Chapter 152 The Work of Cutting Food

The Xiongnu Da Dan Yu was furious, and when he was about to get angry, he saw that only 5,000 of his vanguard troops had come down, and the remaining 5,000 people had all been shot and killed by the Qin people! It seems that it is almost impossible to take Xucheng hard!

Could it be that the people of the Qin State had eaten the heart of a bear and had the courage of a leopard and dared to contest the Huns? Should this battle continue? The grain and grass did not come up, and the city could not be attacked! Moreover, his elite soldiers had already lost 5,000 men without even touching the edge of the city and before the ladder was erected, and this loss was really too great!

Why is the defensive strength of the Qin people so strong? I don't know how many times higher than the people of Zhao State!

Could it be that this old guy is more powerful than Li Mu of Zhao State? Strange, it wasn't like this before, at least, he still has a chance to severely damage the Qin army, how can the combat effectiveness of the Qin people come up?

Could it be that because Wang Zizheng is supervising the war? So, they are deliberately calling him?

He was a little incomprehensible, sighed, and had to temporarily collect his troops and return to the camp, invite the generals to his camp tent, and ask them how to fight, how to take the border city of the Qin State?

"Da Shan Yu, I feel that this time the Qin State is different from before, I don't know if it is because their prince Yingzheng has arrived at the border, it seems that the tactics are even more clever than before, and it seems that there are also masters who are instructing!"

Captain Zuo also agreed: "They rushed to our prairie a while ago to spread wild, oh, by the way, they rushed out to the army a few days ago, the number is unknown, estimated, at least more than a thousand people!"

At night, his soldiers didn't see clearly, only saw a group of Qin soldiers marching towards the prairie, so he predicted it with a thousand people!

In his opinion, what can the soldiers of the Qin State do? At most, just like the previous time, the people of the Qin State secretly beat their small tribe again!

When Yu Touman, the Xiongnu Dadan, heard this, he was shocked: "More than 1,000 people? Are you right? Strange, what do these Qin people want to do? Go to the prairie to find us desperately? Impossible! What do these Qin people want to do?"

He couldn't help muttering to himself, his face was dazed, and he didn't seem to feel what the people of the Qin State wanted to do at all!

After a while, he shouted: "Okay, this Qin people are amazing! They must want to cut off our grain and grass, let us make chaos without a fight, and then retreat! Poison, the people of Qin are cunning! Poison, even more insidious than the people of Zhao!"

At this time, he understood what the Qin people were going to do: people didn't want to fight with themselves in the offensive and defensive battles of the city, perhaps, Captain Zuo Dadu's idea was right, but unfortunately, they were late, and the Qin people took the initiative on the battlefield, it seems that if they continue to fight, I am afraid that it will be impossible to lose both!

What should I do? Withdraw my troops? Are I willing? Are the soldiers willing? The people of the Qin State have taken a big advantage this time!

"Tell me, how should we fight? Shall we withdraw first? If the grain and grass can't come up, and if we continue to fight, we're afraid that we won't even be able to defeat both!" Soon, he calmed down.

After all, it is the big single Yu of the Huns, although he likes to fight and kill, but he doesn't want to lose inexplicably!

Lieutenant Zuo heard what he meant, pretended to think for a moment, and then suggested: "Or, Da Danyu, let's withdraw! It's no fun to fight any longer, if the grain and grass can't come up, we will be hungry in two days!"

"Ah, how can we retreat? It's not easy for us to make a trip, just withdraw like this, the soldiers will definitely not be happy! Or, let's fight for another day, no, withdraw again!"

Da Shan Yu Touman was a little unhappy when he heard this, and then, his eyes rolled and he was happy: "Okay, haha, Gut, if you want to fight, then fight! This time, you are the vanguard, Captain Zuo, let's be the backing! Yes, Captain Zuo, let your troops go and see what the situation of the grain and grass is, if you don't come again, we will really be hungry!"

"No!" the two lieutenants were satisfied, as if the change of roles was exactly what they wanted, and no one was unhappy!

When Touman saw it, he sneered again, and then ordered them to go their separate ways!

Yingqi on the city pass saw that the Huns had retreated, and then, he also went to rest, but ordered the soldiers who monitored the movements of the Huns to closely monitor the movements of the opponents, and not to be lazy!

"No, don't worry, general!" The soldiers of the Qin State fought majestically this time, and they all smiled: this time the fight was very happy, and the soldiers in the city were only injured a dozen or so, and they were all lightly injured, and none of them were seriously injured!

This war was unexpected by everyone, even Yingqi was no exception, he originally thought that according to the previous way of fighting, the Qin State would have at least about 100,000 casualties, strange, why?

The Huns came from afar, and they were in a quick battle, so why weren't they in a hurry? What went wrong? Could it be that Yingzheng and their sneak attack were successful?

The more he thought about it, the more difficult it became to figure it out, and it seemed that the war had progressed completely beyond his imagination!

Ying Zheng and his entourage have been wandering on the grassland for three days, and they have not rested for these three days, on the contrary, they are more nervous than ever!

The busiest is of course Li Zhen, he has been monitoring the movements of the Huns day and night, but he does not dare to go too far into the steppe, only within the reach of Yingzheng and their forces, they will monitor the Huns' grain transport army nearby, once they find out, they will raid at night, burn and retreat!

Repeatedly succeeded, each time he successfully burned the Huns' grain and grass to the ground, and he took advantage of the night raid to kill a lot of Hun soldiers who transported grain and grass!

Of course, they also have losses, after all, grain and grass are also the lifeblood of the Huns!

The first two times the other party was not prepared, they burned smoothly and did not do any damage! But after the third time, it was troublesome, and the Huns knew that they were on guard, and took turns to patrol the night, so that they had no chance to sneak attack, so they had to break through! Fortunately, Li Zhen's sword qi was at stake, but after all, he wanted to alarm the enemy!

Half of the 200 soldiers had been lost in the three battles, and they had no choice but to bury them on the spot!

Wang Jian sighed: "We only have one hundred and twenty people, our brothers have lost a hundred people, next, our battle will be even harder, we can't divide our troops anymore!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone sighed, indeed, the casualties were not small! Although the losses of the Huns were greater than theirs, there were more than 200,000 Huns, and they only had a total of 120 people.

In this way, it is even more difficult to cut off the enemy's grain routes! Because the Huns have three grain transport teams, not one! Now, they can no longer take care of both, and it seems that they can only cut off one of them every night, and they cannot divide their troops to fight!

"No! Then we can't hurt the Huns, if their grain and grass are continuously transported to the main camp of the Huns, then all our efforts will be in vain! Okay, you take these 100 soldiers all the way, and I will go all the way myself, hehe, so we may be more refreshed! However, you boys be careful, I can't save you if we are ambushed by the Huns! We are at least 500 miles apart!" Li Zhen resolutely denied Wang Qian's idea this time.

He wanted to go it alone, running with this kid, he himself felt aggrieved, their speed was too slow, he couldn't keep up with his rhythm at all, but he didn't want to dampen their desire to fight! This time, at the critical moment, he had to act alone!

Otherwise, all the work will be wasted!

Ying Zheng thought about it and suggested: "Senior brother, how about I act with you?"

"Cut, boy, you'd better be honest with me, this time, I can't help you! I'm from the air, by the way, you show me my horse, it's okay, leave a few soldiers to take care of the dozen or so war horses! You Daqin don't have many war horses, you can't afford to lose!" Li Zhen reminded them again

Then he flew away, without even looking at them, and left them to decide what they were doing!

Seeing that Ying Zheng was a little stunned and at a loss, Wang Jian smiled and said: "Prince, Senior Brother Li Zhen's methods are not something we can learn! Okay, our target is the prairie on the left, compared to Senior Brother Li Zhen, our departure point is closer to the destination, and we can attack the Huns' grain and grass army in two hours at most! Okay, let's also go, Meng Tian, this time I command, you and Ying Long will protect Wang Zizheng! King Han, General Han, Zhao Xuan, you also act with Wang Zizheng!" We can't send people to protect you! The military is limited, please forgive me!"

"Hehe, this prince doesn't need protection, you all kill the enemy with General Wang Qian, and this prince is no exception, if anyone doesn't fight actively and retreat quickly, this prince will cut off his head! Don't forget, I'm a supervisor! Give orders, General Wang!" Ying Zheng smiled proudly.

When Wang Jian heard this, he immediately gestured: "Let's go!"

