Chapter 80: I'll Come, I'll Come
Zhong Xingyue's expression was a little uncertain, he was very similar to asking Leerluo about the Han army he saw. However, in the meeting of the Great Hun nobles, he could not interject at will. I can only do it on the sidelines.
"Da Danyu, those soldiers with red feathers are very difficult to deal with. The army of the Han people, except for the black-armored cavalry, is the most difficult to deal with. The speed of the chariots was not much slower than that of the cavalry, and it was only five or six days' journey according to the foot. We have been hoarding under Zhangye City for more than 40 days, and even if we attack the city with all our might, we may not be able to take it in five or six days.
I think we should still go back to the division with the whole army to deal with the Han people, and rob the Han people of military funds and horses. Let's go back and deal with the Donghu people. ā
The old and dignified Right Xian Wang couldn't hold back his speech.
The Xiongnu nobles spoke one by one, and the vast majority of those who advocated the opinion of the right virtuous king.
Zhongxing Yue was so anxious that he looked straight at Da Shan Yu, but the military minister Shan Yu was in trouble. I didn't have time to look at Zhongxingyue.
"Da Shan Yu, since everyone agrees with the opinion of King Youxian. I think it is still in accordance with the opinion of King Youxian, and the whole army returned to the division to defeat this Han army. Otherwise, if they come to Zhangye City, it will be dangerous to attack us back and forth. ā
After all the Donghu nobles spoke, King Huqiang presented his case to the monarch and ministers on behalf of everyone.
"Since everyone has said so, let's withdraw our troops for the time being. Rest for a day, and tomorrow the whole army will set out to meet the Han army. King Youxian stayed here and led 20,000 troops and horses to monitor the Donghu people, and 60,000 troops were enough to deal with those Han people. ā
For the field combat ability of his subordinates, Jun Chen Shan Yu has great confidence. Believe in the field. Even if I met that group of difficult black-armored cavalry. The cavalry of the Great Huns could also take them out with numerical superiority.
"General, the Huns retreated."
A Donghu general came to the general's palace to report to John. The news excited John, who had been on the wall all night the night.
"Haha, these Huns are also tired. The troops were ordered not to move until now, and to lay down the horses and scouts from the walls. Quietly go and reconnoitre, how far the Huns retreated. No one is allowed to go out of the city to pursue until the investigation is clear, and those who violate the order will be beheaded. ā
The old John slowly began to hold on to himself, if he was the same as he was ten years ago. It is inevitable that he will go out with the team in pursuit.
The news of the Huns' retreat greatly boosted the morale of the Zhangye defenders, and the city was full of cheers. The ambulance team was still carrying the wounded down, and the craftsmen took advantage of the gap to rush up the walls. Rush to repair all kinds of fortifications. It's a hustle and bustle inside and outside the city.
"Son. The Huns ran away. It was your father who came, and he must have come. He came to save our mother, and he didn't forget us. ā
Yin Yin stood on top of the tower with Xiao Yunao in her arms, and she could see the retreat of the Huns clearly. She stubbornly believed that this was the result of the arrival of the clouds. Sometimes a woman's sixth sense is really amazing.
Every night when the Huns stormed Zhangye. Yin Yin is looking forward to the man she loves. Riding a high-headed warhorse. Holding a sabre in his hand. The charge was invincible, and the Huns outside the city were slaughtered.
"It's coming, it must be him." Yin Yin's mouth muttered. Tears slipped from the corners of his eyes again.
In the silent night, all kinds of insects are chirping loudly, and for some reason the battlefield is particularly quiet. The stars in the sky were exceptionally bright, and the sky seemed to be covered by a huge curtain over people's heads.
After a tense night, the Huns did not attack at all. When the red sun rose high, the scouts sent out returned. Of the thirty scouts, only two returned.
"The Huns have an ambush, and many Huns are gathered twenty miles away and don't know what to do."
