Chapter 294
"Rare, kill! Brothers, hurry up." Zhang Han waved his sabre to inspire the soldiers to fight bravely to fight the enemy.
Under his inspiration, the soldiers were desperate. The Long Live Qin war roar echoed in the sky. The soldiers rushed over like a tide, and soon defeated the Hunxie King's army.
Zhang Han rode a horse to patrol, and there was nothing unusual. He jumped off the war horse and got into the big tent of King Hunxie. He saw a sheep that had just been placed on the table and a pot of fine wine. Zhang Han was very happy and said, "Damn it, don't hesitate to the king of slaughter. He treated me like this. Unexpectedly, King Hunxie would like to welcome my arrival with such a big dish.
King Hunxie, please be polite, I won’t be polite.” Zhang Han sat down, tear off a lamb leg and started to bite it.
A big leg of lamb was full, Zhang Han was burping and said, "Let's sleep for a while." He fell asleep as he headed to the ground. A Hu man suddenly jumped out of his sleep. The horse whip in his hand whipped him straight, and shouted: "Give me back my leg of lamb!"
Zhang Han woke up in shock and shouted, "You barbarian, why are you so arrogant? I just ate one of your lamb legs? You can beat them so hard.
It hurts so much!" He jumped up, pressed his right hand on the hilt of the knife, and was about to pull out the knife and remove the sheath to deal with the Hu man, but he saw Han Xin holding a horse whip in his hand, his eyes staring at him like a copper bell.
Zhang Han thought he was dreaming, so hesitated for a while before saying, "The last general has seen the general."
Han Xin said coldly: "I slept like a dead pig. I only woke you up with three whips. If I were the enemy, you would have died long ago."
Zhang Han recalled the scene of eating lamb legs just now, and realized that it was a dream. He hurriedly said, "I am guilty of being guilty, please punish me." According to his qualifications, Zhang Han is much older than Han Xin.
Under Han Xin's leadership, the Western Expedition Army won all the battles. Han Xin's military skills were amazing. Zhang Han had to admire him and respected Han Xin very much.
Han Xin did not speak immediately, sat down, pulled off a piece of mutton, and threw it to a personal soldier. He said, "You can eat something too. I haven't had a full meal these days, and I haven't had a stable sleep.
"Tear another piece of mutton and ate it on your own. The personal soldiers responded and came over to pull the mutton and ate it.
Zhang Han complained: "What the general said is that since we went to war, we have not been marching for a day, and we have not had a full meal a day. There is no rest time, and the brothers are sleepy and can only sleep on the horse's back.
General, now King Xiu Tu is defeated, can we take a break before moving west?”
"Who doesn't suffer? I'm also very bitter. Look at my eyes, it's red, and I haven't slept for several days." Han Xin asked: "It's a bit bitter, but we have gained a lot. I'll ask you.
How big has my victory been in the past half month since the war began?"
Zhang Han thoughtfully said, "In the half month, we went deep into the enemy's backbone for more than a thousand miles, fought more than twenty times in all sizes, beheaded nearly 50,000, and defeated more than 100,000 enemies. The result was indeed very large."
"Yes, you're very good at it. Our results are almost like this." Han Xin asked back: "Do you know why we have such results?"
Zhang Han is a unique person, and he answered without thinking: "Return to the general, the last general believes that there are three main reasons: First, the soldiers use their lives and dare to fight.
Second, the supplies are endless, and the prince has sent us all the supplies we need, which has left us without worries. Third, the general is in good command and adopts the tactic of large detours and deep interspersion.
Use the cavalry's fast maneuverability to attack in the most unexpected places of the enemy. The enemy launches attacks at the most unexpected time. After we fought so many battles, no battle was made for the enemy.
They were completely unprepared to us and soon collapsed completely."
Han Xin swallowed a piece of mutton and nodded, "The analysis is still objective. So far, we have achieved such results, and our casualties are less than 2,000."
"This is all the command of the general." Zhang Han had to accept it and said, "I, Zhang Han, followed the emperor to fight south and north, and fought in various ways. There was no battle as exciting as this time. I was done in one go, and the enemy could not even find the back."
Han Xin analyzed: "Don't gild my face, this is comparable.
The battle you participated in before was a confrontation between the two armies, and there were camps, but our current fighting style did not have camps. Do you know what the reason is? The reason is that I mainly used cavalry. As for infantry, let them follow up to ensure our logistics so that our rear route will not be threatened.
The previous style of fighting was exactly the opposite, with infantry as the main force and cavalry as the auxiliary, mainly because there was not enough cavalry. Over the years, the emperor adopted Mr. Zhou's idea and formed a large number of cavalry, so I dared to fight like this.
The real credit is the emperor, and it is Mr. Zhou. If Mr. Zhou had no idea, I would have only been able to take the same style as in the past today.”
The information revealed by this is that the Qin Dynasty's strategy and tactics are about to undergo a comprehensive change.
This sentence hit the nail on the head, Zhang Han nodded and said, "That's right, this is true. But this kind of playing is good, but the brothers are too tired, so tired that they don't even have time to breathe."
"Terrible and tired are better than losing your life." Han Xin was unmoved and said, "If you want to be neither hard nor tired, I can set up a formation to fight from east to west, but this will increase a lot of casualties.
Besides, this expedition to the Hexi Corridor has an important strategic purpose, which is to test the combat capabilities of the cavalry, so we must fight like this and use the cavalry to the limit."
What he didn't say was to test the combat capabilities of the cavalry and prepare for the future sweep of Mobei and take down the Shanyu Wangting. Zhang Han naturally understood what he meant and said, "The general is far-sighted, and the last general admires it."
"This is not what I mean, it is the will of the prince, and it is also Mr. Zhou's intention." Han Xin slapped his hands and said, "Come in."
The personal soldiers escorted King Xiu Tu in, and Han Xin said, "This is King Xiu Tu. When I came, I happened to meet him, so I brought him too. I will give you this credit."
Zhang Han was very regretful that King Xiu Tu was not captured, but unexpectedly he caught Han Xin and said, "He was captured by the general, how could the general dare to take credit for me?"
"If you hadn't defeated him, I wouldn't have caught him. The credit was yours. I just happened to meet him. The golden man he sacrificed to heaven had been found and sent to Xianyang together." Han Xin ordered.
Zhang Han asked: "General, we have seized a lot here, how should we deal with it?"
Han Xin said without thinking, "What else can I do? Of course, I will leave a small number of people first. When the infantry arrives, I will ask them to send someone to take them back to Xianyang. You, take the cavalry and set off immediately, and you must not stay for a moment."
