Chapter 611 Separate Calculations (First Update)
The casualties of the tribal cavalry are geometric, Borchi can't worry, these are all his descendants, and the number of remnants is directly related to his next status in the tribes, and he can't ignore it.
Today's battle has taught him a profound lesson, and through the performance of the generals of each tribe, he can more or less guess the intentions of the tribe to which he belongs.
Don't think that Tuoba Yan and Tallinn fully support the elimination of the Yan army, the two want to be worthy of reliance, in the face of some sanctimonious people, things are often not necessarily like this.
On the battlefield, the cavalry of the two tribes showed the thoughts of their respective tribal leaders vividly.
If it weren't for Tuobaya, Tallinn's authorization, the tribal alliance, although the Yan cavalry was jealous, but the battlefield would definitely not be ambiguous, and the Tamu tribe cavalry led by Mu Kun was the best proof.
Before the battle, the two had details about each other, and when they went to the battlefield, they helped each other, and they were truly trustworthy.
Some of today's generals are afraid of the war, and they must be afraid of the war, because their tribal leaders harbor evil intentions and are ready to secretly hide their power and make plans again.
Tubayan and Tallinn did this, and Borchi fully understood that both men were unscrupulous people for the sake of power.
Tuoba Yan tried to light the Xiongnu, naturally he would not do his best, after all, regardless of Donghu or Yan, the military strength surpassed that of the Xiongnu, if the Yan army was repelled by the tribal alliance, who could guarantee that Donghu would not quickly annex the Xiongnu.
Tallinn's approach is nothing more than to prepare to preserve his strength, and after repelling the Yan army, he will have a strong military force to compete with Tamu.
In addition, if the two of them either plan to leave a way to retreat, or plan for the future, whether they continue to fight or defect to the Yan army, they will have the right to speak if they have a strong army.
Tuobyan and Tallinn have not spoken on the surface, but according to Tuobayan's cunning and cunning, Tallinn has Zhuolig by his side, a person who is very deep in the city, and the two will definitely not show their hole cards easily unless they have to.
After really experiencing the war, Borchi found that no matter Tuoba Yan or Tallinn's ulterior motives, they would only harm others and themselves in the end, so that the entire grassland would fall into the hands of the Yan army and become the horse breeding farm of the Yan country.
Most of the members of the tribes will become slaves of the Yan army.
Therefore, he had to plan for himself, and would rather die in battle than be a slave of the Yan army.
Hearing this, Zha Suhe's face was heavy, he raised his head and pursed his dry lips, and said in a hoarse voice: "Lord Wang, the last general is incompetent, despises the Yan army, and has been calculated by the Yan army twice, causing serious casualties to the tribal cavalry!" ”
He didn't dare to directly mention the losses of the tribe's cavalry, for fear that Borchi would be angry and cut him.
The tribe is as old as women and children, all controlled by the Yan army, they have no resources to recruit new soldiers at all, and every time one person dies in battle, it means that the number of tribal cavalry is decreasing.
Moreover, tens of thousands of people died in this battle. Weakened the Horde again.
Borchi waved his hand and asked in a daze, "How many casualties are there?" "He doesn't want to listen to these useless words, can an apology make up for the losses of the cavalry?
"Zach led 10,000 people to annihilation, the main army is less than 15,000 people, and there are many wounded!" Za Suhe was struggling, the casualties of the tribal cavalry this time were too great, and the 70,000 cavalry under the Bol Red Tent were basically all disabled, completely losing the opportunity to make a comeback.
When Borchi heard this, he stared straight at Zasuhe, his eyes were full of anger, his cheeks and flesh twitched, and he didn't speak for a long time.
He estimated that the casualties were very large, but he never thought that there were only more than 10,000 cavalry left under the account, so what was the use of leaving such a small number of cavalry?
However, he didn't blame Zha Suhe, at that time, even he felt that Zha Suhe led his troops to have a chance to annihilate the main force of the Yan army, but who knew that the other party hid from the mountains and seas, but broke through the defense line he had temporarily formed and quickly surrounded the Zha Suhe army.
In the face of the blade soldiers, he was also not sure to escape, and now that the cavalry has suffered a large number of losses, it can only be said that the killing speed of the Yan army is too fast.
After a long time, Borchi opened his dry lips and said, "How many coalition forces are left?" ”
Zha Suhe did not hesitate and said: "Except for the 30,000 cavalry who escaped from the battle with the prince and escaped safe and sound, the 20,000 cavalry led by Mu Kun are not much left, and the number of cavalry in the camp does not exceed 40,000 at present!" ”
200,000 cavalry, the end of the First World War, only more than 70,000 remained, the corners of Bol's red mouth twitched slightly, and gradually closed his eyes, looking very helpless.
The total number of cavalry of the various tribes in the steppe is only more than 500,000, and the first encounter with the Yan army, it was lost more than 100,000, and the living force was seriously hit.
If the fight continues in this way, even if the grassland coalition forces win by luck in the future, all the young and middle-aged laborers will die on the battlefield, and the old and weak women and children alone, how will the tribes continue?
"Send the news of the battlefield back, next, what to do, we wait patiently!" 30,000 cavalry, against more than 100,000 Yan troops, is simply a joke, only to insist on holding the troops and waiting for reinforcements.
Zasuhe nodded silently, he knew Borchi's mood, there were a small number of black sheep, which led to the defeat of the army, Borchi was sorry for the casualties of the cavalry under his tent, and he must have begun to doubt whether the alliance between the tribes was reliable.
Otherwise, the next time you fight with the Yan army, if there is a black sheep again, it will most likely cause a catastrophe of extermination.
In Yunxia Mountain, after the tribal coalition army withdrew, Xu Hu cleaned up the battlefield with the ironclad infantry and began to rebuild the defense line destroyed by the coalition army.
In addition, according to Hou Mingfeng's requirements, he collected the war horses left over by the coalition forces on the battlefield, there were five or six thousand, many of the war horses only had flesh wounds, and they would naturally recover after a little recovery, and Hou Mingfeng was ready to keep them for great use.
When night falls, the insects hiding in the grass make various sounds, and they look particularly crisp under the night sky.
At night, the Yan army, which fought for half a day, had dinner, and went into the military tent early to rest.
Hou Mingfeng, Zhao Hongru, Lin Hu, Lin Shi, Xu Hu and others did not rest, their expressions were full of joy of victory, and they were also a little worried.
In today's battle, there is no need for Hou Mingfeng to design, leading the blade soldiers to Yunxia Mountain to provoke the coalition army, and he has severely damaged the coalition army, which is really beyond everyone's expectations.
The victory came earlier than expected, which meant that the time to face the coalition forces was two or three days earlier than Lin Feng's deployment, and it was difficult to predict whether the cavalry of all directions would receive the news.
The next step was to face the coalition forces that had arrived at Yunxia Mountain, which made the five people present a little worried.
After dinner, replenishing his strength, outside the tent, beside the bonfire, Hou Mingfeng held a grinding stone, sharpened the dull war saber after the battle, and said in a solemn tone: "Things are going more smoothly than we expected, but the situation we face next is the most difficult." ”
They were forced to defeat the Borchi tribe, which was regarded as the deployment of defeating the coalition army and attracting the main army of the Woma Plain to Yunxia Mountain.
Next, the allied forces will arrive at Yunxia Mountain and unite to attack the Yan army.
If the emperor and others led the cavalry and did not arrive at the predetermined position on time, or if there was a slight accident, the general of Yunxia Mountain would need to face hundreds of thousands of coalition troops alone, and the difficulty of the battle would increase a lot.
Whether to win or not, not to mention, self-insurance alone has become the main problem.
"Before leaving, we roughly estimated the number of cavalry of the various tribes outside the Saiwai, and the annihilation of more than 100,000 people on the other side this time will not hurt the organs for the tribal coalition army, but it will also hurt the muscles and bones, and the situation of the other party will not be too good." Zhao Hongru naturally knew what Hou Mingfeng was worried about. However, he considered it from the aspect of the tribal alliance, so that he could more intuitively analyze the specific number of the tribal alliance.
Hou Mingfeng very much agreed with Zhao Hongru's statement that the biggest advantage of the tribal alliance army is that it is familiar with the grassland terrain, but it may not surpass the Yan army in terms of the number of troops and combat effectiveness.
Many wars have shown that the tribal alliance is not the opponent of the Yan army, as long as various means are used to effectively annihilate the participants of the tribal alliance, the opponent's strength will gradually be exhausted, and next, it will be the world of the Yan army.
It's a pity that it's still the same problem, the bladed warriors and the ironclad infantry will definitely be able to hold Yunxia Mountain in a desperate battle, but in this way, the two elite troops of the Yan Kingdom will also suffer heavy losses.
Even if the tribal alliance is defeated in the future, the Yan State will not gain more than it loses, and it will greatly affect the pace of the Yan State to move south.
Brushing his long hair fluttering in front of his forehead, Hou Mingfeng pondered for a moment and said again: "The weakness of the coalition forces is not only the reduction of the number of combatants, at present, we cannot spread news to disintegrate the other side, but we can use powerful attacks to disintegrate the other side in battle. In today's battle, if it weren't for the fact that some of the cavalry were not moving forward, the tribal coalition would not have been defeated so badly, I am really sorry for the command art of Borchi's battle, but it also proves from the side that the tribal coalition army is not monolithic. ”
"That's right, we can take advantage of the grievances and hatreds of the tribes of the grassland, take advantage of the other party's fear of war, and make a big fuss!" Zhao Hongru added, and then asked: "General Hou, I heard that there are also ironclad cavalry in the coalition army, whether this news is true and reliable, regardless of whether the strength of the coalition army is strong or not, if there are iron cavalry in the grassland, the combat effectiveness will definitely not be weak, if the other party participates in the war, I think it is necessary to destroy the grassland iron cavalry first, so as to disintegrate the will of the cavalry of various tribes, and do not fight and surrender the army!" ”
I have never seen the iron cavalry in the grassland, but the power of the ironclad cavalry of the Yan Kingdom, Zhao Hongru has seen it with his own eyes, if he encounters the ironclad infantry to contend with it, he will not occupy any advantage, only be killed.
It is also very effective against cavalry, so if it is clear that there are ironclad cavalry in the grassland, which can threaten the Yan army's infantry at the same time, you have to guard against it.
"That's right, there are indeed iron cavalry in the tribe, the most elite cavalry under the command of Antila, the king of Donghu, after the second division of Donghu, all of them were inherited by the second prince Ta Mu." The first time he went deep into the grassland, the most dangerous time, was Zhuo Lige led the royal court iron cavalry, and his tribal cavalry, formed three defenses in the grassland, ready to encircle the emperor and him, the two led the army to flee to kill the tiger's mouth, the emperor made a clever move, secretly killed the tiger's mouth, and escaped a catastrophe.
Therefore, others don't know the existence of the royal court's iron cavalry, how can Hou Mingfeng not know that one of the goals of going deep into the grassland this time is to annihilate this force that almost pushed the emperor to a desperate situation with him.
