After the envoy sent out to negotiate with the New Han Army was cut off and beaten half to death, he has been in a heavy mood, and he faintly feels that this time, he really can't be good.

Therefore, he immediately made arrangements for his large camp, and immediately placed 500,000 cavalry troops in the east and south directions of his military camp, and withdrew all the tribesmen who had been in the southeast direction to the north of the large camp. At the same time, the people of the Yambu began to arrange fortifications.

However, its large camp was too large and the defensive line was too long to be well defended. Moreover, most of his Wuhuan people are not good at defense, and they don't know how to make all kinds of city defense equipment like the Han people.

There was no choice, so he had to have people go to the mountains and cut down some trees, fetch timber, and made a lot of simple anti-deer antlers and other utensils, and placed them outside the camps east and south of his main camp.

However, the arrangement is also quite sparse, because, after the envoy returned, Badun decided that if the New Han army really did not dare to fight his Wuhuan army head-on, did not pay attention to the so-called faithfulness, and allowed his Wuhuan army to attack Liaodong, then he decided to kill the whole army to Liaodong.

That, before the follow-up horses of the New Han Army went north, it was necessary to plunder Liaodong first and replenish a little more supplies. For the Liaodong area, Bandun is determined to win, and does not think that the Liaodong direction is still capable of blocking the attack of his own army.

It is precisely because of the fact that Bunton is preparing to march to Liaodong, so the defense of the east and south of Daying is actually just a show, and its tribes do not regard it as a matter for a while.

And it's no wonder. Here they gathered, nearly two or three million people. With more than a million military horses, who would dare to openly kill their military camp? Let alone. They are about to march to Liaodong, so what's the use of making the fortifications here good? It's completely useless.

The Wuhuan people, who are lazy by nature, really don't have a few people who can seriously regard their battalion defense work as a very strict and serious thing. Most of them cope.

In fact, it was not only their fortifications, even the scouts who were sent out to search and monitor the New Han Army in the mountains to the east and south, they didn't care, and they didn't seriously search at all.

Tomorrow is the day when Badun decides to march to Liaodong. He will first send 200,000 cavalry troops as the vanguard, all the way to Liaodong first. The main purpose was to open the way for the large army and clear out the scouts or small military horses of the New Han army that might be on the grassland. Ensure that the army is safely killed in the Liaodong region.

And then. His army, and his people. Finally, there is the 500,000 cavalry army that is on guard in the east and south directions, and this cavalry army will serve as the rear army, and finally follow the large army and the tribesmen into Liaodong.

The weather began to cool suddenly, and some of the old and experienced clansmen, they all saw that the sky had been dull for a while, which was a harbinger of the first snow of winter. After the first snowfall, the weather in the north will turn completely cold. So, if the Wuhuan army wants to do something. It's going to have to be early.

Chifeng Mountain, in fact, is just a big mountain in the continuous mountains running south and north, this mountain range. It stretches for thousands of miles from north to south, dividing the northern plain in two. To the east of the mountain range, there is naturally the northeast plain of white mountains and black waters. And to the west. But it was the northern region of Inner Mongolia in later generations.

Separated by a mountain range, the environment and climate are completely different. To the east of the mountain range, the grasslands and mountains and forests are endless. In the west, although it is also considered a grassland, but further northwest, it is mostly the land of yellow sand and Gobi.

The Wuhuan army is actually assembled in the northeast of Chifeng Mountain. Along the mountain range to the south, there are also many large mountains, some mountain forests, stretching from the plains below the mountains to the mountains.

To the southeast of their camp, there was what appeared to be an arm-like ridge sticking out of a large mountain. The mountains are not high or steep, but the woods are gloomy and obscure.

Here, it is only more than fifty miles away from the camp of Wuhuan's army.

The 300,000 cavalry led by Zhao Yun and Tai Shici traveled day and night, more than 200 miles of road, and it took two days and one night to sneak here quietly and arrive in a dense forest called Longbeiling by the Wuhuan people.

The sneaking of these two days and one night really dismantled the New Han Army enough. In the process of their stealth, it is not how difficult it is for them to march. Rather, they took care of their respective horses and tired them a lot.

Think about it, their war horses, not only the hooves of the horses have to be clothed to avoid making too much movement, but even the horse's mouth has to be strangled and covered. Avoid the frightened screaming of the warhorse. Therefore, the war horses drank water and ate forage or something, and the soldiers had to watch and coax, and feed the war horses little by little.

With 200,000 or 300,000 cavalry troops sneaking on the grassland, it is really not easy to avoid the eyes and ears of Wuhuan. Don't say anything is easy or easy, it stands to reason that there is not much possibility at all. However, now, the New Han Army has done it.

The 300,000 cavalry of the New Han Army hid about 50 miles away from the camp of the Wuhuan army.

In this place, the Xinhan army rushed to the military camp of the Wuhuan army in half an hour. When the time comes, it will definitely surprise the Wuhuan army. What's more, it seems that the New Han Army can sneak closer before launching a surprise attack on the Wuhuan camp.

