Seeing that tens of thousands of soldiers were safe and sound, Han Xiner breathed a sigh of relief for a moment.
Now he was also very afraid of the surprise attack strategy he proposed before. Although the army had not crossed the river for some reason, if the Tatars suddenly attacked and killed the army halfway through, everything would be over.
Han Xiner said happily: "I didn't expect these Tatars to know our movements in advance. It's a good thing that Brother Mu didn't cross the river. Otherwise, it would have been a disaster."
But at the moment, both Chen Mu and Zhang Bowen had sad faces. Han Xiner still didn't know what happened, so she asked softly: "Are there any casualties in the army...?"
Chen Mu stared at the thousands of corpses in the distance and simply said: "No, but your brother Xiahou, in order to prevent us from entering the ambush, right now... I'm afraid he has been hacked to death."
"It's...what?" Han Xiner's expression was suddenly shocked!
After Zhang Bowen told the story from beginning to end, Han Xiner took a step back in despair.
"It was me who killed Brother Xiahou."
If he hadn't come up with this surprise attack strategy, how could things like this happen tonight? How could Brother Xiahou sacrifice his life to come here?
However, Chen Mu just patted Han Xiner's shoulder lightly and said comfortingly: "If it's my fault as the coach, don't blame yourself. Now that the war has begun, let's think about how to annihilate the enemy."
After saying that, Chen Mu walked to the Fenhe River alone. No matter how sad he was, the major event at hand was still how to completely wipe out these northern barbarians.
"Brother Chen, based on the current situation, I think we should cross the river."
Zhang Bowen came to Chen Mu leisurely and said such a sentence. Chen Mu looked at Zhang Bowen in disbelief: "Xiahou has died because of this, don't you think there are not enough people who died?"
Zhang Bowen cupped his hands and said: "It is precisely because we were discovered that we have to continue crossing the Fen River."
After saying that, he took out a map of Taiyuan's surroundings from his bag.
"Now the Tatar army must also think that we will bypass the Fen River. Brother Chen can send 10,000 people to pretend to march to disrupt the sight of the Tatar sentries. They will definitely move the entire army to this place called Jiuliang Road.
, prepare for a decisive battle with us, while the remaining 50,000 troops will build rafts here and wait until tomorrow night to cross the river."
After hearing this, Chen Mu thought for a moment and felt that it was reasonable. The Tatars would subconsciously think that we no longer dare to walk by water. The 10,000-strong army pretended to go there and attracted the Tatar army to Jiuliang Road.
Lead the main force to sneak across the Fen River.
This is another gamble, and now we have fallen into a passive position. If we don't gamble on this game and lead the army on the dry road, then all the initiative will be with the Tatars.
This time I heard that Wanyan Liming led the troops to conquer personally. This man has been on the battlefield for a long time and will definitely lay a dragnet in the important place of Jiuliang Road.
After making a decision for a long time, Chen Mu was finally ready to gamble again.
"Zhang Bowen, lead 10,000 troops to Jiuliang Road. By midnight tomorrow, I will lead a large army to attack the rear of the Tatar army. You are waiting for the opportunity."
Zhang Bowen hurriedly handed over his hands: "Take the order!"
Next, Chen Mu led the remaining 50,000 Shu troops to hide in the jungle far away while it was still dark. As for Zhang Bowen, he led 10,000 troops to the upper reaches of the Fen River.
In order not to be seen by the sentry on the other side, he also walked on the edge of the jungle.
Most of the soldiers were hidden in the jungle, while a small number were hidden in the plains. The purpose was to prevent the sentries on the other side from seeing through the reality.
Soon it was daybreak, and 50,000 Han troops continued to cut wood in the jungle. Until noon, a raft large enough to transport everyone at once was built.
In order to avoid being discovered, even though all the sergeants had been hungry all day, they were still not allowed to light a fire for cooking until dark.
After all the soldiers fell asleep tiredly, Chen Mu couldn't help but sit on a boulder and look at the other side of the river.
Huangfu came to Chen Mu softly, and then took out a piece of dried bun from his arms: "Eat some."
Chen Muxu smiled bitterly, and without any courtesy, he drank the Fen River water in the pot and started eating.
"Your Majesty will create a great cause. It is inevitable to gather the few and separate the many."
"I've been numb for a long time, and there's no need for you to comfort me. Until now, many of my friends have died because of me."
Seeing Chen Mu's indifferent answer, Huangfu paused and asked: "If you had known in advance...that these friends would die because of you, would you still take this path?"
"Haha, there is no such thing. I am sad because I am sad. Maybe more people will leave because of me in the future. But, this road is destined to be lonely and lonely. Once you start, there is no turning back."
After finishing the last bite, Chen Mu stood up and patted the crumbs on his hands: "Go and get some sleep. There is still a big battle waiting for us tonight."
After that, he slowly left under Huangfu's gaze.
When it got dark, Chen Mu had already begun to mobilize all the sergeants. Each team was carrying a raft. Just waiting for the order, they would cross the Fen River to the other side.
"The whole army obeys the order and crosses the river!"
After that, all the sergeants carried the raft and headed to the river.
This time was no longer as hasty as last time. There was enough time during the day to build rafts, and now the entire army could cross the Fen River in just one go.
Unless the Tatars see through his plot again, even if they are discovered by the Tatar sentries, it will be too late by the time the Tibetan army arrives.
This time, Chen Mu's bet was right. Until the entire army passed through the Fen River, not a single Tatar soldier was seen.
In this way, the initiative was once again in Chen Mu's hands.
Then he took out the map and looked at it carefully: "This time, we will go to the Tatar army camp first. After destroying all the food and grass, we will lead the army directly to Jiuliang Road!"
"Han Xin'er!"
"exist!"
"I order you to lead ten thousand soldiers and go explore the road!"
"Take orders!"
After saying that, the army rushed towards Taiyuan City one after another. This time, Chen Mu, both public and private, was determined to twist off the heads of those kings and bury them with Xia Hou!
Although Taiyuan is surrounded by two steep mountains, Luliang Mountain and Taihang Mountain, there is a very flat depression in the middle. The 50,000-strong army quickly arrived at Taiyuan City.
There are military tents far and near. All the food, grass and equipment for a hundred thousand troops are here, but none of the large troops are here!
Chen Mu looked happy, and the next moment he drew his sword out of its sheath and shouted: "Kill! No one will be spared!"
As soon as the raging flames of war ignited, the 50,000 soldiers present rushed directly towards the Tatar camp like a flash flood.
"kill!"
The few Tatar soldiers who stayed behind in the camp were stunned when they saw this scene. Especially King Husile, who stayed behind in the camp, sat down on the ground as soon as he heard the Han army was attacking.
"He...didn't they take a detour around Fenhe River? What is going on?"
