Chapter 419: Good at luring soldiers to risk the enemy
At night, retreat to the Xiongnu camp twenty miles away from Huamachi City, where the Xiongnu generals were worshipping the stars and moons.
The customs of the Huns, waiting for the stars and the moon, the moon is strong and strong, and the moon is losing and retreating, they believe that when the moon is full, it is beneficial to the Huns, and when it is lost, it is unfavorable.
Nowadays, according to the calendar of the Central Plains, it is the beginning of October of the summer calendar, and the first quarter moon hangs high in the vast night sky outside the Saiwai......
"A few days ago, it was also a monthly loss, and I was afraid that the Qin people would be cheating, so I didn't dare to enter."
Gudu Hou Huyanlan tried his best to explain the reason why he did not attack more than a thousand Qin cavalry in the face of more than a thousand Qin cavalry a few days ago, but his voice became quieter and quieter. Because the main reason why he failed to enter the army was that the elders of the Xiongnu tribes were all interested in themselves, and they liked to plunder the weak Yan Rong around them, and they were unwilling to gnaw on this hard bone in the face of the sudden Qin army chariots.
And the tall figure in front of him finally turned around, full of anger!
The person who came was the Helan Dadanghu who had only arrived with his troops recently, and he was also one of the three noble races of the Huns, named Xu Busheng, as the "right big household", especially in the right bone of the envoy Shan Yu, and was also the commander of this local war.
"Don't blame the moon for losing and the moon is rising, Guduhou, you missed the only good opportunity that can hit the Qin people hard!"
Su Busheng knew very well that the Xiongnu's troops could not last, basically for a month, and once the time passed, if it was not profitable, the various departments that had finally gathered would be scattered.
Spring and summer are still like this, not to mention that now the foals are released into the group, according to the calendar of the Central Plains, it has already entered winter, and the horses are easy to die with soldiers in winter, which needs to be avoided as much as possible. When the first snow fell, if they could not capture Huamachi City and drive away the Qin army, they would have to retreat and let the herdsmen return to the tribe for the winter.
In that case, this war will end in the defeat of the Huns!
"Maybe I'll come back next year."
Huyanlan saw that the Qin army was gathering more and more, and the Qin generals were cautious, and did not attack the Xiongnu like a stunned youth, but slowly advanced, camped with his back to Huamachi City, which not only occupied the water source of the lake, but also blocked the Huns' plundering of the hinterland of Yanrong.
Ordinary Huns have already had the idea of retreating, anyway, these days, they have also plundered thousands of people and nearly 10,000 cattle and sheep at the Yanrong place, which is enough for all parts of the army to be sent out this time.
"Stupid!"
Su Busheng was angry at the short-sightedness of the Marquis of Gudu, and reprimanded: "The grassland has the rules of the grassland, and the betrayer will definitely pay the price. Da Dan ordered you and me to punish Yan Yan, bulldoze the city, kill all the young and strong, plunder women and livestock, and return as a punishment, so that the Henan tribes can know that the Huns are still the Huns, and the master is still the master! β
This war came for the sake of prestige, but if Yan Yanrong was under the protection of the Qin Dynasty and the city was not destroyed, then in the spring of the next year, a message would circulate in Henan and take root among all the enslaved tribes of the Huns: "The Xiongnu became weaker, just like the full moon gradually lost, and the strong Xiongnu became a weak crescent moon......"
"Not to mention Lin Hu, who has lost contact, Lou Fu and Bai Yang, I'm afraid they will all have different hearts!"
Obedience imposed by force can only be maintained if it remains strong.
Only then did Hu Yanlan realize the seriousness of the problem, and bowed down and said: "The words of the big boss are reasonable, and the harmful horses who betray the horses must be killed!" The grassland of Da Shan Yu is never allowed to be set foot by others! β
But how will the next battle be fought? Huyanlan is relatively young, and he is at a loss for this. They Huns lived in the grassland, fought with Yueshi and Donghu, and fought with Qu Jie and Ding Ling in the far north, but they were all people who drew bows, and the two sides immediately competed, but the Qin people in front of them were strong armor and sharp blades, hiding in the camp and holding out.
