Mythical big man, champion soldier saint

Chapter 155 Astonishing, report to Chang'an

"It's Huangkouyi!"

Xu Jia responded: "We went out of the frontier last night, and the champion Hou urged us to march. We were all wrapped up in a wave of energy, and our horseshoes flew like flying. When we arrived at Huangkouyi, the opponent was trying to divide the army and wanted to go from two directions. Stop my Han army.

Huo Hou looked at the situation of the army from a distance, said that the opponent's breath was disordered and his fighting spirit was not firm, as long as he defeated the opponent's three-man horse, the enemy would be in chaos, so he ordered to charge into the formation. "

Li Yanqing snorted imperceptibly.

This is very in line with his impression of Huo Qubing, who has no other eyes, has always been fearless, and will do it when he encounters an enemy.

Zhang Jun nodded lightly: "Military masters are good at observing qi, especially on the battlefield. There is even a special practice method for observing qi, which can judge the number of opponents' soldiers based on the aura gathered by the enemy and us.

Depending on the smell in the air and the sweat stains on the men and horses, you can judge how long the opponent has marched, whether it is tired or full of morale, and whether it is suitable for attacking. "

"The prefect is right."

"The situation of the battle is just as Lord Hou expected. We... no, it is the imperial army under Lord Hou's command. They are running like tigers and defeating each other in one fell swoop."

Xu Jia's tone became more and more excited:
"At that time, the opponent's two teams were only two to three hundred feet apart, but the troops led by Master Hou broke the enemy at such a fast speed that they had no time to respond. The eunuch and Marquis Bo Wang could have imagined how fast the offensive was on the battlefield at that time."

"How many troops does the other party have?" Zhang Jun asked casually, his eyes still on the marching map.

"Two thousand Qiang people!"

Xu Jia said: "On our side, only the imperial army under Lord Hou took action. I waited for the frontier army to hold the crossbows on the outside and shoot at the Qiang people who fled later."

"... two thousand?" Zhang Jun raised his head.

When he first heard that Huo Qubing was charging, he felt that it was right, so he maintained a rushing momentum and rushed forward with all his might.

But if the opponent is many times his own, he will never rush to fight.

Li Yanqing and Zhang Qian on the side moved almost in unison, they all frowned in disbelief.

"The opponent is the Gu Qiang tribe that we usually fight against. The leader is Mu Langtuo, one of the tribesmen. The prefect should have heard of his name."

Is the difference in military strength really so great?

Zhang Jun seemed calm, saying that this kind of thing didn't surprise him, but in fact, his heart was already full of turbulent waves, and it was almost difficult to hold on to himself.

"At that time, the Imperial Army under Lord Hou's command changed formations while galloping, forming a formation of arrows, passing the power to the person in the front, and breaking out at that moment. I have never seen the fighting power of other teams.

The spear pierces the armor, and every time it is stabbed, a Qiang will die.In the face to face, hundreds of Qiang people fell from their horses. "

Xu Jia briefly summarized the fighting process in Huangkouyi last night.

Zhang Jun sighed secretly after hearing this, his face was still very calm.

However, just by listening in, it is not difficult to imagine the fierce life-and-death battle between the two sides at that moment. The comparison is not only the fighting power, but also the bravery that is not afraid of death.

"Didn't it mean that the distance between the two sides is two or three hundred feet?"

Li Yanqing asked: "In such a short distance, you can defeat thousands of people and make it too late to rescue them? What proof do you have to prove that what you said is true?"

Who are you...Xu Jia ignored Li Yanqing and continued:

"Before another team from the other side came to the rescue, the Qiang people who fought had already been defeated. They were terrified, and the Qiang people who came to the rescue were also timid... Later, Mu Langtuo, the leader of the other side, was also beheaded."

After Xu Jia finished speaking, Zhang Jun asked nonchalantly, "And then?"

"I don't know the details of the subsequent changes. I don't know how Hou Ye let another part of the reinforcements from the ancient Qiang village wear Han troops to serve, and then attracted a group of Hun soldiers, causing the two sides to kill each other.

As far as I saw along the way when I came back, the result of their confrontation was quite heavy. "Xu Jia said proudly.

"Even if the Qiang people wear Han army uniforms, they won't reveal their identity when they see the Xiongnu soldiers? How could they do it and suffer heavy losses?" Zhang Jun had the same doubts as Xu Jia did at the time.

"Hou Ye seems to have used some kind of military technique, able to control the casualties for a period of time, and hacked and wounded the general of the Xiongnu with a sneak attack of Mu Lang Tuo.

As a result, the two sides began to fight. "Xu Jia explained.

Resurrecting the dead...

The first thing that Zhang Jun and Zhang Qian thought of was that it was very famous, but few military strategists really mastered the technique of resurrecting the soul with a dead body.

"Hou Ye attracted the two sides to confront each other, and then we went to attack the old nest of the ancient Qiang tribe. Hou Ye personally shot and beheaded the ancient Qiang tribe's leader, Dianzhen.

