Chapter 200: From Offense to Defense
"Former general, what should we do next?"
Su Jian and Zhang Cigong both came to seal the marquis in the First World War, but they made such an oolong, and they are all more anxious now.
"General Ranger, what do you think we should do now?"
Wei Qing immediately threw the question to Zhang Yuan, as the planner of the plan, Zhang Yuan was more qualified than anyone else to talk about this topic.
"There was no other way, Gongsun He, Gongsun Aotong led the foot soldiers and the slave army to build fortifications here.
Put all the three-bow bed crossbows you brought with you, and the Xiongnu Dadanyu may arrive soon, and the Hun Evil King and the Hutu King may also support.
The former general took Yan Yi, Wang Qing and Su Jian, Zhang Cigong, and went directly to Gaowangcheng, met General Li Guang on the way, and asked them to bring the army to Gaoque.
Only the former general can now make Li Guang listen to the general's orders.
The Aries King is most likely in Gaowang City, Gaowang City has been eroded by wind and sand for almost a hundred years, the city walls have long been useless, and the cavalry is more important than foot soldiers in the desert.
However, after the former general directly exterminated the Aries King tribe, he returned to Gaoque to join our army.
Manchester City must take it!
Otherwise, we are too passive. ”
"Then why don't you just take Toumancheng now, and then defend against the attack of the Huns in Toumancheng?"
Zhang Yuan didn't even have to look back to know which fool asked this.
Gongsun Ao still doesn't understand what kind of war game everyone is playing.
This guy is also lucky, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to make a meritorious contribution to 10,000 battles.
There are more than ten people in the military tent, and Zhang Yuan looks down on this brave and reckless man the most.
As a result, Zhang Yuan directly ignored the problem of sand sculpture.
"Former general, the soldiers are very fast, maybe you have to lead the troops to set off now."
Wei Qing also ignored Gongsun Ao, he was stupid, and he was stupid enough to ask.
"I will lead the cavalry to the city of Gaowang, where the army will be under the command of the ranger general.
General Gongsun He is the second deputy. ”
"The last general obeys!"
Gongsun Ao was a little dissatisfied with Zhang Yuan for not explaining to him, and jumped out when Wei Qing left.
"General Ranger, do you still have an opinion about me?"
Zhang Yuan glanced at him with his eyebrows, then nodded.
"You're right, I have an opinion about you!"
"This is in the army, the ranger general brought personal grievances into the army, how should you lead the troops?"
"I said it was because of a personal vendetta? What I have an opinion about is your ability, if I am handsome, you can be a vanguard at most.
Although there are many incompetent generals of the Han Dynasty, it is really rare to be incompetent to the point of you! ”
Gongsun Ao has been watching Zhang Yuan unhappy since he fought with Zhang Yuan in Chang'an City.
Because of Zhang Yuan, Wei Qing became more and more unfamiliar with Gongsun Ao.
Because of Zhang Yuan, his grandson Ao was repeatedly punished.
Now he is humiliating him in front of so many people, Gongsun Ao's temper will explode at a moment, but now Zhang Yuan is the person designated by Wei Qing to govern them.
This made Gongsun Ao endure it.
The problem of colliding with superiors in Chang'an City is not big, and it is called political discord.
In the army, Zhang Yuan could directly cure Gongsun Ao's crimes.
The key thing is that Gongsun He Ming, who also stayed in Gaoque, was on Zhang Yuan's side.
"The last general just wants to ask, why don't you just send troops to Manchester City?"
This Gongsun Ao is also persistent.
Zhang Yuan grinned, got up and walked to the edge of the map.
Pointing to his head, Manchester City said to Gongsun Ao.
"I'm going to give you a lesson today, a three-year-old child knows the truth, and you're still asking here.
Look at the fact that we have led our troops into Touman City, will the Huns attack us? ”
"They will definitely suffer great losses when they attack us."
"You know that, too? So where will we go if they don't attack? ”
"Will retreat!"
Gongsun Ao said it very positively, which made Zhang Yuan doubt his life.
"Brother Gongsun He, can you send this fool back to Chang'an City?"
Gongsun He shook his head awkwardly.
"Forgive me, General, he sometimes just can't turn around."
Gongsun Ao is stupid, but he understands that others scold him.
"You two have humiliated me so much, do you have other opinions? My Gongsun Ao is also a person who has seen the art of war.
There is a fortified city in front of you that cannot be taken, do you still have to attack it? ”
"Don't say that you have read the art of war, you will mislead others and make them think that the art of war written by the ancients is useless.
You don't want to think about it yourself, the purpose of the Huns Dadan Yu military ministers going south is to support the king of Loufu and the king of Aries.
It's not here to fight you, you go to Toumancheng, Gaoque's defensive strength will be weakened, that Hun Dadan Yu Junchen will definitely take the Hun cavalry to attack Gaoque, once the Gaoque passage is opened, what else does it matter about Mancheng?
We will take the first Manchester City in the future, and it will be established in Henan and the Hetao area, and there will be no Huns.
Then you can move the front forward, and you don't have to fight at your doorstep, so that the people on the frontier will not live in the flames of war. ”
After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, not only Gongsun Ao was stunned, but Gongsun He was also stunned, and Zhang Yuan himself was also stunned.
