Chapter 617 - Preparing Sweet Dreams (Second Update)
The crowd deliberated for a long time, basically arguing, spending time and energy, but did not come up with any effective methods.
The Yan army was aggressive outside, but there was no good strategy, and the Yan army must be eliminated, Ta Mu reluctantly agreed to the proposal of everyone, gathered the alliance of various tribes, a total of 360,000, all of them went to Yunxia Mountain.
During this period, Zhuolig never spoke, and Tallinn tried to refute Tamu's opinion many times, but was forcibly suppressed by Zhuolig.
Reluctantly reached a consensus, in order to ensure that there were tribal cavalry to escape again before the battle, Ta Mu proposed on the spot that before the army was marched, the whole army would be allied with blood and swear to the kings of the Donghu dynasties.
On the third day after the defeat of Borchi, the whole army slaughtered the war horses in the Woma Plain, drank blood and swore an oath to promise not to defeat the Yan army and not to retreat, and to rush to the battlefield and not to flee, and go to Yunxia Mountain, and the leaders of the tribes obeyed the dispatch of Tamu, Tallinn, Zhuolige, and Tuobaya.
After taking the oath, the army marched to Yunxia Mountain to join the remnants of Bor's bare army.
In this battle, the tribes of the grassland poured out of their nests, leaving the old and weak women and children of the tribes in the Woma Plain, as well as enough grain and grass for everyone's daily consumption, but because of the insistence of the small tribal leaders, there was no defense force left.
led the army to Tamu, Tallinn, Zhuolige, and Tuoba Yan in Yunxia Mountain, and along the way, his mood fell into a trough.
Ta Mu always insisted, feeling that he should leave some cavalry in the Woma Plain to prevent the Yan army from making trouble behind his back, after all, whether the main army of the Yan army is in the south or not, there is no exact information so far.
However, none of the tribal leaders supported him, not even Zhuolig.
Otherwise, there will definitely be no situation of being forced into the palace by the leaders of various small tribes.
Ta Mu is one of the few people in Donghu and even on the grassland, who is really capable and far-sighted.
It's a pity that because of the competition for the Khan position with Tallinn, it was not supported by the tribal leaders, even if he forcibly controlled the grain and grass of the tribes, even if he had 50,000 ironclad cavalry, he still did not change the situation that the government decree was not passed.
From that year, Antillah mobilized him from the Northern Territory back to the Donghu royal court. At that time, it was just rumored that Borchi had killed Tara and there were signs of self-proclaimed khan.
At that time, he felt that only the unified Donghu tribe could dominate the grassland and be invincible.
It is a pity that Borchi finally became self-reliant in Xishan, and two years later, Antilla died, and Tallinn refused to accept the arrangement of his father Khan, and united with Zhuolig to split Donghu again.
After two splits, the power of Donghu was repeatedly weakened, which gave the Yan State the opportunity to break through one by one, eliminate the power of the various tribes in the grassland, and expand the territory of the Yan State.
Even now, the unification of the various tribes of Donghu has become distant because the Yan forces have broken into the grassland. He still always believes that it is really not good to unify the tribes of Donghu, unite all the forces of the tribes of the grassland, and everyone work together, think in one place, and work hard in one place, which will definitely ensure that the tribes will continue to continue, and even defeat the Yan army and rise again.
However, with the death of Antila, the king of Donghu, Donghu was divided again, and he could not fully control the tribes of the steppe, which made Donghu go farther and farther on the road of unification, and Donghu became more and more decayed.
At present, the coalition army has been defeated again, and the tribes of the steppe, not only Donghu, but even the Xiongnu have also reached the point of life and death, but between the tribes, they still have not let go of their past grievances.
Your tribe robbed my tribe of water, your father killed my grandfather, and your child robbed my daughter, all of which are inconsequential things that can deepen the hatred of various tribes, which makes Ta Mu powerless and very uncomfortable.
Donghu is becoming more and more decayed, whether this battle can be won, he has no psychological bottom, even before leaving, the tribes swore blood, promised to fight against the Yan army with all their might, did not win a complete victory, and never went west into the Woma Plain.
Human nature is complicated, and no one dares to guarantee that the oath can become an iron law. Everybody sticks to it.
Therefore, he did not dare to predict this victory or defeat, so he had to resign himself to fate.
Among his peers, the one who is in a worse mood than Ta Mu is afraid that only Zhuo Lige is the only one.
Ever since he learned of the defeat of the Bolch coalition and his close contact with him, he has been in a state of repentance for several days.
Over the years, in order to gain more power, he supported Tallinn and Ta Mu, the heir set by the king of Donghu, to compete for the throne of Donghu Khan, which led to the division of Donghu again, and his power plummeted, and his strength was not what it used to be.
Before, he secretly did tricks, anticipating that Borchi led the army to fight and might be defeated, he and Tallinn took the opportunity to lead the army to rescue Borchi in danger, unexpectedly, his guess was right, but the coalition army suffered heavy losses, and lost more than 100,000 in the first battle, which was beyond the scope of everyone's acceptance.
As a result, the grassland tribes suffered serious casualties, and the strength against the Yan army became smaller and smaller.
He is repenting, repenting that because of his desire for power, he caused a large number of casualties among the grassland warriors, and missed a great opportunity to inflict heavy losses on the Yan army and save the grassland tribes from fire and water.
More importantly, he had the same strategic vision as Borchi, and the escape of the coalition forces was the main reason for Borchi's defeat.
In the next war, it is difficult to predict whether the coalition forces will continue to flee, causing chaos in the army, and thus a major defeat, but there is no guarantee that such a thing will not happen.
