The army was preparing, food and grass were preparing, various equipment was preparing, everything was preparing. These were huge calculation projects, but fortunately there were a large number of Qin officials to conduct financial reviews.

Xiang Yu must do it to reduce the loss.

The Qin straight road built by Qin Shihuang directly leads to Jiuyuan and is used to conquer Hetao.

"Master, can I follow you?"

On the eve of his farewell, Yu Ji asked.

Xiang Yu said: "No! This battle was mainly based on cavalry, and there were also a large number of horse-riding infantry, crossbow soldiers, and chariot soldiers. The main reason was that the mobility was strong, the rapid response, and the rapid attack... The battle lasted for up to half a year!"

Yu Ji said: "King is careful!"

Xiang Yu said: "The Huns are not as powerful as they imagined. As long as they grasp the rhythm of the war, fight slowly with fast and end the battle quickly, they can stabilize everything!"

"When it comes to the danger, it is still much worse than the Battle of Julu back then!"

Life is gambling! War is even more gambling. At the Battle of Julu, many coalition forces gathered, all of whom were afraid of Zhang Han and dared not move forward. At that time, he led his troops across the river, burned his boats, and defeated Qin in one fell swoop.

This battle completely ruined the fate of Qin.

This is a gamble.

Xiang Yu wanted to establish the capital of Guanzhong, but some of the soldiers wanted to return to Chu.

The Chu army faced the danger of division.

At that time, he would rather split the Chu army than establish the capital of Guanzhong.

It's also a gamble.

Now attacking the Huns is also a gamble.

Once you lose, it may be another Warring States Period. But you have to fight... not to harm your descendants."

"King, be careful!" Yu Ji said.

Xiang Yu nodded and said goodbye to Ying Xue again. He rode a black horse and led a large army to set off. The 200,000 troops rushed to Jiuyuan County and to the Hetao area.

Han Xin led his army to the Hexi Corridor.

In Guanzhong, Yanzhao and other places, border guards were defending to prevent the Xiongnu from attacking.

This war that determines the fate of the two countries began.

…………

Dongdongdongdongdongdong!

The Chu army was moving, and Maodun's army was also gathering in the Hetao area, with the horns ringing and the Huns gathering.

The scattered tribes began to gather towards the center. In just half a month, they gathered about 300,000 Hun cavalry, 300,000 elderly, weak, women and children, and millions of cattle and sheep.

All the nomadic people are soldiers. They usually only nomadic on the grasslands, go south in summer, grazing in places with plump water and grass. In winter, they arrive in a dangerous mountainous area to hide from the cold wind.

They are usually scattered everywhere and constantly grazing; they can gather together at war.

Every time I march, I bring a large number of cattle and sheep, and cattle and sheep are the military mothers, providing logistics.

"King, King Xiang is a powerful general in the world. In the past, the Great Wall Corps fought against King Xiang in Julu. King Xiang led the disappointed Chu army to break through the 200,000 Huns army and be brave in the world... But our Huns were defeated under the Great Wall Corps... Of course, it is not a match for King Xiang, and should retreat to Mobei!"

The Right Xiangwang said, his eyes flashing with fear.

Zuo Xianwang also said: "Retreat to Mobei and rely on the vast sea of ​​thousands of miles is enough to make the Chu army afraid. Once the Chu army retreats, we will go south again!"

Maodun said, "It's not right, it's not right! Once we retreat and lose Yinshan, how can we survive the winter? Once we retreat, then Donghu, Dayuezhi and others will inevitably turn toward the big things... We will fall into a situation of being attacked from both sides!"

"This battle has to be fought!"

As he spoke, Maodun became more and more determined.

His Shanyu, who was the Huns, had unstable foundations. If he retreated without fighting, people would be unstable within, and on the way to retreat, there might be a tribe rebellion.

"Zuo Xianwang, led 200,000 old and weak, retreated to Mobei and retreated to Shanyu Court... I led my troops to fight against this Han King!" Maodun said.

"promise!"

Zuo Xian Wangdao.

The Huns immediately divided their troops, and the old and weak retreated to the north of Mo and retreated to the Shanyuting; Maodun wanted to lead an army of 300,000 to fight against King Xiang.

Not long after, the Chu army's vanguards confronted each other and won and lost each other.

Riding on a black horse and watching dozens of cavalry confrontation in the distance, about thirty Hun cavalry fell, but Xiang Yu's thoughts floated to the distance.

I thought of Han Xin and Guan Ying.

…………

In one direction in Zhao, Guan Ying led 10,000 cavalry to the north, one man and three horses, one riding on a ride, one carrying food, and the other being spare.

Among these cavalry, the main ones were recruited by the Chinese-made Hu cavalry such as Daijun, Loufan, and Donghu, who were good at riding and shooting.

The food is mainly meat floss and milk powder, which tastes bad, but it is suitable for combat.

It was about 120 kilograms of food, enough to support two months of food.

Ten thousand cavalry, under the order of King Xiang, headed towards the north of the Mo and wanted to directly dig out of the Shanyu royal court.

Along the road, all the small tribes encountered were killed without leaving any chickens and dogs.

Half a month after entering the desert, the coalition forces appeared by a lake.

The lake is not big, with a radius of more than ten miles, but the water plants around it are extremely abundant, with groups of cattle, sheep, horses and camels eating grass leisurely.

The grassland is full of green, the cattle and sheep are beautiful, everything is very beautiful.

But Guan Ying walked towards the war horse and looked into the distance.

All the tribes around the lake were killed, and the small tribe of the Huns were killed and turned into Shura hell. No living creature, no matter human or animal, could be found.

"Let's camp here tonight."

Guan Ying said.

"No!" Everyone said in unison, and each ordered to start camping. Teams of cavalry soldiers turned over and dismounted, then removed tents and equipment from the horse's back to prepare for camping. The cyclist responsible for the alert also dispersed with the camp as the center.

Less than a moment later, the bonfire rose, and the fat sheep that had been washed and peeled were also put on the fire, and the smell of barbecue soon spread in the air.

During the great march, it was finally a short-lived meal.

In a camp, there were broken wooden barrels, pottery, fences, fallen ox carts, messy marks, corpses on the ground, and fallen Hun children, holding daggers in their hands.

Messy and bloody.

On the table, Guan Ying spread the map, turned on the oil lamp, Guan Ying opened the map, took out the compass, compared the current location, and further determined the location of the Xiongnu royal court.

Grassland combat is very different from Central Plains combat.

In the Central Plains, there are strong cities that need to defeat the enemy and break through the enemy's cities.

But in the grassland area, the vast grasslands have no obvious coordinates, so it is easy to get lost in the grassland.

What is needed to march on the grassland is to determine the direction and find the enemy, which is the most important thing at this time.

All of this can only be achieved by the guides of the Huns, maps, compass, stars in the sky... and luck in the dark.
