Chapter 419 There are always some geniuses who belong to war
The Huns no longer dared to fight Li Mu head-on. They began to use the terrain they were familiar with to fight Li Mu. Although Li Mu brought a guide, he still did not dare to pursue the Huns cavalry who suddenly appeared and disappeared. Li Mu was afraid.
The soldiers sent out would get lost and encounter ambushes. Zhao Kang got his wish and took the cavalry out. He left the main army with many guides.
The cavalry led by Zhao Kang was about 10,000 people. This number of cavalry was not small. The remaining knights stayed with Li Mu. The former infantry and crossbow group has now become a group consisting of four arms.
Mixed group armies, Li Mu was not unfamiliar with such mixed group armies. When he defeated the Xiongnu, he used such an organization, but now the most important problem is that he cannot catch up.
However, Li Mu was also very smart. There were many old and weak people in the Huns' headquarters, as well as a lot of livestock. These all needed water, and their movements were not as fast as the Huns' cavalry. As long as they could capture these people, the Huns would basically be able to defeat them.
They no longer have the strength to dominate the grasslands, because this is the foundation of the Xiongnu. This is equivalent to directly bypassing the soldiers to destroy the other side's people. No one can bear such a blow.
The Huns obviously also knew Li Mu's plan. In order to prevent Li Mu from achieving their strategic goals, the Huns began to carry out harassment tactics regardless of losses. The armies of the left and right Xian Wang and Shan Yu took turns harassing Li Mu. Li Mu and Sima Shang divided their forces and attacked from two directions.
The purpose of pursuing is to lure the opponent out to fight with oneself, and also to prevent the Huns from delaying the battle.
By this time, the three generals of Qin had all separated, and the weakest one was Zhao Kang, who only had more than 10,000 knights.
Initially, after realizing that the Qin people had divided their forces, King Zuo Xian was very excited. He believed that this was the best opportunity to weaken the enemy. The opponent only had more than 10,000 people, and as long as they had enough cavalry, they could destroy them all.
People, but King You Xian disagreed. He believed that this was a bait from the Qin people to lure him to gather troops. He must not touch these people. The young King Zuo Xian did not believe this evil and repeatedly requested to send troops.
King Youxian asked him to take his troops to destroy this army.
King Zuo Xian took more than 30,000 elite Hun knights and began to search for the Qin cavalry. Little did he know that Zhao Kang was also looking for him... Since Zhao Kang led the army and left the main army, he
He has been training his cavalry, and some of Zhao Kang's orders seemed very strange to the knights. Zhao Kang always asked the cavalry to form a long formation, asking them to advance neatly, not to go out of formation, and to control their horses.
Sometimes, he even asked the knights to charge in an orderly manner. In the past battlefields, cavalry battles did not have any formations, because the cavalry was not used to charge into the formation. The cavalry was used to spy on news, cut off food routes, and pursue pursuits.
Therefore, the cavalry just ran up and killed people. I had never heard of any formation... Only Li Mu had the cavalry line up to attack when he fought against the Huns. This was considered the first time.
However, in the face of many unreasonable demands from Zhao Kang, these soldiers were still able to fulfill them conscientiously. This is the system of the Qin State. You are not allowed to question your generals. In addition, Zhao Kang himself has extraordinary achievements and his father is the Marquis of Wu Cheng.
.Zhao Kang began to lead the knights to practice some things that no one could understand while walking. In this way, after marching continuously for more than half a month, Zhao Kang got his wish and met the cavalry of King Zuo Xian.
The first time he encountered the opponent's cavalry, the bellicose Zhao Kang issued an incredible order to retreat.
Yes, he actually ordered a retreat. The soldiers were immediately confused. They didn't know what was going on with Zhao Kuo. After the scouts from both sides met, they wanted to retreat. However, Zhao Kang looked at the sky and didn't know.
What was he thinking? He smiled and led the knights to escape quickly. King Zuo Xian was also a little confused at the moment. He didn't know if the enemy really wanted to escape, or was he trying to seduce him to pursue?
He wasn't sure, so of course he could only send out scouts to pursue him.
