"According to Shi Min's brute strength, he will definitely find a way to fight the Huns, as long as he does it, the Huns are not easy to mess with, and he will definitely send someone back to deliver the message when the time comes, so that we can see the opportunity and decide whether to make a move."

"But we only need a few thousand cavalry in our hands now, how can we make a move?" Tan Yuan asked suspiciously.

"What do you mean by a praying mantis catching cicada and a yellow finch behind? This king just plans to fish in troubled waters, and he doesn't plan to fight with the Huns! Sending people and horses with Shi Min to death have a relationship with Shi Min in relation to us? Shi Zun asked rhetorically.

"What does Your Highness mean?"

"Quietly send someone out of the customs and find a way to find Shi Min's traces, if he starts a war with the Huns or the Qiang, we will fish in troubled waters on the periphery."

"Wouldn't that be a bit risky? This is compared to the Qiang and Huns are cavalry, and we may not necessarily take advantage. ”

"The Qiang people and the Huns set out together this time, the Qiang people must go back to their own territory, then there will always be a time when they are alone, if Shi Min only fights the Qiang people, how can he have no chance of winning?"

"What His Highness said makes sense, then his subordinates will go and send people out now." After Tan Yuan finished speaking, he walked out.

On the grassland in the middle of the night, the cold wind was cold, and the bonfire in the Huns' camp was burning, but Shi Min and others were quietly staring at the movements of the Huns in the distance in the dark night.

"Major General, the brothers have been following you for many days, it's almost time to do it, right?" Xue Zan was lying beside Shi Min and asked while looking into the distance.

"Wang Chong, according to your estimate, how far is the Huns' camp from here this season?" Shi Min did not answer Xue Zan directly, but asked Wang Chong on the side.

Wang Chong thought for a while and said, "It is estimated that there are still two days to go." ”

Shi Min thought for a while and said: "Yesterday, the Qiang people have parted ways with the Huns, and now the Huns below have about 30,000 horses. ”

Everyone looked at Shi Min and nodded.

"Major General, do you mean to fight tonight?" Zhang Mufeng asked with some excitement.

Shi Min nodded solemnly and said: "Everyone, in the front, we only have barely 10,000 horses, of which more than 2,000 are not our brothers, we don't know how the combat effectiveness is, so you don't have too big expectations, to put it bluntly, maybe the strength of the enemy and us is one to five, are you afraid?" ”

The contrast between the strength of the enemy and the enemy was very clear, but as soon as Shi Min's voice fell, Zhang Mufeng preemptively said: "Afraid? If you're afraid, you won't join the army! ”

"I'm not afraid! I have already killed several Huns this time, which is not enough to avenge my family and fellow villagers! As long as there is a major general! I, Wang Chong, are definitely not afraid of the Huns! Wang Chong said solemnly.

"Good!" Seeing that these two people were so firm, Shi Min felt more confident in his heart, and then said, "Let me talk about tonight's deployment!" ”

Several major generals hurriedly came up, only to see Shi Min pointing to the Huns' camp in the distance and commanding, "Have you seen it?" This Xiongnu Shan Yu was very clever, he set up the camp in a relatively high place, so that if someone stole the camp in the middle of the night, he could find out at the first time. In addition, their position is relatively high, which is more conducive to charging. But we don't have a chance! ”

Shi Min said, looked at the crowd, paused, and then said: "Our troops are divided into two routes, one of which is led by General Xue Zan, a total of 7,000 people, pretending to attack from the south and rushing to its camp, the Huns must be panicked and focus all their attention on the south. The rest of the men, led by me personally, after General Xue Zan had attracted the attention of the Huns, launched a total from the west and attacked his left flank. ”

"Attacking from the west?" Xue Zan didn't quite understand.

