Two quarters of an hour later.
The smoke from the kitchen is completely extinguished.
After a short rest, more than 5,000 Yanjun soldiers mounted their horses again.
Immediately following the flags of the various ministries, they embarked on the march again.
It's just compared to the previous marching speed.
At this time, the overall marching speed of the Yan army was undoubtedly more than half slower.
besides.
The scouts of the Yan army were running five miles away from the Yan army's front army.
Compared with previous marches, it was more than half the number.
But the good thing is.
There were no disturbances in the last twenty miles or so.
Unknowingly.
It's almost time to apply.
More than five thousand Yanjun soldiers finally arrived at the designated camping place at the designated time.
More than two hundred of the most elite scouts of the Yan army.
At this time, he quietly turned back from the outside of Kunzanbu Ranch.
at the same time.
Beside the Dry River twenty-five miles away from Kunzan.
Xin Sixuan and Xu Yi, escorted by more than two hundred Chinese army guards, quickly walked along the dry river.
Finally, we selected a place that could be said to be both secretive and easy to defend and difficult to attack as the place to camp tonight.
"Wang Jingbo."
Xin Sixuan stood on the horse and observed carefully for a moment. After making sure that this place was the best choice, he immediately spoke.
"The general is here!"
The herald Wang Jingbo, who had been following the general since he broke camp, immediately rode forward after hearing this.
"Instruct all the generals to lead their troops to this place and set up camp immediately."
"Old rules."
"There are three trenches in front of and behind the village."
"The front trench and the rear trench are four feet wide and one foot deep."
"The middle trench is eight feet deep and one foot wide."
"The bottom of the trench is full of muskets."
"Before the sun goes down, I will personally lead a patrol."
Xin Sixuan ordered in a deep voice with a slightly serious face.
"Follow the order!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Jingbo immediately clasped his fists and accepted the order.
Then he drove his horse to the side of several heralds who were following closely.
Tens of breaths later.
Several messengers hoisted the Chinese army's assembly flag high and rode away quickly.
...
...
Time flies by unconsciously.
The scorching sun that originally hung high above the clouds was reduced to a blood-red setting sun in the blink of an eye.
In the temporary camp of the Yan army twenty-five miles away from Kunzan.
Xu Yi, Xin Sixuan and his party finished inspecting the camp and setting up defenses.
Just as he was about to turn back to the Chinese army's tent.
Suddenly several personal guards came quickly.
"Captain Xin, Chief Kang and Chief Cao are back."
The leading guard walked quickly to Xin Sixuan and Xu Yi, two steps away, and then leaned over to report to Xin Sixuan and Xu Yi with his fists clasped in his hands.
As for the Kang Bochang and Cao Bochang he mentioned, they were the two most outstanding uncles in the song of the Yan army's first expedition to the camp.
It was this second uncle who went deep into the outskirts of Kunzanbu Ranch to conduct investigations.
Moreover, in the whole "Xianden camp scout song", these two are the only ones who are worthy of the Thousand Mile Mirror.
"good."
Xin Sixuan nodded when he heard this, and then drove his horse forward again.
Not long after.
Xu Yi, Xin Sixuan and his party once again arrived in front of the Chinese army's tent.
"My subordinates pay their respects to Colonel Xin."
Xu Yi, Xin Sixuan and his party arrived in front of the Chinese army's tent.
Kang Shouxi and Cao Zezhi, who had been waiting in front of the Chinese army's tent for a long time, immediately stepped forward to greet them.
"Let's talk in the tent again."
Xin Sixuan turned over and dismounted, then nodded slightly.
"yes!"
Kang Shouxi and Cao Zezhi heard this and immediately held their fists together again.
talk
The sound ends.
After Xin Sixuan, Xu Yi and his party entered the Chinese army's tent.
Kang Shouxi and Cao Zezhi waited for more than ten seconds to ensure that no one would enter the Chinese army's tent again.
Then he walked towards the Chinese army's tent.
"Where is the Kunzan tribe's camp located on the ranch now?"
Kang Shouxi and Cao Zezhi arrived at the Chinese army's tent.
Xin Sixuan, who was sitting on the Grand Master's chair, couldn't help but ask.
"Return to the school captain."
"Most of the Kunzan tribe's camps are concentrated in the middle of the ranch."
"It's about thirty-five miles away from where our army is now."
"According to my subordinates' observations, the number of soldiers and horses in the middle of the ranch is around 8,000."
"The other camps are scattered in the southeast, northwest and four corners of the ranch."
"According to my subordinates' observations, the number of soldiers and horses in this group is probably around 2,000."
Kang Shouxi and Cao Zezhi looked at each other, then stepped forward and reported truthfully.
And the reason why it can calculate the approximate number of soldiers and horses of the Kunzan tribe so accurately.
Naturally, his own abilities take part of the credit.
But more credit should be attributed to the first three generations of Xiongnu chanyus.
The Xiongnu lived in pursuit of water and grass, and their whereabouts had always been erratic.
