Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

Text Chapter 1689: Victory or defeat in this battle

It is raised on the ground one foot high, and beams and wooden piers are laid, and then layers of wooden boards are laid on it. The inside is basically hollow, but a lot of thick and thin wooden sticks are added as supports. .

Coupled with a large number of wooden nails, the foundation of a camp soon gradually formed a frame, and the rest is to fill the space between the empty wooden boards and the ground with thermal insulation materials.

For this purpose, all the generals who practiced Qi Chenggang were basically signaled to come and planed. About seven or eight thousand good pine and fir were forcibly planed, soaked in oil and then filled into the gap between the board and the ground. .

After warming, pine wood shavings soaked in oil, and adding a lot of sawn wood, the heat preservation is terrible. After the efforts of more than ten thousand Yuan Jun, eight days later, the Han Army finally completed the construction of its own camp, covering 2,500 people. Terrible range of acres.

By the way, this camp is more than one foot higher than the Northern Huns, but now the snow is falling too much, and there is no obvious difference at all. The heavy snow has successfully covered up what Shenpei and others wanted to cover up.

Of course, during the eight days when the Han army built the camp, the Northern Huns really felt that their days were like years. Finally, on the sixth day, they couldn't bear it anymore and sent more than 3,000 tribesmen to attack the Han army in the snow. .

It's a pity that from the fourth day onwards, Xun Chen has ordered people to loosen the outside and tighten the inside, to strengthen the guard, cancel all night patrols, and instead arrange a large number of dark sentries. The specially built wooden camp, after moving the movable planks one by one, the dark sentries only need to Climb in and that's it.

A large number of pine and fir wood shavings are not inferior to winter clothes in terms of warmth retention. The dark whistle only needs to lie on the inside. The hollow wooden structure makes the sound of footsteps spread more clearly, so most dark whistle can accurately know the surrounding area only by lying there. Is someone coming.

Some secret whistles even prepared quilts in advance, in groups of three, they lay in the shavings and covered with quilts to rest, which was no worse than in the tent.

The pathetic situation of patrolling in the winter was forced by Xun Chen to lie in bed to monitor. Apart from forcing the three of them not to rest, Xun Chen didn't have much pursuit of other aspects.

Naturally, in this case, no group of the Han soldiers' secret posts would steal or cheat. Also in this case, the Northern Huns' sneak attack had no chance of success at all. After all, killing the Northern Huns would not be possible. They will think that the soldiers of the Han army are at their feet.

Under such circumstances, the night attack on the sixth day after the construction of the Han camp started was a tragedy for the Northern Huns.

Even the secret sentry itself didn't know that Xun Chen sprinkled more than 3,000 people among the shavings under the camp floor as a secret sentry. With such a terrifying scale, even without a patrolling soldier, it was absolutely impossible for the Northern Huns to hide their figure. .

Of course, the Northern Huns who made a sneak attack thought that the Han army was too negligent and gave them a considerable opportunity. As a result, the Northern Huns entered the camp and went deep into the camp for a long time. After confirming that the Han army really did not have night patrol soldiers, they were overjoyed and prepared to forcibly attack the Han army at night. At the core, I encountered the pincer attack from the front and back of the Han army!

The more than 3,000 Northern Huns were all killed except for the more than 1,000 judges who stayed behind on purpose. However, the sudden front and back attacks of the Han army caused the Northern Huns to suffer a heavy blow without even reacting.

Later, under the leadership of a brave general of the Northern Huns, the Northern Huns rushed left and right, successfully approaching the core grain and grass hoarding place of the Han army, and by setting fire to attract the attention of the Han army, they successfully escaped the encirclement.

Of course, these are all nonsense, the commissioner just wants to let the group of Northern Huns go out, after all, if they want to win a big victory, they must think about some strategic things when they are short of troops, and now is a good opportunity.

After killing 2,000 Northern Huns with relatively small losses, Shenpei and Xun Chen stopped focusing on the Northern Huns.

On the eighth day after the camp was completely built, Xun Chen and others finally entered the verification stage before the strategy was implemented, and several people began to compare in detail.

"The food is not safe here. Do you have any good solutions?" Xun Chen looked at the judge and asked. Although the food that was burned before was not real food, Xun Chen was still a little worried. What to do, food is the foundation of survival.

