Chapter 30 The Northern Army Crosses the River
With the mecha to ensure safety, Lin Shu didn't have to stay by the carriage all the time.
In his spare time, he also sat on the mecha to direct the training of the army.
Although he is not a great talent, he does not know any art of war formation. But having read thousands of ancient novels, he has also seen many methods of fighting cavalry and training methods of armies.
The king personally went out to supervise, and the lazy savage army had to cooperate fully.
Under the command and order of the giant mecha, more than 60,000 soldiers also completed their initial training a month later.
As the sun sets, the fire burns.
Tonight is not only a bonfire for the army, but also the eve of the attack.
Tomorrow, the army will be marched, and Lin Shu has once again scourged the few remaining cattle and sheep of the tribes. However, he is not worried, the millions of cattle, sheep and horses of the Donghu and other tribes will be theirs. At that time, I am afraid that the tribe will not have enough manpower and will not be able to manage it.
The moon god, who had gone to the other side to investigate, also rushed back. "Great King, the king of Donghu sent General Yimu to lead 70,000 cavalry to garrison at the foot of the Qinghei Mountain, fifty miles from the Heihe. Together with the 50,000 cavalry on the south bank, the Donghu army has a total of 120,000, all of which are one horse and two horses, and some of the elites are one person and three horses. ”
"It seems that they are planning a decisive battle with our army on the plains! This is just right, too. Lin Shu originally thought that there were only 100,000 people, and it seems that King Donghu is not so stupid.
The startled salamander also smiled and nodded, "That's great!" The Huns are also gathering 50,000 cavalry on the southern border of Beihai Lake, and when these Donghu people are eliminated, the Huns will not dare to act rashly. ”
Now that spring has just begun, the Huns are also busy grazing and looking for food, and there is no threat for a while.
And the Donghu people can't help it, seeing that the savage army on the north bank of the Heijiang River is training every day, they can't fight if they want to.
The Donghu tribes are also an alliance composed of many different tribes, with a population of more than 500,000, most of which are other tribes, and there are more than 100,000 Buyeo alone.
If the snow army is allowed to enter the territory of Donghu, I am afraid that many tribes will also rebel. Just like in history, after the main force of the Donghu royal army was defeated, the rest of the tribes also surrendered to the Xiongnu Mao Dunshan Yu in the blink of an eye.
It was not until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty expelled the Xiongnu that the Xianbei Wuheng Fuyu Sudian of the Donghu tribes got rid of the rule of the Xiongnu Kingdom.
"Sooner or later, we have to clean up the Huns, let them jump for a while!" After eliminating Donghu, Lin Shu also had to stop, and the territory was too vast and difficult to manage in place.
The prairie is even more vast, and at least until a bumper harvest of potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, etc., will there be sufficient military rations to go to war.
"Great King, it is not difficult to defeat them, but if you are afraid that they will flee, it is best to send some cavalry to prevent them from crossing the river and escaping." The moon god also took out a minimap and pointed to the river behind the plains.
Nowadays, there is not much water in the river, especially some shallow sand and gravel beaches, and the cavalry can cross them directly.
Lin Shu thought for a moment and said, "In this case, tomorrow, Xiaoyue Shao Xuanjian, you will take 10,000 cavalry to bypass and block their back road." ”
"But don't hold it up."
"Honoring the King." Xuan Qian, who was quiet on the side, immediately took the order, and the two Black Tiger Mecha could already threaten him, even as the number one master under the Northern Throne, he didn't dare to be too arrogant.
In addition, Xuan Jian and his wife have four Black Tiger mechas, and the moon god is not worried that 10,000 cavalry is too little.
The second-generation Black Tiger mecha is three meters tall and six meters long, equipped with a three-meter-long tiger tail chain knife, and a machine gun and a machine cannon. Invulnerable, fearless of ordinary bed crossbows, it is simply a tank in a field group battle.
Although there is a shortage of manpower, Lin Shu has no intention of letting Xuanqian's wife Wei Qianqian go to war, but Wei Qianqian is an active young woman.
