Chapter 385: Grassland Alliance

With the departure of the other chiefs, there were only three men left in the king's tent, Wang Han, Temujin, and Zamuhe.

Seeing that there were only three of them, Temujin took the lead in asking Wang Han after looking at Zamuhe: "Father-in-law, is there anything else you can't tell them just now?" ”

Hearing this, Zamuhe also looked at Wang Han. Obviously, with the understanding of Wang Han between the two of them, he shouldn't have just said the origin of the enemy and didn't penetrate into anything else.

"Unless it's for fear of shaking the morale of the military." The two of them, who had been in the war for a long time, thought at the same time.

"Alas!" Seeing the expressions of Yizi Temujin and Zamuhe, who seemed to have guessed something, Wang Han sighed worriedly and said, "Three hundred thousand." ”

"What 300,000?" Temujin and the two said after a moment's loss. However, after the words were finished, both of them had their pupils constricted sharply, and their complexions changed suddenly.

After a long time, Temujin's voice was jerky and pale, and he said, "Is it an army of 300,000?" How can it be? ”

At this time, Temujin was not Genghis Khan, who unified the steppe after defeating many opponents, and naturally did not have the self-confidence to despise the world, and the army of 300,000 was an irresistible force for Temujin, who could only dispatch 350,000 horses and horses with all his strength to mobilize the tribal warriors under his command at this time.

Because of the vast terrain of the steppe, the war between the steppe tribes rarely appears in other means except for unexpected sneak attacks and battlefield commands, and in general, they are basically frontal, so the important factors affecting the victory of the war are the ability of the commander, the elite degree of the warriors under his command, and the number of people.

"Fortunately, there is a stepfather and Anda, otherwise my Mongolian tribe may have to migrate." Temu thought bitterly in his heart.

"How many of them are people?" Zamuhe's lips trembled as well, and he asked unwillingly: "I don't believe that they are all elite troops, and there is nothing on the grassland that can be worth the treasures of 300,000 elite troops." ”

Seeing the gaffe Temujin and Zamuhe, Wang Han did not blame them, but nodded and said: "Yes, the 300,000 army is indeed not all elite troops, but they also have no people. ”

Looking at the two people who were shining with divine light again, Wang Han said bitterly: "Lord Zhao has sent news that this devil army was sent by the king of a newly established country in the Western Regions. ”

"His purpose, first, is to solve domestic problems, so he first organized all the unstable young and middle-aged people in the country into an army and rushed to the grassland, so as not to affect his domestic arrangements."

"The second is to train the army for war, and at the same time to capture the herdsmen of the steppe as slaves to serve the new kingdom that is about to be built."

"They don't have people, all of them are warriors, half of them were cavalry when they first set out, but now they have destroyed countless tribes in the Mobei grassland, and they have definitely obtained a large number of horses, and now no one knows how many cavalry troops they have."

"Although the young and strong people pulled by the power of the whole country are numerous, they are just miscellaneous soldiers, not an elite army, with the joint efforts of our three parties and the dependence of other small and medium-sized tribes, this battle is not impossible to fight." Zamuhe said when he heard it.

"No, you don't know about the Western Regions, Zamuhe." Wang Han shook his head and said: "The land of the Western Regions is a place that is even more chaotic and cruel than our grassland, and we at least have tribal brothers here who can trust and support, but in the Western Regions, it is a place full of killing and blood. ”

"The young and strong people there are also warriors with blood on their hands, and like us steppe people, they are also warriors who can kill the enemy on horseback, maybe our military formation will be stronger than them, but the personal bravery of the soldiers may not be comparable, so don't underestimate them."

"Moreover, their new king is ready to lose most of it, as long as 300,000 people can bring back about 100,000, but are we ready?"

"Can we accept the loss of half of our warriors?"

"What then?" Wang Han's questioning made Temujin and the two unable to do anything for a while.

Originally, his own strength was much worse, and when he met a guy who knew that he could lose most of his subordinates, he would feel difficult for anyone.

Not to mention half of the loss, the loss of thirty percent is the bottom line in the hearts of the three of them, once it exceeds this number, it will really hurt the muscles and bones.

Anywhere, strength is status.

