Chapter 4 Dispatch
In the afternoon of the same day, Li Zheng returned to the Shenzhou grassland.
This time, it is necessary to seize the two counties of Shangjun and Xihe, connect the Hetao as a whole, use the big river as a moat, establish the most complete defense line, and establish a springboard for eastward advance.
Although the war was not large, for Li Zheng, its strategic significance was extremely important.
Obeying the advice of Xun You and others, Li Zheng went to battle this time, and prepared to take away all the mountain wolf cavalry, Qingjia cavalry, Destroying Blade cavalry and Golden Wing Tiger cavalry.
At the same time, the White Wolf Department stationed in Dachengsai was summoned to send troops to Xihe County and take the Meiji area! Then he turned south and cooperated with Li Zheng to completely include Xihe County.
The one in charge of logistics and transportation is Fu Gan of Tianhe City. Fu Gan's mother and son went to Lingzhou last year, and after a period of cultivation, Li Zheng appointed Fu Gan as the commander of Tianhe City, a first-class civil official of the county order, guarding Tianhe City, and temporarily supervising the government affairs of Tianhe County. Therefore, he was entrusted with the responsibility of military logistics this time.
Early the next morning, Li Zheng was fully clothed, rode Qingyun by himself, led 5,000 mountain wolf cavalry, 1,500 Qingjia cavalry, 500 Destroying Front cavalry, and 400 Golden Wing Tiger cavalry, and rode the naval warship to Baishui River.
After more than half a year of development, the number of war horses in various departments has increased by leaps and bounds. Last year, there were only 3,000 mountain wolves to ride, and now it has reached the scale of 5,000. The number of the remaining warhorses has also increased.
Especially the navy, the number of the navy at this stage has reached 5,000 people, more than 100 warships, and the patrol area covers the large river sections around the Baishui River and the large canals crisscrossing the Baishui River. Unfortunately, because the terrain in some places of the big river is too large, the water is too rapid, and there are even waterfalls, which makes it difficult for the navy to reach farther river sections, and the warships can only be trapped in the area of the Baishui River.
Otherwise, it will be much easier to take the entire Hetao, merge states, and even threaten Guanzhong, with the cooperation of the naval army.
The military advisor who accompanied the army this time was not Xun You, Xi Zhicai, or Jia Xu, but Xun Ying.
The conquest of Shangjun and Xihe County, under the premise of having an absolute advantage in strength, there is no need for Xi Zhicai and others to plan with the army, and they have more important things to deal with. As for Xun Ying, it was soft grinding and hard soaking for most of the night, and the iron pestle was ground into a needle before Li Zheng let go of his mouth.
Standing on the bow of the big ship, Li Zheng pressed the hilt of the Chixiao sword and looked into the distance. Beside him, Xun Ying was also dressed in a drape, full of heroism.
"Lang Jun, how many foot soldiers are you going to bring this time?"
Xun Yingqiao's face is ruddy, and her big eyes are very smart.
"Baishuichuan no longer needs to garrison too many troops, the two major passes of Dongying Pass and Beiying Pass, it is enough to garrison more than 100 people, and it is useless to have more. This time, all the troops of the Hetao will be taken away, and the troops of the two checkpoints will be taken away. Li Zheng looked at his daughter-in-law sideways and said with a smile: "Do you have an idea?" ”
Xun Ying glanced at Li Zheng, with resentment in her mouth: "What if you have ideas, Lang Jun doesn't allow it." ”
"Haha," Li Zheng laughed: "You are my daughter-in-law, the housewife of millions of people in Liangzhou." If you are asked to lead the troops to fight, where will I put my face? Where will the face of millions of people in Liangzhou go? ”
"Humph!"
Xun Yingjiao snorted and wrinkled her nose.
Li Zheng restrained his smile, looked at Xun Ying for a long time, and sighed: "You are a girl, if you were born in an ordinary family, it would be fine, since you married me, you don't have that condition to act recklessly." You can do anything, but you can't go to war. ”
Xun Ying's face darkened, speechless.
After a long while, he suddenly laughed again: "This is what Lang Jun said!" It's not okay to go to the battlefield, so it's always okay to train troops in the rear, right? ”
Li Zheng was stunned, couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, and said, "Okay, but this time, you can't go Xiaoying." ”
When Xun Ying heard this, her pretty face was immediately unhappy, and she turned her face sideways and didn't look at Li Zheng.
"Lang Jun's words don't count!"
For a long time, Xun Ying came up with such a sentence.
"Two choices." Li Zheng stretched out his finger and said seriously: "Either choose to go out with the army this time, or stay in Baishuichuan and allow to train recruits in the future." ”
"I" Xun Ying looked at Li Zheng, pouted, and finally chose to train the army.
Starting from the lake in the northern section of the grassland, the 100 big boats of the navy carried thousands of war horses, along the waterway of the big canal, but only half a day's effort, they arrived near Dongying Pass.
After the cavalry disembarked, they followed Li Zheng on the avenue and headed for Dongying Pass.
Since the contracting system was issued last year, all the grasslands outside the Baishui River have been contracted out. This avenue has gradually revealed its great function.
On the avenue, there are people and carriages from time to time, mostly caravans transporting various livestock. Of course, most of them are commercial houses in Liangzhou.
The livestock, meat, and eggs produced in the Baishui River and even in the grasslands outside of the country must first be supplied to the military, and then to the needs of the people of Liangzhou, and the surplus can be sold to merchants in other states.
The merchant's convoy saw the cavalry roaring towards him, and hurriedly drove the convoy to the side, and stood aside to watch.