Seeing that Xue Zan had doubts, Shi Min explained: "The terrain in the west is similar to the camp of the Huns, which is suitable for surprise attacks. ”

Xue Zan nodded, and said: "For the sake of safety, the young general, the last general recommends that you bring all the men and horses to select the elite of the headquarters, so as not to be able to kill with one blow." ”

"I understand! I also plan to do the same, and besides, I want to tell you that we will attack the Huns tonight, not to take back many livestock, gold and silver, but to kill the Huns. First, to frustrate its spirit, second, to avenge the tens of thousands of military souls who died at the hands of the Huns nineteen years ago, and third, to avenge the slaughter of the people in the clouds in the north. ”

Shi Min stopped to take a sip of water and continued: "After General Xue Zan leads people to fight the Huns, when I arrive, I can feign a retreat to the south and march in the direction of the Qiang people. After I wounded his left flank, I retreated and joined you in the south, and together we intercepted the Qiang people and snatched back their things. ”

"Got it!" The crowd nodded.

"That's right! Wang Chong has to follow me, this area, he is familiar with the road conditions and directions, General Xue Zan, you may have to figure out your own way! ”

"Young General, rest assured, among those people we brought out from Yanmen Pass, some of them are stationed at Yanmen Pass all year round, and they are also very familiar with this area, so guiding the way is not a problem."

"That's good!" Shi Min nodded, then looked up at the sky, asked for everyone's opinions, and asked: "It's the time of the child, let's start acting in another hour, that time is the time when people are most tired, and the raid is the most effective in this case, what do you think?" ”

"The major general's analysis is reasonable, I have no objections, what about you?" Xue Zan first agreed.

"We all have no opinion!" Zhang Mufeng and several others also nodded.

Everyone basically agreed, but Wang Chong didn't speak, Shi Min inadvertently saw Wang Chong next to him without saying a word, looking at the Hun camp in the distance for a while, and grabbing a handful of fine soil for a while and gently raising it.

"Wang Chong, what do you think? After all, you grew up with the Huns, you should know more about them than we do, tell me what advice you have? Shi Min saw that Wang Chong seemed to have an idea in his heart, so he asked.

When Wang Chong heard Shi Min ask him, he looked at everyone with some embarrassment, and said, "Young General, generals, I have some ideas, but I don't know if it's reliable, after all, ...... I didn't really fight. ”

"It's okay, you don't hurt to say it, now we are brainstorming, the purpose is to minimize our losses and fight the Huns." Shi Min patted Wang Chong and said.

When Wang Chong saw Shi Min encouraging him, he had some confidence and said: "We are now in the east of the Huns, and it is not wrong to say that we will raid in the middle of the night, but there is still a northwest wind, and this wind direction is not conducive to General Xue Zan's feint. ”

Shi Min saw that Wang Chong suddenly stopped, so he said, "You go on." ”

Wang Chong scratched his head a little embarrassed, and continued: "The Huns are like hunting in war, and they are very good at formulating their own action plans according to the climate, terrain and even wind direction. For example, in this wind direction, the arrows we shoot out against the wind may be at least fifty paces less than the arrows fired by the Huns downwind, which means that once the Hun archers find that there is an enemy in their south, it means that our surprise attack may become a preemptive strike of the Huns, and our arrows have not yet shot them down, and their arrows may already be in front of our eyes. ”

"Then according to your opinion, we should attack from the northwest?" Zhang Mufeng asked.

"That's probably what it means......" Wang Chong smiled at Zhang Mufeng.

After listening to Wang Chong's words, Shi Min frowned tightly and didn't say a word, while Xue Zan looked at Shi Min, as if waiting for Shi Min to make a conclusion.

Suddenly, Shi Min spoke: "Wang Chong's words make sense, we all ignored this just now. ”

Hearing Shi Min say this, Wang Chong couldn't help but feel excited, for a newcomer like him who had just entered the battlefield, the general's recognition was the greatest encouragement.

"Wang Chong's words just now reminded me, and now, I have a better way to deal with the Huns!" Shi Min said, a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

"What's the solution?" Everyone asked around Shi Min.

Shi Min smiled and beckoned to everyone, saying, "Come over a little." ”

Everyone looked at each other, then looked at Shi Min suspiciously, and obediently approached Shi Min.

The campfires in the Huns' camp were very hot, and not long ago, they sang and danced to celebrate the return of the invasion of the Central Plains, by this time, many of them were drunk and sleepy, leaving only some of the defenders to patrol around the camp.

The northwest wind grew stronger, and the sparks that were blown up by the bonfire drifted away like snowflakes, and disappeared into the night in an instant.

A Hun soldier was sitting around a fire and roasting it, rubbing his hands together and chatting with another companion.
