Chapter 400 The Huns Are Coming(1/2)

For Guan Ying, there is no choice.

If the emperor asked him to divide his troops, there would naturally be a reason for him to divide his troops.

But no abnormalities were found during the march, and the Huns had already moved.

They have seen how wildly nomadic people are in war.

After going out for more than a month and fighting for thousands of miles, they did not meet a single Hun, even the old, young, women and children.

I would not meet people casually throughout the Huns, but I would not meet people when I went to Donghu.

So there was no point in dividing troops at that time, but now, it is necessary to divide troops.

"You bring 30,000 cavalry to search for the Huns on the grassland. The more the noise you make, the better. If you can fight, you will fight. If you can't fight, you will run away. I will take the rest of my men and rush south to help the border!" Guan Ying said directly.

"No!" Han Xin responded repeatedly.

There are not many 30,000 people, and the goal is just to create movement.

After Guan Ying finished speaking, Han Xin knew what he should do and what purpose he was.

Attract the main force of the Huns and hold them back and go south.

The cavalry that went south to the south was composed of 100,000 Xiongnu and Donghu surrendered troops, and the ratio of troops was unclear.

But it is still difficult to catch up with these 100,000 people. If you only go to 50,000 people, it will be even more difficult.

But 100,000 people could not go all, so that the Huns in the north could go south to support them at any time.

"I hope the border can withstand some time..."

Without hesitation, the two immediately divided their troops and livestock. Guan Ying took a large amount of livestock and women to go south, while Han Xin only brought a small amount of supplies to look for fighter planes around him.

For Han Xin, bringing too much is useless, and it will delay their mobility.

Anyway, this is the grassland, so he doesn't have to steal women anymore. He will kill the Huns when he meets them. He just needs to find a tribe to grab it if he doesn't have food.

After the division of troops, Han Xin immediately asked someone to go around to find the Donghu tribe.

The Huns were not clean. After taking down a tribe, they just took away the young and strong, took away a large number of livestock and war horses, while the others were kept on the spot.

Han Xin ordered people to find a guide among the rest of the people, and each tribe would bring a few people over.

The purpose is naturally to guide the tribes of the Donghu people around him.

I don’t know where my neighbor is, should I know?

Find a few more people and place them in different positions. Whether the news is true or false can be found by comparing it.

Guan Ying led 70,000 cavalry to move south quickly, and even the baggage team behind him could not take care of it.

Each soldier only brought dry food and dried meat to him for only five days, and five days were almost enough to get them to the Great Wall.

...

Yuyang County!

Wang Li temporarily regarded this place as his command center.

There were about 130,000 new recruits, plus the defenders of the five counties in the north, with about 200,000.

But the defenders still need to defend the city.

If the Huns went south, these cities were also very important.

So although Wang Li nominally led 200,000 people, in fact, there were still 130,000 people.

New recruits from the north have gathered in Yuyang County, with a total of more than 60,000 people, and some of them from other places have also come. Now Wang Li has more than 80,000 people under him.

The remaining 50,000 people will arrive one after another within the next half month.

In Wang Li's opinion, this army is a miscellaneous army.

Although it was formed according to the rules of the Han army's adaptation.

However, without systematic training from the Han army, all new recruits were recruited and officers were recruited directly from the previously disbanded troops.

This unit also has combat effectiveness, but it is far less than the one in Han Xin and Guan Ying's hands.

Of course, it may even be worse than the Qin army.

Under this premise, it is easy to imagine how much pressure Wang Li is in defending such a large area.

Therefore, Wang Li decided to give up the defense of the Great Wall on the border.

Anyway, there are so many gaps, I can't hold on.

So I won't stick to it.

They directly migrated all the people north of Yuyang to the south, or moved into the city, with the walls and cleared the fields outside the city, leaving nothing for the Huns.

It is unknown whether the Huns will go south, but Wang Li must be prepared for the Huns to go south.

Therefore, he told the emperor about the plan of the people moving south when he was in Luoyang.

The reason for doing this is actually to tell the emperor that Yuyang County may have no grains this year, so if the court asks me to go, it needs to prepare relief grain in advance, otherwise there will be problems at that time.

"General, the Huns went south, and there were almost 100,000 people..."

Just as Wang Li was still thinking, a hurried figure suddenly entered outside the door and said directly.

"It's true..." Wang Li nodded.

He was not surprised whether the Huns came or not.

Because when he accepted the appointment of the court, he was ready to come for the Huns.

"Send scouts to continue the investigation, and lead the Huns to Yuyang County at the same time!" Wang Li ordered softly.

"promise!"

Yuyang County is the battlefield he prepared.

This is also impossible, soldiers are not the most elite.

Even though Wang Li had ordered the training to be stepped up and prepared for the battle, the time was still too short and the effect was not great.

With simple field battles and lack of cooperation, it is difficult for the Han army to exert its maximum combat effectiveness.

So we can only rely on the city and cooperate with the infantry to defend.

There is no shortage of food for the time being.

In this month, Wang Li had transferred all the food around him, which was enough for his 130,000 troops to eat until autumn.

"Tell all the troops to go out of the city to prepare for war!" Immediately afterwards, Wang Li ordered again.

"Send people to go south and urge the soldiers who are still on the road to speed them up!"

"Remind the people in the city that a war is about to begin. If you have any doubts, you must leave the city before sunset today, otherwise you will stay in the city and not leave the house. Those who violate the order will do the law!"

"Tell all counties to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, and guard them strictly! "

Orders were issued one by one.

Under Wang Li's dispatch, Yuyang became busy in an instant, but he was not at all panic.

Each performs his or her duties and is clear and clear.

The first 80,000 troops arrived were arranged by Wang Li to defend outside the city.

After a few days of running-in, they were better than the recruits who were still on the road and didn't even know which general they belonged to.

As for staying in the city, sorry, Yuyang cannot accommodate so many people, staying in the city will only cause waste of troops.

Moreover, the Huns could not see how many people there were in the city.

Wang Li needs to show all his troops and use the battle formation to tell the Huns that my main force is here, so you have to attack.

That's right, it's time for everyone to line up, set up their formation, and wait for you to attack.

You're not here?

Go around directly?

It doesn't matter, it's OK.

Anyway, the situation behind is the same as here here. Even if you go around, the city gates behind will be closed, so you will be careful and not go out to fight.

Do you fight or not?

Continue to go around?

Then please.

Your main force has passed, and at this time I will directly jamm your logistics.

Under the policy of implementing the policy of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields in accordance with the orders, what will you eat for those 100,000 people?

So, you have to turn around and fight me, or retreat directly.

And if you go too far south, you will directly destroy your logistics and directly starve you to death.

Therefore, when the Xia Dynasty is fighting, don’t think that the two sides have set up their formation before starting the battle. That is a very stupid thing.
To be continued...
