It can be seen that the Rouran people are also forced to do nothing. The grassland tribes never set up defensive facilities inside and outside the camp. Is cavalry defense useful?If the attacking enemy has a large number of infantry, no matter how many and strong the defense facilities are built, they will be easily breached.

The ranger scouts of the grassland tribes are very powerful, and the enemy is often discovered at a long distance. They have enough time to gather troops to fight, and the grassland tribes rarely attack the enemy camp at night.

why?Because there are no roads on the prairie, if the light is dim at night, if you are not particularly familiar with the terrain, it is easy to get lost on the vast prairie. They don't know how to use the position of the Big Dipper to identify the direction, and they don't have a compass to identify the direction. tool.

However, at this time, all the soldiers and horses of the Qianjun Northern Expedition were cavalry, and there were no infantry, so even if the defensive facilities arranged in the Rouran camp were shoddy, the Qianjun cavalry could not kill them in a short time. It is also difficult to guarantee that the Rouran people will not set up an ambush in the camp.

Chang Kun thought about it and designed a night-time harassment plan, only to harass, so that the Rouran people could not have a good rest, and did not want to break the camp to kill the enemy.

That night, the Rouran people did not rest well again. Whether it was the first or second night, there were small groups of Rouran cavalry clamoring and galloping outside the camp. The people frightened out of the tents and prepared to fight, but every time they did not find the dry army rushing into the camp.

Rouran had no choice but to rest in the tent again, but not long after, the shouts, drums and horseshoes outside the camp came again, and Rouran had to prepare for the battle again.

After going back and forth like this, there was no rest all night, the harassment was more frequent than the previous night, and it was even more difficult to fall asleep.

The officers and soldiers of the Rouran Army, who had not had a good rest for two consecutive days, looked extremely tired this morning, but from this morning onwards, the people of Rouran noticed that something was wrong, because the reconnaissance posts of the dry army were far away from the main force of Rouran. Getting closer and closer, they often observe the Rouran army at a close distance. Once the Rouran people send cavalry with a size of more than a hundred horses to surround them, they will immediately withdraw, but waiting for the Rouran people must be several units of buildings. The siege of the dry army cavalry, the Rouran cavalry had to retreat in order to reduce losses. Once they retreated, the dry army's cavalry scout post came again, which was hard to guard against.

And since this morning, the number of tentative attacks of the Rouran army has increased. Rouran people can't figure out what the Gan people want to do, but Tu Hezhen and Tan Wuye and other Rouran high-level officials quickly understood that the Gan army The purpose of doing this was that Ganjun wanted to expose the Rouran army through frequent tentative attacks.

At the same time, Tu Hezhen, Tan Wuye and the others also understood that the reason Gan Jun dared to do this must be because their main force had already arrived nearby, otherwise Gan Jun would not have the courage.

In Shenshi this afternoon, Tu Hezhen had no choice but to order the army to stop advancing and camp on a high ground, because they couldn't go on any longer. If it goes on, the entire army may collapse.

In Khan's camp, Tu Hezhen asked, "National Teacher, is there any other way for us now?"

Tan Wuye sighed in his heart, he didn't expect this battle to be like this, he said: "Khan, now we are completely suppressed by the dry army in terms of momentum, and the morale of the soldiers is not very high. In the current situation, there must be a big victory to boost the morale and momentum of our army! Judging from the current situation, if we continue to withdraw our troops to the northwest, the dry army will definitely bite us, and I am afraid it will not be a few days. Tens of thousands of horses don't need them to fight, we will collapse first!"

"We don't seem to have any other good solution at the moment. The poor monk has also observed it in the past few days. We are only passive because we can't figure out the enemy's position at all and can't counterattack! The poor monk's idea is to get back the news The power of reconnaissance, only by regaining the power of reconnaissance, can we get information about the enemy and make targeted decisions!"

Tu Hezhen nodded after listening, and asked: "What is the national teacher planning to do?"

Tan Wuye looked at one of the generals, "I think General Huhehan knows better than me what to do in this regard?"

Everyone looked at Huhehan, he thought for a while and said: "I have observed that the Qianjun has many small groups of cavalry around us. As a unit, and sometimes assembled with hundreds of cavalry and buildings as a unit, the Qianjun cleared our scouting posts through this arrangement, so that our scouting posts were besieged and killed by the small cavalry of the Qianjun as soon as they left the camp. Already!"

