Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1373
Fighting bravely in the museum is a common practice, but no matter how lively it is, it is just a schoolchildren's game after all.And the real war is more than a hundred times crueler than what they imagined.

At the end of March, the Northern Shaanxi War that started last autumn came to an end temporarily. At the same time, all kinds of battle reports were also submitted to Taiwan.

For this campaign, the troops deployed in Taiwan included the old powerful Hongwu Army, the new elite Zhenwu Army in Kansai, and the officers and men of the Guanlong Binghedong Army, as well as a large number of followers of the Hu tribes such as Di and Qiang. , up to [-] giants.

Of course, due to the fact that this battle is a passive response to the enemy, and that northern Shaanxi has been in a state of desolation for a long time, there is no ready-made defense line. Constructing the defense line, because it is really used on the frontal battlefield and can flexibly counterattack and kill the enemy, the number of troops has dropped sharply, and it is still less than [-].

The results of this battle can be described as brilliant. Nearly [-] people were killed and beheaded in Saihu who invaded the south, including chiefs of Saihu like Tie Fu Liu Wuhuan.

What is more significant than beheading is that after Wang Shi defeated the southern invasion of Saihu, he even pursued him with his tail on his tail. Near Yinshan.

Of course, this is only the battle report made public to the public. As the frontline commander of this campaign, Xiao Yuandong has other details of the battle report on the farewell table, so the description is much more detailed and detailed.

The Saihu tribes that invaded the south this time were mainly composed of the Xiongnu Tiefu, Gaoche, Dingling and other Hu tribes, with a total force of about tens of thousands. In addition, Hu tribes from other areas in Henan, including Shangjun and Xihe, also took advantage of this to cause chaos. The number of enemies Wang Shi really faced was between thirty thousand.

As for the nearly [-] beheadings, about four to five thousand actually belonged to the Saihu who invaded the south.

This situation is actually reasonable. The current Saihu is not a particularly strong force.In particular, when Zhao and Liu of the Han Dynasty rebelled against China and North Korea, they had taken part of the Hulu forces in the frontier for use, while the other Hulu forces were either too weak to dare to enter China lightly, or the grazing land was remote and they knew little about China. matter.

For example, the Tiefu tribe of the Xiongnu, the main force of the southern invasion, was not a powerful tribe among the Huns, and it was far worse than the Tuge tribe, which had been the royal family of the Huns for a long time.

This time Saihu came south, mainly because of the instigation and temptation of Jiezhu Shihu, who granted the land of Henan Province to Saihu. In addition, the climate and other living conditions in Saihu became more and more harsh. These Saihu also have a choice of habitat need.

But even so, there are not many Hulu who really dare to put this idea into practice.And even those who dared to come to the south still have a lot of hesitation in their hearts.When they arrived in Henan, the process of annexing the existing Zahu tribe went very smoothly, with almost no obstacles, and then they became more determined and continued to come south.

The Hongwu army led by Xiao Yuandong took the lead in meeting the Saihu coalition forces in northern Shaanxi, and killed and beheaded more than [-] Saihu troops in one battle.Such a number of casualties is naturally nothing in the hometown of Zhu Xia, where tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of armies are often fighting.But for those Saihu who have been impoverished for a long time, they are already considered as all the people who can fight in a big tribe.

After this disastrous defeat, the main force of Saihu who invaded south retreated to Henan, and dared not continue to advance.Afterwards, the Guanxi Zhenwu Army went north to take on the enemy. Xiao Yuandong led the Hongwu Army to attack Liu Changming, the Xihe Hun who was about to move because of Saihun's arrival from the south, and defeated Liu Changming's troops.

After that, the two sides confronted each other in northern Shaanxi for nearly two months. During this period, Saihu, who invaded south, also tried to break up into pieces, bypassing the Wangshi defense line and guerrillaizing in the hinterland of Guanzhong. expelled.

After a long period of hard work and lack of resources, at this stage, Saihu, who invaded south, was actually unable to continue, because of this, there were signs of withdrawal.

But Xiao Yuandong understood that as long as the thieves still exist, they will not die. Saihu's southward invasion this time is just a tentative dispatch of troops. The aggression of the Communist Party of China will come one after another, and there will never be peace in northern Shaanxi.

So next, it was time for Master Wang to counterattack. He traveled northward along the Qin Zhidao until the soldiers arrived at the former sites of Shuofang and Jiuyuan.

But to be honest, the result of the counterattack this time is not beautiful. One is that Master Wang is very unfamiliar with the situation on the frontier, far less familiar with the situation on the border than Saihu, who has been active here all year round. In particular, Master Wang chose the wrong time to counterattack. It was the coldest time on the plug.

Although it was difficult for Saihu in such a situation, he had a certain degree of adaptability after all, but Wang Shi was not prepared for this aspect, and the supply line was stretched, which also made the backup weak, and a large number of soldiers suffered from frostbite. die.

Because during the pursuit this time, except for the Hongwu Army who was used to fighting hard, the other groups of troops hardly caused effective damage to the enemy.

Especially when Xiao Yuandong led the crowd to Shuofang, Jiuyuan and other places, he found that the area had been deserted for many years, and it was difficult to form an effective garrison based on this.Because of this, we could only set up a stele as a boundary, marking that all the Hus in the frontier who dared to cross this border would be killed without mercy.

In this process, it is worth mentioning that Xue Tao, the Hedong Army Mansion, unfortunately died outside the Great Wall, and became one of the few senior generals who died on the battlefield since the Northern Expedition.

Xue Tao's death was both an accident and a negligence.At that time, the Hongwu army under Xiao Yuandong passed by from Jiuyuan, and had just raided the old nest of the Tiefu tribe, and it was difficult to trace the trajectory of the remnant of the Tiefu tribe. Fubu is the main culprit of the southern invasion.

