Chapter 809 The Xiongnu's Countermeasures(1/2)

Outside the city of Mayi, there is the tent of King Youxian of the Xiongnu.

Aries King Gushe and Loufan King walked in with their trusted generals.

Just now, the momentum of the Zhelan tribe's departure was not only seen carefully by the Huns.

The Han people in Mayi City opposite also saw clearly.

Even now, bursts of cheers can still be heard in Mayi City.

Some people even hung dozens of heads on the city walls.

The atmosphere in the tent therefore became very dull and depressing.

Many Xiongnu nobles lowered their heads, no longer as crazy and proud as they were a few hours ago.

They knew very well that if Wuzhou Fortress was indeed controlled by the Han army again.

Then, they were surrounded by the Han army in a battlefield north of Mayi City and south of Wuzhou Fortress, which was no more than a hundred miles wide from east to west and no more than two hundred miles long from north to south.

This battlefield looks huge.

But in fact, every Huns know that it is very small.

The distance from Wuzhou Sai to Mayi City is not entirely plain.

Nearly one-third of the landforms here are hills or even mountains.

These places are naturally the home ground of the Han people.

The Huns didn't even think about it and surrendered them to the Han Dynasty.

The reason is very simple. Once the cavalry is trapped in these areas, if they are besieged, they will have nowhere to run.

Only the remaining plain areas could be used by the Huns.

If the invasion this time was just a cavalry force of several thousand people.

Such a battlefield is already huge.

But unfortunately, now, under the city of Mayi are the Xiongnu Youxian King, the main force and headquarters of the four major tribes of Aiyang, Loufan and Zhelan.

In total, there are more than 40,000 cavalry!

Such a large number of cavalry would require at least a battlefield of hundreds of miles in order for them to move around effectively and use various tactics.

Especially the Aries tribe.

The stunt that their cavalry is famous for is the turn around and shoot tactic.

By using the fast and flexible combat method of your own cavalry on a vast battlefield, you can constantly mobilize the enemy's troops to identify an opportunity and launch a sudden attack.

But, in such a narrow space now.

The Aries tribe's cavalry have lost a lot of space for their special skills.

"Tushe. What should we do now?" Aries Wang Gushe reluctantly gathered her thoughts and asked.

Countless people's eyes also fell on Yin Zhixie.

Now, almost all the top Xiongnu officials know this. From Yanmen Pass in the south, the two main forces of the Han army are advancing steadily towards Mayi City.

Moreover, these shameless Han Dynasty people actually used the tactics of infantry and cavalry coordination.

They were like a hedgehog covered with sharp thorns, making it impossible for the Huns to find a place to bite.

An hour ago, the vanguard of the Han army had already seized the key Huangshi Pavilion.

Then, they stopped there and stopped moving forward. They also began to build a camp and set up their horses to resist, as if they were coming to fight me.

This situation made the Xiongnu feel suffocated from top to bottom.

They felt like they had encountered a natural enemy.

In the past battles with the Han army, the Huns cavalry were never afraid of those Han generals who had big ideas and many ideas.

As long as you can catch this person's loophole, you can kill him with one blow.

But what they are most afraid of is the Han army on the opposite side, a Han general who is meticulous and every step and every footstep of his soldiers is just right.

This not only proves that this Han general will never be provoked by the various small means they use. Therefore, he abandons his strong position and goes to the wild to fight the Huns.

What's even more frightening is that this also proves this Han general's command skills and ability to mobilize his subordinates.

Unless he was a veteran general who had been in the army for a long time and was familiar with the Xiongnu's fighting methods, it would be impossible for him to make such a targeted march arrangement.

"I, the king, have already found out that the general of the Han army commanding the army this time is the Da Nong Ling of the Han Dynasty!" Yin Zhixie said slowly.

In order to find out who the leader of the Han army was, he paid the price of more than 200 cavalry, captured several Han prisoners, and tortured him before he learned this information.

The Hun nobles in the tent looked at each other.

No doubt? Who is that?

Not at all on the Huns’ list of ‘old friends’.

