed the enemy's head in front of him, and the Xiongnu elite who stood in front of him were all extremely frightened at this moment. Is this still a human being?!?
On such a battlefield, as long as there is any fear or hesitation in the heart, there is only one end, death.
When Liu Chang reached the point where only a few panicked knights were left in front of him, he finally saw the Hun nobleman in the distance who was surrounded by people. The man was gorgeously dressed and looking at him with his eyes wide open. Liu Chang Chang laughed ferociously and galloped towards the man.
Jizhu's eyes were frightened and he shouted: "Stop him! Stop him!!"
Jizhu's soldiers rushed forward angrily. One of them waved the knife in his hand high, but before it fell, his arm was cut off. Liu Chang waved again, and the heads were separated, while the other several The soldiers realized something was wrong. They roared angrily and jumped up directly towards Liu Chang, trying to knock him down. Two or three people were immediately hanging on Liu Chang, but Liu Chang still faced the direction of Jizhu. Charging, he hit the Huns hanging on him with his elbows and even headbutted him!
Jizhu looked at Prince Tang, who was running toward him with people hanging on his body. He turned around and ran away without saying anything.
As the son of Mao Dun, he had practiced martial arts, riding, shooting, and fighting with his father since he was a child. He once shot and killed the enemy's general on the battlefield and was considered a famous warrior. However, Ji Zhou did not rush over to confront that man. The first thought... The person opposite is simply not a human being. Run! Run!
Liu Chang chased Jizhu, and the two ran one after the other.
In other words, the war horse under Jizhu's crotch is also a good horse, otherwise, he would have been killed by Liu Chang by now.
Liu Chang's horse became more and more tired. He saw the enemy getting further and further away from him. He roared, grabbed the knife from a Huns' hand, and threw it in the direction of Jizhu. Jizhu snorted. , he felt a sharp pain, and something stabbed his back shoulder, but he didn't dare to look back at all and ran faster and faster.
The Huns, who did not have a general to command them, relied entirely on their past instincts to fight. They did not understand why the cowardly remnants of the defeated army who were easily defeated by them were so brave at the moment. Liu Chang turned around and looked at
, looked at the chaotic situation, laughed, and immediately gave the flag bearer the order to start breaking out!!
ps: When Xiang Yu fights, he chases the opponent's general and slashes, leaving the opponent leaderless... Moreover, he chases the opponent's general and slashes in a physical sense. This style of fighting can be regarded as a strange thing in our country's military history.