How did the cavalry of the New Han Army do it?

This really depends on the cooperation of all the officers and men of the New Han Army.

The first is the scouts of the New Han Army scattered across the grasslands, and they are naturally the most meritorious. The scouts of the New Han Army, they are not only responsible for finding out the Wuhuan scouts on the grassland, but also have to kill them. It really can't be killed, and it has to be explored for the New Han army to find a more hidden marching route, so that the scout spies of Wuhuan can't find it.

Well, although it is a grassland that has withered and yellowed, however, the grassland is not all completely flat, and there are many places with undulating and wavy terrain that can avoid the ears and eyes of enemy scouts.

The scout spies of the New Han Army have clairvoyance and can monitor and search the situation on the grassland from afar, so they can always detect the movement on the grassland in advance, and they can also find out the secret agents of the Wuhuan people hidden on the grassland.

Secondly, it is the camouflage of the soldiers of the army.

The soldiers of the marching New Han Army and their horses. Basically, it's all carefully disguised by them. They are on their own. The horses were covered with a layer of withered grass. So. When the army marched on the steppe, once the scouts in front. When they found that there were scouts of the Wuhuan army on the grassland, they gave an order, and the soldiers of the New Han Army were able to pacify their respective war horses and make them kneel on the ground and stand still. In this way, the enemy scout scouts looked at it from a distance, and all they saw was a withered yellow grassland. No one was in sight.

The New Han Army, when marching during the day, was on foot, and the soldiers each led their horses to march slowly, and each section of the road had to pass through the scouts, and they would not let the Wuhuan scouts find out, so they would march forward. Otherwise, they would rather stay where they are. It will not be lightly exposed.

At night, when it is difficult to see, the cavalry of the New Han Army will get on their horses and march in the dark.

Anyway. This time the march was not easy, and he was able to completely avoid the ears and eyes of the Wuhuan people, and he lurked in the Wuhuan camp for nearly fifty miles without knowing it. This is indeed quite a miracle. You know, that's a full 300,000 cavalry. In general. Who can completely hide from the enemy, so that the enemy is completely unaware?

It's afternoon. Zhao Yun and Tai Shici touched their heads, and decided to rest in Longbei Ridge, and early tomorrow morning, they would officially launch an attack on the camp of the Wuhuan army. Of course, you have to start in the middle of the night, and you have to act.

However, it is still afternoon, and it will be dark for half a day, and there is still the first half of the night, so you have to deal with it carefully, so as not to let the scouts of Wuhuan find out about the situation here.

You must know that this dragon's back collar is not small, a mountain range that pokes out from the big mountain range is more than ten miles long, and the woods are quite dense, most of them are some evergreen trees, and the army hides in it, and it will not be easily noticed by the enemy. However, the New Han Army had 300,000 horses, and it was unusually crowded when they hid in this mountain forest.

Today, when the army sneaked here, although it did not alarm the Wuhuan people, it alarmed many beasts and birds in the mountains and forests. Many beasts and birds had to flee because this dense forest was occupied by the cavalry of the New Han Army.

This situation will inevitably make the Wuhuan people who have a heart aware of it, and if they send someone to inspect it, it will expose the traces of the cavalry of the New Han Army.

For this reason, Zhao Yun sent a lot of scout spies, including many elite soldiers, to let them touch more than ten miles into the Wuhuan people's military camp and lurk, specifically to deal with the Wuhuan people who might come to Longbei Ridge.

In fact, the abnormal situation of Longbei Ridge did make some people in the Wuhuan military camp notice.

After all, among the Wuhuan people, they are not only skilled in bowing and horses, good at herding, but also good at hunting. It can be said that most of the Wuhuan people, they are some old hunters.

Arturin is the leader of a sub-clan of the Wuhuan tribe. Well, to say that he is the head of the clan is actually better to say that he is the patriarch of a family. His tribe is not a traditional tribe that has been passed down from generation to generation, but since he was a teenager, after decades, some wandering aliens have been obedient to him, or rather, around him, under his leadership, they have been living a life of hunting in the mountains. The whole tribe consisted of only three or four hundred.

As an old hunter who is about sixty years old, he is born with a keen sense of smell, hunting in the deep mountains, he can always perceive the danger in the deep mountains and old forests in time, and can know in advance what prey or beasts will be in the forest, and can always avoid being hurt by the counterattack of the beasts in time.

A small tribe like him, in the eyes of the Wuhuan clan, is not worth mentioning at all, and he is not qualified to see the Wuhuan king as a clan leader. In normal times, he is not qualified to participate in deliberations, and he will not even be qualified to observe.

In fact, his small tribe is a small tribe that has gathered a group of people to follow him and become an independent small tribe because of his personality charm and his skills. Such a small tribe lives by hunting deep in the mountains, and the women are old and weak to graze in fixed places. It is a more typical alien race among the aliens, and it is a slightly more pure alien race. Because they can barely support their small tribe by grazing and hunting. In addition, Arturin does have the ability to always hunt prey. This time, with the call of King Wuhuan, they can participate in the cleansing without leaving the place where their tribe lives. However, his tribe was concentrated. It was discovered when a large Wuhuan tribe passed by, and there was no way. This small tribe of Arturin was wrapped up at the foot of this Chifeng Mountain.

