Tonight, the stars are shining, a crescent moon hangs high in the sky.

In the large camp under Yin Zhixian, many nobles suddenly began to wake up their deployment and distribute bags of precious cheese and hay.

These are the last coffin books that Yin Zhixian saved by doing everything possible.

"Have you already told the Aries King and the Lou Fu King?" Yin Zhi stood diagonally on a hillside and asked his left and right henchmen.

"Tu Hao, we have already informed Bai Aries and Lou Fu that we will break through to the north of the Han army tonight!" A nobleman said.

"Hmm!" Yin Zhi nodded obliquely, looked back at the other nobleman, and said, "The slaves and the defeated soldiers, have they all been organized?" ”

"Good!" Yin Zhixian nodded indifferently.

Among the cavalry of his Right Xian King's headquarters, there were about 3,000 slaves as an auxiliary force for the army.

To be reasonable, they can follow the cavalry of their own army, and the status of these slaves is also relatively high in their tribes.

But now in order to let the main force break through, these slaves can only die.

In addition, the rout of the Zhelan tribe was also betrayed by Yin Zhixian mercilessly.

They will break through with Yin Zhixian's slaves in the direction of due north.

Whether he can break through or not, Yin Zhixian doesn't care.

As long as it can attract the attention of the Han army a little, it will be fine.

"After they set off, we will immediately lurk in the hills to the northwest......" Yin Zhixian commanded: "When the King of Lou Fu and the King of Aries also start to break through, we will take action!" ”

"Yes!" The nobles took the order and left.

Only Yin Zhixian was still standing on the hillside. Look at the lush earth in the moonlight.

Tonight, the stars are good. But it's also starting to fog up.

Late autumn in the north, the temperature difference between day and night. It becomes huge.

During the day, the sun is scorching, and the temperature often reaches more than 20 degrees, but at night, the fog is thick, and sometimes even frost, and the temperature drops directly below zero.

Although the Huns were hardy, they could not withstand such temperature changes.

In the past three days, inside the Xiongnu coalition army. Dozens of people have already frozen to death.

What's even more terrifying is that the pace of the harsh winter is getting closer and closer.

Fifty-six years ago, in the decisive battle of the Han-Hun Pingcheng, the soldiers of the two countries who actually died in the battle may add up to only a few hundred.

But the number of frostbite people who froze to death was in the thousands.

The Han army had 30% of the soldiers and was forced to amputate their limbs.

On the Xiongnu side, there were also four or five thousand people, who were permanently disabled.

Countless horses and livestock were killed.

Yin Zhi tightened the sheepskin jacket on his body. He knew that even if all went well, he would be able to escape the encirclement.

His headquarters will also be in the cold, hungry and lost. Heavy losses.

At the beginning, there were nearly 10,000 cavalry entering the customs.

can run out of the encirclement of the Han army. Probably only two or three thousand.

In the event of interception and interception, hundreds of people can escape. It's already a blessing!

But he had to!

……………………………………

Han army camp.

Yizong also stood on a hillside, overlooking the Hun camp in the encirclement.

It's different from the Hun camp.

Han army camp. The bonfire was blazing, and the soldiers gathered around the bonfire, roasting the fire and eating the hot mutton.

A simple bronze stove was hung in the center of the bonfire, and pieces of thinly sliced lamb were thrown into it.

The aroma of the meat is overflowing, which makes people appetize.

In recent days, the Han army has been slaughtering pigs and cattle to reward and boost the morale of the soldiers with rich meat.

It turns out that the people of the Great Foodie Empire, as long as they are well fed and drunk, can overcome all difficulties.

"Yin Zhixian, it shouldn't be today, it's tomorrow, and you will break through!" Yi Zong instructed the generals around him: "Keep an eye on me, if there is any trouble, tell me immediately!" ”

"No!" All the generals bowed and bowed.

The Hun army in the encirclement, at this moment, is already fat in the eyes of all Han army generals.

The intelligence and news from the king of Lou Fu and his subordinates confirmed that the Huns were now exhausted, desperate, and their morale had fallen into the abyss.

If at the beginning, the Han army was still a little worried that if the Huns in the encirclement were desperate, it was estimated that they would break a few teeth.

Today, however, there is no such concern.

King Xiang broke the cauldron under Julu City, and Huaiyin fought against the water in Jingcheng.

All of them were victories in a state of abundant grain and grass and high morale.

And now, the Huns in the encirclement are short of water and food.

The siege lasted for more than ten days, and all their strength was exhausted.

Even if a tiger falls into the trap of a hunter and struggles for a few days, it will be like a lamb, and will be slaughtered by others.

No matter how powerful the Huns are, they are already at the end of their crossbows.

Others can be optimistic, but as a manager, Yizong knows that he can't be optimistic.

In that year, in the Battle of Changping, Zhao Kuo, the commander of the Zhao army, after being surrounded by the Baiqi Army for forty-six days, ran out of ammunition and food, and was still able to launch a terrible counterattack, almost breaking out of the encirclement.

