Chapter 313: The Sheathed 'Fat Sheep'

"Report! The rear army has been attacked by the Xiongnu. Shall our troops go to their aid" The messenger from the rear delivered the news.

"What" The former general reined in his warhorse. "The rear The Xiongnu didn't take the bait"

"Don't worry," Lu Cheng said, looking at the battlefield. There were various messages from scouts on the surface, and the army was a mix of real and feigned: "The vanguard marched quickly and there was no trouble. The Xiongnu let them pass, and our rear is guarded by Wind-Soil Camp. Even if we are surrounded, it's not a big problem. We don't know how many Xiongnu there are, but they must be feigning an attack. I think they just want to slow down the rear army's progress. Their real target is still us!"

The former general pondered for a moment, then sneered, "Well now, this is a pocket! Let's slow down and wait for them. Want some meat Then let them come!" he laughed heartily.

The Huns generally pick on the weak, and they are very quick. It's difficult for Qin's elite soldiers to catch them, and it's incredibly frustrating.

Last time at Jiuyuan City, they suffered a loss, and they definitely wouldn't dare to clash head-on with the elite Qin army.

To take advantage of the Xiongnu on the plains, you can probably only fish.

The Hun were lured into attacking Qin army's Lingwang shield-and-crossbow formation, and got completely destroyed.

"General, do you want to make a big splash" Lu Cheng studied the battlefield and licked his lips.

What grand strategy are you plotting, older brother Zhuge You're brilliant, but your younger brother is a master of warfare too.

"How do you say" the former general asked in confusion.

"The reason the Xiongnu felt so confident was because they were overall much faster and more mobile than us. I guess they would encircle their targets, but they'd only send one group of soldiers to attack like hunters. Even if things went wrong, the other cavalry would hear the commotion and scatter quickly. We wouldn't be able to catch up, would we" Lu Cheng asked."

"That's how it is, but there's no other way. General Meng Tian's fishing tactic is estimated to only take down the vanguard of the Xiongnu, and also serve as a deterrent." The former general shook his head. At most, it could dispose of two thousand-rider regiments, nothing more. The psychological effect outweighs the actual effect.

"So, if we want to catch up with the main force, we shouldn't slow down and wait. We should accelerate and strive to join them as soon as possible," Lu Cheng shook his head.

The former general was a little baffled: "Our troop mobility isn't bad. If we successfully break through the encirclement and meet up, the Huns will definitely give up. Wouldn't that be too easy for even the vanguard"

"Not so, not so," Lu Cheng looked at the battlefield and smiled mysteriously: "General, think about it, we're not the central chariot troops of a mighty Qin army now. We are an auxiliary regiment, meat! We have to be professional, professional fat needs a purpose!"

What are you going to do

"You have to try your best to run away! That way they'll have the motivation to chase you. If they catch up, hehehe!"

On the grassland, distant flames flickered, indicating a battle in progress.

Huyan Xin rode atop a snow lion, the silvery moonlight reflecting off it, making him appear majestic and powerful.

He actually doesn't believe in any of that Moon God nonsense. He just led his troops here to avenge his brother who died under the walls of Jiuyuan City.

Surprisingly, the power of the Moon God actually works.

With faith, the ability to fight, there will be a response.

This god is good, can be trusted.

The wide-ranging curse card, Desolation Art, is spreading across the Hexi Corridor.

This is the plan above, and even Huyan Xin doesn't quite understand it.

But the Qin army came too quickly, he had to lead his troops to delay the Qin army's advance.

Then the old tactic, let the front line troops go first, hold back the rear army, and with one wave, injure the middle army and slip away.

In the darkness, with a sudden strike, the Qin army was unable to catch up.

But all troops are to be assembled on top, under strict orders!

"Report! Report, ten thousand horsemen!" A Hunnic rider galloped towards them under the moonlight: "The rearguard has been held by Helan's thousand cavalry, my troops are fighting with the main force, and under the cover of cavalry, the main force's chariot formation is advancing rapidly!"

Escaped

Hu Yanxin nodded.

The Zhongjun are not necessarily supply-supporting troops, but if they run away, it seems...

Don't be too hasty, observe more carefully.

"Go down," Hu Yanxin commanded, dismissing the messenger and falling into deep thought.

Not long after, a messenger horse whinnied again and galloped in.

"My Lord General, the enemy's central army has nearly 10,000 elite cavalry. Our forces can't possibly stand against them! My Lord General of a Thousand Riders, I beseech you to send reinforcements immediately!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Can't bite

It's better that way

Could the supply and guard troops be reliable

If it's too easy, it's probably a trap.

