On the morning of the 11th, when the Xianbei cavalry went west, Gao Shun confirmed that the method he had thought of last night was feasible. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Qiang finally couldn't help it and asked, "General, what good way have you come up with?" Say it and let everyone analyze it. ”

"Haha, close the door and beat the dog!"

Everyone wondered, why did you close the door and beat the dog?

Gao Shun was in a good mood and asked with a smile: "Do you see anything special about the Xianbei cavalry heading west?" ”

Everyone was still very puzzled and asked, "In addition to the strong soldiers and horses, what else is special?" ”

"You haven't observed carefully enough, the steppe tribes go out to fight, and under normal circumstances, they have to take the sheep as their rations, and if they go on a short-term and close-range expedition, they will also bring dry food or dried meat, salted meat, etc., but the amount will not be too much, and it can only meet the consumption of a few days." Gao Shun explained.

Li Qiang retorted: "The intelligence shows that the Xianbei people are here to plunder the township, they will not attack the county seat, nor will they stay too long, just to cause a certain amount of damage, and then the three major families can justifiably force us to take the initiative to slip away, so there is no need for them to bring the sheep here, and now is the best season for grazing, and it is impossible to drive the sheep here." ”

Gao Shun explained: "They didn't bring sheep with them, and they didn't bring much food, and we implemented the policy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness in the township, and they couldn't grab anything when they came, so they would soon retreat; What do you think will happen if we block their retreat with rocks and make it impossible for their cavalry to pass, and we continue to harass and hold them back? What will happen if they run out of food? ”

"Hehe, general, you are too naïve, they will kill horses and eat without food, don't you see that they are all one man and two horses?" Li Qiangpi said sarcastically without smiling.

At this time, Cao Shan said: "General, I have thought of a way, but it is a bit risky. ”

Li Qiang said impatiently: "What way? Say it quickly, don't ink. ”

Cao Shan said: "General, go to the camp at night, just the four of us, move quickly, move quickly, and here are weeds and shrubs, it is easier to hide, as long as you are close to their horses, you will exchange all their horses for points, and by tomorrow, we just follow them and kill slowly, even if we don't release the trapped camp, only a few of us and the junior cavalry, we can annihilate them before they flee back." ”

Li Qiang said: "Yes, no one would have thought that just 4 infantry would dare to attack their camp. ”

Gao Shun thought for a while and said: "Only my items or ownerless items can be exchanged, now I can't be sure if this method is feasible, even if it can be exchanged, their horses will not be placed in one place, it is likely that each team of 100 people will take care of their respective war horses, so that they will be scattered in more than 10 places, and each of them has 2 war horses, just exchange a part, it will not work at all, I think it is better to prepare with both hands." ”

Everyone felt that Gao Shun's words made sense, even if half of the horses were exchanged, they could still maintain one war horse per person, and they still had strong combat effectiveness.

Li Qiang asked: "General, how far can the materials be exchanged directly now?" ”

Gao Shun explained: "16 meters, if feasible, as long as the materials within 16 meters can be directly exchanged for points, provided that the ownership of the item is mine or ownerless." ”

Li Qiang suggested: "General, when the time comes, let's test it first, if it doesn't work, let's forcibly put those horses into the ring, and then exchange them for dead horses, just have fewer points, or eat horse meat when we go back." ”

Gao Shun said: "It seems that it can only be like this, so let's take it as a test." We must prepare with both hands, and now let the horses out, and let me put the stones in the rings, and build a barrier in the narrowest part of the way ahead, to prevent the barbarians from retreating, and to carry out my plan of closing the door and beating the dogs. ”

"Yes, General." Now that we have a strategy to deal with the enemy, everyone is in a very good mood and immediately starts to act.

The water control (Sanggan River) in this era was farther north than that of later generations, close to the foot of Hongtao Mountain, and the narrowest point was less than a mile.

Hongtao Mountain, the mountains are vertical and horizontal, the peaks and peaks are stacked, the plants on the mountain are scarce, the rocks are bare, and the large and small rocks are washed down the mountain, which is just convenient for Gao Shun and others. After the joint efforts of everyone, the four people used the space ring to load the rocks more than ten times in a row, and finally piled up an obstacle in the narrowest part of the ancient road, about 1 mile long, until it was piled up in the swamp, the bottom of the rocks pile was about 4 zhang wide and about 3 zhang high.

What made Gao Shun feel even more relieved was that after taking away the rocks in the east-west direction, a huge shallow pool was formed on the east and west sides of the stone wall, which had a better blocking effect.

Gao Shun thought to himself, it would be difficult for the Xianbei people to clear a passage in a short time, and they did not dare to ride into the swamp on horseback, and the most likely thing was to abandon their horses and flee.

Everyone was exhausted from the task, but they were in a very good mood. Everyone took out their favorite food and began to eat, Gao Shun said: "Everyone eat first, and then rest for a while, we have to catch up with those barbarians as soon as possible." ”

Li Qiang said: "General, they will definitely not control the water tonight, so we don't have to worry." ”

"It's like, the door is closed, where else can they run?" Cao Shan and the others didn't care.

Gao Shun thought to himself, when the Xianbei people found that there was no one to the east of the river, they must have thought that the east bank was safe, and camped on the east bank; The east bank is less than 30 miles away from here, and there is plenty of time, so he said: "Okay, rest for 1 hour after dinner, try to hurry more at dawn, and then rest well after finding the Xianbei camp, and act in the early morning tomorrow." ”

"Yes, General."

Fortunately, everyone's physical fitness is high, and after resting for 1 hour, their physical strength has fully recovered, but they are a little tired after using the space ring continuously. The horses everyone rode were at least thousands of horses, the speed was relatively fast, and it was not yet dark, and Gao Shun found a large red dot on the map.

Gao Shun shouted, "Stop." Then he reined in his horse, slowed down, and raised his arm, signaling for everyone to stop.

"What's wrong? Checkmate! Found a barbarian? Everyone asked curiously.

Gao Shun said: "Hehe, the enemy really didn't cross the river, in order not to attract the attention of the Xianbei people, let's get off the horse and hurry on foot." ”

"Yes, General." Everyone understood Gao Shun's decision, and the people of the steppe tribe were very sensitive to the ground shaking caused by the running horses, and they could not be allowed to have any suspicions, so that their previous efforts were wasted.

Li Qiang asked, "General, how far is the barbarian camp from here?" ”

"About 15 miles, let's go forward 5 miles, and then stop moving forward and rest." Gao Shun didn't dare to get too close, in case the sentry sent by the Xianbei people was 10 miles away, he would startle the snake.

"Yes, General."

At this time, Cao Shan made a suggestion: "General, I thought about it for a while, since we are going to steal the camp, why don't we adopt the tactics of dealing with the Huns last time?" How easy it is to feed croton to their horses and put croton noodles in the well. ”

Gao Shun retorted: "It's the rainy season now, and there are many places to get water, unlike in Taiping Village, so the effect is not great; And we are not as familiar with the terrain here as we are with Taiping Village. ”

Cao Shan said: "Even if some Xianbei people lose their combat effectiveness, we can reduce some combat pressure, and those Xianbei people who have lost their combat effectiveness will also become a burden to them, so we are likely to capture some Xianbei prisoners, which is very useful for expanding our influence." ”

Gao Shun thought for a while, felt reasonable, and said: "Okay, since this is the case, this method will be used as a backup, and the decision will be made according to the situation on the spot." ”
