I give the princess a sip

The Xiongnu were fierce by nature and only obeyed the strong. The youngest son of the Great Khan was only ten years old, so it was absolutely impossible to suppress the various tribes.

The three of them reached a consensus, to kill the Xiongnu who remained in the Tianxi Dynasty first, and then find an opportunity to deal with the remaining Xiongnu on the grassland.If the group on the prairie can't deal with them, they just give up, it's no big deal.

Now that the grassland is covered by heavy snow, the soldiers of the Tianxi Dynasty cannot enter, let alone this for the time being.

"The Xiongnu occupied the fortress of Hanyue Pass, and besides that is Min City, the first city in the pass." Qiao Mingyu tapped lightly on the map, "Looking at it this way, it cuts off the only road between Min City and Hanyue Pass." You can encircle Mincheng."

"But beware of the Xiongnu sneak attack at Hanyue Pass in the rear." Zhuang Wang added.

Gu Lian didn't know much about fighting, but during the Anshi Rebellion, the Tiance Mansion suffered heavy casualties, and it was hard to find generals in the whole country. Many knights were forced to lead "soldiers".A group of disciples from various sects formed a group to fight against the Spike Army, and those with a little ability would be pushed out as leaders.Gu Lian once led a miscellaneous army to the battlefield. Although she didn't make much achievements, she still blocked the invasion of the Spike Army. In terms of military affairs, she still has something to say.

"I don't know much, but the spirit of an army is very important to lead an army to fight." Gu Lian stretched out his hand and drew a circle outside the fortress, "This is their home, they can't go back." Then, he drew a circle around Min City , "This is where they temporarily sheltered, surrounded by enemy troops, and deep into the hinterland."

Qiao Mingyu's eyes brightened: "Deep into the hinterland and homeless, as long as the method is right, the Huns' army will be scattered and defeated. If they are surrounded by the army for a long time but cannot break through, and no one comes to support Hanyue Pass in the rear, Min City will be broken! "

King Zhuang glanced at Gu Lian in surprise: "That's right, what we have more than the Xiongnu is food, grass and numbers. The Xiongnu cavalry is fierce, but the defenders of the city do not have the advantage. If there is insufficient food in the city, the Xiongnu may not be able to sit still."

"However, Hanyueguan will definitely come to rescue her, her lips are dead and her teeth are cold." Gu Lian added, "But it doesn't matter, as long as ambushes are laid along the way."

The slender fingers gently outlined the route from Hanyueguan to Mincheng. The road is narrow and difficult to walk, and there are low mountains and forests on both sides.Now that the heavy snow in Tianxi territory has stopped, a lot of the snow will melt when the war starts. It is very convenient to ambush people here, and there is no need to worry too much about frostbite.The Xiongnu may not have known that they would lay an ambush, but this is the only way, there is no other choice.

The Xiongnu reinforcements were attacked by the army ambushed in the mountains. The mountain road from Hanyue Pass to Mincheng was tens of miles, and the horses had difficulty moving forward. Few of them could reach Mincheng despite the ambush.That's enough, Min City was besieged, and internal and external news could not be exchanged. They would not know whether Hanyue Pass did not send people to support them, or if they did, but they were all wiped out.

"Siege the point to fight for reinforcements, and after no one comes to rescue, turn around and besiege Mincheng, where the army's morale is slackened." This is the core tactic.

After discussing the superficial tactics, the rest needs to be adjusted to local conditions and go to the local area to check.Ambushing in the forest where the snow has not completely melted, preventing frostbite is a difficult problem. Without such medicine, it is unrealistic to just wear more clothes.Gu Lian decided to study how to solve this problem. King Zhuang saw that he had nothing to do, so he left the carriage.

Before getting out of the car, he also bowed his hands to Gu Lian in admiration.

Although what Gu Lian said was the most basic tactics, for a boudoir woman, knowing these is already very impressive.King Zhuang didn't have the nerve to tell them that when he went to fight in the Southwest, he couldn't compare to Gu Lian now. At that time, he was just a brat, he only knew how to go on a rampage, and he didn't know any tactics at all.

Gu Lian shook her head with a smile. She just wanted to say that she was actually talking on paper, but then remembered that she had led soldiers before. The term "speaking on paper" seemed inappropriate, so she had to put it another way, and humbly said that what she was using was nothing more than fluff.

Qiao Mingyu looked at Gu Lian with bright eyes: "Ah Lian, you can actually fight!"

It feels like there is nothing Ah Lian can't do.

"I only know superficiality." Gu Lian was a little embarrassed, "The generals of the previous dynasty have long used these tactics, and I am just picking up the wisdom of others."

Qiao Mingyu shook her head: "Don't think that way, the simpler the tactics are, the more effective they are."

Complex tactics have too many variables, and their actual use is not as good as simple tactics.If many magical military tactics in history are actually used, it is basically a dream.It used to be able to succeed because of the right time, place and people, and there were too many inevitable coincidences in it, but now even if these conditions seem to be met, the enemy might not be fooled.

"I have led thousands of soldiers to practice tactics." Qiao Mingyu said. Although she has no actual combat experience, she has played a lot of simulated tactics.The old emperor indulged her and let her do whatever she wanted, so although Qiao Mingyu had never led a soldier, everyone had strong confidence in her.