"So, in order to regain the power of information reconnaissance, it is necessary to destroy the deployment of the army. I have not thought of a better way. The only way is to countermeasure in the same way. Even if they cannot destroy their deployment, But we can at least regain a certain detection range!"

Tu Hezhen is also a decisive person, he asked: "How many people do you need?"

"Three thousand elites, each equipped with two horses, enough arrows, and these three thousand will not participate in large-scale battles!" Kuhehan said his request.

Tu Hezhen thought for a while and agreed: "Yes, Ben Khan will give you three thousand elites to meet all your requirements. I just want our army not to be too passive in the future and regain a certain amount of initiative!"

"Yes!"

Huhehan received [-] elite Rouran cavalry, and these Rouran cavalry are definitely not inferior to the Qianjun cavalry in terms of riding skills, and they are even better. After all, they are a nation that grew up on horseback. Riding has inherent advantages, but their shortcoming is the lack of formal and systematic training in combat tactics.

Chapter 906 The Rush of the Scouts

Although Hu Hehan didn't fully understand the specific bg li bu shu blocked by Wei Jing in reconnaissance, he also guessed a general idea through the observations of the past few days.

The [-] elite cavalry were divided into ten buildings by Huhehan, and each building was divided into three hundred cavalry teams, and each hundred cavalry team was divided into three groups. This arrangement was almost the same as that of Wei Jing's subordinates. Same again.

Under the command of Huhehan, 3000 troops spread out in a circular manner around the army and extended the search. Generally, within a mile range is a Shi force, and within a three-mile range is a tooth force. When encountering the dry army with the same number of formations, the Rouran army had to concentrate twice as many nearby troops to encircle and attack, because in terms of small-scale battles, the Rouran cavalry still lacked confidence in facing the dry army cavalry.

Huhehan's deployment was easy to implement, because the military system of the Rouran Army was learned from the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the military system of the Gan Army evolved from the Northern Wei Dynasty, and there was not much difference between the two sides.

It's just that the organization of Ya, Hundreds, and Thousands was not permanent in the Northern Wei Army, but it became a permanent organization in the Gan Army. They are the same, but there are still some differences. The Yazhu, Centurion, and Thousand Commander in the army are all official military officers. Promoted to the position of a lord or a centurion to command a force of fangs or a hundred cavalry, or to promote a master to the position of a thousand commanders, they may not be competent. It is not necessary to follow the command completely. Once he hesitates in executing the tactics, the effect will definitely be greatly reduced.

After Huhehan adjusted his organization and began to implement this tactic, the confrontation with the Gan army began, and it was quite fierce from the beginning. Facing the control of the reconnaissance range, the Gan army has already experienced enough benefits, how could it be easily handed over? let people?

As a result, the two sides fought frantically around the main camp of the Rouran Army, and small-scale battles continued to occur in all directions.

After an afternoon, when it got dark, the confrontation between the two sides decreased slightly, but the confrontation did not stop. This afternoon, both sides in the battle in all directions were victorious.

Generally speaking, the dry army wins more with fewer defeats, because the dry army has considerable experience in cooperating with this tactic. Once a certain team is attacked, the surrounding friendly forces will rush over after hearing the warning. There is a tacit understanding between them.

However, the Rouran Army is completely incomparable. In a battle with Shi as a unit, they can barely lose too much. Once they reach or even exceed the level of Ya, the shortcomings of the commander's lack of command ability and the lack of tacit cooperation between the teams It was revealed.

Lights were lit in the camp of the Rouran army, and in the khan's camp, Kuhehan reported the results of the afternoon's battle to Tuhezhen.

"Our people have controlled the range of four or five miles around the camp, and we have also arranged secret sentries at night. In the battle this afternoon, we lost 220 people. I estimate that the loss of the dry army should be less than ours!"

In one afternoon, 220 people were lost. This number of casualties made Tu Hezhen and the ministers gasp. If it was a battle on the scale of thousands of riders, they could still accept it. In the battle, they didn't expect that the casualties would be so large. In the past, it would be shocking if a reconnaissance team with more than ten riders was wiped out.

