For the Han army, the longer the war dragged on, the better.

But for the Huns, it was the opposite.

The characteristics of the nation have led them to fight a quick battle, and once it drags on for a long time, they will not be able to fight the battle themselves.

"Prince, what now?"

In the face of today's situation, there is more than one person who has a headache.

The porridge is also a headache.

The purpose of this battle is to consume the elderly people in Donghu, so the people sent out in front are all slightly older.

If it was just to achieve the goal, the kind that could naturally order a strong attack, regardless of casualties.

When those elderly Donghu people are almost dead, he can Mingjin collect his troops and go home.

While that would have served the goal, it would have brought disaster to him.

On the next trip to the south, I didn't kill a few enemies, I didn't grab anything, and I sent tens of thousands of heads to people for no reason and came back?

If that's the case, let alone fuse the Donghu people, his father won't let him go after he goes back.

"How do I know what to do?" Angry and angry, he shook his fist into the air.

It's not just that he can't help it, any Hun can't have a way.

Nomads have a natural disadvantage for siege warfare.

They didn't even click on the tech tree about it.

Throughout the ages, there has never been a precedent for nomads to capture a city under such a formation.

Even if it does, it will be difficult to achieve complete victory.

Street fighting in the city is also what they are not good at.

Therefore, in the past, most of the nomads went south for the purpose of burning and looting, killing or plundering people when they saw them, and then they set fires, and immediately turned to war or retreated.

Storms, street battles, and nomads are all directly bypassed.

But now, he can't help it......

"The general surnamed Wang on the other side has rich combat experience and is extremely experienced in controlling the battlefield, so it is difficult for me to take advantage of him in his hands." Said the porridge.

That's what he said in front of his own henchmen, and the previous battles proved it.

"Why don't we change places?"

"Where? The Han people are obviously prepared! He shook his head.

After entering the Han realm for hundreds of miles, I saw countless villages, but I didn't see anyone.

Doesn't that prove anything?

The situation must be similar to what it is now.

"There will be more and more Han troops in the future, and if they drag here for a long time, we are afraid that we will be surrounded by them! And at that time, there will not be enough space for us to maneuver, and the advantage of the cavalry will be gone, and the Han army will be able to treat us in the way that they are most comfortable with! The porridge continued.

This is predictable, since the Han people have all been fortified and cleared, it means that they have long expected that they will go south.

And since they really went south, will the Han army in Yuyang City not tell the Han army in other places?

Did the Han Dynasty really prepare so many troops?

Therefore, Yuyang's task is to drag them here, and then the Han army from other places will come and surround them, and finally encircle them.

"Retreat! Withdraw early tomorrow morning and withdraw to the border steppe! The porridge said directly.

"Prince, just withdraw like this, I'm afraid I can't explain to Da Danyu......"

"To fight a war with the Han people, you still need to use your brains more, what if you don't withdraw now? What if we are surrounded by them? There is no pasture in the Han Kingdom, what do cattle, sheep and horses eat? Their crops and seedlings are just beginning to sprout, and there is not enough to eat, and if they drag on for ten days and half a month, the war horses will continue to lose fat, and the cattle and sheep will starve to death. His face was still full of confidence.

"Then how does the prince complete Da Danyu's explanation?"

"Huh!" He laughed loudly and said: "I don't believe that the Han people can cower in the city for a year and not come out, and if they have the ability, they will wait until winter directly." ”

The servant's eyes lit up and he said in surprise: "The prince wants to ??? ”

"That's right! That's right! We are waiting at the border, where there is pasture for us to survive, and when the Han people come home, we will go south to see what he does! ”

Now the north has just grown buds, and the Xiongnu can't afford to drag it here, plus the effect of clearing the wilderness, so even if it is farmland, there is not much cultivation in fact.

Almost at the busiest time, Wang Li gave the order to clear the wilderness, and those people who had not finished farming had to put down their farming tools and leave their hometowns with their families and food.

It's not too late to farm now, but if it drags on for another half a month and a month, it will be completely scrapped this year.

He is a man who likes to use his brain, and while force is supreme, he also wants to play something different.

And the biggest advantage of this is that you can ensure that you get more benefits on the premise of avoiding more losses.

In history, it was by virtue of this set of techniques that the Xiongnu were successfully brought to the strong, and even the peak.