"The deputy general is the bodyguard of the Han Dynasty emperor, Cheng Bushi of the Huben Guards..." Yin Zhixie continued.

If there is no doubt that there are still Huns who have heard of it, then this so-called Cheng Bushi just jumped out of the stone.

Many people were extremely surprised.

Originally, some people thought that the commander-in-chief of this Han army, if not Zhou Yafu, the first general and prime minister of the Han Dynasty, should at least be those old friends who had been entangled with the Xiongnu outside Yanmen Pass for twenty or thirty years in the past.

This made many Hun nobles feel as uncomfortable as eating flies.

The Han Dynasty randomly sent two cats and dogs to fight with us?

Some people even feel that their self-esteem has been deeply hurt.

"Then where did Zhou Yafu go?" Yin Zhixie stood up and uttered a deafening question that made countless people feel chills on their necks.

The first general in the Han Dynasty, Prime Minister Zhou Yafu.

He and the Xiliu Camp he commanded were well-known in the Xiongnu country.

In March, the Wu-Chu coalition was destroyed, causing hundreds of thousands of rebels to collapse overnight.

Such achievements convinced the Huns who always only obeyed the strong.

Now, in the hearts of the Xiongnu nobles in this tent, they naturally and subconsciously believed that since the Han emperor had been prepared, he would definitely send his most powerful general Zhou Yafu as the supreme commander of the Han army.

When asked by Yin Zhixie, countless people turned their attention to the direction of Wuzhou Fortress.

"Is he in Wuzhou?" Aries Wang Gushe stood up tremblingly and said.

This is the only possibility.

In the hearts of the Huns, probably only the most famous general of the Han Dynasty could pull off such a trick.

Countless people took a deep breath.

Although the Huns never fought against Zhou Yafu and his Xiliu Camp.

But just looking at the past ten years or so, both the Juzhu Army and the Feihu Army of the Han Army were willing to let Xiliu Camp be the boss.

From this incident, we can know how terrifying this enemy and his Xiliu camp are.

"It's not certain yet..." Yin Zhi shook his head and said, "But in my opinion, nine times out of ten, this is probably the case!"

In Yin Zhixie's opinion, the Han Dynasty has indeed carried out mobilization and combat deployment in advance.

Otherwise, could it be that the Feihu Army and Juzhu Army behind Mayi City, as well as the Xiliu Camp that was suspected of capturing Wuzhou Fortress, fell from the sky?

If this is the case, then Zhou Yafu and his Xiliu Camp can only be blocked in Wuzhou.

Apart from that trump card, Yin Zhixie could not think of any other army in the Han Dynasty that could suddenly appear behind him without anyone noticing, seize Wuzhou Fortress, and still have the confidence to defend the fortress leading to the grassland.

No wonder Yin Zhixie and the Huns thought so.

At this time, technological changes and tactical development are an extremely slow process.

From the king of chariots and soldiers to the king of cavalry, China has gone through hundreds of years of development.

Until now, many counties and counties still have chariots and soldiers.

Under such circumstances, most of the Huns' thinking and thinking methods were still stuck on the events that Yin Zhixie's father saw in the Han Dynasty five years ago when he led his army south.

Little did they know that in five years, earth-shaking changes had taken place in China.

In the past five years, the number of war horses in the Han Dynasty has tripled from less than 100,000 to nearly 300,000.

In the past five years, the number of cavalry in the Han Dynasty has gone from less than 30,000 to now, including light cavalry, archers and cuirassiers. The total number of cavalry is as high as 150,000.

The world was changed beyond recognition, but the Huns still stayed in the impression of the past.

They are still living in the dream of "labor and management control 400,000 yuan and be the only one in the world".

Even in the country, there are smart people who have seen or discovered something.

They are also bound by inherent impressions and established ways of thinking.

This is just like when many Chinese people in later generations mentioned neon, their first reaction was the Bagh Ya Road during the War of Aggression against China.

Little do they know that in Neon China, all the Showa men have long since died and withered away.
