Chapter 727: The Huns' Plan
"Is this the camp of the White Spirit Clan?" Mao Dun stood on a small hillside, looking at the distance of nearly a thousand steps ahead, the camp layout of the Bai Ling Clan could basically be seen clearly, Mao Dun frowned, and said: "It seems that the Dai army has been prepared for defense, and if you want to attack the big camp, I'm afraid it will not be easy, the night before yesterday, Keban suffered a big loss, with hundreds of casualties." ā
Although Maudon is not proficient in defense, he is a battle-hardened person after all, so he instinctively feels that the defensive arrangement of the Dai army is not easy to fight.
In fact, Fu Gongyan is not very familiar with the things of the conquest, after all, he lacks experience in this area, but at this time, he naturally can't show weakness, and said: "Shan Yu, we have worked hard for more than a month, and now we have finally found the brigade of the Bai Ling clan, success or failure is in one fell swoop, I see that although the camp of the Dai army is well defended, it is not impenetrable, of course, it is impossible to suffer any losses, but fortunately, the brigade of the Bai Ling clan is trapped in this valley, as long as the defense line is broken, The wealth of the population and livestock will be all ours. ā
Hearing this, Mao Dun's eyes also showed greed, because it can be seen very clearly from here that behind the camp defense line, there are indeed a large number of people and livestock, so if you can really grab this money, the harvest must be very rich, and as Fu Gongyan said, this battle has finally reached this point, and it is indeed the time of Guan Jian, there is no way to retreat, and this battle can only be held to the end.
Mao Dun nodded and said, "What Mr. said is not wrong, it is indeed a matter of success or failure now, and tomorrow it will be like a battalion attack." ā
At this time, it had been two days since the Xiongnu army arrived near the Bailing camp, except for a night attack at the beginning, the Xiongnu army did not attack the camp of the Dai army again, but only gathered troops and strengthened the defense of the camp. And now all the Hun armies have gathered, there are still more than 100,000 people in total, and the defense of the camp is basically built, of course, the Hun army is not good at building defensive positions, mainly with vehicles and horses to form a camp wall, and leave enough night vigil soldiers at night.
All aspects of the preparations are almost carried out, originally the Hun army dispatched, has always not brought heavy grain, this time under the construction of Fu Gongyan, only to prepare some grain and livestock, but after more than ten days of back and forth fighting, now there is not much left, if not launched, the Hun army is afraid that it will be chaotic first.
The two rode back to the camp, and Mao Dun immediately ordered to gather the leaders of the various departments to gather.
After a while, the leaders of all the tribes gathered in the big tent of Mao Dun, and Mao Dun said: "Everyone, it has been more than a month since we gathered the army, and now we have finally found the brigade of the Bai Ling Clan, as long as we break through the defense line of the Dai Army, then the population and wealth and livestock of the Bai Ling Clan will be ours, and you have all seen that they have a lot of people and livestock, so we will definitely be able to get a rich harvest." ā
After listening to Mao Dun's words, a cheering voice immediately sounded in the big tent, in fact, although the population and livestock of the Bailing tribe are not small, but for more than 100,000 Hun troops, it can only be regarded as okay, the big tribe may be able to grab a little more, and it can be divided a little more when it is distributed, but there is not much left in the turn of the small tribe, but now the leaders of the various departments also know the ability of the Bailing tribe, men can train beasts, women can treat, these two abilities are quite important to the Xiongnu tribe, It is indeed very beneficial to the development and growth of his own tribe.
In addition, the women of the Bai Ling clan are all born beautiful and abnormal, and they have silver hair, which has a unique flavor, and many tribal leaders are quite tempted, but although there are dozens of Bai Ling people in the camp now, they are now needed to contribute, and there are only a dozen women, which is not enough. Therefore, no one moved, but if they could break through the defense line of the Dai army this time, each tribe would always be able to get hundreds of Bailing people, and of course they could get a few Bailing women for themselves, whether it was public or private, it would be advantageous.
After everyone cheered for a while, Mao Dun said again: "I have decided that tomorrow will be like the defense line of the Dai army to attack, whoever has made the most credit and who has contributed the most will have the right to choose first when distributing the harvest." ā
After Mao Dun finished speaking, one person stood up among the leaders of the various tribes, and said: "Shan Yu, although the Bailing clan is in front of us, we have also seen that they have established a strong defense line, with trenches, horses, and guards by the Dai army, so it is not easy to break through the defense line, and we have been beaten several times in a row by the Dai Army, losing thousands of soldiers, and we have to plan well how to attack the defense line of the Dai Army." ā
This tribal leader is called Keban, a few days ago, he sent an army to attack the camp of the Bailing tribe at night, originally wanted to catch the other party by surprise, but not only did he not catch anything, but he lost his troops and dismantled the generals, and he didn't even know how he was defeated, and he came back in a daze, but he didn't dare to despise the army anymore, so he asked this question.
