On May 6, 426 of the Great Jin Dynasty, more than a month has passed since Liu Ji led his troops to destroy the Loufu Cangxiong Tribe, and Liu Ji has not yet received the reward from the Great Jin court, in fact, Liu Ji has no idea what reward the court will give him, and he does not expect to get any reward from the court. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the past month, Liu Ji and his generals have been stepping up the training of the battalions under his command to prepare for the counterattack of the grassland Hu people.

Liu Ji didn't think that if he led his troops to destroy the Loufu Cangxiong tribe, he would deter all the tribes in the grassland, and he and the grassland Hu people would definitely have a big battle to fight.

Sure enough, as Liu Ji expected, early in the morning of 6 May, several scouts sent to the grassland to investigate intelligence brought back a very shocking news to Liu Ji, so Liu Ji hurriedly summoned 17 lieutenants of the 13th battalion of cavalry and 4th battalion of infantry to discuss countermeasures at the county government in Chengyin County.

Liu Ji said to the thirteen cavalry captains and four infantry captains with a solemn face: "We have received reliable information, Shuerha, the great Khan of the Wuheng tribe, sent a message to all the tribes of the grassland about a month ago, to form a grassland alliance army to crusade against our Chengyin army, and now this grassland alliance army has been formed on the bank of the Qiyun River where the Wuheng royal court is located, and it will pounce on our Chengyin army in the near future." ”

As soon as Liu Ji's voice fell, the thirteen cavalry captains Yang Zaixing, Zhou Kai, Hua Xiong, Su Lie, Wu Liang, Qu Tutong, Le Jin, Yu Ban, Chen Wu, Pan Zhang, Zang Ba, Cao Xiu and Yan Yan, as well as the four infantry captains Le Yi, Wei Xiaokuan, Gao Shun and Xu Rong, many of them frowned.

Le Yi asked out loud: "Lord, how many soldiers and horses does this grassland alliance army have?" ”

Liu Ji said in a deep voice: "We haven't found out how many soldiers and horses this grassland coalition army has, and which nomads have joined, but since this coalition army was initiated by Wuheng Heng Khan, General Ben guessed that the number of this coalition army must not be small, and there will be hundreds of thousands of cavalry." ”

Su Lie said at this time: "We defeated the 90,000 troops of the Cangxiong tribe and the Qingyang tribe of the Lou Annoying tribe, and destroyed the Cangxiong tribe, Lou Annoying people must hate our Chengyin army to the core, this time Lou Annoying people will definitely join the coalition army, and the soldiers and horses sent will not be less, and the Wuheng people as the initiators of the coalition army, the soldiers and horses sent will not be less, just these two clans can easily gather hundreds of thousands of cavalry, and then counting those grassland tribes who join in the fun, the number of enemies that our Chengyin army faces this time may be very amazing!" ”

Su Lie's words made the brows of many lieutenants furrow even deeper, and now the thirteenth battalion of cavalry and the fourth battalion of infantry under Liu Ji, although relying on Liu Ji's means of envy, whether they are Jin or Hu, have been integrated into the collective of the Chengyin army, but after all, the training time of these 160,000 troops is only one month, the integration time is too short, and the combat effectiveness is not strong.

Once a major war broke out with hundreds of thousands of grassland Hu people, many captains did not have a bottom in their hearts.

Yang Zaixing suddenly said loudly: "Lord, we can't hide anyway, let's study how to deal with this grassland coalition army!" ”

Liu Ji nodded and said with a sigh: "The Hulu of the grassland really won't let us stop, it's true that as Zaixing said, we can't hide at all, let's talk about how to meet the enemy!" Ugh—"

Just when Liu Ji and his generals were discussing how to meet an unknown number of grassland coalition troops, the Qiyun River, where the Wuheng royal court is located, was already full of people at this moment, in addition to the soldiers and horses of the Wuheng royal court, in response to the Wuheng Heng Khan Shuerha's message, ready to crusade against the cavalry of the grassland of the Chengyin army, basically came, and May 6 was the day of the grassland alliance of the grassland alliance.

In a huge felt bag in the Wuheng royal court, Wuheng Heng Khan Shuerha said with a smile to dozens of representatives of various tribes in the grassland: "Today is a big day for our grassland, in order to eliminate the Jin army in Chengyin County, Jin State, our sixteen tribes gathered on the bank of the Qiyun River, officially formed a grassland coalition army, and fought against the spoiler who destroyed the peace of the grassland. ”

At this time, in the felt bag, in addition to the Wuheng Heng Khan Shuerha, Zuoxian Wang Tulai, Right Xianwang Minsu, Zuoyi Wang Duotuotai and Youyi Wang Duokon, the other 15 grassland ethnic groups, each ethnic group has more than two representatives to attend this meeting.

Lou Fu Great Khan Min Gray personally took Zuo Xian Wang Maoler, Zuo Yi Wang Hao Bu Ri and Right Yi Wang Sterlen, rushed to the Wuheng Royal Court to participate in the alliance, after all, the bear tribe of the Lou Fu clan was destroyed in the hands of the Chengyin army, this time to deal with the Chengyin army, the Lou Fu clan must do their best.

This time, in order to take revenge, the Lou Fu Great Khan Min Gray personally brought 50,000 elite cavalry from the Lou Fu Wang Ting tribe, the Zuo Xian King Maurer brought 40,000 Lou Fu cavalry, and the Right Yi King Sterleng also brought 40,000 Lou Fu cavalry, only the Zuo Yi Wang Hao Bu Ri only brought 20,000 Lou Fu cavalry this time because of the previous losses of the Qingyang tribe.

In this way, the number of troops participating in this alliance alone is as high as 160,000, which is no less than the entire army under Liu Ji's command.

And Wuheng Heng Khan Shuerha was originally going to send 80,000 troops from the Wuheng royal court, as well as 70,000 cavalry drawn from various tribes in Wuheng, a total of 150,000 troops to join the grassland coalition army that attacked the Jin army in Chengyin County.

However, after learning that Lou Annoying sent 160,000 cavalry this time, Wuheng Heng Khan Shuerha directly increased the 20,000 troops of Wuheng Wangting.

After all, this time the grassland tribes alliance was initiated by Shuerha, if the Wuheng tribe did not send the most troops, Shuerha would not be embarrassed to compete for the position of the leader of the grassland alliance.

The Wuheng and Lou Fu clans were the most powerful of the sixteen tribes in the grassland alliance, followed by the Rouran, Donghu and Dangxiang clans, all of whom sent 20,000 cavalry to participate in the alliance.

The strength of these three tribes on the grassland is no worse than that of the Wuheng and Loufu tribes, and they all belong to the second echelon of the nomadic tribes in the grassland, and the first echelon is only the Xiongnu, Xianbei and Khitan tribes.

The Xiongnu, Xianbei and Khitan did not send cavalry to participate in this alliance, and the name of Wuheng Heng Khan Shuerha did not work in the three most powerful ethnic groups in the grassland, and the Xiongnu, Xianbei and Khitan did not look down on the alliance initiated by Wuheng Heng Khan Shuerha.

Removing the five second-echelon nomads of Wuheng, Loufu, Rouran, Donghu and Dangxiang, the rest of the nomads of the Sixteen Tribes Grassland Alliance Army belong to small and medium-sized ethnic groups, and on the grassland, the strength belongs to the third echelon or the fourth echelon, and each has tens of thousands to thousands of cavalry, which came to the Wuheng Royal Court.

The peoples of the third echelon of the grassland can at least gather more than 100,000 cavalry, and even the grassland peoples of the fourth echelon can also gather tens of thousands of cavalry, and no matter how weak the grassland peoples are, there are no more peoples who are too weak to survive on the grasslands.
