"General, the weapons and equipment sent from Bohai County have arrived."
With the war imminent, all parties in the Han Dynasty mobilized frequently, the most important of which were grain, grass and weapons.
The current military equipment of the Western Han Dynasty is located in Bohai County, which is not far from the border but will not be invaded by the Huns. It can be transported by land or sea, which is very convenient.
In the captain's mansion, Zhang Qi nodded.
Get up and go out.
As the central commander of two thousand stones, he has considerable rights and is eligible to apply for sufficient armaments.
Now that the weapons have arrived, he naturally has to check and accept them.
There were 20,000 people in the Liaodong Army. He asked for 40,000 crossbows, millions of crossbow bolts, and leather and iron armor to arm all the soldiers.
There are countless swords, spears, halberds and spears.
It must be said that the Han Dynasty had a lot of weapons and equipment. Zhang Qi originally thought that it would be difficult to ask for these supplies, but he did not expect that the court immediately approved it as soon as the documents were sent.
Extremely efficient.
The Huns were definitely forced to panic.
"Wang Li!"
"Captain!"
Wang Li, who was wearing Han-made leather armor, held his hand.
"Put the necessary supplies into storage and take some time every day to train A."
"promise!"
Zhang Qin hummed, took the quantity of supplies registered in the military register, looked at them for a few times, and then handed them back.
Heavy snow has covered the ground.
But the central captain's office continued to practice diligently every day.
With grain and grass from the Han Dynasty and supplies sent by Wuhuan, Zhang Qi trained these soldiers very harshly.
Discipline and obedience are the everlasting themes in the military.
They were fed and clothed, and the Liaodong army received Zhang Qi's orders very well.
Compared with the tense atmosphere in other counties, Zhang Qi's side was somewhat calm. He never told his soldiers about the Huns' invasion, because he knew that the Huns would most likely not come to Liaoxi, and even if they did, they would only come. It will only be Hu Shui's You Yi army.
If Yi Zhixie commits suicide, Zhang Qi is not afraid to change his strategy and replace him with another Chanyu.
If he didn't need the Xiongnu to attract the Han Dynasty's attention now, with his current combat power, it would be easy to defeat the Xiongnu.
Because the horses under his command are fast, the people under his command dare to fight.
The Huns are no longer in Zhang Qi's eyes, and now his only strong enemy is the Han Dynasty.
Different from nomads, the Han Dynasty, as a farming nation, had a large enough population base. In the cold weapon era, large numbers of people were the greatest advantage.
Not to mention Han's armaments, city defenses, hundreds of thousands of main troops, and millions of officials who could be recruited at any time.
December.
Heavy snow in the middle of winter.
It took the Xiongnu Chanyu Yizhixie two months to pacify all the grassland tribes.
January.
Shan Yuting began to initiate recruitment.
Various grassland ministries began to respond.
February.
Food and horses are ready.
Two hundred and forty thousand horsemen from the grassland moved together and rushed to all counties of the Han Dynasty.
March.
Everything is coming to life. Except for Youbeiping, Liaoxi and Liaodong, the climate in other counties is already good.
That's when.
Huns.
coming!
Shuofang.
Gongsun Ao, the captain of the guard army, looked north at the pass of the Great Wall.
His instinct told him that the Huns were coming soon.
His intuition was correct. At noon that day, the green horse came from the north in a mighty way.
"Small smoke! Inform all counties that the Huns are attacking!"
"promise!"
The entire Great Wall Pass suddenly started to move.
Countless defensive equipment were prepared, and the billowing smoke spread from west to east!
Yunzhong County.
The heroic general Li Guang looked at Lang Yan and his face suddenly became filled with unruly anger.
"Humph, you are a cowardless Huns. You know I don't dare to invade here!"
"Sign up the flames of war and inform other border counties!"
"promise!"
"Let General Pi lead the army back to the counties. If Gongsun Ao can't hold it, the Huns will plunder eastward from Shuofang territory. Be prepared in advance!"
Shanggu County
"Sign up the smoke!"
Right Beiping.
The smoke was already visible, and Wei Qing sighed: "As the smoke rises, a battalion of soldiers (five thousand people) will be left at the Great Wall Pass, and the rest will be deployed to defend the counties!"
"uncle?"
Next to Wei Qing, Huo Qubing looked at Wei Qing in confusion. The Huns hadn't arrived at the Great Wall yet, so why should they start changing defenses now?
"The Huns have come in. Go sick. Do you know where the Huns like to go when they invade the country?"
"Shuofang?"
Huo Qubing said hesitantly.
Wei Qing shook his head and then nodded: "The Great Wall has been built for a long time. It was not built by one country, but by practitioners from several countries. The best one to attack is here. Your Majesty asked me to guard Youbeiping just to test the ability of the new soldiers. Secondly, Shuofang , Meng Tian was ordered to connect the Great Wall in the past.
He connected, but not completely. There is a gap in the westernmost part of the Qin Great Wall, which is close to Shan Yuting, so besides Youbeiping, that side is the best place to attack. "
"The person guarding there is Gongsun Ao, the captain of the guard army. He is inexperienced, and it is a foregone conclusion that the Xiongnu will enter from Shuofang."
With that said, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing had already descended the Great Wall.
"Then why does Your Majesty let him guard such an important place?"
Huo Qubing was puzzled.
Wei Qing looked back in the direction of Chang'an, his eyes flickering: "What Your Majesty wants is for them to come in!"
"Our Majesty has a heart of steel."
"We can't catch up with the Huns in the grassland, but we can put them into the Han Dynasty."
Wei Qing didn't say anything else, but Huo Qubing also realized that doing so was equivalent to letting the Huns into the pocket. As long as the bag was sealed, the Han army could fight the Huns head-on.
"What about those people?"
After spending more than a month with Zhang Qi, Huo Qubing became somewhat concerned about issues that he had never asked about before.
Wei Qing glanced at Huo Qubing in surprise. This was the first time he heard him ask such a question.
However, he didn't say anything. He glanced at Huo Qubing and continued walking forward.
The people are nothing to him. Even as a general guarding the country, he is guarding Liu Che's country and land.
Shuofang.
"kill!"
"Hahaha!"
"Wealth! Fine wine! Beauty! You will have everything when you enter Han Dynasty!"
The Huns all had ferocious smiles on their faces.
"Fire the arrow, let the arrow go!!"
Gongsun Ao, the guard captain, ordered loudly.
At the pass of the Great Wall, the Han army fought hard to kill the enemy. Unfortunately, there were too many Huns, and they kept coming. After killing one, two appeared.
Soon the Shuofang Great Wall fell and countless Huns poured into Shuofang County.
Burning, killing and looting.
House collapse.
The torch was thrown out and the flames burst into flames.
"Mom! I'm afraid!"
"ah!"
"My son, my son!"
Children, women, old people, all living beings have different appearances, but this appearance is miserable.
Cries, noises, shouts of death, and ferocious laughter were everywhere.
Great Wall Pass.
Gongsun Ao sat paralyzed on the Great Wall, it was over, it was all over.
The task entrusted to him by His Majesty was not completed. According to Han law, this was a capital offense.
Although he left behind countless corpses of Huns, if he didn't hold on, he didn't hold on. Countless Huns entered the Han Dynasty from him.
He took off his helmet, and Gongsun Ao stared blankly at Shuofang, where a blazing fire was burning in the distance.
I couldn't speak to myself for a long time.