In the past few days, Huyanlan has also sent the most elite rangers who can ride and shoot horses to test the Qin people, and found that their weapons are mixed in length, crossbows come and go, and they like to dismount and fight, arranged neatly, and their swords and halberds are connected.
This is an unfamiliar tactic, and a shrewd hunter will be doubly careful when dealing with unfamiliar prey.
Not everyone of the Huns could shoot on horseback, and most of the herdsmen, after firing a few rounds of arrows, still had to dismount and shoot, and finally fought with knives and chΓ‘n (chΓ‘n) to settle the battle.
But once dismounted, they were poorly equipped and in poor order, and they were obviously no match for the Qin army.
Or Su Busheng Lao Dao, he said: "Jackals want to eat meat, horses want to gnaw grass, and the Huns want to slaughter cattle and sheep and drink caseine juice when they are hungry and thirsty. β
The logistics of the Huns, in addition to the dried meat and hard cheese brought by themselves, mainly relied on local looting, which is also the reason why Huyanlan frantically plundered local cattle, sheep and livestock.
Hu Yanlan is still unclear: "What does the big pawn mean?" β
"Your outpost has found out how many people are in the Qin army?"
"More than 5,000 soldiers."
"With so many mouths, is it enough to just eat the stored grain in the Huama Pond and slaughter the livestock of Yan Yanrong?"
Su Busheng said with a smile: "When I set out from Helan, I sent a sentinel to explore the south, and said that in the barren moraine two hundred miles south of Huamachi, there was a huge team marching north, and now it should be more than a hundred miles away. The line was very long, full of ox carts full of grain, escorted by more than 2,000 Qin soldiers, if I guessed correctly, this should be the reason why the Qin generals were not in a hurry to attack, but camped and waited! β
"If you can send a cavalry, destroy this convoy halfway, burn all the food, and cut off the follow-up food team. In less than a month, this Qin army will eat up the surplus grain of Huamachi City, and when the snow falls, they will be too weak to hold weapons! Let the Huns slaughter! β
β¦β¦
When the two Xiongnu generals were planning to attack the Qin army's grain team, in the Qin army's camp outside Huamachi City, Heifu was also guessing the next move of the Xiongnu with the deployers.
"The Huns really advance when they see the advantage, and retreat when they are unfavorable, and now they are camping ten miles back, they should be afraid of our army!"
Heifu's disciples went out of the fortress for the first time, and when they saw that the Huns seemed to be cowardly, they couldn't help but despise them a little.
"But the harassment of the Hun rangers never stopped."
The white wolf of Yiqu did not dare to be careless, and said: "Especially since yesterday, there have been Huns who have been approaching our army to test it. And just now, waiting for the cavalry to report urgently, saying that there was an unknown number of Hun cavalry out of the camp, with great fanfare, roaring south! β
Fighting outside the Saiwai, the battlefield was no longer limited to the line of sight, but extended to a hundred or even hundreds of miles away, and the whereabouts of the Huns who left the camp became the most concerned thing for the Qin army.
The county lieutenant Heifu bowed his head and asked, "Where is the grain team escorted by the county lieutenant Gongsun?" β
"Yesterday it was a hundred miles away in the south, and today it should be more than sixty miles away!"
"The whereabouts of the Hun cavalry are clear, they just want to attack our army's food team!" But Heifu was not worried, but happy.
Or learned the method from Wang Qian, his camp was very stable, except for letting the rangers set up a cordon a few miles away, ignoring the temptations and provocations of the Huns.
In the eyes of the Xiongnu, the Qin army was like a pangolin covered in armor, and there was no way to start.
And the only flaw of the Qin army is the rear army food team that has not yet arrived!
"This is also the only place where the Huns may take the initiative to attack in the near future!"
For long-distance expeditions, the supply line is the lifeline, once the supply line is broken, these thousands of people will have to rely on killing the cattle and sheep of the local tribe to feed themselves, even if they can last for a while, but it is not a long-term method.
