Chapter 212: Sneak Attack on Xianbei (I)
When Gao Shun arrived in Ningcheng, he brought nearly a hundred junior military attaches and fifteen middle-level military attachés and handed them over to Cheng Li and Tian Feng for appointment. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info and ordered Cheng Li to preside over the important task of absorbing Wuhuan in Liaoxi County and Wuhuan in Youbeiping County, and Tian Feng was in charge of the defense of the three counties, closely monitoring the movements of the Xianbei people, and if they dared to attack, they must be dealt a fierce blow.
And Gao Shun only led Li Qiang from Ningcheng to the north, out of the Great Wall, and into the vast prairie.
This season, the temperature on the grassland has risen, and the grassland is green, which is a good time for grazing.
Gao Shun believed that the Xianbei people would not give up grazing in order to guard against the Han border army, otherwise, they would have a hard time spending the next winter; And as long as they dare to disperse their grazing, it is a good opportunity for him to sneak up on the grassland herdsmen.
I plan to spend a month, and I can't delay coming back to attend everyone's wedding; His purpose was not to seriously weaken the strength of the Xianbei people, he didn't want to go too deep into the grassland, he just wanted to cause them a huge panic, so that they would not have time to go south to plunder the Han frontier and maintain a state of peace or confrontation.
If you send a large army to the steppe for a long run, the most difficult thing is not the fight between the two sides, but the supply of logistics and how to find the nomadic army in the vast steppe and fight with it.
At that time, limited by transportation capacity, the supply of a cavalry required at least 5 to 10 civilians to meet, and it required a lot of manpower and material resources, which was a piece of cake for Gao Shun.
The nomads are easy to move, when they learn that the Han army is coming, they will take the herdsmen, drive the cattle, sheep and horses, and transfer very conveniently, and their cavalry is like the wind, unpredictable, so that the Han army can not find their traces, when the Han army is tired or careless, the Han army will carry out a surprise attack.
These problems are not a problem for Gao Shun, first of all, he is two people, which is easy to conceal, and over time, he can gradually release cavalry, so that the enemy can not figure out how many enemies are coming, and it is difficult to guard against; More importantly, he has a systematic map, which can check the enemy's situation within a range of dozens of kilometers from the front and back, left and right, which can not only facilitate the sneak attack of the enemy, but also avoid being sneak attacked.
Even if he is surrounded, he can use the advantage of his horse to shake off his enemies and flee quickly.
Gao Shun and Li Qiang, the two of them, were bold, quietly touched the Great Wall, avoided the sporadic scouts of the Xianbei people, and hid in the endless grassland. Gao Shun was not prepared to kill people near the border line, so as not to cause the Xianbei people to counterattack the border army, but to move along the dividing line between the Budugen tribe and the central Xianbei, at least after advancing a hundred miles before he could start, and at the beginning, it might even cause a conflict between the Budugen tribe and the central Xianbei tribe.
When encountering a small Yiluo, you can dodge it, and when you encounter a single Xianbei person, you will also take the opportunity to play a black hand, the horse is exchanged for the system, and the corpse is taken away, leaving no trace.
In two days, the two of them traveled nearly 100 kilometers and decided to start working.
The initial target was the Budugen tribe on the western side of the tribal border.
I have had the experience of sneaking up on the Huns and the Xianbei Settlements in the west, and this time with the help of a systematic map, it is even more handy.
Looking at the map, there is a buffer zone of about 10 kilometers, which is not grazing, which is convenient for Gao Shun and others to hide. On the west side, about 20 kilometers away, there will be a grazing Xianbei camp, and in the inland Xianbei Yi is not large, there are not many red dots displayed, and the number of people is very small, which is convenient for them to sneak attack.
The route chosen by Gao Shun is relatively arid, with few rivers and few herders and livestock to feed, which is suitable for a few people to carry out sneak attacks.
Before the sneak attack, Li Qiang asked: "My lord, what should I do if there are enslaved Han people?" ”
Gao Shun has always been embarrassed by this matter, if he rescues them, it is inconvenient to continue to sneak attack other towns, and it is easy to leak the news, if he does not save them, they are also Han people, and they are a little unbearable.
Seeing that Gao Shun was embarrassed, Li Qiang suggested: "My lord, why don't you give each of them a war horse and dry food, and let them return to Ningcheng along the buffer zone." ”
"Hehe, let's not talk about whether they will leak the news, do you think they can return to Ningcheng alive? In the last 100 kilometers, they could not escape without our help. ”
"So how do you deal with it?"
Gao Shun thought for a while and said: "The slaves captured by the Xianbei people, unless they are captured officers in the army, many craftsmen and others are treated well, they are already committed to Xianbei, which is very different from the slaves of the Huns, so let's kill them, it's a big deal, let's kill more Xianbei people to avenge them." ”
Li Qiang has no good way, so he can only do so.
The first target chosen for the attack should be a family, a total of seven people, raising nearly a thousand sheep, Gao Shun estimates that they may be slaves grazing for the Xianbei nobles.
Gao Shun released 4 middle-level military attachés in the system, and equipped them with high-quality horses, spears, and bows and arrows.
Gao Shun and Li Qiang were each in charge of one direction, and two middle-level military attachés were in charge of one direction, surrounding the tents of the Xianbei people from four directions.
The four middle-level military attachés were very active and worked very hard, and before Gao Shun could make a move, the four of them shot five people, and these Xianbei people had no power to fight back in front of the intermediate military attachés, and they didn't need Gao Shun to make a move at all.
A person who escaped on horseback was chased by Li Qiang, his horse was fast, and the Xianbei people were unable to escape at all.
The rest was a teenager, but he was not afraid or resisted, but looked at Gao Shun and the others with angry eyes.
Gao Shun waved his hand, and the child was killed.
Then collect the sheep and horses, and then exchange them for points, and put all the tents, carriages, food and other materials into the space ring and take them away. Four mid-level military attachés erased all traces.
The first sortie scored less than 500 points, and Gao Shun was greatly disappointed, which was far worse than the harvest in Xianbei in the west.
Li Qiang saw Gao Shun's expression and comforted: "Lord, this is already very good, our goal is not to plunder, but to create chaos, this family must be the slaves of the nobles, how can they have property?" It's a lot of work to get these things, and it's not a waste of time. ”
Gao Shun could only comfort himself with the same words, if he wanted to rob the points, he would not choose such a remote and arid area, he should choose a place with abundant water and grass.
That night, camp in the Xianbei camp.
Li Qiang asked, "Lord, what is the next step?" If you continue to the north, the results will not be very large, and in such an arid area, not many livestock can be fed, and the herds are very small. ”
"Execute as planned, continue to the north, turn east after reaching the edge of the desert, plunder the central Xianbei, and return to the Great Wall from the territory of the eastern Xianbei, where it is estimated that the harvest will be more."
On the morning of the next day, he encountered a slightly larger herd with ten Xianbei people, and Gao Shun released four middle-level military attaches from the system, successfully annihilating the Xianbei people and seizing 1,500 sheep.
In the following six days, Gao Shun and ten other people advanced all the way to the north, plundering three or four small camps every day, and the speed was very fast, and they could advance more than 50 kilometers every day, successfully completing the initial goal of the trip.
worked for seven days in a row, but the harvest was pitiful; made Gao Shun full of expectations for plundering the central and eastern Xianbei settlements.
