Accompanied by the rapid sound of horse hooves, deafening shouts of killing came. Huo Qubing and Luo Wuji were riding BMWs, almost leading the way. Guards and daredevils were guarding on both sides, like arrows leaving the string. .
The soul of King Li of Yougu came out, and he was horrified and said: "Where did this group of Han troops come from? To meet the enemy!"
But it was useless. In this era where communication basically relied on shouting, it was too common for the Xiongnu to cause chaos when there were a large number of people. Especially the Xiongnu's discipline was relatively poor. Faced with Luo Wuji and Huo Qubing who suddenly rushed out from the flanks, the Xiongnu The army instinctively faced the enemy, and then was hit by a wave of arrows and quickly covered its face and lowered its head.
Once the number of people exceeds 10,000, the sky is connected to the sky, not to mention that the Huns' march is long and narrow, and it stretches for an extremely long distance, and the grassland is different from the plains.
The plain is flat and can be clearly seen from dozens to hundreds of meters or even farther away.
The grassland is not flat, but continuously undulating. The undulating slope may be very gentle, but after tens or hundreds of meters, there is still a drop of several meters, which is far more than the height of a person or horse.
This caused a very terrible thing. The marching soldiers could not actually see people in the distance. They did not know what was happening. They could only hear the fierce shouting and the sound of fighting.
Luo Wuji and Huo Qubing rushed out from both sides. Although the number of soldiers was only one-third of the Huns, they were overwhelming in terms of the absolute number of frontal battles.
There is no such thing as a war in which the weak defeats the strong. Victory is about forcing the weak. Just like the most famous Battle of Feishui, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the former Qin Dynasty were extremely strong on the surface, but at the same time they fostered internal instability and Fu Jian commanded two negative buffs, and the final result was that the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which was united in defending its territory, was stronger.
The purpose of the temple calculations on both sides is to put themselves in a strong position in the war. For example, Luo Wuji and Huo Qubing now have the advantage. The Huns' army cannot stop them at all. The Huns aristocrats have one characteristic, that is, once they are discovered If they can't be defeated, they will sneak away decisively. King Youguli concluded in a short period of time that he could not stop this wave of Han troops at all, and he guessed that this wave of Han troops must be the ones who defeated King Aries before. That wave.
With almost no resistance, King Youguli left here directly with his royal guards. In order to let others cover, he did not even notify the retreat. This was obviously letting others die. It could be delayed for a while longer. .
King Youguli was naturally heartbroken that so many herdsmen and slaves died here. This was all his private property, but if he didn't run away, he himself would die here.
After Luo Wuji saw it, he looked at Huo Qubing and said, "King Yougu Li is running too fast and cannot catch up. Defeat this Xiongnu army!"
Huo Qubing also understood that the Xiongnu king ran too decisively and could not catch up with so many people in front of him. However, as soon as King Youguli ran away, the Huns were completely leaderless. Then Huo Qubing and Luo Wuji made the Huns in the army shout loudly. He shouted: "King Yougu Li has run away, King Yougu Li has run away!"
The Huns who were fighting fiercely with the Han army took a look at the location of King Yougu Li, and found that he was really gone. Only the smoke and dust were left rolling away. In an instant, all their resistance was gone.
In a tribal country like the Xiongnu, except for the herdsmen who are relatively close to the royal court, most of the Huns are like semi-slaves. If you expect such people to love the Huns and be willing to take the initiative to die, then it is really Think too much, let alone the Xiongnu. Even in the Ming Dynasty, when the Hua-Yi debate had been going on for thousands of years, the resistance of the people at the bottom was not fierce until the hair-cutting order.
If the Qing army had not entered the Pass, they would have been oppressed by the wealthy landlords and literati. They had to pay so many exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes that they would not be able to survive. But after the Qing army entered the Pass, although they still could not survive, at least those lousy landlords, old wealthy people and many literati would not be able to survive. The gentry also died under the sword of the Qing army, which was enough to make the people happy.
The Huns had no fighting spirit, but the Han army was full of fighting spirit. Huo Qubing immediately said: "Brother Wuji, this is the elite of the Huns, a great opportunity!"
Luo Wuji immediately understood what Huo Qubing meant. The armor rate of these Huns was obviously higher than that of King Aries' army, and they were also equipped with more war horses. These were the troops that King Youguli brought to support and the herdsmen recruited temporarily. The ratio is relatively low, and such elites are now in such chaos that they are simply cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
Luo Wuji immediately raised his horse high and shouted: "Kill!"
