The heavens start from saving Daming

Soldiers and horses marching in the field, many affairs are extremely complicated.

When setting up a camp, it is not simply to set up a stockade.

First of all, you have to cut down wood as raw materials for camping, and then spend a lot of time building the stockade.

After that, defensive facilities such as horse refusal, flags, barbed wire, traps, etc. must be arranged around the stockade.

In addition, the equipment accompanying the army needs to be maintained, usually by the sergeants themselves. If it cannot be solved, it is necessary to find the artisans accompanying the army to repair it.

The food and grass brought in must be properly secured, and it must not be caught in the fire by moisture, and the security must be separated to prevent it from being burned up when someone raids the camp.

Consumables such as medicinal materials should be specially stored, and professional people must do it.

The livestock must be fed and watered, and must be looked after by the veterinarians accompanying the army, so they must not get sick.

In addition, there are many complicated affairs to be arranged, handled, and resolved.

As the commander-in-chief, it's not just about being able to fight.

If these seemingly ordinary little things are not handled properly, there will be a big mess at some point.

Li Yunze was very familiar with these matters, and after the meal, he took Wei Qing through the process step by step and told him sentence by sentence.

"When pulling out the camp, take everything you can take away. If you can't take it away, you can leave the stockade if the rear is stable."

Looking at the lush forests on Luliang Mountain, Li Yunze sighed softly, "If it doesn't work, then it can only be destroyed."

The impact of war on nature is enormous.

Usually, after several months of tug-of-war, the local ecological environment will directly suffer a devastating blow.

Large tracts of forest were cut down, not only for building camps, but also for burning as fuel.

Animals are hunted and eaten, herbs are treated as fodder, water sources are polluted, local people are harassed, and so on.

Wei Qing tried his best to write down every word Li Yunze said, and even went to do everything in person.

After dinner, when he returned to the tent, he would light the oil lamp and write down what Li Yunze said and what he personally experienced.

Because of his previous meritorious service in the Tingwei prison, Wei Qing was promoted from a cavalry soldier to a captain, and came to Li Yunze's side as a personal guard.

But even if it is very long, it is impossible to have its own separate tent and the right to light oil lamps at night. This is purely from Li Yunze's care.

It is indeed care.

After all, swords and guns have no eyes on the battlefield, and it doesn't matter what historical celebrity you are.

When a wave of arrows rained over and a bunch of long spears stabbed over, there was no way to hide.

When the enemy cavalry rushed over, their horses hit their bodies directly, not to mention wearing steel armor, even wearing diamond armor was useless, the huge impact force was enough to shock people to death.

Countless people died in despair on the battlefield. Li Yunze did not believe that Wei Qing would be protected by a halo, and that he would be safe and sound in the battle of thousands of troops as a low-level sergeant.

So I mentioned it to my side, this is the safest place.

If this is not considered care, then there is no such thing as care.

The soldiers and horses marched northward, and the journey was fairly stable.

The Xiongnu's invasion this time did catch the Han army by surprise, but as time went by, the Han army in various parts of the Northland gradually came to their senses. He fought a bloody battle with the Huns who entered the hometown, successfully blocked the
Blocked the range of activities of the Huns.

At this time, the main force of the military minister Shanyu's royal court was confined to the vicinity of Taiyuan County, relying on a not-so-safe road to connect with Dingxiang Yunzhong in the north.

The military minister Shan Yu is not stupid, he is naturally aware of the dangers facing the road ahead.

He left a large group of troops in Dingxiang and Yunzhong, especially near the key Mayi County, he even stationed a Qiulin tribe with six or seven thousand horses.

When King Wuling of Zhao opened up the Northwest, it was called Shuo County.

After Meng Tian defeated the Huns, he built an earthen city here to raise horses, hence the name Mayi.

Hundreds of years later, it was called Shuozhou.

And Shuozhou also has a name called Datong.

The big family members of the Qiulin Tribe are living a happy life recently.

Mayi is a rich place, and many caravans doing business with the Huns gathered here for transactions.

When the Huns suddenly broke through and came here, a large amount of supplies were seized and became the trophies of the Huns.

Although the big head was taken away by Da Shanyu, the Qiulin tribe stationed here can gather a lot of good things by hunting grass and valleys.

In the past, silk, tea, various works of art and other materials that were popular on the grassland were filled with tents of big households.

When he thought that this kind of good life would continue, a sentry came to report that a large group of Han troops had appeared near Mayi County.

"If there are Han troops, just drive them away."

Holding the golden cup in his hand, the big householder lay on the bed covered with silk and ordered leisurely, "You want to bother me with such trivial matters?"

Although the Han troops in various parts of Dingxiang in Yunzhong were beaten and disabled, they were not the only ones in the Great Wall Legion of the Great Han.

There are still many Han troops entrenched in the various cities and villages, not to mention the reinforcements sent by nearby counties.

It was just because of the lack of a commander. After all, most of the captains followed Li Yunze to Chang'an City, and after Cheng Bushi left, the imperial court never sent a new sheriff.

The attack by a small force did not pose too much threat to the Qiulin tribe.

