Advantages and disadvantages.

But relatively speaking, the Central Plains' high-level civilization, advanced technology, and collective wisdom can completely change the inherent disadvantages. On this point, Li Yuan is also convinced.

Recreate the defense posture of the Qin army on the Julu battlefield. This was a collective decision made by Li Yuan, Li Zuoche, Zhong Limei, Cao Xin, Lou Jing and other generals and counselors of the Qin army. The situation between the enemy and ourselves in the Hetao area today is similar to

The situation during the confrontation between the Qin army and the anti-Qin coalition forces in Guandong was very similar.

At that time, the main force of Zhang Han and Wang Li's Qin army was stationed in Zhao, surrounded by the troops of the anti-Qin princes. The grain and fodder needed by the Qin army had to be transferred from Guanzhong, and Wang Li, who was at the forefront of the battlefield,

The army also needs to use a corridor to ensure that the camp has sufficient supplies.

As the main force of the Qin army moves north, Gaonu City, located on the bank of the Wuding River, has become the rear base camp of the Qin army and an important material transfer point. In the strong city of Gaonu, Li Yuan left Wang Shang behind.

With Wang Shang's ability to control the battle situation, Guanzhong will not be captured by the Huns as long as Gaonu City is not lost.

As for the safety of the corridor, Li Zuoche took the order without hesitation. In front of the two armies, charging into the formation, beheading generals and capturing flags was not his strong point. However, in terms of defense and use of strategies, Li Zuoche was much better than others.

.Li Zuoche, who was famous for his resourcefulness, had an unusually sensitive sense of smell in predicting the enemy general's next possible move.

This time, Li Yuan also paid special attention to the Helian tribe of the Northern Huns, who were famous for their ferocity and barbarism. After careful consideration, he assigned Li Zuoche a lieutenant who was accustomed to fighting: Hu Zhu.

Hu Zhe was once a subordinate of the great thief Peng Yue. Now he is an ordinary captain in the Qin army. There are more than 2,000 Qin army generals under his command. This number is no different from other captains. In the Qin Dynasty,

After the Qin Dynasty defeated the Chu Kingdom, Peng Yue was appointed as the governor of Donghai County and continued to stay in the Pengcheng area. His bandits and bandits gradually integrated into the Qin army system.

In fact, not only Hu Zhe, but also Luan Bu. These former heroes of Guandong are experiencing the pain of re-employment, and as long as they get through this adaptation period, they will be with them for the rest of their military careers.

Following the pace of the Qin army's campaign, they continued to advance and advance again.

——.

November 2nd.

Helianbi led his tribe's cavalry to appear on the south bank of the river, and he was accompanied by Zang Yan's more than 3,000 rebel soldiers from the Central Plains.

These Qin traitors who betrayed their homeland are composed of guests from various countries in Guandong, old tribes, intermediaries bribed by Zang Yan, and bandits who have been attacked by the Qin army and have no place to stay. They have been burning and killing in Henan these days.

Robbery was almost all evil, and many hidden places that the Xiongnu tribe could not find were found by these guys who were familiar with the terrain.

He Lianbi looked down on Zang Yan from the bottom of his heart. He was just a villain who betrayed the interests of his homeland. But now that the Great Chanyu needed him, he had to be restrained.

"King Helian, my scouts have already investigated clearly. Some areas around the Qin Army's tunnel are not covered by sharp rocks. If we act quickly, we can cut off the Qin Army's supplies in one fell swoop before the Qin people return for reinforcements.

Line. And if you are lucky, you can wait for the Qin army's grain transport troops to arrive before taking action. By then, we will be prosperous." Zang Yan approached He Lianbi and admonished.

Although Helianbi was not trusted by Maodun, in order to appease the Helian tribe, Maodun still granted King Yougu Li to Helianbi before this expedition.

Zang Yan's call to King Helian was quite good. However, Helianbi looked at the faint corridor in the distance without looking at Zang Yan. He only said coldly: "Prince Minister Zang, military matters have their own merits."

Wang Ding decided that the task of your department is to find out clearly what methods the main force of the Qin army has not used when it comes to the north this time. I hope that you can live up to the great trust of Shanyu. If you fail because of greed for merit,

Don’t blame me for being rude about this task.”

Zang Yan was startled, the expression on his face changed several times, and finally he suppressed his anger and groaned: "The general knows, thank you for your advice. However, the Great Danyu has already ordered, within ten days, I will

The army must launch an attack on the corridor of the Qin army, and it is best to completely cut off the supply of the corridor within twenty days. Your Majesty, don’t forget it.”

After that, Zang Yan no longer had any interest in talking to He Lianbi and turned back to his own base.

People with different paths do not seek each other.

In fact, Zang Yan also looked down upon barbarian warriors like He Lianbi. Among the leaders of the Xiongnu tribes, the only one Zang Yan liked was Maodun.

"Your Majesty, this Zang Yan is too arrogant. How can we, the warriors of the Helian tribe, be humiliated by a traitor from the south?" Beside Helianbi, a tribal captain cursed angrily.

