Straight man of steel

Chapter 441
"My lord, these Han Chinese are just trying to slow us down.

We can't let them go on like this! "

King Hunxie was also furious and had nowhere to vent his anger.

This Han army is different from the previous Han army.

In the past, the Han army either fought desperately or surrendered.

This is the first time that such a cunning Han army has appeared in northern Xinjiang.

King Hunxie would not know even if he was killed. Zhang Cigong Zhang Yuan gave him a word of advice before setting off.

A sixteen-character policy against the enemy proposed by a great man.

"When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is stationed, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue." '

This is a guerrilla tactic formulated by the great man in an absolutely weak situation.

It couldn't be more appropriate to give it to Zhang Cigong now.

"Wu Tugu, you lead a cavalry force of [-] people to the front.

Remember to keep a maximum distance of ten miles from the main force behind.

If the Han army dares to attack again, I will bite them hard. "

"The final general will definitely live up to the king's expectations!"

When the Han army's scouts saw [-] Xiongnu cavalry at the front of the marching team, they immediately told Zhang Cigong the news.

"The Hun bandits have also learned to be smart.

Li Shuo! "

"The end is here!"

"Send someone to inform General Wei and get ready for battle!"

A tinge of blood appeared in Zhang Cigong's eyes.

He's just playing around here, and whether he can stop the 20 Huns' army depends on Zhang Yuan's side.

"The end general will send someone to notify General Wei."

Ever since Wu Tugu led an army of [-] to guard against death, Zhang Cigong had no intention of attacking the Huns.

However, he walked all the way along the foothills of Junji Mountain, and cut down the trees when he saw them, and they all piled up on the road.

The purpose is to slow down the speed of the Huns' army.

Their current location is not very far from Fuyangju Mountain Narrows.

If nothing is done, the Huns army will definitely reach Shancha before dark.

Because it would be dark, the Huns would not choose to clash with Zhang Cigong at this time.

But no one can guarantee that they won't touch the narrow side of the mountain at night to see what's going on.

Therefore, no matter what, Zhang Cigong had to let the Xiongnu army stationed tonight as far away from Fuyangju Mountain as possible.

In the afternoon, the person Zhang Cigong sent to notify had arrived at Fuyangju Mountain Narrows.

For more than a day, Zhang Yuan has been making arrangements.

Find out the narrow terrain of the mountain, and send people to cut down the brambles and bury them in the middle of the narrow road through the mountain.

Those flatbed trucks for transporting food were also left behind by Zhang Yuan.

He asked the soldiers to dismantle all the flatbed carts, insert all the dismantled sticks and planks into the soil, and sharpen all the ends exposed to the air.

I just want to reduce their combat effectiveness a little bit before the two sides come into contact.

Zhang Cigong's vanguard army acted as lumberjacks all day, and the effect was finally manifested when night came.

The Huns stopped and camped thirty miles away from Fuyangju Mountain.

Zhang Cigong took his army and stationed ten miles away from them.

On one side is an extremely crude camp.

On the other side is a camp that stretches for more than ten miles.

A discerning person can see the gap at a glance, but with such a big gap, Zhang Cigong put his home at the door of the enemy.

Although today's schedule was delayed a lot, Hunxie King and the others were upset.

However, he did not stay where he was.

"My lord, do we want to attack at night?

Otherwise, these Han people will still hinder our march tomorrow. "

Wu Tugu was determined to get the place back.

"No need, it doesn't take an hour to leave Junji Mountain tomorrow.

There are no trees on the prairie for them to cut. "

"The general will know."

"You go back and rest, tomorrow will still march according to today's formation."

"Yes."

Late that night, Zhang Cigong and Li Shuo rushed back to Fuyangjushanchao overnight.

Zhang Yuan began to deploy for tomorrow's battle in the military tent that could only accommodate ten people.

"General Wei, General Zhang and Lieutenant General Li have arrived."

"Quickly invite them in!"

"Here."

As soon as Zhang Cigong came in, the others hurriedly made way for Zhang Cigong to come to the front.

"General Wei."

"It's hard work for Marquis Antou, this time you should be the first one."

"It's just that we haven't bought more time for our army."

"It doesn't matter, we have already made all the necessary arrangements."

Zhang Cigong nodded, and then stood aside so that everyone could see the map hanging in the middle.

"Everyone, tomorrow is the best time for us to gain military exploits.

I dare say that after tomorrow, I will never have such a chance again.

