"Military and Military Sub-Planes" Author: Hei Meow
On the vast grassland, hundreds of Han Army light cavalry, led by a young captain, were rushing quickly under the cover of night. They carried only a few days of rations and went deep into the enemy's rear. After running for hundreds of miles, they didn't know where the enemy was. They only knew that if they kept going north, they would definitely encounter the Huns' stronghold.
After many days of running, the cavalrymen were almost exhausted. Suddenly, a camp appeared in front of them. They found it! The leading captain pointed his spear: "Attack!", 800 cavalry rushed into the camp, and the unsuspecting Huns were stabbed one by one... After dawn, they returned victorious and beheaded more than Huns2,000 captives. These included a large number of high-ranking officials such as Xiongnu's prime ministers and households. The great-uncle of the Xiongnu Chanyu was beheaded and the uncle of Chanyu was captured.
This battle was part of the "Battle of Dingxiangbei" launched by the Han Dynasty against the Xiongnu in the sixth year of Yuanshuo . This young captain achieved the greatest result in this battle. This was the first time Huo Qubing of the Han Dynasty participated in actual combat, and he became famous in one battle and won the championship in the entire army! Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established a special champion county based on his merits, and made Huo Qubing the champion with 2,500 households in the city.
Becoming a marquis after one battle was just the beginning for the youngest and most famous general in Chinese history.
Huo Qubing had a humble background when he was young. He was the illegitimate son of Wei Shaoer, a female slave in Pingyang Hou Mansion, and a petty official. He never knew who his father was since he was a child. Fortunately, Wei Shaoer's sister Wei Zifu was favored by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and became the queen. The 12-year-old Huo Qubing, as the most important member of the maternal family at that time, became a top noble and lived a high life.
His uncle Wei Qing was a general who had repeatedly won extraordinary achievements. Influenced by this, Huo Qubing was unruly and fond of horseback riding and archery when he was young. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty liked him very much. He seemed to have seen Wei Qing when he was young and arranged for him to As his personal attendant, he also wanted to personally teach him "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and "Wu Qi's Art of War", but Huo Qubing said: "How can we fight only by strategy? I don't have to be limited by ancient military art."
▲ Huo Qubing is here He demonstrated his commanding and combat capabilities before joining the army.
Although this sentence is a bit arrogant for aristocratic children, Huo Qubing is indeed a rare military genius. He has a set of tactics that he has developed himself.
Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, the Huns from the north have repeatedly harassed the Central Plains. The Huns' cavalry army came and ran so fast that the Han army could not resist it. Even Liu Bang's .2 million army was besieged by the Huns. The Han Dynasty could only use it many times. The princess married the Huns in a humiliating way and postponed the Huns' southward march. Many people lamented and said in anger, "Don't we have men in the Han Dynasty?"
The Xiongnu must be destroyed in order to avoid future troubles in the Central Plains. Minister Chao Cuo concluded that the Xiongnu had three advantages: "Good horses, good riding skills, and people who can endure hardships and stand hard work." ". Although the overall strength of the Han army is stronger than that of the Huns, the key point is that the Central Plains army is mainly infantry, while the Huns are mainly cavalry. Even if the Han army can win a certain battle, the infantry cannot catch up with the retreating Huns cavalry. It is impossible to annihilate the Xiongnu's effective strength. After the Huns returned to the desert to recuperate for a few years, they would go south again to take revenge.
In order to one day completely defeat the Huns, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to "learn from the barbarians and develop skills to control the barbarians." The Han Dynasty must also imitate the Huns to develop cavalry.
First of all, it is horse politics . In the early days of the Han Dynasty, there was a shortage of horses. Sometimes the emperor could not find enough four-horse carriages when traveling, and ministers could only ride in ox carts. To this end, the Han Dynasty formulated a set of strict horse-raising systems, setting up 36 official horse gardens on the northwest border, with 30,000 horse slaves and 300,000 horses. At the same time, the "Horse Restoration Order" was promulgated to encourage private horses to be raised. Anyone who raises a horse can exempt three people from corvee service. Moreover, it was expressly prohibited to allow good horses and mares over five feet and six inches to leave the customs to prevent the enemy from being exploited. This set of horse policies ensured the standing use of at least 400,000 military horses for the Han Dynasty, allowing the Han army to form a large enough cavalry.
In terms of weapons and equipment, more than 40 iron officials have been set up across the country. The weapon forging technology has been improved and has reached the level of " Hundred Steelmaking " . It can produce long and narrow ring-headed swords , which are better than those of the Huns. The scimitar grows half out.
