Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 110 Preparing to face King Youxian
In the large tent of the army of the Youxian King of the Xiongnu, a general quickly walked into the tent, and the noise in the tent fell silent.

The general bowed to Youxian King: "The virtuous king and the last general were ordered to go to count the grain and grass, and found that our army's grain and grass have been less than ten days old."

"Ten days?".King Youxian fell into deep thought, thinking of the scene where the 20 troops ran out of food ten days later, a trace of worry appeared in his heart.

The generals in the tent looked at each other, but were silent.

At this time, there were footsteps, and a soldier opened the tent door and walked in: "I want to report to the virtuous king, our army's scouts have found news about the enemy."

"What is the strength of the army, and who is the general?"The Youxian King of the Huns seemed a little impatient when he heard the news of the soldiers.

The Xiongnu soldiers organized their words in their hearts: "The enemy has about [-] soldiers and horses. Seeing that the leader general's flag is written with a huge character Zhou, the villain estimates that their leader is a general surnamed Zhou."

"Fifty thousand soldiers and horses?"King Youxian of the Xiongnu was a little surprised. Why is the enemy's army only [-]? .

The Xiongnu soldiers nodded and explained to Youxian King: "The virtuous king does not know that the enemy army is weak with only [-] soldiers and horses. Not only did they not defend the tribe, but they moved [-] miles forward to set up camp to guard against our army. attack".

"[-] soldiers and horses, it seems that General Zuo has made great contributions, but it is a pity...".The voice became lower and lower, thinking that there was no news from General Zuo, King You Xian of the Huns couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Seeing the emotion on the face of the Youxian King of the Huns, the soldiers knew that they had finished what they needed to report, so they bowed and walked out of the tent.

Seeing the soldiers go away, discussion suddenly started in the tent.

"A mere [-] soldiers and horses dare to come out of the tribe to fight us. It seems that the enemy will be a brainless person."

"Arrogant and conceited, the final general is willing to lead his troops and horses to completely defeat these inexplicable enemy troops."

"Our army is 20, and its strength is four times that of the enemy's. I really don't know why the enemy's general made such a naive decision."

"Naive? Things are too abnormal. In the future, it may seem that there may be some deep meaning in it."

"Don't be careless, maybe the enemy has some support."

The Youxian King of the Xiongnu looked around at the generals in the tent: "What this king is worried about is this unknown force. How many troops does he have? Apart from these two known armies, is there any other force?" .

"Does King Xian mean that there may be other troops in this force. That's why the enemy army who cut off our family's food path will choose to move forward thirty miles."A general stood up from his seat and asked Youxian King cautiously.

King Youxian of the Xiongnu nodded slowly, then seemed to think of something, and shook his head again: "It is possible, but not entirely."

"Also ask the virtuous king to make it clear."The generals of the Xiongnu felt a little confused about what it meant to be incomplete.

The Youxian King of the Xiongnu looked around the tent and saw that everyone showed doubts, and explained to them: "My family dispatched troops in the central grassland, which made all the tribes empty of young and strong, which gave them an opportunity. But Have you ever thought that if they occupy the tribe, the people of our tribe will not object? It’s just that the tribe is full of old and weak women and children and has no leader, so it seems calm.”

"According to King Xian's analysis, in fact, within the area they occupy, there is already a dark tide, but there is a lack of an opportunity. The reason why the enemy general moved forward thirty miles is because he was aware of this crisis."The general seemed to have come to his senses, and asked King Youxian.

King Youxian of the Xiongnu showed a slight smile: "Opportunity, once our army surrounds the large northern tribes, the people will be encouraged. At that time, our tribe will only need to send some people to sneak in secretly to incite the people of our tribe. Under internal and external attacks, the tribe will The dilapidated fortifications will definitely fall. At this time, the enemy army will move forward thirty miles and block our army. The possibility of communication between the two will be completely cut off, and the crisis of internal and external attacks will be avoided."

"From this point of view, the enemy general is not only not stupid, but a formidable opponent."After listening to King Youxian's explanation, the general sighed with emotion from the bottom of his heart.

As soon as the words fell, the voice of discussion came from the tent again.

"Having said that, our army has 20 soldiers and horses, and the enemy's army is only [-]. Our army can defeat them with one surprise attack, regain the tribe and restore the food road."

"The enemy's initiative to walk out of the tribe has both advantages and disadvantages. Once the protection of the tribe's defensive positions and city walls is lost, it is not directly exposed to our army."

"The tribe is full of old and weak women and children. As long as the army is well protected, there will be no big waves. Therefore, the general thinks that the enemy general is not wise."

Hearing the rumors, King Youxian of the Huns couldn't help saying: "This is why the enemy general was able to defeat the 15 defenders of our army in one fell swoop. The reason why you can't do it even with two large tribes." .

"Also ask the virtuous king to make it clear."Some generals asked unconvinced questions.

King Youxian of the Xiongnu looked at the unconvinced general: "After the strong attack, the defense of the tribe has been broken. Instead of holding the broken defense of the tribe, it is better to go out and fight with all your strength."

The general was dumbfounded, just when he was about to refute.The Youxian King of the Xiongnu shouted to the outside of the tent: "Bring up the map."

"Follow orders".Two soldiers walked in carrying a huge map, and then slowly opened the map.

King Youxian of the Xiongnu carefully looked at the map and pointed to a place thirty miles away from the tribe: "Both are mountains, only the middle one is open. As long as the enemy army sets up a camp in that open area and builds an earth wall, it will be fine." Stop our army."

"stop?".The general turned his head to look at the map behind him, and all the generals also turned their heads to look at it.

Youxian King of the Xiongnu pondered for a moment, looked up at the map, and his eyes were full of confidence: "It is just a dream to defeat our army of 20 with [-]. So they can only block it, and at most they want to achieve the effect of delaying time. Wait for me The army rations are exhausted, or there are still people who will come back."

"Does the wise king mean that the defenders in the large eastern tribes will only be able to defeat the soldiers and horses left by our troops during this period of time and come to support them?"The general thought for a while, and asked You Xian Wang a question.

King Youxian of the Xiongnu shook his head slightly: "The defenders first broke the Donghu food road, and then flanked the Donghu army with our army. They fought with our army for a long time, and were already exhausted. If they want to fight a decisive battle between the tribes, they will definitely be defeated."

"Then what's the backhand?"Some generals couldn't help standing up and asking.

King Youxian of the Xiongnu patrolled the map as if he was looking for something: "Maybe the enemy army still has a large army, and it is watching in the dark."

"Since this is the case, please ask the virtuous king to prepare early."The generals were startled and reminded one after another.

King Youxian of the Huns withdrew his gaze from the map and immediately ordered: "Tonight, our army will advance a hundred miles and set up camp. Tomorrow night, we will leave 15 soldiers and horses to garrison the camp to prevent the enemy's rear. attack".

"Follow orders".Hearing the military order, the general stood up quickly from his seat, bowed to King You Xian, and then turned around and filed out.
