readx;?? On February 1, 201 B.C., the day had not yet fully entered spring, but a soldier guarding the beacon tower somewhere on the Great Wall of Jiuyuan County yawned and looked at the grassland to the north. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

What he didn't know was that he would be the one to start history on the other side of the world.

After a while, he looked up and turned on the gradually rising morning sun, and muttered, "It's almost time to rotate, and I'll have to take a good rest later." ”

But when he looked at the grassland to the north again, he saw what seemed to be a black spot in the distance.

He wiped his eyes in disbelief, he thought he had seen something wrong. Because at this time, the grassland north of Jiuyuan County should not have reached the time for the Huns to go south to graze.

However, he then realized that he had not seen anything wrong, for what he saw were the black spots, which had formed a more and more obvious tide, and the vibrations that seemed to be transmitted from the ground clearly told him the real cause of the matter.

That is: it was not the tribes of the Huns to the north, but the large armies of the Huns. If it weren't for that, I'm afraid the shaking of the ground wouldn't be so pronounced.

He quickly turned, then picked up the hammer of a gong behind him and slammed it against it.

"Bell Bell Bell ......"

A series of distant gong strikings sounded, and after a few people came out, this small soldier of the Great Qin Empire, who was originally regarded as a soldier with no identity, said in a panic: "The Huns are coming!!"

The others then looked to the north and saw that the soldier had said nothing wrong.

"Igniting the Beacon !!"

A man who was the commander of the Qin army quickly gave the order. In less than a minute, the special wolf smoke on the beacon was ignited.

And then, along the Great Wall of this beacon tower, puffs of wolf smoke continued to rise......

......

Jiuyuan County, Yunzhong County, Shang County, Jinbei County, Yan County and even Longxi County. After the integration of several Great Qin Empire border counties of the Great Wall, almost all of them appeared on the front of the beacon smoke warning.

On the road to Xianyang, there were many heralds from different counties and counties, who were running desperately, conveying urgent military reports to Shuangyueyi.

And Zhang Jiashi received the news that the Huns had invaded almost all of them, and the latest was the intelligence from Yan County, and this information was transmitted to Zhang Jiashi's hands two days later.

Zhang Jiashi had already convened an emergency military meeting after the emergency reports from Longxi County and Shangjun entered Shuangyueyi.

On the afternoon of February 1, 201 BC, Zhang Jiashi urgently convened a meeting of the high-level core of the Great Qin Empire in the area of Shuangyueyi near night.

After receiving this urgent convening order, the civil and military ministers, including Chen Ping, did not dare to delay, but after tidying up their clothes, they didn't even have time to eat dinner, so they went to Zhang Jiashi's mansion from their temporary residence or the residence arranged for them by Zhang Jiashi.

Although many of these people live in Shuangyueyi, many of the generals in the army, including Han Xin, live in some places in the Guanzhong area that are not very close.

Zhang Jiashi did not have time to wait for everyone to arrive before officially discussing this urgent report, but after Chen Ping's first batch of personnel arrived, he formally convened the meeting.

"It is clear that the Huns, as intelligence says, launched a full-scale offensive against our Great Qin. ”

After Zhang Jiashi finished saying this, he waved his hand, and then asked Gonggong Xi to convey two military reports from Li Mian and Ma Sikuo respectively to Chen Ping and others to watch.

After reading the contents of the military newspaper separately, Chen Ping glanced at each other, and Chen Ping, the prime minister of the hundred officials, expressed his opinion without giving in: "The military reports of the king, Ma Junshou and Li Junshou make it clear that the Huns seem to be planning to attack our defensive line in an all-out way, because otherwise, it is unlikely that the forces that the Huns can mobilize will take such a wide offensive direction and attack Shangjun and Longxi County along the Great Wall at the same time. ”

Zhang Jiashi nodded: "That's right, Prime Minister Chen Cheng is right, this matter is indeed very possible, and according to the content of the military report, the strength of the Huns to launch an offensive, in these two counties alone, reached 80,000 people, maybe more." ”

