The insults of wolves and sheep and the fact that they wanted to be dogs were still in progress, and Shu Prisoner Mi and others came to the Hu tribe without fear and explained their intentions.

At this time, when the Central Plains and the princes met, they could still hold a sword, and the Hu people were rude, and they would not check the blades on their bodies, which would make the people of the tribe feel that the leader was timid.

Although there are many stories in the book about the blood spattered five-step robbery to form an alliance, the blood is boiling when he reads it, but when he really comes to this point, he can be regarded as a warrior without trembling.

Ma's milk conveyed the opinion from this side, that is, the transaction has been completed, so I hope that the Hu people can retreat thirty miles.

Taking advantage of the conversation, the prisoner took a few steps forward, touched his fingers on the firerope, and coughed lightly to signal the two warriors behind him to be ready to throw out the exit of the control tent as soon as they could not talk.

Although he knew some nonsense, he muttered too fast, and he could only listen to a rough idea.

Not wanting to think for a moment after the mare's milk whispered, "They agreed." This rallied the people and retreated. ”

Shu Prisoner secretly rubbed his shoulder, letting the sweat behind him rub against his clothes to eliminate the beads of sweat that made him a little itchy.

The other party agreed so happily, it was really unexpected.

After exchanging a few more words, he left the tent, and the Hu people did not send anyone to threaten to follow, as if they really talked about it.

The prisoner asked the mare's milk: "Why did you agree so happily?" ”

The mare's milk shook her head and said with a smile: "Maybe they know that we are not easy to provoke?" ”

The rest of the men breathed a sigh of relief, and their horses retreated towards the chariot.

…………

In the tent of the Hu chief, several leaders who wanted to grab more benefits were a little dissatisfied, and the leader who agreed to retreat was the same leader who had mocked the tribes near the South China Sea as "sheep" before, and such words obviously should not come out of the mouths of such people.

The leader laughed and said, "What if the wolves want to eat the wild horses of the steppe?" ”

"When the herd is in a pack, the stallions are outside and the ponies are inside, and the wolves, although they are brave, are not easy to eat horse meat."

"But if you are no longer alert, and when you are scattered and migrating, the wolves suddenly appear, and you can confuse the horses at once."

"They are now in formation, and since those who are as timid as 'sheep' say that they are difficult to attack, let them go. There are men and women, they walk slowly, let's take advantage of their inattention, suddenly surround them, can they still resist? ”

"After that, if we are willing to change, then we will ask for more. After changing, leave here, the grassland is vast, our few tribes have sworn to advance and retreat, can there be other tribes that can block it? ”

"If they refuse to change, the swords, brass and iron, armor, chariots and horses in their hands will be enough for us to share. Even if the southerners in Takayanagi want to take revenge, let's flee into the grassland, where will they find it? ”

The rest of the leaders came to their senses and praised one after another, but the tribal leader who had been grazing near the South China Sea shook his head and said, "This is a breach of promise." Our clan will not participate. ”

He still felt that the reason why he wanted to go elsewhere was because those people didn't know how much benefit there was here. Using what the ancestors didn't like as an excuse to refuse, what you say is categorical, and it's not easy to refute.

The leader, who was determined to do this great thing, sneered: "If you don't do it, we will have more iron pots and no yours when the time comes!" Wolves don't hunt with timid foxes! ”

Since it was not happy, it was going to be dispersed, so the leader who refused to participate in this event received dozens of iron pots and tea leaves that belonged to his tribe as he had said before, and left with the tribe first.

The rest of the people, after discussing it with each other, thought that this method was excellent, so they blew their horns and gathered their men to retreat.

The prisoners and others returned to the car formation, and everyone was packing their bags and carefully packing the books.

Several people explained the reaction of the Hu people, but they were not completely relieved by the Hu people, and decided to stay here for the night and leave early tomorrow morning.

Several more teams were sent to check on the situation of the Hu people.

After a night of silence, early the next morning, the chains connecting the chariot array were opened, and cavalry was sent out ten miles away to reconnoitre, and the brigade began to retreat towards Takayanagi along the road from which they came.

After discussing it again last night, I decided to be cautious and not let these people brought back by Suo Lushen come over for tens of thousands of miles but have an accident at the door of their home.

So he walked a maximum of 20 miles a day, chose a place to camp early, and dug a camp. This is not to attack the grassland, so you are not afraid of slowness, and the slower it is, the less likely it is to have problems.

I walked like this for three days, but I only walked fifty miles, and every day I stopped to rest when the sun was still high.

On the evening of the third day, before the cavalry had returned, Solushen and the others sat around and looked at a simple map.

The handwriting on the map is extremely beautiful, it does not look like it was written by a man, but it was drawn by the sister of Shu Junzi and others who followed the people who went north to greet them.

It must not be accurate, it can only be estimated, but the rivers, hills, approximate heights and distances, and north-south directions that have been traveled along the way are indicated.

At this time, the location they were in was considered a mountainous area, and there were several peaks with hundreds of steps nearby. Although the large army that followed was still a few days away, if all went well, it would be safe to cross this mountainous area.

Just when everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the cavalry scouts sent out hurried back, gasping for a few breaths, and came extremely bad news.

