Dispersing forces is sometimes very disadvantageous strategically, and it is easy to be broken by the enemy's concentrated forces, especially in the enemy's territory, the enemy is familiar with the terrain, and in ancient times communication was not smooth, when it was found that one of the forces was besieged by the enemy and attacked day and night, it was too late to rescue, even if the news was received early, and when the other armies arrived, the besieged army had already been wiped out, and in the enemy's territory, the enemy not only had a geographical advantage, but also had an intelligence advantage, if the enemy was a regime that won the hearts of the people, The enemy still has an advantage in manpower, and all kinds of unfavorable circumstances for the attacking side may lead all walks of life into a desperate situation.

However, Qin Dong did not concentrate his forces on Deng Zhixike's old nest Oman this time, but advanced northward at the same time in four ways, on the one hand, because Deng Zhixike was not popular, in the area he ruled, not only people of other nationalities lived very hard, even the Huns lived very hard, and the reason why he could still sit in that position was entirely because of his background, if he was not Attila's youngest son, he would have been killed by his subordinates a long time ago.

On the other hand, Qin Dong doesn't want to play hide and seek with Deng Zhixik, the area north of the lower reaches of the Danube, north of the Black Sea, and the southern Russian steppe are too vast, if Qin Dong concentrates his forces on Oman, Deng Zhixik leads the main force to fight with him It's okay, once Deng Zhixik is defeated, as long as he doesn't die, or he doesn't fight with Qin Dong at all, but plays hide and seek with Qin Dong on the steppe, Qin Dong will suffer, so Qin Dong takes four ways, the main purpose is to force Deng Zhixik to fight a decisive battle, if Deng Zhixik does not fight a decisive battle, Then his territory in the south will be completely occupied by Qin Dong. Qin Dong wanted to use this method to make Deng Zhixike have to use all his strength to come south.

When Qin Dong led his troops to advance to the south bank of the Dniester River, the Eighth Army Philosophers sent people to bring a message that Zheli's troops were sweeping. The reconnaissance cavalry found the main force of Deng Zhixik, a total of 50,000 people, at that time Deng Zhixik was fighting with Itur, and Zheli was more than 300 miles away from the battle site, when Zheli got the news, he immediately led his troops to the battle site, but when Zheli arrived at the battle scene with the main force, the battle was over. Only a large number of corpses remained at the scene of the battle, not only the corpses of the soldiers to whom Deng Zhixik belonged, but also the vast majority of the corpses of the soldiers of Itur's department. Among the corpses, the searching reconnaissance cavalry even found the body of Itur himself, which was already frozen.

Obviously, when Deng Zhixik learned that he would be attacked from both sides at the same time. First concentrate all the main forces and set up an ambush on the way to Itur's march. Solve Itur first, poor Itur originally just planned to come to Deng Zhixike's territory to fight the autumn wind, taking advantage of Deng Zhixike's war with Qin Dong and having no time to take care of other small advantages, but he didn't expect to take his life on this, not only put himself in, but also lost 20,000 elite main forces.

Qin Dong stood in front of the sand table and looked at the terrain of Deng Zhixik's territory, and speculated on Deng Zhixik's intentions according to the reports he received. He deduced that Deng Zhixik would definitely go south to deal with him next, or fight him in a decisive battle. Either attack one of their own roads, and at this time, Deng Zhixike's main force should be the closest to Zheli's department, so Zheli's department is the most dangerous, maybe he is ambushing somewhere now, waiting for the main force of Zheli's department.

Outside the big tent, there was a sudden chirp in the sky, this is the call of the eagle, the eagle has been circling in the sky and then descending, and then landed on the arm of a young man outside a tent, the young man took out a roll of cloth from a small tube on the eagle's feet, and then squatted down and picked up a large piece of mutton from a clay bowl at his feet and handed it over, the eagle immediately pecked up, and after a while he ate a large piece of meat clean, and when the eagle finished eating the meat, the young man carried the eagle on his arm and walked towards the big tent of the Chinese army.

came to the door of the Chinese army's tent and shouted: "King, there is an emergency military situation!" ”

"Come in!" Qin Dong in the big tent shouted.

The young man carried the eagle into the big tent and handed over the strip of cloth in his other hand: "King, this is the latest report from the North Wind No. 3!" ”

Qin Dong immediately took it and looked at it, and after visiting, he immediately shouted; "Someone, call the person sent by Zheli to report the news!"

The guards outside the tent agreed; "Yes, King!"

It turned out that this flying eagle biography said that a large number of cavalry had been found near Berzani, at least 40,000 horsemen, and that the attire and banner should be the main force of Deng Zhixik, but this huge cavalry team was in a hurry and soon disappeared. This letter of the Flying Eagle was sent by an intelligence agent who had already been lurking in the territory of Deng Zhixik and had integrated into a local tribe. The reported situation further confirmed Qin Dong's suspicion that Deng Zhixike was playing hide and seek with him.

