The beautiful county that Hou Cheng and others are going to is the most special county in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Most of his territory has become a gathering place for the Qiang tribes, the number of Han Chinese is relatively small, and various forms of armed conflict occur within the territory. The law and order situation was so bad that the Taishou of a county could not work locally, so he had to move to the neighboring Fengyi County.

This has been the case for 42 years, and it will take another four years in the original history before the seat of the Northland County can begin their journey home, but their return process did not go smoothly under the influence of various factors such as the Yellow Turban Uprising, and by the time they reached Pengyang County, they no longer had enough funds to sustain this operation. Later, the war continued, and the border was frequently harassed by foreigners, so they had to migrate to the southwest, and finally settled in Huaide, Shanxi, which is now Fuping County.

Before the purge, Fuping County was nominally the seat of Beidi County, located near Wuzhong in Ningxia in the 21st century.

That is the destination of Hou Cheng and others.

Although these two places are not even a finger's distance on the map, in reality it takes nearly half a month to feel it. If he walked over on just two legs, then Hou Cheng's physical reserves, who had not yet reached the peak, would probably only die of exhaustion on the way.

Fortunately, there is a batch of war horses in Hanyang County that need to be transported to the front. They took on this task, and since then, one of the few dragoons in the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty was born. In the Northern Song Dynasty, it was called the Youma Bu people, and in the 21st century, it was called the motorized infantry division.

It is for this reason that Suning calls this newly formed recruit unit the First Motorized Infantry Division. Because the natives and most of the summoners in the late Eastern Han Dynasty did not know much about motorization, and their number of people far exceeded the standard of bringing a division on Friday, their unit was later renamed the first column.

After the dust settled on the name, they also happened to arrive at the designated area. This is where the navy stores grain and grass, and it is also the place where the Xianbei people are likely to focus on attacking next.

Suning's former enemy headquarters was built here. For some words that will be used in later generations, Suning obviously does not have the same scruples as other time-travelers, he boldly spread the wings of bad taste, so that those words with the characteristics of the times have traveled through thousands of years to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty in the second century AD.

In fact, he wants to make those things with the characteristics of the times try to change the color of the late Eastern Han Dynasty. He wished that the current era would be brought into the orbit of modernization earlier, but unfortunately, this was only a manifestation of a beautiful hope, and could not actually promote the progress of any productive forces and science and technology.

Even raising the morale of his subordinates did not have an immediate effect. On the contrary, it made those soldiers even more unfamiliar with the command system that they were not very familiar with.

However, the opponent they faced did not have a mature command system to speak of, and the latest information from the scouts showed that half of the Xianbei people who had entered and exited Liangzhou had already set this place as their next target.

If the current situation is drawn on the map, then from west to east, there are seven or eight fan-like troops and horses distributed from west to east in this camp.

They all acted extremely quickly, and it seemed that they had already detected Suning's whereabouts.

Suning has no doubts about their reconnaissance ability, not to mention that their servants are also elites who have been trained on the grassland battlefield for a long time, just the chaos of Beidi County for more than 40 years is enough for them to calmly arrange all kinds of eyeliner.

He is a newcomer, and in terms of reconnaissance ability, he obviously cannot compete with the enemy PK that has been operating for more than 40 years.

Fortunately, he was not prepared to attack the enemy's strengths with his own shortcomings. No, he had put on a posture of all-out defense, and brought the old and weak women and children of the Black Tower tribe close to the photo camp.

The reason why they did this was because Black Tea had already led the elite of the tribe to leave their grazing land and carry out the task assigned to them by Zong Ning.

As the best reward for the center's summer vacation, Suning is ready to go all out to protect their family, believing that after this adventure of life and death, the trust between them will reach a higher level.

Of course, the premise of all this is that they can escape from the iron hooves of the Xianbei people.

Most of the cavalry troops in Suning's hands have already been scattered to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and the other soldiers and horses in the Beidi County camp are naturally in the hands of Huangfu Song. The two of them are currently allies, and Suning certainly won't point fingers in front of the old-timers.

In fact, the main force of this defensive battle is not her Suning department, and his task is also clearly shown in front of everyone, that is, to take care of the grain and grass they need for Huangfu Song's department.

Then Suning was cautious, he didn't want to play a supporting role in his first foreign battle. So he bought food with great fanfare, for fear that the enemy spies would not be able to find the location of his camp.

It was after that contrivance that he successfully became a thorn in the eyes of the Xianbei people. An old fox like Tanshi Huai, after more than 30 years of bloody battles against the Han Dynasty, naturally knew that the fragile logistics supply line was the biggest weakness of the Han Dynasty's army.

And this young Suning didn't even have the heart to hide the supply line. This obviously created a great opportunity for him. After all, that young man is still too young, and it is inevitable that there will be such a serious negligence.

As a result, Suning successfully attracted the key care of Tanshi Huai in this underestimated situation.

On the fourth day after Hou Cheng and others entered this camp, two groups of cavalry took the lead and launched a tentative attack on this camp.

Suning summoned all the scouts from the north and threw them into the depths of the south. Since the area should soon be under siege - although the enemy is from the north, Suning can't hope that the north wind has blown them into fools. When besieging the fortified camp, they didn't know that it was the most reasonable plan for me to attack together and cut off his contact with the outside world - so Suning instructed them that if they lost contact with the British, they would pass on the important information they had obtained to Huangfu Song, and if they couldn't see Huangfu Song either, then simply bring it back to Hanyang County.

