All rely on the waterside, the camp is ten miles, the flag is like a forest, and the people and horses are like ants.

At a glance, the vast grassland where the wind blows the grass on weekdays and only shows cattle and sheep is full of felt bags at this time, like white mushrooms, covering the grassland.

The Hu people mostly use felt tents to calculate the number of people, and Zhizhi has fought for half a lifetime, and has practiced the eyesight to roughly estimate how many tents are lost by sweeping them at a glance.

"Eight thousand tents!" Zhi Zhi made a toothache-like "silky" inhalation sound, "no less than 30,000 people ......"

"Big Order, what should I do?" Kony Yuri's voice was a little frightened. It's not that he hasn't fought before, on the contrary, in the process of the westward migration of the Northern Xiongnu, he took the lead in fighting Wusun, Dawan, and Dayue. But he has never encountered tens of thousands of enemy troops, and it is a Han army!

Zhi Zhi stared at his son fiercely, like a wolf staring at a wolf cub: "What? Scared? ”

"How...... How can it be. Ju Yuli held the knife in his hand and said proudly, "The child is willing to take the lead." ”

Zhi Zhi's face slowed down, and he nodded: "This is still like words." But don't worry, we have to explore the truth first. ”

Zhi Zhi immediately issued two orders: "The chief translator is an envoy and goes to the Han camp with gifts. General Zuo gathers and controls the strings and hundreds of horses, depending on the reply of the Han army to determine whether to attack or not,"

Ju Yu Lishou and the interpreter hurriedly bowed down to receive the order, and quickly retreated after receiving the arrow.

Zhi Zhi took a deep breath, pressed his hand to his chest, and bent down to Wutuo, the high priest of Kangju: "The evil wolf will not leave if he opens the sheepfold and does not hold food in his mouth. The Han army didn't say hello this time, and he came to the door, I'm afraid it won't be good. Now, it's time to put our friendship to the test. ”

Wu Tuo had been half-closing his eyes, and finally opened them at this moment, his eyes gloomy: "Shan Yu rest assured, I will be able to make Kangju and Shan Yu fight side by side and expel Han'er." ”

Zhi Zhi bowed deeply: "Everything has a national teacher." ”

When Zhizhi ascended to spy on the camp of the Hanhu coalition army, in line with the concept of not punishing without teaching, Chen Tang also sent an envoy to inform Zhizhi of his intentions. As a result, the two sides had the following dialogue:

Shan Yu sent an envoy and asked: "Where did the Han soldiers come from?" ”

Ying said: "Shan Yu said in the book that he was in distress, and he was willing to return to the strong man and enter the court." The Son of Heaven mourned that Min Shan abandoned the big country and succumbed to live well, so he made the general of Du Hu come to welcome Shan Yu's wife, and he was afraid of being alarmed left and right, so he did not dare to go to the city. ”

When Zhi Zhi received such an answer, his nose was crooked. He said that he surrendered to the Han Dynasty back then, and he also said that he would enter the Hajj to meet the Son of Heaven of the Han family, but it was just a shout from the air, you just need to listen to it, is it possible to take it seriously? But this is indeed what he said, and he was speechless for a while. I had to change the topic, and the words and words were all to protect the nobles of all countries who came from afar to be guests, just to fulfill the friendship of the landlord and set up a banquet to catch the wind.

I know with my knees that this is a Hongmen banquet with no return.

Chen Tang's reply was: Shan Yu is really caring, knowing our difficulties, we will be exempt from going to the banquet. Our army "has a long way to go, people and animals are exhausted, and the food is exhausted, and I am afraid that I will not be able to return it, and I am willing to audit the strategy with the minister." ”。 It means that our army's food and grass are really tight, and I don't know if it is enough to eat back. Think about it, do you want to help one or two?

After Zhi Zhi received the translator's reply, he was not only happy, but also a little uneasy. Some of his subordinates offered a plan for him, it is better to push the boat down the river, as invited by the Han army, let's send some grain and hay over, and take the opportunity to spy on the Han army's grain hoard, you can know the truth and the truth.

Zhi Zhi adopted this suggestion and immediately sent thirty carts of grain and grass - for thirty or forty thousand troops and tens of thousands of livestock, thirty carts of grain and grass were only two or three days, a drop in the bucket.