After a while, the messenger sent by Zheli to report the military situation was brought into the big tent by one of the guards, "See the king! ”

"Alright, get up!" Qin Dong stretched out his hand to signal the messenger to get up, and then asked, "How are you resting?" ”

The messenger replied, "Yes, my lord, the villain has slept for a day, and has eaten and drunk enough, and is now full of strength!" ”

"Good!" Qin Dong immediately said: "You prepare immediately, bring more dry food, and bring two more horses, and go back to tell Sù Zheli,' The latest intelligence shows that no less than 40,000 cavalry has just appeared in Berzani, which is likely to be the main force of Deng Zhixike, they are likely to go to your department, now they may be ambushed somewhere waiting for an opportunity, be careful, send a few more reconnaissance cavalry teams to patrol within a radius of dozens of miles, and then lead the troops to move eastward, approaching our Chinese army, Stay in touch at all times', that's all, do you remember? ”

The messenger saluted, "Yes, my lord, the villain has all remembered!" ”

"Very good, you go and prepare, let's go!"

"The villain retires!"

After the messengers left, Qin Dong issued several orders one after another, ordering the Seventh Army Scott and the First Army Su He to rush to Donavitis at full speed to meet Zheli's department, if the three army corps converged at Donavitis, Su He would be the main general, and the other two would be the deputy generals, and then stationed on the spot and sent a large number of reconnaissance cavalry to find the traces of Deng Zhixike's main force, while Qin Dong himself took the Third Army and the Fifth Army and the three thousand Iron Cavalry Guards to advance quickly to the northwest.

Qin Dong planned to do so, with the first legion, the seventh legion and the eighth legion as the left flank, these three legions totaled 36,000 people, although the real force that could be used for the attack was only 30,000 cavalry, but the actual strength was not inferior to the main force of Deng Zhixik more than 40,000 people, the main force of Deng Zhixik originally had more than 50,000 people, but after the battle with Itur, there should be 40,000 cavalry. With 36,000 cavalry after a long period of formal training against more than 40,000 cavalry of Deng Zhixike, as long as there were no serious command mistakes, Qin Dong was not worried about these three legions at all.

Qin Dong himself took the Third Army and the Fifth Army and the three thousand Iron Cavalry Guards as the right wing, and the left and right roads could support each other at any time, because this northern expedition was fought on the plain, there was no siege battle, and the several legions that came this time did not bring baggage troops and siege troops, nor did they bring infantry, all of them were all cavalry, so there was no need to worry about the speed of the march at all. Even if they were hundreds of miles away, the cavalry could reach them as quickly as possible.

When Qin Dong arrived at Lebnica on the Dniester River with the 3rd and 5th Army Corps and 3,000 cavalry of the Guards Iron Cavalry, he received news from the Suhe faction that the 1st, 7th, and 8th Army Corps had all converged at Donavites.

Qin Dong ordered the first, seventh, and eighty-third regiments to go to Vinnia in the northwest, and stationed them on the spot, and then sent a number of reconnaissance cavalry to reconnoiter around, and the reconnaissance distance extended to a radius of 100 miles, he speculated that Deng Zhixik's main force may have been transported there, because in this area of thousands of miles, only Wennia has many hills, if Deng Zhixik wants to hide the 40,000 cavalry, it is most suitable in the area of Vinnia, and he himself continues to the north with the third and fifth army corps and the guards iron cavalry, All the way to the old lair of Deng Zhixik to Oman.

Deng Zhixik's nest is in Oman, Oman is a gathering place of Huns, where the water and grass are abundant, and the surrounding hundreds of miles are flat plains, which are very suitable for grazing, so a large number of Huns are gathered, these Huns drove away the barbarians who originally lived here and occupied here, and most of the families of Deng Zhixik's soldiers live here, Qin Dong led his troops to attack the heart of Deng Zhixike.

Oman is a holy place in the eyes of the soldiers under the command of Deng Zhixike, there are their relatives, there are their cattle, sheep and horses, if Oman is destroyed, then it is equivalent to breaking their backbone, if Deng Zhixik does not want to lose the military heart, it is necessary to rescue Oman, instead of rescuing Oman, it is better to have a decisive battle with Qin Dong.

Therefore, when Qin Dong led the army to Oman and was learned by Deng Zhixike's reconnaissance cavalry, Deng Zhixike could no longer hide, he knew Qin Dong's intentions, Qin Dong was a yang scheme, and he couldn't help but accept it, the trick of hide and seek went bankrupt, and the set used to deal with Itur didn't work at all on Qin Dong, this is the difference in strength.

Qin Dong had enough troops, and the first, seventh, and eighth legions he divided to contain Deng Zhixike's main force, while he took two legions and one main guard regiment to fight Deng Zhixike's lair, forcing Deng Zhixike to show up, and if he didn't show up, he would wait to become a lost dog, which also fully shows that sometimes in the face of absolute strength, a qiē conspiracy and trickery are in vain.
