Since the assassination, Ji Jie ordered the generals not to leave the camp even half a step, and the number of guards outside the tents was doubled to ensure the safety of the generals.
He could think that there would be a second time for assassination. The people behind the scenes would never be willing to fail. They spent so much money and gave up after one failure. This was absolutely impossible.
Under Ji Jie's arrangement, the coalition forces deliberately disappeared from the enemy's sight several times. The marks left along the way deceived them into taking many wrong turns. Especially the last time, the enemy found the place two days after the coalition forces arrived at the designated location. For this reason, they traveled nearly three hundred miles.
The coalition forces were waiting for work, and the enemy was exhausted. A hundred thousand troops camped thirty miles away.
The coalition position was backed by the sea. While waiting, Ji Jian ordered his men to go fishing and got a lot of seafood. Ji Jie was overjoyed and asked the Huotou Army to set up a big stove to cook. The soldiers had traveled a long distance and needed to replenish their bodies. , the nutritional value of seafood is high and just enough to satisfy your needs.
The enemy did not have the opportunity to enjoy seafood, and their meat supply became the biggest problem. The supply line was too long, and the cattle and sheep delivered were only a quarter of the number when they set out, and three-quarters of them died on the road.
Spring is not a good season for hunting. The physical fitness of the Hun soldiers, who lacked meat, declined sharply, and many of them looked listless.
The general Tu She was very anxious. He was the most valiant general under Uli Shanyu. He was about to fight the enemy. The soldiers were exhausted and could not get enough food to supplement them. How could they fight this battle?
"Let Uli Chanyu order the nearby tribes to send cattle and sheep!" Tushe thought for a while, and then said: "Forget it, it will take more than ten days to go back and forth. We will starve to death long ago. We will go directly to the nearby tribes." The leaders ask for it, and when we return in triumph, we will give it back to them twice as much!"
"yes!"
In the main camp of the Allied Forces, Ji Jie and his generals stood beside the sand table prepared by Ji Jian. It clearly showed the situation of the enemy and ourselves, and the topography of a hundred miles radius was clear at a glance.
"The location of the enemy's camp was well chosen. Tu She is a talented general!" Ji Jie first evaluated the enemy's garrison, and then said: "But they never expected that I would rob the camp on the first day! Ji Jian Listen to the order, your troops have been resting here for several days and are strong, are you confident in completing this mission?"
"Yes!" Ji Jian was extremely excited. The hijacking of the camp was no small feat.
"Okay!" Ji Jie pointed to the east side of the enemy's camp and said, "Tonight you lead the troops to set off, arrive at the reserved position within an hour, and then launch a fierce attack. Remember, don't wait for a fight, and withdraw immediately after you win!"
"As you command, Your Majesty!"
In addition, Zhao Ling, Kuo Lun and Ji Lin each led 10,000 cavalry to provide support to avoid the tragedy of the last sneak attack on the Rong Di people.
After arranging the tasks, the generals prepared their own preparations.
Rou Yue found Ji Jie and said with an unhappy expression: "Why don't you give me a mission? Almost 30,000 coalition troops were sent out. I only sent 10,000 Huns soldiers. You favor one over the other!"
Ji Jie complained in his heart, what do you mean by favoring one over the other? The coalition forces were the main force because the coalition forces were obviously better than the Huns in tasks such as hijacking camps, and they also cooperated well with each other. If not for their scruples, Kuo Kuo How could Lun have a chance to fight? The two support troops are completely enough, there is no need for him at all.
"You and I have to sit here so that they can let go and do something big!" Ji Jie found a reason: "Your people will have more difficult tasks in the future, and today's robbery camp can only be regarded as an appetizer, not the main dish. It’s still behind.”
Rouyue was very satisfied with this answer, and Ji Jie let out a sigh of relief.
At midnight, the four teams successfully entered their respective positions, and the enemy's hidden sentries outside were eliminated one by one. Tushe has not received any relevant news from the current position.
There was a lot of snoring in the enemy camp and could be heard from far away.
Ji Jian saw clearly that all the defenders at the gate of the camp were dozing off. He pulled out his sword and shouted: "Warriors, charge!"
Ten thousand light cavalry rushed towards the enemy camp, each holding a lighted torch in their hands, killing the enemies and throwing them towards their tents.
The sleeping enemy soldiers panicked. Tu She rushed out of the tent with a machete on his upper body and shouted: "Don't panic, everyone. The number of enemies is limited. Quickly organize a defense and repel them!"
Ji Jian entered an uninhabited area and slashed at the enemy. He charged from one end of the camp to the other, and then turned back.
With these words from the general, the panicked Huns had a backbone. They organized people to fight against the coalition forces and put out the fire at the same time.
Seeing that it was no longer possible to take advantage, Ji Jian waved his hand and said: "Brothers, withdraw!"
Under the cover of the three troops, Ji Jian's 10,000 men retreated smoothly and soon disappeared from the sight of the Huns.
The coalition forces were like a gust of wind. If they hadn't left countless burning tents and dead bodies, the Huns would have thought that this was not real and that they were just dreaming.
Tu She's eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes. He was sitting at the door of the Chinese army's tent. According to the statistics someone just sent, more than 70% of the tents were burned down, half of the army rations were also destroyed by the fire, and more than 6,000 people were killed. , no less than 5,000 people were burned to death, and a total of more than 10,000 people were lost, not counting the thousands of people who were slightly or seriously injured.
"Leave camp at dawn!" Tu She ordered: "Retreat twenty miles, wait until all supplies are ready, and the soldiers have rested, and then attack the enemy's position with all their might!"
At noon the next day, Ji Jie, Rou Yue, and Ji Lin arrived at the camp abandoned by Tu She, followed by a group of personal guards.
Many tents were still in place. It was obvious that the enemy was extremely panicked when they retreated. Many of the tents that were still usable had not had time to be dismantled and transported away.
Ji Jie looked around and said with deep meaning: "This is indeed a very good place. It's a pity that Tu She gave up like this. Tell our people not to destroy the things here. They will be useful when the time comes."
The two girls didn't understand his intention, but they didn't ask in detail.
"Yue'er, it's your people's turn to show off their power next!" Ji Jie pointed in the direction of the enemy's new camp and said: "There is a problem with their meat supply, and they will definitely collect it on the spot, and the Shanyu King's City will also go here. Send, you send the cavalry to intercept, and you must get their meat back to fill our own stomachs!"
"No problem!" Rou Yue said confidently: "Just wait and eat the roasted whole lamb, not a single sheep will be left for them! Ho ho ho, grab something!"
Looking at Rou Yue wielding a machete, she looks like the Huns who robbed property at the Zhou Yan border. This is really a dragon and a phoenix. The children of robbers can rob, and they don’t need to learn. They are born!
Ji Jie and Ji Lin involuntarily took a few steps back and acted as if they didn't recognize her.