▲The Han Dynasty cavalry
The Han cavalry wore armor, held halberds and ring-headed knives, and held crossbows with their hands behind their backs. They could charge and shoot on horseback. Let the Huns' advantage in cavalry disappear. Of course, no matter how good the equipment and soldiers are, they must also have excellent generals. Wei Qing was born a horse slave and was very familiar with war horses. Therefore, after years of training, the Han army had a cavalry team with sufficient combat effectiveness.
With these as the foundation, the most important thing left is to select generals. Han Anguo, Li Guang and other veteran generals have old tactics, are good at defense but not good at offense, cannot adapt to the new cavalry tactics, and are no longer reused. A group of young generals led by Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were promoted again and were good at using cavalry.
As Wei Qing's nephew, Huo Qubing was naturally proud. The elite cavalry he led were carefully selected and equipped with extremely high equipment. Each cavalry was equipped with three war horses, two for riding in rotation, and one for carrying supplies. It was much higher than the overall strength of the Xiongnu cavalry
In 123 BC, Wei Qing led an army of 100,000 troops out of Dingxiang to fight a decisive battle with the Xiongnu Shanyu army. When the main forces of both sides fell into a battle, the 18-year-old Huo Qubing suddenly led his 800 cavalry. Breaking away from the main army, he quickly penetrated from the flanks to the enemy's rear. The Huns' army was fighting on the front line, and there were not many troops in the rear. Huo Qubing acted like he was in an uninhabited land, and continuously raided for hundreds of miles. He captured the Huns' rear camp and sent a large number of Huns to the rear. High officials captured.
"If the bandits can go, I can go too!" Don't the Huns often come to attack our city? We also raid their homes and eradicate them completely!
In the spring of 121 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty appointed Huo Qubing as General Hussar to launch two battles in Hexi in order to open up the western regions and cut off the connection between the Xiongnu and the Qiang people.
For the first time, Huo Qubing led 10,000 cavalry across the Yellow River and rushed all the way, fighting for nearly a thousand miles. He defeated the five Xiongnu kingdoms in six days, and then divided and surrounded other small tribes and forced them to land. The cavalry did not plunder materials and property along the way. Only reducing the burden and moving forward lightly, the Huns' large forces were never able to catch up and launch a counterattack. This "blitz war" style of play is still the first at all times and in all countries.
▲After winning the Battle of Hexi, Huo Qubing poured the royal wine into the spring to drink with the soldiers, and it was named "Jiuquan" ever since. To dispatch troops, Huo Qubing's plan this time was to divide his troops into two groups with Gongsun Ao, and use large-depth and roundabout operations, all the way from Ningxia to the northwest, crossing the Helan Mountains , Tengger Desert , Badain Jaran Desert , and then Along the Ruoshui route, they detoured to the southeast and penetrated more than 2,000 miles behind the Xiongnu. After converging behind the armies of King Hunxie and King Xiutu of the Xiongnu, they launched a fierce attack.
However, Gongsun Ao lost his way and failed to rendezvous. Huo Qubing led his army to attack alone. The Xiongnu army that rushed to fight was immediately defeated. The Han army wiped out 30,000 enemies and forced the landing of King Shanhuan, King Tu and the Prime Minister Captain 2,500. Captured alive Hongnu kings5, 59 princes, and nearly a hundred other generals and nobles, while the Han army only suffered casualties of more than 3,000 people. Huo Qubing achieved an astonishing battle loss ratio of one against ten.
The matter was not over yet. After King Hunxie and King Xiutu were defeated, the Xiongnu Chanyu was very angry and wanted to severely punish the two kings. They were afraid of being executed, so they sent envoys to surrender to the Han Dynasty.
At that time, the two kings still had more than 40,000 troops and horses. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was worried about pretending to surrender, so he asked Huo Qubing to lead 10,000 cavalry to accept the surrender. On the way to surrender, King Xiutu regretted being killed by King Hunxie and recruited his troops, but the people's hearts were very unstable.
When Huo Qubing led his army to surrender, some Huns rioted and tried to escape. At this critical moment, Huo Qubing rushed to the Xiongnu army on horseback to meet King Hunxie. After learning the reason, he commanded the army to kill all 8,000 Xiongnu troops who tried to escape, and then led the remaining 40,000 people back to the Han Dynasty.
In this battle, Huo Qubing fully demonstrated his bravery, wit, and decisive military command skills. His reputation and strength are comparable to those of General Wei Qing. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was happy to give him a mansion. Huo Qubing refused the reward and said boldly: "The Xiongnu are not destroyed, why do you want to be home?"
What Huo Qubing wanted was to completely annihilate the Xiongnu. After these few battles, Huo Qubing accumulated a lot of wealth. With the large-scale combat experience of using cavalry to attack long distances, in the spring of 119 BC, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing divided their troops into two groups with 50,000 cavalry each, and went deep into their lair in Mobei to find the main force of the Huns.
