Chapter 145: Each has its own response
In the vast grassland, a huge caravan of more than 10,000 people is slowly advancing like a long snake.
At the front of the team, there was a group of cavalrymen in black armor, led by a large banner with a big Qin character on it!
The black flag fluttered in the wind, echoing with the black dragon flag held by the surrounding cavalry, which was very spectacular!
Since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, it has experienced the end of the Warring States Period, and there has never been a caravan of such a huge scale on the grassland!
Even if some merchants took the risk of secretly trading with the Yue clan in order to pursue profits, it was only a carriage and more than a dozen guards.
Moreover, don't dare to go too deep!
If you're lucky, you'll naturally make a lot of money after successful trading.
Those who are unlucky and have been plundered by aliens have no corpses left and can only end up feeding wild wolves.
However, businessmen who pursue profit and dare to take risks under the temptation of 300 percent profits, even if they go to the guillotine, how can they stop because of danger.
It's just that because he has died tragically in the grassland, he is not known.
Gou Li is a successful column.
Of course, those who failed, I don't know how many .......
Just like everyone knows that selling white noodles will judge polarity, but they still can't stop their greedy desires!
Ten miles away from the caravan, an army of 100,000 men fell far behind.
Every now and then, a cavalry would come galloping to report the news and report the results of the search.
Li Jing sat on horseback, listening to the inconsequential report, but there was no impatience on his face.
will say in a deep voice: "Explore again!" ”
After all, the purpose of Gongzi asking the county guard to form this caravan was to open up trade routes, not only to make profits, but also to introduce crops from the Western Regions!
Therefore, the mission is equipped in order to introduce crops faster and more completely with the cooperation of the Western Regions officials!
And the first trade is directly related to whether more merchants will join in the future!
This time, in order to attract the Huns, I used the caravan that Gongzi valued as bait, can you be careless!
Besides, if the strategy fails, won't this great general's face be lost!
It wasn't until the spies from Heishuitai came to report and found the traces of the Hun cavalry, that a smile appeared on their tense faces.
The unknown is always the most terrifying!
If you don't even know where the enemy is, you won't know when you'll be attacked, let alone prepare in advance.
Now that I know the enemy's location, I sent scouts to patrol the surroundings, and it was much easier to set it up.
Moreover, in order to cooperate with the operation, even the speed of the caravan has strict regulations, and there are regulations on how many miles it can travel each day.
"Continue to pay attention to the movements of the Huns, the unreliable is too close!"
After giving the order to the spies, Li Jing turned his head and said in a deep voice: "Notify the caravan, start defense, and remember to protect the goods!" ”
"No!"
The four horsemen immediately galloped and pursued the caravan ten miles away.
In order to ensure that the news can be delivered accurately, even the report is made up by a group of four people to form Li Jing's attention to this operation!
At the same time, nearly a hundred miles away, a huge cavalry corps of tens of thousands marched forward on the steppe.
"Report, found caravan trails!"
A cavalryman dressed in animal skins reported quickly.
King Zuo Xian narrowed his eyes, grinned on his thick lips surrounded by a beard, and said with a smile: "Imori's news is really accurate, if this guy makes good use of it, it can bring us a lot of convenience in the future!" ”
The eyes of the Right Virtuous King widened on his rough face, and he said excitedly: "I am more concerned about whether there are women in the Qin caravan, hahaha!" ”
King Zuo Xian rolled his eyes, and his heart was very disdainful of this thing that was full of only women.
As long as this huge convoy can be snatched this time, the tribes will be able to survive the winter.
After months of recuperation, where can I grab a woman!
The county of the Qin people can't grab it, so go and grab the high-nosed woman of the Yue clan, don't you have a different taste!
The Right Virtuous King urged impatiently: "Hurry up and move forward, the warrior's scimitar is already hungry and thirsty, and I want to taste the taste of Qin people's blood!" ”
"No hurry!" King Zuo Xian raised his hand to block.
He said in a deep voice: "This time our mission is to loot all the supplies with the minimum casualties!"
If you speed up the long-distance attack now, both the warriors and the horses will be exhausted!
When the time comes, if we fight with the Qin army's escort, our losses will inevitably increase greatly, which is not in line with Da Danyu's goal! ”
"So what do you think we should fight?" King Youxian glared, a look of dissatisfaction.
Since even Da Shan Yu's order has moved out, even if he wants to rush up and loot immediately, he can only endure it for the time being.
King Zuo Xian said in a deep voice: "Speed up the company's march, run to ten miles away from the caravan before sunset, and after resting, take the night to sneak attack!" ”
Soon, the military order was issued, and the deafening sound of horses' hooves sounded in the vast grassland.
Tens of thousands of troops galloped quickly, and even the wolves along the way could only bypass far away under the sound of horses' hooves.
With the passage of time, and the fast horse returns constantly ahead.
As the sun set, the Hun army stopped ten miles from the caravan.
As King Zuo Xian said, at this moment, both horses and cavalry are galloping for dozens of miles, and they all need to rest.
At the same time, a large army in black armor also spread out in a fan shape centered on the caravan.
After several months of physical training, the endurance of the border troops increased dramatically, and the marching speed was faster.
100,000 infantrymen marched silently in the night with long ges and crossbows on their backs.
The long caravan also began to shrink after nightfall, and nearly a thousand wagons were gathered together, and the army of the guards shrank into a circle under the command of the general.
Outside, iron shields were erected, like turtle shells to protect the caravan.
"Report, the demolition army has planted explosives three hundred steps away!" A cavalryman ran to the command camp and reported in a low voice.
In order not to cause panic, the merchants who joined did not know until now that the entire caravan had become bait.
And as the object of fishing, 80,000 Hun cavalry are already ten miles away!
It's just that the Huns didn't make a sound in order to surprise the sneak attack in the middle of the night.
After making sure that the caravan had lit a bonfire and stopped advancing, even the cavalry who were inquiring about the movement was retracted, just for fear of letting the other party notice!
Anyway, a large caravan of tens of thousands of people could not set off in a hurry in the middle of the night.
In the eyes of the Huns, it was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered quietly waiting for the wolves to come to the door!
On the other side of the steppe, a cavalry of three thousand men rested by a campfire.
Da-da-da-da!
A hurried sound of horses' hooves approached.
After identifying themselves, a group of cavalry from Upper County was put into the barracks.
The cavalry led by him hurriedly said: "Gongzi has an order, the flying cavalry army, attack!" ”
