Chapter 6 Shadow Warriors Wolf King's Strategy
"Is this the Shanyu royal court?"
Peng Yue sat on the horse, looked west from the high slope, and looked into the camp where the beads were completed in the distance, and said calmly.
Behind him were the three thousand ghost prisons under Ying Ziyi.
The continuous steep slope that rises in vain can conceal your own vision well. As a Xiongnu Chanyu with top military capabilities, Maodun did not consider the situation of the enemy's attack when he established the royal court here.
Therefore, he divided a large number of his cavalry troops into the east of the royal court as patrol troops.
However, as Maodun went south to recover the tribes of the Xiongnu people, a large number of elite troops in the royal court also went south.
The rest, under the assault of the Ghost Prison Cavalry, have now become corpses scattered in this slope.
"General Peng Yue, it seems that they have not found our traces yet." Sima, who was accompanying the army behind Peng Yue, said.
Peng Yue's eyes were filled with cold light. Although his face was rough, his behavior was extremely delicate.
The armor on the Ghost Prison Youqi is generally light armor, and the food and grass on the horses are also at a lower level.
In order to deal with the Huns, Ying Ziyi specially converted all his cavalry troops in the clouds into light cavalry. In addition to the horse bows, crossbows, arrows, and ring head swords necessary for marching and fighting, he only brought necessary medicines, salt and oil for raising bows and swords.
If such troops want to continue fighting on the grassland for a long time, they must rely on enemy supplies as supplements. Such combat methods are an extremely important test for the generals.
There are many famous generals in this world, some are good at attacking, and some are good at defending. Of course, there are also generals who are both offensive and defensive, but this is very rare. The generals often have different styles and different ways of fighting.
There are many famous generals active in this era, some of which are even rare and rare generals. Even in the long river of time, they are rare. However, there are differences between rare generals and rare generals.
For example, Li Mu, the former military god of Zhao, once defeated tens of thousands of Hu troops in Yanmen, and fought the Northern Hus not daring to go south to herd horses for more than ten years.
For example, Wang Jian, the battle between Qin and the six kingdoms was Wang Jian's first contribution. In ten years, he helped the Qin Emperor unify the world, and was unstoppable.
Such rare generals have one characteristic, that is, the more soldiers they have, the greater the power they will exert.
Of course, this does not mean that they are not good at commanding small-scale operations.
Infantry, cavalry, bows and chariots and multiple armies are mixed to fight, and large-scale battles with tens of thousands of people are not easily controlled by any general, let alone to attack cities and attack countries.
Peerless generals like Li Mu and Wang Jian can turn mountains, rivers and rivers into powerful weapons against the enemy in their hands. The enemy has often entered the net they have arranged, but still has no idea. When the enemy notices it, it is already the time for them to close the net.
Another type is like Huo Qubing, who only brought eight hundred cavalrymen, and went around the grassland, defeating countless enemies.
You should know that on the grassland, not only are the people on their own side moving, but the Hu people are also constantly moving. In this case, they can accurately capture fighter jets, find enemy troops, and annihilate them by roundabout way. Such a combat method alone is not something that ordinary generals can do.
And Peng Yue is such a general who is proficient in mobile warfare.
The Three Thousand Ghost Prison Cavalry was quietly waiting for Peng Yue's orders, and the war horses sniffed. As Peng Yue raised his hand, the knights pulled out the ring-headed sword hanging on the saddle.
The sharp blade flashed with cold light, and the clear and transparent back of the knife was as clean as snow. However, the blood stained in it, the murderous aura and power emitted by the evil spirits are enough to make those who have never been to the battlefield frightened and tremble.
Since the establishment of the Ghost Prison Youqi, Ying Ziyi has made countless achievements in the north and south. However, this achievements have been achieved through the blood and dry bones of countless aliens.
Soldiers who have been on the battlefield and have not been on the battlefield, and generals with a little experience can be distinguished from the appearance. Among them, veterans who have been through the battlefield are the existences and the foundation for relying on every general who is familiar with military affairs. Those veterans are often used as the finale reserves, which is the key to changing the situation on the battlefield. On the battlefield, they have developed the instinct of fighting and are proficient in combat methods. They can quickly understand the intention of their generals to set up formations and marches, and implement the plan to go to the top more effectively.
Every soldier of the Ghost Prison Gun can be said to be such a veteran. But there is a difference. This unit is a professional military force, completely out of production, and a complete killing machine.
Every soldier in the Ghost Prison Gun is a madman who enjoys marching and fighting. For them, normal life is too dull. Apart from following instinct reproduction, there is only killing on the battlefield for the rest of their lives.
He lives by killing, grows up in killing, and dies in killing.
It is often not obvious for a soldier to do this. But if the soldiers in a unit are like this, it would be quite terrible.
Among the Hu and Qiang tribes in the Western Regions, Ying Ziyi's unit was called an ominous soldier. These Hu and Qiang tribes often had not seen the ghost prison cavalry, but just heard their horns, they led their troops to evade and dared not confront each other head-on.
Peng Yue's arm was gently swung, and the three thousand ghost prison cavalry whistled, pulled up the reins and rushed forward.
This is a massacre.
The tide-like black cavalry rushed into the camp on the green grassland, waving the long sword of the ring head, and reaping lives one by one.
In the Shanyu royal court, there are few young men who can fight now, and the only ones that are left are the elderly, weak, women and children.
Peng Yue rushed into the Shanyu court with his army. However, the ghost prison cavalry interspersed back and forth from east to west, but he did not encounter decent resistance. "General, is the resistance of the Shanyu royal court too weak?" Sima of the Suijun asked in confusion.
"From the intelligence, the troops of the Xiongnu Shanyu should not be so vulnerable. Could it be that Maodun is not in the Shanyu court?" Peng Yue murmured.
Suijun Sima's eyes lit up, "That's right, it should be that."
"Catch a living person and ask."
"Yes, general." Sima of the army clamped his legs and rushed out with two soldiers.
………
North of the Yellow River.
The Huns gathered on the highland grassland south of Yangshan and between the north and south rivers.
There are many rivers here, which were originally the livestock land of the Huyan clan among the three Huns. However, at this moment, the Huns lost all their territory in Henan, and the troops of the Huns were concentrated on this narrow highland, surviving.
The Qin army's offensive was aggressive, and the Huns were unwilling to fail. The leaders of each army gathered together every day and were discussing countermeasures.
"Meng Tian has not yet established a firm foothold, we should fight back as soon as possible."
In the warm tent, headed by the leaders of the three tribes of the Xiongnu tribes, the leaders of many small tribes gathered together to form a noble council, which determined the affairs of all and large within the Huns. The leader of the Lan tribe, an old man with white hair and beard and dressed in luxurious leather clothes, said.
As the old shaman of the Huns said, these nobles were addicted to the exquisite silk, bronze ware and beards of the empire and were deeply degenerated.
However, the increasingly swollen body shape did not hinder their military vision. They could see that the empire had not yet established a stable foothold and should go south as soon as possible to recover lost territory.
Autumn and winter are the seasons when the Huns have the weakest combat power, but the empire's army is different. After years of preparation, the combat power is sharp.
However, winter is approaching now, and the cold weather is the biggest enemy of the Qin army.
With a long sound, an alarm sounded outside the tent. A Hun soldier rushed into the tent and reported: "All nobles, our patrol warriors found that the small group of Qin's cavalry crossed the river and appeared in the young wolf stock."
"These Qin people are too bullying! Duoyan Boba!" The leader of Huyan's clan summoned his most brave son from the crowd and ordered: "Go and bring back the heads of these Qin soldiers in our tribe."
A strong muscular man walked out of the crowd, and Duoyan Boba said, "Father, the terrain near Shaolang Valley is complicated, and the Qin army only has a few teams of people. How dare you come? This is very tempting the enemy!"
The leader of Huyan's family had a bad look. His son disobeyed him in front of a crowd, which made him feel very embarrassed. This son was born to him after drinking and a humble slave. The leader of Huyan's family had never liked him very much.
However, because of Duoyan Boba's use of martial arts, the leader of Huyan's clan brought him by his side.