This was the only news that the scouts had brought back, and John was somewhat glad. Fortunately, he is much older and more stable, otherwise he would have pursued rashly yesterday. Now you can already be in a different place.
"Zhongxingyue, your nails don't seem to work. Why didn't there be any news at all, how could the Han people mobilize 100,000 troops quietly. ā
The military minister Shan Yu took a big sip of wine and questioned Zhongxingyue very dissatisfied.
"Da Danyu, the minion wanted to see you yesterday. But because you are too busy to see, according to the Han military system that the minions know. Mobilizing 100,000 people is a big deal, not to mention the nails buried in Chang'an. Even ordinary people in Chang'an will know about it.
Such important news will definitely not go without a little warning, and the Thousand Horsemen swear that there are Feather Forest guards in the team. This makes people even more wonderful, the Yulin guards are the emperor's pro-army, and they will definitely not be dispatched lightly. If there is nearly 10,000 feather forests, there is only one possibility-the emperor of the Han Dynasty drove the expedition in person.
However, the emperor of the Han Dynasty had only been dead for a long time, and the new emperor had not yet fully controlled the situation. At this time, he categorically would not be pro-enlisted, according to various inferences. I don't think there are that many people in this team at all, and there is a good chance that the feather forest team is fake. According to the slave's calculations, the number of this Han army should not be as large as the Phantom Moon King said, I am afraid that it is only one or two thousand people.
Last night, the slave and maid also questioned the thousand horsemen carefully, and they said that it was because the Qiang people robbed them of their cattle and sheep. They went to chase and fell into the encirclement of the Han army, according to the minions. The Han Chinese have always looked down on the Qiang people and called them the Alien Savages. There was only one general of the Han army who had close contacts with the Qiang, and that was Lintong Hou Yunxiao.
Big single Yu, the slave guesses. This time we met an old rival again, and this guy is a master of deception. There is only one reason to exaggerate the size of the team and pretend to be a Yulin guard. He wants to transfer us from Zhangye, and according to the current dispatch, Zhangye will be broken within ten days.
The minions gave you the building yƬ is, continue to storm Zhangye. Ignore those Han troops, and send at most twenty or thirty thousand people to block them. Don't let this kid's intimidation stop you from the army......"
"Okay, don't say it. The order has been given, and it is a collective referendum of all the nobles. Even if I am a big man, I can't leave all the nobles and do it myself. Even if what you say is reasonable, we can only send troops to meet the Han army. However, if you can kill that damn cloud this time. It's really worth the trip. ā
The military minister Shan Yu has hated Yun Xiao to the core. He swore that he would make a night pot out of Yunxiao's head. In the future, I will be convenient for this night pot every day.
BOC Yue saw that the persuasion had no effect, so he could only sigh and give up. The Huns were not Han Chinese and did not have the habit of respecting their advisers. In the eyes of the Huns, he was nothing more than a useful minion. He knew exactly where he was.
"Da Danyu is right, then we will calculate it. Relying on the superiority in numbers, Yun Xiao was wiped out in the Western Regions. This person is the henchman of our attack on the Han, and only by killing him can we advance into the rich Guanzhong and rob the Han's property. ā
To be a slave is to have the consciousness of being a slave, and Zhongxingyue knows when to say something to make Da Shan Yu happy. A slave who can make the master happy is a good slave and will be appreciated by the master.
The ranks of the Huns were large and the marches were fast. If it's all the rage. You can run a hundred miles in a day and night. The military minister Shan Yu deliberately slowed down the pace of his advance. Swallowed troops and went down to the city for more than 40 days. The sergeants were a little tired, and at this time they saved a penny of manpower and horsepower. When you fight, you have a better chance of winning.
The military minister Shan Yu made a mistake, and Zhong Xingyue was a brilliant strategist. But he was not a tactician, and herding horses was something he had only seen since he arrived at the Huns. For actual combat, he is simply a novice on the battlefield. Such strategic masters, tactical dwarfs, and Han people abound.
