Hanbo

Chapter 33

In the early stage of this battle, Huo Shan had the upper hand, he was going to catch Wei Qing by surprise, and then grind Wei Qing to death. The cavalry tactics of later generations can be described as one after another.

Wei Qing was very shocked, these tactics made him a little confused, exhausted, and more than 1000 people were eaten by Huo Shan before he knew it.

But with the passage of time, Wei Qing finally found out a little bit of the truth, seized the opportunity, and cooperated with Huo Shan very much.

'Aren't you trying to grind me to death?Come on, I'll let you grind! '

Wei Qing continued to cooperate with the evacuation of troops one after another, ten or so today, dozens tomorrow, slowly hiding.

Originally the battlefield was on the plains, but as the battlefield progressed, it gradually moved to hilly areas, and Huo Shan naturally discovered this:
'This is to take me to play infantry in the hilly area! '

Huo Shan still had some ideas in his heart, the cavalry could still play with Wei Qing by virtue of his mobility, but the cold-armed infantry should forget it, he would be played to death by Wei Qing!

So Huo Shan thought for a while, our side has almost no reduction in personnel, and your side has [-] left, so he launched an offensive.

But Wei Qing adopts turtle tactics, you want to fight with me, but I don't want to fight with you, so let's delay it slowly!

With the passage of time and the tension between the two parties, Wei Qing suddenly said:
"You have fifteen thousand horses left, where did you get two thousand cavalry?"

Huo Shan was instantly dumbfounded.

Think about it carefully, yes, I count people, I don’t count horses, this is not a motorcycle, and no one can resist horses!
Huo Shan's [-] cavalry immediately turned into nearly [-] infantry and [-] cavalry, and his mobility was no longer possible!
Then it was Wei Qing's time, as the battlefield slowly shifted, entering the hilly area, all kinds of water attacks, fire attacks, and ambushes went into battle, but Huo Shan successfully avoided them all, and the damage was less than a hundred!
Knowing more is the only benefit. While the upper limit is high, the lower limit is also high. After all, there are so many classic fire attacks, water attacks, and ambush battles in Chinese history. You have to be on guard everywhere!
Wei Qing actually just wanted to play with Huo Shan at the beginning, but at the beginning he suffered a dull loss, observed carefully, and was easy to deal with, so he mentioned the power of five successes. Now seeing all this, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind:
'Could it be that this little thing wasn't serious just now? '

Wei Qing really found it incredible:

'Is he really a natural handsome talent? '

Then, Wei Qing raised his attention, and Huo Shan gradually lost the wind, and more than 500 people were eaten.

Wei Qing breathed a sigh of relief, it's okay, even if you are a natural handsome talent, but you haven't grown up yet!
Huo Shan didn't think this would work. Although he had [-] infantry and [-] cavalry left, Wei Qing had [-] infantry and [-] cavalry left. Although he had the upper hand, he couldn't beat others!
36 tactics, the best strategy is to walk, if you can't beat it, then save your vitality, I will run!
Seeing this, Wei Qing chuckled lightly:
"Oh, yes, quite decisive, but it's too late!"

"Your army's morale is broken, I won!"

Of course Huo Shan was not convinced:

"You have less than half left, you haven't collapsed yet, why did I collapse?"

"Because I am Wei Qing!"

Wei Qing's words are full of confidence, but Huo Shan is not afraid of him:

"I'm still the champion, even more famous than your Changping marquis!"

In fact, Huo Shan murmured in his heart:
'My subordinates are all able-bodied people, and your subordinates are mediocre! '

Wei Qing was speechless, so he could only point out the problem. It turned out that although Huo Shan's food and grass were well protected, Wei Qing gradually discovered it.

Then there are [-] cavalry against [-]. My cavalry are all warriors, and your cavalry has adapted to guerrilla warfare. You can't stop me!
The food and grass are burned, and the army is fighting alone. Without support, the morale of the army will naturally collapse!

It was only then that Huo Shan realized that he had made two very common mistakes that should not be made in the age of cold weapons, with very serious consequences!

He not only didn't count his own horses, he didn't even count the people consumed by the enemy, so that Wei Qing quietly hid five hundred cavalry.

It is not a problem for the former one to go to the battlefield, but the latter one is a big problem!

Huo Shan could only sigh in his heart:

"Ginger is still old and hot. You can't underestimate anyone who has left a name in history, let alone a famous general!" '

Liu Che who was watching from the side was full of emotion. In his opinion, if Huo Shan was not young and inexperienced, and Wei Qing tricked him, Huo Shan might have won. He is only thirteen!
Liu Che suddenly wanted to cry out loud, his champion Hou is back!

Immediately afterwards, he was extremely excited. With these two people, he could conquer a territory ten times larger than it is now, and a hundred times larger!

Are you afraid that you won't be able to live forever after death, and you won't be able to enter the big world?
Liu Che was very excited, but Huo Shan knew that he was still far behind. He was good at making plans. Even if he led troops, if you asked me to lead them with less than [-] troops, he could still command them and make do with them. The more useless!

