Four hundred miles north from Gaoliucheng, you can go to the hinterland of the northern grassland, that is, the border line of Inner Mongolia in later generations.

Four hundred miles to the west, you can reach the Tengger Desert, which is now Shuofang County.

Therefore, Xu Ding can completely see the situation in Wuyuan County, and the mobilization of soldiers and horses of the Northern Xiongnu is like a fictitious in his eyes, and it is all under control.

"Herald! Troops were sent north. Because of the distance, Xu Ding led the army of his headquarters to the north first.

Guo Jia, Lu Bu, Sun Ce and others in Beipingyi also rushed north.

Xu Ding went north for a hundred and fifty miles and stopped, and in the north it was all a vast grassland.

Two days later, Lü Bu and other 80,000 allied troops arrived.

In the big tent, Xu Ding is in the upper position, and the generals are present.

Xu Ding asked people to lift the sand table up, and then took the command pole and walked down, pointing to the plot on the sand table and said: "This is our position, the Northern Xiongnu can only take this one bayonet if they want to go south to Daijun, so I will go down here first, so as not to deceive the Huns." ”

"The general is wise, and he must be on guard against the Huns."

I haven't fought against the Northern Huns for almost two hundred years, and who knows if the Northern Huns will become cunning, so some people strongly agree with the plan that was made.

There is no problem strategically, this is something that everyone Devil Fruit agrees on.

After all, when it comes to strategy, who can compare to Xu Ding.

Xu Ding nodded, and then said: "According to the reconnaissance of our army, the main force of the Northern Xiongnu is about this position, and there are still two days to go, they are walking a little slowly, I estimate that the time of the general decisive battle will be slower, do you know why?" ”

Xu Ding's gaze swept towards everyone.

Sun Ce, Lu Bu and the others all showed doubts.

Only Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang seemed to think of something, but they didn't answer immediately.

Xu Ding first glanced at Zhou Yu, then looked at Zhuge Liang and asked, "Little guy, you can answer!" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, stood up, bowed to Xu Dingshi, and then replied after saluting everyone: "The Northern Xiongnu did this for no more than two reasons, one is to deliberately snub us, let us wait for a long time to frustrate the spirit of our army, and those who fight will be more patient and military."

If our army is impatient, the desire to fight will fall into passivity.

Second, the Northern Xiongnu may have other plans, such as sending a partial army from the flank, sparing our army to the north, and attacking our army together.

However, it was extremely difficult to do so, because the Northern Xiongnu needed to enter from Shanggu County, lay down Shanggu and Dai County, or enter Yanmen County from the west to block the back road of our army in the north.

So I think it's more likely that they will attack Juyong Pass to prepare for the next successful attack on the hinterland of Youzhou. ”

Everyone nodded their heads.

Seems to make sense.

Zhou Yu looked at Zhuge Liang in white, with a solemn look on his face.

Zhuge Liang is a member of the Jingzhou army, and there are such powerful juniors in Jingzhou, I am afraid that it will affect Yangzhou's attack on Jingzhou in the future.

As if sensing Zhou Yu's gaze, Zhuge Liang also threw a meaningful touch towards Zhou Yu.

Xu Ding observed the slight changes between the two, and also revealed a hint of imperceptible cunning.

Wang Ba is against mung beans, this is the intersection of fate.

"Very good, Zhuge Liang's analysis is very correct, it seems that the land of Jingchu has outstanding people and talents." Xu Ding closed the pole, and then said with a smile:

"In the first case, I don't think we need to worry, because all of you here are experienced in a hundred battles, and we will win this battle, whether the Northern Xiongnu come early or late, it will not have any effect on us, because they have slipped into the dust of history since the day they marched eastward.

The difference is only whether it is sooner or later to perish.

As for the second case, congratulations to Zhuge Liang, he was right, the Northern Huns sent 70,000 horsemen from the hinterland of the grassland to the direction of Shanggu County, of course, there is no need to be brave here, the enemy soldiers are ambushed by our army, I believe that there will be good news soon. ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

The Northern Xiongnu really sent a partial army to attack Juyong Pass.

It's really cunning.

On the one hand, we are asked to fight head-on, and on the other hand, we are playing sneak attacks.

"The general learned of the intentions of the Northern Xiongnu in advance, and he will definitely be able to set up a net and wipe out all of them."

"That's it, if the Northern Huns want to play yin with us, they will only eat the consequences!"

"But general, if you send a part of your soldiers and horses to ambush the 70,000 people of the Northern Huns in Shanggu County, then how many soldiers and horses are available for our head-to-head showdown, it won't affect the overall situation."

Someone asked worriedly: "General, how are you going to arrange our army, how to arrange the troops to fight against the Northern Xiongnu." ”

An army of 600,000 men confronted each other.

Just thinking about it is terrifying.

There are more than 10,000 people, 600,000 people, and it needs a very wide place to unfold, and that person is bound to be vast when he is scattered on the grassland.

Who is the main and who is the auxiliary?

Whoever is on top is in front, and who is in the back.

That's where it comes in.

Everyone looked at Xu Ding.