Tan Wuye said at this time: "Khan, generals, the poor monk thought that although the casualties were relatively large, the price was worth it. Before that, our scouts did not dare to leave the camp, or even dared to leave the brigade for more than Two miles, otherwise there will be danger of being surrounded and wiped out, now our people can go four to five miles, this is victory!"

"If the reconnaissance range of our scouts can extend to more than ten miles, then we won't be so passive. We will have enough time to respond to any size of troops in the dry army!"

"That's right!" Tuhe Zhen nodded excitedly, and said to Huhehan: "Huhehan, you have done a good job! Now I will give you the title of Qi Lifa in the name of Rouran Khan, and Yanran The grassland between the mountains and the Jinshan Mountains is given to you, I hope you will continue to fight bravely!"

Huhehan immediately saluted and said: "Thank you Khan, Huhehan will definitely live up to the trust of the Khan! Khan, I decided to continue the scouting campaign tonight and drive the sentry cavalry ten miles away in an orderly manner!"

"well!"

Twenty miles away, in the camp of the dry army, in the large tent of the Chinese army, incense was lit in the corner, and no mosquitoes flew in.

The generals stood on both sides, and Chang Kun quietly listened to Wei Jing's report on the sudden scouting campaign launched by the Rouran people this afternoon.

Chang Kun said after listening, "It seems that the people of Rouran have also discovered the real reason why they are passive. Now that they have started a scouting campaign and want to regain the right to reconnaissance, does His Highness King Jing have any countermeasures?"

Wei Jing shook his head and said: "There is no better way for now, we can only use this method to fight against them! Judging from the current situation, we still have an absolute advantage. They want to regain the right to investigate, and they will not let them Success!"

After thinking for a while, Chang Kun said: "If the wolf pack tactics are launched at present, the Rouran people already have countermeasures. Although the effect is mediocre, they can still cause certain casualties to us. If we launch an attack regardless of casualties, we can still attack." The Rouran Army was severely injured, but our casualties will not be small, I don't think it is necessary to spend such a price to win for the time being!"

"So, my idea is to wait for the arrival of His Majesty's main army before making a decision. According to the marching speed of His Majesty's army, it will be able to catch up at about six o'clock tomorrow morning! So, Your Highness Prince Jing, between tonight and tomorrow morning, you This side must maintain its absolute advantage, and the Rouran people must not be allowed to break through our news blockade!"

Before Wei Jing had time to agree, a small school ran in panting and reported: "His Royal Highness, the Rouran people have launched a night scout battle, and we have lost a lot of manpower in the front!"

Wei Jing's expression changed when he heard that night action is the most dangerous and threatening one. If you don't deal with it properly, you will lose the right to reconnaissance on the battlefield if you don't do it right. He immediately clasped his fists at Chang Kun and said, "General, it seems The last general has to rush back to command immediately!"

Chang Kun also knew that this was the critical time, nodded and said: "Okay, go quickly, if you need anything, you can send someone to report it at any time!"

"No, I will retire at the end!"

When Wei Jing arrived at the front line, his subordinates came to report that the dozens of cavalry squadrons near the front had all been attacked and suffered varying degrees of losses. They had to retreat two miles. Captured two miles of range of activities.

Wei Jing thought for a while and immediately ordered: "Order, all the ministries will gather in units of hundreds of cavalry and hide on the spot. Once the enemy's reconnaissance cavalry is found, unless their scale reaches the first level, they will immediately encircle and suppress them as quickly as possible." , Solve it as quickly as possible and quickly evacuate the place and find another place to hide!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Wei Jing's order was issued very timely and correctly, avoiding the situation where the small-scale troops were surrounded and wiped out by the majority of the Rouran army, and their hiding on the spot also made the various Rouran army reconnaissance cavalry teams lose their targets.

On this grassland with only dim light, a group of men and horses with only a hundred cavalry are hiding. The enemy is really not easy to come by. launched an attack.

Throughout the first half of the night, within a radius of more than ten miles, the Rouran Scouting Team and the Qianjun Scouting Team had countless confrontations. The Rouran Scouting Team who went too deep were ambushed and annihilated one after another.

In the middle of the night, Huhehan noticed that something was wrong. Many scouting cavalry teams failed to report their safety and results as agreed. He immediately realized the adjusted combat deployment of the Gan army, so he immediately ordered all the troops not to continue to report to wài wéi Scatter search.