Whether you can be named Marquis and Admiral General depends on everyone's performance tomorrow. "

Up to now, Zhang Yuan has not disclosed his strategic intentions, so everyone just listens to it with joy.

If Feng Hou was really so easy to seal, Li Guang would die of aggrieved.

"Antouhou, tomorrow you will first seduce the Huns' army, and then pass through the mountain through the middle road."

Zhang Yuan took a piece of coal and drew a line directly on the map.

"There are no signs, but this is the only way without any pitfalls.

The rest of the place is full of thorns and various traps under the weeds. Remember that only this road is safe. "

Zhang Cigong nodded, he could still pass safely if he was more careful.

"After passing?"

"Wait!"

"Wait?"

"After seeing the traces of the Huns, immediately charged.

Without bait, they are very difficult to catch.

At that time, the rest of the army will hide on both sides of the narrow mountain, and after they pass through the [-] army, we will charge from both sides. "

What Zhang Yuan said was simple, but Zhang Cigong understood in his heart how difficult it is to successfully lead the Hun army astray.

"The general will know."

"Others, remember not to light the fire tonight. I don't want a wisp of smoke to appear in the entire Husband and Yang Sentence Mountains until tomorrow's charge."

"The last will obey."

"The Qimen Army is led by Li Jian, and the Habayashi Army is led by Xue Ren. 6000 of you must block the mountain pass.

The two extra spears on his body were thrown into the narrow mountain in the first charge, understand! "

"Yes!"

"The remaining [-] cavalry charged after throwing their spears.

Charge as I said before, with your armor on the end of your spear.

Go back later and ask all the soldiers to stuff a piece of cotton cloth around their waists. "

"Yes!"

Zhang Yuan just wanted to use it once, and the European knights charged.

Although those scumbag knights in Europe have never been able to beat the nomadic cavalry from the east, it doesn't mean that their knight charge is without merit.

Their way of charging is actually the most suitable for charging.

There are few Europeans and a serious shortage of soldiers.

Only by charging with a long weapon can you reduce your own losses.

They often lose against nomadic cavalry in the fight after the charge.

Although heavy armor can bring them sufficient protection, it cannot make them more flexible.

"Everyone, if we fail to kill the [-] Xiongnu army in tomorrow's battle, I am afraid that this military achievement will be given to the chariot generals and the others for nothing."

"Please rest assured, General Wei, we will definitely fight with our best!"

After distributing the tasks to all the generals, Zhang Cigong and Li Shuo went back immediately.

Zhang Yuan was very nervous. After all, this was his first war as a coach.

The rest of the people also left the military tent one after another, but Han said he stayed alone.

Zhang Yuan didn't notice him at first.

I kept staring down at the map trying to figure out something.

When he looked up, he found that Han Yue was still standing there.

"General Han, do you have anything else to say?"

Zhang Yuan knew why and asked, but Han said that he was dissatisfied with Zhang Yuan's arrangement in his heart.

"General Wei, the last general wants to lead a cavalry to fight, even if it is not the Habayashi Army."

"Just like what you said before, those lieutenants are more familiar with their army than you.

It's about this time, I'll ask you to bring a cavalry, and when the battle starts tomorrow, you probably won't even recognize the commanders. "

"Then why does General Wei want General Xue to lead the Habayashi Army?"

"Xue Ren is a lieutenant of the Habayashi Army, where do you want me to arrange him?
Didn't Li Shuo also serve as Zhang Cigong's lieutenant general in his own army, why do you think being Xue Ren's lieutenant general wronged you?
Do you want me to call Xue Ren and let the two of you have a fair duel, whoever wins will lead the Habayashi Army? "

Han said not to mention having the courage to duel with Xue Ren.

Even if he was given two clones, he would not be able to beat the current Xue Ren.

"But General Wei promised the last general before."

"When did this general promise you?
Oh, I remember I said on the wall of the surrendered city that I will watch it later.

Do you think this military power is a child's play and can be distributed at will?

Do you think my general orders are child's play?At this time, I will bring Antouhou and Li Shuo over for a meeting and say that you will lead the Habayashi Army?

Han said that you have a brain problem or something, if there is no big war tomorrow, you must be convicted of disrespecting the general's order today! "

"I will be convicted at the end."

Han said that he also knew that his behavior was a little too much.

But he thought that Zhang Yuan would think about Liu Che's favor for him and satisfy some of his small demands, but he didn't expect Liu Che to be so tough.

