The middle part of the Mongolian Plateau is Yanran Mountain, south to Yinshan, between Yanran Mountain and Yinshan is a large area of Gobi and desert, 50,000 cavalry and tens of thousands of infantry, grain transporters advance to Yanran Mountain, mighty.

The further you go to Mobei, the greater the logistical pressure, and when food is scarce, it means that troops must be withdrawn.

"The Mongol Empire was born on this plateau, and not many empires would be willing to attack this bitter cold land unless it had to. Therefore, groups of nomadic tribes rose from this place, and from time to time they went south, and the disasters were endless. ”

Chutian rode a Turkic horse, and the Turkic horse adapted to the climate of the Mongolian Plateau and would not be unaccustomed to the soil and water.

In ancient times, the Central Plains regime had little interest in the Mongolian Plateau, because there were many Gobi and deserts north of the Yinshan Mountains, which were difficult to cultivate, and it was extremely expensive to control and digest the desert north. The Central Plains regime was already incapable of controlling Monan alone.

Chu Tian was pondering the way to control Mobei.

If a large city is built on the shores of Lake Baikal, a teleportation array is set up, and troops and horses are rotated every ten years, it may be possible to control Mobei. Once something happens to Mobei, the army in the pass can use the teleportation array to quickly go to Mobei to suppress the rebellion.

For Chutian, who was still south of the Yellow River, it seemed a little far away to push Mobei in the main world. To the north of the Mongolian Plateau is the Siberian Plateau, the sphere of influence of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, and only a few lords of the Grand Duchy of Moscow should be active on the Siberian Plateau.

Grand Duchy of Moscow...... Chu Tian remembered a lord of the Grand Duchy of Moscow he knew, who seemed to be called Linna.

The eagle soared through the air, landing from time to time among the Iron Eagle scout cavalry.

The Iron Eagle scout cavalry went around to reconnoitre, tracking down the whereabouts of the Huns, and reported from time to time: "No Huns have been found." ”

"It seems that the main force of the Xiongnu has retreated from Monan to Mobei."

Chu Tian knew that after the end of the Battle of Monan, in order to avoid the edge of the Han army, the Xiongnu chose to form a formation in Mobei and fight a decisive battle with the Han army. There are indeed very few Xiongnu in Monan.

Li Guang, the chief general of the Han army, was already a little confused and almost went in the wrong direction, but under Chu Tian's correction, the Han army basically marched in the right direction.

"The Han army is here again!"

"They're really haunted."

The right king of the Huns grabbed the reins of the war horse, and tens of thousands of Hun cavalry heard that the Han army was coming, and they were panicked.

The main force of the Xiongnu has retreated to Mobei, in order to increase the logistical pressure of the Han army, and then increase the probability of victory in the decisive battle in Mobei.

"Last time, Wei Qing captured more than 10,000 men and women and hundreds of thousands of livestock in our department, and this revenge must be avenged!"

"Wang, there don't seem to be Wei Qing's cavalry on this road."

"But I felt an equally unsettling aura...... "King Youxian closed his eyes and felt a faint suppression, "It's indeed a little different from the sense of oppression brought by Wei Qing, why is this?" ”

A black warhawk hovers in the air.

There are Huns who shoot eagles with bows in their hands, but the height of the war eagles exceeds the range of bows and arrows.

The right virtuous king of the Huns looked at the war eagle in the air and looked at it twice: "You stay and continue to monitor this road of soldiers and horses." ”

A big Hun man replied, "Yes." ”

King Youxian commanded his cavalry to go north to join the Xiongnu Shan Yu, leaving only 3,000 Xiongnu cavalry to monitor the whereabouts of Li Guang's army.

The royal court of King Youxian was destroyed by Wei Qing in the last battle of Monan, and his influence was greatly reduced, and part of his troops were distributed to Zhao Xin, the second king of Shan Yu, who now only has tens of thousands of cavalry.

Therefore, King Youxian was afraid and hated Wei Qing.

The main forces of the Xiongnu were concentrated in Shan Yu and the court of Zuoxian Wang.

"A hundred miles ahead, a large number of Hun soldiers and horses were found!"

After the Iron Eagle scouts detected the traces of the Hun cavalry, they reported to Chutian as soon as possible.

"How many?"

"Probably tens of thousands."

"Tens of thousands of ......"

Chu Tian, Fang Xuanling, and Lu Su learned this information, and their expressions were solemn.

In the battle of Mobei, the attributes of the Hun cavalry were strengthened by 20%, and the third order started, and if they were not careful, they would be wiped out in the Mongolian Plateau.

"Send scouts to reconnoiter a hundred miles forward, don't approach this Hun cavalry, and use war eagles to reconnoiter at a distance of ten miles."

Chu Tian had the best reconnaissance class in his hands, and the Huns who dared to approach him could not avoid the sight of the war eagle.

If tens of thousands of cavalry appeared, it meant that Chu Tian's march route was correct.

