Chapter 308: Prevention before it happens
The Huns were hiding in embarrassment, and the garbage stored on the hot air balloon had been thrown away.
The Xiongnu could only watch Liu Zhang and them float east in a hot air balloon, and the Xiongnu's bows and arrows could not shoot the hot air balloon at all.
Liu Zhang and they were able to attack the Huns on the ground, and the Bank of China said that the others were annoyed.
This was also too aggrieved, and some of the Huns were hit by something thrown from a high altitude.
They were injured to varying degrees, and the Hun camp was in shambles.
The Bank of China made it very clear that they could not stay here any longer, their location had been exposed.
If Liu Zhang told Li Guang about the Xiongnu camp, the Han army would kill them.
The Bank of China said that it ordered the Xiongnu to transfer, and now it no longer makes sense to block the northern border of Wei's Korea.
Liu Zhang: They took a hot air balloon to the east, but they didn't expect that they would use this means to leave Wei's North Korea.
Later, they were able to easily bypass the blockade of the Xiongnu, and the talents of the Han Dynasty should not be underestimated.
The potential of the Han Dynasty's national strength should not be underestimated, and the Bank of China said that it was also clear that this was Liu Zhang's masterpiece.
It's too hard to get rid of him, and it's not easy to get rid of his family.
At this moment, the Xiongnu became more and more fearful in their hearts, and the Han Dynasty became more and more powerful and wealthy.
In the future, it will be more advantageous and easier to fight against the Huns.
The hot air balloon continued to fly northwest, and their destination was Xiangping City.
Li Guang is there, and it is estimated that he will not arrive until noon tomorrow.
They first find a safe place to stop and camp temporarily, and it is impossible for the Huns to find them so quickly?
The hot air balloon flew very fast, flying hundreds of miles west of the Hun camp.
It's only a matter of an hour or so, even if the Huns ride over.
It takes at least a day, and in some places it is mountainous.
Mountains affect the speed at which horses run, and hot air balloons cross mountains.
Liu Zhang and the others chose to camp in the mountains, and they also used tree branches as camouflage around them.
Their side is more than 300 miles away from the Hun camp, and the drone has been observing the dynamics of the Huns.
Liu Zhang looked at the subspace watch in the tent, and the picture transmitted by the drone.
The Xiongnu set up camp, and it seems that they are about to move.
They knew that it was dangerous for the location of the Xiongnu camp to be exposed, and they were worried that the Han army would attack the Xiongnu camp.
Subsequently, they saw the Xiongnu migrating to the northeast, instead of chasing Liu Zhang in the direction where they were.
Liu Zhang and the others spent the night peacefully in the mountains, and continued their journey the next day.
Arriving at Xiangping City at noon, they came to the outside of the city and looked at the tall rammed earth city.
When the Han army defending the city saw the hot air balloon landing, they were on high alert.
They saw some Han soldiers in armor walking down from the hot air balloon and wanted to confirm the identity of the other party.
The gates of Xiangping City were closed, and there was an invasion of the Xiongnu in the past two days.
The city of Xiangping had been on high alert, and they feared that the Han army outside the city was pretending to be the Xiongnu.
Lieutenant Xiangping reported the matter to Li Guang and asked him to make a decision.
Li Guang learned that there were some hot air balloons parked outside the city, and hundreds of Han troops.
He guessed that it was Liu Zhang and they came, and the soldiers guarding the city didn't know Liu Zhang and them.
He personally went out of the city to greet them, and they would be able to return safely.
The drawbridge at the city gate was lowered, and Li Guang led the Han army out of the city.
The Han army defending the city heard that Liu Zhang was coming, but they heard Li Guang mention his deeds of killing hundreds of Huns.
In the hearts of the Han army, they are warriors, and they are very worshipped.
"You've completed your initial mission, have you encountered any other dangers along the way?"
"Thank you General Lee for your concern! We found out about the camp of the Huns, and just humiliated them, the Huns they should have moved yesterday. ”
They returned to the city together, and then gave a detailed account of the situation on the side of the Huns.
Li Guang led them to the war room, where a sand table was placed in the large room.
Liu Zhang looked at the geographical terrain on the sand table, and there were red flags on the sand table.
It has the official script "Han" written on it, and there are also blue flags in some areas.
That should be the area where the Xiongnu operated, and the Xiongnu did not have so many fixed cities.
They took the yurt wherever they went, so it was not so easy to find the Huns.
"We're coming from here, and the Huns' camp is in this location. There should be no one here, and I guess they moved to this position. ”
Liu Zhang picked up the blue flag in the box next to the sand table and marked the Xiongnu camp with the flag.
Take another banner to mark the place where the Xiongnu are about to move, and if you want to pursue the Xiongnu, you have to go over the mountains and mountains.