Zhang Jiashi pondered for a moment and continued: "This matter should not be the focus of the Huns, if the Huns choose to carry out a large-scale offensive along the Great Wall, then they will not be able to concentrate too many forces. Unless the other party intends to lure us to concentrate a large number of troops to reinforce us, and then when the interior is empty, it will strike a fatal blow to our Great Qin at a certain point. ”

Li Xin heard Zhang Jiashi's words, and after thinking about it, he shook his head: "This matter cannot be presumptively concluded, the king, according to the opinion of his subordinates, if similar military reports appear along the Great Wall in other counties, then it is very likely that the Huns will really spare no effort to go south." ”

"And our troops along the Great Wall, although there are hundreds of thousands, and even a few knight troops with good combat effectiveness, including the British general, but the troops that can really make Mao Dun jealous, or defend on the Great Wall at the moment, are actually less than one-third. I don't dare to talk about the strength of the Huns' southern invasion of Great Qin this time, but our army along the Great Wall is very likely to not be able to hold out for too long. According to his opinion, if the king did not want to fight with the Huns along the Great Wall, he could only quickly mobilize the knights, including the British generals, and let them find an opportunity to fight the Huns. ”

Li Xin's words actually show one of Li Xin's thoughts, that is, as a general of the Great Qin Empire, among the more than one million Qin officers and soldiers of the Great Qin Empire, there are only two of them, and he is above the others, and he himself does not agree with the plan originally formulated by Zhang Jiashi.

Because according to his idea, the Great Qin Empire would better rely on the Great Wall, concentrate heavy troops, and then delay the offensive of the Huns, and then mobilize troops from the inland counties to launch a counterattack against the Huns.

Of course, Li Xin's idea actually had to admit that it was a very risky arrangement.

The reason has been explored in the last military meeting, that is, if the Great Qin Empire gathers too many and concentrated troops along the Great Wall, then it is very likely to face one point, that is, if the border army is broken through by the Huns, then it will be a disaster for the nearby Qin army.

Because in this case, a large number of troops are divided and surrounded by the enemy, and it is easy to wipe out these armies. In addition, in terms of grain and straw technology, in a short period of time, these officers and soldiers can barely maintain, but after a long time, these officers and soldiers will not talk about counterattacking the Huns, and there may even be the possibility of annihilation of the whole army due to the cut off of grain.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Li Xin had to agree that Zhang Jiashi's plan to use some counties in the border area as places for a possible decisive battle with the Huns seemed to be one of the most feasible methods.

As for whether this method is useful or not, Li Xin does not have a definite idea.

He believed that Zhang Jiashi himself did not have an accurate number for this arrangement.

The situation on the battlefield would be fundamentally reversed by many things, and if the Great Wall were to be held, these defenders would be able to pin down a considerable part of the Huns' forces for a while. And with more troops, the fate of these defenders is self-evident.

In a sense, if the Huns broke through the Great Wall defense system in some areas, then for the Great Wall garrison troops who did not face the attack of the Huns, their existence was equivalent to an outcast who had already arranged their fate.

In Li Xin's thoughts, if the Huns really had an ambush army, the existence of this ambush army would undoubtedly be very likely to shake the war situation in a certain area, and even make the entire front change greatly.

And right now, whether this ambush army exists or not, not to mention Zhang Jiashi, even Li Xin and others don't know.

Li Zuoche, who is currently in the imperial history, put forward a point at this time: "The Huns are moving south on a large scale, but there seems to be no sign of an immediate offensive. The other side seems to be waiting for us to mobilize enough troops to reinforce the Great Wall. ”

"Could it be that the Huns are not ready to directly attack the Great Wall?" Huan Feng, as a guard captain, has no experience in fighting with the Huns, he is not a general from the Northern Frontier Army, but one of the very few high-level people who still served under Zhang Jiashi and originally belonged to the Central Army of the First Emperor.

When he said this, it was more of a conclusion he had drawn based on his own combat experience.

