Before the Hanoi army arrived, Shen Bing introduced the advantages and disadvantages of the Qin army and the Huns to Yang Duanhe in detail.
Of course, this includes the use of new crossbows and "Pi Li Fireball".
These things are second, and the most important thing is actually the three-bow bed crossbow...
To be precise, the most important thing for the Hanoi soldiers who are responsible for the task of protecting food and grass is the three-bow bed crossbow.
Like other Qin troops, most of the 100,000 troops placed by Yang Duanhe were infantry, and the cavalry and chariots were only 10,000.
Moreover, these cavalry were "first generation cavalry" who used arms and crossbows. In addition, they did not have vine armor to protect themselves, so they almost wanted to die when fighting the Huns head-on on the grassland.
But of course, their mission was not to fight against the Huns but to protect food and grass.
Then the Hanoi soldiers could bring a three-bow crossbow and use it to launch the "Pi Li Fireball" to capture the Huns.
The more Yang Duanhe listened, the more frightened he became, and the more ashamed he became...
He had never expected that there would be so many tricks and dangers in the battle with the Huns, and he wanted to attack Wuyuan with a 100,000 army as the main force.
If this is true, I am afraid that all the 100,000 troops will be wiped out.
More than twenty days later, as soon as the Hanoi soldiers arrived in Jiuyuan, the Shen soldiers immediately assigned the trained three-bow bed crossbow and crossbowmen according to the organization of the Northern Army.
Then he prepared some food and grass and sent the spy to Wuyuan for reconnaissance.
The news came from Maodun soon.
This was not because of the spy sent by Shen Bing, but because Yang Duan and the 100,000 troops arrived in Jiuyuan, the news was too loud.
When Maodun heard that another 100,000 Qin troops had arrived at Jiuyuan, he frowned as soon as he looked at the map.
After Maodun became the Shanyu, Zuo Xianwang naturally took over by his son Zishuo Jizhu... Jizhu was the old Shang Shanyu who later followed Maodun Shanyu.
The old Shang Shanyu can be said to have fulfilled Maodun Shanyu's unfinished Hongyuan: attacking Yuezhi and killing Yuezhi king to pacify the Western Regions.
Ji Zhu was only over ten years old at this time. He said without thinking:
"Shanyu, give me five thousand men and I will take the head of the sinking soldier!"
Mao Dun glared at him and said:
"If you think you can defeat a tiger now, then you will become its food before you grow to defeat a tiger!"
Jizhu asked:
"Is Shen Bing a tiger?"
Maodun nodded:
"It is a much more ferocious tiger than the Donghu King."
"Do you still want to bring five thousand men to get his head?"
Ji Zhu shook his head and replied:
"When I grow up, I will defeat him one day!"
Maodun nodded.
The Right Xian King Xunhao [yǔn] was originally a general of Maodun. After Maodun became the Shanyu, he was promoted to the Right Xian King to command the Huns' army.
Xunhua asked Maodun:
"The Donghu is so powerful and progresses step by step, the Shanyu did not frown."
"Why did the Qin army only reinforce 100,000 troops to Jiuyuan, and Shanyu was so worried?"
"Did the Shanyu worry that the Qin army would go to the grassland to kill our warriors and snatch our cattle and sheep?"
Maodun shook his head.
Xunhua asked again:
"Did the Shanyu worry that the Qin army would take away our territory?"
Maodun shook his head again.
Shuangqi Dao:
"What Shanyu is worried about..."
Maodun pointed to the sheepskin map and said:
"Wuyuan, I'm worried that they will take Wuyuan."
This is the normal reaction. The Qin army captured Jiuyuan, of course, and continued to occupy the upper reaches of the Yellow River with the results of Jiuyuan's expansion. Like Ying Zheng, he directly ordered the north attack on the Huns to uproot the roots... This is just a fool.
Xunqi is a typical Hun warrior. Of course, he didn't know the value of Wuyuan, so he just looked at the circle on the map and was stunned.
It's still Jizhu to see some of the names:
"If the Qin army seized Wuyuan, our warriors in Hexi would have no way out!"
Maodun nodded with relief. He had been teaching Jizhu with the military tactics of the Central Plains, and it seemed that he had achieved some results at this time.
"So!" Maodun concluded: "We either withdraw from Hexi or defend the Wuyuan."
Jizhu answered:
"Land is the foundation of the country, how can we easily withdraw it?"
Xunhe said hesitantly:
"That's...Shuo Wuyuan?"
"But that is a city in the Central Plains, we don't know how to defend it!"
After pausing, Xunhua said:
"We can use cavalry to knock them back!"
Maodun shook his head and said:
"Do you still remember the Battle of Kyusan?"
"The Qin people will still attack Wuyuan like that battle."
Mao Dun dared not speak anymore as soon as he said this.
The sound of "Shocking Thunder" still makes Xunhao frightened. He even left a scar on his left leg, which was cut by the spikes flying out of the "Shocking Thunder"... The Huns didn't know."
What is the Thunderbolt Fireball? It is called "Sky Thunder".
After hesitating for a while, Xunhua asked:
"So, how should we keep the Wuyuan?"
Maodun turned his eyes to the grassland outside the tent and said thoughtfully:
"I heard...the Qin people were learning to ride horses and shoot archery like us, and they tried to surpass us in riding and shooting."
"Maybe, we should also learn to defend the city like the Qin people."
"This is the only way to defeat them!"
I have to say that Maodun’s idea is indeed extraordinary.
First of all, although the back set is also a flat plain suitable for cavalry battles, the problem is that the mountains surrounding it are surrounded by the south and are blocked by the Yellow River. It is not as open and empty as the Mongolian Plateau in the north, which can be carried out long-distance maneuver combat.
In this terrain situation, fighting against the Qin army, and the Qin army has "thunder" in their hands, so it is even more difficult to defend the Wuyuan.
Secondly, there is a ready-made city in five original cities.
If you give up like giving up Jiuyuan and don’t even defend, that would be a waste?
Again, it is "the ruler has strengths, and the inch has weaknesses." The Qin army and the Xiongnu cavalry each have their own strengths.
At this time, the Qin army was learning the strengths of the Xiongnu to make up for their own shortcomings. Why couldn't the Xiongnu learn from the strengths of the Qin army?
Of course, Maodun would not naively think that they who had never defended the city could defend Wuyuan as soon as they returned to defend the city.
Maodun formulated a plan for this, that is, to combine the defenses in Wuyuan City with the mobile combat of the cavalry outside the city, and to continue to attack and harass the supply line of the Qin army.
So Maodun immediately ordered 10,000 Xiongnu cavalry to enter Wuyuan and repair the city gate and wall, and to reserve certain food and arrows in the city.
Another 20,000 cavalrymen were in the clouds, and the Jiuyuan area was harassing and looking for fighter planes.
Maodun himself led 30,000 cavalry outside Wuyuan City to cooperate with Wuyuan.
Everything has its own two sides, and even war is no exception.
It does have many negative effects, such as life, property, destruction... but at the same time it also has a positive effect. It can even be said that war promotes the development and change of society, and it can also be said that it is the "survival of the fittest" rule of human society.
