Chapter 335 Clues
""War can't be fought by guessing, can it!" Lu Cheng said.
"Of course! To go alone is dangerous, a single mistake could lead to total defeat. General Lu, shall we begin!"
"What are we starting" Lu Cheng was about to ask.
Card [ Huo Qubing (Early Period of the War in Mobei) ] is temporarily added to your deck!
When you activate card skills, you will have a chance to gain insights into the battle situation!
After we destroyed Tai Shang Ironmonger's large tent, the central army should be attacking Yanmen. They need armor and weapons, these could be them, but..." Huo Qubing slowly squatted down, measuring the tracks on the ground.
The tracks were too faint.
You obtained the clue card [Tire Tracks (Light)]!
"That's grain and dried meat, isn't it" Huo Qubing muttered to himself. "But the bloodstains, they go from over there, to here, and all the way to here."
After the patient left, he paced back and forth, muttering to himself: "It could even be fresh meat, very fresh indeed."
You obtained the clue card {Bloodstains Fresh Meat}
The day before yesterday, I captured a werewolf. After testing it, I found that werewolves need fresh meat every day, whether it's animal meat or human meat. Their appetite is enormous. With the shrinking Han army front line, 200,000 werewolves couldn't hunt enough food. This convoy could possibly be supplying the 200,000 werewolves at Yanmen.
You acquired the Clue Card 【Werewolves' Supplies】!
"But, this is too strange." Huo Qubing frowned. "You and I rode 2000 cavalry here, it took us three days, the caravan to go to Yangu Men, needs 6-8 days ah, the fresh meat would have gone bad, what are they transporting"
Huo Qubing seriously calculated.
You obtained the clue card [Strange Time]!
hisssss
Lu Cheng gasped.
He suddenly seemed to be in a bit of trouble
"Of course, all of this is just speculation, but here's a heavyweight," Huo Qubing breathed out, "The scouts say the supply team has tens of thousands of pack horses, but I don't think so. The Huns have many horses, but most are old and have poor appetites. But judging by the amount of manure, it's clearly young and healthy Xiongnu warhorses. There are so many of them."
You obtained the key clue card 【Warhorse!】
Land Chengxin leads the divine meeting!
"Tire Tracks (Light) Bloodstains Fresh Meat Werewolf Supplies Strange Time War Horse! Card Synthesis!"
Suddenly, the battle situation changed drastically. A series of large covers appeared, all displaying gigantic skulls.
Warning, you revealed the battleground trap card!
Damn it, the wagon is full of the accompanying Hun wolf soldiers' rations, and the accompanying ones are all elite Hun cavalry!
Meng Tian in the Qin Dynasty played such a trick on me, I learned something from him!
Huo Qubing suddenly shouted: "Everyone mount your horses and gallop east rapidly!! This is a trap!!!!"
As darkness fell, the feathered cavalry rode their horses and rushed out of the encirclement just in time.
In one day, Huo Qubing discovered enemy troops surrounding him on seven different sides.
After the breakout, Lu Chengzhen held a post-mortem analysis and was left in a cold sweat.
Three rearguard supply teams, four hidden main force cavalry units, and a flock of ravens in the air. The whole damn place is a trap!
It just crept up on us quietly, completely surrounded by a hundred thousand reaction troops.
If it's a little slow to be found, or you find one less, stuck with a package, dead.
It was just a little bit short of being beyond redemption, it really was only by that tiny margin!
"It was quite a close call. I set up an ambush ahead and should be able to rest for two hours," Lu Cheng said.
"General Lu, this is dangerous, isn't it" Huo Qubing still wore an expression of calmness.
"Isn't this dangerous" Lu Cheng said, "They are using the supply team as bait and have quietly formed a seven-envelopment."
"This trap and encirclement aren't dangerous, the real danger hasn't begun yet." Huo Qubing shook his head.
Lu Cheng knew what Huo Qubing was referring to.
