"Check the bow string, check the bow arrow, check the heavy arrowhead, make sure everything is correct!"
Wan Qi silently made preparations for the battle.
They have no fear of fighting.
Over the years in the grasslands, they have become accustomed to killing.
Half an hour.
The originally transferred war horses had also been sufficiently repaired, and the sentinels released by Hu Shui also galloped over.
"Reporting to the general, forty miles ahead, the vanguard of the Han army was found!"
"That's right."
"Go, lead them to the Aries Department, and the others, follow me on the flanks!"
"promise!"
——
"Report——!"
"General, the whereabouts of the Huns have been discovered!"
"Which way!"
"The foot of the east side of Yanzhi Mountain!"
"Okay! It's as expected by the general. Let the vanguard army and the front army come closer. The vanguard army will be the first to engage the enemy. Don't let the Huns get away!"
"The left and right armies will protect the flanks. Once other Huns are discovered, they will be involved and killed!"
"promise!"
Suddenly, both sides started taking action.
Hu Shui's Wanqi is small in size but fast.
There is no mistake in describing it as "as fast as the wind".
They almost stayed close to the left army and escaped.
Because the Han army's attention had been attracted by Jiqi Youyi to the Aries Division, their operation went very smoothly.
But going around is destined to take more time than walking straight.
By the time the vanguard of the Han army broke out in front of the astonished eyes of the Aries tribe, Hu Shui and the others had only made it a third of the way.
"Speed up! No need to be considerate of horsepower!"
As the flag waved, Hu Shui and the others accelerated further.
Going around the back is inherently risky.
Once discovered and the Han army reacted, Hu Shui's ten thousand cavalry might be surrounded.
Therefore, Hu Shui was under great pressure, but the numerical gap between the enemy and ourselves forced him to do so.
Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements. Today, Hu Shui finally understood the meaning of what Zeng Junshang said when he taught them the night class.
If possible, he would also like to take a stand and confront the Han army.
pity.
Not yet.
"drive!"
Mobilize the war horses.
Wanqi Youyi is like a gust of wind.
An arc is drawn in the vast Hexi Corridor.
The gods were on their side.
The Han army did not find them!
"Repair! Find the marching track of the Han army!"
"promise!"
Hu Shui calculated in his mind.
The Han army generally marched in five directions.
Front, back, left, center,
They had just bypassed the left army, which meant that the front army, the center army, the left and right armies were behind them, and only the rear army was left in front.
"After the rear army, there is the grain road. First attack the rear army at night, burn a batch to disrupt their position, and then search further back, hoping to find the granaries built along the way."
Hu Shui recited silently, closed his eyes, and regained his strength.
It was about another half hour.
The sentinel sent out returned.
"General, the Han army has not been found, but the marching traces have been found, and the direction is over there."
Hu Shui nodded.
"The front army is behind us, and the rear army is in front. They will come. You can follow the traces to see where they are."
"promise."
Not long after, You Yijun also repaired on the spot.
Eating dry food and drinking water.
Dealing with it.
The sun dimmed little by little.
Yanzhi Mountain Aries Department.
This was originally the territory of the Xiutu tribe, but after King Xiutu’s clan surrendered to Hu Shui, they all moved to Juyanze as early as last year.
All the pastures here were given to the Aries King.
At first, King Aries was happy, thinking that it was his own strength that made the Xiutu tribe retreat. He originally wanted to wipe out the Xiutu tribe's population, but with Hu Shui's You Yi army, he had no choice but to give up. .
But here we are today.
King Aries came to his senses, why was the Xiutu tribe afraid of him?
This was because they were afraid of an attack by the Han army.
"Damn it! I was tricked!"
"Warriors of Aries! Retreat!"
If you can't fight, just run away. This is the nature of the Xiongnu and the way of doing things in the grassland.
The Aries King called to the tribal warriors and prepared to abandon the tribe's herdsmen.
As long as you can still hold military power, you can't establish an Aries department anywhere.
The herdsmen are just like useless people, they can just rob them when they are gone!
But what he didn't expect was.
The Han army coming this time was fully prepared.
Those who fought with them were just the group of vanguard troops at the front.
The front army and the middle army rushing to reinforce them completely cut off their retreat.
The trend is set.
Wei Qing looked at the Aries tribe trapped in the Han army's encirclement from a height, with a relieved smile on his face.
"This time, I will definitely not fail His Majesty's trust!"
Night comes quietly,
The war in the Aries tribe has also ended long ago.
In this battle, more than 40,000 people from the Aries tribe were captured, more than a thousand enemies were killed, and tens of thousands of cattle and sheep were captured. What's more, the Aries King was captured!
"The Han army is mighty! The Han is mighty! Your Majesty is mighty!"
A long-lost victory ignited the pride in the hearts of the Han army.
Of course, it was more because they also had a share in the seizures.
Money moves people's hearts. This is an eternal truth.
In the big tent.
Gongsun He, the general of the Zuo Army, came to Wei Qing.
"Hahaha, Zhongqing, with this great victory, we have the nerve to go back and meet His Majesty!"
"The battle situation is not yet decided, so don't be too happy. The sentinel reported that most of the people captured in this battle were people from the Aries tribe, but the Xiutu tribe that was originally here has disappeared. Uncle Zi, I always have a bad feeling. "
Wei Qing's face was not as relaxed as Gongsun He's.
His eyes were fixed on the sand table, trying to find any trace of the Xiutu Department.
Gongsun He sighed: "Zhongqing, you are just too stressed. By the way, I came here to report something to you, and I almost forgot."
"What's the matter?"
Wei Qing glanced at Gongsun He.
"The left army today defeated three tribes affiliated with the Aries tribe, captured eight thousand people, and seized tens of thousands of cattle and sheep."
"You can just ask the guards to report these small matters. Why did you come here in person?"
Wei Qing was a little puzzled. Needless to say, there was no need to elaborate on the relationship between the two. In addition to being friends, Gongsun He was also his brother-in-law. He would definitely not forget him, so why did he come here in person?
"well."
Gongsun He took a breath.
"Zhongqing, respect him."
Wei Qing also sighed. He and Gongsun He were friends, and Gongsun Ao was Gongsun He's son. No wonder Gongsun He would be like this. Since the last battle outside the Great Wall, there has been no news from Gongsun Ao.
"Zhong Qing, I wonder if the Aries King knows the whereabouts of Jing Sheng? Could you let me interrogate him?"
"It's too difficult for you. Go ahead and get my badge."
What else Wei Qing could do was to let Gongsun He go.
After Gongsun He left the tent, Wei Qing shook his head and continued to stare at the sand table in front of him.
You Yijun.
The sky grew dark.
Hu Shui and the others had almost rested and were full of energy.
The sentinel sent out has not returned yet, and presumably they are still looking for the whereabouts of the rear army.
Hu Shui was not in a hurry and waited patiently.
Until the white moon hangs high in the sky, the earth is reflected in a vast expanse of white.
There was a noise.
Several You Yi beside Hu Shui pointed their bows sharply in that direction.
"General."
The person who came was the returning sentry, but there was only one person.
"General, we have discovered the location of the Han army's rear army, and the baggage team they sent has also been targeted by us!"
"Okay! Come on, brothers, mount up and take the army first!"
