Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 154 Who Do You Think You Are Facing? !
The first to see a large group of people and horses from the Xiongnu was in the Yanmen area in Yunzhong.

Guan Ying stood on the city wall, his eyes fixed on the enemy outside the city wall, and there was no fear on his face.

"Light the beacon."

"They are looking for a favorable position to let Chai Wu and Lu Chen put away their flags and pretend to be understaffed. It is best to attract the enemy to attack them."

"Get Guo Meng ready"

Guan Ying did not wear armor, only a helmet, a large shield, and a strong bow, and issued several orders.

Here in the Tang Kingdom, it was Guan Ying who led the Tang Kingdom's soldiers to guard it.

Zhang Cang didn't come here, he is still staying in Taiyuan. Although this person is timid, his ability to govern the country is really good. Today's Tang Dynasty can call out more than 5 elites at will, and it will not affect domestic production. , This national power is comparable only to Qi State. Guan Ying carefully observed Tang State and found that if they spared no effort to recruit national power, they could recruit more than 30 troops.

And it is different from Qi, because Tang is surrounded by enemies on three sides. The people here are fierce and they often fight. There are many fierce beasts in the mountains. Even ordinary people occasionally go up to the mountains to hunt. Under the same scale, Qi’s soldiers will definitely not be able to beat Tang’s soldiers. .

What's more, Tang's middle and lower-level officers were all elites drawn from the Northern Army, that is, the personal soldiers of the Tang King.

The generals at the upper level were all the fierce generals of the original Peng Yue and Ying Bu. The quality of the army was extremely high. In terms of the configuration of the generals, they all surpassed the configuration of the North and South Army.Of course, after Guan Ying was in command of these people, he still inserted several members of the Great Han Fierce Heavenly Corps, just to make his command easier.

Facing the Xiongnu at this moment, these Tang soldiers did not have the slightest fear, but their eyes were full of anticipation. During this period of time, Zhang Cang used his general skills to the extreme, and he even gave internal orders to loot the Xiongnu livestock. If you take back three heads, you can be promoted to nobility, and if you can bring back a Xiongnu's head, you can be promoted to two nobility.
Zhang Cang really regarded Tang State as Qin State to develop, so that when these people saw the enemy, their eyes were always above their heads and their eyes were fixed.

This method can only be imitated by Tang State, because Tang State has a vast territory and abundant resources, and there is a large amount of land that can be awarded to meritorious soldiers, which other vassal states cannot do.

What is the most outrageous thing?The most outrageous thing is that Tang has a standing cavalry. There are more than 600 knights and about [-] horses.

Thinking of this, Guan Ying couldn't calm down, I only have more than 2000 horses!What do you Tang Guo want to do? !

What is terrifying is that the people and soldiers of the Tang state do not recognize any princes and generals, they only recognize the king of Tang.Even when Guan Ying gave orders to the soldiers, they had to use the name of King Tang to give orders. Otherwise, those fierce generals who had followed Peng Yueyingbu would not ignore him at all, but raised their noses high, as if they were saying: "Nei Gong" You also worked for Xiang Yu back then. What's so great about you?
They were imprisoned by the Han, but were pardoned by the Tang King and brought back to the Tang state. Therefore, they only recognized the Tang King as their master.

When the soldiers at the bottom mentioned King Tang, they admired him even more. They even showed off to Guan Ying with a smile, saying that King Tang had borrowed three sheep and a cow from him, and the lambs and calves that were born were counted as his. Where in the world can there be such a benevolent and righteous king as our great king?

Guan Ying really couldn't connect the little brat in Chang'an City with Lord Renyi Mingjun.

However, what happened to Tang is not related to Guanying. He is a relatively pure general, and he does not worry about whether King Tang will rebel like other generals. If King Tang rebels, the emperor will order If you let yourself fight, then you will fight. If there is no order, the Tang king is the self-proclaimed emperor, so what does he have to do with him?

The Xiongnu began to test, and the Xiongnu cavalry rushed towards the city wall quickly. After approaching, they pulled their bows and shot arrows. The arrow rain suddenly enveloped the Great Wall. After shooting a round of arrows, they immediately retreated, and the second team began to run away Come, draw the bow and shoot the arrow again, they are extremely fast, and the bow and arrow are only for a moment, so that the Han army has no way to fight back.

