Chapter 405 The End of the War

Accompanied by the rapid sound of horseshoes and the deafening shouts of killing, Huo Qubing and Luo Wuji were riding BMWs, almost leading the way, with personal guards and warriors guarding both sides, like arrows flying off the string .

The dead soul of King Youguli was all gone, and he was horrified: "Where did this group of Han troops come from? Meet the enemy!"

But it's useless at all. In this era where communication is basically based on shouting, it is too common for people to be chaotic, especially the Xiongnu's discipline is relatively poor. Facing Luo Wuji and Huo Qubing suddenly rushing out from the flank, the Xiongnu The army greeted the enemy instinctively, and then quickly covered their faces and lowered their heads when they were shot by a wave of arrows.

Once there are more than [-] people, the sky is connected, not to mention that the march of the Huns is long and narrow, and it stretches for an extremely long length, and the grassland is different from the plain.

The plain is flat, and it can be seen clearly from tens to hundreds of meters or even further away.

The grassland is not flat, but continuously undulating. This undulating slope may be very gentle, but after tens of meters or hundreds of meters, there is still a drop of several meters, far exceeding the height of a person or a horse.

This caused a very terrible thing. The soldiers on the march could not actually see people in the distance. They didn't know what happened, and could only hear the sound of fierce shouting and fighting.

Luo Wuji and Huo Qubing rushed out from both sides. Although the number of soldiers was only one-third of that of the Huns, they were crushing in terms of the absolute number of frontal battles.

There is no war in this world where the weak defeat the strong. Victory is to force the weak. Just like the most famous battle of Feishui, the hundreds of thousands of troops in the former Qin Dynasty are super strong on the surface, but at the same time, they bless internal instability and Fu Jian commanded two negative buffs, and the final result was that the Eastern Jin Dynasty, where everyone was united in defending the land, was stronger.

The temple calculations of the two sides are to put themselves in a strong position in the war. For example, the current Luo Wuji and Huo Qubing have all the advantages, and the Huns' army cannot stop them at all. The Xiongnu nobles have a characteristic, that is, once they find If he can't fight, he will slip away decisively. In a short period of time, King Youguli concluded that this wave of Han troops could not be stopped at all, and he guessed that this wave of Han troops must be the one who defeated King Aries before. that wave.

Barely making any resistance, King Youguli left here with his Royal Court and Golden Guards. In order to let other people cover, he didn't even notify to retreat. This is obviously letting others die, and it can be delayed for a while. .

King Youguli was naturally heartbroken that so many herdsmen and slaves died here, all of which were his private property, but if he didn't run away, he would die here himself.

After Luo Wuji saw it, he exchanged a glance with Huo Qubing and said, "Youguli King is running too fast, he can't catch up, defeat this Xiongnu army!"

Huo Qubing also understood that the Xiongnu king ran too decisively, with so many people in front of him, he couldn't catch up at all, but once King Youguli ran away, the Huns were completely leaderless, and then Huo Qubing and Luo Wuji asked the Huns in the army to shout Shouted: "You Gu Li King has run away, You Gu Li King has run away!"

The Huns who were fighting fiercely with the Han army looked at the location of King Youguli, but they really disappeared, leaving only billowing smoke and dust, and the heart of resistance disappeared in an instant.

In a tribal country like the Huns, except for the herders who are close to the royal family, most of the Huns are like half-slaves. You expect such people to love the Huns and are willing to take the initiative to serve the Huns. Think too much, not to mention the Xiongnu, even in the Ming Dynasty, where the debate between Hua and Yi has been going on for thousands of years, the resistance of the people at the bottom was not fierce until the order to shave their hair.

If the Qing army did not enter the customs, they would be oppressed by those landlords, old money and literati. They would not be able to survive after paying so much miscellaneous taxes. If the Qing army entered the customs, although they still could not survive, at least those stupid landlords, old money and many literati The gentry also died under the knife of the Qing army, which is enough to make the people gratified.

The Huns lost their fighting spirit, but the Han army had a lot of fighting spirit. Huo Qubing immediately said: "Brother Wuji, this is the elite of the Huns, a great opportunity!"

Luo Wuji immediately understood what Huo Qubing meant. These Huns had a significantly higher armor rate than King Baiyang's army, and they were equipped with more horses. They were the herdsmen temporarily recruited by King Youguli to support the army. The proportion is relatively low, and such elites are now in such a state of chaos, they are simply cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

Luo Wuji immediately raised his horse high and shouted: "Kill!"

