From ancient times to the present, adultery has emerged in endlessly.
In fact, countless foreign nations have surrendered to me, such as Ashina Simo, Qi Heli, and Zhao Xin, who first surrendered to the Han Dynasty due to defeat, and then surrendered to the Huns after defeat, wavering and changing his position repeatedly. Lord, it is very rare...
Zhao Xin was originally a small king of the Huns. Later, he was defeated and surrendered to the Han Dynasty. He was renamed Zhao Xin. He was entrusted with a high position by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He made many military exploits and was named a Marquis of Xi.
In the third year of Yuanshuo, the military minister Chanyu died, and his younger brother Yizhixie Chanyu succeeded to the throne. Prince Yu Dan, a military official and Shan Yu, was humiliated and could not bear the humiliation, so he fled to the Han Dynasty.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty granted him the title of Marquis of Zhi'an.
Because Yizhixie Chanyu resented the Han's acceptance of Yu Dan, he repeatedly sent troops to Daijun, Yanmen, Dingxiang, Shangjun and other places to plunder. King Youxian of the Xiongnu also used the Han Dynasty to attack his "Henan land", and also repeatedly sent troops to invade Shuofang County of the Han Dynasty.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had great talents and strategies, and his empire was strong and he had many skilled soldiers, so he decided to send troops to fight back. In 124 BC, the Han Dynasty sent Wei Qing, Su Jian, Li Ju, Gongsun He and other troops to attack King Youxian with more than 100,000 troops. King Youxian was defeated and lost more than 15,000 men and women, more than ten people serving King Bi, and "tens of millions" of livestock.
The results were brilliant.
However, there were also losses. The more than 3,000 cavalry led by the right general Su Jian and the former general Zhao Xin were almost wiped out. Su Jianning refused to surrender and was shown his head to the public, while Zhao Xin surrendered to the Huns.
After Yizhixie Chanyu got Zhao Xin, because he had been in the Han army for a long time and was familiar with the military conditions of the Han area, he named him "the second king" and took him as his sister, in an attempt to use him to jointly deal with the Han army. Zhao Xin proposed that Yi Zhixie leave the Yinshan area and move to Mobei to lure out the Han soldiers. He also led his army to build a city at Yanshan at the southern foot of Yanran Mountain (Yanran Mountain is Yu Dujun Mountain, today's Hangai Mountain) and guard Mobei. portal.
Seven years later, in the fourth year of Yuanshou, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to lead 50,000 iron cavalry in two separate groups to attack in the desert of North Vietnam.
Yi Zhixie followed Zhao Xin's plan and placed elite troops in Mobei to wait for work.
Wei Qing's troops sent troops from Dingxiang for more than a thousand miles and met Yizhixie Shanyu. The Han army formed a camp with Wugang chariots and five thousand soldiers to attack the enemy. It was dusk, with flying sand and dust, and the Han army spread out its wings to encircle them, their fighting spirit was fierce and unstoppable! When Yi Zhixie Chanyu saw the Han army's elite troops, he was frightened and thought he could not win, so he led himself and hundreds of soldiers to break through the encirclement. The Han army pursued Zhao Xin for hundreds of miles and arrived at Zhao Xin's city. Seeing that Zhao Xin had already taken precautions, he led tens of thousands of elite troops to line up here and immediately attacked.
"The army and chariots marched seven times, rushing towards Xianxian, encircling Chanyu, and ascending to Yan in the north."
Wei Qing defeated Zhao Xin's city, but the damage was so severe that he had to stop there. The Huns accumulated millet to feed their troops, while Yi Zhixie and Zhao Xin fled back to Mobei in embarrassment.
On the other way, Huo Qubing's troops left the fortress from Daijun and galloped for more than 2,000 miles. They crossed the Gonglu River and fought against the Xiongnu Zuoxian King. They also won a complete victory, killing more than 70,000 people and destroying the Xiongnu's place of worship. In Longcheng, he sealed Langjuxu Mountain, meditated on Guyan Mountain, the main peak of Langjuxu Mountain, climbed to the vast sea and returned.
