Caught in a protracted war, Wei Zeng has been gathering strength, and this time he went north to attack the Zhan Tu people and then moved. Wei Zeng had also found out the situation of the Zhan Tu people, and Asa, who united the Zhan Tu people, was the target of his expedition.

Yaodong's Ding brothers have been eyeing each other, and they have not been idle all these years; After Zhang Ling defeated Du Feng and occupied the southern part of Anyun, he also began to be a little restless, creating friction on the border of Yanbei from time to time.

This time to attack the Occupy the Turks, Wei Zeng can only fight quickly, even if he can't capture Asa, he must sweep Mobei and destroy the foundation of the Occupy Turks.

Gu Chayi led 10,000 cavalry, cautiously along the way, and after encountering the horse team of the Zhan Tu people, he surveyed the terrain and made sure that there was no ambush, so he led the army to pursue the Zhan Tu people.

The Zhantu people were defeated at the first touch, and they were defeated by Gu Cha. But this was only the vanguard of the Janturists, and Asa led 100,000 Janturist rangers and soon besieged them from all sides. As soon as Gu Cha felt the tremendous pressure, he asked Wei Zeng for reinforcements.

"How is the battle ahead, and what are the movements of the enemy?" Wei Zeng asked when he saw a cavalryman returning.

"General Qiyu, the ancient commander has already fought with Beihu, and now he is pursuing Beihu. However, a large number of Beihu rangers were rushing in this direction, and the ancient commander was worried that he would be surrounded by Beihu and asked the general for support. ”

"Our main force is all infantry, and the enemy is all cavalry. If we rush over to support like this, we will be pinned down by the enemy. If the enemy is given an opportunity to cut off our army, it will be a dangerous situation. I will form a military formation in front to meet Beihu, you inform Cha Yi, let him find a way to lure the enemy over, and fighting Beihu head-on is not our opponent. Wei Zeng thought for a moment and then ordered.

The cavalry received Wei Zeng's order and did not stop. Report back to Guchayi immediately.

As soon as Gu Cha received Wei Zeng's reply, he already understood Wei Zeng's plan, so he ordered the horse team to shoot while fighting, and retreated to Wei Zeng's main army.

When Asa saw Gucha retreating, he did not hesitate and ordered tens of thousands of Zhantu rangers to follow in pursuit. He himself took the main cavalry with him. Follow behind, ready to respond to the men in front of you.

This time, Wei Zeng's troops attacked Mobei in two ways, all the way from Yanbei to the north, and all the way from Yao to the east and west. The troops heading north were led by Wei Zeng himself, with a total strength of 80,000; The troops marching west were led by Chaogui, with a total strength of 60,000.

Wei Zeng looked into the distance, Gu Chayi's banner appeared in the sky, and the dust was flying in the rear, obviously there were many pursuers chasing after him.

Wei Zengling waved his flag. The crossbowmen came to the front of the formation, and after the horse team of Guchayi entered the formation, they shot arrows to stop the Zhantu people who were chasing from behind.

Faced with a large net of arrows, the Zhan Tu people did not dare to move forward and retreated to safety.

"You have also seen that the Mobei Flying Eagles are waiting for us to come forward and die. The crossbows and heavy infantry of the Central Plains are not something we can resist head-on. But are we really going to be stupid enough to come forward and die? Tell the warriors to split out and shoot around the enemy's flank in two directions, while the others go to the front to attract the enemy's crossbows. Remembered. Keep your distance. After Asa arrived with the main force, he looked at the large array set up by Wei Zeng and said.

The Janturians were under the orders of Asa. Split two ways to outflank Wei Zeng's army, tens of thousands of rangers with bows and arrows guerrilla, trying to kill and wound Wei Zeng's army; Tens of thousands of other people approached the front of Wei Zeng's army formation, attracting the crossbowmen of the northern Yanbei army to shoot, but these cavalry were very evacuated and moved left and right. Greatly reduces the crossbow's target. Asa personally led 10,000 iron cavalry and 20,000 elites, without any action, he was waiting for Wei Zeng's army to appear in chaos before launching a fatal blow.

"The enemy is wasting time with us, and in this way they want to deplete the morale of our army. The enemy was all cavalry. If we can't hold our breath and go in pursuit, we will inevitably be led by the nose by the enemy, and then we will be in danger. For the sake of today's plan, only Chayi's cavalry can break the current situation. Wei Zeng said.

"The general is right, in the past few years, the Zhan Turks were scattered, and if the 100,000 troops gathered together did not attack immediately, they would fight separately. That's why we were able to defeat the enemy head-on. But now it's different, the enemy is united, there's plenty of time for us to spend it. If we can't break this situation, we will indeed be consumed by Beihu. For now, the ancient commander can lead the cavalry to protect the flank, intercept the attacking Zhan Tu, and the crossbowmen can cooperate with the infantry to advance. As long as our infantry is not exposed to the enemy's bow and arrow, there will be no rout due to heavy casualties; As long as we can get close to the enemy, with our strong bows and heavy infantry, we can defeat the enemy. Jiang Luqing analyzed.

"You're right, that's all you can do. It seems that this man named Asa is not simple, and this campaign may be a little troublesome. But the final victory is still ours. Wei Zeng still said confidently.

"That's nature, as long as we can defeat the enemy in front of us, Beihu will only have a dead end. Brother Yu has already led the army to directly attack the rear of Beihu, and soon Beihu will catch fire in the backyard. When the time comes, even if this Asa has three heads and six arms, he will not be able to escape the fate of defeat. Jiang Luqing said.

Under Wei Zeng's orders, Gu Chayi's horse team was dispatched again to protect the flanks of the army and protect the infantry from harm. The crossbowmen in the front row covered the advance of the infantry and pressed towards the main army of Asa.

Seeing that Wei Zeng's army was advancing with the infantry inside, Asa had no intention of fighting a decisive battle with Wei Zeng, so he retreated and attacked guerrillas.

Wei Zeng realized that there was no way to go on like this, and he could only find a way to tempt the enemy to attack in order to defeat the enemy in a melee parry.

"Stop the pursuit and retreat to the rear camp. Let Chayi's horse team concentrate on attacking the enemy on the left flank, revealing a hole in the right flank, making the enemy think that we have panicked. Wei Zengjian saw that after a long period of fighting, the Zhantu people still had no intention of launching a general attack, and although the infantry of his army was protected inside, their morale would decline for a long time, and they would also be taken advantage of by the enemy. So Wei Zeng planned to deliberately expose a flaw to lure the enemy to attack, and then defeat the enemy in close combat.

In fact, Asa was already very urgent, thinking that he would kill and injure the enemy through guerrilla attacks, and then defeat Wei Zeng in one fell swoop while the enemy couldn't hold his breath. But the troops led by Wei Zeng were well-trained, both advancing and retreating. It's all in order. Crossbowmen, infantry, and cavalry worked closely with each other, which also left Asa without a chance to attack.

At this moment, the northern army of Yanbei, which had been slowly advancing towards Asa, began to retreat, and Gu Chayi's horse team tried all its strength to block the Zhantu rangers on the left flank. The right flank of the Yanbei army was exposed. Under the blow of the right-wing Zhantu rangers, the army of northern Yanbei was disorganized, and the army formation, which had always been tightly organized, revealed a big gap.

"The enemy has retreated, and it seems that they will not be able to hold it first. Warriors, the time has come to defeat the enemy, and the time has come to kill Wei Zeng and wash away the shame on our heads. Charge ahead, dragging the enemy's crossbowmen; The others followed me to attack the enemy's right flank. As long as the enemy's formation is torn apart, victory is ours. Seeing that Yanbei's army was exposed, Asa's eyes lit up, and he gave the order to attack.

"Haha, Beihu can't hold his breath. It's good, let them attack it. We're not afraid of them at all. "Wei Zeng saw that Asa was leading a large army to attack, and asked the infantry to form a dense formation, and to the Zhantu people who attacked the military formation. Besieged and gone.

Asa wanted to defeat Wei Zeng's army in one fell swoop, but was surrounded by infantry. The superiority of cavalry was difficult to bring into play. The cavalry that occupied the Turks, most of them light cavalry, did not take advantage of the slightest advantage in melee combat. In the face of the siege of the elite infantry of Yanbei, the Zhan Tu people failed.

Under the protection of his personal guards, Asa fought his way out of the siege and fled north with tens of thousands of soldiers.

"The hateful enemy is clearly in disarray. also revealed such a big flaw, why would I still lose? Could it be that we can't defeat Wei Zeng if we occupy the Turks? Asa said indignantly.

"Wang, I have heard that it is said to see if the people of the Central Plains are in chaos. Not by looking at the formation, but by looking at their flags. As long as their banners are down, there is no danger in pursuing them; But if their flag hadn't fallen, even if it looked chaotic, the Central Plains people would have been able to quickly recover their formation. A Zhantu nobleman said.

"Then why didn't you say it earlier? You're only saying it now, are you looking at my jokes? Asa said angrily.

"I ...... I just thought it was a little strange when I was fighting, and I only think about it now. I didn't mean not to say it. The king is our hero of the Zhan Tu people, and Wei Zeng is our enemy, how could I deliberately watch the king's jokes? The Zhantu nobleman explained.

