Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 286: Dark Chess Shot 1
After discussing with all the generals, Xiongnu Shanyu felt that the encirclement and suppression of Gongsun Xu was more valuable and easier to realize. Although it would not seriously damage the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army, if Gongsun Xu was defeated head-on, it would be of great benefit to the Northern Xinjiang Army. It is undoubtedly a big blow for the camp.

In order to do a good job in this siege, the confidentiality work must be done well, especially the northern army camp should not be allowed to find out the news, otherwise, the Xiongnu may end up with nothing.

There are 23 cavalry from the Huns in the camp of the Northern Xinjiang Army. The Huns relied on these cavalry to suppress the Northern Xinjiang Army in the camp. The number of people in the army must not exceed [-]. Once the number of people is transferred, the generals in the northern army camp will definitely be aware of it.

On the other side of the main camp of the Xiongnu, there are 12 cavalry. The main responsibility of these people is to guard the camp. After all, there are a lot of military supplies, cattle, sheep and horses in the camp, and their responsibilities are also quite heavy.

After the Xiongnu Shanyu thought about it again and again, he felt that his personal guards had not participated in the siege of the northern army camp. He could think of a way from this aspect. If 3 or 4 people were transferred from other troops, this action would be too obvious So he decided to mobilize [-] troops from his personal guards. Anyway, the duty of the personal guards is to protect him. Now that so many people have been transferred, the northern side will not know, and then he will mobilize [-] soldiers from the main camp. Ten thousand to [-], so that there is enough confidence to defeat Gongsun Xu.

When the Xiongnu army was mobilizing, neither Gongsun Xu nor Gao Shun knew about it. However, Gao Shun was estimating the date. He thought that Gongsun Xu should send troops soon or already. After all, his side had been besieged for more than 20 days. Now, if the siege is not cleared, the food and grass in the camp will become a problem.

On Gongsun Xu's side, after merging the hidden [-] infantry, Gongsun Xu did not continue to advance. He sent someone to explore the surrounding terrain, but chose to camp on a mountain twenty miles away.

At the same time, in order to prevent the enemy from tampering with drinking water after being besieged, Gongsun Xu ordered the army to dig more wells and must do a good job of water storage. All the luggage was transported to the top of the mountain for the time being.

Zhang Jai, Huang Xu and other generals don't understand why Gongsun Xu wants you to do this. You know, this place is more than 60 miles away from the camp of the Northern Xinjiang Army, and the army has to march for a day to arrive. My side is here so quickly. How can camping pose a threat to the Huns?How can I go to the rescue camp?
Even if you want to set up camp, it should be appropriate to set up camp thirty or forty miles ahead, so that you can form a pincer attack on the Xiongnu army.However, Gongsun Xu tried his best to resist all opinions and insisted on camping on the mountain, and at the same time strictly ordered the generals to go out to fight privately.

Before setting up camp, Gongsun Xu personally led people to survey the surrounding terrain and soil. There are plains all around, just such a high mountain, and there are several lakes a few miles away. To be on the safe side, wells must be drilled early on the mountain.

After finishing all this work, all the generals asked Gongsun Xu why he chose to camp here, which seemed a little afraid of the enemy and did not dare to move forward.

However, Gongsun Xu just replied indifferently: "Wait, when the situation suddenly changes, our army can advance."

All the generals thought that Gongsun Xu was referring to the Huns coming back to besiege him, and then General Gao Shun at the camp would take the opportunity to break through the Huns' defense, and then the two armies could be merged into one. It depends on when Gao Shun can lead an army to defeat the Huns.

However, what the generals didn't notice was that when Gongsun Xu was speaking, his eyes were looking towards the west.

There are many nomadic tribes on the prairie, and they belong to various major forces. On the prairie, there are a few tribes that are really worthy of the name, namely the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qiang, and Wuhuan and other larger tribes. However, Bingzhou To the north, on the prairie from Xiliang to the east, the Xiongnu, Xianbei and Qiang are the most powerful.

There are often frictions between these three major forces, and even wars will break out. In order to coexist peacefully, the three parties have consciously drawn a vacuum zone in the adjacent areas of the territory, and the three parties have acquiesced in the existence of this area.

No tribe or force has ever dared to occupy this territory. The reason is that no one dared to provoke the three giants on the grassland at the same time.

However, there is such a tribe that migrated recently, they seem to be unbelieving, and they just set up camp in this fast place.

On the prairie, groups of Qiang cavalry were rehearsing and charging in formation. Next to them, instructors whipped the disobedient cavalry with whips, and then cursed in blunt Qiang dialect: "You all owe it to me to fight, don't you? How can you fight like this? Do you think you are bandits? Fuck me. You are soldiers. Soldiers must be obedient. Military orders are like mountains..."

On a high platform in the distance, a young man dressed in Han Chinese was watching the training of the soldiers. Behind him, a general in white robes and silver armor had been watching with him for more than an hour. Then, the literati asked: "Ziyi, what are you doing?" How long do you think it will take to train them well?"