Both armies achieved victory, but the results were completely different.
Is it because Wei Qing's ability is not as good as Huo Qubing's?
Of course not.
Although Wei Qing was not as sharp as Huo Qubing, his marching was always steady and he considered defeat before victory, and his military ability was even better than that of Huo Qubing.
The reason why he failed to achieve such illustrious military exploits as Huo Qubing's "Self-conferring Wolf to Xu", which will last forever, is all because of the existence of Zhao Xincheng.
This mountain is built on the mountain and is close to the Yanshan Pass. From here, you can go north along the pass of Yudujun Mountain and cross Yanran Mountain, enter the hinterland of Mobei, and reach Longcheng. Although Wei Qing captured Zhao Xin City, his troops were exhausted and his horses were severely damaged. He did not dare to enter the hinterland of Mobei rashly, lest he be attacked by the remaining Huns cavalry, and had to return to the court.
This shows how dangerous the strategic position of Zhao Xincheng is!
Otherwise, Le Shi Yanran might not be able to do anything without Dou Xian, and Wei Qing would do it.
Just imagine, if two armies march together to seize Shi Yanran, and seal the wolf as a coward, how majestic it would be?
*****
Youtunwei went all the way north, and when they approached Zhao Xincheng, heavy snow began to fall again.
The snow beats the wind.
Fang Jun looked at the thickening clouds in the sky, which were like snowflakes, and ordered the troops not to stay. He arrived at Zhao Xin's city in one go and stationed himself there.
It seems that Xue Yantuo is not having a good time this winter. There has been heavy snowfall. He is afraid that Mobei has already suffered a white disaster. The reason why he sent Da Dushe to lead an army into Monan is not only to force Tang Dynasty to make a marriage, but also to wait for an opportunity to invade Dingxiang. Outside, it also has the purpose of stabilizing the inside.
The best way to pass on internal conflicts has always been to launch a war...
"Commander, Yan Shan is in front of you!"
Xue Rengui rode his horse to Fang Jun's side and rode away.
The horse's speed did not slow down. Fang Jun raised his head and looked through the heavy snow in the sky at the mountain ridge in the north that stretched across the sky and the earth.
As the remnant of Yudujun Mountain, Yanshan Mountain is also majestic and stretches hundreds of miles.
While the wind and snow were swaying, I saw a majestic mountain city standing at a pass in the mountain range. If you want to enter the hinterland of Mobei, you must pass through this pass.
"Although Xin Zhao is shameless, he still has some talent."
Fang Jun praised.
Just talking about the location of Zhao Xin City, we can see that Zhao Xin has mastered the essence of Han military affairs. For the Huns who have never mastered the art of city building, it is simply a wealth given by God. It is no wonder that Yizhike Chanyu After Zhao Xin surrendered, he was granted the extremely high official position of "Second King".
Xue Rengui raised his head on horseback, facing the wind and snow, and laughed heartily: "Even if it is the Dragon Palace and Tianque, in front of the gunpowder of my right guard, it is just a clay sculpture, a chicken and a dog! Not to mention the mere Zhao Xincheng? Da Commander, at the end of the day, I asked you to be the vanguard of the army and attack Zhao Xin City within two hours. I invite the commander to drink and sleep in the city tonight!"
Fang Jun squinted his eyes slightly, thought about it, and said, "Yes!"
Soldiers are valuable and quick.
Since the army came out of Baidao, the Tang army has implemented this purpose all the way. The army rushed forward in the wind and snow, absolutely not giving the Xue Yantuo people any chance to breathe, relax and calmly arrange their arrangements. Now that Chikel had fled all the way, he must have arrived at Zhao Xin City, and the city was on guard.
But who would have thought that the Tang army would advance thousands of miles and arrive at Zhao Xin's city, but would not even take a rest before launching an attack suddenly?
