The brewing of war requires a process. The Huns and Han people have been at a life-and-death situation for hundreds of years. The great ancestor once led troops to attack the Huns. Unfortunately, the Baishan Mountain stop made the big man no longer able to raise his head. He had to swallow his anger and use women in exchange.
Peace. However, the Han people have never forgotten the shame and humiliation. After the hardships of the Wen and Jing dynasties, they finally gained some capital in the hands of Liu Che.
A great battle in Mayi completely ignited the anger and ambition in the hearts of the Han people. The Huns were not that terrible. They would also be killed and defeated. They would also cry like ghosts and howl and kneel down to beg for mercy. The battle in Mayi,
The Huns suffered heavy casualties, including their Chanyu. Of course, many Han people also died, but compared to the Xiongnu, the Han people could withstand it.
But the Huns are still Huns. As long as the Huns are not destroyed, the Han people and their emperors will not be able to sleep well, because the Huns have been pressing on the Han people for too long, and they will be frightened even in their dreams. So.
, for the Han people, the best Huns are dead Huns. This time the three-pronged army attacked the Huns, Liu Che was very determined. Even with the support of the Han Dynasty Bank, the treasury was still stretched. If this battle is
It's easy to say that you can win everything, but if you lose! From Liu Che, everyone will be the sinner of the Han Dynasty.
Su Ren was deeply aware of this, so he took every step very carefully. The test of the cannon was not Su Ren's impromptu decision. It was a decision he made after considering it for a long time. The cannon is indeed a good thing, but the forging of the big man is inferior.
The craftsmanship is completely inferior to one millionth of that of later generations. The cast bronze cannon looks majestic, but Su Ren knows that this thing is actually a disposable item. Judging from past experiments, no one can be fired a hundred times without exploding.
Bore.
The Huns did not move for three or five days, and Su Ren paced back and forth in the room anxiously. War requires money and food, and it is an endless need. War is actually a gold-devouring giant beast. No matter how rich a country is, it will always be swallowed up.
One day, it all depends on whether their general can completely defeat the enemy before spending the last copper.
Don't talk about millet and rifles defeating evil enemies. You need to know how much supplies the United States provided us back then, how much money we owed the United States, and more importantly, why great leaders obey the orders of some international organization, just because they are rich and willing to do anything for us.
Paying for the war.
Han Qing rushed in with a dusty look, holding a bamboo slip in his hand. Su Ren quickly asked: "How is it? Is there any movement from the Huns?"
Han Qing nodded heavily: "Yes, the King of Juntun is gathering his troops, and it seems that he will attack Yanmen within three days."
Su Ren let out a long breath: "Finally I was fooled. I immediately ordered everyone to get ready. There must be no accidents this time. We can't afford it! 80% of the military supplies in Li Cheng's hands have been spent. If the Huns
If we don't take action, we will have to leave the border to fight with the Huns."
"There should be no problem. The news also said that the situation of the Huns is not much better than ours. Because of the white disaster last winter, the Huns did not bring many livestock this time. They are more anxious than us."
"They must be nomadic. Now that spring has begun and the grass has sprouted, they can still persist. We are more passive."
Woo hoo..., bursts of horns were blown outside Yanmen Pass. The soldiers standing on the wall were jumped by the sight in front of them. Looking over the city top, all they could see were black heads, and a wave of people appeared from the horizon.
As they passed by in waves, the scene was so huge that it was unimaginable. A rough estimate showed that with the posture in front of me, there were not even 100,000 but 80,000 Huns.
Su Ren and his officers all stood at the top of the city, looking at the scene in front of them. No one said anything. The atmosphere that the war was about to begin was depressing but exciting. Xie Baichuan closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "Not yet.
I have seen such a spectacular scene. The Huns are probably coming in full force this time. If I can catch up, it means God has been kind to me. Even if I die in battle, I can rest in peace."
Lei was nodded: "Old General Xie said it well. It's not a waste of time to encounter such a war in your life, not to mention that I have encountered it twice. I can rest in peace. If you are lucky enough to live and see people, you can brag about it. No one has a grandpa."
Life is tough! Hahaha..."
"Hahaha..." Xie Baichuan laughed: "Captain Lei, how about we make an appointment?"
"About what?"
"If unfortunately I die in battle, I hope Captain Lei will take care of you. If Captain Lei is unfortunate, I will ensure that your Lei family will be rich for the next three generations!"
"Pa!" The two people's palms touched each other heavily, and they looked at each other and laughed. Then, all the generals, captains, and lieutenants on the entire city wall were laughing, and their laughter was so heroic that Su Ren was almost infected.
.
After glancing at the herald behind him, the herald immediately stood up and waved the red flag in his hand. In an instant, the city wall of Yanmen Pass seemed to come alive. Thousands of soldiers emerged from nowhere, and under their superiors
Under the leadership, he hurried to his position. The generals, captains, and captains in front of him laughed and clasped their fists in salute, and led their troops back to their positions.
A fast horse carrying the king's flag of the military camp quickly ran out of the Xiongnu camp and headed towards Yanmen Pass. It was still a hundred steps away from Yanmen Pass. It raised the king's flag high, and as soon as he opened his mouth, there was an arrow.
