I use martial arts to train soldiers in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 21 Departure, the first battle in the north

The 15th day passed by unconsciously.

During these 15 days, Deng Wu successfully "deceived" Cai Yan to stay with Huang Shuyi.After Deng Wu practiced martial arts in the morning, he would occasionally listen to Cai Yan playing the piano to deepen his good impression and impression.In the afternoon, he went to the military camp to train the cavalry team, and in the evening he and Xi Yan carefully planned the plan to go north.In order to cooperate with Xi Yan, Deng Wu fired two more sets of more fine colored glazes.A pair of eagles strike the sky, and a pair of wolves howl at the moon.Not to mention how fine it is, it is lifelike.But at least it has a nose and eyes.The appearance can still be recognized at a glance as to what it is.Moreover, it is very fancy and dazzling under the sun.

Today, dusk.A hundred miles northeast of Yanmen Pass, in an unnamed valley.Thousands of cavalry gathered here, and the scene was silent.Taking a closer look, it was Deng Wu and his party.I saw Deng Wu standing on a big rock, facing the bottom and said: "Going another eighty miles to the north, it will be the territory of the Huns. In the past, foreigners invaded us on their own initiative, robbed us, ate ours, and used them to kill us." Ours, we still want to play with ours. This time we will go blood for blood, tooth for tooth. Steal theirs, eat theirs, use theirs."

After speaking, Deng Wu glanced at the angry, hateful, and excited soldiers below.Then he said slowly: "I would like to talk about the rules of this time again: all seized materials will be confiscated, and the materials seized by the army will be distributed in three layers. I hereby promise that for this expedition, the soldiers who return safely will be given at least hardware. For the soldiers who unfortunately died, at least ten gold will be allocated to settle down. If there are wives and children, XX will be responsible for raising them."

Deng Wu paused for a while, and then continued: "If anyone finds private possessions, trophies and supplies, he will definitely be executed. Because these supplies belong to everyone, and they are used to distribute the resettlement allowances for the sacrificed soldiers..." And Cracking, after talking a lot.Deng Wu ordered the troops to be disbanded, and sent scouts to set up camp.

This time going north, Deng Wu also did enough homework.In the north of Yanmen Pass, the foreign ethnic groups distributed mainly include: a small part of the Qiang people in the east, a small part of the Southern Xiongnu and Xianbei in the middle, and a small part of Karasuma in the west.Among them, the Qiang and Karasuma are also large ethnic groups, mainly distributed in the northwest and northeast of the Han Dynasty.And this time Deng Wu's main targets were the Qiang people and the Southern Huns.However, the purpose is to disturb the north.

In the evening of the next day, Deng Wu took 1500 cavalry disguised as Xianbei, carrying dry food for ten days.Leave Deng Mao and 500 people to stay in this valley and build fortifications as a material transfer station.The accompanying soldiers were: Dian Wei, Zhang Liao, Chen Dao, He Yi, He Man, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, Cheng Rong, and Liao Peng.Take Chen Dao as the scout leader to investigate first, and Liao Hua as the rear.Deng Wu took the rest of the soldiers and cavalry with him and set off for the central part.

After a night of rushing, Deng Wu was more than 150 miles away from Yanmen Pass, and had completely entered the territory of the Huns.During the period, we crossed several small tribes near Yanmen Pass, without disturbing the herdsmen and hunting dogs in the tribe.They found a place to set up camp, and sent scouts to investigate the distribution of tribes within a hundred miles.

At dusk, the large tent of the Chinese army.Deng Wu sat at the top and listened to Chen Dao's report.

I only heard Chen Dao say: "Master, sixty miles to the west, there are five small tribes and one medium tribe. They are separated by about 20 miles, and they have not been found out. There are four small tribes of the Xiongnu in fifty miles to the north. The tribes are distributed in about 30 miles. Because of the large-scale hunting in the east, only one medium-sized tribe of Xianbei was found."

Deng Wu listened to the information that Chen Dao spied, and said: "The situation in the east is unknown, so we won't deal with it for now. The distance between the west and the west is too close, so let's put it aside for now. Rest for two hours, and they will be wiped out tonight. The four Huns in the north Small tribe."

After talking about the strategic purpose for tonight, Deng Wu scanned the soldiers in the tent again.Then he said: "What is the population of these four Xiongnu tribes? How many people are there to control strings? Chen Dao will talk about it first. After talking, as for how to fight? Do you have any suggestions?"

The Xiongnu are nomadic people, and their ethnic groups live on grass.The population of the tribe is even more variable, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of people.

All the soldiers in the big account, first you look at me, and I look at you.Then Chen Dao came out and said: "Your Majesty! The small tribes of the Xiongnu range from a hundred to 2000 people. According to the information of my subordinates, these four small tribes, from east to west, are: the easternmost There are more than 600 people in the tribe, more than 1000 people who control strings. More than 500 people, more than [-] people who control strings. More than [-] people, more than [-] people who control strings, and more than [-] people in the far west. .There are more than two hundred people who control strings."

Chen Dao paused for a while, then continued: "These four tribes have a total population of more than 4000 people, and more than 1600 people who control strings."

After Chen Dao finished speaking, Deng Wu glanced at the tent and said, "The basic situation is like this. Does any of you have a good method? It can effectively attack the target."

"What are you thinking of? According to me, if my brothers take the lead with heavy cavalry, charge directly to the camp, and fight directly from east to west, it will be over." He Yi said.

Everyone ignored He Yi's honesty and continued to think with his head down.Don't you have any idea how far your heavy cavalry can run?The four tribes are more than 100 miles apart, and they have to fight four times in a row.

