Chapter 85: King vs. King

The autumn breeze blows on your body, and the chills are blew.

However, the Han soldiers did not feel cold at all. They had a fierce fighting spirit in their eyes and drove north without hesitation.

"rumble!"

Two hundred thousand Han troops advanced, with their mighty power and footsteps trembling.

Zhou Yang was riding on the war horse. When he looked around, he saw a red tide rushing northward.

Excited! Zhou Yang's chest was slightly ups and downs, and he was rarely excited.

Zhou Yang never dreamed that he would become the commander of the 200,000 Han army, and would also command them to fight against the Huns. This was a hard battle, the largest venue in the decades of war between the Han and the Huns.

Who can not be excited if such a big battle is planned and implemented by yourself?

"Report to the Grand Marshal, there is the Great Wall ahead." Zhao Ponu came over and reported loudly.

"Camp ten miles away from the Xiongnu camp." Zhou Yang nodded slightly and sent an order.

"No!" Zhao Ponu took the order and left.

As soon as the order was passed down, the Han army camped ten miles away from the Xiongnu camp.

The reason why we chose to camp ten miles away from the Xiongnu camp was to use the ten miles of open space as a battlefield.

The Han army had 200,000 and the Huns had more than 300,000. The two sides invested nearly 600,000 troops to fight a war, and the battlefield needed was very large. If the battlefield was not enough, the troops could not be deployed.

The Han army camped in an orderly manner. The chariots formed a formation of chariots, and the infantry held halberds to cooperate with them. The cavalry did not stop galloping and served as cover to prevent the Huns from sneak attacking.

The rest of the Han army began to set up villages. The Han army's villages were all ready, and it was no problem to set up a camp. The village seemed to be a devil's hand, growing rapidly. It took only one hour to set up the villages.

With the villages together, the Han army has certain defensive capabilities. Even if the Huns attack, there is no need to worry too much.

Next, digging trenches. Villages and trenches are indispensable defensive measures for the Han army to camp. I don’t know how many times they have been dug, but the Han army was familiar with it. With farm tools, they tried hard to dig them. A wide and deep trenches appeared. Then there were spikes, and a huge camp plate stood up.

The last item is to install the tent. In this kind of field battle, the tent is a must-have. The Han army's tent is in order, not as messy as the Huns, with rows in horizontal rows and vertical rows, with a wide passage in the middle, and all the connections. If one place is attacked, reinforcements will be quickly received.

The camp of the 200,000 army covers a vast area. Zhou Yang looked around and saw that the tents were one after another, and he could not see them at first sight.

Countless Han army flags fluttered in the wind and flew.

The biggest tent is of course Zhou Yang's handsome tent. It's not that Zhou Yang wants to show off his might, but that there are too many people running around, and there are also a group of generals who come to report military information from time to time and receive military orders. If the tent is too small, there is no place to hold it.

The handsome tent is tall and majestic, and it is extraordinary and can be recognized at a glance.

A handsome flag with a big character "Zhou" written on it, fluttering in the wind.

There is no furnishing in the tent of the coach. Apart from the tent of the coach, there is only a shorter one, and there is also a huge military map.

Zhou Yang knelt on the short table, put his left hand on the Shuai desk, and the Shuai desk was filled with bamboo slips.

Li Guang and the others knelt on the two sides, drinking hot tea, enjoying themselves, and squinted their eyes from time to time. Starting from Yanmen, the Han army marched for three days before they arrived here. The speed of the march was really slow enough. If it were cavalry, they would have arrived long ago.

The reason why the marching was so slow was that Zhou Yang deliberately slowed down. If he rushed forward, the marching speed could certainly be much faster. The problem was that it would consume too much physical strength and would be unfavorable to the war.

"Master, what are we going to do next?" Li Guang put the teacup and narrowed his eyes, making him feel comfortable.

Cheng Buzhi and others stared at Zhou Yang and waited for Zhou Yang to speak.