This white-robed general is exactly Tai Shici. He shook his head and replied: "It will take a long time. I don't understand the language, I don't understand the habits. It's okay to fight with the wind. If you lose a little, you will definitely run faster than anyone else. Last time I let the two A commander led a false defeat to lure the enemy to attack. As a result, the false defeat became a real defeat. Fortunately, there were only 2000 people, which did not affect our formation, otherwise, we would suffer a big loss at that time.

Such an army, let them kill, rob and bully the weak, they can run faster than anyone else, but let them fight against a well-trained army, I am afraid it will be difficult to sustain, the two commanders last time You didn't complete the task, and you kept pushing each other, and in the end, you were so angry that you chopped them all down. For this, you reprimanded them in front of these servants. The infantry guy still remembers it now, huh hehe. "

"Hehe." The scholar said with a faint smile, "At the beginning when we sent troops from Liaodong, our army had more than 3000 elite cavalry. More than [-] people have been killed, if this continues, what will our army do to fulfill the great trust of the lord.

Forming a servant army is also a way to be proud of the rags. Fortunately, the grassland tribes do not feel repulsive to us. Even if we attacked their homes and captured them, they are still willing to serve as soldiers under our hands.

Now, the number of servants is close to [-]. We must reorganize well. Time is running out, ten days at most, and we have to do big things. "

"But, military commander, there are still a few tails behind us. They have been watching us for a long time. If we leave now, it is difficult to guarantee that this side will not be attacked. When the family members of the servant army are taken captive, the army's morale will be confused. " Tai Shici said hastily.

"I know, that's why I ordered to train quickly these days." The scribe replied, "Tomorrow, we will cut off these tails."

This scribe is Xu Shu, the youngest military adviser in the Northern Xinjiang Army, and he was the supreme commander of this army.

"Have you found out which tails it is?" Xu Shu asked.

"The latest information in the morning shows that Tsingyi Qiang and Baima Qiang have joined in. Both are medium-sized tribes with less than 2 tribes, and the combined number of warriors is less than 1. The Bailan Qiang is more troublesome. The tribe has 5 people and can fight. There are more than [-] soldiers, and the Yak Qiang and Shen Lang Qiang are both large tribes with [-] people, and the combined number of warriors is no less than [-]." Tai Shici said slowly: "In addition, some Xiongnu forces are also attacking us. Approaching, the strength is about [-], it seems that they were invited by the Qiang people."

"They don't have an alliance now." Xu Shu continued to ask.

"There is no formal alliance yet, and even the camps are far away. It seems that they don't trust each other very much." Tai Shici replied: "The Tsingyi Qiang and Baima Qiang are connected together, and they are the farthest away from us. The Bailan Qiang is far away from them. More recently, it appears that the three parties seem to be allies.

Yak Qiang and Shen Lang Qiang each set up a battalion, with a distance of [-] miles between them. The area between them is very clearly divided, and there seems to be a gap. As for the Xiongnu tribe, they are on our left and have not yet followed them. Migrate together. "

"In this way, the enemy army is really not to be underestimated. The total strength is close to [-]. Alas, they are all fighters who are not afraid to fight." Xu Shu sighed.

Tai Shici laughed and said: "The military commander was joking. The [-] mobs are constantly suspicious of each other. I will lead [-] elite soldiers to break them. Moreover, it's not that they are not afraid of beating them, it's just that we didn't beat them badly. Just like a tribe, if we just wipe it out, there won’t be so much trouble.”

Xu Shu nodded and replied, "Forget it, it's really a disaster if you don't solve it sooner. Beat the drum and gather the generals to discuss and discuss together. We will dispatch tonight."

After a while, Xu Shu and Tai Shici were already waiting for others in the tent. Wen Chou, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua and others would come in one after another. Along with them, there were more than a dozen generals dressed as Qiang people.

After everyone arrived, Xu Shu pointed to a few circles on the map and said, "There are a few unkind tribes in these places, and they are already planning to besiege us. If others play tricks on us, talk about it, what should we do?"

Wen Chou and the others naturally understood what Xu Shu meant by the big event. When they heard these two words, everyone's faces were brightened. The rest of the Qiang generals didn't understand, but they didn't dare to be careless.

After seeing the circles on the picture and the distribution of troops marked on the side, the tribe laughed and said angrily: "Military division, we will dispatch tonight, and we will kill the two biggest ones."

When everyone took a closer look, Wen Chou's hand was pointing to the positions marked on the map of Yak Qiang and Shen Lang Qiang. There are about 4 people here, but they are stationed in two camps.

Xu Shu glanced at Wen Chou appreciatively, and then said: "Yes, tonight, we are going to kill these two big ones. If they hadn't taken the lead, there wouldn't be so many things. Everyone, regarding tonight's actions, Do you have any suggestions?"

Everyone whispered after hearing this, most of them were discussing how to fight at night.