Let alone a large army of more than 10 people, if it is more than [-] people, he will not be able to command. War is not just about fighting, it involves all aspects, and the coach must also consider everything, and he cannot make a single mistake!
Although he was convinced of the loss, Huo Shan was not reconciled. He couldn't rush in this aspect, so he could only learn slowly, and he might not be able to learn...

Although Wei Qing's health has improved a lot in the past two years, and it is not a problem to live for more than ten years, he is no longer young.

The whole big man was looking forward to Huo Shan, and he suddenly felt a lot of pressure!

So he was going to make two-handed preparations. He had to learn how to fight with a large army, but if he couldn't learn it, he had to go his own way!
I train soldiers, train strong soldiers, one person can be ten strong soldiers, I make equipment, strong bows, crossbows, weapons and armor that are several grades better than yours.

My 1 people are as good as your 10 people, and my 5 people are as good as your 50 people!
I rely on these [-] strong soldiers to still roam the world!
So Huo Shan ran to the examination room of the Shaofu, and stayed there for more than a month. After he came out, his brain was buzzing. This month, he really used his brain too much, and he was paralyzed from exhaustion!
Wei Qing and the others thought it was a stimulus and a blow to him, and they were worried. They came here a few times, and after seeing that he was fine, they felt relieved!
And what is the result?

The first one is to improve the method of frying and forging steel at this time, so that the production efficiency of iron can be more than doubled, and the steel still needs to be forged, but the quality has improved a lot.

As for the blast furnace steelmaking and the like, it felt a little too advanced when it was not brought out. The craftsmen were astonished by the light that was taken out!
Although studying in a dream is an excuse, but this excuse cannot be known to everyone, and I am still young, so take my time in the future!
The second is to make some improvements to the main weapon of the cavalry at this time, the ring head knife.

There are two types, one is changed from a straight blade to a scimitar more suitable for cavalry, but it is not the kind of scimitar used by nomads.

The change is too big, Huo Shan is afraid that he won't be able to adapt, and, um, too ugly.

What Huo Shan used was the Lancet Knife and the Yanling Knife, which were developed by the ancestor of the Huan Shou Han Knife. Because they resemble willow leaves, they are still called The Lancet Knife.

The other is the Miao Dao, which is slightly curved, elongated, widened and thickened. It is both a sword and a gun at once, and it is called the Champion Dao.

The third is the three treasures of the cavalry. Improve the stirrups and saddles at this time, and take out new-style shoes. The material is changed to grass, and the cloth is iron, which is nailed into the horseshoe.

The fourth is to improve the three volley crossbows and bows at this time.

The Liannu was improved to the Zhuge Liannu that could fire ten rounds in a row. Huo Shan improved on this basis and fired fifteen rounds in a row. It is called the Champion Liannu!
The bow has been improved from a recurve bow to a more labor-saving and more powerful style!

The fifth is the armor. The leather armor of the light cavalry has been improved to a style that can better protect the vital parts. The heavy cavalry directly takes out the appropriate heavy armor and vest, called the champion light armor, the champion heavy armor, and the champion vest!
Except for the new armor, everything else is improved!

By the way, Huo Shan also remodeled the military uniform and military shoes, separated from the top and bottom, with a black bottom and red edges. Wearing them must be heroic, majestic and majestic!

If there are resources, it is to build. He wants to use the resources to pile up a powerful cavalry officer unit that is invincible and invincible, and can be expanded ten times or twenty times easily in the future!

Huo Shan just wanted to ask, you Xiongnu are holding wooden sticks, broken bronze, and broken iron pieces, how do you fight against my fully armed elite cavalry!
Huo Shan strictly ordered that the news should be strictly guarded against me. If the news of these things gets out, he will not be annoyed to death by Liu Che, Wei Qing and others!

However, the news still spread...

But it's just rumors that the little champion Hou has researched a batch of new equipment, and after wearing it, one ride can beat hundreds of rides...

But what it is, the news is very tightly blocked, only Liu Che and a few others know!
Liu Che wanted to equip his Suwei, Langwei, and Beijun, but Huo Shan told him that he had no money!
As soon as he finished saying this, Huo Shan looked at Liu Che's strange eyes, and felt that he was a bit stupid. The national army didn't need the Shaofu to pay for a change of clothes!

Huo Shan didn't care about it either, and said mockingly with an indifferent face:
"If you want to change, you can change it. If you have money, you can change it. If you don't have money, it's easy to do. Add more taxes. The people in the world can control some oil and water. They haven't been squeezed dry. The land of the big households has not yet been cultivated. Where are the slaves!"

Liu Che was about to explode with anger, picked up a knife and was about to cut him down, Huo Shan turned and ran, Liu Che chased for a long time but failed to catch up, and left with an angry old face flushed!
But it's okay, Huo Shan waited for a few days, took delicious food and acted like a baby, the two reconciled as before...

As for why Huo Shan wanted to block the news, one reason was that it was too costly and uneconomical. The equipment of the big man was the strongest in this era, and it had been used for decades. Changing it might affect the combat effectiveness.

Wait until ironmaking develops in the future, and the big man's rich oil will be exchanged when there is more money in the warehouse!

The other is pure selfishness. It will take him three or four years to train the army. The equipment he built has not yet been used by the Huns. Everyone else has it, and he feels uncomfortable!
