Sweep the World

In most wars, there is not much fancy in the battle between the two armies. Some are just that the two armies know each other's existence. After a series of small-scale trials, the two armies finally meet face to face, and then fight.

The reason why a few wars become legends is that the special circumstances or the commanders of individual parties are too stupid. It is just that they are too rare to become legendary battles.

It is necessary to understand a convention that only the more difficult things to do, the more worthy of a big book, and only the more precious will be repeatedly advocated and mentioned. If everyone can do it, who would record or describe it specifically, It's as if no one would write a special article on how to breathe.

Liu Rui didn't think he was a rare military genius in a century, and he couldn't play a battle where the opponent had already widely deployed sentries and scouts, and could still approach and attack silently. He would also not pin his hopes on the premise that the enemy commander was stupid enough to imagine that the enemy would forget to set up a guard post or not send a scout if he took the initiative to attack.

Without making any jokes, taking Huo Qubing, the famous general who is best at fighting assault warfare, as an example, he is definitely the genius who commanded cavalry operations in Zhuxia history. However, what was the premise for him to succeed repeatedly? The Huns at that time did not believe that the Han army could play a thousand-mile raid, let alone that the Han army knew the way to the grassland. I didn’t expect the Han army to know where they moved to graze. With the above prerequisites, he will be able to succeed in repeated attacks. But he also had examples of failed raids. All those failed examples were discovered in advance, and the suddenness of the raid could not be achieved without concealment, and there was no need to fight again.

In the early stage of the Han-Hungarian War, the Han army could still play for thousands of miles. After waiting for Huo Qubing to do a few sensational careers, the Huns had a vigilant mind and the Han army had no chance again, and the war between the two sides entered a period of attrition. , A dozen is one or two hundred years.

"Enemy reconnaissance cavalry has appeared around our army." Fan Jin, as the commander of the army, handles all kinds of intelligence. He has just received a report from the scout camp, and there have been several western reconnaissance cavalry nearby: "The enemy is quite cautious. !"

They have marched west for more than ten miles, about fifteen miles away from the area where the enemy forwards set up their camps. At this time, the enemy's scout cavalry appeared, and more than one thing was discovered. It can only be said that the commander of the Western Regions attaches great importance to the observation of the surrounding enemy.

The Han army has already noticed that there is a three-way enemy army. It is still unclear who the coalition commander of the Western Regions is, and no one knows the command of the three-way army, but roughly knows the composition of the enemy army.

"There is no shortage of horses here in the Western Regions? Five thousand enemy troops have three thousand cavalry." Liu Rui led ten thousand people into the battle. There were only two thousand cavalry in the team, and the rest were infantry: "They have more cavalry. Go forward another five miles. Let's stop, set up a formation, and continue to advance in a formation."

In fact, there is no shortage of horses in Han, that is, high-quality war horses are basically mastered by the standing army, especially the most high-quality war horses of the Tiger and Armies in armor and riding gear.

For semi-official and semi-civilian military organizations such as the Western Regions Corps, there will be some high-quality war horses, but the number is really quite small, and there is no special standard harness, and the knights rarely have the armor and weapons that can keep up with the times. Cavalry does not exist, even if it is a cavalry, it is a very traditional light cavalry.

What is light cavalry? It is the Mongolian horse as the main war horse. Stirrups and saddles are available, but they are not professional. Then the knights may have armor, but they can't make the battle, especially to attack the dense infantry phalanx. They can only fight one. Fighting cruising or something.

In fact, the prairie cavalry is a type of light cavalry. It may focus on knights capable of riding and shooting to prepare a special archer, but more prairie cavalry are the kind that can't even rush into a dense infantry formation.

If the light cavalry really hardened their hearts and charged, they would definitely hit their heads in front of the infantry formation, and they would be taught to behave with bows and arrows before they even rushed. Their battles with infantry have always been cruising, using their mobility to constantly harass and attack the infantry’s food passage, use movement to pull and drag down the infantry, and occasionally seize the opportunity of the infantry before they have time to organize the army to kill and kill. Something.

The infantry faced the light cavalry, and the infantry was never in vain. I hope the light cavalry can attack their army. The advantage of the cavalry over the infantry is not to rush into the formation, but to fight and run if they want to fight. The disadvantage of the infantry over the light cavalry is that the victory is usually a small victory, but if it loses, it will be chased and killed when it collapses.

