Given the Xiongnu's character, it was impossible for them to turn a blind eye to the discovery of the valley and the Xuanhuang Village.
Yi Tianxing had already guessed it from the words of the commoners. Given Liu Bao's ferocity, he would not tolerate a rebellion or a slave escaping to live a free and unfettered life. In addition, during the riot, the barracks would be set on fire. Even if the fire could be extinguished, it would destroy more than half of the barracks and most of the fortifications.
As long as the news was passed, Liu Bao would definitely gather his army and come to the valley.
After all, under normal circumstances, with the strength of an elite Xiongnu army, it was absolutely a piece of cake to destroy a small village. There was no power that could stop the charge of the Xiongnu cavalry, especially a simple and crude village. It was simply a piece of fat meat on the chopping board. Given the Xiongnu's wolfish nature, it was impossible for them to give up and turn a blind eye.
The Xiongnu would definitely come.
Since they were coming, Yi Tianxing naturally had to prepare a top-notch feast for them.
"Lord, do you have any ideas?"
Huang Chengyan saw it and immediately asked.
He was a Confucian cultivator, not a tactician. He wasn't too outstanding when it came to various battlefield strategies. Compared to the monstrous geniuses he knew, he wasn't even worth mentioning. However, even though his strategies couldn't affect the outcome of the battle, he still had a trump card in his hand. His eyesight was also extraordinary.
From the expression on Yi Tianxing's face, it was obvious that he already had a certain idea in mind.
He also wanted to see if Yi Tianxing had the ability to strategize. If he did, his future achievements would definitely be even more immeasurable.
"Well, Elder Huang, I have never led an army or participated in a large-scale battle. I only have some ideas that are not very mature. At most, they are just armchair strategists. Let me tell you what I think first. If there's anything wrong, feel free to tell me. "
Yi Tianxing opened his mouth and said.
In the past, when he was bored, he did read many books. Modern books, ancient books, the Four Books and Five Classics of Huaxia, various scriptures of Taoism, and even various notes of the Cottage, such as Liaozhai, the Thirty-Six Stratagems, the art of war, and the Thick Black Theory.
Although there were many things that had not been studied seriously, in the original era of information explosion, even if they did not understand, they would still know some things. In terms of foresight, scope, and even the expansion of thinking, he was confident that he was not inferior to anyone. He might even surpass the historical strategists of the past. At the very least, they had an advantage in a certain aspect. However, one could not deny the strategies of those top tacticians.
What made them powerful wasn't their rigid strategies, but their powerful wisdom, intellect, and IQ.
Every strategy had its flaws, but their powerful intellect allowed them to adapt to the situation and completely cover up all the flaws. In the end, the strategy would be able to achieve its goal. This was the true strength of top-notch tacticians. They were not like ordinary tacticians who only knew how to copy strategies, memorize them, and only knew how to talk on paper. It was like a tiger made of paper, easily broken with a single poke. They couldn't withstand the test of actual combat.
Otherwise, with so many books on the art of war, why would only a small portion of them become top-notch strategists? The most important thing was to adapt to local conditions.
"Just tell me, Lord." Huang Chengyan was even more curious when he heard this.
To become a tactician on the battlefield, one had to have extraordinary foresight and different thinking abilities. Only then would one be able to exceed expectations and play the most important role.
Even Cai Yan felt a strong sense of curiosity and interest.
He wanted to hear what good methods Yi Tianxing had to say to resist the invasion of the Xiong Nu at this moment.
Once the Xiong Nu came, it would definitely be a tragic battle.
"I've observed that there is only one entrance in the valley nearby. It's that long canyon. The canyon is like a huge mountain that was split in half. Only this path can enter the valley. In other words, if this canyon is guarded, the Xiong Nu army won't be able to enter the valley at all. To a certain extent, it can block the enemy outside. This isn't difficult. We just need to block the exit with large rocks. "
Yi Tianxing said.
This method could be said to be the simplest. To a certain extent, the Xiong Nu couldn't enter the valley, at least not in a short period of time. This way, the safety of the village could be guaranteed and they wouldn't have to face the Xiong Nu army directly. But this was only the most negative way.
"Of course, blocking the enemy outside is also completely sealing off our path to the outside. Moreover, the enemy is the Xiong Nu. What I want to do is to bury them here. I want this place to become the grave of the Xiong Nu. "
After knowing that the Xiong Nu ate humans, he had no intention of letting them off easily. As long as it was possible, none of them could live. All of them had to die. They had to be completely annihilated here.
