Nanhou Mountain.

The altitude is not high, it is just a relatively high mountain on the south bank of Gonglu River.

Therefore, this mountain with an altitude of more than 1,000 meters has become an iconic geographical term.

However, the one who decides to belong to this area is still the grassland between the mountain and Gonglu River, north of Nanhou Mountain.

She Li set up his tent of the Right King King at the foot of the mountain.

Countless scouts have been sent out.

The information began to come back continuously.

After all, the main force of the Han army's northern expedition was nearly 20,000 to 30,000, and there were more than 100,000 livestock herds, which were storming and stretching for dozens of miles.

As long as the eyes were not blind, even if they were hundreds of miles away, the Huns could clearly observe the actions of the Han army.

"The Han army sent a cavalry to detour from southeast to southwest, and the target should be the southern sheep basin in Gonglu Hequ!" She Li looked at the leaders of various Xiongnu tribes in front of him and asked slowly: "How come there are warriors who are willing to lead the army to snipe and intercept the attacks of the Han people?"

The sheep pot is the name of all nomadic peoples including the Huns, especially the nomadic peoples in the northern desert. For those who have been through generations, they choose to concentrate their livestock overnight during their migration and grazing.

It is also the most important and most precious area for the nomadic peoples in the grassland!

Its importance is no less than a plump pasture.

This is because the temperature at night is terrible.

Even in summer, there are often harsh climates below zero.

If it is autumn and winter, it may still be sunny during the day, but it will be snowing heavily at night, and the temperature will drop directly to minus ten degrees and twenty degrees!

If the cubs, the elderly and the weak in the herds do not have a good place to shelter from the wind and cold, they will freeze to death in groups in minutes. Even healthy adult livestock will find it difficult to survive such nights.

Therefore, a basin that can shelter from wind, keep warm, keep cold, and absorb a lot of water is particularly important!

Especially during the migration, such a place is simply a life-saving straw.

The nomads themselves lack creativity and construction capabilities.

They had no choice but to build a city built with bricks and stones on the grassland like the farming people in the Central Plains.

He can only rely on the wisdom and experience of his ancestors to survive.

Therefore, generations of ancestors have chosen to concentrate cattle, sheep and livestock on the migration road in a special place to rest and spend the night.

For thousands of years, it has been circulated from generation to generation.

So, generations of herders kept resting in the same place while driving their livestock to migrate.

The feces of livestock, naturally falling hair, accumulate on the surface.

Generation after generation, year after year.

Over time, the surface of these places was covered with hardened cattle and sheep manure after air-drying, and the hair was covered layer by layer.

Therefore, the warmth effect of the place where it is located is constantly strengthened.

This formed a virtuous cycle.

Over the past few hundred years, these places have been called "sheep pots".

Everyone, including the Huns, regarded as treasures that are more precious than life.

Even if the Huns and Donghu people were killed by life and death, no one wanted to go over and destroy these places.

Even though the Yuezhi people were beaten and walked tens of thousands of miles away and even the king's head was cut off, the Yuezhi people did not destroy the sheep pots under their control.

Until that man appears...

He brought blood and fire to the grassland.

What he likes to do the most is to lead his cavalry, constantly interspersing and then attacking and then attacking.

During the decisive battle in Mobei, his cavalry fought from the underwater of Gonglu to Nanhou Mountain within seven days.

Along the way, he burned all the sheep pots he saw.

Countless people and countless generations of hard accumulation and operation have been destroyed overnight in the blazing flames.

This is the truth that the Huns have spent twenty or thirty years but have not recovered their vitality!

The population can be bred and robbed.

Livestock can prosper and grow.

But sheep pots require generations of management and accumulation.

It cannot be recovered in one or two days, one or two years.

Its existence and natural accumulation are calculated using a hundred years as the scale.

There is no doubt that the Han army once again invaded the northern part of the Mo.

The deepest fear in the hearts of the Huns was the reuse of the Han army's old tricks.

Burn all the sheep pots they saw along the way with a fire!

Then, even if the Han people are finally defeated, the Huns will lose the sheep pot that they have worked hard to rebuilt and cultivated over the past twenty years.

This year, next year, the year after tomorrow, and even the year after tomorrow.

The tribe's livestock herds will die in large numbers due to the wind and snow during the migration.

However……

Sheli has been watching for a long time, but no one is willing to volunteer.

This made him frown.

"The Han Dynasty has only 500 cavalrymen..." He stared at him: "Does the great descendants of the gods, the favored ones of the sun and the moon, even the five hundred cavalry dare to challenge?"

"Tu She!" Finally, a nobleman stood up and said, "It's not that we are afraid of the Han Dynasty, it's really..."

He lowered his head and said, "After crossing the river, what's the use of defeating the light cavalry of the Han Dynasty?"

"We have given up all the places south of the Gonglu River!"

"What's the problem with giving up another sheep pot?"

These questions immediately resonated with everyone else.

In the current era, the Han army is like Mount Tai, pressing against the hearts of every enemy and opponent of His.

No one dares to underestimate the Han army!

Even few people dare to take the initiative to attack the Han army while evenly matched.

Even though this Han army has experienced several major wars and has experienced arduous marches in the past few days.

not to mention……

Now, all fools know that crossing the river is seeking death!

The mother, Yang, had long given up the entire southern bank area of ​​Gonglu River.

Even Nanhou Mountain gave up.

He concentrated his troops and handed them over to the Right King Tu She, and asked him to be placed on the grassland on the north bank and treated the Han army solemnly.

It is clear that it is telling the Han people - you can play casually in Henan, and don’t think about Hebei!

This is the conventional strategy of the Xiongnu when facing the main attacks of the Han army after Yin Zhixie Shanyu.

If you can't beat it, you will retreat.

Using natural dangers and distance, they dragged down and dragged down the Han army and eventually forced them back.

At the same time, avoid all positive decisive battles from the main force as much as possible.

But Sheli didn't think so.

He is the Right King!

but……

He is just a Right King without much power!

In the Shanyu inheritance sequence, he is even worse than the Rizhu King of the Western Regions!

If he just leads troops, stalemates with Han, and then forces the Han army to retreat, how can he show his ability?

How to improve his reputation?

He hopes to use a victory.

Even if you use the victory piled up by corpses to improve your status.

The Han cavalry, who had left the main force of the Han army and moved towards the upstream river bend, was undoubtedly the first choice.

If this rash Han cavalry could be eliminated, their armor and heads would be sent to Guyan Mountain.

She Li knew that Mother Yan would definitely be very happy.

The entire Shuangshi and the four major clans will also look at him with admiration.
