Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 282 Temptation 1
The news that Gongsun Xu led the army to the north to support the camp of the Northern Xinjiang Army was quickly inquired by the Xiongnu spies, and they passed the news to the Xiongnu Shanyu as quickly as possible. Way to inquire about the team led by Gongsun Xu in many ways.

Since 15 frontier troops guarded the periphery, it was impossible for the Xiongnu cavalry to intercept Gongsun Xu's army, and they could not find out how many people there were temporarily. However, after two days, they passed the customs and observed the army's march. In terms of quantity, Gongsun Xu's army should be no less than [-]. After finding out this information, the Xiongnu spies passed the news back.

The Xiongnu Shanyu sent back a message to let them continue to inquire, and they must find out the situation.

After another day passed like this, some of the Xiongnu spies managed to break through the surveillance of the Xuanfeng Army and approached the army for inspection. As a result, judging from the tents and flags, the number of troops led by Gongsun Xu was only 6 to 10,000, which was far less than that of the army. [-]+.

At the same time, a few Xiongnu spies who were not afraid of death even went to test the [-] cavalry leading the battle, only to find that these two men could not be called cavalry at all, at most they were infantry on horses.

These 2 people just passed the level of riding skills, but for the elite Hun warriors, this kind of riding skills is just like a three-year-old child on a war horse, not to mention the more difficult riding skills such as riding and shooting and charging on horseback. In general, such cavalry is vulnerable.

If it weren't for the fact that these cavalry were more equipped than ordinary Hun cavalry, these spies would have given lower scores. In their eyes, among the troops of the Northern Frontier Army, only the Xuanfeng Army and the White Robe Army could truly be called cavalry troops Army, because these two cavalry units are close to light cavalry, especially the white robe army.

After evading the pursuit of the Xuanfeng army, the Xiongnu spies passed the news to Shan Yu, and also described in detail the marching speed of Gongsun Xu's troops and the combat effectiveness of the leading cavalry. In my own opinion, [-] Xiongnu warriors can completely defeat the [-] cavalry of the Northern Xinjiang Army who took the lead.

At the same time, the commander also brought back an important piece of news, that is, the combat power of the selected front army has not weakened, but their defense is not as tight as before. The distance from the roundup, all of this shows one thing, the selection of the forward army seems to be downsizing.

The Xiongnu Shanyu soon sent news that he wanted the people here to keep an eye on Gongsun Xu, and at the same time, he must find out the situation of the selection of the forward army, and must determine the number of troops.

After another day of investigation, the Xiongnu spies came to the conclusion that Gongsun Xu's elite ace pick-up army had a maximum of 2 soldiers. Although they didn't know why, the number of pick-up soldiers in this army did not exceed 2. .

Moreover, after tracking for a few days, the Xiongnu spies found that although the Northern Xinjiang army would leave 10,000+ earthen stoves when marching, many of them were just for show, and they were not used at all. However, the Xiongnu spies hadn't noticed this anomaly yet, but after tracking them for a few days, they found that many earthen stoves were showing their feet.

After obtaining the information, the leader of the Xiongnu spies, that is, a commander, appointed someone to continue to keep an eye on the Northern Xinjiang Army, and at the same time sent someone to send the information back overnight.

In the past two days, Xiongnu Shanyu's life has not been very easy. After all, he has not fallen once or twice in the hands of Gongsun Xu. Although he made an accurate analysis at the meeting last time, he is afraid that Gongsun Xu will suddenly What a trick.

You can't be careless, Gongsun Xu is too insidious, he can always stab himself when he is not paying attention.

As the news of the past few days continued to come in, Xiongnu Shanyu gradually verified his conjecture. He now dared to conclude that Gongsun Xu encountered serious trouble when he went to pacify the Black Mountain Army. Probably only 1 people came back.

As for whether the remaining 1 people died or were left behind, it is still uncertain. Of course, with the elite of the front line, the possibility of [-] dying in battle is very small. Gongsun Xu stayed behind to keep an eye on the Montenegro Army, so Gongsun Xu now has at most [-] forward troops.

As for the other troops, the Xiongnu Shanyu also asked the spies, and they described their personal experience to Shanyu. Among the troops led by Gongsun Xu, except for the selection of the vanguard, Hana, the rest of the troops looked like improvised pieces. .

The [-] cavalry in the front army couldn't even march in formation. They were in a mess when they marched. If there were no vanguards to open the way in front, this group of people still don't know what kind of chaos they would have. As for the infantry However, although they are all the standard equipment of the Northern Border Army and try to march in accordance with the formation of the Northern Border Army, their marching speed betrays them.

Even the marching speed of the new army of the Northern Xinjiang Army could not be only fifty miles a day. Moreover, the Xiongnu spies also told the Xiongnu Shanyu that it was sixty miles in the first two days, and then it became fifty miles later.

