Chapter 597: Into the Grassland (Chapter 2)
Tallinn strongly opposed Zhuolig's idea of leading the army with Borchi, but Tamu smiled silently, obviously acquiescing to Borchi's leading troops, and Tuoba Yan would not oppose Borchi's leading troops if the tribe had no good generals.

It was determined that Borchi personally led the cavalry of various tribes to fight, and then discussed that Ta Mu would send spies to explore the details of the main force of the Yan army.
Walking out of the king's tent, Tallinn looked listless and a little depressed, and walked side by side with Zhuolig, very unhappy with Zhuolig's suggestion that Borchi lead his army to fight.
With a drooping face, he couldn't hold his breath, and asked sternly: "Zhuo Lige, the Yan army is coming, this king strives to be led by you, we take the opportunity to win the hearts of the people, why do you strongly recommend Borchi." Besides, so many tribal leaders support you, why do you refuse to push this good thing to Borchi, if he rises again, the tribes of the steppe will not be at peace, and we will have more competitors for the idea of competing for the throne. ”
Zhuo Lige didn't care about Tallinn's questioning, laughed as he walked, slowly approached Tallinn and whispered: "Prince, you don't know Bolchi too well, his tribe has suffered heavy losses in the war in front of him, and the grain and grass can only barely be maintained, and Bolchi is eager to fight and revenge, and he will definitely lead all the 70,000 light cavalry under his command to participate in the war, however, the grain that Tamu took out must not be counted in the other 40,000 light cavalry under his command, you say, after the army goes out, will there be a food problem." ”
"Oh, I see, you said that Borchi will definitely withhold food and relieve the cavalry under his command, which will cause dissatisfaction among the cavalry of various tribes, and Borchi's plan to buy people's hearts will be completely bankrupt, right?" The thief of Tallinn asked Zhuolig, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile, if things are as he said, Borchi will not increase his personal prestige, but will cause many contradictions in the army.
"That's right, more important, Hou Mingfeng led the blade soldiers, and Zhao Hongru led the ironclad infantry into the grassland, 130,000 foot cavalry are the elite of the Yan country, according to Hou Mingfeng's ability, Bolchi may not defeat the other party in a battle, at that time, we will be able to take advantage of the Yan army and Bolchi entanglement to make another move, we will be able to determine the victory in a battle, and the final honor still belongs to us." Zhuo Lige said with a smile, obviously very satisfied with his plan.
Hearing this, Tallinn was speechless, and couldn't help but sigh secretly that Zhuolig was a cunning old fox!
After more than ten steps forward, Tallinn suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked mysteriously: "But, Zhuolig, what should I do if Borchi is defeated, don't forget, the cavalry he led comes from various tribes, and it is inevitable that they will contain each other and delay the fighters!" ”
He expressed doubts about Borchi's ability to suppress the tribal generals, and if the tribes did not obey, it would seriously affect Borchi's dispatch of troops.
"The prince is too worried, this battle is a matter of life and death for all tribes, dare not be defeated, and cannot be defeated, no matter who it is, if he deliberately delays the fighter, I believe that Borchi will make an example of the chickens and monkeys!" Zhuo Lige said. In his heart, he was sincerely afraid, and he was not sure, after all, the quarrels between the leaders of the various tribes in the king's tent were vivid in the past, and he could not guarantee that the tribes would not contain each other.
"I hope so, if someone pulls his hind legs, Borchi will kill him, no matter who it is, this king will support it!" Tallinn Road, in the king's tent, everyone quarreled endlessly, but they discussed their own affairs, killing the enemy on the battlefield, but they needed to face the Yan army, which was related to the survival of various tribes, and it was absolutely not child's play.
The two left the royal tent and returned to their respective tribes, and at the same time, the tribes also began to send cavalry, which continued to converge on the eastern side of the steppe, and prepared for a rapid march according to Borchi's request.
In the afternoon, the chiefs of the tribes wanted to quickly dispatch their troops, and soon the army was gathered, and Borchi led two thousand cavalry, full of confidence and went east.
In this battle, whether it is revenge or blocking the Yan army, Borchi has great confidence. I hope to teach the Yan army a lesson, and also tell the leaders of the grassland tribes that he Borchi was a brave and good general in the past, and now he can still be invincible and invincible.
In the past, his tribe fought with the Yan army many times, but the tribe could not go all out against the Yan army because of the two-sided battle, this time, the Yan army went deep alone, what about Hou Mingfeng, what about the blade soldiers, if he grabbed the other party's tail, he would not let the Yan army slip away from his eyes in vain.
Whoever dares to despise him, or have the slightest disrespect for him, will regain control of the grassland tribes in the coming day, and how others treated him at the beginning, he will mercilessly return these humiliations.
The sun is setting in the west, and the green grass of the grassland is sprinkled with the afterglow of the sunset, reflecting the bright light, and the people who shine are dazzled.
The breeze blows, walking in the vast grassland, and the beautiful scenery along the way is pleasing to the eye.
In the lush grassland, the army led by Hou Mingfeng and Zhao Hongru slowly marched forward in the grassland.
With ironclad infantry and a lot of rations, the legion did not march fast.
Nine days away from the town, the army went deep into the hinterland of the grassland, but it still took two days to reach the Woma Plain, and it took more than half a day to reach the east of the Woma Plain, Yunxia Mountain, where the Yan army was preparing to be stationed.
Looking at the endless grassland in the distance, Zhao Hongru, who fought on the grassland for the first time, was shocked by the vast grassland and deeply realized why the grassland was called the world of cavalry.
