Nine hundred and sixteen oaths
After a night of celebration, everyone reinvigorated and disposed of the remnants of the night's eating and drinking.
The fireworks dispersed, the next morning, the day just dawned, the white horse Yicong and the state wolf riders have been lined up in turn, looking from a distance, the flag is waving, the queue is neat, people are like dragons, horses are like tigers.
Majestic-looking!
It is no exaggeration to say that just from the temperament, it can be seen that this army is a battle-hardened army!
The armor, which was originally soaked in red because of blood, was like a blooming rose, beautiful but full of murderous intent.
After these soldiers released their pressure, they were refreshed, and one by one they were full of fighting spirit, and they all raised their spirits, vowing to continue to hunt down the Xianbei Wuhuan dog.
While seeing Gao Zhi laughing for a while, he was also relieved, worthy of being the elite of his subordinates!
In fact, this is not the first large-scale confrontation and collision between Bingzhou Erlang and Xianbei Wuhuan.
As early as the sixth year of the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Xia Yushangshu, the captain of the current dynasty, asked for a crusade against Xianbei, and at the same time, Tian Yan, the captain of the Qiang Protector who was punished for his crimes, asked Emperor Ling to order him to crusade against Xianbei through Wang Fu, a regular servant, in order to atone for his crimes.
In August, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty plundered the border counties with Xianbei for many years, ordered Xia Yu, the captain of Wuhuan, to break the Xianbei Zhonglang General Tian Yan, and the Xiongnu Zhonglang General Zang Min each led more than 10,000 cavalry people, respectively, from Gaoliu, Yunzhong, and Yanmen County, and attacked Xianbei in three ways.
At that time, the army was mighty, the momentum was huge, the Han army was more than 2,000 miles away, and the Xianbei leader Tan Shihuai ordered the eastern, central and western three adults to lead the crowd to meet the battle, and defeated the Han army.
Because of the wrong command, coupled with the ambush of the Xianbei army, it led to a river of blood and heavy losses.
In that battle, seven or eight out of ten of the soldiers who went out of the Han Dynasty were killed, and only one percent came back alive, and since then several counties in the state have fallen!
Afterwards, Zang Min, Xia Yu, and Tian Yan were dismissed and dismissed as concubines, and after that, Xianbei's army became more prosperous, and they violated the Han border year after year.
In this regard, the frontier of the Han Dynasty is really infringed.
In fact, in terms of elite soldiers alone, Xianbei Wuhuan will definitely not be able to compete with the big men, but it is even more difficult to really annihilate them.
The reason why the Central Plains Dynasty repeatedly suffered losses against the grassland peoples in the north of the country was because the Han army's dependence on logistics was too strong, especially the military rations, once the rear could not provide enough food and grass support to the front-line army, then there was no need to fight, and the Han army itself would starve to death.
In contrast, those nomads who survive on horseback are very capable of surviving in the wild.
The nomadic army never had to carry much grain and grass to fight, and this vast steppe was their natural grain storehouse.
There is a proverb among the steppe tribes: The people who survive under the blessing of the great immortal heaven, as long as they have a bow and an arrow, they will not starve to death the real grass man!
This sentence is very illustrative of the current problem, and the Han army is indeed at a disadvantage in this regard.
Especially with the current means of transportation and transportation level, the cost of transporting military rations from the interior of the Central Plains to the grasslands outside the Saiwai is too high, so high that it is difficult for a strong empire to support.
At the beginning, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty launched the decisive battle of Mobei to expel the Xiongnu, and dispatched two major armies of Wei Qing and Huo Quai, with a total of 100,000 elite cavalry, and in order to transport supplies for them, the entire Han Dynasty invested 180,000 horses, 100,000 cattle, and 500,000 foot soldiers. Don't save one in a hundred!
Time-consuming and labor-intensive.
However, in comparison, the situation under Gao Zhi's command is okay now, whether it is a white horse or a wolf rider, they are all elite cavalry, and they have also dealt with foreign clans for many years, and they also know how to survive on the grassland.
In fact, there is food everywhere in this vast grassland, just to see if you can find it, and whether you can eat it in your mouth after finding it, or whether you dare to eat it in your mouth.
Not to mention anything else, Gao Zhi clearly remembered that the special forces of later generations could devour all living things, snakes, earthworms, grasshoppers, bats, all kinds of insects, ...... everything that could provide the energy needed by the human body was on their diets.
Bell's so-called "everything can be eaten" is also a kind of embodiment.
Shaking his head and retracting his thoughts, Gao Zhi ordered the whole army to be reorganized and prepared to leave, at this time, Lu Bu should almost come back from Si Li's direction, he needed to meet with him and hand over the matter of Youzhou.
Today's Gao Zhi's influence on this army has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, although the larger the army, the more difficult it is to command.
In the same way, taking back this large army is a great test of a general's command level.
However, in the hands of Gao Zhi now, he can already be called like an arm waving his fingers.
At this time, looking down from the sky, there are thin colored clouds on the canopy, and the fluttering temperament reflects the colorful clouds in the sky, coupled with the dense army, which makes people feel shocked.
With Gao Zhi's order, the officers and men of the whole army marched towards the vast prairie like arrows from the string.
Piles of sand and rivers of water will become a powerful force that cannot be ignored, and such a force is enough to reverse the current situation of merging states.
The iron hooves swept and accelerated forward, and the direction of the city was getting closer and closer, however, Gao Zhi's mood was not very good.
It's really all the way, there are too many tragic scenes around, and it can't be an exaggeration to describe it as a thousand miles away.
There were dead wood everywhere, a stream that was almost dry, and the sludge was mixed with rotten meat fermenting, and the pungent stench made the whole body shudder.
When passing through some villages, the whole village was empty.
Inside, buildings had collapsed, bones were littered, wheelbarrows were stumbling and badly burned, and half a handful of corn was moldy on it.
Even, on the field scattered with the remains of flies and maggots, everything seemed cold and desolate.
Obviously, it was a good thing that those Xianbei Wuhuan dogs did before.
Do the math, after a while, it was time for the Huns to ride fat and strong war horses, wield sharpened war knives, and plunder south!
The people of the frontier are really full of disasters and difficulties!
Seeing such a tragic situation, the wolf rode forward on horseback, looking indifferent, as if the tragedy in front of them had nothing to do with them.
They can get used to it, but Gao Zhi can't stand it.
Although he knows that many places in the entire Han Dynasty are poor for people, and the people have no food and no clothes to wear.
However, I still can't turn a blind eye to the scene in front of me.
At this moment, there is only one belief in his heart.
Kill all the foreigners, and return the state to a Langlang Qiankun, let the undead of the Han in this land see, and the state is recovered.
All people, all the Gentiles, will pay with their lives for what they have done.
Gao Zhi suddenly smiled, his smile was extremely bright, but his eyes were full of anger.
