At dusk, Yang Lie's brows were still tightly locked, obviously not very satisfied with the results of the battle during the day today, except for the annihilation of the three thousand cavalry of Rouran in the morning, not only did he get nothing in the afternoon, but he also let Hu Qianfu's growth and half of the horses be lost in the hands of the Rouran people.

Wei Jing looked at Yang Lie's bitter and hateful expression, and couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Hahaha······"

Yang Lie turned his head to look at Wei Jing, quite dissatisfied: "I said His Royal Highness King Jing, what's so funny about this?" We are now grasshoppers on a rope, the war is not going well, although I Yang someone will be punished by His Majesty, I am afraid that your life will be better! ”

Wei Jing shook his head: "Yang Lie, Yang Lie, it's just a loss, not like this!" Although the battle in the afternoon did not cause much damage to the Rouran army, your tactics successfully delayed the movement of the Rouran army, and they only walked less than thirty miles in total from the afternoon to the present, which is also a credit! ”

"Also, the Rouran people are now frightened birds, as long as our army makes a slight move, the Rouran people are scared and nervous, I think they must be extremely tired now! I've sent someone to infiltrate the vicinity of the Rouran Army to investigate, trying to find the loopholes and flaws in their camp! ”

Seeing that it was getting dark, a knight rode a fast horse and ran in this direction.

"King Qijing, general, General Chang has led the army to the southeast twenty miles, and sent a messenger to deliver the message, ordering the two to go to the discussion!"

Wei Jing nodded and said to Yang Lie: "Let's go, General Yang, General Chang has arrived, and the burden on you and me can also be lifted!" ”

Yang Lie smiled bitterly: "Leaving a mess for General Chang Da is not a good thing!" ”

The two explained the military affairs to the adjutant general, and rode together to Chang Kun's army.

By the time they arrived at the camp of Changkun's army, it was already completely dark, and the two were interrogated by the cavalry patrolling nearby before they were allowed to approach the camp.

After arriving at the camp, he was led to the big tent of the Chinese army, and after being reported, he entered the tent.

"Wei Jing and Yang Lie meet the general!" The two saluted Chang Kun together.

Chang Kun got up and raised his hand: "Excuse me!" ”

After the two of them straightened up, Chang Kun hugged his fists to Wei Jing and said, "The last general will meet His Royal Highness King Jing!" ”

Wei Jing immediately said: "In the army, military rank and rank are the greatest, and General Chang doesn't have to be like this!" ”

"Don't waste your courtesy!" Chang Kun straightened up as he spoke, and said to the two: "The two of you came just in time, my camp is having dinner, presumably the two of you haven't eaten either, let's sit down first." Come on, bring food to His Royal Highness King Jing and General Yang! ”

"Thank you, General!"

The meal was very open, and Chang Kun and his generals and Wei Jing, Yang Lie and others talked about things while eating.

"I already know about today's battle, and your majesty has sent someone to give me an order before dusk, and before the arrival of your majesty's army, the battle ahead will be under my command for the time being, and you two will be temporarily controlled by me and at my disposal, is there a problem?" Chang Kun looked at Wei Jing and Yang Lie after speaking.

The two immediately put down the food in their hands and stood up and saluted: "The last general obeys!" ”

Chang Kun nodded, pressed his hand and motioned for them to sit down and continue eating.

He continued: "Your Royal Highness King Jing, I heard that you are in charge of reconnaissance and spying and cutting off the spying of the Rouran army on our army's military intelligence, but is there such a thing? ”

Wei Jing stood up and clenched his fists and replied: "Exactly, the general can only give orders if he has something!" ”

"Okay, I want you to send the terrain, armament, and vigilance of the Rouran army camp over before the hour, I want to use it!"

"Yes!"

Chang Kun said to Yang Lie again: "General Yang, your men and horses have been tired in the past two days, and they have not rested, you are responsible for resting tonight, I want you to recharge your energy tonight, and your people will be of great use tomorrow!" ”

Yang Lie stood up and agreed: "Obey!" ”

Next, Chang Kun asked Wei Jing and Chang Kun some details about the battle with the Rouran Army today, and they asked very clearly in every fight.

After dinner, the deliberations were over, Wei Jing and Yang Lie quickly rushed back to the army to preside, and soon Wei Jing sent someone to send the news of the Rouran army camp to Chang Kun's desk.

Chang Kun read the news of the military situation in the Rouran military camp sent by Wei Jing, and thought about formulating a plan for a night attack.

It can be seen from the news sent by Wei Jing that the scouts of the cadre army failed to sneak into the camp of the Rouran army, after all, the time was too hasty, and the people of Rouran were also heavily guarded, and it was not ordinarily difficult to sneak into the camp.

Therefore, Chang Kun did not know what specific deployments the Rouran Army had in the camp, but their defensive measures on the periphery of the camp were fairly clear.

"Who would believe that a cavalry army of 20,000 men used infantry to set up camp defenses?" Chang Kun smiled and shook his head.

It can be seen that the Rouran people are also forced to have no choice, the grassland tribes have never set up defensive facilities inside and outside the camp, is the cavalry defense useful? If the attacking enemy has a large number of infantry, the defenses will be easily breached, no matter how strong they are.

The ranger outposts of the steppe tribes are very powerful, and the enemy is often discovered at a long distance, they have enough time to gather troops to meet the battle, and the steppe tribes rarely sneak up on the enemy camp at night.

