The shield walls on both sides of the ditch slope suddenly opened, and those swords and shields that were originally shields on their shoulders held cold and shining scimitars, and rushed towards the Xianbei cavalry who had completely lost the ability to charge cavalry in the chaos.

The Xianbei cavalry riding on a tall horse did not need to be afraid in the face of the infantry, but the current situation is that the sword and shield soldiers of the Central Army have a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, and they rush down from the top of the ditch, while the Xianbei cavalry is in a big mess, and they cannot organize an effective attack at all.

And the elite cavalry of the Central Army rushed down from the entrance, more like a group of fierce tigers like wolves, rushing back and forth, like entering a no-man's land, shining knives, spears, spears, every time they sorted, they must pick up a Xianbei cavalry, and the elite infantry who followed the elite cavalry into the dam ditch charged forward, and firmly controlled the Xianbei cavalry who fell off the horse.

Jin Liang, who took the lead, had already been invincible in front of Tuoba Jiefen.

Tuoba Xianbei is a grassland barbarian, with martial arts, every leader is the most brave warrior in the tribe, of course, after they use force to subdue the tribe man, they will no longer shoot easily, even if Xu Huang just killed the warriors in his tribe, Tuoba Jiefen did not come out, because he felt that his big sword was only worthy of shooting when he met Jin Liang, the first master of the Han army, and he was too lazy to do it as an ordinary general.

Now that Jin Liang has come, it's time to make a move, but Tuoba Jiefen obviously feels that his hands are trembling, before he saw Jin Liang, he always thought that it was actually difficult to deserve under the fame, because he did not come to the border, there is no hero in the world to make him famous, and now face to face with Jin Liang, judging from the murderous aura exuded by Jin Liang, it is really a vain under the fame, and whether he can escape this time is a problem.

Jin Liang brandished the stone dragon broadsword and slashed it hard, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Tuoba Tao is here!" ”

Tuoba Jiefen raised his knife to greet him, and exclaimed: "This king is Tuoba Jiefen, not Tuoba Tao!" ”

Jin Liang was blocked by Tuoba Jiefen with a knife, changed his move, and stabbed Tuoba Jiefen's chest with a knife, and shouted at the same time: "Tuoba Yuanhao is here!" ”

Tuoba Jiefen hurriedly rode his horse and flashed, and exclaimed: "Jin Liang, I am Tuoba Jiefen, not Tuoba Yuanhao!" ”

Jin Liang stabbed the air with a knife, and then changed his moves, and the crescent moon of the stone dragon broadsword slid towards Tuoba Jiefen's horse head and said: "Tuoba Hongjina is here!" ”

Tuoba Jiefen was furious, how could Jin Liang despise himself so much, and even shouted that the three people were not his own names.

The two horses staggered for ten rounds, Jin Liang stabbed Tuoba Jiefen in the front of the heart, lifted Tuoba Jiefen's corpse high, and shouted loudly: "Tuoba Jiefen is dead, Tuoba Xianbei is gone, and those who descend will not die!" ”

Jin conscience secretly said in his heart, although you are not a great character, but among your descendants are Tuoba Tao, the founding emperor of Western Xia, Tuoba Yuanhao, and the founding emperor of Dashun, Tuoba Hongji.

Li Yuanhao, the ancestor of the Xianbei tribe of the Tuoba clan, in the Tang Dynasty because of the suppression of the Huangchao uprising, was given the surname Li, his grandfather was Li Jiqian, Li Zicheng's original surname Tuoba, the original name was Hongji, Chongzhen 16 years in 1643 in Xiangyang called the new Shun king, to the Xixia party Xiang Li Jiqian as the ancestor.

In order to consolidate his identity as the head man before, Tuoba Jiefen repeatedly pretended to be a god and played a ghost, pretending to be a demigod inspired by the gods, and the herdsmen of the Tuoba tribe were ignorant, all believed it to be true, and they all worshiped him as a demigod, and now this demigod is worn on Jin Liang's big knife, like a fat sheep that is burned on a stick when the tribe barbecues, the cavalry of the Tuoba tribe who were originally not afraid of death no longer have any heart to fight, and the head man has fallen like a cow and sheep in front of the strongest commander of the Han people. The headman's ambition has nothing to do with his own Mao, so he better surrender and avoid death.

A great battle ended, and the Tuoba Xianbei tribe had 40,000 strong men, more than 5,000 killed, and the rest were all captured.

Jin Liang sent Zhang Liao to lead 20,000 horses, and with the cooperation of 2,000 Xianbei troops, they rushed to the Tuoba tribe, and the 160,000 troops of the Tuoba Department quickly moved into the Sai under the coercion and temptation of the Central Army.

This was followed by the complete sinicization of the Tuoba Xianbei Department, those who refused to be sinicized, and were not qualified to be sinicized, all of the troops were sent to build cities and build roads, and the remaining troops selected 4,000 strong men to temporarily be incorporated into the Hun Corps of the Central Army, and the rest either continued to graze, or switched to farming.

In this war, Jin Liang not only eliminated a scourge that would harm future generations, but also obtained more than 70,000 good horses.

Jin Liang selected the best of the best, selected 1,000 horses to be distributed to various pastures for improvement, and selected 40,000 war horses to be added to the Central Army, ensuring that each division had at least one cavalry brigade, and other infantry brigades had a cavalry battalion, and the soldiers and auxiliaries belonging to the cavalry team had war horses, and at the same time ensured that each infantry team had a matching carriage, so that the sword and shield soldiers, pikemen, crossbow soldiers, equipment soldiers, engineers, medical soldiers, baggage soldiers and other infantry units could keep up with the pace of cavalry marching.

Jin Liang is already trying to build the Central Army into an army that reacts quickly, marches quickly, and can use lightning tactics and long-distance attack tactics.

Those war horses that were injured and unable to walk could only be killed for military rations, but those war horses that could still walk but were eliminated in other aspects, Jin Liang did not sell them to other princes, he gave these war horses to local county soldiers, the Central University Hall Military Academy, and middle schools and primary schools at all levels for training horses. In the realistic situation where mechanization cannot be achieved in a short time. Jin Liang continued to vigorously promote Ma Zheng to improve the survival efficiency of the entire nation.

The Western Xianbei Lord Zhiluo Luo learned that the Tuoba Department was completely annihilated by Jin Liang, and the head of the Tuoba Department Tuoba Jiefen was killed by Jin Liang, he was shocked, he knew very well the combat power of Tuoba Xianbei, 40,000 Tuoba cavalry could be worth 140,000 Hun cavalry, but was easily defeated by Jin Liang, and the entire tribe was forced to move inward by Jin Liang to Sinicize, Jin Liang's combat power must be reestimated. [~]

Zhi Luoluo and several other big tribe leaders sent people into the fortress to investigate, and found out the news that Jin Liang's central army swept Baibo, Montenegro, Southern Xiongnu, Dong Zhuo, Wuzhou family rebels, and Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, and looked at Jin Liang's past achievements. The Xianbei commanders such as Zhi Luoluo couldn't help but gasp, if Jin Liang desperately led the army out of the fortress and fought to the death with them, I am afraid that the entire western Xianbei would not be his opponent combined.

According to the meaning of the shackle Luo Changpu head. The eastern, central, and western tribes of Xianbei in the conference respected the head of Shan Yu as the big single Yu, united as one, and jointly targeted Jin Liang, but he could be placed to be born and die behind the butt of Tanshi Huai before this, and now he has been leading the western Xianbei for many years, and he thinks he is the western Xianbei Shan Yu, and he doesn't want to hold the grandson of the Tanshi Huai on his head anymore, so he categorically rejected this proposal.

The result of the discussion between these adults and handsomes in the western Xianbei is. Temporarily avoid Jin Liang's troops, retreat to the north of Yinshan, lure Jin Liang's army out of the fortress, exhaust its soldiers and horses, cut off its grain routes, and then entangle all the horses in Xianbei in the west, and complete the battle to completely defeat Jin Liang.

I have to say that the tactics of these people are vicious, but they forgot that it is now close to winter. Jin Liang will not risk going out of the jam, and even if he sends troops, it will be in the spring season next year.

Zhi Luoluo and others led the troops to withdraw from Yinshan, and Jin Liang took advantage of the situation to send troops to occupy many passes connected to the Yinshan Mountain Range, which were built during the period of Emperor Wu of the Qin Dynasty and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but they were all abandoned by the Eastern Han court. Jin Liang re-sent people to repair it and sent troops to guard it. At least one battalion of troops was stationed in each pass, with 500 soldiers, 500 auxiliaries, and 1,000 men and horses to occupy the fortress, even if 100,000 elite cavalry from Xianbei attacked, they could hold out until reinforcements arrived.

Because these passes are part of the Great Wall of the Qin and Han Dynasties, if only the passes are repaired without the Great Wall, the Xianbei people will also come in along the Great Wall, and then the Jiangnan that has been built with great difficulty will be destroyed by the war.

