Chapter 480: Tuoba Hao
After learning of the fall of Qinhaidu, Tuoba Banner led 80,000 elites, and also made a decision immediately, surrounded by a large number of livestock and slaves, and went directly to the northeast of Yaoshan. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, the Iron Cliff Army and the Tuoba Army slowly moved north across a twenty or thirty meter-wide river, and Chen Hai sat in the double-wheel copper car, and he could clearly see the mixed frustration, despair, and anger on the faces of the cavalry generals on the left wing of the Tuoba Army.
From time to time, the Iron Kun will arrange elite sentry cavalry to directly wade through the river less than two meters deep, go to the opposite bank to harass the opponent's flank, and when the opponent's flank wants to organize a counterattack, it will withdraw the sentry cavalry, so as to constantly harass and exhaust the enemy army, slow down the enemy's march, and increase their consumption.
The trapped beast is still fighting, not to mention that the Iron Cliff army does not have an absolute advantage, once there are huge casualties, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in Yaoshan, since their side has an advantage, and the enemy army has no way to cross the Tong River to escape for a while, then it should be dragged until the enemy army is out of food, dragged until the enemy army is desperate and weak to the extreme, and then give a fatal blow.
This kind of tactical arrangement is undoubtedly the most correct, but Qi Hanjiang felt that the days were about to fade out, and the imperial cavalry followed the side of the Shuangyuan copper car, and asked Chen Hai impatiently: "The two armies are going down slowly, when will it be the end!"
"Three hundred miles away from the mouth of the Tong River, there is a hilly area, formerly known as Hailing Plain, there are about two hundred miles in a square area, the terrain is quite steep, and it is close to the Tong River. There, even if there is no way to cross the river for a while, it is not so difficult to transport grain and grass through a river twenty or thirty miles wide on the side of Baishui City. The main thing is that it is already the middle of May, and in another four or five months, the mouth of the Tong River will be frozen. At that time, whether they withdraw to Baishui City, or join forces with Baishuihe's reinforcements, and eat us in turn, they will not be as passive as they are now......" Chen Hai analyzed the possible intentions of the Tuoba Department to Qi Hanjiang.
"Eat us, I don't know if we'll swallow them to death," Qi Hanjiang smiled, yawned, and said, "I said master, or let's transfer dozens of heavy crossbows from Yucheng Ridge, pull them down after this battle, and then consume them, and if you can't fight or kill, it's boring." ”
"......" Chen Hai stood up and looked far to the northwest, crossing the Hanhai, where the Blackstone Khanate had risen.
At this time, he did not directly show the banner of the Longxiang camp in Yaoshan, in addition to worrying about the reaction of Yanjing City and the lords, he was more worried about the reaction of the Black Stone Khanate.
Once it is confirmed that the Longxiang battalion is leading the battle behind the scenes, will the Black Rock City side stand up fiercely and unite with the Tuoba Department and other barbarian tribes to expel them from Yaoshan along with the Iron Cliff Tribe?
War is complicated enough, and the situation outside the war is more complex than the war itself.
Now that he has been able to control the course of the war, there is no need to completely muddy the situation, and it may not be beneficial if he is not able to see the development of the situation clearly.
Of course, directly transferring the crossbow battalion to participate in the battle was one of Chen Hai's early choices, but the current situation has exceeded his original expectations.
His current purpose is not only to open up a northern transportation channel between the Elite Capital Protectorate and Yucheng Ridge, but to help the Iron Cliff Department to absorb the large and small barbarian forces within a radius of two or three thousand miles around Yaoshan, and establish a real barbarian khanate that is infiltrated and influenced by the Heavenly Machine Academy, and when the Blood Demon Tribulation breaks out in the future, it will directly become the main force to resist the Rakshasa Blood Demon.
As for the 80,000 horses of Tuoba Banner, whether they will flee directly in the end, Chen Hai doesn't care, he mainly takes advantage of the high-pressure situation formed by the current war to help Tie Kun to integrate the forces of the Mengwu tribes in Yaoshan, and at the same time forcefully orders Qinhaidu to the vicinity of Yaoshan, all the way to the west of Yaoshan, the large and small barbarian forces in this large area are attached to the Iron Cliff Department......
Now that he could judge that Tuoba Banner was heading for Hailing Plain, Chen Hai asked Qi Hanjiang to go over and invite Tie Kun over.
At this time, in addition to the silver stone beach at the southeast foothills, the Iron Cliff Department can also build a city at the northeast foot of Yaoshan Mountain. This city was nominally used as a transit base for future grain transportation to the Hailingyuan frontline camp, but in fact, the Iron Cliff Department also built two or three more fortified cities around Yaoshan Mountain, and ordered the nearby tribes to gather in these cities, so that the Iron Cliff Department could truly control these tribes and become the third khanate force on the Hanhai grassland.
******************
From Yaoshan to the northeast, crossing the Tong River, more than 5,000 miles away, there is a place where water and grass are extremely abundant, dozens of large and small rivers crisscross and crisscross, converge into a lake with a radius of 100 miles. Due to the large number of rivers, this lake rarely floods, so it is called Dingbo Lake by the demons.
