Chapter 543 will be outside, the king's life will be affected
When Yingbu was still worried about the problem of food and grass.
In the far north, Han Xin was also troubled by another matter.
That is, the encirclement is too big, and the places involved and the strength of the troops are unprecedented.
And with such a big movement, it is difficult to completely conceal it.
Even something almost impossible.
Although the ideal was beautiful, in reality it was still discovered by the Huns.
This also means that if the Huns were focused on escaping, the Han army would definitely not be able to achieve their encirclement goal this time.
They can run away right now, and you can't catch them.
"Brother Li, what should we do now?" Han Xin looked at Li Zuoche with a sad face.
The troops had dispersed, but he ignored one thing.
It's autumn!
Autumn is the season for livestock to gain fat.
This also means that the Huns are widely dispersed, and they have no opponents here. There are even very few natives here.
So for the Huns, this seemed to be a natural pasture.
In order to recover their previous losses, they seem to be working harder now.
Of course, the women plundered from the Western Regions also allowed the Huns to once again experience what it means to be a man's happiness.
Although it is very heartbreaking to lose my own woman.
But I have to admit that women from the Western Regions really have a unique flavor.
Moreover, each of them has thick eyebrows, big eyes, and fair and tender skin, which makes people think deeply just by looking at them.
For a time, most of the Huns began to dislike each other, and some even fought over a pretty woman from the Western Regions.
Of course, these are all digressions.
The topic is that for the Han army, enemies that are too scattered are not conducive to encirclement operations.
Similarly, if it is too dispersed, it is easy to miss many people and leak information in advance.
This is what happened. The scouts discovered the Huns grazing, and the Huns also discovered the Han scouts.
Therefore, can the Han army's encirclement policy continue?
This requires a big question mark.
"General, I think it's better to just do what we did before again!" Li Zuoche thought about it seriously and said.
"Why? The lesson given to the Huns last time was profound enough. Do you think they will continue to fight us this time?" Han Xin asked with a frown.
Last time, there were only 30,000 people. The main force of 200,000 Huns, who could defeat them themselves, couldn't raise their heads and turned around and ran away.
This time the situation was different. He had 30,000 Han troops in his own hands, plus Bayar's 15,000 main troops. Calculated as 35,000 troops, it was not something that the Huns could handle.
Moreover, the other two groups totaled 120,000 Han troops. As long as they changed their strategy, reinforcements would come at any time. It was impossible for the Huns to make a time difference.
Anyway, no matter what others say, Han Xin will not think that the Huns have the courage to attack again.
"This is not a question of whether they dare or not, but we have no choice. Only by doing this can we maximize our benefits." Li Zuoche smiled.
Then he said: "The time now is not good. It happens to be autumn. The Huns are relatively scattered. Let alone us, it is not easy for them to gather people together in a short time."
"And one thing is that precisely because the Huns did not expect our main force to come, their main force did not assemble."
"Now we disperse and attack the Huns who are grazing. There are also the main Xiongnu soldiers among them. If we can find 100,000 strong men in the capture, wouldn't it be equivalent to wiping out 100,000 main Xiongnu soldiers?"
"As long as we make proper arrangements, it will be easier for us to deal with this situation."
"Similarly, we can also use all our forces here. For example, three thousand Han troops with two thousand Yuezhi cavalry. Maybe they lack the ability to charge in groups and fight head-on. But in this kind of battle, they
You can always use your strength, right?"
"If we follow this idea, we can probably divide out ten detachments here, keep two detachments of 6,000 soldiers as backup for the general, and release eight, which is basically enough."
Han Xin thought carefully about Li Zuoche's suggestion.
This is indeed the truth, although it doesn't sound very nice to say it out loud.
But if the Huns don't gather their main force, what can I do?
You can't just drive them to gather them like a flock of sheep, and then do it yourself, right?
How stupid do you have to be to do something like this?
Throughout the ages, most wars have been fought in encounters.
What is an encounter?
A war was fought at an unexpected time, in an unexpected place, and with an unexpected enemy.
Siege warfare and the like can only increase the size of the territory. If you have enough time and grind it out bit by bit, victory is not impossible.
But it is also more likely to become a tug-of-war.
An encounter can be a decisive battle, which is a way to weaken the opponent's strength as quickly as possible.
As for the encirclement encircled by His Majesty...
This is really not because I am not willing to do my best, but because the actual situation is that he does not allow it...
As the saying goes, the general is outside and the emperor's orders are not affected. It is okay to temporarily change the combat ideas according to the battlefield situation, as long as it can achieve great results in the end.
Of course, the ultimate goal is to completely eliminate the Xiongnu...
"Inform the other two groups to divide their forces according to this idea and launch an indiscriminate attack on the discovered Huns herds!" Han Xin directly adopted Li Zuoche's suggestion.
Fight if you can. It's best to attract more Huns. If you can't attract them, it doesn't matter.
Anyway, it happened to be the grazing season, and the Huns couldn't gather for a while.
I just took this opportunity to attack everywhere on the grassland.
With a unit of five thousand people, this force is no longer weak on the grassland. Even if they encounter the main force of the Huns with a unit of ten thousand people, they will be able to fight, and even have the strength to defeat the opponent.
"No, there is one more thing to add. For prisoners of war, if they do not resist and obey orders, they will be sent back to the formation for custody. Their weapons must also be strictly guarded. When the time comes, they will find an opportunity to smelt them and bring them back to mint coins. For those who dare
If there is one who resists, then kill ten captives. If there are ten who resist, kill one hundred captives. If there are one hundred who resist, kill all the captives. We must be ruthless in dealing with the Huns.
Come here, otherwise they will never remember and cannot fight against us."
"What we need to do most now is to do everything possible to avoid all troubles, devote more troops and time to clearing the grasslands, and strive to clear this area as soon as possible..." Li Zuoche said with a slight smile.
