Chapter 339 Not a Little Challenging (4K)

Early the next morning, the snow still did not stop, and 1000 people were dispatched to open the way. Huo Shan led the remaining soldiers and horses, but did not set off again, but waited quietly.

Huo Shan gave an order to let Wusun's [-] soldiers set off immediately, and set off together when they arrived.

Seeing Xiao Hei flying over, Huo Shan stretched out his arm. After dawn, he asked Xiao Hei to go to Huo Guang and Zhang Anshi to ask about the situation there.

Xiao Hei landed on Huo Shan's arm, Huo Shan took off the letter and read it, and after a while he smiled.

Huo Shan handed the letter to Tian Qianqiu:

"There was a heavy snowfall, and the situation did not meet my expectations, but it is a good thing if there is improvement, let's go slowly."

In fact, it is also an option to carry it hard, and it is also an option to carry it through this distance, but the altitude sickness cannot be carried, so the only way to relieve it is to rest.

After heavy snowfall, the situation became even more critical, but the good thing was that the soldiers improved and the roads were smooth, so Huo Shan breathed a sigh of relief.

After waiting for a long time, the Wusun soldiers rushed up. Huo Shan took a look at the Wusun soldiers. There was no negative emotion on their faces, but they were full of expectations.

Huo Shan knew where their expectations came from. Before Huo Shan set off, he had informed all the soldiers of the situation to increase their fighting spirit.

So they knew that as long as they climbed over the top of the mountain, the damn snow would go away from them, so what they were looking forward to at this moment was to climb over the top of the mountain.

Huo Shan put down his hat and ears, got on his horse and fastened his cloak tightly, wrapped himself up tightly, blew a whistle, and waved to Sun Shang in the snowflakes falling all over the sky.

"Go and call Shangguan Jie, Zhao Puonu and Jun Xumi."

"promise."

After a while, the three of them were called over. After the three of them saluted, they waited for Huo Shan's order. He didn't write any ink, and said directly as he walked:

"There are still 110 miles to go down the mountain, plus the ten miles to the top of the mountain.

After going down the mountain, Dawan soldiers and horses were stationed on the mountain pass plain, Ben Hou had already asked Xiao Hei to investigate, a total of [-] soldiers and horses.

The [-] troops were still nearly [-] miles away from the coalition forces of Dawan and Kangju on the plain.

So add up, a total of 180 miles away.

The enemy has a total of 6000 soldiers and horses, and our army has [-] soldiers and horses.

But the enemy soldiers and horses have not finished the battle for a long time, while our soldiers and horses are all brave men, even our Wusun soldiers can fight three of them one by one.

It's no problem for Huangzhong to top six of them, and for Habayashi Tiger to top twenty of them.

Our army is on the mountain, rushing from high to low, and our army has no retreat, which adds to the morale, while the enemy has a retreat. The bravery is no match for our army, and they cannot stop our army.

Therefore, although the enemy's soldiers and horses are twice that of our army, our army has a great advantage. "

After Huo Shan finished speaking, he paused for a while, and gave the translator some time. After Jun Xumi finished listening, a confident look appeared on his face, and he cupped his hands and said in Guanzhong dialect:
"The end will be invited to fight."

Huo Shan glanced at Jun Xu Mi in surprise, and then laughed out loud, feeling very happy.

He wasn't happy because Jun Xumi claimed to be the last general, King Youguli called himself the last general, Huo Shan didn't have any attitude except for a little joy in his heart.

What made Huo Shan happy was Jun Xumi's attitude. Jun Xumi, the ruler of a country, had such confidence in him, so the [-] Wusun soldiers who had undergone ideological education would not be a problem.

"Shangguan Jie."

"The end is here."

"You go and get ten thousand Huangzhong."

"The last general takes orders!"

"Zhao Ponu, Junxu Mi."

"The end is here."

"The two of you command [-] Wusun warriors, each with [-]. Zhao Ponu is the leader, and Junxu Mi is the deputy."

"The last general takes orders!"

"I believe you have guessed it, this Marquis is going to attack Dawan Kangju's [-] troops.

First destroy the [-] soldiers and horses, control our army's route to Dawan, and then wait for the army behind to come and attack Dawan in one fell swoop. "

Zhao Ponu cupped his hands:

"I ask the Commander-in-Chief to order."

Huo Shan nodded and continued:

"This Marquis will take Yu Linhu with his light armor and take a step ahead to destroy the five thousand soldiers and horses at the foot of the mountain.

The three of you lead the remaining [-] troops, and you must reach the foot of the mountain at least at noon tomorrow. Our army will travel another [-] miles, and we will be able to attack the Dawan Kangju coalition forces the day after tomorrow.

