Let's say that Zhang Yiliang led 10,000 tiger cavalry to enter the territory of the Southern Xiongnu from the damaged section of the Great Wall north of Shuofang City. Walking day and night, it took three days to arrive at the big grassland of Wushen Banner. But there is no news of the Northern Hun cavalry. So more than a dozen scout detachments were dispatched to expand the scope of the search for news of the Northern Xiongnu.

Not long after, the scouts came back and found bits and pieces of information: a few days earlier, a cavalry of tens of thousands of people had come from the north of the Hetao, and had stayed on the north bank of the Yellow River for a few days because they could not cross the river during the flooding period of the Yellow River. In addition, a group of about 10,000 Xiongnu soldiers marched south along the east bank of the Yellow River......

Now that we are good, we can basically judge the offensive intentions of the Northern Xiongnu. The suspicious soldiers went straight from Mobei along the east bank of the Yellow River to the Tiger Pass. 10,000 cavalry beat the tiger prison, and the rolling wood and boulders can be smashed to death. If the defenders can't hold out, it won't be a big problem to withstand the 10,000 cavalry.

And the cavalry that wanted to take Chang'an directly from the Hetao area of the Southern Xiongnu was the main force of the Xiongnu. The Hetao area is the hollow area of the Yellow River, a prairie, and the most important territory of the Southern Xiongnu. If the Northern Xiongnu wanted to borrow the Hetao, they had to cross the Yellow River in the south. The area where they crossed south was the Bayannur area, where the river was wide and the river was the deepest. Of course, it is also possible to bypass the Yellow River and go down the left side of the zigzag, but this is a few hundred miles longer.

The two-way march of the Northern Xiongnu was for the sake of raids. In a hurry, they had to cross the Yellow River south and take the Hetao road.

However, the Hetao stretched thousands of miles long, and which way did the Xiongnu army go south? It was too unrealistic to find or wait for this contingent in the grassland. It is necessary to find out the entrance where they are most likely to enter the territory of the Jin Dynasty, and go to the place where the Hun cavalry must pass, and set up pockets and wait for them.

Yiliang analyzed the map for a while, and determined that after the main force of the Xiongnu crossed the river, in order to speed up, he would definitely drive long on the Hetao grassland and take Chang'an City in the direction of due south. Then what they must pass through is Wu Qizhen.

Wuqi Town is the intersection of the Monan grassland and the Central Plains mountainous area, and it takes about a day for the Hun cavalry to march in the Hetao area after crossing the river, just to reach the southernmost part of the grassland. After that, they had to march into the hills and mountains and infiltrate the Central Plains.

Before entering the hills and mountains, the Hun cavalry must take a rest, otherwise no matter how strong the war horses are, they will not be able to withstand it. In addition, Wuqi Town is also the only place in the south of Mo Nan that has sufficient water sources, and the Luo River flows here. This is the best resting place for the Northern Hun cavalry, and their tens of thousands of war horses are not something that Koizumi Ozawa can satisfy.

Take a gamble, and bet on the decisive battle in Wuqi Town. Yiliang put away the map and ordered the soldiers to go to Wuqi Town immediately.

Along the way, Zhang Yiliang made several sets of plans to raid the Hun cavalry.

The first set was when the Huns suddenly attacked when they drank the Maluo River. The horses had been running all night and all day, and suddenly they could drink water, and they must have plunged into the water and refused to leave. Then at this time, the natural cavalry advantage of the Huns was completely lost. However, the weakness of this attack scheme is that it is not flexible in time. If the Hun cavalry arrived at Wuqi Town during the day, this set of fighting methods would be very dangerous, with poor concealment and poor assault. Even if the 40,000 Huns did not have horses, if they discovered that others were attacking too early, tens of thousands of people would kill their 10,000 cavalry on the ground, and even if they won the battle, they would lose 800 of themselves.

