On the day of the arrival of the Zhuhu coalition army, they did not immediately attack, but chose to camp on the spot. Fighting a war is a gradual process that cannot be achieved overnight. Although Su, the leader of the Zhuhu Alliance, looked down on the Xixiang Army in his heart, he still arranged a large number of rangers between his own camp and the east camp of the Xixiang Army. It's still the same sentence 'On the battlefield, caution is good, and caution is the first'. Due to the precedent of the Xixiang Army having an overnight attack to destroy the Awa Division, in order to prevent the Xixiang Army from sneaking up at night to make trouble, Shesu specially strengthened the defense at night and arranged a large number of rangers and patrol posts. This made Liu Ye, who was preparing to cause some trouble for the Zhuhu coalition army before the war, a little at a loss.

After a night's rest, most of the Hu people are in good spirits. After the morning meal, taking advantage of the good morale of the coalition army, Shesu, who commanded so many soldiers and horses for the first time, left some slaves and scattered cavalry to continue to strengthen the camp, and couldn't wait to take the remaining men and horses to the east camp of the Xixiang army.

War is not a child's play, it is a very gradual and serious process, and it is impossible to directly open a big move for a decisive battle as soon as it comes up in the TV series. First of all, it is necessary to find out the reality of the enemy's army through a tentative attack, and then concentrate forces on attacking its weak links; only in this way can we achieve the greatest results at the lowest cost. This is especially important for large-scale decisive battles with large numbers. If you don't handle it well, it's easy to lose.

As the leader of the Zhuhu coalition this time, Shesu still has some ability, and the Hu people of all departments can get along in harmony for the time being under his command, and there is no big chaos. The reason why he led all the main forces of the Zhuhu coalition army this time to march to the east camp of the Xixiang army. In addition to wanting to suppress the morale of the Xixiang Army in Dongying, he also wanted to test the defense of Dongying, not to launch a full-scale attack immediately. Of course! If Dongying's defense is very weak and the flaws are very big, Shesu doesn't mind commanding the army to directly break through Dongying and eat the Xixiang army in the camp.

However, when Shesu led the Zhuhu coalition army to Dongying, Shesu and the rest of the Hu adults were stunned by the sight in front of them.

Patches of antler-repellent horses are scattered all over the place. The horses seemed to have been crucified in the dirt and could not be moved away. And all of these antler-repellent horses were covered in muddy water, apparently for fire prevention. This meant that the only way to destroy these antler-repellent horses was to chop them with an axe. Not only that, but instead of completely blocking the road, these antler-repellent horses have revealed several gaps.

Looking at these gaps, after thinking about it for a while, Shesu, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, immediately understood someone's sinister intentions. People always like to take shortcuts, and no one wants to take a long detour and take a difficult road. Obviously, for these Zhuhu coalition forces, these gaps are shortcuts. She Su could think that once his warriors gathered around these gaps, they would definitely be fiercely shot at by the Xixiang archers on the Dongying camp. However, there is no good way for Shesu to stop, he can't stop his warriors from leaving a good gap, and choose to slowly destroy these deer antlers! And Shesu also knew that if he wanted to completely destroy these antlers, it would not be possible to do it in a short time. Once the time of this crusade drags on too long, it will definitely be detrimental to the Zhuhu coalition army. After all, this is the northern part of Shenzhou, where the 'law of the jungle eats the strong', and Shesu does not dare to guarantee that the Hu tribes participating in this alliance will not catch fire in their backyards.

In addition to rejecting the antlers and horses, the Xixiang army also dug the land in front of Dongying into potholes. This is not conducive to the play of siege equipment, although these Hu people do not have any powerful siege equipment, but it doesn't matter. For these large and small holes, if Hu people don't pay attention to their feet a little, it is easy to fall. Once you fall on the battlefield, if you don't get up immediately, you can easily be trampled to death by people nearby.

In addition, the Xixiang Army also built a wall about three zhang five high and two zhang five wide. In front of the wall, there is also a deep trench filled with sharp wooden stakes, which guarantees that once people fall, they will never be able to climb up. There is also a suspension bridge specially used to protect the wall. On the wall, there are also various large and small weapons to defend the city, such as bed crossbows, etc.

Looking at this dense fortification, the adults of the Zhuhu Coalition Army had a little numb scalps, and even the leader of the alliance, Su, was also worried. They all knew that if they wanted to break through the camp of the Zhao people (Han people) in front of them, they needed to fill it with human lives, and they needed a lot of human lives. They all knew that they underestimated the Zhao people. They all understood that it was not so easy to eliminate the Zhao people in front of them.

"This group of Zhao dogs is not simple! Looks like we're underestimating them. Your lords (leaders) have also seen the defenses of these Zhao dogs, do you have any good suggestions? Riding on a black horse, Shesu asked expressionlessly. However, the palms of his hands holding the reins were already covered with sweat, and it was obvious that he was a little nervous at this time.

After thinking for a while, one of the Hu people, who was also riding a black horse named Xibu with Shesu, suggested: "Why don't we let the slave soldiers try the defense of these Zhao dogs first?" See if it's a good look? Didn't Lord Su Bu of the Kuka Department say that these Zhao dogs have only been stationed here for a month. It stands to reason that they would not have been able to build so many fortifications, and many of them must be fake. Let's let the slave soldiers test the reality of Zhao Gou's camp first, and then make the next decision. ”

The fighting style of the two Jin and Hu people is somewhat similar to that of the 'I Daqing' in the early period of the later generations. The order of operations of 'My Great Qing' was first the captured cannon fodder, then the surrendered Ming army, then the Han Eight Banners, then the Mongolian Eight Banners, and finally the Qing Eight Banners. The two Jin Hu people have no trouble, only slave soldiers, ordinary scattered cavalry (herdsman cavalry), and turquoise cavalry (local soldiers). There is no doubt that the slave soldier is true cannon fodder, and it is the most suitable for the task of temptation.

"Uh-huh! What Lord Xi said is reasonable! She Su nodded, and seemed to agree with Xi Bu's suggestion. However, then Shesu said a little reluctantly: "Looking at the surface defense of these Zhao dogs, if you directly use the slave soldiers to test, it is very likely that there will be major casualties." ”

Don't think that Shesu sympathizes with these slave soldiers, it's impossible. In addition to being cannon fodder in wartime, slave soldiers were the main labor and wealth creators of the tribe in peacetime. And in the north of Shenzhou, due to the gradual scarcity of the Zhao people, the slaves are not as easy to replenish as before. If there were major casualties, even if he was an adult of the Lirong Division, it would be difficult for him to explain to the elders of the tribe.

After listening to Shesu's words, the rest of the Hu adults present also nodded in agreement. Although they did not treat the slaves as human beings, they did not want the slaves to suffer heavy losses.

"Don't worry, my lords, I have a way to lower the morale of the Zhao dogs!" The seat seemed to have expected this expression from everyone present, and his face was full of joy and he said confidently.

When you're in battle, morale counts! Once morale is too low, the combat power will also decrease. The same applies to the Saigo Army, which is the defender. If the morale of the Saigo Army is too low, when the slave soldiers are tempted, the strength of the Saigo Army's counterattack will be reduced, and the casualties of the slave soldiers will also be reduced.

"What's the best way to do it?" She Su asked calmly, although he was a little excited in his heart at this time, but he didn't show it. As the leader of the alliance, he needs to show his majesty in front of these adults.

"Heads-up before the war!" In the expectant eyes of many adults, Xi Bu said proudly.
