Finally, there is time to add more. Only after adding more dare to speak, it will drift off when you walk...

…………………………

Shen Bing did not go straight to Jiuyuan for a quick fight.

This is what Shen Bing thought before...

Jiuyuan is two hundred kilometers away from Yunzhong County and the garrison is only 3,000. Then the cavalry can rush to Jiuyuan in about three days, and then return to the Xiongnu at 6,000 to 3,000. Before he could react, he captured Jiuyuan.

After capturing the Nine Plains, we will seize the time to repair the city wall and organize defenses.

The Xiongnu were not good at attacking cities, and even if the army was assembled, there was no way to take Jiuyuan.

This strategy may seem feasible, but in fact it is very risky.

First of all, the six thousand Shenwu army attacked the three thousand Huns stationed in Jiuyuan, not necessarily a quick fight.

As long as the 3,000 Huns stay on for a while, the Huns from all directions will gather more and more, and the 6,000 Shenwu Army will be in danger.

Secondly, even if the 6,000 Shenwu Army succeeded in taking down Jiuyuan, I was afraid that it would not be able to hold it.

It is true that the Huns are not good at defending the city, but the Huns are good at besieging the city...They can besiege without attacking and cutting off Jiuyuan's external supply line.

At that time, the only cavalry troops left by Shen Bing were surrounded by the Huns and could not move. The infantry could hardly protect the supply line due to insufficient mobility. The six thousand cavalry troops trapped in Jiuyuan for a long time had only one dead end.

So Shen Bing finally gave up this idea.

In a battle, if there is a little luck, it's okay to say, but two and three things need luck, that is to make a joke about the lives of the subordinates.

At this time, Shen Bing certainly didn't need to try his luck anymore. With the "Thunderbolt Fireball" and the chariot, Shen Bing was already determined to win the Jiuyuan quickly.

But Shen Bing still did not do so.

Wang Ben expressed doubts about this:

"General, my goal is to win Jiuyuan."

"With the'Thunderbolt Fireball', I will be sure to win Jiu Yuan after three thousand horses."

"Why don't you win a battle?"

Wang Ben's proposal is indeed correct.

In the past, if the entire army of 6,000 cavalry, that is, the Shenwu Army, had to raid Jiuyuan, it was possible to win the Jiuyuan "quickly and quickly". After equipped with the "Thunderbolt Fireball", it only took three thousand to be sure of it.

You must know that the Huns guarding the Jiuyuan are the cavalry, and they didn't even repair the city gate.

It can be imagined how the Huns would deal with the enemy, they would go out of the city to fight Qin Qi decisively...so they didn't need a city gate, and even felt that the city gate was redundant and a burden.

Needless to say what the result would be, the Shenwu Army threw a "thunderbolt of fireball" over it, and the Xiongnu could be defeated in the first wave and then easily took Jiuyuan.

As for the supply line, it was protected by another three thousand cavalry troops of the Shenwu Army.

Equipped with the "Thunderbolt Fireball", the Shenwu Army's combat power has greatly increased, even if it is divided into three teams, each with a thousand people has the ability to stand alone.

At the same time, the Liangjun marched towards Jiuyuan City. Once the Liangjun arrived at the Jiuyuan City, then the battle would be over... The Liangjun could replace the Shenwu Army to defend Jiuyuan, so all six thousand Shenwu Army can be used. To protect the supply line.

This may have been a bit difficult before, but there is almost no pressure after the "Thunderbolt Fireball" is equipped.

But Shen Bing did not choose this plan.

He shook his head and said:

"Our army's goal is not just Jiuyuan!"

Wang Benqi said:

"If it weren't for Jiuyuan, what purpose could it have?"

Shen Bing picked up his pen and drew a circle on a large open space between Yunzhong County and Jiuyuan, and said:

"It is to keep this place peaceful."

"The population of Northland is increasing but the land is becoming increasingly tense."

"Even the workshop needs to be built on two floors and the planting land needs to be carefully planned."

"If we can keep the tranquility of the four hundred miles from the middle of the cloud to Jiuyuan, there will be no shortage of land for workers and farmers!"

Wang Ben couldn't help but "Oh", and he understood it.

Wei Wei is a little strange:

"But General, if you want to keep this place peaceful, what is the relationship with us?"

From this, Shen Bing also saw that Wei Wei was still far behind Wang Benlai.

This may also be because Wei Wei is old and in Wei Wei's era, he was more chariot soldiers rather than cavalry. Wang Ben himself was a cavalry and was obsessed with cavalry tactics, so he understood it at a glance.

Of course, Fusu was also confused when he heard it.

With Shen Bing’s acquiescence, Wang Ben explained:

"The middle of the cloud is four hundred miles away from Jiuyuan. If you want to keep this place peaceful, you must first capture the Huns."

"If I wait for a quick fight, I'm afraid that the Xiongnu will escape with the'Thunderbolt Fireball' in Jiuyuan..."

Speaking of this, Wei Wei and Fu Su realized that they each nodded in agreement.

In fact, this is the characteristic of the Huns fighting, and it can also be said to be their tactics...In fact, it is a typical pack of wolves tactics. If they can fight, they will swarm up, and if they fail, they will run away.

What can be predicted at this time is that the Xiongnu will be in a state of "cannot beat".

If they can't be beaten, they will run away. If they run away, the Qin army will not find the main force of the Huns, so they can do nothing.

It is conceivable that if the Qin Army relied on the "Thunderbolt Fireball" to attack the Jiuyuan, it would have exposed the strength as soon as it came up and frightened the Xiongnu...

"How can Qin Jun win this thunderstorm?"

"When will you stay if you don't run away at this time?"

So Mingdi ran away cleanly, and Qin Jun hit the empty place with a fierce punch.

At the same time, because of the strength of the Huns, the four hundred li from Yunzhong to Jiuyuan will definitely not be peaceful and will be harassed by the Huns from time to time.

"Thunderbolt Fireball" is also suitable for large-scale operations and cannot cope with harassment by small groups...

The main reason is that it ignites the fuze to detonate instead of having a fuze-triggering shell like modern warfare.

The cannonball that triggers the fuze will explode wherever it is hit, and there is no delay, so the aiming will work and the enemy will have no response or dodge time.

Obviously, the fuse's "fireball" cannot do this.

The fuze is too short, and Qin Jun himself is in great danger of being injured.

The fuze is too long...the explosion will be delayed for a long time and the enemy will have time to evade.

If the army rushes and kills, there is no problem, throw it in the direction of the enemy, as long as it is in the enemy group, it will basically not fail.

But if it is just a small group of harassed Huns, it is basically a waste.

"Yes!" Shen Bing came to a conclusion: "I should seek to fight against the main force of the Huns while waiting for this battle, and we must let them suffer heavy casualties!"

Several people nodded in agreement.

At this time, it is entirely possible to seek a battle with the main Huns.

Because the Xiongnu didn't know that the Qin Army had equipped the "Thunderbolt Fireball", they thought that he was still in a state of "beating."

With their usual tactics, they will gather from all directions and swarm them.

Needless to say what the result is...

Fusu smiled and said:

"This may be the most painful battle for the Huns!"

"Furthermore, after this battle, I am afraid that Jiuyuan will destroy itself without attacking!"

What Fusu said was.

If the Xiongnu saw the power of the "Thunderbolt Fireball", where would they dare to defend the Jiuyuan?

So Jiuyuan is no longer the point.
