The alliance of the various tribes of the grassland this time is by no means a deception or bluff, and it is a matter of life and death, and it will never be taken lightly. Please search () to see the most complete! The fastest update
Although it doesn't matter whether Donghu, or the Xiongnu, or the ancestors of the Rong people, they were all members of the Flying Tiger Cavalry under the command of Emperor Haotianwu, and made great contributions to the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
However, since hundreds of years ago, the Flying Fox Cavalry disbanded and formed their own tribes in the grassland, and the tribes gradually broke away from the control of the Great Zhou.
Until the fall of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Central Empire turned into a chaotic war among the princes, the tribes of the steppe completely got rid of the control of the Central Empire and took advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to rapidly develop their own forces.
After a long time, because of the conquest between the two sides, the grassland tribes and the northern vassal states formed an indelible contradiction, especially when the Rong tribe was strong, he led the troops to attack the Yan State and the Jin State many times, and once went deep into the imperial capital of the Jin State.
The two countries of Yan and Jin formed an endless knot with the grassland tribes.
This time, the Yan State became stronger, annexed the Jin State, swept the Zhao State, and raised troops to the north, and the grassland tribes were deeply aware that the Central Empire was destroyed back then, and finally the princes became strong again, if they could not defeat the other party, they could only completely sink and fall.
Therefore, in order to maintain the independence of the tribes outside the Saiwai and not suffer from the retaliation of the Yan army, the tribes of the grassland even took out their family wealth this time.
A fierce general like Zhuo Lige wholeheartedly supported the eldest prince Tallinn and the second prince Tamu to compete for the throne of Donghu Khan, and at this moment, he had to let Tallinn put aside his prejudices and unanimously open to the outside world.
Zhuo Lige was once one of the right-hand men of the East Hu King Antilla, and his military ability was comparable to the steppe tiger general Bolchi, that is, the two once led the Donghu troops, united with the Li Mu army of Zhao State, defeated the Xiongnu, and rushed to the west.
At this moment, he was reused by the Great Prince, commanded all the cavalry of the Great Prince's tribe, and marched towards the Malan Slope.
It may have been expected that the Yan army would move north non-stop after the ice and snow melted in the spring, so when Borchi proposed a coalition, Zhuolig acted quickly, causing the tribe to just move and the Yan army appeared outside the Saiwai.
At the same time, Ta Mu, who had fallen out of favor but was reused by King Donghu after Tallinn was killed, also put aside his prejudices against each other in the fight for King Donghu Khan with Tallinn at a critical moment, and temporarily united.
The two princes, one of whom began to prepare military forces and the other controlled the money and grain of the grassland, each had their own strengths, but they could still see the meaning of the secret struggle from the actions of the two.
Arriving on the western front, the tribes of Donghu temporarily merged with the Xiongnu to temporarily form a tribal alliance, and the various tribes worked together to unite all the cavalry of the steppe to form a cavalry force of hundreds of thousands of people, intending to completely unite and block the northward expansion of the Yan army.
As for the contradictions and disagreements between the various tribes, after defeating the Yan army, everyone will settle accounts after the autumn.
Outside, inside, which is more important, the leaders of each tribe can distinguish right from wrong.
At this moment, no matter how many conflicts there were in the past over the competition for water and grass, cattle and sheep, horses, and women and children, we must also put aside our hatred and resist the Yan army with all our might.
Moreover, even the two sworn enemies of the grassland, the Xiongnu and Donghu, have united, and if they do not unite, they will definitely be wiped out by the tribes of the grassland.
After all, not uniting would mean possible betrayal.
Under the thunderous momentum, the things that would definitely contain each other in the past did not happen, and most of the tribes quickly moved to the tribe before the arrival of the Yan army, and a few tribes that moved slowly were directly uprooted by the Yan army, and a large number of tribesmen were broken and moved south.
Therefore, Hou Feng and the others led the ironclad cavalry into the grassland, trying to divide the grassland, because the tribes of the grassland united to form an alliance, which was completely defeated.
More than 100,000 ironclad cavalry, there is no way to help the hundreds of thousands of cavalry on the grassland, coupled with the long-distance attack, they did not carry much grain and grass, so the two of them can only take the prisoners and temporarily return to Zhenyuan Pass, and then make plans.
When Lin Feng arrived at Zhenyuan Pass, he encountered Zhang Yu, and when the Hou Feng army gathered in the pass, he was also shocked.
After learning the details, he couldn't help but only scold Li Mu as a bastard, which made the Yan army delay the fighter plane and fail to launch an attack on the grassland tribes in advance.
However, the tribes outside the Saiwai gathered near Malanpo and prepared to concentrate superior forces against the Yan army.
But it made him have unexpected thoughts, the tribes outside the Saiwai are not like the Central Plains vassal states, the cities are concentrated, it is very easy to capture, their tribes are scattered, and if they want to annihilate each other, they need to spend a lot of time marching to be able to encroach step by step.
This time, the concentration of Donghu and the Xiongnu is not a good thing for the Yan army, as long as the plan is appropriate, it is not without a problem to completely annihilate the tribes of the grassland in a war.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the plan was feasible, as long as he prepared for a general battle and completely annihilated the allied forces of all tribes, he would completely wait for work and pacify the scattered forces in the north.
With a joy in his heart, Lin Feng specially sent someone to prepare food, gathering Zhang Yu, Hou Mingfeng, Feng Shihu, Wang Lunyue, and Murong Qiyan, ready to treat everyone, and by the way, discuss how to solve the various tribes outside the Saiwai next.
The success of this battle depends entirely on deployment, if it cannot be properly deployed, rashly fighting with hundreds of thousands of cavalry outside the Saiwai will completely wipe out the family foundation accumulated by the Yan army for several years.
