"Your Majesty knew that our troops were traveling in danger and suddenly abandoned the Xiongnu, detoured through the desert, and broke into the Hexi Corridor. Naturally, he would not sit idly by and ignore it. I guess the outside world must have reacted at this time-"
Speaking of this, Han Xin pointed directly at the location of Longxi.
"The Yuezhi army has not arrived for a long time. I am afraid that the Longxi army has already made a big move, and this is how it restrained the main force of the Yuezhi army!"
Everyone couldn't help but nodded slightly, Meng Zhan took a deep breath, and looked at Han Xin with a sense of awe.
He and Han Xin have always been targets of competition. Although they often failed in military exercises, they believed that the gap was only a thin line. As long as they were more serious, careful, and thoughtful, they would definitely not lose to Han Xin. .
But now when he arrived on the battlefield, he suddenly realized that the difference between himself and Han Xin was a little big. Just like this time, I was just a momentary change on the battlefield, but Han Xin's eyes had already jumped out of the battlefield...
It was not just anyone who shared Meng Zhan's thoughts. Even Zhao Ying looked at Han Xin with unabashed admiration.
With Han Xin's radiant and wise demeanor now, who would have thought that a few months ago, he was still a poor and helpless libertine that everyone despised in Huaiyin City?
Genius, as expected, still has to find his battlefield!
In areas that he is not good at, perhaps they may not be able to catch up with an ordinary mediocre person.
"However, Yanzhi Mountain is of great importance to the Yuezhi. When they learn that Yanzhi Mountain has been lost, they will definitely counterattack with all their strength. The general recommends reinforcing the mountain's defenses as soon as possible."
Everyone understood that Han Xin wanted to take advantage of the dangerous terrain of Yanzhi Mountain to wait for work, trapping the Yuezhi people between Yanzhi Mountain and Wushaoling.
Everyone knows that it is simply impossible for the Yuezhi people to support more than 200,000 troops with such a small area.
If it doesn't last for half a month, it will face the dangerous situation of being cut off from food and grass.
Han Xin's judgment and suggestions were recognized by everyone, including Zhao Ying. The rest was simple. Ju Ziqin of the Mohist family went into battle in person. With the assistance of the Mohist apprentices, Yanzhi Mountain began to strengthen its defenses.
Unlike places like Damaying Racecourse, Yanzhi Mountain itself has its own fortifications. This level of fortifications is considered top-notch among the Yuezhi people, but in the eyes of the Mohists, it is really not enough. Look.
However, it can be considered that I have a fairly passable foundation, which saves a lot of effort.
By the time King Yuezhi's army of hundreds of thousands arrived near Yanzhi Mountain, the entire fortifications had come to an end. It was at this time that Zhao Ying finally received the news about Zhang Liang and Bai Sun.
"What, you have already captured Jiayu Mountain, and you just relied on those 1,500 troops?"
Wang Li's eyes widened in disbelief and he looked at the postman who came to deliver the letter.
That's Jiayu Mountain——
They didn't know anything about Jiayu Mountain. The Jiangshan Sheji Department had a Jiangshan Sheji Map about the topography of the Hexi Corridor. Zhao Ying had also led them to carefully analyze several important pass points in the Hexi Corridor.
Among them, the most mentioned place is Jiayu Mountain.
Moreover, through the news that came back one after another, the Yueshi built a pass in Jiayu Mountain and heavily guarded it. And Zhang Liang only took 1,500 men and captured the pass in Jiayu Mountain?
The dusty postman nodded excitedly.
"Yes, the original plan was to use the surrendered leader of the Yuezhi tribe to deceive the gate. For some reason, Mr. Zhang Liang suddenly changed his mind and rode into Jiayuguan alone. He convinced the guard of Jiayuguan that he would fight with Moduo. Blood, take Jiayuguan..."
Everyone:…
Even Han Xin, who had recently made many surprise attacks and made outstanding military achievements, could not help but raise his eyebrows and looked at the postman with some surprise. No way, Zhang Liang's results are really amazing.
There were 1,500 people, 1,000 of whom were Hun soldiers who had just surrendered.
With just these people, they directly captured the Jiayuguan Pass, which Huang Zhangsun said was the most difficult to conquer...
Compared with this result, the results I have achieved are not enough.
Zhang Liang's battle report is also very simple.
Just a few simple sentences.
"Chen Liang, my lord has taken Jiayuguan to the west."
