Chapter 64: The Mobei War
On the border of Anyun, the army of iron-blooded troops gathered. The 20,000 Anyun iron cavalry, plus more than 100,000 Northern Expedition troops, only looked more powerful and majestic in the autumn wind. And Xian Guzhong, who personally led this army, was even more complacent and full of spirit.
When he was very young, he was once taken to the barracks by his father Xian Jinfei, and looking at the strict military formation, he also thought that one day he could lead the troops into battle.
It's just that after taking over An Yun from his father, his subordinates are full of fierce generals, and there are two battlefield veterans Bai Zheng and Wu Deli, so he has never had the opportunity to lead his troops to fight.
Everyone else said that Ken Gu was a noble person, and he really couldn't venture to the battlefield. In fact, everyone understands that it is undoubtedly a joke to put the army in the hands of a young man with no battlefield experience. Although this young man is already the lord of Anyun.
Ken Gu Zhong also knows this, and now that he has finally found a chance to lead his troops into battle, of course he has to show others that he can also win the battle. Being able to defeat Wei Zeng's great enemy is, of course, the best proof.
"I think this time, we can take 20,000 iron horsemen as the vanguard, and the army will attack in three directions. Attack Yishan on the left side, find Wei Zeng's lair, so that Wei Zeng has no place to hide, General Wu once found Wei Zeng, and the left side will be handed over to General Wu. Ken Tanaka said.
As soon as Udeli bowed his hand to Xian Guzhong, he received his order.
"The right side attacked in the direction of Yushan, cooperated with the defenders of Shifeng City, and completely defeated Gu Chayi. As for the middle lane, I will personally brush the collar and eliminate all the Zhantu people who colluded with Wei Zeng. Twenty thousand horsemen are with me, and they are at my disposal. What do the generals think? After saying that, he asked all the generals.
These have been discussed many times in advance, and now that they are said by Ken Gu, naturally no one raises objections.
"Since the generals have no opinions, let's do what I just said. We must work together to eradicate the troubles in the north, and when we return victorious, I will not be stingy with rewards. Kentanaka said with satisfaction.
When all the generals heard Kenya's words, they all stood up and said yes, and expressed their determination to win. Kentanaka also got up and bowed his hand, and then ordered the generals to go their separate ways.
Thousands of troops and horses are mobilized, and the scene is naturally very spectacular, especially tens of thousands of iron horses galloping on the plain, which is exciting.
"With such a mighty army, what enemy cannot be defeated? I'll definitely be able to capture Wei Zeng this time. Xian Gu Zhong looked at the army and said proudly.
All the generals in the army have had many dealings with Wei Zeng, and they are all aware of Wei Zeng's bravery and cunning. They all knew that there was a lot of movement this time, but it was not so easy to defeat Wei Zeng. But none of the generals would deliberately damage the good mood of the Xiangani, but they just promised and said some flattering words.
Just when the Iron Blood Army was mobilized, the entire Mobei had already received the news. The people sent out by Wei Zeng rushed between the various Zhantu tribes that had been annexed, and the young and strong people in these tribes all set out together and headed towards the place agreed by Wei Zeng. And all the women, children, old and weak, were sent to a safe place.
Three years ago, only a few small tribes were willing to join Wei Zeng, but as Wei Zeng's influence in Mobei grew, more and more large tribes began to submit to Wei Zeng. Either because of Wei Zeng's accumulation of power over the years and feeling frightened, or because of Wei Zeng's benevolence in the past few years and convinced, in short, most of the Zhantu tribes in Mobei have obeyed Wei Zeng's command.
Outside of Yishan, Wei Zeng looked at the Zhantu people who kept coming, and he was also infinitely emotional. In the past, he had led the Yanbei Righteous Army and fought against the Zhan Tu people many times; Who would have thought that this time he would take the Zhan Tu people and fight with the iron-blooded army that dominates the Central Plains.
Wei Zeng rode a horse to inspect the troops, followed by two teenagers, one was Gu Songyin, the son of Gu Chayi, and the other was Yu Lianjing, the son of Yu Chaogui.
After Wei Zeng inspected for a week, he was quite satisfied with the situation, so he said to his cronies: "This time, nearly 40,000 people have arrived on our side, and if you want to check on that side, there should be a lot of people." As long as we can arrange it, we can also fight the Predators. However, the Anyun Iron Cavalry is strong, and we cannot confront it head-on. Only by taking advantage of the vast grasslands of Mobei to deal with the enemy can it be possible to win. ”
"Uncle Wei will definitely win this time. Fan Yuyi has already promised to help us, and Brother Ye Yuan is in a high position in Kansai, with such a strong foreign aid, will we still fail? Gu Songyin said.
"The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and no one can predict victory or defeat, so if you want to win, you can only go all out. Fan Jiuyi is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, although he will respond to us, but he is far away from quenching his thirst; The Kansai people have always been reluctant to participate in the battle in the Central Plains, and if we cannot gain an advantage on the battlefield, I am afraid that their reinforcements will not come. These foreign aid...... It can only be used as a consolation to strengthen the determination of the soldiers to win. Wei Zeng said.
"What Uncle Wei said is that after all, everything can only be done on our own." Ancient pine shade back road.
Wei Zeng glanced at Yu Lian Jing, and saw that he had been thoughtful, but he had been silent, so he said: "Lian Jing, although your father is my subordinate, I have always regarded him as my own brother, you don't want to see him, just say anything." ”
"My mother taught me to study well with Uncle Wei, and I have learned a lot from Uncle Wei these days. I also have some ideas, but I think Uncle Wei has been on the battlefield for a long time, and I think of Uncle Wei must be able to think of it, so I think it's better not to talk about it. Yu Lian replied in surprise.
"No one is perfect, there is still a gap in Baimi, and I must have something I can't think of. Just say what you think, maybe you can fill in the gap. Wei Zeng said with a smile, and the words were all encouraging.
"I only think that the battle of the Zhan Turks is only based on the tribe, and the tribes are naturally considered to work together, but the tribes have some separate meanings. The most important thing in commanding troops to fight a war is the unity of military orders and the ability to advance and retreat at the same time. In the current situation of the Zhan Turks, I am afraid that there will be big problems in the event of a war. Yu Lian was shocked to hear Wei Zeng's words, and his heart warmed, so he said his thoughts.
"You're right, the current situation of the Zhan Tu people will cause big problems. In the past, when I fought against the Chamtun, I took advantage of the discord between the various tribes of the Chamtu people many times to break them down. However, it is also unrealistic to want to reorganize the Zhan Turks in a moment. In my opinion, it is better to gather the leaders of the tribes first, and agree with them to give them the order to attack together. As for the reorganization of the military system and the strengthening of cooperation, let's do it slowly in the future. Wei Zeng nodded and said.
Yu Lian was shocked to see that Wei Zeng adopted his opinion, and his confidence increased greatly for a while, and he was only prepared to observe more in the future, so as to give Wei Zeng some useful suggestions. (To be continued.) )
