A few hours later, Peng Yue sent someone to invite Ye Tong, saying that the roast mutton had been prepared and that it was time to go back to eat. Ye Tong did find that he was really hungry, and he didn't eat after the First World War in the morning, and it was all afternoon. It seems that the soldiers' rejoicing is over.

After eating and drinking, the army set off, escorting nearly 80,000 prisoners, millions of sheep, and 200,000 horses to the direction of Yanmen Pass.

Ye Tong didn't dare to be careless, so he sent a number of scouts to reconnoiter the surroundings, and found that there were Xiongnu tribes who had drawn a map and waited for the army to come and destroy them.

A few days later, the army was only a few tens of kilometers away from Yanmen Pass, and ran into a patrol of the border army at Yanmen Pass. Ye Tong sent 2,000 infantry to escort the captives, sheep, and horses, and followed the border army patrol back to Yanmen Pass, while Ye Tong himself took the rest of the soldiers and horses to kill the Xiongnu tribe again.

There is no way, during the period of hegemony in the Central Plains, the Xiongnu tribe cannot be allowed to live near Yanmen Pass. Once the Huns invaded, Ye Tong could not draw troops and horses to resist, so he had to drive the Huns to the depths of the north first, and then settle accounts with the Huns after the war in the Central Plains was over.

The Xiongnu tribe near Yanmen Pass was killed by death and destroyed a large tribe. More than a dozen small and medium-sized tribes immediately packed their bags and fled north, fearing that death would chase them.

Ye Tong's army escorted the 80,000 Xiongnu captives, delayed for a few days, and allowed some Xiongnu tribes to escape. Ye Tong didn't care, his purpose was to drive the Huns to the north, and it was in line with his intention to escape.

Next, Ye Tong did not drag down, and quickly chased and killed the fleeing Xiongnu tribe. The Tushen led by Ye Tong rode one person and two horses, and the Xiongnu tribe dragged their families and led their mouths, driving cattle, sheep, and horses, and the speed was definitely slow, and they were caught up before they escaped far.

There is no nonsense, just lead the army to kill it. The Xiongnu tribe, who had no will to fight, just wanted to escape, there was the opponent of the Qin army, as long as they caught up, they couldn't escape from the clutches, and they were either directly killed or captured.

For several days in a row, more than a dozen small and medium-sized Xiongnu tribes were wiped out, and there were not many prisoners, and many of them fled. Less than 100,000 people were captured, but too many cattle, sheep, and horses were captured, nearly 3 million sheep, tens of thousands of cattle, and more than 200,000 horses.

The horses of the northern Huns, of poor quality, were bantam horses, small in physique, and short in height. It is definitely not good to use it for cavalry, Ye Tong can't look down on it, and thinks that the Hequ horse is better. However, this short horse has one advantage, its endurance is particularly good.

After on-the-spot testing, Ye Tong felt that it could be used for load-bearing, as an auxiliary horse for assault cavalry and light cavalry. In peacetime, soldiers ride bantam horses, and in battle, they change to meandering horses. At the same time, this bantam horse can be used to pull chariots, ballistas, and carriages, and is a good transport horse.

After more than ten days of pursuit, the Xiongnu tribes near Yanmen Pass basically fled, and Ye Tong immediately sent Jinyi guards and scouts to reconnoiter farther areas in the north.

Ye Tong led the army to escort the captives, cattle, sheep, and horses to retreat in the direction of Yanmen Pass. A few days later, scouts and Jinyi guards returned to report that there were a large number of Xiongnu tribes further to the north, and there seemed to be signs of gathering.

After thinking about it for a while, Ye Tong thought that he had moved a little too big and scared the Huns. In addition, in winter, many grassland tribes will move south, and then move north after the beginning of spring, which seems to be a habit. Therefore, the plundering of the border areas of the Central Plains by the steppe peoples generally occurs in late autumn and winter.

Ye Tong combined the reconnaissance detachments, Jin Youwei and other reconnaissance situations and maps, and began to think about the map.

The Xiongnu tribes gathered, on the one hand, to resist the Qin army, and on the other hand, there was the possibility of going south. In addition, Ye Tong's army hunted on the grassland during this time, which angered the Huns, and it was very likely that they would go south to take revenge.

Ye Tong knew in his heart that the Huns could not be allowed to go south at this time, Ye Tong had insufficient soldiers and horses in his hands, and he could not resist hundreds of thousands of Hun iron cavalry with these 30,000 soldiers and horses in his hands.

Once hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu horsemen went south and invaded the Central Plains, the people of Yanhuang would be greatly harmed. This kind of thing must not be allowed to happen, and the Huns must be prevented from moving south.

Ye Tong has been thinking about it, and when everyone is resting at night, Ye Tong is still thinking about how to stop the Huns from going south.

Ye Tong thought of countless plans, but none of them were satisfied, and Ye Tong, who was extremely depressed, put on a windbreaker and walked out of the big tent. Walking slowly in the camp, stepping on the withered grass under his feet, the southwest wind blew on his face, a chill hit his body, and Ye Tong's head was sober.

Ye Tong squatted on the ground, gently supported the dead grass on the ground with his hand, a look of excitement appeared on his face, stood up, and checked the direction of the wind, it was a southwest wind, blowing in the northeast direction. That's not to say that you can consider burning the prairie with fire and turning the prairie into a sea of fire in one fell swoop.

The excited Ye Tong returned to the big tent and asked the internal guards to call Bai Lixin, Peng Yue and the others.

The night was called deeper, and if it was anyone else, it would have been sprayed wildly. The problem is that Ye Tong called, and things were different. Generally, Ye Tong rarely wakes up others at night, only in special circumstances.

