Chapter 167: Fast, Extremely Fast
Huo Qubing is more clear than anyone else.
What will he face next.
To the west of the Yellow River, in short, it can be called Hexi.
The landform is complex and changeable, including the vast and uninhabited desert.
Going there, the land is vast and sparsely populated, even if you are holding a map, even if you have a guide, there are no indicators at all, on a land of flying sand and rocks.
You are still not sure where you are.
The enemy that Huo Qubing had to face was far more difficult than imagined.
At that time, the Xiongnu, Shan Yu was in the center, surrounded by virtuous kings, thus controlling the entire grassland.
In the area around the Hexi Corridor, King Hunxie and King Xiutu had hundreds of thousands of people who controlled strings, and to the north was a country controlled by the Huns.
To the south are the Qiang people who have allied themselves with the Xiongnu.
No matter which way the army is, in reality, its strength far exceeds Huo Qubing's 1 troops. Huo Qubing labored on an expedition, but they waited for work with ease.
Stretching for 50 kilometers, the land of [-] square kilometers seems to be as big as the world, and anyone can go there.
However, in fact, the landform itself divides the gaps one by one, which leads to the fact that there must be people guarding the road that must be passed.
Once you enter it, it is like a mud cow entering the sea. If you change some people, maybe not to mention combat, just the environmental factors may lead to the annihilation of the entire army.
Such a situation, such a difficulty, was foreseen by every soldier.
On Wushao Ridge.
Early spring.
The snow is still falling.
"General, is the place we are going to be farther west?"
One of Huo Qubing's soldiers looked at Huo Qubing and asked.
The ambitious Huo Qubing looked at everything in the distance, with his arms crossed.
"What? Scared?"
"Perhaps there are some. We have never been to those places, so we are inevitably a little worried." The soldier said.
And Huo Qubing laughed out loud at this moment.
"No one has been there, we are the first to go, no one has won a big victory, we are the first one to win a big victory. Kou can go, I can go too."
At this moment, Wushaoling seemed to have a soul. He looked at this high-spirited young man in fresh clothes and angry horse. He knew that at this moment, history had clearly and clearly remembered him.
The moment the horse's hoof was raised, it looked so young and so flying.
"set off!"
Once the sword is out of its sheath, it is doomed to be unstoppable!
Huo Qubing carefully chose a marching route that, in the eyes of ordinary people, is almost like a madman.
It crosses Lintao from Longxi, crosses the Yellow River via Lanzhou, and then enters the Hexi Corridor via Jingtai.
The craziest thing about this route is that it is almost completely interspersed at the border of the sphere of influence of the Huns and Qiangs.
And this means that once they are exposed, they will definitely be attacked by the Huns and the Qiang.
Of course Huo Qubing also understood this truth.
And he also understood another, simpler truth.
That is the world's martial arts, only fast can not break!
Fast, is the ultimate speed.
After crossing the Yellow River, he actually reached the territory of the Huns, but Huo Qubing didn't meet the first tribe of the Huns until he arrived in Jingtai.
In the north in March, the remaining snow has not subsided yet, cattle, horses, sheep and other livestock have experienced a winter, and they are the most vulnerable time.
And the Huns never imagined that there would be such a Han army in front of them.
Caught off guard, and even had no time to escape, Huo Qubing's cavalry rushed up and killed him directly.
Afterwards, it was as fast as lightning, advancing westward to the Hexi Corridor, breaking those who were attacked along the way, and conquering those who deserved it.
Arriving at the Hunu River, today's Shiyang Dahe, with a total length of [-] kilometers, nurtures lush aquatic plants and fierce opponents in the river basin.
And when those Huns discovered Huo Qubing.
Huo Qubing didn't give them any chance.
In this battle, Huo Qubing showed almost the pinnacle of cavalry attack tactics.
Within a day, in the Shiyang River Basin, the cavalry led by Huo Qubing was like a whirlwind, weaving and interspersing, giving full play to the mobility advantage of the cavalry.
On this day, Qiemo, Dangtian, and other tribes were slaughtered. The Huns were caught off guard and could only flee in all directions.
Here Huo Qubing is still good, generals may start burning, killing and looting on the spot, the three-light policy, this thing is not uncommon in ancient armies.
But Huo Qubing didn't do that.
To those who submit, He gives security, but to those who resist, He gives the sword.
After that, without stopping, at midnight that day, it directly hit King Xiutu's court.
It's a suffocating speed.Even the people and horses may not have any rest.
At that time, King Xiutu had no idea that such a Han army was coming, and it could even be said that even those who fled had not yet arrived at the city of King Xiutu.
For such a terrifying attack, there is only one thing for King Xiutu.
run!That is to run!
The Huns are not good at defending the city, let alone such a panic situation?
When the Han army arrived, the city gate had already been breached, and if they stayed in the city, it would undoubtedly be a self-inflicted trap.
He ran away.
But in his panic, he seemed to have forgotten something.
In the crumbling King Xiutu's bedroom, Huo Qubing looked at the little golden man in front of him, and weighed it in his hand.
"This is the king of the Huns? I don't feel very good."
The lieutenant at the side, however, stared wide-eyed.
"General! General! This is the Tianjin people! The Tianjin people! This is the treasure of the Huns, baby!"
"Oh? Baby? It seems that our attack this time is not bad. But that's it, the real baby, but now he is still running away!
Tell everyone!Looting is not allowed, he will be raised on the spot, and follow me out of the city tomorrow!Beheading the head of King Xiutu is the real victory! "
Huo Qubing spoke sharply.
"Yes!" No one resisted the general's order.
Because everyone knows that this young general is leading them to create unparalleled brilliance!Destroy the Huns!Harvest and offer sacrifices to the Tianjings!This is a feat that has never been done before!
So then.
Huo Qubing led his troops across Yanzhi Mountain in six days, sweeping across the tribe of King Xiutu for thousands of miles.
And in it, the main force of King Hunxie and King Xiutu that he met was defeated in one battle.
King Xiutu and King Hunxie fled again.
Arriving here, it can already be said to be extremely brilliant, but the matter is not over yet.
On the side of Yanzhi Mountain, King Xiutu and King Hunxie, who fled in embarrassment, met King Zhelan and King Luhu who came to reinforce them.
They will never resign themselves to failure!
It is a great shame to be driven out of the royal city by an army of ten thousand people led by a mere 19-year-old general, and to take away the tribal fetish!
The seriousness of the matter is about the same as that an unknown Huns army of [-] people suddenly rushed into Chang'an, drove away Liu Che, and took away Liu Che's ancestral tablet by the way.
No one can bear this kind of thing!
So they swear!To make a comeback!
And King Zhelan who arrived gave them this confidence, because the cavalry under King Zhelan were the most elite among the Xiongnu.
Zhelan rides.
From the time when Maodun Shanyu was young, he won more than ten battles in one year and beheaded the king of Donghu, destroyed Donghu, and expanded the sphere of influence of the Xiongnu.Afterwards, the South and the North fought, and almost the entire northern grassland was taken.
Later, Zhe Lanqi defeated the Da Yue Clan, which completely established their undefeated reputation.
Da Yuezhi sounds like a mere fish, but it is actually a super nomadic power that has occupied the grassland for 400 years, but it was almost defeated by Zhe Lanqi, a tribe of the Huns.
Its elite strength is naturally evident.
And such a duel between the tip of the needle and the maimang naturally made this battle extremely tragic.