The second set is a night attack. If the Huns arrived at Wuqi in the afternoon, they would wait until they had eaten and drunk enough and slept peacefully before acting, and a surprise attack at night was the best time. If the raid is successful, the casualty ratio can be controlled in the range of 1 to 20.

The third set is to wait for work. If the Huns arrived in Wuqi in the morning, they could not wait any longer and launched a surprise attack just as they were about to rest. The Huns had been running all day, and they were already approaching the limit of their physical strength, and at this time the surprise attack would be able to completely annihilate the enemy. Don't let them rest.

Yiliang's team traveled for a long time and arrived at Wuqi Town in the early morning. At this time, Wuqi Town was stationed in a group of Southern Xiongnu nomads, about hundreds of people, raising a large herd of cattle and sheep here. The 10,000 tiger army was hidden in the hills next to Wuqi Town.

The tiger cavalry dismounted to rest, the soldiers gnawed some dried meat, and the horses graze in the hills. After the marching meal, the large army rested on the spot, leaving a discharge post. Ila was lying on the grass, tossing and turning, and couldn't sleep. His heart was empty, unsettled, and seemed to have some palpitations. Very restless, very anxious.

The Luo River runs north-south, and Yiliang's tiger cavalry is in the hills of three miles on the east bank of the Luo River. He observed the terrain, and tens of thousands of horses of the Huns stood on the east bank of the Luo River to drink, and they would stand in a space of about a mile or so on the east bank of the Luo River. When the horses were drinking, the Huns should also take out something to eat and replenish their strength.

What was the best time to attack? When did all the horses start drinking? Or was it when the Huns let the horses drink and fetch food for themselves?

There is a saying in the book of war that the attack is half-crossed. But this time the Huns did not have to cross the river, and the Luo River suddenly turned from the original east-west direction to the north-south direction in Wuqi Town. After the Huns drank the horses, they could sneak into the mountains directly along the Luo River and take Chang'an directly.

Then half-drink. Zhang Yiliang invented a style of play by himself. He can't wait for tens of thousands of horses to drink water before fighting. Half of the horses went to the river to drink, and it was time to attack. In this way, the enemy army will inevitably be in chaos, and the horses have a herd effect, and the attack is coordinated, and drinking water and grazing also have this effect. Seeing half of the horses drinking water, the other half is thirsty and approaching the limit, so they must run to drink water.

That's right, that's it!

All morning, the Huns did not arrive. All afternoon, the Huns did not arrive...... When it was about to get dark, a good army ate meat to supplement nutrition, and the war horses were ready......

A gust of wind blew from the north, bringing a little coolness and adding a little vitality to the hot grassland. Immediately afterward, several black clouds rolled up in the sky, completely obscuring the moon, which had already illuminated the earth. A breath of killing has been blowing, Zhang Yiliang smelled it, his intuition was not wrong, the Huns were rushing here.

The outpost soon sent news: the Xiongnu army of about 40,000 people had marched more than ten miles north of Wuqi Town. Yiliang finally breathed a sigh of relief, called the deputy general Li Qi, and the two chatted.

Zhang Yiliang asked Li Qidao: How many years has General Li been in the army?

Li Qi looked very nervous, I didn't expect that at this time, you still had casual chatting, and said: More than five years.

You've only been a soldier for five years and you've become a lieutenant, so there must be someone above you, right?"

My father accompanied General Wei to conquer Shu and had military exploits. Li Qi said decisively.

What kind of battle did you make? Do you follow the Zhong Hui time?

Precisely.

Zhong will rebel, and your father did not support him?

Exactly, my father was the former captain of Sima Zhao's account, how could he listen to Zhong Hui's demagoguery?

This is also the direct reason why Zhonghui's rebellion was unsuccessful! An airborne commander who wants to betray the Sima family with the soldiers of the Sima family, such a stupid person deserves to die.

The Huns came immediately, and the general didn't say how to fight, but talked about these useless ...... Li Qi asked puzzled.

