The army is preparing, the grain and grass are being prepared, all kinds of equipment are being prepared, everything is being prepared, these are huge calculation projects, fortunately, there are a large number of Qin officials to conduct financial audits.

What Xiang Yu wants to do is to reduce the loss in it.

The Qin Straight Road, built by Qin Shi Huang, leads directly to Jiuyuan and is used to conquer the Hetao.

"King, can the concubine be with you?"

On the eve of parting, Yu Ji asked.

Xiang Yu said: "No! In this battle, mainly cavalry, there are also a large number of mounted infantry, crossbowmen, and chariot soldiers, mainly with strong mobility, quick response, and rapid attack...... Fighting, which lasts up to half a year! ”

Yu Ji said: "Be careful, the king! ”

Xiang Yu said: "The Huns, not as powerful as imagined, as long as you grasp the rhythm of the war, fight fast and slow, and end the battle quickly, you can stabilize everything!" ”

"When it comes to danger, it's still a lot worse than the Battle of the Giant Deer back then!"

Life is gambling! Fighting a war is even more gambling. In the battle of Julu that year, many coalition forces gathered, all of them were afraid of Zhang Han and did not dare to advance, at that time he led his troops to cross the river, broke the cauldron and sunk the boat, and broke Qin in one fell swoop.

This battle completely ruined the national fortunes of the Qin State.

It's a gamble.

Xiang Yu wants to set the capital in Guanzhong, but some of the soldiers want to return to Chudi.

The Chu army was in danger of splitting.

At that time, he would rather split the Chu army than set the capital in Guanzhong.

It's also a gamble.

Now attacking the Xiongnu is also a gamble.

Once the battle is lost, it may be another warring state. But I have to fight...... Not for the sake of future generations. ”

"Be careful, King!" Yu Ji said.

Xiang Yu nodded, said goodbye to Yingxue again, rode a black horse and led the army to pull out, and the 200,000 army killed Jiuyuan County and the Hetao area.

Han Xin led the army and set out to conquer the Hexi Corridor.

In Guanzhong, as well as Yanzhao and other places, the border guards are on the defensive, preventing the Huns from sneak attacking.

This great battle, which will determine the fate of the two countries, has begun.

…………

Knock knock!

The Chu army is on the move, and the army of Mao Dun is also converging in the Hetao area, the horn is sounding, and the Xiongnu are converging.

One by one, the scattered tribes began to converge towards the central position, and in just half a month, about 300,000 Hun cavalry, 300,000 old and weak women and children, and millions of cattle and sheep were gathered.

The nomads are all soldiers, usually only nomadic in the steppes, in the summer to the south, in the water and grass in the fertile places to graze, in the winter to a dangerous mountainous area, to escape the cold wind.

Usually scattered everywhere, constantly grazing; But the moment of war, come together.

Every time he marched, he brought a large number of cattle and sheep, which were used as military rations to supply logistics.

"King, King Xiang is the world's fierce general, in the past, the Great Wall Corps fought with King Xiang in Julu, and King Xiang led 40,000 Chu troops to break the 200,000 troops of the Great Wall Corps, and he was brave for the world...... I, the Huns, were defeated by the Great Wall Corps...... Naturally, he is not the opponent of King Xiang, and he should retreat to Mobei! ”

King Youxian said, his eyes flashing with fear.

King Zuo Xian also said: "Retreating to Mobei, relying on thousands of miles of Hanhai, is enough to make the Chu army fearful." Once the Chu army retreats, we will go south again! ”

Mao Dun said: "It's not proper, it's not proper!" Once we wait to retreat and lose Yinshan, how to survive the winter! Once they retreat, at that time, Donghu, Da Yue and others will inevitably fall to Da Chu...... We're going to be in a situation where we're going to be attacked on our backs! ”

"This battle has to be fought!"

As he spoke, Mao Dun became more and more determined.

He is the Xiongnu's single Yu, but the foundation is unstable, if he retreats without a fight, the internal will be unstable, and there may be a tribal rebellion on the way to retreat.

"King Zuoxian, led 200,000 old and weak, retreated to Mobei, and retreated to Shan Yuting...... I will lead my troops to fight against this king of Chu! Maudon said.

"No!"

Zuo Xian Wang said.

Immediately the Xiongnu divided their troops, the old and weak retreated to Mobei, and retreated to Shan Yuting; Mao Dun wants to lead an army of 300,000 to face off against King Xiang.

Soon after, the vanguard of the Chu army and the Xiongnu vanguard clashed together, winning and losing each other.

Riding a black horse, watching dozens of cavalry clashes in the distance, about thirty Hun cavalry fell, but Xiang Yu's thoughts drifted into the distance.

I thought of Han Xin, and I thought of irrigating babies.

…………

In one direction of Zhao Di, Guan Ying led 10,000 cavalry to the north, one person and three horses, one was riding, one was carrying grain, and one was spare.

Among these cavalry, they mainly recruited Sinicized Hu cavalry such as Daijun, Lou Fan, and Donghu, and were good at riding and shooting.

Grain, mainly meat floss and milk powder, does not taste very good, but it is suitable for combat.

It is about one hundred and twenty catties of grain, enough to support two months' worth of food.

10,000 cavalry, under the order of King Xiang, went to Mobei and wanted to pay directly to the royal court.

Along the road, all the small tribes encountered were killed, and no chickens and dogs were left.

Half a month after going deep into the desert, the coalition forces appeared by a lake.

The lake is not big, with a radius of more than ten miles, but the surrounding water and grass are extremely abundant, and groups of cattle, sheep, horses, and camels are leisurely eating grass.

The grasslands are beautiful, the cattle and sheep are beautiful, and everything is beautiful.

But the baby was walking towards the war horse and looking into the distance.

The tribes around the lake were all killed, and this small tribe of the Huns was slaughtered and turned into a Shura hell, and no living creatures could be found, whether human or animal.

"Let's camp here tonight."

Irrigation baby said.

"No!" The people spoke in unison, and each gave orders to begin the camp. Groups of cavalry officers and soldiers turned over and dismounted, and unloaded their tents and equipment from their horses to prepare for camp, and the rangers in charge of guarding also dispersed around the camp.

Less than a moment later, the bonfire was raised, and a fat sheep was set up on the fire, and the smell of roasted meat soon filled the air.

In the midst of the great march, it was finally a short meal.

In one camp, broken wooden barrels, pottery, and fences, and fallen ox carts, and messy marks, and corpses on the ground, and fallen Hun children with daggers in their hands.

Messy and bloody.

On the table, Guan Ying spread out the map, turned on the oil lamp, opened the map, took out the compass, compared the current position, and further determined the location of the Xiongnu royal court.

The operation in the grassland is very different from the operation in the Central Plains.

In the Central Plains, there are strong cities, and it is necessary to defeat the enemy and break through the enemy's cities.

But in the grassland area, the vast grassland, there are no obvious coordinates, and it is easy to get lost in the grassland.

When marching in the steppe, what is needed is to determine the direction and find the enemy, which is the most important thing at this time.

All this can only rely on the Hun guides, maps, compasses, and the stars in the sky...... And luck in the dark.