"Big boss!"

The sentry shouted eagerly, "This time it's different! There are a lot of Han Chinese here, and they're all wearing iron armor!"

"how is this possible."

The impatient big household finally put down the golden cup and stood up, "The Han people are richer, but where can there be soldiers and horses all in iron armor? You think the iron armor is cow and sheep dung on the grassland. Is it everywhere?"

When Da Danghu got on his horse and left the camp and came outside, what he saw was a torrent of shining metal, rushing towards him mightily.

"how is this possible?!"

The Qiulin tribe was the same as other Hun tribes. All their belongings, old and weak women and children were concentrated in the old camp.

When Li Yunze's soldiers and horses suddenly rushed out of Luliang Mountain and appeared only tens of miles away from the old camp of the Qiulin Tribe, the outcome of this battle was already doomed.

The Qiulin tribe can't run away. If they run away, the old camp will fall into the hands of the Han army. Their parents, wives and children's property are all here.

As a result of fighting hard, he was naturally unable to break through the iron armor formation of the Han army, and was held back by the soldiers of the Han army.

"This is the biggest weakness of the Huns."

Li Yunze, who was on horseback, told Wei Qing beside him, "They can't abandon the old camp royal court, and the old camp royal court is their weakness. When they get to the prairie, just watch the old camp royal court and fight, and they don't have to worry about the Huns not showing up."

Wei Qing saluted respectfully, "Thank you for your instruction, Your Majesty."

"Go."

The horsewhip in his hand pointed to the battlefield several miles ahead, "Cavalry attack, end this battle."

Thousands of cavalry from the Zhongshan Kingdom, including Li Yunze's personal guards, and thousands of elite cavalry selected from the Northern Army, launched an impact amidst the sound of drums and horns like a mighty torrent.

The Huns, mainly light cavalry, put up a desperate resistance.

As for the result, the resistance was naturally destroyed like snow in the spring, and then the old camp also fell into the hands of the Han army.

Simple repairs, contact the nearby Han army to recover all parts of Mayi, and take care of the captured materials.

Li Yunze quickly headed south with his troops, heading straight for Xiurong County.

Xiurong County was named Xinzhou in later generations.

In the south of Xiurong County, on the border with Taiyuan County, there is a narrow pass called Shiling Pass, which is adjacent to Xiaowutai Mountain in the east and Guanmao Mountain in the west.

The mountains here are steep and the passes are majestic.

It is the traffic hub from Taiyuan to Dai, Yun, Ning, Shuo and other places. It is known as the gateway and throat of Xinding in Taiyuan.

The final destination of Li Yunze's detour was this narrow pass.

To win here is to directly cut off the only passage for the Huns in the hinterland of Taiyuan County to escape to the north.

Hearing the news that Mayi had fallen and the Han army had arrived at Shiling Pass, Shan Yu, the military official who felt that everything was under control, stood up from the couch in shock.

He is too aware of the importance of this place, this is the only way to go north and return to the prairie!

"Hu Yan and Lin."

Shan Yu, the military official, immediately summoned the Marquis of Zuogu, the capital of his royal court, "Lead your troops to Shiling Pass immediately, and guard this pass!"

Hu Yan and Lin didn't talk nonsense, and immediately took orders to leave.

"Send the order to Yu Shan, stop attacking Jinyang, gather troops and horses and come back."

Yu Dan, who got the news, galloped to the royal court and looked for his father, "Da Da, seeing that Jinyang can be taken in a few more days, why don't you fight?"

The military official with a gloomy face shook his head, "A Han army came out from nowhere. It first attacked Mayi and then captured Xiurong. Now it has arrived at Shiling Pass."

"Sigh~~~"

Yu Dan, who was still somewhat dissatisfied at first, immediately changed his expression drastically.

He came from this road, so he naturally knew how important Shiling Pass was.

It can be said that if thousands of troops are deployed to garrison, tens of thousands of troops will not be able to defeat them!
"What are Qiulin, Lang, and Lan doing?" Yu Dan vented his anger, "There are so many people, why can't they defend?"

"It's useless to say that now."

Shan Yu, the military official with a dark face, immediately ordered Yu Shan, "Quickly bring back the troops who besieged Jinyang City, as well as those who were entangled with the main force of the Han army in the south. Set off one by one and return to the north!"

Feeling unwilling, Yu Dan asked, "Just leave like this?"

"How can I not leave?!"

The military minister Shan Yu was also angry, "If the back road is cut off, we will be trapped in this square inch of Taiyuan County. Hundreds of thousands of Han troops are constantly squeezing around, and the cavalry can't use it. If we don't leave, we can't leave! "

Yu Dan had never seen Da Da vent his temper on him so much, and he was so excited that he hurriedly responded to the call and went out to arrange for the retreat.

"Greedy, too greedy."

Shan Yu, the military official in the king's tent, was full of regret at this moment, "I shouldn't have gone deep into this place, this is simply a desperate situation! Why am I so stupid."

Shan Yu, a military official whose heart was anxious like a fire, stepped outside the king's tent, looked at the north and muttered to himself, "We must guard it."
