The Han army was waiting, waiting for some people who should enter the battlefield area, and waiting for the change of season.

As one of the people the Han army wanted to eliminate the most, Maudun has been operating in the Western Regions, and some intelligence shows that Maudun is not only looking for allies, but also invading the natives of the Western Regions.

Maoton's invasion of the natives of the Western Regions was to capture the population, to plunder materials for the upcoming war, and to show the new allies the strength of the Xiongnu.

The Xiongnu themselves were not weak, the warriors may not be very strong but very fierce, and they learned some new things more or less after being entangled with the Han army for a year or two, such as stirrups and saddles, tactical squad cooperation and brigade coordination.

Yes, the Huns had learned the secret of stirrups from the Han army, but the Huns did not have a mature smelting process, so naturally they could not make metal stirrups and saddles, but this did not prevent the Huns from making some similar tools according to the existing conditions.

Nowadays, almost everyone in the Xiongnu has prepared a rope sleeve for stepping on, the rope sleeve is fixed on both sides of the saddle, and a kind of wood is also installed at both ends of the rope sleeve to become a trampling relay board.

Equipped with simple stirrups, the Huns freed up their arms, which needed to hold their manes firmly when galloping, so that they were generally able to perform mounted and archery movements when fighting.

The Huns were not all fools without long brains, and it didn't take long for them to develop a new set of cavalry tactics when they discovered that they could do cavalry and archery movements lightly, that is, swimming mounted archery, which never charged hand-to-hand combat unless they had a great advantage, or relied on constant swimming archery to collapse the enemy. A new set of tactics of the Hun cavalry is being used to ravage the natives of the Western Regions, and it is unknown how many of the natives of the Western Regions have fallen under the arrows fired from the swimming.

The ethnic groups that migrated from the west to the east saw the strength that Mao Dun wanted to show Xiàn, and under Mao Dun's rhetoric, more ethnic groups that migrated east had chosen to move closer to the past, and what was extreme was that some other ethnic groups no longer had anything to do with the Huns.

The Huns were very strong, so how strong should the Han army, which cornered the Huns, be? Stupidly joined in, and then went together to deal with the Han army, which was as powerful as the Huns. No matter how you look at it, it's not a wise thing to do.

The natives of the Western Regions are destined to be ravaged by a group of people, and although the natives living in the Western Regions are not completely a social form of drinking blood, they are almost equal to nothing in terms of culture and industrial technology, that is, they present a tribal state that is even more backward than the Huns.

After a robbery and murder of various ethnic groups moving eastward, and the new tactics used by the Huns, the natives of the Western Regions did not know how many people could survive after experiencing this catastrophe.

The natives of the Western Regions may have bronze weapons, but there is absolutely no regularized army, not to mention the conditions for organizing shield arrays and arrow arrays to shoot at each other under the condition of equal strength, and they know that the Han army of the Huns training troops in the Western Regions only sneered at such behavior of the Xiongnu. If the Huns thought that the Han army was like a native of the Western Regions, the Han army with leading technology and even the Qin army would use a dense arrow array to teach people to behave in minutes.

The Han army paid due attention to the training of the Xiongnu cavalry in new tactics, but the Han army paid the most attention to Maudun's constant exploration of the terrain further west.

Maudun had been exploring the terrain and form of the west, which made the Han army have to suspect that Maudun's gathering of aliens and training was an illusion, and in fact Maudun wanted to break through in the direction of further west.

The Han army attached great importance to Maudun's first qiē operation, but a series of actions were unexpectedly fruitful, not really sure that Maudun was going to break through to the west, but because of the discovery of an armed force from the west, which was also a kind of nomadic unique costume. Should there be about 80,000?

The new alien name was called Wusun, a white-skinned race with Asian facial features, and the Han army learned that Wusun was a powerful tribal alliance in the north of the Western Regions, and the population of the tribal alliance should be five or six hundred thousand. Able to assemble more than 100,000 soldiers.

Can a population of five or six hundred thousand raise more than 100,000 troops? Such an ethnic group can definitely be called a nation with a brave bloodline, or at least a very warlike ethnic group.

