In the sixth year of the Han Yuande, in October Yiwei (the fourth day of the first month), southeast of Heyin, the Han military camp. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Today, the weather is not very good.

The north wind howled over the hills, blowing up dust and fallen leaves from the grasslands.

In the dune zone on the south side of the thorns, there were even sandstorms.

Sand and stones mixed with ice and snow slammed on the Han army's camp, making strange noises.

Now, the camp of this Han army is completely different from yesterday.

The camp of the Han army, with its back to the frozen river, has more than a dozen pontoon bridges of different sizes built on the river.

On the pontoon bridge, truckloads of materials were constantly transported across the river.

Arrows and parts for crossbow machines that were urgently needed by the Han army were delivered.

The Han army was a big user of arrows.

Two years ago, a battle of Mayi consumed millions of arrows!

Basically, every battle must start with a bow and crossbow cover.

Zhidu stood on the bank of the river, watching the bodies of more than 30 wounded soldiers of the Han army and more than 20 comrades who died in the battle leave his sight.

Since the Battle of Mayi, the Han army has attached great importance to the care of wounded soldiers, as well as the mourning and bereavement of comrades who died in battle.

The chariot general Yizong even personally litigated the bereavement of a soldier who died in battle.

This lawsuit went directly to the Son of Heaven, successfully won the due treatment for the soldier, and even drove several officials home to farm.

He was respected by the Han army.

At the same time, it has also set a benchmark and redefined the term 'love soldiers are like children'.

Today, if you want to unify the army as a general, you have to try to keep up with righteousness.

Otherwise, if the eight masters of Qiu start to lose their temper, even if they are generals, life will not be easy.

Don't even think the soldiers will do things for you.

I didn't touch into your barracks in the middle of the night and clicked you, which is already very embarrassing.

Sending away the wounded soldiers and the remains of the war dead, Zhi Du put away the solemn look on his face and led the generals to the front line of the current Han army camp.

After a whole afternoon of hard work yesterday and this morning.

The main force of the Han army not only successfully arrived here, but also gave the Han army a surprise to the accompanying tunnel battalion soldiers.

For example, the criss-crossing trenches that appear in front of Zhidu's eyes now are criss-crossed, with different shades.

There were as many as seven or eight of these horse traps, completely covering the most vulnerable parts of the Han army.

What's even better is that the soil dug out of the horse trenches was also picked up by the soldiers of these tunnel camps to the Han army camp, and now, a few simple walls have been built.

"The tunnel camp is really easy to use!" Zhi Du looked at this scene and praised it.

In the past, the Han army basically didn't pay attention to the role of the tunnel team, and regarded them as miscellaneous soy sauce people and prisoners to be punished, driving and **** at will, and even, never giving them half a cent of color.

But now, the tunnel camp has won the respect of the subordinates of Zhidu with facts!

Their ability to build all kinds of fortifications and defenses is indeed far beyond Zhidu's imagination.

It's been less than a morning!

The engineers of the tunnel battalion have already established a simple but three-dimensional defense system for the Han army.

If the Hun cavalry wanted to approach the Han army camp as simply as yesterday, it was basically no different from dreaming!

Now, they want to get close to the Han army camp without killing and wounding hundreds of people first, and they don't even want to touch the corner of the Han army!

If they were given a few more days, Zhi Du believed that they should be able to establish and improve a standard Han army field camp here.

Of course, it is impossible to win by defense, by defense.

In war, the side that is passively on the defensives is the stupidest!

Not to mention, if the Zhidu Department plans to retreat in this fortification.

Then the Huns will die of laughter.

They completely ignored the Zhidu Division, and went to block the supply routes and retreats of the Han army first.

And only by maintaining an offensive state and constantly attacking can the Huns not dare to put the main forces into the blockade.

In addition, the offense is also for the needs of defense!

The Han army, the territory it controls now is too small.

More than 10,000 troops, crowded in an area of more than ten miles, is lively, but it is also depressingly breathless.

There are many things that naturally cannot be done by hand.

Therefore, Zhi Du knew very well that he had to expand his control area while gaining a foothold on defense.

It was impossible to defeat the Hun cavalry on the opposite side, that's for sure!

But snatching a few pieces of meat from the mouths of the Huns to eat is also a must!

Holding a clairvoyant mirror, Zhidu looked at the northwest side.

Where, once a grove, surrounded by several natural pools.

But it's a pity that now it has been burned by the Huns, and the ruins of the woods are still smoking!

Zhidu carefully observed this place, and quietly calculated in his heart the price and preparation that needed to be paid to occupy the place.

That place, Zhidu had already noticed when he just arrived on this side of Heyin yesterday.

Now, he has decided that it is a place that must be occupied.

The reason is simple, there is a slightly undulating hill in front of the woods that can act as a barrier, and at the same time, occupy the local area, and can also protect the supply lines of the Han army.

