Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 461 Defeating the Barbarians and Destroying the Huns ([-])

"Excuse me, King You Xian, how should we fight this battle?" Captain You asked.

His question was exactly what the generals thought in their hearts, and they all said together: "Yes, please also ask You Xianwang to show me."

King Youxian didn't answer right away, but picked up a bowl of kumiss, gulped it up, put down the bowl and wiped his mouth, and then said proudly, "Do you know why I withdrew the army?"

The generals did not understand this question.At the beginning of the war, King Youxian's troops were not far from the Qin army. All the generals called for the battle, but King Youxian refused and ordered the army to retreat.

King Youxian glanced at the generals, and was even more proud when he saw the confused appearance of the generals. He asked himself and replied, "That's because I want to drag the Qin army down. The Qin army is well equipped and has a large number of people. We have rich combat experience, and these are not comparable to us. If we fight against the Qin army near the Qin border, it will be tantamount to a dead end. I will not be so stupid. I will withdraw the army, It is to ask Qin Jun to follow our buttocks and drag Qin Jun's fat camel alive so that he can launch a decisive battle at the most favorable time and defeat Qin Jun in one fell swoop."

All the generals suddenly realized, and said in unison: "So that's the case! It's still the right wise king!"

Needless to say, under the circumstances at that time, King Youxian was right to adopt this strategy. However, he miscalculated a problem, that is, the Qin army was very well prepared. Zhou Chong knew that Huo Qubing in history traveled more than two thousand miles to find The main force of King Youxian fought a decisive battle, almost completely annihilating the main force of King Youxian.

If King You Xian retreats and implements the tactics of leading the cow, the Qin army is likely to suffer undue losses due to lack of preparation. Therefore, Zhou Chong suggested that Fusu be as fully prepared as possible, with the goal of marching [-] miles Get ready.

King Youxian continued: "Now, the Qin army led us by the nose and ran for two thousand miles. Even the fattest camels are already exhausted. The time for a decisive battle has come."

"Yes! On the prairie, we Huns are the kings of the prairie!" All the generals echoed endlessly.

King Youxian stood up abruptly, drew his sword out of its sheath, and said: "You all must remember: when the two armies face each other, you attack immediately, and don't let the Qin army catch their breath!"

"Obey!" The generals took orders.

King You Xian held a saber in his hand and strode out.After leaving the camp, he flew on his horse, shouted: "Kill!" and galloped away.All the generals got on their horses and led their troops to line up.

Looking at the Xiongnu army marching in neat formation, Fusu chuckled and said, "Mr. Zhou really hit the mark, King You Xian really led us by the nose and ran for two thousand miles. We won't look back. It's a decisive battle."

Meng Tian laughed and said: "He thought that we would be very tired after marching two thousand miles. According to common sense, no matter how strong an army marched two thousand miles, it would collapse. But he forgot that we are the army of Great Qin, and we are invincible and invincible. , wanting to drag us down, thinking beautifully, I think he will be the first to break down after running."

Wang Ben chuckled and said, "Each of our cavalry has four horses and camels to transport supplies. Let alone marching two thousand miles, even three thousand miles is no problem. Mr. Zhou's forecast is very accurate. Worried about marching for a long time without being able to get effective supplies, once Mr. Zhou came up with the idea, wouldn't this be resolved?"

Zhou Chong knew very well that in the "Decisive Battle of Mobei" launched by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a total of 14 elite cavalry were dispatched, and 30 official horses were invested. horses.There are also 50 infantry transporting supplies to ensure the supply of cavalry.With such a strong logistical guarantee, the unprecedented "Mobei decisive battle" in Chinese history planned by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty won the victory. The main force of the Huns was completely lost in this battle, and the Huns never recovered. the road to division.

After calculation, Zhou Chong came to the conclusion that the current Xiongnu is far inferior to the Xiongnu in the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It can be completely defeated with less than [-] cavalry, and almost [-] cavalry.Therefore, before the expedition, the two armies conducted a screening, especially the cavalry.

In order to ensure the supply of the [-] cavalry, all the horses were given to them, so each cavalry had four horses to follow up with supplies.With these horses, there will be no problem with the supply of [-] cavalry, not to mention running two thousand miles, even another two thousand miles will not be a problem.

The guarantee of ancient wars was mainly food and arrows. Cold weapons were easy to carry and did not consume much. Unlike modern wars, where ammunition is insufficient, there is no need to fight. It is not difficult at all to guarantee [-] cavalry.

Zhou Chongqian said: "You guys are overwhelmed. I just did an arithmetic problem and calculated these materials. Do you need such praise?"

Fu Su joked: "We are not praising Mr. Zhou, we are praising the man who does arithmetic, he is too good at calculation, if we don't praise him, we will not succeed."

"That's right!" Meng Tian and Wang Ben agreed.

Fusu's face was serious, and he said: "Get ready to go to war! You must remember that we must wipe out all of them, and never let a single Xiongnu escape!"

Zhou Chong, Meng Tian and Wang Ben took orders.

The scimitar in King Youxian's hand pointed forward, and the Huns cavalry shouted and began to charge.What greeted them was a rain of arrows dense like a spider's web. Under the blow of the crossbow, the Huns cavalry threw corpses all over the ground.

According to King Youxian's thinking, the Qin army is exhausted now, that is to say, the Liannu is powerful. As long as they charge close, the battle will be won, so they are not moved at all and continue to order the charge. The raindrops of arrows rushed desperately.

After paying a huge price, the Huns cavalry finally rushed to the front of the Qin army.As soon as Fusu ordered the flag to be unfurled, the cavalry of the Qin army rushed out, and the two armies began to fight hand to hand.Qin Jun was tall and tall, all of them were like dragons and tigers. They were skilled in swordsmanship and agile. They looked like they had marched for more than 2000 miles. King Youxian was stunned and muttered: "What's the matter? Why don't they Are you not tired?"

Youxian King's murmurs were not over yet, the sound of killing from behind was loud, Meng Tian and Wang Ben led the cavalry to kill from behind, and made Youxian King dumplings.

For King Youxian, there were two things he didn't expect in this battle. One was that the Qin army was as exhausted as he imagined, and the other was that the Qin army adopted the tactics of encircling him first, and then dividing them. Break down one by one.When he figured it out, his army had been dismembered into several pieces, and the Qin army was concentrating its superior forces to wipe them out one by one.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, King Youxian wanted to run away. However, the sky failed to fulfill his wish, and a stream arrow flew towards his forehead, and King Youxian screamed and fell off his horse.

In history, Huo Qubing used 1 elite cavalry to face the 2000 cavalry of Shangyou Xianwang. As a result, less than [-] of Youxian Wang's troops escaped, and the loss was exhausted.And history repeats, in the battle planned by Zhou Chong, the Qin army used [-] elite cavalry to face the [-] cavalry of Shangyou Wise King, and less than [-] Hun cavalry escaped.
