"Enter the basin behind the hillside and rest for half a day before marching."
"Promise!"
Xie AI's current position is at the border between Tuoba Dai state and Rouran tribal alliance. He was ordered to lead 12000 cavalry to the north, accompanied by thousands of systematic farmers. They tried their best to walk in the deserted area all the way.
At present, the Tuoba generation country is being invaded by the Han Army led by ran min in the south. Tuoba Gu leads the Tuoba generation army to deal with ran min. most of the Tuoba generation army is dragged on the grassland in the southern region.
Xie AI first entered Hetao, followed by Yinshan Mountain from Jiuyuan, and then crossed north to Junji mountain. During this period, he passed fuyangju mountain, and Rouran mountain was on the north side of Junji mountain. Then he turned to the East.
This time Xie AI went deep alone and didn't want to do anything else, that is to learn from the former champion Hou. The difference is that Huo Qubing's thousands of miles of attack is against the emptiness of the Xiongnu, and Xie AI is running for the alliance of the kings.
The kings will join the League at the former site of langju Xu mountain. Rouran Khan must gather heavy troops there to show off his force. The kings who go to the League must also take elite escort troops. It can be imagined how difficult it is to eat on the other side of langju Xu mountain.
Knowing that there are tigers in the mountain, we should have enough confidence. Xie AI's confidence is the cooperation of Ran min and the reinforcements promised by Liu Yan.
The person who made up his mind to carry out this thousand mile attack is ran min. according to him, if a thing is done, it is the great cause of capturing or killing multiple kings. If it is screwed up, it is impossible to lose some troops, and the risk can be ignored on the premise of too much profit.
Of course, ran min wouldn't tell anyone about those words. At Xie AI's oath when he led the army, ran min personally rushed to Hetao, which greatly boosted his morale. Speaking of the ancient saying, he mentioned those who had done things. More directly, everyone who participated in the thousands of miles of attack will keep his name in history. In addition to his reputation, he also got the excellent benefits before he set out.
There must be brave men under the heavy reward. Moreover, now it is the re emergence stage of the Han people after a series of tragedies. They will not lack bold and adventurous people. They are told that if they can complete the task, they will lay the foundation of the Han Empire, and history will be created by them.
Xie AI stood by and watched the cavalry pass by.
Each cavalry is three horses, two war horses and one pack horse. In addition to the necessary military equipment, they carry rations that can be used for seven days.
Those rations were only needed to prevent people from dispersing and looking for troops again. The troops would redistribute rations for another seven days every five days. The soldiers lamented that the military was well prepared, and the generals who could understand the inside story were more and more awed of their king.
When the troops entered the basin, the Rangers released earlier came back and changed shifts. There were Rangers and scouts around them day and night.
Before leaving the large army to carry out military affairs, the cavalry will hand over a broken green cloak (similar to camouflage) from the robe, which can effectively enhance the concealment.
The reason why they don't disguise as Hu people is that they can't disguise. There are no old, weak, women and children in such a large-scale army. They can't disguise as a migrating tribe. They won't look for trouble if they can avoid. There's really no way but to live without a mouth.
The grassland is very vast. The Hu people live by water and grass. It is doomed that they will not get together like the farming people. Each tribe lives far away. It takes two or three days to exchange information as soon as possible. Usually there is nothing to do and they will not cross the door. That is why Huo Qubing was able to attack thousands of miles without being found. In addition to good investigation, The tribes along the way have not been found in time, and they have long slipped away when they are found.
When Xie AI led his troops northward, there was no war before entering the Rouran mountains. According to the Hun guide, it was a little uncertain to cross the Rouran mountains. After all, the Huns had not been the Huns in the Western Han Dynasty for a long time, and the Huns had not been to the North of the Rouran mountains for hundreds of years.
There is no mistake. Among the Han Army, there were Xiongnu guides, some who had long taken refuge in the Han state for planning, and some who were found with the help of Liu. Before the Han army burst into the Rouran mountains, the facts proved that the guides were very reliable.
The Tuoba generation army withdrew from Yanmen, and ran min led the army into the southern part of Tuoba generation country. However, the war in the southern part of Tuoba generation country was only a harassing war, and the real area where the war broke out was Shuozhou.
The Shuozhou war was presided over by Li Tan, but Dingxiang was still under siege. The city that had been surrounded for two months was a stench. More than 200000 people were either killed or struggling in the city. There should be another 60000 or 70000 living people, including 230000 in the palace city.
