Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the era of cold weapons, the most portable and practical long-range strike weapon is still the bow and arrow.  Bows and arrows are also the only item in which infantry has a certain advantage in a battle between infantry and cavalry.  It goes without saying that the effect of a hasty and unstable launch while running at a speed will be hugely different from that of a standing and well-arranged launch on a flat ground!  The Southern Xiongnu Mang Zhengji's troops launched a frenzied attack on the Han army's camp for many consecutive days and suffered casualties. A huge part of the cavalry were killed or injured under the dense rain of arrows.  Due to the maximum lag in horse traps, ground conditions, and horse-rejection formations, the advancement speed of the Southern Huns' cavalry was hindered and the attack formation of the Southern Huns' cavalry was disrupted. This was tantamount to completely exposing the Southern Huns' cavalry to the Han army.  Covered by the rain of arrows, the Southern Huns cavalry became a 'living target' for the infantry's rain of arrows!

    As the strongest army of this era, the Xuzhou Army has "super-advanced" weapons such as crossbows and catapults, and has even begun to manufacture large quantities of gunpowder. However, due to the limitations of productivity conditions and technical levels, it has no mechanical power.  Under certain conditions, so-called 'super-advanced' weapons can only be used under specific conditions and environments, and cannot meet the requirements and standards of 'universal ordnance' at all.  Of course, in a completely defensive situation, the fixed-point launch of bulky crossbows and catapults must still have huge lethality!  It is a pity that the Bingzhou Army led by Lu Bu, Le Jin and others did not possess these ordnance.  Therefore, the Bingzhou Army can now only fight against the Southern Huns' cavalry with the most primitive weapons and the most common methods.  It has to be said that it was Le Jin, one of the "Five Good Generals" of the original "Cao Wei" in history, who had superior military strategy and flexible and appropriate use of tactics that withstood the crazy attack of the Southern Huns' cavalry.

    Hu Chuquan, the Great Chan of the Southern Xiongnu, arrived with almost the entire clan of 50,000 to 60,000 cavalrymen. They were also informed by the Han generals who were extremely exhausted after many days of bloody fighting.  Obtaining information about changes in the enemy's situation is also a top priority for both warring parties.  After receiving the report from the scouts, Le Jin reported to Lu Bu and others, and then sent two thousand infantry led by Shi Huan to the rear nearly thirty miles to select a site in advance and make arrangements.  Le Jin's intention was obvious, which was to retreat to the pre-deployed camp for subsequent resistance after the camp in front could not withstand it.

    Now that the battle has reached this level, due to the arrival of a large group of reinforcements from the Southern Xiongnu cavalry, the two armies have been fighting to the death; due to the swiftness of the Hu people's cavalry movements, no matter when the army led by me is  After arriving, the Han army attacking from Bingzhou was now impossible even if they wanted to withdraw from the battle!  If they retreat, they will inevitably be completely defeated by the barbarian cavalry that are as fast as the wind and then cascade down.  Now, all the generals of the Han army, including Lu Bu and others, in addition to being determined to fight to the end, are also secretly praying in their hearts for "reinforcements from all walks of life to arrive as soon as possible."

    If it is gold, it will shine!  As the war situation progresses, Le Jin has become the "general commander" of the Bingzhou Han Army!  All tactical arrangements and all military deployments were almost entirely made by Le Jin.  Fortunately, Le Jin himself is steady and humble. Before making any major decisions, he always briefs Lu Bu, Chen Gong, and even the generals, which also makes the generals admire and admire Le Jin very much; even the arrogant  , the domineering Lu Bu was not too dissatisfied.  Not to mention, Le Jin and Lu Bu work very well together!  To cooperate with Lu Bu, he really needs to be a general who doesn't talk much but is extremely 'pragmatic'!  In the past, the loyal Gao Shun had always been the number two figure in the "L¨¹ family". Later, there was the tacit understanding between Le Jin and Lu Bu. This is already an excellent example!

