119 Unstoppable 3
Chapter 119: Unstoppable 3
Outside Xiba Pass! Xu Xi thought of Meng Tian and sighed. Whether Meng Tian can succeed will determine the direction of the entire war.
Both news were very interesting. Xu Xi couldn't figure out why only 6,000 Huns entered the pass? One said more, not more, not less, not less, not less.
Judging from his way of dividing troops to advance, it was obvious that he was trying to hide his whereabouts all the way to reach a certain destination and attack him again. It is easy to imagine how difficult it is for the six thousand cavalry to break through Zhenbei City, unless Cao Shaoqing is the insider.
Judging from the confession, the goal of the Huns was not to seize Zhenbei City, but to say that once they succeeded, they would have the opportunity to counterattack the grassland. This matter sounded strange. Anyway, Xu Xi did not believe that relying solely on the strength of the Huns, he could return to the grassland without making big mistakes in the Forbidden Dynasty.
However, the Huns mobilized 70% of their troops to act, which made Xu Xi feel moved. If they could attack at this time and cross the desert to attack the Huns' nests, they would probably achieve brilliant results.
When he left the pass and attacked the Huns' nest? Xu Xi shook his head. This was not like his mission. Instead, it felt that it was the key to his completion of the mission.
While thinking hard, the little eunuch Komoriko also ran over like a ecstatic face, saying, "Sir, the captives have been recruited, it is a treasure! The purpose of the Huns is a treasure!"
Xu Xiteng stood up straight and blurted out: "Treasure?"
"Yes, one of the prisoners was a relatively high-ranking Xiongnu. He couldn't bear it, so he admitted that their purpose was to treasure. As long as the treasure was raised, he could get help. He sacrificed to the heaven to pray to the gods of the King of Shanyu to surrender again. As long as their great King of Shanyu came back, he could lead them to regain the grassland!" Komoriko was so excited that her face was covered in blood.
"Treasure, help, come..." Xu Xi repeated it slowly several times, his eyes shining brightly: "Send the order and don't capture prisoners. The entire army will be launched in half an hour."
Shortly after Xiaomoriko went down, she ran up and shouted, "Sir, General, Xibaguan... Meng Tian sent someone to send news, and he had already conquered Xibaguan without any blood! There were a large number of Xiongnu cavalry outside the pass."
"Okay!" Xu Xi and Zhu Shu laughed loudly, and the laughter was heard far away, which boosted morale: "Now, you're closing the door and beating the dog. Even if they dig a treasure, they can't escape!"
"Xiao Senzi, come here and send me a letter to General Meng Wu!" Xu Xi thought about it and called Xiao Senzi, took out Yang Yuxuan's military talisman of the Great General of the North Town, wrote a letter quickly, then stamped it with a large seal, sealed it with fire paint, and handed it to Xiao Senzi: "Tell General Meng that soldiers are very fast, and you must eradicate the roots!"
Since his key task was to solve the treasure, the task of crossing the desert to rush to the Huns' nests for a long distance was naturally handed over to Meng Wu.
In fact, Xu Xi thought Gao Xianzhi was more suitable. Gao Xianzhi was very good at long-distance raids in history, and he was extremely cruel and would never show mercy to the Huns. However, Gao Xianzhi's defense area was still a bit far away.
Then he wrote a letter in his own name and handed it to the Jinyiwei, and ordered the Jinyiwei to rush to Beisucheng as quickly as possible and handed it to Yuan Chonghuan.
In a short period of time, Xu Xi, who understood the development of the situation, quickly formulated a large-scale and magnificent combat plan.
Whether it can be implemented depends on whether Yuan Chonghuan and Meng Wu have implemented it!
Xu Xi's combat plan is very bold, just like his courage in the capital market.
In the letter sent to Meng Wu, Xu Xi covered the commander commander Dagu, the seal of the general of Zhenbei, the seal of the Jinyiwei and the seal of the East Factory, and the seal of the East Factory, and the likes of Xiaomoriko and others rushed there, so they should be able to win the trust of Meng Wu.
