Chapter 400: The Huns are coming

For baby filling, there is no choice.

The emperor asked him to divide the troops, so naturally there was a reason for dividing the troops.

But no anomalies were found during the march, and the Huns had already moved.

How floating the nomads are at war, this time they have all seen.

After more than a month of leaving the fortress and fighting thousands of miles, they were stunned that they did not encounter a single Huns, not even old and young women and children.

Interspersed at will throughout the territory of the Xiongnu, you will not meet people, but you will only see people in the territory of Donghu.

So at that time there was no point in dividing the troops, but now, it is necessary to divide the troops.

"You take 30,000 cavalry, look for the Huns on the grassland, the bigger the movement is made, the better, if you can fight, you can fight, if you can't fight, you can run, I will take the rest of the people to rush south and rush to the border!" Irrigation baby said directly.

"No!" Han Xin responded.

Thirty thousand is not a small number, and the goal is simply to create noise.

After the baby was finished, Han Xin knew what he should do and what his purpose was.

Attract the main force of the Huns and hold them off from going south.

In the south, the cavalry composed of 100,000 Xiongnu and Donghu troops was marched, and the ratio of troops was not clear.

But if you want to catch up with these 100,000 people, it is still difficult, and if you only go to 50,000 people, it will be even more difficult.

But 100,000 people can't all go, so the Huns in the north can go south to support at any time.

"Let's hope the border can withstand some time......"

The two did not hesitate, and immediately divided the troops and livestock, Guan Ying took a large number of livestock and women to the south, while Han Xin only brought a small amount of supplies to look for fighters around.

For Han Xin, bringing too much is useless, but will delay their ability to maneuver.

Anyway, this is the grassland, and then he doesn't have to rob the woman anymore, he will kill the Huns when he encounters them, and if there is no rations, just find a tribe to grab it.

After dividing the troops, Han Xin immediately asked people to go around to find the Donghu tribe.

The hands and feet of the Huns were not clean, and after taking one tribe, they only took away the young and strong, and took away a large number of livestock and war horses, while the others were left in place.

Han Xin ordered people to find guides among the remaining people, and each tribe had to bring a few people over.

The purpose was naturally to guide the surrounding tribes of the Donghu people.

I don't know if I'm far away, but I should always know where my neighbors are, right?

And find a few more people, put them in different positions, and compare the news to know whether it is true or false.

And Guan Ying led 70,000 cavalry to the south quickly, and he didn't even care about the baggage team behind.

Each soldier only carried five days of dry food and dried meat, and five days was almost enough time for them to run to the Great Wall.

……

Yuyang County!

Wang Li used this place as his headquarters for the time being.

130,000 recruits, plus the defenders of the five counties of the Northlands, there were almost 200,000 men.

But the defenders also need to defend the city.

If the Huns were to go south, these cities would also be very important.

Therefore, although Wang Li nominally commanded 200,000 people, he was actually still 130,000 people.

The recruits from the north had already gathered in Yuyang County, numbering more than 60,000 people, and some from other places had also come scattered, and now Wang Li had more than 80,000 under his command.

The remaining 50,000 people will arrive one after another in the next half month.

In Wang Li's view, this army is a ragtag army.

Although it was formed according to the rules of the Han army after the adaptation.

However, it did not go through the systematic training of the Han army, and all new recruits were recruited, and officers were directly recruited from the previously disbanded units.

This army also has combat effectiveness, but it is far inferior to the one in the hands of Han Xin and Guan Ying.

Of course, it may even be inferior to the Qin army.

Under this premise, Wang Li wants to defend such a large area, and the pressure can be imagined.

Therefore, Wang Li decided to abandon the defense of the Great Wall on the border.

Anyway, there are so many gaps, and I can't hold it.

I just don't keep it.

Directly move all the people north of Yuyang to the south, or move into the city, and the outside of the city is clear and clear, leaving nothing for the Huns.

It is unknown whether the Xiongnu will go south, but Wang Li must be prepared for the Xiongnu to go south.

Therefore, he wanted to tell the emperor about the plan to move the people south when he was in Luoyang.

The reason for this is actually to tell the emperor that this year's Yuyang County may not have a harvest, so if the imperial court asks me to go, I need to prepare relief food in advance, otherwise there will be problems at that time.

"General, the Huns went south, almost 100,000 people ......"

Just when Wang Li was still thinking, a hurried figure suddenly entered outside the door and said directly.

"Sure enough......" Wang Li nodded.

He was not surprised whether the Huns came or not.

Because when he accepted the appointment of the imperial court, he was ready for the Huns to come.

"Send scouts, continue to investigate, and at the same time lead the Huns to Yuyang County!" Wang Li commanded softly.

"No!"

Yuyang County is the battlefield he has prepared.

There is no way around it, the soldiers are not the most elite.

Even if Wang Li had already ordered to step up training and preparation, the time was still too short, and the effect was not great.

