Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 275, The Calm Before the Storm
Ziyou and Wang Jian looked over, and Wei Liao put down the military report in his hand.

"The news from Luo Wang is that Li Mu mobilized [-] Wuling cavalry to leave Yanmen Pass three days ago, and their whereabouts are unknown," Wei Liao said.

"It seems that Li Mu can't sit still anymore. In this way, our pressure will be much less. As long as Li Mu's movements are noticed by the Huns, it will be our chance." Ziyou said with a smile.

Li Mu took the Wuling iron cavalry to leave Yanmen Pass, what else could he do except go north to the Huns?You're not going to fight Yan, are you?Although it is said that Li Mu is also professional in fighting the country of Yan in addition to fighting the Xiongnu, but facing the situation of the Huns going south, even if Li Mu wants to fight the country of Yan, his Wuling cavalry will not allow it.

The main target of the Wuling Iron Cavalry since its birth was the Huns in the north. For Zhao, the Huns did more harm than the Six Kingdoms.

"I'm afraid that Li Mu moved too fast, and the Xiongnu withdrew before we could close our pockets," Wei Liao said.

They knew the strength of Li Mu's Wuling Iron Cavalry. In the entire Qin Kingdom, only the Tie Ying Ruishi could compete with Wuling Iron Cavalry, and they were still in a weak position. Although the Huns were not weaker than Wuling Iron Cavalry, their army was in Shangdang County. There were limited people left by each tribe here.

"Quicken the march, we must hurry up, Li Mu won't wait for us." Wang Jian said.

"It would be great if Li Mu was also one of us." Ziyou joked.

But this sentence attracted the attention of Wang Jian and Wei Liao, and Ziyou smiled awkwardly.Ziyou knew what these two men were thinking, as Wei Liao and Li Mu, the only two commanders of the armed forces with sufficient strategic levels in any country, they were worthy of being greeted by Liu Si in any country.

On the other hand, Wang Jian wanted to compete with Li Mu. As the middle-aged faction of the same military family, as the saying goes, there is no first in literature, and no second in martial arts. Wang Jian and Li Mu always have to be ranked. After knowing the gap between himself and Li Mu, Wang Jian wanted to try his best to surpass Li Mu.

Wang Jian and Wei Liao also knew that Ziyou was joking. Li Mu was very loyal to Zhao, so it was impossible to surrender to Qin. Under Wei Liao's arrangement, the army speeded up again.

At dawn and dawn, the Tuli brothers, a [-]-strong army of the Huns under Touman, marched towards the border town. Looking at the border town blocking their way, the Tuli brothers immediately sent troops to attack. Because of the experience of attacking a few days ago, the Huns did not rush to attack. Instead, they held leather and wooden shields on their heads to resist the Qin army's arrow rain.

When the Xiongnu army, which was attacking in an orderly manner, prepared to deal with the rain of arrows, the expected rain of arrows did not appear. After the Xiongnu army approached, they found that there were no defenders on the walls of the border city, only the flag of Qin was flying.

"Captain, the defenders of the border town have withdrawn, and the border town is now an empty city." A cavalryman came to Tuli and Tuqian's horse and said.

"What!? The Qin army has withdrawn?" Tuli said incredulously.

"Yes, Captain Zuo, the Qin army in the border town has withdrawn," the knight said.

Tuli looked at his younger brother Tuqian.Tulitu's first two brothers, the elder brother Tutuli has always led the army to charge, while Tuqian is responsible for making plans and occasionally participating in the charge. Faced with such unexpected events, Tuli needs to make up his mind before Tulitu.

"Let our people search the border town to see what's going on inside," Tuqian said.

"Yes."

After the cavalry left, Tuqian looked at Tuli and said
"Brother, you are waiting here for news from the city, and I will report the news to the Chanyu."

"Okay." Turtle nodded.

After Tuqian left, Tuli patiently waited for the search results.

At this time, Wang Ben, Meng Wu and others who had evacuated from the border city took a large amount of supplies and headed towards Changyi. When they were about to arrive in Changyi, they met the vanguard army who came to meet them.

On the Xiongnu side, after knowing that the Qin army had withdrawn, Touman felt as if he had punched the cotton with all his strength. After the border city was really empty, Touman led the army towards the border city. Looking at the empty border city, Touman didn't know what to do for a while.

"Is there any food in the city?" Touman asked.

"No, there is nothing in the city, not even pots and pans." Tuli said.

"The whole army broke up the camp and continued to move southward. After passing the border town, our world will be behind us." Touman said.