And after Huan Feng said this, Li Zuoche shook his head: "This matter is unlikely, because the Huns are not really enemies who do not know how to attack fortified battles, after the Great Wall was built along the northern Xinjiang, the existence of the Great Wall could not make the country at that time and the border people in the period of the First Emperor as stable as Mount Tai, these people have always been plundered by the Huns or the Donghu people because the Great Wall was partially breached." ”

What Li Zuoche said made Huan Feng nod. Although he was refuted by Li Zuoche, Huan Feng is not the kind of person who gets angry indiscriminately.

And Zhang Jiashi said at this time: "What Li Zhongcheng said, could it be that the Huns are preparing for the corresponding attack at the moment?"

"Quite possibly. Li Zuoche said this sentence, and then said a little: "It was also said in the military report of the Majun Guard, that the Huns were unlikely to launch a fierce attack in a short time, but they had to be defended. ”

After Li Zuoche finished saying this, he expressed his understanding of Ma Sikuo's sentence: "Ma Jun Shou has lived in the land of the Xiongnu for a long time, and his habits of the Huns can be said to be quite understanding, and Ma Junshou said this in the military report, so he should have said that the Huns planned to assemble along the Great Wall, and then make the corresponding equipment and launch an offensive." The Huns are not our Great Qin's style, although the other side is almost all soldiers when fighting, but its transportation strength is not strong, and it is impossible to launch a corresponding offensive from outside the assembly area, thousands of miles away from the transportation of attack equipment. ”

Speaking of this, Li Zuoche was silent for a while, as if thinking about something, and then continued for a while: "Your Majesty, the Huns are not stupid, and it is unlikely that the other party will not be clear about one point, that is, even if they have made a large number of siege equipment in advance, even if the ladder is transported to the current assembly area, then for these Huns, it is difficult for them to grasp whether their ladder can climb the city wall of the attack area. Some of the equipment that does not seem to be too limited is much more difficult to transport than the ladder, and the limitations of the terrain cannot be ignored. Chances are, the opposing side will not directly engage in a battle against a heavily defended area for a period of time, but will choose to be well prepared, or have some strategy to solve the problem they need to face. ”

Hearing Li Zuoche's words, the minds of the participants couldn't help but chuckle, because they were not stupid or arrogant people, the Huns would choose to make siege equipment to attack, and naturally they would choose some means that were not necessarily light to solve the problems they were facing.

And what exactly these means were, at the moment it is difficult for them to make accurate guesses, but there is no doubt that the Huns will not do something useless for no reason.

At this time, Zhang Jiashi thought of one point, that is, whether the Huns would fish in troubled waters, or send people to buy the commanders of some border areas and let the Huns enter the Great Wall, Zhang Jiashi did not have absolute confidence that this situation would not occur.

Although he is currently the regent of the Great Qin Empire, there is no doubt that he cannot know every officer and soldier of the Northern Frontier Legion, or even know their inner thoughts.

If a person with sufficient authority defects, it can have a great impact on an area, or even the entire situation along the Great Wall.

Zhang Jiashi didn't want this to happen, but he really couldn't guarantee that this kind of thing wouldn't happen. And Qin Min's existence, in a sense, is even more of a wake-up call for him.

After taking a deep breath, Zhang Jiashi fell into deep thought, and after a while, he said: "Let the troops of Wang Li, Su Teng, Huan Su, and Yingbu see the opportunity to act, if a large number of Huns appear in the south of the Great Wall, they can act!"

Zhang Jiashi said this, in fact, it was a helpless move, after all, if there is really a traitor who knows something, then this situation is undoubtedly a very serious problem for the layout along the Great Wall.

And keeping the four mobile troops is the best way that Zhang Jiashi can choose.

What Zhang Jiashi and the participants didn't know was that on this day, Yunzhong County, that is, the core of Yunzhong County, Zhang Jiashi's warning to Yang Wengzi played a corresponding role. [To be continued.] ]
