On the ground, a foot high, covered with beams and wooden piers, and then layers of wooden planks were laid up, basically hollow inside, but a lot of not thick or thin, sharpened wooden sticks were added as support. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Coupled with a large number of wooden nails, soon the foundation of a camp gradually appeared to be framed, and all that remained was to fill the empty planks underneath with insulation between the ground.

For this purpose, all the generals who had been trained in qi were basically sent over to carry out shavings, and about seven or eight thousand fine pine and fir trees were forcibly shaved, soaked in oil and filled in the gap between the planks and the ground.

After warming, oil-soaked pine wood shavings, coupled with a large number of sawn wood, the heat preservation can be called terrible, after the efforts of more than 10,000 Yuan soldiers, eight days later, the Han army finally completed the construction of their own camp, covering a terrible range of more than 2,500 acres.

By the way, this camp is more than a foot higher than the Northern Xiongnu, but now that the snow is falling too much, there is no obvious difference at all, and the heavy snow has successfully covered up what the judge and others want to cover up completely.

Of course, in the eight days when the Han army built the camp, the Northern Xiongnu did have a feeling of living like a year, and finally on the sixth day, they couldn't bear it anymore and sent more than 3,000 people to attack the Han army in the wind and snow.

It's a pity that from the fourth day, Xun Chen has ordered people to loosen the outside and tighten the inside, strengthen the vigilance, cancel all night patrols, and instead arrange a large number of dark posts, specially built wooden camps, after moving a piece of movable planks, the dark posts only need to climb in.

A large number of pine fir shavings are not inferior to winter clothes at all, and the dark whistle only needs to lie inside, and the hollow wooden structure makes the transmission of footsteps clearer, so most of the dark whistles only need to lie there to know exactly whether there is someone attacking the periphery.

There are even secret sentinels who have prepared quilts in advance, and in groups of three, lie in the shavings and rest with the quilts, which is no worse than in the camp tent.

Originally, the sad situation of patrolling in the winter was torn into a bed by Xun Chen to be monitored, except for forcing the three of them not to rest, Xun Chen did not have much pursuit of other aspects.

Naturally, in this case, there will not be any group of Han soldiers' secret outposts that are stealing and slipping, and in the same case, the sneak attack of the Northern Xiongnu has no possibility of success at all, after all, killing the Northern Xiongnu will not think that the soldiers of the Han army are at their feet.

Under these circumstances, the night attack on the sixth day of the construction of the Han camp was a tragedy for the Northern Xiongnu.

Even the sentry itself didn't know that Xun Chen had sprinkled more than 3,000 people among the shavings under the floor of the camp as a sentry sentry, and on such a terrifying scale, even without a single patrol soldier, it was absolutely impossible for the Northern Huns to hide their figures.

Of course, the Northern Xiongnu who sneaked into the attack thought that the Han army was too negligent and gave them a considerable opportunity, but when the Northern Xiongnu entered the camp and went deep for a long time, they determined that the Han army really did not have soldiers patrolling at night, and when they were overjoyed and ready to forcibly attack the core of the Han army at night, they encountered the front and rear attacks of the Han army!

More than 3,000 Northern Xiongnu were all killed except for more than 1,000 who were specially left behind, and the Han army's sudden front and rear attacks made the Northern Xiongnu suffer a heavy blow without even reacting.

Subsequently, under the leadership of a certain brave general of the Northern Xiongnu, the Northern Xiongnu rushed left and right, successfully approached the core of the Han army's grain and grass hoarding, and attracted the attention of the Han army by setting fire, and successfully broke out of the encirclement and escaped.

Of course, these are all nonsense, the trial just wants to let the group of Northern Huns out, after all, if they want to win a big victory, they must think about some stratagem when their troops are insufficient, and now is a good opportunity.

After killing 2,000 Northern Xiongnu with a fairly small loss, the trial and Xun Chen no longer put their minds on the Northern Xiongnu.

On the eighth day after the camp was completely completed, Xun Chen and the others finally entered the verification stage before the implementation of the plan, and several people began to compare in detail.

"The food is not safe here, do you have any good ways to deal with it?" Xun Chen looked at the trial and asked, although it was not the real food that was burned before, Xun Chen was still a little worried, what if it was leaked in the future, food is the foundation of survival.

