Chapter 329 The Battle of Mobei (3)
In the central part of the Mongolian Plateau is the Yanran Mountain, reaching the Yinshan Mountain in the south. Between the Yanran Mountain and the Yinshan Mountain is a large area of Gobi and desert. Fifty thousand cavalry and tens of thousands of infantrymen transporting grain and civilians are advancing towards the Yanran Mountain in a mighty manner.
The further you go to Mobei, the greater the logistical pressure. When food is in short supply, it means you must withdraw your troops.
"The Mongolian Empire was born on this plateau. Not many empires would be willing to attack this bitter cold land unless necessary. Therefore, groups of nomadic tribes emerged from here and moved south from time to time, causing endless harm."
Chutian rode a Turkic horse. The Turkic horse is adapted to the climate of the Mongolian plateau and will not be acclimated to the climate.
The ancient Central Plains regime had very little interest in the Mongolian Plateau, because there were many Gobi deserts and deserts north of the Yinshan Mountains, making it difficult to cultivate. It would be extremely costly to control and digest Mobei. The Central Plains regime would have done a great job just controlling Monan.
Chutian was thinking about ways to control Mobei.
If a large city is built on the shores of Lake Baikal, a teleportation array is set up, and troops are rotated every ten years, Mobei may be controlled. Once something happens in Mobei, the army in the pass can use the teleportation array to quickly go to Mobei to suppress the rebellion.
For Chutian, who is still south of the Yellow River, pushing across Mobei in the main world seems a bit far away. To the north of the Mongolian Plateau is the Siberian Plateau. The sphere of influence of the Grand Duchy of Moscow should be only a few lords of the Grand Duchy of Moscow are active in the Siberian Plateau.
.
The Grand Duchy of Moscow... Chu Tian actually remembered a lord of the Grand Duchy of Moscow whom he knew, whose name seemed to be Lina.
War eagles soared in the sky, landing among the iron eagle scout cavalry from time to time.
The Iron Eagle scout cavalry went to investigate the surrounding areas to track the whereabouts of the Xiongnu, and reported to the police from time to time: "No Xiongnu was found."
"It seems that the main force of the Xiongnu has retreated from Monan to Mobei."
Chu Tian knew that after the Battle of Monan, the Xiongnu chose to form a formation in Mobei and fight the Han army in order to avoid the sharp edge of the Han army. There were indeed very few Xiongnu in Monan.
The leader of the Han army, Li Guang, was a little confused and almost went in the wrong direction. However, under Chu Tian's correction, the Han army basically marched in the right direction.
"The Han army is here again!"
"They are really haunting."
King Youxian of the Xiongnu grabbed the reins of the war horse. Tens of thousands of Xiongnu cavalry were panicked when they heard that the Han army was coming.
The main force of the Xiongnu has retreated to Mobei in order to increase the logistical pressure on the Han army and thereby increase the winning rate of the decisive battle in Mobei.
"Last time, Wei Qing captured more than 10,000 men and women and hundreds of thousands of livestock in our tribe. This revenge must be avenged!"
"King, there seems to be no cavalry from Wei Qing on this route."
"But I feel an equally disturbing aura..." King Youxian closed his eyes and felt a faint sense of oppression, "It is indeed somewhat different from the oppression brought by Wei Qing. Why is this?"
A black war eagle hovers in the sky.
There was a Xiongnu shooting eagle holding a bow and trying to shoot, but the height of the war eagle was beyond the range of the bow and arrow.
King Youxian of the Xiongnu looked at the war eagle in the sky and took a second look: "You stay and continue to monitor this group of soldiers and horses."
A big Huns householder replied: "Yes."
King Youxian commanded his cavalry to go north to join the Xiongnu Chanyu, leaving only three thousand Xiongnu cavalry to monitor the whereabouts of Li Guang's army.
The royal court of King Youxian was destroyed by Wei Qing in the last Battle of Monan, and its influence was greatly reduced. Part of the troops were assigned to the second king Zhao Xin by Shanyu. He now only has tens of thousands of cavalry.
Therefore, King Youxian feared and hated Wei Qing.
The main force of the Xiongnu was concentrated in Shanyu's headquarters and the royal court of Zuoxian.
"A hundred miles ahead, we found a large number of Huns soldiers and horses!"
After the Iron Eagle scouts detected the traces of the Huns cavalry, they immediately reported to Chu Tian.
"How many people are there?"
"Probably tens of thousands."
"Tens of thousands of riders..."
Chu Tian, Fang Xuanling, and Lu Su had solemn expressions after learning this information.
In the Battle of Mobei, the attributes of the Huns cavalry were enhanced by 20%. They started at the third level. If they were not careful, they would be completely wiped out on the Mongolian plateau.
"Send out scouts to scout a hundred miles forward. Do not get close to this Hun cavalry. Use war eagles to scout from a distance of ten miles."
Chu Tian has the best troops in reconnaissance, and any Huns who dare to approach him cannot avoid the sight of the war eagle.
If tens of thousands of cavalry appear, it means that Chutian and their marching route is correct.