The Huns sent the grain and grass to the east gate of the Han army camp, and when they were handing over to the quartermaster, a bull who suddenly transported the grain cart went crazy for no reason, and repeatedly rushed into many people, rushed into the barracks, and even rushed into the grain hoarding land. Soon, Mad Bull was shot by the Han guards with a crossbow. And the Huns also drew their knives and chopped the dead cattle indiscriminately, whether this move was to vent their anger or to cover up something, it is unknown.

Many Huns took advantage of this to jump into the camp, apparently to hunt cattle, but in fact to snoop, although they were quickly expelled, but they have already made a lot of gains.

As a result, Zhizhi got such information: "The Han army has only a hundred valleys, and it is only used for one month, which is unbearable." ”

Zhi Zhi was overjoyed: "Okay, very good, the Han people will not stay for long!" ”

Almost at the same time, Chen Tang, Gan Yanshou, and Zhang Fang learned of this, and they also looked at each other: This Zhizhi is purely an extra move. I want to know that the Hanhu coalition army has traveled thousands of miles and consumed a lot of food along the way, how much surplus grain can there be? You want to know so much, well, we'll tell you plainly!

So, Chen Tang once again sent a messenger to express his dissatisfaction: "I am only from afar, and so far the nameless king has seen the general and suffered, why not be alone in the big plan, and lose the gift of the host!" ”

We came thousands of miles away, all for Shan Yu, but until now there is no significant person to visit and receive orders, Shan Yu do you know how to be hospitality? Also, how many bites can you eat with thirty carts of grain and grass? You can also give it away, so you are stingy.

Zhizhi, on the other hand, only pretended to make amends, saying that he "didn't have much surplus grain in the landlord's family", and then ...... There is no then.

The two sides went back and forth, and the envoy was so busy that he kicked the back of his head with his heel, testing each other, and Wen fought for a few rounds.

Zhizhi got what he wanted, the Han army did not continue to have food and grass, and he couldn't stay long, as long as he stubbornly resisted and counterattacked, plus Kang Juchi's help, he would definitely be able to defeat the Han army. If the Han army is defeated, the rest of the states will be scattered and defeated without a fight.

Chen Tang and Gan Yanshou also got what they wanted, deliberately showing the enemy's weakness, exposing their weaknesses, and firmly pinning the Huns in Zhizhi City. As long as you don't run, our goal has been achieved, and we will not hesitate to expose the information.

There is a lot of boring diplomatic rhetoric, and it seems that it is almost played. Both sides tore off the mask of kindness, the fight ended, and the fight began.

On the third day, the expeditionary force pulled out the camp, approached the city of Zhizhi, and set up camp three miles outside the city.

And Zhizhi City is also full of colorful banners, the city is full of chain mail, holding a variety of long and short soldiers of the garrison, a large area of Wuyangyang, no less than three or four hundred people. More than 100 lightly armored cavalry galloped back and forth under the city, and the sound was like thunder, stirring up smoke and dust. Immediately, the knight also made various difficult maneuvers from time to time, such as somersaults, reverse riding, side hangings, and picking up objects.

In addition to this, a very strange infantry formation appeared. This infantry was all armor, each holding a large shield, about a hundred people, lined up on both sides of the city gate. Sixty men on each side of the array, divided into three columns, the first column with a shield in front and hiding behind; the second enumerated shield is horizontally framed on the front shield to form a shield eaves; The third enumeration of the shield is like a cover, and the shield is placed horizontally on the second row of shields. In this way, an airtight shield wall that can defend against long-range 90-degree strikes and can be called invulnerable is formed.

Such a three-fold shield array looked like pieces of fish scales from a distance—this was an alternative fish scale array that was completely different from the Han army's formation.

When did the Huns, who were mainly mobile and came and went like the wind, also played the formation?

Just when the soldiers of the expeditionary force looked at each other, the Hun soldiers in the city either waved their weapons, or stretched out their arms and hooked their fingers, or untied their hakama ****, and did their best to provoke the side. A burst of chaotic noise converged into a huge stream: "Fight!" (To be continued.) )
