The point of Hu Bu's current report to Ban Dun was not to pursue the leaders of the Wuhuan tribe who were responsible for investigating the movements of the New Han army. The point was to report Arturin's suspicions to the king of Badun, and to suspect whether there was an ambush by the New Han army in the dense forest of the Longbei Ridge, fifty miles away from their camp.

This, after Hubu listened to Arturin's words, he was also a little skeptical. However, this place is not far away from fifty miles, and in an hour, the scouts can run back and forth. It is very simple to find out whether there will be an ambush of the New Han army in the mountains and forests of Longbeiling.

But the point is, Hubu now, he's not sure. In fact, in his heart, he didn't believe it, he didn't believe that the New Han Army would be unaware, and suddenly sneaked close to an ambush fifty miles away from their camp. Moreover, he also thought that the Xinhan army was only about 300,000 men and horses at present, so what if they were to get to this place fifty miles away? But is it possible? With so many scouts sent out by their own army, can the New Han Army secretly ambush not far from their camp in this open grassland?

Therefore, for the time being, Hu Bu did not dare to say bluntly that the Xinhan army might have lurked in Longbeiling. Because even if he said it, Badun and the clan leaders in the tent would not believe it, but on the contrary, they would laugh at him.

However, so many scouts sent out for several days did not return, which means that something must have happened on the steppe. Otherwise, those scouts will definitely come back within the stipulated time to report the situation.

But he didn't say this to make a small report to the king of Bunton, and he didn't want to offend people. I had to excuse the tribal leaders in the tent and said, "Great King." We scouts do not return, suspected of missing issues. I can't complain about the leaders. Because, the missing scouts. They are not people of one tribe, but of many tribes. What's more, if a tribe has several or a dozen scouts who have not returned on time to report, such a trivial matter does not need to alarm the king, right? It was only when the last general felt that something was wrong, and then thought of the anomaly on Longbei Ridge, which was fifty miles away from our camp, that he felt the need to report the situation to the king. Or, the King. The last general will immediately send a group of men and horses to explore the situation in Longbei Ridge? ”

"Hmm...... Longbei Ridge is to the southeast of our camp, only about fifty miles away from our camp, and it is not too big a mountain forest, right? From the mountains crosses a ridge on the grassland. Hu Bu, you mean that it is possible that the New Han Army has already lurked there? Is this possible? How many military horses can be hidden in that mountain forest? Badun shook his head and said, "If there really are military horses of the New Han Army, what do they want to do?" Could it be that you really want to sneak up on our camp? The New Han Army they came out of Shanhaiguan only had 300,000 horses in total, right? It is estimated that it will not be all cavalry. You say, is it possible for the New Han Army. Without our knowledge, push those military horses to Longbei Ridge? ”

"Uh, this ......" Hubu didn't think about it, anyway. He himself was a little unconvinced.

"If the 300,000 horses of the New Han Army, they really dare to advance to Longbeiling, then. Our army of more than one million can kill Longbei Ridge in a short period of time. trapped their military horses in Longbei Ridge. Destroy it in one fell swoop. Think about it, if you are the commander of the New Han Army, dare to take such a risk, lead the army through the plains, and hide in the mountains and forests with self-righteousness? Badon asked.

"Hehe, that's self-defeating."

"Great King, it is impossible, marching on the flat grassland, especially the two or three hundred thousand men and horses, there must be a lot of movement, as long as they appear in the grassland, they will definitely be noticed by our scouts and spies, and they will definitely come back immediately to report the movements of the New Han army. You know, our scouts on the steppe, if not ten thousand, there will be thousands. And, on the grasslands, there are also our tribesmen grazing. Once the army of the New Han Army is discovered, it will definitely be known. So, impossible. ”

"I'm afraid that the new Han army may not be able to speak of faith. Our army of more than one million people attacked Liaodong together. The momentum is huge, how can the New Han Army dare to stop it? ”

"Yes, we have sent half a million cavalry to keep an eye out for movement in the steppe to the southeast. Once the New Han army was discovered, they would attack it in groups, kill them with the whole army, and slaughter them on the grassland. ”

……

Many Wuhuan leaders, they didn't think that the New Han Army really dared to lurk on Longbei Ridge, which was only fifty miles away from them.

"If it is said that a small number of New Han troops sneaked to Longbei Ridge, this king believes it." Badun tugged at a handful of curly mustaches between his nose and lips, and said, "Our army is about to march to Liaodong." At this time, the New Han Army will definitely be in a hurry, and it is possible to send a small number of military horses to harass and contain our army behind our army. At this time, our army must not miss the timing of our army's attack because of this new Han army's means. ”

"Why don't you do that, Hu Bu, you're in charge of finding out what's going on that dragon's back ridge. If there is indeed a new Han army, I believe that with your clan's military horses, it will be enough to deal with it, right? In any case, our army is about to attack, and when our army is heading for Liaodong, we don't want the New Han army to jump out and drag us back, especially not to let them threaten the tribesmen behind our army. Badun commanded Hubu.

"Huh? King...... This, this ......" Hu Bu couldn't help but be a little stunned when he heard this, and he felt a burst of chagrin in his heart, and he really wanted to slap himself a few times.

