General Qin

At the foot of Helan Mountain, the sun is just right.

On the wide and flat green grassland, there are countless figures galloping on horses, tens of thousands, innumerable, very spectacular.

Marquis Xi of Guishuang stepped forward on his horse and looked at the countless prairie cavalry in front of him. He suddenly felt full of pride and ambition, and couldn't bear it any longer, so he sang a battle song of Yuezhi on the spot.

"White clouds float high in the sky, and grassland horses run on the ground. The men of the Yue family are strong and strong..."

The song is over.

Guishuang Xihou looked back at Xiumi Xihou and Shuangmi Xihou behind him, and laughed loudly: "The warriors of the three tribes of my Yue clan are all here, and there are a total of 90,000 cavalry! Such a number of grassland warriors, even the Huns We have to turn around and run around, we don't have to be afraid of the Qin people at all, and we have to beat them!"

"Win them!"

The two Xihou also agreed, very confident.

The Yue clan had never fought against the Qin people from the east, but that didn't prevent them from estimating each other's fighting strength.

They knew that the equipment of the Qin people was better than that of the grasslands, so good that they were greedy. If they were in a mountain fortress, the warriors of the grasslands would not be able to defeat the Qin army.

But on the grassland, it is the place where cavalry rule the roost.

No matter how good your infantry equipment is, on the grasslands, a two-legged man can't run a four-legged horse.

Facing the infantry of the Qin army, the Yuezhi people could shoot with bows and arrows from a distance, fight with each other when they were close, or slip to death with their horsepower.

In short, as long as they tried to eat up the cavalry of the Qin people, the remaining more than 100,000 infantry were just a piece of meat, and they would not pay attention to it at all.

Never played, always have an optimistic attitude.

After laughing, looking at the 90,000 army gathered in front of them, the three Xihou officially began to discuss the next battle strategy.

The scouts they sent out had already found the Qin army, and they were indeed marching along the route provided by Wu Zhiluo, which proved that Wu Zhiluo was indeed helping them, and there was no need to doubt the news.

"The letter behind Wu Shiluo said that the weakness of the Qin army is their logistics. When we Yuezhi people are fighting, we can eat dried meat and cheese when we are hungry, and drink water from our leather bags when we are thirsty. Anytime, anywhere , eat immediately."

"But Qin people are different. They are conscripted farmers. They eat corn and wheat grown in the fields. They also need to bury pots on the ground to boil water for cooking, otherwise they will starve."

"Wu Zhiluo said, as long as we bypass the Qin army's vanguard, kill the food delivery team behind them, and burn all the Qin people's food, then we will win!"

"Without food, even if we stop attacking, the army of the Qin people will collapse due to hunger. At that time, we can easily defeat them and turn the 200,000 Qin people who dared to set foot on the grassland into slaves! "

Wu Zhiluo's letter suggesting that the Yuezhi people attack the Qin army's grain team was sent by a dead man shortly after sending the marching route. shock.

In that letter, the situation of Qin Jun was listed in detail.

The forward and main force of the Qin army had a large number of elite cavalry and armored soldiers, which was difficult to fight.

The grain transportation team of the rear army is the weak point. Except for some guards, most of the food transportation team are unarmored peasants. Wu Zhiluo suggested that they avoid the strong and attack the weak, which won the hearts of Guishuang Xihou.

Now when he said it, the two Xihou also agreed.

The eagle-nosed and double-flapped marquis grinned and said, "When a pack of wolves hunts, they will never fight against strong beasts, but go around to the back to hunt the old, weak and injured prey in the pack. In this way, we can still get fresh meat while preserving ourselves, this is a very good method that Wu Zhiluo said, so we will do it like this.”

"Send a cavalry to lure away the cavalry and main force of the Qin people in the front, and then we will attack their food transport team from the rear and burn their food." Hou Mixi followed suit.

"Okay, since the two Xihous have agreed. Then we will send 20,000 cavalry to lure away the main force of the Qin army, so that they have no time to cover the food transport team behind, and our army will swarm up like a pack of wolves. The Qin people's food transportation team ate it up!"

Guishuang Xihou made a final decision and made a plan for Yuezhi.

