"Is this Shan Yu Wang's court?"

Peng Yue sat on the horse, looked west from the high slope, looked at the camp tent in the distance, and said indifferently.

Behind him were the three thousand ghost prison riders under the jurisdiction of Ying Ziyi.

The continuous steep slope that rises in vain can well conceal their own vision, and Maodun, as a Xiongnu with top military ability, was not without considering the situation of the enemy attack when he established the royal court.

Therefore, he divided a large part of his cavalry troops as patrol troops to guard the eastern part of the royal court.

It's just that as Mao Dun went south to recover the people of the three Xiongnu surnames, a large number of elite troops in the royal court also went south.

The rest, under the assault of the ghost hell riders, are now corpses scattered on this slope.

"General Peng Yue, it seems that they haven't found any trace of us yet." Sima of the army behind Peng Yue said.

Peng Yue's eyes were full of cold light, and although his face was rude, his actions were unusually delicate.

The armor on the ghost riders is generally light armor, and the grain and grass on the horses are also at a low level.

In order to deal with the Xiongnu, Ying Ziyi deliberately converted his cavalry units in the clouds into light cavalry, in addition to the horse bows, crossbows, arrows, and long knives necessary for marching battles, only with the necessary medicines, salt and oil for maintaining the bow and sword.

If such a force wants to continue fighting on the steppe for a long time, it must rely on enemy supplies as a supplement. This kind of combat method is an extremely important test for the generals.

There are many kinds of famous generals in this world, some are good at attacking, and some are good at defending. Of course, there are generals who are both offensive and defensive, but this is very rare. Generals often have different styles and different ways of fighting.

There are many famous generals active in this era, and some of them are rare celebrities, even in the long river of time, they are also rare. But there is also a difference between a rare and famous general.

For example, Li Mu, the military god of Zhao in the past, once defeated hundreds of thousands of Hu troops in the land of Yanmen, and beat the northern Hu who did not dare to go south to herd horses for more than ten years.

For example, Wang Qian, in the battle of Qin's annihilation of the Six Kingdoms, Wang Jian was the first merit, and in ten years, he helped Emperor Qin dominate the world and was unstoppable.

Such rare and famous generals have one characteristic, that is, the more soldiers they have, the more powerful they will be.

Of course, this is not to say that they are not good at directing small-scale operations.

The mixed combat of multiple arms of the infantry and archery, and the large-scale battle of tens of thousands of people at every turn, is not something that any general can easily control, let alone attack the city and conquer the country.

And peerless famous generals like Li Mu and Wang Jian can turn mountains and rivers into sharp weapons against the enemy in their hands, and the enemy has often entered the net they have arranged, but they still don't know it. By the time the enemy notices it, it's already time for them to close the net.

And the other is like Huo Qubing in later generations, with only 800 cavalry, he came and went on the grassland, breaking countless enemies.

You must know that on the grassland, not only the people and horses on their own side are moving, but the Hu people are also constantly moving. Under such circumstances, being able to accurately capture fighters, search for enemy troops, and annihilate them in a roundabout way is not something that ordinary generals can do.

And Peng Yue is such a general, proficient in sports warfare.

The three thousand ghost prison riders quietly waited for Peng Yue's order, the war horse snorted, and as Peng Yue raised his hand, the knights drew out the ring head long knife hanging on the saddle.

The sharp blade flashed with cold light, and the clear and translucent back of the knife was as clean as snow, but the blood stained in it, and the murderous aura and majesty it exuded, were enough to make people who had never been on the battlefield shudder and tremble.

Since the establishment of the Ghost Hell Ghost Cavalry, with Yingziyi traveling north and south, he has established countless achievements. But this feats of war were achieved with the blood and dry bones of countless people of different races.

Soldiers who have been on the battlefield and those who have not been on the battlefield, generals with a little experience, can be distinguished from their appearance alone. Among them, veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time are the existence that every general who knows about military affairs cherishes and relies on. Those veterans are often used as the reserve for the finale, and are the key to changing the situation on the battlefield. On the battlefield, they have developed the instinct to fight, and they have a skillful and refined way of fighting. They were able to quickly understand the intention of their generals to march in formation, and more effectively implement the plan of the summit.

Every soldier of the Ghost Hell Rider can be said to be such a veteran. But there is a difference, this force is a professional military force, completely detached from production, a complete killing machine.

