The news that the three kings of Northern Hu gathered heavy troops to attack Luoyang quickly spread from military pigeons to Chang'an.Jin Xuan summoned all the important officials stationed in Chang'an to discuss countermeasures urgently.
Zhuge Liang said: The elite cavalry in the court and the field have reached 1.35 million, and the new cavalry industry in the border counties has more than 600,000, and the total cavalry force is nearly 2 million.The total number of Northern Hu soldiers and horses remains is more than 2 million.The two armies have similar forces, and the Northern Hu is not an opponent of our army.Elite infantry can also rely on equipment and set up a chariot array to display their specialties.If the elite troops in the country are gathered to fight to the North Hu, they will definitely win in one battle.This is a quick battle strategy, but our soldiers will suffer a lot.If the early tactics are adopted, the strength of the Beihu country will gradually be consumed, while the strength of our army will gradually increase.If you delay for a while, you will get the results without fighting.This is a long battle strategy, so our soldiers will suffer less losses.
Zhong Hui said: In addition to having powerful cavalry, our army has strong defense and advanced defense equipment, which are also powerful advantages.If troops are sent to defend Luoyang, make full use of the power of city defense and equipment, and consume the Beihu soldiers, they will use their strengths to attack their weaknesses.Our army has 600,000 elite infantrymen, and they can play their strengths when fighting in the city.
Most of the ministers involved in the court congregation and agreed to defend Luoyang's city.
The two generals Pang Tong and Jiang Wei commanded their troops to guard Chang'an at this time and entered the North Korea to participate in the court meeting.
Pang Tongdao: Our army's guerrilla tactics are flexible and changeable, the Light Cavalry Legion acts quickly and has strong mobility.The Beihu was harassed by the Light Cavalry Army, and most of the Beihu food, grass and animal herds were plundered by our army.Now the Northern Hu gathered troops to attack Luoyang, hoping to force our army to fight to the decisive battle.If our army protects the city, the Northern Hu army will either attack Hongnong in the west, Yecheng in the east, or Wancheng in the south, and will definitely force our army to fight to the decisive battle with it.Our domestic counties have empty defense.Once the Beihu tiger and wolf army is lost, the consequences will be unimaginable.The meaning of ruling is to gather troops to fight the Northern Hu, gather 3 million elite troops in the country, and also be supplemented by powerful weapons such as sky thunder. The Northern Hu can be determined by one battle.If the Hu army hesitates and attacks our domestic counties, the defense area will be expanded, which will be detrimental to our army.
Jiang Wei also said: The combat effectiveness of our army today is much stronger than that of the Northern Hu. What's more, the newly trained cavalry in the border counties are all heavy on cavalry, which is conducive to decisive battles.One million heavy cavalry is supplemented by 600,000 infantry chariot formations, and its combat power is already better than the Northern Hu soldiers. One million and two million light cavalry are fighting side by side, and they can go down in one go.A quick battle and quick decision will also benefit our army's long-term development. If we can completely wipe out the main forces of the Northern Hu, our northern border troubles will be eliminated, and the defense forces of border counties will be reduced. We can draw troops out of the Western Regions, Ding Annan, and going to the east to completely eliminate border troubles from Cute buds.I also requested a decisive battle.
After hearing the different opinions of the ministers, Jin Xuan weighed the pros and cons and decided to gather troops and fight the decisive battle with the Northern Hu.
Jin Xuan said: I have made up my mind to annihilate the main force of the Northern Hu in one battle.The Eighth Route Light Cavalry Corps continued to harass the rear of the Beihu, inquiring about the main force of the Beihu army and horses to prevent the Beihu from attacking other border counties in our country when our army and horses gathered in Luoyang.The heavy cavalry army gathered in Luoyang to prepare for war.The soldiers of the border counties left few soldiers to defend the city, and the rest went to Luoyang to gather.All border counties have launched militias and reserve troops to defend the city.The new equipment stored in the Armory can be fully equipped with the Luoyang army. This battle will surely intimidate the world.
All the civil and military officials bowed together and went back to prepare.
The Eighth Route Light Cavalry Legion was ordered by Jin Xuan. One took the opportunity to harass and attack the tribes of the Northern Hu to reduce their overall strength; the other was to send reconnaissance cavalry to pay close attention to the main trends of the Northern Hu army.
The three kings of Northern Hu gathered their troops and trained their troops at this time, and the army chose a day to march towards Luoyang.On August 18th, the weather was hot, and the Northern Hu army reached the plain a hundred miles north of Luoyang.
At this time, the Chinese army had formed a formation to welcome him, and Xiahou Chun and other heavy cavalry corps were rank in front of the battle formation.Jin Xuan personally visited the battlefield and built a platform with Zhuge Liang and others on the high ground on the side of the military formation to direct the battle with flags.
Seeing the Chinese army forming a formation, Cherigi said to the soldiers: Chinese soldiers are brutal. We are fighting here to avenge our compatriots.This battle is related to the fate of the Northern Hu. If the Chinese army is defeated, our army can directly use the Central Plains, letting you take the wealth, women, food and grass.If we don’t work hard in this battle, we will not have a place to bury ourselves, and all the tribes in the north will perish.
The Hu soldiers were indignant and eager to fight because the Chinese cavalry robbed all the tribes and massacred males.He also greedy for the wealth of Central Plains, and his morale is even higher.
