Chapter 23 Attack
"The Slave Captain, you are there!"
Li Guang was straight and raised his thumbs up, and he started to praise him first.
"The Huns have been born on horseback since childhood and are familiar with riding. If there is no horse with four legs, will the Huns or the Huns?" Cheng Buzhi's hearty laughter sounded: "This battle has not been fought yet, and the outcome has been decided!"
Li Guang took over the conversation and said, "There are few cavalry in the Han Dynasty, but there are more infantry, 30,000, 50,000, 100,000, and 200,000, and as much as you want. As long as you get the Huns off the horse, it will be our world!"
Before Emperor Wu of Han reformed the military system, there were not many cavalry in the Han Dynasty and could not fight against the Huns. In order to deal with the Huns' cavalry, the Han Dynasty could only use a large number of chariots. The chariots were bulky, slow to move, and consumed a lot of resources. This was a forced effort.
As long as the Huns' cavalry and shooting advantage cannot be exerted, it will break the Huns' wings. Speaking of ground chopping and slaughtering, this is what the Han Dynasty infantry trained, and they have all the advantages.
The problem is that it is not easy to make the Huns' riding and shooting unable to be performed. Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi fought with the Huns in dozens of battles at the border, thinking about such beautiful things all the time, but never succeeded. Unexpectedly, they actually did it in a heavy rain, which was really what the wish was!
Don’t mention how happy the two of them are!
"Although the general trend is beneficial to us, we still have disadvantages when it comes to combat." Zhou Yang did not blindly let the joy: "The main reason is that we can use not much of the troops, which is less than 60,000 in total. However, the Huns had more than 100,000, which is twice ours. When fighting, we still have to be careful."
Li Guang laughed and said, "What the Pou Nu Captain said is so great. We will definitely not be arrogant, and arrogant soldiers will be defeated!"
His face was somber, and the joy on his face disappeared: "If you are happy, you have to fight seriously and fight honestly!"
He is worthy of being a veteran on the battlefield and can grasp it. Zhou Yang secretly praised him.
"Flying General, don't be happy, let's study how to fight this battle." Cheng Bushi was also a cheerful person and smiled and said, "The Pou Nu Captain has caused such a big trend. Let's do this detailed battle matter. Can the Pou Nu Captain listen to our opinions?"
Both of them are famous generals, and their suggestions are very precious. Zhou Yang has no reason to refuse: "I would like to listen to the great views."
Cheng Bushi broke a branch, squatted down, and drew lines on the ground: "I want to do it separately. Jianzhang Army is the most skilled, and he is skilled in riding and shooting. However, this battle cannot be used, and it mainly depends on infantry. If you want you to intercept the defeated Huns, you will definitely not be happy. I want to use you as a sharp blade. You only have one task, that is, attack the Shanyu. Wherever the Shanyu is, you will fight wherever you are. No matter whether you kill or injured, as long as the Shanyu is panicked, you cannot command the Huns to fight."
Junchen Shanyu was the leader of the Huns. It would be better if he could be killed and injured or captured alive. However, with the current military strength of the Han army, it was unlikely that it would be possible to limit Junchen Shanyu and prevent him from commanding the Huns' army from fighting.
As long as the military minister Shanyu could not command the Xiongnu to fight, even though the Huns were large, they were a mess, which was very beneficial to the Han army. To achieve this goal, only the elite Jianzhang Army of the Han army could complete it. No one would object to the heavy responsibility to Zhou Yang and others.
"No problem, we'll take this matter!" Gongsun He rubbed his hands excitedly.
"Remember one thing, don't be greedy for merit. Jianzhang Army is the essence of the Han Dynasty. It will be of great use in the future. If you can get fewer casualties, you will have fewer casualties." Cheng Buzhi knew the importance of Jianzhang Army, so he would like to remind him.
Li Guang broke down a branch and set up beside the lines drawn by Cheng Bushi: "General Cheng and I each led the elite troops to attack. Jianzhang's army attacked from the north, so I came from the east, and General Cheng entered from the west. Once we started fighting, Prefect Feng vowed to leave the city, so he entered from the south."