The Qin State fought quite frequently with the Xiongnu scouts. Both sides kept a certain distance, but did not dare to get too close. Zhao Kang had been deliberately keeping the distance away. King Zuo Xian always felt that something was wrong.
He hurriedly asked for help from the rear, and the two armies were driving slowly on the grassland... King Zuo Xian rode a white horse, and the horse moved forward slowly. He frowned, thinking about the enemy's intentions.
My own reinforcements have also arrived. The number of cavalry is close to 50,000. This is already a very large scale. What is the enemy's conspiracy?
I don't know when, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the sky suddenly turned dark. Strong winds were blowing, and the weeds on the ground were constantly blowing. The sharp wind suddenly blew, and the clothes of King Zuo Xian were constantly blowing.
Xiu, King Zuo Xian was riding a white horse, feeling the strong wind. He liked this kind of strong wind very much. This kind of wind was mixed with the smell of grass and trees, and it didn't look cold when it blew on his body.
It is a kind of enjoyment to ride a horse in the wilderness under such strong wind.
At the moment when the wind started blowing, the scouts suddenly came to report that the enemy stopped marching and turned around and came towards him. King Zuo Xian was shocked when he heard this. Could it be that the enemy's ambush was here? King Zuo Xian
Somewhat hesitantly, he saw the Qin army in the distance. They formed a very neat formation and were looking in his direction. King Zuo Xian noticed that most of them did not have bows and arrows or short-range soldiers.
They all carry spears...
King Zuo Xian couldn't help but sneer. There were no bows and arrows, which meant that in the next battle, they could only be beaten passively... At that moment, King Zuo Xian felt that his face was wet. I don't know when, the rain came.
Falling quietly, the rain began to moisten the earth with the strong wind. The rain was very small at first, but in a short period of time, it formed a rain curtain. The cold rain made King Zuo Xian exhale a breath of cold air.
Suddenly, King Zuo Xian was stunned. He raised his head, looked at the rain hitting his face, and instantly understood what was happening. At this time, Zhao Kang's army launched an attack... General Zhao Kuo
The cavalry lined up, and they raised their spears, like a steel forest. At that moment, under the impact of the rain, Zhao Kang's knights separated into a group and launched an attack on the enemy.
Not all the knights, only the first batch of knights launched the attack. The Hun knights raised their bows and arrows. However, the rain affected both the vision and the arrows. The impact of the rain on the arrows was very huge, whether it was accuracy or accuracy.
Regardless of the strength, bending a bow and shooting an arrow in the rain like in the movie, and the arrow cuts through the rain curtain is indeed very handsome, but it is a bit unrealistic, especially the arrows of this era...
The Huns also understood. At that moment, King Zuo Xian hurriedly ordered a retreat.
Zhao Kang's first cavalry hit the Huns hard, and then, like a chariot, without stopping, it neatly cut a hole in the Huns. At this moment, the second column of cavalry also launched a charge.
, followed closely, and continued to charge forward without stopping. After the second batch, there was a third batch. However, this time Zhao Kang did not rush out to fight in person. He commanded the army and relied on the sound of war drums.
Let them attack in turn.
Under the sound of war drums, King Zuo Xian saw a cavalry that he had never seen before. Is this also a cavalry?? He saw that the cavalry in front of him were wearing at least two layers of armor. Even the horses under their crotches,
They were all protected with furs. Where did they get so many original armors? Oh, they were captured from the Xiongnu. And their fighting method is also very strange. They don't fight independently, and there is no chaos at all.
Start attacking in an orderly manner, keeping a distance from each other. How on earth is this done?
Why is this necessary?
Of course, Zhao Kang quickly told him whether this was necessary. When the Qin cavalry formed a long column and began to charge, the Huns could not use their bows and arrows, and the short soldiers could not reach the enemy. The spears directly
Penetrating the enemy in front of him, he continued to move forward without stopping. A torrent of cavalry directly hit the enemy in front of him and knocked him over, crushing him all the way. The Huns' cavalry was scattered because they had no formation. When encountering such an impact, they could only hide.
open.
After they escape, they will face a second impact.
