Chapter 314: The Same Plan

About half a month ago, one day, King Zuo Xian used to think about the high city wall every day, this habit was cultivated when he began to invade the Western Regions, because the Hun army was strong in night battles, but the siege battle was quite weak, so King Zuo Xian began to think about how to attack the city on the city wall, and over time, he formed the habit of thinking about the city wall.

Originally, if the plan was complete, the Xiongnu could harass the Han army from the third line, so that the Han army could not concentrate on attacking the Western Regions, and knocked out the outpost Pei Shan, and the Han army could only divide more troops to protect the long supply line, so that the troops could not be conquered in a short period of time due to the dispersion of troops, and the time of the war was extended and expanded, so that the Han felt that the Western Regions were a land of chicken ribs, during which the Xiongnu integrated all the forces of the Western Regions, and finally formed an irreversible de facto occupation。

The plan seemed perfect, and the probability of execution was high, but unfortunately all the plans were changed by the long-lost Shule City. Not only did it change the process, but it also changed the content, delaying the supply of materials on the eastern front, making it impossible to go south with all its might, resulting in the failure of the southern front to achieve the predetermined goal. The northern front was also expelled from the range of Hexi by the Han army in winter, and the most fatal was that most of them were annihilated, and the weakening of the army was unbearable pain for the Huns. How to hold on to the results at the moment is his headache.

Zuo Xianwang picked up a small wooden pole and drew circles one after another on the thick snow, and there was a sound of feet stepping on the snow from behind, and Zuo Xianwang turned around and asked, "Who?"

The person who came was Ke Moore in an overcoat, but Moore smiled, "Disturbing your thinking?"

King Zuo Xian put down the wooden pole and arched his hand, "See the Great Khan, back to the Great Khan, the minister has not come up with any good methods, he is still distressed, it is not a disturbance"

But Moore stood next to King Zuo Xian, looked at the circles of the place, and then looked at the slightly thick snow on King Zuo Xian's hat, "Stand here for a while?"

King Zuo Xian looked at the city wall and smiled bitterly, "It's certain that it can, but how long it can be blocked, if the Han army starts from Yumen Pass, the distance of their grain and grass transportation is long enough, let's see who can't carry it first."

But Moore touched the city wall, "I hope it's not just Pei Shan, I also want to see if the city wall of this Yumen Pass is also so majestic."

King Zuo Xian asked, "The Great Khan wants to take the initiative to attack, go to the Yumen Pass?"

But Moore waved his hand, "I think so, but you're going to stop me, right, after all, I'm going to fight, and the weather is so bad, and we don't know how to attack the city, right?"

King Zuo Xian shrugged helplessly, "This kind of weather, it's really not easy to travel through those hundreds of miles, why don't we take advantage of this to practice and defend the city, eh!" King Zuo Xian seemed to have grasped some joint point, "I can't think of it? I can't think of it? I can do this! Khan, I have a plan"

But Moore smiled and said, "You don't want to say that we take the initiative to attack the Jade Gate Pass, do you?"

King Zuo Xian nodded, "That's right, and it's in this winter!

But Moore shook his head: "Then King Zuo Xian can solve the problem of our army's poor siege?"

King Zuo Xian pointed to this city wall, "Just use him to practice, don't attack, our people practice how to climb up secretly, quietly, fanfare will not work, as long as the Yumen Pass is captured, it is also a terrible fortress, with it, we don't lack anything!"

But as soon as Moore heard this, he immediately became moved, after all, he could be said to be from his own plan, so he patted Zuo Xianwang on the shoulder and said, "Immediately order someone to train! The sooner the better!

The same training was painful for the Huns who were not accustomed to large winter movements, and half a month had passed, although it was practiced by Ke Moore and Zuo Xian Wang, but in Zuo Xian Wang could only be said to have barely passed, in his opinion, letting people with this level of training carry out this plan was tantamount to death, and only with excellent luck could it be possible. However, in the eyes of Comoore, these soldiers made him very satisfied, and the gambler's psychology was at work, and he wanted to gamble once.

"Zali, you don't have to say, Ben Khan has made up his mind, he has trained for so long, it is impossible to give up like this, like this, doesn't it chill the soldiers?" But Moore did not hesitate to refuse King Zuoxian's request to cancel the plan.

"But the Great Khan, at the moment their siege ability is more than the minister's subordinates, but attacking the strong Yumen Pass, the minister is not yet full of confidence" Zuo Xianwang expressed his worries, "The biggest problem is that the Yumen Pass is much taller than here, we can only steal Pei Shan now, and the Yumen Pass is not yet sure"

"What are you afraid of, we are outwitting this time, we are going to fight the Han army by surprise, and the strong attack will not work, Ben Khan naturally knows, Zuo Xianwang does not need to say it, the vanguard, set off on a certain day! Take down the Yumen Pass for Ben Khan!" But Moore didn't want to hear it anymore, so he could only make a final decision.

Choosing a day to set off, is to choose a time when the wind and snow are not so big, looking at the ambitious Ke Moore such a bold plan, Zuo Xian Wang can only do his duty as a courtier, explain their tricks to climb the city, but unfortunately, except for Zuo Xian Wang's own subordinates, most of the others do not listen, originally this task should be handed over to the most familiar with the siege of the city Zuo Xian Wang Department of special training, but the previous strong attack on Shule, heavy losses, and this time it was Ke Moore himself to prepare this plan, and the other little chiefs who did not get enough military merits, naturally regardless of whether their troops are suitable or not, one by one to stuff their own people into this army, perhaps this is this subtle reason, so that the training did not catch up, but now it is too late, and the fight has never escaped.

Lack of experience in winter travel, so this time they traveled, found a guide from Pei Shan City, in fact, most of the people in the Western Regions are just grass on the wall, as long as they can survive, in fact, it doesn't matter who the backer is, so they don't have any psychological obstacles to assist the Huns, and their biggest assistance is skis, but the trouble is that they are used to galloping on horseback, and it seems that they need to get used to this kind of thing.

This back and forth finally caused an ending that no one expected, the Han and Hungarian sides actually camped and rested three miles away from each other, and the heavy snow covered the traces of both sides, but laid the groundwork for the upcoming encounter.
