Chapter 1287

At the same time.

Qingshuihe region.

On the grassland.

The Da Qian camp stood on the boundless grassland, like a giant dragon coiled up.

The main camp.

"Grass!"

"These Xiongnu people don't confront our army head-on at all. Our Po Lu bows are strong, and our stirrups are strong, but we can't even see a single hair of the Xiongnu people. How are we supposed to fight?"

Lv Zhen was in armor, and a look of anger appeared on his aged face.

He was furious and slapped the table, making a huge sound.

Following these words from Lv Zhen, the large camp suddenly fell into silence.

Although Wang Zhong was unhappy with Gao Yang and had a grudge against Gao Tianlong, the crusade against the Xiongnu was a matter of heaven, so he didn't mix in personal emotions.

And this battle was also related to Wang Zhong's military merit.

But the current situation was very unfavorable for Da Qian.

The Xiongnu's difficulty was even greater than before!

"Since entering the Qingshuihe region, our army has gone fifty miles deep into the grassland, but we have never encountered the main force of the Xiongnu. If we continue to stalemate like this, our army's grain and supplies will face great pressure."

"Grand General, what should we do now?"

"Please decide quickly!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Tianlong's aged face had no expression, but the gloomy face and clenched fists proved that his heart was also extremely uneasy.

After a long while, Gao Tianlong said.

"There is no good way right now."

"All scouts of the army, go out!"

"With all our strength, search for the traces of the Xiongnu main force!"

Following Gao Tianlong's military order.

The messenger hurriedly stood out and shouted, "Yes!"

Immediately after, he hurriedly went down to convey the military order.

Tens of thousands of Da Qian elites set off from Changancheng, and the elites from all over the way gathered to form a one-hundred-thousand-strong army, stepping into the Qingshuihe grassland. The materials and grain used behind it were an astronomical figure!

The purpose was to recapture the Qingshuihe region and strike the Xiongnu hard!

At the beginning, the Xiongnu people also sent small cavalry units, wanting to harass from the flanks.

But since the birth of stirrups and horseshoes, and the Po Lu bows equipped with pulley sets.

The Xiongnu's advantage in head-on confrontation instantly vanished, and they were caught off guard. But immediately after, the Xiongnu people adopted a turtle-shrinking tactic.

This is also a trick that the Xiongnu people have always used: when the enemy is weak, we fight; when the enemy is strong, we hide.

A one-hundred-thousand-strong army goes deep into the grassland, and the grain and supplies behind it will be an astronomical figure.

Once the combat time is prolonged, Da Qian's grain pressure will be great.

Now Da Qian has been entrenched in the Qingshuihe region for ten days, but the battles between the two sides have not even reached three. This Xiongnu is clearly avoiding war.

This makes the Da Qian elites feel like they have strength but nowhere to use it.

At this time.

"Report!"

"Inform the Grand General, emergency military situation, Wenhou Wang Xin ignored the military order, led his two thousand men, and fled back to the Xiongnu. Now he is nowhere to be found!"

The messenger stepped into the camp, and his voice suddenly rang out.

Following this voice from the messenger, the atmosphere in the military camp suddenly changed.

Lv Zhen was horrified, stepped forward and grabbed the messenger by the collar, "Wenhou Wang Xin has rebelled? Is this news true?"

For a time, many eyes were focused on the messenger.

The messenger was frightened by this terrifying power, but he still said, "Grand General, this subject guarantees with his life, it is true!"

Lv Zhen suddenly let go, his face ugly.

Gao Tianlong's face was also extremely ugly.

Tiger Guard General Li Zhenxiao, Yi Army General Sun Jingbian, and Wang Zhong all had gloomy faces.

Wang Xin was a Han name. He was originally a small Xiongnu king. When he invaded Da Qian before, he was captured alive by the Da Qian military.

But this person stated his identity on the spot, wanting to surrender to Da Qian and work for Da Qian, so the Da Qian late emperor titled him Wenhou.

First, this move was Da Qian's hope to treat the small Xiongnu king well and send a signal to the Xiongnu people that they don't have to fight to the death, and they can get preferential treatment if they surrender.

Secondly, Wang Xin was a small Xiongnu king, knowing the environment on the grassland. If they really sent troops to the Xiongnu, he would be a rare help.

This time, since the Xiongnu invaded Da Qian on a large scale, Wang Xin requested to fight at the first time, generous and impassioned.

Wu Zhao also ordered him to follow the army and ordered him to lead two thousand men, placing high hopes on him.

But I didn't expect that this guy actually rebelled!

In this way, the situation for Da Qian is becoming more and more unfavorable.

"Damn it!"

"The Xiongnu people are just a group of white-eyed wolves that can't be fed. This Wang Xin rebelled, so our army's combat target and grain supplies are all exposed."

"How can we fight this?"

Wang Zhong's face was ugly, and he punched the table.

Lv Zhen's face was gloomy, and he said to Gao Tianlong, "Everything is clear. This old man felt strange before."

"Judging from these few battles, the Xiongnu people know our army's troop deployment very well, avoiding the real and attacking the weak, specializing in attacking our army's grain road. It turns out that there was a traitor among us."

"This Wang Xin, don't let him fall into this old man's hands, otherwise this old man will definitely let him know what true cruelty is!"

Gao Tianlong took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and a voice of heartache followed.

"All is fair in war. On the battlefield, there are all kinds of dirty tricks. This Wang Xin might be a card that the Xiongnu Chanyu planted in our Da Qian early on!"

"It's just a pity for those two thousand good sons of our Da Qian!"

For a time, everyone was silent.

Since Wang Xin rebelled, the two thousand men under him naturally don't have to think about it. Either they are forced to surrender to the Xiongnu, or they... die!

As Gao Tianlong said, this chess piece Wang Xin might have been planted by the Xiongnu Great Chanyu early on.

This opponent of theirs cannot be underestimated!

Tiger Guard General Li Zhenxiao said in a deep voice, "Grand General, Wang Xin rebelled, our army's intentions are all exposed. What should we do now?"

"Whether to fight or retreat, please decide, Grand General!" ===== CHAPTER 1289 =====
