In the north of Shanggu County is the hinterland of the Monan grassland, when the winter snow falls for thousands of miles, and the temperature quickly drops below freezing during the day...... For more up-to-date chapters, visit: щw.

The camp on the edge of Daze was full of bonfires, the weary Huns huddled in front of the fire to keep warm, and the long siege and endless skirmishes exhausted their 'spirits', and the Xianbei people were more difficult and brave than ever, like a wolf with wild hair rushing out of the dense forest to pounce on its prey and bite wildly.

The Huns were not adapted to the complex environment of the reckless jungle covered with snow, and were usually powerless to fight back in the face of sudden attacks.

Fortunately, the situation of the Xianbei people is worse, the hiding place near the edge of the dense forest was forced to give up, the mountain 'cave' to avoid the cold and wintering was too easy to be discovered by the Hun cavalry, once it was found to be dead, the Huns released wolf smoke at the mouth of the mountain 'cave' to kill the Xianbei people in the 'hole', in order to survive, the Xianbei people were forced to flee to the depths of the dense forest, which greatly squeezed the living space of the Xianbei people.

The Great Xianbei Mountain area is vast and sparsely populated, but it does not mean that there are many suitable mountain 'caves' to hide, and the fleeing Xianbei people poured into the few mountain 'caves', making the originally small space more and more insufficient, and the two sides faced off in a difficult snowstorm.

"It would be nice if the heavy snow came half a month late."

In the king's tent, the prince Yu Shan held a dagger and was very happy, his first battle was not very perfect, under the protection of 50,000 cavalry and 20,000 Xianbei people in a bloody battle, relying on the god of the king's tent warriors around him to 'shoot' the Xianbei people were defeated and retreated, and he maintained a very calm expression from beginning to end to watch the whole battle. It's good to write a biography as an eyewitness to a battle, but when it comes to personal performance, there is only zero.

Yu Shan is an ambitious man. In order to implement the ambitious plan, he tempered his boring riding and archery skills day after day, and traveled to every corner of the Xiongnu territory, and mastered the detailed information of the tribal population, the location of the pastures, and the wars and conflicts between tribes in various regions.

Thanks to Zhao She's assistance and teaching, Yu Shan did everything perfectly. He personally established a complex network of relationships in the Xiongnu tribes, successfully enveloped the heirs of each tribe and the little king, and formed an inconspicuous but influential new organization within the Xiongnu.

That's a win of your own.

"It's a headache, my first fight was mediocre. The plan is going to be delayed, and in the end it is still a bad move. ”

Yu Shan was distressed by his mediocre achievements, the Xianbei people were like slippery loaches drilling around in the muddy fields of the Great Xianbei Mountain, the dense forests of the deciduous forests were not as lush as the southern broad-leaved forests, and even the dense forests could be entered on horseback, so they fell into the traps set by the Xianbei people. Relying on the geographical advantage, they often fought beautiful sneak attacks, and each time they brought a heavy price to the Hun cavalry search team.

Every day the patrol team members will report a lot of killed or wounded battle reports, the loss is not large but can not withstand the accumulated wear and tear, a long time can not catch the main force of Xianbei also makes the morale of the Hun army very poor, large cavalry can not penetrate deep into the dense mountain and forest area. A small group of cavalry went in and was basically sent to death, and the Huns, who had the advantage, also fell into an awkward confrontation and could not extricate themselves.

"Grain is consumed very quickly. Our grain can last up to half a month. ”

Zhao Shefu on the parchment sketched the map of the Xiongnu left to the west, he told the Xiongnu prince that the detailed map will help guide the Huns to victory, many of the great truths are unheard of in a single unheard, do not understand does not affect the understanding of a summary, his understanding is that there is a map is like an eagle has a pair of sharp eyes to see through the wind and clouds, no map is a deaf and blind, only rely on the local guide stumbling forward.

"There are a lot of cattle and sheep, why can they only support half a month."

"War horses don't eat cattle and sheep, grain is not only people can eat, war horses must eat grain and weeds to survive, no grain can not guarantee the combat power of war horses, in this season heavy snow covers the grassland, whether ordinary war horses can continue to live is still a question mark."

Yu Dan opened his mouth and couldn't speak for a long time.

Counting the increased troops, Shan Yuting raised more than 300,000 troops to fight the Xianbei Mountain, and the Xianbei people hiding in the mountains obviously did not expect the determination of the military minister Shan Yu, they also thought that they could take refuge in safety by hiding in the mountains for ten days and a half months, but they did not expect that the siege lasted for three months, and they were besieged from mid-autumn in August to the heavy snow in November.

The Huns had a very hard time, and the Xianbei people went crazy if they went further.

"The prince is worried, the Xianbei people are worse than us, the supply of grain and grass for the Huns is very tight, but it does not prevent the Xianbei people in the mountains from continuing to besiege and die, we can send the war horses to Monan for the winter, we only need to ride the horses to suppress the Xianbei people, our difficult predicament proves that the Xianbei people are living a worse life, and it is enough to deal with the Xianbei people with the horses."

