Chapter 179 The situation is critical! Huo Guang has his own plan(1/2)
Seeing the generals below talking, they were scolding Zhao Xin, the traitor who repeatedly jumped between the Han and the Hungarians.
General Wei Qing's face suddenly became bad.
Zhao Xin went from his rebellion to the Huns. Many secrets of the Han army were known to the Huns.
If it weren't for this reason.
In recent years, Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, would not alienate the general, and even directly undermine his power.
Tell the truth.
Wei Qing could not escape the blame in this matter.
Now that the generals mentioned this matter again, Wei Qing's face was naturally not very good, but he still coughed calmly and said, "What are you doing? The Hun cavalry has not been attacked before. I sent two soldiers to confront the Hun cavalry on the left and right flanks respectively."
"As for the thunder cavalry, the plan remains unchanged!"
"It still detours from the flanks and captures the Xiongnu's retreat."
"Remember, you must leave the Hun cavalry with a way out and give them hope of escape. Prevent them from breaking the dead and fighting against trapped beasts!"
General Wei Qing had a very good combat plan. In the past, when dealing with the Hun cavalry, this move was almost a hundred tests.
after all.
This is what is recorded in "The Art of War".
It is a kind of guessing the enemy's psychology. Once the enemy feels that he still has the possibility of escaping, he will subconsciously forget the instinct of fighting.
Because most people with normal brains will have the desire to survive.
But after Wei Qing said this.
The latter general Cao Xiang said, "General, we don't have so many soldiers now, to resist the Hun cavalry that suddenly appeared on our left and right flanks!"
When Wei Qing heard this, he was shocked and said, "General Cao, why do you say there is no force? How could I lose my 50,000 cavalry under my command be gone?"
At this time.
Seeing that the general was unbelievable, Cao Xiang said as he said: "In the battlefield ahead, because the Hun cavalry increased its troops to 10,000 cavalry, the five thousand soldiers we originally sent were unable to withstand the attack, so he sent another five thousand troops to go up, which was 10,000."
"The guards of this camp surrounded by Wugang cars are 10,000."
"The general's special training of the thunder cavalry has occupied another eight thousand troops!"
"My guards are left with only three thousand cavalry."
"Unless the general asks the Central Guards to attack, the troops here will be drawn away. If the Huns come to kill, I will probably not be able to protect them with my three thousand guards!"
When Wei Qing heard this, he frowned and said, "Where are there 20,000 cavalry?"
Cao Xiang then said, "General, you won't forget it, right? Former General Li Guang and Right General Zhao Shiqi followed your order and went around the host road, and no news has been heard back so far!"
General Wei Qing frowned and said, "What? Where did these two people go? Why is there no news at all?"
For this question.
Cao Xiang could only shake his head, he didn't know the situation.
At this moment, the general Wei Qing looked a little annoyed on his face.
He also thought that the right general Zhao Shiqi and former general Li Guang could go around the world so that they could catch the Hun cavalry without any haste.
But now it's better.
No one knows where to go.
have no choice.
After some thought, the general could only say at this moment: "Forget it, if you lack these 20,000 people, then you won't be able to use roundabout tactics."
"Send six thousand thrust cavalry to deal with the Hun cavalry raided on the left flank."
"The remaining ones will be transferred from the Central Guards to use them to counter the Hun cavalry on the right flank."
"Hou General Cao Xiang, you can leave these five thousand cavalrymen to you?"
When Cao Xiang heard this, he nodded immediately and said, "I will obey the order!"
The words are over.
The latter general Cao Xiang led the general to order the cavalry of the Central Guards.
His guards originally had three thousand cavalry, and the five thousand cavalry transferred from the Central Guards looked like eight thousand cavalry.
This force.
It was enough to block the ten thousand cavalry attacked by the Huns on the right flank.
When he saw that the general Cao Xiang had 8,000 cavalry teams to fight against the Huns, Cheng Bushi, who had never had a chance to fight, could not bear it anymore and asked, "General, the generals of each army now have combat tasks. What about me, the old guy?"
"Your General Cheng, you" General Wei Qing looked puzzled at this time. He really didn't know what to do with the old general, so he had to say: "Elder General, the situation in the enemy and us is not optimistic now, and the troops are also clumsy. I really can't mobilize more troops to let you go to the battlefield!"
