Chapter 397: I'm Nima, Still Coming?

And while the Huns were still waiting for news from their scouts.

Behind them.

The 100,000 Han cavalry was gradually increasing their speed.

After several days of traveling, many people felt tired.

But because of the first time they entered the grassland, many things were unknown to them.

Therefore, every day's itinerary must be dealt with with great energy.

"General, we found a large amount of livestock manure a hundred miles to the north, and they said it should be twenty days!"

Soon, the baby also received information about the Huns.

Guan Ying nodded, turned his head to look at Han Xindao: "We have been moving east along the Great Wall, they shouldn't be too close to the Great Wall, and now the troops are almost adapted, let's go north!" ”

"Well, actually, I think it can be bolder to go north!" Han Xin nodded.

"Huh?" The baby frowned slightly.

"General, if the Huns are on guard, the scouts in the west and south must be the most dense, and the north and east may not, if you want to catch them off guard this time, it must be the most suitable to go around to the north and go south." Han Xin said.

It's just a basic means of operation.

It's also a very regular mode of operation.

The Huns fought from the west and advanced to the east, and the Huns knew that there were 100,000 Han troops in Yunzhong County, so how could they not pay attention to the situation in the west?

And the south is not far from the border of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, if the Han army sends troops, the most likely places to appear are to the west and south.

Therefore, the Xiongnu were either not prepared at all, which was the premise that they thought that the Han army would not send troops at all.

Either focus on the west and south, because there are no Han Chinese in the north.

Playing like this, it is naturally the highest return.

The Huns discovered them every night and one day, and the Han army's chances of victory were higher.

But Guan Ying still frowned deeply, and then shook his head and rejected Han Xin's suggestion.

"You can go north appropriately, but you must not be too aggressive."

Of course, the baby is to cultivate Han Xin, so even if he refuses, it will not be like Mao Dunshan Yu, what I say is what I say, no one can object, and I will not explain so much to you.

"This is the first time that the Han army has gone deep into the grassland, although it has now adapted to some of it, but after all, it is still too close to the Han, what is the depth of the desert, and I dare not take risks now."

"Again, this time the Huns launched a surprise attack in advance, if nothing else, Donghu should be caught off guard, if the Huns go straight to the royal court, Donghu may be gone in this battle, and then it is time for the Huns to close the endgame."

"Going north will inevitably go around a big circle, and ten days and half a month may not be able to finish, in case the Huns have finished cleaning up the mess during this time, our situation will be even more difficult."

"And don't forget, last year you taught the Huns a hard lesson in the clouds."

"Before you, it was the Donghu people, and now the Huns are attacking the Donghu people."

"After defeating the Donghu people, in order to enhance their strength, the Xiongnu will consume a group of old and young, and it is naturally inappropriate to kill them directly."

"It just so happens that we had a feud last year, and Your Majesty is worried that the Huns will consume this group of people in Dahan."

"And now the Great Wall has not been completed, and there are still many gaps, once the Xiongnu send a large army south, they can follow these gaps directly into the Han Dynasty."

"Your Majesty is unwilling to make a big move, so the reform of the military department can only be completed in five years, that is to say, the current border troops, only two percent of the full state, if the Huns go south, they can't stop it at all."

"If we go too far north at this time, it is possible to delay for a month, and for the cavalry, one month is enough for them to hit the big river......"

Listening to the explanation of the baby, Han Xin also felt that he seemed to be thinking too simply.

"General, my subordinates have taken the liberty ......"

"It's okay!" Guan Ying smiled and waved his hand, and said: "From the aspect of marching operations alone, you are not wrong to consider, but this battle cannot only be considered from the perspective of marching operations, you are not very clear about some of the overall situation, so you can't make a comprehensive judgment, and when you do a review after this battle, you will understand!" ”

Han Shin had been training troops on the border, and although he knew that the Great Wall was not completed, he did not know how big the gap was.

I don't know how many troops there are.

This is a hard wound that cannot be changed in this era.

It's like the current baby also doesn't know that Wang Buyu asked Wang Li to go north with all the 130,000 recruits this year, just to be able to make some measures to deal with it.

If the Xiongnu do not go south, it is naturally the best.

But once they went south, the Han army could not be completely powerless to fight back.

Based on this consideration, the 100,000 people cannot leave the border too far.

In case when they arrived at the place, the Huns had already finished fighting and went south.

They were going to turn around and go south at once to chase the Huns who were going south.

They must not be allowed to kill wantonly on the territory of the Han Dynasty.

But they can go north appropriately.

Because the main battlefield of the Xiongnu and Donghu will definitely not be so close to the border.

And this has already seen the results from previous investigations.