The two of them didn't need to communicate at all to know that there would be no prisoners in this battle. After all, they would have to travel hundreds of miles later, and it was impossible to carry a time bomb like the Xiongnu prisoners.

In ancient wars, the army with a complete formation disrupted the army, which can only be described by the word "random killing". The chaos army only cared about escaping and had no intention of resisting at all. Layers of scratching.

The battle ended quickly, and half of the Huns fled in the direction they had come. Those who tried to escape to the east were all chased and killed. There were so many corpses on the ground that basically everyone got an ear and still had some leftovers.

In this kind of downwind battle, the casualties of the Han army were not high, and everyone was beaming.

The most precious thing is that a large number of horses were left behind at the scene. After this fierce battle, many horses ridden by the Han army were injured, and their hooves had begun to swell. Let them fend for themselves here.

Huo Qubing rode his horse and asked loudly: "Brother Wuji, the harvest has been roughly counted, do you need to rest?"

Luo Wuji replied loudly: "No need, it's too dangerous to stay here, and the important thing is, don't keep the general waiting, march immediately."

With the departure of the Han army, only the corpses left on the ground prove that this place has just experienced a tragic battle, which was very tragic for the Huns.

After this battle, the Han army has become five horses per man, and the marching speed that was slightly delayed because of pity on horsepower was immediately increased.

March, rest, eat, restore strength, march again, rest again, eat again, restore strength.

The life of running around on the grassland is so simple and unpretentious. Long-term raids have high requirements for the general. After all, the raid is not only about reaching the location, but also ensuring combat effectiveness. This is a test of the general's understanding of the physical condition of the soldiers. , to rest at the right time.

After marching for hundreds of miles in a row, the two of them stopped at the same time, listening to the faint noises coming from a distance.

"It's time for the soldiers to rest and wait for the morning."

"Let's prepare for the battle. After crossing this hill and going south, you will find the Loufan King's Department."

……

King Loufan was drinking heavily in his camp. The fierce battle with the Han army these days made him feel relieved, and he boasted loudly to everyone: "The Han army is nothing more than that. The tens of thousands of troops are blocked by this king and cannot advance. King Aries It is really a waste to be defeated by thousands of Han troops."

After finishing speaking, he burst out laughing, if Aries King knew that Lou Fan Wang arranged himself in such a way, he would be so angry that he would come alive and fight Lou Fan Wang to his death.

After the banquet, the entire Loufanwang tribe fell into silence, only the night watch scouts were guarding against Wei Qingjun's surprise attack, and piles of bonfires were burning blazingly, providing vision for this group of night blindness patients.

But at the same time, these bonfires also completely exposed the whereabouts of the Huns. Taking advantage of the faint moonlight, Luo Wuji and Huo Qubing changed the previous surprise attack and slowly brought the army far away from the Huns camp. It's unrealistic to come close to a night raid.

When Gan Ning's hundred riders stepped into the enemy camp and made great achievements in the world, there were only a hundred people, so Luo Wuji and Huo Qubing brought a small number of people to the camp to search for targets.

Luo Wuji said in a low voice: "Qubing, I can see at night like day, have you seen the clusters of bonfires? There is the golden tent of King Loufan, but I don't know if King Loufan will be the same as King Aries, But there should not be many wonderful things like the King of Aries.

The terrain we are standing on now happens to be relatively high. At that time, soldiers can charge from the left side. The right side is a little steeper, and there seem to be some gravel washed by the river, which will hurt the horses. I do not recommend charging from the left side. go over there. "

Huo Qubing heard the words and murmured: "At that time, we will rush down from the left side, and then put down the poorer horses from the other direction, and attack the Huns' camp together, and we can also confuse them."

After some discussion, the two decided on an attack strategy, and then quietly waited for the most exhausted time, and the Han army had already rested before, which happened to be the most energetic time.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was the darkest time before dawn. With the sound of swords being unsheathed, Luo Wuji and Huo Qubing stepped on their horses one after another and said, "After this battle, go back to Chang'an to celebrate!"

The horse began to trot slowly along the gentle slope, and then the speed became faster and faster. Even the horseshoes could not cover up the noise, especially as the horse ran closer and closer, the Huns reacted. It was the Han army who came to rob the camp.

