Han Xin, who attacked, did not go out blindly.

Instead, Achar selected nearly a hundred Yuezhi young men and put them on war horses, of course the kind without stirrups and saddles.

Scattered among six battalions to serve as guides.

In terms of experience in fighting on the grasslands, the Han army was naturally inferior to the Yuezhi people.

When it was time to ask for help, Han Xin would naturally not say that he was too thin-skinned to do such a thing.

It's just that the level of force is higher and the method needs to be changed.

It doesn't matter whether he wants to be shameless or not, as long as he achieves his goal.

In fact, Han Xin was already considering whether he needed to recruit a group of Yuezhi people and let them serve as guides for the next Han army's expedition?

The Huns in front ran again, and the Han cavalry behind them were chasing them.

Along the way, the army led by Han Xin saw many lonely war horses and the corpses of the Huns cavalry lying not far away.

This was also expected, almost a one-on-one pursuit.

The Han army's war horses have superior physical strength. What do you think of the difference in horse breeds?

Sorry, these war horses of the Han army are the war horses of the Yuezhi people. If we really want to talk about the difference, there is not much. That is to say, the equipment of the Han army is heavier, so the war horses have to bear more weight.

But such an extra load cannot be offset by the Huns' horses that have traveled dozens of miles.

Soon, Han Xin gathered a large number of cavalry that had been chasing him.

Almost all of these people could no longer find the enemy in sight, so they started to return the same way and took the horses back along the way.

Well, at the same time, he was cutting off the ears of the Huns who had been killed previously to prove his military exploits.

Beheading people as a reward for war is an ancient practice many years ago, and it is too cruel. For soldiers, carrying a head on their body, isn't it heavy?

How convenient is it to wear one ear?

The Han Dynasty uniformly stipulated that the left ear should be used as the criterion, which also eliminated the possibility of one head being counted as two battle merits.

"General, you can see the camp from this steep slope." Achar said to Han Xin thoughtfully.

"How far is it?" Han Xin looked at the large slope in front of him and asked.

This is Han Xin's first time entering the grassland.

And the grassland also broke his understanding of the grassland.

I originally thought that the imaginary grassland should be flat and endless.

But the reality is that in many places, it is not an endless stretch of land.

It is more like a large mound with a group of small mounds, sometimes higher and sometimes lower.

The better part is that the mounds of soil are higher, but the slope is not too steep.

In places where the terrain is rougher, the mounds are higher and the slope is steeper.

The big mound in front of us is almost four to five hundred meters high.

Of course, it is impossible for Han Xin to realize that he is actually on the plateau now. This four to five hundred meters is just a relative height.

"There are still four hills beyond this. It will take about half an hour?" Achar said.

"Yes!" Han Xin nodded, and then asked: "Can the left and right sides pass?"

The reason why I ask this is because there are some places where people and horses cannot pass.

Therefore, if you are not familiar with the terrain and then come out to randomly direct operations, problems will definitely arise.

In history, the Han Dynasty made many mistakes because of this issue when it first attacked the Xiongnu.

The case where you only realize that the road is blocked when you get there is considered a good one.

The most maddening thing is that the flying general Li Guang led his army to wander.

But now, these do not exist.

First, Lu Jia was a very foresighted guy. He not only controlled the poisonous plants on the grassland, but also developed a set of survival rules and the skills to identify directions.

Although the Han army has not fully studied it, they still understand it more or less.

Secondly, there are Yuezhi guides like Achar around, and this is their pastoral area, so it is even more impossible to get lost.

"Can!"

"Instruct the front army on the left, center, front and left to encircle, and the center and right army to encircle on the right. The rest of the troops will reduce their speed and follow the general to meet the enemy head-on!" Han Xin immediately gave the order.

His purpose in this battle was to annihilate the Huns and then bring back the spoils.

For this purpose, a direct charge with 30,000 people would not work.

He had to have people outflank the Huns from both sides, cut off the Huns' retreat route, and then encircle and destroy them.

Otherwise, if 30,000 people charge directly, the Huns are not fools. Why don't they run away when they know they can't defeat them?

Head iron or what?

"Report..."

A quarter of an hour later, the scouts at the front returned to report.

"General, we found the Huns ahead, and there are many herds of cattle, sheep and horses, probably..."

The scout paused for a moment, scratched his head with a troubled face, and then said: "Anyway, there are many. I have never seen so many. They are densely packed all over the mountains and plains."

"How many people are there?" Han Xin didn't care about these trophies.

"There are probably a few thousand people, and they are very scattered," the scout said.

"General, they are controlling the herds of cattle, sheep and horses to prevent them from running around." Achar, who is proficient in herding skills, quickly explained.

Grazing on the grassland is also a laborious task. Several people need to stand in different directions to watch. Otherwise, if a sheep, cow or horse runs out and you don't see it, there will be a herd right after.

Therefore, when grazing, if the number of horses is more than a hundred, it has always required more than two people. The greater the number, the more people are needed, but in comparison, the greater the number, the greater the need for people.

Less.

Thinking of this, Achar seemed to realize another possibility.

Then he subconsciously asked: "About how many hills did you see?"

"Four or five?" the scout thought carefully.

"No, it's at least a million cattle and sheep, and our tribe doesn't have that many. It should be that they attacked other tribes and drove the cattle and sheep over." Achar said immediately.

The hills here are huge, unlike the mountains in other places, which are just gentle mounds of dirt.

The area of ​​a small mound may be as large as tens of thousands of acres, while a small one may be as large as thousands of acres.

If it were normal grazing, it would naturally be impossible for the cattle and sheep to be so densely packed. This would only happen at night.

It was still early in the evening, and the Huns were obviously ready to retreat at any time.

"Good! Great good!" Han Xin suddenly laughed.

Unexpectedly, the Huns are so cute, and they have already helped them gather the spoils of war.

But now, the Han army only needs to attack, and when the time comes, they can take it back with their heads and trophies, which will be a pleasure.

The sound of tens of thousands of galloping horses finally alerted the Huns, who thought it was the man they went to chase who had returned.

But when the figures of the Han army appeared in sight, the Huns realized the seriousness of the problem.

Of course, some people realized something was wrong earlier.

That is, the sound of galloping horses could be heard from almost all directions.

But the big guys didn't pay attention, and then such an embarrassing scene happened.

However, it was not only the Huns who were embarrassed, but also Han Xin.

There's too much loot, and the enemies are too few and too spread out.

How to fight this battle?

Directly?

The herd of cattle, sheep and horses were frightened and dispersed, wouldn't they still have a headache next?

So how to fight?

Han Xin suddenly felt that this method of combat seemed to have broken through his cognition and touched his blind spot of knowledge.

But Han Xin wasn’t too embarrassed. Wasn’t there a teacher around him?

"How do you Yuezhi people usually fight when encountering such a situation?" Han Xin asked Achar as if he was a boss commenting.

This is the difference between awesome people and ordinary people.

A great person will secretly learn your skills with a guidance attitude, while ordinary people can only solve their doubts by asking for advice.

"Surround them up, kill a few, and then they surrender..." Achar didn't realize that Han Xin was stealing troops, so he said directly.

What other methods can be used to deal with such rear personnel?
To be continued...