The two of them knew without any communication that there would be no prisoners in this battle. After all, they would have to travel hundreds of miles later, and it was impossible to carry a time bomb like the Hun prisoners.
In ancient wars, when a complete formation of troops disrupted the rebel army, it can only be described as random killing. The rebel army only focused on escaping and had no intention of resisting at all. The soldiers of the two school captains formed a flying goose shape and directly attacked Scratching people layer by layer.
The battle ended quickly. Half of the Huns fled in the direction they came from. Those who tried to escape to the east were all caught up and killed. There were many corpses on the ground. Basically, everyone had an ear left.
In this kind of battle with the wind, the casualties of the Han army were not high, and everyone was beaming.
The most precious thing is that there were a large number of horses left at the scene. After this fierce battle, many of the horses ridden by the Han army were injured, and the horses' hoofs had begun to swell. They could no longer bear the heavy responsibility of running for hundreds of miles, so they could only stay behind. Let them fend for themselves here.
Huo Qubing rode past and asked loudly: "Brother Wuji, we have roughly finished counting our harvests. Do you need to rest?"
Luo Wuji loudly replied: "No, it's too dangerous to stay here, and the matter is important. Don't keep the general waiting, and march immediately."
As the Han army left, only the corpses on the ground were left, proving that this place had just experienced a tragic battle, which was very tragic for the Huns.
After this battle, the Han army had become one man and five horses, and their marching speed, which had been slightly delayed due to concern for horse power, immediately picked up.
March, rest, eat, regain strength, march again, rest again, eat again, regain strength.
The life of running around on the grassland is so simple and unpretentious. Long-term raids place high demands on generals. After all, raids are not just about arriving at the location, but also ensuring combat effectiveness. This is a great test of the general's understanding of the physical condition of his soldiers. , take a break at the right time.
After marching for hundreds of miles, the two of them stopped at the same time, listening to the faint noise coming from the distance.
"It's time for the soldiers to have a good rest and wait for the opportunity in the early morning."
"Get ready for war. Beyond these hills and to the south is the Loufan King's Department."
…
King Loufan was drinking heavily in the camp. The fierce battles with the Han army in the past few days made him feel reassured. He boasted loudly to everyone: "The Han army is nothing more than this. Tens of thousands of troops are blocked by this king and cannot advance. King Aries To be defeated at the hands of thousands of Han troops is really a waste."
After saying this, he burst into laughter. If King Aries knew that King Lou Fan arranged him in this way, he would be so angry that he would come to life and fight King Lou Fan.
After the banquet, the entire Loufan King tribe fell into silence. Only the scouts keeping vigil guarded against the Wei Qing Army's surprise attack. Piles of bonfires were burning brightly, providing vision for these night blindness patients.
But at the same time, these bonfires also completely exposed the whereabouts of the Huns. Luo Wuji and Huo Qubing took advantage of the faint moonlight, changed their previous raid, and slowly brought the army to the distance of the Huns camp. Thousands of troops wanted to directly It is unrealistic to approach a night attack.
When Gan Ning rode a hundred cavalry into the enemy's camp and achieved great success, he only had a hundred men, so Luo Wuji and Huo Qubing came to the camp with only a few people to search for targets.
Luo Wuji whispered: "Qu Bing, I can see at night as well as day. Do you see those clusters of bonfires? There is the golden tent of King Loufan's royal court, but I don't know if King Loufan will be the same as King Aries. But there shouldn’t be many weirdos like Aries King.
The terrain we are standing on happens to be relatively high. When the time comes, the soldiers can charge from the left side. The right side is a little steeper, and there seems to be some gravel washed by the river, which will hurt the horses. I do not recommend starting from Go that way. "
Huo Qubing heard the words and said in a deep voice: "When the time comes, we will rush down from the left, and then put down the remaining war horses with poor quality from other directions, and together we will attack the Huns' camp, and we can also confuse them."
After some discussion, the two decided on the attack strategy, and then quietly waited for the time when they were most exhausted. The Han army had already rested before, and it happened to be the time when they were most energetic.
Time passed by in a hurry, and soon it was the darkest time before dawn. With the sound of swords being unsheathed, Luo Wuji and Huo Qubing got on their horses and said, "After this battle, return to Chang'an to celebrate!"
The war horse began to trot slowly down the gentle slope, and then the speed became faster and faster. Even the horseshoes could not cover up the noise. Especially as the war horse ran closer and closer, the Huns reacted. This must be The Han army came to rob the camp.
