Text Volume Chapter 420: Beating the Drum to Promote Hunting

"Under the Yin Mountains, there is a kind of green wild ass. This beast is good at running. Even leopards, tigers and wolves cannot catch up with them. However, the Huns have a way of hunting wild ass."

"First try to capture a young donkey, tie its feet, throw it on the grassland, and let it neigh. The female donkey will come to the rescue after hearing it, and the donkey herd will follow closely behind. In the end, they will all fall into the trap of the hunter... "

Standing on a high hill, I saw two thousand cavalry galloping out of the Qin army camp, chasing the Huns cavalry going south. Xu Bu Sheng, the leader of the Huns on the right, showed a satisfied smile.

"The Qin people's grain team is like a young donkey, and the two thousand galloping horses are the mother beast!"

Although this time he started to lure the enemy from the Qin people's only flawless food team, Xu Bu Sheng's final target was the Qin army and the two thousand cavalry of Yan Yanrong!

Therefore, early in the morning, he asked Gudu Hou Huyanlan to lead two thousand people to leave the camp and go south with great fanfare, in order to lure out the only mobile force of the Qin army.

Seeing that the plan was completed, Xu Bu Sheng asked the knight to immediately notify the thousand Huns at the foot of the mountain to mount their horses immediately! He rushed to the Qin camp, rode on horseback and made noise, as if he wanted to attack the camp!

He had no interest in the Qin camp with deep ditches and strong walls. He did this just to prevent the Qin people from sending troops to support the two thousand cavalry...

And he himself, along with the other two thousand Huns, immediately rushed south to attack Qin's cavalry together with Huyanlan!

Although the Qin cavalry is well equipped, their riding skills are not necessarily better than those of ordinary Huns. With two enemies against one, they can no longer be wiped out!

"If the two thousand cavalry can be deceived, defeated and killed, the Qin people will be left with only foot soldiers, like a wild donkey with a broken leg. Even though its hooves are as hard as iron, it can only lie there, waiting to be divided by wolves. Food. By then, within a radius of hundreds of miles, it will be easy for the Huns’ horses to gallop, block the roads, and destroy their food teams!”

"Commander Lieutenant, the Huns moved to the south and blocked the road, but they were only a mile away and made a lot of noise. They made several attempts to attack, but after our army fired several rounds of crossbows, they all retreated. No one wanted to Come closer!”

Fu Zhi was ordered to climb the Huamachi City Watchtower to observe the enemy's situation from a distance, and then reported back to Heifu. He felt that the Huns' behavior today was very unusual.

"It's exactly what I expected."

Heifu understood: "It seems that they don't have the guts to attack my camp. These more than a thousand Huns are arranged here to bluff and prevent our army from continuing to send aid..."

But the Huns' acting skills are a bit poor, so they have to come and try to fight.

Heifu had previously guessed that when attacking camps and intercepting grain, one part of the attack must be real and the other part must be fake. Since the Huns were bluffing outside the camp, then the group of Huns heading south should have gone straight to the grain team!

However, there is another possibility. Heifu thought that the Huns commander would not be that smart...

"They want to lure all our cavalry out, gather them together and annihilate them!"

After destroying the mobile troops of the Qin army and the Xiongnu cavalry, they can do whatever they want.

The appetite of the Huns is so huge! But this greedy wolf is not afraid of biting the iron plate!

No matter which path the Huns choose, Heifu's side will remain unchanged in response to all changes. Everything will be done according to the instructions Heifu whispered to Yiqu Bailang before he left...

"Send me the military order!"

The Beidi County Lieutenant became serious and ordered to Fu Zhi, Zhai Chong, Wang Wei, Wu Shiyan and others who were staying with him: "There are still four thousand infantry in the whole army, and the whole team is ready to leave the camp. Wu Shiyan, you also Go to the city quickly and tell Jun Yan that the two thousand men who have gathered in the city are also carrying weapons. They immediately leave the city and form a formation behind me to strengthen our army's momentum! Let Jun Yan climb the city again and see how I defeat it. Huru!"

