Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 109 Preparing to face King Youxian

Among the large tribes in the north, Zhou Bo's troops rested for more than ten days.A soldier looked a little anxious, and ran quickly to a mansion: "General Qi, the front is two hundred miles away. I found that the Huns are camping, and they seem to be planning to rest."

"Two hundred miles away? I didn't order Ma Ma to increase the scope of the investigation. Why did they only find out their whereabouts after two hundred miles?"Zhou Bo was startled, thinking silently in his heart.If you gallop along the official road for two hundred miles, you can launch a night attack that night.

When the soldiers heard the inquiry, they quickly replied: "According to Tanma's inference, the main force of the Huns is hiding from our army's Tanma because they hide by day and come out at night."

"Day and night?".Zhou Bo pondered, did they plan to attack at night?If it is trimmed during the day today, it should be too late in time.Maybe tomorrow?Thoughts flowed: "Who is the main general of the Huns this time, and how many enemy soldiers and horses are there?"

"The Huns have about 20 soldiers and horses. The flag of the Chinese army seems to be the king's flag. It should be the right and wise king of the Huns."The soldier pondered and organized his words in his mind, and told Zhou Bo one by one.

The 20 army of the Right Wise King of the Huns?Zhou Bo felt as if a boulder had been pressed in his heart: "Please come to discuss matters with the military adviser and my son."

"promise".The soldier quickly bowed to accept the order and walked outside the tent.

Zhou Bo looked at the backs of the soldiers going away, thought of the upcoming battle, and then looked at the map on the case table.Time passed quietly unconsciously.

The sound of footsteps interrupted Zhou Bo's contemplation. Zhou Yafu and Chen Ping came at the same time: "Father, I hurriedly called my child, but found the enemy's trace."

"According to the news that our army scouted horses and inquired about. This time, the Youxian King of the Huns personally led an army of 20 to go out day and night, and the soldiers pointed directly at our troops."Zhou Bo relayed the news he had just learned to the two of them.

Chen Ping frowned slightly when he heard the news: "Although our army captured this tribe, we suffered heavy losses due to the previous onslaught. The tribe's fortifications were completely destroyed. I'm afraid it is not a good thing for our army to stay here." ".

"Our troops are only [-] now. [-] of them are led by Lan Zhengqing, and they are guarding against the small and medium-sized tribes that have just surrendered outside the tribe. At this time, our army has only [-] troops, so how can we resist it?" The Xiongnu Youxian King's Department".Zhou Yafu looked embarrassed.

Zhou Bo looked at the map, intending to find a satisfactory place to fight on the map, and pointed to a place for a long time: "The fortifications are almost broken, and the tribe has been guarding for a long time, and it is feared that the people in the tribe will collude with the troops of King Youxian of the Xiongnu, so that Our army is in a pincer attack. Therefore, the general decided that our troops will advance thirty miles and set up camp here. One is to cut off the connection between the two, and the other is to guard this necessary place, and we can also concentrate on fighting the Huns. Department of the virtuous king".

"Although there are two mountain ranges on the left and right sides of this place, the middle section is slightly open. With our current [-] soldiers and horses, it may not be easy to defend."Zhou Yafu watched carefully, slightly worried.

Chen Ping looked in the direction of Zhou Yafu's finger, and carefully looked at the open area: "[-] soldiers and horses are somewhat difficult, but what if it is [-]?".

"Sixty thousand? The meaning of the military division is to transfer back to Lan Zhengqing's headquarters."Zhou Yafu pondered and began to weigh in his heart.

Zhou Bo pondered for a long time: "Sending Lan Zhengqing's troops out is just to guard against those idiots. If our army is defeated, the general situation is over. It doesn't matter if they rebel or not. In the same way, if our army wins, we will take the victory with us." If Wei returns home triumphantly, those young people will be self-defeating."

"Before the war, the Donghu and the Xiongnu returned to aid in a large scale. Almost half of the young and strong tribes left. When the war started, the two tribes recruited soldiers in the central grassland, and the remaining young and strong were empty. Although the central grassland still has millions of people , but they are all old and weak, women and children, and very few are young and strong. As long as our troops firmly cut off the connection between the rear and the Youxian King of the Huns, they will not dare to act rashly."Chen Ping analyzed the two of them.

Zhou Bo nodded slowly, and tapped heavily on the map again: "Return to Lan Zhengqing's headquarters, our army will immediately advance 20 miles to set up camp, and hurry up to build fortifications on the spot. Facing the Xiongnu Youxian King [-] Wan Jingrui, if our army is in the tribe of the Huns, it would be unwise to divide our troops."

Seeing that Zhou Bo had made a decision, Chen Ping and Zhou Yafu were about to speak.A sound of footsteps came, interrupting the two of them.

Holding a bamboo slip in his hand, a soldier bowed to Zhou Bo: "I report to the general, an urgent message from Seoul."

"Urgent?".Zhou Bo was overjoyed, and quickly went to the soldiers and took the bamboo slips.Chen Ping and Zhou Yafu also looked over quickly, revealing the light of anticipation.

The bamboo slips were slowly opened, a trace of joy spread in Zhou Bo's heart, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help showing a smile: "Military division, Yafu, my lord, as early as more than ten days ago, led 11 relatives and satellites to gallop to support our department at night, and Wei Qing, Huo Qubing led an army of [-] to follow closely behind. The lord has an order, this time we must defeat the troops of King Youxian of the Xiongnu in one fell swoop, bring together the generals with the power of victory, and completely occupy the central grassland."

"Wei Qing and Huo Qubing had 11 soldiers and horses, and the lord's personal guards were 20. In addition to our 20 troops, the total was [-], and the soldiers had enough food. On the other hand, the [-] soldiers and horses of the Xiongnu Youxian King's army were cut off. Although they have just been wiped out The morale of the Eastern Hu has greatly increased, but the army has no choice but to lack food day by day, so how can it be undefeated."Chen Ping was determined, and then it was some analysis.

Zhou Yafu bowed to Zhou Bo: "Father, my son, please lead the [-] soldiers and horses of the headquarters to go ahead and set up camp thirty miles away to build fortifications."

"allow".Zhou Bo agreed without thinking.

Zhou Yafu was overjoyed, but just as he was about to take the order, Chen Ping stopped him by saying, "Wait a minute".

Zhou Bo and Zhou Yafu looked at Chen Ping with puzzled expressions, not understanding why he blocked them.

"Our army should immediately move the whole army forward for [-] miles and build fortifications immediately, otherwise I'm afraid it will be too late."Chen Ping expressed his concerns.

Zhou Bo looked even more puzzled: "My lord's reinforcements are coming, so how could it be too late?"

"Don't forget that there are no straight roads or official roads on the road from Seoul to here. Even if the Lord leads the most elite [-] personal guards in the city, it will take a lot of time to gallop in the starry night."Chen Ping reminded them that these reinforcements can only be regarded as distant water, at least they cannot quench their current thirst.

Zhou Bo silently calculated the distance in his heart, and looked at the two of them for a long time: "The words of the military adviser are reasonable, but there is indeed too little time. It seems that we still have to face a tough battle until the reinforcements arrive."

"Since this is the case, father, I might as well gather the army immediately and go to build fortifications thirty miles away."Zhou Yafu felt the urgency of time and immediately proposed.

Zhou Bo didn't hesitate to look at Zhou Yafu and immediately ordered: "Assemble the army immediately, and the father and military adviser will arrive soon."

"promise".Zhou Yafu bowed to accept the order, then turned and walked outside.

Watching Zhou Yafu walk away, Zhou Bo immediately shouted to the outside: "Come here!"

"Subordinates are in".Hearing the shout, two soldiers walked in from outside the house.

Zhou Bo ordered again: "Immediately send a letter to Lan Zhengqing and order him to lead his troops back to aid."

"promise".Two soldiers took orders and walked outside the house.

Not long after the drums sounded, the phalanxes quickly assembled, and then a huge phalanx appeared.

Zhou Bo rode his horse and stood at the front.Seeing that the soldiers had assembled, he slapped the horse's back heavily, and roared away with fifty thousand soldiers and horses.
