Chapter 404 Do you want to try His Majesty's knife?
For the Han army, the war naturally dragged on, the better.
But for the Huns, it was the opposite.
The characteristics of the nation have led to their ability to fight quickly. Once they dragged on for a long time, they would not be able to fight this battle themselves.
"Prince, what should I do now?"
Faced with the current situation, there are more than one person who has a headache.
Crown porridge is also a headache.
The purpose of this battle was to consume the older people of Donghu, so the ones sent out in front were all slightly older.
If it is just to achieve the goal, the kind that can naturally order a strong attack, regardless of casualties.
When will the elderly Donghu people die almost, they can call the gold and withdraw their troops and fight back home.
Although doing so can achieve the goal, it will also bring disaster to him.
I went south and didn't kill many enemies or grab anything. I gave tens of thousands of heads to people for no reason and came back like this?
If this is the case, let alone integrating Donghu people, his father will not let him go after he goes back.
"How do I know what to do?" Zip Jixiang waved his fist to Kong angrily.
Not only does he have no choice, no Hun can come.
Nomads have natural disadvantages in siege combat.
They didn't even click on the technology tree in this regard.
Throughout history, under such a formation, nomadic peoples have never had a precedent to capture cities.
Even if you attack, it is difficult to achieve complete victory.
Street fighting in the city is also what they are most not good at.
Therefore, in the past, most of the nomadic people went south for the purpose of burning, killing, looting, killing, or plundering people when they see them, and then setting fires. After the work is done, they will immediately turn to war or retreat.
The battles, street battles, and nomadic peoples are all directly bypassed.
But now, he has no choice...
"The general surnamed Wang on the opposite side has rich combat experience and is extremely experienced in controlling the battlefield. It is difficult for me to gain advantage in his hands." said Guilin Jizhu.
This is what he said in front of his confidant, and the previous battles proved this.
"Why should we change the place?"
"Where is it? The Han people are obviously prepared!" Zhao Feng Jixiang shook his head.
After entering the Han territory for hundreds of miles, I saw countless villages, but I didn’t see anyone.
Isn't this proved anything?
The situation behind must be similar to that here now.
"There will be more and more Han troops. If we drag them here for a long time, we will probably be surrounded by them! At that time, if there is not enough space for us to move, the advantage of the cavalry will be gone, and the Han troops can treat us in the most comfortable way they can!" said Zi Jizhu.
This is foreseeable. Since the Han people have been strong and cleared, it means they have expected that they will go south.
And since they really went south, would the Han army in Yuyang City not tell the Han army elsewhere?
Did the Han Dynasty really prepare so many troops?
Therefore, Yuyang's task was to drag them here, and then Han troops from other places came to surround them, and finally surrounded them.
"Retreat! Retreat early tomorrow morning and retreat to the border grassland!" said Zipun Jizhu directly.
"Prince, I'm afraid I can't explain to the Great Shanyu..."
"Waring with the Han people, you still need to use your brain more. What if we don't retreat now? What if we spend this place, what if we are surrounded by them? The Han Dynasty has no forage, what should we eat for cattle, sheep and horses? Their crops and seedlings have just emerged and there is no enough food at all. If we delay for ten days and half a month, the war horses will continue to lose weight, and the cattle and sheep will starve to death." The face of Qiang Jizhao was still full of confidence.
"How can the prince complete the Great Shanyu's explanation?"
"Haha!" Zhao Jizhu laughed loudly, "I don't believe that the Han people can hide in the city for a year and they can't come out. If they have the ability, they will wait until winter."
The servant's eyes lit up and he said in surprise: "Does the prince want to???"
"Yes! That's right! We are waiting at the border, where there are grass to allow us to survive. When the Han people come home, we are heading south to see what he will do!"
Nowadays, young buds have just grown in the north, and the Huns cannot afford to drag them here. With the effect of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields, even the farmland is not cultivated much.
Almost at the busiest time, Wang Li issued an order to clear the fields. Those people who had not yet cultivated had to put down their farm tools and leave their hometown with their families and food.
It is not too late to farm now, but if it delays for another half a month, it will be completely ruined this year.
Zishou is a person who likes to use his brain. While force is paramount, he also hopes to play something different.
The biggest advantage of doing this is that you can ensure that you gain more benefits while avoiding more losses.
