Chapter 264

In autumn and winter, the evenings on the prairie are extremely cold, and almost no one can spend the prairie nights without any facilities.

You don't have to think about the romantic life of sitting on the grassland and watching the stars, because in addition to the bitter cold, there are also steppe wolves.

The Xiongnu army could camp for the cold night, but the wolf light cavalry could never camp for concealment.

Therefore, the Wolf Rider would find a higher and drier place to dig a hole, and then the men and horses would be wrapped in a duvet on their backs, so that they could survive the cold night.

The duvet was still made by Qin Xi when he sent them to the bitter at the beginning, and it can be said that it was a precedent for using poultry feathers to keep warm. After that, it was widely adopted in the army, because it was both warm and light.

The first time Qin Xi slept like this, he was very unaccustomed to it, and he didn't fall asleep almost all night, and Zhao Yi even took this opportunity to dare Qin Xi to go back.

However, on the second night, Qin Xi got used to it, as if it was easy to get used to the matter of hardship.

Today I just played the Hun army, and now the whole army is very happy, especially the 5,000 men and horses from Xianyang, who are still unsatisfied after experiencing this happiness.

In the afterglow of morning and evening, a group of soldiers are digging holes, preparing for a place to sleep tonight.

Qin Xi and Zhao Yi sat in front of a pit, with a map of the grassland pressed with stones in front of them.

Qin Xi looked at this map a little dizzy, there were no contour lines and coordinates, it was equivalent to drawing a few lines and writing a few words on a piece of cloth, which was really ugly.

So basically, Zhao Yi pointed to the map and said it again, and then Qin Xi was modifying it, and then the two discussed and discussed, and finally came to the result.

At present, the two of them agreed to continue to raid the Xiongnu army and slow down their march, but there were disagreements on how to do it.

Zhao Yi advocated that a large army be dispatched as it is today to wake up and harass the Xiongnu army, but Qin Xi was resolutely opposed.

Qin Xi said: "This method can no longer be used, it has no effect, and there may be an accident." ”

"How so? Isn't it good today? Zhao Yi said.

Qin Xi's hand never stopped, and the grass beside him was all dried up by him. Qin Xi said: "Today we are victorious in surprise, the other party is defenseless, but today only the other party will definitely be on guard." ”

"The enemy's army of hundreds of thousands, casually send one or twenty thousand cavalry to keep an eye on us, once we appear, we will be involved, and we will not be affected by the other party's march at all."

"Also, if the enemy's generals are strong enough to keep these 20,000 troops sticking to us, I'm afraid we will have to go back except to fight them head-on."

"So I resolutely can't carry out a surprise attack like today, do as I say, I will go to the front of the Hun army alone to attract their attention, and you will lead your brothers to attack the rear army of the Hun army."

Zhao Yi thought for a while and said, "Let me go and attract the attention of the enemy army, my lord, you take your brothers to attack the rear army of the enemy army." ”

Qin Xi looked at Zhao Yi and smiled: "Does your horse run as fast as my horse?" ”

"Then please lend me the horse." Zhao Yi arched his hand and said.

"Get out!" Qin Xi said: "That's the horse that my junior sister gave me, and it is impossible to lend it to you." ”

"Then I don't care, even if my horse is not as fast as the adult's horse, but I will do the thing that attracts the attention of the Huns." Zhao Yi said firmly.

"Fuck off! Lao Tzu is here to earn military merits, don't shoot with Lao Tzu, you kid! Qin Xi interrupted Zhao Yi, who wanted to speak, and said, "If you instigate it again, I will knock you out and ask someone to send you back." ”

"My lord, you are unreasonable!" Zhao Yi felt disgusted.

Qin Xi stood up and said arrogantly: "Reasonable? I'm an Overseer, I'm stronger than you, so why should I reason with you? ”：

Zhao Yi was speechless for a moment, and could only say indignantly: "When I go back, I will report this matter to the general as it is!" ”

"Whatever you want." Qin Xi said with an indifferent look.

The sky slowly darkened, and after the pit was dug, the next step was to guard against wolves.

Stick the arrow in the ground and hang the bell, which is very windy at night in the steppe, and the bell can be blown straight out, and the wolf is very afraid of this sound.

Some people will say that the bell will reveal its location, but in fact, it is too much to consider.

First of all, the location chosen by the wolf light cavalry is remote, and there are people guarding within five miles. And the sound of this bell, in the open grassland, can pass a distance of three or four miles at most.

Although the wolf light horse is a double horse, most of the time, the other horse is carrying supplies, in addition to long-distance running, in fact, one horse is enough.

And the Huns learned to run wolf and ride lightly to engage in one man and three horses, which is really a waste, because they do not carry out long-distance running.

······

In Xianyang City, the First Emperor had already learned the news that Qin Xi had gone on an expedition with the wolf light horse, and there was also a confession from Wang Ben.

At this time, Fusu happened to be in the palace to assist the First Emperor in reviewing the chapters.

The First Emperor directly showed Wang Ben's letter to Fusu, and after reading it, Fusu said: "This is too bold, and what is Wang Ben doing, he didn't look at him!" ”

The First Emperor said lightly: "The Running Wolf Light Horse was created by him, and it is most suitable for him to lead it, but I don't know what kind of surprise he can give me." ”

Fusu was shocked, his father trusted Qin Xi too much! He arched his hand and said: "Father, I'm afraid this is too risky, the Hun army entered 300,000 this time, and it is still too risky to have only 6,000 wolf light horses." ”

The First Emperor's fingers kept tapping on the table, like a hammer hitting Fusu's heart.

Emperor Shi smiled: "If he really led the 300,000 troops of the 6,000 wolves and light horsemen to face the Xiongnu, then I would be regarded as a son who is not so stupid." ”

Fusu lowered his head and didn't dare to say any more, he had already said enough just now, and if he said too much, he would lose, after all, when he arrived at the northern border, he had never fought a battle, and compared to Qin Xi, it was too much worse.

"Kill the sword." The First Emperor shouted faintly.

"The minister is here." A man wearing a black hat suddenly appeared next to Fusu, and Fusu jumped in fright.

The First Emperor asked, "How are you recovering from your injuries?" ”

"Your Majesty Xie is concerned, and his injuries have fully recovered." The deep voice of the killing sword seemed to have crawled out of the abyss.

"Let's go to the grassland, the sand tribe has moved, let's meet your old friend." The First Emperor said.

"No!"

The First Emperor continued: "Come home and have a look, don't rush back. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The next moment, the person disappeared.

"Father, the killing tribe, is it the legendary tribe in the grassland?" Fusu asked.

The First Emperor smiled contemptuously and said, "What kind of bullshit legendary tribe, it was killed by a person and hid in the extreme north for several years before it dared to come out. ”
