The heavens start from saving Daming

"King Zuoxian, have you never learned the art of war?"

On the hillside, he put down the telescope in his hand. Li Yunze pointed at the Huns arrayed at the edge of the vast sea with confusion, "Don't you understand that people who are thirsty will fight tooth and nail to drink water?"

Su Wu, who was agitated, responded in a low voice, "Maybe he felt that our army was physically and mentally exhausted and hungry and thirsty, so he took advantage of his weakness to strike."

"That being said, the better choice would be to attack when the entire army is relaxed and fighting for water."

Li Yunze shook his head repeatedly, "If you only want to take advantage, you will suffer a loss."

Looking at the restless Su Wu, Li Yunze smiled and waved, "Go if you want, and obey General Huo's command."

Su Wu and other officials were overjoyed. After saluting, they hurriedly rode towards the military formation in front.

The Han Dynasty respected military merit, and with military merit, one could have everything.

Ahead is the battlefield to obtain military honors. Naturally, these officials cannot bear the irresistible temptation.

At this time, the men of the Han Dynasty were exactly the kind of warriors who would be happy to hear a battle.

Seeing his colleagues all riding their horses to join the battlefield, Sima Xiangru, who was already showing his age, subconsciously rode his horse forward two steps, but then came back.

When Li Yunze saw this, he smiled and asked, "Why, you are not interested in military exploits?"

Sima Xiangru glanced at Li Yunze with a resentful look and lowered his head, "Of course I want to win military glory, but..."

But the emperor didn't give him a chance. Every time he applied to join the army or go to the border, he was rejected by the emperor.

After 20 years, he roughly understood that the emperor just didn't want him to make meritorious deeds and spend his whole life being an official who wrote edicts.

He had been racking his brains these past few years and still couldn't figure out how he had offended the emperor.

Always respectful and never overstepping.

Is it because his talent is too high and the emperor is dissatisfied?
Alas, if I had known this, I might as well have gone to a vassal country to find a doctor.

When Sima Xiangru felt sorry for himself, Li Yunze said calmly, "The fight is about to start. If you don't go, you don't have to go."

Hearing this, Sima Xiangru suddenly raised his head and looked at the emperor in disbelief.

After a moment, he saluted excitedly and galloped wildly on his horse to catch up with the military formation in front of him, howling randomly.

Li Yunze added later, "Military merit is a good thing, as long as you earn it with your life."

There are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, boundless and borderless.

Even if Li Yunze is personally commanding, in the absence of modern communication facilities, each can only fight its own way.

On the border between the vast sea and the grassland, the two sides were fighting each other, both intent on killing the other.

Compared with Huo Qubing's previous expedition to Hexi, this time the Han army went to Mobei, and there were changes in tactics.

After many years of investment, the smelting industry has finally solved the problem of low-end spring steel.

Although the quality is not worth mentioning, at least it can be used on a repeating crossbow.

A machine box contains three crossbow bolts, and one shot can activate three crossbow bolts.

With spring steel, both the rate of fire and power have been improved unprecedentedly.

Naturally, the Han cavalry were equipped with such repeating crossbows on a large scale, and then they launched a cavalry shooting attack under the dumbfounded gaze of the Huns.

It's a pity that the Huns' signature tactic was to attack and harass with mounted fire, but now the Han army actually used it better than them!
Brigades of Han cavalry galloped across the ground, and their repeated crossbows were thrown out in pieces following the shouts of officers at all levels.

The range is extremely long, one to two hundred steps is no problem, and it can penetrate leather armor easily.

The Huns often heard the dense sound of "Peng", followed by a large number of short and powerful crossbow arrows, falling like dark clouds.

Crossbow arrows grew out of the covered area like grass.

The riding bows used by the Huns were far apart in terms of range, so they had to bite the bullet and get closer. Several rounds of crossbow bolts came down on the road, and the losses were extremely heavy.

But when they got close, the Han army would rely on their horses to quickly distance themselves, and then continue to harass.

The warriors of the Xiongnu were filled with grief and anger as they watched the arrows in their hands being upgraded from wolf fang arrows to iron arrowheads.

The advantages that they were once proud of now all belong to the Han family.

They can't figure out why, and they can't figure it out because they lack knowledge.

They don’t understand what national strength is and what technological progress is.

After all, in the final analysis, they are just a group of nomadic tribes. They can achieve glory for a while by massacre and plunder. They are essentially no different from an armed bandit group.

Once you encounter a truly powerful opponent, it will be overwhelming.

King Zuo Xian and the kings of the left Xiongnu were also dumbfounded.

They were originally full of confidence.

Because the Han army must be exhausted when crossing the vast sea, and the Huns have accumulated over the years, and their equipment has also been updated.

They finally abandoned the wolf-tooth arrows, which were made from wolf teeth sharpened and then used them as arrowheads, and replaced them all with iron arrowheads.

And he also owns thousands of sets of iron armor that are extremely rare on the grassland!
These are the confidence for them to fight the Han army, but at this moment it seems so ridiculous.