Xu Dingdao: "Fifty miles to the north is the area that I think is more conducive to the decisive battle, its terrain is flat, suitable for the deployment of large armies, and there is a mountain range in the southwest, called Huanghua Mountain, which can hide soldiers."

In this battle, our Donglai army is the main force to fight against the Northern Xiongnu in the front, and will divide into two partial armies, one is mainly an infantry regiment, which is ambushed between the Huanghua Mountains in advance, and when the Northern Xiongnu is defeated, they will come out to intercept and kill the Northern Xiongnu.

The other is mainly cavalry, in the northeast of our army, as soon as I send a signal, we must go west with all our strength to intercept the enemy soldiers fleeing to the north, and at the same time detour back to the back of the Northern Huns as much as possible to encircle, of course, the number of this force will not be too much, and there is no need to really block the rout, the purpose is to intercept and kill as much as possible and help the pursuing troops leave more enemies. ”

"The Donglai army is fighting head-on with the Northern Huns, I admire Lu Bu, and my state army is mainly cavalry, so I will be the partial army in the northeast, and my foot soldiers are willing to be handed over to the general to command." Lu Bu stood up and said.

In total, he brought with him eighteen thousand men and horses.

There weren't many cavalry, only 4,000 men, and the rest were all foot soldiers.

Moreover, these 4,000 horsemen are not all wolf horsemen in the state, many of them are recruited and expanded in the Central Plains.

Xu Dingdao: "General Lu is righteous, and the wolf cavalry in Bingzhou is a light cavalry, and it is most suitable to be placed here, but in view of the fact that your iron cavalry is still a little less, and it is a little thin, so I will send my seventh lieutenant of Donglai to complete this task with General Lu." ”

Huang Zhong stood up at this time and said, "Huang Zhong takes the order!" ”

After speaking, he also gave his hand to Lu Bu, and Lu Bu was extremely satisfied.

Needless to say, Huang Zhong's strength was not enough to say, he didn't win against him back then, and now he is fighting side by side against the Huns.

And Xu Ding was willing to send a formed cavalry for him to command, and he paid enough attention to him.

"Lu Bu takes the order!" Lu Bu had a move in his heart, and he hugged his fists and officially received the order.

Zhuge Liang and Wen Ping glanced at each other, Wen Ping saw Zhuge Liang bowing slightly, so he also stood up and said: "General Lu is so arrogant, then my Jingzhou army is not talented, and I am willing to go to Huanghua Mountain to wait for the time to move, and intercept and kill the defeated Hun rout." ”

It's a sure-fire deal.

Zhou Yu was also anxious when he saw Wen Ping, and hurriedly gave Sun Ce a look, but Sun Ce didn't seem to notice it, and his eyes stared at the sand table to reveal the raging flames of war.

Zhou Yu bumped into him lightly, and Sun Ce came back to his senses, but said: "Bo Fu, the Jingzhou army likes to be a shrinking turtle, let them go, we will follow the main army to defeat the Northern Huns!" ”

Zhou Yu still wanted to say something, but at this time Xu Dingyi said: "Yes, Huanghuashan will be dominated by the Jingzhou army, and at the same time, I am deploying all the rebel armies in Yanzhou and Yuzhou under the command of your department, and my Donglai army will also have a special team of 2,000 people to help." ”

Wen Ping said: "It's a general, Wen Ping will definitely complete the task, if there is a mistake, come and see you." ”

There are 22,000 Jingzhou troops, 2,000 in addition to Donglai, and in addition to the rebel army in the other two states, it is almost 30,000.

With so many soldiers and horses, Wen Ping Yijing is quite satisfied.

After all, it is a partial army, and it is still attacking when the enemy is defeated, if there is still an opinion in this way, then it will be a calf.

"The other generals and armies will follow me to meet the frontal attack of the Northern Xiongnu, and I hope that you can unite sincerely and not slacken." Xu Ding glanced at the past and said:

"Next, I will make detailed troop deployments and communication between the various armies......

The Jingzhou army had 30,000 horses along the way, and because they wanted to ambush into the mountain, they set out that night and hid in Huanghua Mountain.

Lu Bu, Huang Zhong and other horsemen also set up camp the next day and re-camped in the eastern direction.

The belated army of the Northern Huns stopped forty miles away!

"Report! Shan Yu, the main force of the Han army stopped at the mountain pass into Daijun, and set up the camp in the middle of the road out of the grassland, and the camp was built very large and strong, and it was almost impossible to cross the past. The Northern Huns came back and said.

Frustrated Qu Lielie asked, "How many men and horses does the Han army have?" ”

"About 1230,000." The person who returned thought for a while and said: "The Han army is divided into two battalions, of which the infantry is mainly camped in the south of the road, and the cavalry is mainly camped in the northeast thirty miles. ”

"It's only 1230,000 horses, I thought there were at least 200,000, and it's really a bluff." Frustrated Qu Lie smiled disdainfully:

"With such a small number of soldiers and horses, he dared to divide his troops, who gave him the courage, he was really arrogant."

