The first day of June in the sixth year of the Han Yuande (the fourth day of the first month). Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Eighty miles southeast of the Yang Duwei Office, on the side of the straight road.

Huang Da took his comrades and led the war horse with difficulty and walked out of the jungle.

Standing on a small hillside, Huang Zhong took out a clairvoyant mirror specially given to him by the general of Che Cai before the war, and looked into the distance.

Then, his eyebrows began to furrow.

"Send someone to inform the general immediately - the Huns have stationed heavy troops in Yaoyang!" Huang Zhong immediately ordered.

At the same time, he immediately ordered his subordinates: "Start building a camp on the spot now!" ”

Huang Zhong's identity is not the captain of the combat unit of the Han army, but the captain of the tunnel battalion.

Of course, as the captain of the tunnel battalion of the Southern Army, his ability is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

In fact, Huang Zhong, from his name, you can know that his background is not much better.

Zhong is the meaning of second brother and second brother in Chinese.

Those who take this name are generally common people and Qiantou.

Just like a hundred years ago, the names of the Gao Di brothers, Bo, Zhong, and Ji.

This is similar to Zhu Yuanzhang's name of Chongba.

In fact, Huang Zhong is not even a commoner!

His family has been the lowliest Sikong Chengdan for generations—legend has it that it was because his grandfather broke the law.

In short, Huang Zhong's childhood, adolescence and youth were very difficult.

You could even die at any time!

At what time, Shaofu will not scruple about it, let alone pity what happened to Sikong Chengdan.

The scholars and doctors, who were full of rhetoric and morality, were afraid to avoid people like him, and even felt insulted even by looking at them.

Only the Son of Heaven ......

Huang Zhong still remembers the day when the angel of the Son of Heaven came to him and his brothers and read the edict.

"Today, I am happy to be healthy...... The rule of the three kings is people-oriented...... On the day of the edict, all those who have not committed crimes will be pardoned, just like the common people......"

To this day, Huang Zhong still remembers the time when his brothers burst into tears.

His life has changed since then.

Shaofu and Neishi Yamen soon issued him a new household registration bamboo talisman, which completely erased his identity as Sikong Chengdan - this is also the grace of the Son of Heaven, Huang Yuan knew after becoming the captain of the tunnel camp, this is the worry of the Son of Heaven, after the liberation of Sikong Chengdan, but there is an identity record, which is not conducive to normal life.

Therefore, officials at all levels are strictly ordered not to make special marks and not to deliberately record them.

When Huang Zhong learned about this, he had already sworn in his heart that he would die for the Son of Heaven!

Because, the Son of Heaven is his savior, and he is also the person in this world, in his opinion, who respects and values him the most.

Grace is as heavy as a mountain, it is not enough to describe!

However, after the liberation, Huang Zhong and his brothers were confused again.

From birth to adulthood, they were in the Han family's Sikong Chengdan camp, engaged in heavy engineering activities of all kinds, and were regarded as consumables and tools.

They don't have any skills other than repairing the earth and digging mountains to open roads.

They don't even know how to farm.

Moreover, living in the Sikong Chengdan camp for a long time makes their living habits and behavior incompatible with people from the outside world.

An obvious example is that Huang Zhong remembered that after the liberation, his brother went to the market to buy things with the severance pay given by the Shaofu - 1,000 yuan, but he met a profiteer and bought a horse of silk cloth and a stone of rice for 1,000 five baht, but he still felt that he had earned it.

It wasn't until much later that he learned the truth.

So he took a knife, found the profiteer, and killed his whole family......

This is how the Sikong Chengdans do things.

They don't understand the law, they don't understand the world, and they don't know how to live.

Their past is in the midst of constant labor and the danger of being shattered at any time.

Death, it's nothing, and it doesn't matter if you kill.

At this time, it was the Son of Heaven who reached out and found a way out for them.

Tunnel Camp!

When the tunnel camp was first established, almost all the manpower was liberated.

Because, others, simply do not want to come to this unit.

At the beginning, this was a place where you had to endure the most hardships and do the most tiring work, but you couldn't get a dime of benefits.

Even the grooms in the army were reluctant to participate.

But the Sikong Chengdan did not have a word, and almost most of the liberated Sikong Chengdan joined the tunnel camp.

Not for reward, not for status, just for gratitude.

Correspondingly, almost all the ghost salaries have become weavers in the East Garden of Shaofu and the East and West Weaving Rooms.

