"I remember that in the southwest of Luodi, there is a stream. This stream winds through a hillock called Yaling by the locals and flows through a canyon called Yaling Gorge. Half of this canyon is a stream.
Half of the road is made of mud, and it is difficult to walk on the muddy road. If the general plans to ambush the advance cavalry of the Jie people, this is a good place."
Seeing Sima An looking at the map without saying a word for a long time, Zhao Hongrun stared ahead and said calmly.
…
Sima An looked at Zhao Hongrun in surprise when he heard this. You must know that the Sanchuan map is in his hand, and His Royal Highness Prince Su next to him did not turn his head to look, but he clearly remembered the local landforms recorded on the map?
Rumor has it that King Su Hongrun has a profound knowledge and a strong memory, can walk around and view monuments, and has a photographic memory... Maybe it's not a rumor?
Sima Anxin was surprised. After thinking for a while, he said: "Your Highness, why don't we station our army in Changchuan temporarily."
"Huh?"
Zhao Hongrun was slightly startled when he heard this. After all, in his memory, Changchuan was a low hill where the Sichuan stream flows, which is why the Sichuan stream got its name.
It is undeniable that the Changchuan area has low hills, plains, and mountain streams, and the terrain is quite complex, making it a good location to set up camp.
But as Baili Ba, the general of the dredging navy, said, the emphasis of setting up a camp depends on whether it is offensive or defensive. As Sima An proposed, the general camp was set up in Changchuan, which was clearly a military camp focused on defense.
Building such a military camp will not help the Dangshan army to annihilate the advance cavalry team of the Jie tribe that may arrive in just half a day!
Logically speaking, the suggestion made by him, Zhao Hongrun, is the best choice.
However, Sima An didn't seem to be in a hurry to plan and annihilate the Jie clan's advance cavalry, and instead set up camp in Changchuan in front of Yaling and Yaling Gorge. To be honest, this was not in line with Sima An's desire to kill everyone in the world.
Alien-like mentality.
If something goes wrong, it must be a monster!
"Has the general not given up yet?" Zhao Hongrun asked with some emotion after thinking about it for a while.
Hearing this, Sima An's eyes flashed with strange color. He smiled lightly and asked, "Why did your Highness say this?"
Zhao Hongrun looked at Sima An for a while and said calmly: "The next step for the general is to ask me to write another letter and ask Wu Ji to lead the merchant navy to ambush on the other side of Yaling Gorge, right?"
…
Sima An's eyes changed slightly when he heard this.
Zhao Hongrun had already said this, how could he deceive himself and others again, so he smiled bitterly and said: "Three days, please give His Highness King Su, three more days."
Zhao Hongrun looked at Sima An, nodded after a while and said: "Okay! I will give the general three days. However, after three days, if Ruoluo, the Yi people in Gong's land still do not assist the Jie people, they will betray
friendship with me, the Wei Dynasty, then the general must recognize these tribes as our friendly neighbors, the Wei Dynasty, and shall not make any further actions that harm each other's friendship."
Hearing this, Sima An said: "If he betrays his friendship with me, the Great Wei, and betrays the trust of His Highness King Su, I will lead the Dangshan Army to kill him..."
"Expelled from Sanchuan!" Zhao Hongrun interrupted Sima An.
"..." Sima An frowned. Then, maybe he felt that this move was acceptable, so he nodded.
It turned out that the reason why Sima An begged Zhao Hongrun to give him three more days was because he was waiting for the Jie and Yi tribes in Gong and Luo to rebel and cut off their food routes.
After that, the soldiers of the Dangshan Army began to set up camp in Changchuan in a hurry. These soldiers cut down the trees in the nearby mountains and built the fences of the military camp on the low hills. Then, they would collect the proceeds from the Brown Horn tribe.
The flocks of sheep rushed to the military camp and killed the sheep for meat. They made dried meat and used it as military rations.
Speaking of these sheep, some were lost on the way, and the soldiers of the Dangshan Army along the way also took the time to make dried meat. Therefore, of the tens of thousands of sheep, only one-third are left now.
, but instead, the luggage of every Dangshan soldier was stuffed with dried meat.
Under this situation, Sima An didn't care at all whether the Yi people or the Yi people in Gong and Luo would cut off their food routes.
On the other hand, he even hoped that these foreigners would betray them, because in this case, His Highness King Su next to him would no longer stop him from using force against these foreigners.
After all, His Highness Prince Su had almost the same views as Sima An in dealing with foreigners who betrayed the friendship of the Wei Dynasty.
About half a day later, the advance cavalry of the Jie people followed the marching route of the Dangshan Army and arrived unexpectedly.
At this time, in fact, the Dangshan Army had not completely completed the construction of the barracks of the general camp. At most, it was only half-built. Moreover, the marching tents and other things in the military camp, except for Sima An's commander's tent and Zhao Hongrun's king's tent, were
Not a single one.
There was no way, the advance cavalry of the Jie people came too fast, and it took only half a day for the Dangshan army to rush to Changchuan from several miles away and build a military camp in Changchuan.
Fortunately, the Dangshan Army's military camp was built on those low hills and occupied the advantage of high ground. Therefore, although the advance cavalry of the Jie tribe caught up with them, they did not attack the Dangshan Army immediately, but watched from a distance.
On the short hill, Zhao Hongrun and Sima An, who came after hearing the news, were also looking at the Jie tribe's advance cavalry in the distance from the short hill.