"The war is imminent, and the most important thing is to reconnaise the enemy situation and understand the terrain. I want to go to the Huns camp to take a look." Zhou Yang took a sip of tea.

Before the war, understanding the terrain and observing the enemy's movements is very important for the war and it is convenient for military use. No one will object, and Cheng Bushi said: "I want to go too."

"You all want to go." Zhou Yang nodded slightly.

Although this is under the Great Wall, a flat horse, the same as east, south and north, and it is a plain. However, looking at the terrain and understanding the Huns will still be helpful to the war. Cheng doesn't know these generals, which is even more indispensable.

"No!" Li Guang and the others took the order.

"Sir Feng, just stay and guard the camp." Zhou Yang stood up and quickly stepped out of the handsome tent.

He brought the five hundred Jianzhang Army guards, Zhou Yang and Li Guang, Cheng Buzhi, Gongsun He, Gongsun Jian, Qin Wuhui and others left the camp and headed straight for the Xiongnu camp.

The Xiongnu camp, in the tent of the Shanyu king.

The military minister Shanyu and a group of ministers were having a banquet again. For the Huns, the banquet was so common that there was not much government affairs and military affairs, and time could not be passed. If you don’t get together to eat and drink, how can you live?

Although Yi Zhixie failed to raid, the anger of the military minister Shanyu quickly disappeared. Can't raid the Han army during the march, wait for the Han army to set up camp and fight with the Han army again. With the advantage of the Hun cavalry, can't control the Han army?

By then, it would not be as simple as defeating the Han army, but to make the Han army pay a high price. In his words, "the Han army will be defeated without a single one."

It wasn't him bragging, but from the general point of view, there was indeed such a possibility. First, the Huns had the advantage of military strength, and second, they fought against the Huns in the city. This was a good opportunity for the Huns' Iron Cavalry to play. If they could not defeat the Han army, they wouldn't believe it to kill him.

Therefore, the military minister Shanyu quickly became happy again and summoned a group of ministers to continue the banquet.

As always, the most talked about by the ministers was that they would win this battle.

"The Han people are sheep, and the warriors of the Great Huns are wolf. There are 500,000 wolves, but they can't eat 200,000 sheep?"

"As soon as the Han people arrived, they would attack immediately while their foothold was not stable."

"No, let the Han people set up camp and let them rest for a while, and then have a big battle. Let the Han people know that fighting a wild battle with the Great Huns is seeking death!"

After all, the old tune is still repeated, the Huns will win and the Han army will be defeated, because the Huns' advantages are obvious.

Junchen Shanyu was very happy when he heard this, laughed loudly, and then said, "I think the chances of winning in this battle are not ten percent, but ninety percent. Do you know why it is ninety percent?"

“Why?”

The curiosity of the ministers was raised.

"We have to learn from the Han people, learn from the humility of the Han people, and leave a little room!" Junchen Shanyu couldn't help it when he said this, and laughed to the sky: "Haha!"

"Ha ha!"

There was a lot of laughter in the tent of the king, and the ministers were so happy.

A personal guard hurried in and reported to Junchen Shanyu: "The Great Shanyu, the Han army has already set up camp."

"Han army has set up camp?" Junchen Shanyu has been looking forward to the Han army heading north, but when the Han army really arrived, he was still overjoyed: "The Han army is here to die!"

"How about the Han army's camp? Is the camp of the Great Huns strong?"

"Is their tabernacle big that of the Great Huns?"

The ministers started to talk and laughed at the Han army from time to time.

The personal guards hesitated and reported truthfully: "The Great Shanyu and the Han army's camps were very strong, much more reliable than our villages. In addition, their tents were orderly, lined up in a row, lined up in a row, and the roads were unobstructed. No matter how messy our camps were, it was difficult to ride a horse."

Finally, he muttered: "That's called a camp!"

"You're talking nonsense!"

Immediately, a minister clamored: "The Han people only know how to live in their sheep pens and cities, so how can they use tents? The camps of the Great Huns are called camps."

