The eighth hundred and twentieth eighth chapter ambush from ten sides (2)
Fortunately, since the establishment of Wuyuan, the officers from the Northern and Southern armies of the Han Dynasty and the Huben and Yulin guards have all been to Wuyuan for a month-long rotation training.
This kind of rotation training is actually a kind of recharge, cramming some basic common sense and secret war examples from the past into their heads.
The Battle of Haixia, as a battle to establish the Han Dynasty, is also one of the most famous classic battles in modern times.
Naturally, it was all stuffed into the officer's mind.
Whether you understand or not is the same thing.
Whether you can remember it or not is a major issue related to promotion and promotion.
Especially the Huben Guards and Yulin Guards, officers above the team leader level, want to be promoted?
Let’s first take a test of basic military common sense and understanding of classic battle examples.
At this moment, Yi Zong had just mentioned House of Flying Daggers.
Countless officers naturally remembered the entire process of the Battle of Haixia and the deployment and stalemate between the Chu and Han armies that they had been forced to write down.
This is the benefit of cramming education.
No matter what, at the very least, what is taught is really poured into people's brains.
Many people mentally recalled the process of the Han army in the Battle of Haixia.
To be honest, in fact, the situation under Mayi City now is completely different from the situation when the Han army was under Haixia.
At the very least, the objects of encirclement are two enemies that are completely opposite to each other.
The Chu army commanded by Xiang Yu was besieged at Haixia. The backbone was composed of Jiangdong disciples, mainly tribesmen. The entire Chu army numbered more than 100,000 people and only had a few thousand riders.
But the Xiongnu coalition forces now surrounded by the Han army are pure cavalry troops.
Therefore, at Haixia, the Han army could leisurely set up layers of interceptions.
Anyway, where can two-legged infantry run away if they are still seriously short of food?
But now, the situation is completely different.
Give the cavalry a chance to escape?
Once the Huns jumped out of the encirclement of the Han army,
Then, I'm afraid the Han army will be in vain.
Of course, there is not no good news.
First of all, the Han army now knows that the Xiongnu coalition will soon run out of food!
Since Wuzhou Fortress fell into the hands of the Han army, the Huns cavalry in these encirclements could only rely on the dry food and cheese they carried with them to replenish their physical strength.
How much dry food and cheese can a cavalryman carry?
Moreover, past battle cases and experiences also told the Han army and the Huns that without logistical support, they could only continue fighting for ten days at most.
Therefore, in the early days, the Huns attacked when the moon was waxing and returned when the moon was waning.
Even if they start saving food after finding themselves surrounded, they can only last a few more days at most.
And, more importantly - the Xiongnu coalition forces in the encirclement can also eat the dry food and cheese they carry with them.
What do horses eat?
An army of 30,000 people. According to the Xiongnu's standard configuration of riding two horses, that is 50,000 or 60,000 war horses.
Now, the entire territory within the encirclement is only seventy or eighty miles in radius.
In such a narrow area, it is impossible to provide enough grass for 50,000 to 60,000 war horses.
Thinking of this, a captain of the Han army stood up and said: "The general thinks that our army must tire out the Huns' horses first..."
Someone immediately added: "The Huns should be driven into the mountains immediately..."
These are officers from the Huben Guard and the Yulin Guard.
Obviously, they were still following Han Xin's plan to suppress the Chu army in the Battle of Haixia.
But if they can achieve this level, they are already qualified.
After all, before today, most of them were just Zhao Kuo who talked on paper.
Therefore, Yi Zong was not too demanding, nodded and said: "Your ideas are very good. But..."
He also came from Xiaobai back then, so of course he knew that a general would have to grow up slowly.
Many things require personal experience in order to understand what is the right thing to do and what is the wrong thing to do.
"But our army needs to fight quickly now. We don't have much time to fight with the Huns..."
Yi Zong took the baton, clicked on the map, and said: "My colleagues from Xiliu Camp captured Nanchi six or seven days ago..."
"According to the confessions obtained during the interrogation of the prisoners, the Huns would have envoys coming and going every five days to deliver news. It happened that the day when Xiliu Camp captured Nanchi was the day when the Huns envoys went to Shan Yuting to report the situation..." Yi Zong read
He led the generals and said solemnly: "In other words, at this moment, Shan Yuting of the Xiongnu, even a fool, knows that there is something wrong with Yin Zhixie's troops!"
"Perhaps at this moment, the main force of Xiongnu Shan Yuting has already set off south. This is a huge army with at least 100,000 riders!" Yi Zong took a deep breath and said.