Why? Because there is no road on the grassland, in the dim light at night, if they are not particularly familiar with the terrain, it is easy to get lost in the vast grassland, they will not know how to distinguish the direction by the location of the Big Dipper, and there is no compass to identify the direction.

However, at this time, all the soldiers and horses of the Qianran army's northern expedition were cavalry, and there was no infantry, so even if the defense facilities arranged by the Rouran people's camp were shoddy, the Qianran cavalry would not be able to kill them in a short time, and even if they did, it would be difficult to ensure that the Rouran people would not set up an ambush in the camp.

Chang Kun thought about it for a while and devised a plan for a night attack, only to harass the people, so that the Rouran people could not rest well and not seek to break the camp and kill the enemy.

In this night, the Rouran people did not rest well again, whether it was the first half of the night or the second half of the night, there were constantly small groups of Rouran cavalry outside the camp clamoring and galloping horses, from time to time there was a shout of killing, again and again the Rouran people were scared out of the camp tent to prepare for battle, and each time the cadres were not found to rush into the camp.

Rouran had no choice but to go into the tent to rest again, but it didn't take long for the shouts of killing, drumming and horses' hooves outside the camp to come again, and the Rouran people had to prepare for the battle again.

This went on and on all night, more frequent and more difficult to sleep than the previous night's assault.

The officers and soldiers of the Rouran army, who had not rested for two consecutive days, looked particularly tired on this morning, but from this morning, the Rouran people noticed that something was wrong, because the reconnaissance and cavalry detective posts of the Qianran army were getting closer and closer to the main army of Rouran, and they often observed the Rouran army at close range, once the Rouran people sent cavalry of more than 100 cavalry to surround them, they immediately withdrew, but waiting for the Rouran people must be the siege of several Qianjun cavalry in a building, and the Rouran cavalry had to retract in order to reduce losses. As soon as they retracted, the reconnaissance and reconnaissance posts of the cadres came again, which was unguardable.

Moreover, from this morning onwards, the number of tentative attacks by the Rouran army has increased, and the Rouran people do not know what the Qianguo people want to do, but the top leaders of Rouran, such as Tuga Zhen and Tan Wuye, quickly understood the purpose of the Qianran army's actions, and it turned out that the cadres wanted to expose the flaws of the Rouran army through frequent tentative attacks.

At the same time, Tuga Zhen, Tan Wuye, and others also understood that the cadres dared to do this because their main army had already arrived nearby, otherwise the cadres would not have had such courage.

At this afternoon, Toga Zhen had to order the army to stop advancing and camp on a high ground, because it was really impossible to go on, and the constant attacks of the cadres made the Rouran army have no way to do it, and made them nervous, and if they continued like this, the whole army might collapse.

In the Khan's tent, Tuga Zhen asked, "National Teacher, do we have any other way now?" ”

Tan Wuye sighed in his heart, he didn't expect this battle to be like this, he said: "Khan, now we are completely suppressed by the cadres in terms of momentum, and the morale of the soldiers and generals is not very high, if we want to turn the situation around, we must have a big victory to improve the morale and the momentum of our army!" Judging from the current situation, if we continue to withdraw our troops to the northwest, the cadres will definitely bite us to the death, and I am afraid that in a few days, the 20,000 men and horses will not be beaten by them, and we ourselves will collapse first! ”

"We don't seem to have any other good way at the moment, the poor monk has also observed it in the past few days, and we are only passive because we can't figure out the location of the enemy army at all, and we can't counterattack! The idea of the poor monk is to regain the right to reconnoiter the news, only by regaining the right to regain the right to reconnoiter the news, we can get the news of the enemy, and we can make targeted decisions! ”

After hearing this, Tuhe Zhen nodded and asked, "What is the national teacher going to do?" ”

Tan Wuye looked at one of the generals, "I think General Kuhehan knows better than me what to do in this regard?" ”

Everyone looked at Kuhehan, he thought for a moment and said: "I have observed, the cadre army sent many small groups of cavalry around us, these small groups of cavalry sometimes scattered in the tooth unit, or in the unit of the tithe, and sometimes gathered in the unit of 100 cavalry and buildings, the cadre army is through this arrangement to clear our reconnaissance and reconnaissance posts, so that our detective posts are surrounded and killed by these small groups of cavalry of the cadre army as soon as they leave the camp!" ”

"Therefore, in order to regain the right to regain the right of information reconnaissance, it is necessary to break this deployment of the cadre army, I can't think of a better way, the only way is to counteract in the same way, even if we can't break their deployment, but we can at least recapture a certain reconnaissance range!"

Toga was also a decisive man, and he asked, "How many people do you need?" ”

"Three thousand elites, each equipped with two horses, enough arrows, and these three thousand do not participate in large-scale battles!" Kuhehan said what he wanted.

After a little thought, Tuga Zhen agreed: "Yes, Ben Khan will give you 3,000 elites to meet all your requirements, I just need to be too passive in the next step, and I want to regain a certain initiative!" ”

"Yes!"

Kuhehan received 3,000 elite Rouran cavalry, to say that these Rouran cavalry are absolutely not inferior to the cavalry of the Qianjun Army in terms of horsemanship, and even surpass, after all, they are a nation that grew up on horseback, they have an innate advantage in horsemanship, and their disadvantage is the lack of formal and systematic combat tactics training.
