Traveling through Chenghan Xiandi, fortunately I have a simulator

Chapter 189 Make a Tomb for the Northern Huns Cavalry
"Wang Yue, how are the secret guards trained now?" Zhang Ming asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, there are now five people, and the three who were responsible for following Zhuo Yun have been transferred back." Wang Yue said with his head down.

"Okay, I'll give you a task. Check the ministers of the court, the three lords and the nine ministers, and the ministers. The main thing is to check to see if they have any contact with the Northern Huns. As long as there are some clues, you don't need to go too deep. Check." Zhang Ming said in a deep voice.

"Are all senior officials going to investigate?" Wang Yue said with some confidence.

"Yes, but don't let the court ministers know about it for the time being, so I can only use secret guards to investigate first." Zhang Ming said again.

Even if a minister of the imperial court did this kind of capital crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason, he must have kept his mouth shut, so it was not easy to investigate the relevant clues.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Yue said respectfully.

Although the number of secret guards is small, their personal abilities are first-class and strong, and the secrecy is extremely strong. Therefore, it is most reasonable to entrust this matter to the secret guards.

After Wang Yue left the hall, Zhang Ming called Jia Xu.

"Wen He, I have a question I want to ask you." Zhang Ming said.

"Please speak, Your Majesty," Jia Xu bowed.

"If you were the Shanyu of the Northern Huns and wanted to go south to plunder the Sanfu area, what would you do?" Zhang Ming asked.

"Your Majesty, are the Northern Huns coming?" Jia Xu said in shock.

"Well, Wen He should think about the question I just asked?" Zhang Ming asked again.

Jia Xu stood aside and thought silently. It is not unusual for the Northern Huns to go south to plunder the Sanfu area. In the past, the Northern Huns only plundered in the Bingzhou area at most. They all need to go through Bingzhou. However, the Northern Huns and Bingzhou Zhangyang are incompatible.

However, now the Northern Huns actually want to come to the Sanfu area to plunder. Although Jia Xu doesn't know where His Majesty got the news, but seeing His Majesty's swearing, he knows that the source of the news is quite reliable.

After thinking for a long time, Jia Xu's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something.

"Your Majesty, I understand. There is a Qin Zhidao in Bingzhou, and the Northern Xiongnu must have passed through Bingzhou through that straight road, and then went south to the Sanfu area." Jia Xu scratched his head and said.

"Qin Zhidao?" Zhang Ming asked in confusion.

"During the Qin Shihuang period, hundreds of thousands of people were used to build a straight road from Yunyang in the south to Jiuyuan County in the north, and Yunyang is now a county under the administration of Wuyuan County, but it has been renamed. As for Jiuyuan County, It still exists today, but it is now a place under the rule of the Northern Huns, but this straight road was abandoned during Emperor Guangwu’s time, and I didn’t expect that after more than 200 years, someone would still remember it.” Jia Xu explained.

Zhang Ming suddenly remembered that when he was studying history, he had recorded the content of Qin Chidao, but he did not expect that this thing was still useful. He thought that this thing disappeared with the disappearance of the Qin Empire.

"If you go straight from the Qin Dynasty, how long will it take to reach the Sanfu area with the cavalry of the Huns in the north?" Zhang Ming asked seriously.

"From Wuyuan County to Sanfu area, although the road is under the rule of the imperial court, there is no army to hinder them, so they must go unimpeded. Therefore, I estimate that they will reach Sanfu area in about ten days." Jia Xu thought. road.

"Ten days?" Zhang Ming exclaimed. Once the Northern Huns cavalry arrived in the Sanfu area, the Sanfu area would become a barren area. The region has no defense force. Could it be that he just watched the Sansuke region being looted?

At the moment there are 1 soldiers in the imperial court. There are more than [-] soldiers in Chen Cang and Mei counties. Even if there are [-] soldiers, most of them are only infantry. , but even if there are only [-] to [-] visitors, I am afraid that the court will have nothing to do.

"Your Majesty, will the northern Xiongnu cavalry really come to the Sanfu area?" Jia Xu asked in disbelief.

"It's really coming, that's why I asked you so many questions, it's because the fact that they went south to the Sansuke area to plunder is a foregone conclusion, the only thing I can do now is to reduce losses, it would be great if there were no losses It's gone." Zhang Ming said with emotion.

