One thousand five hundred and forty-five asymmetric battle 2
This is completely an asymmetric war!
Almost all the witnesses had this thought in their hearts at this moment.
The Han cavalry, like flexible butterflies, played a music of death with their speed and precise shooting.
Within a quarter of an hour, Lin Hu's blocking cavalry had completely lost its combat effectiveness.
More than 900 horses fell dead on the battlefield, and thousands of Linhu cavalry lost their mounts.
What's even more frightening is that the Han army was not injured at all.
"This is simply an adult beating a child..." Chen Xu, who was watching the battle from a distance, put down the telescope in his hand, feeling triumphant and full of pride.
At this moment, Chen Xu looked like the commander of the American army during the Gulf War, arrogant and arrogant!
Lin Huren, on the other hand, completely collapsed.
Because, they discovered that the opponents they faced were not at the same level as them at all.
These cavalrymen of the Han Dynasty were like heavenly soldiers and generals, the invincible legions in myths and legends.
They walked with the wind, singing about death and praising war.
The rumbling sound of horse hoofs will shake the hearts of the Linhu people every time. The vibrating bow strings are like the low moans from hell. Every time they are pulled apart, the hearts of the Linhu people will tighten.
"It's over..." Xiannu looked at his army with a pale face. He finally understood why the whole grassland was preaching that "the Han cavalry is less than ten thousand, and the Han cavalry is invincible".
This army is no longer able to be resisted by any people who lead the bow!
Their riding skills are superior to any nomads, they are real riders!
Their shooting skills are unparalleled, like art!
What's even more exaggerated is that their tactics are simply incredible!
No matter how unwilling Xie Nu was, he could only admit that the Han army had redefined the cavalry and brought it to its peak!
The Xianbei people and Wuheng people witnessed this moment.
Their mood suddenly soared to the clouds.
The previous despair has turned into a longing for victory!
"Warriors! Master Wang is here to save us!" At this moment, Qiu Keju shouted with tears in his face like the King of Kuwait: "Master Wang will defeat the Linhu people soon, we are victorious!"
"Long live! Long live the Emperor of Han!" Xianbei cavalry and Wuheng cavalry raised their arms loudly, and then entered the battle with completely different attitudes.
Lin Hu Cavalry immediately felt great pressure.
In the era of cold weapons, the impact of morale on the army is absolute.
An army with fighting will and high morale and an army with low morale and emotional breakdown are two different things!
Lin Hu's cavalry suffered a heavy setback immediately!
In just a few moments, hundreds of Linhu cavalry were killed by the counterattacking Wuheng Xianbei cavalry.
……………………
In just two quarters of an hour, Dan Linzhe came from heaven to hell.
He looked around and saw that the whole world was collapsing.
In front, the two thousand cavalry he sent to intercept the Han Dynasty cavalry had completely collapsed.
The soldiers who were severely defeated by the Han army fled in panic, and countless war horses fell dead on the entire grassland.
Hundreds of unlucky souls were wailing in pain on the ground. They were poor people who were knocked to the ground by their own mounts and trampled by the panicked horses of friendly forces and seriously injured.
Xiannu's department no longer exists.
There is no army on the grassland that can still continue to fight after losing more than half of its combat strength.
The devilish Han cavalry paid no attention to the collapsed Linhu cavalry. They completed their reorganization hundreds of steps away.
The neat queue came towards us with great momentum.
The knights sang war hymns, and their chants resounded throughout the grassland.
Although Dan Linzhe could not understand what the Han army was singing, the melodious melody and high-pitched chanting made him understand that the Han Dynasty people were already celebrating victory!
victory?
etc!
Did the Han people think they won?
No!
Dan Linzhe clenched his fists, he would not admit defeat!
"These Han Dynasty people can only shoot from a distance, not close combat!" Dan Linzhe looked at the Xianbei and Wuheng people who were entangled with him. He shouted loudly to his army: "We are better than the Han Dynasty army.
The number of people is more than three times greater! Even if three were replaced by one, the Han Dynasty would still be defeated!"
He tried to boost morale and restore the morale and confidence of his army. He pointed at the entangled Wuheng cavalry and Xianbei cavalry and said: "You have all seen that as long as we seize the opportunity, we will definitely defeat the Han Dynasty!"
The Linhu cavalry finally regained some confidence. At least, they had no fear in front of the Xianbei and Wuheng people.
Unfortunately, Cavalry Lin and Hu's confidence soon completely collapsed.
