Just when Zhao Junsheng thought that Tu Hezhen couldn't bear it and wanted to attack in groups, Rouran's army suddenly fled away again. It took two days for the sentry scouts of the dry army to find them again. A covert confrontation was going on, and news of sentry cavalry dying in battle kept coming.

Chapter 879

The camp was full of dust, and some dry cavalry were practicing. This was warming up for the upcoming battle. What is the purpose of warming up?Naturally, it is to enter the state as quickly as possible.

The sound of horseshoes and shouts of killing kept coming to the commander's tent, but everyone in the commander's tent turned a deaf ear.

Minister Xu Yan said: "Your Majesty, I think something must have happened, otherwise Rouran would not have escaped suddenly, and almost escaped our scouting pursuit!"

General Su Ji stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the general thought that the Rouran people must understand that we know their purpose, and their sudden escape may be because they want to continue to confuse us, let us show our flaws, and our food and grass are also gone. It is limited, and it is impossible to consume it indefinitely. Tuhe really wants to use up our patience first! I speculate that the Rouran tribes in Mobei have begun to break up or move out on a large scale. The army has nothing to gain, and the Rouran people only temporarily lost the grassland, but in fact their strength is not lost, so Tu Hezhen can rest assured to spend with us and finish us before our other two armies arrive!"

At this time, a small official came in, and he walked up to Zhao Ping and whispered something in a low voice.

After hearing this, Zhao Ping's face changed a few times, and after sending out the little official, he went to the middle and saluted Zhao Junsheng: "Father, I just received the news from General Weijuan that he marched northwest along the direction of Sushui. In the past few days, several Rouran tribes have been destroyed, and a lot of them have been seized, but in the past two days, I found that the Rouran tribes along the way have all moved forward, leaving nothing behind, and the Rouran people are still leaving dead sheep in the water source And dead cows polluted the water source! This greatly delayed the progress of the Central Army, because the soldiers had to set up camp every day and stop to dig wells to get water and boil it before drinking!"

The ministers and generals suddenly started talking in low voices.

Dongfang Chen stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this news has confirmed General Su's conjecture. It seems that Tu Hezhen has ordered all the Rouran tribes in Mobei to move away, leaving only an empty grassland, and our other two armies are still there. It may be attacked by the plague at any time! I believe that the news from the Eastern Route Army will be sent soon, and as expected, it should be consistent with what the Central Route Army said!"

Zhao Junsheng pondered for a while, and asked: "Does the national teacher have a good strategy?"

Dongfang Chen thought for a moment, then cupped his hands and said: "I think that since the Rouran tribes on the marching road have moved away, there is no need for our other two armies to march along the fixed route. They should change one after another, but the destination remains the same. Let the other two armies go straight into the Rouran Khan Court, so as to prevent the army from being infected with the plague as much as possible!"

"As for our journey, I think we should also change our established strategy. Now Rouran Khan Tuhe really has enough time to deal with us with the pack of wolves. Once he seizes the opportunity, all his troops will be ready They will frantically pounce on us and bite us, we must take the initiative to attack!"

"How to attack?" General Chang Kun asked.

Dongfang Chen smiled: "General Chang, the national division is only responsible for making suggestions for His Majesty, and the specific combat tactics are not what the poor should worry about, and this is not what the poor are good at!"

Zhao Junsheng got up and came out from behind the desk, walked back and forth in the big tent with his hands behind his back, stopped and asked: "It's time for our army to take the initiative! Generals, how should we fight this battle?"

In terms of military affairs, the generals of the Qian Kingdom are already very well-educated, especially the younger generation of generals. These people are in their 30s, when they are in the prime of life, and they have enough time to study military affairs.

Su Ji stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, to deal with the wolves' tactics, the general thought that we should use the wolves' tactics to fight against them, but the Rouran people have the upper hand in terms of strength, this is our shortcoming, at the end There will be a suggestion, first find a way to clear the Rouran sentry cavalry around our army, and then concentrate our forces to destroy one or two of the Rouran people with lightning speed, and wait for the Rouran people to react. We are no longer dominant, and we have no chance to do it at that time, but we can use wolf pack tactics!"