What kind of existence is Wusun? The main body of the ethnic group is the Serbs, part of the population is absorbed into the Yue clan who fled westward, and the tribal royal family is the surname Mi. However, their surnames are not in front of their names, but after their names, for example, the current king of Wusun is called Bo Ximi.

There are definitely more than just the Sai race and the Yue race among the Wusun. There are also Dravidians and Persians similar to those in Indochina, and the dominant race is the appearance of a blue-eyed red-bearded monkey.

The Han army has its own observation of nomads, and when spying on intelligence, they are more curious about another part of the armed forces that are different from the nomads' clothing.

In addition to living in pursuit of water and grass, the characteristics of the nomads are inseparable from animal skins and cloak patterns, but some of the armed forces stored in the Wusun army are not like that.

The armament that is different from that of the Wusun people is not a single skin color. Part of the appearance is a yellow-skinned system, and the facial features are clear and tend to be beautiful; Some are white-skinned, yellow-haired, and blue-eyed, and look tall and burly; More of a black person with a pitch-black body, this type of person is short and not strong.

If Lu Zhe saw it with his own eyes, it was actually the Iranian plateau race, the Mediterranean race, and the African race. Those people were the Parthian army that encountered the Usun when they pursued the alliance to the east, and after a great battle, the Parthian alliance was defeated, and the defeated soldiers were captured by the Usun, and then the defeated army was organized into a slave army.

First of all, there were many Hu people in the grasslands outside the northern frontier of China and the Xiongnu, and then at least fifty or sixty ethnic groups migrated from the west to the east.

The arrival of the Wusun people began with the attack on the eastward migration group, and the eastward migration group that fell to the back was facing the killing and capture of the Wusun army, and the number of slave legions under the command of Wusun also increased with the pace of pursuit.

Don't forget that there are many Yueshi people who moved west in Wusun, and some Yueshi people will definitely gradually climb to a high position when they merge with Wusun, and the Yueshi and the Huns are the enemies of life and death, and they will inevitably have brain congestion and red eyes after discovering the Huns, and fall into the madness brought by hatred.

What is the Han army waiting for without action? It is waiting for the Wusun army to defeat the Xiongnu and the chaotic coalition forces in the Western Regions, including Maotun, or the Maotun and chaotic coalition forces to be driven to the east by the Wusun army.

"So......" Meng Tian never imagined that the situation would be so complicated: "You are trying to form an alliance with Wusun. And then a front and back pinch? ”

It was not Sima Xin who answered Meng Tian, it was Li Liang. The smile on Li Liang's face was a little weird: "General Meng, my king once said a sentence, that sentence is 'The strong are destined to be lonely, the strong do not need allies, and the responsibility of the strong is to eliminate all stumbling blocks that hinder the road of expansion'." ”

Meng Tian didn't react for a while, but the faces of the Qin generals next to him changed greatly.

What do you mean, that's? It's just that the Han army doesn't need allies at all, and there are only two kinds of existence recognized in the world, not their own people, then they must be enemies.

"Don't get me wrong." Li Liang saw that the faces of the Qin army generals changed drastically, and hurriedly added: "We are under the same race, and that sentence is aimed at different races. ”

Sima Xin glanced at Li Liang reproachfully, and quickly bypassed the topic with a haha, explaining: "We have never been in contact with Wusun, we don't know its national character, and we can't judge whether it is possible for Wusun people to become allies. The Wusun people are obviously not yet aware of our existence, and the reason for not touching us is to avoid the uncertain choices that will arise after the Wusun people discover us. ”

No one knew what Meng Tian was thinking, and there was no expression on his face.

The faces of the generals of the Qin army became extremely rigid, and the atmosphere became a little embarrassing for a while.

After some time. Li You was the first to speak to break the embarrassing silence: "So...... When are we going to march? ”

Perhaps wanting to remedy something, Li Liang was a little active, and he began to introduce the generals of the Qin army, saying that the military supplies on their side were enough to fight a big battle in the form of a campaign. The Hansai Foreign Front in the direction of Yuwoye was not yet ready.

