Chapter 459 What is should?(2/2)

Bai Ran shot two rounds of arrows with 3,000 men and horses, and then came back at full speed. He reported to Touman that the combat effectiveness of the Qin army had declined rapidly, which was extremely childish.

But Touman did not reprimand him, but patted him on the shoulder and praised him greatly.

Eight hundred steps, with the combat power shown by this Qin army at Gaoque, the charge was reached in an instant. Did this Qin army travel for eleven days and nights to finish the food and grass, or was it trying to lure me in?

Touman thought for a moment and gave the order.

"Send my military order! Surround this Qin army!"

With Touman's words, 170,000 men and horses were mobilized from a square formation into a long line, drawing a large circle around the Qin army in the center.

No matter what the commander of the Qin army planned, it is a fact that he walked for eleven days and nights without any food or supplies.

The dry food that I, the Xiongnu warrior, can carry with me can only last for three days at most. Even if the Qin army can carry more, it should be almost consumed in these eleven days and nights.

As long as I surround you without attacking, I will wait for the morale of this Qin army to collapse, and that's when I will take over the horses and armor and kill the traitor!

The hoofs of the war horse were flying, carrying Touman's thoughts flying farther and farther, and Touman's smile became deeper and deeper.

He didn't know what his traitorous son had said to the commander of the Qin army, so that the invincible Qin army could go deep alone and fall into despair.

Perhaps, this was a gift from the traitorous son to his father?

The 170,000 Xiongnu army surrounded the 60,000 Taotie Army. Touman originally thought that this Qin army would break through immediately before the encirclement was closed.

Although this only prolongs the time of death, it is actually of no use.

It took eleven days and nights to come, and eleven days and nights to return.

Touman did not believe that this Qin army could carry twenty-two days and nights of rations!

But people are afraid of death and yearn for survival. It can be delayed for a while.

However, this Qin army seemed to have not seen the movements of the Xiongnu army, stationed on the spot, indifferent, and allowed to be surrounded.

Seeing that the encirclement was complete, Touman felt a little uneasy, but he couldn't tell where the uneasiness was.

He immediately set up camp and summoned many tribal leaders to discuss military matters and try to brainstorm ideas.

All the tribal leaders unanimously believed that this was the most appropriate method of warfare. No one proposed taking the initiative to attack, and no one thought there was anything wrong with this method of warfare.

The mark of fear left by Meng Tian was still there, and even if they faced the exhausted Taotie army who had been walking for eleven days and nights, they did not dare to go up and fight with it.

Since everyone said this, Touman felt relieved and ordered the tribal leaders to take care of their own people and be prepared for the Qin army to break out at any time.

All the tribal leaders should do the same and return to their respective tribes, asking the tribesmen to take turns to replace them day and night without slacking off.

Soon, the day passed and night fell, and the Huns army was all in high spirits.

With the cover of night, it is much easier to break through than during the day.

The lights in Touman's camp were brightly lit, and he opened his eyes wide, ready to respond to the Qin army's surprise attack at any time.

One night passed, and the Qin army made no move.

Man, who had not slept all night, looked at Qin Jun in the distance with his eyes red and bloodshot, as if nothing happened.

The outermost perimeter of the Qin army was covered with armored war horses, which blocked the inside so tightly that the situation could not be seen at all.

The few Qin troops on duty were also fully armed, but they looked like vague shadows from a distance, and their expressions and movements could not be seen.

"Chanyu, everyone who came within three hundred steps of the Qin army died last night!"

The guard came to report.

Taking advantage of the darkness last night, Touman asked someone to inquire about the actual situation of the Qin army.

"How did you die?"

"It should be a crossbow arrow..."

Touman narrowed his eyes.

"What is should?"

The guard lowered his head and did not dare to look, gritted his teeth and said:

"Not a single body was recovered!"

Failure to recover a body means that the injuries cannot be examined.

If you can't test the injury, you won't know why it was injured.

"Behead it!"

Touman was furious. Under the defeated eyes of the guards who longed for forgiveness, he looked at the black line and his head was covered with black lines.

How did this Qin army maintain its combat effectiveness? Did they kill horses? Or did they allocate the remaining rations to the crossbowmen?

Behind the armored horse, Liu Bang held a telescope in his hand and stared at the Huns soldiers in the distance.

Beside him was the Hun prince, Maodun, with a complex expression.

"You Huns are fighting, well, you have quite an idea."

Liu Bang, who took off his telescope, pretended to be serious. After a while, the corners of his mouth turned up and he turned around hurriedly.

During the more than ten days of marching, he and Mao Dun got along well, and it was hard to laugh out loud.

He didn't understand. Before Li Mu appeared in the Zhao Kingdom, they could only guard against the Huns who could not attack. What was there to guard against? Isn't it too stupid?

There is no point in encircling an army of more than 100,000 people. They can just find a direction and break through with a single charge. These Huns still want to use their bodies to block the iron armor? What a joke!

Modu lowered his head, feeling very complicated.

Being trained as the next Shanyu, he knew the Xiongnu's tactics very well and could also understand his father's choice.

My father must have thought that this Qin army lacked food and had no fighting capacity.

If an army that is short of food does not have camp roars and fights among itself, then how can it have the combat effectiveness to break out of an encirclement?

Attacking hastily will only increase casualties. Encircling without attacking is the best option.

But all this is based on a lack of food.

Mao Dun, who had followed the Taotie Army for eleven days, knew very well that this army had never lacked food, and its combat effectiveness had not weakened at all until now.
