The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 579
As soon as Li Yunze said this, both Han Fu and Chen Xin showed dissatisfaction.

From Bai Dengshan to the present, the Han army has fought against the Huns for so many years, and there are so many famous generals, no one dares to say that he will definitely win.

The king in front of him is still young and speaks big words, so he doesn't like it.

Li Yunze's gaze was like a torch, so he could naturally see the changes in the mentality of the two of them from the subtle expressions and movements.

But he didn't rush to explain anything, and he didn't pat his chest and say, "I have historical experience that can be used for reference. I beat the Huns on horseback into sand sculptures." '

Because he is very clear that this kind of thing does not need to be explained, only practice can prove everything.

Those who fight with their mouths are called Chukeke, and those who fight with their mouths.

Li Yunze had a lot of guts, he wasn't satisfied with attacking the Huns piecemeal, and planned to attack the Huns piecemeal, with the goal of besieging Chengle's Aries.

This is a large Hun tribe that can mobilize tens of thousands of horses to the limit.

It is not enough to rely on more than a thousand soldiers and horses under his command, first of all, he must get the command of the two people in front of him.

Under normal circumstances, it is absolutely impossible for the captain of the frontier army to accept the command of the king of Fengguo. This is a matter of losing his head.

But now, there is an opportunity to take advantage of it.

"This king is willing to vouch for the two generals."

Li Yunze cut off a piece of mutton, and stuck it into his mouth with a short knife, "The reason why the two captains lost their time is because they were recruited by this king to fight against the Huns."

Hanbok and Chen Xin showed joy at the same time.

Failure to arrive at the agreed place within the agreed time is called delay in the military.

According to military law, this is to lose your head.

As for paying a fine to lower the penalty, it didn't become popular until Liu Che came to power, because Liu Che needed money to fight the war.

Even now there are, but what are their identities?They are just ordinary school lieutenants in the frontier army, the emperor will give them this chance to survive?If Cheng Le really fell, he would dare to talk about his survival if he failed as a reinforcement and would not lead to the fall of an important place?

Taking a step back, even if they could live by paying the fine, where did they get the money to pay the fine?

It's not enough to sell the whole family.

Now, the Zhongshan King in front of them really gave them a chance.

Theoretically, if King Zhongshan is willing to shoulder the responsibility, then their guilt will be reduced a lot.

In addition to his status as the king of the country, King Zhongshan also has the status of the emperor's prince.They failed to protect the prince, at least there was a reason.This is much better than the reason why the march was slow and lost because they couldn't beat the Huns.

The premise is that King Zhongshan must shoulder the responsibility, and this responsibility is very likely to lead to King Zhongshan being deposed and expelled from the country!

Leading troops out of the fief without permission, and even daring to recruit frontier troops, what is the difference between this damn and a rebellion.

Li Yunze didn't urge him either, it was up to the two of them to make a decision.

After weighing the pros and cons and making eye contact, Hanbok and Chen Xin naturally chose to obey the king's orders.

This is to throw the blame on Li Yunze, and the court's stick will have to be the tall king first.

"Respect the king's order~~~"

Li Yunze didn't say much, and immediately responded, "Immediately kill the sheep, slaughter the cows, bury the pot and make food. The master in the army took the captives to cut down trees, and the artisans with the army led people to build the planks of the cart. All the bowmen and crossbow arrows in the army all concentrated"

One by one, one after another, the orders were issued quickly, and the arrangements were extremely orderly.

Hanbok and Chen Xinxin were startled secretly, this king is very experienced, he is just like a border general who has led troops for many years.

Now that he took over the command, Li Yunze stopped talking nonsense with them, and directly arranged things as a subordinate.

The first is to clean up the battlefield, slaughter cattle and sheep and arrange meals for the soldiers. This is related to the morale of the soldiers and cannot be sloppy.

After eating and drinking enough, Li Yunze announced to everyone that he was rewarded.

It's still the old rule, two coins per person, and one bolt of silk.

As soon as these words came out, there were thunderous cheers, and the morale of the Han army immediately rose.

Of course, the money and silk Li Yunze brought from Zhongshan Kingdom and the money and silk seized from the Huns were basically used up.

Now the spoils are only tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses.

Looking at the cattle and sheep, Li Yunze ordered without the slightest hesitation, "Except for the cattle and horses pulled, all the extra ones should be slaughtered."

Everyone was very sorry, and Zhao Yan couldn't help dissuading, "You can't do it, the king, the head of the cow is at least [-] yuan, and the head of the sheep can get [-] yuan."

Li Yunze looked at him coldly, "Drag it down and hit him with ten sticks."

Looking around at the many officers above the head of the village, "Who else doubts the king's military order?"

Everyone was solemn, and no one dared to say a word.

In the army, on the battlefield, in wartime!

At this time, the command of the chief general, if you don’t carry it out, say it or say it’s necessary, if you don’t cut it off, you are already dead.

"Build a large cart with wooden boards." Li Yunze continued to order, "Put the wooden boards upright and nail them to the side of the cart, with holes in the wooden boards for shooting. The carts are divided into two teams, Captain Han and Captain Chen. Bows and crossbows Carry a lot of crossbows in your hand, and shoot and kill the Hun cavalry when they approach,

No matter how far away.The master and the rest of the ministries, guarding food, supplies, and horses marched in the middle of the convoy."

This is the reason why you don't bring extra cattle and sheep, because the space is not enough to hold so many.

And Li Yunze's tactic was indeed his first in this era.

It's just that he also referred to the historical battle where Liu Yu destroyed Nanyan.

