Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2075
Since ancient times, traitors have emerged in endlessly.

In fact, there are countless foreigners who surrendered to me, such as Ashina Simo, Qibi Heli, and Zhao Xin who first surrendered to the Han Dynasty because of defeat in the army, and then surrendered to the Huns after the defeat in the army. The owner is very rare...

Zhao Xin was originally the little king of the Huns, but he was defeated and surrendered to the Han Dynasty. He changed his name to Zhao Xin.

In the third year of Yuanshuo, Shan Yu, a military minister, died, and his younger brother Yi Zhixie Shan Yu succeeded to the throne.The military officer Chanyu Prince Yudan was ashamed to be under him and could not bear the humiliation, so he fled to Han.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty granted him the title of Marquis of Zhi'an.

Yizhixie Shanyu resented the Han for accepting him in Dan, and repeatedly sent troops to Daijun, Yanmen, Dingxiang, Shangjun and other places to plunder.King Youxian of the Xiongnu also used the excuse of the Han Dynasty to attack his "Henan Land", and repeatedly sent troops to invade Shuofang County of the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a man of great talent and strategy, and his empire was strong and his soldiers were good and general, so he decided to send troops to fight back. In 124 BC, the Han envoys Wei Qing, Su Jian, Li Ju, Gongsun He and other generals with more than [-] soldiers attacked the Youxian King. King Youxian was defeated, losing more than [-] men and women, benefiting more than ten kings, and "tens of millions" of livestock.

The results were brilliant.

However, there were also losses. The right general Su Jian and the former general Zhao Xin led more than [-] cavalry, and almost the entire army was wiped out.Su Jianning refused to surrender, and was shown to the public by the owl, while Zhao Xin surrendered to the Huns.

After Yi Zhixie got Zhao Xin, he was in the Han army for a long time and was familiar with the Han army, so he named him "Zici Wang", and his wife and his sister, trying to use him to deal with the Han army.Zhao Xin advised Yi Zhixie to leave the Yinshan area and move to Mobei to lure the Han soldiers to fatigue. North portal.

Seven years later, that is, the fourth year of Yuanshou, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to lead [-] cavalry to divide into two groups and attack in the North Vietnam desert.

Yi Zhixie followed Zhao Xin's strategy and placed elite soldiers in Mobei to wait for work at leisure.

Wei Qing's troops sent troops for more than a thousand li from Dingxiang, and met Yi Zhixie Shanyu.The Han army formed a camp around Wugang chariots and attacked the enemy with five thousand troops.It was dusk, flying sand and dust, and the Han army spread its wings to encircle, the fighting spirit was raging and unstoppable!Yi Zhixie Shanyu saw that the Han soldiers were fine and strong, and was terrified in his heart. He felt that he could not win, so he led his relatives and hundreds of soldiers to break through the encirclement.The Han army chased and killed for hundreds of miles, and arrived at the city of Xin Zhao. Seeing that Xin Zhao had already taken precautions, he led tens of thousands of elite soldiers to line up here, and immediately attacked.

"Seven marches of army chariots, rushed to leisure, encircled Shanyu, climbed north to Yanyan."

Wei Qing broke through Zhao Xin City, but suffered serious damage, so he had to stop here, and the Xiongnu gathered millet to feed the army, while Yi Zhixie Shanyu and Zhao Xin fled back to Mobei in embarrassment.

On the other side, Huo Qubing's troops left the fortress from Dai County, galloped for more than [-] miles, crossed the Gonglu River and fought with King Zuo Xian of the Xiongnu. They also won a complete victory, killing more than [-] people, and smashed the place where the Xiongnu sacrificed to heaven. In Longcheng, the wolf lived in Xu Mountain, and Zen lived in Guyan Mountain, the main peak of Langju Xu Mountain, and returned after climbing the vast sea.

The two armies both won victories, but the results were quite different.

Is it because Wei Qing's ability is not as good as Huo Qubing's?

Naturally not.

Although Wei Qing was not as sharp as Huo Qubing, his marching was always steady, he thought of defeat before victory, and his military ability was even higher than that of Huo Qubing.

The reason why he was not able to achieve the illustrious military exploits that are as glorious as Huo Qubing's "Sealing the Wolf and Living in Xu" is all because of the existence of Zhao Xincheng.

This mountain is built close to the mountain, tightly strangling the pass of Yanyan Mountain. From here, you can go north along the pass of Yudujun Mountain, cross Yanran Mountain, enter the hinterland of Mobei, and reach Longcheng.Although Wei Qing captured Zhao Xincheng, he was exhausted and seriously damaged, so he didn't dare to enter the hinterland of Mobei rashly, in case the remaining Hun cavalry would kill him, and he had to return to the court.

From this we can see how dangerous Xincheng's strategic position is!
Otherwise, Le Shi Yanran might have nothing to do with Dou Xian, so Wei Qing would have done it.

Just imagine, if the two armies strangled Shi Yanran all the way, and sealed the wolves and the Xu Xu all the way, how grand would it be?

*****
You Tunwei headed north all the way, and when they approached Zhao Xincheng, heavy snow began to fall again.

Snow abuse wind gluttonous.

Fang Jun looked at the thicker and thicker clouds in the sky, like snowflakes on a mat, ordered the troops not to stay, and arrived at the foot of Zhao Xin's city in one go, before stationing.

It seems that Xue Yantuo's life is not easy this winter. Even with the heavy snowfall, Mobei is afraid that Mobei has already suffered a white disaster. Outside, it is not without the intention of stabilizing the inside.

The best way to pass on internal conflicts has always been to start a war...

"Marshal, it's Yanyan Mountain in front of me!"

Xue Rengui rode his horse to Fang Jun's side and rode along.

