Chapter 564: Covering Gongsun Zhan's Northward Journey

Mu Han has already received the task, and it is still a task directly issued by Gongsun Zhan.

His mission did not conflict with the task of defending the Woohuan.

"Report to the general, the 200,000-strong army of Wuhuan is coming after us."

When Gongsun Chan received the news, he thought that the enemy had been deceived, and he was immediately very happy.

"Very well, let's continue west, find a way to get rid of their army, and then go to their hinterland."

Gongsun Chan continued westward with his army.

Five hours after their departure, the cattle and sheep had slowly dispersed, scattered all over the grassland, and even the Wuhuan people could not gather them even if they saw it.

At this time, they were left with war horses, which were very fast, and galloped across the grassland.

Another two hours passed.

"Report to the general, King Wuhuan will lead an army of 300,000 to the south, and he will be able to reach Youzhou in a few days."

When Gongsun Chan heard the news, he hurriedly ordered the army to stop.

"I didn't expect there to be so many enemies this time."

Gongsun Zhan knew that if the 300,000 elites of Wuhuan went south, Youzhou would suffer heavy losses even if it was blocked.

Mu Han asked, "General, we must attract these 200,000 Wuhuan troops, otherwise it will be difficult for the entire Youzhou to resist." ”

Gongsun Chan fell silent.

After being silent for about ten minutes, Gongsun Chan said, "The plan must continue, there are too many enemies this time, we must find a way to win, even if the entire Youzhou is in chaos, I will also let the rear of Wuhuan be chaotic, so that they will not be able to slow down for a few years." ”

There are too many enemies, and even if Gongsun Chan goes back at this time, he can't completely stop the Wuhuan army.

The Wuhuan army can enter Youzhou from many places, and several counties in Youzhou will be attacked.

If they can't hold back their army on the grassland, then Youzhou will leak everywhere, and Gongsun Zhan's soldiers and horses can only block the enemy in one direction.

Gongsun Chan continued westward with his army.

They ran for two days and hundreds of kilometers.

"Mu County Order, after running for two days, it has been hundreds of miles to the west, and your task now is to continue to the west with the Wuhuan army, as long as you attract them for two days, you will succeed."

Gongsun Chan asked Mu Han to attract the enemy alone.

"Yes, keep going west, and in the next three or four days, you will reach the territory of the Xiongnu."

Mu Han looked at the map given by Gongsun Zhan, calculated the distance and said.

Gongsun Chan also has a map, his map is much more complete, and Mu Han saw the power of the entire grassland for the first time.

"I will hide, and when the Wuhuan army passes, I will immediately go north, and then I can enter the hinterland of the Wuhuan." Gongsun Chan said.

Gongsun Zhan's strategy is already obvious, and the operability is also very strong.

"Okay, I will hold off the enemy for at least two days, and if you can go north smoothly, at least you can make Wuhuan's 20th army dare not go south." Mu Han said.

"But General, I have a suggestion below."

Gongsun Chan also looked at the map and said, "Tell me about it." ”

"When you get to their tribe, don't slaughter the civilians, you can burn their tribe, drive the cattle and sheep away, let them take a few days' dry food, and drive them south."

Along the way, Gongsun Zhan's strategy against the enemy is very simple, kill all of them if he can.

"Why?"

Gongsun Chan asked Mu Han, and Mu Han sorted out his thoughts before replying, "Let these Wuhuan people who have no food and no war horses become a burden to them, if their army doesn't care, then they will all starve to death." ”

"Let them go south to find their army, it is better than killing them, let them become a burden to the Wuhuan army, and also force them to withdraw."

Gongsun Chan didn't know whether to agree or disagree, but said lightly, "I know, it depends on the situation when the time comes." ”

Mu Han has already made a suggestion, and what will happen in the end is no longer up to him.

"I will hide more than twenty miles to the south, and you will continue westward, and if you are not discovered, after a day, I will go north at night." Gongsun Chan found a place on the map and pointed it out to Mu Han.

"General, it's a bit risky, the distance here is only more than twenty miles, and the enemy usually scouts for a range of dozens of miles."

To Mu Han's words, Gongsun Zhan waved his hand and said, "Just hide here, there are some small hills here, and the grass in the grassland is relatively high, if the enemy really detects it, then I will leave immediately and find a new opportunity." ”

Since Gongsun Chan has decided, then Mu Han and the others will separate.

After Gongsun Zhan walked for more than an hour, Mu Han calculated the distance from Wu Huan, it was almost noon at this time, and the enemy was only more than two hours away from them.

"Change horses, and then do not rest, and must run continuously until tomorrow morning."

Mu Han: They stopped here, just waiting for the enemy to catch up.

All the soldiers were fed and rested, and the next thing was to keep running.

The enemy caught up, and the striker could even see Mu Han's shadow.

At this time, Mu Han and they ran with all their might, with the aim of attracting the enemy to the west.

When Gongsun Zhan and them marched, they stretched the ranks, so the range of the war horses trampling the grassland was not large, and it was easy to mislead the enemy and think that it was just a small army.

And Mu Han and they brought tens of thousands of war horses, some of which seemed to be the main force.

So, like this, they took the army to the west.

Advancing all the way and running until the evening, Mu Han asked the army to stop and change horses, and then trimmed them.

They had to rest where they were, they didn't set up camp, they had something to eat, they had to trim themselves, and they had to keep running later.

After less than two hours of rest, a scout hurriedly came over and reported, "Lord, the enemy has caught up, and when they are discovered, they are already forty miles away. ”

Forty miles, and then the scouts ran here, and the enemy might have been twenty miles away.

"Get on the horse."

At the sound of an order, in less than five minutes, all the troops were already on their horses.

"Let's go."

Continuing westward, the enemy soon caught up.

The Wuhuan army chased after them, and they were in hot pursuit.

Mu Han: They have been running hard.

Everyone was very tired, and they had to run about 500 miles in one night.

By daybreak, everyone was too tired to move, and their buttocks hurt so much that they couldn't continue to run.

But the Wuhuan army was the same, they were also very tired.

"Okay, it's a good thing that the enemy catches up, and General Gongsun should have gone north at this time."

Indeed, after Gongsun Chan entered the night, he took advantage of the night to go all the way north.

Gongsun Zhan and they also ran for a night, but Mu Han and them went west, and he went north.

"One more day of running, we'll be able to shake off the enemy."

After resting for more than three hours, Mu Han ordered the army to continue westward.

Everyone was very tired, but they could not stop to sleep, and if they wanted to sleep, they had to sneak on horseback.

The army continued to march, changing horses and not men.

The Wuhuan army chased for another half a day.

At this time, they were more than ten miles behind them, very close, and they could be caught up at any time.

"Then one person and two horses, and the extra horses are abandoned."

The enemy has been fooled, and now Mu Han is not afraid that they will chase Gongsun Zhan, probably can't catch up, Gongsun Chan has been gone for a day and a half, if the Wuhuan army rushes back, it will be a difference of three days, and they don't know the specific whereabouts of Gongsun Chan.

Mu Han and the others could no longer disguise it, because the enemy was already chasing too closely.

When Mu Han abandoned their horses, the Wuhuan army stopped where they had abandoned their horses.

"Cunning Han Chinese."

Now, Uhuan's army knows that they have been deceived.

The Great Army did not go all the way to the west at all.

"Send tens of thousands of people to continue to chase and kill, and the rest will attack Youzhou."