"The horses also eat grain."

"You don't need to eat, the horse is a bad horse that has been eliminated, and it is enough for the bad horse to participate in the war or on behalf of the foot army, even if you are tired and starving to death, you don't have to feel distressed, and there is no need to feed precious food straw."

Yu Danshen agreed, the special dry food is very difficult to find, the reason is that the Huns do not know how to farm, qualified war horses need dry food to supplement the physical energy consumed, no grain and grass can not ensure that the war horses in the situation play a 100% role, especially in the autumn and winter hay lack of nutrition, in the autumn and winter when the fat loss is serious, the war horse does not eat the grain is easy to starve out of shape until starvation to death.

There are two ways for the Huns to obtain grain, the first is to send caravans to the Yan'men' Mayi City Market, and the merchants of the border counties quietly 'smuggle' is also a way, the second is to take the army south to plunder the border counties, no simple and crude business effect is outstanding, whenever the Huns usher in a cold winter of a heavy snowstorm, the Huns will take the tribal cavalry to the south to plunder, through the looting to obtain the necessary daily necessities, food and all the good things they can see.

The original plan for this year's war was just to fight a plundering war, to obtain huge wealth and grain by plundering the city of Mayi, and then safely retreat to the Dragon City of Mobei to fight with the Han envoys, no matter how many reasons the Han emperor put forward, it did not affect the great success of the Huns on the southern front, the initial invasion plan was executed perfectly, but it was found that the situation was not quite right.

In the battle of Yan'men, those who were beaten lost their helmets and abandoned their armor and fled overnight, all the grain and straw they had stolen were vomited, and all the slaves they captured were released.

Now there is no food, the Huns have to choose a compromise way, with a horse to replace the war horse to continue to act, anyway, the snow will fall more and more knowing that knee-deep snow is all over every corner, at that time both the Xianbei people and the Huns are unable to fight, the heavy snow covers the mountain so that the mobile 'sex' becomes a pitiful number, and the accompanying cold air will make the snow frozen Bang Bang hard, that will be a catastrophe for the cavalry.

The snowstorm outside the big tent is blowing bigger and bigger, and a chill is transmitted into the king's tent through the thick felt curtain of the king's tent, and the slaves and maids hurriedly raise the stove to dispel the cold, and the charcoal blocks burned by the Xiongnu royal court also come from the Han land, which shows how great the cultural influence of the Han land is.

The Xiongnu sorcerers danced outside the tent and prayed to the war Xianbei people, they wanted to use the power of faith to convey the will of the gods, the absurd reasons have never been doubted, because suspicion is a representative of impure thoughts, the methods of the sorcerers are very crude, but the effect of raising morale is not bad at all, at least the main force of the Huns has been corrected and is ready to fight.

"Sir, the snow outside is getting heavier and heavier, it seems that we shouldn't continue to fight, why don't we wait until next year's 'spring' and warm 'flowers' to fight again?"

"Does the prince also think that there should be a temporary truce? It's a pity that Da Danyu won't strike the army, at least not now. ”

"Because of the Hun nobles?"

"Yes, that's right, the Xiongnu nobles have suffered very heavy losses, and they are eager to seize more cattle and sheep from the Xianbei people to supplement the losses.

Yu Shan complained dissatisfiedly: "It's really not enough to swallow elephants, they think that Xianbei people are statues made of mud, do you forget that great-grandfather Mao Dun Shan Yu's attack was blocked, grandfather Lao Shangdan Yu failed to defeat three times, and his father's military minister Shan Yu also attacked Xianbei twice in the past, our Great Huns to Xianbei Mountain to attack Xianbei is not advantageous." ”

"The most ideal way is to lure the Xianbei people to take the initiative to stand up and fight, and use the cavalry advantage of our Huns to strangle the main force of the Xianbei people and then destroy the Xianbei people, but it turns out that the Xianbei people do not jump out stupidly, at least not now."

Zhao Shi outlined the main curve of the map clearly, the gurgling Gonglu water leads directly to Daze, and the eastern Daxianbei Mountain adjacent to Daze traverses the north and south from northeast to southwest, and the mountain is the natural dividing line between the Xiongnu and Xianbei, and it is also the dividing line between the prairie and the mountainous area, the grassland nomadic civilization can not continue to go east into the hinterland, and the reckless mountains and forests to the east are not suitable for them.

Yu Shan looked at the map curiously, and Zhao Shi had no intention of hiding it, while pointing out to Yu Shan to understand the meaning of each symbol and figure on the map, he painted different colors in the grassland and plateau areas.

"Sir, what does the tan 'color' mean?"

"The brown 'color' is the plateau, the darker the 'color' represents the higher the altitude, and the highest mountain peaks are covered with snow all year round, so the peak is outlined with white 'color', the green 'color' is the grassland, the dark green 'color' is the dense forest, and the blue 'color' is the lake, and we camped next to Daze."

"So is this how Han Di draws his pictures?"

Zhao Shi shook his head, lowered his head and continued to draw. Ha novel - 93654 + dsuaahhh + 27340993 - >