The speed of the horse did not slow down, Fang Jun raised his head, and looked at the mountain ridge in the north through the heavy snow.

As the remaining vein of Yudujun Mountain, Yanyan Mountain is also imposing and majestic, stretching across hundreds of miles.

As the wind and snow swayed, one could see a majestic mountain city standing at a pass in the mountains. If one wanted to enter the hinterland of Mobei, one had to pass through this pass.

"Xin Zhao is shameless, but he still has some talents."

Fang Jun gave a compliment.

Just talking about the site selection of Zhao Xincheng, we can see that Zhao Xin has won the essence of the military of the Han family. For the Huns who have never been proficient in city building, it is simply a wealth bestowed by heaven. No wonder Yizhike Shanyu After Zhao Xin surrendered, he was given such a high official position as "Zi Ci Wang".

Xue Rengui raised his head on horseback, faced the wind and snow, laughed heartily and said: "Even if it is the Dragon Palace and Tianque, in front of the gunpowder of my right guard, it is nothing more than a clay sculpture, a chicken and a dog! Let alone Zhao Xincheng? Handsome, the last general asks for orders, willing to be the vanguard of the army, break through Zhao Xin City within two hours, please drink and sleep in the city tonight!"

Fang Jun narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a while, and said, "Yes!"

Soldiers are very fast.

Since the soldiers came out of the White Road, the Tang army has been carrying out this purpose all the way. The army rushed forward against the wind and snow, and absolutely did not give Xue Yantuo any chance to breathe, calm down and arrange calmly.Right now, Qibi Kele is fleeing all the way, and he must have arrived in Zhao Xincheng, and the city has taken precautions.

But who would have thought that the Tang army would advance thousands of miles, and when they arrived at the city of Xin Zhao, they would not even take a rest, so they suddenly launched an attack?

To be unexpected and to attack the enemy unprepared is the gist of a military strategist's sure victory.

What's more, with firearms in hand, any city in this era is like paper in front of Fang Jun, but it is irresistible to destroy it wantonly!
Taking advantage of Qibi Kele's arrival in Zhaoxin City, the defenders in the city have not yet had time to deploy, and the Hu tribe near Zhaoxin City must have had no time to be recruited to help defend the city. The unexpected attack on the city will definitely disrupt the layout of Xue Yantuo's defenders .

As long as Zhao Xincheng is captured, there is no natural danger to defend the heartland of the barbarians in Mobei. In front of the Tang army with muskets, she will be like a weak little daughter-in-law, bullying and ravaging at will!

Xue Rengui took the order, overtook his soldiers excitedly, rode his horse to speed up, slowly separated from the main force, and marched towards Zhao Xincheng.

How can you not be excited?

As sons of the Han family, Meng Tian, ​​Li Mu, Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, Dou Xian and many other famous generals who have made great achievements in foreign wars have been heroes in their hearts since childhood, and they have been regarded as heroes of lifelong admiration from generation to generation!
Now, in this desolate land covered with ice and snow, there are footprints left by the heroes of the Han family.

Following the footsteps of the heroes of the predecessors, advancing all the way to the confidant of the barbarians, conquering everything, and then reining in Shi Yanran, sealing the wolf and living in Xu...

What could be a nobler pinnacle of life than this?
As long as you step through Yu Dujun's mountain and drink the water of Ma Anhou, even if the horse is shrouded in leather, what's the problem? !
If a man dies, he will die, and his name will go down in history, surpassing Mount Tai!
……

Enter Xin Zhao.

Mushu was dressed in leather armor, his beard and hair fluttered in the cold wind, and there was a constant flow of scouts around him, constantly sending back the battle reports ahead.

Looking at the fiery red color faintly revealed in the wind and snow in the distance, tens of thousands of Tang troops came attacking like lightning, and Nishu was secretly startled.

After raiding for thousands of miles and reaching the city of Xin Zhao, why did they attack the city brazenly without even renovating it?
Is it because the commander-in-chief of the Tang Army was reckless and incompetent, or was he so confident that he never put Zhao Xincheng in his eyes at all?

Thinking of Qibike's warning before leaving, Nishu frowned and waved his hand: "Get ready to fight!"

Tang Jun's decision to attack the city brazenly made him a little passive.Zhao Xin City is located at the foot of Yanyan Mountain, and there are many rivers nearby. In summer, the rivers are full of water and grass, and countless scattered tribes gather on both sides.Originally, he planned to recruit all the young and strong of these tribes to gather in Zhao Xincheng, so as to hinder the Tang army's attack with an absolutely superior force.

There is no need to go out to fight in the city, you only need to guard the city. Before long, the Tang army, who has no supplies, will have to retreat. At that time, he will lead the army to chase after him, and the Tang army will flee like a bereaved dog. It is their burial place!

But I never thought that the Tang army was so brave and fearless, and launched an attack as soon as they arrived at the city...

Ok?
What happened to those cars covered with thick planks?

There was no ladder, no crash, so Tang Jun wanted to break through the impenetrable city of Zhao Xin by relying on these turtle-like things?

Suddenly, Nishu remembered the words Qibi Kele warned him before: Tang Jun has a kind of car, covered with wooden boards, not afraid of rolling wood and rocks, and can easily blow up the city...

Nishu felt uneasy, and ordered decisively: "Immediately use a rope to go down from the city, and destroy these cars to Lao Tzu!"

He didn't understand how Tang Jun blew up the high-walled Wuchuan Town, but since this kind of car appeared so strangely, it must have something to do with it.It doesn't matter if you don't understand Tang Jun's intentions, as long as I destroy a car like yours, it will be fine?
Qibi Kele is really stupid, he can't even think of such a simple solution...