No one knows how Shi Hu is recovering. It is a fact that Longteng guard has always adhered to the palace city. The Han side is not very interested in what Dingxiang palace city looks like. As long as the Han Army firmly encircles Dingxiang, it is willing to do it for ten years.
The chief General in charge of the siege of Dingxiang was replaced by Zhang Wen. He used to be the Minister of Shi Hu. Later, he served as the left General of the ran Qin State and is now a Lang General of the Han state. He commanded two standing armies and 170000 County soldiers to besiege Dingxiang. It was really just a siege. For the sake of insurance, he dug trenches and built earth walls outside the city. What he put forward was "if I don't go in, you don't want to come out".
Before the Han army arrived in Shuozhou, three of the seven Huns announced their cavalry response. The other three chose to continue to stand on Shi Jie's side, and the rest fled to the northwest into the territory of Zhang's Liang state.
The Han Army advancing into Shuozhou were two forbidden guards, three standing armies and nearly 80000 County soldiers. Li Tan's offensive was very rapid. At the beginning, he invested in the forbidden guards according to Liu Yan's direct instructions, regardless of losses and costs.
No one can stop the guards. They are the army that has never been afraid of death. No matter how bad the situation is, they will fight until the last person, and there is no possibility of desertion.
In fact, Li Tan was surprised why such an elite army should be allowed to fight regardless of loss. If it was well planned and clear, it could reduce the loss, but what Liu Yan wanted was to sweep, sweep regardless of cost, like what unpredictable risks would happen if he played very slowly.
In fact, Liu Yan has only one reason to sweep Shuozhou at any cost, that is, the troops need to be consumed before they can be re recruited. He had less investment in the forbidden guards before, in order to let those non systematic Han troops grow up in blood and fire. If he wanted to fight repeatedly, he would take the forbidden guards as the main force, and the non systematic Han troops without fighting would never grow up.
The country should be strong and must not rely solely on the systematic army, which Liu Yan knows in his heart.
Before Li Tan took over the attack on Shuozhou, Shi Xuan had fled to the clouds to meet the remnants of Shi Jie.
Shi bin, another Prince of Shi Jie, failed to escape. He played hide and seek for nearly a month and was bound by Qiang and di generals and sent to Li Kuang.
Before Shi bin was captured, Tuoba shiyijian retreated. His subordinates died, fled and fell. There were no more than 200 people around him, and more than half of them were Qiang and Di people. He wanted to stick to it, but the people under his hand were unwilling and didn't see any commitment from Li Kuang. The Qiang and Di people did it themselves in order to live.
For Murong Yanguo, Liu Yan personally arrived at the front line of Youzhou. As the main fighting force, he also joined the forbidden guards, and the rest of the troops became the starting point.
In that sentence, as long as Liu Yan is willing to join the forbidden guards, no one can stop them. The forbidden guards have no feelings or fear. They only know to accept Liu Yan's instructions. If Liu Yan has enough time to recruit again and again, which place Liu Yan wants to conquer will eventually be able to attack.
As soon as Liu Yan was ruthless, it took only three days to capture Zhuo County, which the standing army had not broken for half a month. Then he waved his troops to Guangyang, Liangxiang, Changxiang, anci and other cities, and spent seven days to wipe out Fanyang county.
In Youzhou, Liu Yan personally commanded the forbidden guards to wipe out Fanyang County, and the standing soldiers and some county soldiers broke into Daijun.
Murongyan had no psychological preparation at all. They thought that Fanyang County, which gathered heavy troops, should be able to stick to it for a small half a year. They really didn't want to be swept away in seven days.
Fanyang county was at the forefront of the friction between Youzhou and the Han army. Murong Yanguo had worked hard before. 140000 troops had not been stationed in seven days. The news had not been sent back to Longcheng, and Daijun was invaded again.
In the personal expedition, Liu Yan should always be able to achieve some results. Liu Yan spent seven days to prove his strength. The problem is that the forbidden guards in his hand are almost exhausted. After conquering Fanyang County, he just let the standing army continue to push North. When Murong Yanguo didn't respond, he pushed it to the city of Jicheng, and then he should stabilize the front.
During the war in Youzhou, LV Tai also led the multinational coalition forces to attack the east side of Murong Yan state.