If there is no reminder from the life simulator, he can only watch the northern Xiongnu cavalry go south to plunder the Sansuke area, but he will not have too much trouble in his heart, because this is not something he could have expected at all, not to mention, the North The Xiongnu's southward travel to the Sanfu area was also the result of cooperation with a certain minister of the imperial court, but now it was different, Zhang Ming already knew the result, so he could not just watch such a tragic situation happen.

This is the first time when Jia Xu has no choice. In ten days, the Northern Huns cavalry will most likely come to the Sanfu area. However, the court is now notifying Bingzhou that it is too late. Just one or two thousand, it is almost impossible to stop the plunder of tens of thousands of Northern Huns cavalry.

If the infantry wanted to deal with the cavalry, it would be useful only in formation, but the Northern Huns cavalry went south just to plunder, so they would try to avoid fighting the infantry as much as possible. If Zhang Ming guessed right, the Northern Huns cavalry would leave gracefully after the plunder was completed. , will never stay in Guanzhong for a moment.

Yes, Zhang Ming suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Since the Northern Huns cavalry was not going south for combat this time, they would inevitably avoid the infantry formation, and this gave them a chance.

"Wenhe, do you think it is feasible to do this? First of all," Zhang Ming told Jia Xu all his plans with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I think this plan is feasible, but we need to be more cautious in these areas." Immediately afterwards, Jia Xu began to further improve this crude plan.

In this way, an afternoon was spent quietly while the two of them were perfecting the plan.

At night, it was already dark, Wang Yue walked into the hall, then bowed and said, "Your Majesty, there is no news yet."

"Continue to investigate." Zhang Ming said expressionlessly.

For such an important conspiracy, Zhang Ming did not believe that the other party could do it seamlessly.

The next morning, Zhang Ming got up early, and from today onwards, he was going to prepare for the arrival of the Northern Huns.

After Cui Ming's summons, Yan Zhong and Xu Huang are now in the Gaomen Hall.

"I have something to give to the two of you." Zhang Ming said seriously.

"Your Majesty, please tell me." The two bowed a step forward.

"Yan Zhong, you send your subordinates to temporarily replace the captain of the city gate. From today onwards, the martial law in the city will be strengthened. Anyone who enters or leaves the city must be strictly questioned." Zhang Ming ordered.

This is Zhang Ming's first move. By strictly controlling Chang'an City, he can release the meaning that he has learned the relevant news, which can play the role of fishing. What he wants to catch is the person who conspired with the Northern Huns. Of course , if the man is very calm, then fishing will be useless.

However, that person probably wouldn't have thought that fishing was just a tactic on the surface, and it was the court's secret guards who played a role behind the scenes. If that person had realized that the news had been exposed, he would definitely want to eliminate all suspicious evidence. If he wanted to destroy the evidence, then he would definitely show his feet.

So this move should be made clearly, whoever has ghosts in their hearts will naturally be afraid.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yan Zhonglang said.

"Xu Huang," Zhang Ming said.

"The end will be here," Xu Huang replied.

"You mobilize [-] soldiers in the city, remember to take away the soldiers who surrendered before, and follow me to the place where Shangjun and Sanfu meet." Zhang Ming said.

"Your Majesty, what is the meaning of this?" Xu Huang said a little puzzled. He clearly remembered that nothing had happened in the Sansuke area recently, not even refugees. It was somewhat strange to bring so many soldiers there.

"Don't ask too many questions, just follow me." Zhang Ming said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xu Huang replied.

"Your Majesty, if you want to fight, why do you have to go in person? I can just go here for Your Majesty." Yan Zhong said with a step forward and bowed.

"I'm not going to fight. Don't worry about this, Yan Zhong. Remember the mission I entrusted to you. During the time when I leave Chang'an, you must guard Chang'an." Zhang Ming said, his departure, on the one hand, is Because the plan needs him to complete, on the other hand, it also leaves opportunities for the fish in the city.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yan Zhong said.

In the afternoon of that day, Yan Zhong's subordinates completed the replacement of the captain of the city gate. Of course, these guards have also been replaced by Yan Zhong's people. After that, everyone who enters and exits Chang'an will be questioned carefully. All of a sudden, Chang'an City became tense.

Xu Huang has already summoned all [-] infantry in the city, and now he only needs to wait for His Majesty's order, and they will set off.

