I’m The King Chapter 1026: :East becomes west (19)
Listening to Li Xin's words, even though she had absolute confidence in Li Xin, Yu still smiled wryly and said: "General, this prairie is so big, and He Lanxiong is a native here, from the information we got Come up, this guy is simply an escape expert. He was so weak back then, he just led his tribe to hide in Tibet, and survived tenaciously. We are mainly infantry, and we want to catch this guy who is a cavalry. I'm afraid it's too difficult."
Li Xin laughed, "We can't find him, but we can let him come to us!"
"Looking for us?" But Yu widened his eyes, "He would be so stupid, how could he bump into our main force?"
Li Xin smiled and said to Dan Yu: "What have we been doing all this time?"
"We are mopping up the Xiongnu tribe on this grassland, firstly to raise food, meat, and secondly to avoid future troubles!" Dan Yu said.
"You show the positions of these tribes we swept away!" Li Xin said to Dan Yu.
Dan Yu reached out his hand and took out pebbles from the ditch, and placed them on the corresponding positions one by one. Soon, a large arc-shaped circle appeared in front of Dan Yu.
"See what's coming?" Li Xin looked up at Dan Yu.
But Yu stared at these pebbles, raised his head suddenly after a while: "General, this is a trap, a trap aimed at He Lanxiong."
"That's right!" Li Xin sat down on the grass and brushed the pebbles on the ground with his hand: "Wang Xiao did not take Shannan County City as scheduled, which gave He Lanxiong a chance to withdraw his troops. Now his pawns are us I can't catch him anymore, but He Lanxiong led the cavalry to stay on the grassland, watching us like a wild wolf. If I can't catch him, how can I feel at ease? But we still need logistical support, we can’t be hanged on a tree, if we don’t catch He Lanxiong, how will our food road be safe?”
"So you set up this trap?" But Yu said in admiration. "I thought that the actions of these troops before were all to raise food and grass to supplement meat for the brothers!"
"He Lanxiong, a savage who has fought wars since he was a child, is very experienced and has few flaws to find when using soldiers. If you want to lure him into a trap, the first step is to make him lose his cool head." Li Dao said: "What can make him lose his cool head is to massacre the Huns, because the Huns suffered heavy losses in our hands and almost wiped out their entire family. With Gao Yuan's support these years, they have regained some vitality, and He Lanxiong is now It is also regarded as a banner by all the Huns. Otherwise, do you think I am such a bloodthirsty person? It is not my style, Li Xin, to leave no dog behind." Li Xin sighed.
"The left and right are just some savages, if you kill them, you will kill them!" But Yu said disapprovingly.
Li Xin snorted, "I used to think so too, but from Gao Yuan, I saw another way, be it the Huns or Donghu people, now they have become Gao Yuan's powerful arm, the Han Kingdom What is the reason why the cavalry is so strong? It is because Gao Yuan tamed these barbarians. Why can’t we do what he can do? At that time, my Daqin family was the only one, and I believe that the insightful people among the Huns will know who to draw closer to."
"But now we have killed such a Hun again?" But Yu hesitated and said: "This enmity is already deep enough."
"As long as the interests are sufficient, they can come here. In this world, separation and reunion, don't they all rise and fall because of profit!" Li Xin said indifferently.
"We wiped out more than a dozen small tribes of the Huns after such a Huns died. I believe He Lanxiong must be extremely angry now, and according to the news he heard, each of our scattered troops only has about 3,000 people , far inferior to his troops, he must think that he can swallow our soldiers and horses in a very short period of time and then run away with ease!" Li Xin continued: "But he will find that things will not go so smoothly Yes, I have been staring at him with wide eyes! No matter which point he chooses to attack, the remaining points will go up from all around in a very short time, lock him, entangle him, and then our big The troops will be able to rush over."
"The general is exhaustive!" But Yu admired and said: "This circle, to be honest, if you hadn't pointed it out, I really don't see any connection!"
"I hope He Lanxiong can't see it!" Li Xin laughed, "We wiped out He Lanxiong's more than 10,000 cavalry in one fell swoop, and we can really rest easy on the grassland!"
"Will Gao Yuan send a large number of reinforcements?"
"Gao Yuan has a large army in Qi State, and now it is difficult to escape. Chu people will entangle him, and Lu Chao and Meng Tian will launch an attack from the beam of Wei State. Their way will be directed at the Han State. Xinxin, Gao Yuan's main force can only move in this direction, so even if he can send an army over, the number will never be too many, it is impossible to hinder the overall situation, the key is to destroy He Lanxiong's army."
"I understand!" But Yu nodded and said, "It's no wonder that these troops are all equipped with 1,000 cavalry and 2,000 infantry. Back then, I wondered why they didn't send all the cavalry since it was a sweep."
"If we send all the cavalry, how can we hold He Lanxiong back? The cavalry battle can end in a flash! Our cavalry is no match for them, not to mention there is still a huge gap in numbers." Li Xin laughed loudly, "Infantry versus cavalry, it seems that the infantry is weak, but the infantry that has been prepared for a long time uses some equipment to set up a formation, and the cavalry wants to swallow them in a short time, but it is not that simple. , and what I need is time?"
Yan Wei rode on the horse and walked forward slowly. He just wiped out a tribe of Huns. He didn't even know the name of this tribe of Huns. Anyway, the general's order was to kill, burn, and rob. He conscientiously carried out the general's order, even when the knife in his hand hacked to death a minor child, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he told himself that if these barbarians were not killed, they would surely die in the future. Become the enemy of Daqin.
Looking at the slowly advancing team, he felt a little worried. The team was moving too slowly. There were 3,000 people in the team, but at this moment they were escorting nearly two hundred or two carts. He snatched these cars supplies, food, and a lot of gold and silver, when did these Huns become so rich.
Did the general know that these Huns are so rich? Otherwise, why did he let himself bring so many carts when he set off? If he didn't bring these carts, it would be really difficult Dragging down so many things.
But the team is too slow and too chaotic. Thousands of cattle and sheep are mixed in the team, making the whole team sparse.
Yan Wei touched a secret letter sealed with wax in his arms. It was given to him by General Li before he left. General Li told him that if there is an emergency or after seeing the smoke General Li made the military operation so mysterious this time, which surprised Yan Weiwei. He has always been under General Li's command, and the orders given by the general have always been the clearest. Never before have they been so ambiguous as this time , making people wonder.
Emergency? What kind of emergency can there be now? The only thing that can threaten the Qin army is He Lanxiong's cavalry unit wandering above the grassland, but since they entered the grassland, they have not been found yet This mysterious cavalry unit.
Can't I be targeted by the opponent by such a coincidence? Yan Wei thought silently in his heart, if he was really targeted by this cavalry, he would be in danger. Looking at the chaotic troops, Yan Wei silently Pray to God, don't let yourself be so unlucky.
However, his prayer obviously had no effect. Before he finished speaking, the ground began to tremble slightly. For the experienced Yan Wei, of course he knew what this meant, and his face suddenly turned pale. In a blink of an eye, he Saw a thick black line on the horizon.
The warning horn sounded in the army, and all the soldiers turned their heads to look in the direction where the black line appeared. Yan Wei immediately took out the letter in his arms, isn't it the time for an emergency? ?
The content of the letter is very short. "If you encounter an enemy cavalry attack, immediately form an array with a cart, defend on the spot, and light up three piles of smoke at the same time. Even if you fight to the last person, you must not take a step back! If you are not attacked , When you see three piles of wolf smoke igniting, immediately abandon all your belongings and advance towards the direction of the burning wolf smoke as quickly as possible, dragging down the enemy cavalry, even if the entire army is destroyed."
Yan Wei raised his head eagerly, now he understands General Li's plan.
"Use chariots as a city, form an array!" he roared loudly. "Kill all the livestock and use meat as a wall. Cavalry enter the chariot array, dismount, form archers, spearmen step forward, sword and shield soldiers Then, stick to the spot, and those who retreat will be cut!"
When the Qin army heard the order, it fell silent in an instant. The knives and guns came down, and the animals fell to the ground wailing. With the sound of rattling, carts were pushed together. The gold and silver were thrown to the ground like rubbish, and the slaughtered livestock were piled on the cart. Under the cart, blood flowed all over the grassland in an instant.
Amid the stern shouts, the spearman stepped forward and set his spears on the chariot city. More than a thousand cavalrymen took up their bows and arrows, nocked their arrows, and the arrows were hanging down, staring at the cavalrymen who were approaching fast. For the tens of thousands of cavalrymen who attacked, the thousand-odd cavalrymen of their own were placed outside. The rhythm of death, Yan Wei would rather use them as infantry.
Seeing that his soldiers reacted quickly, facing such a powerful enemy, they did not show any panic or fear except at the beginning, Yan Wei nodded in satisfaction, Qin Jun will always be the most powerful in this world The army, there is no one.
He knows that he may not survive today, but no matter what, he must follow the general's deployment and try to delay the enemy as long as possible.
"Light up the smoke and prepare to fight!" He ordered in a deep voice. (To be continued)
