Chapter 436: The ancestral system of the Huns, sending troops in the middle of the night
Two quarters of an hour later.
The smoke is extinguished.
After a short rest, more than 5,000 soldiers of the Yan Army turned over and mounted their horses again.
Immediately followed the generals and flags of the various ministries and embarked on the march again.
It's just compared to the speed of the previous march.
At this time, the overall marching speed of the Yan army was undoubtedly more than half slower.
Besides.
The Yan army scouts who ran five miles away from the Yan army's front army.
Compared with the previous march, it is also more than half.
But the good thing is.
There were no waves in the last 20 miles.
Unconsciously.
It's almost time to apply.
More than 5,000 soldiers of the Yan Army finally arrived at the established camp at the appointed time.
More than 200 of the most elite scouts of the Yan army.
At this time, he quietly returned from the periphery of the Kunzanbu ranch.
Meanwhile.
Twenty-five miles away from the Kunzan Tribe, beside the dry river.
Xin Sixuan and Xu Yi quickly walked along the dry river under the escort of more than 200 Chinese army guards.
In the end, a place that can barely be called a secret and easy to defend is difficult to attack as a place to camp tonight.
"Wang Jingbo."
Xin Sixuan watched carefully for a moment, and after making sure that this place was already the best choice, he immediately spoke.
"The end will be!"
Since the camp was exclaimed, the herald Wang Jingbo, who had always followed the main general, heard the words and immediately drove forward.
"Order the generals of all the departments to immediately lead their troops to camp here."
"Old rules."
"There are three ditches in front of the wall, three ditches in the back of the wall."
"The front trench and the back trench are four zhang wide and one zhang deep."
"The middle trench is eight feet deep and one foot wide."
"The bottom of the trench is full of short guns."
"Before the sun goes down, Ben will personally lead people to patrol it."
Xin Sixuan's face was slightly serious and he ordered in a deep voice.
"Obey!"
When Wang Jingbo heard this, he immediately clenched his fists and took his life.
He then drove his horse to the heralds who followed him.
Dozens of breaths later.
Several heralds hoisted the assembly flag of the Chinese army and quickly rode away.
......
......
Time flies by imperceptibly.
The scorching sun, which was originally high above the clouds, was only a blood-red remnant in the blink of an eye.
Twenty-five miles away from the Kunzan Department, in the temporary camp of the Yan army.
Xu Yi, Xin Sixuan and his entourage finished inspecting the camp and fortification.
Just as he was about to return to the Chinese army's tent.
Suddenly, several guards quickly came looking for them.
"Captain Xin, Chief Kang Bo and Uncle Cao are back."
The head of the guards walked quickly to Xin Sixuan and Xu Yi two steps away, and then leaned over to Xin Sixuan and Xu Yi to report.
As for the Kang Bochang and Cao Bochang in his mouth, they are the two most outstanding uncles in the Yan Army's first camp scout.
This time it was this second uncle who went deep into the periphery of the Kunzan ranch to investigate.
And in the entire Xiandeng Camp scout song, only these two people have to be matched with a clairvoyant mirror.
"Okay."
Xin Sixuan nodded when he heard this, and then drove his horse forward again.
Not much.
Xu Yi, Xin Sixuan and his entourage walked to the front of the Chinese army's tent again.
"My subordinates meet Captain Xin."
Xu Yi, Xin Sixuan and his entourage went to the front of the Chinese army's big tent.
Kang Shouxi and Cao Zezhi, who had been waiting in front of the Chinese army's big tent for a long time, immediately stepped forward to salute.
"Say more in the tent."
Xin Sixuan turned over and dismounted, and then nodded slightly.
"Yes!"
Kang Shouxi and Cao Zezhi immediately hugged their fists again when they heard this.
speech
The sound fell.
After Xin Sixuan, Xu Yi and his entourage walked into the Chinese army's big tent.
Kang Shouxi and Cao Zezhi waited for more than ten breaths, after ensuring that no one entered the Chinese army's tent again.
Only then did he step towards the big tent of the Chinese army.
"Where is the Kunzan camp located on the ranch now?"
Kang Shouxi and Cao Zezhi went to the Chinese army's big tent.
Xin Sixuan, who was sitting on the chair of the first master, couldn't help but ask.
"Back to Captain."
"Most of the Kunzan camp is concentrated in the middle of the ranch."
"It's about thirty-five miles from where our army is now."
"According to the observation of my subordinates, the number of soldiers and horses in the middle of the ranch is about 8,000."
"The other part of the tents is scattered in the four corners of the pasture."
"According to the observation of his subordinates, the number of soldiers and horses in this part is about 2,000."
Kang Shouxi and Cao Zezhi glanced at each other, and then took half a step forward to report truthfully.
And the reason why it was able to count the approximate number of troops and horses of the Kunzan Department so accurately.
Naturally, its own skills account for part of the credit.
But more credit should be given to the first three generations of the Xiongnu.
The Xiongnu lived by water and grass, and their whereabouts have always been erratic.