After the Black Tiger mecha was manufactured, the previous mecha was also returned to the furnace by Lin Shu. It's not that he doesn't want to give Haron them, but he doesn't want his first mech to be ridden by someone else. Especially the mecha that the salamander has ridden, how can it be given to others! It's useless to keep it, so I have to return to the furnace to become a material.
The next day, the 60,000-strong army crossed the river from the wooden bridge that suddenly appeared, while the six Black Tiger mechs crossed the river directly from the water.
It didn't take long for 20,000 cavalry to cross the river, and at this time the nearby 20,000 Donghu cavalry were ready to approach.
The 50,000 cavalry of Donghu were distributed on the 30-kilometer bank of the river in order to prevent the northern army from crossing the river.
The water in the Heijiang River is so deep that even a mecha has to walk slowly from the bottom of the water, and it is impossible for a wild man who does not have access to water to swim through.
Knowing that the Northern Army had moved, the Donghu Army was not too anxious, after all, it was not so easy to cross the river.
"Report, the 20,000 cavalry of the Northern Army have crossed the Heijiang River."
Qi Shan was startled, and then scolded angrily, "Bastard, didn't you wake up, get out of me." ”
"Hmph, nonsense! 20,000 cavalry have crossed the river, you think they will fly! One of the Commanders scolded angrily.
The little leader smiled bitterly and bowed his head, and he didn't dare to say more, lest he be hacked to death!
Although he didn't believe it, Qi Shan also ordered the 20,000 cavalry to speed up.
"General Qi, most of the Northern Army has crossed the river, let's withdraw first!"
This time Qi Shan believed it, because this is his son-in-law! It is also the head of the clan that he does not dare to offend.
Glancing at the vague but dense cavalry in the distance, Yishan also immediately shouted: "Withdraw!" Let's withdraw first! Order all the divisions to return to General Imu to converge! ”
The 20,000 Donghu cavalry soon disappeared on the horizon, and the northern army seemed to have not seen it.
As soon as the Donghu cavalry walked away, the moon god had four black tiger mechas, and he also led 10,000 cavalry south along the river.
There were no enemies nearby, and the mecha of Xuan Jian and his wife were very close, and even the bridge was ajar.
After walking for a while, 15-year-old Wei Qianqian chatted with his uncle.
It is said that uncle loves Lori, and it is precisely because of this interesting Lori that he captured Uncle Xuanjian's heart.
"Shouldn't we go after them first!"
Xuan Jian didn't say much, and said with a smile, "I guess the king doesn't look down on them." ”
"Hehe, it's only 20,000 people. Maybe it's not as powerful as my black tiger. After experiencing the two interceptions and killings of the net, Qianqian also understands the importance of force. She fell in love with Uncle Xuanjian, perhaps because of his chic light skills!
The north is desolate and boring, and she has no choice but to join the king's group, otherwise this little young woman will not be idle!
With nothing to do, the moon god also turned back to give Xuan Jian some hints. "General Xuanjian, the king not only wants to conquer the bodies of the various tribes of the desert, but also their hearts, and the king is also in urgent need of population now."
The moon god didn't know why the king would pay attention to these ignorant savages, and even the wounded soldiers had to be treated!
"Thank you Moon National Master for your doubts!" The moon god may also be a princess in the future, and Xuan Jian will also give enough face.
Qianqian nodded knowingly, "The king is really kind-hearted, no wonder he wants us to bring so many potions and gauze." ”
The potion is alcohol, of course, not made from grain, but extracted from grass leaf plants. These industrial alcohols are toxic even when mixed with water, but they can disinfect and sterilize wounds. The bandaged gauze is made of plant fibers such as tree bark.
Kindness! The moon god nodded and smiled, and said no more!
Kindness! Xuan Jian smiled bitterly and shook his head! He hadn't forgotten his desperate look, the hundred Assassins had surrendered, but in the end they had also turned into air!
She didn't speak along the way, and the next big battle made her a little embarrassed, not to mention the horror of the black tiger's hands, but whenever she touched the black tiger, the bronze chariot would have to be broken!
