Chapter 308 Bu Dugen’s plan

Ma Su didn't know that his plan to kill his various generals and even his own cavalry was revealed by Deng Fan in less than a stick of incense.

Ma Su's initial plan was very simple, which was to send out elite soldiers and strong generals, while he would die with a very small number of troops.

With Zhang Ni as the main force, he stationed himself on the only way Huma went south to protect his headquarters' grain road. Jiang Wei and Shu Ji each led thousands of troops, surrounded the enemy's rear and harassed the enemy's rear. They and Zhang Yi attacked from behind and defeated the Hu soldiers.

Ma Su himself, with only more than a thousand infantry and the Qiang and Hu cavalry, stationed himself a hundred miles away from Zhang Yi. On the surface, this arrangement is for support, but in fact, it is constantly wandering on the line of death.

With a distance of more than a hundred miles, if Bu Dugen was determined to attack him, even if Zhang Yi led his troops and flew, he would not be able to rescue him in time. And with only a thousand infantry and a few thousand unwilling barbarians to defeat tens of thousands of Xianbei's main force...

How is this possible to win? I, Ma Su, don’t believe it myself!

But it doesn't matter if Ma Su doesn't believe it. Ma Su believes that Jiang Wei and the others will definitely believe it. By keeping them away in this way, Ma Su himself can attack and wither away at any time.

After preparing his troops, horses and luggage, Ma Su did not pursue the origin of the acrimonious cold before. The confident General Zhengbei officially set out westward with more than 4,000 troops and horses.

At the same time as Ma Su set out, Jiang Wei, Shu Ji, Zhang Yi and others quickly prepared their troops and prepared for the expedition. However, their arrangement of the battle situation is slightly different from Ma Su's arrangement...

At the same time, the main Xianbei force led by Bu Dugen in the north has begun to move southward.

Ma Su's guess was correct, Bu Dugen was indeed frightened.

Because Ma Su was rampant in Longyou before, his performance in the northwest was considered unknown, and Bu Dugen had heard about it to some extent. But at first, no one took the whole so-called Shenwei General seriously.

Even Ma Chao back then had to be slapped twice when he came to the north, let alone you.

But when Ma Su defeated Kebineng and the Han army defeated Beidi County in three months, all the barbarians in the north were afraid. Everyone knows that Ma Su likes to kill everyone. His purpose of going north is to rob Shuofang County, but who knows if Ma Su is here to take care of Bu Dugen.

So after Bu Dugen heard that the Han army was marching north, he conscripted all the fighting men of the tribe without saying a word, and formed tens of thousands of people to go south to resist the Han army. He personally led 30,000 elite cavalry to go first, and the follow-up troops followed. Basically, he was risking his life to fight with you, Ma Su.

"I report to Shanyu that the main force of the Shu army in the south is divided into four groups. One group goes west to garrison, one group stays in place, and the other two groups have disappeared!"

"Missing! What are you doing for food?" When Bu Dugen heard this, he suddenly became furious.

"We sent you to investigate the enemy's situation, not for you to hang out! Those Southerners were divided into four groups of soldiers, and two of them have disappeared."

"What if they ambush somewhere and cause my war to fail miserably? Can you bear the responsibility?"

"Go and investigate for me immediately. If you can't detect the enemy, don't come back to see me!"

Bu Dugen angrily scolded Tanma for his inaction, and then took a deep breath to suppress his anger. He must deal with it calmly at this moment. If he is not careful, he may be plotted by those cunning Han people.

Although these detective horses are all useless, they still provided some information after all. After Bu Dugen suppressed his anger, he learned about the Han army's intelligence in detail.

"Ma Di personally led thousands of soldiers and horses to camp westward? And he also brought with him three thousand cavalry?" Bu Dugen narrowed his eyes and understood something instantly.

"Is he planning to confront our army head-on in person? With Zhang Yi as support and the other two groups as harassment?"

According to rumors, Ma Su's troops were basically under five thousand. The fewer soldiers and horses there are, the more amazing their results will be, often defeating more with less. If there are infantry among the troops he leads, it means that Ma Su is going to have a big fight.

So when he learned that Ma Di personally brought 3,000 cavalry and 1,000 infantry, Bu Dugen immediately guessed that Ma Di planned to confront them personally. As for the specific composition of the cavalry led by Ma Su... Ma Su relied on the Qiang and Hu cavalry to start his career. The three thousand Hu cavalry are obviously the main force of his headquarters!

Frontal toughness... It is said that Kebi was able to lead 20,000 elite men in his headquarters, but he was defeated by Ma Su head-on.

He was very aware of the combat power of Kebineng's troops and horses. Kebineng had used a chain of chariots to drive him out of Yanmen. Even Ke Bineng couldn't beat Ma Su head-on, so there was a high probability that he would be beaten to the ground.

As soon as he thought this, Bu Dugen immediately knew what he should do next.

"The Southern soldiers marched north with the power of victory, and they must be looking for a quick battle! We should dig deep ditches and high forts, hold on without fighting, and send out scattered cavalry to cut off their food routes. In less than a hundred days, these Southerners will run out of food and return. of!"

Having made a decision, Bu Dugen pretended to be confident of victory and started talking nonsense to his subordinates.

"At that time, if we continue to follow him and pursue him continuously without letting him rest, we will definitely win a big victory!"

"It's ridiculous that Kebi can claim to know the most about the Han people, but he was defeated by such southern soldiers. It's really ridiculous!"

Bu Dugen's attitude calmed many of his fearful subordinates, and the morale of the Xianbei army was subsequently stabilized.

Then, under the command of Bu Dugen, this group of Huqi marched eastward and found a hillside area with mountains, water and grass to set up camp. Tens of thousands of Xianbei soldiers were stationed here, preparing to join the follow-up troops in deep ditches and high fortresses to defeat Ma Su.

But at this time, the Han army, which he believed was responsible for containing the guerrillas, began to take action directly.

…………

In the Qiang and Hu rear army, more than 10,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people are guarding cattle, sheep and food and supervising the transportation of food and grass to the front line.

The Hu people were different from the Central Plains dynasties. Most of the time, they did not need logistics. Hu Bing was already capable of both combat and herding tasks. The old, weak, women and children could also ride horses and herd animals, so there was no need for additional manpower.

Moreover, their food consists of cattle and sheep that can survive by eating grass. If this is not possible, they can kill horses for food.

Most of the time, when Hu soldiers are fighting, there will be a group of old and weak people not far behind who are responsible for supervising the transportation of cattle and sheep to the military camp. When the Hu people are not fighting, they will find pastures for grazing on the spot near the military camp, without considering the issue of food routes at all.

This is also the reason why Budugen dared to fight Ma Su. After all, Ma Su needs logistics, but Bu Dugen does not. Playing at home still has certain advantages.

However, when these logistics teams were transporting a large number of cattle and sheep to the front line, suddenly at dusk, a raging fire broke out in front of them!

On the prairie, it was late spring and summer, and the fire suddenly appeared like a ghost. Taking advantage of the wind, the fire spread all of a sudden.

This suddenly made the old and weak barbarians panic, and they quickly drove their cattle and sheep away to avoid the fire. However, their team had just dispersed and before they could regroup, countless figures suddenly shot out from the side of the fire!
