Smoke and dust billowed from the grasslands.

Liu Heng faithfully carried out Yang Zheng's orders, and all the places where the autumn grass was lush were burned.

The most difficult part of the grassland is winter, and autumn grass is harvested every autumn to store forage for the winter.

This fire burned from the north of Yinshan Mountain to Yanran Mountain.

Liu Heng is a good hand at killing people and setting fires, and everything that can be burned, whether it is grass or trees, is burned.

Peng Hu's eyelids jumped, "If this fire goes down, I don't know how many people and animals will starve to death in the grassland this year." ”

"These are starving to death!" Liu Heng said viciously.

"Our army is so ...... As a result, the Mobei tribes will unite and take a risk. "The bald tree function is quiet.

This kind of method of cutting off children and grandchildren, it is strange that others do not come to work hard.

"Is that true?" Liu Heng's eyes lit up.

"The grassland is high in autumn and the horses are fat, which is their strongest combat power, and if they don't send troops at this time, they won't be able to last next year." Pang Qing glanced at the bald tree function.

This person has studied in Qingying for two years, but he is very low-key, never showing mountain dew, and other Xianbei Xiongnu Qianghu have changed their Chinese names, but he has always used this strange name.

Someone once secretly called him, as long as he changed his Han name, then his future would be limitless.

But the bald tree function can be deduced that he doesn't dare to abolish the ancestral surname, so he can't do it, and he has always done his own thing, only with his cousin Bald Hair Pills, and a few bald generals.

The bald tree function and the bald hair pill have been studied in the Qingying, especially the art of war, to the point of obsession, often day and night, sleepless, but when it comes to the exam, both of them are inferior, the handwriting is ugly, the strategy is inferior, and they once became a laughing stock in the Qingying.

However, after Pang Qing saw the bald tree function and the bald hair pill, he didn't think so.

Both were visionaries and were the best of the bald.

It seems to be deliberately hidden, and the motive behind it makes Pang Qing very interested.

"Great goodness!" Liu Heng grinned, "Last time we let them run away, we got lost on the grassland, this time we must cut down the grass and eradicate the roots!" ”

Mobei has begun to turn cold, and I don't feel it during the day, but at night the cold wind is biting.

On the second day, the scouts returned.

"General Yu, Xianbei, Creeping, and Bada have gathered more than 30,000 people in the north of Longle Water and the south of Junji Mountain!" Scout reports.

"Only 30,000 people?" Liu Heng looked disappointed.

Pang Qing said: "You mean the north of Longle Water and the south of Junji Mountain?" ”

The Qin army appeared in Guyan Mountain, but the enemy army was assembled in the flank and rear.

Guyan Mountain is in the middle of the grassland, which was once the residence of the Xiongnu royal court, and is connected with the Wolf Juxu Mountain.

The grassland is not only grass, but also mountains, lakes, and rivers.

"This is the place." The scout confirms again.

"I see." Pang Qing's gaze swept over everyone.

Jiang Faye said with concern: "What's wrong here? ”

The bald tree function flashed in its eyes, and then hid it again.

However, his expression had already been captured by Pang Qing, "Bald general, is there anything wrong?" ”

The eyes of the people turned to him again.

Peng Hu also seemed to have a hint of strangeness, staring at the bald tree function with a smile.

The bald tree function shook his head, "Xianbei, Creeping, and Bada are all uncivilized barbarians, and the last general thinks that it is not enough to worry, and the two generals have already had a strategy to defend against the enemy, and they really don't see anything wrong with the stupidity of the last general." ”

"Gee, what are you two playing dumb puzzles? A certain commander of 20,000 iron horsemen, still afraid of his 30,000 rabble? Liu Heng has long been impatient.

Pang Qing took a deep look at the bald tree function, "The north of Longle Water is the south of Junji Mountain in the west, and this place happens to be the main force of the Xiongnu where the Han general Li Ling encountered, and fought and retreated, and finally was defeated. ”

"So what?" Liu Heng's eyes widened.