Afterwards, the other generals also presented their own ideas, but Zhao Junsheng still felt that only Su Ji's tactics of using wolves to fight against wolves was the most suitable, and the tactics of other generals could not be fully implemented under the current circumstances. Although the possibility of success is there, the chances of winning are not great enough.

Only the tactics proposed by Su Ji are easy to implement and have a great chance of winning, but relying solely on the tactics of wolves is not enough, even if they win, the losses will be huge.

"I have decided to adopt the wolf pack method combined with the guerrilla method. The specific tactical arrangement is as follows..."

Under Zhao Junsheng's explanation, the ministers and generals all understood Zhao Junsheng's intentions. Several generals got their combat missions, and the other generals who did not get the combat missions stayed by Zhao Junsheng's side for the time being.

In the first battle, for the sake of safety, Zhao Junsheng chose Xue Andu, a veteran, to lead the army. He said he was a veteran, but in fact he was less than 50 years old, but his qualifications were the oldest among the generals on this trip. .

In order to block the news, Zhao Junsheng ordered several small groups of cavalry to conduct a carpet search within dozens of miles around the camp, forcing out all the Rouran sentry cavalry hidden nearby and besieged them. Man became deaf and blind.

Not long after night fell, Xue An set off with [-] cavalry. Zhao Junsheng sent Su Ji as his deputy. Su Ji was one of the first batch of Wu Jinshi. , I started to learn martial arts after joining the army. I studied hard and practiced hard in the army, and scored the top few in the martial arts examination with my superb archery skills. This caused a great sensation at the time.

At that time, his group of martial arts scholars were all in high positions now, but none of them had the experience of leading the army alone, especially without the experience of being a leader alone. Zhao Junsheng asked Su Ji to serve as Xue Andu's lieutenant general because he wanted to give him a workout Opportunities, famous generals are all trained, no one is born to fight.

The task of Xue Andu and Su Ji was not light. They had to lead troops to attack 150 miles at the fastest speed, and launch an attack before dawn. The target was the [-] Rouran cavalry at the southeastern foot of Zhuoxie Mountain in the southwest.

There is not much time left for Xue Andu and Su Ji, they must lead their troops to arrive four hours before, and leave half an hour for the cavalry to prepare for battle.

In the middle of the night, the army had been marching for two hours, and all the horses were panting.

The scouts in front reported on time just now, indicating that the situation ahead is normal, Xue An turned his head and asked, "How far have you marched?"

Su Ji immediately asked loudly: "Remember the drum chariot, how far has it traveled?"

A small official immediately replied: "General, we have traveled nearly ninety miles!"

Xue An immediately ordered: "The whole army stops advancing, rest at the same place for a while, and those who need to shit and pee should be dealt with quickly, give some water and beans to the horses, and eat some dry food to maintain strength!"

After the military order was conveyed, the soldiers reined in their horses and stopped advancing. They jumped off their horses one after another to feed the horses with water and food. If they needed something convenient, they quickly ran to the side to solve the problem, and came back to eat some dry food and drink some water.

Su Ji took out a cake and handed it to Xue Andu: "General, eat some!"

Xue An took out a cake and waved his hand: "You eat yours, I have it myself! By the way, we are marching in the right direction, right?"

Su Ji said: "At the end of the road, the generals checked the road signs. They were left by scouts. They went to reconnaissance two or three times, and there was no mistake. Moreover, the direction indicated by the compass car is also correct. It's right!"

"In this way, I am relieved. If I go in the wrong direction, it will delay the battle opportunity! How do you think this battle will be fought?"