Emperor Wu of Han transferred these veterans to him, which caused Wei Qing to suffer everywhere.
no way.
Who made Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che ask Wei Qing's army to take a feint attack from the beginning, and General Huo Qubing, the cavalry, was the main force in fighting against the Great Shanyu of the Xiongnu.
When marching ahead.
The Cavalry General was originally going to Dingxiang City, but later it was changed to Dai County. It was because he heard that the main force of the Xiongnu Shanyu went east that the two armies exchanged their march directions.
What a pity.
The news received by Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che was wrong.
The main force of the Great Khan of the Huns did not go east, and he also met the Wei Qing Legion head-on. The two sides started a fierce battle in the northern part of the desert!
According to the original historical development.
The main force of the Great Khan of the Xiongnu was defeated, and Yi Zhixie only led the remaining troops to escape.
The Wei Qing Legion won, but it was just a miserable victory.
The reduction of personnel has reached a terrifying 70%!
The Han Dynasty's military merits required to obtain more enemies and less damage to the war. Only in this way can we obtain military merits rewarded by the court.
The Wei Qing Legion suffered heavy losses in this battle, so naturally he did not receive any military rewards.
The old general Cheng Buzhi didn't know this. When he saw Wei Qing refuse, he immediately said, "It's better if the general doesn't transfer troops to me. In this way, how about sending me to lead the six thousand cavalry cavalry?"
General Wei Qing frowned immediately and said, "This cavalry is used to charge and rush into the enemy. Fighting with the enemy is basically to directly rush into the enemy's formation, which is very different from the cavalry and shooting cavalry's fighting style."
"The old general is old."
"It's better to stay in the Central Guard Army and be responsible for safety here! It won't cause bleeding or injury, how about it?"
The general said this with good intentions.
Just like he didn't want the veteran General Li Guang to go to the front-line general and fight with the enemy on the front line.
Both old generals were old men who had lived through three dynasties and should have lived their age.
If it is broken here, it will be unpleasant to spread it, and Wei Qing would not be able to stand it.
However.
Like Li Guang and Cheng don’t know these old generals, they have a lot of blood on their hands and a very stubborn temper. If they are afraid of bleeding, they will not participate in this Battle of Mobei.
The old general Cheng Buzhi said loudly: "General, what are you afraid of when you are bleeding? The soldiers who are in the army do not bleed, that's what. General of the Central Guard Army, you should find someone else. Please let me go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. Even if you are an ordinary soldier, it would be better to survive here!"
The general was obviously in a dilemma about Cheng's request to not know the old general.
And at this time.
Huo Guang, who had been holding the sand table terrain next to him, came over and said, "Report to the general that the sand table terrain has been prepared. Please see if you want to review it?"
The general was upset at this time and immediately said, "What's the point of this? The plains are fighting, and the troops are insufficient. Now there is no good way to fight these Hun cavalry, so he can only try his best to give it a try."
A skillful woman can’t cook without rice!
No matter how well Wei Qing reads ancient military books, he can't think of any trick to defeat the enemy at this moment.
The cavalry commanded by Wei Qing did not have as many as the Huns, and they were on this desert plain!
The main force of the Huns had not even been fully dispatched, which made Wei Qing unable to think of any good strategy to defeat the enemy.
now.
When we meet on a narrow road, we can only see who is more courageous.
When Huo Guang heard his uncle's words, he knew that he was under great pressure and immediately said, "General, I have a plan to help our army solve the current dilemma and at the same time severely defeat the enemy!"
General Cheng, who was standing by, felt dissatisfied when he saw Huo Guang interrupting his request to the general.
Add to the previous military exercises.
Huo Guang inexplicably said that the team led by Cheng Buzhi was killed, which made the old general Cheng, who had already complained about Huo Guang even more lose his good temper.
Last time, His Majesty was next to him, so he was not at ease.
Now the sky is high and the emperor is far away. General Cheng doesn't care about anything else. He directly mocked: "You don't even have enough hair. Do you know how to marching and fight? The yellow-mouthed child who has blood on his hands dares to speak nonsense!"