Heifu immediately made a decision, and immediately ordered: "Yiqu is the leader, and you will lead a thousand Dayuan Rong cavalry, plus a thousand Yan Yanrong cavalry to the south, and you will definitely cooperate with Gongsun Captain to flank this Huns who robbed grain!" Crush it! β
Fu Zhi and Qiang Hua, who were at the end of the tent, heard that their friend Gan Chong's rear army might be attacked by the Huns, and they couldn't help but be nervous. Qiang Hua was anxious, worried about Gan Chong's safety, and hated that he couldn't go to the battlefield in person. Fu Zhi was gearing up, feeling that this time he finally had the opportunity to have a real big battle with the Huns!
But Heifu did not play according to the routine, he called the Yiqu white wolf, and after whispering a few words in his ear, he ordered Qiang Hua to go south with the Yiqu white wolf, and Fu Zhi and his subordinates who had repeatedly fought with the Huns were left in the army......
Qiang Hua was overjoyed, and immediately took a hundred subordinates who had long wanted to move their muscles out of the camp and got on the horse, and galloped south with the white wolf of Yiqu, while Fu Zhi looked at the dust left by their horses' hooves and was depressed, but he had no choice but to return to his own camp and shoot arrows on the target to vent his anger.
"Fu Guo Helmet, do you have a grudge against this target?"
An hour later, when Gong Ao came over, he saw that the target was densely packed with arrows, and he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and told Fu Zhi that the county lieutenant had something to call him.
When Fu Zhi entered the tent, he happened to meet Wu Shiyan hurriedly came out and entered the interior, Heifu was busy explaining some things to Wang Wei, Wang Wei only agreed, and also walked out with a serious face, and accidentally bumped into Fu Zhi by the tent door, but just nodded to him apologetically, and left quickly.
After finishing his work, Heifu looked at Fu Zhi, who had fallen to the ground in the tent.
"But are you unwilling? Feel like you've missed this rare opportunity to fight the Huns? β
"The subordinates don't dare." Fu Zhi said that he didn't dare, but in fact, he still had some opinions in his heart.
"The reason why I left you is because a few days ago, you fought with the Hun rangers, and you have won many victories, and you are more familiar with their tactics, and you may be able to come in handy if you stay in the camp......
"Useful?"
Fu Zhi raised his head a little strangely, according to the county lieutenant's plan, as long as they guard the Huamachi and keep the grain road in this battle, when it snows heavily, it will naturally be considered a victory, he stays here to guard the camp, except for occasionally going out to patrol the guard, what can be of great use?
Heifu said: "If the Huns really want to rob the grain, why don't they break up the cavalry into pieces, scatter them at night or early in the morning, and then assemble in the south?" In that case, the time when our army found out about this would be at least one or two hours later, which was enough for the Huns to inflict heavy losses on the grain fleet. β
But the Huns did not, but came out with great fanfare and trumpets, for fear that our army would not find out about their actions. Although it seems that there are a large number of troops, there are 2,000 horsemen, but because of the long distance, the waiting horsemen can only be estimated visually, and if it is not good, the smoke and dust that they deliberately raised are also counted......"
While speaking, Heifu walked to the side of the camp tent and said to Fu Zhi, who was dumbfounded: "Soldiers, treacherous ways, the shape of soldiers, avoid reality and attack the void." Although the Huns had never read the art of war, they also understood this truth in their perennial hunting and warfare. Chen Ping told me that the Huns were the best at luring soldiers to risk the enemy......"
"This time the grain robbery may be a trick of the Huns to lure the troops, in order to let me send all the main forces to protect the grain route, and he happened to attack my camp! Of course, it may also be that you really want to rob the grain, and if you are false, you will be false, and the next attack will be fake, and it will be a false shot. But no matter which is true or false, our army must be prepared with both hands! β
Fu Zhi was stunned when he heard this, and felt that the county lieutenant was really thoughtful, and he couldn't keep up with his train of thought at all!
As he spoke, there was a loud sound of golden drums outside!
"There really is an enemy attack!"
Fu Zhi stood up with a spirit, and Heifu smiled and said to Fu Zhi: "Don't be in a daze, go and order your soldiers, and prepare to meet the enemy with this captain!" β
