Chapter 652 A huge conspiracy

When the 100th arrow tower stood, the Northern Huns had lost the right to choose.

Although they carefully chose to move the camp back, because the Han Dynasty never launched an attack, they never took the final step.

Arati wrote a letter in person telling them that as long as they persisted until the army returned to the DPRK, all problems would be solved.

The Han Dynasty was waiting, and so were the Northern Huns, and time passed quietly while waiting.

It was raised one foot high on the ground, and beams and wooden piers were laid on it. Then layers of wooden boards were laid on it, and it was almost filled with vegetation.

Coupled with a large number of wooden nails, a brand new wooden city soon rose from the ground, which made the people in the Northern Huns camp feel unprecedented pressure.

But they can't leave. Once they move around, the flaws exposed after going out will allow the Han Dynasty to easily defeat them.

When there is a camp, the old, weak, sick and disabled can serve as strong laborers to liberate the soldiers.

When there is no camp, the old, weak, sick and disabled will be a pure drag.

What's more, the blood sacrifice ceremony they arranged is fixed and cannot be moved.

The Northern Huns, who were unwilling to give up their large tribe and blood sacrifice rituals, were forced to watch the Han Dynasty build a huge base in front of them.

In order to achieve this goal, all the generals of the Han Dynasty, including Han Shizhong, basically took turns to participate in the construction.

The wood that had been warmed and transformed, and with the efforts of tens of thousands of Han troops, successfully completed the construction of their own camp.

This camp almost crushes the Northern Huns camp. The average height is more than two feet higher than that of the Northern Huns, and there are more than a hundred arrow towers standing there.

Let alone the people from the Northern Huns camp who attacked by force, even if the Northern Huns army returned, they would still have to weigh the losses without siege equipment.

Of course, during the few days when the Han Dynasty was building their camp, the Northern Xiongnu did not do anything.

Although they were stupid, they were not stupid enough to completely let the Han Dynasty build up.

However, with all their elite troops transferred away, facing Qin Yuliang's white pole soldiers and Chen Dao's white body soldiers, they could only return without success several times.

After the arrow tower was built, it would be easier for the Han Dynasty to defend itself.

The cavalry, which came and went like the wind, could only retreat in the face of the covering blow of the bed crossbow.

The Han Dynasty cleverly controlled the distance within the range of one mile, which could not only put pressure on the Northern Huns, but also prevent the Northern Huns from facing a fatal crisis.

Later, Han Shizhong directly gave up the peripheral defense, creating a feeling of loose defense.

As expected, the Northern Huns took the bait. They abandoned their horses and crawled forward at night, attacking the Han camp in the dark.

It is a pity that the camp buildings of the Han Dynasty were too perfect.

The outermost circle of wooden camps is filled with a large number of bunker-like sentry buildings.

Many hidden sentries arranged by Han Shizhong were hidden in these buildings. The hollow wooden structure made the sound of footsteps spread more clearly. Coupled with the removable wooden boards, they could easily know whether there was an attack from the outside.

You can also determine the approximate quantity by the way.

They even equipped these sentries with complete supplies, and secret sentries in groups of three could even take turns to rest there, which was no worse than in the camp.

Especially during the day, under the gaze of the arrow tower, they could even hide and rest, avoiding the physical work of cutting down wood and repairing buildings, not to mention how easy it was.

Under this perfect defense system, even if there were some sneaky and sneaky soldiers of the Han army, in the face of dozens or even hundreds of groups, the Northern Huns' night attack had no chance of success.

Under such circumstances, the troops sent by the Northern Huns were naturally a tragedy.

The Northern Xiongnu generals who led them thought that the Han army was too negligent and gave them a considerable opportunity.

After all, most of the time the barbarians were riding horses, so the Han Dynasty could not hide any large-scale movements.

They guessed that the effect of simply abandoning the war horse would be very good, but they never thought that the effect would be so good.

After he led his troops deep into the camp and confirmed that the Han army really had no soldiers patrolling at night, he was overjoyed.

Without hesitation, he led thousands of people to prepare for a night attack on the Han army camp.

In his opinion, as long as the commander-in-chief of the Han army is killed, the Han army will be in chaos without a leader.

When they rushed into the Chinese army camp, amidst the noise, the entire camp began to revive.

After successfully killing everyone sleeping in the Chinese army camp, the Northern Huns army suffered a heavy blow.

Attacks from all sides by the Han army put this northern Huns force of thousands of people into a desperate situation.

However, under the leadership of the Northern Xiongnu general, the Northern Xiongnu rushed left and right, divided their forces and created chaos to attract the attention of the Han Dynasty, and successfully escaped the siege.

But the price was heavy. This team left behind at least more than 5,000 corpses, and these were all elites.

However, in the eyes of the Northern Xiongnu generals who led them, these were all worthwhile. They destroyed all the Han Dynasty's central army camp, so no matter how many people they sacrificed, it was still very valuable.

Of course, these are all nonsense. How could the Northern Huns, whose traces had been discovered early, sneak into the Chinese army camp and hack all the people inside?

And if less than 10,000 people can fight their way out of a heavily defended camp, then Han Shizhong's reputation as the Four Generals of Zhongxing might as well be lost.

The so-called Chinese army camp was a bait he deliberately threw to the Northern Huns.

They had long since moved to a more comfortable wooden house.

Who would live in a flimsy and leaky tent now that they have a house?

It's just Han Shizhong's calculation. After all, if you want to win a big victory, you need to give the Northern Huns some confidence and let them expand first.

After killing more than 5,000 elite troops of the Northern Huns with relatively small losses, Han Shizhong silently sentenced the Northern Huns to death.

It was impossible for the Northern Huns to see through this arrogant strategy, or they didn't want to see through it.

They needed morale so much, and Han Shizhong took the initiative to give them a morale boost.

"You did a good job this time! I will take credit for you when I go back!" Han Shizhong looked at Gao Xianzhi who walked into the hut, with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Thank you, General!" Gao Xianzhi looked a little pale. Anyone who knew Han Shizhong and Yue Fei's plan would have such a shocking emotion.

As for the reason why Han Shizhong was satisfied with Gao Xianzhi, it was naturally because the people who died were all Koreans.

Han Shizhong didn't want to know how Gao Xianzhi persuaded those people to commit suicide, or how he deceived those people to commit suicide.

Naturally, a general would not be merciful, not to mention that those who died were the troops that Goryeo had not fully planned to surrender.

He only looked at the results, that is, his strategy was effective, and they had hope of annihilating the Northern Huns.
