Chapter 151 The strategy is the same
Li Zhen pondered for a while before he smiled, let's go to our resting place today to discuss this issue again! Meng Tian, Han Zhen, and you, including Zhao Xuan, let's all think about how to attack the Xiongnu in the best! If we directly raid the Xiongnu Dadan in the headquarters, it is simply impossible, there are at least 50,000 elite soldiers, and our 200 people are just sheep in the mouth of a tiger! We had better not even think about this thought! Our principle is to be flexible, and we can do anything without this!
Another gallop until dawn, when they rested in the meadow where there was a water source! Unfortunately, there were no Xiongnu tribes around, and they could not catch cattle and sheep, so they had to eat dry food!
Li Zhen said with a smile while eating dry food: "You boys' eyes are bright, if there are rabbits and sheep, go and catch them, haha, it's okay to steal them! The territory of the Huns, we don't need to pay attention to it, in short, we have to eat and drink well! Of course, we can't drink alcohol this time, our wine is too little, hehe, at most, just me and Wang Zizheng and Lie Senior Brother to drink, your wine, all of them are ours!"
He was a little greedy, and of course he attracted everyone's opposition!
The first to speak was Han Zhen, who had never been big or small, and immediately bombarded Li Zhen: "Senior brother, we all have good wine, haha, so, my wine must have been drunk by General Ben himself! Hehe, you have to be humble, be humble yourself! We are a small team, all equal, especially in terms of eating and drinking, General Ben will not let anyone! Senior brother, eldest brother, and fourth brother are all the same!"
As soon as he expressed his position, Zhao Xuan was also happy: "Me too, haha, although I am inferior in the Qin State, my wine is still mine, haha, it doesn't matter if Senior Brother Zhen, Wang Zizheng, and Prince Han don't care, I just won't let me!"
Suddenly, even the Ying brothers of the Qin State were happy, and they all said that their wine would be drunk by themselves, and even the soldiers were unwilling to hand in the wine, and they regarded it as life one by one.
Wang Jian sighed and smiled: "Okay, my wine province is given to Wang Zizheng, Meng Tian, you are the same, haha, we have to wait for a good Wang Zizheng!"
"No, your wine is yours!Okay, let's each drink our own, really senior brother, we all know that you are good wine, hehe, but, you can only drink your own!"
Li Zhen was helpless, sighed, and said with a wry smile: "Okay, do what you kid want!" Haha, my son doesn't matter, hehe, I want to drink, it's very refreshing, you are not allowed to grab wine from me when the time comes!"
The implication is that I want to grab the wine of the Huns and drink it, or, go back to Xianyang and move the wine myself!
Han Xinglie smiled: "Let's fight the autumn wind, okay, didn't we just say that we wanted to discuss how to fight? Wang Zizheng, what do you think? Let's hear it, let's not use our brains this time, this is the battle of your Qin State, haha!"
"It's beautiful for you! At this time, Prince Ben has no idea! Big brother, what do you have in mind? Really senior brother, what do you think? And you, all use your brains, how can we fight? We dare not say that we have too few troops, alas!" Yingzheng is a little unsure, so hurry up and ask them for advice!
All of a sudden, everyone was silent, not daring to speak casually, for fear of misleading his thinking!
Han Zhen saw that no one dared to speak, so he smiled: "This war, one is to rely on pre-war preparations, and the other is to look at the level of thinking, whoever can surprise will win! This Qin State is equal to the soldiers of the Huns, it is a vicious battle, according to our conventional way of fighting, the biggest possibility for both sides is a draw, but both sides will lose at least 100,000 people! Therefore, we must win by surprise, we want to fight the Xiongnu Dadan in the headquarters, but we have too few troops to shake his main force!" The biggest possibility, hehe, the real senior brother will be an assassin and kill the Huns with a sword, and we will win, haha!"
"Haha! haha!" Everyone laughed: of course this is the most refreshing thing!
Therefore, they all set their eyes on Li Zhen, obviously, they wanted him to make a move.
Li Zhen sighed, and then smiled bitterly: "It's not as simple as you think, first of all, it is very difficult for me to find the Xiongnu Dadan Yu among the thousands of tents! Besides, I can't directly intervene in the affairs of your Qin State, if I destroy the Xiongnu Dadan with a sword, it is certainly happy, but it is possible to change history, which is not allowed! Therefore, you can figure out everything by yourself, I will not come forward to do this kind of thing!"
Ying Zheng was stunned: Could it be that there is any mystery in it?
When he was thinking, Wang Jian was already thinking: "Since Senior Brother Li Zhen can't make a move, and we can't hit the heart of the Xiongnu Da Danyu, then, we have only one way, cut off its grain and grass! Ah, but we have too few people, so we can only burn its grain and grass and force it to retreat!"
This remark was undoubtedly earth-shattering, and at once, everyone's hearts lit up, and even the soldiers around them were energized, and their eyes were warm!
"Okay, refreshing, haha, Wang Qian, you are worthy of being a famous general who will move the world in the future, hehe, your vision is really unique! Haha, this is exactly my master's and mother's favorite way to play! Cut off its grain road, four words, it is easy to say, but it is also difficult to do, and it is even more difficult on the grassland, because the prairie is too wide and too big! We can only find out the connection between the various departments of the Xiongnu, as well as the way and how many people they deploy military rations, and then we will burn them unexpectedly! Okay, I will complete this intelligence work!" Li Zhen was already very happy, and his face was very refreshing.
With the release of these four-character mantras, the direction of this small army was suddenly clear, Ying Zheng suddenly made up his mind, and smiled: "Okay, then the intelligence collection work will be completed by the senior brother! Haha, however, the command of our army will also be implemented, well, I propose that Wang Jian take command, what do you think?"
When everyone heard this, they were all surprised: What's the matter? This prince is so generous? The command of the offensive and defensive battles in the border city was given to Yingqi, and now, the military power to command more than 200 people has been handed over to Wang Qian, why?
Seeing that everyone was surprised, Ying Zheng smiled: "Do you think I will monopolize power? haha, I am not a general, this trip, I just want to see the situation of our Great Qin soldiers, as well as our actual combat ability, these days, I basically have the bottom in my heart, haha! Our army is good, morale is high, combat effectiveness is not below any army, and it is three points better than Zhao Guo!" But we also have shortcomings, after General Bai Qi, it will be difficult for our generals in Great Qin to command a big battle of more than 300,000 people, except for the old general Yingqi, so Meng Tian, Wang Jian, and you must learn to command! Like the old general Ying, we must be able to command at least an army of more than 200,000 people, otherwise, we will not be able to fight a big battle!"
In a word, he basically saw through the strength and weakness of the current Qin army, that is, there are too few top-level generals, and even Meng Fu is not a top-level military talent!
Wang Jian was naturally excited, thought about it, and then smiled: "Of course, the prince doesn't want to be a general, you are the real commander of our Great Qin! Haha, okay, then Wang Jian should be a little general for the time being, hehe!"
Afterwards, he immediately gave the order to divide the two hundred and twenty people into two groups, he brought one by himself, and the other group was led by Meng Tian, and at the same time, the corresponding errands, such as guarding, hunting, cooking, etc., were carefully taken care of.
"Haha, General Wang Jian is as meticulous as dust, and even I can't compare to this!" Meng Tian saw his assignment and immediately admired it.
Wang Jian smiled: "This is all said in the art of war, at present, we are fighting on the grassland, and there is basically no rear, so let's simplify it! Senior Brother Li Zhen, when your intelligence arrives, we will decide how to burn the grain and grass of the Huns!"
"Don't worry, boy, you've just taken the position, why are you in a hurry? Boy, you'd better manage these two hundred people first, especially these twenty light generals, all of them must be familiar with each other, and then, when my intelligence comes back, you will assign tasks! The matter of burning grain and grass has long been accustomed to me, haha, you kid command, I will take them to burn! The key is to be fast, our biggest enemy is not the Huns, but our own habits, remember, don't work hard, burn and leave! You Qin soldiers are too belligerent, this is very bad! Li Zhen had already begun to remind them.
Sure enough, Wang Jian immediately showed a deep thought, and then pondered with Meng Tian!
Just when they were pondering how to burn the grain and grass of the Huns, the 100,000 soldiers and horses led by the Xiongnu Dadan Yu Touman finally arrived in Xucheng, and when they saw the two captains on the left and right, he was unhappy: "Why haven't you launched an attack on the Qin army yet?"
