Destiny Only Han

Shangjun, Fushi County.

After a day's rest, the partial division led by Liu Ying started marching in the direction of Guyunzhong County after eating and drinking enough.

Under Han Xin's arrangement, the leading general of Xingjun who played the vanguard was Lin Zhi, a war madman, and the deputy general was Lu Matong who had just returned from the Huns.

With Lu Matong leading them, they could go straight to Maodun's base camp in Yunzhong County.

Although Mao Dun himself could not be caught, it was a worthwhile trip to catch some cattle and sheep.

Therefore, the main force of Xingjun was naturally the Xiongnu Huqi in Liu Ying's young army, and the northern cavalry assembled by Lin Zhi in Shangjun.

A total of more than 5000 people.

Although those Huqi were Huns, they more or less had enmity with the dignitaries of the same race, and wished they could cut off their heads with their own hands, so there was no need to worry that they would turn against each other.

As for the young army brought by Liu Ying, Guanzhong soldiers, and Shangjun soldiers, they set off with the convoy of supplies.

This is a set of standard offensive methods.

If the Xing army finds a small group of enemies, it will naturally defeat them unceremoniously and try to wipe them out. With those Hu cavalry who are good at riding and shooting and the configuration of one man and two horses, it is not difficult to achieve such a tactical goal.

But when the Xiongnu discovered the invading Han army and tried to gather a large group of cavalry to fight a decisive battle with the Xing army, the Xing army quickly retreated to the vicinity of the main force behind.

At this time, the main force will launch a car formation, ready to defend and counterattack.

In order to achieve this tactic, Liu Ying made corresponding changes to the four-wheeled carriage used by the general. The wooden boards on both sides of the caravan can be disassembled and spliced ​​together, and one side of the board is also nailed. Thin iron sheet.

Well, although it is thin, it is still no problem to defend against sword slashing or bow and arrow shooting.

The specific combat method is to surround the four-wheeled carriages into a camp, and then remove the wooden boards inside the carriages and splice them on top of the outer carriages, thus doubling the height of the carriages facing the enemy and forming a huge shield.

Although this tactic is not offensive at all, it is as stable as Mount Tai.

For example, Li Ling back then, such as the battle of Kangtanggou in Xichuan, the three victories in Huangzhong during the Ming Dynasty.

The Mongolian cavalry used superior forces to surround the Ming army formed by artillery and chariots. First, they "attacked from all sides, and the arrows rained like rain", and did not take advantage.

Afterwards, "Attack Qinan in four episodes", concentrated forces to attack the Xining battalion, the main force of the Ming army, with the intention of opening a gap first and then smashing the Ming army's chariot formation, but it still didn't work.

After that, they suffered heavy losses under the firearms of the Ming army, and the red-eyed Mongolian cavalry showed their final cards:

Fu Xiao rides heavy armor, fights with a long spear and hooks, and single-handedly offends Xining soldiers!
The meaning of this sentence is obvious. It is nothing more than the heavy cavalry starting to be brainless.

Of course, another wave of heads was sent.

However, if the opponent has installed a large number of artillery, the situation will be different.

For example, in the battle of Daling River in the fourth year of Emperor Huaizong of Ming Dynasty, Zhang Chun, who rescued Daling River, led more than 4 people, and formed a dense infantry phalanx mainly composed of chariot soldiers, facing the [-] cavalry of Houjin.

Hou Jin did not repeat the mistakes of the Mongols. He took out forty cannons in red clothes and bombarded them in a burst, smashing the Ming army's chariots, and then the cavalry chased them and wiped out the Ming army.

It's just that today's Huns don't have a big weapon like artillery. On the contrary, when Liu Ying set off, he brought a lot of second kicks...

Under his fine-tuning, the gunpowder in this kind of firecracker will only be lethal unless it explodes close to the body, otherwise it will just be heard...

Well, the kind that can shatter human eardrums!
Horses are sensitive and timid herbivores, especially the semi-wild horses scattered on the grasslands of the Huns without much social training, and their personalities are even more timid and sensitive.

When the firecrackers exploded among the horses of the Huns, it would definitely produce unexpected effects!
And at this time, it was time for the cavalry of the Han army hiding in the chariot formation to launch a counterattack!

Liu Ying was riding on a horse, feeling the majestic autumn wind on the grassland, and felt that if he hadn't had the task of cooperating with Liu Bang in fighting and waiting for the opportunity to copy the Huns' retreat, he would have thought of leading the army to go further north and fight for it. Seal the wolf for a while...

Although, he doesn't know the way.

................................................

Yanmen County, Mayi City.

The Sun Also Rises.

Surrounded by a team of shield-bearing soldiers, Han Wangxin patrolled the city defense as usual.

After two days of onslaught, the Huns on the opposite side left thousands of corpses and retreated in a hurry, stationed on the flat land around Mayi City where the trees had been cut down and used as farmland.

In the past few days, although the Huns did not launch an attack and made the Korean soldiers in the city rich again, they also made them happy.

Tens of thousands of Xiongnu soldiers, hundreds of thousands of horses, cattle and sheep, will leave a pile of shit like a hill every day...

This is all fertilizer!

This makes the soldiers of the Korean army who are worried about the poor farmland outside the city and the low food production, how can they be unhappy?

