Chapter 213 Han Bai Weihuo, the military strategist Dashan
In the early morning, the sun shines through the mist.
"If these Xiongnu soldiers were not fooled, would Huo Hou have other means to defeat the enemy?"
Seeing the Xiongnu troops retreating in panic, still standing behind the city wall, shrouded and hidden by the force that concealed the military plan, Zhang Jun, who did not show up, breathed a sigh of relief.
He was also quite frightened in his heart. This strategy is really good. If it is false, it will be real, if it is real, it will be false, and if it is false, it will be false. The true and false will be confused, which will make the Huns themselves suspicious and secretive, and deeply understand the purpose of using troops in a deceitful way.<
/p>
It is used because of the enemy, which corresponds to the true meaning of "the force of war is impermanent" in "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu.
Zhang Jun thought about the process just now and felt that eight out of ten generals were fooled.
There are two left, one is the type of Hao Qisheng. After receiving Huo Qubing's order, he will carry it out to the end. I don't care if you have an ambush. I will rush in all the way and beat you to the ground. If there is a trap, I will fight with you until you die. When encountering a huge victory, any plan is useless except hard power.
The one left in the end is the one who can truly see through the enemy's situation and see through the reality.
Therefore, Zhang Jun was very curious as to what other methods Huo Qubing had to deal with if his opponent could see through the reality.
"If you can't use tricks, you can only compete with each other and fight for dominance."
Huo Qubing said: "There are eight or nine thousand enemy troops coming, and we are really going to kill them. We are defending the city. The wall at the border is thick and high, and reinforcements can come at any time. However, the Huns are not good at attacking the city, and there is no outward appearance.
The difference in strength is so big, you have to fight to know the outcome."
"However, the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered. A head-on confrontation is always a bad idea. It would be better to let the Huns withdraw on their own now.
Using tricks to confuse the enemy and lead them to retreat is the middle strategy."
Zhang Jun was a little surprised. He had both a bad strategy and a middle strategy, so what was the best strategy?
And in Huo Qubing's mind, the method of retreating the enemy in an empty city is just a middle-of-the-road strategy?
"You passed the order. Later, the Huns were confused by our empty city and retreated on their own. This made the Huns generals doubt their lives. It was known to the whole world that they chose to withdraw in the face of the empty city. This was like a nail.
It will be deeply rooted in their hearts.
It is difficult for these two people to achieve anything in the military."
Those who attack people attack the heart first. If this matter were to become known to the whole world, the two Huns generals would be much more serious than being killed by society. The wounds in their hearts would be torn apart and they would be humiliated for life. The understanding of war tactics at the spiritual level,
A huge loophole will appear, and we can only retreat from now on.
"Why don't Marquis Huo give this method of defeating the enemy a name?"
Zhang Jun was very interested: "This strategy does not require a single soldier to repel the enemy. Its subtlety is comparable to Han Xin's strategy of secretly crossing Chencang. It can be included in the category of military strategies handed down by military strategists."
"Since we are retreating from the enemy in an empty city, it should be called the empty city strategy."
In Huo Qubing's consciousness, as expected, a new plan was being opened in the military book, which was the Empty City Plan.
"What is imaginary is imaginary, and doubt arises from doubt; when it is hard and soft, it is strange and strange again."
It means that when the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered, we lack military equipment and deliberately signal to others that there are no military equipment, causing the enemy to misunderstand and thus scare away the enemy. It also generally refers to the strategy of concealing the emptiness of one's own strength and confusing the opponent.<
/p>
Along with the opening of the Empty City Strategy, there is also a kind of luck brought about by the birth and first appearance of this strategy.
Huo Qubing was the founder of this strategy.
The military tactics that emerged from it fluctuated violently, and the entire military book, as well as Huo Qubing's military practice, were affected.
The creation of a military strategy handed down from generation to generation has brought about a greater accumulation of luck for military strategists than Huo Qubing expected.
He could feel the strength inside his body rising, pushing him to advance to the next level.
Huo Qubing and Zhang Jun walked out from behind the city wall and climbed to the top of the city. The Huns soldiers outside the city had quickly disappeared.
"Huo Hou, I and others made a rude mistake just now. I didn't expect that Huo Hou had no soldiers and could use clever strategies to defeat the enemy... I don't know how to fight, so don't blame Huo Hou!" Yao Xing and others stepped forward to salute.
Others looked excited and planned to talk loudly, feeling that they had made a contribution just now.
"Get out!"
