Chapter 126 The Strategy of the Huns

On the white saline-alkali land, a large army is marching with difficulty, and as soon as the wind blows, there is a white saline that is wrapped up and falls on the red cloak of the soldiers, and occasionally debris falls into the eyes, which will make people cry for a long time.

Everyone's eyes are red, and even if their faces are covered with fine veils, tiny salt-alkali dust is still pervasive.

The Northwest is desolate and lonely.

This hundred-mile-long salt-alkali flat has no life at all, and even the birds in the sky are reluctant to fly through this sky.

"This is the Great Flood Pond...... The land of heaven in the mouth of the Huns. ”

Yun Lang jumped down from You Chunma's back, grabbed a handful of saline-alkali soil, and after only holding it for a while, there was a burning heat in his palm.

This is the sweat of the palms that reacts with the salinity.

Cao Xiang carefully checked his horse's hooves, and saw that the linen cloth on the bread was still strong and not broken, so he stood up and said, "Speed up the march and get out of this saline-alkali land as soon as possible." ”

Yun Lang shook his head and said: "Walk slowly, the faster you go, the more dust you will raise, and the more you will suffer." Look over there, it's all the horseshoe prints of the cavalry, it should be the traces of their walking! ”

Cao Xiang nodded and said, "It must be, except for us, only the army that has gone sick will take this road."

After all, it's much closer, and you don't have to go over the mountains. ”

"Order the rear army to collect the salt and alkali on the ground until the empty grain carts are filled, and remember not to enter the water."

"What do you want these things for?"

"Self-preservation."

"Don't we have gunpowder?"

"Don't use that thing if you can, after using it, the consequences will be serious, and it is said that Your Majesty has secretly verified the gunpowder that Guo Xie used them.

If we come up with more powerful gunpowder, Your Majesty will not want to sleep well, and we will not want to live a good life. ”

"Why is it that everything has to do with Your Majesty in the end?" Cao Xiang was a little puzzled.

"Because the only one who can suppress us is His Majesty, it is difficult to describe our relationship with His Majesty.

If I had to say one word to describe it, I would think that the four words of symbiosis are appropriate. ”

Cao Xiang thought about it, the Great Han Kingdom needed a wise emperor, and the Great Han Kingdom also needed a group of capable courtiers.

A wise emperor needs capable courtiers, so as to balance the world, if the emperor is full of wine bags and rice bags, even if the emperor is capable, how many nails can he hit with iron all over his body?

The same capable courtiers also need to think of a relatively wise emperor, if the emperor can't even distinguish right from wrong, the country will also be doomed.

Unless—someone can help the Emperor make the right decision.

In the past, Cao Xiang would only think about the first two points, and he had never thought about the latter point, but today, when he walked in the Jedi, his thoughts inevitably became a little more emanated.

In the hundred-mile-long waterlogged pond, Yunlang's army walked for two days.

If it is an army alone, it is estimated that it will be able to get out of this saline-alkali land within a day, but unfortunately, Yunlang's army is not a combat army, to be precise, this is a baggage army that specializes in supplying grain and grass for Huo Quzhi.

Huo Quai's fighting, he didn't like to use civilian husbands the most, and he insisted that the generals who sent those who had no military training to the battlefield were all cowards!

Fighting a war is inherently a matter for the army, and it is an extremely shameless act to drive the people away as death squads to consume the enemy's weapons.

Therefore, he can be lightly armed and simple, and lead his whole cavalry unit to rush to the border pass at a speed of two hundred a day and five hundred a day.

He was very enjoyable, but it was difficult to die the officials who supplied him with baggage, and the emperor was helpless, so he sent General Wei, who was supposed to be in charge of the supply of food and straw for the three-way army, to serve the hussar generals all the way.

After Yunlang's baggage team walked out of the waterlogged pond, they began to rest on the edge of the Heihe River, which was still three days!

Li Yong, who served as a former military captain, was very sensible, and he didn't know where to catch some Qiang people, so that General Wei's military camp, which was originally short of manpower, suddenly had a lot of new manpower to use.

There is no shortage of food and grass in the army, however, these edible things of the Qiang people are stolen from their tribes, and there is no problem in a short time.

As for the long-term plan, Li Yong never thought that the road ahead would only be more difficult to walk than the waterlogged pond, and without the people who opened the mountain in front, the speed of the army would only be slower.

