Liaoxi County, sixty miles south of Yangle.

In a mountain col, the Black Dragon Banner was hunting in the wind, and the 30,000 Great Qin Iron Horsemen below were training, except for the rumbling sound of horses' hooves hitting the ground, no one made a sound.

In the Chinese military account, General Wu Jian is in the first place, and the former general Feng Ta, the later general Zhao Sheng and the three partial generals are separated.

"Report! The Beihu cavalry has begun to dismantle the camp tent half a day ago! 5,000 Donghu infantry each guarded the two mountain passes, and 30,000 cavalry had reached Daqingshan! ”

Wu Jian raised the saber in his hand, knocked on the mountain pass on the map, looked at the generals in the tent, and said solemnly: "The dismantling of the camp tent began half a day ago, and it is estimated that it has been opened now." The distance between the two mountain passes was 160 li, there were 60,000 people in Er, and there were only 40,000 people in Titomur, and the infantry in the mountain passes could only delay the attack of the Beihu cavalry, but they could not cause too many casualties. ”

"Then, Titomur's plan should be to let the infantry in the mountain pass consume the cavalry and hinder the grain and grass, and his real killing move is the 30,000 cavalry in Daqingshan! This place is bordered by the Chagan Mulun River in the east and the Xilamulun River in the south, no matter whether the Northern Hu cavalry attacks from the south or north of Daqing Mountain, Tito Muer can hide at the eastern foot of Daqing Mountain to attack his back. ”

Feng Ta nodded, and said in a deep voice: "What the general said is good. Even if Er'er was intercepted at the mountain pass, the loss of a few thousand people was the limit, and 40,000 against 50,000, Titomur's chances of victory were not great. If you hit him in the back, you can expect to win. It seems that this Titomul still has a bit of a brain. ”

Zhao Sheng then said: "Beihu's scouts will definitely not be able to cross the five thousand defenders of the mountain pass to find out the whereabouts of Titomur's main force, and it is very likely that Titomur's sneak attack will be successful. General, how do we deal with it? ”

Wu Jian held the saber in his hand and paced back and forth with a frown.

He paid the most attention to intelligence gathering, and the scouts he sent out would return every half day to report on the situation of the enemy forces, draw detailed maps, and know the movements of the two armies well. But he only has 30,000 people, and it is a question whether he should directly attack the rear of Donghu or sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

After thinking for a moment, Wu Jian turned around suddenly, slammed his fist on the table, and said fiercely: "Seal the step!" ”

Feng Ta immediately stepped forward and bowed down and hugged his fists: "The end will be!" ”

"Immediately send someone to inform Gao Yu, the county guard of Liaoxi, and Zhao Ke, the county guard of Liaodong: order the commanders of the two places to each bring 7,000 border troops, one hundred and sixty miles from east to west, and march north in the starry night, and the march shall not be less than sixty miles a day, until the end of the water (the upper reaches of the Songhua River) and the difficult water (the lower reaches of the Songhua River) stop. Tell them that Your Majesty has given me permission to act cheaply, and those who violate the order will be punished immediately! ”

"The last general commands!" It's terrifying.

Seven thousand each! The border army of the two counties was only 30,000 people in total, and half of the border army was drawn from the Great Wall......

Feng Tao thought so in his heart, but he didn't say it. Not only did he believe in Wu Jian, but none of the 30,000 Qin troops were loyal to him and trusted him unconditionally.

"Command: Assemble the cavalry at once and set off in two quarters of an hour! Seal! ”

"The last general!"

"You lead 10,000 cavalry from Xiangping (Liaoyang) out of the Great Wall to the north!"

"Command!"

"Zhao Sheng!"

"The last general!"

"You lead 10,000 cavalry from Yangle (Yixian) out of the Great Wall to the north!"

"Command!"

Wu Jian stared at the people in the tent and said in a deep voice: "If you encounter the Donghu tribe on the way, you must solve the battle as quickly as possible, collect its sword, and sink when it encounters water." Don't care about the prisoners, that's what the border army should think about! Scouts are only placed within ten miles of each tribe to monitor movements. ”

"If you are defeated, immediately turn back and report to me, Ben will lead 10,000 cavalry to hide at the confluence of the Xinkai River and the Xiliao River, prevent Titomur from fleeing eastward in defeat, and at the same time intercept the Hu people to explore the cavalry. Remember: within three days, no matter whether you go to the end of the water or the difficult water, immediately turn back and join the general! ”

"The last general commands!"

Half an hour later, Gao Yu was the first to receive Wu Jian's order.

"Fuck! Is this Wu Jian crazy? Lao Tzu plus the county soldiers had a total of less than 20,000 people, and he took away more than 7,000 elite border troops at once! Sixty miles of march in one day! Lao Tzu's soldiers are iron-beaten? Don't want the Great Wall? His grandma's! ”

Du Wei Cheng sighed heavily: "I don't know where this Wu Jian came from, Your Majesty actually gave him the right to act cheaply." If the last general takes 7,000 people, I'm afraid the Great Wall will be in danger! ”

Although Gao Yu had a short temper, he carried out the military orders of the imperial court and Meng Tian to the letter.

"Alas, since this is the case, listen to him, Your Majesty trusts him, and must have some ability. Wei Cheng, you immediately ordered 7,000 troops, and according to the general order sent by the messenger, you left the Great Wall and went straight north. Listen to what he means, you only need to surrender, and you basically don't need to fight. But you also have to be careful, Hu Ren is ghostly, don't go away! ”

Wei Cheng has been at the border for a long time, so he naturally understands that the military order is like a mountain, and immediately clenches his fists and says solemnly: "The last general understands!" ”

At night, Zhao Ke, who was sleeping, also received Wu Jian's order.

Looking at the messenger, who was almost half dead, Zhao Ke realized the seriousness of the matter. Wu Jian also complained in his heart, but he immediately ordered Du Wei Yanquan to lead 7,000 people out of the Great Wall overnight to the north.

The next day, just after dawn, not far from the Great Wall, a Donghu tribe.

"It's a good weather today, hurry up and prepare some jerky for me, today I'm going to go farther and put those cattle and sheep to their heart's content!"

A sturdy man looked at the rising sun and said to the woman next to him with a simple smile.

The woman smiled and responded, "Okay, I'll go and prepare." Don't go too far, I heard that there is going to be a war with Beihu in the west. ”

The man restrained his smile and sighed lightly.

"I don't know what to do every day, it's all a family, calling around all day, what's the point."

"Who knows, it's better to be careful."

The man shook his head: "I know." I'm going south today to buy some salt from Wushifeng. ”

Wu Shifeng is a merchant near the Great Wall, but he is not doing serious business, to put it bluntly, he is smuggling.

The two were just about to turn around and enter the tent when suddenly there was a rumbling sound in the distance.

A child sprang out of the tent and sniffled: "Abba, thunder." ”

The man's face changed slightly, for a herdsman, the sound of thunder and the sound of horses' hooves hitting the ground was still clear.

"I don't know if I'm here to collect food again!"

In order to collect grain and grass, Titomur specially set up a team to collect grain, and came to the tribe every few days to collect grain.

"Didn't you just take the levy the day before yesterday? I'm going to starve to death if I go on like this! The woman muttered discontentedly.

When Zhao Sheng's cavalry arrived in front of them, the faces of the two changed greatly. The knight on the horse wore a leather helmet and leather armor, and hunted the black dragon flag, isn't this the costume of the Qin army?!

A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Sheng's cavalry rode away, leaving behind only a herdsman with their weapons confiscated, their hands and feet tied, and a few tribal guards who rose up against the slain.
