"My Lord! General Zhang Liao sent a letter! The food and grass of Wuhuan have been completely burned."
Xu Chu walked into the big tent with Zhang Liao's letter.
"Okay! Order the whole army not to engage the enemy!"
Xu Chu frowned and asked: "My Lord, Wuhuan has no food and grass, why don't we just launch an attack?"
Liu Yao looked at Xu Chu and asked: "Zhongkang, has our army arrived? When the food and grass are exhausted, do we need to fight a decisive battle with Wuhuan?"
Xu Chu shook his head.
"Our army has enough food and grass."
"Wuhuan is a group of wild wolves. Now they still have the strength to fight. When their fighting spirit is completely exhausted, we will send troops."
"Every soldier under our command is an elite who has fought hundreds of battles. Reduce their losses, wait for the opportunity, and strive to defeat the enemy in one stroke!"
Gongsun Zan also approved of Liu Yao's approach.
"Brother Ziyi! You really love your soldiers like your own sons!"
"Brother Bogui, the Wuhuan's food and grass have been destroyed, they will definitely retreat, and then they will send troops to stop us. I need you to help me hold those Wuhuan people, I need to free up my hands to fight with Tadun!"
Gongsun Zan waved his hand and smiled: "Don't worry, this matter is up to me!"
...
At the same time, Tadun has assembled all the troops and is ready to return to the base camp for defense.
Because he knows that Liu Yao would not fight with him before and it is even more impossible to fight with him now.
He is like a cunning fox, always around you, ready to take advantage of the opportunity to bite and hunt other targets.
Tadun can only hope to maintain most of his strength, and then contact the Xianbei and join them to obtain food and grass replenishment.
As the Wuhuan army marched, Liu Yao's troops followed the Wuhuan people like a group of hyenas.
The Han army was like a sword hanging over their heads.
Wuhuan people didn't sleep well last night. The Han army was still harassing Wuhuan crazily during the day, which made them miserable. It also made their marching speed slower. At this marching speed, they couldn't return to the camp on the third day.
Tadun had no choice but to order 30,000 people to stay behind and the rest of the people to continue evacuating to preserve most of their strength.
You can imagine the final fate of these 30,000 people.
At night, the Wuhuan people were all hungry and standing guard.
"Brother, the brothers can't stand it anymore! The weather is still so cold, and we haven't had any food since noon today."
"It's snowing heavily, we can't let the brothers eat snow to fill their stomachs, right? And our war horses are obviously a little overwhelmed."
"Can our brothers really walk back to the camp alive?"
The centurion on the side scolded: "Little bastard! Go to stand guard honestly. The Chanyu has especially ordered to be careful of the Han army's surprise attack tonight."
The centurion looked at the people with very low morale, and his heart was also very melancholy.
Now their food and grass have all been burned by the Han army. Even if they retreat to the camp, without the support of food and grass, let alone war horses, even the strongest warriors can't lift their sabers.
At this time, teams of black-clothed people sneaked into the camp quietly.
The leader was Zhang Liao's troops.
The Wuhuan people thought that they could rest easy with the 30,000 troops left behind, but they missed one person, Zhang Liao, who attacked the grain.
Zhang Liao made a look at the soldiers behind him, and the two of them found the right time, attacked quickly and decisively, and directly killed the two.
"Ahem! Uh..."
The Wuhuan centurion kept struggling, trying to remind everyone, but unfortunately, his neck had been cut off by Zhang Liao's dagger.
At the same time, a large number of Han troops began to rush in frantically along the gap opened by Zhang Liao.
Unexpectedly, one of the soldiers was noticed by the Wuhuan people when he took action.
"Enemy!!!..."
Before he could say the second word, his throat was cut by a young general.
Zhang Liao saw that this person's style of doing things was very steady, so he asked his name curiously.
"I see you look a bit strange, maybe you are a newcomer? What's your name?"
"General, I am Gao Shun. I admired General Liu's reputation some time ago, so I came here to join him."
Zhang Liao saw that this man was flawless in his work, and he was a rare general.
"Okay, Gao Shun, you have done a good job. You will be my personal guard in the future. Do a good job. I will recommend you to the lord if there is a chance in the future."
"Everyone continue to grope forward. After reaching the designated position, you can set fire."
"The person who just failed, go back and take the military stick!"
The soldier who failed bowed with shame.
"Yes!"
The remaining soldiers,Relying on the moonlight, they continued to advance.
When they successfully sneaked into the middle of the camp, the Wuhuan people in the tent shouted loudly, and everyone slept like dead pigs.
"Everyone, move!"
With Zhang Liao's order, everyone gathered all the kerosene and hay they carried around the tent.
At this time, Tadun was alone in the big tent, frowning and drinking, thinking about countermeasures.
Zhang Liao saw that the arrangement was almost completed, so he left a few soldiers to light the fire.
The crackling flames turned into a raging fire in an instant. In addition, it was winter, and the tents between the Wuhuan people were all tightly together, and the fire instantly became bigger.
The wind was howling, and the flames that shot up into the sky instantly lit up the entire night sky.
"It's on fire! It's on fire!!!"
Some Wuhuan soldiers on duty immediately shouted and rushed into Tadun's tent when they found something unusual.
"Khanyu, it's bad, the big tent is on fire!"
"What!?"
Tadun threw down the wine pot and hurried out of the big tent.
The horrible high temperature made Tadun's cheeks red, but at this moment he only felt a chill constantly invading him.
"It's over! This time it's completely over!"
Tadun looked at the flames that shot up into the sky, and the strong wind kept approaching him.
"Order everyone! Put out the fire immediately! The guards will quickly reinforce."
"Yes!!"
The soldiers around hurriedly scattered to notify others to continue to put out the fire.
At this time, the general on the side persuaded: "Khanyu! Look at the fire and the wind direction. They definitely can't put out this fire. Let's retreat quickly."
"If it's a little later, I'm afraid your big tent will burn down."
Tadun shook his head firmly.
"I can't retreat! Once I retreat, the 70,000-strong army will completely become a mess. If Liu Yao takes advantage of the situation to attack, it will be all over."
"Don't we have 30,000 people guarding the rear? Even if Liu Yao has great ability, he can't bypass our rear guard troops."
A large number of horses in the stables were affected by the fire and all fled.
At this time, heavy snow suddenly fell from the sky, helping the Wuhuan people to temporarily control the fire.
Tadun was overjoyed.
"Hahaha! Liu Yao! You still don't know how to use troops! If you had just taken advantage of the fire to attack us, our army would have been defeated!"
"Hahaha!!! Tadun Chanyu, what can make you laugh so hard? Let me, Liu Ziyi, listen too."