Every soldier of the Hell Rider is a madman who takes pleasure in marching and fighting. For them, the normal life is too ordinary, except for following the instinct to reproduce, the rest of their lives, there is only killing on the battlefield.

Kill for a living, grow in killing, and perish in killing.

A soldier like this, often also not significant. But if all the soldiers of an army are like this, it is quite terrifying.

Among the Hu, Qiang and other ethnic groups in the Western Regions, this unit of Yingziyi is called the ominous soldier. These tribes of the Hu and Qiang people often have not seen the ghost prison phantom riders, but they have just heard their horns, so they lead their troops to avoid and dare not confront them head-on.

Peng Yue's arm waved down slightly, and the three thousand ghost prison phantom horses roared, pulled up the reins of the horse, and rushed forward.

It was a massacre.

The tide of black horsemen rushed into the camp on the green grassland, brandishing the ring-headed long knife and reaping the lives one by one.

In the royal court alone, there were very few young men who could fight, and the only ones left were old and weak women and children.

Peng Yue rushed into Shan Yu's court with the army. It's just that the ghost hell rider interspersed a back and forth from east to west, and actually didn't encounter decent resistance. "General, the resistance of the royal court alone is too weak?" Sima said in confusion.

"Judging from the intelligence, the Xiongnu Shan Yu's forces should not be so vulnerable. Could it be that Mao Dun is not in the court? Peng Yue muttered.

Suijun Sima's eyes lit up, "That's right, it should be like this." ”

"Grab a live mouth and ask."

"Yes, General." Sima of the army clamped his legs between the horse's belly and rushed out with two soldiers.

………

North of the Yellow River.

The Xiongnu troops were all gathered in the highland grassland south of Yangshan, between the north and south rivers.

There are many rivers here, and it is the livestock land of Huyan among the three surnames of the Xiongnu. It's just that at this moment, the Xiongnu's territory in Henan was completely lost, and the armies of the Xiongnu were concentrated on this small highland, surviving for a long time.

The offensive of the Qin army was aggressive, and the Xiongnu tribes were unwilling to fail, and the leaders of the various departments gathered every day to discuss countermeasures.

"Meng Tian's foothold is not stable, we should kill it back as soon as possible."

In the warm tent, headed by the leaders of the three tribes surnamed the Xiongnu, the leaders of many small tribes gathered together to form a noble council, which decided the affairs of the Xiongnu. The leader of the Lan tribe, an old man with a white beard and a luxurious leather coat, said.

As the old shaman of the Xiongnu said, these nobles were addicted to the fine silks, bronzes and orchids of the empire, and they were degenerate.

It's just that the increasingly swollen size does not hinder their military vision. They could see that the empire was not firmly on its footing, and that it should go south as soon as possible to regain lost territory.

Autumn and winter were the weakest seasons for the Huns, but the imperial army was different, and after several years of preparation, the combat power was sharp.

It's just that winter is approaching now, and the cold weather is the biggest enemy of the Qin army.

With a long roar, an alarm sounded outside the tent, and a Hun soldier rushed into the tent and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, our patrolling warriors have found that a small group of cavalry of the Qin army has crossed the river and haunted the young wolf unit. ”

"These Qin people are too deceitful! Doyan Bakat! The leader of the Huyan clan summoned his two most courageous sons from the crowd and commanded, "Go and bring back the heads of the bravest soldiers of our tribe." ”

A muscular man walked out of the crowd, and Duoyan Boba said, "Father, the terrain near the Young Wolf Valley is complicated, and the Qin army only has a small number of men, how dare you come?" It's a great way to lure the enemy! ”

The leader of the Huyan clan had a bad face, and his son disobeyed him in front of a crowd, which made him feel very shameless. This son was born to a lowly slave during a drunken sexual intercourse, and the leader of the Huyan clan has never liked him very much.

It's just that because of Duoyan Boba's use of force, the leader of the Huyan clan took him with him.

The leader of the Huyan clan was about to get angry, but he heard another long roar outside the tent, and another Xiongnu soldier hurriedly walked in.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Qin army has been repulsed."

"What's going on?" Someone asked.

"It's Shan Yu, he led his troops to break the Qin army's ambush army in the Young Wolf Valley from the east, and killed the Qin army's cavalry."

