On the banks of Hulun Lake, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and thousands of Rouran, Eilehu cavalry and Mo Nan cavalry were entangled together, and the two sides were inseparable. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info one of the young Yan army female generals dressed in fish scale armor was particularly brave, and countless beards fell on her left and right.

The sound of bows and crossbows vibrating, the sound of swords and guns clashing, the neighing of war horses and the muffled sound of limbs falling to the ground, the screams of wounds and the moans of dying before death, smeared the summer grassland with a layer of blood.

Since the beginning of the spring, the two Hulu of Mobei Rouran and Eile seem to be desperate to plunder Monan, and the Hulu of Monan have organized troops to resist in the various alliance flags, and at the same time ask for help from Liaodong south of the Great Wall.

After receiving the news that Rouran was heading south, Wei Shuo immediately ordered Shao Yuniang, the governor of Bazhou, and Yang Hu, the governor of Shuozhou, to lead their troops north, responsible for quelling the rebellion of Mobei Rouran and Ele.

After receiving an order from the Privy Council, Yang Hu led 20,000 troops to cross the Yin Mountain, intending to follow the footsteps of Wei Qing, the general of the Han Dynasty, across the Hanhai Desert for more than 1,000 miles, and directly raid the location of the royal tent of the Rouran tribe located in the middle of the Mongolian Plateau, on the bank of the Tula River, and on the west side of the Wolf Juxu.

Originally, this place was the residence of the Xiongnu Mobeishan in the royal court, and was later captured by the Xianbei people, and finally fell into the hands of the Rouran people.

In addition to Yanghu's journey, Shao Yuniang, the governor of Bazhou, also led 10,000 iron horsemen to the north, and she will join the Monan Zhuhu to jointly attack the Ele and Rouran tribes north of Gonglushui.

The Mobei War commanded by Yang Hu and Shao Yuniang this time was much easier than that of Wei Qing and Huo Quai, first of all, the logistics system of Yan State was far more perfect than that of the Han Dynasty.

Moreover, in the past three years, the Yan State has firmly controlled the south of Yinshan Mountain through means such as building cities and immigration, and with the Mo Nan Zhuhu as its wings, at least it will not let the Yan army lose its way in the vast grassland.

When the day was turning west, the shouting and killing on the battlefield gradually disappeared, and the grass was full of corpses, including the cavalry of the Mobei Rouran Ele tribe who invaded south, and the Hu cavalry of the Zhuhu in the south. As the horn sounded, the Monan coalition drove the captives towards the camp.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Shao Yuniang sat on the main seat, and the leaders and banner masters of the various alliances in Monan were accompanied by him.

"Governor Yudu, the thousands of Mobei cavalry that invaded from the south have been slaughtered, and the last general has come to restore his life."

Just when everyone was anxiously waiting for the news, they saw the female general who had just been fighting on the battlefield walking in covered in blood, and reported the battle to the main general Shao Yuniang in detail.

Looking at the heroic apprentice Xun Guanniang, Shao Yuniang's eyes were full of joy, after three years of hand-in-hand teaching, Xun Guanniang can finally be a teacher today.

This time, Shao Yuniang was ordered to go to Mobei, and he specially appointed Xun Guanniang as the forward of the army.

Along the way, Xun Guanniang lived up to expectations, successively broke several Mobei cavalry that invaded south, and killed 3,000 Hu cavalry before and after.

"Well, that's good! Captain Xun has worked hard, let's go down and rest first. ”

After Xun Guanniang left, Shao Yuniang got up and looked at the surrounding alliance leaders and banner owners and said loudly: "Everyone, King Yan knows that you are being harassed by the Rouran Eile, and he specially ordered to lead the army to the north. ”

"After you go back, please put in order the cavalry of this banner as soon as possible, and march north with this general in five days."

"In the name of Lord Governor." The leaders of the alliance and the banner owners bowed down one after another.

……

When Shao Yuniang was busy rectifying the Monan Zhuhu, Yang Hu took Ran Zhan as the striker, and personally led 20,000 steps to ride out of Dingxiang County to cross the Yin Mountain, wanting to cross the Hanhai Desert for more than 1,000 miles.

Originally, Yang Crane had expected that this march would be difficult, but it was not until he embarked on the journey that he realized that the difficulties were far more difficult than he had previously thought.

Eight hundred miles of the Gobi Desert, as far as the eye can see, endless gravel beaches sparkle in the sun. Whenever the wind blows, the yellow sand rolls, covering the sky and the sun. The whole area is deserted and desolate.