Thousands of war horses, four major arms, that kind of powerful and terrifying momentum, that kind of majesty that is very different from ordinary cavalry, immediately shocked the people on both sides of the avenue!
"Tsk, this is the most elite cavalry species in our Liangzhou, right?"
"Not really!"
"There are war cavalry in our village, you see, it's the kind with three golden horns, called the Destroying Blade War Cavalry!"
"I know, I know, the kind that has only one horn is called the Qingjia War Horse!"
"And that, it's the mountain wolf ride!"
"Flying in the sky, it's called the Golden Winged Tiger Rider!"
"What a strong soldier!"
People pointed their fingers, marveled at them, and marveled at them. Those who know some of the situation are very ostentatious.
The group of war horsemen ignored the people coming and going, let go of the speed, but in a moment, they arrived at Dongying Pass.
Wang Laohu had already led people to wait under the pass, and when he saw Li Zheng coming, he hurriedly greeted Li Zheng and entered the pass.
"Lao Wang, have the soldiers of Beiying Pass arrived?"
Yesterday, Li Zheng summoned Beiying Pass and asked Xu Xiaojiu and Lin Shi to dispatch all the soldiers of Beiying Pass to Dongying Pass and wait for orders.
When Wang Laohu heard this, he said, "It's just been an hour. ”
"Okay." Li Zheng bowed slightly, and said: "Pass my order, let all the foot soldiers of Dongying Pass and Beiying Pass gather outside the pass, and after an hour, set off with me!" ”
"Whoa!"
Subsequently, Li Zheng sent a message to the Blue Xiangniao and ordered Fu Gan of Tianhe City to prepare a supply and prepare for the subsequent departure.
An hour later, five miles outside Dongying Pass, on the wide grassland.
More than 20,000 foot soldiers gathered here, led by the captains of each battalion, lined up in a phalanx, and waited quietly. In just a moment, Li Zheng led 7,000 earth war cavalry and 400 sky war cavalry out of Dongying Pass and arrived in front of the infantry formation.
Summoning the captains of the battalions, Li Zheng said directly: "The first target, Shangjun Luyan!" General Ben led the cavalry first, and you waited for it to follow, and tomorrow, you must rush to Luyan, can you do it?! ”
"Yes!"
"Good!" Li Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Go down!" ”
"Whoa!"
After the order, Li Zheng didn't say a word, waved the spear in his hand, and shouted: "All war horses, set off with me!" ”
More than 7,000 war horsemen were ordered, soaring at speed, like a gust of wind, sweeping across the grassland, whistling past.
More than 20,000 foot soldiers watched the war horses go away, and they all showed envy.
Cavalry is an ace class. Not to mention the cavalry! If you can become a war cavalry, it can be said that you will be glorious. It's a pity that the selection of war cavalry is strict, and these more than 7,000 war cavalry are the strongest ones carefully selected from hundreds of thousands of troops. The infantry had no choice but to strengthen their training and wait for the opportunity.
But in an hour, at the end of the afternoon, Li Zheng led the cavalry to Luyanze.
The water originated in the southeast of the river, upstream from south to north, until near the river, then turned to the east, to Fushi, and then to the south and finally into the river. Luxury, just between Luxe Yanze and Luxe Stretch Water, is located on the northwest shore of Luxury Stretch Water.
From the Baishui River Dongying Pass to the east to luxury, but only more than 200 miles away. Previously, Hao Yan belonged to the Han clan's sphere of influence, and since the Han clan was destroyed, the surrounding Xiongnu tribes were either implicated or migrated eastward, and their whereabouts were unknown. The whole area of Luyan has become completely anarchic.
A distance of two hundred miles is nothing at all for a war horseman. Extremely fast speed and strong endurance ensured that the war horse only took an hour to rush to Luyanze.
Holding the reins, Li Zheng beckoned, and a soldier next to him stepped forward and clenched his fist.
"This is Lu Yanze?" Li Zheng looked at the wide water surface of Luyan Ze and asked, "In which direction is the county seat of Luyan?" How far is it going? ”
This soldier was the guide, he pointed to the east, and said, "Lord, go a few more miles north from here, bypass Haoyanze, and only a dozen miles to the east, which is Luyan." ”
Li Zheng bowed slightly, took a breath, and shouted: "Pass my order, all the war horses speed up, rush to Haoyan as soon as possible, rest in Luyan today, and tomorrow morning, go straight to the skin!" ”
With that, he pulled the reins, reversed course, and headed north
When Li Zheng led his army to arrive in Haoyan, the white wolf had already led his troops to station in Meiji.
Yesterday, Li Zheng summoned the news, and the white wolf did not dare to slack off, so he immediately led his troops eastward, and that night, he entered the range of Xihe County.
For more than 100 years, Meiji, as the royal court of the Southern Xiongnu, was attacked by Li Zheng and ordered by the White Wolf Qi, and then defeated the entire right Xiongnu, even in this case, there are still some small and medium-sized tribes who are unwilling to move away and stay here.
Maybe it's because of the so-called glory, maybe it's a fluke, but all of them, in this night, completely came to naught.
The total number of troops of all the remaining tribes in Meiji is not more than 10,000. In the face of the more than 30,000 troops led by the white wolf, there was no resistance at all and he was defeated in a battle.
However, that night, the shouting and killing continued for most of the night.
The Huns who stayed in Meiji were all diehards, and few of them were willing to surrender. Even if they are dying and decrepit, they all pick up their swords and resist to the death. As a result, the white wolf's department lost a lot of people.
The white wolf was furious and ordered to kill all the Huns in Meiji!
By the early morning of the next day, the entire Meiji was full of blood.
More than 50,000 Huns were slaughtered here! The head is rolling and unbearable to see.