The arrow passed through his throat. The Hun cavalry did not make a sound and fell off the horse. The king's flag fell to the dust and became filthy after being stepped on by the overwhelmed war horse.
Five hundred steps is where the Xiongnu army stops. This is the garrison line determined by the Juntun King based on the news he received a few days ago. This position can ensure that the Han people's secret weapons will not hurt his army, but it has increased
The difficulty of attacking the city by oneself. Seeing his messenger soldiers being shot to death by the Han people, the military camp king gnashed his teeth in hatred. This was the Han people telling themselves that there was no need for any conversation between them, and it also showed that this battle would be very cruel.
Looking up at the high sun, King Juntun knew that a large number of his men would not be able to see the sunset in the afternoon, but he could only do this. If the Han people were not completely defeated, King Juntun could not tell Yizhi
He handed over obliquely, not to mention recruiting other tribes to fulfill his wish.
Turning his head to look at the handsome man wearing leather armor next to him, the military commander gritted his teeth and said, "Are you sure that the Han people don't have many secret weapons?"
Luan Da smiled: "At this time, the king is still hesitating? You must know that the most taboo thing before the war is that the commander is hesitant. The king did not do well to that boy in the year."
The King of Juntun snorted coldly: "Don't mention that this matter has nothing to do with you. I have found out your identity. The reason why you support me and Su Renyi so much is because of the hatred of your warlocks? Don't get excited, what I said
I haven’t finished talking yet.” The King of Juntun stared at Luan Da’s hand reaching for his waist and smiled slightly: “So the two of us are just using each other. As long as you can help me get what I want, I will definitely hand Su Ren over.
It’s in your hands! We great Huns are true to our word and will never lie to you!”
Luan Da let go of his hand and suppressed the murderous look on his face: "In that case, let's start? I don't want to wait too long."
The horn horn is the most commonly used method of transmitting messages by the Huns. Depending on the length and euphemism of the horn, the meaning of the horn is very different. The horn sound just now was melodious and high-pitched, which was the horn of attack. The Huns slowly came down.
They picked up their horses, packed up their equipment and weapons. They were very unaccustomed to fighting the enemy standing on the ground, and preferred to run wildly. However, today they had no choice but to fight the Han people in the way they least liked.
.
Yi Zhixie and the King of Juntun both thought of using the oldest and most effective method to deal with the Han people, but this time it was different. This time the Han people entered their own territory. If it was the same as before, how many pastures would be destroyed and how much losses would be lost?
How many cattle and sheep? This is what they don't want to see. They have no choice but to use the method they least like to attack the Han people. These Xiongnu soldiers must head west as soon as possible after capturing Yanmen Pass, otherwise Wei Qing and Li Guang will really attack them.
's territory.
Howling was a method used by the Huns to herd sheep and drive away wolves. Howling while riding their horses could show their strong physique and superb equestrian skills, and it could also intimidate enemies and enemies who dared to harm them.
The beast's howling today was really not as ferocious as before. After a few symbolic shouts, seeing that the city wall of Yanmen Pass was still far away, no one wanted to shout anymore. He tried his best to rush towards Yanmen Pass with his bow legs.
Liu Jian's archer battalion was the first wave of force to stop the Huns. Just when the Huns were thankful that they were not strangled by the Han's secret weapons, a flurry of arrows flew high from the wall of Yanmen Pass. At this time, the Huns were close
Yanmen Pass is still three hundred steps away.
The king of Juntun stood on the high ground at the back of the army, where he could overlook the entire battlefield: "Can the Han people's bows and arrows shoot three hundred steps?"
Luan Da shook his head: "As far as I know, it is absolutely impossible. The strongest bows among the Han army are only 200. These are already the best bows and arrows. Only a few of the others can
Use a five-stone hard bow to shoot an arrow 250 paces away, and there will never be a more powerful arrow."
"Then why are the Han people firing arrows now? Do they have too many arrows and are deliberately humiliating us?"
Before the King of Juntun and Luan Da'e finished speaking, shrill screams and shouts came from the fighting place. The Han people's arrows rained down on the Huns, and their small round shields could not stop the rain of arrows from the sky.
, they could only fall down in waves, each one howling miserably.
"This..." Han Qing frowned, and it took him a long time to relax: "Did your research on the recurve bow succeed?"
Su Ren took a sip of tea and nodded with a smile: "This is not my achievement. It is the result of three years of research by the Mo family in the academy. It was reserved for the war with the Huns. I was the first to use it.
That’s all.”
"This is a sacred object. With the recurve bow, we will no longer be afraid of the Huns' cavalry charges! Before they can get close, we can shoot them all under the horses!"
"There are advantages and disadvantages. Although the recurve bow is powerful, it is difficult to control and make. In the past three years, the Mohist family has only made 5,000, and equipped them with 4,000 for Wei Qing and General Li. We only have one here.
There are thousands of them, and if they are damaged, there won't even be a spare." Turning around, he said to the messenger: "Go, tell Liu Jian and ask him to use it sparingly. When the Huns rush to the city, there will be good things waiting for them!" (Unfinished)