    After Hu Chuquan led the troops of the tribe to arrive, they only rested for one day and immediately launched a frantic attack on the Han army led by Lu Bu.  Taking advantage of the truce, the Han army also repaired and supplemented the defensive level and defensive equipment; but after all, it still seemed a bit hasty due to the short time.  After the initial stage of 'remote' resistance, before the end of the fighting that day, the two armies still fought face to face.  As night approached and the soldiers' physical strength was exhausted, the Han army on the first day of fighting finally survived until the two armies retreated.  In fact, it was only the Southern Xiongnu cavalry who returned to their camp after their violent attack. Except for several small "counterattacks" led by Lu Bu and others, the Han army mostly carried out "resistance on the spot."

    After several days of continuous strangulation with blood and flesh flying around, the Han army's troops and soldiers' physical strength were exhausted due to excessive consumption, and they were already overwhelmed and had frequent loopholes.  Having no choice but to repulse a whole day's frenzied attack by the Southern Huns' cavalry, Le Jin, who was already gray-faced and extremely exhausted from all the hard work and fighting all day long, had no choice but to suggest to Lu Bu, who seemed to still have some energy: overnight.  We are about to retreat to the camp prepared in the rear.  Otherwise, the whole army will be unable to fight in the future!  In fact, Lu Bu, who was also 'working hard', just said casually: General Wen Qian himself?Arrange it!  I rushed to the camp that had been prepared in the back and had a good sleep first!

    Looking at the shadowy back of Lu Bu with his bodyguard Yuan Biao with a helpless smile (it was already nightfall), Le Jin could only say to himself: Living ancestor!  With a wry smile, he ordered the entire army to prepare to quietly break up camp and retreat to the "second line of defense" that had been prepared by Shi Huan in advance.  Although he was exhausted, Le Jin's arrangements were still very thorough.  The time to set up camp was still arranged at the intersection of Xu and Hai, so as not to be caught off guard after being discovered by the Southern Huns' scouts too early.  After the whole army arrived at the camp prepared by Shi Huan and settled down, the white color of the fish belly began to show in the east. The Han army almost stayed up all night to carry out this camp relocation operation.

    No matter what you do, careful thinking and meticulous arrangements will often produce unexpected results!  What was unexpected about Le Jin's careful camp relocation was that it almost bought the Han army a few more days of precious time!  It also provided a time guarantee for the arrival of reinforcements and laid the foundation for the victory of the entire battle.

    When the "fed and drunk" Southern Xiongnu cavalry drove menacingly to the original camp of the Han army, what they saw was naturally a messy abandoned camp.  Feeling puzzled and even thinking that "the Han army had escaped secretly", Huchuquan, the Great Chan of the Southern Xiongnu, sent a detective horse to investigate.  It was already a few hours later when Tan Ma, who was inquiring about the news, returned.  After receiving the report that the Han army had only retreated thirty miles to camp again, Huchuquan felt that too much time had passed!  The cavalryman's anger was "released" today, and his stomach even "growled"!  We had no choice but to give the order to "go back to camp" in despair, and also ordered our own camp to move forward again and set up camp near the enemy.

    The subtleties show the foundation!  This could be said to be an 'extremely small' move by both sides to move and settle their camps.  The back and forth made it take two days for the Southern Huns cavalry to resume their frenzied attack on the Han army.  Don¡¯t underestimate these two days!  This is not just a two-day extension.  In these two days, the extremely tired physical strength of the Han soldiers has recovered to a greater extent, and their combat power will naturally be strengthened; in the subsequent resistance, their tenacity and resilience will also be improved.  pick up.

    In the past two days, the 'entity' ambush in the open area in front of the camp arranged by Shi Huan has also been further strengthened.  This also made it inevitable that when the Southern Xiongnu cavalry launched another violent attack, they would have to use the cavalry's "filling" and "bedding" to open the way to attack.  Starting everything over means that the time of holding on will be extended several times for the Han army.