At this time, Zhang Liao stood up and asked Chen Dao: "Captain Chen, how far apart are the two tribes in the middle?"

"The distance is about 40 miles. The two small tribes on both sides meet and the two tribes in the middle are about 30 miles away," Chen Dao replied.

After hearing Chen Dao's answer, Zhang Liao lowered his head and began to think deeply.

"Why, does Wenyuan have a good plan?" Deng Wu asked.

"My lord, we can raid the two larger tribes in the middle. Let's start with the more than 600 people who control strings in the east. After the raid, we will raid another tribe non-stop. After raiding these two tribes, rest for half a day." Time. The remaining two small tribes, each with 500 cavalry, can be easily wiped out. During the period, scouts will walk around to prevent news from leaking." Zhang Liao finished.

Deng Wu saw that the soldiers didn't have any good opinions, so he made a decision: "Let's do it like this, everyone go down to rest, recharge your energy, and there will be a few big battles tonight!"

"If!" All the soldiers replied, and then filed out.

In the middle of Hai hour, the sky is full of stars and the bright moon is in the sky.The Aliza tribe ends their day of grazing.The leader, Aliza, also returned to his big tent, and fell asleep with his young daughter-in-law snatched from the Han people in his arms.

At this moment, 500 paces away from the Huns' camp, there were only a few people.After pausing for a while, two teams of knights separated from each other, like a crab, and surrounded the Huns' camp in a U shape.

"Hey...my lord, this is a small Hun camp anyway. There isn't even a guard on guard, not even the bandits in our Han territory."

"Most of the nomads of the Xiongnu are used to grazing at sunrise and gathering at sunset. On important days, they light fireworks, sing and dance. If there are no important days, three or five friends gather in tents, drinking and having fun. Fighting At that time, except for the nobles and the royal court who were on guard, none of them were on guard, let alone not fighting now." Deng Wu explained.

"Wouldn't it be cheaper for us?" He Man who was next to him said.

"Stop talking nonsense! Tell the brothers, after two rounds of arrow rain, rush in, and kill anyone with a weapon in their hand. Also, tell the brothers to be careful not to hurt Lao Tzu's horse."

In the distance, two teams of knights were still 50 steps away from the Huns' camp.Led by Zhou Cang and Liao Hua, they suddenly separated from the two sides, surrounded the Huns' camp and shot arrows into it.After launching the attack for ten breaths (20 seconds), Dian Wei took the lead, and He Yi and He Man lined up on both sides, forming a conical formation of heavy cavalry.Charging towards the Huns camp, when they were still 50 steps away from the Huns camp, the heavy cavalry took out their hand axes, followed closely by other cavalrymen who also took out their throwing spears.When the distance is 30 steps, the gift comes out.

This battle came and went quickly.First, there was a sudden shower of arrows.Followed by flying spears all over the sky and sporadic hand axes, many Huns were still asleep and went to see their Changshengtian.Its leader Aliza escaped the flying feathers and spears all over the sky by luck.But good luck was not by his side either, as soon as he got out of the big tent, he met Dian Wei who was charging head-on, and Dian Wei gave him a dove.

After Deng Wu charged, he rushed towards the next gathering place without looking back.Only He Yi, He Man, Zhou Cang and Liao Hua were left to lead 500 cavalry, and charged back and forth twice.Zhou Cang and Liao Hua led another 200 cavalry, and rushed east to join Cheng Rong's 100 cavalry to raid the small tribe.

After several divisions, Deng Wu still has 800 cavalry beside him. Deng Wu took Dian Wei, Zhang Liao and Chen Dao to the next target.

It turned out that Cheng Rong and Liao Peng each took 100 cavalry to monitor two small tribes before they set off.After waiting for the follow-up troops to reach the confluence, attack first.

For a distance of more than 40 miles, even one person and two horses galloped for half an hour.By the time Deng Wu arrived a mile away from the tribe, it was almost ten o'clock in the morning.The one who came together to take charge of surveillance was the tenth scout.Deng Wu said: "How is the situation? Is there any way to alert the enemy?"

The ten chief of the scouts said: "My lord, everything is as usual, and there is no surprise."

Deng Wu said something very good, and was just about to give the order to rest for a while to recharge his batteries.Zhang Liao, who was standing next to him, said hurriedly: "Sir, our morale is now at its peak. Let's work together to capture the camp in front of us."

When he saw Deng Wu looking at him suspiciously, Zhang Liao whispered to Deng Wu again: "My lord, our soldiers are no better than the nomadic cavalry on horseback all the year round. After the war, it would be better to have a longer rest. If Just resting for a while, the blood and morale of the soldiers will be reduced, and it will also lead to a series of consequences such as swelling and numbness."

Are there any such consequences?Deng Wu didn't know.However, he still decided to follow Zhang Liao's suggestion.Immediately rectify the team and prepare to raid the camp in front of them.

Same formula, same tactics.Only this time, Zhang Liao and Chen Dao were in charge of going around the camp, shooting arrows and spears into it.Deng Wu brought 400 knights and Dian Wei to charge.

After breaking through the camp, he ordered Chen Dao to lead the archers and 200 ordinary knights to the next camp.Join Liao Peng and launch a raid on the last camp.

After Chen Dao left, Deng Wu turned his horse around again and led the team to charge several times.After that, they traveled freely and horizontally in this camp in units of one tenth.

This time, Deng Wu really felt the cruelty of the cold weapon era.Some of the enemies frantically rushed forward to fight the cavalry to the death, some were at a loss and turned around, and some even stood in place and huddled together, trembling.The knights moving back and forth, holding shining spears in their hands, reflected the spattering blood.Under the reflection of the fire, a thrilling war symphony was played...
