Section 981: The troubled Huns(1/2)
Withdrawal is undoubtedly a military operation that requires the most technology!
Especially, withdrawal of troops after entering the enemy's territory and the enemy still has the ability to counterattack. Novel.
To ensure smooth contact with the enemy.
The day after the ceremony of sealing the wolf Juxu, Zhang Yue personally led 4,000 elite cavalry to go west from Langjuxu Mountain, making an attacking gesture, and even making a crossing the river.
The Hun cavalry on the other side of Yuwushui was so scared that they had to retreat immediately, and retreated for more than a hundred miles, and retreated to the protection area of Zhao Xincheng.
Almost like a frightened bird!
There was no way. After the battle of Langyuan, Wei Lu and others who fled back to Mobei exaggerated the strength of the Han army in order to shirk responsibility as much as possible.
In the description of Wei Lu and others, almost every cavalry of the Han army was stronger than the Xiongnu's The Legend of the Condor Heroes.
He has the ability to penetrate the sun with hundreds of steps, and he has the strength to tear tigers and leopards.
In order to deepen this impression, some nobles who fled back even began to exaggerate the saying that "the Han cavalry is not as full as ten thousand, and is invincible."
At first, no one believed this statement.
In the past twenty-seven years since the decisive battle in Mobei, although the Huns were strategically suppressed by the Han army, they often won locally.
The fear of Han gradually faded.
At least, in the past twenty years, as long as the Huns stretched the front line, they could at least force the Han army to retreat!
So most people regard this statement as a joke.
However, in the battle of Hequ, the main force of the Right Xian Wang Sheli was almost wiped out, and only a few people escaped.
Sheli's troops were the last mobile corps and elite troops left by the Huns in Mobei.
This made the Han army, who was originally sneered and disdained, immediately swept across the tribes in the northern part of the Mo.
For a moment, people were panicked, especially the Huns had always had the tradition of deifying the enemies who defeated, especially crushed themselves.
In the past century, just the examples clearly known to the Han Dynasty include Zhidu, the prefect of Yanmen County, Han Dynasty, Wei Shang, the prefect of Yunzhong County, Li Guang, the general Wei Qing, the Grand Sima Huo Qubing, and the contemporary general Li Guangli.
Especially Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, even now, are still men who the Huns dare not name.
Now, they face an enemy that seems unbeatable again.
So the foolish herders and slaves deified the enemy again.
In particular, some pro-Han aristocrats privately spread the legend of "Zhang Chiyou".
The tribes in the northern part of Mobei were full of fear of Zhang Yue’s battle flag.
This made Zhang Yue accomplish the strategic goal of expelling the Hun cavalry without much effort.
After forcing the Huns cavalry back to the vicinity of Zhaoxin City, the Han cavalry immediately began to alternate covers and retreated towards Guyan Mountain.
By noon on the eighth day of the fifth month of the summer of the second year of Yanhe, that was the time agreed upon by Zhang Yue and the so-called "Tu She Shaman" Peng Feng.
The Han cavalry completely escaped from the Langjuxu Mountain area.
By the afternoon of the 10th, he withdrew from Guyan Mountain area and entered the area of Pangyu Mountain.
At this time, the baggage troops and troops in front had basically crossed the Gonglu River and retreated into the Nanhou Mountain area.
This also means that unless the main Huns corps now cross the vast sea and go straight to the river valley in the Gonglu River, there is no force to prevent the Han army from withdrawing to the south of the desert.
………………………………
Turn the hour hand back for two days.
On the morning of the eighth day of the fifth month of the second year of Yanhe.
Just as the Han cavalry troops behind the hall began to evacuate from Langjuxu Mountain in an orderly manner and advance towards Guyan Mountain.
On the grassland north of Langju Mountain, south of Heishui River, and west of Yanran Mountain.
A Xiongnu cavalry, led by dozens of shaman priests, surrounded the Xiongnu's mother, and marched towards Langjuxu Mountain.
Along the way, although many people were worried.
Worried about the attacks of the Han Dynasty cavalry.
But fanatical religious sentiment dominated their behavior.