At this time, Zhang Ming went to the Ministry of Industry in person. He found Pu Yuan, a master craftsman of the Ministry of Industry, and borrowed more than 3 pieces of new farm tools from him. After that, he went to the Research Department again, found Ma Jun, and called Here comes all the members of the research department.

"Ma Jun, do you have a way to make the infantry fight the cavalry? You can't use arrays." Zhang Ming asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I have no choice." Ma Jun said helplessly.It is really impossible for him to think of a new way to let the infantry fight the cavalry besides forming an array. If there was a new way, the cavalry would have disappeared from the battlefield long ago.

Of course, this was just Zhang Ming asking for fun, and he didn't think Ma Jun would have any good solutions, but he asked this question to lead to the next question.

"I don't need you to deal with the cavalry. I just want to say, if I want to dig a trap and let the cavalry fall into the trap when they pass by, can you and your members make the trap bigger?" Zhang Ming said with a smile.

"That's fine, but the forward cavalry may fall into a trap, but the cavalry behind will definitely choose to take another path." Ma Jun asked puzzled.

"That's why I want you to make the trap bigger, at least able to accommodate a thousand cavalrymen through it without any problems." Zhang Ming said, and then he whispered the trap's requirements in Ma Jun's ear.

"I will dispatch two thousand cavalry to cooperate with you in relevant experiments. The requirement is that if one thousand cavalry steps on the trap, it will not collapse, but if two thousand cavalry step on it, it will collapse. Of course, in addition to the two thousand cavalry, I will also dispatch twenty thousand infantry to accompany you To dig a trap and make a cover, you only need to find a suitable cover state for two thousand cavalry to step on the trap and collapse." Zhang Ming instructed.

The current research department has been established for half a year. During this period, various experiments have been done. Ma Jun is worthy of being a generation of mechanical masters. Zhang Ming is also very satisfied with the results produced in the past six months. Of course, the current The resources available to the research department are already terrifyingly high, and even so, Zhang Ming is willing to continue investing.

"Your Majesty, I understand." Ma Jun said with a smile. Now he is no longer a newborn calf. He knows that there are traps that can satisfy a thousand cavalry and two thousand cavalry collapse. In the past, he didn't have the resources to do this experiment, but now that His Majesty is willing to send out two thousand cavalry to experiment with him, he has nothing to say.

Just do it.

That night, Ma Jun started the experiment outside Chang'an City, and Zhang Ming watched carefully from the sidelines. These 2000 cavalry were the only ones left in the city, and they couldn't afford to consume them. Moreover, when the cavalrymen fought against the Huns next, It is also useful, Zhang Ming does not want the two thousand cavalry to suffer too much loss because of the experiment.

With the participation of [-] infantry and new farm tools, it didn't take long for a huge pit to be dug.

As soon as Ma Jun was about to build the cover, Zhang Ming reminded him to put a thick layer of thatch in the pit first, so that even if the horse fell into the pit, it could recover its combat effectiveness after a while, but if it was on flat ground, it would fall directly into the pit , it is estimated that it is completely over.

In just one night, a trap capable of accommodating a thousand cavalrymen was ready. During this period, cavalrymen also fell into the trap many times, but fortunately, most of the ground was covered with thatch, although some supports were injured. Cavalry, but also with excusable circumstances.

Afterwards, the experiment was repeated every day. These more than 2000 cavalry lost more than 300 horses in just three days. This made Zhang Ming feel a little bit chilled, but in order to deal with the Northern Huns, there was no other way. .

It was not until the evening of the fourth day that the experiment was finally successful. During these four days, dozens of rounds of experiments were conducted, and more than 400 horses were lost before the final effect was achieved. The situation where the thousand cavalry will collapse.

With the support of the experiment, Zhang Ming's hanging heart finally sank, and the next step is to go to the various places in Shangjun leading to the Sanfu area to set up traps.

There are many main roads from Shangjun to Sanfu area, but not every main road is suitable for laying traps, but the [-] infantry brought by Zhang Ming to the front line has a huge role in addition to digging traps, that is, to lay out traps. Waiting for the arrival of the Huns cavalry, forcing the Huns cavalry to take other main roads, once they reach the main road with traps, those who wait for the Huns cavalry will die.

"Hahahahaha, I didn't expect this straight road to be really useful. Our army's [-] cavalry arrived in Wuyuan County without anyone noticing it." Northern Xiongnu Zuoxian King said with a smile.