In this way, the Xiongnu soldiers will become very confused, and they will not even be able to fight against their enemies. They just listen to the sound of fighting in their ears. The only way the chaotic army can deal with it is to disperse, but after being dispersed, they will
This resulted in a local situation where more people were fighting against fewer enemies. When Zhao Kang first left Li Mu's army, he was thinking of ways to defeat the enemy. Later, he was exposed to heavy rain for several days, and he realized the huge role of rain.
Rain would make the Huns' proud riding and shooting skills useless, and the guide told him that it was the rainy season and there would be a lot of rain. Facing an army that was good at riding and shooting, Zhao Kang came up with such a charge. When Zhao Kang
Several groups of Kang's knights completed the charge and after piercing the enemy, the first group of knights turned around and started attacking from another direction. This is Zhao Kang's tactic. When cavalry charges into battle, this is how it should be done.
Of course, if faced with infantry, such a charge would definitely be eaten up.
Unless there was a way to increase the strength of the cavalry so that they would not easily fall off their horses, Zhao Kang thought about it while fighting.
King Zuo Xian was evacuating with his army. He had been thinking about Zhao Kang's purpose before, but he didn't notice the weather. Fighting in such rain was definitely not what a wise general could do. Under such circumstances,
At this time, he could only choose to retreat, but he was horrified to find that the Qin knights bit them and refused to let go. King Zuo Xian could not advance or retreat, so he could only order the knights to disperse.
Run away.
He never thought that he would have to flee in such an embarrassing manner when facing more than 10,000 people with more than 50,000 cavalry. When he found that the Huns were fleeing on their own, Zhao Kang smiled and asked the knights to start chasing him.
The battle ended quickly, but the casualties caused were huge. The tactics that had just appeared in this world made King Zuo Xian grind his teeth, and less than half of his knights escaped.
Zhao Kang won a great victory in this battle, and the knights who followed him were of course extremely happy. They clamored to capture Shan Yu, and Zhao Kang led them to continue to search for the enemy. When King Zuo Xian found Shan Yu and You
When King Xian cried and told the news of his defeat, King Youxian almost killed him. King Youxian's beard trembled and he was speechless. It was Touman who kept persuading him to calm him down.
Come down.
"Well, after such a battle, the enemy will definitely not feel comfortable. We don't need to care about this army..." King You Xian could only comfort himself like this, but the upright King Zuo Xian cried again.
Standing up, he lowered his head and said: "They had no casualties. Under the rain, our arrows couldn't be shot..."
"You!!! Without bows and arrows, you have 50,000 knights. Even if you bite them, you can kill thousands of them!!"
King Zuo Xian said seriously: "You don't know, their cavalry formed a formation..." He was about to explain, but King You Xian interrupted him. He didn't believe in formations, and he didn't believe King Zuo Xian either.
He just wanted to cover up his failure. Only Touman couldn't help but frowned when he heard King Zuo Xian's words. He seemed to have thought of something and said: "One of the generals of Qin is called Li Mu, and the other one is called Li Mu.
what is it call?"
"What does this have to do with the war?"
"Of course it does matter, alas..." Touman did not explain. He looked at King Zuo Xian and said, "Get up. King You Xian has already been defeated once before you... That's how war is.
There are times of victory and times of defeat, it doesn't matter." King Zuo Xian stood up and looked at King You Xian in surprise. He was also defeated? Mentioning this matter, King You Xian's face turned red and he didn't want to say more.

This time the Qin State divided the army into three parts. Correspondingly, the Xiongnu also divided their troops. King Youxian also had a bad fate. He was chosen to be Li Mu. As a result, when King Youxian went to harass Li Mu, Li Mu first pretended to be defeated.
, poured out the money and cloth, causing King Youxian to lose control of the Hun knights, and then suddenly organized a cavalry counterattack. The result was obvious. King Youxian did not swallow Li Mu, his teeth were broken by him, and almost the entire army was wiped out.
ah...
On the other hand, Touman was a little better, completing his mission without suffering a major defeat.
These two wars have allowed Touman, who retained his strength, to become the leader again, because now his military strength exceeds that of the two wise kings, but this is not a good thing...
"Alas, we are no match for them. The other side's generals are very powerful, and their system is more advanced than ours... Let's leave, seek shelter from others, and end this war." Touman shook his head sadly.
He raised his head and said to the wise kings on the left and right.
