Chapter 38: The First Destruction of the Country

The army of more than 500,000 troops of the princes of the Eighteenth Route crusaded against Dong Zhuo, which was actually declared to the outside world.

Because of the relationship between the Yellow Turban Army, there were a few princes who could not go to war, and Zhang Yang, the party guard, was directly beheaded by Xu Huang. Tao Qian actually never participated in the war, and Zhang Chao, the Taishou of Guangling, intended to raise troops, but he also had to worry that his territory would be annexed by Tao Qian.

In addition, Ma Teng couldn't send troops directly, so seven days later, the only princes who came to the Sujube Alliance were: Later General Yuan Shu, Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang, Bohai Taishou Yuan Shao, Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao, Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi, Jibei Xiang Bao Xin, Changsha Taishou Sun Jian, and Cao Cao's headquarters. Gongsun Chan also came, and went south with 3,000 ordinary cavalry, obviously to fight soy sauce.

It is said that Han Fu is also in one of the sequences of participating in the war, but he has never left Yecheng.

Perhaps it was because he was reluctant to go, promising to provide grain and grass for the princes. At this time, he can be said to be more confident than in history, just because this time the coalition forces that really converged only had nine routes, and the number of people was only more than 370 million. At the same time, he is also more bitter than history, just because the Zhen Chamber of Commerce is no longer in Jizhou, and at the same time, when he left, he also took away the grain he collected last year.

After that, these grains were naturally bought by Fang Yun at a good price, and became an important reserve material based on the state. It's just that Han Fu is a Jizhou pastor, but he can't harvest a single grain, and how to support the coalition army will also be a very huge problem.

In fact, after confirming that there was no grain to harvest, he even began to regret providing grain and grass to the coalition forces. It's just that if you say it, you can't change it, and you can't say that once the coalition army is angry, it will go north directly to Jizhou. Does he still want to be a state minister? And that's not all. If it's not good to be punished by the clan, then it's really aggrieved!

Mid-February. The princes gathered in sour dates, thinking of more than 100,000 horses, but they didn't think that in the end there were only more than 37,000. I heard that Dong Zhuo has 50,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry and 5,000 Flying Bear Army. After that, he absorbed 30,000 wolf cavalry and 20,000 infantry soldiers in Bingzhou, plus the defenders of Luoyang itself, and the troops in Dong Zhuo's hands were as high as 130,000.

Considering that it was necessary to garrison the outside world, it was also necessary to prevent Ma Teng from suddenly advancing in the rear. Then at least 80,000 or so troops must be left to garrison in various places. At the same time, because the defenders of Luoyang have not fought outside the country all year round, and their combat effectiveness is low, if they are worried, then Dong Zhuo still has 50,000 troops to mobilize, and many of them are cavalry.

50,000 cavalry against 37,000 cavalry, almost without a fight, already knew the result.

Fang Yun, who got this information, was also dumbfounded at the moment. I thought that defecting to the coalition was a novice level, but I didn't want to turn out that taking refuge in Dong Zhuo was a novice level. With Dong Zhuo's cooperation, if you destroy the princes of the Eight Directions, you can get 40 attribute points, 40 skill points and 8 bronze level lotteries. The latter is equivalent to 2 gold-level draws!

Fortunately, he has decided to choose the neutral camp, so that both sides can deal with it. This time. I have more than 3,000 pots of arrows stored in the storage space, and each quiver can hold 50 arrows, which is 150,000 arrows. On the battlefield, he will also manipulate the storage space to automatically recover the arrows scattered on the battlefield, so as to at least ensure the long-range strike ability of the troops, as well as the ability to attack continuously.

These three thousand people were not selected at random, but from among the strong archers, and they were considered the elite of the elite. In the hands of 3,000 people is 3,000 pairs of strong bows, which are high-quality strong bows that have been upgraded and improved in casting technology, which is not only stronger in itself, but also more reasonable in the application of pulley blocks, which is naturally more labor-saving.