Han said that if he knew about Dong Yan, he probably wouldn't place his hopes on Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan doesn't hate men liking each other, but he hates those who do whatever it takes to win over their masters in order to gain power and wealth.

Han Yan Han said that she is really famous.

The descendants of traitors have never lived such a prosperous life in the big man.

Their Han family is really the first case.

Received all the honor and favor.

Han said that after finishing such a place, Zhang Yuan also had an opening to vent.

The tension in my heart immediately dissipated a lot.

Seeing that it was already very late, and it was pitch black outside, Zhang Yuan also extinguished the torches in the military tent, and then lay down and fell asleep.

The next day, just before dawn, Zhang Yuan woke up.

The first thing you do when you wake up is put on your armor.

The Habayashi Army and [-] cavalry have already set off, and they are going to circle around to the north side of the narrow mountain.

Because the traps at the narrow mouth of the mountain cannot be destroyed, and the green grass cannot be crushed, the main cavalry cannot pass through the middle directly.

All of this is to confuse the Huns.

Thirty miles away, the camp of the Xiongnu army also began to move after dawn.

Zhang Cigong's vanguard army also moved.

However, Zhang Cigong called Li Shuo over when the army was packing up.

"Li Shuo."

"What is the general's order?"

"You are originally from the Li family in Longxi, the queen of the general family.

This time we are the vanguard, although we undertake the task of luring and blocking the Huns.

But I know you must be unwilling.

If we implement what General Wei said today, the credit will definitely be snatched by the Habayashi Army and the Qimen Army.

I'm afraid that in the end we won't kill the Huns as well as the other four cavalry armies. "

"General, do you have another plan?"

"Look at the narrow terrain of Fuyangju Mountain. The entrance is narrow and the exit is wide."

The narrow terrain of Fuyangju Mountain is indeed like this. On the west side, a maximum of 5000 people can pass through at the same time, but on the east side, [-] people can pass through at the same time.

Zhang Yuan also thought about blocking all 20 Huns cavalry in this narrow mountain.

But after seeing it on the ground, I knew that this was impossible.

The mountain is very narrow and short, and it can accommodate [-] troops, which is too much.

Moreover, Zhang Yuan's troops were insufficient, and he would definitely not be able to withstand the attack from three sides at the same time by the Huns' army.

If you want to block both sides of the narrow mountain, the final result can only be to bury yourself in it.

"General, what do you want to do?"

"Once the Xiongnu army directly fought with us at the exit on the west side of the mountain, even if General Wei and the others mobilized more than 4 cavalry, the Huns on the other side of the mountain would not know."

"But we can't withstand the attack of so many Huns?"

"It's just a death. How can the name of pioneer be ridiculed by outsiders in my hands?"

"The last general must follow the general!"

Li Shuo couldn't figure out Zhang Cigong's routine, so he had to agree first.

At the moment when the Xiongnu army set off, one of Zhang Cigong's confidants rode a horse and ran away through Fuyangju Mountain.

"General Wei, Antouhou has sent someone here, saying that he wants to see you with his own eyes."

"Bring him in."

Zhang Yuan's eyelids twitched. He was really afraid that something would happen at this time.

"The villain has seen General Wei."

"Why did Marquis Antou send you here?"

"Tell General Wei that Antou Hou said that he will launch a battle against the Xiongnu at the narrow east exit of Fuyangju Mountain.

Please order the main army to throw spears at the Huns, and then kill the Huns with crossbow arrows! "

After this person finished speaking, Zhang Yuan's eyes widened.

Doesn't this mean directly letting Zhang Cigong and the others die, but Zhang Yuan has to say that if he wants to kill the Huns to the greatest extent in one day, this is the best way.

The more the Huns died on the east side of the mountain, the more they could hurt them, and maybe they could stop Hunxie King Xiutu from doing so.

"No, go back and tell Antou Hou to strictly follow my orders."

"General Wei, Antou Hou said that if you disagree, he will disobey his orders.

I just hope you won't sit back and watch the opportunity of killing the enemy fought for by ten thousand Han soldiers be lost in vain! "

Zhang Yuan shook his head, he didn't expect Zhang Cigong to be a passionate person, and he would risk his life to defeat the Huns.

"Well, you go down first."

"Here."

In desperation, Zhang Yuan could only hastily dispatched messengers to modify the order.

Fortunately, the crossbow arrows brought by the army are sufficient, enough to consume them.