Long before the Xiongnu first unified the steppe.
The Xiongnu tribes often fought over pastures, and sometimes even fought with each other.
The first Xiongnu were in the early days of the unified steppe.
There was even a tragedy in which more than a dozen tribes fought for a piece of pasture, and finally more than a dozen Xiongnu tribes were killed or injured by more than 20,000 people.
The number of such casualties is certain in terms of a certain extent.
It was no less than a major battle with the Central Plains Dynasty.
That's why.
Since the incident erupted.
For the rest of his reigning career, the first Xiongnu emperor Shan has been committed to dividing territories and pastures for the major Xiongnu tribes.
After more than ten years of hard work.
The six kings of the Xiongnu and the twenty-four long territories and pastures are probably clear.
The first generation of Shan Yu died.
The Xiongnu magnates wanted to tear up the covenant of territory and pasture.
That's why.
The second generation of Xiongnu Shan Yu who took over the position of Shan Yu.
In the first half of his reign, most of the time except for fighting with the Central Plains Dynasty was basically spent balancing the territorial disputes of the Xiongnu tribes.
During this period, there was even a battle between the four kings and generals of the Xiongnu.
And the cause of the incident was that a large tribe under the command of the left general wanted to seize the pasture of a medium-sized tribe under the command of the right general.
Directly send troops to kill all the warriors in the medium-sized tribe that belong to the right general.
The women, cattle, sheep, horses, pastures and other things in his tribe were all swallowed by the large tribe under the command of General Zuo.
Naturally, such a major event cannot be done without a trace.
After the incident, General Right directly led the army to surround the large tribes under the command of General Zuo, and was bound to seek justice for the exterminated tribes.
The right general wants to get justice for the exterminated tribe under his command.
How could General Zuo watch a large tribe under his command be wiped out?
If he is indifferent to this, what will the tribes under his command think of him afterwards? Where will General Zuo's prestige be?
After repeated negotiations to no avail.
The left general of the Huns immediately gathered his troops and horses and rushed to the front of the right general.
The battle between the two princes began.
Later, the generals of the Huns in the war asked for help from the kings of the Huns.
Ultimately.
A fierce battle between the four kings of the Xiongnu broke out completely.
If it weren't for the second generation of Shan Yu, he led the army to the battlefield in time and mediated in person.
No one knows what step the Huns will eventually take in the battle of the four kings and generals of the Huns.
The matter is over
After the bundle.
In the second half of his reigning career, the second generation of the Xiongnu directly gave up fighting with the Central Plains Dynasty.
In turn, he focused all his energy on the affairs of the ministries and pastures.
Afterward.
The territory of the Xiongnu tribes and pastures.
It has been more than 50 years.
Finally, the curtain came to an end in the late reign of the third generation of Xiongnu Shan Yu.
Since then.
The six kings of the Xiongnu, the twenty-four chiefs of the Xiongnu and the medium and large tribes of the Xiongnu.
If it weren't for the life and death of the tribe, they would never engage in war.
Those who use swords and soldiers without permission will be punished by all the Huns.
As for the small tribes.
In the eyes of the Xiongnu magnates, it was a blessing for the small tribe to be annexed.
There will be no interference.
That's why.
Every year, it is the time of abundance of water and grass.
The medium and large tribes of the Xiongnu would invariably divide the tribal herdsmen into two parts.
The old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, as well as women and children, drive their cattle and sheep to small and medium-sized pastures in the territory for grazing.
The young men drove the adult cattle and sheep to the largest pastures in the territory to graze.
When winter comes.
The whole tribe will gather together again to survive the winter.
And at this time of year, it is the time when the Xiongnu tribes count the adult livestock in the tribe and pay tribute.
When paying tribute, the Xiongnu nobles only counted the number of adult cattle and sheep, and determined the number of tributes.
It is precisely for this reason that in the eyes of the Huns, cattle and sheep cubs are not counted in the tribal property.
And the ranch located twenty-five miles away from the Yan Army.
It is one of the largest pastures in Kunzan.
At its peak, the Kunzan tribe used to graze nearly 150,000 cattle and sheep on the pastures here.
......
......
The Yan army is a temporary camp.
Inside the big tent of the Chinese army.
Kang Shouxi's words fell.
The huge Chinese army tent couldn't help but be silent for more than a hundred times.
After more than 100 breaths.
Xin Sixuan, who was sitting on the chair of the first master, looked at Kang Shouxi and Cao Zezhi again.
"Has the map ever been remade?"
Xin Sixuan calmed down for a moment, and then asked in a deep voice.
The map held by Yan Jun is not always static.
Whenever the Yan army scouts bring different news, the Yan army will always remake the map as soon as possible.
It was immediately distributed to every general of the Yan Army.
"Back to Captain."
"The map is finished."
Kang Shouxi and Cao Zezhi replied with their fists in unison when they heard this.
The words fell.
Kang Shouxi and Cao Zezhi quickly took out the map from their arms.