Everyone in the world thinks that Ma Fuzi is talking on paper, which is ridiculous.

But who knew that the predicament Zhao army had launched five desperate attacks, and the most successful one almost broke through the Qin army's defense line?

The battle of trapped beasts has always been the most terrifying.

In the Battle of Changping, although the Qin army won, the losses were also tens of thousands.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Yizong did not plan to attack the Huns in the encirclement, let alone make it impossible for the Huns to break through any line of defense.

Instead, learn from the Marquis of Huaiyin, using ambushes and layers of interceptions to deal with and weaken the Huns.

But the tactic of ambushing from all sides, even if it is the Marquis of Huaiyin, has only been used once in a lifetime.

Extremely risky!

Moreover, the situation today is completely different from that of Haixia.

The Huns were all cavalry.

If the cavalry wants to run away, if they want to intercept it all, and destroy it all, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult.

Therefore, although the Han army said that it was going to use ten sides to ambush, it also considered a lot. Many changes have been made.

Instead of copying it rigidly, it was arranged according to the strategy and deployment of the Marquis of Huaiyin.

Instead, a lot of changes have been made.

The biggest change. Nothing more, now. Every interception position set up by the Han army was a mixture of cavalry and foot.

The infantry is used as the main force of interception, and the cavalry is a meat-eating existence.

The Huns wanted to pass through such an interception position, yes!

But he had to leave something behind.

And the Han army arranged more than five interception positions in all possible breakthrough directions of the Xiongnu army, each of which happened to be stuck in the place where the Huns had to pass.

In addition to this, there is a cavalry force of 5,000 men, which acts as a mobile force to support anytime and anywhere.

Of course. Just like the deployment of the Marquis of Huaiyin under Hai.

Ambush on all sides, not only to weaken the enemy, but also to destroy the enemy!

All interceptions and blockades are preparations for the final and complete destruction of the enemy.

"Is the cuirass ready?" Yi Zong asked the officers of Tiger Benwei and Yu Linwei.

"General Hui, I'm ready, and we can fight again!" The horses of the two armies replied one after another.

"Good!" Yi Zong nodded, but also sighed in his heart.

The cuirass is easy to use, and strong is powerful.

But it's too delicate.

Not only are the soldiers delicate, but the horses and equipment are also very delicate.

A riding spear. The cost is often as high as dozens of gold, and a set of cuirasses is not far behind.

Moreover, the production of these two types of equipment is extremely small. The manufacturing process is long.

At the current rate, the Han army is equipped with a maximum of about 2,000 horsemen a year.

And the war horse is even more expensive.

Those who can be used as cuirass horses are all maximals in the true sense. Each one is a tall horse selected from thousands of war horses.

These war horses. It's not just about size, it's about endurance and explosiveness. There are also requirements.

Nowadays in China, if you can meet the standard of war horses, you don't know if there are 5,000 of them!

This is still counting the figures after the capture of the Hosoyanagi battalion.

It's even more cumbersome to serve.

Once the cuirassiers go into battle, the horses have to recuperate for three days before they can regain their strength.

For example, in the battle of Wuzhou Sai, although the cuirassiers defeated Zhelan majestically in the front, they almost single-handedly annihilated the trump card tribe of the Huns.

But then, the cuirassiers lay on their stomachs.

There were at least a thousand horsemen, caught in the embarrassing situation of not being able to fight anymore.

Their horses and equipment need to be cared for and maintained.

There were even more than 30 soldiers and more than 100 war horses, who had to retire because of their injuries.

In World War I, we lost 10% of our combat strength......

In other words, the existing cuirassier units were only enough for twenty uses......

The only good news was that in Shanglin Yuan in Chang'an, Chu Qiang of the Taifu Yamen had already begun to breed war horses specifically for cuirassier troops.

It is bred with Wusun horses and excellent war horses native to the Han Dynasty.

In a few years, a special cuirass horse can be bred.

At that time, the cuirassiers of the Han family should be able to get rid of the embarrassing situation they are in now.

No longer a unit that can only be used twenty times.

In this operation, the cuirassiers still had to carry the girders.

The Yizong placed them at the end of the direction where the Huns were most likely to break through.

Let them run headlong into the strongest cavalry phalanx in the world.

Suddenly, Yizong found that in the distant Xiongnu camp, there seemed to be three bonfires.

"Immediately send an order to the whole army: the Huns are going to break through!" Yi Zong immediately turned around and ordered.

These three bonfires are the signal of his agreement with Lou Annoying, which means that Yin Zhixian is ready to break through.

Knock knock!

Moments later, the drums of war sounded.

After hearing the sound of war drums, the various Han army barracks arranged on the vast field immediately began to enter the combat state in accordance with the order.

………………………………

At the same time, in the camp of the King of Loufu.

At this moment, there were corpses all over the field, and blood stained the entire camp.

Hundreds of corpses, Chen Ge was scattered all over the camp.

In some corners, there are even sounds of fighting.

King Lou Fu kicked away a headless corpse and said indifferently: "Idiot, you are actually stupid and loyal to the Huns!" It's not a pity to die! ”

This corpse was once his friend, a nobleman of the Huyan clan of the Xiongnu.

