Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 2529 Some people are short-sighted and some are concerned about the future

  The land of large ravines in the northeast direction is a typical hilly fold area. Faults and ditches have become the mainstream of this area, and the roads also twist and turn, with twists and turns, deep and dangerous, and sometimes strong winds howl through the cracks in the mountains and rocks.

The smooth rocks and rugged mountain roads are not suitable for horse racing, and even riding on a horse is dangerous. If you are not careful, you may step on some gravel, lose your center of gravity and fall down the hillside, or even fall into the valley. If you are lucky enough not to die, you will break your arms and legs...

  Ding odd people are staring at this ravine. .

  He is waiting for the smoke.

  The civilization inheritance of the Ding Ling people is very fragile, so fragile that there is almost no connection between the tribes. What one tribe understands, another tribe may be confused. Moreover, when most tribal leaders take the position of leader, what they think of is not knowledge, not spiritual and cultural development, but just the population of cattle and sheep, and personal wealth.

  Therefore, the only way Ding Lingren can transmit information now is the one-way wolf smoke.

  Ding Lingtou people have to rely on the smoke rising from the other side of the big ravine to determine the signal to attack.

  Until the smoke of the wolf rose from the big ravine, Ding Lingtou let out a long breath, and then a look of joy appeared on his face, and he turned his head and shouted: "The Han people have been tricked!" 』

"Oooo…"

  『The Han people have been tricked, they have been tricked! 』

   Chaotic cheers resounded under Huangya Ridge.

  『Boys! Get on the horse! Let's kill it! Kill the Han dog! Ding Lingtou roared loudly, waving his arms, as if in front of him was a Han general, and he was about to hack the Han general to death, "Kill these Han, and we can go to Yinshan Mountain!" Cattle, sheep, grain, and cloth are all ours! our! 』

  『Ooooooh! 』

   There was another burst of cheers, and then under the leadership of Ding Lingtou, they began to mount their horses, brandishing knives and guns, and prepared to attack the rear of the Han army.

   No one is born to fight.

The reason why future generations will not do the stupid things of the predecessors and become more and more intelligent is not because the later generations are smarter than the predecessors, but because the predecessors record the losses and pains of the past, so that Future generations will not repeat the same mistakes.

   This group of Ding Ling people obviously did not have this inheritance, so they never thought that the Han people might use their tricks.

  In the big ravine, a Han army marquis said with a smile: "This group of fools really obey the command... the whole army stops and forms up!" 』

The Han people did attack the big gully, and it was true that Dingling people had to dismount and fight on foot due to the topography of the big gully, but Dingling people did not expect that the Han people only advanced a part, which put a certain amount of pressure on the Dingling people After that, as soon as he saw the rising smoke of the wolf, he stopped and began to form an array at a high place, an array composed of 300 people, with shields outside and bows and crossbows inside. Those in the front held divination halberds and long spears on small cavalry shields, while those in the back began to prepare bows and arrows.

  The Marquis was swimming among the gaps in the array, reminding him from time to time, and finally stood in the array, shouting: "Waiting, the meat will be delivered to your door, how much you eat depends on your ability!" 』

   There was laughter from the Han soldiers in the formation, as if what was about to usher was not a battle, but an outing.

   Facing the stop of the attack by the Han people, they found a high place to form an formation on the spot. The Dingling branch, which was used as a bait in the big ravine, looked at each other in blank dismay, a little at a loss.

  The task of the Dingling bait is to lure the Han people into the gully, use natural obstacles to limit the role of the Han cavalry, and then raid the rear of the Han people from Huangya Ridge, causing the Han people to be chaotic and then hunt and harvest.

   Unexpectedly, the Han people stopped chasing him!

  『Cunning Han people...Damn, damn! 』Facing the turmoil of his subordinates, the small commander of the Ding Lingren branch was somewhat anxious. The actions of the Han people caught them off guard. If they cannot lead most of the Han people into the ravine, then it is equivalent to failing to achieve an effective strategy. Tactical layout.