Of course, the Western Region Allied Forces discovered the attacking Han army, and the intelligence of the reconnaissance cavalry was quickly sent back.

"About 10,000 of the Han army. About 2,000 cavalry, and the rest are infantry." Rorschach heard the name of a Han, but in fact it was a white skin with blond hair and blue eyes. people. He is from Qiuci and is the commander of the coalition's five thousand forwards: "There is basically a grassland along the way. There is no environment for hiding and setting up an ambush. They must also know this."

Fighting a large-scale ambush in the grassland is a cold joke. Not only the grassland people know this, but anyone who has enough knowledge of the grassland knows it.

The people in the tent waited for Rorschach to finish speaking and looked at a yellow-skinned, black-haired but blue-eyed middle-aged man named Chi Zhelu.

Chizhelu is a Huns with one-eighth of Han descent. Like many Huns living in the Western Regions, they are actually horse thieves who are active in the Gobi and grasslands with a group of people. People like them have long stopped thinking of themselves as Huns because their ancestry is so messy, and then they are in a complex area and have received too much culture. They really don't have any obvious characteristics, and they are gradually called Tiefu people.

There are many Tiefu people who are targeted. Generally, they were born in the grassland in the paternal line, but they combined with women from other regions or ethnic groups to give birth to mixed-race children. Another type of Tiefu is a man who has married a prairie woman. The prairie calls his son-in-law also Tiefu.

Tiefu is currently a general term, used to refer to individuals as well as certain tribes. The Tiefu tribe, which is not yet an important role, if history has not been changed, a huge force has been created later, and Helian's prosperous background is a certain Tiefu tribe.

Who is Helianbobo? It was the Tiefu tribe of the Hun whose real name was Liu Bobo. After his rise, he played in building the city. It was the Tongwan City whose inspection project was deemed inappropriate to kill a large group of people.

The various Tiefu people or Tiefu tribes nowadays are regarded as various tribes of scum and thieves. Chizheru appeared in the camp of the coalition army, and it was the Kucha people who paid for his entire team of horse thieves. He himself is very familiar with this area, and then he has a good command of cavalry.

"Nothing to say, give me a thousand cavalry." Chi Zhelu stood up when he spoke, "Try the Han army's strength, and then decide how to deal with it next."

Rorschach did not hesitate, and decided: "In addition to your headquarters, I will give you a thousand cavalry." Then he looked at a white-skinned man with brown hair: "This is the border of Shanshan, you should be dispatched. The rest. The cavalry...then dispatched the Sogdians."

Shanshan is Gu Loulan. The lips of the person named moved moved, obviously with hesitation, but he dared not object.

Shanshan, as a country, has long existed in name only. They were after the Han people's influence in the Western Regions declined and left. Because of the incomparable cooperation of the Han people in the Western Regions, they were ravaged countless times by neighboring countries. The king was slaughtered. The city-states and tribes below stand on their own feet. Until now, there has not been a recognized king, and only 1,000 people have been drawn into the coalition, of which there are only 300 cavalry.

There is currently no country called Sogdian in the Western Regions. As a country Sogdian has perished in the Western Han Dynasty. However, the Sogdians are still extremely active in the Western Regions. The beautiful Sogdians are the most popular, and the males are basically horse thieves.

The so-called Sogdians are actually one of the "Nine Zhaowu surnames". They can still be active in the Western Regions after the demise of a country. The reason is that the Sogdians in the Western Regions come from a plateau farther west, and they are actually Iranians.

Chi Zhelu refused to command Shanshan and Sogdian cavalry for the first time.

As long as they stay in the Western Regions, they will be familiar with Shanshan and Sogdians. The soft-footed shrimp that Shanshan is famous for, and the Sogdians are simply famous for all kinds of Ji. Anyway, they are not a warrior nation.

"The old rules, what rewards should be, what rewards should be." Rorschach was talking about the reward offered by the heads of Han Chinese by Rorschach. He looked at Chi Zhelu with a smile, and said, "If you can win, there will be another reward."

Qiuci is rich, very, very rich. They offered rewards to the heads of the Han people. Not only did they attract countless horse thieves, they also attracted a large group of surrounding tribes. Otherwise, how could the coalition force exceed ten? Million people?