But at this time, the Huns made a fatal mistake, that is, they thought that it was the Wei Qing tribe who robbed the camp, so the Huns soldiers who were always prepared to deal with the robberies headed towards the Wei Qing tribe under the leadership of their chief officers.
Wei Qing was also waiting for this opportunity, and said loudly to the Han generals who had been waiting for a long time: "Send orders to all battalions, and the whole army will attack. Tonight, we will attack King Loufan. The victory or defeat depends on this one move."
The Han army, which had never attacked with all its strength before, lit all the torches under the command of Wei Qing. It was as bright as day, and the cavalry rushed forward. This was the first time Wei Qing used the cavalry in this way. They had always used it at critical moments before. Only then will the cavalry appear.
This was actually to provide cover for Luo Wuji and Huo Qubing. The Huns were indeed fooled. In the dark, people are extremely insensitive to direction and extremely sensitive to sound, until they realized that there were not only horse hooves on the front When there was also the sound of horse hooves behind, it was already too late.
What Luo Wuji and Huo Qubing faced was a Xiongnu camp that was completely defenseless against the two of them. Moreover, the Xiongnu camp did not even have horses or the like. After all, there were not so many trees on the grassland for them to create these attacks. The city and defense implements highlight an unpretentiousness.
A total of six to seven thousand cavalry rushed into the Huns' camp without any resistance. No one paid attention to the endless tents. Luo Wuji and Huo Qubing only had King Loufan's tent in their eyes.
The two of them brought hundreds of the most elite soldiers and collided directly with King Lou Fan's Golden Guard. Almost instantly, they were knocked off their feet. Luo Wuji held the horse spear in his hand and smashed it down hard, directly knocking out the armor of the Huns soldiers. A hole was made. Although the armor was not broken, it looked like he would not be able to survive. Luo Wuji was so shocked that his hands hurt a little. After all, he was not a fierce man like Xiang Yu who could directly break the armor.
"Wuji, continue."
Huo Qubing shouted loudly, and then threw a heavy object directly towards him. Luo Wuji stretched out his hand to catch it, and it turned out to be a blunt object sledgehammer. Huo Qubing laughed and said: "To defeat these armor-piercing soldiers, you need a sledgehammer."
After saying that, he swung it with one hand and easily knocked a Huns soldier to death. These two sledgehammers were captured by the Huns before. After all, it is very heavy to carry a sword, a horse, a bow, an arrow, and an armor for a long distance. , generally no one will bring a sledgehammer.
"Thanks!"
Luo Wuji held the horse in his right hand and started swinging with a sledgehammer in his left hand. The force value of both of them was over 90. Naturally, they couldn't compare with a fierce man like Xiang Yu, but it was really a hammer to hit these soldiers. A child.
Under the beatings of the two super fierce men Luo Wuji and Huo Qubing, together with the dare warriors and the imperial guards of the Han Dynasty, the two of them rushed directly into the king's tent, and then saw a Xiongnu with a feather on his head and a gray face. noble.
"Are you King Lou Fan?"
Huo Qubing raised his whip and asked sharply.
"I am."
At this point, lying was of no use. Although King Lou Fan was unwilling, he still readily admitted it.
Luo Wuji and Huo Qubing burst out laughing when they heard this, "The one you caught is you, take him away to meet your uncle!"
Outside the king's tent, the fighting is going on, and blood is everywhere, but the overall situation has been decided!
————
From historical records, it can be concluded that the Battle of Monan-Moxi was originally a pure battle in Henan. However, the unexpected victory of the Han Dynasty caused the Han Dynasty to quickly change its strategic goals and launch a war instead. A very large battle affecting Monan and Moxi.
The victory of this war completely eliminated the Xiongnu threat to the Han Dynasty's border. Henan, the Hetao Plain, returned to the hands of the Han Dynasty. This was a heavy blow to the economy of the Xiongnu Empire, and the Han Dynasty obtained the most critical war resources. , the addition of a large number of horses greatly enhanced the war potential of the Han Dynasty. After this battle, the situation between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu changed from a strategic stalemate to a strategic offensive, and the initiative in the war fell into the hands of the Han Dynasty.
Huo Qubing and Luo Wuji, two talented cavalry commanders, stood out in this war and opened up the history of the Han Dynasty's magnificent foreign offensive and development. ——"The Rise and Fall of the Han Dynasty"