The Wuhuan army opened and launched an attack on Liaodong. With Liaodong's current strength, it is simply difficult to stop the overwhelming attack of his Wuhuan army. In this way, the first military horses will definitely be the first to enter the land of Liaodong and plunder the Han people in Liaodong. And he, actually want to stay and deal with the small number of New Han troops who may sneak near his camp and plan to harass and contain the Wuhuan army? Staying means that you can't take the tribal army with you, and you can't take your own people to Liaodong as soon as possible to grab supplies. In this way, after they finally come to Liaodong, I am afraid that the Liaodong region. There's nothing left for them to fight for.

"Huh? Chief Hubu, you don't agree? Bun Dun looked at Hu Budao coldly.

"Huh? No, it's not. The last general respects the order of the great king. "There's no way for Hubu. I could only agree.

"Well, don't worry. When the time comes, the benefits will be indispensable to your tribe. This king will leave the quartermaster to leave you a batch of food, and you can take your tribal army with peace of mind to guard against the harassment of the New Han army from behind. Seeing that Hu Bu agreed, he said with a slightly soothing face: "Actually, this king would prefer to see that the New Han Army is really lurking in the mountains and forests of Longbeiling. Because, if their army is really there, then. We can deal with these new Han armies first, and then move to Liaodong...... No, you can directly attack Youzhou. ”

"Okay, there's nothing to do today, let's disperse, early tomorrow morning, the army will gather and attack and advance to Liaodong!" Badun got up from the king's couch and waved his hand to let everyone disperse to prepare.

For Bunton. He finally made up his mind to attack Liaodong, and he didn't want to change his decision because of a little accident.

Whether or not the New Han Army appeared in Longbeiling was just Hu Bu's unfounded speculation based on an old hunter for the time being. Even the figure of the New Han Army was not found, even if there was a New Han Army. He also took it for granted that it was just a small part of the New Han Army, in order to harass him about a small part of the military horses. No worries.

Let alone. Now it's going to be another day soon. It only takes an hour for Hu Bu's people to find out the situation in Longbei Ridge. If there is a real situation. I believe that Hu Bu's tribal military horses are enough to deal with the new Han army. If it is the army of the New Han Army. That's the best, he can immediately dispatch his army and wipe out the New Han army in Longbei Ridge in one fell swoop.

If Zhao Yun and Tai Shici knew what was going on now, they really didn't know whether to be happy or worried. Overall, though, I'm happy. Because, if Bun Dun really believed Hu Bu's suspicions, and could believe that the army of the New Han Army had really driven to Longbei Ridge, and immediately dispatched a large army to trap the New Han Army in the woods of Longbei Ridge, then the fate of the New Han Army was really worrying.

It's really an adventure. You must know that most of the woods in the mountains and forests are some evergreen pine trees. However, there are still many dried grasses and trees in the forest that have lost their leaves. If the Wuhuan army really trapped the 300,000 military horses of Zhao Yun and Tai Shici on Longbei Ridge, there was no need for the Wuhuan army to attack, and only a fire was needed to destroy this New Han army.

Speaking of Hubu, he returned to his tribal camp in a depressed mood. Indeed, after he listened to the words of Badun, he could not even convince himself. I don't really believe that there is a New Han army lurking in the mountains and forests of Longbeiling. In particular, he didn't think that it would be the army of the New Han Army.

For no reason, but he got such a good "errand", and he couldn't enter Liaodong with the army to plunder, he was a little unwilling and a little bored when he thought about it.

However, the king of Gatton had already given an order, had already decided so much, and threw the matter to him, and he could not fail to express it.

In any case, let's first find out whether there are people and horses of the New Han Army hidden in the mountains and forests of Longbeiling.

He casually ordered one or two hundred knights to be sent to Longbeiling to reconnoitre, and then make a decision to determine whether there was a New Han army there and how many New Han troops there were. Before he found out whether there was a New Han army and how many men and horses there were in Longbeiling, he didn't want to move the army casually. Even if it was very close, he didn't want to stir up the crowd lightly.

As for Arturin, he was all annoyed and did not want to see him again.

Soon, a cavalry team of 200 people galloped out of the Wuhuan camp and headed straight for Longbei Ridge.

Sometimes, things are just so magical. The success or failure of a war is often a matter of thought. found the suspicion, but did not face it, which doomed the Wuhuan people to failure.

Of course, this is also human nature. Think about it, the Wuhuan people have more than a million cavalry troops here, even if the New Han Army is the strongest, only those 200,000 or 300,000 men and horses, anyone will think that the New Han Army will not come to the front of the Wuhuan army to fight a decisive battle with them. Therefore, the Wuhuan people, from the very beginning, simply ruled out such a possibility.

Therefore, now, when they found something suspicious, they would not think that the New Han army would move with all their troops and sneak to their camp to wait for an opportunity. The difference in strength is too great, and they are not afraid of the New Han army attacking their big camp, not to mention. Have they sent an army of 500,000 to the sidelines?