Based on the information from various sources, the Xiongnu Shanyu felt that the northern border army was relatively weak, and that Gongsun Xu didn't have that many reserve troops. The current army was most likely composed of some newly recruited civilians, and then mixed with it. Some Wuyuan defenders are formed. Simply put, such troops have relatively low combat effectiveness.

In fact, in the past battles with the Han people, the Huns encountered such situations. Most of the Han infantry were newly recruited civilians. They had just put down their hoes and didn’t even know how to use a knife. Always bring such a person to the battlefield to die.

It's not that the Huns are just bragging. Facing such an enemy, one Hun warrior can fight at least three. If the former army of such an army is defeated, the Hun warrior can simply reap human lives without any scruples.

However, for the sake of safety, the Xiongnu Shanyu still decided to test the combat effectiveness of this army. Moreover, Gongsun Xu is also close to this side, and there are only two or three days left. If he does not go to test it now If not, it will be troublesome when Gongsun Xu launches a fierce attack.

After thinking about it, the Xiongnu immediately recruited their cronies and subordinates to discuss the matter of testing Gongsun Xu. In the end, everyone recommended that Tie Kun lead the army to fight again. In terms of military strength, the Xiongnu Shanyu secretly ordered another 2 troops to be transferred from the camp.

Moreover, in order to ensure that they would not be disturbed by the selection of front troops when testing the enemy, the Xiongnu Shanyu transferred 4 to Tie Kun from the [-] elite personal guards. At the same time, he repeatedly told Tie Kun that the [-] The personal guards are used to restrain the front-running army, not to smash them to death.

If it wasn't because Tie Kun was his own brother and he could be trusted, Xiongnu Shanyu would not have handed over his personal guards to him. You know, even if the Huns had hundreds of thousands of cavalry, as the Huns Shanyu, He only has [-] such elites in his hands, and he is definitely comparable to the Northern Xinjiang Frontier Army.

Tie Kun led 4 people and set off after taking the order. The cavalry was very fast, especially on this grassland, one or two hundred miles was only an hour or two. At that time, the Xiongnu spies immediately reported that the enemy troops had already begun to line up.

At this moment, Tie Kun summoned the left and right Guduhou and several thousand commanders and said: "The enemy army is arrayed in front, we should give them a surprise attack while the enemy army is in formation, Zuoguduhou, you rate ten thousand The elite soldiers will attack from the left, and the Marquis on the right will attack from the right with another [-] elite soldiers. As Shan Yu said, you are the elite of hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu warriors. Shan Yu strictly ordered me not to interfere with your battle.

Next, you command by yourself, you have to be careful, there are also 2 people in the selection front, they are really ruthless characters, don't fight hard with them, understand? "

"Don't worry, Zuo Xianwang, Shan Yu has explained to us." After finishing speaking, the Marquis of Left and Right Bone immediately led his troops to leave.

Tie Kun looked at several thousand commanders around him and said: "The Han people are weak, how can they compare with our Hun warriors, Juquda, Wanqizhan, you two will lead two thousand-man teams to tentatively attack the enemy's former cavalry If you encounter strong resistance, you can retreat on your own, but you must show the prestige of my Hun warriors.

"No." After receiving the order, the two immediately went to cheer up their subordinates, and they had to attack later. Now they must boost their morale.

Half an hour later, there was a burst of horns from the Northern Army. It seemed that the Marquis of the Left and Right Gudu had already launched an attack. Tie Kun was not willing to lose. He immediately commanded the army to move forward, and after a while, he saw the Northern Army from afar. The shadow of the frontier army.

This time, the northern army had no chariots to rely on, so they could only form a formation on the plain to resist. It is [-] cavalry.

Tie Kun led his men to line up [-] paces away. At this time, the Marquis of the Left and Right Gudu had already attracted the forward troops on the two wings of the northern border army. In order to prevent the Huns cavalry from approaching him, Gongsun Xu had to order the forward troops to attack the enemy. The cavalry carried out the expulsion.

The left and right flanks dispatched [-] frontier troops each, and the Huns cavalry were also very bad. Opportunity for the striker to get close.

Due to the hasty fight, it is impossible for the frontier army to maintain the equipment of one man and three cavalry. Moreover, Gongsun Xu also specially ordered the frontier army to keep one man and one cavalry for the time being. Ten miles away from the formation.

Tie Kun has been observing the formation of the Northern Army. Up to now, whether it is the infantry of the Northern Army or the cavalry in front, the formation is messy, which is far from the Northern Army encountered in the first battle. .

Tie Kun will not give enough opportunities and time to the northern border army. Shanyu's personal guards don't know if he can restrain the selection front army. He must seize this opportunity to test the combat effectiveness of the northern border army. Looking back, there is no such a good opportunity.

On the northern border army's position, the soldiers hadn't fully formed their formation, and many pikemen and sword-shieldmen in the infantry couldn't even find their place.