At this time, another patriarch named Zhuo Ge said: "Alone, the food we bring now is only enough for three or four days, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to meet the needs of a hundred thousand troops by hunting alone." Therefore, it is necessary to do everything possible to break through the camp of the Dai army. ā
Mao Dun said with a smile: "How to attack the defense line of the Dai Army, Mr. Fu Gong has a plan, so please ask Mr. Fu Gong to tell you about it." ā
Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Fu Gongyan's body, and Fu Gongyan said lightly: "What the patriarch of Fang Cai Keban said is good, the Dai army is brave and good at fighting, and their main general Gao Yuan is resourceful, and we don't have much food, so it is indeed not easy to break through the defense line of the Dai army, but they also have several weaknesses, as long as we can make good use of it, it is not difficult to break through the defense line of the Dai army." ā
Keban said: "What are their weaknesses? ā
Fu Gongyan said: "Although the number of the White Spirit Clan is quite large, it is all protected by the proxy army, and the men and horses who defeated us last time are all proxy troops, and the White Spirit Clan is not worried." However, although the Dai army is brave and good at fighting, it is not very numerous, only more than 2,000 people in total, while we have an army of 100,000 people, and the disparity in numbers is that this is their first weakness; Although the Dai army has established a strong defense line, it is still mainly based on bows and arrows to defend the defense line, and the Dai army is how many bows and arrows can be brought from afar, and when their bows and arrows are exhausted, they can only fight with us, which is their second weakness. ā
After a pause, Fu Gongyan continued: "Therefore, my plan is to consume their arrows first, and when their arrows are exhausted, we will rely on the advantage of numbers to launch a full-scale attack on them, so that we can calmly fill their trenches and horses, and break through the defense line in one fell swoop. It's just that this plan will have a certain number of casualties in the first few attacks, which is also inevitable, because otherwise, you can't consume the arrows of the army, but if you want to gain something, how can you not pay some price, I don't know what you think? ā
After listening to Fu Gongyan's speech, all the tribal leaders thought about it seriously, and they all thought that Fu Gongyan's plan was good, after all, everyone saw the defense line of the Dai Army, and it was impossible to break through this defense line without paying some price, and Fu Gongyan's plan could be regarded as the smallest loss, otherwise if he attacked the defense line of the Dai Army, he would only lose more, because just the trench to resist the horse was almost a trench that was difficult for the cavalry to cross, and I don't know how many people needed to be filled.
Seeing that everyone was moved by their own words, Fu Gongyan said again: "There will not be many arrows brought with the army on behalf of the army, I think at most in two or three days, we can use up their arrows, it will not drag on for too long, and there is also good news to tell you, Shan Yu has already estimated that the food we brought with the army is insufficient, so I have already ordered someone to transfer another batch of cattle, sheep, livestock and grain from Shan Yuting, and it will not take three or four days to send it to the army, and at that time, we can consume it with them for a long time." ā
After hearing this, all the tribal leaders were also greatly relieved, if it was really according to what Fu Gongyan said, this battle was indeed a victory, so everyone showed a satisfied smile on their faces.
Fu Gongyan said: "But tomorrow's battle, although the goal is to consume the arrows of the Dai Army, but also to fight seriously and go all out, only in this way can the Dai Army be forced to consume a large number of arrows." Maybe it would be better to break through the defense line of the Dai army tomorrow, but in this way, there will definitely be some casualties, in order not to let a certain tribe lose too much, so I think that the patriarchs will draw out one-tenth of their soldiers from their men and horses to form an army to attack the defense line of the Dai army tomorrow, so that it is fair and reasonable for each tribe, and the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the troops are also distributed in this way, but all the departments must fight hard, I don't know what you think. ā
Among the 100,000 troops gathered now, Maudun's army is the largest, more than 20,000 people, and the armies led by Keban and Zhuo Ge are in the second or third, all of them are more than 10,000 people, and the other tribes have only a few thousand, and several of them have only sent more than 1,000 people.
And each tribe of Fu Gong Yan Jian yƬ contributed one-tenth of their men and horses to participate in tomorrow's battle, the big tribe has a little more, and the small tribe has a little less, which is very fair and reasonable, and no one can say anything against it, so the tribal leaders have also unanimously accepted Fu Gongyan's opinion.
Seeing that the tribal leaders had no disagreement, Mao Dun was also very happy, and immediately ordered that the sheep and cattle be slaughtered, so that the whole army could have a full meal and prepare for tomorrow's battle.