Old hunter Arturin. He's an old guy who looks like a ghost. He doesn't care how many people from the Wuhuan tribe get together, and he doesn't care if it's safe or not here. He is always in a state of hunting vigilance. The place he chose to camp his clan was at the foot of Chifeng Mountain, which was the most marginal area of his camp, because in this way, he could escape into the mountains with his people at any time, so as to avoid the fate of his tribe being wiped out if there was an accident.

During this time, he also maintained a state that only hunting can be. Almost every day. will take some young clansmen in the clan and secretly go into the mountains to hunt. Years of habit made him not want to pin his fate on someone else's hands. It didn't matter if the Wuhuan King was able to distribute food to their tribe every day, but he wanted to get as much food as he could. After all, one more food means one more security.

On this day, when he looked at the mountain, he saw that there was an abnormality in the Longbei Ridge that leaned out along the south side of the mountain range.

Although, too far away. He couldn't see clearly, let alone see the camouflaged New Han army column slowly moving from a distance. However, with his unique sense of smell and observation, he determined that there must have been someone in the forest. The birds that were scared away. and the woods that shook from time to time, all because people had gone into the forest. Alarm the movement of beasts and birds.

However, he is a cautious old hunter. Naturally, I would not risk my life and go to see the situation in person. After all. The Wuhuan tribe has gathered so many people and so many military horses here, even if there is a situation, it will not be his turn to ask. Moreover, he also saw that every day, many scouts were sent to keep an eye on every grass and tree on the grassland, and every move, if there was any situation, or they would have known it a long time ago, and he didn't need to worry about it.

However, he returned to the camp and received an order to march to Liaodong tomorrow. He couldn't help but feel a little worried, worried about the movement in the woods.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, the yellow finch follows, and then there will be the old hunter. As an old hunter who has been hunting for half his life, he is always a little uneasy.

Arturin found the leader of the great Wuhuan tribe that had entrapped him here. Tell him the vision he perceives.

The leader of the Wuhuan tribe that enveloped him was Hu Bu, and because of his strong clan, Hu Bu was highly valued by the Wuhuan king. He has been named the general of the Western Road of the Wuhuan tribe. Well, in order to facilitate the control of the entire Wuhuan tribe, he gave the following clan leaders the names of a general. The general of the West Road, that is, his tribesmen, exceeded 200,000, and the cavalry under him numbered at least 50,000. In this way, it can be used alone as a military horse to attack the tribe of the New Han Army. As the general of the Western Road, he has the right to issue conscription orders against tribes that are attached to him or adjacent to his clan settlements and are not as powerful as him, and those tribes must not disobey his orders. In this way, in fact, he can command 100,000 Wuhuan cavalry.

After hearing what Arturin had to say, he didn't dare to take it lightly, because he knew that Arturin was an old hunter who had lived in the mountains for decades. The reason why this small tribe of only three or four hundred people was entangled was because he took a fancy to the ability of the old hunter Arturin.

Hu Bu immediately went to ask the scouts to observe the situation in the southeast. As the general of the Western Road, he has the right to intervene in these situations, so he is not responsible for this matter.

Originally, he should have reported to the king first, but before he could confirm whether there was any situation, Hu Bu did not dare to speak lightly, so as not to be reprimanded by Tamton. So, he wanted to see if there would be a problem, and if there was, he would report it to Badun, so that he would receive a credit and a lot of rewards.

But as a result, the tribes responsible for monitoring the movements in the east and south, their spies and scouts, did not find out about the situation. However, he also found a very strict problem, that is, many of the tribes that sent scout spies, many of their people have never returned, and even some of them have been sent out a few days ago, and they have not yet returned to report the situation, as if they have suddenly disappeared.

As soon as Hu Bu heard this, he knew that something was wrong, the scout was missing, and these cases, if they were individual, would not be a problem. However, he found that many of the tribes had lost their scouts, and that there were not a few of them.

He only questioned a part of the tribe, and he got the number of hundreds of scouts who were missing.

In this way, he did not dare to slack off any longer, and hastened to meet Bunton, and reported Arturin's suspicions and what he had learned.

"We've had hundreds of scouts missing these days?" When he heard this, he couldn't help but change his expression, and said in a deep tone: "Hu Bu, it's done well, it seems that the New Han Army has taken action." Damn it! Why hasn't anyone come to report to the king about the disappearance of our scouts these days? ”

He praised Hu Bu, and then glanced at some of the other tribal leaders in the tent, and said with a reprimand.

"Well, my lord, you can't blame the leaders who are in charge of scouting the enemy. If I hadn't asked this time, I wouldn't have found the problem. Hubu excused the tribal leaders. (To be continued......)