And the little commander is also very clear that the equipment of the Han people is much better than that of the Dingling people, so they fight directly face to face, and the cavalry is not as good as the Dingling people, so the little commander let out a howl, with The pawns turned around and attacked the Han formation!

   Just a little more lure, just a little more...

  『Bows and arrows are ready...』Han Junhou roared.

  The soldiers on the inside of the army lined up the horn bows in their hands with arrows, raised them high, and failed to shoot!

   They are waiting for follow-up orders.

   Three hundred steps, two hundred steps, one hundred steps.

"wind! Gale! 』

  『Boom, boom boom...』

  Following the command of the military marquis, the bowstring trembled slightly, and the arrows on it whistled out. The arrow drew an arc and landed on the not-so-wide hillside, like a burst of sharp hailstones.

   The wailing sounded again and again, Ding Lingren's poor armor was in front of the arrows, even if it was just thrown, it was powerless to resist, and the arrows pierced through the skin, blood spattered everywhere!

Before the Dingling people had time to get close to the Han army formation, they were hit by arrows and fell down a large area. Some Dingling people were stunned for a while, not knowing what to do. Seeing the tragic casualties of their teammates, their hands and feet became stiff, On the one hand, they heard the orders from the little commander who kept urging them, and on the other hand, they also had the instinctive fear of death, but these little people who stayed in place or retreated did not usher in life, but waited for the next wave of arrow rain …

  『Steady! Stay ahead! 』

  As Ding Ling approached, a new command was issued from the Han army formation, "Prepare to strike!" 』

   Immediately, the halberds and spears, swords and shields stood up like a hedgehog opening all its spikes!

  Looking at the approaching Han army armor formation, the Dingling people showed fear, because they felt that they were not going to fight the Han people, but they were about to bump into a copper wall and an iron wall!

  The key point is that the iron wall is still covered with sharp thorns, a slight touch will cause blood to spurt, missing arms and legs!

   The Dingling who rushed to the front waved their sabers indiscriminately, unwilling to get too close to the Han army formation, but he was pushed to the iron wall by the follow-up Dingling little by little!

   When the knife and gun were pierced into his body, he roared, screaming in pain, the tears on his face mixed with blood flowed down...

  He regretted it, regretted why he was so honest, so stupid, and so loyal to obey orders...

  The loyal and honest Dingling died, but the sneaky Dingling survived.

  Seeing the death of a large row of Dingling people in the front, the rest have no fighting spirit, no matter how angry the small Dingling commander behind them is, they just don’t go up, and some people have even started to retreat slowly...

  As soon as the two sides came into contact, the situation of the battle was already one-sided.

  The Dingling people with almost no protection screamed and fell down, like wheat cut down by a sickle.

  The sharp iron spear and iron halberd pierced the barbarian's body directly, piercing blood holes, and then pulled it back mercilessly. The shiny spear tip was dyed red, and then stabbed forward again!

  The pawns holding the ring-shoulders always couldn’t reach the people, loudly yelling at Pao Ze beside him to move slowly, to save some for himself...

  The Ding Lingren branch in the big ravine, fought but couldn't fight, retreated and no one chased, and suffered a crushing defeat.

  The main force of Ding Ling on the other side also suffered a disastrous defeat.

  Before in the desert, the impression left by the Huns on the Dingling people was too far away, so that in their memory, the Xianbei people were invincible.

After the split of the Xianbei people, first Kebi was able to be defeated, and then Budugen died. Although the Xianbei people also repeated themselves at one time, they were ambushed by the Han cavalry, and the Dingling people took the opportunity to seize the Xianbei people. Then he can inherit Xianbei's mantle and become the boss of the desert.

  The series of battles that took place in Yuyang, Youzhou, may only be regarded as a small part of the entire series of conflicts in the Northern Territory of the Han Dynasty, but this part has brought great harm to Ding Lingren.

  Having suffered losses in natural disasters, and failed to gain benefits in foreign wars, Ding Lingren's heart collapsed very seriously...

It's a pity that the backward cultural heritage, poor military skills, and even an ineffective message transmission system have caused a huge cognitive error between the tribes of the Dingling people. Some people think that they cannot beat the Han people, and they are afraid to avoid It's not as good as it is, but some people feel that what others say is too exaggerated. How can the Han people be so powerful?