Long before the first Xiongnu chanyu unified the grassland.
The Xiongnu tribes often fought over the pastures, and sometimes even went to war with each other.
In the early days of the Xiongnu's unification of the grasslands.
There was even a tragic fight between more than ten tribes over a piece of pasture, resulting in more than 20,000 casualties among more than ten Xiongnu tribes.
The number of casualties is limited to a certain extent.
It was no less than a large-scale battle with the Central Plains Dynasty.
That's why.
since this incident broke out.
During the rest of his ruling career, the first Xiongnu Chanyu devoted himself to dividing territories and pastures for the major tribes of the Xiongnu.
After more than ten years of hard work.
The territory and pastures of the six kings and generals of the Xiongnu and the twenty-four chiefs are generally clear.
After the death of the first Shanyu.
The Xiongnu dignitaries wanted to tear up the agreement on territory and pasture.
That's why.
The second generation Xiongnu Chanyu who took over the position of Chanyu.
In the first half of his ruling career, most of the time, except fighting against the Central Plains dynasty, was basically spent on balancing the territorial disputes among the Huns.
During this period, a battle between the four kings and generals of the Huns even broke out.
The cause of the incident was that a large tribe under the command of the left general was trying to seize the pasture of a medium-sized tribe under the command of the right general.
Directly send troops to kill all the warriors in the medium-sized tribe belonging to the right general.
The women, cattle, sheep, war horses and pastures of his tribe were all swallowed up by the large tribe under General Zuo.
Naturally, such a major event cannot be done without leaving any trace.
After the incident, the right general directly led his army to surround the large tribes under the command of the left general, hoping to seek justice for the exterminated tribes.
The right general wants to seek justice for the tribe that was destroyed under his command.
How could General Zuo watch helplessly as a large tribe under his command was destroyed?
If he was indifferent to this, what would the tribes under his command think of him afterwards? Where will General Zuo's prestige be placed?
After repeated negotiations to no avail.
The Xiongnu general on the left immediately gathered his troops and rushed to the front of the general on the right.
The battle between the two princes began.
Later, the left and right Xiongnu generals in the battle asked for help from the left and right Xiongnu king Guli respectively.
finally.
An extremely brutal battle between the four Xiongnu kings and generals broke out.
Had it not been for the second generation Shanyu who led his troops to the battlefield in time and personally mediated.
No one knows where the battle between the four Xiongnu kings and generals will ultimately lead the Huns.
This matter is concluded
After the end.
During the second half of his reign, the second generation of the Xiongnu Shanyu directly gave up war with the Central Plains dynasty.
Then focus all your energy on the ministries and ranches.
later.
The territories and pastures of the Xiongnu tribes.
It took more than fifty years.
Finally, the end of the third generation of Xiongnu Chanyu came to an end.
Since then.
Among the six kings and generals of the Xiongnu, the twenty-four commanders of the Xiongnu, and the medium and large tribes of the Xiongnu.
If it weren't for the life and death of the tribe, there would never be any fighting.
Those who are good at using weapons and weapons will be punished by all the Xiongnu tribes.
As for small tribes.
In the eyes of the Xiongnu dignitaries, the annexation of small tribes was indeed their blessing.
No one will interfere.
That's why.
Every year comes the time when aquatic plants are abundant.
All medium and large Xiongnu tribes will invariably divide the tribal herdsmen into two parts.
The old, weak, sick and disabled, as well as women and children, drive cattle, sheep and young children to graze on small and medium-sized pastures in the territory.
The young men drive the adult cattle and sheep to the largest pasture in the territory for grazing.
Wait until winter comes.
Only then will the entire tribe gather together again to brave the cold winter.
At this time of year, the Xiongnu tribes counted the adult livestock in their tribes and paid tribute.
When paying tribute, the Xiongnu nobles only counted the number of adult cattle and sheep, and used this to determine the amount of tribute.
For this reason, in the eyes of the Huns, cattle and sheep calves are not counted as tribal property.
And the pasture located twenty-five miles away from Yan Jun.
It is the largest ranch in Kunzan.
At its peak, the Kunzan tribe grazed nearly 150,000 cattle and sheep on this pasture.
...
...
The Yan army made a temporary camp.
Inside the Chinese army's tent.
Kang Shouxi finished speaking.
The huge Chinese army tent couldn't help but feel silent for more than a hundred seconds.
After more than a hundred breaths.
Xin Sixuan, who was sitting on the Grand Master's chair, looked at Kang Shouxi and Cao Zezhi again.
"Has the map been completely remade?"
Xin Sixuan calmed down for a moment, then asked in a deep voice.
The map held by the Yan army is not always static.
Whenever Yan Jun's scouts bring different news, Yan Jun will always remake the map immediately.
Then it was distributed to every general of the Yan army.
"Return to the school captain."
"The map has been prepared."
Kang Shouxi and Cao Zezhi answered in unison, cupping their fists.
The words are over.
Kang Shouxi and Cao Zezhi quickly took out the map from their arms.
