When the two came to the tent, Yin Fang asked Wu Meng, "Brother Wu Xian, how many war horses are there in the army?" ”

Wu Meng understood what Yin Fang meant, so he smiled bitterly: "There are still three thousand, Brother Yin, you also know that there are not a few horses that have died of exhaustion and loss these days, and if the remaining three thousand war horses are less, then the baggage of the army will have to be carried by the brothers themselves." ”

Yin Fang was silent when he heard this, and Wu Meng said again: "Brother Yin, otherwise I will take some brothers and go around to see if there is a tribe of Rong people." ”

Up to now, there is no other way, these days the Qin army tried to avoid encountering the Rong tribe, but at this time, I was looking forward to finding the Rong tribe to solve the problem of hunger.

Yin Fang looked at Wu Meng, and after a long time, he grabbed his hand and said, "I'll go." ”

Wu Meng smiled and said, "The solution is something I came up with, so let's go." ”

Seeing Yin Fang's worried expression, Wu Meng smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Brother Yin, I'll come back." ”

With that, he turned around and ordered the soldiers to go.

The sun set over the mountains in the west, and there was silence in the Qin army's camp.

Yin Fang sat in the tent of the Chinese army, looking at Zhao Zhihai, who was sleeping on the straw mat, and the medical officer who was taking care of him.

"General, hurry up and get better, Brother Wu took three thousand brothers out to find the Rong people in the afternoon, I'm really afraid that he will make a mistake.

You are the Optimus Jade Pillar of my Great Qin, you have fallen, what should you do brothers. ”

In terms of age, Yin Fang is two years older than Zhao Zhihai, but both he and the soldiers of the Qin army have a fascinated reverence for Zhao Zhihai and Fang Yuanheng, the two walls of the empire.

If Zhao Zhihai were killed at this moment, the more than 10,000 Great Qin troops outside the territory would not have to wait for the Rong people to catch up, and they would collapse on their own.

The reason why they can hold on to this moment is mostly because the soldiers know that General Zhongjing is by their side.

But at this time, Yin Fang also understood that the army was on the verge of collapse at any time, perhaps an enemy attack, an animal attack, a miasma erosion, and a mutiny in the fight for food.

The bonfire in front of her flickered and flickered, and Yin Fang had no sleep, so she spent the whole night in worry and confusion.

The sky was just slightly bright, and several people outside the Qin army camp rushed into the camp, and when they saw Yin Fang, who was red-eyed, they hurriedly knelt down on one knee, and because they were out of breath because they were running, they said intermittently:

Yin ...... General Yin, a native of Rong...... Here it comes. ”

Hearing this, Yin Fang stood up and asked, "How many people are here, and where are they at the moment?" ”

The sergeant breathed heavily, and with great difficulty cleared the breath in his chest. Only then did he hurriedly say: "Just ten miles behind the camp, I am touching the outside of our military camp, and there are about 9,000 people. ”

After hearing this, Yin Fang hurriedly ordered the remaining four marquis of the army to be dispersed, with two marquis each leading 3,000 troops to occupy the surrounding high ground outside the camp, and the remaining two marquis and himself leading 7,000 men and horses to defend themselves.

At the same time, the front and rear camp walls were reinforced by cutting down trees.

To the left of the camp is a stream, which is not wide or deep, but it is extremely fast, and it is not easy for men and horses to cross the river from here. On the right side is a cliff more than 100 feet high, from which the soldiers will never attack.

After making a series of defensive arrangements, Yin Fang breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the other party is fighting in his hometown, he wants to eat the 13,000 soldiers who are on the defensive with only 9,000 men, and he is also a little arrogant.

Thinking about the defensive arrangements he had made, there was nothing wrong with it, but Yin Fang still led his soldiers to various high ground outside the camp, and arranged for the soldiers to guard their positions and observe the incoming enemy.

The place where the Qin soldiers camped was the hillside in the east, the stream in the west, and the place near the mountain and the water. On the other side of the stream is a dense forest.

At this moment, the Qin army deployed the troops of Liangqu on the eastern slope, which was also distributed with large and small woods and streams, so it was not abrupt, and the defenders were also in danger.

For Yin Fang, the only hidden danger for him at present is that the soldiers are fighting hungry.

After thinking about it, Yin Fang ordered the Chinese army to make rice, and then kill 500 war horses mixed with the wild vegetables dug up yesterday, so that the soldiers of the whole army could have a full meal.

Today's battle is likely to be cruel and abnormal, how can you fight without a full stomach.

Looking at the Rong people looming in the dense woods in the distance, Yin Fang understood that in less than two hours, the Rong people were coming.

He casually asked the herald soldier beside him if General Wu Meng could come back.

After receiving a negative answer, Yin Fang lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then turned around and returned to the camp.

In less than an hour, the forward soldiers of the Rong people appeared in front of the Qin soldiers' camp, and after seeing that the Qin people had already prepared, those forward soldiers did not rush to attack, but just stood on the hillside in the distance and watched the Qin army.

Yin Fang naturally saw the Rong soldiers, and he knew that the Rong people were waiting for the army to gather before attacking. In this way, there are still some soldiers on the high ground who have not yet eaten, and it is just a good time to use this time to make all the soldiers have a full meal.

After another hour, Yin Fang strangely found that the Rong people still had no intention of attacking.

He said in his heart, is this to drag himself to death like outside Xiaoguan City?

Yin Fang couldn't help but be a little worried, if the Rong people didn't attack, then he couldn't keep being like this. The only way to do this is to take the initiative to attack, but in that case, this kind of terrain will definitely cause heavy casualties to the Qin soldiers who are already in a state of exhaustion, and Yin Fang does not feel that there will be a chance of victory.