It is impossible for the Huns to wait for Huo Qubing to kill them in the same place, so this war is definitely a guerrilla war, a pursuit war, and it is difficult to fight a war of annihilation, which is not only thought by Yun Lang, but also by the emperor himself.

In this way, the war will turn into a protracted war, which is definitely a great test for the Great Han Kingdom, and it can be regarded as a kind of torture for Yun Lang.

If there is no suitable path, Yun Lang can imagine how sad the future will be.

Yun Lang's feet stepped on the newly dug mountain pass, and there was a faint smell of corpses coming from the construction site.

He didn't want to blame Li Shen too much for opening the way, he was just trying his best to complete his military affairs, and it was a matter of course to use people to death, there was nothing to say.

"Throw the body as far away as possible in the future."

Yun Lang was worried about causing a plague.

Li Shen hugged his fists and said: "The mountain road will be opened tomorrow to ensure that the carriage can pass safely." ”

Yun Lang patted Li Shen on the shoulder and left the mountain pass, the army still had to continue to advance, if it did not reach Yangguan within thirty days, the army there would be hungry.

If the army starts to go hungry, the only means is robbery.

Looting is a way for large armies to survive, and is generally used on the enemy, and if there is no enemy nearby, it will be their own people who are unlucky.

After passing the pass, in the col not far away, there was a large flock of crows and vultures snatching food, and it was very noisy.

Li Shen threw a stone, and the crows and vultures flew up with a bang, and the fat vultures were unwilling to give up their food, so they squatted on the trunk of the tree that had just sprouted, and looked at the army in front of them sinisterly.

Su Zhi came out of the col wearing thick linen clothes and a thick mask, and the deerskin gloves on her hands were full of strange smells, but the Qiang women who followed her were carrying small porcelain bottles, which should be the samples that Su Zhi had just taken out.

"You've gone to the place where the dead are housed?" Yun Lang's tone was a little tough.

Su Zhi wore a mask and said angrily: "No, the corpses there have basically become white bones, there is no value to see, there was a fresh corpse of a color-eyed person just now, I took some tissue samples, and prepared to compare them after freezing." ”

Probably sensing her husband's unhappiness, Su Zhi hurriedly ran away with the group of caregivers.

Everywhere they went, the soldiers fled in horror.

"If there are any corpses in the future, they will be set on fire."

Yun Lang hurriedly gave Li Shen an order and rushed to the front army.

Sui Yue's tent was on the side of the road, but there was only Huo Guang inside, Huo Guang saw that the master was coming, so he pointed to the left with his finger, and Yun Lang walked in the direction guided by Huo Guang.

There is a small stream behind the hill, Sui Yue actually sat on the edge of the stream and fished quietly, the stream water is very clear, at the foot of the mountain converges into a small pool, at a glance it is black, this waterhole should be very deep.

As soon as Yun Lang approached, several fierce soldiers surrounded Sui Yue.

After Sui Yue turned around and saw Yun Lang, he smiled and said, "I am sick today, so I won't do anything in the account, and I ask the general for forgiveness." ”

"Don't eat outside food in the army, this is an iron law, and the long history must be remembered in mind."

Yun Lang casually poured the fish that Sui Yue had just caught back into the pool.

The soldiers surrounding Sui Yue already had anger on their faces, but Sui Yue stood up and said, "Why is this?

To this day, a certain family still does not understand why the army is not allowed to drink raw water, eat outside food, and not have private contact with the locals. ”

Yun Lang said lightly: "Because Ben General just received a report from the ranger, saying that in the upper reaches of this stream, rotten cattle and sheep carcasses were found, and human corpses were also found. ”

Sui Yue suddenly changed color when he heard this, and immediately stuffed his fingers into his throat to induce vomiting, he didn't eat the fish, and he had been drinking the tea brewed with this stream for two hours.

After vomiting for a long time, Sui Yue found that he seemed to have nothing to vomit about, so he straightened up with difficulty and said with the help of the guards: "So, there are Huns here?" ”

Yun Lang nodded and said, "The land here is empty, and our army is too small to take care of it.

The Huns' rangers can naturally come in, and I hope that from now on, you will stay in the barracks, have nothing to do, and do not come and go at will. ”

Set a small goal first, such as 1 second to remember: Book Keju mobile version reading website:
