Chapter 14: Take the initiative

Dongfang Yu's words can be described as hitting the nail on the head and taking root to the root.

Defending the North Gate Pass is certainly a good way, but on the whole, being too passive and passively facing the enemy is equivalent to being beaten.

Dongfang Yu is not willing to do such a thing! Let alone? In his dictionary, there are never two words. This is the blood carved into the bones, no one can change it, he can't tolerate a barbarian, jumping on his territory.

The barbarians dare to come, either win or die, for this two ways.

Let alone! Han Cheng was destroyed, and Qin Di changed masters, and only Bei Liang knew about it. The news did not reach Beiliang, for example: "Grassland." ”

When Han Cheng occupied Qin County before, in addition to guarding against other forces in Beiliang, most of the focus was on the border passes. The 3,000 most powerful regular army was prepared to deal with the Xiongnu.

Han Cheng, as the weakest of the several major forces, was almost in a state of obedience to the provocation and invasion of the Huns.

This kind of life under the fence and without dignity is something that a man can't swallow. The 3,000 armor soldiers who were secretly trained were secretly put into the North Gate Pass as a bargaining chip for a showdown with the Xiongnu.

It's just that what Han Cheng didn't expect was that the three thousand soldiers hadn't come in handy yet, and he had become Dongfang Yu's prestige in Beiliang. Three thousand specially trained soldiers became Dongfang Yu's subordinates.

So! The Huns would only feel that the guards stationed at the North Gate Pass were still the generals under Han Cheng. In the eyes of the Huns, Han Cheng was just a means for them to make profits, a pug that made them wanton.

Lantian frowned, as if he understood the meaning of Dongfang Yu's words, "Your Highness's meaning, do you want to take the initiative to attack and annihilate the enemy?" ”

Dongfang Yu nodded, with a slight smile on his calm face, and confirmed: "Yes, the art of war is cloudy, taking advantage of its unpreparedness and surprise is the key to defeating the enemy." ”

"This king just wants to take advantage of the Huns going south and when we are most relaxed in vigilance, kill him and turn his horse on his back."

Now the military system of Qin County has not yet been built, the strength of the army is not perfect, and the only strength that can fight is 2,000 Xuanjia troops, 100 escort troops, and 3,000 border troops after special training. For the safety of the base camp, on this expedition, Dongfang Yu also deliberately broke the two thousand Xuanjia troops in half, half guarding Qin County and half guarding the North Gate.

The Hun army has always been fierce, especially the most elite cavalry in the Hun army, which can be called a stronger iron cavalry than the Flying Dragon Army. With Dongfang Yu's current strength, with all his strength, even half of the combat power of the Flying Dragon Army cannot be compared, if he works hard with the Huns, it is tantamount to an egg hitting a stone.

"Your Highness! At the moment, our army only detected the light cavalry scouts of the Huns, and the location of the Hun army, and even the number of troops, is still a mystery. In such a situation where the enemy and the enemy are not clear, how can we defeat the enemy? ”

Luo Zong took a step back, as if he was secretly blaming himself, and it had been two or three days since he discovered the Hun scouts. However, he did not find out where the main force of the enemy army was, and it was his dereliction of duty as the commander of the first army.

Dongfang Yuhan smiled and shrugged his sore arms and shoulders, "It's okay!" Gather your soldiers, and tomorrow evening at noon, the whole army will attack. ”

The coach has been in office for a long time, and they may have forgotten. The most mysterious guard under Dongfang Yu's command, he can kill the enemy at the top and spy on the bottom. Fifty guards had already changed into civilian clothes, mounted horses, and began to search and reconnoiter the Huns. It is expected that tomorrow morning, the specific information of the Hun army will be able to be grasped by him.

Maybe! When the army is in a fierce battle, there can be an unexpected gain!

"Stand down! The king is tired. Dongfang Yu waved his hand lightly and gave the order to evict the guest.

"No!"

The generals stepped back one after another, stretching their waists and lying flat on their chairs. Only he knew that this time the Xiongnu went south, and it was impossible to go south on a large-scale southern expedition.

There are two very important reasons: first: the Xiongnu invaded Dawu in the south, and the food and materials needed to be prepared sufficiently, which the Xiongnu tribes could not do at the moment; Second: Now it is the autumn season, only three months from the winter, the Xiongnu went south to invade Dawu, Tun's grain is not enough for the winter, how to take the grain to invade the Dawu Empire!

Moreover! Once it is winter, the roads and city walls are frozen, the defense is favorable, and the attack is difficult, and the Xiongnu cannot be so stupid that they don't even know this.

For these two points, it is enough to conclude that there will not be too many Huns. At most, it is a small army of three to five thousand, and they want to go south to grab a wave of grain before winter.

Day 2! It happened that during the hazy fifth watch, the escort army sent out in several waves finally returned to the North Gate Pass.

The efficiency of doing things is so fast, Dongfang Yu at this moment is still in his ignorant sleep, and there is a commotion outside the door.

"Your Highness, Yuwen Hu asks to see you." Yuwen Hu knocked lightly on the door and shouted quietly into the house.

He was also afraid of making a noise to Dongfang Yu, so his movements were extremely careful.

"Whew!"

As if he had heard the movement outside the house, Dongfang got up lazily and leaned against the head of the bed. Subconsciously looked out the window, only to find that a crescent moon was hanging, and it was the hour when the sky was over.

Dongfang Yu, who was sleeping, maintained sensitive vigilance at all times, especially during the march, he was in a state of vigilance, and he did not dare to relax in the slightest.

"Come in!" Dongfang Yu's voice seemed a little weak.

Crunch!

The door was gently pushed open, and Yuwen stepped through the door and carefully closed the door.

Walked straight to the position half a meter away from Dongfang Yu.

He bowed down and said, "Your Highness, the batches of guards sent have returned." ”

"How's the news?"

"The Huns were stationed a hundred miles from the North Gate, according to the situation detected by the guards. There were about 5,000 Xiongnu soldiers, who only walked 30 miles a day, playing while walking, and only a small part of the herdsmen who stayed on the steppe, but they suffered. Several herdsmen families were wiped out, and cattle and sheep were taken away. Yuwen said angrily, "These Huns are really not human, they are also grassland tribes, and they are so ruthless." ”

On the grassland, there is more than one Xiongnu. Take the entire grassland as an example, the Xiongnu are divided into the Southern Xiongnu and the Northern Xiongnu. There are also other Wuhuan people, Qiang people and other small tribes that are not weak.

And Dongfang Yu faced the strongest Northern Xiongnu.

"Hmm!"

Dongfang Yu nodded.

Really! As he guessed correctly, this was just a small force of the Huns.

It's just that! Five thousand people scare Han Cheng's old thing, but it's not enough to scare him.

"Go down first! Let the brothers of the Guardians rest well, tonight! There could be a bitter battle. ”

"No!"

Yuwen Wu gently exited the house.

As the number one general under Dongfang Yu, Yuwen Hu's responsibilities are not just his guards. The leadership of the escort army also fell on Yuwen Hu's waist.
