"Your Majesty...good news...good news..." Liu Che's personal guard Feng Yong walked in and bowed with great joy: "Thanks to your majesty's great blessing, General Chariot and Cavalry has destroyed King Li of the Xiongnu Yougu and won his head..."
Liu Che suddenly stood up.
This news of victory comes just in time!
"Shan!" He ordered Ji An, who was still stunned, "Get the map quickly!"
Only then did Ji An realize what he was doing, he quickly ran to get the map with a smile and put it in front of Liu Che.
"Where did the chariots annihilate King Yougu Li?" Liu Che asked, looking at the map.
"Report to your majesty, it is thirty miles outside Juyang City..." Feng Yong replied: "According to the report, the cavalry uses breastplates as the front, Xiliu Camp and the light cavalry of the northern and southern armies as the two wings. Zhao Jiande, the Prime Minister of the State of Zhao,
The internal historian Zhang Shang led Zhao State troops to encircle the main force of King Youguli from the north and south. They surrounded the main force of the Xiongnu King Youguli outside Juyang City and defeated it in one fell swoop. Only more than 10,000 northern captives broke through the encirclement. The rest either died or surrendered. The chariots and cavalry are being counted.
The results of the battle..."
Liu Che nodded after hearing this, then looked at the map and found Juyang.
Juyang is several hundred miles behind the Great Wall, approximately in the area of Huailai County, Hebei Province in later generations, and about four to five hundred miles away from Yuyang County.
Judging from the time, the battle should have taken place the day before yesterday or the day before yesterday.
This means that now, the Yi Zong Division has the ability to maneuver again.
Going north from Juyang and passing Juyongguan, you can enter Yuyang County and Yanji area.
Considering that some Huns cavalry have escaped, it will take time to deal with them, but the defeated generals can be handed over to Zhao Jun soldiers, Shanggu Jun soldiers and Lou Fan troops.
After Yi Zong and the Feihu Army turn around, they should head north immediately.
This is an army with a total strength of more than 40,000 cavalry, and is fully capable of fighting the main force of the Xiongnu in Yuyang and Youbeiping.
What's more, the Huns' troops are now dispersed.
Judging from the military reports from Yuyang County, Youbeiping County and Yanji County, the military officials are now divided into four groups.
They walked all the way to Youbeiping, until they reached Pinggang, the seat of the county seat of Youbeiping. There were about 20,000 people along this way.
Their opponent, the governor of Youbeiping County, Ji Ban, did not have enough troops and had problems with his food reserves.
Therefore, the losses were relatively large. According to the report, Youbeiping County had 12,000 county soldiers before the war, but now, there are only more than 7,000 capable of fighting.
The rest were either killed or wounded and lost their combat effectiveness.
Therefore, Youbeiping was once in great danger. The entire defense line was riddled with holes and was almost undefendable.
At the most dangerous time, the Huns cavalry could even bypass Pinggang and appeared in the area bordering Yuyang and Youbeiping.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, reinforcements from Liaodong County and Liaoxi County arrived, and a large number of merchants' retinues and guards also invested in defending the city, and the defense line was barely maintained.
Even so, You Beiping still had a hard time defending.
After all, the Huns were all cavalry, and Youbeiping was poor, with less than a thousand cavalry.
It's just a passive beating.
If Liu Che had not urgently notified the soldiers and civilians of Youbeiping in advance, I am afraid that Han County would have fallen by now.
Maybe even Liaoxi and Liaodong counties might be attacked by the Xiongnu!
On the front line of Yuyang, the elite soldiers of the Royal Court, led by military ministers in person, placed troops under the Yuyang Fortress. As of today, the Yuyang offensive and defensive battle has been going on for four days.
Judging from the intelligence, Bo Shishou also worked very hard.
Judging from the reports, the Huns used many new siege weapons.
For example, there are huge towers that are said to be more than ten feet high, as well as fortresses made of wood to protect the Huns from attacking.
Simple trebuchets and fire bombs also appeared.
Liu Che knew that these things were exactly the technology of ancient Greece.
Alexander the Great brought them to the east from Europe 6, and they have been spreading in the territories of Bactria and Seleucid dynasties.
The Huns must have acquired these technologies during their western expedition.
If it had been in the past, or if the Han family had not prepared, the military officials might have been able to capture Yuyang Fortress.
But it is a pity that the current Han Dynasty is far from comparable to the past.
The most important thing is that the Han Dynasty has already made preparations.
In the Yanji area alone, more than 70,000 county soldiers have been mobilized.
Although most of them are farmers and not regular soldiers, they are fully capable of defending the city and shooting at each other.
Therefore, the poor defense of Yuyang Fortress can be sustained by constantly rotating troops.
Therefore, the Huns had no choice but to detach an army and attack the fox slaves behind Yuyang Sai from the flank.
In the other direction, Li Guang, the governor of Yuyang County, led the soldiers of Yuyang County to resist in Yaoyang and Baitan, and retreated all the way to the Guangping area, relying on the Great Wall to continue to block the advance of the Huns' cavalry.
Liu Che looked at the map and sighed: "If there is enough time, then it is possible that the Yanzhao area can handle the military officials without Yi Zong!"
This may seem arrogant, but it is actually true.
In this war, in more than a month since the Huns' intentions were discovered, more than 180,000 militiamen have been mobilized and armed in the Yanzhao area.
This is not bragging or exaggerating numbers, but a real and solid army.
The armor is complete and the organization is complete.
There was even a cavalry force totaling more than 20,000 people!
And if you tell me the origin of these cavalry, you may not believe it.
From people to horses to equipment, they were all organized by local powerful men and nobles.
This is equivalent to the later generation monkey trying to jump. As a result, the people of Guangxi pulled out five armored divisions overnight, and all the people drove the tanks and dragged the artillery to the front line.
Just ask the monkey if he is afraid?
Moreover, according to the report, if necessary, the Yanzhao area can also pull out the same number of cavalry!
This is awesome!
Even Liu Che could not have imagined that the war potential among the Han people today would be so great.
This means that if it continues, over time, the Han Dynasty will only need one hand to defeat the Xiongnu Empire in its heyday!
Even now, as long as the troops in the Yanzhao area are thoroughly mobilized and organized properly, they are still capable of driving back the Huns.
The civilian armaments are so strong.
This made Liu Che very proud and strengthened his determination to continue to implement the fake horse policy of hiding troops from the people.
People should learn to ride horses, archery, and fight.
Just like people in later generations have to learn to drive.
With such a foundation, no matter how strong the enemy is, no matter how arrogant the nomads are, they will have to kneel down in front of the Han family and call daddy.
It is precisely because of this that Bo Shi, Li Guang and Ji Ban were able to rely on the broken defense line to withstand the crazy attacks of the Huns one after another.
Liu Che looked at the map, but suddenly became worried.
"If the Huns want to run away, where will they run?" Liu Che turned to ask his personal guard Feng Yong.
