In the midst of Qingze, Zhang Yue asked people to spread out a piece of Kanyu brought from Nanchi.

This is a map made of silk cloth.

It's been at least 20 years.

There may be some flaws, but in general it can be trusted.

Zhang Yue looked at the map, stared for a moment, and then found his location.

"We're ...... here," Zhang Yue tapped on the map with his hand.

Qingze, that is, Chagannuoer Lake in later generations, is located in the center of the famous Hunshandak Sandy Land in the territory of Sunit Right Banner in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

"Lu Ze is here ......," Zhang Yue pointed on the map again.

It should be somewhere where in the later generations of Erenhot City and Mongolia interacted.

However, the ancient and modern geography and landforms have changed very drastically.

Plus two thousand years of desert activity with sand dune movement.

Zhang Yue is also not sure whether the so-called Lu Ze is inside or outside Erenhot City.

But the coordinates are still easy to find.

After determining the location of Qingze, Zhang Yue soon found the famous Zhurihe area near Qingze.

It's a pity that Zhu Rihe at this time is just a barren mountain and the Gobi.

There is no full ambition to catch.

And Lu Ze is just north of Zhu Rihe.

"From the confessions of the captives, we can know that the number of Hujie cavalry that entered the south of Kou Mu this time is about 4,000 to 5,000......" Looking at the map, Zhang Yue said while thinking: "And these cavalry are active in the area from the north of Qingze to the south of Gonglushui......

"At present, there are about 2,000 to 3,000 cavalry, gathered in the northeast and southwest of Huze, and it seems that they plan to besiege this place, force them to surrender or break through the Huxu Division!"

Zhang Yue raised his hand and asked, "What do you think about this?" ”

The cavalry combat before the Western Yuan Dynasty was completely different from the cavalry combat that people were familiar with in later generations.

In addition to the fact that the Han army was equipped with a large number of weapons such as foot crossbows and repeaters, it had a certain ability to mount and shoot.

Almost all cavalry fought by charging, slashing, or dismounting and shooting.

This is universally applicable.

Otherwise, decades later, the Parthian cavalry of the Rest Empire would not have caused so much panic to the Romans.

The Roman phalanx of heavy infantry was defeated by a very simple return shot tactic by the Sabbatarians.

Everyone looked at each other, and then looked at Zhang Yue in unison, and bowed: "All the orders in the service are obeyed!" ”

Zhang Yue was a little disappointed.

He wanted to create a military command structure similar to that of the German General Staff.

It's a pity that the limitations of the times have made it difficult for him to realize this ambition.

The main reason is the lack of talent.

In particular, there is a shortage of personnel who are familiar with warfare, understand military knowledge, and at the same time have a wealth of military knowledge.

Especially now, among the people around him, except for Guo Rong, who may know a little about the art of war, the others haven't even read the war book.

As for those Wuheng nobles......

Being able to read is already a remarkable achievement.

Therefore, the General Staff, even a temporary command organ of the former enemy's staff staff, could not be established at all.

"It's a pity......" Zhang Yue shook his head slightly in his heart, he knew that if the Han army wanted to go further and have higher combat efficiency, it must form a qualified staff department.

Formulate combat plans and strategies in a scientific and rational manner, and allocate materials and troops.

Therefore, after going back this time, the establishment of a military academy like Taixue must be put on the agenda.

Thinking about these things in his heart, Zhang Yue's face was silent.

He stood in front of Kanyu, waved his hand slightly, and said, "Gentlemen, please look at ......"

"The current battlefield situation is like this......"

"Our army is currently ...... south of Aoze"

"In addition, the cavalry led by General Sima and General Xu should have made a detour back to the area of Yanze and Honghuze, forming a pincer flank attack on Yanze from the northwest and southeast directions......"

"The original deployment should be tomorrow dawn, our army will take the lead in attacking Huze from the south, attracting the firepower of the Huxuan traitors, and then, the Changshui Spirit Cavalry commanded by General Xu will attack the soft underbelly of its flank from the southeast, and at the same time, General Sima's headquarters will come from the northwest to cut off its retreat!"

This is Zhang Yue's first attempt to use some of the tactics of later generations in his current practice.

To put it simply, it is to treat the luxury people as the monsters of the novice village.

I'm going to practice some new offensive tactics.

Unfortunately, now, everything has changed.

The entry of new enemies turns the Starter Village into a premium dungeon.

The level of challenge and risk skyrockets in an instant.