   It's like the Ding Lingtou who came to attack Yinshan this time.

  He will never understand why his plan was discovered.

  He didn't even understand why the "poisonous water" he arranged along the way failed to weaken the combat effectiveness of the Han Chinese cavalry.

  He doesn't even understand that the world is changing too fast...

   It’s like Ding Lingtou expressing confidence, ability, and vowing to defeat the Han people, but the Han people today are not what they were a hundred years ago, or more than ten years ago.

After General Hussars acquired the two major horse breeding lands in Yinshan and Longyou, he also won the surrender of nomadic tribes such as the Southern Huns, Eastern Qiang and Western Qiang, which made the horse breeding places, war horse breeding, and selection of war horse breeds all obtained. Great improvement.

  Many Hu people who surrendered to the Han even joined the cavalry ranks of the Han cavalry as vassals, which further enhanced the cavalry skills of the Han cavalry, coupled with elite soldiers and excellent generals to command...

Moreover, the Han army is still versatile. It can be used as infantry with a shield when dismounted, and it can be used as a formation breaker when put on heavy armor. On the side of the military defense facilities, there are combat forces that can directly crush the barbarians.

  The battlefield chosen by Ding Lingren is actually quite good. On the left is Huangya Ridge, on the right is a large ravine, and in the middle is a flat land suitable for cavalry battles. But when Ding Lingren himself was the target of attack, tragedy naturally struck.

  After Ding Lingren’s attack failed on the other side, and the large army he led was intercepted by Li Dian, Ding Lingtou realized that not only did he fail to design the Han army, but he fell into the trap of the Han army...

  As for the Han Chinese cavalry, I really want to thank the Dingling people for their full cooperation and conducted a real cavalry drill and actual combat...

The two army Sima strangled separately, one from the left and the other from the right, cutting Ding Lingren into three parts, and the two army Sima also had the idea of ​​competing with each other, with spears in their hands. Crashed into the sloppy queue of Dingling people!

At the moment of rushing into the formation, when the spears in their hands hit the first Dingling cavalry, the two army commanders let go of their hands instantly as if they were standard actions, and then immediately pulled out the sabers at their waists, and slashed at the crossing cavalry. Dingling cavalry.

The Han Chinese cavalry behind the army Sima also did the same action one after another. Some of them crooked and almost fell off their horses because of the wrong timing of letting go. There is also a chance to regain your focus.

Ding Lingren was obviously not so lucky. He lost his center of gravity after being hit slightly, and fell off his horse like a dumpling. Ming, I don't know whether it is whining or calling for its owner.

  As long as you fall off your horse in the chaos, you will basically be trampled by the mounts of both sides. The death and injury are even more tragic than dying under the sword of the opponent!

The equipment of saddles and stirrups gave the Han Chinese cavalry an advantage in this aspect. On the other hand, when fighting each other, the cavalry charged at high speed against high speed. Whoever stopped would be near death. There is no situation where there are tens of hundreds of rounds of fighting against each other like in movies and TV.

  The cavalry used the impact of the horses, and there was always the next opponent in front of them. The swords and guns kept roaring, and all they could do was block, counterattack, and slash almost instinctively!

Han people slashed Dingling people, and blood spattered everywhere when they cut down Dingling people, while Dingling people slashed Han people, and when they slashed with a knife, most of the time, only sparks splashed and jingling sounded. Cut off the silk sash!

  The torrent of Han cavalry in front of them made Dingling desperate.

Ding Lingtou broke through from left to right, but failed to rush out. On the one hand, his own morale was getting worse and worse, and on the other hand, the cavalry of the Han army who could not fight or run. The leader of Ding Lingren finally realized what he had done before. His arrogance and arrogance also disillusioned him of all hopes.

In desperation, the Dingling headman took his own guards and launched an almost suicidal attack towards the Han people in the direction of Li Dian's banner, but unfortunately, he was shot by an arrow halfway. , before even waiting for Li Dian to make a move, he died.