Just when he was at a loss, Yin Fang suddenly heard the noise of people behind the camp, and he just wanted to turn around and go to the back camp to investigate, but saw several people running towards him.

The person who came was pale, it was Xie Yun, the military marquis who had arranged to guard the rear camp, and as soon as Xie Yun came to Yin Fang, he hurriedly said: "Captain Yin, the rear camp is attacking." ”

Before Yin Fang could inquire, the Marquis of Xie said again: "The enemies in the rear camp are all old people, women and children, but there are quite a lot of them, and it seems that there are 10,000 people. ”

"I see."

Yin Fang suddenly understood, it turned out that the soldiers in the front battalion were waiting for these reinforcements to arrive, and they were flanked back and forth.

"Are you going to hold on?"

Yin Fang didn't think that more than 10,000 old people, women and children could pose a threat to the Qin army in a hundred battles.

But Xie Yun's face turned pale and said: "Captain Yin, although the combat strength of the old men, women and children of the Rong people is much weaker than that of the Rong soldiers, they are not afraid of the continuous impact of death, and the soldiers are all children and old people, so they are a little soft-hearted, but let them rush into the camp. ”

"Bastard", although Yin Fang understood that what Xie Yun said was true, if the soldiers didn't fight, they were all farmers and hunters, how could they bear to attack children and the elderly.

But as the head of the current army, what he is concerned about is the life and death of thousands of Qin soldiers.

"It's a war! Xie Yun! I just want to say one thing, you go and tell your brothers that behind you are more than 10,000 of your own robes, and if you can't bear to attack the Rong people, you can kill your brothers with your own hands. ”

After that, ignoring Xie Yun, who was pale, he walked towards the front camp, because he had already seen that the soldiers of the front camp had rushed to the high ground outside the camp.

Xie Yun looked at the departing Yin Fang, stomped his feet and ran towards the rear camp.

Nine thousand soldiers continued to attack the Qin army's position, most of them were local tribal soldiers, and they were quite familiar with the terrain here, so whether it was a frontal attack or a sneak attack after a detour to the hillside defenders, it caused a large number of casualties among the Qin soldiers.

Even, in the cave where more than a dozen Qin soldiers were guarded by danger, from time to time, a few soldiers would drill out of the cave and easily kill the Qin soldiers.

The person who led the troops of the Rong people was none other than the commander of the ten thousand people, Mo Nanhu, and he looked at the situation in front of him and couldn't help but smile and nodded.

The Monan Tiger tribe has a total of nearly 70,000 soldiers and civilians, distributed in the western foothills of the Sumeru Mountains, and has not been mainly herding cattle for generations, but mainly relying on hunting to make a living.

Although his tribe is far inferior in number to several large tribes such as Zhezhe, Aru, and the dead Xiyan Buge, it is important that everyone, young and old, can fight with a bow, so he is also one of the tribes with a higher status in the Xia Kingdom.

And the head of the tribe, Monan Tiger, is not only extremely brave, but also quite smart.

Before, he was not too anxious to entangle with the main force of the Qin soldiers, but was close to the main force of the Qin soldiers, making them think that they were still far away from the Rong soldiers, and relaxed their vigilance.

This is exactly what the Monan Tiger tribe uses when hunting, keeping a distance from the prey, but not letting the prey slack off and waiting until the prey is exhausted to deliver a fatal blow.

It seems that in today's battle, he will definitely destroy the main force of the Qin soldiers.

What is the general of the Qin State, in his own eyes, he is really vulnerable, but those Qin soldiers still have some backbone, which made his full team of 10,000 people actually killed and injured nearly a thousand in the process of pursuit.

He especially remembered the dying struggles of those Qin soldiers under the wooden prison.

Nearly an hour has passed since the big battle in front of him, and most of the more than ten heights next to the Qin army's camp have been taken by his son.

It's just that the attack behind the Qin army's camp seems to have stagnated a little, and after nearly 20% of the men and horses were killed and wounded, the rest of the women and children said that they were not willing to send them to death again.

Mo Nanhu was a little helpless, in fact, he didn't want to let the women and children of his tribe have any more losses, it didn't hurt if there were more deaths and injuries among those old people and children, but if the women died more, it would not be good news for his tribe.

Anyway, the attack on the Qin army is quite smooth at present. Simply, Mo Nanhu asked the remaining women, children and old people to no longer attack the Qin camp, but retreat one mile to prevent the Qin soldiers from escaping.

When he fell into a death battle on the high ground outside the camp, Yin Fang also sent a group of soldiers to support the Qin soldiers on the high ground, but he was intercepted by the Rong soldiers several times out of the camp, and seeing that he was about to fall into a bitter battle again, Yin Fang quickly withdrew it, and watched one after another high ground being occupied by the Rong soldiers.

It was only at this time that Yin Fang realized how terrible his understanding of the Rong people was.

Originally, he thought that although the Qin army was taken away by Wu Meng with 3,000 people, the remaining soldiers were also much more than the Rong people, and a large number of Rong soldiers were killed and injured under the stubborn defense, and even if they were not completely annihilated under the counterattack, they would win a big victory.

But this battle of more than an hour made him completely understand that with no formation against no formation, the combat effectiveness of the Rong people would be more than twice that of the Qin soldiers.

With mountain to mountain, the combat effectiveness of these Rong people will be more than ten times higher than that of the Qin soldiers.

In this land where the Rong people have been recuperating for generations, the number of people is no longer the only criterion for measuring the combat strength of both sides.

Looking at those soldiers who were extremely flexible on the hillside, flying up and down, killing left and right, Yin Fang couldn't help but regret his arrangement.

He then ordered the remaining sergeants on the hillside to withdraw to the camp.
