In the middle of summer in May, the Peacock River valley at the southern foot of Kuruktag Mountain is a paradise for animals, where all kinds of deer, sheep and waterfowl gather to drink.But today, as if sensing the danger, the yellow sheep fled with their slender legs, and the green-headed and yellow-backed mallards chirped and flew everywhere.They were alarmed by a Han army, with crimson scarves, dark iron armor, and fluttering Tude yellow flags, slowly marching west along the north bank of the river, and in front of them were dozens of horsemen who pretended to flee in panic.At this time, more than 100 Hun scouts also appeared on the northern horizon, led by Daigo Ada, who was removed from the position of servant commander by the Right Xian King, and started again from a small hundred cavalry commanders."
It's going to be a shameful battle for me."
After discovering the Han army from afar, Daigo Ada touched the knife marks on his face that represented shame, raised his horn, and blew it with his cheeks."
AhhThe horn let out a low, loud whimper, and behind it, a second horn followed, as long and high-pitched as the first.Immediately, ten, hundred, until among the Huns, all the hundred chiefs wearing horns began to play, in response to Daigo Ada.Like wolves howling at the moon, mixed with many huzzles, and the growing mountain and tsunami This is the right king of the right for a long time hidden tens of thousands of right horsemen, their horses almost gnawed the grass in the south of the foothills, wearing felt hats, holding a curved bow Huns on horses galloping, like thunder at the end of the earth.On the bank of the river to the west of the Han army, there were also more than 2,000 horsemen, which were the troops of King Yiwu, who were ordered by King Youxian to participate in this meeting that the Huns had planned for a long time, and the king of Puyin was responsible for watching the ditch plough and the iron gate.Twelve thousand horsemen, under the command of King Youxian, outflanked the Han army ten miles away."
The Han army is more than expected, not just two thousand, at least three thousand."
After the scout returned, the surrounding thousand cavalry commanders began to talk about it, and the Right Virtuous King frowned, but quickly relaxed."
It doesn't matter, more than 20 years ago, Zhao Ponu was the general of Han Junji, and he led 20,000 cavalry to attack King Zuoxian, King Zuoxian fought with 80,000 cavalry, surrounded 20,000 Han troops, didn't he win the same way?
Today, 12,000 people fight 3,000, and it is also four against one!
What's more, the Han army has been on the road for a month, and it is bound to be tired. ”The right sage king is already the best among the Huns, and the thousands of cavalry commanders nodded one after another, but Wu Zongnian only felt weird."
That's right, those who don't know think that the Huns are the side with fewer soldiers."
But even so, he was still worried about the Han army, this was not a Fengsui defense, but an encounter in the field, the Han army was tired from afar, could it withstand the siege of the Huns?
Will it really repeat the mistakes of Zhao Ponu.However, the general of the Han army, Fu Jiezi, the Marquis of Yiyang, did not panic at all, and began to gather the soldiers who were marching in the queue, and finally formed a semicircular formation on a dry platform on the north bank of the Peacock River.Behind them, there is a murmuring water.Wu Zongnian was stunned for a moment, and said secretly: "Back to the water!"
Does Fu Gong want to emulate the most famous battle of the Marquis of Huaiyin and put him to death?
”In the past, the backwater formation was considered a taboo with soldiers, but since Han Xin fought the battle of Jingcheng, it has been completely reversed, and many Han generals like to follow suit, but there are fewer winners and more losers.But today's battle against the water is obviously appropriate, the art of war is cloudy, and the invincible will defend it; The victor is also attacked.If it is insufficient, it will be defended, and if it is surplus, it will be attacked.The Han soldiers were few and the Huns were numerous, the Han was dominated by foot soldiers, and the Huns were all armored cavalry, and the Han army must be on the defensive first.What the Huns are best at is to use the mobility and flexibility of the cavalry to make roundabout projectiles and maneuver assaults, which require a large combat space.Rather than being besieged from all sides, it is better to hand over the back to the river, so that you only need to defend the front, and you can also inspire the courage of the soldiers to fight to the death.And then, the things that were pushed out of the Han army array made Wu Zongnian almost applaud.It was a two-wheeled wooden cart two feet long and one foot four wide, covered with cowhide, with sharp spears tied to the outside and a strong shield on the inside.In the drumbeat of the Han army, more than two hundred vehicles were pushed out one after another, one by one, and the rings were interlocked, and in just a moment, on the periphery of the Han army's array, a circle of strong fortresses was created!"
It's Wugang car!"
The thousand cavalry commanders of the Huns could no longer be calm, their faces were uneasy, and the eyes of the Right Xian King also widened, he was originally in the hands of victory, but he would be a little angry."