"In this way, the Huns will be attacked from all sides and will be difficult to take care of the head and tail, which will inevitably lead to chaos. We will take advantage of the situation to kill the troops and we will never give the Huns a chance to breathe." Cheng Bushi said last.
Li Guang and Cheng didn't know each other, and they were familiar with each other. The deployment was so easy that people could say nothing. Zhou Yang had to admire that these were famous generals who had experienced many battles. They were particularly familiar with the affairs of the ranks. They were themselves, and they could still deal with the general trend, but when it came to specific deployments, it was a bit difficult. After all, this required experience. Zhou Yang was the first to go to the battlefield, and what he lacked was experience.
"Power Slave, what do you think?" Li Guanghu's eyes flashed.
Zhou Yang nodded and said, "What you said is very reasonable, so that's it. I would like to remind you that after you go back, you can select the most elite soldiers, gather them together, and use them as sharp blades. Wherever you are difficult to fight, you can send them wherever you want."
"Good idea!"
Cheng Bushi and Li Guang agreed in the same voice. Cheng Bushi asked, "Pu Nu Captain, when do you think it is appropriate to launch an attack? I want to wait until dusk before attacking."
"Although the ground is already soft and wet, it is not conducive to the Huns' Racing. However, this is not enough. If the Shanyu wanted to attack Yanmen, he would let him fight for another day. On this day, the Huns must have been Racing. With the horses and people stepping on this day, the ground will become even more muddy, no different from the mud, and it will be even more unfavorable to us." Li Guang said Cheng Buzhi's intention.
It is worthy of being a famous general and maximizing his advantages. Zhou Yang and Gongsun He have no reason to disagree.
"Okay! At dusk, your Jianzhang Army beat the drums as trumpets. As the drums sounded, we would enter the Huns camp." Cheng Bushi said last.
After arguing the offensive signal and discussing the details for a while, Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi hurriedly left and began to prepare.
It is morning now, and there is still a long time before dusk. The war started at dusk, which was considered that the Huns were extremely tired after one day of attack and their troops were about to be collected. This was an excellent opportunity to attack.
It can be imagined that once a war starts, it will be a night of fighting. It is impossible to sleep tonight, and you will spend the battle of life and death. You have to take advantage of this period of time to rest and accumulate energy.
At the order of Gongsun He, Jianzhangjun returned to the tent and fell asleep.
After waking up, the sun was already west, and there was still an hour before the battle period. There are two tasks for this hour, one is to make the final preparations for the battle, and the other is to have a full meal.
The war rice is actually a piece of horse breast milk, plus a piece of jerky meat. The horse breast milk is food from the Huns and tastes a bit sour, similar to the current yogurt. The horse breast milk has a characteristic, which is that it is hunger-resistant and easy to preserve. The northern army often brings horse breast milk.
Drinking horse breasts and dealing with a piece of jerky, Zhou Yang burped and started checking his equipment.
The end of the day, the time was almost over. Gongsun He gave the order, Jianzhang Palace was assembled and formed one formation after another, with a fierce fighting spirit in everyone's eyes.
At the same time, in the east of Yanmen City, Li Guang stood on the ground with his right hand on the hilt of the sword. Behind him was the Han army led by him, arranged in a row of platoons, with a rainbow of momentum.
In the west of the city, Cheng Bushi held the Han sword in his hand, like a god, majestic. Behind him were tens of thousands of Han soldiers, everyone was full of passion. With just one order, they would rush over.
On the hill, there were dozens of big drums in front of Zhou Yang. Gongsun He held the drumsticks in his hand and looked at Zhou Yang without saying anything. He was waiting for Zhou Yang's order.
At this moment, Zhou Yang was surging and could not calm down for a long time.
Such a great battle came from Zhou Yang's hands, and such military orders came from Zhou Yang's mouth. This is a great glory of life. If you are not excited, it is a lie.
Taking a long breath to calm your mind, Zhou Yang raised his right hand high.
Gongsun He and dozens of drummers held up the drumsticks in their hands.
"Beat the drum!"
Zhou Yang's right hand drew heavily, as fast as lightning.
"Dongdong!"
The majestic drum sounded suddenly and spread from afar!
"kill!"
Chapter completed!
