"General, our cavalry has explored the rivers on both sides of the plain here, most of the Hu people here have fled north, and a small number of Rong tribes are willing to surrender to our army, Gongna cattle and sheep, just let them continue to graze here."

"Well, these Hu people still have knowledge of current affairs, and this matter is accurate, but let them move to both sides, don't get close to my Qin army within a hundred miles, and ensure that my back road is unhindered."

Zhao Tuo opened his mouth, and the plain enclosed by these two rivers was rich and fertile. In addition to the Xiongnu, there are many Rong tribes living here.

They are just like the previous Lou Fu, Lin Hu, and Bai Yang, with all kinds of strange names, and the number of tribes is small, and they are basically enslaved by the Xiongnu.

These Rong people would regularly pay cattle and sheep to the Xiongnu, and let the Xiongnu plunder them, because they were too weak, even if they were not convinced, they could only bow their heads and submit in the face of the powerful and brutal Xiongnu.

Now the Qin army has come here, expelled the Xiongnu, and occupied the fields enclosed by the great river.

This caused some Rong tribes to flee north in fear and continue to join the Xiongnu as slaves.

But there are also some tribes who are either quite bold and want to contact the Qin people, or they are reluctant to accept the lush pastures here and are willing to take refuge in the Qin army.

Being a dog to the Huns is a dog, and being a dog to the Qin people is also a dog, as long as you can continue to live, it is the same for everyone to take refuge.

For these Rong people who surrendered to sincerity, Zhao Tuo has always given a lenient attitude.

In his opinion, when the Qin army defeated the Xiongnu, these Rong people could set an example and recruit other tribes.

If you want to establish a solid rule outside the fortress, in addition to beating the wild wolves, you must also accept more loyal dogs to watch the door.

"Calculate the time, it should be about the same."

Zhao Tuo whispered, under his deliberate order, the speed of the Qin army's advance was not fast, and now it has been several days since the moonlit night to smuggle across the river and raid the right general, thinking that the Huns have already received the news and made corresponding measures.

The bait has been thrown.

I just don't know if the cunning steppe wolf king will get into this arranged trap.

Such worries were dispelled under the clairvoyant mirror in Zhao Tuo's hands when the Qin army arrived on the south bank of the Beihe River.

"Da Danyu, you still took the bait."

Zhao Tuo was riding on a horse, his waist was straight, one eye was closed, and the other eye was staring at the clairvoyant mirror in his hand.

Through the crystal-polished lenses, he could see the scene thousands of meters away on the other side of the North River.

The clairvoyant mirror in Zhao Tuo's hand, after a simple test calculation, is probably close to the ten-fold telescope of later generations.

This means that the object being viewed can be brought ten times closer.

Therefore, the figure that can only be seen with the naked eye in the distance is very clear in Zhao Tuo's clairvoyant mirror, and he can clearly see that it is a Hun cavalry wearing felt hats.

With the movement of the clairvoyant mirror, Zhao Tuo found several special characters among these Hun cavalry.

Because of the distance, I can't see people's faces clearly, but the clothes and dresses on my body are still easy to identify.

Zhao Tuo first located a woman's body, and the familiar figure and outfit made it easy for him to recognize this as Su Jiasha.

Then he saw the nearby Right General, who had a special ornament on his clothes so that it was easy to identify.

These two people are here, which means that Zhao Tuo's secret has not been leaked, and it also means that the plan is going smoothly.

Zhao Tuo noticed that in the center of those Xiongnu nobles, a tall man wearing a wolf's skin jacket was clustered, and he was looking at the situation near the Beihe River from afar.

There is no need to guess, Zhao Tuo knew that this person was the Huns' plough and his target.

"Next time, I have to let Shaofu study a clairvoyant mirror that is at least twenty times larger, and if you zoom in closer, you can see his appearance clearly."

Zhao Tuo muttered in his mouth, thinking a little greedily.

However, ten times the telescope is enough to be used in this steppe, and it can have a decisive advantage in the war.

The discovery of the Xiongnu Shan Yu's appearance means that his plan can be put on the agenda.

He called Xiao He and asked, "Xiao Changshi, is our army's boat division in place?" ”

Xiao He replied: "General, the boat division has stopped upstream, just wait for the general to give an order, and it can go down the river within half a day." ”

Zhao Tuo asked again: "Are the things I want ready?" ”

Xiao He said: "The boat division has been loaded with 100 Wugang cars, hundreds of crossbows, and 5,000 brave men have been selected in the Japanese army in the past few days, and weapons such as spears, hammers, and arrows have also been prepared, and General Wang Li has trained them." ”

Zhao Tuo bowed his head and said: "Very good, then let the scouts find a place to cross the river along the river bank, and be sure to let our army set up a formation on the north bank." ”

"Yui."

Xiao He took the order and went down to arrange.

Before leaving, he glanced at Zhao Tuo with some awe.

Xiao He is not good at military affairs, but Zhao Tuo's arrangement still makes him feel a little cold.

To be the general's enemy, that's miserable.

Zhao Tuo didn't notice Xiao He's gaze, but turned his head to look at the north bank of the river, and peeked at the movements of the Huns again.

"This is a good opportunity to destroy our army."

"Da Danyu, you must not miss it."

……

"The number of Qin troops is really very large, their bows and crossbows are strong, and their equipment is advanced, and the head-to-head duel is very difficult, especially Zhao Tuo's little cub...... It's still right that Yi Han is heresy, use a half-crossing attack to deal with the Qin people! ”

Tou Manshan looked into the distance.

I saw that on the other side of the North River, a black Qin flag fluttered in the wind, and this scene made him inexplicably afraid.

In addition to the combat effectiveness of the Qin army, the commander of the Qin people named Zhao Tuo was what made Tou Manshan Yu really afraid.

Zhao Tuo, the little wolf cub, although he has never met once, has already deceived him again and again, and the battle of the land in the first two years is the pain in Tou Mandan's life.

Now that Zhao Tuo has hit the grassland, Tou Manshan Yu is already very cautious and cautious, but he was still deceived by him again.

Although the loss was not large, it left a shadow in Toumandan's heart, feeling that Zhao Tuo, a little cub, had too many eyes, and he would be fooled if he was not careful.

Therefore, it is better to block the Qin army on the south bank of the river, and it is a good choice to attack halfway.

"Da Danyu, our people found the Qin army's boat divisions in the upper reaches of the Beihe River, and there were a lot of them, and I think they relied on these boats to cross the river before they came. This time they asked the boatmen to sail from the big river to the North River, and they would definitely still use these boats to cross the river. ”

"I have asked the cavalry to monitor the movements of the Qin Army's boat division along the river bank day and night, as long as they make a move, we can find it immediately!"

Hu Yanru rode over to pray, saying that the entire Beihe River was full of Hun cavalry, and once the Qin army was in trouble, it would definitely not be able to escape their eyes.

Tou Manshan nodded with satisfaction, and the river in front of him made him feel a little relieved.

Even thinking of the effect of his deduction of "half-crossing and attacking", he still had a faint expectation, hoping that Zhao Tuo would start crossing the river earlier, and he would give the other party a head-on blow!

Zhao Tuo did not let Tou Manshan wait for a long time.

On the second day, some patrolling Hun cavalry found that the Qin army's boat division in the upper reaches of the Beihe River had moved.

These boats, with black flags, sailed down the river and arrived at the main force of the Qin army.

Then you can see the Qin troops on the other side of the river starting to board the ships in turn.

Qin Jun, start crossing the river!
