Chapter 136: Gongsun Zhan: White Horse Yicong, Suning: Black Horse Yicong
The horse team in Hou Cheng's memory is galloping on the grassland in the north as a pioneer at this moment. Behind him were nearly ten thousand tribal warriors who had followed him for many years.
They come from a Qiang tribe called Heima. For generations, the tribe has admired black horses, and because their preferences are quite different from those of other Qiang tribes, they are often isolated by other tribes. However, they have always been accustomed to warfare, so they have not been swallowed up by other tribes for many years. also knew that their leader lost to a guy named Suning, and they lived a life of accepting someone else's leadership.
Thankfully, the new leader was more concerned about the well-being of his tribesmen than their leader. When the Baidu Star Cavalry was likely to launch a surprise attack on Liangzhou, he had already prepared a thorough defense plan. More than half of the Han cavalry that appeared in Beidi County was led by him from Hanyang County, and she had just led a team of 600 men to repel 20,000 Xianbei cavalry at a heavy price.
This is a glorious achievement that has never been seen in the Northland grasslands. The Dark Horse tribe, which admired force, regarded him as a god for a while. The plan he made was implemented more seriously.
So the horseshoe brought from Hanyang-gun was set on the intimate war horse tigil. Iron stirrups were also redressed on the bodies of each batch of horses. Sophisticated bows and arrows were also equipped into the hands of most warriors. These have ignited their endless pride, thinking that even if the Xianbei people appear in front of them, they can only turn into prey that flees in embarrassment after defeat.
However, the order they received was not to confront the Xianbei people head-on. Instead, he went around to the grassland and went straight to Danhan Mountain, where the Xianbei royal court was located.
At this moment, they were less than two days away from their destination, and according to common sense, this place would be scattered with scouts sent by the Xianbei Royal Court. If they found out, then this sneak attack would be in vain, so they had to lower their yardage and quietly approach the royal court's station.
At this time, he came to Tanshihuai, in a mood of excitement and sadness, his main purpose of stealing cotton textile technology was obviously unable to be completed, although he sent two soldiers and horses to the hinterland of Liangzhou one after another, but they were defeated by Song Ning and his men. So Weishui's technology did not fall into his hands. However, fortunately, he saw the opportunity quickly, and most of the main forces deployed in the northern part of Liangzhou were reduced to pieces and fell to the north of Yanmen Pass, so that they had a local advantage in troops, as long as they broke through Yanmen Pass and attacked the rich Guanzhong area of the Great Wall, they were allowed to plunder.
Thinking of the goods that are about to be piled up in front of you. He couldn't help but rejoice, knowing that the decisive battle three years ago had been fought on their prairie. The Han Dynasty army took the initiative to attack, causing a lot of losses to the various Xianbei tribes on the grassland, although the final victory of the war belonged to them, but they also recuperated for three years after the war, and the marble button regained its combat effectiveness. Now, if the battlefield can be transferred to the hinterland of the Han Dynasty, then the blow to the Han Dynasty will be huge. Tanshi Huai fought for thirty or forty years, and at this moment finally understood that the most important purpose of the original war was to weaken the national strength of the other party. Territory and the number of troops are not the most important factors.
For the past three years, he pondered why the previous wars on the steppe had not caused so much trauma to his tribe. Now he finally figured it out. War in the steppes, aimed at war and plunder. But the war of the Central Plains Dynasty had the means to destroy civilization.
He didn't know how those Han Dynasty people did this, and he didn't know how the other party realized this, but he now knew that if this mode of war was not spread to the territory of the Han people, sooner or later the Xianbei people would be extinct on the steppe.
Therefore, he is also determined to win this battle. Then at this time, the voice of the scout suddenly came from outside the door: "After receiving the news from Yanmen Pass, they found an unknown number of Han cavalry on the west side, and Prince Lian asked if they wanted to destroy them first and attack at Liu Yanmei Guanfaji, so as not to encounter a sneak attack from behind the other party when attacking the city." ”
When Tan Shihuai heard this, he was unexpectedly furious, and he yelled angrily, and yelled at the scout outside the door: "How can that stinky son have such an idea. Since they knew that there was a force of cavalry staring at them from outside the Great Wall, why not install the project, and they came to the rescue, and then set up an ambush to defeat them, so that they could attack the city with peace of mind? This idiot actually wanted to use the stupid method on the grassland to directly pounce and attack, then the other party could have fled on the spot, and the left and right Yanmen passes did not miss, so they didn't have to worry about anything, as long as they saved their lives. This stupid son of mine can't even see through this, how can he treat the Han people in the future? ”
The scout had already understood what he meant, which was achievable for most people, but his man didn't seem to have thought of it before.
However, as long as he rushed back as soon as possible and conveyed this meaning to Prince Helian, the ancestral warriors would naturally be able to easily win this battle, just as they had easily repelled other tribes under the leadership of Lord Tanshi Huai in the past.
So he got up quickly, mounted his horse and rode away. However, he only ran for a day and night before he was confronted by an unknown number of black cavalry.
The scout looked at the other party suspiciously, thinking to himself that the Xianbei cavalry were fighting on the front line at the moment, how could anyone feel that the rear was coming. However, after all, this was the location of the Xianbei Royal Court, so he didn't believe that any Han cavalry could break into here, so he dared to ask the other party, "Which tribe are you from?" ”
The cool breeze of late autumn pierced the night sky, splashing on the face behind the name, and a strong man in black clothes and black armor came out in front of him, and he walked in front of the scout, like a black mountain falling from the sky, covering the night sky that did not have much brilliance.
I only heard this big man say sonorously: "We are here to be the Black Horse Tribe, and now we belong to the Liangzhou Yongjie Chief Shi Suning. ”
The scout was shocked. Over the years, the Xianbei tribe has developed smoothly, so he never thought that someone could sneak into the hinterland of Xianbei.
However, the reality in front of him now strongly told him that the young general named Huo Qubing back then was able to break through to the hinterland of the Xiongnu. So today, his Suning's subordinates can also break into the hinterland of Xianbei.
