Chapter 69 Strategies
"Hahahaha, how could I not have seen it before?"
After sending the soldiers away, Yang Qian wiped the cold sweat from his head. He didn't know whether the world was too crazy or he had too little knowledge. Isn't this a rhinoceros?
Rhinoceros should be in Africa. If the countries and histories of this world don't match up, but the places match up, this should be Asia.
Are there rhinos in Asia? Yang Qian felt it was so ridiculous. In his previous life, he had only seen rhinos in TV series. Even in zoos, there were very few rhinos. He had seen a lot of elephants.
Returning to his horse, frowning all the way, Ran Jing took out his crossbow and calibrated it constantly. When he noticed that the general had a shit-eating expression on his face, he couldn't help but asked with concern, "General Yang, has there been any change in the situation?"
"No, no, no, there is no change. By the way, Ran Jing, have you ever seen an animal like Si?"
"Hmm~~~ I've heard of it, but never seen it. You also know that Wufeng County is mainly about sericulture, and there is not much pasture. They are all mulberry trees. I heard that these big guys don't like mulberry trees, so we don't There are many, but many villagers have seen it.”
"Is it more than one foot long, eight feet high, and has one or two horns~~~~" Yang Qian used his fingers to make a horn shape on his nose, and his funny movements directly amused Ran Jing.
"Yes, that's right."
In an instant, Yang Qian covered his head, sat down slowly, and fell directly into deep thought, recalling his previous knowledge.
Others looked at it and thought that Yang Qian was either hit by an arrow or possessed by an evil spirit.
"Hey, Krisna, what's wrong with Yang Gan?"
"I don't know. I just came back like this after a while. Could it be that I didn't eat rice? In the past few days, I complained every day that I didn't have rice to eat."
"I don't think it's possible. I eat meat every day. How can I be so happy?"
"The general asked me just now that I had seen Si(si). I said I had, and he was like this. The probability of being possessed by evil spirits is relatively high."
........
"It's impossible. If I were in Asia, there wouldn't be rhinos. If there were rhinos, it might be in Africa, but Africa can't have such a terrain..."
"Who am I~~~~"
"Where am I~~~~"
............
"Don't worry, it's okay. He'll be like this when he's thinking about something. I asked him before and he said he was hit on the head, and what did he get? Cerebral thrombosis." Krisna recalled.
Bellica also agreed, "I also heard him talk about having cerebral thrombosis for ten years, not having a computer, etc. I couldn't understand it either."
Fujiko Jin also agreed, "Well, I have never seen the handwriting written by Yang Qian. There are so many gaps in my mind that I can't compare with them."
Immediately, people looked at Yang Qian with admiration.
In the evening, the scouts basically came back one after another, especially the scouts who were investigating the Huns brought back news.
The five thousand Xiongnu cavalry did not fight with the tribe at all. Instead, they stationed themselves where they had been. The two groups of men and horses were looming at each other's horns, making it impossible for Yang Qian to advance or retreat.
After listening, Yang Gan understood that the guy leading the troops on the other side was definitely quite capable, and now he was caught in a tug-of-war.
Such a form is absolutely harmful to oneself, and it is not a local battle. If another team comes, then oneself and others will be really miserable.
There was no choice but to lie dormant first. Even ordinary cavalry were sent out as scouts, and they had to report once every hour on average.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
At the mountain col, a Hun soldier ran over in a hurry and shouted, "Captain Ten Thousands, their scouts are here again."
The Captain, who was sitting next to the fire and holding his breath, had a gloomy look in his eyes, "Have you determined their location?"
"It has been determined that they are to the east of us. We have been looking in the wrong direction for the past three days and always thought they were going back to the south."
After taking a sip of the kumiss, the captain's eyes flashed: "I don't care about others, but my tenth wife was also snatched away by them. They are simply bullying me and the Huns have no one. Please inform me that we will launch an attack early tomorrow morning and we will not stop until we die."
"As you command, Captain of Ten Thousands."
"A mere two thousand people dare to come to the Xiongnu to run wild. It seems that there is too little grass and grain to fight."
In the view of the captain, bringing five thousand cavalry has given the enemy face. You must know that the cavalry in the Central Plains is just a joke in the eyes of the Huns.
When the sky was dark, Yang Gan wiped his sweat and said, "Ran Jing, how are things going on both sides of the swamp?"
"General Yang, we have been digging for three days and three nights. There should be no mistakes."
"Has a safe passage been left?"
"Stayed."
Yang Gan nodded and said confidently to the soldiers, "There are five thousand Huns cavalry outside now. If it had been before, we might not even have a chance to escape."
"But it's different now. Everyone is equipped with stirrups, and you should be able to feel it. At least it's easier and faster than before, and people won't fall."
"That's right."
"General, I heard you invented it."
"People who can't learn how to ride a horse can now become cavalry. This world is so crazy."
