The leader of the beggar tribe, the beggar neighbor, was a staunch reinforcement faction, and the bald man had always been unassertive, and in the end it was the beggar who prevailed.

The topic of discussion at the conference changed from whether to increase the number of troops to how many troops to increase.

They didn't know that a powerful Han cavalry, just like the ancestors of the Han people, came across the desert Gobi.

Zhao Yun led the army to march on the endless Gobi, and the flat Gobi Desert was very suitable for cavalry marching.

Groups of neat Han cavalry, thousands of horses galloping, from time to time there were bursts of slogans and horns, and the pride was dry.

After these days of continuous marching, judging by the map, they have approached their destination, the steppe of the West Sea.

I have seen the winding Ganwei River ahead, according to the guide, as long as you follow the Ganwei River to the west, you can go directly to the royal court of the Xianbei people.

The royal courts of the beggars and the bald tribes are on the west coast, one east and one west, living next to each other, and the main tribes of the two major tribes live here.

According to the intelligence department, the two major tribes have at least 80,000 to 100,000 tents in this grassland, which means that at least 500,000 to 600,000 people live here.

In terms of the combat effectiveness of the nomads, with a population of 600,000, there are at least 60,000 to 80,000 people who control the strings, which is equivalent to their own military strength.

The experienced 2nd Cavalry Division and the Xiongnu Servant Army opened the way in front of the expeditionary force, while the newly formed 8th Cavalry Division and the Xianbei Servant Army followed behind them.

Especially the Xianbei Servant Army, this was the first time they assisted the Central Army in the battle after they surrendered to Lu Bu, and Zhao Yun couldn't fully trust them.

Therefore, the Eighth Cavalry Division also had the task of monitoring them, and the lead was to swear to Zhao Yun to ensure that his subordinates would not drop the chain.

Finally, when there were still 100 miles away from the Xihai grassland, the scout team of the Han army who opened the way encountered the Xianbei ranger sentries and engaged in a fierce battle.

Although the scouts of the Han army, that is, the reconnaissance company of the 2nd Cavalry Division, won a complete victory, the secret outpost of the Xianbei people still managed to escape back to the royal court and sent back the news of the arrival of the Han army.

The high-level leaders of the two major tribes who were meeting and discussing were greatly shaken, and they did not expect that the Han people were so ambitious that they would cross the Gobi Desert to attack their nest.

However, the martial nature of the Xianbei people has long been integrated into their bloodline, although when they held a meeting to discuss sending troops to the Western Regions, they were grinding one by one, but when they defended their homeland, their reaction was fast.

No matter how many Han troops came, they had to defend their royal court, and the beggar and bald Pigu immediately issued a general mobilization order.

All the men of the two tribes who could take up arms and fight, regardless of their age, were to assemble at the royal court, and all the old and weak women and children were to move north.

Nomads have long been accustomed to this kind of life, so such emergencies only cause them temporary chaos, and they will soon be able to cope with them.

All the Xianbei men took up arms and put on the armor left by their fathers, whether it was iron, bronze, or leather, and the armor was enough to prove that the ancestors of the family were high-ranking samurai.

Many times the slaves they had captured or forcibly recruited were also given rudimentary weapons, which were useless to use as cannon fodder.

The Xianbei people are semi-military in their daily lives, and the nobles themselves are ten thousand commanders, thousand commanders, and centurions, so they can easily gather and master their respective armies.

Then, a team of 100 people and a team of 1,000 people of Xianbei people gathered on the prairie in front of the royal court.

The sentinel rangers sent by the Xianbei people constantly encountered the scout troops of the Han army, and there were continuous fierce battles on a small scale.

Because they were never able to defeat the scouts of the Han army and could not get close to Zhao Yun's own team, the beggar neighbors were never able to get the exact number of the Han army.

However, when all the Xianbei people were gathered, there were as many as 200,000 cavalry, and the high-level Xianbei people such as Begging and Youlin suddenly felt that their waists were stiffer.

The Han people came from afar, and they were all cavalry, and tens of thousands of people could survive to death.

I have to teach these Han people a good lesson, let them know that the grassland is still the world of nomads, and the Han people are only suitable for farming at home, and the skills of riding horses and fighting wars have to be learned for a few hundred years.

In the Battle of Liangcheng more than ten years ago, when he was still young, his father only brought 5,000 people to deal with Helian, and he didn't really contribute to the fight, so he didn't feel the combat power of the Han army.

Moreover, at that time, it was the legendary extremely powerful Han infantry that defeated Helian and Kebineng and Budugen, and when the cavalry led by Lu Bu appeared, the Xianbei people in the west had already fled.

The two sides did not really fight each other, and the beggar Fu Youlin looked down on the old-timers such as Kebineng and Budugen, thinking that they were old and had lost the brave spirit of the Xianbei people, so they would fight with the Han people and lose them repeatedly.

The real battle between the Xianbei and the Han army in the west was in the Western Regions in the past two years, and the Xianbei people who had the advantage in numbers did not suffer losses, and they won and lost each other.

The defeat of Beggowloy's Golden Mancheng, because after Beggrowi was captured, it was not redeemed by the clansmen, so the specific reason for the defeat was not known to Beggar Yulin and others.

This is the state of the Xianbei people in the west before they fought with Zhao Yun's army, despising the enemy, arrogant, and arrogant.

Think about it, the more than 200,000 Xianbei cavalry are really all over the mountains and fields, boundless.

Zhao Yun saw that he had been discovered by the Xianbei people, so he was no longer in a hurry, but slowly moved forward.

Especially after occupying a rare large soil slope on the grassland, the advance was stopped, and the whole army rested in place, waiting for the Xianbei people to attack.

And the busiest thing is the mysterious army brought by Pei Yuanshao, first of all, the two infantry battalions in charge of guarding have formed two cordons on the periphery, and one by one the bows are wound out of the sheath.

Then the sappers of the Engineer Regiment dug and leveled a very large flat area in the area surrounded by the cordon, that is, at the very front of the cavalry phalanx.

And with the hard sapper shovel and stone grinding, it is difficult for the engineer regiment to run such a long way with the big stone grinder.

Then came the most mysterious men, who carried the wooden boxes on horseback to the edge of the field, and there were many boxes, which they carried with care.

After Zhao Yun finished the formation of the legion, he came to the edge of the field to watch them busy, and this mysterious force that kept it secret from him was finally going to unveil them today.

When the wooden box was opened, there were many metal cylindrical objects of different sizes and thicknesses, and it was impossible to tell whether they were steel or iron, and they did not look like bronze anyway.

They skillfully assembled these metal components, and Zhao Yun felt familiar, isn't this the salute that once appeared during the military parade in Chang'an

The fireworks bomb that hits the sky at night is very beautiful and unforgettable, and now it is used to fight
