Fighting in the desert is very different from fighting in the Central Plains. There are many cities in the Central Plains, mainly attacking fortified positions, and the Qin army is too familiar to fight in the Central Plains. Since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, the Qin army has been fighting in Shandong for hundreds of years, and they are extremely experienced, and it is an exaggeration to say that the Qin army can also fight with their eyes closed.

Fighting in the desert was a completely new topic for the Qin army, and they had not yet experienced fighting in the desert. Although the battle in the Hetao this time was also considered a part of the desert, the Hetao was located in the south of the desert and bordered China, which was extremely beneficial to the Qin army.

It is precisely because of this that in history, Meng Tian's battle to recover the Hetao was to lure Tou Mandanyu to Monan and lure him to the land of the Hetao, and Meng Tian won the battle. If this is not the case, but Meng Tian led the Qin army into the desert in a big way, this battle would be difficult to fight, and the number of victories and defeats is still two.

Although the combat power of the Qin army is extremely strong, and there are famous generals like Meng Tian, the Qin army did not go deep into the desert to fight, and had no experience in this area, so it suddenly went deep into the desert to fight the Xiongnu, which was extremely unfavorable to the Qin army. If nothing else, just logistics was enough to put an extremely heavy burden on the Qin army.

Just look at the great battle in history when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's defeat of the Xiongnu was certainly a major event in Chinese history, but since then, the Xiongnu race has been extinct and can only exist in history textbooks. However, the price paid by the Han Dynasty is shocking, "the world's household registration is halved", what a heavy price.

Of course, there are many reasons for this result, one is because by the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu were already very strong. Far from being comparable to the current Huns. The second reason is that the Han army was not familiar with the methods and methods of desert warfare in the early days of the war. It paid a small price. As everyone knows. At the beginning of the war, the Han army did not fight well, and even famous generals like Li Guang fought extremely poorly, and he always "missed the deadline", that is, he did not arrive at the scheduled battlefield on time.

It wasn't until after fighting for a period of time that the Han army accumulated enough experience, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty promoted Wei Qing and Huo Quzhi, genius generals who had mastered the methods and methods of desert warfare, that the situation changed. The Han army fought more and more easily, and finally crossed the desert, went straight to the north of the desert, and staged a magnificent song such as "fleeing at night" and sealing the wolf.

If Qin Yiren did not take advantage of the current defeat of the Xiongnu and pulled the Qin army to the depths of the desert to familiarize themselves with the characteristics of the desert, then when it was time to solve the Xiongnu problem, the Qin army would pay a big price.

You must know that although the Qin army has won the victory at the moment, it is impossible to cross the desert. Go deep into Mobei and completely solve the Xiongnu problem. To do that. It takes the power of the whole world to do this. This will have to wait until the world is unified, and it will take more than ten or twenty years.

Such a long time is enough for the Huns to recover, although it may not necessarily return to the past, at least it will recover almost. As soon as this battle starts, it will be enough to give people a headache.

Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity to pull the Qin army to the depths of the desert to experience it, it should be regarded as a training exercise, which will play an immeasurable role in defeating the Xiongnu in the future.

"This ......" Qin Yiren asked, making the generals open their mouths wide and difficult to answer.

If you ask them if they are fighting in the Central Plains and if there is anything that can stump them, they will definitely answer no, with their heads held high. However, Qin Yiren was asking about the desert, which was a brand-new topic, a place they were not familiar with at all, and they did not have the slightest confidence.

Huang Shigong, Wei Yi, Li Mu, Han Fei and Li Si glanced at each other, unable to hide their excitement.

Of course, they understood the reason why Qin Yiren did this, Qin Yiren's ambition had been revealed, could they not be happy?

How exciting it is to completely solve the problem of the Xiongnu and not leave future generations with troubles!

"You don't know the bottom of your own heart, do you?" Qin Yiren saw the reaction of the generals in his eyes and said, "Not only are you bottomless, but even my son is bottomless. But it doesn't matter, we can't learn it. At present, the Xiongnu are newly defeated, and there is no Xiongnu in Longcheng, so we should treat it as a march and an experience, do you have confidence? ”

"Yes!" The answer was only one word, but it was loud, and the generals held their heads high.

"Childe, there are thousands of miles away from Longcheng, and there are two most difficult places: one is the direction, and the other is grain and grass." Li Mujiu was in the north, and he was most familiar with the things in the desert, so he immediately offered advice: "The desert is empty, if you can't discern the direction, you can exhaust people to death." I thought that when I went to the desert, I could divide into several roads and march separately, so that I could experience. ”

"Hmm." Qin Yiren, Huang Shigong, Wei Yi, Li Si, and Han Fei all agreed with this and nodded heavily.

If you lose your way in the desert, it is a terrible thing. Because the desert is empty, the left is the grassland, the right is the grassland, except for the grassland or the grassland, it is very difficult to find some references. Yes, discerning the direction, this is the first lesson in going deep into the desert.

Of course, the Xiongnu can be used as guides, but this does not achieve the purpose of training the Qin army, and it is better to let them learn to discern the direction by themselves.

"As for the grain and grass, the last general thought that in this war, a lot of cattle were captured and could be carried." Li Mu then came up with an idea.

