Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 659
The Xiongnu army was storming the Hetao camp. They didn't care much about the sudden appearance of the Bailu army. After all, there were only 5000 people. For the time being, the Bailu army has not shown any malice. The Xiongnu army can only focus on it. In the business of attacking Hetao.

Gongsun Xu led the main army to station more than 70 miles behind the white antelope. There were 5000 people from the white antelope to cover the front. For the time being, there would be no news of the Huns coming to spy on them.

Moreover, since the rear army and horses have not yet approached, Gongsun Xu can only wait for the time being. After all, the rear army's cattle, sheep, horses, food and grass are related to the victory of the battle, and Gongsun Xu cannot start a war rashly.

"My lord, do we need to send someone to contact General Gao Shun?" In the big tent, Li Ru said to Gongsun Xu who was observing the map: "The two armies working together will easily defeat the Xiongnu army."

Gongsun Xu pointed to the map and said, "Tell me, after the defeat of the Huns, where will they flee, and how should we deal with the most likely situation."

Li Ru followed the direction Gongsun Xu pointed, and then replied: "There are only three roads, go east to join the Xianbei army, go west to return to the location of your tribe, and go north to escape to the grassland.

The selection order of the Xiongnu army is also the same. The best strategy is to join the Xianbei army in order to fight our army again. However, General Zhang Fei is about to cut off their retreat. As long as we move fast enough, the Xiongnu army will not have such a chance.

To the west, the Xiongnu army has no retreat, the western grasslands are already under the control of our army, and the lord has made proper arrangements. Besides, heh heh, the tens of thousands of horses on our side are not just for display.

Therefore, the most sensible choice for the enemy is to flee north, but if they flee north, the Huns will never recover. In other words, as long as we defeat the enemy, the Huns will never regain the situation.

Is the lord waiting for a perfect opportunity? If we don't take advantage of the enemy's awareness, I'm afraid our arrangement will be seen through by the enemy. "

"Soon." Gongsun Xu nodded and said: "Hedong's side is about to start, and Yide's side should reach the designated location. We will start within two or three days at most. Are the subordinates arranged?"

"The soldiers are high-spirited, just waiting for a decisive battle with the Huns." Li Ru cupped his hands and said, "the lord will lead them to fight, and they are all looking forward to it. My lord, as long as your name is heard on the battlefield, the Huns will still be able to survive." A bit of fighting spirit."

"After waiting for so long, it's finally almost here, hehe, Huns,,,,,,"

For several days, the main force of the Xiongnu army was busy fighting with the Hetao defenders. For this nomadic tribe that suddenly appeared, the Xiongnu Shanyu did not send anyone to visit or expel it. It has to be said that the Huns Shan Yu was a fool in fighting a war, and made such a low-level mistake.

In the Hetao camp, Gao Shun’s command staff resisted the onslaught of the Xiongnu army. These days, Gao Shun just let the recruits go forward to experience the experience. At that time, Gao Shun was also waiting.

"This is the lord's token." Outside Gongsun Xu's camp, a group of cavalry escorted a man running over. This man was covered tightly so that others could not see his appearance.

After entering the camp, a group of sergeants brought these people to Gongsun Xu's big tent. At this time, Gongsun Xu was discussing the military situation with Li Ru.

"Wei Zhong, the villain, met the general." The man knelt in front of Gongsun Xu and said, "The villain came from the east of the river and passed through the grassland. After more than ten days, he finally found the general."

Gongsun Xu put down the wooden stick in his hand, he nodded and looked at the other party and said, "How are you doing what you are asked to do?"

The man didn't reply, but turned his head to look at Li Ru and the others. It was obvious that he was afraid that there might be someone with a single heart in Gongsun Xu's place.

"These are my loyal subordinates, you can rest assured." Gongsun Xu said: "By the way, let me introduce you. This one is my military advisor, Mr. Li Ru."

"Li Ru, this, ah, you are Li Ru." The man stared at Li Ru with wide eyes and said, "Dong Zhuo's chief military adviser, the commander and planner of the Xiliang Army, is you..."

"Ahem, these are all things in the past, please don't bring them up again." Li Ru coughed twice and said, "I am now a subordinate of the general. Let the past things pass."

"Here, General, the matter you want to be sponsored by the family has been done now." The man looked at Gongsun Xu and said: "The [-] army has already set off and is now rushing here."

"Where are they?" Gongsun Xu looked at the map and said, "How long will it take to meet me?"

"It's been a day since we left Hexi and entered the grassland." The man replied, "According to the itinerary, I'm afraid it will take four or five days to arrive here. After all, most of them are infantry, and the speed is only so fast." "

"In other words, it's actually not a few hundred miles away from me." Gongsun Xu nodded and said, "That's fine, I'll send someone to meet them first, okay, go down, you've done a good job with this matter , I will send a thousand horsemen to escort you back, and bring me a letter to him by the way."

"No, the villain is taking orders." The man left with his arms folded, leaving Gongsun Xu looking at the map with an excited face.