It's also to repay the favor.

Thanks to the Son of Heaven, saving them from fire and water, so that they can be upright people, especially so that future generations can get rid of fate!

However, what Huang Zhong and his colleagues didn't expect was that out of the heart of repaying their gratitude, they responded to the call of the Son of Heaven without hesitation, and the tunnel camp they joined made him successful.

Here, he found the value of life.

Isn't it just building barracks, building bridges, and digging ravines......

Can it be more difficult than building an imperial tomb and a fortress?

It's nothing more than repairing ordnance and maintaining weapons......

From childhood to adulthood, he knew how to make these things with his eyes closed, and even knew more about their construction than the craftsmen who made these weapons!

Because, in Sikong Chengdanying, these things were originally maintained by him.

Due to excellent business skills, as well as good organizational skills.

Huang Zhong was in the tunnel camp of the Southern Army, and immediately showed his prominence, was appreciated by the Southern Army Guard, and was promoted to captain, and then to the commander and team leader

Then, during the Battle of Gaoque, he went to battle with Jinwu and made many military exploits.

Especially in Heyin, when the Xiongnu army was approaching, he took his brother and his robe Ze, and within ten hours, in front of the Han army camp, dug a horse trench 300 steps long, five steps wide, and 10 feet deep.

After the war, he was rated 'First Class' and promoted to lieutenant.

I was also fortunate to be recommended to Wuyuan and received a one-month tunnel camp training.

The big figures of the Mo family and the Legalist family gave him special classes, and many masters of Shaofu also came to guide and train his skills.

Now, Huang Zhong and his subordinates are already one of the best tunnel battalion troops in the Han Dynasty.

With Huang Zhong's order, the entire school captain's department, more than 500 engineers, took off the various tools of the camel transport from the horses, immediately cut down the wood, cut off the shrubs, and near a valley, selected the location of the camp, and began to build a simple defense system that could resist the impact of the cavalry.

It includes fences, tripwires, arrow towers, horse storage grounds, and grain and grass storage places.

In just three hours, all this has begun to take shape.

At the same time, about fifty paces in front of the barracks, Huang Zhong also led people to dig three ditches that crisscrossed and could be used as a buffer zone for cavalry.

It doesn't need to be too deep, and it doesn't need to be too long.

It was only necessary to make it impossible for the Hun cavalry to pass quickly.

………………………………

When Yi Zong arrived here, what appeared in front of him was a standard camp that was beginning to take shape.

There is a bar, although it is not high, but it is enough to be relied on.

There was a cavalry sortie, although not wide, but it was enough for the Han cavalry to pass quickly, and more guard and lookout towers stood on several commanding heights nearby.

However, the Huns were also aware of all this.

On the plains in the distance, the figures of hundreds of Hun cavalry have been wandering.

"Our army is at least eighty miles away from the Yang Du Lieutenant Station...... Yi Zong took the map and walked to a lookout guard that had just been set up, observing the surroundings.

His eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Through the clairvoyant mirror, he looked farther and saw more traces of the Hun cavalry in the distance.

Moreover, the road in the distance, the straight road that was originally solid and flat, is now muddy and unrecognizable.

All over the mountains and fields are piles of human and animal dung.

Obviously, in the past few days, a large number, or even a very large number of Hun cavalry, have come and gone from here.

Now, although Yizong is not sure how many Hun cavalry he will face.

But one thing is for sure - here, I'm afraid there will be a bloody battle!

And this is what Yizong does not want to see.

The war of attrition, too bad for him and his army.

Yi Zong knew very well that now, he and his army had less than three days of military rations.

Therefore, if you fight a war of attrition with the Huns like the Battle of Heyin.

I'm afraid the Han army won't last long!

It is still necessary to mobilize and nibble at the enemy through movement warfare.

After thinking about it, Yi Zong called his personal guard, Zhang Xin, who was also the leader of his scout team, to his front and ordered: "Team Zhang, you immediately take all the scouts and go to find out the number and bottom of the Huns for me......

"No!" Zhang Xin immediately took the order and left.

Compared with the Battle of Gaoque, now, the supplies of the Han army, especially special materials, are more sufficient.

In the Battle of Gaoque, there were less than ten clairvoyant mirrors in the entire Han Dynasty.

But now, there are dozens of righteous bodies alone.