The Huns were born in the tabernacle and died in the tabernacle. They wanted them to believe that the tabernacle of the Han army was more orderly than them, which was a bit difficult.

Although the Huns suppressed the Han Dynasty for decades, they rarely encountered the Han army's field camps. Even Maodun's siege of Baideng would lure the Han army into an ambush, leaving the Han army without camps and hastily responded.

"If you don't believe me, you can go and see it." The guard replied.

This was justified, and Junchen Shanyu's curiosity aroused: "Go and take a look!"

The ministers were not willing to fall behind, and they surrounded each other. After Junchen Shanyu came out of the tent of the king. Junchen Shanyu ordered two thousand soldiers to accompany him to guard him and led a group of ministers to check the Han army camp.

The military minister Shanyu rode the Fengbaojiao and left the Huns camp and took a group of ministers straight to the south.

At this time, outside the camp, many Huns were whispering, talking about the Han army camp.

The news of the arrival of the Han army reached the Xiongnu as fast as possible. For the Xiongnu, they were always looking forward to the Han army heading north, because the great Shanyu said that the Xiongnu would win this battle, and the Han people came to die.

Therefore, all the Hun soldiers were looking forward to cutting off the heads of the Han people as soon as possible. When they heard that the Han army was coming, they were all overjoyed and left the camp in groups and went to the Han army camp to peek.

In their opinion, the Han people's sheep pen city was strong and difficult to break through. The Han people's camp was nothing, especially the tents were definitely not as good as those of the Huns. Everyone went to peek with a contempt.

I didn't think about it, but if I didn't look at it, I couldn't help but feel ashamed. Although the Huns didn't have much shame, they had to make three points, because the Han army's camp was too organized compared to the Huns.

There were Han troops patrolling, and they did not dare to get too close to them to see the situation of the villages and trenches in detail. However, they could see clearly that the Han troops' tents were arranged neatly, lined up in a row, and arranged in a row, and in an orderly manner. They could not accept it.

The Huns lived in the tent all their lives, which was a comparison for the Han army, and they could not help but feel ashamed.

This time, the problem became big. The news spread like a wind. The Huns were driven by curiosity and went to see what happened in groups. Not to mention the soldiers, even the generals and officers, they rushed to see it.

The Huns did not have strict military regulations and regulations, and they could not be banned. The military ministers and Shanyu ignored them and just instigated the Feng Baojia to gallop.

If Zhou Yang knew about this, he would have felt very regretful. If he had known that this would have been such a sensational effect, why not fight a big battle when he was unprepared?

Zhou Yang knows how to use troops and fight, but he is not a god. He has no ability to predict the future and misses a good opportunity.

Junchen Shanyu galloped south and rode on the Fengbao riding horse. He was extremely stable and worthy of being a treasure horse. He was in a good mood. Without Red Lightning, it was also good to have this Fengbao horse. After defeating the Han army, he rode the Fengbao horse and entered Chang'an and took back the Red Lightning, the shame was washed away completely.

I saw a black water line from afar, which was the Han army's village. Whether the village was strong and whether the trench was wide and deep, it was too far away to see clearly.

Looking around, I saw countless tents, one after another, and I don’t know how many, they continued to the end of the cliff.

The tents are arranged neatly, lined up and down, each with its own rules, and the roads in the middle are well connected. One place is attacked and other places can provide quick reinforcements.

Junchen Shanyu was well-versed in military tactics, and he nodded secretly, remembering the words of the personal guards, "This is called a camp." Compared with the Han military camp, the camp of the Huns can only be called a pigpen. It is too messy and has no structure at all.

The ministers pointed and talked endlessly.

Yi Zhi looked at the Han army's camp with bright eyes, and he kept nodding, and even exclaimed loudly: "This Zhou Yang is not simple, I am deeply aware of the military strategy, I am defeated by him, it is not unfair!"
