I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 244 Breaking the Xiongnu, at this moment (two in one)

When Mo Dun heard that there were only a thousand people coming, he didn't take it seriously in his heart.

So what if there are 1000 troops, not to mention 1, if they are detected?

By slightly changing the direction of the army's attack, he can easily wipe it out.

In the end, the army that appeared was not the ambush of the Han people, but the army of King Youguli who stayed at Jingjing Pass?

Mao Dun lowered his head halfway, and in an instant, countless thoughts swirled in his mind.

What the hell is going on with this girl?
"Is the formation of those people coming here in order?" Mao Dun raised his head and asked the key point.

Zuo Gudu Hou thought about it for a while, and replied angrily: "It's very untidy, it's like a flock of sheep in a mess, and I don't know who is leading it. I will definitely be held accountable later."

Apparently it was Mo Dun who asked, and he noticed this unusual place.

Although the Xiongnu's army did not have a special formation when traveling like the Han army, they would never run in a mess. If they did not hunt and attack other tribes and other collective marching activities, wouldn't they be in a mess.

But the army that rushed over did not have the slightest order at all.

Maudun, whose expression had been calm all this time, quickened his tone and said, "How far are those 1000 people from us now?"

"Huh?" Zuo Guduhou noticed the change in Mao Dun, and said with a guilty conscience, "I was going to send people to surround and kill them before, but as soon as our people approached, they shouted their identities, After confirming, I found out that they were soldiers under the tent of King Youguli, so I asked someone to bring them to the army... it should have arrived by now."

Suddenly, Mao Dun felt his eyes darken.

It's over, it's over.

If they haven't entered your own army, then you can directly send people to kill them all without causing any riots.

Wait until these people enter the formation, then kill them...

If he is still confronting the Han army, the consequences can still be borne, but it is the critical moment of the war, so doing so is undoubtedly self-defeating.

He could only silently pray to Haotian from the bottom of his heart, hoping that those Huns who ran over would not bring the worst news and stop talking nonsense in the army.

As soon as he finished praying, Mao Dun opened his eyes and saw turmoil erupting in the army lineup behind.

"What's the situation?" Even though he had guessed in his heart, he couldn't help asking.

This is avoiding the answer. Not everyone is willing to face failure and fear, especially if they know the consequences.

Zuo Guduhou said in a trembling voice, "I'll go and have a look here."

"Go." Mo Dun half closed his eyes, he didn't look at Zuo Guduhou who was leaving, he knew that the worst had happened.

It's just that he couldn't figure out how King Youguli led 2 people to garrison Jingjing Pass and was defeated by the Han army.

In terms of time, he didn't even hold it for an hour.

Could it be that [-] Han army elites circled behind him?
This thought made Mouton shudder.

This is the fear brought about by the information gap, and even this is a two-way information gap, which is even more unsolvable.

In his cognition, if he let King Youguli lead [-] soldiers to garrison Jingjing Pass, there would be no problems in the rear. The need for timely feedback on the battle situation.

In King Youguli's view, the lack of news from the front line may be a hint in itself.

In addition, he waited for a long time, and it was the Han army who came to make a surprise attack, which undoubtedly proved his conjecture that the front line had been defeated.

With the idea of ​​protecting his own tribe, King Youguli did not choose to resist, and immediately ordered to retreat.

Then more than a thousand Huns were routed and driven to the front line. In Mao Dun's eyes, it looked different.

I'm afraid it wasn't that the main force of the [-] Han army went around behind him and cut off his retreat.

Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why King Youguli led 2 people to garrison Jingjing Pass, but was defeated so quickly.

Even if the soldiers of the Huns were not so good at defending the city, they had never defended the city, and they always attacked the city of the Han people.

All we need to do is follow suit and close the city gate, then huddle on the city wall and shoot arrows, right?
Mao Dun's mind was in a mess, and when he saw Zuo Gudu Hou, he rode his horse in a panic.

As soon as he got close to him, he shouted: "Your Majesty, Jingjing Pass has been lost. King Youguli did not stop them. If we cannot defeat the Han troops in front of us, we cannot retreat. What should we do?" "

"Why are you panicking? Does this little situation make you scared? There are more than [-] Han people in front of us, not more than [-] wolves, let alone more than [-] tigers. It is not worth your fear. Remember to hold your hand The bow on the bow." Mao Dun glanced at Zuo Guduhou, and said calmly.