The captains and captains of the main force are almost all in pairs.

The scouts who were responsible for reconnaissance and infiltration also did three people in one pair.

This is a huge advantage for the Han army, which means that the Han army can find out the details of the Huns in places where the Huns cannot observe them.

And the Huns will not even know that there is a Han army watching them!

"Command the rear army, accelerate the advance......" Yi Zong ordered again.

The swallow thistle region in the present is not comparable to the later generations.

After all, it has only been less than 150 years since the development of this place, during which it has experienced the chaos of the late Qin Dynasty and the chaos of the early Han Dynasty.

Up to now, many mountainous areas and places here are uninhabited for hundreds of miles, and even in many places, there is no trace of human activities.

The fastest light horseman, so far, only 5,000 people have arrived here.

The rest are still struggling to trek through the mountains and trails behind.

The whole team stretched for thirty or forty miles long and seventy or eighty miles wide in the vast mountainous area.

It was clear to him that before nightfall to-day, he would have to get his troops and heavy equipment all here, and then make repairs, and wait until dawn tomorrow to decide on the discovery and strategy of the attack.

Thinking of this, Yizong had to pat his chest happily.

He was very glad that he brought a camel with him in this march, this kind of rare beast is not common in the Han Dynasty, and there were even only two heads in Shanglin Yuan - that was given to the Han Dynasty by the old Shangshan Yu of the Huns.

However, in the Battle of Mayi and the Battle of Gaoque, the Han family captured more than 10,000 of these strange exotic animals.

This strange beast may be inferior to cattle and horses in other ways.

However, in terms of endurance and transportation, it has advantages, especially the heavy equipment that carries the cuirass, which is very powerful.

Along the way, thanks to these hard-working beasts, otherwise, the cuirass troops of the Han army would probably have taken at least three days to reach this place.

But now, it can barely keep up with the large army.

It's just that......

Yi indulges in his heart, but he is still a little anxious.

In his plan, he chose to intersperse with the Yaoyang area, which should be a surprise attack.

Even, it only takes a few hundred horsemen to recapture Yaoyang, and at the same time surprise attack Baitan, completely block the water and wet, and cut off the retreat of the Huns.

So as to achieve the purpose of mobilizing and consuming the main force of the Xiongnu.

But now......

The Huns have heavy troops in the Yaoyang area!

And there are quite a few of them, and it is simply impossible to take them down with a few hundred rides.

This bankrupted his plans, and the movement war could turn into a war of attrition.

This is what the righteous ruler does not want to see.

…………………………

But how did Yizong know that on the opposite side of him, the Huns were also taken aback by his appearance.

The person responsible for presiding over the evacuation here was originally Huyan Dangtu, but now, Huyan Dangtu went to Yuyang to discuss with the military ministers, and the one who stayed to preside over the evacuation work became the captain of the royal court guards of the military ministers.

It is a clan of the Xiongnu royal court.

At the same time, it is also a dogleg that has been only for generations.

In history, the members of the Yan clan, in the early stage of Han-Hun exchanges, had many times as an envoy to Chang'an, dealing with Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty, Empress Lu and Taizong.

As the personal guard of the Xiongnu Shan Yu, after getting the information that the traces of the Han army were discovered, on the one hand, he immediately sent someone to report to the military ministers, and on the other hand, he immediately ordered the soldiers and horses and waited solemnly.

Unlike the big clans of Huyan, Lan, and Xubu, the Ji Yan clan is just a small clan that is attached to Shanyu.

In the past dynasties, it has been given to Shan Yu as a messenger or a bodyguard.

I don't have any experience in battle battles.

After discovering the Han army, the first reaction of the disaster was to shrink the troops and strengthen the vigilance, and then send the army to monitor and find out the origin and details of the Han army.

Since it is not clear how many people this Han army is, it is not known where they came from.

But it is difficult for the eunuch to know, he must stick to the yang, and the yang must not be lost.

Otherwise, the end of the Huns will definitely come.

What's more, he also shoulders the heavy responsibility of sending those two or three hundred thousand livestock to the grassland.

So, for a while, he was also very difficult.

But what he didn't know was that his masters were now even more difficult.

…………………………

"The people of the Han Dynasty are really going to the sun!"

"This is going to cut us off!"

After many Xiongnu nobles learned the news, they began to discuss, and the military ministers and his royal nobles looked even more serious, because they knew what the Han army was coming from.
