A thousand-year-old family that began with the Battle of Makino

Chapter 151 The power of Han cavalry is mysterious

After Bai Wei and others finished disposing of the garbage, they rested in place for three days and received an order from the Han Emperor. They said that the remnant Xiongnu army was now gathered in the northwest of Loufan County, Yanmen County. They asked Bai Wei's army to gather forces and advance quickly to catch the Xiongnu off guard.

Bai Wei and others listened to the order, gathered the soldiers all night, started cooking at the third watch, and set out at the fifth watch. The whole army only carried three days of dry food and marched all the way to Loufan.

That night, 50,000 Han riders crossed Juzhu Mountain. On the afternoon of the next day, the Han riders were only thirty miles away from Loufan.

"Xu~"

Bai Wei reined in his horse, and all the Han cavalry behind him stopped.

"This general orders the entire army to rest. After sunset, the chief camp will be laid to rest!"

"Order!"

"Send the order, the sentries are sent ten miles away and are not allowed to come into contact with the Xiongnu sentries. However, if the Xiongnu sentries dare to come closer than five miles, no one can be let go!"

"Order!"

"Order the logistics officer to prepare kerosene and torches and bring them to each soldier."

"Order!"

···
After giving the military order, Bai Wei patted Xia Houying and said, "Are you ready?"

Xia Houying licked his lips and said with a smile, "General, I can't wait any longer!"

Bai Wei smiled and said no more, just feeding the horse fodder and closing his eyes to rest.

It was night, and the Golden Crow had fallen into Tang Valley for an hour.

Bai Wei opened his eyes, and a ray of light emanated from them. He stood up and said, "Give me the order. All the troops mount their horses and march slowly to the enemy camp five miles away!"

"Bai Yu, I want you to lead the Bai family army to kill all the Xiongnu sentries. Can you do it?"

"Father, oh no, general, don't worry, we will make the Huns blind and deaf." A young man who looked similar to Bai Wei replied respectfully.

"Go!"

"Order!"

Bai Yu got on his horse, came to a group of relatively elite cavalry, and said loudly: "According to the general's order, the Bai family's iron cavalry will follow me to cut down the Xiongnu sentry cavalry. Come with me!"

After speaking, he pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and headed towards the Xiongnu camp. Three thousand Bai's cavalry followed silently.

Soon, the Huns sentries wandering in the wilderness were harvested by the sudden death. Although the Huns had superb riding skills, the Bai's iron cavalry, which had been trained, trained and tempered for several years, was not a vegetarian.

Perhaps when fighting directly opposite, the Huns' cavalry could rely on their superb riding skills and precise riding and shooting to drag the Bai's cavalry to death, but when it came to charging into battle, the Bai's cavalry could eclipse the Huns' cavalry by a few blocks.

After the Handan Banquet and the Han-Bai peace treaty, the Bai family was deprived of military power, but the Bai family retained a large number of grassroots officers and veterans of the army, forming 5,000 Bai family cavalry. Now the Bai family cavalry has replaced The White Guards have become the most elite armed force of the Bai family, and the White Guards have been completely reduced to the family head's personal guards, and even the establishment is only 500.

In order to maintain their power, the Han cavalry traveled slowly for two hours. Under the protection of Bai's cavalry, the Han cavalry arrived two miles away from the Xiongnu camp without any danger. Because Bai's cavalry was so powerful that it was better than before. The five miles went forward three miles, which was a surprise to Bai Wei.

"Sure enough, he is a general's son. Your son is quite qualified as a general!" Xia Houying sighed.

Bai Wei smiled and said: "It was all his own efforts. I didn't care much about him. He accepted His Majesty's call this time, so he came out from his ancestral land to find me and wanted to go out with me. I saw that his martial arts skills were good, so I took him with me. Come see the blood and laugh!"

After chatting for a while, Bai Wei estimated that the army was almost in repair and decisively ordered to charge into camp.

The fifty thousand Han cavalry gradually increased their speed, and their voices gradually became louder.