Heifu waited for several days for the Xiongnu to take the initiative to ask for war.

"Now I really have a chance to fight!"

"Let's try it and see whether the Xiongnu's teeth are better or the Qin people's armor is stronger!"

According to the military law of the Qin Dynasty, the number of cavalry officers was five cavalry as a commander, ten cavalry as an officer, a hundred cavalry as a command, and two hundred cavalry as a general.

Therefore, Yiqu Bailang had a total of five Rong tribes and cavalry generals, who happened to be the five Rong tribes of Dayuan, plus one hundred good family sons brought by Qiang Hua.

When the cavalry marches, they basically move forward in order according to their formation. Qianghua was arranged in the middle, between the Beidi Rongqi and Yan Yanqi. The Rongqi in the front had fought in the Unification War after all. Although they were not as orderly as Liangjiazi, they were still decent, and the ones in the rear were Qianxu Yanqi is a patchwork of herdsmen, and the order is relatively chaotic, and they march in a chaotic manner.

Although his face was covered with dust raised by the horses' hooves in front of him, Qiang Hua couldn't help but get excited when he thought that his first light cavalry battle was about to begin, and he speeded up his horse riding.

Unexpectedly, the five cavalry teams in front of them all stopped in another dry salt pond to the south of Huama Pond. They were ordered to ride back on horseback and shouted: "Stop!"

Qiang Hua reined in his horse. The hoofs of the Liangjiazi cavalry stepped uneasily on the cracked and barren land. He didn't know why, so he left the camp for more than a moment and walked more than ten miles. He was still far away from the place where the grain team might be attacked. Why did it stop suddenly?

Could it be that the Huns who were going to attack the grain team were just ahead! ?

He immediately rode his horse and rushed to Yiqu Bailang, wanting to find out what was going on. When he got closer, he realized that Yiqu Bailang was listening to the waiting cavalry in the rear reporting on the newly discovered military information. He ignored Qiang Hua and shouted: " Immediately turn around, change the front team to the rear team, ride Beidi in front, and Yan Yan behind, and quickly march to the northwest!"

The soldiers of Ohara roared in agreement. Qiang Hua was surprised at first, but then he thought of a possibility.

"Captain, could it be that the camp was attacked by the Huns?"

Yiqu Bailang glanced at the young man and revealed a sinister smile: "No, the ones who will be attacked are the Huns!"

"The Qin army has all left camp and is slowly approaching south?"

Xu Bu Sheng originally planned to follow the Qin cavalry to a flat place twenty or thirty miles away, and then flank them with Guduhou, using four thousand to hit two thousand. This would catch the Qin people by surprise and kill at least half of them.

But what he didn't expect was that after the camp was attacked and harassed by the Huns, the Qin army, which was supposed to be guarded as usual, rushed out decisively!

It was as if his commander had figured out his plan!

The Qin army plus the Xiyan people from Huamachi City totaled six thousand, and they were well-equipped. The one thousand men left by Xubu Sheng alone could not stop them. The Huns always advance when they see advantages and flee when they see disadvantages. When the thousand miscellaneous cavalry saw the Qin army's dark ranks marching out one after another, with oars and shields in front, crossbows behind, spears and halberds reflecting the sun, they were completely at a loss. Not daring to take advantage of its edge, they could only retreat in all directions.

At the same time, he sent someone to catch up with Xubu Sheng, who had just walked a few miles away, and asked him what should he do now?

But the news that made Subsheng even more frightened was yet to come.

The cavalrymen from the north had just finished speaking, and several more scouts came from the south. They told Subsheng that the two thousand Qin and Rong cavalrymen who were following them from a distance stopped ten miles away in the south, and then suddenly turned around. , coming this way to outflank!

Subsheng was even more stunned now. He was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

"What a powerful Qin general. I set a trap for the wild donkeys, but unexpectedly I was surrounded by a herd of donkeys!"