Hanyang-gun is the source of all hope, and there must be no room for failure.

So the cavalry left with Suning's instructions. The other soldiers who remained in the camp had another problem to face.

In the front line, Huangfu Song's department, in the big camp, currently has only ten days of grain and grass. And it will take about five or six days for the boy to rush to the place where Huangfu Song is stationed, that is to say, if the grain and grass are to be sent out of the camp safely, Suning must solve the oncoming enemy in a shorter time. Through a simple subtraction, Suning got the answer to this little question. He and his soldiers had only four or five days to complete this difficult task.

Fortunately, I wish you are not unprepared for this, and he also has a few gifts to give to the Xianbei people who have come from afar, so as to comfort them for their hard work of traveling long distances.

Find the first gift, the name of the English Longbow. King Alfred had now led the warriors from Lijing County to climb the mound piled up in the camp.

The range of the infantry bow was already beyond that of the riding bow, not to mention that they were still condescending, even if the earth's gravity was very fierce, it would take some time for their ships to fall to the ground, and in these hours it would be enough for their bows and arrows to fly far away, to reach the Xianbei cavalry that was surging towards them.

As a result, the two cavalry each paid nearly 1/4 of the casualties before they could rush to the outer defense line of the camp.

However, there is another gift here, and his name is the Hook Scythe.

Suning doesn't remember when this weapon appeared in Chinese history, and perhaps the deepest impression left on him by this thing should be the weapon commonly used by Hu Yanzhuo in the Water Margin. Of course, in any case, for cavalry, the biggest weakness is the facing part of the horse, which is extremely difficult to protect, not only can the weapons in the hand not take care of it, but even if the horse is armoured, it is impossible to increase the burden of the horse's movement on the horse's legs.

So, these girls stretched out from the cracks in the fence of the camp, and made the Xianbei war horses that rushed towards them or passed them their main target.

So one by one, the excellent riders who came to their own tribes, such a drunken horse rich merchant, and some were easily crushed by the companions who rushed up behind them.

Then there was a burst of screams, one after another, outside the fence. King Alfred stood on the mound and admired with great interest the strange scenery of the eastern battlefield.

He was summoned from the list after Suning came here. Others may not have obvious feelings about Suning's list order summoning plan, but he is aware of the potential for fierce competition.

Before him, there were several ancient monarchs with the same alphabet in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, most of them participated in this war as cavalry generals, and most of them were now following around Huangfu Song, actively resisting the invasion from the northern barbarians, and then as one of the barbarians, the Anglo-Saxon leaders who had seen Hadrian's Wall, he knew that the biggest threat to the empire in the south was its own decay.

For a person like Suning who is interested in innovation, the military exploits from the north are just a weight to increase his prestige, and all he has to do is to be above one person in the court and ten thousand people. In this way, it will be convenient for him to carry out reforms.

Or, he said, someone could also lose the position of consul of the Roman Empire and press titles such as Octavian and Caesar on his head, but that was not his ultimate goal, and that was his dream to change the decay of this empire.

The most important thing for such a person is not to achieve military merits on the battlefield, but to constantly make suggestions and suggestions on the road of reform in the future.

It's a pity that he Alfred, although he once held the title of consul of the Roman Empire, his ability to govern the country is probably not as good as those ancient sages in the East.

Unexpectedly, he, a wise and wise monarch, the only leader in the history of England to receive the title of Emperor, could only rely on his strength to gain a place in the company.

It's a pity. In the ninth century, the island of Britain did not yet have the flower of civilization that could allow the leader to shine after he regained his life, at least he could not even make the third gift that Suning had prepared for his ancestors.

The Xianbei people braved huge casualties to finally destroy the outer fence of the camp, but their iron hooves were soon blocked by others.

A crooked river appeared in their path. Although the river is not deep, the dense pebbles on the riverbed mean that the horses have to be careful when crossing the river.

The Xianbei people, who had been fighting in the north for many years, of course, saw the mystery at a glance, so some of them lined up by the river, using bows and arrows to suppress the fire covering from the other side of the river, while others took the opportunity to cross the turbulent river.

To their surprise, the longbowmen on the opposite mound seemed to be in a state of great fatigue after the previous rounds of archery. Their archery frequency was quickly suppressed by the Xianbei warriors.

This gave more warriors the hope of crossing the river smoothly, so they went into the water to lead their cherished horses and rushed to the enemy camp where a large amount of supplies were stored.

At this time, they were joined by two more cavalry teams. The river, which was not very wide, suddenly became crowded. Almost everyone was cautiously moving forward, apparently noticing anything unusual on the surface of the river.

At this time, Suning had not yet arrived, and when he came to King Alfred's side, he began to talk with great interest, and asked the Anglo-Saxons of the ninth century whether Greek fire had been applied to naval warfare.

Greek fire, which is something that only the Arabs use, is said to float on the surface of the water and burn continuously. For King Alfred, who is far above the Northwest Island Country, that kind of fire that is not afraid of water is simply unimaginable.

It was with this that the Arabs dominated the northwestern part of the Indian Ocean and kept their warships in a large area not on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean.

King Alfred had apparently never imagined that something like that would exist in the far east.

Wet water.

It's a name that's unfamiliar to a lot of people. However, after this battle, he will surely become famous all over the world.

This is Suning still hesitating, what kind of name should he use to become famous in the world? Is it the current version that is not well-known, or the version used in the cold storage of the great scientists of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Petroleum.
