Chapter 123 Meng Tian: Huo Qubing opened?
[The Hexi Corridor is very important! ]

[Starting from the Hexi Corridor, the Xiongnu tribes can directly threaten the Han capital Chang'an, and can also control the Silk Road Economic Belt! ]

【And the Han Dynasty took over the Hexi Corridor. 】

[It can not only protect the security of the Han Dynasty's western border, but also allow the Han Dynasty's influence to extend to the Western Regions and open up the Silk Road. ]

[In politics, military, and economy, they all determine the outcome of war! ]

[It can be said that whoever occupies the Hexi Corridor will have an advantage in the subsequent Han-Xiongnu War. ]

[Huo Qubing knew that the Han Dynasty needed the Hexi Corridor! ]

[He resolutely embarked on the journey, with 10,000 cavalrymen, deep into the enemy's rear for thousands of miles! ]

[Huo Qubing's 10,000 troops had no backup, no supplies, and were alone in the deep.]

[What kind of effect they can achieve depends entirely on themselves. ]

……

Outside the sky.

When Wu Qi saw this scene, he saw that Huo Qubing actually led 10,000 cavalrymen to fight alone behind enemy lines.

This is unreasonable and un-military way of fighting.

Wu Qi was also shocked when he saw it.

Because in Wu Qi's view, this was completely inconsistent with the normal situation of war.

Theoretically, we should attack head-on and encircle the flanks to overwhelm the enemy.

And what kind of war is this, leading an isolated army thousands of miles deep behind enemy lines?

Wu Qi had never seen such a battle example in his military career.

Even after watching World War II, Guderian's blitzkrieg.

Wu Qi also clearly saw the difference between Guderian's blitzkrieg and Huo Qubing's raid.

It seems that they are all leading an elite rapid-moving force to advance alone.

But in fact, Guderian's mission was to tear through the enemy's defense lines, expand his own occupied area, and surround the enemy together with his friendly forces.

Such war ideas and intentions.

This is something Wu Qi could understand and agree with.

But on the sky screen, what is Huo Qubing's fighting style now?
There is no reinforcement, no follow-up, and we go straight into the enemy's territory!

This is totally inconsistent with the way of warfare!
But Wu Qi would not think that Huo Qubing was fighting blindly.

Seeing this, Wu Qi couldn't help but sigh.

"The ceiling of military commanders is worthy of being the ceiling of military commanders."

"He does have a war strategy that is beyond the ordinary."

"Huo Qubing of the future, your war ideas are different from those of Wu Qi."

"But as long as you can play to your strengths and achieve results, your thinking is worth our attention and learning."

"Since you have your own ideas and thoughts, it's okay if you don't learn Wu Qi's military tactics."

"hehe, not bad."

Gradually, Wu Qi accepted Huo Qubing's idea in his heart.

And I look forward to seeing Huo Qubing's subsequent wonderful performances.

Canopy.

[Huo Qubing knew that he had to move quickly as he was deep behind enemy lines!]

[He fights to support the enemy! He gets food from the enemy!]

[I would eat the meat of the barbarians when I am hungry, and drink the blood of the Xiongnu when I am thirsty! ]

[Don't take any baggage or supplies, don't take any prisoners, and throw away all the spoils of war in the army! ]

【Everything is speed, speed is everything! 】

[In seven days, Huo Qubing carried out a lightning raid covering a distance of one thousand kilometers.]

[In seven days, destroy five Xiongnu tribes! ]

[The news of the destruction of the first Xiongnu tribe had not yet reached the second tribe.]

【The second tribe had already been conquered by Huo Qubing.】

[In the later World War II, there was a tactic called blitzkrieg. ]

[And Huo Qubing's war speed at this time was even faster than lightning! ]

[A lightning strike! Sparks and lightning all the way. 】

[Huo Qubing led 10,000 cavalrymen to annihilate more than 10,000 Xiongnu in the heart of Xiongnu territory. They killed Xiongnu King Zhelan and King Luhou, and captured Xiongnu Prince Hunxie alive.]