"Xucheng has the prince of Qin State, Yingzheng is in charge, and the commander is Yingqi, that old guy is very powerful, we tried to attack a few days ago, and as a result, we lost nearly two thousand brothers, so we can't gnaw on this hard bone!" Captain Zuo Dadu's face was embarrassed, and he seemed to be a little afraid of looking at Touman's eyes, so he quickly lowered his head.
When Da Shan Yu Touman heard this, he frowned: "Incompetence, it's simply an insult to the dignity of my Great Huns! Isn't it just an old man and a stupid boy? Strange, you two teams of 50,000 people, and you can't gnaw at Xu Cheng? So, have you fought in other places? Won't you bypass their border cities and sneak attack the Qin people from behind? We can even fight Li Mu, what's so difficult about this old guy of Yingqi? As for that little cub, isn't it that we can catch it?"
"Da Dan Yu, we also have this intention, it's just that the ability of our two divisions to attack the city is limited, and only Da Danyu's headquarters army cavalry can attack the tough city! So, what we mean is that I and Da Danyu's headquarters army and horses are attacking the city, and Captain Zuo Dadu takes the opportunity to go around to the south and pass through that rugged path, let's attack their grain team, so that the Qin people can be chaotic without a fight! In this way, the Qin city can be broken, the prince of the Qin State can be captured, and we can bargain with the Qin people! I heard that this Qin State is the richest country among the seven countries of the Central Plains today, and we will definitely be able to obtain many of the things we want!"
When the Xiongnu Dadan Yu Touman heard this, he was immediately happy, and laughed and said: "Haha, good, very good, this idea is very good, we currently have 150,000 people, and there are still 50,000 in the north to fight Li Mu! Well, I really don't want to, withdraw all the troops attacking Zhao State, let's knock out the border city of Qin State first, and take down the little cub of Qin State in exchange for our greatest interests! Hehe, this time, we can make a big profit!"
Unexpectedly, the idea of the Huns coincided with Wang Qian's tactics, and the contest between the two sides was no longer a battle of offensive and defensive border cities, but an attack on each other's grain routes!
In just three days, the Huns basically mobilized their troops and horses and prepared to attack the city in a big way!
At this moment, Yu Touman, the great Xiongnu commander, suddenly found that the grain and grass had not been delivered in the past two days, and he was not happy: "What's the matter? Evil King Huns, aren't your troops responsible for transporting grain and grass? Your grain and grass can't be transported, what will our 150,000 people eat, drink, and fight!"
"Ah, haven't the grain and grass been transported? I'm still preparing how to attack the city, what's going on?What is that kid doing, I want his 3,000 men to be in charge of the grain and grass!"
When Da Dan Yu Touman heard this, he was unhappy: "You go and see the grain and grass in person, we have 150,000 people, and the grain and grass are not enough, how can we attack the city?" Alas, Captain Zuo, don't attack the other party's grain road for the time being, in case our grain and grass are not available, it is useless to say anything!"
"Yes, Da Dan Yu, but if we don't move, will the people of the Qin State think that we don't dare to fight? Why don't you let the right captain attack first?"
After all, the last time he attacked the city, he had already lost 2,000 men and horses, and this time, he couldn't let his army fight to the death!
How do you know that the Huns took the lead in attacking Xucheng: "No, this time to attack Xucheng, my main force will go first, and the two of you will also attack, one will attack the left city, and the other will attack the right city, let's take a three-pronged approach, fight first! Moreover, the speed must be fast, I am most afraid that our food will be short, then, we will have to withdraw!"
Indeed, how much grain and grass does his army of 100,000 cost a day, and if the grain and grass cannot be delivered for another three days, they will all be hungry, and then there will be no need to attack the city again!
So, he ordered the flag to be pointed, the military drums were waved, and the 100,000 Hun cavalry were waved in turn, and the first to attack the city was the elite army of Hongling, the elite army of Da Dan Yu Tou!
The army of the Qin State seemed to be unprepared, everything was calm, and not even arrows were fired!
The Huns thought they had a plan, and immediately whipped up, and another 10,000 troops attacked!
At this moment, ten thousand arrows suddenly fired from the city, and in one fell swoop, more than half of his vanguard troops of 3,000 people were shot and killed!
In less than two moments, the 10,000 vanguard troops retreated, and they were all shocked: "Da Danyu, this Qin people are cunning, we have met an opponent, they are condescending, we can't take any advantage!"
