Chapter 343

Since the northern expedition was faced with a large number of enemy troops, most of them were cavalry, so how to deal with it needs to be carefully considered.

Liu Ye, on his way to March these days, has been discussing with the generals in the accounts of the Chinese army.

Zhang Liao came out worried. He knew Lv Bu's temperament. Although he didn't get the exact information, he could not help it. He personally sent troops to the north to fight with the enemy, so he ran to the Chinese army tent in two or three days.

"General, can this... Work?"

Before Zhang Liao entered the Chinese army tent, he heard a lot of discussion and listened to it curiously.

Zhang jaw doubts: "before the Qin and Han Dynasties, most of the riders were chariots and soldiers. A powerful country is known as the country of thousands of rides. We use chariots to discuss the strength. Although the chariot has strong impact and strong protection, it has too much load and weak mobility, so the countries are at a disadvantage in fighting against Xiongnu. It was not until King Wuling of Zhao dressed in horseback and shooting that the state of Zhao became powerful. It was juxtaposed with the state of Qin, but the general had to use chariots to deal with the Huns' nomads. Isn't that...

Zhang Liao was stunned. Listen to this, the chariot general should use chariot soldiers to deal with the light and flexible Hun Rangers? This is too...

Jia Xu frowned and said, "is the general going to defeat the Huns with the impact of chariots?"

Liu Ye shakes his head and is about to speak. When he sees Zhang Liao standing outside the door hesitantly, he immediately says, "Wen Yuan is here? Stop standing outside and come in. "

"Liao took the liberty, but dare to ask the general of chariots why they used chariots to deal with Hun Rangers?" Zhang Liao hesitated a little, but still couldn't help his curiosity and came in.

"Liao was born in Yanmen county and has been in the frontier fortress for a long time. In his early years, he followed the Marquis Wen to fight against Xiongnu, Wuhuan and Xianbei. He had a little experience. All these three were proficient in riding and shooting, and came and went like the wind. The soldiers of prefectures and states guarding the city were not allowed to fight. Only trained elite cavalry could they pursue and kill effectively." Zhang Liao said to Liu Ye with his own experience.

"Ha ha, it seems that you are quite puzzled about the use of chariot soldiers against Xiongnu, but it doesn't matter. Next, I will explain to you why I used chariot soldiers." Liu Ye smiles and looks serious.

"You should be aware of the hundred year war against Xiongnu in the Han Dynasty."

Jia Xu nodded: "the two emperors of Wenjing had a lot of savings. After fighting for three generations, Emperor Wu took Wei and Huo as generals, and only then did he have the merit of sealing wolf and living in Xu."

"Yes, the Huns have a folk song. Losing my Yanzhi mountain has made my women colorless; losing my Qilian Mountain has made my six animals live forever. It's really all the credit. But... "

Liu Ye said solemnly," do you know what the Emperor Wu paid to defeat the Huns? "

The generals look at Liu Ye with solemnity.

"The Emperor Wu sent out a hundred thousand cavalry! And behind them are 500000 soldiers carrying grain and grass. All the States and counties in the world are crying bitterly, and the people in thirteen states are all lamenting. " Liu Ye has a deep complexion.

The three armies did not move, and grain and forage went first. A soldier fought, and at least ten people were behind him to provide food and carry food and grass. Moreover, the northern expedition to Xiongnu was quite different from that of the Central Plains. The cities in the central plains were dense, and the people transported grain and grass very fast. There were no cities on the grassland, and there were no convenient official roads and roads, so the transportation was very laborious.

Therefore, although the Han Dynasty won the hundred year war against Xiongnu, the accumulated national strength of Wenjing and Wenjing Dynasties was exhausted, so that Emperor Wudi of Han Dynasty had to issue "sin Ji Zhao" to deeply reflect on his own mistakes in his later years.

"The Xiongnu people did not change their mind after repeated education, refused to accept the king's transformation, and repeatedly plundered the people in the border areas. Our northern expedition was aimed at expelling the calamities of the Han people and recovering the northern counties of Bingzhou, rather than impoverishing the people." Liu Ye said with deep meaning, "with the chariot, you can use the space on the chariot to carry grain and grass, reduce the Levy of civilian husband, so as to show consideration for the people's power."

The battle of war is logistics. Although Liu Ye is in charge of Yongliang Prefecture and Sili Xiaowei headquarters, the number of people is less than 3 million. Especially in Luoyang area, which is under reconstruction, investment is needed. How can we extract people to transport grain and grass?

When Zhang Liao heard this, he was greatly moved and deeply saluted: "the general of chariots and horses shows sympathy for the people's power, the blessing of the world!"

Zhang liaoben was a native of Yanmen county. He felt the situation in the northern part of Bingzhou. Since Huhanxie was attached to him, the emperor divided the northern part of Bingzhou to the South Xiongnu people, hoping that they would be honest and responsible.

However, with the gradual recuperation of the southern Xiongnu, the wolf's ambition did not change, and he repeatedly sent troops to plunder the people into slaves. Therefore, the people of Bingzhou hated to mention the Huns.

But it's a pity that the gongs above the court didn't notice it. The struggle for power and profit in the court was more important to them.

What are the pariah in the border? As long as the South Huns can keep their own pace and do not come to invade, it's OK to die a few people.

However, Liu Ye wanted to attack the southern Xiongnu with all his heart, in order to save the people of Bingzhou. Zhang Liao was naturally shocked.

Liu Ye smiles and reaches out a finger: "transport grain and grass, sympathize with the people, one of them."

Zhang jaw embraces fist way: "wish to hear two.""Two!"

Liu Ye held out his second finger: "many of you have gone with some people to fight against Qiang people. These nomadic people grew up on horseback since childhood, and they are proficient in riding and shooting. Our Han cavalry can barely master it after long training. It's better to train hard and shoot with horseback and Archer than with my own strength and that of the enemy. "

Jia Xu seemed to understand: "the general means to use chariots as a barrier to resist the enemy's riding and shooting?"

Liu Ye nodded: "yes, our army has more chariots, and we use chariots with more baffles to resist the enemy's arrows. We let the enemy attack. When the enemy comes, we hide swordsmen and other heavy infantry in the army, and suddenly kill them. When the enemy forces disperse, we can chase them with cavalry."

"In this way, our army will take food with chariots, so we don't have to worry about Xiongnu's cutting off our army's food channel with light cavalry, and we don't have to shoot at the enemy. We'll fight steadily all the way to the court of the Hun's tent!" Liu Ye holds his fist and says confidently.

In fact, this method was not originally created by Liu Ye. He has been thinking about how to deal with a large number of Hun Rangers these days, and constantly referring to the ancient and modern war cases at home and abroad, and finally successfully found a classic battle case of dabaoqingqi.

Two hundred years later, Liu Yu's Northern Expedition broke the Northern Wei cavalry with the moon array!

Liu Yu's queyue formation, with the cooperation of chariots, infantry and cavalry, won the victory over tens of thousands of iron cavalry in the Northern Wei Dynasty. However, Liu Yu fought back to back, but Liu Ye wanted to make a small change here, turning it into a "full moon array".
