Chapter 449 Tianchi Battle I
After seven years of living and fighting.
The Western Region Allied Forces under Li Zhongxiang completely got rid of the disgraceful impression of being a mob in the past, relying only on numbers to win. At the same time, because the soldiers came from different countries, their abilities and specialties also varied. When the Allied Forces responded to changes,
There are also multiple levels of choice.
The allied forces, who were familiar with the road conditions, avoided the Huns' scouts by taking a shortcut that was not often taken. Although the few groups of Huns scouts sent forward noticed the approaching danger, they were overwhelmed by the dense Qin crossbow cavalry.
In the face of archery, he can only be hopelessly shot down like wooden stakes.
At dusk.
The Qin army successfully completed the encirclement of the Xiongnu tribe. Luo Jia's army was in the east and Li Zhongxiang's army was in the south, forming a joint attack on the Huns. Tianchi was due north, which left the only way for the Huns to retreat was the west.
One piece.
Surrounded by three towers.
This is the essence of Sun Tzu's art of war in ancient China. This time, the Qin army used this strategy to attack the Huns in two directions, and it was Xiao Li Zhongxiang who proposed this strategy.
——.
Unfavorable news came one after another, and Helianbi, who was immersed in fantasy, finally woke up. Faced with the difficult situation, the last king of the Huns tribe burst out with a strong side.
The war horses neighed loudly.
The Xiongnu soldiers all had ferocious faces, waving their crude weapons and making meaningless shouts. All this, as well as the whistling of the north wind blowing over Tianchi and the sound of flags, formed a picture.
The war is approaching and the earth is shattering, a grand scene.
"Warriors of the Great Huns, raise your war spears, the opportunity for revenge has come." In the battle formation of the Huns, the captains with their shirts bare to the waist shouted loudly to boost morale.
In terms of morale, weapons and equipment, He Lianbi's tribe could not compare with the Qin army. However, in terms of ruthlessness and power, He Lianbi had enough self-confidence.
Under the wolf flag.
Helian Dachanyu, who had just been fully dressed, jumped up on his horse and shouted to the generals on his left and right: "My sons, cheer up. We don't have to be afraid, because we have hostages in our hands. Now, I order those crows to be taken away."
Sun, Daxia's slaves were driven to the front line, and Qin Gou had to choose whether they lived or died, haha——."
Taking Wusun, the prisoners of Daxia, and the people as hostages, forcing the Qin army to restrain their hands, He Lianbi was able to come up with such a vicious plan in a hurry. It must be said that he was indeed one step ahead of Hu Yanxie.
"Da Shanyu has a good idea. If Qin Gou kills these slaves, then they will be regarded as enemies by the Wusun Daxia people. If they cower and do not kill, then our chance will come." Hearing Helianbi's order.
, the Xiongnu generals at all levels became energetic.
Encounter on a narrow road.
Of course Helianbi refused to admit defeat. This was the difference between him and the old Huyanxie. In the same situation, if Huyanxie was commanding the Huns, he would have given the order early and fled quickly, but Helianbi
Otherwise, the first thing he thought about was whether there was any chance of counterattack.
The war situation has changed drastically, but the Huns are not completely without a chance. They do not suffer in terms of the number of troops. In addition, they still have a large number of Wusun Daxia slaves who can be used as hostages. With these human shields, Helianbi is sure that his troops can stabilize the situation.
Steadily seize the initiative in the first wave of offensive.
——.
People are knives and servants, and I am fish and meat.
Thirty thousand Wusun slaves from Daxia were imprisoned in the northwest corner of Tianchi, the lowest lying area. They were all in ragged clothes, had nothing to wear, and looked confused and hopeless.
In the past month, the Huns swept across the Aral Sea Basin, wiping out the Wusun and Daxia kingdoms one after another. Their momentum was so powerful that the people of the Western Regions were frightened. Although they were unwilling to do so, in the face of absolute strength,
I don't dare to have any more resistance.
However, this night, the unusual situation of people in the Xiongnu camp shouting horses neighed, which gave the slaves hope. Among these foreign people, there were some people in green clothes and green robes, with hair crowns on their heads and a cloth tied around their waists.
