I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 56, take the initiative to attack

Wang Lei's idea inspired Xu Wei. In addition to the horses, he also has a lot of carriages. The infantry mounted on the chariots can not only increase the marching speed, but also form a chariot formation to resist the attack of the cavalry!

Xu Wei thought for a while and said: "We can use horse-drawn carts to carry soldiers. There are 12000 horse-drawn carts in Mayi, and one horse-drawn cart can carry 5 soldiers. We can carry 5 people and their food and supplies at one time!"

Wang Lei said firmly: "5 people are enough for us to defeat these horse bandits!"

And Niu Gui, who had just rushed back, said: "Captain, the Huns have assembled 4 Hun cavalry in Meiji in Shanyu Qiangqu. It is estimated that Qiangqu wants us to lose both with these horse bandits. He will come to another fisherman to benefit. If we can pay a small price If these horse bandits are eliminated, the Huns may be afraid of our strength and may not dare to move.

So my opinion is that if we want to mobilize all the troops we can, and strive to wipe out the 2 horse bandits in one battle, Qiang Qu’s single position is already unstable, and he dare not risk the Huns’ heavy casualties to deal with us of!I suggest that only [-] soldiers stay behind, and the remaining [-] soldiers go all out to encircle and suppress the horse bandits in Dingxiang County. "

The Chanyu of Qiang Qu was not popular among the Huns.

And all of this started in the sixth year of Xiping, when the ambitious Lingdi wanted to teach him a lesson when he had just unified the grassland, Tanshihuai, and sent 5 troops to attack the Xianbei people in three groups.However, they were defeated by Tan Shihuai, and less than 5 of the 5000 people came back alive.

At that time, the Huns Shan Yu also followed Zang Min to attack Tan Shihuai.The Shanyu of the Huns originally wanted to rescue the tribesmen in the north (at that time most of the Huns had defected to the Xianbei and became the Xianbei people), but they were defeated in a big battle. Shan Yu died, and his son Hu Zheng succeeded him.

At this time, Zhang Xiu, the Zhonglang general of the Xiongnu, was a domineering person. He had a close relationship with Qiang Qu, the right virtuous king, but was at odds with Huzheng.In the second year of Guanghe (179), Zhang Xiu found an excuse, killed Huzheng, and made Qiangqu, the right virtuous king, Shanyu.

Qiangqu Shanyu did not rely on his own strength, but relied on the help of the Han people to become Chanyu. Naturally, the Huns refused to accept him, so his Chanyu status was also in jeopardy, and this forced him to get closer to the court. He can be regarded as the one who listened to the court most among the Huns Shanyu. Over the years, he has been very cooperative with the court's recruitment of Huns soldiers to fight. However, the Han army discriminated against the Huns. The long-term battle made the Huns resent the court and Qiang He is the Shanyu of the Huns.So Qiang Qu didn't dare to take too much risk to deal with Xu Wei and the others.

Xu Wei thought for a while: "That is to say, we have to fight a blitzkrieg, and the annihilation war can deter the Huns?"

Although Niu Gui heard the blitzkrieg for the first time, he still understood the literal meaning. "That's right, if the war between us and the horse bandits drags on for too long, Qiang Qu will definitely make trouble!"

For such a big event, Xu Wei summoned Old Man Wang and the 20 district chiefs and other high-level officials in Mayi.

After discussing with each other for a while, they also felt that it would be best for them to take advantage of the enemy's split and concentrate their superior forces to wipe out all of the enemy.After all, there are too many bottles and cans here in Mayi. If we want to set the battlefield around Mayi, a battle of nearly 20 people can only turn this place into a white field, and their efforts during this period will be in vain.And the battlefield went to Dingxiang County, and they could keep it if they succeeded in building in Mayi.

After unifying their thinking, Old Man Wang and Old Niu took 2 soldiers and stayed in Mayi to watch the house.

Xu Wei and the others took 8 soldiers and took away all the horses and carriages. The 8 soldiers were on the carriages and attacked Dingxiang County mightily.

And Wang Lei's two thousand cavalry are the vanguard.

Encountered a small group of horse bandits along the way, Wang Lei commanded the cavalry to outflank the horse bandits, cut off the rear of these horse bandits, and then shoot with crossbows and arrows. Generally, after such a round, more than half of the small group of horse bandits would be killed or killed. When the road is cut off, most of them will raise their hands and surrender!But if there are still diehards, Wang Lei will command the cavalry to break through in the center and hack these diehard horse bandits to death.

Relying on the advantages of equipment, Wang Lei kept clearing the horse bandits around him along the way. Most of these horse bandits were like sparrows, dozens or hundreds of them, and they were not regular opponents like Wang Lei and the others.

With less than 10 casualties, Wang Lei and the others killed and captured more than 2000 horse bandits!

After losing thousands of people, the horse bandits in Dingxiang County realized it.Mayi's Lei Gong Department came to kill him.

This is something that the horse bandits in Dingxiang County did not expect. They thought they had the advantage of the cavalry, and Lei Gong in Mayi could only defend and did not dare to take the initiative to attack.But now more than 8 people rushed to Dingxiang County in a mighty manner, which directly frightened the small group of horse bandits, and the horse bandits who were close to Xu Wei's troops kept retreating to Dingxiang.

"Everyone said what to do. This Lei Gong is not easy to mess with. Gongsun Zan, who is famous in northern Xinjiang, has also been defeated by him repeatedly. Even the [-] frontier troops can't do anything to him. I'm afraid we are not enough for him to deal with!" A one-eyed horse The bandit leader said worriedly.

"Lone wolf, it's too late to be scared now, people are coming here, don't you want to run away without a fight, don't let the brothers laugh at you. In my opinion, this is an opportunity for us. Originally, their 10 People are surrounding Mayi, and it is still difficult for us to attack, but now that Lei Gong has brought 8 infantry to the grassland, we don't have to be afraid, this is our territory, we are free to come and go on horseback, and take the initiative Quan, [-] yellow scarf thieves may not be able to fight!" A horse bandit leader named Huo Shaoyun seriously analyzed.

"Huo Shaoyun is right. This Lei Gong is proud of winning several battles. He dared to fight our cavalry on the plain. This is not courting death. We gathered all our brothers. 4 cavalry fought 8 infantry. The advantage lies with us! As long as we defeat these [-] infantry, the main force of the Lei Gong Department will be wiped out, and Mayi's billions of dollars of wealth will be ours."

Speaking of Mayi's billions of dollars of wealth, everyone's eyes became hot. Those present were either horse bandits or bandits, and among them were Qiang people, Huns, Xianbei people and Han people. Isn't it because of these billions of wealth that they gave up their identities and hatred!

"Huoshaoyun, Mayi really has billions of dollars in wealth. I heard that this yellow scarf thief is very poor. Most people can't even eat enough, and they can't even have a weapon, so every time there is an incident, even if there are millions people, but they were still defeated by the tens of thousands of soldiers of the big man!" Ke, a Xianbei man, was the most skeptical.