The news of the front and back feet had already confirmed Doyenbobal's fears. It's just that at this moment, the face of the leader of the Huyan clan is even more unsightly.

Maudun, what are you doing here at this time?

"Don't get out of here, shame on you." The leader of the Huyan clan was helpless, and the anger in his heart could only be radiated to his son.

Duo Yan Boba's face froze and he retreated.

In any case, Mao Dun was the single Yu of the Huns. They still have to give the necessary respect.

The leaders of the three surnames of the Xiongnu walked out of the camp with the men and horses of the large and small tribes, preparing for the ceremony.

Soon, a large group of people appeared in everyone's field of vision.

A young king, surrounded by his own heroic soldiers, walked in front of a group of Xiongnu tribal leaders.

Different from the demoralization of his own soldiers, the vigor is the most intuitive feeling of the leaders of the three Xiongnu surnames when they see Mao Dun and his soldiers.

"The Qin army is rampant, and my Great Huns are in a difficult situation, and we are about to invite Shan Yu to discuss the retreat of the enemy."

The leader of the Lan clan said.

Of course, this is just a scene. If it weren't for Mao Dun's uninvited arrival, they wouldn't have remembered this distant Shan Yu.

"I also happen to have a plan, and I want to plan with you." Mao Dun smiled, and walked into the camp with his soldiers.

In the tent, Mao Dun was in the main position, the three chiefs sat on either side, and the rest of the nobles stood or sit, crowding this narrow space.

"Shan Yu, we are just discussing gathering troops and horses, taking advantage of the unstable foothold of the Qin army, and regaining our land. I don't know what the strategy I just said? The leader of the Huyan clan said.

"Withdraw! All the Xiongnu troops withdrew from the land. ”

As soon as Mao Dun's words fell, a shouting and discussion sounded in the tent.

The three leaders of the Xiongnu had a smile on their faces.

This young Shan Yu seems to only have courage, and he really doesn't understand anything on the march, and he actually wants to withdraw the army timidly?

"Shan Yu, at this moment, Meng Tian is deploying defenses along the river, setting up camps, and setting up defense lines. But it will take a lot of time, and if we don't take advantage of this gap to attack back, we won't have a chance in the future. The leader of the Bu clan said, his tone as if a teacher was educating a student.

"No, it's just an illusion!" Maudun said firmly.

"What?"

"The Qin army is not preparing a defensive line along the river at the moment, but preparing to cross the river in the spring of next year."

"Why do you say that?" Huyan asked.

"Meng Tian is a rare famous general in the Qin State, at this moment the morale of the Qin army is like a rainbow, how could he stop at the south of the Great River and give up this highland of important military significance?"

"But in this case, it can't be concluded that Meng Tian is cheating?" Huyan asked again.

"Where is the most annoying thing about the Qin people?"

"The Great Wall, of course! These southerners huddled behind the city walls, and once our troops approached, they knew about it for a hundred miles. Even if we wipe out the defenders on the Wall, they will be able to mobilize their forces very quickly. ”

"That's right, there are a lot of infantry and chariots in the army of the Qin people, and the mobility of these troops is not strong, so I can't be like our Great Huns, traveling thousands of miles, coming and going like the wind. That's why they built the Great Wall. If the Qin army does not attack it, can the Great Wall be built along the river? Mao asked rhetorically, and most of the people present fell silent.

"But in this case, my Great Huns don't have to retreat. Could it be that our Xiongnu warriors will still be afraid of those Qin people? The leader of the Lan clan said.

"No, if we stay here, we're going to fail. In the battle in the land of Henan, we have lost a large number of warriors. In the event of a counter-attack, troops would have to be drawn from the north of the Great Wall, which would take a lot of time. By that time, Meng Tian's Qin army had already attacked. Rather than this, we should take advantage of the early withdrawal to Monan. ”

"But in this case, isn't it following the wishes of the Qin army?" Someone asked rhetorically.

"We retreat on our own initiative and can retain a lot of strength. The Qin army wants to build the Great Wall, and then we can take the opportunity to go south and hinder them. What's more, the real weakness of the Qin army is not here. ”

"Where is the Qin army's weakness?"

"That's right, the real weakness of the Qin army lies in the prince of Qin in the land of clouds!" Mao Dun's eyes flashed and he said. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