At this time, most of the Xiongnu soldiers in the Xiongnu camp have fallen asleep. It has only been two days since they arrived here yesterday. Besides, the Han people are famous for their infantry. By the time they arrive, it will probably be five days later, so the Xiongnu generals will Not much defensiveness.

The Hun soldiers who were on duty suddenly pricked up their ears. This sound was all too familiar to them who had lived in the grasslands all year round. It was the sound of ten thousand horses galloping. But now in Han Dynasty, there is no such thing as ten thousand wild horses galloping. Then there is only one result:
"Enemy attack!~"

"The Han people are coming! The Han people are coming!~"

"Woooo~" the unique horn sound of the Xiongnu sounded.

The elite cavalry from the Han army arrived in front of the Xiongnu camp before the rest of the army. They threw out the nooses in their hands and tied them to the simple fence of the Xiongnu camp. Then they turned the horses' heads, clamped the horse's belly, and relied on the horse. With his strength, he successfully pulled down a section of the fence on one side of the enemy camp.

The army behind them followed closely and filed in through the gap.

Killing people on sight and burning large tents on sight. At this time, the Han soldiers hated these Huns very much, because they saw countless tragic scenes on the way here yesterday. They finally understood why the general wanted to The rebels who surrendered to the Huns were burned and killed.

With hatred for the Huns, the Han cavalry was very powerful. Their mentality at this time was to kill all the Huns they saw and avenge their compatriots in the north.

Just when the Xiongnu nobles wanted to gather their soldiers to resist, Bai Wei would appear in time, take away the heads of the Xiongnu nobles, and kill the Huns who had finally gathered.

Seeing that something was wrong, the wise kings on the left and right of the Xiongnu quickly led their tribes to flee towards Daijun. In this way, 200,000 Xiongnu cavalry were defeated by 50,000 Han cavalry led by Bai Wei.

King Youxian of the Xiongnu was leading more than 10,000 Xiongnu cavalry from his tribe to join the 20,000 to 30,000 cavalry under King Zuoxian and rushed towards Daijun. Suddenly, a group of Han cavalry rushed out from the side.

It was the Bai family army led by Bai Yu who was cleaning up the sentry cavalry in the periphery. The Bai family army was like tigers descending from the mountain, constantly tearing apart this group of nomads who had no leather armor and only had daggers and bows and arrows. Although they were born on horseback, they were still killed by special forces. The farming people killed wantonly.

The wise kings on the left and right of the Xiongnu were very alarmed, and they agreed to escape separately.

Bai Yu saw them dividing their forces and didn't know who to chase. Suddenly he saw the Huns running to the right from a distance. One of them had something on his body, which shone under the moonlight and torches. Looking carefully, he saw the people around him. They seemed to be protecting him.

"This is a big fish." Bai Yu no longer hesitated, clapped his horse and chased to the right.

Soon, Bai Yu caught up. With his superb martial arts and specially trained riding skills, Bai Yu flew out with a long shot, piercing the chest of the enemy chief. He fell off the horse after a few steps under the jolt of the horse. , several Huns still wanted to snatch the corpse, but Bai Yu killed them all with a bronze sword.

Bai Yu jumped off his horse and took a closer look. It turned out that the shining thing was the golden belt on the enemy chief. He grabbed a captive Huns. After being tortured and interrogated, he finally found out that this was the Youxian King of the Huns, who was equivalent to the princes of the Han Dynasty. king.

Bai Yu was very happy and asked people to put the corpses on horses and move them back. At the same time, he ordered that all the Huns be killed. Someone asked where was the Huns who were asked just now? The Major General promised not to kill him!

Bai Yu glanced at the man angrily and said, "Did I kill him? Didn't you kill him? It's none of my business. I didn't say I wanted to save him."

After saying that, he ignored the man, patted his horse and walked back.

The Bai Jiajun next to him all laughed, and the people passing by smiled and patted him on the shoulder. The man was a little shocked, and turned his head to look at the Huns prisoner, getting more and more angry. In the frightened eyes of the Huns, he killed him with a sword, and then Quickly catch up with the team.

