Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 272 Tell the Xiongnu Chanyu that my name is Luoling

The Xiongnu invaded mainly Yan and Zhao, so the army had to cross a considerable distance if they wanted to start from Chang'an. However, the conscripts in Guanzhong were mainly infantry, and Han Xin sent people to Zhao and Yan to dispatch the most elite soldiers. cavalry.

Before leaving, Liu Bang asked: "The general will go this time, can he be sure of victory?"

Han Xin said clearly to Liu Bang: "Your Majesty, victory is certain, but it is impossible to defeat the Huns in a single battle. The strength of a general is limited by national power.

Fighting against the Xiongnu on the grassland, without cavalry, you can only be beaten. With cavalry, you have tactics and the possibility of a big victory.

The people who lead the bow come and go like the wind, unless they go deep into the hinterland of the Central Plains, they will be invincible on the grassland.

If you have tens of thousands of cavalry, you can match one man with three horses, or even five horses, and you have sufficient logistics to rely on, you will definitely be able to lead your troops directly to the grasslands and wipe out the barbarians.

but……"

Han Xin didn't go any further. Everyone knew that this was impossible. It was already very difficult to support the current battle. It was impossible for Han Xin to go deep into the grassland with extra supplies.

Han Xin led the army all the way from Zhao to the north.

The State of Zhao had a special status in the defense system of the Han Dynasty. Once the Xiongnu invaded, the State of Zhao had the right to mobilize the forces of the State of Dai and the State of Yan to resist the Xiongnu.

The Huns came much faster than expected. After Han Xin crossed the Huguan Pass, he met a group of Huns. The two sides fought fiercely for a while.

Han Xin saw that the Huns had actually entered the Central Plains. Although they were only in Beidi County, they were not grasslands after all. He decisively divided his troops into three groups. In a land like Zhao with mountains and rivers, there are only so many marching routes. Han Xin marked a few Huns The point where the National People's Congress is likely to gather requires the generals in command to arrive on time to participate in the encirclement.

……

"kill!"

Shocking shouts resounded in the land of the three counties of the Northland, the Huns drew their bows and shot, and Han Xin calmly commanded the soldiers to fight.

Then the Huns suddenly ran slower and slower on their horses. When they looked around, they found that the Han army had become an encirclement circle at some point.

The Huns realized that something was wrong. In terms of weapons and equipment, they were far inferior to the Han people. Once they fought close to the Han people, they would definitely not be opponents, so they wanted to distance themselves before attacking.

But how could Han Xin give them this opportunity? The Central Plains just had few cavalry, and they could not reach the level of nomads with three horses or even five horses per person. It was not that there were no cavalry at all.

At the beginning, Xiang Yu used the combination of cavalry and infantry flexibly to hang the Qin army and the princes of the world to fight. Han Xin, as the pinnacle of the war-seeking faction, was not a professional cavalry general, but he had a place for cavalry in many tactics.

"Marquis Wuyang, you will lead [-] cavalry to attack from the left along the gentle slope and cut off their retreat path."

Fan Kui had been under Han Xin's account for many years, and immediately led the cavalry to charge after hearing the words.

Han Xin issued orders one after another, and a series of small-scale troops began to shuttle on the battlefield, which was a manifestation of Han Xin's powerful dispatching ability.

"rush out!"

The Huns really felt that something was wrong. These Han troops seemed to be endless, allowing them to rush left and right, but there were Han troops everywhere, like a shadow.

"sucker Punch."

Han Xin smiled disdainfully to the left and right: "Do these barbarians think they are Xiang Yu? If Xiang Yu were here, 15 people might not be able to trap them, but these barbarians?"

Xia Houying said in admiration: "The general uses his troops like a god, which is beyond the imagination of these Hu people. I am afraid that these 3 people will be killed here."

Han Xin smiled slightly, but the tone of what he said was cold: "Your Majesty is trustworthy, let Xin lead an army of 25 to go out, not for the sake of only 3 people, this battle will make the Huns feel pain, let the Huns Hu people dare not go south and graze horses."

When all the generals heard the words, they bowed in unison and worshiped, "I would like to follow the general to quell the Xiongnu."

Han Xin recalled the content on the Kanyu map, crossed Jinyang, and headed hundreds of miles north. Before entering the grassland, the most suitable place to fight a battle, he murmured slightly: "Only these few terrains are acceptable. Others are not worth the loss. You cannot enter the grassland. .”

……

Luoling walked along the river from the grassland, and saw not a few Huns along the way, but except for some shouting and shouting, most of them just avoided him from a distance. Only some old people, women and children were left, looking at Luo Ling with envy.

Those who were brave enough came up to chat with Luo Ling, and Luo Ling looked at the child in front of him, sure that this must be the descendant of Xia Min.

These people were dressed in rags, or had no clothes at all, relying on pieces of fur to keep warm, and their bodies smelled like they had been with livestock all year round. Many people looked hungry when they saw it.

Nomads have never eaten meat and milk every day as imagined. There are so many livestock for these people to eat. As long as the Central Plains is not exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes are too high, the bottom of farming is definitely better than nomads.

This is fate. Some people are born as citizens of Zhuxia, and some people struggle to be a citizen of Zhuxia. What kind of grace is it that the Luo family has brought civilization to these people?

Luo Ling traveled all the way and saw many things. He realized that he had imagined the Huns to be too powerful.

The fighting power of the Xiongnu Empire is indeed strong, but their ability to withstand risks is not a bit worse than that of the Han Dynasty.

Their power is really unstable, and internal strife is prone to occur, weakening the strength of the entire Hu people.

