Chapter 345: Battle of Macheng
Chapter 345: Battle of Horse City
Just when the Wuhuan tribes were still arguing about the throne of the Great Shanyu, Zhao Xin in Macheng had decided to launch a final decisive battle against the Wuhuan people. In fact, after Zhao Xin came to the northern border, he had never fought with the Wuhuan people for a single battle, but he didn't want to wait any longer, because after defeating the Wuhuan people, he would still have to lead troops back to fight with the Qin army and regain the lost Nanshangdang and Pei County. Therefore, this time was both a first battle and a decisive battle.
Macheng, Zhao Xin summoned the generals to discuss the decisive battle in Macheng, and Zhao Xin did not explain too much about this battle. After all, the tactics of the Wuhuan people are really not satisfactory. To be honest, fighting with the Wuhuan people is far from exciting to Han Qing and Bai Qi.
"Tomorrow's decisive battle, I have only one purpose, that is, to completely destroy the Wuhuan army and exchange for ten years of peace for our northern border of Zhao!" Zhao Xin said to everyone seriously that a battle to exchange for ten years of peace was Zhao Xin's goal. As for completely pacifying the grassland, Zhao Xin dared not imagine that the grassland was not suitable for the survival of Zhao people, and there was no benefit if it got it. The Hu people on the grassland were also a centipede worm that died without being stiff. However, in ten years, Zhao Xin still had confidence. As long as the northern border had ten years of peace, Zhao Xin would have the confidence to completely resolve the two countries of Deng and Qin. Even if they could not be destroyed, Deng and Qin would no longer be able to compete with Zhao.
"Please give the order!" the generals bowed and replied!
Zhao Xin looked around everyone and said, "Li Rengong, Le Ting obeys the order!"
"The last one is here!" Li Rengong and Leting came out and responded!
"I ordered you two to command 50,000 cavalry. When our army fights the Wuhuan army, we will penetrate from the two wings to the rear of the enemy at the fastest speed, and cut off the retreating path of the Wuhuan army!" Zhao Xin said.
"The last general will receive the order!" the two responded!
"The other generals will go to war tomorrow, and they don't need to pay attention to the rules. They just need to fight the enemy to the death. The Wuhuan people have always bullied the weak and feared the strong. As long as our army is more fierce than the Wuhuan people, the Wuhuan people will not dare to resist. In this way, our army will be sure to win!" Zhao Xin continued, whether it is the Wuhuan people or the Xiongnu people, the Xianbei people, all advocate the strong. As long as you perform better than them and more fiercely than them, they will not dare to resist. When it comes to fighting with the Hu people, Zhao Xin is confident and in the whole world, the Zhao army recognizes the second, and no one dares to recognize the first. I think that since the establishment of the country, Zhao State first fought with the Huns and the Wuhuan people, and they have all gained experience.
The reason why Zhao did not solve these Hu people in the past was that Zhao focused most of his attention on the Central Plains and focused on defense against the grasslands. However, although the Central Plains are at a disadvantage now, they can basically stabilize the situation. Zhao Xin also believes that no one dares to take the blame for the world and attack Zhao when Zhao State went to war with Wuhuan. Zhao Xin was also fed up with the harassment of Zhao State by the Wuhuan people, and then made up his mind to defeat Wuhuan in one fell swoop.
On the 10th day of the April 10th of the Qianyuan period, the Zhao army and the Wuhuan army formed a formation ten miles away from Macheng. When Zhao Xin and the Wuhuan army were looking at each other from afar, Zhao Xin found that the Wuhuan army of the east and west were a little distance away. Although it was not far away, only a few dozen steps, Zhao Xin could still see that there was a great difficulty between the Wuhuan army of the east and west, which was undoubtedly of great benefit to the Zhao army!
Zhao Xin looked at this scene and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He said to Sima Chong on the side: "It seems that the conflict between the two Wuhuans is quite big. Well, you can help me pass the order. When the war begins, a Wuhuan people who are dragging the west will not support it. As long as the Wuhuan people in the west do not support it, there is no need to fight to the death. Wait for my general's military order. All the rest will attack the Wuhuans in the east for me!"
"Here!" Sima Chong could see what Zhao Xin saw, so he nodded in response.
On the Wuhuan side of the western part, Tanbuwen Shanyu said to Jueli on the side: "When the war begins, let the tribe members not rush too quickly, let the aconitum people rush first and preserve their strength!"
