Chapter 170 Dong Hu's Favorite
Liangzhou has ten counties in Beidi County, Anding County, Hanyang County, Wudu County, Longxi County, Jincheng County, Wuwei County, Zhangye County, Jiuquan County, and Dunhuang County.
There are nine counties in Bingzhou, including Shangdang County, Taiyuan County, Xihe County, Shang County, Yanmen County, Dingxiang County, Yunzhong County, Wuyuan County, and Shuofang County.
In front of hundreds of generals, Dong Hu didn't say anything big. After Dong Zhuo took over Luoyang, Han Sui became the real king of Liangzhou, but what about Bingzhou? There was no prince in Bingzhou from beginning to end. As for Lu Bu, Zhang Yang did not count. Lu Bu, Zhang Yang ran to other places to become princes. Bingzhou was a place where no one cared or asked about it. He was always threatened by the Meiji Huns. As long as the Huns were killed or destroyed, Dong Hu was the king of Bingzhou.
Perhaps others would say that Dong Hu was not afraid of the wind flashing his tongue when he said this, but in fact, he knew better than anyone that this time was the weakest time of the Meiji Huns. Moreover, the grassland tribe at this time was far from having stirrups. When there were stirrups, there was no horseshoe, which had little impact on horses that had been running all year round. It would not affect the running because the hoof armor grew too fast. However, the lack of stirrups greatly affected the impact speed and control of the war horses, and would allow the cavalry to distract the attention of both hands on their legs.
Perhaps because of the lack of stirrups, the long weapons of the Han soldiers were basically all small branches of halberds, which hooked horses or hooked horse legs with not very fast horse speed. However, in later dynasties, most of them were spears and stairs. Instead, there were fewer halberds, and they could not hook the faster and more flexible war horses.
The Han Dynasty could use infantry to fight against the same cavalry, but in later dynasties, the same number of infantry encountered the same cavalry, and were basically defeated in one-sidedly.
The Meiji Xiongnu and Xianbei people did not have stirrups. Facing the Han infantry and infantry with strict military formations, it was difficult to gain much advantage in the same number.
Where are the cavalry?
Although Dong Hu brought only five thousand cavalry, it was one person and two cavalry. It was not difficult to temporarily form ten thousand cavalry. During the Central Plains combat process, the main force of the combat was the 5,000 infantry under Sun Niu's name, and the 5,000 infantry originally farmed in Yunwu City. Dong Hu's elite cavalry was not much damaged, and basically retained a full-staff.
Cavalry and infantry warfare are very different. Cavalry and cavalry rarely charge directly opposite each other. The main combat method is to chase each other and escape. The pursuit party always lies on the left wing of the escaped side, that is, the left hand position.
People's habit is to use force with the right hand. Whether holding the spear with one hand or holding the spear with both hands, they use force with the right hand. The left half of the body becomes a fragile side. The chasing party always lags behind the left and the rear to chase after the left. If the escaped party wants to counterattack, it has to turn half of its body, and the side that is not easy to exert force, which increases the casualty rate.
With stirrups, the horse speeds up faster and rotates more flexibly, making it easy to seize the left side of the best attack. With the same combat power, Dong Buyi's loss is much smaller.
After wandering around the Central Plains, Dong Buyi fought two major battles in succession. Although it cannot be said that all had iron armor, it was not much different. The worst one was a set of hard leather armor with a very high armor rate. On the contrary, the Huns and Xianbei people were a little worse. Except for the generals, they were all wearing tattered sheepskin coats.
Compared with cavalry and infantry, the difference between cavalry and cavalry, and the difference in armor rate, if these are not counted, they only compare the fighting will, and can wade through snow and reach Yanmen with 200,000 to 300,000 people who came to Yanmen after three feet of freezing. These wills alone would not feel that they were half inferior to the Huns.
What about the Huns and Xianbei people?
