"Because the logistical supplies required by 10,000 cavalry are also terrifying, the Turks are often accustomed to bringing dry food when marching, but the dry food they can carry can last for 7-10 days at most, and if it is longer, they are often supplied through neighboring tribes or enemies."

"Although our front is scattered, our territory is not very large, so if these Turks want to fight, they can only be supplied through the tribes along the way, but unless these tribes kill all the cattle and sheep, it is not enough to replenish the logistics of 10,000 people."

"Overall, I don't think there will be so few people in the other party, five thousand to seven thousand is relatively appropriate, and once they set off, they will probably come straight to us." Since Lu Yanzhen spoke, he directly finished his opinion.

"Yang Lao Wu, do you know the location of the tribe of Tongluo?" Huo Gang pondered for a moment and asked.

"Yes. Just to the west of us, to the east of the country of Loulan, there is a sea of peacocks between them and the country of Loulan. Yang Lao Wu said very simply.

Huo Gang nodded, he probably understood, the Peacock Sea was the later Lop Nur, but the current Lop Nur has not dried up, if it is in this position, it is not very far from them, if you are riding a horse and simply hurrying, it will take about seven or eight days to arrive.

"In that case, let's take the initiative!" Huo Gang pondered for a moment and made a decisive decision.

"Take the initiative?" Anno and Yang Lao Wu are all a little dumbfounded.

"But, General, we don't have many troops in our hands." Guo Ming couldn't help but speak.

"Officially, because there are not many troops, we have to take the initiative." Huo Gang said seriously, "What we are really strong is that we have a thousand elite archers in our hands, and if these thousand elite archers are used well, we are not afraid of the enemy even if there are 10,000 cavalry." ”

"But there is a premise, that is, we must have enough strategic depth, so we take the initiative to deter the enemy more." Huo Gang looked at everyone calmly.

Guo Ming and Lu Yanzhen looked at each other, then hesitated for a moment, Guo Ming continued to speak: "However, if that is the case, our territory will not have the slightest defense, which means that if the enemy drives straight in, General, your attempt to interfere with the enemy's strategy will fail." ”

"No, that's the only way to be considered a success." Huo Gang said lightly.

"General, what do you mean by that?" Guo Ming arched his hand seriously.

"Quite simply, what do we claim to be to the outside world? Those who offend my Han Tianwei will be punished even if they are far away. Huo Gang himself repeated, "Now everyone knows that if they dare to kill one of us, I will dare to slaughter their tribe." ”

"I ask you, in such a situation, when you are faced with such an enemy, and have proven that your enemy does what he says, will you destroy his hometown without destroying the main force of your enemy?" Huo Gang asked with a smile.

Guo Ming pondered for a moment, and then thought about it carefully, if he really faced such an enemy, he would have to take the risk that Huo Gang said if he didn't catch the enemy's main force...... Whether he will directly attack the enemy's lair or not, this is really unknown.

"Don't forget, we all know that I, Huo Gang, care a lot about you ordinary people, but in the eyes of the outside world, they don't think I care much about you ordinary people, when you people are eliminated, do you think I only have elite soldiers and strong generals, and without any drag, how many Turkic tribes can I slaughter?" Huo Gang asked rhetorically.

Hearing this, Guo Ming and Lu Yanzhen instantly understood something, and after thinking about it carefully, it was really like this.

For people in this era, having a soldier means not worrying about food and clothing, and it is a big deal to rob it, just like a Montenegrin thief.

And whether it was Ashye or other Turkic nobles in the Tongluo Division, when they faced the low-level herdsmen, they actually didn't care about the lives of the low-level herdsmen at all, and they thought that Huo Gang would not care about the lives of more than a thousand civilians.

Because if Huo Gang had these elite soldiers, to put it mildly, on the grassland, he could grab thousands of herdsmen back with a casual grab.

The herdsmen on the grassland have long been accustomed to submitting to the strong, and they will not resist at all, unless there is a stronger person to defeat their master, they will once again submit to the stronger person, this is the ecology of the grassland.

From Ashye's point of view, if he killed Huo Gang's more than 1,000 people, he would not have any effect at all, but would face endless harassment and slaughter of Huo Gang, who had lost all his restraints!

How many tribes can more than a thousand elite cavalry slaughter in the steppe? Unless all the tribes are large tribes like Tongluobu, no tribe can withstand it.

"The subordinates understand that if this is the case, there is only one choice for the Turks, and that is to find the general's main force for a decisive battle, even if it is to destroy the general's tribe, it is also in the case of destroying the general's main force."

"In this way, it will be safer for us for the general to lead the army out, because if the general's soldiers are trapped in the camp, it will bind our maximum combat effectiveness." Guo Ming said seriously.

"Yes, that's why I chose to take the initiative, although I am a peace-loving person, it does not mean that I will only be beaten passively! The hungry wolf has arrived at my doorstep, and I can't wait for it to bite me before resisting, of course, I have to beat it to death with a stick when it shows malice. Huo Gang nodded.

"Yes! General, subordinates understood. "Anno, all of them were holding their fists almost at the same time.

"Gongsun Lin." Huo Gang nodded and spoke.

"The end will be."

"After the sortie, remember sixteen words for the task of your archers." Huo Gang looked at Gongsun Lin and said.

"General, please." Gongsun Lin said respectfully.

"The enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and I disturb, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase." Huo Gang said the famous sixteen-character policy in later generations. Although it is the core idea of guerrilla warfare, these sixteen words are simply too suitable for the archers, especially for these elite archers led by Gongsun Lin.

After listening to Annuo, Guo Ming, and Lu Yanzhen next to them, they were stunned for a moment, and then a bright light flashed in their eyes.

Lu Yanzhen arched his hand with some excitement at the moment: "The general is really a military wizard, although this sentence is only sixteen words, but it expresses the essence of harassment and war, and you can publish a single book of war." ”