However, with such a simple sentence, Zhao Ying could not help but raise the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile that could not be concealed. What made him happy was not only that Jiayuguan was in his pocket, but more importantly, he had finally waited for Zhang Liang for so long!
It's not in vain that I spent so much effort for him like a hawk.
Although Zhang Liang cherished his words like gold and did not say much in the battle report, everyone can still imagine the danger involved.
Jiayuguan has been taken, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. This meant that people like themselves had no worries for the time being, and the strategic depth had been greatly strengthened.
The news brought by Zhang Liang was like a shot in the arm, boosting everyone's morale.
All that's left is to defeat the Yuezhi army below and completely open the gap in the Hexi Corridor!
On the hillside, Wang Li put down the telescope in his hand and looked at Zhao Ying aside with fiery eyes.
"General, I am willing to take three thousand troops and go down to teach these Yuezhi people a lesson..."
Wang Li has been really stimulated recently.
As a deputy general, his performance during this expedition was not as good as that of several two to five hundred commanders. Both Han Xin and Meng Zhan performed brilliantly and showed their potential as famous generals. Now, even Zhang Liang has made a great achievement of riding alone and conquering Jiayuguan.
His lieutenant really couldn't sit still.
Zhao Ying thought for a while and nodded lightly.
"But, I'm here to hold the battle for you, so you must be careful!"
Wang Li nodded excitedly, immediately ordered his troops and headed straight for the Yuezhi army. He wanted to teach the Yuezhi people a lesson while their foothold was not yet stable.
Looking at the army rushing towards Yanzhi Mountain, King Yuezhi looked around.
"Which general is willing to go to war and teach these Qin people a lesson?"
"Old minister is willing to go!"
As King Xian You spoke, he still squinted his eyes and glanced at King Xian Zuo, who was standing there without saying a word, and added in a strange way.
"I want to go meet these Great Qin warriors who are said to be able to shoot left and right on horseback. How powerful are they..."
As soon as King Xian You finished speaking, many people focused their attention on King Xian Zuo Yudun, and then burst into inexplicable laughter.
Zuo Xian Wang Yudun originally warned them to be careful of the Qin army's cavalry shooting. At this time, seeing this situation, he couldn't help but grimace and simply said nothing.
King Yuezhi pretended not to hear it and looked at King Youxian with approval.
"King Youxian is worthy of the name of bravery, but the people of Qin are cunning, so don't be careless!"
King You Xian put his hand on his chest, bowed to King Yuezhi, turned around and strode out.
"Everyone, let's see how I teach these great Qin vulture shooters a lesson -"
"I'll wait for the triumphant return of King Youxian——"
In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, King Yuezhi sent his youngest son to lead an army of 20,000 Yuezhi to hold down the battle for King Youxian, while the others made arrangements to set up camp in full swing.
In front of King Yuezhi and King Zuoxian Yudun, King Youxian, although he spoke arrogantly, turned around and his eyes became clear.
"Du Mozhi, let's go and try the Qin people's temper..."
As the Righteous King, how could he personally charge into the battle before he could figure out the depth of the enemy? Naturally, he had to leave such matters to his subordinates.
As soon as King You Xian finished speaking, a tall Yuezhi man with a high nose and deep eyes flashed out from the crowd.
"promise!"
Du Mozhi waved his hand, and a team of more than 2,000 people followed him out.
King Youxian was cautious. As the grandson of the old general Wang Jian, Wang Li naturally couldn't just rush all the troops like a dazed young man.
A small team of Jian Yuezhi people rushed out, and a small team about the same size as those in front of them also separated to meet them.
The two sides were still seven or eight hundred meters apart, and they had already begun to gradually accelerate.
Seeing the Qin army holding a long sword and not giving way, Du Mozhi couldn't help but a look of excitement flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that these Qin people dared to confront him directly!
"Brothers, let these soft-footed sheep see what a real cavalry is!"
He originally wanted to fire a round of arrows first, but when he saw how reckless the opponent was, he immediately put away his bow and arrows. Just kidding, the cavalry is hedging, who are the Yuezhi people afraid of?
The distance of seven to eight hundred meters shortened rapidly under the charge of the cavalry. In the blink of an eye, they could already see each other's figures, and Du Mozhi's eyes were full of cruel and ferocious smiles.
"Charge, charge, charge, crush these bastards of Great Qin!"
He excitedly waved the scimitar in his hand, drawing one cold arc after another in the air. He seemed to be able to smell the blood on his enemies.