You must know that those who have entered the south of the Makunan now are only a few thousand cavalry from the Hujie Division.

After bowing Lu Shui, Zhang Yue didn't know, how many troops did Wei Lu still have to use?

Moreover, from the perspective of anticipating the enemy's leniency.

Zhang Yue had to deduce that when Wei Lu learned the information about the appearance of the Han army, he led the main force to come and fight with Zhang Yue in the north and south of this scene.

What's worse is that now, the forces in his hands are too scattered.

Before, there was nothing wrong with that.

But now, if there is a cavalry battle with the Xiongnu in the south of the Makunan.

That's a fatal vulnerability.

Once, Wei Lu knew that the Han army's forces were scattered.

Then he may gather his main force, choose a suitable battlefield, and find an opportunity to surround and encircle and annihilate a divided Han army.

Just like what the Huns once did to Li Ling in Junji Mountain.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Yue quickly knew what kind of decision he should make!

The Huns must not be allowed to discover the current dispersion of their own forces.

So, what kind of choice can make the Huns ignore their current situation?

"Gentlemen, our army must arrive here before noon tomorrow!" Zhang Yue slammed his fist on the map.

The crowd looked intently.

It was discovered that the local area was located in a hilly valley southwest of Auzawa.

This place is nameless, but it has an excellent advantage in the hundreds of miles within a radius of this Luze.

That's – condescending.

This is determined by the local geography.

Whether it is the current Huluxe Ranch or the Erenhot area in later generations.

Its geographical structure is almost identical.

That is, the terrain is flat, but there is also a drop.

It is basically a gradual slope from southwest to northeast.

The difference between the southwesternmost and northeasternmost parts of the country may be more than 300 meters.

And that hill and valley is the commanding height within a radius of 300 miles.

And what contemporary cavalry needs most is such a suitable place to launch an attack.

Condescending cavalry will have a huge speed advantage.

Just like back then, when the Huns occupied the Hetao, their cavalry could always put great pressure on the Han Biansai.

Attacking from the highlands to the lowlands will always have an advantage.

And this hilly valley, the straight-line distance between it and Qingze, is not far.

At most, it's more than 200 miles.

The cavalry marched rapidly, and if there were no obstacles, it would be enough time for a day to arrive.

But here's the problem......

"Shizhonggong, in one day, when you arrive here, I'm afraid it's a little difficult for the villain......" Dugu Jing couldn't help but say: "It's not the villain's prevarication, it's really ......"

Zhang Yue waved his hand, knowing what the other party meant.

These Wuheng righteous servants led by him are described by an idiom, that is, a rabble.

In one day, it is not impossible to travel more than 200 miles.

However, if this is done, at least half of the more than 3,000 cavalry will be left behind.

This is an objective fact that cannot be transferred by human will.

Lack of training, cooperation, and lack of tacit understanding with each other.

The quality of the horses mounted by the cavalry of each division also varied, and the physical fitness and tactical literacy of the riders were also very different.

Once you start running long distances, problems quickly arise.

Falling behind and being separated is something that is bound to happen.

"You don't have to worry about this......" Zhang Yue smiled mysteriously: "The envoy didn't say that if the whole army arrives, ......"

"It only needs someone to be the first to seize this place......" Zhang Yue looked at the map, pursed his lips and smiled: "That's enough!" ”

This nameless valley has great strategic value.

In this game, whoever preempts first will have the initiative.

Zhang Yue only hopes now that the people who call for revelation will not know about this matter, let alone send people to seize it.

Zhang Yue raised his head and looked at everyone and asked, "Who can complete this mission for me?" ”

"The first to ascend, this envoy will play the Son of Heaven and ask for merit for him, compared to the Han Army's military law of 'landing the enemy city first' and 'capturing the flag'!"

There will be brave men under the heavy reward, and immediately, countless people rushed to ask for help.

For reasons of stimulating and encouraging the Wuheng people's will to fight, Zhang Yue finally handed over this task to Hao Lian Ponu and the more than two hundred cavalry he brought.

After winning this task, Hao Lian Po Nu was immediately so excited that he couldn't help himself, and he almost patted his chest to promise that if he didn't succeed, he would become a benevolent.

But Zhang Yue didn't have any joy.

After sending Hao Lian off and ordering him to set off immediately, Zhang Yue looked at the current battle situation alone.

In my heart, I will inevitably be worried.

He is well aware that at the moment he has to race against time.

It is necessary to do everything possible to create momentum and influence before Wei Lu reacts and discovers that the Han army is actually in a dispersed position.