In history, the Qianghuo Ji Porridge was successfully brought to the Huns to the top through this technique.
During his reign, the Huns were at their highest level of harmony and stability, unprecedented unity.
Later, the territory of the Xiongnu during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han was basically developed.
This person is Wang Buye on the grassland. He is not only smart, but also very good at doggy.
If you are not hungry than the king, you will not be at a disadvantage.
...
Yuyang.
When they learned of the Huns' retreat, everyone in the city was filled with joy and excitement.
Although the city is safe, he is not doing well this day.
It's even very difficult.
There are actually not many people who have the conditions to leave the city, so most people still choose to live here.
This has led to another situation.
Every household in the city, even shops, open the doors to allow the people coming in from outside the city to temporarily live in.
The situation of the family crowding in a room is already good.
Little did we see two or three families, one or two dozen people crowded in a room.
At this time, more than 60% of the houses in Yuyang City cannot lie flat when sleeping at night.
One or twenty people sat on the ground and leaned against the wall, supporting each other and then slept like this, and the middle ones also slept with their backs against their backs.
There is no way to avoid doing this. The nights outside are still a little cold, and they can only rely on these limited houses to lower than the cold nights.
The air inside the house is turbid and smelly.
Even the entire city is not much better, and the feces cannot be transported out in time, so they can only be placed in one place, so they should not mention the taste.
The phenomenon of urination and defecation everywhere has become a common occurrence here.
What are the shame or not? There are people everywhere in the city, and the main streets are vacant for the use of troops to mobilize troops.
I can't find a place that can protect my privacy and help me solve my physiological needs.
There are also places to use toilets in the city, but there are too many people, so there are not enough.
Although there is no shortage of food, it still has a huge impact on people's psychology in such a living environment.
Now that the Huns have retreated, how can they be unhappy?
"General, the city is asking when we can let them home!"
"Yes, General, the Huns have been gone for three days. The scouts came to report that they were almost crossing the Great Wall. Is it time to give a letter?"
"We can't continue like this. This city is simply not a place for people. If we continue like this, I'm afraid it will cause a plague..."
Plague does not specifically refer to a certain disease, but all those that are contagious and cause a certain scale will be called plague.
Once a plague is caused, the consequences are often extremely serious.
Many historical materials do not record how the ancient times dealt with when facing plague.
Because the method is too cruel, medical methods cannot completely solve these problems. Once it is affected, it basically represents GG.
Block the area, burn the body, and let doctors in the area, or outside doctors who are not afraid of death come in to help with the treatment and guidance.
It will not be reopened until no new infections appear in the area and then in a few more months.
There are generally two statements for no new infected persons.
The first is that all infected people have died.
The second type is that everyone in the region has died and there are no living people.
Wang Li frowned deeply.
Of course he knew that there was indeed a possibility of a plague breaking out in Yuyang now.
The urban area is too dense, and the sanitary environment is extremely worrying. Even on the best ventilated city wall, you can smell foul smells from time to time and various smells.
"You can leave the city, but you can't go north. If you want to leave the city, you can only go to the two directions of Youbeiping and Guangyang County!" After thinking for a long time, Wang Li decided to say.
It’s impossible not to do this. Once a plague is caused, what are the consequences?
Although Yuyang is not small, Yuyang is a small city in front of more than 400,000 people, 130,000 troops, and a total of more than 500,000 people.
He can't hold so many people at all. If people eat too much, they will be overwhelmed. If they install too much, they will collapse. If too many people enter the city, there will be problems.
"General, there is no need to be so careful, right?" Ying Bu was a little puzzled. It would be better not to go south than to go. The people are farther away from home.
The people in Yuyang City were originally the people in the north of Yuyang County. The people in the south were either in the county or had already gone to Youbeiping and Guangyang County.
"The Huns are not as simple as you thought. I have a premonition that they will definitely come back!" Wang Li said directly.
Although he has no evidence, what evidence is needed for marching and fighting?
When there is not enough information, you will feel premonition and deployment, and you will become a famous general. If you do not have enough command capabilities, you can become a guest of honor for the general with these two points. It is that simple.
"If the general is worried, why don't you let the people go back to your hometown and use them to lure the Huns out?" Fan Kuai said, and the tricks Wang Li had just used, he learned...