"What to do with this thing, we can all dig up such troublesome things, find a place to dig a pit for this thing, lay planks underneath, cover planks on top, and then bury them all." Xu You pursed his lips and said, "I'll leave this matter to me, in other words, didn't you get a lot of shavings and couldn't deal with it, leave it to me." ”

"First of all, have you dug it through?" Xun Chen looked at Xu You and asked, Recently, Xu You Bai picked up a large piece of dark green jade, and his IQ has increased a lot, and by the way, Xu You, who has been cheaply recently, always wants to dig that open-pit jade mine.

"It's passed, the soldiers worked harder than I thought, probably there must be brave men under the heavy reward, the tunnel has been dug through, because of the heavy snow, the sound of the tunnel digging is basically absorbed by the snow." Xu You nodded and said.

Xu You estimated that he had already dug up the place, so he asked people to take a peek in the middle of the night, and then sealed the place with loess.

"But what I'm more surprised about now is that the Northern Xiongnu actually implement unified management, and women cook together, and there are a lot of guards in the middle camp, and it seems that they also know what is most important." Xu You said with a solemn expression.

"What are you going to do?" Xun Chen looked at Xu You and asked.

"I need some wood for support, and I'm going to hollow it out, and it's going to take three days, two days if it's going to be around the clock, and three days if it's only done when it's safe to do it." Xu You said.

"Well, on that day, Ziyuan, you and I forcibly stopped the heavy snow, and handed over the rest to Zhengnan, who has been living on the torches, I'm really worried that one day one of us will be careless." Xun Chen said a little helplessly, their current camp is really very dangerous.

"Three days, wait another three days and you'll see a winner." Xu You looked at the two of them and said solemnly.

"Okay, that's up to you." The judge also looked at Xu Yu very solemnly, and then Xun Chen also stretched out his hand, "We have confidence in victory, it is not so easy to annihilate everything, Ziyuan, you do your thing in the past three days, and I and Zhengnan will think about how to completely annihilate the Northern Huns." ”

The judge nodded and agreed with this, what Xu You wants to do is really related to the next victory or defeat.

After the three of them discussed, they went to report to Yuan Tan together, and then Xu You continued to study how to get rid of the granary of the Northern Xiongnu, you must know that the current grain and grass of the Northern Xiongnu are mainly divided into the carcasses of cattle and sheep buried in the snow, and a large amount of grain in the granary.

The grain in the granary is not a problem for Xu You, but the extremely large number of cattle and sheep buried in the snow is Xu You's biggest problem.

Although the Northern Xiongnu were destined to run out of food in the near future, the more than one million fat sheep buried in the snow were enough for the Northern Xiongnu to eat for more than a month, and they didn't have so much time to spend here for them.

Xu Yu pressed his temples and thought silently.

Xu You's face was slightly ugly, although he also knew that it was very difficult to annihilate the whole country, in fact, as long as the achievement of the nine annihilations was achieved, the Northern Xiongnu would have basically been destroyed.

"Uh, what are you doing here?" When Xu You was walking in the camp, he found that a commander was not patrolling well, and he was actually playing with sand!

"I've seen Xu Junshi!" Chen Jie's reaction was very fast, and after noticing Xu You, he immediately got up and saluted Xu You.

"Let me think about it, by the way, your name is Chen Shurong, and you were recommended to the lord by the public a few years ago, before I remembered that you were all captains, why did you become a commander again." Xu You stared at Chen Jie for a while, and finally remembered why he was familiar, this guy was recommended to Yuan Shao by Guo Tu at the beginning, and he appeared in front of him a few times.

"Xu Junshi actually remembers it." Chen Jie said with a little surprise.

"What are you doing here?" Xu You didn't want to pursue Chen Jie's question at this time, so he asked.

Chen Jie was slightly embarrassed to get out a spoonful of sand from the wooden barrel on the side, and when he turned around and was about to scoop water in another bucket, the water in the bucket was already frozen, he reached out to break the ice surface, scooped a spoonful of water and poured it on the sand, the cold wind blew, Chen Jie vigorously broke off the sand that had frozen into a piece.

Then he scratched his head and said to Xu You, "Master Xu, I was born in Yingchuan, and I have never seen this situation there, so I have a lot of fun, and I ask for forgiveness from the military teacher." ”

Xu You looked up and down at the basically frozen sand in Chen Jie's hand, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he suddenly found that the matter of the Northern Huns running away was not unsolvable.

"Shurong, do you know how to speak to the Huns?" Xu You asked casually.

"Yes." Chen Jie was stunned for a moment and replied, "Actually, I not only know Xiongnu dialect, but also Xianbei dialect, Nanyue dialect, Qian dialect, and seven or eight local dialects. ”

Xu Yu was stunned at this moment, "Why are you learning so many languages?" ”

"It's not that I want to learn on my own." Chen Jie scratched his head, "It's just that I can barely communicate with the locals after staying in one place for more than half a month, and after staying in one place for three months, I can speak their language as well as them, and I can speak so many kinds of words because I have stayed in those places." ”

Xu You was surprised, "Sure enough, the fortune of heaven is in our Dahan, let me listen to a few words of Xiongnu dialect, be fluent, for example, let people follow you or something." ”

Chen Jie didn't think much about it, so he repeated it in Xiongnu dialect, and the fluency of his voice made Xu You wonder if Chen Jie was a Hun wearing a Han skin.

"That's good, it's good, hahahaha!" Xu You looked up to the sky and laughed, "Now give you a task, take my warrant to find the lord, the lord guild will arrange a task for you, and you will be sung by the history like your two clan brothers." ”

Chen Jie didn't understand why Xu You was so excited, but after receiving Xu You's warrant, he began to implement it to the letter.

Yuan Tan looked at Xu You's handwriting, and looked Chen Jie up and down again, "In the future, you will be a lieutenant colonel, and now you will lead your three thousand people, as well as Zhu Han, Jiang Qi, and Wang Mo's men and horses, and go outside the camp to build a city wall around the camp in the way you played with sand before." ”

"No!" Chen Jie said excitedly.

That night, 12,000 Han soldiers built a wall around 30 meters outside the camp, the wall was not high, only more than two meters, but it was as thick as two zhang, all of which were dug by the Han army on the spot that night, and then watered, but this degree was far from enough for Xu Yu's requirements.

Of course, the Han army, which had built the outer wall with their own hands, was not surprised by this wall, but the next day, the Northern Xiongnu, who suddenly found that there was an additional wall on the periphery of the Han army's camp, were taken aback.

But it doesn't matter, the next day to continue construction, local materials, the efforts of 21,000 people to make this city wall five zhang thick, seven zhang thick with ice to strengthen into an integrated city wall, has caught up, even surpassed the thickness of most of the city walls in this unscientific Central Plains!

However, the walls of the Central Plains have been warmed by the inhabitants of the city, and they are twice as strong as normal, so they still need to be reinforced

On the third and last day, the Han army no longer cared whether to hide or not, and all the Han troops did it day and night, so they even delayed the original plan by one day, and the entire outer wall was thickened to ten zhang, and the height was also increased to one zhang.

This level of wall, even if it is not warmed by the clouds, and the integrated effect achieved by relying on the frozen sand is enough to resist the destruction of the legion's attack.

To put it simply, even the large-caliber artillery of later generations had no good way to deal with buildings of this level.

Only the four entrances and exits about ten zhang wide in the east, west, north and south were retained, and the rest of the places were all surrounded, and the Northern Xiongnu were particularly excited to see it.

Even on the fourth day, during the day, it began to imitate the Han army to build, but because of the continuous harassment of the Han army, only a wall of about 3,000 meters has been built so far, and the manpower of the Northern Xiongnu is several times that of the Han army, and it will take less than a few days to completely establish a defensive line, but the Northern Xiongnu have not had so many days.

"It's almost sheep-suffocating." The judge looked at Chen Jie, who was no longer indistinguishable from the Northern Huns, thought for a while and said, and soon a sheepskin with a strong smell was wrapped around Chen Jie.

Chen Jie looked disgusted, but quickly adapted, and then made a normal Hun look, expressed his satisfaction, and then looked at Xun Chen and the others and nodded.

"Let's go." The judge pair Ji Ling, Gao Lan, Jiang Qi, Wang Mo and others bowed deeply, "Victory or defeat is ours, we must not back down!" ”

"Obey the general's orders!" Ji Ling and the others said solemnly.

After that, the judge took the generals to the tunnel dug by Xu Yu before, and after this period of time, he worked in shifts without sleep. The dozen or so tunnels have been successfully reached, each of which is three people wide, and it takes a lot of effort to do so. (。 )
