Early next morning.
Wei Qing stood at the ruins of the rear army's stronghold, with a very unkind look on his face.
The generals of the rear army were not harmed. Under the protection of their own soldiers, they fought their way out of the military camp last night.
"General, this general has neglected his duty. Please handle him according to the military law."
The general of the rear army knelt in front of Wei Qing with a dejected face.
Looking at him, Wei Qing said nothing, but looked in the direction of Han Di.
He guessed that Hu Shui was already attacking the baggage team transporting grain and grass along the way.
Just as he expected.
Youyi's army rushed all night, only briefly repairing for an hour, and then sent out a large number of sentinels to search for traces of the baggage train.
As soon as they are discovered, they will kill people and burn food.
Of course, Hu Shui is not worried about the military needs of the You Yi Army. The Han Army's baggage train is their baggage train, and all the way east is the supply line.
It's just that the end point of this supply line stops at the location where You Yi's army has reached.
This also takes advantage of the opportunity.
The Han army now has one and only one supply line, which is the supplies gathered from Beidi County, Anding County, and Jincheng County.
Hu Shui's purpose was to cut off this supply line, then turn around from Yinchuan and rush back to Juyanze from the grassland.
As for whether the Han army would set up a supply line again in the future, Hu Shui didn't care. His purpose was just to delay Wei Qing and the others and use their time to consume the materials of the Han Dynasty.
Its fundamental purpose is still to serve the Battle of Juyanze.
"General."
"Brothers from behind came to report that the Han army did not send troops to pursue us."
They also burned down a grain gathering place built by the Han army along the way.
A military lieutenant You Yi whispered in Hu Shui's ear.
"this"
Hu Shui was a little surprised for a moment.
This was completely different from the result of his deduction. In his opinion, the Han army at this time would be caught in the dilemma of continuing to approach or sending troops to pursue them and restore the operation of the grain road.
Unexpectedly, the Han army would decide so quickly, directly abandoning the rear food road and continue to march.
This Wei Qing is indeed as good as your Majesty said, a top-notch handsome man.
After Hu Shui learned the news, he immediately thought of Wei Qing's decision.
"Aries Department"
"The hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep are enough for them to feed them for half a month to a month. It seems that the man named Wei is going to attack Ju Yanze to fight to support the war."
"In this case."
"Send the order!"
"Repair in place for two hours!"
"promise!"
After a night of running, You Yi's army was also very tired. Although the horses were still full of energy, the people were a little unable to hold on. Not to mention that You Yi's army was still hunting the baggage team just now, and it was already operating at full capacity.
Now, two hours, four hours of repairing is enough for these soldiers who have emerged from the sea of blood from the corpse mountain to regain their combat effectiveness.
Repair in place.
The grain gathering place repaired by the Han army became a temporary stronghold for You Yi's army. Although the fire was still burning, it could be regarded as a barrier.
The soldiers of the Youyi Army, who had been marching all night, got off their horses tiredly and took out their marching rations from their saddle bags.
A square package wrapped in brown paper, and each man had ten packages in his saddle bag.
One pack is enough for one person for a day.
Flour, syrup, oats, and dried fruits are mixed together, steamed, and kneaded into long strips of dry biscuits.
One piece weighs half a kilogram, and even a person with a big appetite will not be able to finish this sweet and slightly off-flavored piece in one go.
In addition, there are fluffy meat floss with salt and sugar, which also weighs half a catty.
This is the dry food in You Yijun's dry food package.
It's not that delicious, but it definitely has enough energy, and one pack can last a whole day.
Youyi's army rested in small formations, with horses outside and people inside.
Zhang Qi attaches great importance to the soldiers under his command. People are the first priority in his heart. War horses and ordnance can be remade if they are gone. Zhang Qi, who has a world's resources in his hands, never thinks of materials. will be more important than people.
The four hours passed quickly, and not everyone was resting. Hu Shui's rider only rested for three hours, and spent the rest of the time fetching water.
Although the Han army did not pursue them, Hu Shui still continued to cut off their food routes.
He refused to accept the conspiracy Wei Qing gave him.
The established route was in Yinchuan, and Hu Shui would not turn around now and continue walking along the Hexi Corridor. That would simply allow the Han army to easily surround and kill them.
"The plan remains unchanged and we will continue to approach Han Dynasty."
"Set off!"
——
curtain.
North and west of Yinshan Mountain.
Zhang Qi's Liaodong Army and border troops were still playing around with the Huns.
On both sides, you tease me and I tease you, it’s so unpleasant.
It is simply a joy to be here, and I can’t help but miss Dragon City.
To this.
Yi Zhixie had no objection.
Zhang Qi has no objection.
Li Ze had no objection.
Uncle Zhang had no objection.
The soldiers below had no objections.
There is nothing better than being able to avoid death.
For Zhang Qi.
The Huns are no longer his strategic target, and now they are just a show for Liu Che.
And for Uncle Zhang Li Ze, it is even better.
The task given to them by their Majesty was to hold back the main force of the Huns, although they also wondered why the Huns were so timid this time.
But with Zhang Qi's record, they can be regarded as the Huns fearing Zhang Qi.
After all, this Marquis of Liao was a peerless ferocious man who had pushed the Huns to the ground and rubbed him since his debut. He was the only one in the Han Dynasty.
But what Li Ze didn't know was.
Although Zhang Qiren is in the grassland, his eyes are on Juyanze and the Hexi Corridor. The secret messages sent by the net every day have not been cut off since the confrontation between Hu Shui and Wei Qing.
"Haha, the Aries tribe saved the life of the Han army in the Hexi Corridor. Wei Qing's conspiracy is indeed powerful."
"It's a pity that he didn't expect the ability of the Sixth Generation Horse. After turning around from Yinchuan, the Yi Army in the upper reaches of the grassland will be complete."
"Let Weaving Network organize a group of people to replenish military ration packs for Hu Shui and others, and then let them return to Juyanze."
At the Chinese army tent, Zhang Qi waved his hand calmly.
"promise."
The dotted line agent left with his hands, mounted a fifth generation horse and left.
"How's it going with Huo Qubing?"
"No specific information was sent back, but the spies followed General Huo's route and found that no tribe survived wherever they passed."
"Haha, he is ruthless and smart enough. No wonder the Huns are not panicking at all. It seems that no one has noticed it yet."
"That's it. Notify Hu Ben, Ying Jian, and Zhu Xuan that the three armies will be stationed in Shanhai City and establish the Shanhaiguan defense line. We will also prepare the evacuation route."
"promise!"
Zhang Qi stood up from his seat and walked out of the tent with his hands behind his back.
Looking at the vast grassland, he looked back in the direction of Han Dynasty.
I was filled with emotion for a while.
The little slave who had a hard time escaping from the Huns a few years ago is now about to take the stage completely.
Han Dynasty, Huns, and barbarians.
"Are you ready to be trampled by the iron hoof!"