The most important thing is that farming can store food, but the Xiongnu can't. Even if the Han Dynasty didn't do anything to the Xiongnu, as long as the Great Wall was guarded, two natural disasters could kill the Xiongnu.

This is no coincidence.

Luo's other artifacts may not be very good, but Tianxiang is the ancestor, especially the artifact of the God of Four Seasons. As long as the family's background is smashed, Luo Ling alone can destroy the empire that unified the grassland.

He somewhat understood the meaning of what his ancestor said that day. The relationship between Xia Yi was indeed not a matter of life and death, because the Luo family had the means to influence the outcome.

The only worry now is that there are endless streams of barbarians on the grassland, but the increase in family background is slow.

Although Luo Ling didn't know the specific luck points, as the patriarch of Ji Zhao's generation, he could feel that the family heritage had been continuously decreasing since the destruction of Bang Zhou.

After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, there were several increases, but compared to the large consumption of a pen, the family background is indeed much thinner. Now it is used to kill the Xiongnu, and the grassland will come back in a few decades and 100 years.

It is impossible to let the Luo family use the foundation every time, and the Luo family will rely on the foundation to survive the next 3000, 5000, or even 1 years.

Without the protection of foundation, how can the Luo family face the powerful imperial power? There are no endless streams of geniuses, no means to counter the imperial power, only relying on reputation has a hanging effect, and worry about the future is the reason why Luo family is cautious about using foundation.

"How can we eliminate the threat of the grassland to the Central Plains?"

The carriage drove slowly, Luo Ling sat on the carriage and frowned thinking about this question, but he would not have an answer to this question.

Because this is no longer something that can be solved by wisdom, but requires the improvement of productivity. As long as the productivity does not improve, nomads will continue to go south to compete for the living space of farming peoples.

As the sun rose and the moon set, Luo Ling looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, but finally gave up looking for the answer, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"There is only one way, and that is to keep the Central Plains strong and defeat the enemies on the grassland time after time.

Let the grassland have a heart of admiration for the Central Plains, and then absorb the heroes on the grassland to the Central Plains. Without the leadership of heroes and heroes, the grassland will never rise. "

This was the conclusion Luo Ling finally came to. Looking at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, he murmured: "O King Su, your great existence will be known by the entire Xiongnu."

Luoling walked west along the river, and gradually began to see the Huns' cavalry, without exception, but those who dared to fight all died in the hands of Luoling.

Mao Dun led an army of hundreds of thousands of Huns to confront Han Xin. Looking at the Huns moving at high speed, a haze flashed in Han Xin's eyes.

This is the biggest advantage of the Huns, especially in this kind of open terrain. This is Han Xin's least favorite battlefield. There are too few tactics that infantry can play against cavalry in the wilderness.

In the war against the Modun Huns, Han Xin picked up the chariots that had gradually decreased since the Warring States Period. After refitting, they were able to completely block the impact of cavalry and were very suitable for crossbowmen to attack.

Now it has played a huge role. The chariots formed formations and advanced slowly. As long as the Huns approached, they would attack with sharp crossbows. They wanted to attack but could not break through the chariot's defense line. cavalry.

It was miserable, and they could only take advantage of their speed and shoot arrows continuously. Both the Han army and the Xiongnu army were constantly falling, but it was obvious that the Huns fell more, because the weapons and equipment of both sides were not the same. level.

Modu ordered the Huns to retreat continuously. He is an outstanding monarch and commander, not a gambler. If he does not get benefits, he would rather retreat directly, so he will not fight Han Xin to the death.

This stalemate was not completely broken until Han Xin's other two armies detoured according to Han Xin's order and outflanked Maodun's rear.

When Mao Dun saw the two armies descended from the sky, he was inexplicably horrified. He didn't understand why the Han army had detoured in the place he chose for the battle. He forcibly stabilized his mind and led the army to break through.

When Han Xin saw the two armies appearing on time, he laughed loudly and said, "The Xiongnu Shanyu wants to escape, kill him!"

The three armies of the Han army moved together to strangle the Xiongnu army. After several hours of bloody fighting, most of the Huns fled with Modu. The Han army lacked cavalry and did not pursue them.

The Han army beheaded 2 Xiongnu and captured [-] prisoners. Adding the previous [-] people, the northern Hu people's southward journey can be regarded as traumatic.

Mao Dun, who had never encountered such a major failure, was very angry. The only thing he was lucky about was that his headquarters did not lose too much strength this time, and he could continue to integrate the tribes whose strength was damaged. He decided to completely integrate the entire grassland Get up, it's not just the loose alliance now.

When he crossed the Great Wall and returned to the Hetao area, Luoling sent a Hun to bring a letter to Modu, which began: "King Su went to the world to ask for the Xiongnu Shanyu's letter."

In the letter, Luo Ling reprimanded Maodun in various ways, asking Maodun to kneel down to Yinshan Mountain to pray for forgiveness, otherwise God's punishment would be sent down.

Of course Luo Ling knew that Mao Dun would not come, but that was the purpose.

----

The Xiongnu's invasion was like wind and fire. The public heard about it and said: "King Su does not hesitate, I will go north."

Then he entered the grassland, went up the stream, and passed the 81 tribes of the Huns. He was not stained with dust, eaten the breath of heaven and earth, and served the sun, moon, and frost.

The public inspected his people like Zhu Xia, and he said: "Three out of ten, the descendants of Xia, learn Hu language, wear Hu clothes, change Hu customs, and die, and they will fall forever, and they will not see their ancestors and gods. It is sad."—— "Historical Records Luo Zhaogong Family"