"How do we deal with this thing? We can dig out such a troublesome thing. Find a place to dig a hole for this thing, lay wooden boards on the bottom, and cover it with wooden boards, and then bury them all." Xu You curled his lips and said, "This Leave the matter to me, in other words, didn’t you get a lot of shavings and couldn’t deal with it, leave it to me.”

"First of all, have you dug it through?" Xun Chen looked at Xu You and asked, recently Xu You picked up a large piece of dark green beautiful jade, and his IQ has increased a lot. mine.

"It worked. The soldiers worked harder than I thought. Probably because of the reward, there must be a brave man. The tunnel has been dug. Because of the heavy snow, the sound of tunnel digging was basically absorbed by the snow." Xu You He nodded and said.

Xu You guessed that he had dug a place before, so he had someone take a peek at it in the middle of the night, and then sealed the place with loess.

"However, what I'm more surprised about now is that the northern Xiongnu actually practiced unified management, and women cook together. There are a lot of guards in the middle camp. It seems that they also know what is most important." Xu You said solemnly.

"What are you going to do?" Xun Chen looked at Xu You and asked.

"I need some wood for support. I am going to hollow it out. It is estimated that it will take three days. If it is not stopped day and night, it will take two days. If it is only done when it is safe, it will take three days." Xu You said.

"Well, on that day, Ziyuan, you and I will forcefully stop the heavy snowfall, and leave the rest to Zhengnan, who will live on the torches. I'm really worried that one day some of us will be careless." Xun Chen said slightly. Helplessly said, their current camp is really very dangerous.

"Three days, wait for another three days and we will see the outcome." Xu You looked at the two and said solemnly.

"Okay, it's up to you." The judge also looked at Xu You very solemnly, and then Xun Chen also stretched out his hand, "We are confident in victory, and it's not so easy to wipe it all out. Ziyuan, you've been in the past three days." Do your thing, Zhengnan and I will come to think about how to wipe out the Northern Huns."

The judge nodded and agreed with this point. What Xu You has to do is really related to the next victory or defeat.

After the three discussed it, they went to report to Yuan Tan together, and then Xu You continued to study how to take away the granary of the Northern Huns. You must know that the current grain and grass of the Northern Huns are mainly divided into cattle buried in the snow. Sheep carcasses, and a large amount of grain in the granary.

Taking away the grain in the granary is not a problem for Xu You, but the huge number of cattle and sheep buried in the snow is Xu You's biggest problem.

Although the Northern Huns were doomed to run out of food in the near future after burning those grains, the more than one million fat sheep buried in the snow were enough for the Northern Huns to eat for more than a month, but they were not so good at all for the judges. Too much time wasted here.

[It's a gamble, those cattle and sheep buried in the snow, there is no way to move or burn them in a short time, so they can only rely on guidance. 】Xu You pressed his temples and thought silently.

[Hun dialect? There must be someone in the camp, but even so, it is not enough to wipe out the Northern Huns. Once the Northern Huns run away...]

Xu You's face was a little ugly, although he also knew that the total annihilation was very difficult. In fact, as long as the nine achievements of the total annihilation were achieved, the Northern Huns would basically be wiped out.

"Uh, what are you doing?" When Xu You was walking in the camp, he found a commander who was not patrolling properly and was actually playing with the sand!

"I've met Master Xu!" Chen Jie reacted quickly. After noticing Xu You, he immediately got up and saluted Xu You.

"Let me think about it. By the way, your name is Chen Shurong. You were recommended to the lord by the public a few years ago. I remember that you were a captain before. Why did you become a commander again?" Xu You stared at Chen Jie for a while , finally remembered why the face was familiar, this guy was recommended by Guo Tu to Yuan Shao, and he had appeared in front of him several times.

"Mr. Xu actually still remembers me." Chen Jie said with a little surprise.

"What are you doing?" Xu You didn't want to pursue Chen Jie's question at this time, so he asked.

A little embarrassed, Chen Jie took out a spoonful of sand from the wooden bucket on the side, and when he turned around to scoop water in another bucket, the water in the bucket had already frozen. On the sand, the cold wind blew, and Chen Jie vigorously broke off the frozen sand.

Then he scratched his head and said to Xu You, "Mr. Xu, I was born in Yingchuan. I have never seen such a situation there, so I became playful. Please forgive me."

