Chapter 31: Preparing for an Ambush
On the vast grassland, Zhao Wuming pulled the reins and stopped his horse, and the 20,000 cavalry behind him also stopped. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
A fast horse galloped from the front, and when the soldier saw Zhao Wuming, he immediately turned over and dismounted: "Twenty miles ahead of the city lord, I found the traces of the enemy."
"Twenty miles? If it is urgent, it will only take an hour." Zhao Wuming fell into thought, this time was different from the last time. What is needed this time is to completely destroy this group of Hun cavalry, so as not to bring about a catastrophe caused by the leakage of news.
Zhang Liang patted the horse lightly, and the war horse slowly walked towards Zhao Wuming, looking at the soldier: "How many soldiers and horses are there in the enemy army?"
"no less than eight thousand." The soldier thought of the scene where he had just counted the number of enemy troops, and hurriedly replied to Zhang Liang.
Zhao Wuming reacted from his thoughts, and looked ahead, as if a Hun cavalry was roaring: "Eight thousand people."
"What is the lord worried about?" Sun Buer patted the horse lightly and walked over, looking at Zhao Wuming with a hint of doubt in his eyes. I don't understand what difficulties 20,000 elites can have in beating these 8,000 Hun cavalry.
Zhang Liang heard Sun Buer's question, and immediately prompted: "Sun led us on this expedition, but he didn't bring a servant army."
"Servant Army? Could it be that the lord is worried that my Hancheng will be exposed to the eyes of the Xiongnu and Donghu due to an oversight." Sun Buji heard the prompt and reacted instantly.
Zhao Wuming turned his horse's head and looked at the two people in front of him and the army behind him: "Twenty thousand to eight thousand, it is not difficult to defeat them, but the difficulty is how we can leave them all."
"Those Hun cavalry, whether the lord wants to surrender or kill." Zhang Liang looked at Zhao Wuming, his eyes full of inquiry.
Zhao Wuming looked at Zhang Liang, and did not rush to answer, but kicked the question back to him: "The military advisor thinks that these Hun cavalry should be surrendered or killed."
"If the lord wants to subdue this Hun cavalry, our army needs to draw a part of the guards and reorganize from the already tense strength. If the main force of the medium-sized tribe learns at this time, they will divide their troops to help. How will we deal with inciting the army to mutiny, and attacking us from inside and outside." Zhang Liang analyzed Zhao Wuming, and the intention in his heart was self-evident.
Zhang Liang analyzed, Zhao Wuming weighed in his heart, and showed a trace of murder for a long time: "For today's plan, the only way is to kill it."
"Kill? Lord, this is 8,000 cavalry. It's too hard to kill one without leaving one." Feeling the murderous aura, Sun Buer's heart suddenly shook.
Zhang Liang looked at Sun Buer and pointed to the war horse he was sitting on: "They are cavalry, aren't we riding horses?" What is so difficult about riding against riding?"
"Having said that, in this grassland land, there is no danger to set up an ambush. Our army has only 20,000 cavalry, and it is easy to defeat them. It is very difficult to kill none of them." When Sun Buer heard Zhang Liang's remarks, he compared the two in his heart, and then shook his head to express his disapproval.
Listening to the conversation between the two, Zhao Wuming fell into deep thought, and his brows gradually wrinkled. In this grassland of Ma Pingchuan, if the enemy army saw that something could not be done, they scattered and fled. With his own 20,000 cavalry, can he really kill them without leaving a single one?
Zhang Liang listened to Sun Buer's question, looked at Zhao Wuming, and smiled when he saw him frowning: "What's so difficult about this?"
"Could it be that the military advisor has a clever plan in mind." Laughter interrupted Zhao Wuming's musings, and looking at Zhang Liang's confident appearance, his frowning brows gradually unconsciously relaxed.
Zhang Liang nodded and shook his head: "I can't talk about a clever plan, Liang just has a superficial idea." The lord has experienced a hundred battles, and he should understand that soldiers are like water, and all changes are in the heart."
"Lone Nature knows how to do it in this vast grassland. It's easy to win here, it's not impossible to win big, and it's hard to win all." Zhao Wuming shook his head, thinking of the speed and agility of the cavalry, he really didn't have a problem.
Zhang Hao seemed to be thinking about what to do, and looked at Zhao Wuming for a long time: "Where is the danger of heaven and earth comparable to people's hearts, how can the lord know if he doesn't try."
"Set up an ambush here, and then send troops to lure the enemy?". Zhao Wuming seemed to vaguely think of something, and subconsciously lowered his head. I happened to see my shadow in the sun, and then I smiled bitterly in my heart. The sky is bright and the sky is white, and how the vast grassland is hidden.
Zhang Liang gently touched the war horse that sat down, as if prompting and sighing: "War horses can run so fast with people, but what if they don't carry people?"
"Don't carry people?". A brilliant idea seemed to flash through his mind, but no matter how Zhao Wuming tried to catch it, he couldn't catch that thought.
Sun Buer felt a little confused, a good military advisor touched a war horse, and just said something mindless: "What kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd, military advisor?"
"Please also look at the front carefully." Zhang Liang did not answer Sun Buer's question, but asked Zhao Wuming to look at those Han cavalry.
Zhao Wuming was a little puzzled, and looked at Zhang Liang and the 20,000 cavalry behind them. I saw a famous cavalryman in red clothes and red armor, except for a war horse sitting down, there were still two horses on the left and right. That thought gradually became clear, but I felt that it was still a little missing: "My Han army rode three horses."
"The cavalry of our Han army, in addition to one war horse for riding, there are two that are idle. So Liang wants to ask, what does the lord think of those idle war horses?" Zhang Liang showed a smile when he said about the two idle war horses, and with the wisdom of the lord, he should not have to say it completely.
That thought was finally clear, and Zhao Wuming felt his eyes light up: "What the military advisor means, is it to let Gu lead the army back farther, and let these idle war horses run quickly."
"Yes, let the fastest cavalry in the army wave their whips and drive the horses towards the Hun cavalry. The lord is ordering the army, following and killing. When the time comes, there will be war horses to stop it, and it will be inconvenient for the enemy to flee even if they want to scatter." Zhang Liang said what he thought to Zhao Wuming one by one.
Sun Buer listened on the sidelines, and couldn't help but smack his tongue: "Using a tamed war horse to do such a thing, I'm afraid only I, Seoul, have such financial resources."
"If it weren't for the fact that it was located in the grassland, I would not be able to afford such a plan in Seoul." Zhao Wuming listened to Zhang Liang's plan, and also sighed as Sun Buer.
Zhang Liang looked at the two of them, and then bowed to Zhao Wuming: "The lord is pressed for time, since he has already agreed, please give an order immediately."
"Order the military division to select more than 1,000 fastest cavalry to drive away idle horses." Zhao Wuming thought of the upcoming Hun cavalry, and immediately ordered directly without saying much.
When Zhang Liang heard the military order, he immediately saluted again: "No."
"Sun Buer, how many soldiers and horses do you need to lure those Hun cavalry over." watched Zhang Liang turn his horse's head and walk towards the army in front. Zhao Wuming's gaze turned to Sun Bu'er and asked for a while.
Sun Buer thought for a moment and bowed to Zhao Wuming: "Three thousand elites are enough."
"Okay, lonely waiting for you to lure the enemy in." Zhao Wuming saw the confidence on Sun Buer's face and immediately agreed.
Hearing Zhao Wuming's promise, Sun Buer turned his horse's head and ran into the army. Then 3,000 elite cavalry walked out of it and roared away with Sun Fuji.