The speed of the ox is not under the horse, it can keep up with it completely, and it will not slow down the marching speed of the Qin army. At the same time, with cattle for food, there is no need to transport grain and grass, which can reduce the pressure on logistics.

"Good!" Qin Yiren nodded, agreeing with this.

"Also, to experience in the desert, we have to learn from the Huns." Wei Yu spoke at the right time and said: "Although the Huns are hateful, when it comes to rampant in the desert, it is none other than the Huns, we should learn from the Huns how to discern the direction in the desert, how to gallop in the desert, and how to survive in the desert." ”

When it comes to being familiar with the desert, it is none other than the Xiongnu, and in this regard, the Xiongnu are far superior to the Qin army. Take the Xiongnu as a teacher, learn the skills of the Xiongnu to survive in the desert, and then, come to fight the Xiongnu, this hand is very good.

"This time, we have captured a lot of Xiongnu, and we can select a group of them that can be used by Great Qin, and ask them to go north with the army. When you are on the march, you have to learn from the Huns. Qin Yiren's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice.

"No!" This is the best way to deal with it, and the generals will not dare to disobey in the slightest.

"Childe, since we want to learn from the Huns, then, when we go to the desert, we might as well bring some cattle and sheep without bringing grain and grass." Huang Shigong also came to offer advice, saying: "If you are thirsty, you will drink mare's milk like the Huns." In this way, it can come and go like the wind. ”

When the Huns marched in the desert, they would bring a certain amount of food, and if the food was finished, they would simply go under the horse's belly and drink the mare's milk. In this way, the Huns will not be dragged down by logistics, and their actions will be very fast, and they will naturally come and go like the wind.

Fighting in the desert depends on four-legged horses, and the desert is a flat horse, unobstructed, and it is a paradise for cavalry to gallop. Therefore, it is extremely important to ensure the speed of the march and to come and go like the wind.

"Good!" Qin Yiren agreed loudly, ordered in a deep voice, and said: "We come and go in the desert like the Huns, without logistical baggage, eat beef and mutton when we are hungry, and drink mare's milk when we are thirsty." Whoever dares to disobey will be court-martialed! ”

"No!" The generals commanded in unison.

"Report to Xianyang, and tell me about it by the way." Qin Yiren commanded.

Then divide the Qin army into thirty routes, each with 10,000 men, starting from the pass and marching towards Longcheng.

XXXXXXXX

Xianyang, the Qin people are no longer as "road-oriented" as in the past, and when they meet each other, they will stop and inquire about some news.

"Is there any news from the north?"

"Have the Huns fallen?"

"No news yet? It's really heart-wrenching. ”

Qin people cherish the time, cherish the time very much, meet each other, and a look is regarded as a greeting, which is called "the road to the eye". However, since the news that the Xiongnu were surrounded in the pass, the Qin people were no longer "the road to the eye", and they always had to inquire about the news and ask about the situation in the north when they met.

This can't be blamed on the Qin people, it is really the war in the north that affects people's hearts.

Since Pangu opened the world, who wants to annihilate the Xiongnu like Qin Yiren? Even the three kings and five emperors, as well as the sage Zhou Gong in the mouth of Confucianism, do not have this pride. Qin Yiren didn't say it, but did it, he surrounded the Xiongnu in the pass, the fall of the Xiongnu is only a matter of time, is there anything more touching than this?

Under mutual inquiry, there was no news, and the Qin people were very sorry.

"Hetao victory!"

"Annihilate millions of Huns!"

"The Huns have no return!"

"Capture Shan Yu alive!"

At this moment, a hoarse roar came from the north gate of Xianyang.

The Qin people who came in and out of here stood still violently, and the light in their eyes was as blazing as the scorching sun above the nine heavens.

"Hetao victory!"

"Annihilate millions of Huns!"

"The Huns have no return!"

"Capture Shan Yu alive!"

The Qin people clenched their hands into fists, shook vigorously, and roared loudly in their throats, all of them were overjoyed, even more joyful than the New Year, and ten times more joyful.

They have been looking forward to it for a long time, and they have finally looked forward to this news, who can not be excited? Who can not rejoice?

At this moment, I saw a team of Qin army warriors galloping over, this team of warriors was very tired, their eyes were red, their bodies were covered with dirt and dust, and they were dusty.

As they galloped, they roared loudly, hoarsely, harshly. However, listening to this news in the ears of the Qin people, it was like the sound of heavenly music, which was very enjoyable, exciting, and intoxicating.

The news spread faster than the wind, and in a short time, it spread throughout Xianyang.

"Hetao victory!"

"Annihilate millions of Huns!"

"The Huns have no return!"

"Capture Shan Yu alive!"

Xianyang is boiling, and wherever there are people, they are cheering.

It was not only the Qin people who cheered, but also the Han, Zhao, Yan, Qi, Wei, Chu, and Wei people...... As long as they are in Xianyang, no matter which country they come from, they are all cheering and venting their joy to the fullest.

No matter what country they come from, no matter how deep the hatred between them is, they have a common ancestor, the same bloodline, they are all descendants of Yan and Huang!

At this moment of Chinese celebration, they abandoned the hatred of the past and cheered sincerely! (To be continued.) )