However.

Hu Yanxin smiled, it seems like this time he really caught a fat sheep.

"Order Fei Lianbu and my brother, Hu Yan Xibu, to press forward quickly! Let us use our bows to shoot them down!" Hu Yan Xin commanded.

"Yes!"

Waiting is always anxious, the white lion paces in place.

After waiting for a long time, the messenger finally arrived.

"Report, under attacks from both flanks, the enemy's central army, chariots and cavalry are disorganized! The supply wagons have abandoned their loads and are making a hasty retreat at increased speed!"

Huyan Xin smiled. An old tactic.

He knew that the heavy cavalry wouldn't panic, but the supply officer would definitely. With the encirclement complete, they could either hold their ground, but risk being completely annihilated within the siege,

Either that or escape

Then, Hu Yanxin's lips curled into a smile.

"Are you sure it's a food bag" Hu Yanxin raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Alright, I'm here!" The messenger affirmed with conviction. "We did it, sir! The enemy has abandoned their supplies and fled for their lives. We can collect our rations now!"

"Humph," Hu Yanxin sneered. "Abandoning supplies to save lives That's ridiculous."

A large amount of grain must still be there; this is just a smokescreen.

What great luck, this is a real fat sheep.

Hu Yanxin looked at the [Xiongnu Yueyi cavalry] behind him. Their arrows were enchanted, the Moon Goddess was truly generous.

The Qin army's rations cannot be taken away, but if the Qin army's rations were all burned, it would force 300,000 soldiers to turn back. Such a great achievement, what could the generous Moon God offer

I can't even imagine.

But it's pretty dangerous.

According to the battlefield situation, the Zhong army's escape speed was much faster than expected. The Qin army's central and front armies are working hard to converge. There is less than half an hour of safe time.

No wonder they chose heavy cavalry to cover the rear and flee quickly, this is just a high-speed supply team!

It's absolutely impossible to rely on just three thousand cavalry units.

It's time to stop dragging this out!

Hu Yanxin believed that on the plains, no one could outrun the Xiongnu cavalry! No one!

Drew his spear and shouted.

"Command all departments, tighten your belts and prepare!"

A full 32,000 Xiongnu cavalrymen galloped across the plains, racing against time to seize Qin army supplies!

Hu Yanxin desperately spurred his warhorse, clutching his spear tightly in his sweaty hand.

Hurry up!

For a moment, he even regretted it, being too cautious and making the encirclement too large.

Could not catch up

Oh.

Hu Yanxin felt a little discouraged.

"Report! The Wu tribe's light cavalry successfully intercepted the advance, we did it! The supply train has stopped!"

Hu Yanxin suddenly raised his head!

Wow, this is such a surprise!

Wu Shi takes the lead this time!

Aren't you running anymore

Are you out of hope Or do you think you can hold out here until reinforcements arrive

"Send the order! The entire army attacks!"

Hu Yanxin quickly changed direction, leading a contingent of Xiongnu cavalry towards the battlefield, rapidly contracting the encirclement.

You can already see the lights of the Qin army's camp.

Whew!

A light crossbow bolt whizzed past, and to their surprise, the opposing convoy retaliated

Although their firepower is sparse, let's give them a lesson!

The Xiongnu cavalry archers behind him rode forward, drew their bows and nocked arrows. For a moment, the tips of their arrows glinted with silver in the light.

And the Xiongnu tribes who had completed the encirclement from other directions also began to shoot!

An arrow, trailed by a silver-bright plume, flew toward the Qin army's wagon train, exploding heavily on top of it. Moonlight burst open.

Hu Yanxin frowned.

It doesn't seem to be working.

Big shield

When did supply wagons with shields become available

The grain trucks formed a circle, truly with shields.

The counterattack was weak, but the food truck's defenses seemed quite effective.

"So it's a turtle shell, huh No wonder you have the guts to stay put and wait for reinforcements."

Normally, the Huns would just walk away if they encountered a situation like this, looking for an easier target.

But Hu Yanxin didn't want to leave. The delicious meat was right at his fingertips; he couldn't give up just because the shell was thick.

Time is slipping away every second. If we don't hurry, the Qin army will be here any moment.

Such auxiliary regiments, no matter how well-equipped they are, pose no threat. Just look at their counterattack strength - they have shells but no spikes.

Then

"Charge! All mounted troops, attack! Kill them all, none shall be spared!!"