The soldiers of the Hedong Prefecture under Xue Tao's department were free to be recruited, so they moved northeastward from the tao area.However, after discovering traces of Tiefu's remnants along the way, Xue Tao did not follow the original plan to set up obstacles on the spot, but chose to take the initiative to attack.

During the fierce battle between the two sides, a Tuoba Dynasty cavalry suddenly appeared on the east road, and together with Tiefu's tribe, they attacked the soldiers of the Hedong government. In the end, the more than [-] soldiers of the Hedong government were wiped out in one battle, and the general Xue Tao also fought to the death on the spot.And this battle also became the battle in northern Shaanxi, and Wang Shi lost the most in a single battle.

In the battle report sent back, Xiao Yuandong also discussed the battle in detail.Although the direct cause of this battle was Xue Tao's aggressive advance underestimating the enemy, the intention to wipe out Tiefu's troops at that time was also the consensus reached by the various departments of Wang Shi, and the frontier was vast and it was easy to get lost. Wang Shi's command system was in such an environment In fact, it is very lagging.

Although Xue Tao decided to attack at that time, although he was suspected of advancing aggressively, if he did not attack at that time, it is very likely that he would lose the trace of the Tiefu Department again.And this battle also reflects that Wang Shi still doesn't have a deep understanding of the relationship between the Saihu tribes. They didn't realize that Tuoba sent troops on behalf of the Congress to interfere with Wang Shi's siege against the Tiefu tribe, so they didn't have enough preparations .

If Dai Guo hadn't suddenly sent troops to intervene, even if Xue Tao's blocking of the enemy could not have won a complete victory, he could have prevented the Tiefu tribe from fleeing and bought time for Hongwu's army to pursue the enemy.

Of course, Xue Tao's death is not without value, at least it caused some obstruction to the fleeing Tiefu Ministry, so that the Hongwu Army in the back road was able to successfully kill Liu Wuhuan, the Zuoxian King of the Xiongnu who was canonized by the Capricorn Lord Shihu, As for the other Tiefu remnants, they were sheltered by the Xianbei Daiguo.

"The situation on the frontier is different from that of China. Although the thieves and barbarians are poor and simple, they are not a problem, but the geography and weather here are actually a serious problem for the king and teacher who practiced the war. There is no smooth transportation route in the army, so it is not suitable to use the frontier..."

At the end of the battle report, Xiao Yuandong not only reviewed his mistakes, but also put forward his own opinions.In Xingtai, he has always been famous for his fearless waves, otherwise it would be difficult for him to make special achievements.But even a character like Xiao Yuandong has said so, which shows that entering this new battlefield will indeed create many real difficulties for the current Master Wang.

After Shen Zhezi finished reviewing Xiao Yuandong's battle report, he didn't feel too much trouble in his heart.In fact, this battle in northern Shaanxi was not lacking in reluctance from the beginning of the planning, and it directly led to the fall of the fortress of the lower reaches of the Yellow River. Quite scared.

Shen Zhezi quite agrees with Xiao Yuandong's opinion.It is enviable to strengthen Hanwei and destroy the border, but it is based on the 70 years of recuperation in the early Han Dynasty. Even if Han Gaozu conquered the Huns, he would suffer from Pingcheng.

Although the power of the current Saihu tribes is far inferior to that of the Xiongnu when they were powerful in those days, the situation under the feasible stage is also far worse than that of the Han ancestors at that time, and even the most basic north-south unification has not been achieved.Under the current situation, if you want to deter the remote areas, there is no shortage of illusions.

Shen Zhezi is quite satisfied with the current situation in this campaign in northern Shaanxi.Successfully blocked Saihu from coming south, and successfully recovered Shuofang, Wuyuan and other Qin and Han old counties. Although it was only a formality, it has to be said that this time the defense of northern Shaanxi, including the subsequent counterattack, was indeed brilliant. success.After this battle, Saihu suffered heavy losses, and northern Shaanxi will be safe for a few years.

Especially in the current situation where the great war is about to unfold, Xingtai demonstrates its strength to the world with actual battle results. Not only can it crusade against civil strife, but it can also kill border thieves. This is of great significance to the integration and encouragement of people's hearts.

As for the details of Xiao Yuandong's internal record, including the merits and demerits of Xue Tao's death in battle, Shen Zhezi did not intend to publish it.In today's world, what is needed is to inspire, to inspire, to inspire again!Under such circumstances, there should be no strange voices of any kind.

To die bravely is to be a hero in the world!To be buried in the imperial garden, to be mourned and honored grandly, are all due meanings.And those more subtle judgments will be left to future generations to grind their teeth in the prosperous age.

After receiving the Shaanxi battle report, Zaixingtai quickly approved the arrival of the border, and ordered the troops from all walks of life in northern Shaanxi, except for the necessary troops to stay in the Shutao area and guard the border towns in Henan, the rest, such as Hongwu, Zhenwu and other walks. Enter Xihe County to rest and reorganize, and stand by to cooperate with Wang Shizhi's Hebei War, and attack Bingzhou at any time.

As for Xianbei's vengeance of interfering with Wang Shi's killing of the enemy on behalf of the country, let it be ignored for the time being.Although Shi Yijian, the acting master, is ambitious, his current existence still brings great troubles to the Jie country. After the Jie country is conquered, how can it be allowed to run rampant for a long time!

　In the Qin Dynasty, Jiuyuan County was changed to Wuyuan County in the Han Dynasty, and Jiuyuan was the county government, which is a bit of a mouthful. . .
