It is said that if the Northern Xiongnu had surrendered to the Han Dynasty, they would not have had so many problems. Look at the Han Dynasty after the Xiongnu surrendered, and they did not see any abuse.
It¡¯s just that sometimes integrity matters. The Northern Huns have been holding on for three hundred years, and they can¡¯t surrender no matter what. The Han Dynasty also knew that the Northern Huns would have surrendered long ago, so they wouldn¡¯t have been able to hold on for so many years. .
Therefore, after Zhang Fei and others surrounded more than 3,000 Northern Huns warriors, they had no unnecessary words at all, and those surrounded Northern Huns warriors had no intention of begging for mercy. When the two sides met, there was only one outcome, either you die or I die. !
This is also the case in this continent. The Emperor of Han regarded other foreign invasions as scabies. Only when the orthodox Xiongnu appeared, they would explode no matter how stupid they were.
Because other foreign races have had their backbones broken and admit their weakness from the bottom of their bones, only the Northern Huns have not yet surrendered. A strong body can only be truly powerful if it is matched with a resolute soul and an unyielding backbone.
"On this continent, only the Han Dynasty and the Northern Xiongnu are like this. The other foreign races have at most a strong body, and even more are weak who are not even strong.
However, in a deadly enemy war like the Northern Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty, the fighting spirit of both sides will be very high. In addition, both sides are extremely courageous, and it is basically impossible to be beaten to collapse.
After Xu Bucheng led the Northern Xiongnu headquarters to break out of Zhang Fei's interception, his chest couldn't help but feel tight. He didn't even need to turn around to know how many warriors of his own tribe had been killed under Jicheng.
If it weren't for the fire of Shenpai that separated the coordination of the Northern Xiongnu and Zahu, Xu Bucheng and Luotinghou commanded more than 60,000 Zahu, and they could have suppressed Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Liao by just relying on coordination. After all, both sides The gap in military strength is really too big.
"It's a pity that they suffered a big loss from the trial match first. Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei arrived too timely, and did not give Marquis Luutan and Xu Bocheng time to reorganize. In the end, they could only mess up.
Under such circumstances, there was no way for the Zahu troops led by Xu Bocheng to demonstrate their superiority in strength. Without the unified control of a strong man, the 60,000 Zahu troops could not even defeat the 10,000 Han army. From the moment they came out, they were suppressed and beaten by the four thousand wolf cavalry led by Cheng Lian and others and the white horses led by Zhao Yun.
Even in the later stage, Zhao Yun's white horse was free, and Cheng Lian and others led 4,000 people to fight against the Zahu, who still had 40,000 to 50,000 at that time. Even more exaggerated, even so, Cheng Lian and others actually succeeded in killing all the Zahu was suppressed.
It can be seen from this that without the leadership of the Northern Xiongnu, the combat effectiveness of Karasuma and Xianbei during this period would be inferior to the Han Dynasty.
Not long after Xu Bucheng came out, he noticed Gao Shun behind him. To be honest, he wanted to turn around and go back to kill Gao Shun, but Gao Shun was hanging there three miles away. With an army of nearly ten thousand, it was difficult to mobilize Even Gao Shun was gone.
Although Gao Shun's performance last night must have been based on his eyesight and the proper military spirit army, but how can I put it, no matter how powerful the military spirit army is, it only has a small number of troops. If it really wants to face a large number of elite armies, the numerical advantage will be enough. , the legion's attack is deadly enough.
This is why the Army Soul Legion usually cooperates with other legions to rush forward and break the formation during large-scale legion wars.
War is never a matter of a single elite or a single unit. It is more about coordination. For example, if a unit like Enemy is attacked by dozens of elite units like Guan Yu, it is estimated that only a few of them can survive. There are only a few.
But if there are other elite legions to help cover it, and if there are military soul legions to rush forward and break the formation, even several times the number of elite legions will inevitably be killed due to the collapse of the formation.
Therefore, it is actually a very dangerous thing for a man like Gao Shun, who only led more than 700 people, to hang far behind a force of nearly 10,000 elite cavalry that did not collapse.
If it is a collapsed army, let alone a seven hundred military spirit army, even seven hundred miscellaneous soldiers would dare to pursue it. However, in the battle of Jicheng, although the Northern Huns were defeated, no matter from which angle, the Northern Huns could not be seen. A defeated army means collapse.
"Forget it, forget it, evacuate Youzhou first. Shanyu should have integrated most of the barbarians on the prairie, and we need to give Shanyu an explanation for this matter." Xu Bucheng looked at it bitterly. Taking a look at Gao Shun, who was far away, he turned around and said to Dang Hu.
"Don't value the horse power of the scout cavalry. The scope of the reconnaissance cavalry will be expanded to fifteen miles." Xu Bucheng ordered another person. This is a cavalry march. In this case, the scope of the reconnaissance cavalry will be expanded to fifteen miles. Regarding the horse power of the scout cavalry, It's a huge consumption, but it also shows Xu Bucheng's experience and caution.
"Kong Ming, there is a scout cavalry approaching, do you want to kill it?" Li Tong asked carefully. Because he was in the formation, he could see that the scout cavalry of the Northern Huns had approached them.The army is fifty steps away.
Speaking of which, Zhuge Liang was actually the strategist of this army. However, Li Tong was really embarrassed to call a 16-year-old hairless young man his strategist. Of course, Zhuge Liang didn't pursue it too much. There is no way to pursue this kind of thing. It can only be the original Fa-rectification.
"No, he is different from you. He will definitely not notice it. You know there are soldiers and horses here, so you will notice it." Zhuge Liang said calmly, but he clenched his hands unconsciously.
At this time, according to Zhuge Liang's request, the ambush a few miles away once again showed up with a military flag. Although it was pressed down instantly, it was still noticed by the Northern Huns' reconnaissance cavalry. The three reconnaissance cavalry immediately paid attention. Moved ten miles away.
Soon, under the high attention of the three people, the ambush several miles away was identified. On the contrary, Zhuge Liang, who was right in front of him, ambushed the soldiers dozens of steps away on both sides of the road, but none of the scouts noticed it. Later, these scouts No longer moving forward, he turned his horse's head and prepared to return to camp.
After all the scouts came back, Xu Bucheng was obviously relieved. What he was most worried about was that the Han army would ambush him on his way back. It can be said that as long as one scout did not come back, Xu Bucheng would choose to give up and go to Youzhou. The idea of ??accelerating the return of officialdom.
"Hmph, it seems that the Han army who followed me was the subordinate of the black-faced leader, and the Han army probably didn't expect that I would directly follow their official path. ¡¿Xubucheng felt slightly relieved, but when he saw the soldiers behind him, he couldn't help but feel a little bitter.
"Report, King Sun Zhu, our reconnaissance cavalry discovered the Han army fifteen to twenty miles ahead. Because the distance was too far, we could not identify the people at close range. It is estimated to be between three thousand to five thousand, mostly infantry. and archers." The commander of the reconnaissance cavalry reported to Xubucheng what the three reconnaissance cavalry found in the front.
Xu Bucheng raised his eyebrows, and there was a trace of cruelty in his expression. He didn't take any advantage last night, and even defeated Marquis Luutan. If he killed these ambushers, he would be able to give an explanation to Shan Yu.