"Then you have to be smart in the future, don't wait for failure to think about everything. Originally, he wanted to defeat Wei Zeng in one fell swoop, and then he could take the opportunity to attack the Central Plains, but it seems that everything is not working now. However, the Mobei grassland is our occupation of the Turks, and the Central Plains people have only a dead end when they come here. We still have tens of thousands of people, and with their familiarity with the terrain of Mobei, we can go around in circles with Wei Zeng. Look for an opportunity to attack their grain convoys, as long as they have no food and grass, they will definitely withdraw from the grassland. Give me a few more years of development, and I will definitely be able to beat Wei Zeng. Asa was not reconciled.

"But in addition to these enemies from Yanbei, there are also many enemies from Guanbei. Wei Zeng wants to seize our pasture and cattle and sheep this time, if there is no pasture and cattle and sheep, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to develop. The Zhantu nobleman worried.

"You, are you a person who can't get along with me? Didn't I say that the enemy must be driven out of the steppe? If you talk more, I'll kill you. Asa was furious and struck him with a whip.

The nobles of Zhantu were dissatisfied, but they had to shut up and did not dare to disobey Asa anymore.

Wei Zeng defeated the main force led by Asa, and then continued to sweep towards the depths of Mobei. Wei Zeng not only had to defeat the Zhan Tu people, but also completely eliminate the threat of the Zhan Tu people.

"Our side is progressing quite well, and it will soon be able to advance to the depths of Mobei, where there are many deserts and Gobi. We are not familiar with the terrain there, and we should be cautious if we want to pursue Beihu. As long as Yu Chaogui's side is also going well, we will first clear the grassland in the south. As long as they can destroy the foundation of the Zhan Tu people, even if they can't defeat them completely, they won't want to recover in a few years. Wei Zeng commanded.

"Then what does the general plan to do with the Zhan tribes? Do you move them to the Yanbei border as before, or kill them all? Jiang Luqing said with a cold gaze.

"I see what you mean. The Yanbei border can't bear too much population, and so many Zhantu people gathering together will indeed give birth to chaos. But there is no need to cause too much killing, and there will be no problem with the Kanbei that we have already occupied, scattering them and planting them everywhere. Wei Zengyi frowned and replied.

"The general is merciful, but he still has to be wary of the Zhan Tu people. It is better to plant them near the garrisons of various places and teach them to farm. On the one hand, it can prevent them from rebelling, and on the other hand, it can increase the number of people in Tuntian. As for a few horse farms, we still arrange for our own people to be in charge, and the fewer people who occupy the Turks, the better. Jiang Luqing said.

"What you say is good, just do what you say. There is no need to cause too much killing, but the Janturians should not be left to their wreck. Wei Zeng agreed.

After deciding how to deal with the Zhantu people who had been ambushed, Wei Zeng led his army to continue to advance northward.

At the same time, Yu Chaogui also led 60,000 horses to sweep away the Mobei grassland.

Yu Chaogui's army did not have large-scale cavalry, but fortunately, the main direction of attack of the Zhan Tu people was not here in Chaogui. With infantry and crossbowmen, against the scattered Turquoise rangers, Yu Chaogui was not hindered along the way.

It's just that the actions of Yu Chaogui's army are very obvious, and the Zhantu tribe has discovered the movements of Yu Chaogui's army early, and they ride horses to avoid it.

"General Wei told us to destroy the foundations of the Zhantu people. The people of Champun have people, horses, and pastures. To defeat the Janturs, either kill or capture their men, or seize their cattle, sheep and horses, or destroy their pastures. But now the Zhan Tu people have run away on horseback, leaving this pasture for us. When we retreat, they will reoccupy the pasture. Isn't it in vain that we march in this way? Yu Chaogui said with a wry smile.

"Brother Yu, don't worry, the Zhan Tu people can't run far. Our army attacked in two directions, and had forced the Zhan Turks to flee to the west and to the north. The westernmost part is a desert Gobi, and the northernmost is a bitter cold land. Those who are waiting for the Zhan Tu people to run will not be able to run, and we will naturally catch up with them. As for this pasture, it is a withered yellow patch after autumn, and a fire can turn it to ashes. When winter comes, there is no forage, and starvation can starve the Zhantu people to death. Huang Yufei replied.

"That's what General Wei told me the same way. But I always feel that fighting with the Occupy Turks on the frontal battlefield and defeating the Occupy Turians is the pleasure. It's just catching people and setting fires, and it's really not interesting. Yu Chaogui complained.

"The Janturians have been harassing our borders, and since the unification of the Asa Tun, tens of thousands of cavalry have moved south, and we have been annoyed. Only in this way can the threat of the Occupy Turks be completely removed. Huang Yufei persuaded.

"That's the reason, let's move on. Hopefully, we can meet some big troops, so let's have a good fight. (To be continued.) )