Then he handed it to the leader who was coming towards him with both hands.
Then the leader Wen Xin presented the case to the top table.
Xin Sixuan received two self-made maps from the hands of leader Wen Xin.
Then he displayed it on the table and made a quick comparison.
After seeing that there was not much difference between the two maps, and both marked the location of the Kunzan tribe's general tent and the distribution of the Kunzan tribe's troops.
Xin Sixuan just looked away from the map, and then looked at Kang Shouxi and Cao Zezhi again.
"well done."
"After this battle, you two will definitely have a lot of credit."
Xin Sixuan calmed down for a moment, then spoke in praise.
"Thank you, Colonel Xin, for the compliment."
"It is an honor for us to serve the prince."
Upon hearing this, Kang Shouxi and Cao Zezhi couldn't help but have a look of joy on their faces, and then they quickly leaned over and saluted with deep clasped fists.
"Let's go back to camp and rest."
"You will be busy tomorrow."
Xin Sixuan heard this but didn't
Youde nodded, then chuckled.
"yes!"
Upon hearing this, Kang Shouxi and Cao Zezhi once again cupped their fists and saluted.
Then he quietly exited the Chinese army's tent.
After Kang Shouxi and Cao Zezhi completely left the Chinese army tent.
Xin Sixuan then picked up the two maps, stood up and left the Taishi's chair, and immediately walked to Xu Yi.
"My lord."
"Although the maps produced by Kang Shouxi and Cao Zezhi are somewhat different from the maps currently used in the army."
"But overall the difference is not that big."
"Please have your Majesty take a look."
Xin Sixuan leaned over and presented the map in his hands with both hands.
"good."
Xu Yi responded lightly, then took the map from Xin Sixuan and checked it carefully.
After half a stick of incense.
Xu Yi returned the map in his hand to Xin Sixuan again.
"Make a few more maps later and distribute them to the generals."
Xu Yi calmed down for a moment, then opened his mouth and gave instructions.
"yes."
Upon hearing this, Xin Sixuan took the map with both hands and immediately clasped his fists in response.
The words are over.
Xu Yi stood up from the lower left corner and immediately walked to the map placed on the side of the tent.
Then he picked up a slender ink stick and slightly modified the original map.
After a stick of incense.
Xu Yi reviewed it again and again, and after ensuring that the modifications were correct, he turned slightly sideways so that Xin Sixuan, Leader Wenxin and others behind him could face the map more intuitively.
"Although the current location of the Kunzan tribe is different from what was noted on the previous map."
"But the difference is not too big."
"After the map is remade, this problem will be solved and will not cause trouble to our army."
Xu Yi reached out and clicked on the changed map, and then spoke in a deep voice.
The words are over.
Xu Yi took a pen and marked the distribution and number of soldiers and horses one by one on the map.
"Although the actual number of troops of Kunzan is two thousand more than our army previously estimated."
"But after repeated inspections, I found no need to change the strategic plan previously set by our army."
"I wonder what Captain Xin thinks?"
After dozens of breaths, Xu Yi put down the slender ink stick in his hand, and then turned to look at Xin Sixuan not far away.
This time when the Yan army used troops against the Kunzan tribe, Xu Yi was still the main commander and the one who formulated the overall strategy.
And Xin Sixuan was there to help as he had done the previous two times.
Whenever Xu Yi made a mistake in his strategy or command, Xin Sixuan would always point it out immediately.
Xu Yi will also reflect and correct it as soon as possible.
However, after two battles against Hungary, Xu Yi left little room for guidance to Xin Sixuan.
Sometimes Xu Yi's control of the subtle battle situation and the overall strategic direction even slightly surpassed Xin Sixuan's.
The Yan army temporarily camped in the Chinese army's tent.
When Xin Sixuan heard this, he was not in a hurry to answer. Instead, he furrowed his brows and continued to deduce and weigh the entire strategic plan in his mind.
After a while.
Xin Sixuan's frown gradually relaxed.
"Go back to your lord."
"According to the general's opinion."
"There is no need to change our army's established strategy."
"We just need to do a good job in the psychological development of the soldiers in each unit."
Xin Sixuan calmed down for a moment, then clasped his fists and answered.
"That's it."
"Then let's summon the generals."
Xu Yi nodded slightly and then spoke.
"Follow the order!"
When Xin Sixuan heard this, he immediately cupped his fists and took orders.
Two quarters of an hour later.
The generals of the Yan army gathered in the Chinese army's tent again.
After Xin Sixuan reported everything the scouts had discovered.
Not only did the generals of the Yan army not show any signs of
With a look of fear, everyone is gearing up to fight even more.
As far as the generals of the Yan army are concerned.
The current situation is nothing more than two thousand more enemy troops than originally estimated.
With more than 5,000 Yan army officers and soldiers all wearing armor, and having the advantage of ordnance.
An extra two thousand enemy troops would only mean more effort.
Compared with the extra two thousand battle achievements, what is the extra effort?