If it were a non-mission war state, Xu Xi would probably choose to rush to the Huns' nest for thousands of miles. However, the Huns' big fanfare this time, actually the troops sent to participate in the war were not too large. Meng Wu only controlled more than 50,000 troops, so he might not have the courage to kill the Huns' nest.
Therefore, Xu Xi only mentioned the current situation in the letter, hoping that Meng Wu would lead his army out of the pass and eat the Huns army outside the Xiba Pass. Then he rushed to the Beisu area through the desert, cooperated with Yuan Chonghuan's army to surround the Xiongnu army's retreat and annihilate the living forces of the Huns.
The main thing about this combat plan is that Meng Wu must lead a fierce cavalry to travel thousands of miles across the desert and launch an attack from behind the Huns' army. At the same time, he must risk being stabbed by the Huns' army. As long as there is a mistake, the entire army will be wiped out at any time.
But once successful, it is expected that at least most of the approximately 30,000 cavalry gathered in the inner and outer gates of the Huns will be forced to stay.
In Xu Xi's letter to Yuan Chonghuan, he also mentioned this combat plan, so that he must prepare to go out of seclusion and fight when necessary and when feasible.
If it were Gao Xianzhi, Xu Xi would never doubt this famous general who is best at long-distance raids. In terms of long-distance raids, he would definitely be able to complete a classic encirclement battle. However, Meng Wu and Xu Xi would not know.
Huo Qubing and Chen Qingzhi both have the title of the first cavalry general in the East Tu. Their achievements are shocking from history and from the game. However, this does not mean that no one in the East Tu is good at cavalry combat. At least Yuan Chonghuan is good at defending and is also good at cavalry. Guanning Iron Cavalry is also a symbol of strong combat power.
Anyway, Xu Xi has done everything he can do, and if things can be accomplished, it would be great. If they cannot, they would probably not blame him.
But if you think about it carefully, it would be a bit regretful. This time it was definitely an excellent opportunity to wipe out the Huns. If he had led the invincible Shenzhou Army at that time, the army would have gone out of the pass to find the enemy and fought to the decisive battle.
Xu Xi realized his thoughts and couldn't help laughing. The situation of the Shenzhou Army is incomparable to that of the Zhenbei Army. The Zhenbei Army has 300,000 troops fighting, but its main purpose is to defend, and the cavalry only accounts for a certain proportion.
The Shenzhou Army is a complete group of 70,000 cavalry, and has no defensive responsibility, so of course it cannot be compared with the Zhenbei Army.
Waiting hard is what Xu Xi led the army to do.
Every day, a large number of Liuyun Cavalry were sent to reconnaissance, and while moving closer to the other three Hun cavalry, they kept a certain distance from them and tried to avoid being discovered by the other party.
Treasure is a very interesting word. Anyway, Xu Xi has obtained Liancheng's treasure, but in the end he has to dedicate it to the emperor. The benefit of dedicating it to the emperor is that he received special treatment and favor from Ye Gucheng. Having a good relationship with NPC is the primary secret to taking on tasks, and Xu Xi is undoubtedly quite beautiful.
Regarding the treasure, Xu Xi and Zhu Shu should have concluded that it is gold, silver, jewelry and other things. As for the people mentioned by the prisoners, Xu Xi believes that it should refer to the Beidian Continent.
The treasure is exciting, but Xu Xi doesn't care. He is more concerned about what the prisoner mentioned is the meaning of the sacrifice and prayer "the great King Shanyu surrenders to the world".
Even myths like "A Chinese Odyssey" have been reduced by the game planners and have been changed to masters from the martial arts world. It can be seen that there must be no real myths in the game. Even if there is a Taoist system that can collect souls and help reincarnate ghosts, Xu Xi still doesn't believe in the lies of King Shanyu surrendering to the world.
If the system is mysterious, there must be other explanations.
The news about Xiao Senzi was not coming. Seeing that the Huns' cavalry gradually approached Zhenbeicheng, Xu Xi could not help but become a little irritable even though he was patient.
