Soon after, Montaigne finished the basic situation of the recent past, and then asked the others, the
“Do you have any countermeasures?”
Meng Ten asked this, of course, not because he had no idea in his own mind, but because asking for countermeasures was also a basic means of communication, and could also exercise his own generals.
The ones here are the core generals of the Great Qin Border Army, and their growth is related to the safety and security of the Great Qin borders afterwards.
Hearing the questioning, the generals of all sizes in the tent had a somewhat gloomy look, the Huns’ attack this time was different from previous years, they all already knew about it.
“Great General, the last general thought that this time to deal with the Xiong Nu, we should still use the Great Wall as a defence line for defence.”
Soon a veteran general said.
“As long as these people get off their horses, they will be no match for us.”
Most of the other generals couldn’t help but nod their heads as well, Great Qin’s border army had been fighting with the Xiongnu for so many years, and had long ago researched a set of solid fighting methods.
The Huns relied on the high mobility of their cavalry, and Great Qin had built the Great Wall just for defence.
Of course, the Great Wall should be used as a backdrop for defence.
On the ground, Great Qin is the strongest in the world, bar none.
Meng Tian, however, didn’t immediately express whether or not he could do so, but instead looked at the others, only everyone didn’t say any more.
In other words, this is what the vast majority of generals think, military matters, of course, is to be prudent.
Only then did Meng Ten turn his gaze to Zhao Lang and asked.
“Does Your Highness the Crown Prince have any strategies?”
Everyone instantly looked at Zhao Lang as well, and there was some complexity in their expressions.
Of course they knew Zhao Lang’s identity, the Crown Prince of Great Qin, but also the leader of the Hundred Schools of Thought, which now included the Military School, and had also calmed the civil unrest in Great Qin.
He had already been famous for a long time.
In a way, it is also the leader of them and Meng Tian.
It’s just that the Qin generals here are the ones who put Great Qin ahead of the soldiers.
But when the other party came into sight, they realised that the other party was still so young.
The mood is more or less complicated.
Zhao Lang didn’t care about the psychological activities of the Qin generals, but meditated slightly for a while and said.
“General Meng, although the method this general said is sound, the situation this time is slightly different.”
“This time, it’s not just the Xiong Nu’s side, there are also the Qiangs, and the Yuezhi.”
“Adding these two sides, the length of our army’s defence is over thousands of miles! If we still follow the previous defence method, I’m afraid the northern counties will suffer heavy losses.”
“And, as
If the Huns break through the weak spot and then attack towards the hinterland, I’m afraid that Great Qin’s losses will be even greater.”
Zhao Lang quickly spelled out the concerns that he had already thought about one by one, then concluded by saying.
“So this time, I want to take the initiative.”
Hearing Zhao Lang’s words, the others said, almost in unison.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince! Never!”
Of course they knew that Zhao Lang was telling the truth, and they were already prepared to accept the loss.
Because the actual situation was just like this, and what happened to the people of the counties and counties in the North in previous years was just the same, the
There was no choice.
But Zhao Lang actually said he would take the initiative, which is a joke.
Even Meng Tian himself froze for a moment.
Although he had raided the Huns with his army before, and had driven the Hun’s royal court, deep into the grasslands.
But that was by surprise, and with the loss of quite a few people, he just drove the other side out.
Can’t you see that now the other party is making a comeback?
Now the situation is even more different, the military strength of the Xiong Nu is far beyond what it was back then, and the Qin army would be out of their minds if they abandoned the Great Wall and fought hard with 300,000 Xiong Nu cavalry on the grasslands.
Mengtian said at this time, also a bit unable to hang on.
“Your Highness, this response is still a bit aggressive, after all, the grasslands, or different from the south.”
“Although our cavalry is also very strong, but the number is a little less, these two years of vigorous preparation and expansion, but only tens of thousands.”
Although Zhao Lang’s this idea is very general, but the face also still have to give, mentioning the south is also to tell the other generals, Zhao Lang but have actual war achievements.
By the way, it also gave a step for Zhao Lang to take.
It was just that Zhao Lang didn’t have any intention of coming down, but instead said, extremely seriously.
“If we don’t do this, we won’t be able to sneak up on these people’s old homes.”
Hearing this household, Meng Tian’s eyes brightened slightly and said.
“Sneak attack?”
Zhao Lang nodded at once and
“The main purpose of the initiative is to attract these people’s attention, then send two fierce generals to attack the back of the Qiang and Yue respectively, forcing them to give the Xiong Nu’s cavalry back, disintegrating the power of these two parties first.”
“It’s the same for the Xiongnu.”
If one could threaten the opponent’s old home, then one could disintegrate these people’s will to fight.
Right now, even though several parties had joined together, they were not ironclad.
Then again, copying the other party’s old home was his true purpose.
Otherwise, even if the attack of the Huns was repelled for the time being, in less than ten years, these peoples of the steppe would come back again.
Just like the weeds on the grassland, if you don’t get rid of the roots, they will grow again in the spring.
Mengtian also thought about it, but the old General Cheng beside him said with a little bit of urgency.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince, you are taking it for granted, the Qiang people, the Yuezhi is weak is good, with cavalry raids may be useful.”
“But the Xiongnu is not a fool, surely will leave people to defend, the grassland is the other side of the main battlefield, not to mention, that the hu people how to deal with it?”
“They are not weak.”
“And our army is only tens of thousands of cavalry, do we have to split up into four ways and spread them all out?”
When the old General Cheng finished speaking, the crowd couldn’t help but agree in unison.
Zhao Lang, however, smiled and slapped his forehead, saying.
“It’s me who was careless and forgot about the Hu people.”
Hearing this, the crowd thought that Zhao Lang had compromised, which made them feel slightly more relieved.
Meng Tian also nodded slightly as he returned to his senses, although the idea given by Zhao Lang was good, it was too risky.
These tens of thousands of Qin troops, split into four ways out, the force is still too thin.
So he faked a cough and said.
“Cough hmm, Your Highness the Crown Prince’s strategy is good, it’s just that…”
Just not waiting for Meng Tian to finish his sentence, Zhao Lang then said.
“I forgot to mention to all the generals, but this hu man is my man.”
“The cavalry of our army will just be responsible for raiding the back of the Qiangs and Yuezhi.”
“The Huns’ back roads will be taken care of by the Hu.”
“Nowadays, our army’s top priority is to select two main generals for the raid.”
Bang bang bang.
Before Zhao Lang’s words fell, there were already several generals within the tent who retreated several steps in a row, and it was only because of the large number of people behind them that they didn’t fall to the ground.
Even Meng Tian lost his voice a bit and said.
“What did you say? Your Highness, this is not something that can be joked about!”
Zhao Lang didn’t hide it anymore.
“The leader of the Heavenly God Tribe that controls the Hu people’s royal court today is my man.”
“I’m also the Heavenly God of the grasslands, if General Meng doesn’t believe me, the Hu people’s Heavenly God emissary is within my camp today, so you can see for yourself.”
“And when the time comes, I will have the Hu people’s cavalry attack Xiongnu at the critical time.”
Hearing these words, all of a sudden, the entire camp was silent.
