"Where is the main force of Captain Wuheng now?" Standing in front of the sand table, Zhang Yue asked Sima Xuan.

"Returning to the servant Zhonggong, the last general just got the military report this afternoon, and the main force of our department has already wandered here......" Sima Xuan said with a finger pointing to a place on the sand table.

Zhang Yue looked over and found that it was a grassland located in the southeast of Yanze, about 150 to 180 miles.

"Where's Captain Changshui?" Zhang Yue asked Xu Xiangru again: "Where is the main force of Captain Changshui now?" ”

"Shizhong, the main force of our department has advanced to this place at present......" Xu Xiangru smiled a little on the sand table, which was next to a swamp about one hundred and twenty miles west of Shiozawa.

Zhang Yue nodded, looking at the sand table.

At present, the two main forces of the Han family are like two iron fists, firing bows left and right, flanking the Hun cavalry that entered the south of the country.

If it weren't for the need to lure the enemy deeper before, I am afraid that the Huns would have been exchanged fire by now.

"It's the 28th ...... of March in the spring of the second year of Yanhe" Zhang Yue looked at the two of them and said, "Before the first day of the fourth month, will Captain Wuheng and Captain Changshui be able to complete the encirclement of Yanze?" ”

Xu Xiangru and Sima Xuan looked at each other, a little hesitant.

In terms of troops, in fact, the current Han army does not have the ability to completely encircle the Hun cavalry in the Yanze area.

The art of war says that ten will encircle it, five will attack it, and if it is doubled, it will be fought, and the enemy will be divided.

And now the total strength of the Han army, even compared with this lone army of the Xiongnu Guyan Wancai, is inferior.

Estimated based on scout scouts and reports these days.

The total strength of the Huns who entered the south of the curtain was at least 5,000.

Even if it is deducted, the Huns will usually carry, with service and miscellaneous slave soldiers.

Its combat strength will not be less than 3,500.

This is already equivalent to the total strength of the Han army.

In such a battle situation, I want to encircle and annihilate this enemy army.

It is necessary to use Wu Hengyi to participate in the attack, or wait for the reinforcements of the Flying Fox Army to converge before fighting a siege and annihilation battle.

Otherwise, if you attack rashly, you are likely to pay a lot of casualties, and you may not even be able to eat the opponent in one bite.

These days of reconnaissance have made Sima Xuan similar to Xu, and he also has a certain intuitive understanding of this Hun cavalry.

Its marching columns, marching speed, organization, and order are not the Hun armies encountered by the Han army in the past.

Except for the difference in height, clothing, and hairstyle, they almost resembled a replica of the Han cavalry.

And it is an elite main cavalry that can be called elite even in the Juyan region - even the war horses of these Huns are all Wusun horses!

The shoulder height is generally more than 6 feet 7 inches.

There is even no shortage of superlatives over seven feet!

On the other hand, the Han army, in addition to the war horses brought by Captain Changshui, is a Wusun horse, a sweaty horse and wild horses collected and found from all over the country, and the improved military horses after hybridization can be comparable to them.

The military horses used by the cavalry of the commander of Wuheng Du, even if they were ridden by officers, were only six feet three inches to six feet seven inches.

Sima Xuan's own mount was only six feet five inches.

The disadvantage of the horse breed is already quite obvious.

In addition to military horses, in terms of weapons and equipment, the Han army may not be superior.

The results of the scout's reconnaissance were told to the top of the Han army.

This Hun cavalry had a heavy cavalry of at least 800 horsemen.

All weapons are fish scale armor and heavy halberds.

Coupled with the fact that they rode the best Wusun horses, this heavy cavalry had the ability to compete with the Han army.

At the moment, the only definite advantage of the Han army.

It's the agility and long-range firepower of the horseshoe, stirrup, and saddle.

However, this advantage, which can play a role in tackling tough problems, will be greatly affected.

Combining these factors, Sima Xuan and Xu Xiangru no longer dared to pack tickets to encircle and annihilate this Hun cavalry.

There is no way, the war thing, if it works, it works, and if it doesn't work, it doesn't work.

As a general, you must not only think about victory or defeat.

He is also responsible for the lives of his subordinates.

Although it is said that Ci is not in charge of the army.

However, a general who does not care about the lives of his subordinates will be abandoned!

Therefore, after thinking about it for a long time, Sima Xuan and Xu Xiangru both bowed to Zhang Yue and said: "Return to serve the Zhonggong, the last general and others should be able to encircle the enemy of Yanze on time......"

"But ......"

"In a hurry, I'm afraid it will be difficult to annihilate the besieged enemy!"

It's a fact.

It is also an objectively existing reality.

Even if they brought all the Wu Hengyi servants, the Han army would not hesitate to storm the besieged enemy.

I want to destroy this besieged enemy army in three or five days.

It's almost impossible.

Even if it could, the price that the Han army would have to pay would be unbearable!

Whether it is Captain Huwu Hengdu or Captain Changshui, I am afraid that they will completely lose their combat capability after this war.

As cannon fodder, Wu Heng Yicong will suffer most of the casualties!

This is still the most optimistic estimate.

"The envoy understands!" Zhang Yue looked at the two with a smile and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, the two generals don't worry, the envoy will urge and force the two to attack!" ”

Zhang Yuecai was not stupid enough to use brute force to attack an enemy army that was defending against danger.