On the battlefield, treachery and traps are common, as are military formations. But this was something different, truly unsettling. What was most frightening was how the enemy army appeared and was deployed.
"Let's run a simulation then."
"Hmm."
When you activate card skills, you'll have a chance to gain tactical insight into the battlefield!
Our army is currently operating more than 600 li east of Yinshan. This 100,000 strong mobile force will set up an ambush within two days, forming a siege. Theoretically, if troops depart simultaneously from the northwest Wangting and Yinshan directions...
You obtained a clue 【Marching Route】!
"Based on our reconnaissance, the three supply columns we detected along the main supply lines are all traps!" Huo Qubing pondered. "As for how they came to be, let's put that aside for now. The fact that we haven't found a single actual supply line is very strange. Could it be that the Xiongnu front truly doesn't need supplies"
"Wait, the Xiongnu might know we've infiltrated. Could the supply column have taken a detour" Lu Cheng asked.
"That's a good question, but it's unrealistic. The supply lines for an army of a million men are unimaginable in scale. From the very beginning of our dynasty, we have been constantly working to secure supply routes, and even now, only one in ten supplies sent to the border arrive. The Xiongnu's supply lines would be even worse than ours. They can't afford the detour, they absolutely can't afford it." Huo Qubing shook his head.
"The Moon God helped them," Lu Cheng replied without hesitation.
"That's right!"
You obtained the clue [Strange Supply Line]!
"Let's go back to the current situation. This encirclement of seven factions is unreasonable, at least for the Eastern faction. They appeared out of thin air." Huo Qubing scribbled on the ground.
You obtained the clue [A Mobile Unit Appearing Out of Thin Air].
"The Moon Goddess once assassinated King Qin through stories. She couldn't possibly teleport 100,000 troops and a million supply lines, could she" Lu Cheng felt deep concern.
"Why didn't she directly send a large army across Yanmen Pass, over Yunzhong, into Chang'an Is it due to limited ability or is there another hidden motive" Huo Qubing gazed at the bright moon in the sky, his expression profound.
You obtained a clue 【Lunar Power】.
"Why can they move so freely Where is their logistics General Lu, we're missing a piece of the puzzle," said Lu Cheng.
It is currently not possible to synthesize clue cards.
"With those 30 suits of Xuanjin Mechanized Armor you provided, I'll figure out a way. We'll penetrate the most eerie eastern flank where the ambush originated, and find this missing piece!"
Chang'an, Weiyang Palace.
"How is the intelligence from Liangzhou" Han Wudi Liu Che asked calmly.
Although Wei Qing's army of 100,000 was weaker than the Xiongnu in terms of numbers, he was named Wei Qing!
"Reporting to Your Majesty, General Wei Qing has divided his troops and horses into nine detachments, stationed throughout Liangzhou. They are adopting an offensive strategy of attacking rather than defending, with remarkable results. Although they haven't been able to defeat the enemy, at least they can hold them off for some time."
"It seems Wei Qing is doing well. How is the situation on the central road in Bingzhou now Why did the Xiongnu come so quickly"
“Your Majesty, the clouds are falling from the sky, the General of Yanmen Pass has surrendered to the enemy, the ferocious wolf warriors of the Xiongnu central army are charging in fiercely, and Bingzhou is already in ruins!” An official stammered.
"Where is Youzhou" Liu Che's face remained impassive.
A general reported, "Your Majesty, the front line reports that the Hunnish army in Youzhou is behaving very strangely. They can even resurrect corpses, and their numbers seem to increase with every battle. Their southward advance is unstoppable!"
When all the officials and military commanders heard this, they whispered to each other in hushed tones. The situation was even worse than they had imagined.
As everyone knows, cold, hard reports are written in the blood of local troops.
"Your Majesty, the left flank is still holding. The main Hunnish force on the right is attacking cities and fortifications, and they will reach Chang'an in a matter of days!"
"Where is my right wing Where is General Huo now" Liu Che asked.