Because, behind them, billowing smoke ignited.
Hundreds of Han cavalry were on the flanks of the Linhu people, constantly attacking the Linhu people's homes with rockets.
This kind of rockets made of whale oil were constantly scattered on the Linhu people's domes and various types of forage and wood, and immediately set these places on fire.
The fire spread quickly, and the camp of the Linhu tribe suddenly became panicked.
"It's time to give them the final blow!" Chen Xu waved his hand after seeing this situation.
Then, following the direction of the Han army's flag, thousands of cavalry thundered and swept in like a violent wind.
At the same time, Zhang Gudu's troops also encountered the main force of Lin Hu who surrounded and entangled the Wuheng and Xianbei people.
Dan Linzhe's precise archery skills and superb riding skills immediately made Dan Linzhe feel desperate!
Coupled with the attack on the old nest, chaos reigned.
Dan Linzhe could only choose to lead his troops to retreat, but now it was the Wuheng and Xianbei people's turn who refused to agree.
The Wuheng and Xianbei people, who had suffered heavy losses in the previous battle, now urgently needed military exploits and heads to make up for their losses.
They clung to the main force of Lin Hu's cavalry and refused to let them escape.
Cooperating with Zhang Gudu's troops, what did Lin Hu Cavalry feel like?
A quarter of an hour later, the main force of the Han army arrived, and Lin Hu's cavalry fell into despair.
Dan Linzhe looked back at the burning camp and the panicked tribe members.
Then he looked at the screaming and fleeing soldiers and the collapsed nobles, and he stared blankly at the world.
He couldn't understand why the two Han armies behaved so differently.
Obviously, although the previous Han army was well-equipped, it was not invincible. It could even be said that it was completely possible to defeat it.
But this army behind...
But it was more powerful than he imagined.
With their superb archery skills and perfect riding skills, it seems that each of them can rival the ace of the Huns he had seen before - the Condor Shooter!
An entire cavalry consisting entirely of Condor Shooters!
Even the Xiongnu Empire in its heyday had that invincible army under the command of Shanyu!
What's even more terrifying is that the tactics of these Han Dynasty cavalry are extremely vicious.
If you can shoot a horse, you will never shoot a man!
This is a vicious choice that makes Lin Hu completely despair!
Without their war horses, the Linhu people were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
There is no choice but to wait for death!
"Your Majesty, let's run!" Xie Nu cried and led people to Dan Linzhe: "If you don't run, it will be too late! You are the last prince of the Dan Lin people and the last heir to You Tu She! You can't die here.
!”
"Run?" Dan Linzhe laughed: "The world is so big, where can I run?"
Now, his tribe is screaming in flames and chaos.
His army collapsed in despair and helplessness.
The main force of the Han Dynasty has also arrived.
The Linhu tribe will be destroyed today!
Even if he could run away, where could he go?
The ancestral land in Munan is now under the control of the Han Dynasty, and the nomadic land in Nanchi cannot be returned to.
Go to Chang Lin or go to Weiwei?
Become a slave to these tribes?
Dan Lin is not willing to die!
He is the last prince of the Danlin people, a descendant of the spirits in the forest, the adopted brother of Yin Zhixie, and the adopted son of King Youxian of the Huns.
"Then let's surrender..." Xiannu said, "I heard that that bastard is doing well in Longcheng. The servant in Loufan is also doing well in the Han Dynasty. With his status as a king,
, even if he surrenders, the emperor of the Han Dynasty must at least be granted the title of marquis! Maybe, with the support of the people of the Han Dynasty, the king can become a chanyu..."
"Hahaha..." Dan Linzhe looked up to the sky and roared.
surrender?
This is indeed a wonderful temptation!
The people who lead the bow never shy away from surrendering, and are even proud to serve the strong.
but……
He can't surrender!
He is the adopted son of King Youxian and the adopted brother of Yin Zhixie. He is among the top ten on the hate list of the emperor of the Han Dynasty!
Even if the people of the Han Dynasty forget it temporarily, someone will tell them one day - who is Dan Linzhe?
At that time, old and new grudges will be settled together, and it will be so refreshing...
"There is only King Linhu who died in battle...there is no King Linhu who surrendered!" Dan Linzhe said to Xienu: "King Zhao Wuling of the Han Dynasty could not make the great Danlin people surrender. The people of the Han Dynasty are even more
no!"