Xu You looked up and down at the almost frozen piece of sand in Chen Jie's hands, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized that the matter of the Northern Huns running away was not unsolvable.

"Shu Rong, do you speak the language of the Huns?" Xu You asked casually.

"Yes." Chen Jie replied in a daze, "In fact, I can not only speak Xiongnu dialect, but also Xianbei dialect, Nanyue dialect, Jie dialect, and seven or eight local dialects."

Now Xu You was stunned, "Why do you learn so many languages?"

"It's not what I want to learn by myself." Chen Jie scratched his head, "It's just that I can barely communicate with the locals after staying in one place for more than half a month. Their language is very familiar, and I can speak so many languages ​​because I have stayed in those places."

Xu You looked surprised, "Sure enough, the fate is in our big man, let me listen to a few words of Xiongnu dialect, and be fluent, for example, let someone follow you to rush or something."

Chen Jie didn't think much about it, so he repeated it in the Hun dialect. The fluent voice made Xu You wonder if Chen Jie was a Hun in Han skin.

"That's very good, very good, hahahaha!" Xu You looked up to the sky and laughed, "Now I have a task for you, take my warrant to go to the lord, the lord will arrange the task for you, and you will meet with your two clans Like my brother, it is sung by Qing history."

Chen Jie didn't understand why Xu You was so excited, but after receiving Xu You's warrant, he began to execute it to the letter.

Yuan Tan looked at Xu You's handwriting, and then looked Chen Jie up and down, "From now on, you will be a lieutenant colonel, and now lead your 3,000 people, as well as Zhu Han, Jiang Qi, and Wang Mo's troops to the camp. Outside, build a wall around the camp the way you played with sand and dirt."

"No!" Chen Jie said excitedly.

That night, 12,000 Han soldiers built a wall 30 meters around the camp. The wall was not high, only more than two meters, but it was two feet thick. However, this level is far from enough for Xu You's requirements.

Of course, the Han army who built the outer wall with their own hands was not surprised by the enemy, but the Northern Huns who suddenly found that there was an extra wall outside the Han army camp the next day were taken aback.

But this is not important. The next day, we continued to build, using local materials. The efforts of 21,000 people made the city wall five feet thicker, and the seven-foot-thick wall was reinforced with ice to form an integrated city wall. It has already caught up and even surpassed The thickness of most of the city walls in this unscientific Central Plains!

However, the city walls of the Central Plains have been warmed up by the residents of the city, and their strength is twice as strong as normal, so they still need to be reinforced

On the third day, which is the last day, the Han army no longer cares about hiding or not. All the Han army took action regardless of day and night. For this reason, the original plan was even delayed by a day, and the entire outer wall was abruptly thickened. Ten feet, the height has also been increased to ten feet.

A wall of this level, even if it has not been warmed by clouds, and the integrated effect achieved by the frozen sand, is enough to withstand the damage of the army's attack.

To put it simply, even the large-caliber artillery of later generations has no good way to deal with buildings of this level.

Only four entrances and exits with a width of about ten feet in east, west, north, south, and north were kept, and all other places were surrounded. The Northern Huns were very excited to see it.

It even started to imitate the construction of the Han army in the daytime on the fourth day, but because of the continuous harassment of the Han army, so far only a wall of about 3 kilometers has been built, and the manpower of the Northern Huns is several times that of the Han army. , It took less than a few days to completely establish a line of defense, but the Northern Huns have gone for a few days.

"It almost smells like sheep." The judge looked at Chen Jie who was no different from the Northern Huns and said after thinking for a while. Soon a piece of sheepskin with a strong smell was wrapped around Chen Jie's body.

Chen Jie looked disgusted, but quickly got used to it, and then put on a normal Hun look, expressing his satisfaction to the judge, then looked at Xun Chen and others and nodded.

"Let's go." The trial pair bowed deeply to Ji Ling, Gao Lan, Jiang Qi, Wang Mo and others, "The victory or defeat is up to us, we must not back down!"

"Follow the general's order!" Ji Ling and the others said solemnly.

After that, the judge took the generals to the tunnel that Xu You had dug before, and after this period of time, they worked tirelessly in shifts. These dozens of tunnels have successfully reached the target, and each tunnel has been dug to be as wide as three people, which took a lot of effort.