Since the defeat of the Han army in the sixth year of Xiping, the Xianbei Khan Tan Shihuai died of illness soon after. His successor He Lian died in Beidi County less than a year later. Not only did the Xianbei tribes in the east, middle and west independently failed to obey the orders, but Danhan Mountain was also involved in the internal struggle between his uncle and nephew for the Xianbei Khan after his death. At this time, the Xianbei entered the three kingdoms' hegemony earlier than the Han Dynasty.
The Xianbei people first entered the three kingdoms to compete for hegemony, while the Meiji Xiongnu people followed closely behind.
In the sixth year of Xiping, Zang Min, the general of the Huns, Tu Teruozizhuzhushan, participated in the Battle of Danhan Mountain. In this battle, the Han Dynasty was defeated in the Han Dynasty. Ten thousand cavalry of the Huns died of 7788. Tu Teruozizhuzhushanzhushan was depressed and died of illness in just one year.
The Huns and Qiang people inherited the same system. They were both brothers and brothers, and the inheritance leader with the highest strength and prestige, which was more beneficial to stabilizing the ethnic group. However, Chejuer Shanyu changed the ancestral system of Huhanye Shanyu and with the support of the Han Dynasty, he inherited the Shanyu to his son Tu Teruozizhu. This was a huge opposition among the Xiongnu clans. So Tu Teruozizhu Shanyu thought of using the Han Dynasty to beat up the Xianbei people and blocked others' mouths with his merits. But he did not expect such a crushing defeat, which destroyed tens of thousands of cavalry of the direct unit. The direct unit suffered heavy losses. Tu Teruozizhu died after only one year, and the Shanyu inherited the position of his son Huzheng Shanyu.
When Chejuer Chanyu inherited the position of Shanyu, his status was unstable. He was the position he inherited with the support of the Han Dynasty. His son Tu Teruozhu Zhu Shanyu's status was even more unstable. In addition, the defeat in the sixth year of Xiping, the tribe suffered heavy losses, and the tribes were even more dissatisfied with the succession of Shanyu.
Perhaps Zhang Xiu, the new general of the Huns, felt that Huzheng Shanyu was not enough to stabilize the Meiji Xiongnu, so he joined forces with his close Youxian King Qiang Qu to lure Huzheng through a banquet and killed Huzheng Shanyu at the banquet!
Zhang Xiu thought it was very good. The Hun tribes were dissatisfied with the succession of the Shanyu. They clamored and scolded all day long. The Right Xian Wang Qiang Qu was stronger. Let him inherit the Shanyu and stabilize the Meiji Xiongnu...
But after all, Hu Zheng was the Meiji Xiongnu Khan!
Just like Dong Zhuo deposed Liu Bian's emperor, you, Zhang Xiu, could kill the Shanyu if you want to kill him? His father, Tu Teruozi, followed the Han Dynasty to beat the Xianbei, and even ten thousand cavalry did not say anything, but you killed someone's son and killed the Xiongnu Shanyu...
It was similar to Dong Zhuo's abolition of the emperor without authorization. The tribes that were originally dissatisfied with the command of the Shanyu, and accused the Right King Qiang Qu of colluding with the Han Dynasty and luring and killing their Shanyu in a despicable way!
In the sixth year of Xiping, Xia Yu, the captain of the Wuhuan camp, lost all the Wuhuan cavalry. The Wuhuan people were so angry that they resented the Han Dynasty all day long.
Zang Min, the general of the Huns, lost all the elite troops of the Xiongnu Shanyu, so that two Shanyu died within one or two years, which made the Huns tribes particularly angry that the Han Dynasty conspired to kill their Shanyu.
The consequences of defeating the Xianbei Central Army General Tian Yan were even more serious. The three counties of Hetao lost ten thousand cavalry elites, which directly led to countless people fleeing south in the three counties of Hetao, so that the three counties of Hetao were just territory on the map.
Zhang Xiu was arbitrarily killed Huzheng Shanyu and was imprisoned and died by Emperor Liu Hong. However, the Xiongnu tribes were dissatisfied and took the opportunity to invade the three Hetao counties. The tribes of each tribe also made trouble with the Qiangqu all day long, especially the right part of Shangjun, the Zhuluo tribe and Xiutu were most dissatisfied with the Qiangqu and the Shanyu all day long.