Nowhere is this more evident than in the real steppe. The tribal population and the wealth of the warriors, cattle, sheep and horses under his command are the most direct comparison of strength among the tribes on the grassland.

The reason why the three of them now have the qualifications to be looked up to by many tribes is because the tribe of the three is the largest nomadic tribe within a radius of thousands of miles, and even at the moment when Mobei is swept by the army of the devil in the Western Regions, except for the barbarian army in the east, the three can be said to be the strongest tribe on the grassland.

Although Wang Han and the three of them are now working closely and supporting together, and there is nothing dirty, if the tribes of the three of them lose most of them, it will only be swallowed up by other tribes together.

No one wants to take this risk, although everyone wants to be a hero, but after a good handful, they may have to nod to others, but the three people present are also unacceptable.

"Fight, it must be fought, we have no choice, people are coming for our grassland tribe." Liangjiu Temujin said in a deep voice: "As the three largest tribes today, even if we don't do it, they will definitely take the initiative to attack us. ”

"We can only take the initiative if we join forces."

"Temujin Anda is right, the fight must be fought, as for the loss, since it is unavoidable, then pull the tribes to bear it together, we can't all let the warriors of the three families fight." Zamuhe nodded in agreement.

"I also have this idea, since you have also agreed, then the three of us will put pressure on them to train their tribal warriors under our command, and unify the command in wartime, if we want to win together, we will lose together, so as not to be spied on afterwards." Wang Han nodded in agreement and said.

"It's a pity that Sun Khan's barbarian army is too far away from us, and the far water can't save the near fire, otherwise our four tribes will unite many small and medium-sized tribes, and the grasp will be much greater." Temujin said regretfully.

"Temujin, you are too naΓ―ve, that guy of Sun Khan is not like us, not to mention that he is far away in the sky, even if he is close at hand, you can accept his union, are you not afraid that he will take the opportunity to swallow us? Zamuhe scoffed.

"This, at this time of life and death, he won't be so unwise!" Temujin said stunned.

"Ha, that's because you don't know him, I once sent someone to contact Sun Khan, that is a guy who is arrogant and has no ambition, wisdom does not have a trace of him at all, if it is not for a good background, there is a foundation laid by his ancestors, that guy is a waste." Zamuhe said with a sneer.

"Okay, don't mention him, that guy is really not good, and we can't count on him anyway, let's hurry up and prepare ourselves!" Compared with the younger Temujin and Zamuhe, Wang Han, who was much older, had obviously come into contact with the barbarian armies in the east many times, and naturally knew more about their king, Sun Khan.

He knew that what Zamuhe said was right.

"Good father-in-law." Although Temujin did not come into contact with the barbarians in the east and the tribes of Sun Khan because of his distance and location, the judgment of his good brother and father-in-law also made him no longer have much hope for the barbarians.

Three days later, the combined pressure of the three of them and the threat of the external demon army made Wang Han and Temujin easily suppress the leaders of those small and medium-sized tribes, and successfully trained the warriors of each tribe under their command.

After temporarily reorganizing the warriors of the small and medium-sized tribes they depended on, Wang Han, Temujin, and Zamuhe each led their own armies to meet the demon army coming from the west.

At dusk, in Mobei, in a medium-sized grassland tribe that had just been conquered, the ghost Shura in the big tent listened to the whipping and screams outside one after another, while listening to the reports of his subordinates below.

"Lord Onishura, the head of the Wang Han tribe, Wang Han, together with his righteous son Temujin, the head of the Mongolian tribe, and the leader of the Zadaran tribe, Zamuhe, have integrated all the small and medium-sized tribes in the central steppe, and the combined army has come up to meet us."

"It's expected that we'll meet outside the day after tomorrow at the latest." In this combat operation against the grassland, Ouyang Ke did not send anyone over, including himself, who was just squatting in the Western Regions.

This time, all the operations were arranged by the Ghost Face Army, and the leader of the Ghost Face Army, Ghost Shura, was the commander-in-chief, and all actions were done by relying on the intelligence instructions of the Ghost Face Army.

Among the 300,000 troops, there is no main general or deputy general, only 300,000 partial generals, and when fighting, the Ghost Face Army provides intelligence, and then the number of people who respond to it can rush up and fight together.