The Han-Qin coalition army in the northern frontier of the Qin realm had the convenience of coming from the inland Yellow River system, but the supply of the Hansai Outer Front in the direction of Woye did not have such convenience, and the supply of the Hansai Outer Front Army relied on a large amount of manpower and animal power to take the route outside Yanmen by land, and the supply speed was far behind that of the Han-Qin coalition army in the northern part of the Qin realm.

Sima Xin, who had been silent, opened his mouth, but it made Li Liang embarrassed again. Sima Xin's decision was to advance westward appropriately, reversing the previous status quo in which Hansai was the main force and replacing it with their coalition army as the main force. The Hansai Outer Front, which was waiting for logistical supplies, became a partial division.

"The situation is changing rapidly, and it does change from time to time." Meng Tian obviously agreed: "The current situation is that the space of the Xiongnu and other Hu people in the west is being compressed by the Wusun people...... but there is no need to say much about the latter words.

The Huns have not yet discovered the Han and Qin coalition forces one hundred and fifty miles away from them, and the Chinese armed forces are exposed to the Hansai Outer Front in the direction of Woye, so unless Touman has enough courage to ignore the threat of the Han army in the direction of Woye and break through to the west, otherwise the force will definitely be compressed to the area at the source of the Yellow River.

"It's spring, it's the season for the Hu people to have their livestock in estrus and mating, and according to Touman's choice to take the risk of staying where he is, the Hu people's military rations must be in short supply." Nesten didn't know what he was trying to say.

Meng Tian immediately looked at Sima Xin.

Whether the Xiongnu and other Hu people will break through is really five or five, and it is time to test Sima Xin's judgment on the occupation.

The strength structure of the Han and Qin coalition forces is to have 60,000 cavalry, 5,000 chariots, 155,000 infantry soldiers, and the rest is about 100,000 auxiliaries.

In his heart, Sima Xin really didn't want to face more than 500,000 enemy troops alone without absolute certainty...... Of course, because of the fault tolerance of intelligence, he didn't know that the enemy army was not as many as 500,000 at all.

In the vast terrain, with only 60,000 cavalry, the rest are all infantry troops, to face the enemy army with absolute mobility advantage, it has to be said that it is a headache, Sima Xin does not want to be disgraced for the first time as the commander of hundreds of thousands of troops.

But...... Judging by a series of intelligence, it is obviously not possible to not enter the army, if the Huns really break through to the west, then after such a long time of preparation, and spend a huge amount of manpower and material resources, will it not become a futile and wasteful act, then how to face the king and tens of millions of hometown fathers?

"Enter!" No matter what he was hesitating in his heart, Sima Xin was confident in decisiveness.

At that moment, Meng Tian's eyes narrowed, of course he couldn't understand Sima Xin's heart, but he also thought that even if there was a time difference in the strength of the troops, he had to enter the army.

Of course, the decision to march has been decided, but it is not just a matter of leaving, and in addition to the preparations of the army itself, it is necessary to send a notice to the Hansai Foreign Front in the fertile field.

After three days, the army had enough water reserves, and the mentality of the soldiers was adjusted in time, and the total number of 320,000 Han and Qin coalition troops could be regarded as marching westward.

More than 150 miles away, the Huns will not patrol so far, when the two sides are close to 100 miles, they are still outside the warning distance, and it is only when the two sides are close to about 70 miles that the figure of the Han and Qin coalition forces can be regarded as entering the Sentinel distance of the Huns and other Hu people.

The Xiongnu and other Hu people were not too surprised to find the enemy army coming from the south, after all, even if the time was calculated, even if it was slow, the Huaxia ethnic group should have reinforcements to the north.

"It's time!" Touman's gesture was as if he had been waiting for a long time: "Gather our warriors, sharpen our weapons, kill cattle and sheep and make preserved ......meat, and prepare for a good fight, let us fight with the enemy to our heart's content!" ”

When he discovered that there were enemy troops coming from the south, no one knew what the mood of Touman, who was high on the surface, was in his heart, and the overall situation of the Hu people staying at the source of the Yellow River seemed relatively calm, and there was no panic. On the one hand, they are concerned about the enemy forces in the direction of the fertile field, and on the other hand, they are gathering their own troops and allies in the direction of the Western Regions, and they actually want to have a life-and-death battle with the enemy on the flat terrain?