Forced the Huns, focusing their attention on him.

So as to give Sima Xuan's department and the continuation of the same department enough time to retreat and transfer.

And eventually, create favorable conditions for the tripartite meeting.

"This war-if Wei Lu really decides to hunt with me in the south of the Munan......" Zhang Yue stared at the map: "I'm afraid the winner is how fast I can concentrate our army's forces as quickly as possible!" ”

When the army fights, the side that clenches into a fist first will definitely have a better chance of winning.

However, Zhang Yue was not panicked.

Because, the battlefield of the current world is like the Warcraft and interstellar games of the later generations.

Both sides are shrouded in the fog of the battlefield.

Until there is sufficient reconnaissance information to confirm it, no one knows the deployment and composition of the other side's troops.

Moreover, even if the reconnaissance is clear, the rapid change of the battlefield situation may cause both sides to make countless mistakes.

So, on such a battlefield.

There is only one thing to ensure victory - our army must make sure that it makes as few mistakes as possible and that it causes the enemy to make more mistakes.

So that victory can be achieved theoretically.

Of course, only theoretically.

And in reality......

Or rather, on a real battlefield.

After all, it is still people who decide the outcome of the victory, and it is the front-line warriors.

In the collision of iron and fire, which side is stronger? More determination?

Therefore, for commanders, war in the era of cold weapons is actually a gamble.

Bet on my luck, our soldiers are stronger-willed and more able to withstand pressure.

And what Zhang Yue is doing now is actually putting pressure on the enemy.

Once you succeed in seizing that unnamed hill valley in the lower southwest.

Even if the cavalry he led was only a rabble of more than 3,000.

But the Huns did not dare to ignore it.

Forcing them to take the initiative.

Thus liberating, in fact, the real workhorse.

It can also be regarded as an alternative demonstration of Tian Ji's horse racing story.

The only question is - are these Wu Hengyi obedient reliable?

Will they be able to withstand the attack of the Huns?

Holding the knots in his hand, Zhang Yue understood.

He had to do it.

Otherwise, under the current technical conditions, once Xu Xiangru and Sima Xuan make a mistake in judgment, they may be in danger.

Especially Sima Xuan's department, they may be encircled.

"So...... I have to take a bit of a risk......" Zhang Yue muttered to himself.

He then added new chips to the battlefield.

"Someone come, pass on my general order, and start the Son of Heaven Festival and rely on!" Zhang Yue ordered loudly: "Order someone to advocate the honor guard, and make it as public as possible all the way!" ”

This is to clearly tell the Hun cavalry who are scouting - the Han angel is here, do you know?

If you don't know, then listen to the music and see the verse.

Go back and report to your master!

……………………………………

On the banks of the Bow Lu Water.

Wei Lu had already listened to the report of the Tu Gu shooting messenger.

He frowned, his eyes full of doubt.

"You mean, you have found traces of the Han army in the northwest and southeast of Luze?"

"The ...... of the Xuanjia cavalry that appeared in the southeast"

"Shiozawa in the northwest, what you found is a light horse?"

"Returning to the great King Ding Ling, it is true!" The messenger lay on the ground, and he promised.

Wei Lu's heart was filled with endless doubts.

He found someone who was familiar with the geography of Makunan and asked him about the local situation.

However, it had been twenty-seven years since the Huns left Munan.

Most people know something vaguely through the dictation of their elders.

And these things, like commercials on TV.

It's all like there is a water source in a certain place, the pasture grass in XX is better, and there is more rain in a few months, when is it time to move with livestock.

The details and specifics are unknown to even the parties involved.

The Huns also had little tradition of drawing maps.

It was only after Zhao Xin came to the Xiongnu that he taught the Huns to draw military maps.

However, there are too few people who have mastered this technology.

And surveying and mapping is too advanced for the Huns.

Therefore, to this day, the Huns are still an experienced army.

Everything depends on experience, and rarely on systems and organizations.

Therefore, Wei Lu heard that it was really a cloud and mountain fog cover, but he was even more confused.

On the contrary, it was King Guyan, who heard something about it, and said to Wei Lu: "King Ding Ling, the general meaning should be that the areas where the Han army appears and activities are all the flanks and flanks and rear ...... of Hu Ze."

"Oh......" Wei Lu nodded, and he understood a little bit when he said this.

But in my heart, I was full of doubts.

Because he found out that he didn't know what the intentions of the Han army were?

Armor cavalry appeared on the flanks?