At this time, the distance between the cavalry on both sides was less than a hundred meters. With the speed of both sides at this time, they arrived in an instant, and there was no time to make other moves.
Dumozhi is ready to fight head-on with the enemy!
However, just when he gritted his teeth and was about to give the enemy a hard blow, he suddenly saw the enemy speeding around making incredible evasive movements. Like a flood, it divided into two parts smoothly. Stock, flashed them to the middle...
This is a galloping war horse. The distance between the two sides has reached an extremely dangerous distance. How dare they make such an action? How do they do such an action?
You know, this kind of movement, if you don't do it right, will make you fall on your back.
Not to mention the Central Plains people, whose riding skills have always been inferior, even when fighting the Huns, I have never seen anyone dare to make such a dangerous move at such a distance!
crazy!
However, before he could figure it out, he saw the Qin army suddenly put down their long swords, raised their bows and arrows, and then were hit by a shower of arrows.
Unable to dodge, and he did not have the exquisite armor like the Qin army, the men around him fell instantly. Even he himself was shot by an arrow in the back because he was unable to dodge.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered the words of warning from King Zuo Xian, Yu Dun.
The Qin army could shoot left and right on galloping horses, and its strength was comparable to that of the vulture shooters in the clan!
It turns out that this is not shirking responsibility or exaggerating, it is actually true!
But it was too late to regret.
The war horse galloped forward and charged very fast. He had no way to control the speed of the war horse, nor could he control his team to make sufficient tactical moves. He could not even let go of the reins and raise his bow and arrow to fight back.
Even among the Yuezhi and Xiongnu, he is considered the best in shooting his bow from left to right while galloping!
How can people like him do it?
Therefore, at this moment, even if he had the intention, he had no choice but to grit his teeth, lie on the horse, urge the horse, and rush forward desperately, hoping to get out of the threatening range of the Qin army's bows and arrows as soon as possible.
It should be soon, right?
It's very fast, so it should be fine as long as they rush out. Even those Qin people with good riding skills can't make the galloping horses turn around on the spot, and give themselves another round, right?
However, he soon saw that the Qin cavalry drew an arc behind him like a flowing cloud, crossing them neatly. Before they could recover, another wave came to them...
Du Mozhi:......
Looking around, I found that at this moment, less than half of the people who could still sit upright on the horse were left. The most frightening thing is that the situation has completely entered the rhythm of the Qin army. Although the opponent only has more than a thousand people, they are flying in and out, and these people can't keep up with their rhythm!
Du Mozhi was exhausted from running for his life, and King Youxian, who was holding the battle behind him, couldn't help but be stunned.
This army can really shoot left and right while galloping!
When did Great Qin have such a terrifying cavalry?
At this time, not only King Youxian was shocked, but all the noble leaders of the Yuezhi, including the Yuezhi King, were dumbfounded, with incredible looks in their eyes.
Only King Zuo Xian was depressed, with a calm expression, as if he had already anticipated everything.
Without thinking too much, they couldn't just watch Du Mozhi's two thousand cavalry being slaughtered by the Qin people. Yes, all they could think about was slaughter.
Because this cannot be regarded as a war at all, but a unilateral massacre.
After all, all of his people were almost killed, and not a single one of them was seriously injured yet. Although there were a few skilled horsemen who raised arrows to fight back, the bows and arrows fell on their armor, barely breaking their defense—— Except for a few unlucky guys who were shot through the gaps in their armor...
The Jian Yuezhi people directly dispatched thousands of troops to rescue them. This small team of only a thousand people did not fight hard. They passed by again in a smooth and flowing manner, and after throwing down another wave of arrows, they ran directly back to their position.
Not even the head!
Only a scattered mess of wounded and dead bodies was left.
"King Youxian, this is no longer possible. I am still waiting to see your feat of defeating the Qin army..."
I don't know when, Zuo Xian Wang Yudun has come to You Xian Wang's side.
Listening to the ridiculing words of King Zuo Xian, King You Xian's face turned the color of pig liver. He snorted in anger and raised the riding crop in his hand.
"Dumi warriors, follow me to attack and leave behind this group of insidious and cunning Qin troops!"
He could clearly see from behind that if the Qin army hadn't been cunning and had adopted a cavalry hedging posture from the beginning, the idiot Dumozhi wouldn't have foolishly fought on.
In fact, cavalry charge is the correct way to open the cavalry. When both sides start to charge, there are not many opportunities to shoot bows and arrows.
In fact, whoever dares to use a bow and shoot an arrow during a charge may be destroying himself!