The total strength of the multinational coalition force is 80000. It will be so small. It is because there were too many losses in the last battle of majushui. Koguryo really has no young people to supplement the source of troops. Baiji and Xinluo are willing to leave room. Only the vassal countries of the Japanese Islands try their best to supplement the source of troops.
It's strange to say that whether it's Koguryo, Baiji or Silla, they surrendered to the Han state for various reasons, but it's impossible to obey and cooperate in everything. It's the countries on the Japanese islands that are very interesting.
The countries on the Japanese islands have been competing since they surrendered to the Han state. They are crazy about learning from the culture of the Han state. It doesn't matter how they treat the patriarch of the Han state. What they show is that they kneel and lick completely, or that the Han state is indifferent. The Japanese islands have to stick it on when they die, which makes many Han officials embarrassed to bully.
Because Liu Yan's "no longer hiding clumsiness" is also out of real needs, the foreign national war of Han did not fall into decline because all countries wanted to unite. On the contrary, it was because the continuous outward promotion made the army and the people fall into a state of excitement.
When the Han Army entered Shuozhou, it seemed that Shi Jie and Zhao would soon be wiped out.
Liu Yan personally conquered Youzhou and won a county, which will soon be conquered on behalf of the county. The short time spent is shocking and unbelievable.
Murongyan not only collapsed in the south, but also fought with multinational coalition forces in the East. The two sides still fought near majushui, but this time LV Tai also brought a huge fleet. With the cooperation of land arms and fleets, murongge in the name of the God of war did not have a good way for a time. The war was in stalemate and consumption from the beginning.
In this situation, those who harbor evil intentions begin to hesitate, while others who have actually carried out riots are bitter in their hearts. Why don't they understand? Shouldn't it be the time when the Han country is in trouble and they can hop happily? How can there be such a big gap between reality and imagination!
Xie AI's headquarters, who had gone deep into the grassland, did not know much news. They went out of the Rouran mountains and continued to move eastward. The troops were just ready to set out. The scouts reported that there was a Rouran tribe approaching the mountains ahead.
To the east of the Rouran mountains is a plain. If Xie AI chooses to detour, he should detour more than a hundred miles. Everything is only because the plain has no line of sight and can be observed by the naked eye for tens of miles.
There should be nearly a thousand people in that tribe. From the appearance, they drove a large number of horses, cattle and sheep in a long queue.
Around, there's no place to go around. Stay where you are and wait to be found. Xie AI's last command is to make every effort to annihilate the Rouran tribe here.
At this moment, Xie AI is riding around the battlefield after the war, and there are corpses everywhere.
According to the captured prisoners, this is really a migrating Rouran tribe. They migrate southward from the anhou River (erhun River), and there are many migrating tribes behind.
Of course, it is impossible to take any prisoners with a thousand miles of attack. Xie AI ordered to kill all Rouran people, and it didn't take much time to clean up the battlefield. He just slaughtered some cattle and sheep with meat, but all the horses received them.
"To the East is the former site of Longcheng. To the east of Longcheng is a tributary of anhou River (Tula River). In the current season, the water level of the river will not be too high."
The dragon city was built by the Xianbei people on an old city site of the Xiongnu people. Later, the Xianbei people went south and were accepted by the Rouran people. At present, no one can tell what the situation is.
At this point, Xie AI knows very well, not to mention the Rouran tribe on the way of migration. Even if there is a sea of knife, mountain and fire in front of them, they should continue to move forward. They can come thousands of miles away from the former site of langjuxu mountain without being found. In fact, they have been unlucky.
[going forward, there should be a fight every three to five...] Xie AI is actually very nervous and guilty: [or should we try our best to avoid? Where is the reinforcements mentioned by the king?]
It is absolutely false to go deep into the enemy's territory, that is, whether it will be eroded by fear, or whether it will implement military affairs with perseverance.
Xie AI's troops continued to move eastward. Before approaching the former site of langjuxu mountain, they encountered seven tribes, large and small. They didn't know whether their whereabouts were known by the Rouran royal court. The only thing they knew was that there was no Rouran tribe to stop them in an organized way.
[is it deliberately letting go and setting a trap to wait?] Xie AI can feel the strong wind and his mind begins to drift: [at this point, he can't turn back!]
They... Are within 300 miles of langjuxu mountain!