"It may be the Xiongnu Chanyu, or it may be King Zici, or it may be King Youxian. It is unlikely that the other Xiongnu princes are. If it is the Xiongnu Chanyu, with 10,000 of us, we may be defeated."
Chutian considered that the Xiongnu Chanyu had elite seventh-level light cavalry "Khanyu Guards" with an average level of 80. They were a veteran of hundreds of battles against the Han Empire for many years. It was unlikely that his cavalry would encounter the Xiongnu Chanyu alone.
Can please.
The 10,000 cavalry brought by Chutian include both new and old soldiers. The average level of Xue Rengui's sixth-order Tang Dynasty archers is 57, and the average level of Chen Qingzhi's 2,000 white-robed cavalry is 23.
The average level reflects the number and severity of battles a unit has experienced. The level can affect the combat effectiveness of the unit. There is a huge gap between a battle-hardened division and newly recruited soldiers.
The White Robes were newly recruited cavalry, but Chu Tian still brought the White Robes to the Battle of Mobei because the huge bonus Chen Qingzhi brought to the White Robes could make up for the level gap.
The question now is whether to take a gamble and how to take a gamble.
"There are tens of thousands of cavalry on the opposite side, so we need to bring Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Li Guang, and Zhao Shiqi with us to beat them."
In order to prevent the entire army from being annihilated, Chu Tian chose to bring his teammates to surround and suppress this group of Huns.
"Report, the Huns are marching northward, leaving only a small number of cavalry behind, about two thousand to five thousand in number!"
Just as Chu Tian was about to inform Cao Cao and others, the Iron Eagle scout sent news.
Fang Xuanling speculated: "Obviously the Huns are not willing to engage in a decisive battle with our troops. The purpose of the remaining Huns cavalry is to monitor us."
"If there are only a few thousand Xiongnu cavalry, we can defeat them. Tonight we will go out of camp to attack this Xiongnu cavalry. After leaving camp, we will notify Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Li Guang, Zhao Shiqi and others to send troops north to pursue them."
After a brief discussion between Chu Tian, Fang Xuanling, and Lu Su, they planned to kill the Hun cavalry at the rear, and then pursue the main force of the Hun who fled north without stopping. At the same time, they notified Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Li Guang, Zhao Shiqi and other legions to follow.
superior.
Chu Tian could not be sure whether Cao Cao and Yuan Shao would support him. What he could be sure of was that if Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi knew that a main Xiongnu force was ahead, they would definitely support Chu Tian.
Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi were so eager for military exploits that they became marquises.
During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty worshiped military conquest, military merit was the easiest way to obtain a title besides blood ties, so martial arts prevailed. When the Xiongnu invaded, the border generals attacked, even if the Xiongnu did not invade, they still had to find excuses to attack them.
.
With the help of Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi's Han cavalry, Chutian did not have to worry about being surrounded by the Huns' cavalry and being annihilated.
That night, when the Han army was in camp, Chu Tian ordered all the light cavalry to bring dry food, move lightly, and start chasing the Xiongnu Youxian King. At the same time, he left a small number of Iron Eagle scout cavalry behind and notified the rest of his teammates later.
The rear troops of the Xiongnu are the source of points. If Chutian wants to win them all, he will not give them to Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. He will eat meat, and Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will just drink soup.
Chutian's army suddenly broke out of camp and headed north. The army, all light cavalry, marched very fast.
Cao Cao was in the camp, spreading out the map, when he heard a commotion in the camp next door.
At first, Cao Cao didn't care much about it, but after he thought about it for a moment, something seemed wrong.
"Wenyuan, what's the commotion outside?"
Cao Cao summoned Zhang Liao to inquire about the changes in the accounts.
Zhang Liao replied: "Xuzhou Mu's camp mobilized troops and horses. The general went to check and found that Xuzhou Mu's cavalry left the camp and walked north."
"Night has fallen, should we leave camp at this time?"
Cao Cao's strategy was second only to the first group of counselors in the Three Kingdoms. He paced uneasily in the camp and suddenly realized: "It seems that Chu Zimou has discovered the traces of the Huns' cavalry. He wants to monopolize the war achievements. Someone is here."
, call in troops immediately!”
Cao Cao's army was mobilized immediately, and Xia Houyuan personally urged the troops who had already set up camp to assemble. For a while, the army was in chaos.
Generally speaking, the Han army's reconnaissance range is only ten miles in radius, and the reconnaissance range in front and behind may be farther, but Cao Cao cannot detect that there will be thousands of Huns cavalry hundreds of miles ahead.
When Cao Cao successfully assembled his cavalry, Chutian's army had already moved north.
Not only that, after Cao Cao assembled, he fell into confusion. This was a desert, and at this time, he could only march by night. Chu Tian knew where the main force of the Huns was, but Cao Cao did not.
After Cao Cao's army began to gather troops, Yuan Shao's accompanying military advisors Xu You and Ju Shu also realized that Chu Tian sent troops alone to enjoy the military exploits alone, so they persuaded Yuan Shao to gather troops and horses in time to prepare for battle.
After Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi set out for the Chutian Army, they received a report from the Iron Eagle scout that there were Huns troops ahead, and the rebel general Chu Zimou had gone north to pursue them.
Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi heard that the main force of the Huns was a hundred miles away in the north. They were overjoyed. Li Guang's gray beard trembled. He finally had a chance to fight the main force of the Huns.
Scout Iron Eagle also informed Cao Cao and Yuan Shao of this news.
Cao Cao realized that he was lagging behind Chu Tian, and he couldn't help but wonder why Chu Tian could get information about the north. The terrain here was quite unfamiliar.
"I hope I can share some of the battle merit."
Even though Chu Tian took the lead, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao still had to go north to pursue the Xiongnu cavalry. Without military exploits, the battle of Mobei would have been in vain.
Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi's 20,000 Han cavalry began to move north. Li Guang had a border guard cavalry under his command, which was a fifth-level light cavalry with an average level of 70 and a division capable of hundreds of battles. With the help of Li Guang's cavalry archers, Chutian could
Feel free to attack the Huns cavalry.
A hundred miles north of the Han army camp, the Huns camp had a blazing bonfire and the Huns cavalry were sleeping peacefully.
They could not imagine that the Han army would conduct a hundred-mile attack in a place that was almost completely unfamiliar to them, not to mention it was still a cold night.
"The Chanyu is already waiting for work in Mobei. Since the second king once served the Han Dynasty, he knows the true and false situation of the Han army. This time the Han army goes deep into the desert. Once defeated, we will chase them for thousands of miles and they will annihilate the entire army."
"We must take back the Yinshan Mountains and the Hetao with fertile water and grass."
The Huns cavalry who gathered around the campfire to keep vigil mentioned the war between the two sides and resented the loss of Hetao and Yinshan.
Suddenly, the familiar sound of horse hooves sounded, and in the darkness, a cavalry force came from the south!
Hearing the sound of horse hooves from the south, the Huns' cavalry all changed their colors. Their king had already withdrawn to the north, intending to fight the Han army in Mobei. The cavalry coming from the south at this time could not be the Huns.
"Han Army! It's Han Army!"
The Huns cavalry quickly woke up their companions and tried to resist.
A hail of arrows pierced the air, and dozens of Hun cavalry on the outside were killed by the hail of arrows!
A large number of cavalry marched straight into the Huns camp!
Yang Wudi held a long spear and used the Yang family's marksmanship to rush left and right in the enemy camp. The Hun cavalry was hit in the head by the spear and died instantly. The blood splashed into the blazing bonfire, making a sizzling sound!
Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun advanced with their troops and defeated the Xiongnu!
Zhao Yun used the gentian silver spear made for him by the legendary blacksmith Moye (the only exclusive weapon of the emperor), which was unstoppable among the Huns. He threw the fire away, and the burning wood fell into the Huns' cavalry before they could mount their horses.
The cavalry screamed. Zhao Yun came next and stabbed him to death with a spear!
As they crossed the cavalry camp, the Changshui camp cavalry pulled out their swords and slashed the Huns cavalry. The Huns cavalry were killed in large numbers.
The cavalry wreaked havoc, causing the flames of the fire to scatter. The fire gradually spread in the Huns' simple camp, eventually forming a sea of fire all over the sky!
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Huns' cavalry began to flee north in a hurry.
"Draw the sword!"
Hua Mulan led a thousand iron eagle scouts and circled back to the rear of the Huns cavalry. The thousand iron eagle scouts drew out their Tang swords and pointed their bright sharp blades straight ahead.
Thousands of Hun cavalry who escaped were harvested by Iron Eagle scouts, and only about 300 cavalry took advantage of the chaos to escape.
Chu Tian, Chen Qingzhi, Fang Xuanling, and Lu Su were watching the battle from the rear.
Long-distance raids have become a common occurrence for Chu Tian, and the results are still as good as ever.
Chutian could see that his points were constantly increasing.
If he encountered tens of thousands of Hun cavalry, Chu Tian might have to avoid their sharp edges, but since there were only a few thousand Hun cavalry, the difficulty would be reduced by ten times. Just send out his fierce generals to attack directly.
"The opponent has thousands of cavalry, and there will always be someone who escapes. The main force of the Xiongnu will soon know that we have caught up, so they can only advance quickly, obtain supplies by looting the Xiongnu, and make it all in one go!"
Before discovering the main force of the Xiongnu, Chutian relied on the Han army's baggage trains for supplies.
Although it is said that you take it from the enemy and use it for the enemy, that is only when there is an enemy. If you do not encounter enemies in the Gobi and deserts, and you march rashly, you are likely to run out of troops and food.
When the main force of the Huns was discovered at this time, Chutian no longer had to rely on the Han army's baggage trains. Because the Huns also needed to eat, and their main force often brought a large number of livestock to rob their livestock to obtain supplies!
Chutian's cavalry severely damaged the Hun cavalry that was monitoring the Han army. Eighty-nine of the Hun cavalry were killed or wounded, and only a few escaped. After cleaning the battlefield, Chu Tian obtained many Hun war horses, and immediately pursued the Hun Youxian King northward without stopping.