"It may be Xiongnu Shan Yu, it may be the second king, it may be the right Xian king, and it is unlikely that other Xiongnu princes are likely. If it was the Xiongnu Shan Yu, with 10,000 of us, maybe we would be defeated. ”

Chu Tian considered that the Xiongnu were alone in the elite seventh-order light cavalry "Shan Yu Guard", with an average level of 80, and were the division of a hundred battles against the Han Empire for many years.

The 10,000 cavalry brought by Chutian included both new recruits and veterans. The average level of Xue Rengui's sixth-order Tang archers was 57, and the average level of Chen Qingzhi's 2,000 white-robed cavalry was 23.

The average rank reflects the number and intensity of battles a unit has experienced. The level can affect the combat effectiveness of the troops. There is a huge gap between the division of a hundred battles and the newly recruited soldiers.

The white-robed army was the cavalry that had just been recruited, but Chu Tian still brought the white-robed army to the Battle of Mobei, because the huge bonus that Chen Qingzhi brought to the white-robed army could make up for the level gap.

Now the question is whether to gamble and how.

"There are tens of thousands of cavalry on the opposite side, so you have to bring Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Li Guang, and Zhao Shiqi to beat them up."

In order to prevent the annihilation of the whole army, Chutian chose to bring his teammates to encircle and suppress this group of Huns.

"Report, the Huns' large army is heading north, leaving only a small number of cavalry behind, and the number is about two thousand to five thousand!"

Chu Tian was about to inform Cao Cao and the others, but the Iron Eagle Scout came with news.

Fang Xuanling speculated: "Obviously, the Huns are not willing to fight a decisive battle with our soldiers and horses, and the Hun cavalry left behind is just to spy on us for the purpose." ”

"If there were only a few thousand Hun cavalry, we could defeat them. Tonight we went out of camp to attack this Hun cavalry. After leaving the camp, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Li Guang, Zhao Shiqi and others were notified to chase north. ”

After a simple discussion, Chu Tian, Fang Xuanling, and Lu Su planned to eat the Hun cavalry behind the palace by themselves, and then chased the main Xiongnu force fleeing north non-stop, and at the same time notified Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Li Guang, Zhao Shiqi and other legions to follow.

Whether Cao Cao and Yuan Shao would support him, Chutian couldn't be sure. What he could be sure of was that if Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi knew that a main force of the Xiongnu was ahead, they would definitely support Chutian.

Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi were too eager for military exploits to be crowned marquis.

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty worshiped conquest by force, military exploits were the easiest way to obtain a feudal prince in addition to blood, so the style of martial arts was rampant. When the Huns attacked, the border generals attacked, but the Huns did not attack, and they had to find an excuse to fight them.

With the help of Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi's Han cavalry, Chu Tian did not have to worry about being surrounded by Hun cavalry and annihilating the whole army.

That night, in the Han army camp, Chu Tian ordered all the light cavalry to bring dry food, travel lightly, and began to chase and kill the Xiongnu Youxian King, while he left a small number of Iron Eagle scout cavalry, and later notified the rest of his teammates.

The Xiongnu's palace troops are the source of points, and if Chu Tian wants to take them all, he will not give them to Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. He eats meat, and Cao Cao and Yuan Shao can drink soup.

The Chutian Legion suddenly pulled out its camp and headed north, and the legions, all of which were light cavalry, marched extremely fast.

Cao Cao was in the camp, spreading out the map, but he heard a commotion in the camp next door.

At first, Cao Cao didn't care much about it, but after a little thought, it seemed that something was wrong.

"Wen Yuan, what's the hustle and bustle outside?"

Cao Cao summoned Zhang Liao and asked about off-the-books changes.

Zhang Liao replied: "Xuzhou Mu's camp soldiers and horses were mobilized, and the last general went to inspect and found that Xuzhou Mu's cavalry left the camp and went north. ”

"It's nightfall, and you're out of camp at this time?"

Cao Cao's strategy was second only to the first group of strategists in the Three Kingdoms, and he paced uneasily in the camp, and suddenly realized: "It seems that Chu Zimou has discovered the traces of the Hun cavalry, and he wants to take advantage of the battle alone. ”

Cao Cao's army was immediately mobilized, and Xiahou Yuan personally urged the troops that had already been camped to assemble, and the troops were in chaos for a while.

Generally speaking, the reconnaissance range of the Han army was only ten miles in radius, and the reconnaissance range in front and rear may be even farther, but Cao Cao could not detect that there would be thousands of Hun cavalry in front of him.

By the time Cao Cao had successfully assembled his cavalry, the Chutian army had already moved north.

Not only that, after Cao Cao was assembled, he fell into confusion. This is the desert, and the only way to march is by night. Chu Tian knew where the main force of the Xiongnu was, but Cao Cao didn't know.

After Cao Cao's army began to assemble troops, Yuan Shao's military advisers Xu You and Fu Zhu also realized that Chu Tian sent troops alone to enjoy the merits of the war, so he persuaded Yuan Shao to gather troops and horses in time to prepare for battle.

After Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi set off from the Chutian Army, they received a report from the Iron Eagle scouts that there were Xiongnu soldiers and horses in front, and Chu Zimou, the general of the righteous army, had gone north to chase him.

Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi were overjoyed when they heard that the main force of the Xiongnu was hundreds of miles away in the north, Li Guang's white beard trembled, and he finally had the opportunity to fight the main force of the Xiongnu.

The Iron Eagle scouts also informed Cao Cao and Yuan Shao of this news.

Cao Cao found that he was already behind Chu Tian, and he couldn't help but wonder why Chu Tian could learn information about the north. The terrain is quite unfamiliar.

"I hope I can share a little bit of the merits."

Even if Chu Tian was one step ahead, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao still had to go north to pursue the Hun cavalry. Without military exploits, this battle of Mobei would have come in vain.

Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi's 20,000 Han cavalry began to move north. Li Guang has a border cavalry under his command, which is a fifth-order light cavalry, with an average level of 70, and a division of a hundred battles. With the help of Li Guang's archers, Chu Tian could rest assured that he would attack the Hun cavalry.

The Han army camp was 100 miles north, the Hun camp was blazing, and the Hun cavalry slept peacefully.

In any case, they could not imagine that the Han army would run for hundreds of miles in a place that was almost completely unfamiliar to them, not to mention that it was still a cold night.

"Shan Yu has been waiting for work in Mobei, since the second king once served the Han Dynasty, he knows the reality of the Han army no better. This time, the Han army went deep into the desert, and once defeated, we chased and killed thousands of miles, and they would be annihilated. ”

"We must recapture Yinshan and recapture the Hetao with fertile water and grass."

The Hun cavalry who gathered around the campfire to keep vigil mentioned the war between the two sides and resented the loss of Hetao and Yinshan.

Suddenly, the familiar sound of horses' hooves sounded, and in the darkness, a cavalry struck from the south!

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves from the south, the Hun cavalry did not change color. Their king had withdrawn to the north, intending to fight the Han army in Mobei, and the cavalry coming from the south at this time could not be the Huns.

"Han Army! It's the Han Army! ”

The Hun cavalry hurriedly woke up their comrades and wanted to resist.

A round of arrows rained down, and dozens of Hun cavalry on the periphery were killed by the rain of arrows!

A large number of cavalry drove straight into the Hun camp on horseback!

Yang Wushu held a spear in his hand, using the Yang family's marksmanship, and rushed left and right in the enemy camp, and the Hun cavalry was hit in the head by the spear, killing instantly, and blood splashed into the blazing bonfire, making a sizzling sound!

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun marched forward and broke the Huns!

Zhao Yun used the legendary blacksmith Mo Ye to create a gentian bright silver spear (the only exclusive weapon of the imperial level), which was unstoppable among the Huns, and the fire was blown away, and the burning firewood fell into the Hun cavalry who did not have time to mount the horse, and the Hun cavalry let out a miserable scream. Zhao Yun then came and stabbed him to death with a spear!

The cavalry of the Yue cavalry battalion and the Changshui battalion drew their ring swords and slashed the Hun cavalry, and the Hun cavalry was killed in pieces.

The cavalry wreaked havoc, causing the flames of the fire to splash everywhere, and the fire gradually spread through the humble camp of the Huns, and finally formed a sea of fire!

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Hun cavalry began to flee north in a hurry.

"Draw your sword!"

Hua Mulan led a thousand iron eagle scouts and had already made a detour to the rear of this Hun cavalry. The Thousand Iron Eagle Scout pulled out his Tang sword, and the sharp blade pointed straight ahead.

Thousands of escaped Hun cavalry were harvested by the Iron Eagle scouts, and only more than 300 cavalry took advantage of the chaos to escape.

Chu Tian, Chen Qingzhi, Fang Xuanling, and Lu Su watched the battle in the rear.

Long-distance raids were already commonplace for Chu Tian, and the effect was as good as ever.

Chu Tian could see that his points were constantly increasing.

If he encounters tens of thousands of Hun cavalry, Chu Tian alone may have to avoid its edge, but since it is only a few thousand Hun cavalry, the difficulty has dropped tenfold. Send your fierce generals to attack directly.

"There are thousands of cavalry on the other side, there will always be people who escape, and the main force of the Huns will soon know that we have caught up, so we can only march quickly and get supplies by plundering the Huns, and make a big move!"

Before discovering the main force of the Xiongnu, Chutian relied on the Han army's baggage team for supplies.

It is said that it is taken from the enemy and used by the enemy, but that is also when there is an enemy. If you don't encounter an enemy in the Great Gobi and the desert, you will probably run out of food.

At this time, the main force of the Xiongnu was discovered, and Chutian could not rely on the baggage team of the Han army. Because, the Huns also had to eat, and their main force often brought a large number of livestock, and went to grab their livestock, so that they could get supplies!

Chutian's cavalry inflicted heavy losses on the Hun cavalry that was monitoring the Han army, and the Hun cavalry suffered eight or nine casualties, and only a few escaped. Cleaning the battlefield, Chutian obtained a lot of Xiongnu war horses, and immediately kept chasing the Xiongnu Youxian King to the north.