Under the protection of the big shield and the city wall, the archers of the big Han began to counterattack, the strong crossbow and the strong bow were drawn in an orderly manner, and occasionally a few Xiongnu knights could be shot, but the probability was not high.

At this time, Modun had already appeared on the edge of the Great Wall of Yan Kingdom.

Mo Dun's steed is very tall, black and extremely ferocious. No other steed dares to approach. Riding on such a tall steed, Mo Dun can lower his head and look at the generals around him, showing his high status.

"Standing a plow and tutu. Something is not right. There is no flag on the Great Wall, it is empty."

A general looked at the Great Wall in the distance and asked, "They usually station a large number of troops, how could it be empty at this moment?"

"Hahaha, they must have summoned the army to Tang Country, and Yan Country has become an empty country!" Another general said loudly.

"No, they have an ambush here, they are deliberately trying to lure us."

Mo Dun squinted his eyes and grinned, "Five chariot guards, come, you ride my horse and take my flag to attack the Great Wall and Yan Kingdom!"

"it is good!"

No one will refuse Modun's orders, even if he asks you to die. This is Modun's consistent style. No matter what he says, no one should hesitate. You must agree immediately, otherwise, he will make your life worse .He even shot his own father to death. Even the generals who were close to him on weekdays were extremely afraid of him. No matter what Modun said, he did not dare to hesitate.

One of the generals rode on Mo Dun's horse, carried his banner, shouted loudly, and immediately began to charge with the cavalry.

The Huns' cavalry roared, holding bows, and ran towards the city wall.

"Brush~~"

Almost at the moment when they were about to reach the city wall, countless flags were suddenly erected.

"together."

"Zhao."

"Beam."

"Chu."

"Swallow."

In the middle position, a big man's flag fluttered in the wind, Xia Houying waved his hand violently, "Kill!!!"

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~~"

For a time, arrows and crossbow arrows flew out and shrouded the Xiongnu cavalry who were charging at the forefront. It was only at that moment that the horses neighed and the cavalry howled miserably. They began to use their best cavalry shooting tactics again, round-trip shooting. Only the first salvo caused huge trauma to the Xiongnu. After that, the cavalry relied on the favorable speed advantage and continued to mount and shoot.

The Xiongnu cavalry seemed not to be afraid of death at all. They were calm and composed, and they withdrew after a round of shooting.

When the Huns fought, they didn’t give you the chance to fight at all. They always relied on the advantages of cavalry to fight with you. If you stay still, you will harass them. The nomadic tribes are different. The Huns do not fight independently. They have many different tactics and can cooperate with each other. The Huns are wolves, and Modun is their king.

Therefore, if you want to defeat the Huns, the most important thing is to have horses.

You can't even catch up with the enemy, so you can only passively be beaten. What else do you mean by defeating?

The attack here in the State of Yan is obviously a notch stronger than that in the State of Tang. The strength lies in the frequency of the exchange of riding and shooting. The frequency of the rotation of riding and shooting in the State of Tang is far less than here. The knights here are constantly running and taking turns. The speed is also very fast, and the soldiers of the big Han are basically shrouded under the arrows and fight back against the arrows.

Of course, the soldiers of the big Han are not without advantages. Their arrows have a longer range and greater damage. Because the Huns mainly rely on horseback shooting as a means of fighting, the arrows consume a lot, so they will use what they think. Everything to make arrows, including primitive arrows like bone arrows.

The Han bow is very large, about half the height of a human being, and has a heavy force, while the Xiongnu bow is short and shoots faster, but the damage is not as strong.

Both sides paid a lot of money, and the five-car guard continued to command, and occasionally went there in person to draw bows and shoot arrows to inspire the soldiers on their side.

While fighting hard here, Mo Dun took the rest of the army north. He sent someone to inform Wu Cha Hu. After another half hour of fighting, he retired and rested, waiting for him outside Dai County.

Liu Chang scratched his ears and looked at the "sand table" in front of him.

This is a very crude model, with only a few pieces of wood for the Great Wall and a few stones for the army.

"Master, I can only defend. I can't counterattack at all."

Liu Chang looked at the mess in front of him and begged: "How about I become a Huns?"

Han Xin glanced at him, "Okay." The two got up and changed positions.