In such a situation, anyone can panic, anyone can be afraid, but you can't.

If there is panic on his face, the entire army will be affected, and the morale of the army will inevitably collapse.

"Your Majesty has taught you a lesson." Hearing Shan Yu's slightly accusatory words, Zuo Gudu gradually felt at ease, and couldn't help exerting more strength on his right hand holding the longbow, "What should we do next?"

Mao Dun's calmness is only on the surface, in fact, his heart has already set off turbulent waves.

Therefore, when he heard his subordinates inquiring about the specific handling method, he fell into hesitation and couldn't make up his mind for a while.

After a while, he stared at the situation on the battlefield ahead, and slowly said: "Let the cavalry of King Youxian and King Zuoguli begin to retreat northward, and King Zuoxian's troops stand in front, so that the Han army thinks that we are going to take turns to attack. .

When the cavalry of King Youxian and King Zuoguli leave the battlefield, you will lead the cavalry under my tent to feign a frontal attack to scare the Han people and prevent them from discovering our weakness.

Since those Han people have cut off the back of us, then we can go to other places to leave. Is there any place in the world that our Great Xia iron cavalry can't go to? "

Looking at the confident Mao Dun, Zuo Guduhou said reverently: "The supreme king of Great Xia who is surrounded by the sun and the moon and protected by Haotian, I will follow your command and make the Han people submit to fear."

Looking at the back of Zuo Guduhou leaving, Mao Dun's eyes finally showed distress, and while rubbing the center of his brows, he let out a long sigh.

The arrangements he made just now were actually too hasty. For example, quickly withdrawing the Youxian King's troops who were the main attackers would create a large gap on the battlefield. He could only hope that the Han army would be forced to do so. We dare not take the opportunity to attack due to our previous power.

Mao Dun knew that there were many loopholes in his arrangement, but he couldn't help it.

Jingjing Pass was captured behind him, even if there were no [-] Han troops there, there would always be [-] to [-].

After the Han army has finished forming, they send 6 to [-] people to press up, forming a situation of two sides sandwiching, and it will be difficult for them to escape.

So everything I did was just a race against time.

After all, the Huns' cavalry were mobile, and before the opponent's encirclement was completed, they could take the opportunity to move out of the encirclement, and when they entered a safe territory, they must quickly withdraw to the grassland.

……

As for the Han army.

The soldiers held their shields high and looked in all directions, guarding against the arrows fired by the Huns. Compared with the frontal charge of the opponent, these sudden arrows were more difficult to guard against.

For this reason, basically every five people will be equipped with one person to hold a large shield.

The rest were armed with long spears or daggers, and when the Hun cavalry approached, they stabbed out from behind the shield, mainly attacking the opponent's horseshoe, causing the opponent to fall off the horse.

The cavalry in the Han army will only attack at critical times. It is a precious resource. In most cases, it will remain stationary and is in a state of recharging its strength. Only at critical moments will it take the initiative to attack and fight with the Huns cavalry. .

Generally, when the soldiers fighting in front are in rotation, they will go up and repel the Huns who want to take advantage of the loopholes.

We must know that the strategy of soldier rotation is the guarantee that the Han army has sufficient combat power.

Their formation was not spread out very large, and the front that was really close to the Huns was only the outermost circle.

Under such circumstances, the soldiers who rotated to fight would not be too tired. Often before the threshold was reached, they would be called back to let the energetic soldiers take the top.

It is not easy to do this.

After all, if there is a slight mistake, the formation will be scattered, the defense line will be broken, and the enemy will take the opportunity to attack, so Han Xin dares to play like this.

He can deploy without any mistakes, and his generals execute step by step, so the current Han army is extremely stable.

If such an army wants to collapse quickly, there is only one possibility, that is, as the coach, Han Xin has a physical problem and cannot hold on, and then Zhou Bo and others in the periphery are delayed and cannot take over the command.

As for the Xiongnu wanting to win from the front, unless the soldiers replaced by the Han army recover their state, they will wear out the state of a new round of soldiers, and then exhaust the energy of the Han army as a whole bit by bit.