The imposing Whitewater City is located on the southwest side of Dingbo Lake. The establishment of Whitewater City can be said to have had many twists and turns. At that time, the old patriarch of the Tuoba tribe, Tuoba Hao, even failed to fight the court of the Kereh tribe, regardless of the dissuasion of everyone, and resolutely promoted the construction of Baishui City.
In the Hanhai grassland, most of the tribes lived by water and grass, and the construction of the city was undoubtedly a fantasy for the Tuoba Department, which had only tens of thousands of people at that time and only five or six small tribes under its command, and it was undoubtedly a provocation to the Kereh Department, the overlord of the Hanhai Eastern Plains at that time.
However, Tuoba Hao insisted on going his own way, and after choosing the city site, he brazenly began to build the city.
From the moment the first brick was laid, the shores of Dingbo Lake were plunged into a bloody storm for twenty years, and almost the entire tribe of Hanhai Dongyuan was involved in this war.
By the time the Kereh tribe finally recognized that Baishui City was not capable of being trapped, and the two sides ended the protracted war by marriage, the Tuoba tribe had grown to a large clan with 500,000 or 600,000 people and 40 or 50 vassals of large and small tribes.
Tuoba Hao is getting older, the strong man who was infinitely close to the heavenly barbarians in the past, more than 100 years of crisscrossing the eastern plains of the Hanhai Sea, can cross the most important pass, after the peak period, the cultivation is a little retreating, it is almost impossible to cultivate the Taoist fetus in this life, he slowly delegated the responsibility of the east and west to the most dazzling sister-in-law Tuoba Qi.
Tuoba Banner also did not live up to his expectations at all, in the hands of Tuoba Banner, Tuoba Banner is still growing day by day, Tuoba Banner himself, in the grinding day by day, has long been cultivated 30 years ago, towards the heavenly barbarian.
Due to the absence of the existence of the Heavenly Rank Master, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream for the Tuoba Department to establish a khanate based on Baishui City, but if there is a large array to protect the royal city, it is another matter.
This Yaoshan mutation can be said to have given the Tuoba Department a shot in the arm, and what makes people even more excited is that Mu Hao, the biggest dependent of the Black Stone Khanate, was also seriously injured, such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity made the Tuoba Department overjoyed, so he decided to take the underground palace array in his hands at all costs.
However, the development of the war was really beyond their expectations, although Mu Hao was indeed seriously injured, and the Black Stone Khanate fell into internal strife and had no time to take care of it, but the Iron Cliff Department dealt a head-on blow to the Tuoba Department at a critical moment, and made them thoroughly understand what it means to be impermanent.
Dingbo Hall is named after Dingbo Lake, which takes the meaning of Tuoba Hao's efforts to turn the tide on the shore of Dingbo Lake and calm all the turmoil in the east of Hanhai in one fell swoop.
Its shape is rectangular, 300 steps long, 100 steps wide, supported by 40 stone pillars with a radius of two meters and more than six zhang high, the stone pillars are rarely carved with the major battles of the battle of Baishui City, although rough, but between the eyebrows are also lifelike.
Early this morning, the heavy door was slammed open, and Tuoba Hao entered with several guards holding his head high, sitting on a wide chair, closing his eyes and pondering.
The patriarchs of the tribes then walked in, and they were all taken aback when they saw Tuoba Hao dressed in armor and holding two dark iron halberds across his knees.
You know, since Tuoba Hao handed over all the military affairs to Tuoba Banner twenty years ago, he has never put on armor in front of people, and everyone thinks in their hearts, is the old patriarch going to personally lead his troops to the west this time?
These patriarchs naturally have their own news channels, and they have all heard about the fall of Qinhai Ferry, and they know how critical the situation is, and they also know that the old patriarch Tuoba Hao convened the clans this time to transfer troops, horses, and cattle from the clans again to reinforce the Zongzi Tuoba Banner, but Qinhaidu has fallen, even if all the tribes are willing to send troops and food, how can this battle be fought?
Everyone looked at each other, seeing that the old patriarch Tuoba Hao was wearing battle armor, but he was on the throne with his eyes closed, and for a while, although more than 20 generals gathered in the main hall, it was extremely quiet.
After a while, there was a rush of footsteps outside the hall, a more than two meters high, hideous face but Yanzhou people wearing a brocade armor of the barbarian general hurriedly stepped into the hall, he saw the old patriarch Tuoba Hao on the main hall closed his eyes to recuperate, he wanted to quietly squeeze into a line of troops.
Tuoba Hao's eyes suddenly widened with rage, and the two dark iron halberds across his knees burst out like angry dragons, and swept towards the brocade armor barbarian.
When the Jinjia barbarian general reacted, two dark iron halberds had already pierced through his chest, nailing his entire huge body to the stone wall of the Dingbo Palace.
The Jinjia barbarian didn't say a word, his body twitched twice and swallowed directly, but he didn't blink his eyes, even if the giant eyes like copper bells were dead, he still stared at the old patriarch Tuoba Hao, and he didn't understand why the old patriarch Tuoba Hao killed him until he died.
"The battle ahead has reached the point of life and death, and we are anxious to gather soldiers, horses, and grain to go to reinforcements, Yuan Peng delays the military plane, and there is no ...... to die" Tuoba Hao slowly announced the crime of the Jinjia barbarian general in a hoarse voice at this time, and slowly looked at the leaders of the tribes gathered in the hall, and his eyes were full of murder......