Zhang Yuan had been worrying about how to persuade Wei Qing and Liu Che to build a city on the grassland, but the reason just spit out of his mouth naturally.
Gongsun Ao was stunned, probably realizing that he was stupid.
Gongsun He was stunned and also heard the theory that Zhang Yuan's front was moving forward.
The three of them were all trying to figure out what it meant, and it wasn't until there was a roar outside that everyone eased up.
The roar signaled that Wei Qing had left.
Gongsun He and Gongsun Ao also came out of the military tent and hurried to build fortifications according to Zhang Yuan's words.
The Xiongnu were all cavalry, and the Han army only needed to get some more thorns and bury them on the flat ground north of Gaoque.
Of course, this trap can be easily solved by burning with fire, but it also takes a lot of time.
Fortunately, Zhang Yuan is the one who wants to delay time, and the Huns are the one who lacks time.
Now it's not sure whether the Hun Dadan Yu Junchen will appear, in case it doesn't appear, then everyone will really be happy.
As the second highest Han who had taken refuge in the Xiongnu, Chu Da also went south with the Xiongnu Dadan Yu Junchen.
But he was very relaxed in his heart, he knew Zhang Yuan's plan, and he followed the plan at this time. The Aries King and the Lou Fu King are on their way back to Chang'an City.
The trip of the Xiongnu Dadan Yu Junchen in Chuda looks like it will definitely be in vain.
But when the Hun army arrived at Touman City, Chu Da felt that something was wrong, there was no one here at all.
Shouldn't Zhang Yuan's plan be to settle in Manchester City!
Chu Da's feeling is not right, and the feeling of the Xiongnu Dadan Yu Junchen is very right.
All this shows that the Han army has not yet taken down the King of Lou Fu and the King of Aries.
The procrastination of the Xiongnu Dadan Yu Junchen was deliberate, giving the Han army half a month to clean up the King of Loufu and the King of Aries, if the two of them were cleaned up by the Han army, then it would prove that the strength of the Han army was very strong.
The warlord avoided war without tarnishing his reputation.
But if the King of Lou Fu and the King of Aries are still there, then the strength of the Han army that is levied on this expenditure will not be good.
The Xiongnu Dadan Yu military ministers could choose a suitable time to appear and rescue the poor King Lou Fu and the Aries King and the military ministers' own people.
Whatever the kings do, they have their own calculations.
Toumancheng is very close to Gaoque, and the Hun army has slowed down, but it still arrived at Gaoque in half a day.
The tents of the Han army were set up on both sides of the high gate.
There are no more people living on this side of the north.
The reason why he didn't tear down the tents was because Zhang Yuan felt that the tents were a good shelter.
"Yu Dan, it seems that the main force of the Han army is here."
Because the tents have not been dismantled, from a distance it looks like there are two or three hundred thousand troops stationed here.
At this time, the regular army, the canu army, and the people together were just 160,000 people.
The number is actually similar to what the Xiongnu Dadan Yu Junchen thought, but the combat effectiveness is much worse because the regular army is only 20,000.
Without geographical advantages, Zhang Yuan had no way to win in front of 200,000 Hun cavalry.
However, fortunately, the terrain of Gaoque is suitable for infantry combat, not for cavalry to charge.
160,000 people, and the cavalry charge could not penetrate.
So the Xiongnu Dashan Yu military ministers stopped after seeing it and talked to his prince Yu Dan.
Behind the two of them stood a man, looking at the others with gloomy eyes all the time.
This person is Yi Zhixian, the king of Zuogu Li, and he can't see Yu Shan chatting with the military ministers.
are all competitors with big orders in the position, and the person Yi Zhixian hates the most must be Yu Dan.
"Father, please give your son 50,000 cavalry, and your son will definitely kill all the Han army in front of you."
The same thing seems to have been said by Yu Shan more than once.
But the military ministers like to hear it.
"Don't worry, stay here overnight tonight, and send someone to cross Yinshan overnight and go to that side to see the situation of the Han army."
"Da Dan Yu will leave this matter to his younger brother to do."
Yi Zhi leaned forward and said.
The military ministers still recognized Yi Zhixie's ability, and immediately agreed to give this task to Yi Zhixie.
On the side of Yinshan, Zhang Yuan and the others also knew that the Xiongnu Dadan Yu military minister led 200,000 cavalry to arrive.
However, when I saw the Hun army starting to set up tents, I muttered a little in my heart.
The Huns will not have to spend so much time with the Han army.
"Summoning Gongsun He and Gongsun Ao to my big tent."
Zhang Yuan summoned his own soldiers and called Gongsun He and Gongsun Ao over.
The two had actually been waiting for Zhang Yuan to summon them, so they quickly rushed over.
"The two generals also saw that the Xiongnu Dadan Yu military ministers had indeed arrived on the opposite side of us.
However, we don't know when they will attack, so I plan to have General Gongsun He keep vigil and General Gongsun Ao to keep watch with me during the day.
What do the two generals think? ”
Zhang Yuan seemed to be asking two people, but he was actually asking Gongsun He's opinion.
"Everything is at the orders of the Ranger General.
I will definitely set up a secret post to prevent the Hun army from successfully attacking us at night. ”
Gongsun Ao was very conscious and did not speak this time.
"Okay, I believe in the two generals, we only need to defend until the former general returns, and then we can fight back!"
