The Han army and the Xiongnu had been facing each other for more than ten days on the mountain road leading from Jilusai to Mobei, and there was no large-scale battle between the two sides, except for friction between the scouts sent by each other.

At dusk on this day, the soldiers in the Han camp were preparing to bury the pot to make rice, when suddenly a rapid banging sound startled everyone.

"What's going on?." Wei Xu, who was in charge of guarding the grain and grass, hurried over.

"It seems to be coming from the left." A sentry shouted: "General, it must be the Huns who robbed the camp at night, let's go over and help." ”

"Wait." Wei Xu looked at Zuo Ying calmly, and did not rush to order support.

The wind suddenly became stronger, the top of the flagpole in the darkness rattled, and the fierce roar of the wind came from the distant ridge, until the shouts of killing got closer and closer, and Wei Xu led the soldiers in the battalion to outflank him to the left.

"Whoosh~" The rear camp flew out like rain of arrows, and the Han soldiers who surrounded them from all directions surrounded the Huns who were robbing the camp.

The Huns who attacked fell one after another, although they did not burn the grain and grass of the Han army, but the Hun soldiers desperately protected their leader to break through, because they discovered a shocking secret.

The Han army camp was not piled up with grain and grass, but with sand, which showed that the Han army's lack of food had reached its limit, and such a major news was worth everyone's lives.

"Stop firing arrows." Wei Xu stretched out his hand to stop several soldiers who were about to pull the crossbow machine.

"General?" The deputy general looked at Wei Xu suspiciously, in order to wait for this gang of thieves to rob the camp, they had stayed up for several nights.

"Everyone follow me to pursue, remember, no arrows are allowed, chase to the Hun camp and turn back." Wei Xu did not explain, but directly ordered the pursuit.

The moon was hazy, and the two Huns ran wildly for their lives, and hundreds of Han troops were frantically pursuing behind them, shouting and shouting echoed over the entire valley, until they met the large force of the Huns who came to meet them, and the Han army did not stop pursuing.

Because they were worried about an ambush, the Huns did not dare to rush into battle, so the men and horses on both sides shouted to each other in the valley and scolded each other indiscriminately, until they were tired of scolding before returning to the camp.

In the north of the Yin Mountains and Desert, the wind howled, the bleak moonlight illuminated the entire desert, and the slightly black clouds were outlined with pale white borders, reflecting the continuous camp tents on the Mobei Plain.

A whimpering horn sounded, and someone shouted, "Open the door." ”

The gate of the barracks burst open, and thousands of wolf flags fluttered in the cold wind, scattering the smoke rising from the barracks. Around the warm campfire, groups of Hun soldiers sat around, their faithful horses snorting, frantically gouging their hooves and gobbling up the forage in their mouths.

In a gorgeous tent, Shao Ti was seriously wiping the scimitar, when suddenly the curtain was rudely lifted, and a tall general walked in.

Shao Ti put the scimitar on the table and looked up at the general: "How is it?" ”

Because of the excitement, the faces of the Hun generals turned red: "Qiyu Dadu Protector, the warriors who robbed the camp brought important news." ”

"What's the news?"

The Xiongnu general said excitedly: "The Han army has run out of food. ”

"Out of food?" Shao raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter?" ”

The Xiongnu general replied truthfully: "According to the warriors who came back, when they touched the Han army camp and were about to set fire, they suddenly found that they couldn't burn it, and they found that the grain and grass of the Han army were all sand, and this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." ”

Shao Ti was not as impatient as the Xiongnu generals, he frowned: "With such a shocking secret, how could the Han army let them escape?" ”

"The big danghu doesn't know, there are only two warriors who have escaped back, and if they don't respond in time, I'm afraid they will not escape death."

Shao Ti was silent, if the Han army really ran out of food, this might be an opportunity to break the enemy, but it was just a military matter, and there was no room for sloppiness.

He groaned for a while, and instructed the Hun generals: "The corpse is slaughtered day by day, go and call Gada over." ”

Gada is the chief in charge of detecting the enemy's situation, and he only knows flattery, so what is he called to do now?

Although the corpse Tu was dissatisfied in his heart, he still followed Shao Ti's instructions and brought a thin and clever Hun into the big tent.

Gada walked into the tent, he first saluted Shao Ti, and then said respectfully: "Respected lord, I don't know what you called me for?" ”

"Has the smoke of the Han army decreased recently?"

Gatta thought for a moment and replied: "Instead of decreasing, it has increased a lot, if you count according to the previous cooking smoke, the Han army is about 15,000 people, if you count according to the current cooking smoke, the number of the Han army has increased to 20,000." ”

The corpse figure sneered coldly, and two vicious and fierce lights flashed in his eyes: "The Han army has run out of food, how can it still make 20,000 people of cooking smoke, you lie again, believe it or not, I cut you." ”

The corners of Gada's mouth twitched, it was not so much that the corpse was slaughtered day by day as a fierce general, but rather a fierce beast with developed limbs, and his subordinates were all extremely vicious, never leaving prisoners, only knowing that killing and sadistic pleasure, and talking to him was simply an insult to his identity.

The corpse figure slaughtered day by day to look at the arrogant Gada, the dog slave actually rolled his eyes and squinted, obviously not taking him, the Hun general, in his eyes, and couldn't help but burst out of anger in his heart.

"You say, could it be that the Han army did it on purpose? They have no food and grass, but they want to pretend to have food and grass in order to confuse us? ”

Shao Ti didn't care about the two of them arguing with each other, but analyzed the current situation alone.

The corpse figure was shocked day by day, and said excitedly: "It is possible, the Han army is short of food and grass, but I am afraid that we will see the clues, so we increase the cooking smoke, just to hide people's eyes." ”

If only the incident of the camp robbery came to the conclusion that the Han army was short of food, Shao Ti might not believe it, and if he added the matter of increasing cooking smoke, he had to consider the authenticity of this matter.

After all, the fighter plane is fleeting, and if the Han army is really short of food, this will be an opportunity to break the enemy.

"Big Boss, Big Boss!"

Just when the three of them were considering the authenticity of this matter, a sentry rolled off the saddle and rushed into the big tent in three steps and two steps, the exhausted war horse was dragged aside with foam, and the sentry rode directly to Shao Ti: "Qi Yu Dadanghu, the Han army's baggage team was found east of Mingshan." ”

Shao Ti stood up in shock: "Is this true? ”

The sentry swore an oath: "It is true, I followed them all the way for three days, and this baggage team marched at dusk and hid in the mountains and forests at sunrise, and the number of them was about a thousand. ”

Shao Ti Yileng, marched at dusk, and hid in the mountains and forests at sunrise, this was for fear that our army would find out their whereabouts.

And this grain and grass must have been transported to Jilusai, because to the east of Mingshan is the Han military town - Gaoque.

The Han army of Jilusai is already short of food, if this baggage team is annihilated, the military spirit of the Han army will definitely collapse, it can be said that the Han army that has lost supplies is a group of lambs to be slaughtered.

"In this way, the time will not wait for me." Shao Ti picked up the scimitar again, his eyes narrowed into a line: "Maybe the opportunity is right in front of you." ”
