Chapter 739: Cutting off supply

Just when the Xiongnu army launched an attack on the defense line of the Dai army, Ah Ran Shi Qiqi also led the Fan Yong army, fought out of a canyon, and galloped on the grassland. And among the centaurs, there are countless gray-black wolves, and the leader is a big wolf with white fur, of course, Xiaobai.

Although it turned out that although it retreated into the valley, the plateau still sent a large number of scouts to closely monitor the movements of the Xiongnu camp, and at dusk yesterday, the plateau received a message from the scouts, knowing that there was a Xiongnu army, escorting a large number of grain and grass materials, and driving hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep and livestock to the Xiongnu camp.

This is exactly what the plateau has been concerned about, although the Hun army basically has no concept of logistics supply, but the consumption of 100,000 troops, is still a huge number, if there is no necessary logistics supply, 100,000 troops can not be maintained for too long, and there are auxiliary Gongyan in the Xiongnu army, although the auxiliary Gongyan lacks the experience of leading the army, but this basic common sense should be there, so this Xiongnu army is likely to have a certain logistics supply, which is also the target of the scouts.

Now that the logistics support team of the Xiongnu has finally been found, Gao Yuan will naturally not let it go, so he immediately ordered Ah Ran Shi Qihuan to lead the Fan Yong army to attack and attack the logistics support team of the Xiongnu army. If the attack is successful, it will immediately pass back to the plateau with flying birds, and then cooperate with the army guarding the camp, flank the front and back, and defeat the Xiongnu army in one fell swoop.

And Gao Yuan was worried that the strength of the Fan Yong Army was insufficient, so he transferred 200 Bai Ling warriors and led 800 wolves to reinforce the Fan Yong Army, and this mixed army of people and wolves, Gao Yuan handed over the command of Luo Huan and Jiang Mingxia, and asked them to take Xiao Bai with them. Because Xiao Bai's ability to control the wolves is stronger than that of the Bai Ling people, and among the existing personnel, except for Gao Yuan and Yun Yao, only Luo Huan and Jiang Mingxia can command Xiao Bai.

Luo Huan has been in the army for almost two years, although he has experienced a lot of battles, but this is the first time he has been on the battlefield in person, and he is out of the direct command of the plateau, so the excitement at this time is far greater than the nervousness of the first battle.

The Fan Yong army squatted in the canyon for six or seven days, the offensive and defensive battles in the direction of the camp were very fierce in the past two days, and the soldiers of the Fan Yong army were also a little itchy, and now they finally waited for the order to attack, naturally everyone was excited, and the men and horses had enough rest in the past few days, at this time, both the body and morale had reached the best state, plus this sortie was to attack the logistics of the Huns, such a thing, the Fan Yong army was already familiar with the road, so everyone was full of confidence in this battle.

The army and the wolves left the canyon at dawn, and after more than three hours of hurrying, they had walked nearly a hundred miles, although there was no clear road on the grassland, but because there were scouts of the army along the road to receive guidance, so they did not go in the wrong direction, and they found the logistics of the Huns very smoothly.

It turned out that before the battle, Fu Gongyan considered that this battle might drag on for a long time, mainly because it was not easy to find the Bailing brigade on the grassland, so he persuaded Mao Dun to prepare a logistics team to transport grain and grass for the Xiongnu army. After the Xiongnu army discovered the whereabouts of the Bailing tribe, Mao Dun led the Xiongnu army to attack on the one hand, and also sent people back to Shan Yuting to give an order to let the logistics team set off.

The diet of the Xiongnu was based on meat and dairy products, supplemented by some grains, so there were 200,000 sheep, more than 6,000 cattle, and another part of the grain, which was escorted by 5,000 Hun soldiers. However, the Xiongnu army did not have the concept of logistical assistance, so it was very amateurish in the transportation of protection logistics assistance, not only did not send the men and horses to meet along the way, but even the army responsible for escorting did not arrange guards, reconnaissance, and patrol personnel. As a result, the Dai army approached the logistics team very lightly.

At this time, it was noon, and the Hun soldiers who were responsible for escorting them were resting and eating, and horses, cattle and sheep were grazing on the same ground at will, and some cattle and sheep had even left the brigade, but no one cared about them, so the whole team seemed to be very loose.

The soldiers were changing horses, sorting out their armor and weapons, and preparing for battle, the wolves were lying on the ground to rest, and Ah Ran Shi immediately discussed with Luo Huan and Jiang Mingxia about ways to attack the Xiongnu army.

Ah Ran Shi begged and said: "Gongzi, Miss, according to the scout report, there are more than 5,000 Xiongnu troops who are responsible for transporting them, and our Fan Yong Army is less than 1,200 people, and the difference in strength is very large, so we have to rely on the wolves led by Gongzi and Miss to hope to be killed." ”

Although Luo Huan and Jiang Mingxia are not very old, Luo Huan is Gao Yuan's adopted son, and Gao Yuan has always regarded Gao Yuan as his own, and Jiang Mingxia is Jiang Huanwu's daughter, and she is definitely Luo Huan's future wife and child, so Ah Ran Shi Qi Mo is very polite to them between words.