Most of the soldiers who crossed the Gobi with Yang Hu were from the Biansaihu tribe, and their survivability and endurance in the grassland far surpassed that of ordinary Han soldiers, coupled with sufficient logistics supplies, so that Yang Hu had the confidence to complete the plan to cross the Hanhai Desert.

Ran Zhan, as a general who had just joined the Yan State, was transferred to Shuozhou by the Privy Council after the initial decision in Hebei.

In his opinion, compared with previous dynasties, the victory of King Yan over the grassland people is unprecedented. The strategic intention of ruling across the desert and Gobi from Hulu was basically realized, but at this time, Rouran and Eile, who had just emerged in Mobei, were obviously unwilling to give up the grasslands of the southern desert and go south to the Central Plains to fight the grass valley.

This is also the reason why King Yan sent two armies north to Mobei, to completely dispel Hu Lu's covetousness for the Great Jin.

While Ran Zhan was thinking about his thoughts, a desolate horn suddenly sounded, and he knew that this was the clarion call for the army to stop and march to rest on the spot. Sure enough, I saw that the soldiers who were walking suddenly stopped, and soon the camp tents rose from the ground, and after a while, the smell of roast mutton wafted from the Kung Fu camp.

After nightfall, most of the soldiers had already slept in their tents, except for a few of the rangers, who were still wandering. The continuous march for several days has caused great physical wear and tear on the soldiers, and every time it is time to rest, as soon as the pressure is relieved, they can't stand it anymore, and they throw down their weapons one by one and lie on the ground crookedly.

Another day's endless march is over.

Yang Hu looked at the tired soldiers and felt a little distressed, but he had nothing to do but ask the baggage soldiers in charge of logistics to provide good food for the soldiers as much as possible.

In summer, the Gobi Desert is as cool as water at night, but the blankets and blankets brought up from the rear in time are enough to resist the night chill. Although the soldiers of the Yang Crane Department had to cross the desert as a last resort in order to raid the Rouran royal court. However, thanks to sufficient logistical supplies, the ordinary soldiers did not suffer from any cold and frustration except for some hardships on the march.

In the silence of all the people, Yang Ju, Ran Zhan and the participating troops in the big tent of the Chinese army are discussing the future battle plan.

"Governor, according to the guide, the army will pass through the Hanhai in three days, and I don't know what happened to Governor Shao, in case it does not contain the main force of Rouran, our army will venture deep into the Mobei grassland, is it difficult to guarantee that it will not be taken by Rouran?"

The one who spoke was to join the army, responsible for assisting Yang Hu in handling military affairs, and knew a lot about the army's marching route and battle plan. Most of those who have the ability to serve as a record officer and join the army are high-achieving students in military academies in various places, and their theoretical level is not picked.

As a new general who joined the Liaodong Army, Ran Zhan did not make any contributions, and under normal circumstances, he rarely expressed his opinions, and he completed what the main general Yang Hu ordered. At the moment, he was like a statue, and he still didn't say a word except for his ears to listen.

"It's reasonable to worry about joining the army, but you don't have to worry about Shao Dudu, this is not the first time she has entered Mobei, when His Royal Highness King Yan went north to conquer Tuoba Xianbei, Shao Dudu led his troops alone along the bow and Lushui to sweep the east side of Wolf Juxu Mountain, and fled in embarrassment."

"Hehe, the governor has taught me a lesson! I was a little nervous below, and this time the crossing of the Hanhai Sea was no better than the decisive battle in Monan. Not to mention that we have walked thousands of miles, the soldiers are already exhausted, and the replenishment of various military supplies is also slightly insufficient. ”

"Well, I understand that the key to this battle is to fight quickly, and strive to defeat Hu Lu before he finds out the situation, and it is best to take the Rouran Royal Court on the southwest side of Langju Xu Mountain in the shortest possible time. And to achieve this goal, it depends on the performance of the striker Captain Ran Zhan! ”

Seeing that he was talking about himself, Ran Zhan hurriedly got up and hugged his fists and said: "Please rest assured, the last general will definitely live up to the trust!" ”

"Well, Hongwu is brave and good at fighting, and this battle will definitely be won."

To be honest, Yang Ju was very pleased that Ran Zhan came to serve in the Shuozhou Governor's Mansion. He himself is good at layout and planning, but he is not good at rushing into battle, and the arrival of Ran Zhan makes up for his own shortcomings.

It can be said that Ran Zhan's courage has strengthened Yang Que like a tiger, and he is full of confidence in winning this battle.

"Next, we have to slow down the march to ensure that the soldiers are well rested, and strive to allow everyone to recover their strength before leaving the Hanhai, so that they can cope with the possible crisis with the best physical strength." (To be continued.) )