Many veterans have watched her rehearsals and are full of praise for her. It only takes a few battles for this princess to really grow up.

Gu Lian gently held Qiao Mingyu's hand: "Don't be nervous. Your brother and I are supporting you behind you. Even if you lose a small battle or two, it won't hurt. Winning or losing is a common matter in military affairs. Temporary gains and losses don't matter. The real winner is the one who has the last laugh. Leave the wounded to me, and I will escort you from the rear."

The Xiongnu were busy grabbing food, but they didn't know how much medicine they had.Another advantage of the Tianxi Dynasty is the medical conditions. Compared with the nomads, the Tianxi Dynasty doctors who have a comfortable environment and concentrate on studying medical skills are obviously more advantageous. Coupled with the medicinal materials allocated by the court, if they fight a protracted war, Tianxi soldiers will not be able to fight. Don't be afraid.

To put it cruelly, if the battle dragged on for a long time, even if the Huns did not die in battle, more than half of them would have died from injuries.

On the second day, they continued on the road, and they had to rush to the frontier as soon as possible.

months later.

Gu Lian raised the curtain of the carriage and looked at the majestic city ahead from a distance.

This is the city that was slaughtered by the Huns, and the walls are covered with traces of vicissitudes.It seems that the ground can still see traces of dark red color, as if stained with blood.It is said that when the city was recovered, the streets in the city had already been soaked in blood, mixed with the trampled snow, turning into thin red water and overflowing everywhere.

"Here we are, miss." Mei Xiang frowned slightly, as if she could smell blood on the tip of her nose.

Gu Lian lowered the curtain: "Today we will hand over the city first, and after the handover is over, I'm afraid we will have to go out to fight in the city."

This city is still relatively far from Min City, so the military camp is naturally not located here.The military camp is outside the city, and there is still a long way to go in the past.The carriage in the back is not easy to go. What Qiao Mingyu meant was that the left and right guards rode on horseback and brought these palace ladies and eunuchs who could bandage up, so hurry up.

I don't have any complaints about rushing. I will settle down in the advanced city and listen to the arrangements tomorrow.

"Only one day off."

The City Lord's Mansion has long been cleaned up, and Qiao Mingyu and his party will live here tonight.Several generals had already arrived to hand over to Qiao Mingyu, while Gu Lian went to rest with the girls.There is only one day, hurry up and go to the military camp, there are many things to do.

"Miss, why don't you take a bath to relieve your fatigue?" Mei Xiang didn't stop once she arrived, she was busy everywhere, and quickly prepared the bath water.

Gu Lian nodded: "Go and rest too, don't stay here to serve me."

Everyone was tired, Gu Lian had suffered a lot anyway, the girls were pampered and pampered for so long, they were really exhausted.Sitting in a carriage for a long time is also uncomfortable, especially if you are hurrying on time.

Screening off the maid, Gu Lian took a comfortable bath and almost fell asleep in the bathtub.Fortunately, Lingsu sent a message, asking if she had arrived.

"I calculated the date and you should be here soon."

Gu Lian wiped off the water, changed into obscene clothes, lay down on the bed, and then began to take care of the Lingsu.

"You just arrived today, and your calculations are quite accurate."

Lingsu is a little proud, he is a disciple of Chunyang, so there is no news that he is inaccurate.

"I won't say much else. You should go to bed early. I just came to tell you some important news. I'll make a fortune for you. Good luck."

Gu Lian: "..."

Fuck your sister's important news, she thought it was some confidential news that had been concealed for a long time, the kind that she had to wait until they got there to tell them.Gu Lian didn't bother to believe the fortune-telling of charlatans. Whether you are lucky or not, they will definitely win the battle anyway.

Lingsu hated not being able to understand Gu Lian, yet he didn't respond to his fortune-telling.His hexagrams have always been very clever, shouldn't Gu Lian thank him happily at this time?

"Hehe." Gu Lian cut off the call.

Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to tell the fortune-telling and send a message at the right time to disturb people's rest!

Gu Lian didn't even bother to say anything to him, turned off the system notification sound, and closed his eyes to sleep.

He slept so deeply that he didn't even know when Qiao Mingyu entered the room.

Qiao Mingyu obviously cleaned up the place, but she wanted to share a room with Gu Lian. Everyone dared not object and pretended that they didn't know anything.Qiao Mingyu didn't bother to care about them. After getting up early in the morning and packing up, she gave an order and set off.

Fortunately, Gu Lian didn't prepare a lot of medicines, and they didn't take up too much space. Otherwise, he would have to make a few carriages to pull the medicines, which would be very troublesome.

The camp outside the city was a little far away from the city, but it would take less than half an hour to reach it with a fast horse.They got up early, and the soldiers hadn't had breakfast yet, but they had already started their morning exercises.

In addition to King Zhuang, Qiao Mingyu's lieutenant general was also a general in the barracks. He had been stationed at the border all these years. Although he hadn't fought much, he was familiar with the affairs here, which just made up for King Zhuang and Qiao Mingyu. lack of.

The lieutenant took the initiative to lead the way and introduced the distribution of the camp to everyone.
