Chapter 258

As it turned out, the Huns probably did not really intend to negotiate peace, and judging from the news that the scouts kept coming back, the Huns were gathering a large army.

Of course, this may also be the Huns' backhand after the failure of the peace talks, or Xiang forced the Great Qin to lower their requirements when they were forced to negotiate peace.

But if you don't dare to do anything, this battle is probably inevitable.

Daqin was harassed by the Huns for so long, and Hanoi was invaded and occupied for nearly a hundred years. Now that Great Qin is extremely strong, and has gained the upper hand in several wars with the Xiongnu, Great Qin will most likely not accept peace talks.

However, Wang Ben also knew that after the Great Wall was stopped, it would be very difficult to stop the Hun cavalry, and the price to pay would be very large.

But as a general, Wang Ben had no way to retreat, and could only try his best to hold the border of Great Qin.

Wang Ben made detailed arrangements to deal with the attack of the Huns at any time, and the generals of the various armies also knew what kind of attack they might encounter next, and they all cheered up the spirit of twelve.

Wang Ben sent someone to send Haji to Xianyang, and Haji was obviously a little flustered when facing Wang Benzhi's questioning, but in the end he didn't say anything and went to Xianyang silently.

In the days that followed, Wang Ben and his generals engaged in fierce debates over whether to take the initiative or strengthen their defenses.

The generals of the Shaozhuang faction, led by Zhao Yi, the leader of the wolf light cavalry, advocated taking the initiative to attack, going deep into the grassland to find the main force of the Xiongnu, and harassing it, so that the Xiongnu army had no intention of going south.

Wang Ben and other veteran generals advocated strengthening the defense, because now the wolf light cavalry could no longer inflict a devastating blow on those Xiongnu tribes, and there was a huge danger in taking the initiative to attack.

Just when everyone was arguing, Qin Xi arrived with his people.

Wang Ben was very surprised when he saw Qin Xi, because Xianyang didn't tell him that it was Qin Xi who came to support.

Wang Ben asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Qin Xi smiled: "Can't I come?" ”

Qin Xi took out the edict and shook it, and said, "I am the overseer personally appointed by His Majesty. ”

"See Lord Overseer!" A group of generals bowed to Qin Xi.

"You're welcome, everyone." Qin Xi said with a smile: "I brought 5,000 soldiers and 10,000 war horses this time. ”

Wang Ben said: "Great! Now that our army is short of cavalry, I can't wait to dismantle the Running Wolf Light Cavalry and form more cavalry. ”

Zhao Yi suddenly became anxious and said, "General, we said okay, you can't do anything to my running wolf." ”

"Don't move! Look at your unproductive appearance! Wang Ben said angrily.

Wang Ben patted Qin Xi's shoulder and said, "With your batch of war horses, I can form another 5,000 cavalry!" ”

Qin Xi knocked Wang Ben's hand away and said, "Then you have a wrong idea, this time you can't move my five thousand cavalry, and I will ask you to run wolf light cavalry." ”

"What!" Wang Ben's face immediately changed, and he crossed his waist and glared at Qin Xi and said, "You have the ability to say it again!" ”

Qin Xi ignored Wang Ben, bypassed Wang Ben and said to Zhao Yi: "You are Zhao Yi, right, I heard Lord Taiwei mention you, come and tell me about the current movements of the Huns." ”

Zhao Yi looked at Wang Ben, and when he saw Wang Ben waving his hand impatiently, he pointed to the map and told Qin Xi about the current movements of the Huns.

Zhao Yi said: "According to the situation detected by the scouts, the Huns are gathering troops, which is different from the previous gathering while walking. This time, it is likely that the Huns will no longer disperse their forces to break through our Daqin's defense line at multiple points as before, but will gather large forces and break through from one point. ”

Wang Ben said: "Judging from the current results, the best place for the Huns to attack is ours, we are here is difficult to defend and easy to attack, as long as they break through our here, their cavalry can go all the way south, and there is nothing to stop them." ”

Qin Xi said to Wang Ben: "I plan to expand the wolf light horse, you help me pick some people out, five hundred people will do, and then I will also have five hundred good war horses." ”

"You're going to lie to me as soon as you come!" Wang Ben was shocked, he hadn't reached out yet, Qin Xi, this kid, had made the first move.

"It's not going to kill you." After Qin Xi and Wang Ben finished speaking, they turned their heads to Zhao Yi and said: "The wolf riding is one person and three horses, appearing at the beginning, one person and two horses, and the extra five hundred war horses are used to expand the wolf riding horse." ”

Zhao Yi was also taken aback, and hurriedly asked: "My lord, will it affect the combat power of the wolf light cavalry after becoming one person and two horses?" ”

Qin Xi patted Zhao Yi on the shoulder and said, "If it affects me, I will have to replace all of you." ”

Zhao Yi's face suddenly turned pale, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to speak. In fact, he himself knows that there is not much difference between one person and two rides and one person and three rides, but this person is used to being rich and afraid of being poor.

And how did Zhao Yi know that the wolf light ride was proposed by Qin Xi, how could Qin Xi not know this.

Wang Ben pulled Qin Xi and asked, "What do you kid want to do?" ”

Qin Xi said: "Take the initiative to attack, while the Hun army has not yet been integrated, strike first." ”

Hearing Qin Xi's words, the generals of the Shaozhuang faction were excited, and they couldn't wait to do it immediately.

And the old generals looked at Wang Ben one after another and let Wang Ben say.

Wang Ben said: "No, this is too risky, and the Xiongnu have already sent envoys to negotiate peace, the Xiongnu army is not necessarily going south, we had better wait." ”

Qin Xi shook his head and smiled: "Do you yourself believe that the Huns will really negotiate peace?" ”

Wang Ben's face stiffened, and he said, "Naturally, I don't believe it." ”

"That's not it, since peace talks are impossible, it's better to take the initiative." Qin Xi said.

"No way!" Wang Ben said: "Now the Xiongnu army is at least 120,000, even if you have 6,000 wolf light horses, it is too risky to face the 120,000 army." ”

Qin Xi said: "I also heard your plan just now, and I want to hold on and wait for the cold winter to come, and the Huns will take the initiative to retreat." All I can say is that this is the last policy, because we will pay a very heavy price, and we will not be able to stop the Huns. ”

"I still know about this person, he is far more ruthless than Touman, and now the Huns are indeed in the stage of resource envy and scarcity, and they will go south at all costs, so it is difficult for us to hold it."

"That's why I plan to take the initiative to attack, six thousand wolf light horses, enough to deal a big blow to the Hun army, even if it can't stop the footsteps of the Hun army, it can delay their time to go south and drag them into the winter attack."

"And everyone, not to belittle the old generals, which general has fought a real steppe war? The war of the steppe cannot be compared with the war of the Great Legion. On the prairie, as long as your horse is fast enough! You'll win! And our hand-picked horses are fast enough! ”

Wang Ben interrupted Qin Xi's words with a cold face, and said, "Okay, okay, let's stop here today, let's all go back and rest, and I'll have a good talk with Qin Xi's overseer." ”

"No!"

Wang Ben spoke, and all the generals retreated in unison, after all, Wang Ben still had the final say.