This Marquis is not going to procrastinate, so make a quick decision. "

Zhao Puonu heard Huo Shan's words and said quickly:

"Great governor, the commander-in-chief should not move lightly, or let the last general go."

Huo Shan glanced at him and shouted:

"Do you understand?"

Zhao Ponu had no choice but to bow together with the two:
"I will understand at the end."

Huo Shan didn't look at them afterwards, took out the horn from the cloth bag on the champion, and then blew it. As soon as Habayashi Hu Ben heard it, his blood surged up instantly, and he quickly gathered forward.

Huo Shan then looked at Zhao Puonu and said:

"Take good care of Li Yu and Xiao Lizi for me, and take good care of Huben's heavy armor. Don't let anything go wrong."

"The last general takes orders!"

Huo Shan took a deep breath, rode his horse and walked forward.

This time Huo Shan himself had a reason to go, he wanted to keep the five thousand soldiers and horses in Dawan, he didn't feel at ease if others went.

Huo Shan came to the front of the whole army and waited for a while, then Yubayashi Huben gradually came to the front from behind.

Huo Shan rode his horse back and forth twice in front of the army, then turned his horse's head around and swung his cloak:
"Set off."

Seeing that Huo Shan was personally leading the army, Yulin Huben became even more excited.

With the sound of the whistle in the army, one by one the scouts rushed past Huo Shan and went forward to investigate.

It didn't take long for the [-] troops to walk ten miles from the top of the mountain. Huo Shan looked at the white snow field in front of him. According to scouts, there was still about five or six miles of snow.

As Huo Shan predicted, there was indeed no snow on the west side of the mountain range, but it fell a little five or six miles away from the top of the mountain.

Looking at the vast expanse of whiteness, Huo Shan couldn't tell the direction at all. If it wasn't for the wolves and the old horse that Huo Shan found, he would definitely go astray.

Then looking at the snow, Huo Shan thought of another problem, snow blindness, the snow is white, the reflection is very strong, it is dazzling after a long time.

But Huo Shan wasn't worried about this. It was only a few days, and there was no problem, and it was snowing all the time, and the sky was dark.

However, Huo Shan was going to teach the generals how to deal with snow blindness, so as not to encounter this situation in the future and forget about it.

"Sun Shang, tell you something."

"My lord orders."

"Teach you a little knowledge, and pass it on to Habayashi Huben in your spare time.

Snow is a thing that has been dazzling for a long time, and there is no way to prevent it, and there is no way to solve it. Today I will teach you how to deal with it. "

Sun Shang immediately pricked up his ears, he was also very interested in this knowledge.

What Huo Shan said unintentionally was deeply remembered in his heart.

Even if a person has no talent, as long as he studies hard and absorbs knowledge.

When marching and fighting, if he is able to deal with every unexpected situation, even if his strategy and command are not good, then he still has a chance to become a famous general.

Sun Shang knows that he has no talent, so he has been struggling on this road.

And he knew that there were too many talents in attacking, and he couldn't get ahead, so he chose to defend.

But this garrison is not the garrison of defending the city, the garrison of resisting the enemy, but the garrison of protecting the general.

"Coping with snow blindness is very simple. Send a piece of cloth to the soldiers to cover their eyes, and draw a small slit in the eyes, so that they can see vaguely."

Sun Shang nodded half-understood, then asked:
"Then, Commander, what color cloth is the best?"

Huo Shan glanced at Sun Shang, he really didn't know about this, Huo Shan scratched his head and thought for a while:
"Looks like light gray."

"The general will know."

As they were about to walk out of the snow, the terrain became lower and lower, and the sun came out, and the mood of the soldiers became better and better.

This is the same reason as after it rained for half a month and the sun came out, they were locked in a small dark room and then released.

Of these two examples, one is slightly lighter and the other is slightly heavier.

The gray weather is depressing.

The soldiers were also a little dazed. It was the first time they saw snow on one side of the mountain and clear sky on the other side, and they were a little shocked.

But they calmed down after a while, because they are the best soldiers in the world.

"We climbed the snow mountain on the other side of the mountain, and they basked in the sun on the other side of the mountain."

Huo Shan couldn't help sighing.

The soldiers and horses continued to march, and after another five miles of land, Huo Shan gave an order:

"The scouts went out for thirty miles to prevent the enemy from probing. The whole army rested for an hour, ate and drank water, and checked the horseshoes and themselves for frostbite.

Horses with frostbite are arranged to withdraw from the battle sequence, and people with frostbite are given medicine immediately.

Sun Shang, ask each team to report the situation, and you will report to me later. "

"The last general takes orders."

Half an hour later, Huo Shan got the situation of the whole army. There were only 47 people, and they were not serious.

Although it is snowing on the other side of the mountain, the temperature is not particularly cold.