Su Ji thought for a while, then clasped his fists and said: "The security posts at night are generally set up within ten miles of the camp. It is easy to find the clear posts, but it is somewhat difficult to find the dark posts! I will think that we should extinguish the torches as soon as possible to prevent Our whereabouts were discovered by the enemy's guard post! When we are almost near the enemy's guard post, we will run at full speed. Even if the enemy's guard post arrives at the camp before our army to report, it will take time for the enemy's [-] soldiers to gather. We have enough time to crush them before they complete their assembly! Besides, as long as the enemy guard post is exposed, our scouts can still chase and kill them, and they may not have a chance to rush back to report!"

Xue An smiled and nodded, expressing approval to Su Ji's suggestion: "This is a good idea, as expected of one of the first batch of Wu Jinshi. After studying and training as a soldier, he graduated with excellent grades. No wonder His Majesty values ​​it so much. You, no one else has the chance to be my lieutenant general, but you are the only one who comes out on top!"

Su Ji smiled and clasped his fists and said: "I also ask the general to support you a lot. If there is anything wrong with the general, you can beat and scold him!"

"It's easy to talk about supporting and supporting. I don't dare to beat and scold. You guys are the heart of His Majesty. In the future, I, a bad old man, can't ride a horse, fight a war, or lead a soldier. I still hope that you, the successors, will take care of me. Our old age is too bleak!"

Su Ji quickly said: "That's impossible, the general is a hero of the general, and now he is in his prime. With your body, even at the age of 70, you can still ride a horse to fight. Besides, we juniors still need some advice from the general. You won't go the wrong way!"

"Hahaha..." Xue An laughed, looking very happy, and reached out to pat Su Ji's shoulder, "I like you kid, and it's no wonder you improved so fast. Apart from your own hard work, you will Talking is also one of your great strengths!"

After eating the bread, Su Ji looked at the hourglass next to him, and said to Xue An: "General, it's almost time!"

"Well, order all the soldiers to mount their horses, put out the torches, and the army will move on!"

When the order was issued, everyone got on their horses. The soldiers in front quickly rode forward, and those behind quickly followed.

Chapter 880

At the beginning of Yinshi in the early morning, Xue Andu and Su Ji led an army of [-] troops to a location twenty miles northeast of the Rouran military camp.

"Stop advancing, and send someone to contact the scouts who are monitoring here. This general needs to know the specific situation of the Rouran Army twenty miles away!"

"No!" Su Ji made arrangements immediately.

The army stopped advancing, the horses were panting heavily, and the soldiers began to feed and water the horses again. They also ate and drank some water, and relieved themselves. The battle was about to begin, and all preparations had to be made.

Soon, Su Ji came over with a scout and reported to Xue Andu: "General, this is Xu Li, the head of the scout who has been monitoring Rouran Army here!"

Xu Li, the leader of the scouts, saluted Xue Andu: "The villain has seen the great general!"

Xue An looked at Xu Li and nodded: "Xu Bingtou and his brothers have worked hard. What is the specific situation of this Rouran army? Who is the leading general?"

"Back to the general, the villain only had a chance to infiltrate into the vicinity of the Rouran camp two days ago to investigate. After feeding the mosquitoes all night, he found out clearly. During the day, he hid in the weed cave and cat for a whole day. Only at night did he have a chance to withdraw. This Rouran cavalry has a full 2 horses. At the beginning, there were only [-]. Later, [-] troops were transferred from the north to join forces. "

Xue An thought for a while, "It seems that Tuhezhen still attaches great importance to Qiliegui. He gave him 2 people. The task of Qiliegui should be very important, otherwise Tuhezhen would not assign him any more [-] soldiers and horses! Is there water in the [-] soldiers and horses? Are there any old, weak, sick or disabled?"

Xu Li shook his head: "No, I took advantage of Rouran's guard post to desert yesterday and climbed out of the grass cave to investigate, and I can confirm that the [-] Rouran soldiers are all strong and strong adult men! "

"Have you found out the specific combat strategy of the Rouran people?"

Xu Li couldn't help but smiled wryly: "The general praises the villain too much. The villain is just a scout. I'm afraid there are not many people who know such secrets inside the Rouran people. How can the villain He De detect such a secret?" Important secret?"