The two armies were facing each other, and Cheriji said to Shanyu and King Midang: The enemy's battle formations are all heavy cavalry in front of each other. Although the heavy cavalry has strong combat power, their speed is slow. Our army can avoid its edge, and bypass the heavy cavalry formation in two routes, and directly attack the enemy infantry formation in the rear.If infantry disintegrate, they will storm the Light Cavalry regiment behind them. Our army will take the Light Cavalry regiment directly to avoid heavy cavalry formations from fighting, defeat the Light Cavalry regiment, and take Luoyang straight.
The troops agreed to the promise, Cheriji, Midang King, and the Xiongnu Khan each led the elite cavalry to bypass the front battlefield, circled from both sides to the rear of the battle formation, and directly attacked the infantry formation behind the formation.
Although the legions saw the changes in the battle situation, they did not obey the military order and remained stable.
Jin Xuan commanded the battle on the high platform, Zhuge Liang on the left and Pang Tong on the right.
When Zhuge Liang saw the movements of the Northern Hu army, he said: The army knew the power of the foreign heavy cavalry regiment, avoiding the real and the weak.Our army can use the strategy and order the infantry to retreat two miles quickly and form a carriage to respond to the enemy.The heavy cavalry rear army Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Chun retreated to the infantry corps to support the infantry.The remaining heavy cavalry legions advanced two mile to give up space, allowing the Northern Hu army to gather between the infantry formation and the heavy cavalry.Except for the three armies of Lu Bu, Guan Yu and Huang Zhong, who left support, the other armies blocked the two sides and blocked the retreat route of the Northern Hu army.In this way, our army will be able to encircle and annihilate this army after completing the encirclement.In addition to supporting the three armies of Lu Bu, Guan Yu and Huang Zhong, they were responsible for pursuing deserters.
Jin Xuan issued a flag order, and the legions followed the order.The soldiers were each in their own lineup and quickly arrived at the position of military orders.
At that time, there were a total of 600,000 infantrymen, plus 200,000 heavy cavalrymen under Xiahou Chun and Xiahou Yuan. They had just arrived at the designated location and stood at the corner of the formation. The Northern Hu cavalry arrived.
The infantry was very skilled in using the chariot formation. When the Northern Hu cavalry came, all the troops acted in sequence.
The giant crossbow soldiers took the lead in killing the Hu army that entered the range, and then the powerful crossbow soldiers showed their power.
There were countless soldiers in the Northern Hu army, but there were many people and many people, rushing up to the infantry formation.
When the infantry saw the Hu soldiers approaching, they stepped back in the formation and immediately formed the chariot formation.The Hu soldiers and horses in front of the Hu soldiers were blocked by the chariot formation and could not advance. The Hu soldiers rushed up again behind them, and the Hu soldiers formed a group in front of the chariot formation.
The Chinese infantry suddenly threw out a spherical object and threw it into the dense areas of the North of the Hu soldiers.Only loud noises were heard, and wherever the spherical body went, there were corpses everywhere, blood and blood, and the Northern Hu army suffered heavy casualties.
It turns out that this thing is a new type of Chinese secret weapon, thunder.
Made with purified explosives, a powerful weapon similar to modern grenades.
The old type of thunder is put into trial on the battlefield, and its power is not very powerful.
Jin Xuan went to the research institute to guide researchers to improve the principles of purification, explosion principles, preservation methods, etc.
Based on the principle of Jinxuan upgrade, the researchers developed purified explosives. The thunder created by purified explosives is extremely lethal and amazingly powerful.
Seeing the power of the thunder in the sky, the Northern Hu soldiers were frightened and did not dare to move forward.
At this time, the Chinese army had already encircled, and all channels on all sides were blocked by the Chinese army.
In front of the Northern Hu soldiers was a Chinese infantry formation, and the heavy cavalry formation was slowly squeezing forward from behind, and the light cavalry army sealed the sides.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Cheriji waved his sword and shouted: Everyone rushed forward, and the infantry was easily broken.
After saying that, he took the lead and took the lead in killing.Seeing that Cheriji was brave enough to take the lead, Hu Bing was moved by him and followed him and fought desperately forward.
The infantry legion had a chariot formation to block the cavalry's rushing momentum, and a thunder as a supplement to block the attack of the Beihu soldiers.
The Northern Hu army was full of soldiers and horses, and more than 2 million soldiers were attacking the infantry formation. For a moment, several chariot formations were almost broken into the gap.
Fortunately, the heavy cavalry corps under Xiahou Chun and Xiahou Yuan were divided into ten groups, each of which was 20,000 heavy cavalry, blocking the dangerous places and barely resisting the crazy impact of the Northern Hu soldiers.
Zhuge Liang said: The elite cavalry in the court and the field have reached 1.35 million, and the new cavalry industry in the border counties has more than 600,000, and the total cavalry force is nearly 2 million.The total number of Northern Hu soldiers and horses remains is more than 2 million.The two armies have similar forces, and the Northern Hu is not an opponent of our army.Elite infantry can also rely on equipment and set up a chariot array to display their specialties.If the elite troops in the country are gathered to fight to the North Hu, they will definitely win in one battle.This is a quick battle strategy, but our soldiers will suffer a lot.If the early tactics are adopted, the strength of the Beihu country will gradually be consumed, while the strength of our army will gradually increase.If you delay for a while, you will get the results without fighting.This is a long battle strategy, so our soldiers will suffer less losses.