Then, more than 100 riders immediately went to the grassland on the left, the speed was very fast, and they disappeared in a flash!

Li Zhen watched in the air for a while, and then he was happy: "Very good, this prince can rest assured, haha, I burned the east one, and then I will help you! Maybe, you can also solve the north one! Huns, you should withdraw your troops!"

He acted immediately, and in the blink of an eye, the person was gone, and it seemed that he had learned the fairy sword!

The next day, the right captain couldn't hold it anymore, and commanded his 30,000 iron horsemen to march towards Xucheng!

He seems to have summed up the lessons of the previous two attacks on Xucheng by the Huns, and this time, instead of attacking immediately, he began to dig the earth: order all the soldiers to clear the weedy slopes, and then, pile up the sand, in an attempt to form a high fortress, to form a confrontation with the walls of the Qin State!

Xiongnu Dashan Yu Touman saw his idea, and immediately ordered all the Xiongnu soldiers to participate, and in just a moment, it was piled up into a high platform of about two meters, if, one day, they could pile up a dirt slope equal to Qin City!

If this is the case, then the Qin State will have no advantage at all!

As soon as the old general Yingqi saw it, he knew that it was not good, and if he did not attack, if the other party formed an earthen fortress that was even taller than his own, then the Qin army would have no advantage! Moreover, the situation on the battlefield would be reversed!

Therefore, he no longer hesitated, and wanted to hand over the command of the city tower to Ying Ke, who knew that Ying Ke listened to his plan, and smiled: "General, haha, the matter of charging into battle will be completed in the future, rest assured, this general only needs 10,000 soldiers and horses, and he will definitely be caught off guard by the Huns!"

"No, you must lead 30,000 horses to assault, if you are frustrated, you will personally lead another 50,000 elite soldiers to reinforce! This is a dead knot, we must win the dead knot, otherwise, once the Huns have the upper hand, we will be finished! Okay, go, the sooner the better, I will order all the archers in the city to cover your charge, use cavalry, not infantry, this is a decisive battle!" Yingqi's face was a little solemn.

Seeing this, Ying Ke immediately drew his long sword and rushed downstairs, about to make the soldiers switch and charge.

At this moment, Ying Qi did not immediately order the soldiers to charge, but shouted in surprise: "Ying Ke, you wait, it seems that the Huns want to retreat! Haha, wait a little longer, let's pursue with 200,000 troops, you come up, let's see it clearly! Haha!"

Ying Ke went upstairs to take a look, and sure enough, the Huns had begun to retreat, but they seemed to be a little flustered, and even the Hun camp showed signs of opening!

"It must be Wang Zizheng that they hurt the Huns, haha, we will pursue, but don't exceed ten miles, we can't take advantage of the prairie, go!" Yingqi was already laughing.

Subsequently, all the soldiers of Qin Pass rushed out of the city pass, immediately gathered under Xu Cheng, and pursued along the grassland, and those Huns who had no time to escape became the soul of their sword!

But the discipline of the Qin army was really high, and sure enough, they stopped attacking after only ten miles!

Ying gathered his troops one after another and smiled: "Let's go, go back to Chengguan, let's prepare to give Wang Zizheng and them a celebration wine, haha, this time, if there is no them, maybe this general will also die in Xucheng!

The generals next to them all shook their heads, and smiled bitterly, it seemed that they couldn't figure out why the Huns withdrew? They didn't have much loss, according to the Huns' combat strength, it would be no problem to fight for a few months, strange!

At this moment, a group of cavalry appeared in their sight, and the one galloping at the front was Wang Zizheng!

"Wang Zizheng is back!" everyone cried out in surprise.

Afterwards, Yingqi welcomed them back to Xucheng, and immediately ordered the soldiers to offer the most beautiful food and wine, and smiled: "Haha, the old man is still dreaming, and the battle is over, haha, I still don't know what's going on! It seems that I'm old, this Great Qin country, it's time for you boys to carry it! Hehe, Lao Zizheng, why don't you tell us about your achievements, how about it?"

"Yes, haha, you boys are happy, but we have become a stuffy gourd! Just now, we were still worried that the Huns would build an earthen city and fight against us, then, our advantage would not exist, and maybe, there was a possibility of annihilation!"

Ying Ke also smiled excitedly.
