Obviously the Tuyuhun people themselves had troubles to solve, or perhaps the Tuyuhun people were planning to take advantage. Yang Jian and the big man were fighting passionately, and it seemed like a good choice for them to go out and engage in a "fight between the snipe and the clam, and the fisherman gets the benefit."
Therefore, it is reasonable that the Tuyuhun people have not made any movement until now.
If they still haven't moved yet, Chang Sun Sheng might have some doubts.
"The Tuyuhun people don't dare to use all their strength. They only dare to take advantage. That's enough." Shi Wansui couldn't help but say at this time.
He Ruobi beside him also nodded: "With the troops and horses we brought here this time, Wuwei's army already has 60,000 people, and it can indeed fight against Tuyuhun."
Changsun Sheng said in a deep voice: "The question is how to fight. Should we wait for Tuyuhun to attack the city and then fight decisively under the city, or should we take the initiative?"
This is the issue that Changsun Sheng is most concerned about. When the Northwest War broke out, he came to Wuwei to take charge. After being in Wuwei for such a long time, under his leadership, the Wuwei garrison gradually changed from the original local soldiers to strong soldiers.
He became an elite man who could fight. Therefore, Changsun Sheng, who had already prepared for the war, was not afraid of the war. He was just more concerned about how the war should be fought.
"After the Tuyuhun people captured Shazhou, they also obtained a lot of natural horse farms. It is conceivable that their troops will be mainly cavalry." Yu Wenxin said directly, "This may not be good news, but it is what we want.
The cruel reality to face.”
After a pause, Yu Wenxin then said: "The importance of Wuwei is not in the city, but in the horse farms around Wuwei. Now is the time when the horses are fat after autumn. The Tyuhun people's first goal must be to seize these horse farms.
Get enough space for the horses, and secondly, if they move fast enough, we won't even have time to move the horses."
When Yu Wenxin said this, he had already answered Chang Sun Sheng's question just now.
Defending a city is simple, but unrealistic.
They can only fight in the wild with the Tuyuhun people.
"How many people are there in Tuyuhun?" Shi Wansui asked another very important question.
"It should be around 50,000," Changsun Sheng said hurriedly. "Now all we can rely on is the information from the scouts. After all, the Tuyuhun army has just left Shazhou, but their forwards are no longer close to Wuwei."
Three hundred miles away, there should be thousands of cavalry."
"Using the cavalry directly as the vanguard, Murong Shifu intends to fight quickly." Yu Wenxin laughed, "Obviously he does not intend to drag the war into the middle of winter."
Changsun Sheng frowned and said: "But if we stay behind closed doors, it will be equivalent to giving up the good horse farm outside the city. In this way, his offensive purpose will be achieved. And if we go out of the city to fight, we will naturally face the Tuyuhun people.
It’s the same difficulty, so Murong Shifu should be betting that we will choose the former?”
"In this case, we can't help him," He Ruobi said immediately, "Wuwei City has enough grain reserves. As long as we can ensure the smooth flow of grain channels, we will have the possibility to deal with the Tuyuhun people."
"This is destined to be a battle of perseverance and courage." Shi Wansui couldn't help but sigh.
The competition unfolding in the cold wind of midwinter will not only depend on strategic deployment and tactics, but also on who can persist longer!
Yu Wenxin looked around: "What, are you scared?"
Shi Wansui and He Ruobi laughed at the same time: "Don't be afraid of the end!"
They have all died once, so what else do they have to be afraid of?
"Then let's have a good fight with the Tuyuhun people!" Yu Wenxin said loudly.
For these newcomers to the Han Dynasty, what they need most now is an opportunity to prove themselves. Li Xingchen asked them to come to the northwest in the hope that they could avoid the embarrassment of facing off against Yu Wenxian or Yang Jian, and also be able to compete with the Tuguhun people.
They emerged in the competition, otherwise Li Xingchen would not really trust them.
It can be said that Tuyuhun is destined to be their enemy. Even if Tuyuhun does not come to kill them, in order to get ahead and continue to live, Yu Wenxin and the others will still have to trouble Tuyuhun. Now it is easier.
Looking at these three high-spirited people, Chang Sun Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.
He comes from the Guanlong family, so of course he knows Yu Wenxin's abilities.
His Majesty sent Yu Wenxin and others here, but it felt like they were overqualified and underused.
However, Changsun Sheng believed that His Majesty definitely did not really intend to overdo it with talents. This must also be a preparation for the Han Dynasty to completely defeat Tuyuhun and open up the Hexi Corridor, and even enter the Western Regions.
In order to conquer the Western Region, sending such a lineup is not a waste.
And I am honored to be able to witness the beginning of this journey.
Yuan Xie is eager to prove himself.
Especially when the Northern Zhou army was retreating steadily on various battlefields.
He is full of confidence in himself. This confidence may come from the victories he has achieved on the battlefield, or it may come from the elite soldiers under his command.
After Yang Jian went north to attack the Turks, in order to protect the Hetao, a rare rear area that he could still control at the time, he only left behind elite soldiers. Now these soldiers are also eager to fight.
The high fighting spirit of the army made Yuan Xie more confident.
He believed that he could easily break through the Han people's defense line in Lingwu, then drive straight in and capture the entire northwest!
He wanted these unscrupulous southern barbarians to see that the real Northern Zhou Erlang was not the weaklings they had encountered before. Wei Xiaokuan, Li Mu and others were just a group of traitors, while Yu Wensheng and his son were nothing but mud that could not hold up the wall. The real
To be able to carry forward the reputation of the Northern Hero again depends on Yuan Xie!
Therefore, after receiving Yang Jian's order, Yuan Xie rushed towards Lingwu. After learning that Shuofang was lost, Yuan Xie became even more aware of how arduous his mission was.
If Yang Jian can't hold on until the day when Yuan Xie takes Lingwu, there will really be no way to save him.
After all, after passing Yinzhou, there is no danger to defend the Loop.
It was under this pressure that Yuan Xie could not even separate the front and rear armies, and could only march forward as a whole as a whole.
"General, Huangshawan is ahead!" The scouts rushed over quickly, "We found two groups of enemy scouts, both numbering more than thirty people!"
"We're almost there." Yuan Xie raised his eyebrows.
Huangshawan is a place he is not unfamiliar with. Just yesterday, the Han army clashed with a group of scouts sent by Yuan Xie here. Both sides were small teams of elite cavalry. After the battle, each suffered casualties. This was also the first time that the scouts from both sides broke out.
This was a direct conflict, which undoubtedly told Yuan Xie that after passing Huangshawan, they were on the territory of the Han army. The Han army scouts took action because they did not want the Zhou people to find out their arrangements.