Fortunately. Among the Huns, there was no shortage of tactical masters. King Huqiang is one of them. Look at the marching procession huddled together. King Huqiang was a little worried, and the terrain of the Western Regions was criss-crossed. There are often ravines and valleys across the road ahead. If you encounter an enemy ambush, then the front and rear teams will not be able to respond. And he is in a situation where he can only be beaten and cannot fight back. Without the enemy's defeat, the broken soldiers trampled on each other, and countless casualties would be inflicted.
"Da Danyu, we can't march like this. So many people huddled together, although it can facilitate the quick issuance of commands. But once we are ambushed, we will trample on each other and suffer countless casualties. ā
"Oh, what do you have to do about King Huqiang?"
"Broken into pieces, each thousand-man team was fully rolled out under the leadership of a thousand horsemen. In this way, both in the mountains and in the ravines are our troops. Even if the Han army wants to ambush our army, I am afraid it will be very difficult. ā
"But in that case, the transmission of orders for the imminent battle will be too slow. In my opinion, half of the people were dispersed according to the practice of King Huqiang. The other half of the main force was still marching as it is now, so that no matter which team was attacked. Our brigade will be able to support immediately, and time will not be wasted on the transmission of military orders. I don't know what the big order will be. ā
Captain Zuo is a confidant of the military minister Shan Yu, and he has always had a dislike with King Huqiang. This time, such a compromise idea was actually intended to lose the face of King Huqiang. And under the trade-off, this kind of compromise idea is the most acceptable.
"Well, I think Captain Zuo's idea is a little more secure. It not only maintained the concentration of the army, but also took into account the prevention of the sneak attack of the Han army. Captain Zuo is really an old man. ā
Sure enough, after thinking for a while, the military minister adopted the advice of Captain Zuo. By the way, he also praised Captain Zuo, which made Captain Zuo very face-saving. Raising his arrogant head, he glanced at King Huqiang and snorted with a smug face.
King Huqiang felt helpless, but the bastard's compromise was also implemented in the past. It is indeed a bit inappropriate to raise one's own one, and the mobilization and command of the scattered army is indeed a big problem.
"What, they actually spread out and marched?"
Yun Xiao almost didn't jump up from the ground when he heard the news, the scouts of the Yun family have always been as far away as they are. As early as two days ago, Yun Xiao's scouts had discovered the Hun army.
The dust raised by the huge Xiongnu army obscured the sky and the sun, and it seemed that there were definitely fifty or sixty thousand troops, and the scouts of the Donghu people also detected similar information. After listening to the scout's report, Yun Xiao's intestines were all repentant, and he had nothing to do with such a big move. I was going to make a trap to dig out a wolf, but now it's a fucking tiger.
This morning I actually received worse news, and the Huns who had gathered suddenly dispersed. It is estimated that there will be about two days to reach Yongchang.
The generals were called together for a meeting again, this time on the agenda with only one agenda. Who is going to kill a team of 1,000 people from Donghu, so that the Huns will no longer dare to disperse the team.
"Tell me who is going to kill a team of thousands."
As soon as Yun Xiao's words fell, Wei Qing jumped up like a spring.
"I'll go, I'll go."
Dai Yu gave him a blank look, and Canghu pressed Wei Qing's head and pressed him to the ground.
"Wait until your hair grows up, the children and their children are still fighting before they have grown their hair."
Canghu didn't leave Wei Qing with any face, Wei Qing gritted his teeth with hatred but couldn't do anything. When I was a child, I didn't climb on the neck of the tiger.
"This battle is not easy to fight, and you can't be surrounded by the Huns even if you want to kill the Huns. It can only be played at night, and these two days are not full moons. It is conducive to attacking the camp at night, I think it is better for me to go with the tiger and the eagle. Our veterans have all fought at night, so they are familiar with it. Yulin and the Donghu people can't do this job at all. ā
Dai Yu thought for a moment and stood up. (To be continued......)