During his reign, the Xiongnu were harmonious and stable, unprecedentedly united, and their strength was also the strongest.

Later, during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the territory of the Xiongnu was basically opened up by the Jiaoji porridge.

This man is the king of the steppe, not only has brains, but also knows how to dog.

If the king is not hungry, he will not be left behind.

……

Yuyang.

When the news of the retreat of the Huns was heard, the whole city was happy and excited.

Although the city is safe, he is not having a good time.

It's even tough.

In fact, the number of people who can leave the city is not very large, and most people still choose to live here.

And this leads to a different situation.

All the houses in the city, even the shops and so on, opened their doors to allow the people who came in from outside the city to live for a while.

The situation of a family crammed into one room is already good.

I don't see two or three families, one or two dozen people crammed into one room.

At this time, more than 60% of the houses in Yuyang City could not lie flat when sleeping at night.

One or twenty people sat on the ground and leaned against the wall, supporting each other and sleeping like this, and the middle ones slept back to back.

There is nothing they can do otherwise, the night outside is still a little cold, and they can only rely on the limited houses they have now to get below the cold night.

The air inside the house was cloudy and smelly.

Even the whole city is not much better, and the feces and other things can't be transported out in time, so they can only be put in one place, not to mention the smell.

Open defecation has become a common occurrence here.

What is not ashamed, the city is full of people, and the main streets must be vacated for the deployment of troops.

I can't find a place where I can protect my privacy and solve my physiological needs.

It's not like there is no place to go to the toilet in the city, but there are too many people to use it at all.

Although there is no shortage of food, in such a living environment, it still has a huge impact on people's psychology.

Now that the Huns have withdrawn, how can they not be happy?

"General, there are people everywhere in the city asking when they can let them go home!"

"Yes, General, the Huns have been gone for three days, and the scouts have come to report that they are about to cross the Great Wall, it's time to give a letter, right?"

"I can't go on like this, this city is not a place for people to stay, and if it goes on like this, I'm afraid it will cause a plague......"

Plague does not refer to a specific disease, but all that is contagious and causes a certain scale will be called a plague.

When a plague is triggered, the consequences are often devastating.

Many historical sources do not record how plagues were dealt with in ancient times.

Because the method is too cruel, medical methods cannot completely solve these problems, once you suffer from it, it basically represents GG.

Lock down the area, burn the body, and let the doctors in the area, or outside doctors who are not afraid of death, go in to help with the treatment and guidance.

It will not reopen until there are no new infections in the area, and then a few months later.

There are generally two theories about the absence of new infections.

The first is that all infected people are dead.

The second is that everyone in the area is dead, and there are no more people alive.

Wang Li frowned deeply.

Of course, he knew that the current Yuyang did have the possibility of an outbreak of plague.

The city is so crowded that even on the best ventilated city walls, you can smell bursts of stench, all kinds of smells.

"You can go out of the city, but you can't go north, if you want to go out of the city, you can only go in the two directions of Beiping and Guangyang County!" After thinking about it for a long time, Wang Li still decided.

If you don't do that, you won't be able to, and if you cause a plague, what will be the consequences?

Although Yuyang is not small, in front of more than 400,000 people and 130,000 troops, a total of more than 500,000 people, Yuyang is a small city.

He can't fit so many people at all, too much food will support death, too many cars will collapse, too many people will enter the city, and there will be problems.

"General, there's no need to be so careful, right?" Yingbu was a little puzzled, it was better not to go to the south, the people were farther away from home.

The people in Yuyang City were originally the people in the north of Yuyang County, and the people in the south were either in the county seat, or they had already gone to Youbeiping and Guangyang County.

"The Huns are not as simple as you think, General Ben has a hunch, they will definitely come back!" Wang Li said directly.

Although he has no evidence, what evidence does he need to march to fight?

When you don't have enough intelligence, you have a hunch and deployment, and you are a famous general, if your command ability is not enough, you can also become a general's guest with these two points, it's as simple as that.

"If the general is worried, why not let the people return to their hometowns and use them to lure the Xiongnu out?" Fan Hao said, luring the snake out of the hole, Wang Li has learned the tricks he has used......

Wang Li glanced at Fan Xu lightly, and said disdainfully: "Do you want to test whether Your Majesty's knife can still cut people?" ”