  Among the chaotic array of Dingling people, all the will to resist has collapsed in an instant. Many people have turned around and ran away. But if the war horse wants to turn around, it doesn't turn its head in an instant like the initial D, let alone the Han army Sima on both sides has already led the cavalry, spreading its wings like a crane, and encircling the Dingling people. Even if you escape, you will never be able to escape very far.

   Some people simply surrendered, while the other part of the Ding Ling felt that since there was no hope, they might as well die here!

Two different ideas and two different actions made the formation of Dingling people completely chaotic. Only a few Dingling people escaped from the chaotic vortex and then fled. As for where they can escape to, maybe they don't know. My own destiny is completely left to God to arrange...

   The battle is over soon.

  From hope to despair, there is often only a thin line.

  Not all those who begged for death were dead. Some of them were still wailing in the battlefield, their voices fluctuated from loud to soft, but the syllables like "mother" still appeared the most...

Those Dingling people who lost their fighting spirit fell to their knees. They may still be alive, but their hearts are basically dead, as if they were enclosed in a dark cage. Even if the Han people did not tie them up with ropes, they He didn't dare to move around, just knelt and waited, like a walking dead.

  The war horse that lost its master kicked and turned back again, and then found its familiar master in the **** battlefield, then arched its long neck and whined until it was led away.

  Li Dian was clean from head to toe, and only the blood and mud on the horse and the corners of his robe might prove that Li Dian had indeed participated in such a battle.

  The excited Sima of the left and right army circled over, each covered in blood, which was in stark contrast to Li Dian's clean armor.

  『Subordinates report to the general! The left and right army Sima shouted loudly, the special excitement of fighting seemed to be still on his face, which had not completely subsided.

  Li Dian nodded, "Clean up the battlefield, and then go to the Ding Lingren camp!" 』

  Ding Lingren's camp is not in the big ravine, but at the foot of Huangya Ridge.

  The reason is really simple. Due to geographical reasons, the big ravines are all hills, ravines and valleys, but there are very few water sources. Even if there are some springs, it is difficult to obtain on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is not enough for large-scale people to drink.

  Huangyaling is different.

  There is spring water, and there is also a pool of water formed by the spring water. Although it is not very big, it is enough for people to drink.

If Li Dian and the others were not familiar with the terrain and did not have a strategic map, they might have been led to the big ravine by Ding Lingren, but now that the hussars are going up and down, which level of general military academy does not pay attention to the survey of the battlefield map? and familiar master?

  As for the problem of poisonous water along the way, the solution is actually simpler.

  After the chief of Beijunzhai fell ill for no reason, Li Dian considered this possibility. Along the way, the residual snow in some places had never melted, and the snow in this era basically does not need to consider any air pollution...

  In Ding Lingren's camp, Li Dian understood the source of the "poisonous water".

  Looking at the rotten and half-rotten corpses in the pothole, with obvious signs of cutting and removing flesh and blood, Li Dian turned his head and asked Ding Lingren, who was lying on the ground trembling, "Who told you to do this?" 』

  After the translation, Ding Lingren didn’t even dare to lift his head. He stuck to the ground and replied, “It’s the leader, the leader asked us to do it…”

  『Who are these people...』 Li Dian felt a little angry.

  『…Yes, it’s the weak members of the tribe… who can’t keep up with the team…』

  Hearing this, Li Dian was a little stunned, and immediately shook his head, sighed, turned around and ordered someone to completely bury the hole, and then ordered all the Dingling captives to be escorted back to Yinshan Mountain.

  The three-color battle flag fluttered high.

  The small group of people who were trapped in a long string moved forward slowly.

  The Han Chinese cavalry who had returned from victory shouted with great interest, as if the previous battle did not consume much of their physical strength, and urged the Dingling captives to speed up.

   Li Dian, who was in the queue, looked pale.

  『General, what is this…』 Li Dian's confidant guard asked softly.

  『It’s okay...I’m just thinking...My lord is right...』 Li Dian was in the queue, looking back at Huang Yaling, "These guys have no virtue and incompetence, no inheritance, unworthy... completely unworthy..."