Jin Liang didn't think about it, let the collapsed Great Wall not be repaired, and use cavalry to cavalry to wipe out the alien races on the grassland, but now the conditions are not mature, Jin Liang can't let Jizhou go deep into Saibei to destroy Xianbei and Ding Zero, that is, Cao Cao's unification of the north back then was only to defeat Wuhuan, and the rest of the time was to send people to resist Xianbei, Jin Liang did not want to continue the expedition to Saibei before sweeping the Central Plains, because the grassland north of Yinshan lacked cultivation conditions, and there was no existing city to defend. It's just a waste of troops.

In the Cold Weapon Age, the Great Wall was both the front line of defense for the farming peoples and the forward base for launching counterattacks against the nomads. Jin Liang deployed a mobile army in the depth of the rear of the Great Wall to cope with the battle, at this time the Great Wall was not the front line of defense, but the starting line of attack and the line of communication, and the observation posts deployed in front of the Great Wall penetrated into the extreme distance, and the front line was 1,000 kilometers north of the Great Wall. In this era of cold weapons, the nomadic cavalry had excellent mobility and strong attack power, but they were powerless against the city wall defense system, so the construction of the Great Wall could indeed effectively resist the invasion of the northern peoples. Jin Liang had already made up his mind, first repaired the Great Wall, prevented the wolves of the grassland from entering the houses of the Han people, and then went to the grassland to kill the wolves after the other coyotes in the house were eliminated.

The Great Wall of Qin and Han Dynasty has more than 1,000 miles in the Hetao area, most of them are built on the north slope of the mountain, it is dangerous to rely on the mountain, because the slope takes the potential, the valley pass and the Pingchuan area are mostly built with rammed earth, the mountain is mostly built with stones or soil and stones, climb high and look, the Great Wall goes up and down along the mountain, the shape is like a swimming dragon.

The wrong foreign policy from the beginning of Emperor Guangwu, resulting in the Great Wall being abandoned for many years, even if the general Dou Xian defeated the Northern Xiongnu is difficult to recover the decline of the border defense, because the imperial court is in charge of those family ministers, they have the courage to fight privately and cowardly in the public fight, do not pay attention to the blow to the alien race, after more than 200 years of wind and rain, the general stone Great Wall is still well preserved, most of the earthen walls are destroyed, and the city wall built of earth and stone has collapsed more than half due to the erosion of many years of wind and rain.

Fortunately, the rebuilt Great Wall only accounts for one-tenth of the Great Wall, and most of the cornerstones are there, Jin Liang mobilized 400,000 people, and it took a winter to complete the repair of the main part, and the remaining details were repaired by the border people in the Hetao area.

The old passes and beacon towers on the Great Wall have all been renovated and perfected, and there are many cities where border households live on the Great Wall.

The repaired Great Wall is two zhang high outside, seven feet high inside, nine feet wide at the top, one zhang wide at the bottom, and the wall is mostly made of cyan boulders. These big stones are the people and garrisons who built the city to cut down the nearby mountain stones one by one, and then build them on the city after grinding, each stone is dozens of pounds in weight, so that the Great Wall that is built up dry and built up has not collapsed for thousands of years. On the inside of the city wall, a beacon tower was set up every two miles, and a soldier was stationed on each beacon tower.

Jin Liang's forced sinicization of the Huns, so that the original surrender of some of the Xiongnu nobles could not bear to be deprived of their status, so they rebelled, and the original Hun Zhonglang general Zhu Ling had already received a secret report from the Military Intelligence Department, and swept away those rebellious Xiongnu nobles by thunderous means, the nameless Xiongnu Shan Yu Huchuquan was forced to succumb to reality, and lived in a mansion in Xiangyang, and died of excessive wine a few years later.

After the Xiongnu were forcibly sinicized, the Xiongnu as a tribe no longer existed, Zhu Ling's Hun Zhonglang General was moved to Hu Xianbei Zhonglang General, specializing in appeasing those Xianbei people who were willing to move from outside the Saiwai to the Senei to accept the Sinicization, and led 20,000 horses to guard Lingshuo City in Shuofang County.

This time in the dam ditch defeated Tuoba Xianbei, the main crossbowmen are trained by Ju Yi, the first camp as the backbone, Jin Liang recorded Ju Yi's merits, he was promoted from the position of Du Liao General Cheng to Du Liao General, specializing in all matters against Hu, under the jurisdiction of Hu Xianbei Zhonglang General, Hu Wuhuan Zhonglang General, Hu Dongqiang Zhonglang General and their subordinate troops, Ju Yi's men and horses in addition to the headquarters of 20,000 central army, but also under the jurisdiction of 20,000 Huns elite cavalry.