Liu Chang grinned, "Hahaha, okay, Master, I will directly concentrate the forces of Tang and Yan Kingdom to attack your Yan land!!" He placed a few stones representing the Huns on the position of Yan Kingdom, With a smile, he shouted: "Your army in Tang and Daidi is slow in marching and can't catch up. I will directly break your Yan country. Well, the armies of all countries have been defeated. ,I won!"

Han Xin looked at him disdainfully, and he slowly moved the stone of Dai County to the position of Yan State.

"Okay, even if you use half a day to smash the Great Wall of Yan Kingdom and kill King Zhao, then you still need half a day to loot Yan Kingdom, and you will encounter counterattacks from the city."

"During this time, my army marched in a hurry and was able to reach the vicinity of the Great Wall of Yan. At this time, it was already the most exhausting time for both of us. However, your horse has been rushing from Tang continuously, and has been galloping all the time. Run. Can you still run a horse?!"

"Can't run anymore? Can you fight with me?!"

Han Xin's voice suddenly increased, and Liu Chang stared blankly at the situation.

"Come again!"

"Okay."

"Should I be a big man?"

Han Xin raised his head in disdain and ignored this idiot.

Liu Chang looked at the situation in front of him and understood, "That's why the master arranged the army in Daidi? Is it for the purpose of encircling and destroying the Xiongnu in the State of Yan?"

"When will you be able to make some progress? Even your little baby can see the end of the storm after attacking the country of Yan. Isn't Modun not as good as you?"

"Then he will attack Dai!! He has always thought that the Northern Army is in Tang and the coalition is in Yan! If you attack Tang, Yan will also attack, and if you attack Yan, Tang will attack. Therefore, he will choose the weakest place. , and let Tang Yandu fall into a hard fight beforehand, making them exhausted and unable to support!! Then directly replace the ground, you can avoid the main force of the Han army and attack directly from the rear! Cooperate with the two feigned troops to annihilate the Han army in one fell swoop !"

"This Mo Dun is really greedy!"

"However, our northern army has always been in Daidi! Just lure him in. Then take advantage of Daidi's terrain. Daidi is full of mountains and rivers, which is the most suitable for ambushing the Xiongnu!!"

Liu Chang jumped up abruptly and shouted loudly, "Master!! What do you think of my plan?!"

"We can defeat the enemy and the generation!"

"I really am a genius! If you let me direct this battle! The Huns will surely perish!"

Seeing the brat's arrogant appearance, Han Xin's face twitched, and he asked with a dark face, "Then why do you think I arranged the Northern Army in Daidi in advance?"

"Well, the master thinks the same as me! It really is a hero who sees the same thing!"

"roll!"

"Master. What if Mo Dun insists on attacking Tang country?"

"There are more mountains and rivers in Tang country than in the past, bringing large-scale cavalry to Tang country. Morton is not crazy yet."

Liu Chang looked at Han Xin with even more admiration in his eyes, with stars shining in his eyes, "Master. I finally know why people like Fan Kuai are so afraid of you."

"Heh, this kind of strategy can only be used once. You have to be very angry, and you can only use this strategy when you are in a hurry to destroy the Dahan army. Even if you use your new thing to shock the horse, right For the Xiongnu army, it is useless. Do you know why Modun is willing to attack with a large number of troops this time?"

"do not know."

"If I'm not mistaken, what he brought this time are the elites of other tribes. He wants to integrate the grasslands. Using people from other tribes to attack the big Han, weaken the big Han, and also weaken the speed of the rise of other tribes, the Xiongnu Soon, among the millions of people under his command, there were less than 20 Huns."

"He went out to fight over the years, and he seems to have a lot of trust in other tribes. In fact, after this battle to weaken their strength in disguise, the Huns will be able to completely control all the tribes."

"Isn't he afraid of losing his prestige after the defeat? Aren't he afraid of the rebellion of those tribes?"

"He arranged the Huns to serve as nobles in various tribes. Do you think that this is similar to how the Qin State mobilized people from other six countries to build Chidao and the Great Wall?"

"Will Ying Zheng be afraid of causing a rebellion?"

"He wants these people to rebel, so that he can kill another batch of old nobles."

In the end, Han Xin said very seriously: "Never underestimate your enemy."

When Liu Chang returned to the palace, he was even in a trance.

"What's the matter. Why do you look absent-minded?"

Gai Gong put down the book and looked at Liu Chang in front of him.