When the Han cavalry galloped back and forth, using their continuous crossbows to cover the fire when they were far away, and charging directly with their lances when they were close, they penetrated the army formation. Only then did the Huns realize in shock that the Han army had already formed a threat to them. An overwhelming advantage!He rides a war horse with excellent endurance and speed. The horse is also equipped with horse armor and is not afraid of the sharp arrows of the Huns.

The knights of the Han army wore soft silk armor on the inside, and a full set of iron armor on the outside, from helmets to iron greaves. Even their faces were covered by ghost masks.

In terms of weapons and equipment, there are repeating crossbows with long range, high power, and fast reloading.

The distance was short and the length was astonishing. The Huns could only look at the long lance in despair when they were hedging, and there were also various melee weapons to assist them.

There is no doubt that, from equipment to tactics, from will to command, the Han army has an overwhelming advantage.

As time passed, Li Yunze, who was watching the battle, even dismounted and sat down on the horse.

His mentality was relaxed because the Han army had already gained an absolute advantage.

He couldn't see those who were running too far on the edge of the battlefield. Wherever he could see, the Han troops were constantly attacking, knocking down groups of Huns, and then chasing and destroying them.

"We won."

Li Yunze, who was sitting on the horse, felt extremely calm and said, "The Huns, it's over."

After 20 years of preparation, Dahan has brought many advanced technologies, and what he is pursuing is this moment.

The Huns, who once regarded the big men as lambs, constantly invading them all the time, snatching away everything they could and taking away all living people, finally entered the countdown stage.

Li Yunze looked beyond the tragic battlefield where the mad fighting was taking place and looked towards the distant west.

"Wei Qing, work harder and destroy them in one battle!"

Thousands of miles away, at the edge of the vast sea, Wei Qing's troops were also fighting a decisive battle with Yizhi Xie's main force of the royal court.

Compared with Huo Qubing's cavalry clashing with cavalry, Wei Qing's tactics were strict and standard.

A large number of heavily armored infantry formed a formation, and the cavalry were arranged on both wings to support them. Behind them was a huge formation of boxes and trucks to protect logistics supplies, civilians and other personnel.

Yi Zhixian had a severe headache. Looking at the Han troops in the distance who were like steel monsters, he really didn't want to fight.

I originally thought that the infantry of the Han army were still mainly made of leather armor or extremely crude iron armor as they were many years ago, and could be easily manipulated by the light cavalry.

But I never thought that all the Han infantry had been completely updated with full-covered iron armor!
The fundamental attack power of the Huns' cavalry archery came from the sharp arrows shot by their cavalry bows.

If the sharp arrows can't do any damage, then the so-called harassment by riding and shooting will become a joke.

The Han army formed a formation and moved forward. You attacked and fired a hail of arrows, but unfortunately it had no effect.

The Han army still formed a formation and moved forward. At this time, they had no choice but to rush forward with their horses and break the formation.

But the Han army was fully armed and arrayed with spears in hand. How many warriors could ignore the life and death and rush into the rows of spears?

Yi Zhixie, who is illiterate, doesn't know what crushing the country's strength means, but he understands that this is unwinnable.

Logically speaking, if you can't win, you should run away.

But just look at the tens of thousands of cavalry on both sides of the Han army's formation, and you will know that the cavalry mobility that the Huns have always been proud of has lost its effect in front of the Han army.

As long as the escape mode is turned on and tens of thousands of cavalry are chasing you along the road, you will lose nine out of ten of your strength for some unknown reason!

No choice, really no choice.

The Huns could only bite the bullet and charge into battle.

The Huns who were attacking the military formation were riding in front of the formation, and when they were about to release arrows, dark clouds rose in the Han army's formation opposite.

Naturally, the Liannu was also equipped with infantry. The powerful Liannu flew over, and the Huns fell to the ground in pieces like cutting wheat.

Wei Qing has never been a defensive general, he is offensive.

When the Huns started to attack, he immediately ordered the cavalry of the Han army on the two wings to attack quickly, and directly surrounded by two wings, trying to eat up the main force of the Huns.

Yi Zhixie's side naturally assigned manpower to resist.

But just like Huo Qubing's side, the Huns' cavalry, which once had the upper hand, melted like snow in spring when they encountered the Han cavalry, and were defeated and defeated.

Yi Zhixie let out a long sigh. He couldn't figure out why the Han army was so powerful.

If I had known this, I would not have taken the position of the military minister Shanyu.

Seeing the Han army's cavalry sweeping in from the left and right flanks, Yi Zhixie could only hurriedly retreat with his men.

As for how many people can escape, it can only depend on God's will.

Wei Qing and Huo Qubing sent troops to Mobei in two groups, and both of them defeated the enemy in front of them with great force.

There were hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu young men captured in the formation, including hundreds of kings, generals, prime ministers, and household officials.

Theoretically speaking, the Battle of Mobei has wiped out the main force of the Huns.

The Huns, who had lost most of their young population, could basically be said to have perished.

Yet the war continued.

Wei Qing went straight to the court of Shanyu Wang at the foot of Xingai Mountain, and Huo Qubing even pursued King Zuo Xian's troops all the way to Langjuxu Mountain!
