Ten days later...

"General, the Huns suddenly accelerated their assembly!"

"Huh? How fast!" Listening to the scout's report, Han Xin felt that something was not normal.

"At the fastest speed, they even gave up a large number of livestock. They seemed to hope to use the livestock to hold us back and find a chance to escape!" said the scout.

"You don't want the free benefits? Haha, order troops, take them all as ordered!" Han Xin couldn't help but sneered.

So what if the Huns were playing tricks?

Anyway, winter is coming soon, so if you can catch one, it’s one, but if you can’t, it doesn’t matter.

Being able to capture a large number of Xiongnu livestock was also very cost-effective for the Han army.

These cattle and sheep were also a considerable amount of wealth for the Han army.

Of course, whether it’s money or not is another matter.

The most important thing is that throwing away these livestock made the Huns, who were not too wealthy, even poorer.

This winter, more Huns will die.

"That's not right!" Li Zuoche was also thinking about this issue.

What kind of battle has he not fought over the years?

I have to say that the current behavior of the Huns is very abnormal.

"Continue to check to see if the Huns around our troops fled in a hurry, or if all the Huns are like this!" Li Zuoche immediately ordered.

"Are you suspicious?" Han Xin thought for a while and felt that it was a little impossible.

"I suspect that the Huns may take action, but whether it will be good or bad is not yet certain!" Li Zuoche nodded.

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. He wouldn't understand such a simple truth.

If it is said that the Huns gathered to survive the winter, this would be easy to understand.

But judging from the experience of fighting against the Huns during this period, Li Zuoche felt that the other party did not look like a fool.

The other party is also somewhat resourceful and even knows how to send people to conduct a surprise attack.

Although it failed, it was a failure in terms of combat effectiveness, not a failure in tactics.

Wouldn't it be successful if the same tactics were applied to the Han army?

In essence, the tactics executed by the Han army today are the same as those executed by the Huns.

What should the Huns do most at this time?

They should have ordered all the ministries to spread out more widely.

Because only in this way can we ensure the safety of the Xiongnu tribe to the greatest extent and allow more tribes to survive.

On the battlefield, it does not mean that you have to assemble immediately to be correct.

According to the current battlefield situation, it is not suitable for the Huns to assemble.

The more scattered they are, the more difficult it will be for the Han army to clear them out, and the longer the time span will be.

In this way, when winter comes, the Han army cannot clear out all these people, and winter not only affects the Huns, but also the Han people.

Li Zuoche felt that if he were a Huns, he would definitely not choose to assemble at this time, or give up livestock, a necessary resource for life, to assemble.

Instead, we should order the troops to continue spreading and wait until winter comes, when the Han army has to withdraw from the battlefield, and then assemble again.

Although this time is not suitable for gathering, for the Xiongnu, this is the best time.

And by choosing to gather at this time, doesn't it mean giving the Han army a chance to kill them all before winter?

This is unreasonable!

This decision is completely inconsistent with the wisdom previously displayed by the Huns.

Although it may be a decision made out of confusion, it may also be that you feel that you can't survive and plan to have a fight to the death?

In short, this incident gave Li Zuoche the feeling that something was wrong.

Five days later again...

The scouts who went to investigate have already sent back information.

In fact, there is no need for the scouts from the Chinese army to go all the way to investigate.

The troops on the front line also noticed something was wrong, so they sent people to investigate further.

Then what I saw were patches of unsupervised livestock wandering around aimlessly on the grassland.

We even captured prisoners...

"Now it's confirmed, the Huns must have some ideas!" Li Zuoche said to Han Xin with great certainty.

"Yeah! The Huns are trying to lure our main force to fight them!" Han Xin nodded.

"In a decisive battle, the Huns are even less sure!" Li Zuoche nodded first, then shook his head and said: "Maybe they want to use winter to restrict us?"

"There is a possibility that we are short of supplies for the winter, and we must rush to the coal mines in northern Beilu within twenty days to spend the winter. If we go to fight them now, it will affect the established plan, causing us to have to wait for the winter before winter begins.

We can’t rush to Beilu." Han Xin said.

It was still summer when they came, and all the supplies for the winter were at the rear.

In addition to the previous plan, Han Xin also asked people to send all the supplies to Beilu to wait. As long as he did not seek death, the Huns could not stop him.

So, there is no need to send supplies here and then take them over.

But now that the Huns have done this, the Han army will feel very uncomfortable.

Is this over?

Now it's too late to ask people to send supplies over.

Are you not going here?

The Huns gave such a good opportunity.

Suddenly, Han Xin thought of another possibility!

"I know..." Han Xin suddenly said.

"I know it too!" Li Zuoche said with the same smile.

"If all the Huns were to gather, there would probably be as many as 200,000 people. If we wanted to annihilate them all, we would have to go at least 200,000 people, or even all of them."

"As a result, we don't have many people in the logistics department, and with so many livestock abandoned by the Huns, our logistics will be busier and more chaotic!"

"If at this time, the Huns send their main force to attack our logistics, not to mention all of them, even if they can destroy half of our logistics, we will be very uncomfortable this winter!"

"Well, you may not be able to run away with the livestock. Why don't we help them take care of it for a while? Anyway, they will take it back sooner or later..."

Han Xin said with a smile.

According to his thinking, if the Huns wanted to win back a victory in this battle, this was the only way.

In addition, in a frontal battle, the Huns had no chance of winning.

The gap in hard power between the two sides cannot be bridged by the amount of military strength.

Moreover, the Han army still had the advantage between the two sides.

After the Huns fled, their population was less than 500,000, even if they came to the Western Regions to replenish some of them.

But now he is also divided, isn't he?

The Han army is all warriors, but you Xiongnu are all men, women, old and young. With the same number of people, what do you use to fight?

Want to sneak attack on my logistics?

hehe!

Han Xin raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said: "Since the Huns want to play so much, I will play with them for a while, lest people say we are bullying others in the future!"

"Instruct all the troops on the front line to chase them fiercely and let them throw away more livestock for three days. Once the time limit is up, immediately pack up the trophies and return. We will take the trophies to Beilu to spend the winter, leaving them alone in the ice and snow.
Chapter completed!