Taking the enemy by surprise and attacking him unprepared is the key to victory for a military strategist.
Moreover, with firearms in hand, any city in this era would be like paper in front of Fang Jun, but it can be destroyed wantonly and irresistible!
Taking advantage of the fact that Chikel had just arrived at Zhao Xin City, the city's defenders had not yet had time to deploy, and the Hu tribes near Zhao Xin City must have had no time to be recruited to help defend the city. An unexpected and sudden attack on the city would definitely completely disrupt the layout of Xue Yantuo's defenders.
As long as Zhao Xin City is captured, there will be no natural danger to defend the Hu people's heartland from here to Mobei. In front of the Tang army with muskets, they will be like a weak little daughter-in-law, bullying and ravaging at will!
Xue Rengui took the order and caught up with his soldiers with excitement on his face. He accelerated his horse and slowly separated from the large army and advanced towards Zhao Xincheng.
How could we not be excited?
As sons and daughters of the Han family, Meng Tian, Li Mu, Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, Dou Xian and many other famous generals who have made great achievements in foreign wars have been heroes in their hearts since childhood, and generation after generation regard them as heroes they admire throughout their lives!
Now, the desolate land covered with ice and snow beneath our feet bears the footprints left by the heroes of the Han family.
Following the footsteps of the heroes of the past, we advance all the way to the heart of the Hu people, conquering all the enemies, and then seize Shi Yanran and seal the wolf from Xu...
What could be a more noble pinnacle of life than this?
As long as you step through Yudujun Mountain and drink Ma'anhou water, even if your body is wrapped in horse leather, what's the problem? !
When a man dies, he dies. His name will go down in history, weighing more than Mount Tai!
…
Zhao Xin is on the city.
Nishu was dressed in leather armor, his beard and hair fluttering in the cold wind, and there was a constant stream of scouts around him, constantly sending back battle reports from the front.
Looking at the fiery red faintly revealed in the wind and snow in the distance, and tens of thousands of Tang troops rushing towards them like lightning, Nishu was secretly frightened.
After a surprise attack for thousands of miles, they reached the gates of Zhao Xin's city, but they didn't even bother to repair it, so they attacked the city brazenly?
Was the commander-in-chief of the Tang army reckless and incompetent, or was he so confident that he never paid Zhao Xincheng any attention?
Thinking of Qi Kelu's warning before leaving, Nishu frowned and waved his hand: "Get ready to fight!"
The Tang army's decision to attack the city made him somewhat passive. Zhao Xincheng is located at the foot of Yan Mountain. There are many rivers nearby. Every summer, the river water is abundant and the water and grass are fertile. Countless tribes gather on the left and right. Originally, he planned to recruit all the young men of these tribes and gather them in Zhao Xin City to hinder the Tang army's attack with an absolutely superior force.
There is no need to go out to fight in the field, he only needs to guard the city. It won't take long before the Tang army, which has no supplies, will have to retreat. When he leads the army to pursue him from behind, the Tang army will flee in panic like a bereaved dog. This vast snowfield and desolate moraine, This is their burial place!
But I never thought that the Tang army would be so brave and fearless, launching an attack as soon as they arrived at the city...
Um?
What's going on with those cars covered with thick wooden boards?
There was no ladder or car crash. Could it be that the Tang army relied on these turtle-like vehicles to attempt to break through the impregnable Zhao Xin City?
Suddenly, Nishu remembered what Chikel warned him before: The Tang army had a kind of car, covered with wooden boards, which was not afraid of rolling wood and rocks, and could easily blow up the city...
Nishu felt uneasy and decisively ordered: "Immediately use a rope to go down from the city and destroy these cars for me!"
He didn't understand how the Tang army blew up the high-walled Wuchuan Town, but since this kind of car appeared so strangely, it must have something to do with it. It doesn't matter if you don't understand Tang Jun's intention. As long as I destroy a car like yours, won't it be fine?
This guy Chico is really stupid. He can't even think of such a simple solution...