At least it can play a covering role - if the Huns want to send troops to intercept the Han army's supply convoy from Zengshan Pass, then there are only a few directions they can choose to send their troops.

And among those roads, it is most convenient to go out of the canyon from the northwest side, bypassing the ancient mountains.

In addition, after occupying this place, the Han army can greatly expand its area of activity.

Although it is impossible to compare with the Huns, at least, it also has the space for strategic activities, and there is no need to be like now, no matter what you do, you are under the surveillance of the Huns.

But......

Zhidu still had doubts in his heart.

The local area was so important that it was impossible for the Huns not to know about it.

For the Huns, Zhi has studied it, and he knows very well that these people of the steppe with bows, although they have no culture, their language is rude, and their behavior is debauched.

However, they were born on horseback and died on horseback.

They walked in the Gobi and the desert, crossed the grassland, and traveled from south to north.

The perception of geography and the sensitivity to topography are very strong.

There are many similar examples in the loyal army - they don't know a single big word, but they can clearly lead their comrades, climb through the mountains, follow the path, and break into a key node.

Ask them why they're doing it.

Nine times out of ten, it is ignorance.

But instead, they made the right choice!

Therefore, Zhidu suspects that the local area is a trap.

A death trap for the Han army!

Perhaps, the Hun commander on the opposite side was waiting for his order to attack the place.

After all, in this steppe, it is the cavalry who sings the leading role.

And cavalry, by nature, is a branch of the army that strikes and advances quickly.

Moreover, the equestrian and riding skills of the Huns were beyond the reach of the Han army.

It is entirely possible that when the Han army went to the local area, they suddenly poured out from all directions, seized the disadvantage of the Han army's unstable foothold and weak troops, and ate that army in one fell swoop.

Look at the geography and landforms of that area in the clairnair.

Zhi swallowed.

"I want to find a way to test a ...... or two" Zhi Du thought in his heart, and then, he moved the barrel of the clairvoyant mirror slightly to the southwest, looking at the Hun Daxu and the undulating dome that appeared in sight, Zhi Du touched his chin and smiled: "There is!" ”

At this time, a flag of the main general was raised high above the camp tent of the Han army.

On the flag, a big Zhi character is particularly conspicuous, in addition, the yak on the military flag is also enough to prove the identity of Zhidu.

Zhidu looked back at the raised flag, put away the clairvoyant mirror, and said to the left and right: "Now, the Huns are going crazy!" ”

But what......

Zhidu hopes that the crazier they are, the better!

Zhidu didn't want to meet a sane Hun boss.

That would be too boring!

"Prepare the crossbowmen for battle!" Zhidu ordered: "The Huns are probably coming!" ”

"No!"

………………………………………………

Huyan Dangtu does not have a clairfront mirror, so it is naturally difficult to observe the details of the Han army camp.

He could only stand on a hillside, looking at the Han army camp in the distance.

"King Lu Hou, your ten thousand horsemen have already set off?" Hu Yan Dangtu asked the King Lu Hou beside him.

"General Zuo, the ten thousand horsemen of the minions, have already circled the mountain early this morning...... "King Lu Hou replied cautiously.

"Good!" Hu Yan Dangtu rubbed his hands and focused his gaze on a forest diagonally opposite him, he dusted off the brim of his hat and asked, "Where are the ten thousand horses of King Hutu and King Hun Evil?" ”

"Return to the master, the ten thousand horsemen of the Hun Evil King and the Hutu King will arrive about the day after tomorrow!" A close confidant reported.

The headquarters of the Evil Cult and the Slaughter were active in the vicinity of the Hexi Corridor.

If they want to come to Heyin, they need to go through Yin Mountain, and to be reasonable, this speed is actually very good.

But Hu Yan Dangtu was very dissatisfied, he snorted coldly, and said, "Send someone to tell King Hutu and King Hun that if their ten thousand horsemen have not come to me by this time tomorrow, then they will not be used!" ”

The Huns had no law, so naturally there was no crime.

Therefore, under the Xiongnu language system, 'don't need' and 'don't use' are actually synonymous with capital crimes.

What is not needed will be discarded, and the useless tribes will be divided.

As for Huyan Dangtu, the Hun Evil Tribe and the Hutu Tribe are already very close to 'need'.

If they could no longer show their worth, then Huyan Dangtu would not mind letting the two tribes change leaders.

It is not even ruled out that the possibility of making them disappear completely!

The Hun Empire, which does not raise waste and useless minions.

In the culture of the Huns, even slaves had to be 'useful'.

Otherwise, why would the master raise you?

Especially now, Huyan Dangtu needs a large number of qualified cannon fodder to fill the trenches of the Han Dynasty and exchange lives with the Han Dynasty!

Anyway, something else on the prairie might be precious.

But......

Human life is the cheapest!

Especially the lives of those tribes who are vassal overlords are so cheap that they are not as good as mustard! (To be continued.) )
