Chapter 110: Preparing to Face the Right Virtuous King (Part II)
In the big tent of the Chinese army of the right virtuous king of the Huns, a general quickly walked into the tent, and the noise in the tent was quiet. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The general saluted to the right Xian Wang: "The Xian King and the last general were ordered to go to count the grain and grass, and found that the grain and grass of our army have been less than ten days."
"Ten days?". King Youxian fell into deep thought, thinking of the scene of the 200,000 army running out of food ten days later, and a trace of worry appeared in his heart.
The generals in the tent looked at each other, but they were silent.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps, and a soldier lifted the tent door and walked in: "King Qiyuxian, our army has found out the news of the enemy."
"What are the troops, and who is the commander". When the Xiongnu Youxian King heard the news of the soldiers, he seemed a little impatient.
The Hun soldiers organized their words a little in their hearts: "The enemy army has about 50,000 soldiers and horses, and the main general's banner is written with a huge Zhou character, and the villain estimates that their main general is a general surnamed Zhou."
"Fifty thousand soldiers?". The Xiongnu Youxian King was a little surprised, why did the enemy's strength only reach 50,000?
The Hun soldier nodded and explained to King Youxian: "King Xian doesn't know that the enemy army only has 50,000 soldiers and horses, and the strength is weak, not only does not defend according to the tribe. On the contrary, they moved forward thirty miles and set up camp to guard against our attack."
"50,000 soldiers and horses, it seems that General Zuo has made great contributions, but it is a pity that ......." The lower the voice became, the lower he was, thinking that there was no news from General Zuo, the right virtuous king of the Huns couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Seeing the emotion on the face of the Xiongnu Right Sage King, the soldier knew that the matter that needed to be reported had been finished, so he immediately bowed and walked out of the tent.
Watching the soldiers go away, there was a discussion in the tent.
"With only 50,000 soldiers and horses, they still dare to go out of the tribe to fight a decisive battle with us, it seems that the enemy will be a brainless person."
"Arrogance, the last general is willing to lead his troops and horses to completely defeat these enemy forces that have appeared inexplicably."
"Our army is 200,000, and the strength of the enemy is four times that of the enemy, I really don't know why the enemy's commander-in-chief would make such a naïve decision."
"Childish? It's so unusual that it may seem like there is something more to it than the last general."
"We must not be careless, maybe the enemy army has a certain amount of support."
The eyes of the Xiongnu Youxian King looked around at the generals in the tent: "What this king is worried about is this unknown force, how many soldiers and horses does he have?" Are there any other forces besides the two known armies? “。
"Does King Xian mean that this force may have the rest of the army? That's why the enemy army that cut off our people's grain route will choose to move forward thirty miles." A military general stood up from his seat and asked the Right Sage King cautiously.
The Xiongnu Right Xian King nodded slowly, and then seemed to think of something, and shook his head again: "There is a certain possibility, but not completely."
"Please also ask the virtuous king to make it clear." The Hun generals felt a little confused, what is called not exactly.
The Xiongnu Right Xian King looked around the tent, saw that they all looked puzzled, and explained to them: "Our clan has deployed troops in the central grassland, so that the young and strong tribes are empty, so that they have a chance. But have you ever thought that if they occupy the tribes, won't our people oppose them? It's just that the tribe is full of old and weak women and children and no one to lead, so it seems to be calm."
According to King Xian's analysis, in fact, the area they occupied was within the area. The dark tide has long been surging, but there is a lack of an opportunity. And the reason why the enemy's commander moved forward thirty miles was because he sensed this crisis." The military general seemed to react and asked the Right Virtuous King.
The Xiongnu Right Xian King showed a hint of a smile: "Opportunity, once our army surrounds the large tribes in the north, the people among them will definitely be inspired." When the time comes, our department only needs to send some people to secretly infiltrate and incite our people. Under the internal and external attack, the crumbling fortifications of the tribe will surely be lost. At this time, the enemy moved forward thirty miles and blocked our troops. The possibility of completely cutting off the connection between the two avoids the crisis of internal and external attacks."
"In this way, the enemy's commander is not only not stupid, but a difficult opponent to deal with." After listening to the explanation of King Youxian, the military general let out a heartfelt sigh.
As soon as the words fell, there was another discussion in the tent.
"Having said that, our army has 200,000 soldiers and horses, and the enemy has only 50,000. With just one surprise attack, our army can defeat them, recapture the tribe and restore the grain route."
"There are advantages and disadvantages for the enemy to take the initiative to get out of the tribe. Once the protection of the tribal defensive positions and the walls is lost, it is not directly exposed to our army".
"The tribe is full of old and weak women and children, as long as the army protection is arranged, it can't make much waves, so the last general thinks that the enemy army is actually unwise."
Listening to these discussions, the Xiongnu Right Xian King couldn't help but say: "This is why the enemy's main general can defeat our 150,000 defenders in one fell swoop." The reason why you can't do it with two large tribes in a row."
"Please also ask the virtuous king to make it clear." There were unconvincing inquiries from the generals.
The right virtuous king of the Xiongnu looked at the unconvinced general: "After a strong attack, the tribe's defense has been broken. Instead of clinging to the broken tribal defenses, it is better to go out and fight with all your might."
The general was dumbfounded, and just wanted to refute. The right virtuous king of the Xiongnu shouted to the outside of the tent: "Bring up the map."
"Yes". Two soldiers walked in with a huge map, and then slowly opened it.
King Youxian of the Xiongnu carefully looked at the map and pointed to a place thirty miles away from the tribe: "Both places are mountains, only the middle one is open. As long as the enemy sets up camp and piles up earthen walls in that open area, he can still stop our army."
"Block?". The generals turned their heads to look at the map behind them, and the generals also turned their heads to look.
The Xiongnu Right Xian King pondered for a moment, looked up at the map, and his eyes were full of confidence: "Defeating our army of 200,000 with 50,000 is just a fool's dream." Therefore, they can only block, at most, they want to achieve the effect of delaying time. When our army runs out of food and grass, or there is a backhand."
"Could it be that King Xian refers to the fact that the defenders of the large tribes in the east will only be able to defeat the soldiers and horses left by our troops during this time and come to support." The military general thought for a moment and asked the right virtuous king.
The right virtuous king of the Xiongnu shook his head slightly: "That defender first cut off the Donghu grain road, and then attacked the Donghu army with our army." I have been fighting with my department for a long time, and I have long been exhausted. If they come up with a tribal battle, they will be defeated."
"And what's that behind hand?". Some generals couldn't help but stand up and ask.
The right king of the Xiongnu looked at the map as if looking for something: "Maybe the enemy army has a large army, which is eyeing in the dark."
"In that case, please prepare as soon as possible." The generals were shocked and prompted one after another.
The Xiongnu Youxian King withdrew his gaze from the map and immediately ordered: "Tonight, our army will advance to camp for 100 miles, and leave 50,000 soldiers and horses to garrison the camp tomorrow night to prevent the enemy from attacking, and the remaining 150,000 soldiers and horses will attack with the king at night."
"Yes". Hearing the military order, the general hurriedly stood up from his seat, bowed to the Right Sage King, and then turned around and walked out.