It can't be!
How did the Han army push hundreds of bulky Wugang carts up the three ridges of sand and push them across the Bailongdui?
”After a while, the Han army, which seemed to be surrounded and raided by Hu Qi, turned into an iron turtle.The semicircular array was placed on the Wugang car formation, which was tall and heavy like a barrier, so that the Huns had no possibility of impact.Behind Wu Gang's chariot formation, there were heavy armor soldiers with swords and shields, long soldiers with spears and halberds stood behind him, and in the gap were the material officers who had already wound their crossbows.In the center of the Han army array, a slow and heavy drum sounded, as if beating on the heart, inspired by the drum, three thousand Han soldiers stood tightly together, united as one, ready to withstand the roaring Hu cavalry sandstorm, but the Huns stopped two miles in front of the formation, the horses stepped on their hooves restlessly, and the Hu people looked at each other, waiting for the next order of the right Xian King."
King Youxian, the Han army has formed a Wugang car formation, and it can't be attacked!"
Several thousand cavalry commanders who had previously clamored for the annihilation of the Han army here were now urging the Right Sage King to change his plan.Without him, just because the psychological shadow brought by Wugangche to the Huns is too great.The most humiliating battle of Mobei since the founding of the Xiongnu was the first time they suffered the loss of Wugangche.At that time, Wei Qing led 50,000 people to travel thousands of miles across the desert and encountered Yi Zhixi's 100,000 army, Yi Zhixian also thought that the Han army was tired and he would win.As a result, Wei Qing surrounded the Wugang chariot as a camp, stabilized his position, and let the Huns besiege for a long time without any results, and their morale dropped greatly.Then Wei Qing sent 5,000 armored cavalry to battle, breaking the Huns' number of formations.At dusk, the wind rose suddenly, the sand and gravel hit the face, Wei Qing actually pressed the whole army, 50,000 people made a posture of encircling 100,000 people, and the Xiongnu were defeated.If that battle was because of "few Huns", then Li Ling used the same tactics to tell the Hu people that in the face of Wugang's car formation, more than ten times the number of troops could not be bargained.It was still in Junji Mountain, the grandfather of King Youxian at that time, the reigning Marquis Shan Yuxian besieged Li Ling with 30,000 cavalry and 5,000 people.Li Ling's subordinates were almost all Jing Chu foot soldiers, and they did not panic, they formed a military formation, thousands of crossbows were fired, and the Huns fell in response, and 30,000 people were forced to retreat by 5,000 people.And the Marquis of Yu was in a hurry, mobilized all the herdsmen in the surrounding hundreds of miles, pursued and besieged again with 80,000 cavalry, and relied on the Wugang chariot formation to defend and counterattack and kill and wound thousands of people.If it weren't for the military commander who dared to surrender to the Xiongnu, he told Shan Yu that Li Ling had no backup and that 500,000 crossbows had been exhausted, and he might have escaped by Li Ling.After these two battles, the Huns lost the courage to attack when they saw Wugangche again.In the face of this kind of tactics tailored for the Huns, they were at a loss.Even if they galloped closer, the horses did not dare to move forward in the face of the spear formation of Wu Gang Che and the Han army.The arrows thrown into it will at most kill and injure some unarmed men and archers, and if they attack strongly, the opponent will kill ten people, but they may lose hundreds of people.This is hard stubble, everyone looks at the Right Sage King, waiting for his order.King Youxian didn't expect that the Han army would be able to cross the danger and push Wugang's chariot to the Western Regions, so he only let the rangers go to test it first.As a result, the thousands of horsemen sent to the test were only more than 300 steps away, and before they had time to set up arrows, more than ten crossbows were shot out of the Han army's array.The terrifying crossbow bolt with the thick arm of the child directly shot a horse to death, and there was an unlucky guy who was directly hit by an arrow in the chest, and the whole person flew out, and the diamond-shaped crossbow bolt came out through the chest, and he died on the spot.The Huns were shocked and hurriedly retreated, while the face of the Right Xian King was even more ugly."
Big Yellow Crossbow!"
It was the longest-range crossbow of the Han army, with a strength of ten to twelve stones, and it took two people to open it.In the past, Li Guang led 4,000 horses out of the right Beiping, surrounded by 40,000 Hun horsemen, Li Guang personally held a rhubarb crossbow to shoot the Hun generals, killing several people.This kind of crossbow is very cumbersome, and it is generally arranged in Fengsui and Chengtou, but this time, the Han army brought out more than a dozen in one go, and with the Wugang car formation, it is difficult not to despair.The Huns completely lost their will to fight, this is a field battle?