He turned to Xienu and said: "It's you, my loyal slave, you go! Take the people away, go to Mubei and tell Hu Lushe and Juli Lake that without 400,000 cavalry, don't cross the Gonglu River! Absolutely not!"
"
Although Dan Linzhe still can't understand why the two Han armies were so different.
But he already understood that the strength of the Han Dynasty's cavalry was not just blown away.
This army, compared with the army of the people who lead the bow, is not at the same level at all.
There is a huge generational difference between the two not only in equipment but also in tactics.
There is also a huge gap in technology and tactics!
The Northern Huns' cavalry is less than 400,000. If they cross the Gonglu River rashly, it is no different than committing suicide!
The Han Dynasty cavalry will easily beat the Northern Xiongnu army into slag!
Just like how they easily wiped out the Linhu tribe today.
The Northern Huns are now the last hope for the entire Yinggong people.
If they fail, the people who lead the bow will cease to exist.
The Han Dynasty people will rule the entire world until the end of time!
…………………………
In the spring and second month of the eighth year of Yuande, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
The last Lin Hu King died in the upper reaches of the Western Liao River in the battle of Dan Lin Zhe.
There were only more than 2,000 of his remnants who escaped from the battlefield, and the rest were either dead or surrendered.
Lin Hu, this ancient tribe, finally came to an end.
When the news came out, Mu Nan was shocked, countless people were frightened and their necks felt cold.
…………………………………………
On the other side, Zhidu commanded the Zhongyong Army, the Loufan Army and some of the servant cavalry from the Great Wall tribes. There were about 20,000 cavalry, all the way from Shunde to Nanchi.
It took ten days to complete an armed march.
Along the way, countless tribesmen made pots of food and drink to welcome the king's troops.
Tribes, large and small, cried and shouted, wanting to join the warm embrace of the Han Dynasty father.
Zhidu followed the good example and sent people to settle these Guiyi tribes near the Great Wall while continuing to march.
Other tribes that were unwilling to surrender immediately retreated like frightened birds.
More than 3,000 cavalry in the vanguard of Zhidu, led by Cavalry Captain Zhao Huan, arrived in the later Erenhot territory in the spring and February of the eighth year of Yuande, and immediately, under the guidance of Lou Fanren, seized the most important strategic location here.
Place - Salt Lake.
In fact, the Mongolian name of Erenhot in later generations was Erendabusannaoer, which means colorful salt lake.
At this time, salt is an absolutely indispensable and important resource for all parts of the grassland.
Neither humans nor animals can live without salt.
Without salt, all tribes would have to wait to die.
This place is the most important natural salt pond in the northern part of Munan and the western part of the Xilingol Grassland.
It is the main source of salt from all parts of the world.
After occupying this place, the Han army controlled the entire Xilingol Grassland and northern Munan.
At the same time, news of the Linhu tribe's defeat also spread throughout Munan.
In one day, a large tribe with a population of more than 40,000 was wiped out in front of the Han army.
This incident deeply shocked the nobles of various tribes.
This deepened the fear of the Han Dynasty in various ministries.
Even the most stubborn nomads have to consider their own future and survival.
For the people who lead the bow, it is never shameful to submit to and serve the strong.
If it hadn't been for the Han Dynasty to forcefully implement the policy of reorganizing households and reorganizing the people, I'm afraid most of the tribes would have knelt down by now.
Even the toughest creep can only follow his inner instinct of surrender to the strong.
Nowadays, in the face of the big issue of life and death, more and more people's knots continue to be broken.
The Changlin tribe immediately fell into a precarious situation.
Every day, nobles took their troops and herdsmen to escape from the control of Changlin Dangtu.
In just seven days, thousands of people from the Changlin tribe fled.
The rest of the people are also panic-stricken.
Many people shouted "loyalty to the king to the death" in front of their faces, but secretly they were secretly planning to escape and return to the Han Dynasty.
This made Changlin Dangtu furious and helpless.
After all, the Changlin tribe has too little heritage.
It is simply impossible to unite people at such a critical moment.
What's even more terrifying is that the nobles below are secretly planning to kill Chang Lin Dangtu and take his head to the Han Dynasty to receive a reward.
Under the crisis, Changlin Dangtu had no choice but to go north to join the Creepers, even though he actually hated the Creepers very, very much.
At this time, news came that the Han army had taken control of the Salt Lake. When Changlin Dangtu heard the news, he was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood.
He understood that now, whether it was him, the Weiwei people, or anyone else who was unwilling to submit to the Han Dynasty, they had to fight.