Closer to the border, although some traces of livestock were seen, they all moved in a northeasterly direction.

And there aren't many of them.

In addition, the grassland peoples also prefer to be closer to the border during the winter.

Compared to the depths of the desert, the temperature here is slightly warmer.

But in fact, there is no big use for the eggs, and the surroundings are bare, without any shelter.

For winter, they can only rely on tents, as well as a pitiful fire.

So every winter, many people freeze to death.

The Han army began to move in a northeasterly direction, which was equivalent to taking an oblique line, which could move northward while also ensuring eastward movement.

Over the next few days, Han scouts found more and more traces of livestock.

Footprints, feces.

After the observation and judgment of the Yueshi people, they were getting closer and closer to the logistics forces of the Huns.

I have to admit that it has been a month since the Han army came out of the fortress.

None of the big or small battles took place, but I still learned a lot about the grassland.

In particular, judging how long the enemy has been passing through this place based on the dryness of the traces and dung, and thus where and how far away they are.

Without the help of these Yue people, it would be far from possible to do this with the knowledge reserves of the Han army.

It may be possible in the future, but not now, there is no doubt about it.

Ten days later......

The temperature is gradually rising, and green shoots are gradually growing on the ground near the south.

The whole prairie is green, and with the unique landform and scenery here, it gives people a very special feeling.

If it weren't for the war, it would have been tempting here.

The Han army found a camp, which was occupied by the Huns?

Or are you from Donghu?

It doesn't matter if he is a Donghu or a Xiongnu, he is the enemy of the Han Dynasty.

Guan Ying and Han Xin stood on a high slope and looked at the camp in the distance.

I couldn't help frowning.

"No horses? Looking at the number of tents, there should be four or five thousand people, but there are obviously not so many people in this camp, and what can be seen is almost either old or young, and there are women who ...... "The baby is a little puzzled, this is not normal."

According to the Yueshi people, the logistics of the grassland people fighting with the war is basically a family, where the battlefield is, where the home is.

Their formation is basically the front-line troops, the baggage logistics team at a position of about fifty miles, these are composed of men, and the next fifty miles are their families.

But even if it's a family member, it's impossible not to give a horse, right?

"General, look there!" Han Xin pointed to the distance and said.

Guan Ying looked in the direction of Han Xin's finger, which was a little hidden and not easy to find, and the target was also very small.

"Grave bag?" Guan Ying was stunned, this is still relatively easy to distinguish, but he just didn't notice the grave bag in the distance before.

"According to the Yueshi people, this should almost be Donghu's territory, could that tribe be Donghu people? They were attacked by the Huns earlier? Han Xin said.

"Possibly!" Guan Ying nodded and said, "Send a thousand people...... Three thousand, send three thousand to attack! ”

It's not that he is timid, but it's the first time he has done this kind of thing, and everything in front of him feels strange, so he has to be cautious.

Besides, even if 3,000 people are dispatched, it is not a big deal, if it is a false alarm, it is naturally the best.

If the enemy has an ambush, with 3,000 men, it can easily support the arrival of the army.

While the two sent men to attack, they found Bayard and Batu to hear their opinions.

After observing the following scene, Bayar smiled: "The general is too worried, now you send two hundred people down, and you can directly accept them." ”

"Yes, this is obviously the one who was beaten by the Huns, the young men and the men who could come in handy were called away, and all the horses were taken away, leaving these cattle and sheep behind, perhaps to appease the hearts of the people, so that these people would not starve to death, but they would not be able to run ......far," Batu explained.

This is a common routine used by grassland people, and it is a self-destructive routine.

In that case, there will be no supplies left for them.

But if it is to win them over, they will still leave some supplies for their families, at least not to starve to death, but the horses will never be left, so they will run.

The Xiongnu did not have many troops, so naturally they would not divide their troops to see these old and young women and children, and the best way was to do so.

But the baby was decided to be more cautious.

And the Han soldiers who did this for the first time on the grassland were also very cautious.

The three thousand people hurriedly sorted out their armor, checked their weapons, and selected the main war horse that had been recuperating.

Then, at the sound of an order, the three thousand cavalry charged directly towards the camp, which was full of old and young women and children.

And at this moment, the Donghu people in the camp have not even had time to send away the grief, the death of their relatives, and the Huns have been pulled to the front line.

A middle-aged man who was injured in the war before, looked at the sky without love, his life is a waste, and he can only eat and wait for death in the future, maybe this winter will be completely cold.

There was a sudden violent vibration from the earth, and the middle-aged man was stunned, and then looked in the direction where the sound came from.

"I'm Nima, I'm still coming ???"