Huo Qubing said in a deep voice: "If you don't understand military affairs, why didn't I see that you just said a few words less? If you disturb the morale of the army before the war, and cause chaos before the war, it is not an exaggeration to punish you and wait for death.
When you see the enemy retreating, your attitude immediately changes, and you become arrogant at first and respectful at the end, just like a villain.
You are the prefect of Bianguan Zhang, so give him some face before leaving you to wait for your life."
Huo Qubing has always paid little attention to things that have nothing to do with his own goals, but that doesn't mean that he will wrong himself or accommodate others.
Civil servants can be so blind, who will tolerate your bad habits?
What he meant was that, on the one hand, he was at the border and it was not easy to drag Zhang Jun’s men out and kill them directly. On the other hand, it would be a mistake for the military general to command troops at the border, interfere with local government orders, and kill local officials. Otherwise, Yao Xing would have been killed long ago.
Wait for someone to kill them all.
Yao Xing and others thought that in the officialdom, everyone would carry the sedan chair and just give each other a step, but they didn't expect Huo Qubing to be so rude.
The faces of all the people turned red and they wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
Several people looked at Zhang Jun for help, but Zhang Jun pretended not to see it and did not react at all.
Yao Xing and others were helpless and were about to leave in embarrassment together when Huo Qubing suddenly said: "Wait a minute, the Huns soldiers will come back later. Don't leave in a hurry. You can go out of the city to fight with them later. You should atone for your sins."
.
If you kill one Xiongnu soldier, you will be exempted from the crime. If you kill many people, I will not be punished."
The corners of Bai Nanyu's mouth under the mask were slightly raised. Huo Qubing put his past remembrance above his immunity. Another person would never say such a thing.
Yao Xing and others were surprised:
"Are the Huns soldiers coming back?"
"The Huns are not fools. If we really set up an ambush, how could we allow them to leave so easily?"
Huo Qubing said calmly: "They won't chase me when they see me, and they will come back to their senses before they can run fifty miles."
This time, no one panicked. Even those whose faces were flushed with shame did not care about their shame and moved forward, appearing to be listening attentively.
Zhang Jun said: "What's our plan this time?"
Others also pretended to be waiting for orders.
Huo Qubing: "When they come back, it will be difficult to deceive them.
But after they come back, they will be extra careful and test again and again, and they will not dare to enter the city easily. We will still keep the city gate wide open and do nothing else, and they will wander outside the city and dare not come in rashly. p>
Yao Xing and you guys take advantage of the situation and take advantage of the situation to fight out and be the vanguard."
"Shall we go out of the city to kill the enemy?"
"We have never been in a battle, please show mercy to Marquis Huo!" Yao Xing and others' expressions changed in shock.
……
The sun is shining brightly in the sky.
The Xiongnu soldiers and horses galloped wildly, with Ji Ge and Qi Musu leading the way. Suddenly they were dozens of miles away, but the rear was always quiet.
Jigo and Qi Musu looked at each other while galloping, and invariably slowed down their horses, and finally reined in their horses and stopped.
"Something is wrong..."
Only then did these two people come back to their senses.
"That's not quite right."
"If the Han army really had an ambush, why didn't they see half of their pursuers? We were allowed to escape without any harm."
"Just now... was it a Han people's trick to confuse the enemy?"
"It's not like... How can a plan to confuse the enemy be so real?"
When the two were doubtful, they both turned to look in the direction of Hanguan.
What happened next was very different from what Huo Qubing expected.
The two realized they might have been deceived.
If it is true, then the Han army did not send out a single soldier and deceived them into evacuating in fear. This is not very harmful, but it is extremely insulting.
Feeling that their intelligence had been insulted, the two men became murderous and turned their horses around, leading them back to Hanguan.
But in the end, I was still mostly unsure. I saw that Hanguan was still the same as before, with the city gate wide open and not a single soldier in sight.
This time even the woman at the top of the city disappeared.
Ji Ge and Qi Mu Su sent a small group of scouts to gallop outside the city repeatedly to test the reality inside the city.
At this moment, there was a drum sound in the city, followed by the fierce beating of war drums, which was as loud as a thunderstorm.
There are shadows inside and outside the city, and behind the low hills in the distance, there are also ambushed soldiers and horses of the Han army, looming, preparing to encircle them.
The situation has changed, just like a repeat of what happened just now!
Ji Ge and Qi Musu sneered in unison: "It turns out that I only know these tricks, and I have tried them twice. How could I still be fooled?"