After all, there is a precedent for fleeing from battle, and in a dire situation, it is easy for a large army to break up and flee without a fight.
Think about what you have done in the past few years, instead of holding the supremacy of Donghu, on the contrary, you have turned the once powerful Donghu into a last-stream tribe, and even the Yan army, which did not dare to go deep into the grassland to herd horses in the past, now leads the iron cavalry to wipe out the tribes outside the Saiwai.
It can be said that the division and decay of Donghu are all thanks to him, the mastermind behind the scenes.
This time, Donghu and the Xiongnu led the remaining armies, united to form a cavalry corps of more than 300,000, and went to Yunxia Mountain, whether they could defeat the Yan army, at present, I dare not guarantee, in his heart, but we must win, otherwise, regardless of the Xiongnu who dominated the grassland in the past, or the overlord of the grassland, this battle will all be dissipated in the dust of history.
Even if he makes amends and dies on the battlefield, if he can't save the Donghu tribe from danger, he will inevitably become a sinner of Donghu in the future and be nailed to the pillar of shame in history.
Even under Jiuquan, he didn't have the face to meet Antara, the king of Donghu, and he was even more sorry for the Donghu warriors who died in vain because of him.
At the same time, Tuoba Yan was even more unhappy in his heart, not long ago, Lin Feng released his daughter who had been captive for more than half a year, but he was lobbying himself to give up his dream of fighting for hegemony, surrender to Yan Kingdom, and be a happy and comfortable marquis.
At the beginning, he was lucky, and cleverly refused Lin Feng, trying to obtain Lin Feng's consent, leading the army to retreat to the west, and secretly strengthening the tribe, but unfortunately there has been no news so far.
Obviously, Lin Feng did not agree to his request, and this time, the various tribes of the grassland united to form a coalition army of less than 400,000, hoping to annihilate the Yan army in Yunxia Mountain.
Perhaps, the coalition forces can rely on the superiority of troops to succeed, but he always feels that things are not so simple.
The spies in the south sent back the news that the war of Yan in Zhao State was a complete victory, and there was no suspense about completely occupying Zhao State, but it was just a matter of time.
So, since there was no suspense about the Yan army's victory in the south, why did it send a lone army to Yunxia Mountain? Attract the main forces of the coalition forces and annihilate them one by one?
Maybe Yan Jun's method will succeed, but it will also push the two elite legions of Yan Kingdom into the fire pit.
This is also the main source of peace of mind in his heart, the Xiongnu and the Yan army only came into contact once, and all 70,000 Hun cavalry were killed.
It is enough to prove that the Yan army is ruthless, and if it does not fight, it will be a decisive battle.
At this moment, he was afraid that the Yan army would use the trick of blinding, so he sent elite infantry cavalry to garrison Yunxia Mountain to attract the attention of various tribes in the grassland. In fact, there were other plans, taking advantage of the fact that the coalition forces did not notice, to cover up their unpreparedness and annihilate the grassland coalition forces.
This method has excellent results, it does not need to take too much time, and there is no need for the Yan army to run around, and it can quickly level the steppe cavalry.
Perhaps, others will not consider these issues, and just want to annihilate the Yunxia Mountain Yan Army and eliminate the current hidden dangers.
When he is the king of the Huns, it is easier to start from the overall situation, and he will think about what to do next, and it will definitely not be a simple and brutal killing.
He believed that Lin Feng would not only think about simple and brutal killing, and did not have a long-term plan, otherwise, this would not be in line with Lin Feng's character and his previous combat style.
The more he didn't understand, the more worried Tuoba Yan became, there were only so many people left in the tribe, if the Yan army had other deployments, and the first battle crippled all the remaining cavalry of the tribe, he would sooner or later become a prisoner of the Yan army, if the other party did not leave prisoners, he would not even have a chance to fight on the ground, and he would be hacked to death on the battlefield.
At this moment, he was a little shaken by Lin Feng's proposal, maybe he was born at the wrong time, and when he encountered a powerful opponent like Yan Guo, he really didn't have a chance to revive the Xiongnu and make a comeback.
It's a pity that Tuoba Yu'er was left by him in the Woma Plain, at this moment, tens of thousands of Hun cavalry all went to Yunxia Mountain, he wanted to change his mind, but no one passed on the news.
Tuoba Yan was very embarrassed, and his intuition gave him an opportunity to continue the tribe, but he rejected it.
Walking forward with the army, he was secretly thinking about how to transmit the news back to the Woma Plain, so that Tuoba Yu'er could get in touch with the Yan army.
So as to find an opportunity to defect to the Yan army.
Several commanders of the coalition army, each with their own troubles, only Tallinn, who wishfully hoped to inherit the throne of Donghu Khan, but was played and applauded by Zhuo Lige, was in a very optimistic mood all the way, and was the only optimistic person among everyone.
When he learned that Bolchi led the army to a great defeat, he wanted to say that the Yan army defeated the Bolchi army, but it was a fluke, as long as he fought in person, the Yan army had absolutely no chance of winning.
It's a pity that he has been blocked by Zhuo Lige many times, he has no chance to speak at all, and along the way, no one cares, and his heart is extremely aggrieved.
This arrogant guy who feels good about himself, but even Antila, the king of Donghu, does not pass on the throne to him, always believes that if he leads the army, he will definitely defeat the Yan army and reduce the casualties of the Donghu tribe.
It's a pity that the dream he compiled was just a dream, and when he woke up, the reality was still cruel.