"Here!" Jueli responded. The plan to use the Zhao army to weaken the Wuhuan in the eastern part had been agreed on in the morning. On the other hand, the aconitus Chanyu in the eastern part also thought so, but the aconitus Chanyu never dreamed that the Zhao army would come directly to him.
Facing Zhao Jun, Aconitou pulled out the scimitar from his waist and shouted loudly: "Wulhuan warriors, the Central Plains have bullied my grassland for many years. Today it is finally time for revenge. Take up the knife in your hands and kill me!"
"Kill! Kill!" Not only the people in the west, but even the Wuhuan people in the east were shouting in unison, but their pace of advancement was a little slow.
Seeing this, Zhao Xin smiled and said, "Let's start a war!"
With the order of Zhao Xin, hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops rushed towards the Wuhuan army. However, strangely, less than one-quarter of the troops rushed towards the Wuhuan in the west, while the rest were all killed towards the Wuhuan in the east. This made the Aconitu Shanyu confused. What's going on? Why did the Zhao army all rushed to him!
Sanjier, who was standing beside him, was shocked and said to the aconite Chanyu: "Big Chanyu, it's not good. Zhao Jun is coming to us. Look, the Zhao army on Tanbuwen is much less than us!"
"Damn it, send someone to tell Tanbuwen and ask him to come and support quickly, otherwise we can't hold on!" The Aconitu Chanyu glanced at the situation of Wuhuan in the west and found that the Zhao army rushing towards them was less than half of his. If the Aconitu Chanyu still couldn't figure it out at this time, then he would not deserve to be this big Chanyu.
On the other hand, Tanbuwen Shanyu saw the situation in the eastern Wuhuan and immediately smiled and thought to himself: Zhao army really knows what he is thinking. He cooperates so well. When facing the envoy sent by the Aconitu Shanyu to ask for help, Tanbuwen Shanyu said that he was also attacked by the Zhao army and it was difficult to rescue him for a while, so that the Aconitu Shanyu could hold on!
When the news reached the Aconitu Chanyu, the Aconitu Chanyu was furious and said, "Tanbuwen is a god-killing person. I want me to die. Wait. After I defeated the Zhao army, I will definitely be good-looking. Sanjeer, hurry up and let the Xianbei people take over!" Since the Aconitu Chanyu refused to come to rescue, the Aconitu Chanyu had to support himself. In order to preserve his strength, the Aconitu Chanyu directly let the Xianbei people take over.
In the past, when the Xianbei people sent troops, they all acted as a military force, and the ones who took the lead were always Wuhuan people. However, because the Wuhuan people took the lead, the things they grabbed naturally belonged to the Wuhuan people. Every time the Xianbei people sent troops, they could only get a little bit of things, and they had no way to meet the needs.
Sanjiel nodded and ran to the Xianbei people behind, but found that the Xianbei people had begun to retreat. Sanjiel couldn't even shout, so he had to go back and report to the Aconitu Chanyu and said, "The Great Khanyu is not good, the Xianbei people are about to run away!"
"What!" Hearing Sanjiel's words, the Aconitou Chanyu was shocked and said, "Damn Tuoba Alitu, when I return to Wuhuan Mountain, I will definitely want him to look good. Hurry up, hold it!" The Xianbei people ran away, and the pressure from the Zhao army could only be withstood by the Zhao army and ordered the army to hold it. However, the Wuhuan in the eastern part was stunned by the Zhao army at the beginning. The Zhao army was beaten fiercely and fiercely, and the Wuhuan people would definitely not be able to stop it. In this way, the Wuhuan in the eastern part was defeated by the Zhao army!
Zhao Xin, in the rear, saw that the eastern Wuhuan collapsed, so he ordered the army to leave one to continue to attack the eastern Wuhuan. The rest turned to attack the western Wuhuan. Tanbuwen Shanyu was very happy when he saw the Zhao army attacking the eastern Wuhuan of the Aconitui Shanyu at first. However, when the Zhao army turned its spear head and rushed towards him, he realized that something was wrong. Without the Aconitui Shanyu's troops, he was no match for the Zhao army at all, but his situation was much better than that of the Aconitui Shanyu. The Xianbei people of the Wuhuan in the eastern Wuhuan ran away, but the Huns under his command were still there, so he immediately let the Huns take over, and he took his people back.
Tanbuwen has begun to regret why he did not support the aconite just now, which has become isolated and helpless. Fortunately, with the Huns standing in front of him, he is prone to running away.