Yang Gan nodded with satisfaction. If he has confidence in the general, then the soldiers under his command will have greater confidence. Even if he is really unsure now, it does not prevent him from doing superficial work. If he is very frustrated, he will basically not be able to continue. No need to fight.
"General, let's fight."
"Yes, I only realized after studying that there is no home without a country."
"Swear to defend the country to the death."
"Daxia will win~~~!"
Yang Gan grinned, and it finally worked. "Everyone, light a bonfire and pretend to bury the pot to make rice. When the time comes, listen to my command!"
"No~~~!" Everyone responded in unison.
"Next, let me train you on some skills."
Not long after, smoke curled up from the cooking pots, and the pots were being cooked. If anyone took a closer look, they would find that the soldiers had not even taken off their helmets, and all the horses were beside them. They could mount them immediately at the slightest sign of trouble. War horse.
In the camp of five thousand Huns, the Huns packed their bags and prepared to mount their horses. A scout reported, "Captain Ten Thousands, a bonfire has been raised over the Xia people, and they are burying pots to make rice."
A thousand cavalry commander immediately suggested, "Let's go and kill them immediately. Xia's cavalry are just lambs in the wolf's mouth and pose no threat at all."
The captain smiled and said, "There is no threat at all? Then how did they capture more than a dozen tribes? The Xia people are cunning. There has been no movement for three days. Only smoke rose today. Isn't this a scam?"
Commander Qian Qian nodded and could only say helplessly, "Everything depends on Commander Ten Thousands."
"Okay, then let's all set off to see who is commanding the troops in the Xia Kingdom. Those crooked melons and cracked jujubes on the border can only be seen by Tian Zong."
The commander of ten thousand warriors has his own considerations. If the commander of hundreds of cavalry and the commander of thousands of cavalry rely on bravery to lead the army, then the commander of ten thousand warriors also has good ability to command troops in addition to bravery.
The cavalry of 5,000 men began to gear up and move towards the swamp. Not long after, they saw a large grassland with about 2,000 men burying pots and making rice.
"Huns!!!!" Before the Huns could enter the swamp, a soldier screamed crazily under Yang Gan's instructions.
In an instant, everyone got on their horses, and there were even a few soldiers who still had their swords on the ground, and a few of their helmets had fallen off. Looking over, they looked like a defeated army.
"The Huns are too scary, run away~~~!"
"How did the Huns come? They are so powerful."
"Let's run quickly, we can't fight, we can't fight~~~~!"
Various curses and begging for mercy kept coming, and the captain always felt a little strange, so he still wanted to observe them for a while. After all, going east was still the grassland, and he still couldn't escape the iron hoof of the Huns.
But the few thousand cavalry commanders next to him couldn't help it. Two thousand soldiers were no small feats, and they could be used even by King Zuo Xian. After all, Dacaogu generally would not fight the Xia army.
"Captain Ten Thousands, they will run away if it's too late."
"Yes, Xia Guo cavalry, our army can disperse them in one round and round."
"Xia's cavalry is too slow. I can even catch up with them while riding a sheep."
After squinting his eyes for a moment to check, the captain immediately paid attention: "Three thousand Chinese troops will attack, and one thousand will be outflanked on each side. Sons, follow me to kill~~~~!"
"Oh oh oh oh oh~~~~~"
The five thousand cavalrymen shouted chaotic slogans and kept shouting strangely as they rushed towards the Xia army. In just ten seconds, the speed of the war horses had already soared.
Yang Gan signaled everyone to slow down and show weakness to the enemy. Looking back, he was surprised by the speed of the Huns' cavalry. Sure enough, the nomads were coming and going as fast as the wind and as fast as lightning.
He closed his eyes, the corners of his mouth gradually curved, and a strong sense of excitement poured into his heart, and he chanted silently.
"1~~~"
"2~~~"
"3~~~"
His eyes suddenly opened.
I saw thousands of Hun cavalry falling directly into the swamp under the extremely fast attack. The cavalry behind them were suddenly knocked over and their horses began to struggle. The more they struggled, the faster they fell.
"Don't panic. Anyone who hasn't fallen in, get me a rope and drag the horses and people up~~~" Captain Wan was going crazy. Generally, swamps have obvious water stains, but this swamp is too weird, and there are no signs at all. No, I don’t know how many people will be lost in this charge.
But he is really a peerless commander, and he still has at least two thousand cavalry on his flanks.
At this moment, bursts of mournful "chirping" sounds were heard, which were also mixed with the sound of broken bones. The two thousand cavalrymen on both wings also fell on their backs, and a large number of horses' legs were trapped in the horse trap.
Whether they were stuck in a horse trap or a swamp, they stopped at speeds of dozens of kilometers per hour. The huge inertia caused some horses to break their thighs. The cavalry were thrown ten meters away and lay on the ground groaning without making a sound.
Yang Gan and the others were not deaf. When they saw a group of people behind them, they immediately ordered, "Everyone, please go back and tie up all the Huns."
"Okay~~~~"
Chapter completed!