It is worth mentioning that perhaps Wu Wu revealed information about the Jie people to the Dangshan Army a few days ago, which made Sima An have a little trust in him. At least at this moment, Wu Wu and Wu Na were standing next to Zhao Hongrun.
Sima An no longer shows disgust on his face.
"This amount...is incredible."
From the side, Bai Fangming, the general of the Dangshan Army, put his hand flat on his brow, squinted his eyes and looked at the large group of Jie tribe's advance cavalry in the distance, and murmured: "My dear, how many war horses are there here?"
After hearing his muttering, several Dangshan Army generals nearby glanced at him speechlessly.
But having said that, the distant Jie tribe's advance cavalry and the horses they owned really made them a little jealous.
You must know that the advance cavalry of the Jie tribe on the opposite side is no more than five or six thousand, according to Zhao Hongrun's visual estimation. However, because one person is equipped with three cavalry, the number of war horses reaches more than fifteen thousand.
In the eyes of the Wei soldiers and generals, this was simply a luxury and waste.
If we can capture some war horses...
I believe that most of the generals of the Dangshan Army are fantasizing about this matter at this moment.
Including General Sima An.
After all, the general's eyes fixed on the troops were not so much filled with murderous intent as that he wanted to gain something.
At this time, Wuwu reminded: "Like I said, the tribal warriors of the Jie people do not have a logistics army that is responsible for logistics like your army. Their food for the past few days has been on the other two horses.
A horse is carrying them on its back. And from now on, their feet will no longer touch the ground and they will eat, drink and relieve themselves on the horse's back."
"You can also take poop on a horse?" Bai Fangming asked at an inappropriate time, causing everyone nearby to show strange expressions.
"Uh... yes." Wuwu nodded, made a weird gesture, and explained: "Like this, half sitting on the horse and pulling... Well, that's the solution."
Fortunately, Oona couldn't understand what I, Da Wei, said...
Zhao Hongrun glanced at Oona, who had an expression on her face that she didn't know what Brother Wuwu was talking about, and then glanced at the generals of the Dangshan Army, only to see that their faces were full of expressions such as "Oh, I see, I have learned a lot."
Obviously, these people are actually very curious about this matter.
At this time, Sima An asked in a deep voice: "Then... how do they solve the drinking water problem? Do they also carry water on their backs?"
"Each Jie tribe cavalry is equipped with two water bladders. The outside is made of sheepskin, and the inside is made of sheep's stomach pouch, or... well, made of sheep's bladder..."
"Yangpao? What is that?" Bai Fangming interrupted.
Sheep bladder…
Zhao Hongrun glanced at Bai Fangming, but wisely did not speak.
Sure enough, when Wuwu explained what Yangpao was, all the generals of the Dangshan Army showed strange expressions.
"Stop interrupting!" Sima An glared at Bai Fangming, and then said calmly to Wu Wu, "Go on."
"Actually, Yangpao is washed and used to hold water... Okay, let me continue talking about the Jie cavalry." Wu Wu wisely ended his plan to explain the benefits of Yangpao to these Wei people and continued to talk about the drinking water problem of the Jie cavalry: "
These two water bags are enough to sustain a tribal warrior's drinking water for one day. In other words, during this day, they will always be by your side, using their longbows to shoot the soldiers to death. If the water in the water bags runs out
They will first retreat half of the cavalry and go to nearby streams and mountain streams to replenish drinking water. Fill two water bags, and then these people will return again and exchange with the other half of the cavalry."
"In other words...impeccable?" General Wen Xu of the Dangshan Army frowned and asked, "What about sleeping? Is it also on horseback?"
"Of course." Wu Wu nodded and said with some pride: "Any tribal warrior must master the skill of sleeping on horseback. Maybe you Wei people can't accept it. Excellent tribal warriors can be held by their companions.
The reins, and he was lying on his back on the horse, soundly asleep, while the horse was running."
How is it possible...
When the generals of the Dangshan Army heard this, they showed expressions of disbelief. After all, lying on their backs on their running horses and sleeping soundly was too unbelievable to them, so they weren't afraid of falling off their horses and falling to their death?
"General, I have a general understanding of the capabilities of the Yi cavalry... So in your opinion, in this situation, how will the Jie cavalry on the opposite side attack our military camp?" Sima An asked Wu Wu.
After hearing this, Wuwu smiled and said: "Without the slave army to consume the enemy soldiers' physical strength, the Jie cavalry will become much more cautious in their combat methods, and will not make unnecessary attacks, let alone rush up the mountain rashly.
, only use longbows to shoot your soldiers."
"It's easy to prevent this, is there anything else?"
"Also...it is said that the general's camp location is well chosen. There is a mountain stream under this low hill. In this way, the siege method used by the Jie tribe's cavalry will have no effect. However, they may be here
Upstream of a mountain stream, block the mountain stream with things so that the soldiers of your army have no drinking water. Or, they use feces to pollute the stream water. In this way, the stream water flowing near the low hill can no longer be drunk, otherwise it will
Sick."
"Hmm. Is there anything else?"
"Finally..." Wuwu didn't know what he saw at this time. He pursed his lips in front of him and said, "Here, here comes...the challenge of riding alone."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud voice in the Shen language coming from under the short hill.
Everyone took a closer look and found a very strong Jie cavalry fighting under the low hill.
Fighters in front of the battle...
Sima An touched his chin, his eyes shining thoughtfully.