Then he handed it to the oncoming leader of the conscience.
Then the head of the conscience will present the case to the first table.
Xin Sixuan asked himself to take the two self-made maps in his hands.
Then spread it out on the table and quickly compare.
After seeing that there is not much difference between the two maps, and both are marked with the location of the Kunzan Minister's long tent and the distribution of the Kunzan Tribe's soldiers and horses.
Xin Sixuan took his eyes off the map, and then looked at Kang Shouxi and Cao Zezhi again.
"Good job."
"After this battle, the credit book must be a lot of credit for the two of you."
Xin Sixuan calmed down for a moment, and then opened his mouth to praise.
"Captain Shein praised."
"It is an honor for me to serve the prince."
Kang Shouxi and Cao Zezhi couldn't help but flash a thick joy on their faces when they heard this, and then hurriedly leaned over and saluted deeply.
"Let's go back to camp and rest."
"Tomorrow you will be busy."
Xin Sixuan said no
He nodded, then chuckled.
"Yes!"
Kang Shouxi and Cao Zezhi hugged their fists again when they heard this.
immediately silently withdrew from the Chinese army's tent.
After Kang Shouxi and Cao Zezhi completely left the Chinese army's tent.
Xin Sixuan then picked up the two maps, got up and left the Taishi chair, and then walked in front of Xu Yi.
"Lord Wang."
"Although the maps made by Kang Shouxi and Cao Zezhi are different from those currently used in the army."
"But overall, the difference isn't huge."
"Please also ask the prince to take a look."
Xin Sixuan leaned over and presented the map in his hand with both hands.
"Okay."
Xu Yi responded lightly, and then took the map from Xin Sixuan's hand and checked it carefully.
After half a stick of incense.
Xu Yi returned the map in his hand to Xin Sixuan again.
"Later, I will make a few more maps and distribute them to the generals."
Xu Yi calmed down for a moment, and then opened his mouth to command.
"Yes."
Hearing this, Xin Sixuan took the map with both hands, and then responded with his fists clenched.
The words fell.
Xu Yi stood up from the bottom left, and then walked to the map placed on the side of the big tent.
Then he lifted a slender ink ingot and slightly modified the original map.
After a stick of incense.
Xu Yi reviewed it again and again, and after making sure that the revisions were correct, he turned slightly sideways to make Xin Sixuan, the leader of the heart and others behind him face the map more intuitively.
"The current location of the Kunzan Department is different from what was noted on the previous map."
"But it's not too much."
"After the map is remade, this problem can be easily solved, and it will not cause trouble to our army."
Xu Yi stretched out his hand and clicked on the map that had been changed, and then said in a deep voice.
The words fell.
Xu Yi wrote a pen to mark the distribution of soldiers and horses and the number of soldiers and horses one by one in various places on the map.
"Although the actual number of soldiers and horses of the Kunzan Department is 2,000 more than our army's previous estimates."
"However, after repeated examination, I did not find any changes to our army's previous strategic plan."
"I wonder what Captain Xin thinks?"
After dozens of breaths, Xu Yi put down the slender ink ingot in his hand, and then turned to look at Xin Sixuan not far away.
This time, the Yan army used troops against the Kunzan Department, and the main commander and the person who formulated the overall strategy was still Xu Yi.
And Xin Sixuan was on the side as he had done the previous two times.
Whenever Xu Yi made a mistake in strategy or command, Xin Sixuan would always point it out at the first time.
And Xu Yi will also reflect and correct it at the first time.
However, after the two battles against Hungary, Xu Yi left little room for Xin Sixuan's guidance.
Sometimes Xu Yi's control of the subtle battle situation and the control of the general strategic direction has even slightly surpassed Xin Sixuan.
The Yan army's temporary camp is in the big tent of the Chinese army.
Xin Sixuan did not rush to answer when he heard this, but kept frowning and constantly deducing and weighing the entire strategic plan in his heart.
A moment later.
Xin Sixuan's tightly knit brows gradually relaxed.
"Go back to the prince."
"In the opinion of the last general."
"There is nothing that needs to be changed in our army's established strategy."
"You just need to do a good job in the psychological construction of the soldiers of each department."
Xin Sixuan calmed down for a moment, and then replied with his fists clenched.
"That's so."
"Then gather the generals."
Xu Yi nodded slightly, and then spoke.
"Obey!"
When Xin Sixuan heard this, he immediately clenched his fists and said.
Two quarters of an hour later.
The generals of the Yan army gathered again in the big tent of the Chinese army.
After Xin Sixuan revealed the situation of the scouts one by one.
The generals of the Yan army not only did not have the slightest
The color of fear, on the contrary, the fighting spirit is even higher one by one.
For a group of Yan army generals.
The current situation is nothing more than 2,000 more enemy troops than originally estimated.
More than 5,000 Yan soldiers are all in armor and have the advantage of ordnance.
An extra 2,000 enemy troops is nothing more than a little more effort.
Compared with the extra 2,000 combat exploits, what is the extra effort?