Not long after, Gongsun Xu looked at Li Ru and said, "Get ready to fight, leave the big camp here, and send 1 people to guard the big camp, and the rest will follow me to attack the rear of the Xiongnu army, and try to capture the Hun army camp in one fell swoop. "

"Well, do you want to do it now?" Li Ru asked curiously: "It seems that the lord has already made arrangements. If this is the case, how will the lord plan to attack."

"I will lead 3 people to attack the Huns camp." Gongsun Xu thought for a while and said, "Let Hua Xiong lead [-] cavalry to the Hetao side to entangle the main force of the Huns.

Let Hua Xiong play his own banner, so that Gao Shun must know that I have made a move. At that time, he can also send troops from the Hetao camp to attack the main force of the Xiongnu army. Hum, it is a two-sided attack. I will see how the Xiongnu army defends. "

"My lord's plan is Yangmou." Li Ru nodded and said, "Our military strength and overall strength are higher than those of the Xiongnu army, so there is no need to engage in these conspiracies with the enemy.

That being the case, the villain will accompany the lord for a while, and this time, he will definitely take down the Huns army camp in one fell swoop and make them completely homeless, heh heh. "

After more than an hour, Gongsun Xu left enough troops to guard the camp, and then led the rest of the cavalry to attack quickly. Hua Xiong led 1 horses from his headquarters and ran towards the Xiongnu army on the Hetao side, while Gongsun Xu headed towards the Huns camp. kill.

When setting off, Gongsun Xu could order his subordinates to bring enough hoes, shovels and other earth-digging tools, as if they were not going to fight, but to work.

Soon, Gongsun Xu arrived at the camp of the Huns in less than two hours. For the whole winter, the Huns didn't do anything else, but built the camp tightly. From the outside, it was extremely difficult to attack.

"I borrowed from the example of our Northern Frontier Army's Northern Expedition." Gongsun Xu looked at the camp of the Huns and said, "They built a camp near the mountain, so that they can free up a lot of troops to resist the enemy that may appear. Huh, it is a good idea." thoughts."

"My lord, do you still want to attack directly?" Li Ru looked at the enemy camp and said, "This camp is well laid out. If we attack by force, I'm afraid we may not be able to take it before dark tomorrow." "

"That's right." Gongsun Xu nodded and replied, "These Xiongnu soldiers learn things very quickly. If so, then we will change our strategy and send orders to dig trenches outside the enemy's camp. If they want to defend, then I will They're all trapped inside."

"It's exactly what I want." Li Ru said with a smile: "In this way, although our army can't take down the Huns' camp for the time being, the Huns don't want to go back to the camp. Hehe, when they come back, I will see the Huns What will Shan Yu do?"

"Start digging forty steps outside the main entrance of the Huns camp." Gongsun Xu ordered, "Dig a trench that is strong enough to block the enemy cavalry, and then dig traps, trap horse pits, and arrange barbed wire along the road. The army waited on the periphery for the enemy to come back.

Wen You, do you think we should cut down some fire starters? By tomorrow evening, the Xiongnu army will fight Zhengfang for more than a day. Tell me, if they see that the camp is gone at this time, will they hurry up? What about withdrawing to the rescue camp? "

"My lord, what do you mean?" Li Ru frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Wonderful, wonderful, this couldn't be better."

While Gongsun Xu was busy digging trenches, Gao Shun had already learned that a group of friendly troops had arrived from outside the camp at Hetao Camp. Although there were only [-] cavalry, it was enough for Gao Shun to send troops.

"The lord is back." Gao Shun's perennially unmoved face finally smiled, and he immediately ordered: "Pass it down, all the ministries will prepare immediately, and set up a chariot formation to face the enemy tomorrow. Haha, I want to fight against the enemy." The enemy is fighting to the death."

Gao Shun has already sent the contract of war to the Xiongnu Shanyu. Hua Xiong left immediately after attacking the flank of the Xiongnu army. It was getting late, and he did not need to continue to attack the enemy. Besides, the real battle will be tomorrow. Only then will it explode. Everything I did today was just a warm-up.

In the temporary camp of the Huns, teams of cavalry were patrolling. The night before the battle, the Xiongnu Shanyu was very careful, especially the sudden appearance of [-] cavalry on the flanks today made him even more cautious. He also waited for a long time for this decisive battle .

Outside the rear camp of the Huns, Gongsun Xu was still busy digging soil and ditches. Looking at the brightly lit camp of the Huns, Gongsun Xu suddenly remembered the scene of the early Eastern Expedition to Xianbei. Continue to pick up a Qiang flute and play it.

Li Ru listened from behind, and after a few songs, Li Ru clapped his hands and praised: "My lord is proficient in rhythm, I admire you."

"It's just a few ordinary songs outside the Great Wall. There's nothing to admire."

"In the past, when Liu Bang besieged Xiang Yu in Gaixia, he just played a few Chu di tunes, which caused the Chu army's fighting spirit to collapse." Li Ru replied: "My lord, hehe, probably wants to use this trick to defeat the enemy now. Morale."

"I can't hide anything from you..."