In a simple field battle and a lack of cooperation, it was difficult for the Han army to exert its maximum combat effectiveness.

Therefore, it can only rely on the city and cooperate with the infantry to defend.

There is no shortage of food for the time being.

This month, Wang Li has already transferred all the grain around him, which is enough for his 130,000 army to eat until autumn.

"Command all departments, go out of the city and prepare for war!" Immediately afterward, Wang Li ordered again.

"Send someone south, urge those soldiers who are still on the way, let them speed up!"

"Tell the people in the city that a big war is about to start, if you have any doubts, you must go out of the city before sunset today, otherwise you will stay in the city and not be allowed to go out, and those who violate the order will be punished!"

"Order all counties, clear the wilderness, and strictly guard against it!"

One order after another was given.

Under Wang Li's scheduling, Yuyang was instantly busy, but he was not flustered at all.

Each has its own role and is clear and clear.

The 80,000 troops who arrived first were arranged by Wang Li to defend outside the city.

Anyway, after a few days of running-in, they are better than the recruits who are still on the road and don't even know which general they belong to.

As for staying in the city all, I'm sorry, Yuyang can't accommodate so many people, and staying in the city can only cause a waste of troops.

And the Huns couldn't see how many people were in the city.

Wang Li needs to show all his troops and tell the Huns in battle formation, my main force is here, so you have to attack.

That's right, it's time for everyone to line up, set up formation, and wait for you to attack.

You're not coming?

Just bypass?

It's okay, you can.

Anyway, the situation in the back is the same as here and again, even if you go around, the city gate in the rear is closed, and you will not be able to fight to the death.

You can't fight, right?

Continue to go around?

Then please.

Your main force has passed, and at this time I will directly jam your logistics.

Under the policy of implementing the policy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness according to the orders in the entire five northern counties, what will you eat for the 100,000 people?

So, you'll have to turn around and come back to fight me, or just retreat.

And if you go too far south, then directly destroy your logistics and starve you to death.

Therefore, when the Zhuxia Dynasty is fighting, don't think that the two sides have lined up and start fighting again, it is a very stupid thing.

Don't think that you can go around the side, but you don't go around, you have to go up and hit with your head, which looks stupid.

The ancients were much smarter than you, and your main force would go around and break through.

But while you are marching on a detour, the defense of the troops is also at its weakest.

At this time, people suddenly came, what should you do?

There is no power to fight back at all, so you can only be abused.

What if you pass?

People can directly jam your logistics and make you starve to death.

Therefore, a city is so big, and the principle of why he can block a large area is here.

There are open spaces on the grassland on all sides, so you don't need to worry about these, but when you come to the big man, those rules on the grassland will not work.

Therefore, throughout the ages, there are only three kinds of people who dare to bypass the enemy's large array and break directly into the rear.

One is a small unit that has been tasked with carrying out special tasks, because of its small number, it does not need to carry too many supplies.

Also because of the small number of people, the probability of getting supplies is relatively large.

The second kind is Li Ling's kind of hard-headed person who doesn't want it, who dares to go deep into the grassland with 5,000 infantry, people just grind tofu, and they can grind you to death little by little, and you can't run away, what else can you do?

The third type is the cavalry unit.

Relying on the advantage of maneuvering, go around to see if you can open the breakthrough, if you open it, it is just right, it doesn't matter if you can't open it, just withdraw it in time.

Anyway, as long as I'm fast enough, you'll have nothing to do.

But now, the cavalry of the Huns did not work here either.

Wang Li issued an order to clear the walls in the five border counties, and all the people gathered in the cities or mountains and forests, and even if the Huns bypassed, they could not find food.

And their supplies are behind them, and they will be directly stuck by Wang Li of Yuyang.

At this time, the only thing the Huns could do was to continue to go south, break through the five border counties, and plunder the counties without strong walls and clear fields, or retreat directly.

But no matter which one he chooses, Wang Li will be able to harass the logistics of the main Xiongnu forces before they return.

On the city wall of Yuyang, Wang Li was dressed in general armor, and the helmet was covered with red feathers, which was extremely conspicuous.

Yuyang originally belonged to the border, and for hundreds of years it has been necessary to defend the Hu people from going south, so the city's defense facilities are relatively perfect.

However, because of the war, the defensive measures in recent years have fallen a little.

After coming to Yuyang, Wang Li directly ordered the fortifications to be repaired.

But how can a facility that has been abandoned for several years be repaired in a short period of time?

Besides, Wang Li still has to find time to train the troops, otherwise these recruits will not be able to exert their maximum combat effectiveness.

"The Xiongnu are only less than fifty miles away from here, and according to this time, there is a high probability that they will arrive in Yuyang tomorrow."

"Since we can't finish repairing these defenses by tomorrow, we simply don't repair them."

"Order all the generals to come and ......"
