Quick victory.
This was a strategy that Wang Lin had already decided on in his mind before he came to the northern border.
After driving the Hu people out of Daxia, let’s not worry about how to count the days. But for these territories that have been occupied by foreign enemies, he wants to get them back as quickly as possible.
For nothing else, just because these territories are in the hands of the barbarians, I am afraid that both the people and the resources in these territories will be sucked up bit by bit by these barbarians.
The first is resources. The barbarians occupy the north, so there is not much material capital.
But now it seems that there is plenty of military rations. No matter how you guess, you can guess that this is probably because they looted the local granary and used the granary in the local city as a military ration supply place.
Secondly, there is population.
Judging from the previous executions of those women in the camps, these barbarians were not prepared to rule these Daxia subjects for a long time at all.
They also know that Daxia is already declining.
But with their strength, they will definitely not be able to stop Daxia's counterattack.
Therefore, from the beginning, this invasion was a war for the purpose of plundering resources.
Under the rule of the Hu people, all the subjects of Daxia must be looking forward to the arrival of the king of Daxia.
It is even possible that such news has spread to those three cities.
If we were to seize the city at this time, it would be almost the right time, right place, right people, and there was no reason not to win.
But if it is delayed for a long time, I am afraid that not only will these barbarians have the opportunity to take root in these cities, but even the people in the cities will have complaints against the imperial court.
Therefore, the crusade against the barbarians must not be delayed!
…
Three days later.
When the grain and grass finally arrived, Jin Yiwei also brought good news to Wang Lin.
Wang Lin had previously wondered whether Jin Yiwei's statement that he found barbarians nearby was because there were some barbarian camps nearby.
If this camp really exists, will the Hu people come to this place again after their last defeat at Uda?
After the Jinyiwei's intensive observation in the past few days, it was found that this camp did exist in a valley not far from the Daxia army. But here, the Jinyi guards saw no trace of the Hu leader Uda.
This valley is very hidden. If it weren't for Jin Yiwei's excellent tracking skills, he might have missed this place. Originally, Wang Lin wanted to let this stronghold go and see if there were any barbarian secrets nearby.
Just like fishing to make a nest, Wang Lin didn't want to disturb the fish in the pond at this time.
But what I didn't expect was that today, the fish actually came to the door by itself.
Today, Wang Lin was watching Li Yunze's training on the school field. Although he didn't understand military formations, looking at the unpredictable formations in front of him, he felt the magic of the eight golden locks in front of him.
Suddenly, a thin messenger soldier rushed towards Wang Lin's position.
"Your Highness, there is an urgent secret report from the Jinyi Guards!" He glanced at Dai Tianye at the side alertly and said.
"It doesn't matter, General Dai is one of our own, just say so." Wang Lin said quietly while looking at the changing military formation in front of him.
Seeing this, the messenger nodded, cupped his hands and said, "The Jinyi Guards just came and said that the group of barbarians stationed nearby are gathering their troops and marching in the direction of our camp!"
"Depending on the situation, there are probably 10,000 to 20,000 people. According to the current marching speed, our camp should be surrounded in less than an hour!"
"Ten or twenty thousand people?" After Wang Lin heard this, the expression in his pupils changed slightly.
Originally, according to Jinyiwei's intelligence, there should only be about two to three thousand Hu people in the valley.
Now that there are so many people suddenly there, there should be only one possibility!
A small group of reinforcements from the Hu people have arrived!
Because the city occupied by the Hu people was relatively close to here, they could increase their troops relatively quickly. Wang Lin's follow-up troops set out from the capital, so they naturally arrived slower than them.
Wang Lin thought for a moment, then said to Dai Tianye on the side: "Reform the team and prepare to meet the enemy!"
This decisive reaction made Dai Tianye a little stunned.
As a general himself, he asked himself whether he could make up his mind so quickly after hearing the news. But Wang Lin in front of him immediately made a clear judgment.
He cupped his hands to Wang Lin beside him, responded and immediately began to prepare to organize an army to resist the enemy.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, there are ten or twenty thousand enemies. We..." The messenger thought Wang Lin didn't hear what he just said, so he repeated it again.
"The king has spoken to the stronghold to meet the enemy! Is there any problem?"
Listening to the messenger's doubts, Wang Lin shouted angrily in a deep voice and directly pushed back his words.
On the battlefield, the lower the position, the less they need to question. All they need is obedience.
Only Dai Tianye on the side knew that Wang Lin's move seemed absurd, but in fact it was the most correct choice at the moment.
In today's camps, wooden piles have been driven into the ground and connected to form a wall surrounding the camp. On this wall, defense and observation positions are also reserved.
If someone wants to use the same method as last time to rob the camp today, they will probably come back empty-handed. After all, with this tall wall, it is almost impossible for the cavalry to play a major role in the attack.
What they are afraid of now is encircling the camp.
If the Hu people gather their troops and settle the camp nearby, they will isolate the Iron Hand Camp from the following troops and cut off all food, grass and supplies in the camp.
In a few days, the camp will collapse without a fight!
So now, it seems that Wang Lin still has a choice. But in fact, they have no choice.
The gate of the camp has been opened, and thousands of soldiers from the Iron Hand Battalion filed out. Set up a formation in the open space in front of the camp and wait for the arrival of the barbarians!
About one stick of incense passed, and the Hu army of more than 10,000 people finally arrived.
I saw a young Hu general taking the lead, wearing armor in front, riding on a horse and marching slowly forward.
And behind them is the real Hu army!
An army as strong as beasts, with eyes filled with the desire to kill!
When the young general at the front of the team saw a group of Daxia troops waiting in front of the camp in front of him for a long time, his expression suddenly changed.
But when he saw clearly that the number of people in front of him seemed to be only a few thousand, he started to laugh.
Da, da, da, da.
As the sound of hoofbeats came, the dark-skinned Hu general came to the formation of the two armies and shouted:
"With just so many people daring to go out to fight, is Daxia really a sick dragon now that can never fly again?"
"In this case, I, Toga, will accept your military exploits!"