The cavalry was wearing fish scale armor, and the strength of the armor had been strengthened, and it could resist the fire of the rhubarb crossbow at least fifty paces. It's just that the horses lack some defense, but this cavalry unit is running most of the time, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Yes, this is a new cavalry formed according to the model of the Mongol cavalry archers. Their horses were a Mongolian breed of horses that were traded in the steppes. At that time, this kind of horse was regarded as an inferior horse because it was relatively short and not good enough. In fact, its charm can only be clearly appreciated by those who have been a horse shooter.

The army set out from Jinyang, and at this moment it has already gone south to Shangdang County, which is not far from the eldest son city.

With the information that the coalition forces began to gather, there was actually information sent by Xu Huang, saying that they had locked and trapped the remnants of the Southern Xiongnu, but the current Shan Yu Hu Chuquan expressed his willingness to submit to Fang Yun, he couldn't make up his mind, so he sent someone to report and ask Fang Yun to make a decision.

"If you take them in, will you still be able to get the reward?" Fang Yun had to ask about the system, at least to confirm it.

"The mission did not mention the surrender." The system answered his question quickly.

In other words, Fang Yun could choose to surrender, but since the system did not give a reward for surrender, he was afraid that getting the loyalty of the Southern Xiongnu would become the final reward. Perhaps it can also be deduced from this that there will be similar tasks to destroy other forces in the future, and he also needs to choose between the task reward and the surrender of one faction.

For the Southern Xiongnu, who have been more sinicized, their own combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the Qiang or Xianbei people, and even Wuhuan can fight with it. Besides, the reward for subduing them and destroying them, especially for killing Liu Bao, is far greater than the benefits that can be obtained by surrendering them.

In this way, there is no need to talk nonsense, and immediately wrote a letter to Xu Huang, asking him to quickly harvest the remnants of these Southern Xiongnu.

When the news reached Xu Huang and the others, Fang Yun and his party had already entered Hyun County. The gallop all the way has made the endurance of these Mongolian horses have been reflected to the maximum, and it has also made the generals who originally looked down on this kind of pony a little like this kind of horse.

Since ancient times, knights, especially horsemen, have had two or even three horses, one of which is charged on the battlefield. The other two horses are transferred during the daily rush. The Mongolian horse has excellent stamina, which makes the daily marching speed also significantly improved, which is very rare for a general.

Even if you arrive on the battlefield a day faster than the enemy, you can have one more day to arrange, and there is such a thing as a fighter plane, which no military general can ignore. The success or failure of a battlefield often depends on who gets the fighter first.

Chen Tao naturally applied for a redress of the whole army immediately, and it was best for all cavalry to be equipped with one of these dwarf horses. It's just that this kind of horse is in Inner Mongolia and even Outer Mongolia, which is the territory of the Xianbei people, and it is difficult to get it, let alone large-scale arming. Otherwise, how could Fang Yun have set out with only three thousand people?

When the army was about to enter Hanoi County, Xu Huang sent someone to send a battle report, which said that the Southern Xiongnu had been completely annihilated, and not a single child was left. At the same time, someone has been sent to inspect it, and the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu Huchuquan, as well as the head of Liu Bao, the right virtuous king, have all been sent over.

Fang Yun didn't know them, and it didn't make sense to look at their heads, so he asked people to find a place to bury them. The most believable thing is that in the end it is still the system, and sure enough, the system has sent a notification about the completion of the task:

"Congratulations to the host for completing the side quest - destroying the Southern Huns, obtaining 5 free attribute points, 1 bronze level lottery, and 1 gold level lottery."

It seems that Liu Bao is real, Liu Yuan will naturally not be born again, Fang Yun is equivalent to indirectly destroying a country! (To be continued......)

PS: In fact, the concept of destroying the country is a bit general, for example, the protagonist destroys Liu Bao, then the Han and Zhao regimes established on behalf of Liu Yuan and him will not appear, from the perspective of future people, he is destroying a country. But if he doesn't know about it, then he just destroyed the Southern Huns, that's all. The end of the fourth watch is a sore wrist......