Originally, 100,000 elite horsemen could have been selected from more than a million Huns, but Jin Liang saw in the battle of the Xiongnu against Tuoba Xianbei that the current Xiongnu had long lost the spirit of the Maudun period, and were no longer the grassland heroes who crisscrossed the grassland, and had become mud that could not be painted on the wall.

The best of these 20,000 Hun cavalry was led by Xu Huang, all the officers were Han Chinese, all wore the armor of the Han army, and all the training was in accordance with the strict standards of the Central Army, they now look no different from the Han cavalry, except that they look a little different. Although the Hun cavalry that was eliminated belonged to the ordinary herdsmen and peasants, they were also incorporated into the county soldiers, county soldiers, and township soldiers, and were responsible for local defense tasks.

The Wuhuan Zhonglang will be served by Yan Rou, but Yan Rou's new Jin Liang, in addition to helping Tian Chou contact Wuhuan Shan Yu, has not yet made a big contribution, so he will temporarily be the captain of the Wuhuan Guard, and after making great contributions, he will be promoted to the Wuhuan Zhonglang General. Jin Liang assigned the 4,000 Tuoba Xianbei elite cavalry to Yan Rou, and asked him to lead and assist Wuhuan in dealing with the threat of Xianbei in the central part and Xianbei in the east to Youzhou.

Among the more than 800,000 Huns and 160,000 Tuoba Xianbei in the Hetao area, there are more than 200,000 people who refuse to be sinicized, or more than 100,000 people who are not qualified to be sinicized because of their brutality, slaughter of Han people, and Han women, etc., among these people, those nobles and their immediate families who have incitement were strictly investigated by the central army and immediately killed, and the remaining more than 300,000 people were all sent to build cities. During the Western Han Dynasty, Wei Qing and others rebuilt on the remnants of the city built by the Hetao.

Western Xianbei's trick of retreating and luring the enemy into the depths was in Jin Liang's arms, and he didn't want to have a decisive battle with Western Xianbei right now.

Jin Liang sent troops to Hetao this time, captured 100,000 horses from the Xiongnu and Tuoba Xianbei, and bought 40,000 horses from Wuhuan who had temporarily concluded a friendly alliance, plus the horses raised on the small and medium-sized pastures that were originally all over Jizhou and Bingzhou, the Central Army now has nearly 250,000 horses, and it is said that it can equip 250,000 cavalry, but in fact it is not so idealistic.

Among the 250,000 war horses, more than 70,000 war horses can only be used as horses to pull carts, only for infantry to improve the speed of marching, can not be used as war horses, and the elite cavalry that really forms a scale A cavalry can not have only one mount, and the continuous force of a cavalry march with full body armor on a horse can not last long, even if it is the Xianbei horse with the strongest endurance now, the farthest sprint distance is only thirty miles, and when it reaches thirty miles, it will either stop and rest, or change horses, in fact, the march of the cavalry will generally not let the horse run, It's just the normal walking speed of horses, only tens of miles of land need to run, will be fast horses, and run hundreds of miles of long-distance running, usually not let a horse run hundreds of miles, there are transfer pack horses in the middle, once to the destination, a little rest, you can change to the war horse into battle, in this way, at least one person and two horses can do at least long-distance lightning run, roundabout outflanking and other cavalry common tactics.

The cavalry of this era was generally equipped with two or more horses, at least one war horse, one pack horse, and they usually rode pack horses, and only changed to war horses when fighting. In order to save the foot strength of war horses, and the nomadic armies such as Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Wuhuan, and even later Turkic, Khitan, Jurchen, and Mongolian cavalry, each person was usually equipped with three or four horses. For rotational riding.

Jin Liang's Central Army can barely achieve one man and two cavalry, barely maintaining the configuration of more than 80,000 cavalry, if the 20,000 Hun cavalry is eliminated. The Central Army now has only more than 60,000 cavalry, if these 60,000 cavalry go out of the fortress and have two or three hundred thousand strong men who can become cavalry in the western Xianbei competition, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, the grassland is flat, there is no danger to defend, even if Jin Liang brings tens of thousands of crossbowmen, it is difficult to say that he will win, if he is cut off by the Xianbei people, it is even more unthinkable.