In the handsome tent, the generals sat down in turns, while Wang Lunyue and Murong Qiyan sat on both sides of Lin Feng in the center of the high platform, and the three of them had a meal together.
After sandwiching the dishes for the two of them, Lin Feng took care of himself and ate by himself, running back and forth all year round, to enjoy a free life, and only by returning to the palace at the end of the year, so he was in a very good mood today.
Murong Qiyan gladly accepted Lin Feng's kindness, Wang Lunyue had the intention of refusing, but the generals were in the tent together, so it was difficult to refuse Lin Feng's kindness.
Fine wine, barbecue, and war, it is very rare to have such a life, and everyone enjoys it.
Of course, whether it is Zhang Yu or Wang Lunyue, they both know in their hearts that Lin Feng summoned everyone to come, not just to taste wine and food, but the real purpose must be to discuss how to solve the matter outside the plug next.
After all, the change in the situation in the north has led to the fact that the previous deployment has not had any effect, and it is definitely not a simple matter to redeploy to deal a powerful blow to the war situation in the north.
Soon, Feng Shihu couldn't help it, put down the wine glass in his hand, and asked Lin Feng with a fist: "Your Majesty, there have been great changes in the grassland outside the Saiwai, and we didn't expect it, the last general felt that it was time to make a decision early." ”
After speaking, he stared at Lin Feng with his eyes, if it weren't for the accident of the various tribes in the grassland, at this moment, he and Hou Mingfeng would definitely lead the ironclad cavalry to gallop in the grassland outside the Saiwai.
At present, although the wine and food are happy, the existence of the cavalry outside the Saiwai is still like a fish in the throat, thinking about it, I can't help but feel a little unwilling in my heart!
When Lin Feng heard this, he waved his hand, and said with a smile: "The matter outside the plug, either not fighting, or if you want to fight, you have to fight to settle the situation, General Feng doesn't have to be too anxious, I have a rough plan in my heart, but it is not perfect, I need everyone to add, the wine and food are in front, and after everyone is full of wine and food, we will discuss in detail!" ”
Hearing this, Feng Shihu stopped talking, and was thinking about Lin Feng's plan while eating, in his opinion, the Yan army and the Saiwai tribe were both cavalry, and if they wanted to defeat the other party, they could only attack it unprepared, take it by surprise, and use the lethality of the ironclad cavalry and the powerful range of the crossbow to effectively hit the Saiwai cavalry.
Moreover, in the past, the Yan army usually did this against the cavalry outside the Saiwai, and achieved good results, and this battle may still be concocted in the same way.
The difference is that in the past, the Yan army fought against the cavalry outside the Saiwai, ranging from tens of thousands to more than 100,000, and there has never been a surrender like this time, when the Saiwai tribe formed hundreds of thousands of two armies.
If the Yan army had concocted it in the same way as before, it might have a good effect, but it would have been very difficult to annihilate the cavalry of the various tribes outside the Saiwai.
Feng Shihu shook his head, he didn't know how to solve the matter outside the Saiwai, although he also had a few immature thoughts in his heart, he still couldn't completely annihilate the Saiwai Coalition Army.
In desperation, I had to put my mind on food and wait for the emperor to express his thoughts.
Next to them, Zhang Yu and Hou Mingfeng didn't think about the next thing at all, the wine and food naturally had to be enjoyed, and they had their own time to discuss the matter of attacking the outside of the plug.
More than half an hour later, the banquet ended, and Lin Feng waved his hand to signal the guards to remove the leftovers, and at the same time carried the sand table into the tent.
Twisting his neck, Lin Feng stood up and slowly walked towards the sand table. The generals saw this, got up one after another, and walked towards the sand table.
In the sand table, the detailed layout, from the northern border of Zhao and Yan, to the Xiongnu in the west, and the Donghu in the east, mountains and rivers, checkpoints and fortresses, there is no omission, very distinct.
Lin Feng walked to the sand table, glanced at the troops stationed outside the Saiwai at Malanpo, and asked: "The various tribes outside the Saiwai are gathered, what do you think, everyone expresses their opinions, no matter how many enemy troops there are, they will definitely be able to solve the war outside the Saiwai." ”
Hou Mingfeng took the lead in speaking, pointed at the position of the Malan slope with a wooden pole, and said: "Your Majesty, according to the arrangement in the sand table, the topography of the Malan slope is very peculiar, the east and west sides are plains, there is Woma Mountain in the north, Woma Mountain is covered with snow all year round, after the temperature rises in late spring, the snow in Woma Mountain melts, and the snow water is left from the north. However, in the south of Malan Slope, because there is a Yinma River passing through, and the downstream terrain is extremely flat, the water level of the river is almost the same as the river bank, forming a swamp under the Malan Slope, unless in the cold winter season, there is no possibility to try to go directly north from the south of Malan Slope on weekdays. ”
As for what he described, Hou Mingfeng was not empty words, but sent people to reconnoiter many times in late autumn last year and not long ago when he went deep into the grassland.
"That's right, the bad water swamp south of Malan Slope is very dangerous after the end of spring, and if you rush in, you will definitely be wiped out!" Feng Shihu added.
"Therefore, the last general suggested that since the tribes outside the Saiwai dare to gather their armies between the Malan Slope and the Yinma River, why don't we divide our troops and annihilate each other from the left and right?" Hou Mingfeng put forward his own ideas.
It was useless to go north, and when he returned to the south, he had a consideration, but under the circumstances at that time, he and the number of ironclad cavalry under Feng Shihu's command could not divide the troops into two ways, and they attacked each other left and right.
