In the sixth winter of the Han Yuande, it was the sixth day of the first month of October.
Zhidu stood on a simple arrow tower that had just been shaped, looking into the distance.
At this time, the grassland ahead was already a mess, full of bloodstains, discarded weapons, and discarded arrows.
There were even the corpses of several dead horses, lying in a mess of mud, and the bodies of the horses had been covered with a thin layer of ice.
"The general of the chariot is there," Zhi Du asked, turning to the officer who had come up to him out of breath.
"Returning to the general, the general of the Che Cai has just sent a message to our army with a flying pigeon, and the army has passed through New Xianyang, and it will arrive in Qiyang about tomorrow," the officer said, holding a report.
"Zhiyang," Zhidu raised his head and looked at the sky.
The origin of Zhiyang is very clear.
In the early and middle Warring States period, the powerful Wei State dominated the world and dominated the world.
The hegemony of Wei reached its peak in the early period of the reign of King Hui of Wei.
Punched Qi Guo and kicked Han Zhao.
At that time, Qin Guo was a fart Shang Jun was still fighting and playing with the old nobles of Qin.
It was also at that time that King Wei Hui sent troops out of the dynasty and established the city of Qiyang in this land between the rivers.
Zhidu still has a relationship with Zhiyang City, and its ancestors once served as the Zhiyang Order.
But it's a pity that history played a big joke on the Wei people.
After the construction of the city of Qiyang, the hegemony of the Wei State quickly melted like the ice and snow of the sun.
In the year when the city of Qiyang was built, the powerful Wei Wushu was defeated by Sun Bin, and the Wei State not only did not realize its strategy of destroying Zhao, but instead took the hegemony of Wenhou and Wuhou.
Since then, the state of Wei has been in a state of collapse.
Successively defeated Qi and Qin.
Naturally, this Yang could not be defended, and it became the city of Zhao State.
After that, Qiyang fell into the hands of Qin Ting.
Thinking of these past events, Zhidu sighed, the vicissitudes of life, two hundred years ago, the place where his ancestors used to be famous, but now, has long been buried deep in the grass.
It is said that there are only two ruins left of the city And Zhiyang, as its name suggests, is in the south of the river.
After Zhenyang, continue to move forward, it is Linwo, after Linwo, you can see the ruins of Qin Zhao Jiuyuan City.
With the marching speed of the Yi Zong's troops, at the very least, it would take four days before they could reach the ancient city of Jiuyuan, echo with their own army, and relieve themselves of the siege.
But here's the thing "Can I hold out for another four days" Zhi Du muttered to himself, looking at the scene presented in the clairvoyant mirror, he felt a little creepy.
In the clairvoyant mirror, in the depths of the grassland in the distance, there are all human figures.
There are so many of these figures that there is no end in sight.
Zhi Du noticed this situation yesterday.
Light cavalry was also sent to reconnoitre, and in order to obtain information, there were more than 100 cavalry, which were lost in the process of reconnaissance.
But their sacrifice was worth it.
Because, according to the reconnaissance, the Huns drove a large number of slaves.
It is reported that at least twenty or thirty thousand slaves were driven together by the Huns with leather whips.
What the Huns were going to do It's already coming out.
Drive out the unarmed people and let them be used as cannon fodder to fill the enemy's trenches and moats.
In the war at the end of Qin, similar scenes have been staged more than once.
Ironically, this trick is usually very effective.
The unarmed civilians were in front, the army was behind, and as soon as the civilians in front broke through the enemy position, the army immediately entered it.
Even if these civilians are unable to break through the enemy lines.
That's not a big deal for the attacker.
Left and right are just a bunch of dead cannon fodder And for the Huns, it didn't matter even more.
The cannon fodder of the Huns, for the time being, is very sufficient.
According to intelligence, they attacked Dawan last year and captured hundreds of thousands of slaves.
Even if a tenth of them are put on the battlefield to act as a leader, Zhi Du feels a lot of pressure Not to mention that the Xiongnu themselves also had a large number of herdsmen and vassals.
If the Huns were given time, it would be easy to mobilize more than 100,000 cannon fodder to act as meat shields.

In fact, there is no need for 100,000 cannon fodder, even if it is 20,000 or 30,000 cannon fodder, Zhi Du feels unbearable.
After all, even 20,000 pigs were rushed over.
Theoretically, it is also possible to storm into the camp of the Han army.
And if tens of thousands of cannon fodder can be used, the Huns can eat their own army.
Then, Zhidu believes that the Huns will never feel distressed Therefore, Zhi understood that the Huns must not be allowed to see any possibility of success with the tactics of cannon fodder rushing forward.
Otherwise, countless cannon fodder will rush over one after another.
Thinking of this, Zhidu asked Han Ze, the commander of the loyal army beside him: "How long will it take for the reinforcements of Shangjun and Taiyuan to reinforce our army?"
Now, Zhidu deeply feels the problem caused by the lack of his own troops.
After all, his journey was originally just a partial division, just to attract the attention of the Huns, so that the main force of the Han army in the clouds could successfully take Ziling, and the soldiers came out of the sky.
But now, the surprise soldier has become the main force of the front.
All original plans were nullified.
The Huns in Heyin and Yiliang behind Heyin, the hedgehog gathered at least forty or fifty thousand main forces.
Originally, these Huns should have fought against the main force of the Han army in Honghu Sai at this moment.
But now, they are all like crazy people, surrounding the Zhidu Division.
Even if Zhidu has three heads and six arms, it is difficult to deploy it in such a situation.
Therefore, he is now extremely looking forward to the reinforcements from Taiyuan and Shangjun coming quickly.
In these two areas, there may not be much cavalry.
But crossbowmen and material officers, it is not a problem to get together one or two thousand.
As long as these reinforcements can reach Zengshan Pass, then the loyal army can be liberated.
Although those county soldiers may not be able to compete with the Huns head-on with the elite of the commander of Zhidu, it is more than enough to maintain the supply line and protect the retreat of the Han army.
"General, there are more than 6,000 reinforcements in Shangjun, and we can arrive at Zengshan Pass this afternoon at the latest, and we can get out of the fortress tomorrow" Han Ze bowed his head and said: "But the reinforcements from Taiyuan will take at least three days."
Zhi Du listened and sighed.
He knew that in the short term, he could only count on reinforcements from Shangjun and Taiyuan.
As for the main force of the righteous column Let's talk about it after Linwo The Huns will definitely be in the Linwo area, desperately intercepting the army of the righteous column In other words, the army of the righteous column is actually very far away from his army.
Thinking of this, Zhi Du raised the clairvoyant mirror again and looked at the grove in the northwest direction.
He's been staring at it for a long, long time.
Through the observation of the past few days, Zhidu did discover that there was a trap.
However, Zhi Du was more sure that he had to take the place Nowadays, the Huns could charge the battle with cannon fodder at any time.
However, the Han army could only retreat in this corner of the river, which was very unfavorable from a strategic point of view.
Zhi Du knew that if he wanted to see the day when reinforcements arrived, the day of victory, he had to do whatever it took to win more living space and land for himself and his subordinates t1706231537:
