Advantages and disadvantages.

However, relatively speaking, the high level of civilization, advanced technology, and group wisdom of the Central Plains can completely change the innate disadvantages. Li Yuan also believes in this regard.

The Qin army's defense situation on the Julu battlefield was reproduced. This was a decision jointly discussed by Li Yuan, Li Zuoche, Zhonglimei, Cao Xin, Lou Jing and other Qin generals and advisers. The current situation of enemy-to-me in the Hetao area is very similar to the confrontation between the Qin army and the Kanto anti-Qin coalition forces.

At that time, Zhang Han and Wang Li's main force of the Qin army was stationed in Zhao, surrounded by anti-Qin princes. The food and fodder needed by the Qin army also had to be transported from Guanzhong. The Wang Li border army, located at the forefront of the battlefield, needed a corridor to ensure that the camp had sufficient supply.

With the main force of the Qin army heading north, Gaonu City, located on the banks of Wuding River, has become the rear base of the Qin army and has an important material transfer point. In the strong city of Gaonu, Li Yuan left behind Wang Shang, a confidant general. With Wang Shang's ability to control the battle situation, as long as Gaonu City is not lost, Guanzhong will not be captured by the Huns.

As for the safety of the corridor, Li Zuoche was unwilling to ask for orders to take over. The two armies charged in front of the formation and killed the generals and seized the flag. It was not his strength, but Li Zuoche was better than others in terms of defense and use strategies. Li Zuoche, known for his wisdom, had an unusual sense of sensitivity in predicting the possible actions of the enemy generals in the next step.

This time, Li Yuan also attached great importance to the fierce and barbaric Helian tribe of the Northern Huns. After repeated consideration, he equipped Li Zuoche with a deputy general who was used to fighting: Hu Ju.

Hu Jue was once a subordinate of the Juye thief Peng Yue, and now he is an ordinary lieutenant in the Qin army. There are more than 2,000 Qin generals and soldiers under him, which is no different from other lieutenants. After Qin defeated Chu, Peng Yue was appointed as the governor of Donghai County and continued to stay in the Pengcheng area, while his subordinates and thieves gradually integrated into the Qin army system.

In fact, it is not just Hu Jue, but also Luan Bu. These former Kanto heroes are experiencing a pain of re-employment. As long as they go through this period of adaptation, their subsequent military career will continue to move forward with the pace of the Qin army's conquest and move forward again.

——.

November 2nd.

Helianbi led his tribe's cavalry to appear on the south bank of the Great River. He also acted with him with more than 3,000 rebel soldiers from the Central Plains.

These Qin traitors who betrayed their hometown were composed of intercourses bought by the princes and old subordinates from various countries from Kanto, old subordinates, Zang Yan, and thieves who were attacked by the Qin army and had nowhere to settle down. These days, they burned, killed and robbed in Henan. They did almost everything they could do, and many hidden places that the Hun tribes could not find were found by these guys who were familiar with the terrain.

Helianbi looked down on Zang Yan from the bottom of his heart, a villain who betrayed the interests of his hometown, but now the Great Shanyu needs him, so he is proud of himself.

"King Helian. My scouts have already found out that some areas around the Qin army's corridor are not covered with sharp stones. If we move quickly, we can cut off the Qin army's supply route in one fell swoop before the Qin people return to help. If we are lucky, we can wait until the Qin army's grain transport troops arrive before taking action. By then, we will be developed." Zang Yan approached Helian and advised.

Although Helianbi was not trusted by Maodun, in order to appease the Helian tribe, Maodun still granted King Youguli to Helianbi before going to war.

Zang Yan called out a good call from King Helian. However, Helianbi looked at the vague corridor in the distance, and did not look at Zang Yan. He only said coldly: "Shimao Zang, military affairs. I will decide on it. Your unit's mission is to find out clearly. What other means does the main force of the Qin army go north this time and have not been sent out. I hope that you can live up to the heavy trust of the Great Shanyu. If you miss this task because of your greed for me, don't blame me for being rude."

Zang Yan was stunned, his expression changed several times, and finally he finally suppressed his anger and said muffled: "I know, King Xie's advice. However, the Great Shanyu had already ordered that within ten days, our army must launch an attack on the Qin army's corridor, and it is best to completely cut off the supply of the corridor within twenty days. Don't forget it, the king."

After saying that, Zang Yan no longer had the interest in talking with Helianbi, and turned his own formation.

The truth is different and we don’t plan for each other.

In fact, Zang Yan also looked down on barbarian warriors like Helianbi. Among the leaders of the Huns, only Maodun was the only one who could be regarded by Zang Yan.

"King, this Zang Yan is too rampant. How can the warriors of our Helian tribe be humiliated by a southern traitor?" A tribe leader cursed angrily by Helianbi's side.

"It's just that the fox is just pretending to be a tiger's power, don't worry. When our Helian tribe becomes stronger, these villains will beg to kneel in front of you and me, and offer their wife and daughter to ask for forgiveness." Helianbi sneered and said.

Zang Yan's threat.

Helianbi hasn't taken it seriously yet.

However, behind Zang Yan, there was Maodun's support. He was decisive in killing, turning his hands to Yunqiu and Yu in the Great Shanyu. Helianbi asked himself that with his current strength, he could not regret Maodun's position, and even showed a slight dissatisfaction, which might cause disaster.

The disagreement between Helianbi and Zang Yan is just a small episode in the huge Hetao battlefield. In the face of a larger-scale change in the battle situation, neither Maodun nor Li Yuan have the energy to pay attention to the psychological problems of one or two people. In fact, the fluctuations in people's hearts can often affect the overall situation.

"All the troops are in charge, and the command will be sent to the entire army, and the entire army will march to Yiqiu twenty miles away. At noon tomorrow, we will attack the enemy on time." Helianbi was silent for a long time and shouted coldly.

Helianbi did not fully believe Zang Yan's plausible news channels. After the destruction of the border troops, Zang Yan's people had been exposed. The rigorous military discipline of the main force of the Qin army that had just entered Hetao was not something Zang Yan could find out. As the leader of the tribe, Helianbi believed in his judgment ability even more.

In addition, the change in the mentality of the generals and soldiers within the Helian tribe made Helianbi no longer hesitate. He has been traveling from Beihai thousands of miles away to Hetao. It has been more than three months since time passed. As time goes by, many soldiers have already thought of homesickness. How can they defeat the enemy if the morale of the army is unstable?

Therefore, for the Helian tribe, quick battle is actually the only choice.

Fortunately, the Helian tribe just retreated from Gao Nu to Hetao a month ago, and was not unfamiliar with the terrain of this area. Since the military action of attacking the Qin army corridor could no longer be delayed, we had to take a risk.

The only thing that made Helianbi fear was that the defenses on the Qin army corridor were unpredictable. The Qin army would have a supply point every twenty miles. At this larger supply point, there were generally about six or seven hundred defenders. Although this small army was not large, it was a key to preventing the Huns from further destruction of the corridor.

With this timely Qin army unit, it became difficult for the Hun cavalry to destroy the corridor in a short period of time. After all, the Hun cavalry was good at field battles, rather than how to turn the Qin people's solid corridor into a pile of waste. They might be able to burn wooden fences and burn logs to charcoal, but this did not affect the passage of the corridor. The Qin army's baggage troops only needed to pull a few more large cars to repair all the damaged areas within a quarter of an hour.

Yiqu.

An important node on the Qin army corridor, the corridor target that the Huns finally identified as attacking. This place is located in the middle section of Bainijing and Gaonu City, and is the source of the Wuding River. It has abundant water and grasslands around it. Even when winter enters, the grassland moistened by the water source is still a little green, which is very suitable for the rest of the grassland tribes.

The ability to further rest and preserve his strength while attacking his opponents was a decision made by Helianbi after careful consideration. For this reason, he did not hesitate to turn against Zang Yan a little. He has to admit that Helianbi's battlefield interpretation ability is excellent. It is not easy to find the weakest fulcrum of the Qin army on the long corridor. Some places seem to be flaws, but it may also be a trap set by the Qin army.

Starting from early November, for seven days, the Helian tribe launched multiple rounds of tentative attacks on the Qin army corridor in Yiqu. The evolution of the battle made Helianbi look ashen.

The bodies of the Hun cavalry were lying on the cold ground. Some of them rushed forward, while others simply looked at the blue sky with unwillingness to charge bravely again and again, but the cheers of breaking through the Qin army's defense and occupying this supply land.

Helianbi's movements were very cautious. He did not refer to Zang Yan's opinion and the one-time investment was only about a thousand people. Although this amount of force did not play any decisive role in the Qin army's baggage troops guarding the corridor, it could expose all the trump cards of the Qin army.

Judging from the equipment exposed by the Qin army, the Qin infantry guarding the corridor was equipped with crossbows, plus fences on both sides and strong chariots as barriers. Based on these alone, the Qin army seemed to be confident in defending the corridor.

"King, it's been seven days. The messengers of the Great Shanyu came three times in a row. If they delayed, they would be unable to block the Helian tribe." Zang Yan said with a distressed look beside Helianbi, but his face clearly showed a gloating look.

Helianbi sneered and said, "No need to say much about the Minister Zang, you can tell the Great Shanyu that within three days, I, Helianbi, will break the corridor and will never drag the army down."

Battle of the corridor.

With the rumbling of the war drum, we are entering the hottest stage step by step. While Helianbi is playing chess with Li Zuoche, Maodun and Li Yuan, the two people behind the chess, staring at each move of each other, hoping to find a breakthrough from the flaws exposed by the other party.

The climax of the Hetao War is about to come.