These geographical terrains have been investigated by people on the spot, and the error is not large.
The sand table was invented by Liu Zhang, and it played a great role in operational command.
You can intuitively see the deployment of the Han army, as well as the general movements of the Xiongnu.
"I don't recommend sending troops to fight them, they can rest easy. At present, we have to guard against the Xiongnu in the north. ”
Liu Zhang pointed to the northwest of Xiangping City, a place where the Xiongnu were often active.
The Xiongnu may come in two days, and the first few times they were repulsed by the Han army.
They didn't grab the supplies, they were definitely not reconciled, and the Xiongnu would send some people to attract the Han army in Xiangping City.
The other part of the Huns went to grab supplies, and they quickly withdrew.
So that the Han army had no time to react, Liu Zhang predicted the prediction of the Xiongnu.
Next, as long as it is deployed, it can be done to the Huns.
Li Guang admired Liu Zhang's military ability, if the Xiongnu really invaded in the direction he pointed.
If the Han army was prepared, the Xiongnu would definitely suffer a big loss.
"It's just my prediction, I'm not very familiar with this place. Although there is this sand table, there is a big gap between theory and practice. ”
Liu Zhang just put forward his own ideas, whether to decide to send troops to ambush the Xiongnu.
That was Li Guang's decision, and Liu Zhang planned to stay in Xiangping City for five days.
They will then ride back to Chang'an, seeing that it is almost July.
Be sure to arrive in Chang'an before October, not only to report to Liu Che about the mission.
I also want to congratulate Liu Che, what will be the arrangement next year? Liu Zhang is also looking forward to it.
Maybe he will stay in the Red Marquis Kingdom, maybe he will serve as Langzhong.
Liu Zhang also wants to do a career, and he wants to return to the future.
Before returning to the future, he will use his abilities to inflict heavy losses on the Huns.
Let the people of the Han Dynasty suffer less, and maybe they can't change too much history.
"You rest here for five days, if the Huns come in these days, you can lead the army to attack."
Li Guang will transfer some Han troops to Liu Zhang at that time, and let him lead the Han army to kill the Xiongnu.
Liu Zhangzhi is both brave and complete, if he meets the Huns.
It will definitely make the Xiongnu suffer huge losses, and Li Guangyan wants to make a miraculous achievement.
He may have a chance to be a marquis, as long as he guards Xiangping City.
The Xiongnu really couldn't take Xiangping City, and the number of Xiongnu who came each time was not much.
They ran away if they couldn't beat it, and the war horses of the Huns were much faster than the war horses of the Han army.
Li Guang sent troops to pursue him many times, but still let some of the Xiongnu escape.
"If the Huns invade again next time, we must be prepared for epidemic prevention. The Xiongnu could not take the city of Xiangping, and they would definitely throw sick and dead animals into the city. ”
Let the plague spread in the city, and let the Han army be attrition in non-combat.
Don't think that the Huns won't do this, as long as it's beneficial to the war.
They will definitely do their best, and the Xiongnu will use some means to pollute the surrounding rivers.
Throwing sick and dead animals into the city if they are not dealt with in time.
People in the city will get sick, and when the time comes, it will spread from person to person, which will cause a large number of deaths.
Liu Zhang told Li Guang the worst thing and told him to be prepared.
"If you find a sick or dead animal in the city, burn it immediately. It is also necessary to prevent people from poisoning the wells in the city, and even more to prevent the Huns from infiltrating into the wells. ”
Presumably Li Guang has also taken these into account, and Liu Zhang still needs to remind him.
The plague cannot be taken lightly, and the medical conditions of this era are backward.
It's a small illness that is enough to kill people, and the plague is terrible. Liu Zhang had experienced it in the Red Marquis State.
His wife almost died of illness, and the Huns tried to defeat their opponents.
All kinds of despicable means will definitely be used, so we have to guard against it.
"What you thought of, I thought of too, there has been no abnormality in the city recently."
Li Guangke is a veteran of a hundred battles, and he is very experienced in managing a city.
He felt that Liu Zhang's proposal was very good, maybe next time the Huns would come again.
Sick and dead animals will definitely be thrown into the city, if they can't be detected in time.
The plague will spread throughout the city, and chaos may ensue in the city.
If the people in the city are infected with the plague, the combat effectiveness of the defenders will be greatly weakened.
As long as the Xiongnu waited for a while, they could easily take Xiangping City.
Then a fire burned the inside of the city, and they may also have measures against the plague.
Snatching valuable things from the city can also wipe out many Han troops.
Li Guang was really worried that this would happen, and the Huns had already been here several times this month.
Most of the Huns returned in vain, and they would surely be annoyed and angry.
Strengthen patrols in the city these days, if there is an abnormal situation.
It is necessary to deal with it in a timely manner, and the Xiongnu's plan must not be allowed to succeed.