Of course, before leaving, Ouyang Ke also explained some things to the ghost Shura, so he was not afraid of suffering any big losses.

In fact, there are only two ways to deal with it, and it is simple to the extreme.

According to Ouyang Ke's words, there is only one war strategy before half of his own people die, that is, the ghost face army first detects the approximate number of enemies, and then sends one or two more people than the other party to rush up directly, there is no strategy, there is nothing else, everything is frontal, just get to the other side and explode.

In a battle, unless the other side surrenders on his knees, he will fight to the death, and all those who surrender are enslaved and handed over to the soldiers who are not dead but wounded in the three battles and transported back to the Western Regions.

The second way is to let everyone divide their troops and adopt the tactics of horse thieves when their own number is less than 100,000, and the enemy will retreat if the enemy is strong, and bite the enemy like a pack of wolves.

In the early stage, it can be said that training soldiers and catching slaves are correct, and in the later stage, it is mainly based on catching slaves.

"Did you find out how many of them were? What was the route of the march. Ghost Shura said in a deep voice to the silver-faced Shura who was reporting in front of him.

"They're divided into left, center, and right! Relying on each other, the distance between them will not exceed 30 li, of which Wang Han's department has a total of 90,000 cavalry to take the middle road, 70,000 cavalry of Temujin's department is on the left road, and 70,000 cavalry of the Zamuhe department are also cavalry to take the right road. The silver-faced Shura replied in a deep voice.

"That's 230,000 troops." Ghost Shura said in a deep voice: "Have you gathered the strength of the entire central grassland!" ”

"It's a bit unexpectedly fast, but it's not surprising that they're united." Ghost Shura said in a deep voice: "Pass my order to inform all the generals of the 10,000 army, this time the enemy is divided into three parts, and of course we will also divide into three parts to meet them, and let them decide to come out and deal with that one by themselves." ”

"I want to know their answers before sunrise tomorrow."

"How do you arrange the number of people?" The silver-faced Shura asked in a deep voice.

"There should be more than 100,000 people on the middle road, no more than 11 teams, 70,000 horses on each of the other two roads, and 20,000 people on the rest to make a detour to sweep the entire central steppe and capture slaves."

"Now their tribal force is about to come to us, and the three major tribes may still follow a large number of clansmen to be responsible for logistics and other cattle and sheep, but those small and medium-sized tribes can't also let the old and weak women and children follow, they must still stay where they are and wait for news."

"Understood, Onishura-sama." The silver-faced Shura nodded and said, "The subordinates will arrange our own people to sweep the small and medium-sized tribes." ”

"Don't show any traces." Ghost Shura said meaningfully.

"Yes."

The next day, the camp was filled with gunpowder smoke and the flames of war, and countless men in black leather armor came out of their tents to prepare their breakfasts, while groups of heralds began to wander around passing orders from their superiors.

An hour later, the army of about 240,000 well-fed and well-fed demons divided into three routes, and rushed towards the east with a rumbling east, only thirty miles apart.

At the same time, the other two generals of the 10,000 armies also moved towards the northeast with their men, and along the way, the ghost-faced army patrolled the four directions with the scouting eagle, always ready for the army to bypass the enemy.

In front of the big tent, Ghost Shura looked coldly at the departing army, waved his hand behind him and said, "After sending this batch of slaves, you will rush back immediately, we still need more manpower to transport the slaves." ”

This is the fifth time that the ghost Shura has sent people to transport slaves back, and each time the transportation team is almost 5,000 people, transporting slaves ranging from 30,000 to 50,000.

However, so far, only three teams have returned, and seeing that the big war is imminent, whether it is won or lost, they will continue to have manpower, so Ghost Shura has to open his mouth to urge.

"Yes, sir." A man who looked like a Han man arched his hand and said.

Then, a demonic army of 5,000 cavalry, mostly wounded, pressed back to the west with more than 30,000 slaves.

Looking at the distant slave team, Oni Shura groaned for half a moment and then let his subordinates blow the rallying horn.

Under the low and howling horn of the bull's horn, all the tents of the Ghost Shura Tent were opened, and a soldier in black armor walked out of the tent in full armor and quickly assembled. 2k reading web