Fools do this kind of thing.

In any case, the essence of war is to destroy as much as possible the enemy's living forces, and at the same time preserve the living forces of our army.

"Two generals, just make sure that the encircled Hun cavalry can't highlight the encirclement that our army has constructed for them......" Zhang Yue drew the saber at his waist and lightly drew a circle on the sand table.

In the center of the circle is Shiozawa.

"Two generals, please look, as long as our army can ensure that the main force of the Huns' Guyan King will not be able to break through and drag them here......" Zhang Yue smiled: "It's summer soon......"

Summers get hotter and hotter.

There will also be more and more food and water needed by people and horses.

In the Shiozawa area, everything is good, but there is a lack of water and grass.

The local ecology is simply impossible to maintain an army of thousands of people and the tens of thousands of horses they carry, and the daily consumption of them.

As long as you can trap them and drag them down.

The Han army didn't even need to do anything.

You can wait for the enemy to die on its own.

There is such a thing as time, Zhang Yue has.

But how many can there be?

If nothing else, the army of the Void Flame can only hold out in Shiozawa for five days at most.

After five days, there will be a shortage of water, grass and food.

When Xu Xiangru and Sima Xuan heard this, their eyes lit up.

But all of a sudden, I started to worry again.

"What the waiter said is not unreasonable...... Sima Xuan asked, "However, Wei Lu will definitely come to the rescue!" ”

There is no doubt about it.

Xuyan is Shan Yu's younger brother.

His Guyan Wancai was the most elite cavalry of the Huns.

Once he is left in the south of the scene, Wei Lu returns to Mobei, what will he take to explain to Hulugu?

Even if Hulu Gu is willing to forgive Wei Lu, the Huns, who are short-tempered and have never liked Wei Lu and others, will inevitably clamoring and jumping.

So, it's not possible.

Instead, they will definitely do whatever it takes to desperately rescue the troops of the Void Rebellion.

He would do it even if he wiped out all his troops.

Zhang Yue smiled slightly, and said: "This envoy will be the commander Wu Hengyi from 5,000 people, so far snipe the source of the Hun cavalry!" ”

He stretched out his hand and tapped lightly on the sand table, which was the passage between the south of the curtain and the cliff plain—a passage composed of sand and wilderness, at least dozens of miles deep and at least a hundred miles wide.

Here, the terrain is flat, and there are almost no hills or dense forests.

Some are just wind, sand and scorching sun.

Xu Xiangru and Sima Xuan glanced at each other, and they both exclaimed: "You can't serve the princess!" ”

"It's too risky!"

Not to mention, the combat effectiveness of the Wuheng people made them really unreassured.

In the face of the fierce attack of the Huns, Xu Xiangru and Sima Xuan were very worried that these people might not last long.

"Don't worry!" Zhang Yue smiled and said, "The envoy has his own plans!" ”

If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get a tiger?

If you want to eat honey, you have to be prepared to be stung by bees!

In terms of strategic choices, this is the only feasible option at the moment.

Once Xuyan and Wei Lu are allowed to join forces, then, even if the Flying Fox Army arrives, Zhang Yue will not have much chance to annihilate Wei Lu and Wei Yanyu's army.

At most, eat some bits and pieces, disgusting and disgusting each other.

As for the subsequent strategies and plans, they will be completely frustrated.

Putting this cavalry with a total strength of 10,000 back to Mobei is equivalent to letting the tiger return to the mountain.

Zhang Yue will not have the opportunity to follow the path that the idol has walked, and once again seal the wolf in Xu Mountain.

So, this risk, it's worth the risk!

"General Continuation!" Zhang Yue looked at the continuation and said, "This envoy will replenish two thousand Wu Hengyi and the general, and then take away the heavy cavalry under the general!" ”

Captain Changshui, with a heavy cavalry of 500 people in the Sima Division.

After the battle of Suze, this heavy cavalry was damaged.

At present, there are about 450 or more available troops.

Zhang Yue himself selected warriors from the Wuheng people and elites from his entourage, and he could form an elite force of about 800 to 1,000 people.

In this way, the strategic task of sniping Wei Lu and putting them on the cliff plain has a high probability of being completed.

Hearing this, he hurriedly bowed his head and said, "The general in the waiter, the general will not dare to question ......"

"It's just...... The last general wants to ask the servant to think about it again......"

"For example, the task of encircling the enemy army was given to the Wuheng people, and the last general and General Sima led the troops to snipe Wei Lu......"

Zhang Yue shook his head and said with a smile: "General Xu doesn't need to persuade anymore, the envoy has already decided to do so!" ”

Let the Wuheng people take on the task of encirclement?

How can it be?!

With the professional level of these people, Zhang Yue felt that he was determined to break through.

The Wuheng people are likely to be unable to stop low.

In that case, it's really the center of the flower.

Therefore, this matter must be handed over to the Han army to carry out.

As for sniper missions?

It looks very difficult, and the Wuheng people don't seem to be very reliable.

But......

Zhang Yue believed that he was here, plus the elite heavy cavalry drawn from Captain Changshui.

It can be done!

Because, he intends to use a trick that no one has ever used in his contemporary.