In the flat steppe, if you encounter cavalry, the infantry will not be able to form any defenses without any support for the terrain.
Even though the ironclad infantry has been trained on how to restrain the cavalry since it was formed, and the ironclad infantry has made a lot of achievements in the southern and northern wars over the years, the situation on the grassland still makes him have to be cautious.
Fortunately, the ironclad infantry in this battle only needs to be stationed under the clouds and clouds to attract the main legions of various tribes, otherwise, he is very suspicious that the emperor sent the ironclad infantry deep into the grassland, whether he did not consider the advantages and disadvantages of infantry and cavalry battles.
At present, as long as you arrive at Yunxia Mountain safely, relying on the topography of Yunxia Mountain, it is enough to provide a safe place for the ironclad cavalry.
The closer he got to Yunxia Mountain, the more uneasy Zhao Hongru's heart became, always worried that there would be a cavalry outside the grassland suddenly appeared, pondered for a long time, and couldn't help but raise his head and seal to Hou Mingfeng: "Old Hou, be vigilant, the closer we get to the Woma Plain, it means that the closer we are to the cavalry outside the Saiwai, no matter how downtrobal the alliance is, there are also two fierce generals Bolchi and Zhuolige, plus, Tuoba Yan is an old fox, we are alone, we can't be careful!" ”
"Lao Zhao, don't worry too much, the tribes of the grassland have long been frightened by us, they dare to take the initiative to appear, I will definitely let the other party have no return." He had defeated the tribal alliance many times before, and at this moment, Hou Mingfeng's tone was full of confidence.
However, still in accordance with Zhao Hongru's suggestion, the whole army became vigilant, and promptly changed the way of marching with the cavalry in front and the infantry behind, and the infantry moved to the center and the cavalry was on both flanks.
This formation can ensure that the Yan army can be in a combat state anytime and anywhere after encountering the enemy.
"The cavalry outside the Saiwai has been defeated by the Yan army many times, and the tribal alliance army does not come out. If I encounter the cavalry, I hope to make the ironclad infantry contact the opponent to see if the cavalry is more powerful than the cavalry of the Jin or Zhao kingdoms. Zhao Hongru said.
The three most powerful cavalry teams in the north are none other than the Tiger Army, the Hun Cavalry and the Donghu Cavalry, all three of which have been heavily damaged by the Yan Army, Zhao Hongru led the ironclad infantry, and the Tiger Ben Army and the Hun Cavalry have fought, with the Yan State Cavalry, and have taught each other a hard lesson.
Hou Mingfeng nodded, agreeing with Zhao Hongru's idea, the vast grassland is somewhat different from the Central Plains, and the ironclad infantry tactics should also be changed slightly. "No matter what, before midnight, we must arrive at Yunxia Mountain, and the whole army must be camped in Anyang to ensure the safety of the ironclad infantry!"
If he simply attacked the tribal alliance, Hou Mingfeng was sure to lead the blade warriors, rampage, kill the opponent without leaving a piece of armor, and then retreat with his whole body. However, with the ironclad infantry led by Zhao Hongru, the marching speed was much slower, and they could not act rashly.
After all, the task of the ironclad infantry in this battle is to attract the main force of the cavalry outside the Saiwai and be in a defensive position, otherwise, the ironclad infantry will leave Yunxia Mountain and march into the cavalry outside the Saiwai and fall into an isolated and helpless place, which is also contrary to the strategy of deployment before leaving.
"Hmmm! The whole army is moving forward quickly! Zhao Hongru nodded.
In this battle, going deep into the grassland, Zhao Hongru was worried and excited, and the lone army went deep into the grassland, as a bait to attract the main army of the cavalry outside the Saiwai, for him, this was something he had never experienced.
However, if he can successfully attract the main force of the Saiwai Legion to Yunxia Mountain, and implement effective methods to inflict heavy blows on the opponent, he and the ironclad infantry will be in a storm when the army comes from all sides.
After the storm passed, the inside and outside should be combined with the whole cavalry corps outside the Saiwai, and he and the ironclad infantry are likely to become famous in a battle.
Under the sunset, sprinkled in the afterglow of the grassland, shining on Zhao Hongru's face, in reverie, he suddenly noticed that in the direction of the sun, two small black dots appeared in the edge of the grassland, moving rapidly.
Zhao Hongru hurriedly signaled to Hou Mingfeng, noticing the situation ahead. Hou Mingfeng, who had been in and out of the grassland many times, suddenly cheered up and shouted: "It's not good, there is an enemy attack, and the whole army is ready to fight." ”
"Ironclad infantry, all armed!" Zhao Hongru didn't know why the two moving black dots would involve the enemy attack, but he didn't dare to be sloppy.
Hou Mingfeng went deep into the grassland many times to better understand the situation of the grassland, and hurriedly turned around and gave orders to the infantry under his command. In an instant, more than 100,000 horsemen moved quickly, drew their knives, held their crossbows, and bothered to pay attention to the front.
The black dot was getting closer and closer, and soon it was clear that the two horses were galloping wildly. Behind the two of them, a large number of cavalry appeared on the margin, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, they were lined up, and the elongated shadows seemed to be countless giants holding long knives and slowly standing up from under the ground.
Half-squinting his eyes, Zhao Hongru looked at the cavalry that appeared on the edge of the grassland in the distance, and asked curiously: "Old Hou, what's the matter, why didn't these cavalry make a sound when they came?" ”