"Master. I suddenly feel... I am still a little too young, and there is still a lot to learn."

"Oh?"

"It's good to be aware of your own shortcomings. It shows that you have grown."

"It's still necessary to think about myself three times."

"Master, is this also what Confucianism copied our Huang Lao?"

"Of course! That Zengzi is also a disciple of Laozi. This is naturally our Huang Lao's thinking."

Liu Chang is also used to it. Anyway, in Gai Gong's place, everything belongs to Huang Lao. A few days ago, he wanted to take a leave of absence to study more with Han Xin. Gai Gong also reprimanded him, saying that the military thinking is actually the book that Huang Lao's Liu Chang read. I don't know what he was talking about. Anyway, in the end, he made up his own rhetoric, but Han Xin didn't seem to agree.

"Finally, it's no longer the majestic look it used to be, which is good."

"Heh, master, I just said that I'm still young. When I get older, what will happen to the likes of Modun? I'll catch them alive!"

"I am the direct descendant of the Marquis of Huaiyin, and Xunzi will pass it on. Besides, I am still your master's disciple! The direct descendant of Huang Lao! The Huang Lao who has studied with you for so long, when I am strong, who can fight against me?!"

For a while, Gai Gong didn't know how to reprimand him.

"Bang~~~"

When thunder came from everywhere, the Xiongnu's horse was startled, raised its front hooves, and neighed loudly.

For the first time, surprise appeared on Mo Dun's face.

When he encountered Zhou Bo's ambush, he was not surprised, he just ordered to retreat, but on the way back, the Han army seemed to ignite something, which frightened their horses. Under the terrain of Xiazhai, the elites of the northern army were angry. He slashed and slashed the Huns in front of him, his flesh and blood flew, and the warhorses collided with each other. Modun really did not expect that the enemy had arranged an ambush here.

However, where did the Han army come from so many troops?

Before the war, Modun had investigated the situation of the Han army. It is said that only the northern army and the armies of Tang, Yan, Zhao, Chu, Liang and other countries participated in the war.The northern army was in Tang, and the coalition of the rest of the feudal lords was in the state of Yan. Mo Dun suddenly remembered that in the coalition of the feudal lords of the state of Yan, they did not seem to see the flag of the state of Tang. Could it be that the large army guarding the state of Tang was the army of the state of Tang? ?How long has it been since they founded the country, how could there be so many such elite troops? ! ?

For the first time, Modun discovered the speed of Tang's rise, which made him even more angry than he found himself in an ambush.

If it continues like this, then the war in the future will not be between the Huns and the Han, but between the Huns and Tang.

Modun has always been arrogant, which made him unacceptable.

When Modun attacked Daidi, he was well prepared. The front army opened the way, and he followed behind. After encountering an ambush, he directly led the elite to leave, did not participate in the battle, and did not pay a heavy price.

When Guan Ying watched the beacon fires in the distance continue to be lit, he understood that the generation had been effective.

"Come on! Prepare the horse!!"

Guan Ying led the horse and looked at the Tang cavalry who had been preparing for a long time in front of him.

"The banner of Xiongnu Shanyu is right in front of us! In this battle, we should make a contribution to the emperor!!"

The knights were very excited, and they raised their arms and shouted, "Let's make a contribution to the king!!"

Guan Ying was stunned for a moment, and then said loudly: "According to the order of King Tang! Whoever cuts the head of the Xiongnu will be promoted to a rank! Cut the flag capturer and split the earth and give it to the marquis! Kill it!!"

In an instant, the cavalry of Tang country howled and rushed towards the enemy, thousands of horses galloping, Guan Ying shot the general who commanded the charge in the distance with one arrow, and at that moment, the future old superior Shanyu was completely stunned. Where did the cavalry come from? !How dare they charge? !

And when Mao Dun, who had finally left Daidi, was leaving the Great Wall, suddenly knights came to report in embarrassment, and scouts came, and the large-scale army of Yuezhi was storming the hinterland of the Xiongnu, burning, killing and looting.

"Liu Chang!!!!"

Mo Dun raised his head and roared.

ps: I want to ask for a monthly pass, but the monthly pass list has been exploded again. Why is it so difficult to enter the top ten?
Last night, an unknown stray dog ​​entered the backyard and killed three chickens. The ones that were alive were also injured, ah, I am so distressed, there are really many stray dogs now, and they are not People control!