But at this time, the Huns made a fatal mistake, that is, they thought that it was the Wei Qingbu who robbed the camp, so those Hun soldiers who were always ready to deal with the robbing of the camp, all went to the direction of Wei Qingbu under the leadership of the chief officer.

Wei Qing was also waiting for this opportunity, and said loudly to the generals of the Han army who had been waiting for a long time: "Order the battalions, the whole army presses down, and attack King Loufan tonight, the outcome depends on it."

The Han army, which had never attacked with all its strength before, ignited all the torches under Wei Qing's command. It was as bright as day, and the cavalry rushed forward. This is the first time Wei Qing used cavalry in this way. It was always at a critical moment before. Only the cavalry will be allowed to appear.

This was actually to cover Luo Wuji and Huo Qubing. The Huns were really fooled. In the dark, people are extremely insensitive to directions and extremely sensitive to sounds, until they realized that there are not only horseshoes on the front The sound, when there was also the sound of horseshoes behind, it was completely too late.

What Luo Wuji and Huo Qubing were facing was a big camp of the Huns that was completely undefended against them, and the camp of the Huns didn't even have a camp that refused horses. After all, there weren't so many trees on the grassland for them to make these attacks The utensils of the city and defense stand out for their unpretentiousness.

A total of six or seven thousand cavalry rushed into the camp of the Huns without any resistance. No one cared about the endless tents. Luo Wuji and Huo Qubing only had King Loufan's tent in their eyes.

The two brought hundreds of the most elite soldiers and directly collided with King Loufan's golden guards. They were turned on their backs almost instantly. Luo Wuji held the horse in his hand and smashed down hard, smashing the armor of the Xiongnu soldiers directly. Luo Wuji was so shaken that his hands ached a bit. After all, he wasn't Xiang Yu's kind of fierce man whose force ceiling could directly smash his armor.

"No disease, continue."

Huo Qubing yelled, and then directly threw a heavy object, Luo Wuji reached out to catch it, it turned out to be a blunt object sledgehammer, Huo Qubing laughed and said: "You have to use a sledgehammer to beat these armor-piercing soldiers."

As he said that, he swung his hand with one hand and easily killed a Hun soldier. These two sledgehammers were captured by the Huns before. After all, it is very heavy to travel far with a sword, a horse, a bow, and arrows. , generally no one will bring a sledgehammer.

"Thanks!"

Luo Wuji held the horse lance in his right hand, and directly swung the sledgehammer in his left hand. Both of them had strength values ​​above [-], which was naturally incomparable to a fierce man like Xiang Yu, but it was a blow to beat these miscellaneous soldiers. a child.

Under the beating of two super fierce men, Luo Wuji and Huo Qubing, together with the guards of dare warriors and big men, the two directly rushed into the king's tent, and then saw a gray-faced Xiongnu with feathers on his head noble.

"Are you the King of Lou Fan?"

Huo Qubing raised his whip and asked sharply.

"I'm."

At this time, lying was useless, although King Lou Fan was unwilling, he still readily admitted it.

Luo Wuji and Huo Qubing laughed loudly when they heard the words, "The one who caught him is you, take him away, and go meet up with uncle!"

Outside the king's tent, the fighting was in full swing, and the ground was covered with blood, but the overall situation was settled!

----

The Battle of Monan-Moxi can be concluded from historical records that this was originally a pure battle in Henan, but the unexpected victory of the Han Dynasty caused the Han Dynasty to quickly change its strategic goal and launched a war of war. A huge battle involving Monan and Moxi.

The victory of this war completely removed the threat of the Xiongnu to the border of the Han Dynasty, and the Hetao Plain in Henan returned to the hands of the Han Dynasty. This was a heavy blow to the economy of the Xiongnu Empire, and the Han Dynasty obtained the most critical war resources. The addition of a large number of horses greatly enhanced the war potential of the Han Dynasty. After this battle, the situation between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu changed from a strategic stalemate to a strategic offensive, and the initiative of the war fell into the hands of the Han Dynasty.

Huo Qubing and Luo Wuji, the two talented cavalry commanders, stood out in this battle, which opened the history of the Han Dynasty's magnificent foreign offensive and development. ——"History of the Rise and Fall of the Han Dynasty"