Now, at least on paper, the number of Xiongnu cavalry is at least twice that of the Han army.
Moreover, it is different from the Han Dynasty.
The cavalry of the Han army were scattered throughout the country.
The long Great Wall defense line involved a large number of effective forces of the Han Dynasty.
However, the Huns could concentrate their superior forces to fight against the Han army.
If the Han army cannot solve the Xiongnu coalition forces in the encirclement before the main force of Shan Yuting arrives at Wuzhou Fortress.
Then, the Huns allied forces in the encirclement would most likely escape.
In fact, Yi Zong felt that as long as the main force of Shan Yuting appeared at the Great Wall, the Han army would most likely have to take the initiative to let the Huns troops in the encirclement circle leave.
As a relative, Yi Zong knew very well that even the emperor was not ready for a decisive battle with the main force of the Huns.
"So, our army doesn't have much time to waste!"
If you let the tiger go back to the mountain, there will be endless troubles.
If the Xiongnu coalition forces in the encirclement were allowed to escape, then they would most likely tell the Huns about the progress of the Han army's cavalry and the superiority of the Han army's equipment.
There's not much else next to it.
But the manufacturing technology of stirrups and saddles can be copied with a little effort.
Even horseshoes, I guess the Huns could copy them.
Possibly, their manufacturing technology and processes are primitive and simple.
But yes and no, they are two different things!
………………………………
The Han army was discussing.
From outside the city of Mayi, in the camp of the Huns allied forces retreating north.
Yin Zhixie, Aries Wang Gushe and Lou Fan Wang were also having a meeting.
The theme of their meeting was a few captured Han army horses and a few prisoners.
These prisoners of war and war horses were the result of the Xiongnu army ambushing a cavalry team of the Han army that was sent out for reconnaissance and warning.
Yin Zhi looked sideways at the sets of Han army saddles placed in front of him. His mood was filled with excitement and despair.
No one knows more about the changes these riding equipment will bring to the cavalry than those who grew up on horses.
"We must send these riding gear back to the country!" Yin Zhi said in a deep voice: "We must not let these riding gear, they are only available in the Han Dynasty!"
This time, Yin Zhixie already knew very well that both he and the Xiongnu had fallen into a huge trap.
The powerful and invincible Zhelan tribe was even destroyed because of this.
Even the morale of the remaining tribal cavalry has hit rock bottom.
Now, except for a few people, most of the soldiers have lost their courage.
What's worse is that the army has run out of food.
Starting yesterday, the army had to slaughter injured horses to feed the soldiers.
But for a 30,000-strong army, the daily consumption of people and horses is astronomical.
It would be impossible to survive for more than a few days by slaughtering injured horses.
Soon, the army will be forced to kill even those healthy horses to satisfy their hunger.
What's even more troublesome is that there's not enough fodder.
Before the expedition, all Xiongnu tribes believed that this was an armed march as relaxed and enjoyable as the previous southern invasions in the past decades.
With 40,000 cavalry, including aces like Zhelan, they raided Mayi City, a city where the Han army was exposed outside the protection of the Great Wall.
Not to mention having it at your fingertips, it should be extremely enjoyable.
Therefore, the army did not bring any reserves of hay at all.
Everyone is thinking about fighting to feed war.
However, now, it has turned into a disaster.
The Zhelan tribe's entire army was wiped out, and only two to three thousand defeated troops who were beaten to collapse by the Han army escaped.
The rest were probably wiped out by the Han army.
After being compressed into this small area, the horses of each tribe immediately fell into the same hunger as humans.
Now, there are less than 10,000 war horses in the entire army that can maneuver over long distances.
Other war horses can probably run a few miles.
But if it exceeds ten miles, the horse may lose strength.
Therefore, the mobility of the coalition forces has actually hit rock bottom.
Yin Zhixie didn't even have any doubts. In ten days, the coalition forces would change from cavalry to infantry.
By that time, the coalition forces will collapse without the need for Han troops to attack.
Moreover, an even more troublesome problem is - there is a big trouble within the coalition forces!
Even many nobles and lower-level cavalrymen within Yin Zhixie's headquarters, Wanqi, have fallen into a vicious cycle of self-denial.
Many people are secretly using clay to shape a statue of the Han Dynasty emperor, praying and repenting every morning and evening.
Even shamans have joined the queue.
Yin Zhixie understood what was going on.
If you want to blame, blame the military officials!
In the summer, he performed a magic dance in Dragon City, pretending to be a ghost and claiming that he had received the protection of the gods.
At that time, the authority and status of military ministers were greatly strengthened and consolidated.
