Open the Han-Hungarian map at this time.

Even the most insignificant people can see at a glance that there is a city that stands outside the Great Wall, becoming one of the few large cities that is exposed to the defenses of the Great Wall.

It is the city of Mayi.

This city, outside the Yanmen Pass, has long been the key point of Han and Hungarian attack and defense.

Moreover, neither the Han nor the Xiongnu could let this city fall into the hands of the enemy during the war.

Because, if Ma Yi is in the hands of the Han, the Han army can copy the back road of the Hun cavalry from the north.

Any army that loses its way of retreat will basically be condemned to death for betrayal.

And, if it falls into the hands of the Xiongnu, then, in front of the Yanmen Pass, the Han army will have no danger to defend, and the vast area behind the Yanmen Pass will also be exposed to the hooves of the Xiongnu iron horsemen.

Even if it is Yanmen, it will be difficult to defend.

The experience of the previous Han-Hungarian wars tells both sides.

If Ma Yi is there, then Yanmen can be guarded, and if Ma Yi is not there, then Yanmen will be lost!

As soon as Yanmen is lost, Yunzhong and Daijun will lose the cover of their flanks and will be exposed to the Hun cavalry.

The Huns drooled when they looked at Mayi City, and it was not a matter of a day or two.

However, the Han army hoarded heavy troops near Yanmen Pass.

Even Yi Shan Yuting's understanding of the Han Dynasty also knew that two of the five major field legions of the Han Dynasty were behind Yanmen Pass.

The Juzhu army was directly stationed at Yanmen Pass, and for 30 years, it never moved its defense.

This elite field force, with a total combat strength of 14,000 people, is an 'old friend' of the two tribes of the Xiongnu White Aries and Lou Nu.

each other over the past thirty years, the size of the friction. Hundreds of them happened.

Each other has won and lost, even the proudest Huns. I also have to pay tribute to this elite Han army.

So. When Ma Yi's name came out of the mouth of the military minister, King Aries and King Lou Fu both felt a chill on their backs and a slight itch in the chrysanthemums.

It was a difficult opponent, and he was known for his bravery and tenacity.

Moreover, the soul of the sentence note army was first called Xiahou Ying, and then Li Ji. Now he is the general of the Han Dynasty and the general Su Fei, a close confidant of Prime Minister Zhou Yafu.

This is the former generation of Yanmen Taishou, the son of Su Yi, the prime minister of the late Han Dynasty Chu State, who served as Liji's deputy in the past, although he has a bad reputation, but he is a difficult opponent!

Crossing the Yanmen Pass, near the ancient Flying Fox Road, where the Han army stationed another world-famous field corps, the Flying Fox Army.

This is also an elite team that has not moved in decades.

It was a reserve army arranged by the Han Dynasty behind the Great Wall, and it was a reinforcement that could support all directions in the north of the Great Wall anytime and anywhere.

All the time. This army is the duty of the fire brigade.

Five years ago, the military minister personally led an army to invade the Great Wall. The Flying Fox Army made a deep impression on him.

At that time, this army used a rain of arrows to cover the sky and a solid front. forced 20,000 cavalry of the Huns and had to make a detour. Embarrassed to quit the land.

And the size of this force is very large, standing forces. It remains at about 20,000 all year round.

The first problem that anyone who has ideas about the Han Dynasty is this: how to deal with that damn Flying Fox Army!

Not to mention, the Huns have heard the rumors, and the Flying Fox Army has undergone a comprehensive change of clothing last year and this year.

It has gone from being a pure infantry corps to a mixed infantry corps with at least four thousand cavalry, and it is said that the emperor of the Han Dynasty, in particular, ordered that the most advanced weaponry and the best officers be given priority to the Flying Fox Army.

This makes this old opponent even more difficult and terrifying!

In addition, the palace guards of the Dai King stationed in Dai Guo and Shangjun, as well as the garrison of the Great Wall in Shangjun, were also objects that the Xiongnu had to consider.

In addition, once the war drags on, the main cavalry of the Han Dynasty stationed in Longyou may appear on the battlefield at any time.

Also, once the Xiongnu forces were concentrated near Yanmen.

Well, on the right flank, the Huns exposed a huge loophole.

The Han cavalry in the clouds will definitely be willing to go to the Hetao, and the Han army who will return to the middle road will definitely not mind and come to the grassland for a walk.

The Han troops stationed in Yunzhong and Huizhongdao had at least 15,000 cavalry.

This force, once it enters the Hetao, which lacks troops, is no different from a fox entering a chicken coop.

The Xiongnu tribes in the Hetao Plain and even in the Hexi Corridor are all going to be unlucky.

In particular, Kun Xie and Xiu Tu are the first to bear the brunt.

These questions were clear in the hearts of every Xiongnu nobleman present.

However, the temptation of Ma Yi is so great.