Luo Huan hurriedly said: "General A Ran Shi is too polite, before leaving, my father told me that this battle made me completely obey General A Ran Shi's dispatch, so if General A Ran Shi has any orders, please speak out, don't be polite." ”

Ah Ran Shi begged and said: "According to the opinion of the last general, please ask the princess to first command the wolves to attack, disturb the sheep, and disrupt the position of the Hun army, and then the last general will lead the Fan Yong army to kill, and you can defeat the Hun army in one fell swoop." ”

Luo Huan nodded and said, "I understand, according to General A Ranshi's proposal, please ask the general to prepare, and I will mobilize the wolves to attack." After finishing speaking, Luo Huan immediately came to Xiaobai's side, patted its neck, and said, "Xiaobai, I'll see you later." ”

Xiaobai rubbed Luo Huan's face with his wolf's mouth, then turned to the wolves and let out a howl.

Hearing Xiaobai's cry, the wolves who were resting on the ground immediately got up one after another, and howled in response. For a while, the wolf howled loudly, and although he knew that it was his own wolf, it still made some soldiers terrified to hear it, and some of the war horses were also frightened and screamed.

After all the wolves stood up, Xiao Bai suddenly raised his voice and let out a long wolf howl, and then turned around and rushed out of the woods, while the other wolves all followed behind Xiao Bai and rushed out of the woods together, rushing towards the resting Hun army.

Because the distance between the two sides is not far at this time, the wolf howl just now, some Hun soldiers also heard it, but it is not uncommon to hear the wolf howl on the grassland, so the Hun soldiers did not care, after all, they have a total of 5,000 people and horses, and the general wolves do not dare to attack them at all, even if they meet, they will automatically avoid, only occasionally there will be some scattered wolves sneak attack team, take away a few sheep, but never dare to confront the Hun army head-on.

But soon the Hun soldiers saw that countless wolves, numbering hundreds, were rushing in their own direction from the nearby woods, and they were not so frightened that they cried out: "There are wolves. "The wolves are coming." "Prepare for battle."

Although the speed of the wolf is not as fast as the horse, it is not slow, and when the Hun soldiers can see the wolves, there are only a few hundred steps away, and they can run in less than a minute, not to mention that the Hun soldiers are resting and eating at this time, and many people have untied the saddle bridle of the war horse, so that the war horse can graze. Seeing the wolves coming, they immediately hurriedly looked for horses, hung saddles, and tied bridles, but before they were done, the wolves had already rushed to the team, and at this time there were only a few hundred Hun soldiers who were ready, and many people simply did not look for war horses, and fought with bows and arrows.

But after the wolves broke into the team of the Huns, first of all, the sheep were in chaos, such as cattle and horses, large herbivores such as cattle and horses, to be better, and the wolves could confront it, and sometimes they could defeat a few wolves, and the sheep were not good, because the two sides were just at the upper and lower ends of the food chain, basically the portion of being eaten, so when the wolves were still far away, the sheep were restless, and the screams of "bleating" were not stopped, and after the wolves broke in, the sheep were suddenly in chaos, and hundreds of thousands of sheep were like headless flies, scurrying around.

As a result, after a while, sheep ran everywhere on the steppe. And this also brought a lot of difficulties to the Hun soldiers, although the sheep are afraid of wolves, but they are not very afraid of people, on the contrary, there are many people there to drill there, because the sheep also know, people can protect them, but this time the Hun soldiers were surrounded, and many Hun soldiers were also tripped by the sheep, some Hun soldiers raised arrows to shoot wolves, but they all hit the sheep by mistake.

After a short time, the five thousand Hun soldiers who escorted the logistics were also scattered into countless squads, some fought wolves, some caught sheep, some wolves and sheep did not distinguish, killing indiscriminately, and some were surrounded by sheep, unable to move, and soon the cattle and horses were also affected, so the cattle and sheep ran around, the war horses barked, and the Hun soldiers did not know what to do, and they were all in chaos.

At this moment, only the sound of horses' hooves was heard, and it turned out that Ah Ran Shi Qimo led the Fan Yong army out of the woods and launched an attack on the Xiongnu army.

The effect of the wolf pack attack was much better than Ah Ran Shi Qimo expected, because at this time the Xiongnu army was already in chaos, so Ah Ran Shi Qimo immediately dispersed the Fan Yong army into a hundred cavalry units and attacked the Hun army separately, while he and Luo Huan and Jiang Mingxia led three hundred cavalry teams to respond to the whole scene.

Although the number of the Xiongnu army was large, it was a great chaos in the whole army at this time, and the Hun soldiers on the war horses were less than 1,000 people, so it was impossible to organize effective resistance.