His eyes sparkled with excitement.

"People from Qin, the wolf is coming."

...

The huge marching team has stopped and is resting around a lake like a silver mirror.

"Bah, I'm so salty, it's too salty!"

Fan Kuai spat out all the water in his mouth, his face was twisted together.

Li Shiqi covered his stomach and laughed beside him: "I said this is a saltwater lake on the grassland. Why don't you believe it, you dog butcher, you have to try it. I think you didn't drink much just now, or drink two more." Mouth to try?"

Fan Kui blushed, staring and said: "Go, go, I know it's salty, but I just want to taste it. If you laugh at me again, be careful that I will secretly pour this water into your water bag and kill you This guy."

Seeing his cronies playing with each other, Zhao Tuo nodded in satisfaction.

Li Shiqi was a smart man who had climbed up from the bottom. He didn't have the reservations and family views of a famous family. Although he was a right-handed elder and a high-ranking nobleman now, he didn't put on airs. He got along well with his newly promoted Fan Kui, Cao Can, Xiao He and others, which helped them integrate into the group as soon as possible.

When Li Shiqi and Fan Kui were making fun of him, Chen Ping came over.

He looked at Zhao Tuo, and said with some hesitation: "General, the Yuezhi people have sent more and more scouts recently. It seems that the war will start in the past few days. We really want to throw the rear team to them as planned. Is it? The most important thing for the army is food and supplies, if they really succeed, it will be troublesome."

Zhao Tuo looked calm, and said: "The Yuezhi people are hunters of the grassland. They will not be so stupid as to fight us head-on on the grassland. There are more sneak attacks and surprise attacks. That's all. I'd rather What I'm afraid of is that they will lead their troops to flee far away and go around in circles with us on the grassland, that's the real trouble."

"If you want to defeat them and avoid these situations, you must take out the bait. Whether it was indulgence of Wu Zhiluo's collusion with the enemy before, using trust to induce, or deliberately revealing flaws, using the rear army that transported food as bait, everything is for the purpose of killing the moon. The family brought it here."

"The Yuezhi people are cunning prairie wolves. If they don't have enough delicious bait, how can they jump into our trap willingly?"

Looking at Chen Ping's frown, Zhao Tuo smiled and said, "Chen Sheng, you have to know that you have to take risks in war. The greater the result you want to achieve, the greater the risk you will take."

Chen Ping nodded, and said: "The general's plan to use Wuzhilu to lure the enemy is naturally good, and let the wolf jump into the trap by itself. But I am afraid that all the cavalry will be placed in front and be lured away by the Yuezhi people. The fate of the rear army Even if there are a large number of elite soldiers in the grain team, but there is a lack of cavalry, we are afraid of failure."

Zhao Tuo looked back at the direction of the rear army, showing confidence.

"Don't worry, even if the main force of the Yue Clan cannot be destroyed, my rear army will not have any problems. My millions of arrows are not vegetarian."

After appeasing Chen Ping, who was worried in his heart, the army went on the road again.

They had penetrated deep into the grassland, and they were only two hundred miles away from the Helan grassland occupied by the Yuezhi people. If the cavalry galloped at full speed, they could reach it in a day, and the probability of encountering the main force of the Yuezhi people was greatly increased.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, Qin Jun's vanguard encountered Yuezhi's main force.

"General, Yuezhi cavalry appeared in front of them, numbering as many as 20,000 to 30,000. After fighting with our army, they were shot by crossbows and retreated. General Zhao, do you want to pursue?"

The messenger nervously sent back the previous information.

Chen Ping, Li Shiqi and other counselors all tensed up, a little nervous.

Zhao Tuo glanced at them and said with a faint smile, "These wolves are quite smart, and they even sent people to seduce us. The play was well done."

As he said that, Zhao Tuo issued a military order: "Order the former army to pursue, but at a slower speed, and maintain the combat effectiveness of the soldiers."

At the same time, in addition to the former army, Zhao Tuo also led the main force of the Chinese army and followed behind the former army.

In this way, the rear army transporting food, fodder and supplies in the rear was out of touch with the main force in front.