Chizheru went out of the military tent, called Agapa and Labadi, frowned and said, "I will not deliberately consume your manpower. Don't pick anyone."

Agapa laughed with him: "I will definitely choose the most elite fighter."

Labadi shrugged his shoulders and said nothing. Although these Sogdians are horse thieves in the Western Regions, they also attack some small tribes and small caravans (people), and they really don't touch any hardships. They are only incidentally doing horse thieves, and their job is actually to sell female slaves.

Chi Zhelu looked at the back of the two leaving, frowning deeply. He has one-eighth of Han ancestry. When the Han people ruled the Western Regions, they actually took advantage of it. The area of ​​activity is in the Shanshan border. He is very clear about the urination of Shanshan. He didn't come into contact with many Sogdians, but just knowing that the Sogdians are known for pimping business, really wouldn't expect much from the Sogdian cavalry.

It took more than three hours from the time the order was given to the completion of the manpower assembly, so the sky was already dark.

"Go!" Chi Zhelu is the leader of horse thieves, who is good at activities in the dark. He urged Agapa and Labadi who were following on one side: "Let your team follow up."

The horse thief of Chizhelu has more than two hundred cavalry, including three hundred Shanshan cavalry and seven hundred Sogdian cavalry, and the total is more than one thousand two hundred cavalry.

To say that there is no shortage of horses in the Western Regions, it depends on who they are. Chi Zhelu and the horse thieves are relatively good. One person is equipped with at least two horses. Most of them also have a leather armor. Most of the guys in their hands are also iron tools; Shan Shan was influenced too much by the Han family. The cavalry were all wearing uniform colored uniforms, but each only had a war horse under the buttocks. There were few people wearing armor, and there were all kinds of guys in their hands. Even more chaotic were the Sogdian cavalry. The seven hundred cavalry dressed in chaos looks colorful, some have only one horse, and some have as many as four.

Chi Zhelu must understand what the quality of the Shanshan cavalry and the Sogdian cavalry is. He discovered that the famous and weak Shanshan cavalry can guarantee the order of the team when marching, and the Sogdian cavalry can only use one "chaos". "The word to describe.

[After all, I have received training from the regular Han Chinese army, so I still have some foundation to some extent. Chi Zhelu knows that what Shanshan people cannot do is their mentality, that is, they lack self-confidence. He didn't have much hope for the Sogdian cavalry at first: [Horse thief is like this, the Sogdian horse thief is also the worst of the horse thief. 】

"General, we..." Agapa frequently looked around in the dark, his ears were full of horseshoes: "Is he going to attack the Han army in the dark?"

"Assault?" Chi Zhelu showed a joke, but Agapa couldn't see it in the dark: "That is the Han army reunifying the'Central Kingdom'. The Jie people were killed clean, Xianbei people. Was killed and fled to the ice field, thinking it was the army of the Western Regions?"

Agapa asked in an unintelligible tone: "Then we marched overnight?"

"To reunify the army of the'central country', it is impossible that there is no security around us. Maybe there are scouts of the Han army around us spying ~ www.wuxiax.com~ Chi Zhelu is the most powerful direction of the Han army. I thought, I didn't intend to conceal my intentions: "Don't even think about any surprise or sneak attack. What we can do is the old custom, cruising and looking for opportunities to come all of a sudden, can kill a few counts. Most of the Han army are infantry. If they are too arrogant, they might be able to eliminate the Han army that is pursuing them. "

Arapa immediately breathed a sigh of relief. What he was afraid of was that Chi Zhelu was going to confront the Han army head-on.

"That should be the case." Labadi doesn't care if the Han army will come close to his camp and open the battle. He said: "We are here for the bounty. It is enough to be able to gain more safely. Don't be stupid to fight head-on."

Of course Chi Zhelu knew that such a style of play was very frustrating, at best it would slow down the marching speed of the Han army a little bit, but they were facing the Han army.

"I heard that the general has Han ancestry?" Agapa lowered his voice: "The Han people could easily sweep the entire Western Regions hundreds of years ago. Although they were weak for a while, they have now annihilated the Jie people and are fighting again. It must be difficult for the clan to flee."

Chizhelu raised his brows, but he knew that the Shanshan tribes had united and sent people to the east, and he had to guess what Agapa meant by those words.