So much so that few people can suppress their feelings.

It has been five years since the last Han-Hungarian war.

The wealth and population accumulated in the city of Mayi must have increased to an astonishing extent.

Moreover, as a city exposed outside the Great Wall, the power of the Huns in the city of Mayi also penetrated more.

At least, there were four or five merchants in the city, who made their fortune by trading with the Xiongnu.

To these merchants, the Huns were well aware.

As long as enough benefits are given, it is not impossible for them to be internally responsible.

In the past few decades, every time Ma Yi changed hands, the city was the first to come out, either to open the city gates, or to create chaos, so that the Xiongnu army could quickly take the city at a small cost.

However, the reaction of the Han Dynasty was extremely rapid every time.

In the end, the city will still return to the Han army.

It's just that the most recent change of hands happened ten years ago.

At that time, the Xiongnu still had the subordinates and forces of Han Wangxin in the past to take advantage of.

But now, this advantage is gone.

Han Wangxin's sister-in-law, Han Jundang, ran back to the Han Dynasty nine years ago and acted as the minister of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and it is said that he mixed very well.

The remaining Han family who remained in the grassland, after losing the power of their descendants, only had the ability to slap horses.

As for another force that can be used, Lu Juan's descendant, Lu Tazhi, the king of Donghu?

If this wall grass can be trusted. Sows can go up trees!

The military minister even suspected that Lu Tazhi was likely to agree to it in person. When I turned around, I sold myself.

Then, when the Huns arrived in Mayi. It was easy to find that he was surrounded by the great armies of the Han Dynasty - the hilly area in front of Mayi and the deep mountains, old forests and valleys nearby, hiding 100,000 people.

"Mayi City ......" the military minister paced in the tent.

If the battle is well controlled, the battle will be quickly ended, the population, food, and wealth will be stolen, and the responsibility will be planted on a temporary worker again.

For example, after the Battle of Henan. Lao Shangdan Yu put the responsibility for provoking the war on King Lu Hou.

Come to think of it, the Han Dynasty was also helpless.

In the end, there is even a huge ransom fee.

In the Han Dynasty, it was impossible not to have Ma Yi.

But if it is not well controlled, or it is delayed for a little longer.

It would turn into a full-scale scuffle like it did 10 years ago and 18 years ago.

The two countries were on the side of the Great Wall, entangled and tug-of-war for two or three years.

Not only was the Han Dynasty unbearable, but the Xiongnu were also a little unbearable.

After all, as a nomadic empire, hundreds of thousands of young people. The Long Wall fought against the Han Dynasty at the foot of the Great Wall.

What about livestock and pastures in the country?

The nobles in the tent, no one will forget, the Han-Hungarian war, the result of which the backyard caught fire. Ding Lingren and the horse bandits formed by the Xiaoyue clan were in chaos everywhere, and the countries in the Western Regions also began to have bad intentions. Stir.

So much so that in the year after the end of the war, many Huns. All the children born in that year will be drowned.

Because, they can't be sure that this child is their own species.

In order to avoid raising a mongrel. That's all they can do.

And such a loss was unbearable for the Huns.

Facts have proved that not only agrarian countries will be dragged down by war, but in fact, nomadic countries will also fall into internal and external difficulties in the long war.

It's just that nomads have a stronger tolerance than farming countries.

And they themselves are poor, and if they are poorer, they will be like that.

This is the so-called barefoot is not afraid to wear shoes.

After thinking about it, the military minister threw the question back to Lan Sintuo and asked, "Do you have a plan?" ”

It was not long before the Huns began to have a sense of strategy.

During the Maotun period, the only strategy of the Xiongnu Empire was: whoever provokes me, I will beat whom.

There is simply no unified planning and prioritization.

But when the old Shangdan was in his hands, the eloquent old Shangdan Yu carried out a transformation of the Xiongnu, especially after getting the Zhongxing said, with the help of the eunuchs of the Han Dynasty, the Huns began to count the livestock population for the first time, plan the grazing order, and at the same time, also had a strategic awareness and operational deployment.

Since then, the Xiongnu, as an empire, have really begun to reach the top.

It was through such a transformation that the Xiongnu were able to defeat the powerful Yueshi people, establish a supremacy on this grassland, and rule the 36 countries of the Western Regions.

"Returning to Da Dan Yu, the slave has already thought about it......," Lan Tuoxin knelt down and said, "I just don't know, Da Shan only wants to get Ma Yi, or even Yanmen?" ”

Of course, I only want to take the mayg!

The high walls of Yanmen Pass are thick, and it is not so easy to take it down!

Moreover, beating Ma Yi can also be said to be a lesson to the Han Dynasty, letting the Han Dynasty know that the Xiongnu are not easy to provoke, and forcing the Han Dynasty to hand over the Wusun people.