"Lord, do you have any good ideas?" Yang Ye had also arrived and asked.
"The Xiong Nu's strongest point is their archery. They grew up on horseback. As long as they are a man, they can shoot arrows on horseback. This is a legacy that comes from their bones. They are naturally talented in archery. As long as we restrict their archery, we can reduce the strength of the Xiong Nu army by half. Although we have the protection of the city walls, the archery of the Xiong Nu cavalry and their large numbers can pose a great threat to the city walls. If we can prevent them from getting close, we can. "
Yi Tianxing said leisurely, "My idea is to first strip the advantage of the Xiong Nu cavalry. Cavalry can only unleash their true destructive power on flat plains. We can do that. "
Yi Tianxing immediately expressed his idea.
It was not a very profound idea. In fact, it could even be said to be very simple. But when Huang Chengyan and Yang Ye heard it, their eyes lit up. They felt that this idea was very feasible. They could definitely give it a try. If they succeeded, the Xiong Nu's most powerful cavalry would be completely reduced to nothing. They would turn from cavalry to infantry. They would not be able to unleash 50% of their strength.
This would be a great help in killing the Xiong Nu.
Then, Yi Tianxing suggested other ideas.
Yang Ye nodded continuously at the side, seriously evaluating the feasibility of each idea.
On the other hand, Cai Yan's eyes shone brightly. She looked at Yi Tian Xing with a different gaze. Confident men often had a unique charm. The lethality of this kind of charm to women was quite huge.
Not long after, after a few more replenishments.
Then, a large number of commoners quickly left the village under Yang Ye's lead and headed outside. They had all kinds of tools in their hands.
As for Cai Yan, Yi Tianxing arranged for him to live in his mansion. Huang Chengyan also lived in this mansion. No one would say anything if he moved in.
Cai Yan did not reject this.
The Xiong Nu camp.
This fire filled the camp with the smell of smoke, and most of the fortifications were completely burned into ruins. Many Xiong Nu corpses were carried out from the ruins. Some were even burned to ashes. Some took knockout drugs and fell asleep in their tents. They did not even wake up from the fighting outside. They were burned alive in the flames.
Some were killed in the chaos.
The number was not small.
"Prince Zuoxian, the statistics are out. More than one thousand five hundred soldiers were killed or injured in this riot. They were all caught off guard and died a violent death. Some were burned to death. They were poisoned. It should be some kind of knockout drug. Their strength was greatly reduced. "
A soldier came forward to report.
More than 1,000 Xiong Nu soldiers. Liu Bao's face darkened when he heard this number. In this world, there would be one less Xiong Nu dead. The strength of the veterans would be reduced. Unless they could find a place where they could recuperate. Otherwise, there was no way to make up for this loss in a short period of time.
"How many of those damned two-legged goats have been killed?" Liu Bao said coldly.
"It was too late, and it was dark outside. Those people ran very quickly and in batches, causing the pursuing troops to split up. However, some of them were killed. Those female slaves committed suicide when they were about to be caught. None of them survived. "
Someone answered.
The impact this time was too great.
However, once those women were caught, they knew that they would meet a tragic end. Therefore, none of them were prepared to live. All of them committed suicide without hesitation, afraid that they would meet a terrible end.
"Hmph, it's too easy for them to die." Liu Bao sneered.
"Report!"
Just then, a shout was heard.
He saw a Xiongnu soldier covered in blood being quickly brought over.
"Reporting to the Left Virtuous King, we chased those slaves into a valley. That valley is the one you're looking for. There's a Han village in there, and those slaves escaped into that village. We immediately came back to report the situation. However, we encountered some ferocious beasts along the way. Two of our brothers sacrificed their lives to lure the beasts away so that I could come back to report. This is a map, and we've marked it. We'll be able to find the valley if we follow the markings. "
After the soldier finished speaking, he could no longer hold on. He fell to the ground on the spot and breathed his last.
He had already been severely injured by the ferocious beasts. It wasn't easy for him to survive until now.
"We actually found that valley, and there's a Han village in there."
Liu Bao's eyes flashed with excitement when he heard that. The gloominess on his face was instantly swept away. In his eyes, that valley was the supreme treasure land for the Xiongnu to thrive and thrive. He didn't expect to find it at this time.
This was a pleasant surprise.
"Pass down the order. Cook the corpses of those slaves so that everyone can have a good meal. After that, the army will move out. That valley is the place where we, the Xiong Nu, live and flourish. We're going to conquer it! "