However, the soldiers of the Han army fighting on the front line at this time felt that the pressure from the Huns had suddenly decreased.

The feeling of the soldiers fighting at the front is the most intuitive.

After all, the commander-in-chief of the army and the generals leading the troops need to make judgments based on the casualties of the soldiers, the number of arrows consumed, and the state of the formation maintenance.

When the soldiers passed the arrows fired from the opposite side, they could loudly taunt their colleagues, "The barbarian dog has not eaten yet, and the grassland is still poor. At this time, all the arrows have been shot."

Of course, the feedback the soldiers receive is both immediate and blind. In many cases, the enemy's trick to lure them out is successful because of this.

At the back of the middle of the Han army's formation, there is a small hill, which is also where the commander's tent is located.

At this time, Han Xin tapped the long sword at his waist with his fingers, and said to himself in a low voice: "The Huns moved the cavalry from the east and south to the north on a large scale. Did they want to use the north of our army as a breakthrough point?

The Xiongnu have accumulated too many people on one front, and there will be too many redundant troops. If they cannot be fully deployed, the effect will decrease instead, and the threat to our army will decrease instead. Maodun will not do this.

Then he concentrates his forces in the north..."

He frowned, hesitantly.

"Then there is only one possibility, that is, the army led by Jiang Ning and Fan Kui was able to break through the Jingjing Pass so quickly. And this news has been sent to the headquarters of the Huns fighting on the front line, causing them to panic."

If this was the case, the speed was beyond Han Xin's expectations.

But apart from such unexpected joy, there is no other reason to explain why the Xiongnu's movements are so strange.

"They want to withdraw their troops." Han Xin continued to observe the changes on the front line for nearly a quarter of an hour, and made a decisive judgment.

The staff officers who were chattering and having various discussions around him all raised their heads blankly in confusion upon hearing this, thinking that they had heard wrongly.

"General, do you mean that the Huns are planning to withdraw their troops?" Someone spoke out to confirm.

Han Xin nodded slightly and admitted: "I think so."

The staff officers were silent.

Although the Xiongnu army's attack has not achieved any results so far, it would be too arbitrary to say that they are about to withdraw.

It is not uncommon for a war of this scale to last for three days and three nights, and it is even possible to face off for ten days.

Could it be that the Huns were so impatient that they were ready to leave after fighting for two hours?

But no one questioned this judgment, because this "arbitrary" conclusion was made by Han Xin.

As staff officers under Han Xin's command, they rarely have the opportunity to make suggestions. After all, Han Xin has thought of the strategies he thought of, and Han Xin has thought of the strategies he didn't think of, and even said he didn't understand the strategy. It is because the level is not as high as Han Xin.

At most, they help read maps, pass orders down, and handle trivial matters such as the movement of grain and grass.

So Han Xin said "the Huns will withdraw", and they began to wait for the next order.

As for whether to chase or let go, they only need to obey and not interfere with Han Xin's judgment.

After a while, Han Xin said calmly: "This is the time to defeat the Huns.

After the order was passed, the cavalry and chariot soldiers all pressed forward to attack, and the infantry in the northwest changed into an offensive formation, ready to attack at any time.

In addition, a few days ago, I asked you to find those who can speak the Hun language, and let them shout, 'Your retreat has been cut off, if you don't escape, you will die here'.

Hmm...the voices of those few people were not loud enough for the soldiers to follow suit. "

"Wei." Everyone's eyes were filled with excitement. After bowing their hands and saluting, they trotted away from the camp and passed on Han Xin's instructions.

They didn't expect that the battle situation would change so much faster than they imagined.

The charge of the Huns cavalry lacked structure, but the individual combat power was fierce. After entering the stalemate stage, it seemed that it would take a long time to determine the final winner.

"The general's order, to defeat the Xiongnu, is now! Please, general..." They excitedly conveyed Han Xin's instructions to the army formations in all directions, and did not forget to add the most inspiring words at the beginning.

On the hillside, only Han Xin and a few personal guards were left. He turned his back and squinted his eyes with emotion: "This is the time to defeat the Xiongnu."
