The soldiers and horses marched in the field, and many affairs were extremely complicated.

When you set up camp, it's not as simple as setting up a village.

First of all, the timber had to be cut down as raw material for the camp, and then a lot of time was spent building the village.

Later, it is necessary to arrange garrison facilities such as horses, flags, thistles, and traps around the stockade.

In addition, the equipment of the army needs to be maintained, usually by the sergeants themselves, if it cannot be solved, it is necessary to find the craftsmen of the army to repair it.

The grain and grass brought should be properly guarded, and it must not be caught by moisture and fire, and it should be separated to avoid being burned out when the camp is attacked.

Consumables such as medicinal herbs should be stored exclusively and must be made by professional people.

The livestock had to be fed with water and fed, and they had to be taken care of by the veterinarian of the army, so they could never get sick.

In addition, there are many complicated matters to arrange, deal with, and solve.

As a commander-in-chief, you don't just know how to fight and finish the job.

These seemingly ordinary little things, if they are not handled properly, I don't know when they will thunder out of the big basket.

Li Yunze is familiar with these things, and after dinner, he took Wei Qing through the process little by little, and told him sentence by sentence.

"When you pull out the camp, take with you everything you can. If you can't take it away, the stockade can be left behind when the rear is stable. ”

Looking at the lush woods on Luliang Mountain, Li Yunze sighed lightly, "If it doesn't work, then it can only be destroyed." ”

The impact of war on nature is enormous.

Normally, after months of tug-of-war, the local ecology will be directly devastated.

Large swathes of forest were cut down not just to build camps, but to be burned for fuel.

Animals are hunted and eaten, herbs are treated as forage, water sources are polluted, local people are harassed, and so on.

Wei Qing tried his best to memorize every word Li Yunze said, and he also went to do everything in person.

When he returned to the camp after dinner, he would light an oil lamp and write down what Li Yunze said and what he had personally experienced.

Because of his previous exploits in the Tingwei Prison, Wei Qing was promoted from a cavalry pawn to a chief, and came to Li Yunze's side to serve as a personal guard.

But no matter how long it is, it is impossible to have his own separate tent and the right to light oil lamps at night, which is purely out of Li Yunze's care.

It's really caring.

After all, there are no eyes on the battlefield, and it doesn't matter what kind of historical celebrity you are.

A rain of arrows came over, and when a bunch of spears stabbed at him, he couldn't dodge.

When the enemy cavalry rushed over, the war horse directly hit the body, not to mention wearing steel armor, even if it was wearing diamond armor, it was useless, and the huge impact force was enough to shock people to death.

Countless people died in despair on the battlefield, Li Yunze didn't believe that Wei Qing would have the aura to protect him, and he would be safe and sound in the battle of ten thousand armies as a low-level sergeant.

So it's the safest place to be when you bring it to your side.

If that's not care, then there's no care.

The soldiers and horses went north, and they were quite stable along the way.

The Huns did take the Han army by surprise this time, but as time went by, the Han troops in various parts of the north gradually came to their senses, and the local soldiers, mainly the county soldiers, fought a bloody battle with the Huns who entered the hometown with the support of the Tutuan villagers, and successfully blocked it

blocked the range of movement of the Huns.

At this time, the main force of the royal court of the military minister Shan Yu was confined to the vicinity of Taiyuan County, relying on a less stable road to connect with Dingxiangyunzhong in the north.

The military minister is not stupid, and naturally knows the danger he faces in the future.

He left large groups of men and horses in Dingxiang and Yunzhong, especially near the key county of Mayi, and stationed a full six or seven thousand horsemen of the Qiulin tribe to garrison them.

When King Wuling of Zhao opened up the northwest, it was called Shuo County.

After Meng Tian defeated the Xiongnu, he built an earthen city here to raise horses, so it was named Mayi.

Hundreds of years later, it was called Shuozhou.

And Shuozhou also has a name, called Datong.

The big head of the Chulin tribe has been living a very nourishing life recently.

Mayi was a fertile place, and many caravans that traded with the Xiongnu gathered and traded here.

When the Huns suddenly broke through the pass and came here, a large number of materials were seized and became the trophies of the Huns.

Although the big head was taken away by Da Shan Yu, the hill tribes stationed here can also gather a lot of good things by beating grass valleys around.

In the past, silk, tea, all kinds of works of art and other materials were sought-after goods on the grassland, and the tents of the big families were filled.

When he thought that this good day would continue, a sentinel came to report that a large Han army had appeared near Mayi County.

"If there is a Han army, just drive it away."

The big pawn with the golden cup in his hand, lying on the bed covered with silk, ordered leisurely: "Such a trivial matter will also bother me?" ”

Although the Han army in Dingxiang in the clouds was disabled, they were not the only ones in the Great Wall army of the Han Dynasty.

There were still many Han troops entrenched in the walled cities, not to mention the reinforcements sent by nearby counties.

It's just because of the lack of commanders, after all, most of the commanders followed Li Yunze to Chang'an City, and after Cheng Buzhi left, the imperial court never sent a new county guard.

The attack of a small force did not pose much of a threat to the Chulin tribe.

"Big Boss!"

The sentinel shouted eagerly, "This time is different!" There are a lot of Han Chinese who come, and they are all wearing iron armor! ”

"How is that possible?"

The impatient big pawn finally put down the golden cup and stood up, "The Han people are richer, but where will there be soldiers and horses full of iron armor, you should be iron armor is cattle and sheep dung on the grassland, is there it everywhere?" ”

When Dadanghu got on his horse and left the camp and came outside, he saw a torrent of shining metal, which was surging towards him.

"How is that possible?!"

The Qiulin tribe, like other Xiongnu tribes, all the belongings, the old and weak, women and children were all concentrated in the old camp.

When Li Yunze's soldiers and horses suddenly rushed out of Luliang Mountain and appeared only dozens of miles away from the old camp of the Qiulin tribe, the outcome of this battle was already doomed.

The Qiulin tribe can't run, and if they do, the old camp will have to fall into the hands of the Han army, and their parents, wives and children can all have their property here.

And the result of facing the battle head-on, naturally, was unable to break through the ironclad formation of the Han army, and was dragged by the armor soldiers of the Han army.

"This is the greatest weakness of the Huns."

Li Yunze, who was on horseback, instructed Wei Qing beside him, "They can't abandon the old camp royal court, and the old camp royal court is where their weakness lies." When you get to the prairie, as long as you stare at the old camp Wang Ting, you don't have to worry about the Huns not appearing. ”

Wei Qing saluted respectfully, "Thank you for your teachings." ”

"Go ahead."

Stretching out the whip in his hand, he pointed to the battlefield several miles ahead, "Cavalry strike, end this battle." ”

Thousands of Zhongshan National Iron Cavalry, including Li Yunze's personal guards, and thousands of elite cavalry selected from the Northern Army, launched an impact amid the sound of drums and horns.

The Huns, who were mainly light cavalry, put up a desperate resistance.

As for the result, it was natural that the resistance was destroyed like spring and snow, and then the old camp also fell into the hands of the Han army.

Simply repaired, and contacted the nearby Han army to come and recover all parts of Mayi, and take care of the captured materials.

Li Yunze quickly led the men and horses to the south and went straight to Xiurong County.

Xiurong County, in later generations called Xinzhou.

In the south of Xiurong County, bordering Taiyuan County, there is a narrow pass that is close to Xiaowutai Mountain in the east and Guanmao Mountain in the west, which is called Shiling Pass.

The mountains here are steep and precipitous, and the passes are majestic.

It is the traffic point of Taiyuan leading to Dai, Yun, Ning, Shuo and other places, and is known as the gateway throat of Taiyuan Xinding.

The final destination of Li Yunze's detour was this narrow pass.

Taking this place is to directly cut off the only passage for the Xiongnu Wangting to escape north in the hinterland of Taiyuan County.

Hearing the news that Ma Yi was lost and the Han army soldiers arrived at Shiling Pass, Shan Yu, a military minister who had been fine for a while and felt that everything was under control, stood up directly from the couch in shock.

He knew too well the importance of this place, it was the only way to go north back to the prairie!

"Huyan and Lin."

The military minister Shan Yu immediately summoned the left bone marquis of his royal court: "You immediately lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to Shiling Pass, and you must guard this pass!" ”

Hu Yan and Lin didn't talk nonsense, and immediately took the order.

"Summoning the order to Yu Shan, stop attacking Jinyang, and gather the soldiers and horses back."

Yu Dan, who got the news, rode his horse and galloped to the royal court, looking for his father, "Great, seeing that you can take Jinyang in a few days, why don't you fight?" ”

The gloomy face of the military minister shook his head, "There is a Han army that does not know where it came from, first hit Mayi and then collect Xiurong, and now the army is coming to Shiling Pass." ”

"Hiss~~~"

Yu Dan, who was still a little dissatisfied, immediately changed his complexion.

He came from this road, so he naturally knew how important Shiling Pass was.

It can be said that tens of thousands of troops can't be defeated if thousands of troops are arranged!

"What are the Qiu Lin Division, the Lang Division, and the Lan Department all doing?" Yu Shan vented his anger, "There are so many people, why can't you keep it?" ”

"It's useless to talk about it now."

Shan Yu, a military minister with a black face, immediately instructed Yu Shan to "quickly gather back the men and horses besieging Jinyang City, as well as the men and horses entangled with the main force of the Han army in the south." Each department will be pulled out in turn, and return to the north! ”

Yu Dan, who was unwilling, asked, "Just left?" ”

"What if you don't leave?!"

The military minister Shan Yu was also angry: "If the back road is cut off, we will be trapped in this square inch of Taiyuan County." Hundreds of thousands of Han troops around are constantly squeezing over, and the cavalry can't be used, and if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave! ”

Yu Dan had never seen Da Da vent such a big temper to himself, he was so excited that he hurriedly went out to arrange the withdrawal of the army.

"Greedy, too greedy."

Shan Yu, the military minister in the king's tent, was full of regret at this time, "I shouldn't have gone deep into this place, this is simply a desperate situation!" How could I be so stupid. ”

Shan Yu, a military minister who was as anxious as a fire, stepped outside the king's tent, looked to the north and muttered, "You must keep it." ”