The leader died, and the resistance to breaking the camp was not as great as expected. "

Xu Jia looked at Li Yanqing: "Just now this old man asked me how to prove what I said.

I wonder if the defeated and burned ancient Qiang village is considered evidence? "

Li Yanqing narrowed her eyes, but said nothing.

"Then Lord Hou led us to advance in the northwest direction. By dawn, we had broken through six Qiang camps, large and small."

"The scouts said it was four."

"We went to the northwest to destroy four camps, all of which were lightning strikes. After four camps, the flames shot up into the sky. Lord Hou said that the Qiang people helped each other, and if they broke through four Qiang villages in a row, the other party must have been alerted.

Then they changed direction, turned to advance southward, and also broke through the two Qiang villages in the south. "

"Last night, how many enemies did you kill and how many were captured?" Zhang Jun suppressed the throbbing in his heart and asked.

"I haven't counted them. There are always tens of thousands of people who were directly beheaded. Those who were indirectly shot by us, and those who were tricked by Lord Hou to lure them to kill each other, should not be less than the number of directly killed enemies, or even more. "

"Champion Hou always only used the more than 100 forbidden troops to defeat the enemy?" Zhang Jun finally couldn't help asking the most shocking question in his heart.

"No, I saw Zhao Puonu, the school captain of another imperial army, show up on the way.

That Zhao Puonu should be the backhand arranged by Lord Hou in the dark, I don't know where the soldiers are hiding.

In the morning, too many were seized, Lord Hou asked me to come back, and he and Zhao Puonu's 800 elite troops, together with nearly [-] troops, went to hunt down the Xiongnu's team. "

Xu Jia finished the whole process.

Zhang Qian didn't speak the whole time, and listened with bated breath.

When Xu Jia's words fell, he let out a long breath as if returning to his senses.

This is very different from their previous judgments. Huo Qubing used his troops so exquisitely and ferociously that he seemed to be able to take the lead with just one quick word. He was able to break through six Qiang camps in one night. The enemy controls the changes in the situation between the enemy and ourselves.

Li Yanqing couldn't help asking:
"In the process of breaking through the Qiang stronghold, Huo Qubing really only used more than a hundred imperial troops?"

Xu Jia frowned slightly: "Of course it's not just the Forbidden Army."

Li Yanqing breathed a sigh of relief: "I said that there shouldn't be more than a hundred forbidden troops. How can the fighting power of the Qiang people be so weak?"

Xu Jia said: "Don't we still have our 100th multilateral army following us? There are [-] of us in total, and we all made contributions to last night's battle."

Li Yanqing was a little speechless.

"Huohou is now leading people to hunt down the Hun cavalry?"

"Yes, after the Xiongnu Xiutu's soldiers and horses fought with the Qiang people, they also suffered a little loss.

It was already this morning when we came back from the Miao Village.

The Xiongnu soldiers also fought all the way to the ancient Qiang tribe, probably wanting to visit the door to inquire about their crimes, they happened to bump into us, and then fought with the Hou Ye's soldiers and horses.

When Lieutenant Zhao Puonu led his troops to fight out from the flank.

The Huns felt that they were in an ambush, and immediately withdrew their troops and fled.

With the strength of Lord Hou's troops and the combat power of his subordinates, the Huns should have been defeated by this time! "

……

Xu Jia was right.

In the border area between the Northwest Prairie and the Yellow Land, the sun was shining, and the Xiongnu soldiers led by Jin Wu were at the end of their way.

On the ground, a huge military formation map covered the battlefield.

Huo Qubing released the array obtained from the Military Mansion, sacrificed by the semi-sage Wu Qi, and readjusted by himself.

The pattern was spit out by the White Tiger Soldier Talisman.

Afterwards, the two major soldier talismans, Baihu and Xuanwu, respectively corresponding to the two directions of west and north, were imprinted on the eyes of the formation map, and the halos flowed, urging the battle formation symbols of the soldiers to come out one after another.

Within the coverage area of ​​the formation map, it is like another world, which is of great benefit to the Han army under Huo Qubing's control.

Under the cover of the array map, the eight hundred Han troops changed their array, nibbling away at their opponents bit by bit.

The Xiongnu soldiers were much more vicious than the Qiang people. Seeing that their companions were getting fewer and fewer, they were stopped by the army formation many times, and they were already red-eyed and fierce.

But they couldn't understand the changes in the formation, and were separated by the formation, unable to work together, and they had long been in a situation of desperate struggle.

The textures on the map flickered, the white tiger and Xuanwu transformed into the map, and the roar of the tiger was deafening.

When the Han army stabbed their spears, they were able to bless some of the white tigers. The power attribute of Xuanwu was used to deal with the Huns between offense and defense, and everything was broken.

Jin Wu, the general of the Xiongnu, also tried to sacrifice a parchment scroll, which was the technique of the Huns shaman, but was suppressed by the power of the array.