Who said that these things are useless? Hey, let me ask you, Zhong Hui betrayed the Sima family and was killed, why did his adopted son Zhong Yi not only not be killed by the Sima family, but gave him an official?

Although Zhong Yi is Zhong Hui's adopted son, he knows current affairs better than Zhong Hui. Jiang Wei deceived Zhong Hui, and later persuaded Zhong Hui to rebel against the imperial court, but Zhong Yi's opposition was invalid, so Jiang Wei's family and entourage were killed...... Li Qi was halfway through speaking, and his heart was even more uneasy, and he suddenly became uneasy about this commander Zhang Yiliang, and asked: General Zhang, we have 10,000 people and the other party has 40,000 people, can we win this battle?

You don't have to worry about whether you can win this battle, and you tell me, if you rebel against the Sima family's court right now, do you dare? Zhang Yiliang's words changed sharply, and Li Qi was really scared.

The general won't have the intention of rebelling, right? Li Qi asked dumbfounded.

Look at what kind of bird this Sima family has governed the world, shouldn't they be ousted from power? Yiliang asked with a smile.

After a hundred years of chaos in the Three Kingdoms, the Sima family unified the world, there was no war in the Central Plains, and the people were able to recuperate. What do you say?

According to you, whoever unifies the world can ravage the world, right?

Now is not the time to discuss this, General Zhang. The strength of the Hun cavalry is far stronger than you think, 10,000 people fight 40,000 people, how to fight? Li Qihou was anxious, and asked with a red face.

You can fight as much as you want. How do you say to fight? Ichira said indifferently.

In my opinion, the Huns must have spent the night here, and we waited until the second half of the night to raid them. Li Qi said.

A midnight raid is the next step. With 40,000 people, half of our surprise attack can be sudden, and the remaining half can react, and it is possible to counterattack. A good way.

If this Hun cavalry cannot be destroyed, Chang'an will be in danger. The defenders of Chang'an were less than 3,000 people...... Li Qi said.

Have you ever heard of half-drinking?" asked Kazura.

I've only heard of half-crossing and blowing, but I've never heard of half-drinking and blowing. Li Qi looked stunned and said.

We're going to half-drink tonight. Half of the Huns went to the river to drink water, and half of the horses attacked when they didn't have water. Kazura said.

Isn't it more dangerous for half of the centaurs to turn around and fight us if they don't drink water?

The Huns had been running for a day and a night, and we rested for a day. If we can't defeat them like this, then we deserve all of them.

The general fights at will, he is not completely sure, is he joking with the lives of soldiers?

I hope you don't joke with people's lives. You go and give the order, and you half-drink. Violators will be beheaded.

Li Qi understands that unity should be emphasized at this time. Even though there were many unpleasantness in his heart, he had to act according to Zhang Yiliang's orders. At this time, the Tiger Cavalry camp was particularly quiet, and a suffocating atmosphere enveloped the team. Their blood is full of blood, and their hearts are surging.

They look forward to this war and fear it. The expectation stems from the fact that there is a commander who has achieved great results in command of them, and the fear is because the Hun cavalry has always been fierce...... That's what Ikhiro wants.

The scouts came to report: There were still five miles of land left by the Hun cavalry, and their large troops slowed down, while the vanguard troops increased their speed and marched quickly to Wuqi Town.

Kazura asked: How many people are in the vanguard force?

Scout: About 3,000 people.

Kazura stepped onto his horse. He rested for a day, and was in good spirits and full of energy. At the sound of an order, all the tiger cavalry rolled onto their horses, checked their knives, and loaded their bows and crossbows. The Tiger Cavalry stood in position according to the company and lined up in a line.

After running for hundreds of miles, looking for so long, and waiting for so long, the hatred value has already been full. Ikirashi rode through the forest and made a round in front of a line of 10,000 people.

This battle is destined to be a tough battle. This battle is destined to become famous. However, in this battle, can the Tiger Cavalry win? We'll see you in the next chapter!
