The first thousand four hundred and thirty-two chapters create an opportunity
There are more than 5,000 assault cavalry in leather armor, more than 4,000 archers, and the remaining 5,000 troops are spearmen and sword and shield bearers. Of course, there are also some craftsmen among them. As long as they are given time, they can make trebuchets anytime and anywhere.
Make a bed crossbow.
However, even Zhuge Liang's ingenuity had no good solution to the Xiongnu's terrifying military strength.
Relying on the severely injured Yuan Jun found near the Great Wall, Zhuge Liang had obtained very important information. Before Guo Tu died for his country, he recorded all the information he collected in secret letters and handed them over to dozens of people to disperse and take them out.
This is also an important reason why Guo Tu died in the battle. If he had not known that he had withdrawn and the Northern Huns broke through the border, the plan of trial and distribution would have been destroyed, and the entire Youzhou would never be able to recover. How could Guo Tu grit his teeth in the military capital?
The mountain is dead.
But that was just the beginning. Later, when he was riding a tiger and couldn't get off, Guo Tu had no idea of being able to fight out alive. He desperately collected intelligence about the opponent, fought desperately to buy time for Shenpei, and successfully allowed Shenpei to annihilate them all in front of the military capital mountain.
Come to Xianbei.
However, the price was the soldiers and generals who defended Jundushan. Except for the dozens of soldiers who were responsible for delivering the news, all the others died for the country.
Thanks to Guo Tu for fighting to the death, otherwise Zhuge Liang might have an even bigger headache now. Essentially speaking, the Northern Huns who entered the Pass did not really have too many string-controllers who truly belonged to the Northern Huns. The other so-called Northern Huns soldiers, but
They are Xianbei, Jie, and Wuwan.
This is the news that Guo Tu ordered his people to send before he died. Just like the leader of a small country in An Yue, after gaining recognition from the Han Empire and witnessing the power of the Han Empire, he recognized his identity from the bottom of his heart.
My temperament has undergone an astonishing change.
An Yue, who was once submissive, already had the confidence to look directly at the Parthian nobles, and the Xianbei, Wuwan, and Jie tribes could also develop this kind of courage under the majesty of the Northern Huns.
If a sheep leads a little sheep, it will definitely turn into a kebab in the end, but if a lion leads a little lion, it will definitely stand at the top of the food chain.
"No matter how many Xianbei, Wuwan, and Jie tribes you kill, it will be useless. The Xiongnu will lead them. They can give us a three-to-one exchange ratio, and they may also recognize their identity more and more as the war continues." Zhuge Liang thought of that.
The seriously injured soldier repeated Guo Tu's words before he died, and his heart became even heavier.
This is basically the assimilation of a weak civilization by a strong civilization. However, compared to the civilization of the Han Empire and the Wusun, the Cheshi civilization is closer to the farming civilization. The Xiongnu civilization is more compatible to the nomadic civilizations of the Xianbei, Jie, and Wuwan.
higher.
[If you say this without hurting the Xiongnu headquarters, in essence, no matter how much you kill, they are just cannon fodder. Only by severely damaging the Xiongnu headquarters and shaking the strength of the Northern Huns in the minds of other foreigners can the problem be truly solved.] Zhuge Liang silently said
Thinking.
Speaking of which, the Northern Huns themselves don't have many troops, but they can't hold up the Xianbei on the grassland. There are so many black pills that they can't fight. Originally, one Han served as the Five Hus, but when they were replaced by the Northern Huns to command, one Han could only withstand three. The fighting power of the Hus was almost
It's doubled.
As for the headquarters of the Northern Xiongnu, even if Zhuge Liang did not see it, he had a guess in his mind that it would probably not be inferior to the top armies of the Han Empire.
[There are still many gaps in the information provided by Guo Gongze who worked hard. It seems that no matter what, it must be done to experience the opponent's strength personally.] Zhuge Liang thought calmly, since he was already in the north, even if his opponent was replaced by
After defeating the Northern Huns, the battle must still be fought!
Different from the previous small-scale test conducted by Li Tong, in order to truly determine the combat effectiveness of the Huns, it is absolutely impossible without a big battle. Today, it is estimated that only Shen Pei and Zhang Jia can truly know the combat effectiveness of the Huns.
"Kong Ming, shall we continue to move forward today?" Zhang Fei asked dully. Looking at the devastated Youzhou, Zhang Fei only felt that his breathing was not smooth.
"Keep moving forward, we are one step behind the Huns, and according to what I have gathered so far, the Northern Huns defeated the due south and the autumn wind almost swept away the fallen leaves. As a result, the courage of the Northern Huns may have pushed them to Jicheng in one go.
Already." Zhuge Liang said calmly.
"Then shall we go straight into the northern Xiongnu rear?" Zhang Fei asked.
"It's impossible. Not to mention the constant testing we ordered Wenda to do along the way. The Northern Xiongnu should have mixed some of their headquarters among the Xianbei, Wuwan, and Jie tribes, and led the tribesmen with real tribesmen." Zhuge Liang shook his head.
He shook his head and said.
"This is just like the Xiliang cavalry. They use the cavalry to lead the Qiang cavalry. The Qiang cavalry are just third-rate soldiers without anyone leading them, but under the leadership of the cavalry, they can compete with the Danyang soldiers." Zhuge Liang sighed and said.
, the Xiliang iron cavalry and the Qiang cavalry are enough to give the Qiang cavalry retinue the fighting power of front-line soldiers, and the same is true for the Xiongnu.
The Xiongnu's bastards were obviously different in their fighting style when they met Li Tong, which was very troublesome.
"If we don't attack the opponent's rear army, we will have food problems. We have traveled all the way from Liaodong and have not prepared much food." Zhang Fei said in a dull voice, knowing Zhuge Liang's intelligence.
So I wasn't angry.
"Wait a few more days." Zhuge Liang pressed his temples, unfolded his spiritual talents, and began to comprehensively think about the current situation, and soon became somewhat sure.
"Why?" Zhang Fei asked puzzledly. In his opinion, if they wait for a few more days, they will not see any change. On the contrary, they will fall into a more troublesome situation because of the problem of food and grass.
"Wait a few more days, we will have reinforcements, the army will be defeated, and the Xiongnu will invade Youzhou. This kind of thing cannot be hidden. The princes of the Central Plains can despise Zahu as much as they want, but only the northern Xiongnu must face it, and Bingzhou is the closest, so it will be closed
As soon as we get the news at the earliest, sending troops is inevitable." Zhuge Liang said calmly.
"Only we are definitely not the opponent of the Northern Huns. According to my estimation, even for the Lord, it is not easy to defeat the Northern Huns." Zhuge Liang said quietly, "What we have to wait for now are reinforcements.
."
"Are we just going to wait here?" Zhang Fei was already a little angry, but having said that, anyone who saw their great land being invaded by foreigners would probably also be furious.
"No, we have to create an opportunity for Bingzhou." Zhuge Liang said with a smile, "We tried our best to hide ourselves before, but at this distance, we have almost reached the limit. In this case, we will do the opposite and let the other party divert their attention.
When it comes to us, I believe that with Chen Gong’s wisdom, he will be able to seize this opportunity.”