You must know that these soldiers are all garrison soldiers of the Wu nationality. They are soldiers in wartime and farmers in peacetime. Although they can't beheaded and made meritorious deeds now, the enemy has taken the initiative to help them fertilize their fields...

For a while, the soldiers of the Han army even hoped that Liu Bang's reinforcements would come back a few days later...

On the top of the city wall, among the smiling faces, Han Wangxin walked to the section of the city wall near the flood control, holding his hand on the wall, slightly dazed.

A few hundred meters away, Tangtang was flowing, and the river seemed to be much narrower than it was a few days ago.

In other words, the water level has dropped a lot!
Han Wangxin has fought for a long time, so how could he not know what this change means.

Water attack!

The enemy must have laid a dam upstream, artificially cut off the water control, and then pretended to attack the city to dig up the embankment next to Mayi City, and then flooded the city with water!

Han Wangxin looked at the Xiongnu camp in the distance with an inexplicable expression, and really believed what Lu Matong said, among the Huns, there were indeed people from the Central Plains who defected to the Hulu!
The tactics used by the Huns to siege the city two days ago were too rough, so Han Wangxin could not convince Lu Matong of the intelligence he had spied, but the current water attack tactics of building dams and digging embankments are definitely not the Huns who drink blood. Anything a person can think of!
So, it all makes sense.

After all, when Qin Jun was in the Warring States Period, it was this water attack method that he was best at using.

For example, Bai Qi flooded Yancheng and beat Chu to death in one fell swoop...

Of course, the state of Chu later rose again when Qin State defeated Handan and was beaten up by Lord Xinling at the door of his house. That is another story.

Another example is Wang Ben's flooding of Daliang, which eventually destroyed the State of Wei.

Well, this time Wei Guo is really unable to recover...

It's just that Han Wangxin stood on the top of the wall and scratched his head, with a look of disdain on his face.

Today's Mayi City is not a rammed earth city wall, but a city wall made of cement bricks, which is not afraid of water attack at all. On the contrary, when the city wall was just built, the workers who built the city kept pouring water on the city wall. Supposedly to help the cement harden...

Although Han Wangxin didn't know much about this, after all, seeing is believing. The city wall did not melt and peel off due to splashing water. Although I don't know if it is stronger, at least it is true that it is not afraid of flooding!

Moreover, when building the city, in order to prevent waterlogging in the city, many sewer pipes were dug on purpose, leading directly to the water control channel...

Therefore, even if the dyke is destroyed and Mayi is flooded, the flood water can flow back to the water along the sewer without silting up in the city.

Thinking of this, Han Wangxin ordered the soldiers around him to tell the recruited civilians in the city to order them to raise the wellhead so that they would not be polluted by the flood...

He learned the word pollution from Liu Ying. Although he didn't know what pollution was, the ancients were not fools. Wherever they could drink well water, people hardly went to the river to fetch water.

Without him, dirty.

..........................................

Daijun, Banshi County (now southeast of Datong City, Shanxi).

After almost putting Daiwang's family under house arrest in the palace, Ding Fu led the assembled Daijun soldiers to station here to prevent the Huns from attacking Daiguo from here.

At the same time, he also wrote memorials about what he had done, and sent them to Xiangguo Mansion in Liyang and Liu Ying's East Palace respectively.

The former is naturally to explain the situation to Xiao He, who supervises the country, and the latter is to prevent Liu Bang from punishing him because of his deep brotherhood, so he can have a backer.

After all, he is Liu Ying's disciple now, how can brotherhood compare to father-son relationship?
Besides, he also had something to say, if Liu Xi, as the king of Dai, left his fief and ran away alone, the army of that Dai kingdom would probably collapse without fighting the Huns when they fought with the Huns...

Therefore, as a national lieutenant, it is very reasonable to imprison your own king!

When it was almost noon, in the shadow cast by Mount Heng in the distance, a cavalry team of thousands of people was rapidly approaching.

Ding Fu took out his binoculars and saw a huge battle flag of the Han army flying in the cavalry, so he was relieved and prepared to go out of the city to meet him in person.

Although he didn't have much friendship with Zhou Bo who brought the army to aid him, he still knew that face.

After all, Zhou Bo was a marshal of the army in Pei County, and he was ranked first in the army in terms of seniority and military exploits. Zhou Bo may not know Ding Fu, but Ding Fu must know Zhou Bo.

Hundreds of meters away from the city, when the two rode together, Ding Fu deliberately fell behind by half a horse's head. Zhou Bo was very satisfied with seeing it, and turned around and asked, "Where is Dai Wang?"

Ding Fu looked a little unnatural: "Dai Wang is currently living in the palace, and has not come to the front line in person."

Zhou Bo heaved a sigh of relief, nodded with a smile and said, "It's just right that he doesn't come, so as not to lead everyone to death..."

Ding Fu pretended not to hear, and said to himself: "Yesterday evening, I received a letter from Fei Ge, saying that His Majesty has arrived at the south of Ju (gōu) Zhushan (Yanmen Mountain) and ordered me to meet Jianghou. Immediately march to Mayi City, and if you encounter an enemy attack, just stick to the spot and don't underestimate the enemy and rush forward!"

Zhou Bo nodded at first, and then said disdainfully: "The mere Huns, the Miner barbarians, are they worthy of such caution? Forget it, forget it, who told him that the military order is like a mountain? We will act according to the military order..."
