“There are cavalry at the police station?”
Hearing Han Xin’s words, Meng Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, then laughed, and
“That’s a good idea.”
It was just that Zhao Lang and the others were still a bit confused.
Although Great Qin’s cavalry was strong and well-equipped, if they were to talk about their experience and awareness in fighting guerrilla attacks on a small scale, they really weren’t necessarily better than the Huns.
Others were born to do this.
Mengtian didn’t sell out at this time, even if he is smart, he must not show off and then look stupid to his superiors.
Han Xin was still young and vigorous in the end, and when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still here, he didn’t do much explaining, so he just gave the order.
It was good that he understood the other party’s strategy.
So Meng Tian quickly said.
“The more our army wants to raid the Xiong Nu’s rear, the more we must let them know that our cavalry has been sent out!”
“Until we beat these people into not daring to cross the Great Wall easily, thinking that all our cavalry are on the front line, then we’ll take them back and split up for a surprise attack!”
“Only, this time we are to be prepared, otherwise the cavalry loss is too big, and then want to raid, it is also difficult….”
“So all over the border army, to do a good job of receiving, and then more layout with horse trap and so on.”
Waiting for MengTian to finish, the other talents nodded in realisation.
Zhao Lang also smiled and said.
“Good good good! Just follow this order!”
Meng Tian then led the order, and
“Honouring the order, I’ll ask all the generals to return to the camp and make early preparations.”
“Yes!”
Soon after all the generals saluted, they all left one by one, preparing to deploy for battle.
After the generals had all left, Meng Tian’s face suddenly became slightly more serious and said.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince, cavalry raids are an established strategy, but nowadays, our army’s situation is actually not in our favour, and for this great battle, our army must be prepared for everything.”
Although the number of people had outnumbered the Xiongnu, the fighting strength of those new troops was still limited.
When the Qin cavalry went to raid the other side after that, the other side would know that they had been tricked as soon as they received the news.
When the Xiongnu’s cavalry counterattacked at that time, the Qin army could not check and balance it, and the loss would not be small.
Listening to Meng Ten finish the trick, Zhao Lang also couldn’t help but frown slightly, this was indeed a big problem.
Of course, it is not without a solution.
Zhao Lang pondered for a while, and with a few cold words, said.
“Since that’s the case, then we’ll let them have no time to counterattack!”
“When the cavalry raids, we’ll go out of the Wall to claim the battle, so they won’t have time to focus on the rear.”
“When they receive the news, we’ll give them a victory and a bait to see what they’ll choose.”
Listening to Zhao Lang’s words, both Meng Ten and Han Xin couldn’t help but freeze for a moment.
Frontal solo battle, covering the cavalry raid, this was something that had been discussed before, and it was indeed a good method of warfare.
But what do you mean it was to give them a victory? Giving them another bait?
Zhao Lang had only mentioned some of this to them before, but not the details.
How can the formulation of such a grand strategy, which concerns the safety and security of the entire northern part of Qin, be so hasty?
Han Xin was about to say something, when Meng Ten, who was on the side, saw this and immediately said.
“Your Highness, should we consider this matter further?”
It was understandable for a young scion to be impulsive.
It was time for him to come to his defence, as he had done with Zhao Lang in the beginning, and was now doing the same with Han Xin.
Zhao Lang naturally knew the other party’s concern, and immediately smiled and said.
“General Meng, do you still remember what I told you before I went to Liaodong?”
“Han Xin, do you remember that I told you that I would give you a relatively closed battlefield?”
“I took that idea in Liaodong and implemented it, with good results,”
Both of them heard their eyes light up, of course they had read the battle report of Liaodong, they just didn’t care too much about it.
After all, all the Hu people that entered Liaodong were only 10,000 only.
It was just that they didn’t expect that Zhao Lang had used them to do his own plan all over again, and Meng Tian quickly asked.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince, when you came back before, how come I didn’t hear you mention it?”
It’s been two months since then.
Zhao Lang smiled and said back.
“This plan is a bit risky, so naturally I had to calculate it in detail, so I made a map.”
Meng Tianteng directly praised it at once, and
“Your Highness the Crown Prince is really meticulous!”
Of course, if it were a different person who hid this kind of thing for two months without saying a word, and went to get some kind of messy map, Meng Tian wouldn’t mind getting the other person killed.
As for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, a few words of praise against his will would be enough.
If the plan doesn’t work, then he will politely reject it.
Zhao Lang didn’t know what was going on in Meng Tian’s mind, but smiled and said.
“Please also follow me, both of you.”
After saying that, he led the way towards his tent, and the two followed.
Very quickly, when they arrived in front of Zhao Lang’s tent, the two of them noticed quite a few people coming in and out of the tent, as well as some craftsmen with tools.
This was not a suitable place to look at maps and discuss important military matters.
Meng Tian said at once.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince, there are actually quite a few maps in the army, why don’t we have the attendants send them over, or would it be better to deliberate in the middle army.”
Han Xin’s heart is also a bit helpless, he served Zhao Lang is good, but the other party’s ability to lead the army, and compared to him, it is too much difference.
Zhao Lang laughed and said.
“No harm done, General Meng take a look at the map first.”
After saying that, he went straight into the tent.
Seeing that Zhao Lang was so insistent, Meng Ten was slightly more attentive, he knew that Zhao Lang might not be as good as the two men militarily, but he wouldn’t mess around.
So he also followed and walked in, and Han Xin had to follow.
Once inside the tent, Meng Ten and Han Xin froze in place.
In front of them were quite a few smiths, but of course, that wasn’t the point.
The point was that in the middle of these craftsmen was a large, lifelike map that was nearly a zhang in length and width, with mountains and water!
“What is this?”
Han Xin asked directly with a few moments of incredulity.
He had been poor since he was a child, but he had never seen these before.
And Meng Ten said with a hard look on his face.
“This is the map of mountains and rivers.”
Hearing Meng Tian’s words, Zhao Lang couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows and said.
“Not bad, it is precisely the Mountain and River Diagram.”
“In the past two months, I collected information on the major mountain and river topography of two nearby counties and made a mountain and river map, just in time for you two to take a look at it.”
This thing was a sand disc, not that Zhao Lang had taken it out.
The Mozi family had it for a long time, and in the beginning, it was used to make models of houses to see how the design was.
Great Qin also used it, and Zhao Lang’s most famous evidence in his last life was the discovery of models of mountains and rivers in the tomb of the First Emperor.
This sand disc was compared to the Qin army’s maps that were simply traced with pen and ink, with no information about the topographical heights… Well, there’s no comparison!
Zhao Lang at this time, after letting all the craftsmen go out, he took a long stick and pointed at a place and said.
“This is the weak point we purposely left for the Huns, as long as they dare to cross the Great Wall.”
“We’ll follow the trend and retreat all the way to this one hill, then counterattack.”
“In this way, the Great Wall seals off their back roads, and as long as the mainland deploys well in advance, it’s a closed door.”
