It was the coldest winter, who would have thought that Bai Qi only took 6,000 people and went straight to the Xiongnu grassland.

Six thousand people, what can be done? In the eyes of the Wood people, I'm afraid it's not enough to give the Huns a tooth sacrifice!

Don't say it's Wood, even if you look at the world, anyone who looks at it is an act of decapitation.

The first thing Bai Qi did was not to launch an attack on the Xiongnu tribes and the main hinterland, he led the army day and night, and unexpectedly occupied the border of the Xiongnu steppe, a place called Evil Ridge.

This place is very special, it is the place where Bai Qiyou has been walking for nearly two months, and after checking the map of the Huns in many ways, he finally decided that he would first take it down.

Entering the royal city of the Xiongnu can be approached directly, and retreating, you can directly wander to the city of the country of India that is now guarded by Gan Yu Zhou.

And that's just the beginning.

After arriving at the Evil Ridge, Bai Qi directly sent someone to tell Shan Yu Wulan, who was far away in the Holy Heaven City.

"I'm here for Bai Qi, and now I've occupied your Evil Ridge, and I have six thousand people under my command. What I'm saying is true, you're going to hit me if you have a kind! ”

"If you don't come to beat me, don't blame me for taking the opportunity to take your head!"

To tell the truth, even Liu Qi couldn't help but be shocked when he learned the news, this was no different from sending him to death.

At this time, Shan Yu Ulan was spending the winter peacefully in the Holy Heaven City, with the Great Khan's army and 150,000 people by his side. Moreover, as long as he gave an order and called for reinforcements, the main cavalry and foreign legions scattered all over the steppe could quickly come to reinforce them.

Therefore, for Ulan, he is the safest in the city now, and no one can do anything to him.

No matter how much Bai Qi's soldiers can fight, there are only 6,000 people, and it's not like this for jokes.

However, Bai Qi nakedly told Ulan about his troops and tactical intentions, without any concealment.

At this point, even Qin Wei, the deputy head of the march beside Bai Qi, and Han Zhong, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, felt that it was inappropriate for Bai Qi to do this.

But the result shocked everyone again.

After Shan Yu met with the war envoy sent by Bai Qi, he privately said such a sentence to his subordinates that will be recorded in history.

"If the Qing army fails to lead the main army to come, Bai Qi dares to be in danger alone? I don't believe it. Bai Qi must be lying. There must be ghosts in this! ”

In this way, Bai Qi effortlessly planted a layer of obstacle in the hearts of the Huns.

At this time, although Bai Qi had already occupied the Evil Yang Ridge, he had already formed a deterrent to the Huns, as if he was a sharp blade hanging overhead.

However, the enemy's strength is still there, and anyone who underestimates the opponent is not stupid by the opponent, but by himself. Not to mention that he has been through a hundred battles. Not to be underestimated.

Bai Qi still needs to be cunning in order to win.

For this operation, Cheng Rong, a subordinate of Wood, said, why do you want to be scheming? Gather the army and go straight up to do it, won't it be over?

Absolutely not.

Because number one.

The Qing army did not have a superiority in numbers.

Second, even if the war is won, the grassland is so big, and the Huns are much more familiar with the terrain than you, they can run away calmly, and then wait for the next autumn when the horses are fat, and take revenge again.

To fight a war, we must not only win the war, but also leave no future troubles. Otherwise, you are leaving yourself in trouble, and it is better not to fight.

What Bai Qi wants is very simple, cut the grass and eradicate the roots! This is exactly what Liu Qi has always carried out to them.

And how can we push the powerful Xiongnu into a desperate situation step by step?

At this time, in the face of the Huns who were holding on to it and waiting for work, Bai Qi began to play chess.

The next operation is simply obscene.

The first step is a very simple tactic, which is two words: "harassment".

But not to harass people, but to harass livestock

Why?

The reason is very simple, the main wealth of the Xiongnu tribe is cattle, horses and sheep.

In winter, the daily life of the Huns was that during the day, let the cattle, horses and sheep go out to find food, but due to the climate, they could not eat enough, and they would come back at night to eat the forage saved in autumn.

This is exactly the weakness that Bai Qi is looking for. He began to send small elite troops to plunder and kill the Huns' grazing teams, cattle and sheep.

As a result, the Xiongnu were losing real money every day.

Moreover, for them, it is the depths of winter, and summer is still far away, and such days are likely to last for a long time.

It is worth mentioning that at this time, Ma Tengteng, the prince of Tibet, who had already made an appointment with Liu Qi, had already canceled the trade with the Xiongnu.

The Huns held a lot of gold and found that the cattle and sheep under their hands were already very lacking, and it was already very good to be able to live with food and clothing.

If it were the same as before, they would buy from South Korea or Gyeongkook.

However, almost all the local sheep in Korea have been slaughtered, and Qingguo has closed the trade route with the Xiongnu.

This makes the Xiongnu family, which is not wealthy, even worse in this cold winter, which can be said to be miserable.

As time passed, the Huns were killed and injured countless cattle, horses and sheep, and Shan Yu Wulan thought that this was a deliberate lure plan set up by Daqing, in order to let the Huns send troops.

Therefore, even so, no matter how tight the days are, the Huns did not move a single soldier to Daqing.

But the people didn't think so, watching their property being slaughtered by Daqing, and when Shan Yu didn't do anything, their hearts became more and more bottomless. people, so much so that many people, feel that there is no hope in life.

And when hope is dashed, it is the beginning of failure.

Now, Shan Yu Ulan has not yet discovered that the tribes under his command have begun to deviate from Germany.

And this is the essence of the art of war that Bai Qi learned from Liu Qi.

Siege for the bottom, attack the heart for the top!

Immediately after that, it is time for the second step. Discord!

This is not Bai Qi's operation, but Liu Qi.

Having said that, in order to rush for time, Bai Qi only brought 3,000 people after all, and it was in the bitter cold of deep winter.

Is he really stupid enough to use these 3,000 people to fight against the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Huns?

To put it bluntly, all his previous steps and all his means were to achieve his current goal, to give Liu Qi enough space and discord.

Liu Qi once again sent his own think tank, Lu Liang.

has an in-depth understanding of the Huns before, and Lu Liang can be said to be at ease in this matter.

In less than a month, many tribes of the Xiongnu have been favored by Liu Qi, giving cattle to Yang, money to beauties, and giving whatever they want, all of which have long been spread in the grassland.

Therefore, there are some tribes that are not strong-willed, and they do not reject the secret envoys sent by Liu Qi at all.

It didn't take long for even the leader of the Yantuo tribe, Chi Lihan, to surrender to Daqing in private.

They were willing to pay soldiers, as well as their own cattle, horses and sheep, and also brought first-hand information about Shan Yu Ulan to Liu Qi's side.

Now, the seemingly powerful Xiongnu are actually weakened.

Bai Qi relaxed for the first time and smiled at the soldiers in the full tent.

Because then, it comes to the most critical and important step.

Let's fight!!