Bai Wei was counting the losses and dealing with the funeral affairs. Bai Yu suddenly came in and said excitedly: "Father, I killed a big fish!"

"Oh?"

"He is the Righteous King of the Xiongnu!"

Bai Wei smiled and said, "Really? That deserves your happiness!"

Seeing Bai Yu's excitement, Bai Wei said, "Are you satisfied?"

Bai Yu smiled and said: "I am satisfied! Why are you not satisfied? This is King Youxian! He is equivalent to the princes and kings of my Han Dynasty!"

"Now that you are satisfied, go back and study hard!"

Bai Yu was stunned and said: "Go back? Why?"

"You are so satisfied, what's the point of staying here anymore? Why not go back and make a place for your brothers and sisters to make contributions!"

"No, I'm not satisfied yet, I won't go back!"

Bai Wei suddenly said seriously: "That's right. What does a little Youxian King have to show off? If you capture the Xiongnu Chanyu, you can protect the peace of the people in the north and no longer suffer from the Xiongnu invasion. That is the great hero.

First, if you are just satisfied with this military exploit, I can be sure that you will not have any great achievements in the future, or even lose the war because of your pride. Remember, arrogant soldiers will be defeated, and the same will be true for arrogant generals. Don’t be immersed in it. In the midst of military exploits, you should take pride in protecting the country and the people, remember? "

"Kid, remember this."

Bai Wei nodded and said: "Go ahead and tell the officials who record your military exploits. What's yours is yours."

Bai Yu was very happy, but it was different from the happiness just now. This time he seemed very restrained.

Seeing this, Bai Wei touched his chin, which had grown a lot of beard, and said, "You can teach a kid!"

Bai Wei led his army to defeat the 200,000 Xiongnu army. The Xiongnu army was defeated and fled towards Daijun. In this battle, more than 70,000 Xiongnu were beheaded and no prisoners were taken. He also captured the Xiongnu Right King, Zuo General, and several Xiongnu from Zuo Danghu. High-ranking nobles.

The Han Emperor was very happy and ordered the entire army to pursue the victory.

The Han army kept pursuing them all the way, and the Huns kept fleeing. Because the Huns were fast, the Han army could only keep chasing them, but could not catch them.

February 15th

The outpost troops sent by the Han Emperor discovered that the Xiongnu Great Chanyu Maodun was stationed in Daigu. His camp stretched for twenty miles to supervise the army's operations.

Emperor Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty was also supervising the war in Jinyang. Hearing that he was not far from Maodun, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty kept sending envoys to question him. In addition to performing diplomatic procedures and testing whether there could be some relaxation, more importantly, he wanted to find out the opponent's true and false situation.

When the Han Dynasty envoys came to the territory of the Xiongnu, Mao Dun followed the strategy of a defected Han counselor and hid strong warriors, fat horses, cattle and sheep, so that all the Han envoys saw were old men. Weak young, and some animals so weak that their ribs can be seen.

What kind of person the Han Emperor was, he was also known as an old fox, so he sent many groups of envoys one after another. Before leaving, he told them to pay attention to find out the true situation of the Xiongnu.

But the result was that every envoy's answer was the same. They all said that the Xiongnu were extremely weak after the defeat at Loufan. The continuous twenty-mile tent was all to confuse Your Majesty. Attacking the Xiongnu now is exactly the reason. The best time, otherwise it would be difficult to fight when the Xiongnu reinforcements arrive.

The Han Emperor was still a little worried and sent Liu Jing as an envoy to the Xiongnu. Liu Jing's original name was Lou Jing. He was given the surname Liu because he persuaded the Han Emperor to move the capital to Guanzhong. When Liu Jing went to the Xiongnu, he saw that it was exactly the same as what the envoys reported back. When he returned to Jinyang, Liu Jing immediately went to meet him. Meet Emperor Han.