In terms of troops, the enemy does not pose a threat at all, and even if there is an ambush, it is not the opponent of these 20,000 iron cavalry.

Liu Heng has always been confident.

"Don't you think it's weird? Junji Mountain is about 800 miles away from Juyan, why did the enemy gather here? Why not Yanran Mountain and Jinshan farther away? Pang Qing asked rhetorically.

Eight hundred miles seems to be a long way, but for a light horse, it is only a few days.

Liu Heng was reluctant to use his brain, and he couldn't answer.

Jiang Faye said: "Could it be that the enemy army wants to invade Liangzhou from Juyan and plunder my horse farm?" ”

Pang Qing said: "If we burn their grassland, they will burn our horse farm." ”

"What a big bold! So what are you waiting for? I'm going to kill this group of killers now! Liu Heng was furious.

It took a lot of energy to build the Liangzhou grassland for several years, but if it is burned down now, Liu Heng can't bear this price, and Pang Qing can't afford it.

The army immediately marched westward.

Liu Heng wanted to go the extra mile, but was dissuaded by Pang Qing.

"The enemy army waits for work, and our army is tired and must not be reckless."

As they grow older, the two are like two extremes, Liu Heng is muscular and strong, and Pang Qing is familiar with Yang Zheng, more like a strategist.

The army did not arrive, but the scouts shuttled back and forth.

However, less and less news was brought back.

The Mobei tribes sent a large number of rangers to hunt down and kill the scouts and block the scouts' sentinel routes.

"There are also capable men in the enemy's army." Pang Qing reminded.

Wolves are born to hunt, and goshawks are born to fly.

The grassland tribes killed and killed, and naturally learned to fight.

Some Xianbei tribes even appeared in iron armor.

After absorbing a large number of Han people, the Tuoba Xianbei Department with Daijun as the core has also sent out iron horses in recent years.

The army marched to Dongjunji Mountain.

Liu Heng, Pang Qing, and Peng Hu took hundreds of cavalry to observe the enemy army in person, leaving Jiang Faye to guard the camp.

At the foot of the West Junji Mountain, I saw that the camp tents were stacked on top of each other, and the cattle and sheep were all over the mountains, grazing grass leisurely, as if there was no defense, just coming here to be nomadic.

Some of the vigilant rangers were also lazy.

Liu Heng was overjoyed, "The enemy is so sparse, it is time to drive the troops forward!" ”

Pang Qing wondered in his heart, since he sent rangers to intercept and kill scouts, why would he be so careless?

"There are only more than 100,000 cattle and sheep under the mountain, 20,000 or 30,000 horses, the enemy army is really here, even if there is fraud, if you can plunder its sheep and horses, the enemy army will be defeated without a fight, and it will be October in a few days, the harsh winter is coming, the wind and snow will fall sharply, which is not conducive to the battle!" Peng Hudao.

Liu Heng shouted: "You have read too many books, but the people are rusty, the two armies are fighting, relying on strength, what can the Mobei tribes do, even if there are 100,000 people?" Besides, can they come up with 100,000 troops? ”

Before the war, he had collected intelligence from merchants and scouts, and Mobei Xianbei plus Worm and Bada had a total of only 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers.

With the current combat strength of the Qin army, the two of them are completely worthy in the face of sixty or seventy thousand grassland coalition troops.

Of course, there are more than these people in the grassland, but the east is the world of Tuoba Xianbei, and the Tuoba Department is fighting in Yanmen, and they can't take their hands to take care of the affairs in the west.

There are Jiankun and Ding Ling in the north, but they never care about the affairs of the south, and they don't have the strength to manage it.

Moxi Xianbei was severely taught a lesson by Ma Xun's Western Expeditionary Army a few months ago.

After all, Liu Heng was the nominal commander-in-chief, and when he said so, other generals asked for battle.

gradually drowned out Pang Qing's voice.