The shamans and priests kept cheering in their ears: "The great Tushe Shaman communicates with the spirits of heaven and earth. The spirits of all things tell the great Tushe Shaman that the Han people have retreated south! Now it is time for us to recover the holy mountain for the gods and the spirits of the sun and the moon, and regain the Dragon City!"
The mother, Zhuanqu, also swore to encourage her nobles: "I, the wife of the great Qihou Shanyu and the mother of the Hulugu Shanyu, assure you that the gods have revealed that our action will surely be successful through the Tushe Shaman!"
So, the thousands of people were trembling along the way and confidently approaching the Langjuxu area.
When they approached the Langjuxu area at noon.
They found that everything was like the prophecy of the 'Tushaman' they believed and respected several days ago.
There is no longer any shadow of the Han people around the Holy Mountain.
Some people even found some strange places in some places.
For example, in the north of Langjuxu Mountain, on the way they marched, there were giant shapes similar to footprints in the pastures in some places.
These grass footprints are dozens of steps long and several steps wide.
It was like a giant falling from the sky, walking towards Langjuxu Mountain.
The herdsmen and slaves were immediately fascinated by this miracle.
Nobles are not much better.
Everyone is crazy.
When they arrived at the foot of Langjuxu Mountain and did not see any trace of the Han army, this mood immediately reached its peak.
"Long live the god!"
"Long live the spirit of the sun and the moon!"
"Long live the great Tushe Shaman!"
Countless people kowtowed and worshipped in the direction of Yanran Mountain in a mad manner, extremely pious.
Two days later, when Peng Feng, the "Tu She Shaman" arrived at the foot of Langjuxu Mountain under the support of tens of thousands of believers and followers, this emotion reached its peak!
Immediately, under the witness of his mother, the hundreds of high-level Hun nobles and nearly 20,000 people, he ascended to the top of Wolf Juxu Mountain.
And officially accepted everyone's worship and gifts.
As a result, the fate of the Hun Empire went astray and moved into another river.
From this day on, everything has been beyond recognition.
Because on this day, the primitive shamanism of the Huns finally evolved from scattered and disordered toward a true religion.
For the first time, they had religious leaders who were widely supported and admired.
For the first time, they believed in someone's words so piously and thoroughly.
From then on, the Divine Power descended to the mortal world from illusory legends and stories.
Standing on Langjuxu Mountain, watching the cheers and worships like tsunami down the mountain.
Peng Feng finally showed a long-lost smile.
He closed his eyes slightly, grabbed them forward, and whispered: "I am a God!"
Then, he issued an order, requiring his followers and followers to publicly inform the Huns of the Tushe Shaman, the gods of heaven, the favored person of the sun and the moon, and the blessed person of all things, so that all the Huns would know.
His shamans and followers even instilled various stories and legends about him that had been fabricated long ago into all his followers.
Now that he has witnessed his own eyes the great cause of leading and guiding the recovery of the Holy Mountain and Dragon City, and witnessed many miracles and miracles, the simple herders and slaves, of course, believe it and even automatically imagined many more legendary and mythological stories.
And through these people, these tap water.
The legends and stories of Tushe Shaman quickly spread throughout the northern desert area.
At this time, the cavalry led by the left general of the Huns had just arrived in Zhaoxincheng.
Before he could even start deploying his troops, he was involved in political infighting in Zhao Xincheng!
Because, after confirming that the Han army retreated south.
Without external pressure, Zhao Xincheng quickly fell into a fierce struggle.
Those who support Hu Lu Gu and those who oppose Hu Lu Gu were formed into a group.
In fact, the nobles who originally supported Hu Lu Gu were already at a disadvantage.
but……
The oppositions have no backbone.
Some people tend to support the wise and fearfulness of the ancestors, some people plan to go to Beihai to invite King Yu to come back to preside over the major events, and some people even think that they should wait until their mother Yan comes back before making a decision.
As soon as this general Zuo returned to Zhao Xincheng, he was inevitably sent by various people to find out his ideas.
And what can he do?
Support Hu Lu Gu?