To know. The Wuhuan tribe is also a people on horseback. The 500,000 troops they stationed outside the camp are not like the horses in the barracks, and they have straight military tents or something. They just lay on the ground, eating and drinking on horseback. Once they spot the enemy, they get on their horses and fight. This situation is not comparable to the New Han Army.

So, Wuhuan people, from top to bottom. They didn't pay attention to this matter, and subconsciously, they ignored the possibility that the cavalry of the New Han Army would attack their camp.

Now, it was still in the afternoon, and the two hundred tribal cavalry sent by Hu Bu, who had a strong purpose, went straight to Longbei Ridge.

In the dense forest of Longbei Ridge, the soldiers of the Xinhan Army have already discovered it. Zhao Yun and Tai Shici. It can also be seen clearly from clairvoyance.

All the generals of the New Han Army were a little nervous, because the Wuhuan cavalry of about 200 people broke into the mountains and forests once they came closer. You can see the dense military horses in the mountains and forests. At that time, the whereabouts of the Xinhan Army, which had finally lurked here, would be completely exposed. So. will also lose a good opportunity to surprise the Wuhuan camp.

Zhao Yun and Tai Shici also already knew. Outside the Wuhuan camp, there was a Wuhuan cavalry army of about 500,000 men. They are ready to fight on horseback. If you rush directly like this, you must be stopped and killed by these 500,000 cavalry. Then, it will be difficult for him to achieve the expected goal in this operation, and it will be difficult to directly rush into the Wuhuan camp. It is difficult to deal too much damage to the Wuhuan tribe. A planned ambush battle is about to be fought into an encounter, a decisive battle on the grassland. These are not what Zhao Yun and Tai Shici want to see.

"General Zhao Yun, General Tai Shici, what are we going to do now? Did you order the soldiers who were in ambush ahead of us to kill them? However, in this way, it will definitely let the Wuhuan people know that our New Han Army has come here. ”

"General Zhao, General Taishi, instead of letting them discover where we are, it's better to rush over now."

"General......

A group of generals, they looked at the two hundred Wuhuan cavalry rushing in the distance, and they were a little anxious.

"Ziyi, what do you say?" Zhao Yun glanced at Tai Shi Ci with a cold expression, and when he met Tai Shi Ci's equally calm eyes, he couldn't help but smile at each other, as if neither of them took the current situation to heart.

"Hehe, Brother Zilong, you better explain it to them." Tai Shi Ci stepped aside, sat on a pile of dead leaves, and took out a piece of dried meat with the other hand and gnawed it.

The two generals have a good heart, they seem to see the key to it, and they have a solution to this situation in their hearts, but this time, the commander of the army is Zhao Yun, and Tai Shici is just a general who came to help, so he doesn't want to be in the limelight.

"Uh, such an unrighteous ......" Zhao Yun scolded Tai Shici with a smile, and then said to the generals: "Okay, don't be nervous." It depends on the situation, you don't have to guess to know, the Wuhuan people must have known that our Xinhan army is in Longbei Ridge. However, it is also very likely that there are flaws in some of our places that make them suspicious of this place, but they don't really know that the army of our New Han Army is already here. Therefore, the Wuhuan people will send one or two hundred cavalry to come now, and it seems that they are probably here to reconnoitre. Otherwise, the Wuhuan people would not have come from the two hundred horsemen, but their cavalry army. ”

Hearing Zhao Yun's explanation, the generals couldn't help but wake up. I feel that what Zhao Yun said is this truth, and I understand that the current Wuhuan people have doubted it, but it has not yet been determined.

However, in this way, as soon as those Wuhuan cavalry troops arrive, won't the hiding of their own army be exposed?

"General Zhao, what are we going to do now? You see, they're getting closer, and they're going to find us right away. ”

"What if you find out? Besides, how could they find out about us? Zhao Yun said disapprehantly.

"Uh...... General Zhao, although the Wuhuan people are hateful and stupid, they also have eyes and ears, we will have to face them face to face soon, why can't they find us? Some generals who didn't understand what Zhao Yun said seemed speechless.

"Kill them, won't they see us?" Zhao Yun smiled.

"Uh...... General Zhao, this, this is to cover your ears and steal the bell, if we kill their people, isn't it equivalent to suing the Wuhuan people, is our New Han Army here? ”

"It's stupid." Zhao Yun scolded with a smile: "Pass the order, play the banner, let the scouts in front of us ambush, kill them all, not a single one, we can't let them escape back." ”

Then, Zhao Yun explained to the group of generals around him: "Wuhuan people, now I just wonder if there is our New Han Army in this Longbei Ridge. Therefore, the two hundred Wuhuan cavalry will be sent to reconnoiter the situation first. Now, let's just kill them. This is tantamount to making the Wuhuan people still suspicious, but they can't get the detailed information that is accurate. At most, it is to make them sure that there is indeed our New Han Army here. However, how many of our New Han Army will there be here? Just scouts of hundreds of people? Or thousands of harassing ranks of the New Han Army? Or tens of thousands of military horses ready to sneak up on them? None of this is known to the Wuhuan people. How do you think the Wuhuan people will react? (To be continued......)