Those Hu people seemed to be rushing towards this side, because the scouts were experienced and had technical support such as clairvoyance, so they discovered the actions of the Hu people brigade early.

It is also Rao that these people attach too much importance to the matter of returning to Middle-earth, and they are cautious, always maintaining scouts in the distance, otherwise it will not be easy to find.

The Hu people were more familiar with the terrain than these people, and wherever there were mountain passes and plains, they could find a living map of the local area.

And the movement of the car formation is slow, and there are still many women and children in it, who are old and weak, so even if they let go and run every day, as long as Hu Ren has a heart, then he can't run.

"Hu Ren really has a different kind of mind. It's all these years that we've been defending near Takayanagi and haven't attacked. It's really ......."

The prisoner scolded him, and said in his heart If this is in Sishang, which of the nobles of all countries dares to despise the Mo family's army? When making decisions, you will definitely look ahead and backward.

He thought of the phrase "newborn calves are not afraid of tigers", which was a bit troublesome.

The crowd did not panic, and they planned for the event from the beginning.

Solushen looked at a mountain bag on the map about four or five miles away from this time, and pointed his finger and said, "Fill the skin bag with water, I suggest moving the camp now, and camp there." ”

"Once you reach the hills, you connect the chariots, dig the barracks, and hold on to the hills. Send another twenty men to drive the horses back, and we will keep only men, so that we can last longer with food and water. We can defend it, but if the counterattack wins, I'm afraid it will be difficult, so we might as well strengthen our thoughts, that is, stick to it and wait for Takayanagi's army to come. ”

"If they want to surround it, they will surround it. If you want to attack, you can't break it if you want to. I'm looking forward to them coming ......."

Everyone agreed with the idea of retreating to the hills to meet the enemy, but Solushen's last words of expecting them to attack made many young people a little puzzled.

Suo Lushen smiled: "Now that it is close to Gao Yanagi, are you afraid that Qu Jiangzi will not move forward and not come to answer?" ”

This is naturally impossible within the Mo family, and from the very beginning, Takayanagi's side has attached great importance to welcoming Suo Lushen back.

Seeing that everyone shook their heads, Solushen asked again, "Are you afraid that they will break through our defenses?" ”

The crowd shook their heads again.

Defending and besieging a city is a technical task. The most conservative way to fight nomadism in agriculture is to defend the city and then organize mobile forces to counterattack.

The Hu people don't know how to siege cities, if they want to learn to siege cities, they must first learn to build cities, and they don't even have iron and bronze tools in their hands, and siege is undoubtedly a fool's dream.

Although it was impossible to build a city here, the people defended the mountains and built camps, and the people had the advantage of muskets and artillery and iron thunder, so they were not afraid of the siege of the Hu people at all...... Especially since the army is less than two hundred miles behind him, he is naturally fearless.

Shu Prisoner Mi was puzzled and said: "If the Hu people besiege and do not attack, wouldn't it be better if they would naturally retreat when the army came?" Why do you expect them to attack? Our mission is to bring you back safely......"

Solushen laughed for a long time and said, "Since they can't take it, we are safe." Then we have to do more for the benefit of the world. ”

"We now have more than 600 people who can fight, except for women and children. How many are six hundred? But four companies, more than half a brigade. ”

"Let me ask you, if you are stationed in the grassland, it is boundless, is it easy for 10,000 people to travel? Or is it easier to march in a thousand? ”

The people present were in high and low positions, but they had all received some basic strategic and tactical education, and they all knew the terrible pressure of logistics.

And the speed of 10,000 people marching is definitely not comparable to the speed of hundreds of people. Moreover, it will take at least one or two years to mobilize 10,000 people to go on the expedition, otherwise it will not be able to hold up and support it at all. And the expedition of more than a thousand people is easier, and it can even be guaranteed once every three or four months.

This is a question that seems to have nothing to do with the question asked by Shu Zhu Mi, but after all, Shu Zhu Mi is only a low-level officer, and the gap between Shu Lu and Suo Lu Shen in the overall situation is still obvious.

Solushen stretched out a finger and said, "Six hundred people, if more than 10,000 Hu people besiege for several days, they can't break through." Let me ask you, if we send a thousand people in the future, and those tribes want to deal with us, will they dare to go up to one or two tribes? Six hundred men could not be attacked, and after the First World War, one of our brigades entered the steppe, and they did not have 20,000 light and strong, so they did not dare to attack at all. ”

"Twenty thousand light and strong, how many tribes must be gathered together? How difficult is it to want to act together? ”

"And a brigade goes in and out of the grassland, and Takayanagi can fully support it. I have returned from the west, and I have seen too many tribes of the steppe, and the weak and the strong are becoming one, and they are getting stronger and stronger, which is not allowed. ”

"We just want to rely on this battle to let the grassland Hu people know that we are terrible, a brigade marching on the grassland, they will not dare to fight if there are less than 10,000 people. And we can organize a brigade into the steppe at any time...... hoeing the strong and helping the weak, helping the weak to defend and cutting down the strong, this is also in line with the morality of our Mo family...... Hahahaha! ”