The leader of Huyan's clan was about to get angry, but he heard another long sound outside the tent, and another Hun soldier hurried in.
"Dear nobles, the Qin army has been repelled."
"What's going on?" someone asked.
"It was Shanyu, who led his troops to defeat the Qin army's vassal army in Shaolang Valley from the east, and killed the Qin army's cavalry."
The news came, and it had already confirmed Duoyan Boba's worries. However, at this moment, the Huyan leader's face looked even worse.
Maodun, what are you doing here at this time?
"Why don't you retreat quickly, it's embarrassing." The leader of Huyan's family had no choice but to emit anger in his heart.
Duoyanboba's face was stunned and he retreated.
In any case, Maodun was the Chanyu of the Xiongnu. They still need to give necessary respect.
The leaders of the three surnames of the Xiongnu led their troops from all over the world and made a ceremony to prepare for the welcome.
Soon, a large group of people appeared in everyone's sight.
A young king, surrounded by his heroic soldiers, walked to the front of the Xiongnu tribe leaders.
Unlike the morale of his own soldiers, his vitality is the most intuitive feeling of the leaders of the three Huns when they saw Maodun and his soldiers.
"The Qin army is rampant, and our Great Huns are in a dilemma. We are about to invite Shanyu to discuss the major matter of retreating to the enemy."
The leader of the Lan family said.
Of course, this is just a scene. If Maodun hadn't come uninvited, they wouldn't have thought of this distant Chanyu.
"I happened to have a plan, and I want to plan with you." Maodun smiled and walked into the tent with his soldiers.
In the camp, Maodun was in the main position, and the leaders of the three surnames sat on both sides, while the other nobles stood or sat, filling the narrow space.
"Chhanyu, we are just discussing, gathering troops and taking back our land while the Qin army has not yet established a foothold. I wonder what the strategy the Shanyu just said is?" said the leader of the Huyan clan.
"Retreat! All the Hun troops withdraw from this land."
As soon as Maodun's voice fell, a burst of yelling talk sounded in the tent.
The three leaders of the Huns smiled even more.
This young Shanyu seemed to have only courage and did not know anything above the marching. He actually wanted to withdraw his troops timidly?
"Shanyu, Meng Tian is now setting up defenses along the river, establishing camps, and setting up defense lines. But this takes a lot of time. If we don't take this gap to attack back, we will have no chance in the future." The leader of the Bu family said, his tone as if a teacher was educating students.
"No, this is just an illusion!" Maodun said firmly.
"What?"
"The Qin army is not preparing for the defense line along the river at this moment, but preparing to cross the river to fight in the spring of the coming year."
"Why did Shanyu say that?" Hu Yan asked.
"Meng Tian is one of the few famous generals in Qin State. At this moment, the Qin army is full of morale. How could he stop south of the river and give up this highland with important military significance?"
"But in this way, it is impossible to conclude that Meng Tian is using fraud?" Hu Yan asked again.
"What is the most annoying thing about the Qin people?"
"Of course it's the Great Wall! These southerners are huddled behind the city wall. Once our troops are approaching, they will know about a hundred miles. Even if we destroy the defenders on the Great Wall, they can quickly mobilize their troops."
"That's right, there are many infantry and chariots in the Qin army. These troops are not mobile, and I can't travel thousands of miles like our Great Huns, coming and going like the wind. That's why they built the Great Wall. If the Qin army does not attack, can the Great Wall be built along the river?" Maodun asked back, and most of the people present were in silence.
"But in this way, my Great Huns don't have to retreat. Are our Huns' warriors still afraid of those Qin people?" said the leader of the Lan family.
"No, if we stay here, we will definitely fail. Our battle in Henan has lost a large number of warriors. If we counterattack, we will draw troops from the north of the Great Wall, which will take a lot of time. By that time, Meng Tian's Qin army had already attacked. Instead of doing this, we might as well withdraw to the south of the desert as soon as possible."
"But this is not the way Qin army wants?" someone asked back.
"Our active retreat can retain a lot of strength. The Qin army wants to build the Great Wall, and then we can take the opportunity to go south and block them. What's more, the Qin army's really weak spot is not here."
"Where is the weak Qin army?"