Simply put, at this time, the Meiji Xiongnu and the Danhanshan Xianbei were all in a split-part situation, but what about Dong Hu? The 200,000 to 300,000 prisoners of the Yellow Turban Army could take out 100,000 soldiers who dared to fight. No matter how good the killing skills were, the Yellow Turban Army had fought. As long as they dared to kill people, they would be better than the people who ran away when they saw a knife! What the Yellow Turban Army lacked was just the experience of killing the enemy in battle formations. They did not know how to fight in the military formations, and only knew how to rush forward.
Dong Hu still doesn't believe it. A group of bastards and Qiang people can be trained well. Can a very obedient 100,000 Central Plains soldiers be trained well? Can a group of 100,000 soldiers with a tight army be defeated by a group of scattered sand herders?
There is no question about the rags in Luoyang. If the governor of Bingzhou is troublesome, Dong Hu will dare to stamp a big seal on the forehead!
The tasks are assigned to the task, the trees that should be cut down, the coal that should be cut down, the soldiers who should be cut down, the soldiers who should be trained to train, the old and the weak hide in the pit to cook in the fire, and the children are handed over to some scholars to read and read...
Although the Yellow Turban Army rebelled, there were also many people, poor scholars and craftsmen. These people were kicked out alone. Huangfu Song cut off nearly 100,000 people in Guangzong and made Jingguan with 100,000 corpses. After the 200,000 to 300,000 prisoners were originally psychologically resistant to Dong Hu. After Huangfu Song raised his butcher knife, the resistance was completely gone and he no longer resisted Dong Hu's words.
Dong Hu treated the ordinary Yellow Turban Army similar to the kind people, but he was not so relaxed to the captive generals of all sizes, big and small. He had big seals on his forehead and all of them were organized into a battalion, and Dong Hu personally took care of them. He did not dare to relax with these guys.
Logically speaking, these Yellow Turban generals should have cut their heads to the end, but there is an undeniable fact that those who can serve as leaders in the messy Yellow Turban Army are among the best of the bravery. There are more than 10,000 generals of only 200,000 to 300,000. If so many people were killed with one knife, Dong Hu was really hesitant and trained them into a battalion alone.
He directly acted as his own personal military camp. One is to tell them that although he had stamped a big seal on their foreheads, he was willing to accept them. The stamp was because they made a mistake and would be punished if they made a mistake. The other is that he was more secure in watching it himself, and others lacked their understanding of the sect.
The four adopted sons of "Zhongxiao and Jieyi" were about the same age as Zhang Liao. All five were thrown into the personal military camp by him to experience it. "Zhongxiao and Jieyi" was Dong Hu's adopted son. It was not uncommon to enter the personal military camp, but the generals were quite puzzled and curious about Zhang Liao. They didn't understand why Dong Hu favored Zhang Liao so much, but how could they know about the good generals of the five sons.
Dong Hu attaches importance to soldiers and dispatches military formations to kill enemy generals, rather than two generals in front of the formation. Whoever wins the other party will be motivated, and whoever kills the other party will defeat the other party. Such an army... Dong Hu is very suspicious, can such an army still be called an army? How different is there to be a group of gangsters fighting?
Yes, after the military formations are mixed together, there is no big difference between fighting with the gangsters, but is there really no difference? Even if the army fights together, it will form a small military formation, and it is not really a swarm.
Anyway, Dong Hu was extremely stubborn. In his previous life, he was very angry when he saw two generals on TV rushing around and then rushing around. Is this still an army? If there are such generals under his command, even if the God of War is alive, as long as he doesn't understand the fighting in the military formation, he will not be able to lead the troops. At most, he can be a guard to decorate the storefront.
Dong Hu likes the Five Sons and Good Generals better than the Five Tiger Generals, and his roots lie in the military formation. The personal force of the Five Sons and Good Generals may be a little worse, but they all use military formations to kill the enemy, rather than relying on personal force.