This may be understood as the cavalry that may have set off from Wuyuan, passing through Dragon City and approaching Yuze.

It should be the Gaoque army that the Han army is stationed in Gaoque?

But what the hell is the light rider that appears behind the side?

What's more, the report of the emissaries did not say how much they knew about the Han army.

In the scout battle, there is no doubt that the Hujie cavalry was completely defeated by the Han army.

They can't be blamed for that, though.

After all, in the current world, there are almost no armies that can fight against the elite scouts of the Han army and still have the upper hand.

Even if it is Shan Yu's direct subordinate Wanqi, he is often beaten by the elite scouts of the Han army and does not even dare to go out.

So much so that the Huns had to use the entire cavalry as the battlefield leader to reconnoiter the military situation.

However, this has left a huge problem for Wei Lu now.

That is, he hardly knows the strength of the Han army.

He didn't even know what kind of troops the Han army came this time?

Not to mention, whether these Han troops have infantry to fight with them.

The entire battlefield situation almost plunged him into darkness.

But the messenger was very anxious, and he asked anxiously: "Great King Ding Ling, my lord asks me for advice: Is our army going or fighting?" ”

When Wei Lu heard this, he frowned, shook his head and said, "Don't worry......"

"You go back first, go back to the king, and say that I ask him to wait for another three days, and I will think about it carefully......"

"In the meantime, please shrink your forces as much as possible......"

"It's better to keep the pressure on Yu Ze ......"

"After three days, if you don't get my order, King Hujie can retreat on his own!"

Sending away the messenger of Hujieren, Wei Lu and King Guyan looked at each other.

"What do you mean, King?" Wei Lu asked.

King Guyan thought for a while and said, "In the opinion of this king......"

"Our army should immediately cross the Gonglu River and advance to the area around Shiozawa......"

"If you have the opportunity, then catch this Han army light cavalry!"

"If you can eat it......" King Guyan laughed.

For the current Xiongnu, being able to annihilate a complete Han army is definitely a victory worthy of special mention!

But Wei Lu had a different opinion, he shook his head, and said, "King, have you read that "On War"? ”

King Guyan nodded.

Wei Lu said softly: "I remember, there is a chapter that says: adhere to the principle of concentrating forces for each annihilation, take the annihilation of the enemy's living forces as the main goal, not to defend or seize places as the goal, we should concentrate our forces to destroy the center of gravity that the enemy relies on, and at the same time, our army should concentrate as much as possible......"

Wei Lu stood up and looked south, with a worried face: "Great King, now the author of "On War" is opposite, somewhere in the south of the ......."

"Do you think he'll make such a mistake?"

"Be lenient with the enemy!"

"Shiozawa is a large area, in case there are thousands of infantry hidden in it, and they will confront each other with bows and crossbows......"

"Once our army stops its troops, it may be dragged down by it......"

"In the opinion of the ministers, the king, our army should immediately concentrate its forces and maintain the current vitality......"

"Let the Hujie people try the deep and shallow water ...... of these Han people"

This is undoubtedly a good countermeasure.

After hearing this, King Guyan's eyes immediately lit up.

Because for the Huns, Hujie people?

All right!

But the descendants of a group of slaves are just cannon fodder.

Do you really think that just by boasting 'this is a meteor hammer given to me by the gods', you really think that you have a high status?

In fact, in fact, in the eyes of the Huns, the Hujie people are the same as the countries of the Western Regions.

It's nothing more than cannon fodder.

Even, the status of the Hujie people in the eyes of the Huns was even lower.

After all, the countries of the Western Regions are docile and obedient.

Hujie is different.

These madmen, if they don't have no choice, who wants to let them out?

And......

For King Guyan, it is actually very beneficial to let the Hujie people suffer.

Even, the annihilation of the Hujie people may be more beneficial to him.

Because, in this way, you can gag the mouths of many old-fashioned aristocrats.

Let them know that they have to abandon the traditions of the past.

If the Huns wanted to survive, they could only learn from the Han Dynasty.

We must adhere to the correct path of Yin Zhi's oblique and strict criticism of the adverse current of the times.

After all, in the past few years, many people have taken Hujie people as an example, and said crookedly, 'My Great Huns are good, why bother to learn from the Han Dynasty?' "Look at the Hujie cavalry, don't they perform very well on the battlefield?"

These fools don't use their elm heads to think about it, exchanging two or three thousand losses for a few hundred Han army foot soldiers, what kind of victory is this?