Ah!
The leather shield in a Xiongnu soldier's hand, together with the leather armor on his chest, was pierced by a spear from the Han army at the same time, and the fierce expression on his face froze.

The spear point pierced deeply from his back, and the blood was scarlet!
The power of this spear far exceeds the usual level of the Han army, which is the result of the power of the white tiger and the armor-piercing attribute blessed by the army.

When the wounded Jin Wu was also beheaded by Zhao Ponu, the fate of the Xiongnu soldiers had come to an end.

It was the first time to use the formation map of the Three Realms of Heaven and Man on the battlefield, and Huo Qubing was quite satisfied with its power: "The formation map of the Three Realms is spread out...and can also be used with some tactics."

……

Border town, study room.

After hearing Xu Jia's description, Zhang Jun looked at this marching map again, and his shock was beyond words.

Xu Jia's description was almost completely consistent with the route outlined on the marching map.

Including predicting in advance that the Qiang people might set up an ambush at two locations, among which a red cross was marked at the location of Huangkouyi, indicating that Huangkouyi was the most likely.

Then they broke through the enemy camps and entered four enemy camps, and then the team turned to the south... The whole process, the grasp of the fighters, and the opponent's response methods were all insightful and accurate, as if they had seen it with their own eyes.

For Zhang Jun, who is familiar with military affairs, after reading this marching map, he was amazed.

This is the real military strategist's calculations, predicting the enemy ahead.

If you want to do this, you can't just rely on military talent alone, you need information such as the situation of the enemy and the enemy, strength and weakness, etc. to assist.

From the very beginning, this trip to Xiguan was the cooperation of Huo Qubing and Ru Bohu.

Based on the information provided by the embroidered clothes, he knew the situation of the enemy and ourselves well before the battle, so he was able to use repeated tactics to lure the snake out of the hole and attack the enemy weak.

At this moment, Huo Qubing knows the world, and there are new tactics that have emerged, which are shining brightly in the book of war.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, Han Xin, Marquis of Huaiyin, repeatedly defeated strong enemies with weak troops.

In later generations, Li Jing of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, [-] fine horsemen rushed to attack the Turks, defeating the powerful Eastern Turks who once marched to the city of Chang'an.

They all have similar means to accurately judge the enemy and ourselves, attack the enemy with the weak, and be invincible.

After looking at the marching map, Zhang Jun already knew that he was limited to his own war cognition, and without Huo Qubing's level of combat perspective, he couldn't see the opportunity to win more with less, and it was even more impossible to fight such a confrontation with such a casualty ratio. .

Of course, even if Huo Qubing broke through the enemy camp, everyone would not be convinced.

Li Yanqing just restrained his attitude slightly, stood up and said: "I still say the same thing, he may have some bravery and military talent, but sooner or later he will suffer a big loss, just wait and see."

After finishing talking, he went out: "I was a little tired after driving here last night, arrange a yard for me,
I'm waiting for Huo Qubing here, and I want to ask him when he will return Li Shi's silk book. "

Zhang Jun is still paying attention to the marching map:
"Huohou drew a thick black line here, approaching the Qiang village in the northwest. He wanted me to send frontier troops to occupy these places. Huohou wants to expand the road to the Western Regions?"

Xu Jia said: "I don't know, Huo Hou only said that he would wait for me to escort the princess and Marquis Bowang to the northwest, and he would wait halfway."

"Let the princess go out, can you be sure of safety on the way?"

Xu Jia was full of confidence: "Huo Hou is not willing to let the princess' safety be threatened.

We advanced four to five hundred miles to the northwest last night, and even broke the Qiang tribe. One can imagine the shock to the Qiang people.

Before finding out Huohou's reality, the Xiongnu Chanyu personally went to persuade the Qiang people to send troops, and they dared not act rashly again. "

"In addition, Huo Hou said that the central army of the Huns' court was defeated before, and the Xiongnu tribes in the east and west wanted to retain their strength and spy on the lush area of ​​the central royal court headquarters. At this time, they would never dare to send a large army to confront our Han army. Send thousands of people to harass.

So when he defeated the Hun soldiers who were chasing him, Xiguan would be stable for a period of time.

These are Huo Hou's original words. "

Zhang Jun and Zhang Qian went up to the frontier gate later, and looked at the spoils brought back by Xu Jia, they were really rich.

Animal husbandry, cattle and sheep, money, medicinal materials, and Qiang camps seem to have been swept away.

These are the things that are fought in wars, and the Huns come to invade the pass every year, just wanting to plunder these spoils.

When the day was approaching evening, the frontier army city gate was wide open.

A frontier army of nearly 8000 people left the pass and advanced northwest.

Also in the team was Liu Qing's chariot, as well as Zhang Qian and others.

In the future, additional troops will be sent from all over the border to the northwest.

The prefect Zhang Jun also hurriedly wrote the seal scroll, and sent it to Chang'an together with the marching map hand-painted by Huo Qubing.
