Chapter 672: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! Absolutely Not!
Soon, Meng Tian finished talking about the basic situation recently, and then asked others,
"What are your countermeasures?"
Meng Tian asked this, of course, not because he was unsure, but because asking for advice was also a basic means of communication, and it could also train his generals.
The people here are the core generals of the Great Qin border army, and their growth is related to the future security of the Great Qin border.
After hearing the question, the generals and generals in the camp looked a little solemn. They all knew that the Huns' offensive this time was different from previous years.
"General, I think that in dealing with the Huns this time, we should still use the Great Wall as a defense line."
Soon a mature and steady general said,
"As long as these people get off their horses, they will not be our opponents."
Most of the other generals couldn't help but nod. Da Qin's frontier troops had been fighting with the Xiongnu for so many years, and they had already developed a set of safe fighting methods.
The Huns relied on the high mobility of their cavalry, and the Qin Dynasty built the Great Wall for defense.
Of course we have to defend with the Great Wall at our back.
On the ground, Da Qin is the strongest in the world, bar none.
Meng Tian did not immediately express his approval, but looked at the others, but no one said more.
In other words, this is the idea of the vast majority of generals. Of course, safety must be the first priority in military and national affairs.
Meng Tian then looked at Zhao Lang and asked,
"What strategies does Your Highness the Crown Prince have?"
Everyone immediately looked at Zhao Lang with complicated expressions.
Of course they knew Zhao Lang's identity. He was the crown prince of Da Qin and now the leader of hundreds of schools, including military strategists. He had also put down the civil strife in Da Qin.
Already famous.
To a certain extent, he is also the leader of them and Meng Tian.
It's just that the generals of the Qin army here put Da Qin ahead of their military strategists.
But when the other party arrived, he realized that he was still so young.
The mood is somewhat complicated.
Zhao Lang didn't pay attention to the psychological activities of the Qin army generals, but thought for a while and said,
"General Meng, although the method this general said is sound, the situation this time is slightly different."
"This time it's not just the Huns, but also the Qiang and Yuezhi."
"Including these two sides, our army's defense length is thousands of miles! If we still follow the previous defense methods, the northern counties will probably suffer heavy losses."
"Moreover, if the Xiongnu broke through from the weak point and then attacked the hinterland, Great Qin's losses would probably be even greater."
Zhao Lang quickly stated all the concerns he had already thought about one by one, and then finally said,
"So this time, I want to take the initiative."
After hearing Zhao Lang's words, the others almost said in unison,
"Your Highness the Crown Prince! You must not!"
Of course they knew what Zhao Lang said was true, and they were ready to accept the loss.
Because this is the actual situation, and the people in the counties and counties in the North suffered the same in previous years.
No choice.
But Zhao Lang actually said he would take the initiative, which was a joke.
Even Meng Tian himself was stunned for a moment.
Although he had led a large army to raid the Huns before, and drove the Huns' royal court into the depths of the grassland.
But it was unexpected, and a lot of people were lost, just driving the other party out.
Didn’t you see that the other party is making a comeback now?
The situation is even more different now. The Xiongnu's military strength is far greater than before. The Qin army abandoned the Great Wall and fought hard on the grasslands with 300,000 Xiongnu cavalry. This is crazy.
Meng Tian also said a little uncontrollably at this time,
"Your Highness, this response is a bit radical. After all, the grassland is different from the south."
"Although our cavalry is also very strong, the number is somewhat smaller. After the vigorous preparation and expansion in the past two years, it is only tens of thousands."
Although Zhao Lang's idea was very general, he still had to give him face. When he mentioned the south, he also told other generals that Zhao Lang had actual military exploits.
By the way, I also gave Zhao Lang a step to get down.
It’s just that Zhao Lang didn’t have any intention of coming down, but said extremely seriously,
"If we don't do this, we won't be able to raid these people's hometowns."
Hearing this, Meng Tian's eyes lit up slightly and he said,
"Sneak attack?"
Zhao Lang nodded immediately,
"The main purpose of taking the initiative to attack is to attract the attention of these people, and then send two fierce generals to attack the rears of the Qiang and Yuezhi respectively, forcing them to return reinforcements to the Huns' cavalry, and first disintegrate the power of these two parties."
"The same goes for the Huns."
If you can threaten the opponent's hometown, then you can break these people's will to fight.
Although several parties are united now, they are not monolithic.
Besides, stealing the other party's hometown is his real purpose.
Otherwise, even if the Xiongnu attack is temporarily repelled, within ten years, these grassland peoples will come back again.
Just like weeds on the grassland, they grow again when the spring breeze blows.
Meng Tian also began to think thoughtfully, but General Lao Cheng on the side said with a bit of anxiety,
"Your Highness, you are taking it too much for granted. It is good that the Qiang and Yuezhi are weak. A cavalry attack may be useful."
"But the Huns are not fools. They will definitely leave people to defend them. The grassland is the opponent's main battlefield. Not to mention, how should the Hu people deal with it?"
"Their strength is not weak either."
"And our army only has tens of thousands of cavalry. Should we divide it into four groups and disperse them all?"
When General Lao Cheng finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but agree with him.
Zhao Lang smiled and patted his forehead and said,
"I was careless, but I forgot about the Hu people."
After hearing this, everyone thought that Zhao Lang had compromised, and they felt a little relieved.
Meng Tian also recovered and nodded slightly. Although the idea given by Zhao Lang was good, it was too risky.
These tens of thousands of Qin troops went out in four groups, but their strength was still too weak.
So he pretended to cough and said,
"Well, His Highness the Crown Prince's strategy is good, but..."
But before Meng Tian could finish what he said, Zhao Lang continued:
"I forgot to tell you generals, but this barbarian is one of my people."
"Our cavalry only needs to be responsible for raiding the rear of the Qiang and Yuezhi."
"The Huns' retreat will be taken care of by the Hu people."
"The top priority of our army now is to select two generals for the raid."
Bang bang bang.
Before Zhao Lang finished speaking, several generals in the camp had already taken a few steps back. Fortunately, there were many people behind them, so they did not fall to the ground.
Even Meng Tian lost his voice and said,
"What did you say? Your Highness, this is not something to joke about!"
Zhao Lang didn't hide it anymore.
"The leader of the Celestial Tribe who controls the Huren's royal court now is my man."
"I am also the God of Heaven on the grassland. If General Meng doesn't believe it, the messenger of the God of the Hu people is now in my camp. You can see for yourself."
"And when the time comes, I will let the Hu cavalry attack the Huns at the critical moment."
Upon hearing this, the entire camp fell silent.