"Yes."

Looking at the empty city, Touman was a little angry. They spent so much energy attacking the border town, but they got nothing.

"Damn Qin Jun, he didn't leave any food for us." Touman cursed secretly.

As the Xiongnu army pulled out its camp and continued southward, the spies scattered by the Xiongnu army soon returned.

"How is Changyi?" Touman asked.

"If you go back to the Great Shanyu, the Qin army set up camps outside Changyi City. The camps are continuous, with about 20 people. All other fortresses outside Changyi City are under martial law." The spies said.

"The Qin army gave up sticking to Changyi, but the army is stationed outside the camp?" Touman said with a gleam in his eyes.

"Yes."

"How far is the Qin army's camp from our place?" Touman asked.

"One hundred miles."

"Hahahaha, under God's blessing, Qin must have regarded us as other people from the Central Plains, and chose to fight us in the field. I will let them know how powerful I am, the arrogant Qin army." Touman laughed.
"The whole army set off, let all the troops who went out to look for food come back, and advance twenty miles and stop to set up camp."

"Da Shanyu is cautious. If the Qin army dares to fight us in the field, there must be someone behind." Gongyangling said.

"You don't need to say much, Prime Minister, Qin Jun is not as powerful as you imagined." Touman said.

"Army attack."

The Xiongnu army marched forward, and stopped when it was eighty miles away from the Qin army's camp.

Some Xiongnu tribes who were looting villages also returned to the camp and began to rest.

On the Qin side, the army led by Wei Liao, Ziyou, and Wang Ben also arrived at the camp. Neither side sent out spies to investigate the other side's situation.

In front of Changyi City, there were three fortresses for defense. After the border town was abandoned, there were only two fortresses, Changli and Tonghuyi, and Daying finished products. An inverted triangle pocket was waiting for the Huns to attack.

And Touman also saw this and held his own battle meeting. Although Touman has a violent personality and serious shortcomings in governing internal affairs, he was able to suppress many tribes and realize the unification of the Xiongnu situation, relying on his excellent combat ability.

Now facing the entire Qin army, Touman has also shown his true strength, and the Huns camp is no longer as chaotic as before. There is a unified patrol and uniform garrison. After the spies of the Qin army reported the situation of the Huns camp, Ziyou turned over the previous military report and said
"It seems that the Huns are serious. We can no longer rely on other people. We must be prepared to face the Huns head-on."

"Touman is not a fool, he won't get in such a pocket formation, where do you think he will attack first?" Wei Liao asked.

"Common sense, common sense is below. If common sense is taken down, they will have another entrance to the south. Although they cannot plunder the richer places near Changyi, they can catch up with the people who fled to the vicinity of Gaonu. Looting these places is enough for them to spend the winter." Meng Wu said, pointing to the position of common sense.

"I also think it's common sense. Tonghuyi has a river as a barrier, and there are many traps around it, but near common sense is a vast plain. Once the Huns charge, it will be difficult for common sense to resist." Wang Jian said.

"Let the Habayashi army dispatch. They have been thinking of proving themselves. This is the first hard battle with the Xiongnu. Tell them that they are going to deal with the elite cavalry of the Xiongnu. Let Feng Wuze get ready." Wei Liao said.

"I'll go there with Feng Wuze," Ziyou said.

"Why?" Wei Liao asked.

As a military supervisor, he should be responsible for military discipline in the army, and Ziyou is still the king's teacher of Qin, so life and death matters like going to the battlefield can be avoided or should be avoided.

"The Habayashi Army was established by me. I, the founder, should be here in this battle. Feng Wuze is capable enough, but this is the first time he has dealt with the Huns. I have seen how Li Mu dealt with the Huns at Yanmen Pass before. I can give some advice." Ziyou said.

"Okay." Wei Liao thought for a while and agreed to Ziyou's idea.

"The people from Baijia should be on the way. When they arrive, please ask General Meng to receive them for me." Ziyou said.

"No problem." Meng Wu said.

After General Wei Liao gave the order to Ziyou, Ziyou found Feng Wuze, and then followed Ziyou to Changli with the [-] Habayashi Army who went on an expedition. The Habayashi Army who went out this time were all except for the newcomers who were training and those who were in charge of water warfare.

As the army that enjoys the best treatment in the Qin State, it is also the army closest to the King of Qin. They have always attracted attention and criticism since their birth. Now they need to use the blood of the Huns to cleanse themselves of the criticism.