I once drank with him and was very intimate.

But. At this moment, King Lou Fu killed him with his own hands. And suddenly he drew a knife and slit his throat.

He was still asking why.

"The King. We have dealt with most of the Xiongnu officials, but there are also a small number of people, under the command of some foolish loyalists, trying to ......resist in vain," said a nobleman who walked up to the king of Lou Fu with his head in his hand.

"Do you still need to ask about this kind of thing?" King Lou said coldly: "Kill!" Don't leave a single one! ”

"But ......," said the nobleman, "Zuo Da is in charge, and with his people, he ran into your little prince's tent and kidnapped the little prince. The minions don't know what to do......"

"The little prince?" King Lou took a deep breath.

That was his favorite son.

It is also the only heir he brought with him when he went out to the army this time.

This time he betrayed the Huns, and it is foreseeable that his wife, concubines, and children who stayed on the grassland will not end well.

With a bit of luck, maybe being punished as a slave, or RBQ.

But if you're unlucky, your head will be made into a flask.

Therefore, it is highly likely that this is the only child he has now.

If something happens to him. In all probability......

However, King Lou Fu looked at the Han envoy who was following him, he did not hesitate, and immediately ordered: "Don't worry about the little prince." Attack now, shoot and kill! ”

The son dies and can be reborn.

My wife died. You can remarry.

But the head is gone, but there is no longer possibility.

Tribes of the steppe. Always smart. Know to make the best choice for you.

I want to make a good impression in front of my new master and not make sacrifices. How?

With the order of the king of Loufu, several nobles immediately rushed into a certain tent with hundreds of people.

Then, there was the sound of fighting and wailing.

Then, a few bloody nobles carried a few heads, walked up to the king of Lou Fu and knelt down: "King, the minions are fortunate not to be dishonored, and they have killed Zuo Da Danghu, this is the head of this thief...... But ......" they bowed their heads and said, "The little prince was also killed......"

King Lou Fu turned his back to his courtiers, squeezed out a few tears, and said to the Han envoy, "Let the angel see ...... smile."

…………………………

The situation in the Lou Fu camp was soon discovered by the Aries Wanggu.

At this time, he had just rushed out of the camp with his own tribal cavalry, ready to set off.

But when he turned around, he saw that Lou Nuren not only did not follow him, but closed the camp gate, and immediately the sound of fighting broke out, even if he was an idiot, he understood.

"These vile buildings are annoying!" Gu shot and scolded.

Originally, Yin Zhixian broke through from the north according to the agreement, which made him happy and felt that he should be able to escape.

But who knows, this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes actually jumped back!

However, this is exactly the nature of the steppe tribes!

In order to survive, there is nothing they can't do.

"What should I do?" The nobles of the Aries King panicked all of a sudden, if Aries and Lou Fu jointly broke through, more than 20,000 cavalry could always run out of a few thousand.

But now, the king of Lou is annoying, and the Aries tribe wants to break through? The success rate is infinitely close to zero.

Gu Jie looked at the cavalry in the north and rushed out from the direction of Yin Zhixi's camp, he gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go!" We Aries tribes are on our own! ”

Gu Jian understands that it can't be delayed now.

If it drags on any longer, once Yin Zhixian's troops who broke through in the north are wiped out by the Han army, he, a lonely 10,000-odd person, will soon face the end of the world!

……………………

At the same moment, Yin Zhixian, who was lurking in the hills, looked at the firelight and shouting in the direction of the Loufu camp in the distance, and his back was also cold, and his heart palpitated.

It wasn't until the Aries tribe moved and broke through in the northwest direction that he felt a little relieved.

"Prepare to break through in the predetermined direction immediately!" Yin Zhixian ordered, and then he said to a few Han businessmen beside him: "I still want to trouble you, guide the direction and path for this king......"

When these merchants heard this, they immediately knelt down and said, "It is our honor to die for the king......

But in fact, they are already repentant at the moment, and even their intestines are green!

Originally, they helped the Huns sneak attack on Ma Yi and lead the way, and they and their predecessors had done these things.

The Xiongnu army invaded, killing and looting all the way, and the treasures, utensils, and wealth they obtained always needed a channel to exchange for the metal, silk, cloth, and medicinal materials they needed.

At this time, they who led the way for the Huns naturally took the opportunity to start at a low price.

Countless families and businessmen have made a fortune by such means, and their mouths are full of oil.

But there is a know, this time there is such a big problem.

Instead of making a profit, he lost his entire net worth.

Ma Yi City hung the heads of their family men and subordinates as early as ten days ago, which means that most of them have seen through their schemes and schemes.

The whole family was killed, and the family property was confiscated.

Now, they have to flee with these Huns.

"If I had known this, I shouldn't have been deluded and did such a thing...... "Countless people wailed in their hearts, but they had to pretend to be ecstatic, and forced a smile in front of this Hun chieftain, wagging their tails like dogs and begging for mercy. (To be continued.) )