The poor people were particularly active. Some of their faces were the same as those from the Western Regions, while others clearly looked like Easterners. They walked back and forth among different groups of slaves, asking and telling questions in a low voice.
What.
"Tianshi, are you telling the truth? Is the Qin army really here?" Elder Wusun, who was nearly fifty years old and had a vaguely wealthy look, asked in a trembling voice.
"Of course it's true. Listen to it and take a look. What are the expressions of those Huns now? Are they paralyzed with fear and are about to run away?" The man called Tianshi is strong and round, with curly hair and a slight smile.
His bent legs showed his identity as a real Wusun merchant.
"The Huns are really gone? Master Tian, what do you think we should do?" The captive slaves who were detained in one place looked around in confusion. Soon after, they exclaimed in surprise.
Zhang Liang’s Way of the Heavenly Master.
With Li Yuan's strong support, both financial resources and influence have been greatly strengthened. Especially in the northwest area, a considerable number of Silk Road Hu merchants have joined the Tianshi Tao and soon became a Tianshi. If time is enough,
If so, Tianshi Dao can even replace the power of the secular world and slowly transform the countries on the road to the Western Regions, such as Wusun and Daxia, into tributary countries that yearn for Eastern civilization, allowing the people of these foreign countries to yearn for Da Qin from generation to generation.
The invasion of the Huns disrupted the expectation of Tianshi Dao to grow and develop step by step. Now, this group of slaves are faced with a life-and-death decision. If they don't rebel in anger, they will become cannon fodder in the battle between the two armies.
"Wait a moment, you go contact more tribesmen, and then, follow my orders, as soon as I take action here, you will follow immediately, kill the escorting Huns first, and then, we surrender to Qin——!
"The Heavenly Master's encouraging words seemed full of confidence, which gradually made the suspicious captives calm down.
There will not be many Huns mixed in the slave team. As long as more people are arranged around the escorted Huns, with more than ten people dealing with one person, the Huns can be killed even if they are pressed.
——.
The east bank of Tianchi.
Luo Jia's cavalry formed in front and galloped all the way from Gushi to the Ili Valley. The entire army only took eighteen days. This time was shortened by five days compared with the normal marching speed.
The war is coming.
Luo Jia suddenly made a loud noise, and the area was filled with darkness. Looking from where the Huns were, there were as many as 30,000 to 40,000 people. However, in fact, Helianbi was overthinking. Luo Jia then
Even if they had the ability, they would not be able to bring all the sparse marching troops to the Tianchi.
When the Huns discovered the Qin army, Luo Jia's army actually arrived at Tianchi. In fact, there were only more than 8,000 troops. The rest of the troops were still on the way. If the number of people was full, how could Luo Jia's temperament be so bad?
Waiting for the Huns to gather together, maybe they can charge directly into the Huns' camp.
Luo Jia was bluffing. At this time, if He Lianbi acted quickly and led the main force of the Xiongnu to launch a counterattack, the depleted Luo Jia army would be severely damaged. However, He Lianbi, who was in panic, obviously had no time to think about the Qin army.
If there was any flaw, he put his main focus on self-protection.
After sunset.
The twilight of dusk began to cover the branches.
Subsequent Qin troops arrived one after another. Cao Xin and Ji Xin, who were responsible for the security of the left and right wings of Luo Jia's army, received the news that the main Xiongnu force was found in Tianchi. They traveled day and night and finally reached the battle site before the official war broke out.
In front of the battle between the two armies, groups of Wusun Daxia people who were tied into a string began to be driven slowly towards the direction of the Qin army's formation. These slaves, old and young, seemed to be led together.
The animals are naked, skinny and sallow, which makes people feel extremely miserable.
However, under the cover of dusk, it was not easy for the soldiers of the Qin army to distinguish from a distance whether they were captured civilians or soldiers of the Huns. This was Helianbi's opportunity to defeat the Qin army.
Five hundred steps.
Three hundred steps.
A hundred steps further, they will be within the range of the Qin army's crossbows. At the same time, this distance of two hundred steps is just a charge for the Huns. As long as these slaves consume the Qin army,
Chapter completed!