Everyone entered the big tent, Ye Tong didn't talk nonsense, and said straight to the point: "General Ben is going to make a large-scale attack on the Huns, forcing the Huns to continue to flee to the north, so that in a short time, there will be no danger in the Yanmen Pass area, and the people in the border areas will not be plundered by the Huns." ”

Bai Lixin frowned, and said puzzledly: "Lord, we have limited troops in our hands, and a large-scale attack is afraid that it will not work." Once it fell into the hundreds of thousands of iron cavalry of the Huns, there was a danger of annihilation. ”

Peng Yuexiang persuaded: "My lord, my humble position is clear, the Huns going south will be extremely harmful to Yanmen Pass, and the border people will be burned, killed and plundered. The problem is that our troops are really a little small, 30,000 soldiers and horses against hundreds of thousands of Hun iron cavalry, we really can't fight. ”

Hehe!

"Don't worry, everyone! The general does not need to send 30,000 soldiers and horses, only 10,000 soldiers and horses are enough, and the other 20,000 soldiers and horses are responsible for escorting prisoners, cattle, sheep, and horses back to Yanmen Pass. ”

Yes!

Inappropriate!

No way!

Ye Tong's words frightened all the participants, and they all exclaimed, and then looked at Ye Tong stupidly. Everyone knows that Ye Tong will not talk nonsense for no reason, there must be a plan that he doesn't know.

Bai Lixin asked: "Lord, you tell the plan first, let everyone listen to it, and then decide." ”

Hehe!

"Haven't you noticed that it is now the middle of winter?"

Bai Lixin said: "Lord, entering the mid-winter season, everyone knows that this has anything to do with fighting the Huns?" ”

"Who said it doesn't matter, the grass on the grassland will become dead grass as soon as it enters the winter, and the southwest wind is basically blowing in winter, once we set fire to the grassland, everyone imagine what the scene will be like?"

Poof!

Whisper!

You don't have to think about it, you immediately understand what the ending will be. In the face of the fire, the Huns had no choice but to flee, and stop thinking about those cattle and sheep, they would definitely be engulfed by the fire. It's good if people can escape. Who can take care of cattle and sheep when the time comes?

The Huns who have no cattle and sheep can survive the cold winter!

Poof!

Bai Lixin whispered: "Lord, is this plan too vicious?" ”

", what is poisonous, and it is necessary to emphasize benevolence, righteousness and morality to the Hun barbarian nation? Do you forget how many Yan and Huang people killed and plundered the border areas when the Huns went south every year, and what do you say now, remember, benevolence, righteousness and morality are against the descendants of Yan and Huang. ”

"My lord, I'm sorry! Lapsus linguae. ”

"Alright, now let's look at the specific plan of action."

After a detailed vacuum, various plans and unexpected situations were discussed, and it was finally decided to let Bai Lixin lead 10,000 turquoise cavalry and 8,000 infantry to escort the prisoners, cattle, sheep, and horses to retreat. Ye Tong and Peng Yue each led 5,000 cavalry to implement the plan.

A few days after Bai Lixin led the army away, Ye Tong and Peng Yue arrived at the predetermined place with 10,000 horsemen, and then separated, deciding to implement the plan late tomorrow night.

Ye Tong took out countless fire oil from the ring, distributed it to the soldiers, brought the fireware and stones, and began to wait in the area where the Huns gathered at night.

Ye Tong saw through the telescope that hundreds of thousands, millions of Huns were gathered in this area, which was really a godsend. It's usually too difficult to find such a good opportunity, and it's not easy to come across it. It seems that God will punish the Huns!

This is only what Shi Tong can see in the telescope, and there are more distant areas that Ye Tong can't see. Ye Tong knew in his heart that the slightly farther area must have a large number of Xiongnu tribes, after all, this place has gone far into the north and is the territory of the Huns.

Raising his hand to look at the table below, he found that he was almost close to the implementation plan, so he immediately gave orders to the people around him and prepared to light the fire. When the time came, Ye Tong took the lead in lighting the fire, pouring the oil on the ground and igniting it. Then go to the next arson point and continue the same action.

More than ten minutes later, a raging fire broke out in the entire grassland, lighting up the sky. Ye Tong and his party are not over yet, and they have to continue to set fires to other places.

It was an absolutely shocking plan, and the whole plan was hundreds of kilometers of arson lines, and once ignited, thousands of kilometers of fire lines would soon spread across the grasslands.

The Huns in their sleep were devastated, and the raging grassland fire was rapidly approaching, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and the flames were as high as dozens of zhang in some places. In particular, the fire swelled as it passed through an area with trees.

Countless Xiongnu tribes were frightened and panicked, and some Huns still wanted to rescue cattle and sheep, but they didn't grab a few minutes, and found that the fire was getting closer and closer, and they might be buried in the sea of fire if they didn't leave, and they were unwilling to flee unwillingly.

Fire and water are ruthless, and manpower is difficult to resist.

Millions of Huns gave up their belongings, cattle and sheep, and at most ran away with horses, and other tents and other things, don't think about it, they can't take it away, and they don't have time to dismantle it.

In the afternoon of the next day, Ye Tong and all the soldiers met, but they still lost dozens of soldiers, and it was estimated that they were buried in the fire. Even Ye Tong was almost burned by his own fire, there was no way; The wind direction will change, and Ye Tong cannot control the wind direction.

Ye Tong knew in his heart that this arson actually did not burn many Huns, at most more than 100,000 peaks. The problem was that millions of Huns' cattle, sheep, tents, and supplies were burned to the ground. Flee to the farther north, how to survive the winter!

The further north you go, the colder it gets, which is something that even fools understand. It is in this way that the Huns will migrate south every year, one is to spend the winter; The second is to plunder the Yanhuang border areas of the Central Plains.