Once you miss this opportunity, it will not be easy to destroy such a large number of Hun cavalry in the future.
If the Huns were unable to meet with the fourth cavalry for a long time, they would sooner or later notice it. Xu Xi suddenly felt a headache. If he wanted to annihilate the Huns' iron cavalry that had penetrated deep into the pass, with the current 4,000 cavalry, he was far from an opponent.
But he had ordered the defenders of Zhenbeicheng to defend the enemy to the death no matter what, and never go to war.
The only thing that can be counted on is Yuan Chonghuan or Mengwu's army to support it, otherwise it will be difficult to annihilate it.
However, if Meng Wu decided to send troops to encircle the Huns' army outside the pass, there would inevitably be no extra force to be transferred to support. Even if there is, it is still unknown whether it will be transferred.
Xu Xi is depressed!
The Huns went deep into the pass and sent a large number of scouts to reconnaissance, which made the news brought by Xu Xi's scouts increasingly blurred. The recent news is that the Huns were already attacking Zhenbei City, but the offensive was not fierce. The raid failed, and they were stationed outside Zhenbei and stared at them.
Judging from the detailed military map, there is no particularly suitable place for ambush in the Zhenbei area. Xu Xi focused his mind and thought about it. He didn't know what the situation was in the Beisu area. However, only 6,000 Xiongnu cavalry entered the pass, and it didn't look like they could conquer Zhenbei City.
Or... the treasure is not in Zhenbei City? Xu Xi's heart moved, his fingertips moved quickly on the map, searching around Zhenbei City. Before Zhenbei City, there were also passes and acropolis.
Is it a point to attack Zhenbeicheng? In fact, the treasure that the Huns wanted to acquire might be near Zhenbei, not in the city.
Xu Xi's eyes lit up and calculated for a while. If the treasure was in the city, Cao Shaoqing's internal response should be able to cause the Huns to launch at least one wave of raids outside the night. Even if they could not conquer Zhenbei City, there would be such a raid.
However, if the treasure is not in Zhenbei City, the Huns' attack is to attract the focus. Even if they have the opportunity to conquer Zhenbei City, they will definitely not do that. The reason is very simple. Once the city is conquered, the Zhenbei army will inevitably collapse. After the collapse, they will likely discover the true purpose of the Huns.
Therefore, whether the treasure is in Zhenbei City, what is the purpose of the Huns? It will be clear at dawn tomorrow.
"It's dawn..." Xu Xi frowned. He had no time to wait any longer. He had to figure out the purpose of the Huns.
Zhenbei City is a royal city. When attacked here, even if there is no military talisman to mobilize other troops, the commander of the other commanders will send troops to aid. In other words, from the spread of news to the fastest rescue, it should be at least two to three days.
In other words, as long as the Huns were not too stupid, they should dig out the treasure as quickly as possible. It is estimated that it should take two to three days.
The news from Meng Tian was that about 5 to 8,000 Xiba Pass was gathered outside Xiba Pass, which should be a response. Therefore, the route for the Xiba Pass to retreat should be Xiba Pass. Of course, it may also be other passes. However, without any clues to remind him, Xu Xi could not imagine the possibility outside Xiba Pass.
Retreat from Xiba Pass, Meng Tian will be attacked by internal and external...
Xu Xi focused his mind and thought that it should be a good decision to ambush and attack the Huns on the retreat path. However, he also knew that the chance of winning was not high for ambushing 5,000 cavalry with four thousand cavalry, and the best result was to defeat.
Even if it was just a defeat, it would be better than doing nothing. Xu Xi pondered for a moment and made a decision resolutely. Once the purpose of the Huns was confirmed, he would ambush the other party on the path near Xibaguan.
As the sky gradually darkened, Xu Xi summoned the deputy generals and Qianhumen and explained some things to them. When he felt that there was no omission, Xu Xi and Zhushu boarded the road.
It was difficult for the scouts to explore the movements of the Xiongnu people in the Qing Dynasty. Xu Xi and Zhu Shu had to come in person to figure out what the treasure was.
Chapter completed!