Instead, the two of them settled down and concluded that the Han army was really out of troops, not a lie, and they were about to order an attack on the city.
Suddenly I felt the ground shaking and the horses' hooves thundering.
Behind the low hill in the distance, a Han army really rushed out. Their formation was as sharp as a long dragon, their war spears were high, and they were full of murderous intent.
The Xiongnu soldiers and horses came and went again and again, and the scorching sun rose into the sky for almost half a day.
Huo Qubing told Zhang Jun before that he had troops deployed all the way and would return to the defense soon.
Right now.
The Huns had missed the opportunity to break the city.
This time it was the real Han army that rushed out, not the tactics of suspicious soldiers.
The leading general is in his thirties, burly and leading the way. He is Zhang Cigong, who must be the vanguard to kill the enemy: "Who dares to fight with me!"
Zhang Cigong galloped on his horse, and the elite Han troops behind him were about the same number as the Huns.
However, the momentum of both sides is completely different.
The ones who rushed out were really Han troops. It gave the Xiongnu side the feeling that their judgment was wrong again. The Han people indeed had an ambush. They didn't pursue them just now, but they came back on their own initiative to send them to the door and got into the ambush.
Being fooled around!
This kind of virtual reality is hidden in the virtual world, and the unpredictable changes in virtual reality are particularly serious in the heart. It will make the enemy lose confidence in his own judgment. This is the feeling of being manipulated in the palm of your hand.
The so-called advance and retreat are exactly the portrayal of the two Huns generals.
In this case, they no longer have the confidence to win.
Ji Ge was left with only blood and courage. He waved his short halberd and said with red eyes: "Fight with the Han people, the winner will live and the loser will die!"
Buzz!
Arrows and lightning!
Jigo suddenly felt like he was locked in the air by a spiritual force.
And in his consciousness, an astonishing roar of a tiger was heard, his soul was shaking, and his thoughts seemed to be frozen.
It was because of the lack of reaction at this moment that the outcome was decided.
The arrow pierced the throat.
Although it was just an arrow, the power contained in it carried Jigo's strong figure flying several feet away from the horse.
He was shot and was still breathing. Before he died, he tried his best to turn his head and look towards the city.
I don’t know when there was a general in silver armor and red robes at the top of the city. He was holding a huge bow and hunting in robes. He seemed to be able to fly down from the top of the city at any time.
Han general Huo Qubing... This was the last scene and last thought that Ji Ge saw, and then his vision went black and he fell to the ground and died.
Huo Qubing's current practice has made him so powerful that he can kill an enemy general with an arrow through his throat!
At the city gate below, a group of trembling people rushed out.
However, Huo Qubing forced them to have no choice but to let them kill the enemy on the battlefield, otherwise Yao Xing and others would be punished for disturbing the morale of the army.
Jigo was shot dead at the beginning of the battle, and the remaining fighting will and bravery of the Huns soldiers also declined to the bottom.
Under the leadership of Qi Musu, they tried to retreat in an orderly manner, with some soldiers and horses standing behind and others quickly withdrawing.
However, when Zhang Cigong and his men pressed forward, strangulating and tearing apart the Huns' troops from three sides, the retreat of the Huns gradually turned into a rout.
The war lasted from morning to afternoon, with swords clashing and blood splattering. In the end, only some remnants of the Huns were able to escape.
It is foreseeable that this battle will be passed down from generation to generation and well-known because of the empty city strategy.
It would have become a joke in the current world. Nearly ten thousand Xiongnu soldiers were deceived into obedience and retreated on their own. When they came back, they were killed and stripped of their armor. It will be talked about by the world.
At the same time, at the moment when the battle was won, Huo Qubing's consciousness changed again.
Lingluo Soldier Talisman, connect to the ancient well again, and get the special well wall symbol from it.
This time there is more than one symbol.
The benefits of commanding the war to victory and extracting from the well are far more than killing the Huainan King and capturing Wei Na's Huns team!
In the consciousness, dozens of well symbols emerged at the same time, intertwined and combined, forming a new simple ancient scroll.
After this ancient scroll was formed, it collapsed again, and countless spell marks fell on the leaves of the Lingluo Talisman.
At this moment, the light of the Lingyi Soldier Talisman shines brightly in the eyes, as if they are filled with stars, which is extremely magical.
"Is it a method that promotes the use of the Lingwei Soldier Talisman, and can it be combined with the military strategist's own practice?"
Huo Qubing's eyes sparkled: "This method is quite special."