Wei Qing on the left flank encountered the main force of the Xiongnu Chanyu after going more than a thousand miles. Wei Qing's style of play was relatively stable. He formed a circle of chariots and fired at the Xiongnu. The cavalry was deployed on both wings, waiting for the chariots to shoot at the Xiongnu's feet. After the chaos, the cavalry on the left and right wings rushed to harvest and killed 19,000 Huns. Shan Yu ran away first when he saw something was wrong. Wei Qing then pursued all the way to the Xiongnu's granary Zhao Xincheng (south of today's Hangai Mountain in Mongolia) and burned the grain that the Xiongnu had stored in the city for many years.
Huo Qubing, who had not encountered the main force on the right, boldly did not equip any lieutenants. The soldiers he led were all carefully selected elite soldiers. They only carried a small amount of light and heavy grain and grass across the desert, marched north for more than 2,000 miles, and inserted themselves into the rear of the Xiongnu. All they encountered along the way were small groups of troops, and they were eliminated in three attacks. The grain and grass were supplied from the enemy's hands, and they fought to support the war. It can be said that "the ambitious people eat the meat of Huns when they are hungry, and they drink the blood of Huns when they are thirsty."
At the same time, let The prisoners led the way and continued northward, successfully blocking the army of Zuoxian King , and then annihilated 70,000 enemies with a loss of 10,000 people, and captured three Xiongnu kings. The Huns fled all the way to Siberia, while Huo Qubing took advantage of the victory and pursued them to Beihai (today's Lake Baikal). After this battle, the Huns fled far away, and there was no longer a royal court in Monan.
Huo Qubing led his army to Langjuxu Mountain and Guyan Mountain (today's east of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia) and sealed Langjuxu Mountain. Huo Qubing and the soldiers stood on the mountain to worship heaven and earth, overlooking the entire Mongolian grassland No more Figure of the Huns. The Han Dynasty thus reached its most glorious moment.
It was also during this period that the territory of the Han Dynasty, which had strong military power, expanded simultaneously in the four directions of east, west, north and south. The three Yue Kingdom in the south were not honest and were directly bulldozed; the Dawan Kingdom in the western region was attacked if they refused. If you want to serve, you can also set up a Western Region Protectorate; if North Korea in the east wants to rebel, then destroy it. Japan on the other side of the sea consciously gave up and came to pay tribute, and was given a "Han Japanese Nu King Seal", which is still a first-class national treasure in Japan.
The prestige of the Han army made the people of the Han Dynasty feel proud, so much so that when Su Wu was threatened by Chanyu to kill him, he could arrogantly say: "South Vietnam killed the Han envoys and slaughtered them into nine counties; King Wan killed the Han envoys, and his head was County North Que; North Korea killed the Han envoys and killed them immediately, but you, the Xiongnu, have not been punished! "
During the Han Dynasty, why were Wei Qing and Huo Qubing able to win many battles? From three aspects: strategy, tactics and logistics.
First of all, they changed their tactics . The Han army abandoned the previous disadvantage that the infantry did not have the fast marching speed of the Huns' cavalry. Instead, they also vigorously developed cavalry. With sophisticated weapons and equipment, they could pursue thousands of miles and quickly surprise the enemy's rear, making the Huns invincible. Escape.
▲The Han cavalry can also ride and shoot, and its overall strength exceeds that of the Xiongnu.
In terms of logistics, , the Han army carried out large-scale farming on the border, and the army farmed in their spare time. They were self-sufficient and cooperated with the horse administration, so they had enough food and grass. and transport troops. During the Battle of Mobei, a huge supply force was organized to supply 100,000 cavalry troops, with 140,000 packhorses alone, as well as a large number of vehicles and civilians. Even so, the Han army still lost most of its troops.
In terms of strategy, Huo Qubing persuaded the Huns to surrender many times and divided the relations between the various tribes of the Huns. During the Battle of Hexi, Huo Qubing surrendered more than 40,000 people to the two kings of the Huns, and asked them to help him guard the border. During the Northern War, Huo Qubing moved the surrendered Wuhuan people to live outside the Great Wall in five counties including Liaodong and Yuyang to detect the Huns' movements for the Han Dynasty.
▲ Huo Qubing's tactics were very similar to the later "blitzkrieg"
and then to the style of play , Huo Qubing's tactics of long-distance raids and detours behind enemy lines were similar to the "blitzkrieg" of the German armored forces during World War II and the War of Liberation. The large-depth interspersed play style of "Huo Qubing" is very similar, and one has to wonder whether Huo Qubing is a modern person who has traveled through the past. If it were you who traveled back in time, could you strategize and win thousands of miles on the battlefield of conquests from east to west? Then, here comes the opportunity:
