Night slowly fell, and the Han army slowly retreated under the order of Tai Lieutenant Liu Ju.

The leader of the Qiang people looked at the Han army that was slowly retreating, and breathed a sigh of relief, with the Han army with a fresh army, plus the training and rest in the past ten days, the combat strength is not the same.

The most dangerous time, the Han army almost broke through the cottage, if it weren't for the sudden blow of the cavalry team, the camp would have been broken a long time ago.

After the Han army returned to the camp, Liu Ju, the chief lieutenant, sent the generals in order to continue the plan and give orders.

After Jia Xu got the consent of Taiwei Liu Ju, he said, "Ladies and gentlemen, there is nothing clever about a certain strategy, but it is just to force the Qiang people to automatically retreat and shoot the tiger plug. ”

Liu Ju said curiously, "Wenhe, didn't you say before that there is no way to make the Qiang people withdraw from the Tiger Shooter?" ”

"That's right," Jia Xu affirmed, "Jia didn't have a plan before, but a breeze blew the blades of grass, but Jia had a strategy to break the enemy." ”

As soon as he heard this, all the generals below were happy, no matter how he got the plan, only if he had a plan.

Huangfu Song seemed to have thought of something, but when he thought about it, he felt that he hadn't thought of anything.

In desperation, I had to listen to Jia Xudao's strategy.

Jia Xu said slowly, "The iron cavalry army is all cavalry, so there must be a lot of forage brought by the army, and a certain strategy is to attack by fire." ”

Duan Ying heard the words and said, "Since ancient times, it is nothing more than fire and water to break the enemy with strategies, but the Qiang people on the Tiger Plug are located on the high ground, and it is until May, although Liangzhou is not under different divisions, but the grass and trees are all green, how to attack with fire?" ”

Jia Xu nodded and said, "That's right, what General Duan said is good, conventional fire attacks are indeed not good, but we don't have to use conventional methods." The shooting tiger is in the northwest of our army, and in the spring and summer of our Han Dynasty, the southeast wind often blows, so we only need to put the forage under the shooting tiger plug and ignite it, and in early summer, the grass leaves are green, and it can become a smoke to cover the enemy. ”

"At that time, even if the Qiang people can stand it, their war horses can no longer fight, if the Qiang people protect the war horses, shoot the Tiger Fortress, then they must go to the outer valley of the Tiger Fortress, then only the iron cavalry can break the enemy. If the Qiang people don't protect the war horses and protect their own lives, then the Qiang people who don't have the war horses will not be able to stop our Han army. ”

At this time, Huangfu Song said: "Staff order, what if the Qiang people send cavalry to rush down and shoot Husai?" ”

"Hehe" Jia Xu chuckled and said, "If the Qiang people send infantry to rush, it is still possible, but the cavalry!" But it definitely won't, just because people can endure the smoke for a while, but war horses cannot. If it's just infantry, wouldn't it be in the hands of our army? At that time, our army will be able to easily take down the Shooting Tiger Stopper. ”

Huangfu Song thought about it carefully, and suddenly realized, Zhengse said, "Song has been taught." ”

Seeing this, Tai Lieutenant Liu Ju smiled and said, "Wen He, he is worthy of being the person in charge of the General Staff!" This strategy is worthy of His Majesty's praise of the country. ”

Hearing this, Jia Xu hurriedly said, "Don't dare, don't dare." But Captain, although this plan is good, there is a loophole. ”

"What kind of vulnerability?"

The lieutenant hurriedly asked.

Jia Xu said lightly, "If you want to achieve Jia's original intention, I am afraid that more than half of the forage of the Iron Cavalry Army will be taken." ”

"What?"

Zhang Chun exclaimed, Zhang Chun, as the captain of the Iron Cavalry, naturally considered the interests of the Iron Cavalry under his command first, and if he took out a part of it to supply the war, it would not hurt.

But take out half of it, isn't that going to cost Zhang Chun's old life!

If the rest of the Qiang take advantage of the situation, the army needs to continue the crusade, and the iron cavalry army without forage at that time will be done?

Dismount to be an infantryman?

So Zhang Chun said again and again, "Taiwei, it's not that you don't want to hand over the forage, you really can't hand over so much forage!" ”

Taiwei Liu Ju also knew Zhang Chun's distress, so he said, "Wenhe, can you order the soldiers to harvest immediately?" ”

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "Tai Lieutenant, Jia Mou observed the sky for a while, and when he said that it was clear, there would be a strong wind, and this wind would blow for a day and night. ”

"Is there really no other way?" Duan Ying asked unwillingly, he finally had a strategy to break the enemy, but he couldn't implement it, which made Duan Ying, who had been fighting the Qiang people for more than a year, very unwilling.

In the big tent, if there is anyone who wants to end the war the most, it must be Duan Ying, because his identity is too special, he has been fighting abroad for more than a year, but he was not sent by the emperor to fight.

During this year, Duan Ying could be said to be extremely cautious, after all, Emperor Liu Hong had no holy decree except for a holy decree to move the Qiang people into Sili.

Duan Ying, who couldn't figure out Liu Hong's thoughts, how could she not want to end the war quickly, so that she could meet Liu Hong and investigate?

Jia Xu's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, and said, "It's not nothing, it depends on whether the captain and the generals dare to use it." ”

"What's the solution?"

"And he shall burn the tent in which the soldiers live, with some of the fodder."

"What?" Tai Lieutenant Liu Ju was shocked when he heard this, and burned the tent, where did the Han army live? Also, the tent to be burned is definitely not a small number, although it is already Mayday, but Liangzhou is still very cold, if there is no tent and frostbite soldiers, it is not a fun thing to mutiny.

Zhang Chun saw Liu Ju's hesitation, and said, "Captain, we can distribute the captured Qiang people's tent to the army after the battle." ”

"It's okay" Liu Ju thought about it, and it could only be like this, and then ordered, "The army will fight a decisive battle with the Qiang people, and the iron cavalry army will ambush in the outer valley of the Shooting Tiger Fortress, in order to annihilate the main force of the Qiang people in one fell swoop." ”

"No"

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, the Han army brought a large amount of forage and camp tents to the Tiger Shooting Fortress.

The reason why we still use hay for tents is because it is difficult for the tents to get smoke, so we can do this by sprinkling water on the hay.

The leader of the Qiang people looked at the Han army with tents and forage, and asked puzzledly, "What is the Han army going to do?" Are they planning to camp under the Tiger Shooter? ”

Seeing this, the adjutant general said, "Han Jun, you won't be so stupid!" If we set up camp under the Tiger Shooting Fortress, with the terrain, our elite cavalry can break up their camp in an instant. ”

"In that case, what is the Han army doing with these useless things?"

At this time, the Han army walked towards the shooting tiger stopper, and when they were in the land of a stone's throw, the army put down the thing and set it on fire.

Seeing this, the Qiang people said, "Haha, the Han people are poor!" It is so far away from my camp that it is in vain to attack by fire. Hahahaha"

Suddenly, a southeast wind blew, and the laughter of the Qiang leader came to an abrupt end.

Immediately, the southeast wind blew stronger and stronger, and the tents lit by the Han army had already begun to burn damp forage, and suddenly a puff of smoke rose towards the Qiang camp.

Seeing this, Taiwei looked around, and whispered in Jia Xu's ear, "Wenhe, such a strong wind, even if it is a direct fire attack, why not use it?" Instead, such a ruse? Most of the tents collected by the weapons were from the Liangzhou army, but why? A certain unbelief is Erjavin and never thought of it. ”

Jia Xu looked at Taiwei and said with a smile: "Your Majesty needs some labor, so these Qiang people can't have too many casualties." In addition, His Majesty intends to take advantage of this to implement the conscription system in Liangzhou, so these 30,000 border troops in Liangzhou need to leave Liangzhou. ”

The lieutenant was shocked when he heard this, and said, "Your Majesty doesn't even use local sergeants for the border army?" ”

"Hehe, Your Majesty has your Majesty's own thoughts, and the Qiang people can't bear it." Jia Xu pointed to the smoky Qiang people's camp road.
