Chapter 1000: The Battle of the Prairie (16)

"Are you Han?" Gao Yang looked at the envoys in front of him, who were sent to the left, dressed in authentic barbarian attire, and asked in surprise.

Originally, there was no difference between them and the barbarians in their attire, and these Han people showed their details as soon as they opened their mouths. And Gao Yang's inquiry also made them not know what to say.

"Huh." Gao Yang's body slowly leaned back, stretched out his fingers and tapped lightly on the table in front of him. There was a sharp look flashing in his slightly narrowed eyes, looking at the two devils with their hair scattered and their left buttons. There was a faint smile on the surface, but in fact, his slightly trembling fingers had betrayed his anger at the moment.

"Go back to the big handsome." The leader of the two devils was obviously a knowledgeable fellow, and before he entered the big tent of the Chinese army, he saw the big curtain standing outside the big tent, which symbolized the highest honor of the martial arts. Know that this person in front of you is not a general, but a commander!

"We were indeed Han people before, but now we have returned to the king of Tanshihuai. This time, I came to ...... on the order of King Tanshihuai," the words of the leading two devils with some discernment were interrupted by Gao Yang before he finished speaking.

"Alright." Gao Yang lowered his eyelids and waved his hand impatiently to interrupt his words. With an indifferent expression, he said, "Drag them out and hang them." ”

"Whoa!"

The guards in the big tent immediately responded in unison, and quickly surrounded them and took down all the two devils.

"Handsome! Handsome!! The two devils who didn't finish their words were all dumbfounded. They can naturally understand the Chinese language, and when they know that they are going to be hanged, who can calm down? All of them frantically shouted loudly, "The two countries are at war, don't kill them!" ”

"Stop!"

Gao Yang shouted loudly to stop the guards who were about to drag these two devils away. The eyes of everyone in the big tent of the Chinese army were instantly focused on Gao Yang's body.

Slowly opened his eyes, and there was a cold Gao Yang in his eyes, with a casual smile on the corner of his mouth, and said indifferently, "Forget." ”

"Whew~" The two devils quietly breathed a sigh of relief. I was almost scared to death just now.

"You're just traitors, it's too cheap for you to hang." Gao Yang's next words instantly pushed them into the abyss: "Go to the outside of the barracks and find a place to bury them all." In the future, when you meet such a person, you will all handle it the same. ”

"!!"

The guards dragged them out of the Chinese army's tent amid the screams of several two devils. Not to mention this era, even after a thousand years, there are still countless people who have become traitors one after another.

"I really don't know what to say." Gao Yang shook his head. I feel a little helpless about the fantasy of sandalwood locust. I took more than 200,000 troops out of the fortress, is it because I came to play in the mountains and water to make soy sauce? How many resources does it take to dispatch an army of this size in this era? How much effort does it take? You want me to retire from the army in a few words, who would want to? And also sent two devils?

After learning that Tanshi Huai sent messengers from all directions to gather the people. Gao Yang immediately ordered the whole army to reduce the speed of the march. While resting, he walked slowly towards the royal court of Tanshi Huai. Give him more time to gather the Xianbei men.

The enemy took the initiative to help you assemble the target, and Gao Yang naturally couldn't live up to Tanshi Huai's kind help.

At the foot of the Khan Mountain, on the bank of the Qiushui River.

A large number of herdsmen recruited from all directions, camped in tents, and almost obscured both sides of the Qiu River. The dense and huge tents stretched into a continuous area, stretching to the distant place where heaven and earth meet. Under the blue sky and white clouds, countless herdsmen rode horses and tightly surrounded the royal court of Tanshi Huai.

On the grassland lacking stone and timber, sandalwood locust has built a magnificent city. Although it can't be compared with the big cities of Handi. This city is a complete miracle in the grassland.

"Father Khan!" The recovered He Lian stood beside Tanshi Huai, looking at the magnificent huge military array in front of him, and his heart suddenly swelled with endless pride and ambition. shouted loudly: "Our Xianbei soldiers are strong and strong, and there are countless people under our command who control the strings. Such an army formation is enough to completely sweep away the Han army that dares to offend the majesty of his father Khan! ”

"Hmm." The corners of the sandalwood acacia that narrowed his eyes slightly showed a touch of smugness, and he nodded with satisfaction. Although he is a hero on the grassland, he is just a grassland man with no vision after all. His eyes could only see the grassland, but he couldn't see through the Han Empire in the vast mist!

The strength of the Central Plains nation is unimaginable to these barbarians. Why did countless ethnic groups try their best to turn themselves into Chinese people after entering China? The prosperity and wealth, civilization and prosperity of China are unimaginable to these barbarians who live under the poverty line all year round. This situation will continue until the Manchu Qing Dynasty enters the customs.

The appeal of Tanshi Huai to the Xianbei people is still extremely strong. As the big single of the Xianbei people, the prestige accumulated over the decades still allows him to gather a huge army formation of hundreds of thousands of people. An army of this size is definitely going all out for the steppe.

After the soldiers and horses under the command of Tanshi Huai were almost gathered, Gao Yang in the distance was not idle. More than 200,000 troops began to move forward slowly. They are the most elite beings of our time.

They were followed by an army of auxiliaries with a total of more than 100,000 people. Although they are auxiliaries, they are also well-equipped and have undergone rigorous training. A few years ago, he was definitely the best among the county soldiers everywhere.

The auxiliaries were constantly building concrete forts and avenues along the way. These will be the basis for the Han Empire to rule the grasslands in the future. A large number of captured herders began their first journey of labor. Under the watchful eye of sharp knives. worked hard and worked again until he was exhausted. But if you can't stand it and want to escape, you will inevitably be hung high on the wooden pole next to the construction site the next day, becoming a benchmark to warn others.

The auxiliaries swept the grasslands and captured the herdsmen. They are like giant spider webs, and no herdsman, including their livestock, can escape from them.

The soldiers and horses under Gao Yang's command were all recruited, and the excellent soldiers recruited were sent to different regiments after rigorous training. After 10 years of service, you can choose to retire, or continue to serve until the age of 40 and you will be automatically discharged before you can reach the first level of team rank. They receive a hefty stipend. The profession is to kill people and fight wars. This is completely different from the Xianbei army, which is dominated by herdsmen.

Such a huge military array on both sides had already started a contact battle covered by the battlefield a hundred miles away from the Tanshi Huai Royal Court before the actual engagement.

Squad after squad of cavalry crisscrossed each other and fought each other, and in the small area, both sides committed heavy troops to engage in bloody battles. Trying to seize the battlefield first. Xianbei people occupy a favorable location. The Han army, on the other hand, occupies the sky, and their superiority in training and equipment is unparalleled.

The small and brutal fierce battles became higher and higher as the Gaoyang army gradually approached. A large amount of life is quickly devoured. There are several small tribes under the command of Tanshi Huai, and after receiving the order to cover the battlefield, they have been cleaned up in just a few days. The tribal leaders who were lucky enough to survive ran to the king's tent in Tanshihuai and cried, which immediately lowered the morale of the Xianbei people by a large margin.

"Oh~~~" Tanshi Huai knocked the blood-stained gorgeous armor in front of him, frowned tightly, and asked sharply, "Those Han soldiers are wearing this kind of armor, can't they?" ”

"It's better to return the big order." A Xianbei man with a strong face, a majestic body, and a full beard wiped his face vigorously, and replied loudly with anger, "All the Han soldiers I met were wearing this kind of armor, and they all held sharp weapons, and they were able to shoot a large number of crossbow arrows at once!" ”

"Hiss~~~" The strong man's words immediately made the heads of the various tribes in the Golden Horde gasp. They are all old men who have been in battle for a long time, so they naturally know what it means to have strong armor and sharp weapons on the battlefield. What's more, the big man said that the Han army he met was all so equipped!

"Panic what!" In the face of strong pressure, the sandalwood locust that has been reinvigorated is still very deterrent. Even those Tuoba tribes, Murong tribes, and others who were not convinced by him did not dare to openly oppose him. His voice immediately silenced the noisy Golden Horde.

"Click~Click~" Tanshi Huai quickly assembled the captured chain crossbow, put it in the quiver box, and walked outside the golden tent.

'Oh~噌~噌~' Ten sharp crossbow arrows shot out in response and shot at a large wooden stake in the distance. When I took the stake and took a look, the crossbow bolts made of stainless steel were nearly half into the wood!

At this time, even the sandalwood locust was frightened. The people on horseback are good at riding and shooting, and they can naturally see and understand the power of this kind of chain crossbow.

"Helian Bota is definitely the most elite soldier and horse in the Han army, maybe it is the personal soldiers around the commander of the Han army!" Tanshi Huai loudly comforted the tribal nobles who began to be restless, and shouted, "There are definitely not many Han soldiers who can be equipped with these things!" Don't worry. Helian Bota defeated this elite Han army, and I decided to reward him with three horses and twenty oxen! They will all fight like Helian Botta! ”

Tan Shihuai did not say that Helian Botta's more than 700 cavalry raided a Han cavalry of no more than 50 people. After losing more than 100 people, it was not easy to leave three Han soldiers. This is not counting the large number of herdsmen who were chased and lost all the way by the Han army who reacted quickly. For the nobles of the steppe, the herdsmen were the least valuable things.

After finally calming down the stirring military spirit for a while, Tanshi Huai immediately found the leaders of the craftsmen who were captured by him from the Han land.

"If you go back to the Great Khan, we can't do this kind of thing." One of the leading blacksmiths said after putting the chain crossbow back.

Tan Shi Huai's brows jumped, and his eyes instantly sharpened. Before he could say anything more, the other blacksmiths had already put back the armor, weapons, horse harness, personal equipment, and other items. The answer is pretty much the same, most of the things can't be done. (To be continued)
