Chapter 151 Unequal battle

"this……"

Lu Fang was silent.

No matter how little military knowledge you have, you still know how powerless more than 20,000 people are when facing an army of more than 100,000 people.

At that time, no matter whether the Huns make a detour or attack by force, the Juyongguan defenders will completely lose the power to actively respond.

You can only be led by the enemy!

Absolute passivity means absolute danger!

"Don't worry, Grandmaster. I have served under the general for many years. I have learned nothing but one thing." Li Guang gave a thumbs up and smiled with white teeth, "That is, absolutely.

Fight an uncertain battle!"

"What's more, Huo Xiaowei and Chen Duwei also agree that this battle can be said to be a sure thing. The prefect will sit in the city with Da Nong Ling and wait for the victory!"

Lu Fang was still a little worried: "Colonel Huo, is this true?"

"Really." Huo Qubing was not distracted at the first glance, "otherwise, if you count, my uncle has been on the battlefield countless times, but has he ever failed?"

Let the facts speak for themselves. Wei Qing has never failed!

Not to mention Li Guang's massive defeat like annihilation of the entire army, not even a small defeat!

Really invincible and invincible!

Looking at the five thousand years of China, we can count on one hand the number of people who can equal Wei Qing in terms of military achievements.

Don't forget, they are not fighting the defeated generals!

Regardless of Yi Zhixie's own abilities, the Huns at that time were in their prime just like the Han Dynasty that Liu Che took over!

You don't care whether he is lucky or has read the script, the facts are the facts. No one in the entire Han Dynasty, including the most unconvinced Li Guang, will question Wei Qing's record!

So Lu Fang immediately felt at ease: "Then I'll leave everything to you. I'll be sitting at the back and waiting for your good news!"

So everyone dispersed, doing what they were supposed to do, and making preparations for the battle.

Huo Qubing sneaked up to Tang Qi's ear and said, "Brother Tang, I want to discuss something with you..."

"That's right!" Tang Qi waved his hand, "Don't you just want to let the cavalry go out for a walk? I don't give you armor and weapons just to look good."

"Hey, Brother Tang, you are sensible!"



"Line up to fight?"

The Xiongnu fell into the trap, and Zhao Ponu made an eye-popping decision.

Ada and others were anxious.

"Wanhu, please think twice!"

"Juyongguan is not a Han people's county. It must be fortified and clear now. What good will it do even if it is conquered?"

"We don't have enough troops. Even if we want to attack by force, we have to wait until the king comes, right?"

"Wanhu, don't be impulsive!"

Zhao Ponu laughed: "What are you doing in such a roundabout way? You just want to ask if I really love the Han so much that I don't even bother to hide it. I want to give you people as a meeting gift to the Han army, right?"

Everyone laughed.

It is not a secret that Zhao Ponu, or Qi Mo Che, is attracted to the big man, they never cover it up!

Or rather than saying that they are attracted to the Han people, they simply think that they are Han Chinese!

And it's not just talk, it's really something.

The specific manifestation is that he is very ruthless in killing the rebellious vassal tribe. He will not even spare the children who are not taller than the wheel. As long as he touches his hands, it will definitely be the end of the entire clan being wiped out!

But he showed unparalleled kindness to the Han sheep slaves who were taken captive to the grasslands.

Until now, most of Zhao Ponu's 1,000 closest soldiers are Han Chinese who have been treated like tribal herdsmen!

The leader of the soldiers was simply a captured Han soldier!

In most cases, because Zhao Ponu was honest in everything he did, no one doubted his loyalty, since the second king, Zhao Xin, had definitely tamed this fierce wild wolf.

But isn't it because Zhao Xin is not here, and Zhao Ponu has issued another military order that goes against the common sense of the Huns!

It was just a matter of letting the 2,000 servants deliver it before. They were cannon fodder, that’s what they were for.

But now?

You must know that although the Han-Hungarian war was a national war, both sides had completely different definitions and understandings of this war.

The Han Dynasty is fighting for survival, and the whole country is eager to destroy the Xiongnu as soon as possible!

Therefore, the top and bottom were determined to fight to the death. Whether they were defending or taking the initiative to penetrate into the grasslands, there were very few officers or even soldiers who surrendered.

At least in Wei Huo's generation, this is still the case.

The Huns were different.

They also hated the Han Dynasty, were equally willing to fight to the death, and were also fighting for survival.

But the inner definition is different.

Hatred of the Han Dynasty is not so much a life-and-death feud, but a stronger mentality of "hatred of the rich."

Similar to "How can a weak lamb like the Han people live so well?"

They dare to fight to the death because of the natural ferocity of the grassland peoples. Since they were born, they have fought against nature, wild beasts, and hostile tribes.

If you cherish your life, you won't survive at all, so naturally you won't be afraid of fighting the Han army.

As for the "battle of survival", it is the reason that reflects the most essential difference between the Xiongnu army and the Han army.

The Xiongnu went south to attack the Han Dynasty in order to snatch survival resources.

In the most extreme cases, only the proceeds from plundering from the south could ensure that most of the tribe could survive the cruel winter on the grassland.

This kind of "battle of survival" gave the Xiongnu army completely different values ​​from the Han army.

To put it simply, it is the central idea of ​​"all for robbery".

In order to grab enough survival resources, they risked their lives and were able to fight wherever they wanted under the command of their leader.

He is also willing to sacrifice himself to gain enough time for the large army.

The Xiongnu army at this time was completely different from the many grassland peoples who hoped to rule the Central Plains in the later period. They were pure bandits.

Zhao Ponu's decision is obviously different from their values.

And because the Huns generally "admired the strong" and Zhao Ponu had already proven himself to be powerful, the leaders only dared to make suggestions, but did not dare to directly disobey orders, let alone question his loyalty face to face.

Zhao Ponu also knew this.

To be honest, he probably doesn't know what he is thinking.

But that didn't stop him from making a decision.

"The purpose of fighting is to realize King Zici's plan." Zhao Ponu said coldly, "Do you hope that the king's army will be stuck at Juyong Pass like us?"

"If we don't get enough results from our journey south this time, how dissatisfied will the Great Chanyu and the tribes who contributed their efforts be to your Majesty?"

"That……"

The leaders were always in awe.

"Send someone to inform the king immediately that the defense of Juyongguan is much stronger than we imagined. If my guess is correct, most of the forces in Shanggu County may be concentrated here."

Zhao Ponu sneered: "The county must be empty. Let the king leave us alone and directly enter the upper valley through other channels. It will be troublesome, but safe."

"For the king's army, we will stick this powerful Han army here!"

Only then did everyone suddenly realize.

After the military meeting ended, a captured former Han army officer from Zhao Ponu's pro-army Qianhu came over.

Looking at the backs of the Xiongnu generals who were laughing and walking away, he said in a deep voice: "Wanhu, are you really going to devote your life to the Huns?"