Hunter and prey, their identities are instantly switched!

Xu Bu Sheng felt as if he had been hunting geese all day long, but today the geese pecked his eyes. Not to mention the frustration in his heart.

Now it was obvious that the Qin army would use a trick. After discovering the Huns' movements, they deliberately sent out all their cavalry to make the Huns think they had a trick.

But halfway through, he found that there were indeed Huns following him. Yiqu Bailang followed Heifu's instructions and suddenly killed a Huns. The purpose was to, together with the main force of the infantry in the camp, surround the two or three thousand Huns in Xubu Sheng, forcing them to fight!

"If I had known this, it would be better to secretly let all the departments disperse from the camp and just attack the food team..."

I still blame Xu Bu Sheng for being too greedy, and now he regrets it. The cavalry fighting outside the Great Wall not only expanded the battlefield area several times, but also the speed was astonishingly fast. Within a moment, the two sides will come into contact!

Now it is too late for Lord Gudu to come back to help. Three thousand cavalry are against six thousand infantry and two thousand cavalry, and they are attacked from two sides. This is obviously a losing battle. Xu Bu Sheng is not a fool. He did not draw his sword. , roaring and asking the Huns to follow him to fight to the death with the Qin people, but immediately observed their own position and thought about the escape route.

To the north, there are six thousand Qin and Rong infantry marching towards the south; to the south, two thousand enemy cavalry are galloping to the northwest to outflank them; to the east, there is a sparkling flower horse pond.

The only way to survive now is to rush out from a dry salt flat to the west before the encirclement is completely closed!

Subsheng made a decision. As long as they were fast enough, they should be able to escape before being surrounded.

"What should we do over there with Marquis Gudu?" asked a vulture shooter following Subsheng.

"General Qin is indeed decisive. He would rather leave the food team alone than come to surround and annihilate me..."

Subsheng knew that this strategy would end in failure. Even if he successfully escaped, many Huns would definitely fall into the encirclement, so at least he must earn something for himself.

"I made an appointment with Huyanlan before and asked him to wait in the hills to the south. If the Qin cavalry fails to arrive and I don't go to join him, he will immediately continue south and attack the Qin Army's grain team!"

"As long as the Qin people can burn all their food, the Huns will still win this battle!"

After thinking about it, he no longer hesitated. When he could already see the dust raised by the Qin cavalry in the south and heard the continuous sound of the Qin army's golden drums from the north, he blew the horn himself!

"Everyone, follow me to the west!"

"Ahhhhhhh!"

The low horn horns resounded through the wilderness outside the fortress, followed by the dense Huns cavalry, like a flock of birds gathering quickly, suddenly galloping away to the west.

On the military chariot, Heifu saw this scene from a distance. When he left the camp, his army had been divided into two groups. Four thousand people followed him to press to the southwest. Ao Ze led a thousand men each and rushed towards the dry salt flat in the west. Although human legs are definitely not as fast as horses, Gong Ao and the others walked in a straight line, while the Huns went south and then west, turning a corner. Counting the time it took for the Huns to learn that the Qin army came out of the camp and react, both sides should have Can arrive at the same time...

Ten miles away to the south, the battle-hardened Yiqu White Wolf did not need Hei Fu to send anyone to give orders, and he galloped towards the salt flats with keen acumen.

A battle in which infantry surrounded cavalry took place due to inevitable and accidental factors...

"This is the first time I have commanded a battle involving tens of thousands of people. Fortunately, there is a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, and I was fully prepared and did not get carried away."

Heifu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then pretended to be confident, pointing at the Huns who were running west in panic, and in a calm tone, he addressed Fu Zhi and all the good knights who were looking at him with admiration. road:

"Second and Third Sons, remember this scene. This is what is said in the art of war. Pursue the north and overcome dangers. The long drive will not stop. The enemy lies on both sides of me and cuts off my rear. This is the encirclement of the cavalry!"