[Seized the Xiongnu Kingdom's most valuable artifact, the golden man for offering sacrifices to the heaven. 】

[This battle stunned the Xiongnu! ]

【While the Xiongnu were stunned, Emperor Wu of Han decided to step up his attack and launch another, larger-scale attack on the Xiongnu.】

[Not only did Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, the two great lords of the empire, fight, but Li Guang, Gongsun Ao, Zhang Qian and others also launched attacks, intending to defeat the Xiongnu in one fell swoop.]

[As a result of this battle, Gong Shuao got lost. ]

[Li Guang and Zhang Qian also got lost again. ] [The teammates who assisted Huo Qubing were all lost. ]

【But Huo Qubing continued to attack! 】

[The army crossed the Yellow River, broke through the Helan Mountain Pass, went deep into the desert, walked westward from the desert and entered the Hexi Corridor.]

[A surprise attack on the Xiongnu from the rear, severely destroying their main force, and annihilating 30,000 enemies! ]

[King Hunxie led 4 people to surrender and return to the Han Dynasty. ]

[This battle opened up the Hexi Corridor and conquered the Qilian Mountains! ]

[The Xiongnu forces withdrew from the Hexi Corridor, and the Han Dynasty successfully opened up the Western Regions.]

[The reputation of the Han Dynasty spreads far to the Western Regions! ]

The Xiongnu could only lament: "The loss of Mount Qilian has caused my livestock to stop breeding; the loss of Mount Yanzhi has caused my wives to lose face."

Tianmu was telling the story of the Battle of Hexi Corridor.

It is also thoughtfully accompanied by a large map and an arrow representing Huo Qubing's army.

Just like the arrow that represented Guderian when the Second World War was broadcast.

Huo Qubing's arrows were rampaging across the map.

Go behind enemy lines.

Large-scale detours!

Everyone outside the sky was stunned.

Warring States Period.

When Wu Qi saw how great Huo Qubing had achieved, he quickly understood Huo Qubing's strategy.

After some analysis, I felt that it was indeed very dangerous, but the rewards were also huge.

Although Wu Qi himself would not adopt the same tactics as Huo Qubing unless it was necessary.

But we can learn from the advanced and successful tactical experiences of future generations.

It also made Wu Qi feel that he had gained a lot.

And in the Qin Dynasty.

Meng Tian, ​​who had been stationed on the front line of the fight against the Huns on the Great Wall for a long time, saw how Huo Qubing fought on the sky.

It's like looking at an alien!
"Is there still such an operation?"

“You can actually fight like this!”

"Isn't Huo Qubing afraid of getting lost?"

"Why can he always find the main force of the Huns?"

Meng Tian was simply stunned!

As a frontline general in the fight against the Huns.

Naturally, Meng Tian also wanted to solve the Hun problem once and for all.

He also wanted to lead his troops across the border to inflict severe damage on the main force of the Huns.

But up to now, although Meng Tian's army had defended the Great Wall very well and launched a defensive counterattack, the Huns were afraid to move south and graze their horses.

He showed the temperament of a famous general.

But it did not really hurt the Huns' vital points.

Not to mention that Meng Tian also knew that the current Huns were not yet complete.

There is still a big gap between the later Huns described on the sky curtain in later generations.

If he were to face the Huns who unified the entire grassland in later generations, it would only be more difficult.

Meng Tian also thought about playing more aggressively and proactively when defending and counterattacking.

Even more radical, chase the main force of the Huns on the grassland!

Even if we can't completely destroy it, we can at least severely damage it.

Guarantee peace on the Qin border within ten years.

But Meng Tian just had this idea.

Because Meng Tian knew that if he really led a large army to launch a massive attack on the Huns.

Then 80% of them will not be able to find the key points and main force of the Huns.

After the troops were exhausted from the long march, the Huns could instead launch harassment attacks from the outside and cut off their food supply.

If you don't operate well, it is possible that your entire army will be wiped out.

And now look at Huo Qubing on the sky curtain.

They could easily find the Xiongnu royal court and launch surprise attacks on the Xiongnu’s rear tribes.

They captured the Hun princes and nobles alive at will.

They even went around and defeated the main force of the Huns!

This made Meng Tian simply unable to understand!

I couldn’t understand how Huo Qubing could thrive on the grassland, as if the Huns’ backyard was his own home!