Facing Nanyan, which was almost full of cavalry, Liu Yu, who was mainly infantry, used this van tactic to force the cavalry to be unable to harass him. He went all the way to the capital of Nanyan, forcing the cavalry to face off, The result is that the Nanyan Murong family directly destroys the country

!

The biggest advantage of cavalry attacking infantry is that they come over like a gust of wind and shoot arrows.

The appearance of the van can effectively block the shooting of bows and arrows, and naturally it also breaks the technique of harassment.

Once the harassment fails, the soldiers of the Han army have nothing to fear, and they can just move forward quickly and approach their destination.

When Qi Jiguang sent troops outside the Great Wall, he also used a similar van, except that the bows and crossbows were replaced with artillery and muskets.

There is no doubt that this is a tactic that has stood the test of time against cavalry.

At noon the next day, traces of Huns cavalry appeared again nearby.

Li Yunze didn't respond, he just urged the army to move forward.

The Huns cavalry who were watching from a distance were obviously a little puzzled, because they had never seen this kind of chariot formation before.

However, the harassment was unavoidable. This Han army was obviously going for Chengle, so they naturally wanted to stop it.

This is the cloud plain, the terrain is open and flat, very suitable for cavalry operations.

More than a dozen Hun cavalry rushed down from a slope with shouts, each holding a soft bow, and planned to get closer and shoot arrows at the convoy to cause chaos.

The industrial level of the Huns is very low, they don't have the technology to make crossbows, and the bows and arrows are also weak, and they have to get close to about [-] steps before they can release the arrows.

But when they approached forty or fifty steps away, there was a "buzzing" sound in the Han army convoy with wooden walls, and more than a hundred crossbow arrows flew out, killing the Huns in an instant. People are enveloped.

There was no surprise at all, not even armored. The Huns screamed and fell to the ground with their horses and men.

A group of Han cavalry rushed out from behind the convoy and rushed to the place where the Huns fell.

The cavalry repaired the wounded Huns, recovered the crossbow bolts, and then rode back to the convoy.

The Huns who watched from a distance were taken aback. They had never seen such a tactic before.

Baichang, who led the team, had his scalp numb and was terrified.

Although the losses in the battle with the Han army have always been huge, the fact that even a few soldiers and horses disappeared so lightly really shocked him.

The chiefs and chiefs under him are all looking at him.

"Separate and charge!" The order the hundred commander received from the accountant was to harass the Han army in the wild, and it was impossible not to continue the combat operations.

However, changes still need to be made. "Be farther away, don't go into the range of a hundred steps."

Hundreds of Hun cavalry roared down the slope, divided into two teams and shouted back and forth on both sides of the convoy to harass them.

"Leave them alone." Li Yunze on horseback shouted and ordered, "Go ahead."

That is to say, the Han army was well trained, after all, it was a frontier army, and Li Yunze personally trained the troops of Zhongshan Kingdom, so they were able to carry out orders and continue to go west regardless.

As for the masters, they were all from the rural villages in the frontier land, and their organization was not bad.

Only those Huns who were captured, old and weak, were in constant commotion.

Li Yunze looked at Hanbok, and Hanbok, who had understood it, drew his sword immediately, and rushed into the old and weak Huns with his own soldiers, beheading all those who were making a fuss.

The turmoil that had not yet developed quickly subsided.

The harassing Huns kept leaving corpses on the ground after seeing the huge convoy moving forward.

In doubt, he stepped forward to check, but realized that it was one of his own.

Immediately, furious cavalry rushed up, but they would be shot and killed as soon as they approached.

The strong crossbow of the Han Dynasty had an epoch-making technological innovation, that is, the watch mountain was installed on the strong crossbow.

Wangshan is an improved sight with five scales and half-degree reticles between each degree. The shooting accuracy is very high.

Uh, this thing was excavated by archaeologists in later generations, and it was found from the tomb of King Jing of Zhongshan.
As long as you get within fifty paces, there will be a crossbow shooting through the shooting holes in the wooden wall, and from time to time, the Hun cavalry will scream and fall to the ground.

Li Yunze drew his bow and set his arrows, and fired several rounds of arrows in rapid succession, overturning more than ten horses one after another.

I saw him put away his strong bow, and called to the cavalry around him, "Go out and chop them all down!"

These Huns are too big.

There are only a hundred people, and they dare to attack and harass the Han army brigade with thousands of people. This is too contemptuous of the Han army's cavalry.

Li Yunze brought more than a hundred cavalry from Zhongshan Kingdom, and Wu Gao and Wu Yao also had more than two hundred cavalry, that's almost four hundred cavalry.

When the Huns noticed something was wrong, the four hundred cavalry rushed out from the front and back, chasing and killing the Huns cavalry.

There was no surprise in the result of the battle. Except for a few cavalry who escaped from a long distance, the rest of the Huns were all beheaded.

After that until dark, no Huns came to harass them.

When I set up camp, I calculated that I had traveled more than [-] miles in one day, which was a huge difference from the less than [-] miles in the previous ten days.

The reason is also very simple, all the luggage is on the car.

There are a large number of old and weak Xiongnu left behind on the road, and no one will care about them.

Setting up a camp is also very simple, just enclose the van, set up traps, dig ditches and arrange bundled guns and antlers outside, and then arrange open posts and secret posts, lurking posts, swimming posts, etc.

Li Yunze, who was sitting by the fire with a map, did some calculations and came up with the result.

"According to this speed, you can reach Wujin the day after tomorrow, and you can reach Chengle County in two days!"