The number of horses is a bit large, more than 600 horses have big or low hooves, and the number of horses that have not been carried by altitude sickness has exceeded [-].

But Yu Linhu and Ben are both war horses, and there is still no shortage of war horses, and they will be able to replace them with better horses next year.

Their current war horses can be brought back to the big man and used by the recruits.

Going back this time, Huo Shan is ready to expand the Huben Army.

Habayashi is his personal soldier, and it is not easy to expand.

There are 3000 people in Huben, which can be expanded to [-], [-] heavy cavalry, and [-] light cavalry. With the current situation of big men, they can be raised.

Use the old to bring the new, and after they have practiced for two or three years, they can participate in the war against Hungary.

With these [-] soldiers and horses, the Northern Army is the backbone, and the Sanfu sends out another [-] cavalry, and he personally leads the [-] army.

With this [-] army, the big man doesn't actually need to send troops to attack the Xiongnu, he just needs to make a defense line at the border.

The cost of the infantry is too high, and the cavalry can eat the enemy.

But Beidi definitely wants to participate, let's count it at [-].

In the Western Regions, the coalition forces of various countries sent [-] soldiers, the tribes under the Han Dynasty sent [-] soldiers, the Qiang land sent [-] soldiers, the tribes [-], and Xu Ziwei [-]. There is no way, as promised.

A total of 40 soldiers and horses were dispatched to contact the Huns in the north and the tribes in the mountains in the east. 50 is basically no problem.

And for the 50 soldiers and horses, the big man didn't pay much.

First of all, the Xiongnu vassal state and the tribes in the east don't need to worry about it, just share the spoils after the war.

The 20 soldiers and horses in the Western Regions, and the [-] soldiers and horses in the Qiang area, let them bring their own food and grass, but they must pay a little.

Give some cattle and sheep after the war, and give some money. The big man is not short of money, and he can use currency to spread his influence.

The remaining 17 soldiers and horses are what we really have to pay, but it is only in the early stage. After entering the Huns, the pressure will not be great.

This is 17 cavalry. If it was a big man in the past, he would not be able to get it out.

But after Huo Shan's several wars and his own development, the national power of the Han Dynasty has become stronger and stronger. Even if it doubles to fight the Xiongnu, what will happen?
.........

In the afternoon, when the sun was still high, Huo Shan brought his soldiers and horses to ten miles away from Dawan's five thousand soldiers.

The road up and down the mountain is not flat, so Huo Shan and his soldiers stayed at a bend, but because of the scouts, they haven't found it yet.

Huo Shan is now waiting for the scouts to investigate.

You don't need to know the specific situation, you just need to find out their general situation and where the soldiers and horses are stationed.

After waiting for almost three quarters of an hour, the scout returned.

"Report to the Governor, Dawan's soldiers and horses are divided into two parts, a group of [-] soldiers and horses will be stationed at the foot of the mountain ten miles ahead.

The other [-] soldiers and horses were stationed by the lake forty miles away. "

Huo Shan was taken aback for a moment, and Sun Shang immediately began to mutter:

"This general Dawan is out of his mind. There are [-] soldiers in total, and they are stationed separately?"

Huo Shan looked at the simple map, and he understood a little bit:

"At the foot of the mountain is a flat land, there is no river, and there is no water source. Two thousand soldiers and horses can still be transported, but five thousand soldiers and horses can be transported to the water source every day, and nothing can be done.

But they are divided into two parts, such a distribution, I do not understand. "

If it were Huo Shan himself, he would divide it into two parts to protect the horns, but he would put both parts by the lake, a little further to the south, so that it would be easier to evacuate when the enemy army came, so as not to have a last stand Appear.

"Call the teams over here, and I'll tell you about the situation."

After a while, the teams were summoned.

"The enemy has two winds, two thousand and three thousand.

The enemy's camp does not have fences and walls. It is easy for our army to attack, but it is also easy for the enemy to escape after being defeated.

My goal is to let none of them escape. "

Seeing the generals nodding, Huo Shan continued:

"However, this battle is also easy to fight, Sun Shang, you lead the tiger and go straight to the two thousand soldiers.

You don't need to worry about the subsequent things, you take the three thousand tigers and go directly to the south side of the three thousand enemy troops by the lake with your speed.

Then 2000 men and horses will be divided into east and west formations, and 1000 men and horses will be on guard. You only have one task, don't let these [-] enemy troops escape alone.

After I take Habayashi to deal with the two thousand enemy troops, I will bring troops over. We will attack back and forth, and eat some of these three thousand soldiers and horses. Do you understand? "

"I will wait until I understand."

"Then put up the flag, blow the horn, and go!"

Sometimes fighting is so simple, the gap between the enemy and ourselves is too big, and there is no challenge at all.