"It's just a fox pretending to be a tiger, don't worry about it. When the day our Helian tribe becomes stronger, these villains will beg and kneel in front of you and me, offer their wives and daughters and beg for forgiveness." Helianbi sneered and said.

Zang Yan’s threat.

Helianbi didn't take it seriously yet.

However, behind Zang Yan, there was the support of Mao Dun. He Lianbi asked himself that with his current strength, he was far from being able to move against this decisive and murderous man who turned his hands to make clouds and rain.

Being in a bad position, or even showing the slightest dissatisfaction, may lead to disaster.

The feud between He Lianbi and Zang Yan was just a small episode in the huge Hetao battlefield. In the face of the larger-scale changes in the battle situation, neither Mao Dun nor Li Yuan had the energy to pay attention to the psychological problems of one or two people.

, but in fact, fluctuations in people's hearts can often affect the overall situation.

"Thousands of commanders from all ministries are at home. Send the order. The whole army will march to Yiqu twenty miles away. At noon tomorrow, we will launch an attack on the enemy on time." He Lianbi was silent for a long time and shouted coldly.

He Lianbi did not entirely believe Zang Yan's specious information channels. After the border army was destroyed, Zang Yan's people had all been exposed, and the main force of the Qin army that had just entered the Hetao had strict military discipline, which Zang Yan could not find out at all.

. As the leader of the tribe, Helianbi believed in his own judgment.

In addition, the changes in the mentality of the generals within the Helian tribe also made Helianbi no longer hesitate. It has been more than three months since he came to Hetao from Beihai, thousands of miles away. As time goes by, many soldiers

I already feel homesick and my military morale is unstable. How can I defeat the enemy?

Therefore, for the Helian tribe, a quick war is actually the only option.

Fortunately, the Helian tribe had just retreated from Gaonu to Hetao a month ago, and they were no strangers to the topography of this area. Since the military action to attack the Qin army's tunnel could not be delayed any longer, they had to take the risk.

.

The only thing that worries Helianbi is that the Qin army's defenses on the corridor are unpredictable. The Qin army will have a supply point every twenty miles. At this larger supply point, there will usually be about six.

Although this small force of 700 defenders was small in number, it was the key to preventing the Huns from further destroying the corridor.

With this Qin army appearing in time, it became very difficult for the Xiongnu cavalry to complete the destruction of the corridor in a short period of time. After all, the Xiongnu cavalry was good at field battles, not how to transform the Qin people's solid corridors into

It turned into a pile of waste. They might be able to burn the wooden fence and burn the logs to char, but this would not affect the passage of the corridor. The Qin army's heavy troops only needed to pull in a few more carts, and they could get there within a quarter of an hour.

Repair all damaged areas.

Yiqu.

An important node on the corridor of the Qin army, and the target of the corridor attack that the Huns finally identified. This place is located in the middle section of Bainijing and Gaonu City, and is the source of the upper reaches of the Wuding River. There is abundant water and grass around it. Even in winter, it is

The grassland moistened by water is also a little green, which is very suitable for the grassland tribes to rest.

Being able to attack the opponent while giving him the opportunity to further rest and preserve his strength was Helianbi's decision after careful consideration. For this reason, he did not hesitate to almost turn against Zang Yan. He had to admit that Helianbi's battlefield

His interpretation ability is excellent. On the long corridor, it is not easy to find the weakest point of the Qin army. Some places may look like flaws, but they may also be traps set by the Qin army.

Starting from early November, for seven days, the Helian tribe launched multiple rounds of exploratory attacks on the corridors of the Qin army in the Yiqu area. The evolution of the battle situation made Helianbi look livid.

The corpses of the Huns cavalry lay scattered on the cold ground. Some of them fell forward, and some simply looked up at the blue sky unwillingly. They charged bravely again and again, but what they got in return was not breaking through the Qin army's defense and occupying this supply.

The cheers of the earth.

He Lianbi's actions were very cautious. He did not refer to Zang Yan's opinion. The one-time investment of troops was only about a thousand people. However, this small amount of troops did not play a decisive role for the Qin army's baggage troops guarding the corridor.

.But it can expose all the trump cards of the Qin army.

Judging from the exposed equipment of the Qin army, the Qin infantry guarding the corridor were equipped with machine crossbows, coupled with the fences on both sides, and solid chariots as barriers. From these analysis alone, the Qin army seemed to be confident in guarding the corridor.

"Your Majesty, it has been seven days. The Great Chanyu's messengers have come in three consecutive batches. If the delay continues, the general will no longer be able to protect the Helian tribe." Beside Helianbi, Zang Yan made a distressed expression.

He looked like he was talking, but there was clearly a look of gloating on his face.

He Lian Bi laughed ferociously and said, "There is no need to say more, Minister Zang. You can tell the Great Chanyu that within three days, I, He Lian Bi, will destroy the corridor and will not hinder the movement of the army."

Battle of the Tunnel.

With the rumble of war drums, it is entering the hottest stage step by step. While He Lianbi and Li Zuoche are playing chess, Mao Dun and Li Yuan, the two people behind the scenes, are closely following each other.

Watch each other's every move, hoping to find a breakthrough from the flaws exposed by the other party.