"Shan Yu, I guess it's the Han people who are putting up some kind of dragon gate array, so they are making a mystery."

At the moment, there were also Northern Xiongnu generals who mocked.

Almost 400,000 against the opponent's 1230,000 horses, the Han people still dare to be divided into two battalions.

Then another general of the Northern Xiongnu stood up and said: "Shan Yu asked me to take 50,000 elite cavalry to destroy the Han cavalry first, and burn the Han camp in the northeast." ”

Frustrated, Lielie was a little nervous.

50,000 fought 10,000, and the Han cavalry lost.

Although there was a Han who arrived at Wuhu in the past, it was the Han people who had strong crossbows, which made the Hun cavalry suffer.

Now my Great Huns are also equipped with strong crossbows and crossbows, are you still afraid of Han cavalry?

Even if there are losses, they are within a controllable three or four thousand.

Eliminating the Han cavalry in advance is conducive to the impact and encirclement of the Han army's foot soldiers, as well as the pursuit.

Just when he wanted to agree, at this time, Luan Ti called Chuquan out and said: "Shan Yu is careful of the tricks of the Han thieves, this Xu Xiang is cunning and cunning, and even the Han people have suffered a big loss in his hands, so they can't attack easily." ”

Frustrated Qu Lielie looked at Luan Tihu Chuquan with a suspicious face: "You mean, Xu Ding has an ambush and deliberately leads me to attack?" ”

"That's right, Shan Yu, Xu Ding has several cavalry in his hands, the number of people is no less than 30,000, and now there are only 10,000, and there will be explosions among them." Luan Tihu Chuquan analyzed.

Frustrated Qu Lielie said: "Then how do you think you should deal with the Han army?" ”

"Shan Yu, don't pay attention to this Han cavalry, as long as the main infantry regiment of the Han army is defeated and defeated, we have time to catch cat and mouse and play slowly." Luan Tihu Chuquan suggested.

Frustrated and fierce, he did not immediately give an answer or decision.

The other Northern Hun generals were also silent.

Rationally analyzed, Luan Tihu Chuquan said very reasonably.

But after some thought, he said in frustration: "Even if what you said is right, but why am my Great Huns afraid of the Han army and Han cavalry, if there is an ambush, they will still be defeated, and the cavalry of 30,000 people, even if all come out, the cavalry of my Great Huns will let them have no return." ”

"Shan Yu is extremely true, or Shan Yu is wise, Shan Yu let me go."

"I'm willing to go, I want to see how strong Han Qi is."

At present, there are many Northern Xiongnu generals who ask for war.

Fuqu Lielie nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, if you are worthy of being my Great Hun soldiers, I will give you 80,000 horses, give me to break through the cavalry camp of the Han army, and defeat the cavalry of the Han army first." ”

"It's Shan Yu!"

A group of Northern Xiongnu generals were excited and excited, and a few threw a sneer at Luan Tihu Chuquan.

Shan Yu is their Shan Yu, you Southern Xiongnu are just one of our dogs, how can Shan Yu listen to dogs.

Of course, it's not that Luan Ti Hu Chuquan said that it is unreasonable and wrong, but that Qu Lielie felt that he had to wipe the combat effectiveness of the Donglai Army first.

The cavalry first tested the strength and details of a certain amount.

This is good for the Armageddon, after all, it is a duel of hundreds of thousands of horses, and it is impossible to come up and fight hand-to-hand, so you have to have a small contest first.

Whether it is to find out the strength of the other side or to find out the temper and character of the commander-in-chief, it is extremely important.

That night, the 80,000 cavalry of the Xiongnu quietly marched north, bypassing the main camp of the Han army, and then went south to the Han cavalry camp.

In terms of time, when they arrived at the camp of the Han cavalry, it was just when the sky was dawning.

This is the time when people are most tired.

The cold wind pierced through the bones, and the earth was hazy.

The light on the horizon is just enough for people to see hundreds of meters away, and of course they can be seen five or six miles away on the grassland.

But it's a vague shadow.

"Charge!"

The elite of the 80,000 cavalry Huns headquarters, seeing the shadow of the Han cavalry battalion, finally stopped being silent, drew out the war knife that had been cold all night, and urged the war horse to charge and attack.

But the outstretched hand was frozen red.

After walking on the grassland for a night, although it was slow, I stayed up all night, and my body was somewhat stiff and my blood was blocked.

Groin. The war horses were even more because they had walked all night, and they had little rest, and their spirits were not very high.

He was also weak when he started to charge.

It was only when the Hun soldiers drew their whips that they hissed, gasped out of breath, opened their four hooves, and ran.

The cold wind blowing like a knife in the face was extremely painful.

However, the Northern Huns were extremely excited.

Because they are about to capture the Han cavalry camp, they are going to fight against the Han army, a century-old enemy they have never met.

"For the Great Huns!"

"For the Great Huns!"

The iron horse glacial river fell into a dream, the rumbling war horse, the shock was ten miles away to make people uneasy, 80,000 Hun cavalry Cheng Yan zigzag like a torrent of steel rushed towards the Han cavalry camp poured out............