But if it attacks Yanmen Pass.

The military minister knows with his ass that his short-tempered son-in-law may expand the war in an all-round way!

The three generations of the Liu family are all one urine!

Starting from Liu Heng, as long as the Hun army dares to cross the Great Wall, then, no, let's talk about it, fight for a year and a half, and then decide whether to negotiate peace!

The military minister still wants to rob Dawan's craftsmen!

Where did you spend so much time at the foot of the Great Wall and the Han Dynasty?

But, as Shan Yu, of course, the military minister can't say that.

As Shan Yu, he needs to prove his iron will and toughness at home and abroad at all times.

"What if you only take the horse, and what if you take the Yanmen?" The military minister sat down and asked.

"Returning to the big order!" Lan Tuoxin kowtowed and said: "If Da Dan Yu wants to take Yanmen together, then it is necessary to use the ten thousand cavalry of the royal court, and also mobilize the ten thousand cavalry of Lu Hou, Zhelan and other tribes, and the ten thousand cavalry of Lu Lu, Lou Fu and the right Xian Wang, at least 140,000 cavalry, starry night, when the moon is full, launch an attack, and retreat until the moon is lost!" ”

The military minister listened and nodded.

Since ancient times, the Xiongnu have followed the waxing and waning of the moon.

When the moon is full, attack with all your might, and retreat when the moon is waning.

This is not only due to traditional and religious reasons, but also because the supply of the Hun cavalry can only last half a month's offensive.

They had to return to the grasslands to replenish their supplies before they ran out of supplies.

Otherwise, how could a cavalry fighting hungry fight with people?

However, the mobilization of 140,000 cavalry, which is impossible in the current Huns!

Ten years ago, the bitter lesson at the foot of the Great Wall told the Huns that if they had more than 100,000 troops, they would definitely lose money when they came to the Han Dynasty.

Because more than 100,000 Hun cavalry, once appeared near the Great Wall.

The whole Han Dynasty will be like facing a great enemy, and the whole country will be mobilized.

At every turn, near the Great Wall, hundreds of thousands of foot riders were hoarded.

Then, the two sides stared at each other for a year and a half.

When they can't stand it anymore, they start to discuss the end.

Although the Han Dynasty suffered heavy losses, a large number of young and strong people were transferred alone, which would lead to the abandonment of large areas of land in the north.

But how could the Huns be an exception?

In the vast grasslands, large areas of fertile pastures are occupied by thieves and robbers.

Even the women of the tribe will be seduced, and many will have green heads on their heads.

Even if these problems are not considered, hundreds of thousands of cavalry, eating, drinking and Lazar at the foot of the Great Wall, need to be supplied with two or three million livestock herds.

If you can grab a large number of wealth, people and materials, then forget it!

The point is that in the context of the Han-Hungarian War, the Han Dynasty would set fire to all the villages and pastorals that were exposed outside the city.

Even wells will be poisoned!

And attacking the fortified city will only end up with one end - heavy casualties!

Therefore, the vast majority of the Hun nobles, including the military ministers, shook their heads like rattles when they heard that they would mobilize so many cavalry to go south.

"Tell me more, if this is a single Yu, as long as Ma Yi, how about it?" The military minister asked after considering the choice of words.

"If you only take the Mayi, Shan Yu only needs to mobilize the ten thousand horsemen of the three tribes of Lou Fu, Ruolu and Zhelan, with the Right Xian King as the vanguard, and take the Ma Yi by surprise!" Lan Tuoxin knelt on the ground and said: "Shan Yu Mingjian, my Xiongnu used to go south after winter and October, so the Han Dynasty was not strict in defense in summer and autumn, and in winter, it was extra vigilant!" The minions thought that maybe we could grasp this psychology of the Han Dynasty and go south in August or September, and attack Mayi in a situation that the Han Dynasty did not expect! ”

"If that's the case, please Da Danyu order the Ruolu tribe and the Zhelan tribe to get up immediately and move south to the Hetao to join the Lou Fan tribe!" Randoshin laid out the strategy he had been meditating on, and in his opinion, the plan was perfect!

Taking advantage of the inertial thinking of the Han Dynasty people and choosing to fight in autumn instead of the usual winter, it will inevitably be able to catch the Han Dynasty off guard.

"Chiefs, what is this plan for Lantosin?" The warlord turned to the other clan leaders and asked.

But his heart has actually been touched.

For any of the Xiongnu's Shan Yu.

If you have the opportunity to make a fortune in the south, why not go?

What's more, this time the Han Dynasty also gave itself the perfect excuse.

Containing the enemies of the Xiongnu, this is to slap the Xiongnu in the face, and the Xiongnu retaliate by attacking a city outside the Great Wall, which is not considered to tear up the peace treaty.

As long as they can win, the Han Dynasty people can only choose to be soft. (To be continued.) )