What is the difference between a siege and a siege?
It took a while for King Youxian to give an order that relieved everyone."
The dry food carried by the Han army is definitely not much, and it is far away!"
And before Wu Zongnian was secretly happy, the knife of the Right Xian King was on his neck."
Mr.
Wu, you are Han, let's talk about it, what are the flaws in this Wugang car formation?"
It was late May, the weather was very hot, and the war horses of the Huns were impatiently wagging their tails and flapping their bodies to drive away mosquitoes and flies, and bowing their heads to chew some wilting grass and trees.Their masters, however, could only endure the heat wave in thick leather armor, and when they touched the straight iron knife, they were already scorched hot.This is a battlefield personally selected by King Youxian, and it is flat all around, and there is not even a tree.They had surrounded the Han army for half an hour, and a tentative attack had just ended, but with the Han army's thousands of crossbows fired in unison, the rangers left dozens of corpses and retreated, and the arrows they shot only pierced the big shield erected by Wu Gangche and Wu Zongnian, at this moment, was talking about his opinion to the right virtuous king."
When Emperor Xiao was the emperor, there was a doctor who was wrong and analyzed the strengths of Han and Hungary."
He said.Up and down the mountain, in and out of the stream, China's muffle and also; The dangerous road is overwhelming, and galloping and shooting, China's riding and also; Tired of wind and rain, hungry and thirsty, Chinese people are also happy.This Huns' long skills are also. ”"And if you talk about the Han army commander, there are four."
Wu Zongnian crossed his fingers and told King Youxian: "Doctor Chao said again that if the crossbow and halberd shoot far away, the bow of the Huns will also be able to do so; Sharp blades, mixed in length and short, crossbows come and go, and the soldiers of the Huns can be in front of them; If the material official is hairy, and the arrow is the same, then the Huns' leather and wood are recommended to be supported by Fu Neng; Dismount and fight, the sword and halberd are connected, and they are thin, so the foot of the Huns can be given, and this China's long skill is also. ”"Did the king hear me?
If you insist on engaging the Wugang chariot formation, this is your own short attack and the other strong.In the past, the Marquis of Yu besieged the Han army of four or five thousand people with twenty times the number of people, and he couldn't get any bargains.What's more, today, the right army is only four times the size of the Han army?
”King Youxian's face was gloomy: "Mr.
Wu, I asked you about the flaws in Wugangche, not to ask you to analyze the shortcomings of our army, do you want to help the Han people and persuade me to withdraw from the army?"
”"If I blindly encourage the king to attack, it will harm you."
Wu Zongnian spread his hands, his face full of helplessness: "Don't embarrass me, King Youxian, I was just an official who danced ink in the Han Dynasty, and I didn't even read the art of war, let alone know the battle formation." ”"You must know that this Wugang car formation, but when Emperor Xiaowu was in power, Changping Lie Hou Weiqing came up with it according to the ancient art of war, and he specially dealt with Hu Qi.Who is the Marquis of Changping?
That's a million, no, one in a million people!
And I'm just a mediocre official, who can think of a solution. ”Wu Zongnian said with a smile: "Instead of forcing me, King Youxian might as well send someone to ask King Jiankun, he also used this strategy back then, how can he not know its flaws?"
”King Jiankun is Li Ling's title in the Xiongnu, the Jiankun Department is five thousand miles north of the Liwang Court in the right valley, and the Yenisei River valley in West Siberia in later generations, it takes half a year to run back and forth, and the battle is in front of him, how can the right Xian King wait for Li Ling's reply?
In fact, King Youxian also knew that Li Xu and others, who had surrendered to the Huns in the past, had also proposed a way to crack the Wugang car formation, that is, fire attack!
The Wugang car is made of wooden skin, and it will be scrapped when it is burned.But it is not applicable here, not to mention that the Han army holds a rhubarb crossbow, it is difficult for the Huns to attack and shoot arrows closely, let alone calmly set fires, and the Han army is behind the river, and it is very easy to extinguish small fires, so the current method is only to besiege, the Han army should not bring much food, and they may be able to break the formation if their strength is exhausted, but how long will they be trapped, three days, ten days?
Just when the Right Virtuous King was at a loss, a messenger came from the Imperial Court of the Right Virtuous and brought him a surprise that was even more unexpected than the martial arts car and the big yellow crossbow."
King Wen of the north of Hexi came to report that there is a Han army brigade gathering in the direction of Jiuquan County of Han, and there are thousands of horsemen, gathered on the bank of the underworld between Dunhuang and Jiuquan, and there is a great tendency to attack the right place!""