However, when the Xiongnu coalition forces were surrounded outside Mayi City, even the Zhelan tribe was destroyed.
The backlash of the military ministers' pretense of magic immediately broke out.
Countless nobles and lower-level cavalry all felt that the gods behind the Chan Yu were not as powerful as the gods behind the Han emperor.
The nomadic people on the grassland have always been a contradictory entity that is both ignorant and shrewd, simple and cunning.
As a single group, their worship of gods and unknown powers transcends ethnic and national boundaries.
The teachings of shamanism also advocate that all things have animism.
Some Huns even sacrificed and worshiped stones, animal bones and special tall plants.
Anthropomorphic gods and self-invented gods are all over the streets.
Since the gods behind the emperors of the Han Dynasty were indeed more powerful than the gods of Chanyu in the face of facts.
So, it is not surprising at all that they abandoned the gods they believed in and turned to the emperor of the Han Dynasty to worship and praise him as a god.
Yin Zhixie simply could not imagine that the Hun nobles and cavalry who worshiped the Han emperor as a god would point their weapons at their god's army!
Moreover, phenomena like this are already showing signs of snowballing.
It's like a plague, the infection is getting faster and faster.
If this continues, within a few days, the issue Yin Zhixie will have to consider will no longer be how to fight the Han army.
But how to kill all these damn traitors!
Yin Zhixie was thinking about these things in his mind, but on the surface he said impassionedly: "These equipments are related to the future life and death of the Huns. I, Tu She, implore the two kings to make sacrifices for the Huns!"
When King Lou Fan and King Aries heard this, they looked at each other and then asked, "What kind of sacrifice does Tushe want us to make?"
"I have several businessmen from the Han Dynasty under Tu She. They know that there is a small road in the northwest that can cross the foothills of Wuzhou Mountain and enter the grassland..." Yin Zhi said in a deep voice: "But the area is guarded by Han troops.
If you want to pass rashly, you will inevitably be intercepted by the Han army, so..."
Yin Zhi bit her lip sideways and said: "I want to invite two great kings to cover me and make a breakout towards Wuzhou Fortress in the north to attract the attention of the Han army..."
"Huh?" Aries Wang Gushe immediately became alert.
Yin Zhixie wants to escape!
Moreover, he and King Lou Fan were to be used as shields while he and others escaped!
Is there such a simple thing?
King Aries immediately said: "Tu She's idea is very good, but why doesn't Tu She provide cover for me and King Lou Fan?"
After hearing what Aries King said, Lou Fan King also reacted.
"Yes, why didn't Tushe cover for us?" Of course King Lou Fan was not stupid.
You, Yin Zhixie, want us to be your cover and you can escape on your own?
Dream on!
We are not familiar with each other, and besides, in order to survive on the grassland, not only brothers, but also their parents can stab them!
When Yin Zhixie heard this, his face darkened and he stared at King Lou Fan and King Aries.
"This Tu She is a descendant of the Luotang family, and the only direct bloodline of my boss is the Great Chanyu!" Yin Zhixie said sternly: "If I die in battle, what will the Luantang family do?"
"The Chan Yu and Prince Yu Shan..." King Aries said with all his face, "Tu She wants to take over the Chan Yu Court, but I'm afraid he is not qualified..."
"Moreover, even if something happens, Shan Yuting can still welcome King Hujie!"
Yin Zhixie seemed to be caught off guard by Gu She's move.
He thought for a long time, seemed to have been struggling for a long time, and then said sadly: "The two kings are right, Shan Yuting can do without Yin Zhixie, but he can't live without Aries and Lou Fan. Then, Tushe will go and attract the Han army
, the two kings took the opportunity to break out, is this okay?"
The Aries King listened and nodded with satisfaction.
If there is a way to survive, of course he is willing to take it.
However, Aries Wang Gushe did not notice.
At an inadvertent moment, Yin Zhixie and Lou Fanwang both had a proud smile on their lips.
At that moment, the two of them almost sneered in their hearts at the same time.
"Gu shoot this idiot!"
"I was tricked by Yin Zhixie (me)!"
To the northwest, where did the path come from?
Even if there were, the mountains over there are towering, complex terrain, and full of forests.
Can you climb over? (To be continued.)
PS: My condition is extremely bad today and I feel very tired!
Apply for a day off~The outbreak will continue tomorrow~
Then, by the way.
The Hujie tribe is a white race. They are the ancestors of the Shi Zhao regime. Well, they are the cannibals of Shi Zhao during the Wuhu rebellion in China.
