Chapter 0060: Northern Khitan Ministry
Three hundred miles a day, five days of rapid travel, deep into the grassland.
At this time, the grassland has been covered with green grass, everything is recovering, and the grass blown by the gentle wind is bowed, and there is no edge in sight.
It was another night, the sky was clear, the moon was covered with dark clouds, and the thin spring rain invaded the earth.
"Is the probing clear? Which tribe is this? Zhang Yuan let the spring rain wet his armor, stood on a high ground, and looked at the hazy tribe in the spring rain, compared to the Jurchen tribe, this tribe is even larger, stretching for more than ten miles, full of cattle and sheep, and the fire of the whole tribe appears and disappears from time to time, which makes people unreal.
"Lord Hui, this is the Northern Khitan tribe!" Kong Qiuming said, along the way, he took a few people to hang Wan Yan Wanting's subordinates from afar, followed here, and looked at their dress and customs from a distance, and guessed that eight or nine were not far from ten.
The grassland here is vast, and the four dynasties border, but the grassland is too large, and it presents an ellipse, which can really be regarded as bordering, and can send troops to attack only the Han Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty to the Qin Dynasty. If you attack other dynasties at will, the logistics line will be too long, and it will be extremely dangerous.
There are ten tribes between the Han Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty, with a population of more than 100,000, and the rest of the small and medium-sized tribes are more numerous, dotted with huge grasslands.
For the ten major tribes, Zhang Yuan is the most clear, although the intelligence organization has not been established, but it is still possible to use the caravan to learn the general situation of the grassland from the mouths of small and medium-sized tribes, among which the information of the ten major tribes is the most.
'Peng Spleen is a man who rules the Khitan tribe, ambitious, treacherous and cunning, and has a deep mind, and from all signs he wants to unify the steppe, and he has achieved supreme success along the road of Genghis Khan, but he has not caused the siege of other tribes, which shows how deep his mind is, and it is normal if he does it! ’
However, he has an obvious weakness, that is, he is too gambling, I have analyzed every case of him, he calculated his liliang to the extreme in every battle, and almost always swallowed elephants with snakes, so the Khitan tribe soon grew into the fifth largest tribe under his leadership from an obscure medium-sized and small tribe. ’
This is where he is powerful and what is fatal, no one is a god who can know all and all. There is a way that it is inevitable to encounter ghosts when you walk too much at night! This time, he was indeed revealed! Zhang Yuan thought secretly.
If he hadn't spent a huge amount of money equivalent to 500,000 yuan in 500,000 taels of silver to invest in the army to form heavy cavalry, it would indeed be difficult for the troops he led to break through the medium-sized tribe of 3,000 people in a short time, and even if he was defeated, the time wasted would be useless.
But the ability of the heavy cavalry to attack the fortification is really the king of cold weapons, and he defeated the Zhengshuo Jurchen tribe in one attack, and learned the news from them, and also set up a bureau to follow the back of Wanyan Wanting's men and found his old hole.
It can only be counted as a person, and no matter how much it is calculated, it will eventually lose one of them.
"Where am I?" Wanyan Wanting slowly woke up, and his memory was still stuck in Xiao Lu's torture of him.
When a maid saw him awake, she said cautiously: "Master, this is your home, you have returned!" ”
"Coming back?" Wanyan Wanting's consciousness was not yet fully awake, and when he heard her words, his mind couldn't turn for a while, and he finally relieved his breath, and at this time, the witch doctor of the Northern Khitan Department also hurriedly walked in and checked him.
"I'm back, how did I come back?" Wanyan Wanting couldn't believe it, and immediately grabbed the witch doctor, but although he had been awakened by the witch doctor's treatment, the strength of his body seemed to have been drained, and he was weak and powerless, and he was broken free by the witch doctor, and the witch doctor said: "Don't be angry, what you need now is rest!" ”
The commander of the ten thousand is equivalent to the partial general of the Han Dynasty, and the name is different.
"Say, how did I get back?" Wan Yan Wanting said eagerly, he vaguely felt that something was wrong, no, he was almost sure that something was going to happen.
The witch doctor has a very high status in the grassland tribe, and the general witch doctor is a superior existence, the witch doctor saw that Yan Wanting was so eager, so he asked the maid to call the guards he rescued in, and as soon as the guards came in, Wan Yan Wanting asked, "Say, how did I come back?" ”
"At that time, we returned according to the orders of the adults, but before we left, we met the scattered Jurchen people, we were worried that something would happen to the adults, so we secretly hid again, and waited until the night, attacked the Jurchen tribe, and rescued the seriously injured and unconscious adults, at that time the adults were seriously injured and wanted to die, I didn't dare to delay and immediately took the adults to find the witch doctor for treatment!" The guards spoke clearly, and immediately told Wan Yan Wanting the ins and outs of the matter.
"No, it can't be, how could you get me out so easily, damn it, fooled!" Wanyan Wanting didn't know that he had been fooled, if he was sober at the time, he would definitely not let them bring him back to the tribe, but he didn't expect that the Han people were so cunning that they were seriously injured and unconscious, so as to mess up the position of the guards and directly expose the tribe.
"Quick, tell Captain Xiao Shilu to gather all the young and strong, the old and weak, and defend against the enemy......!!" Wanyan Wanting didn't care about the weakness of his body, and said loudly to the guards.
But it was already too late, and Xiao Shilu rushed over with his guards after hearing that Yan Wanting had woken up.
"Ding, enter the battlefield, and before the war is over, neither the dead player nor the aborigines can be resurrected!"
At the same time, Zhang Yuan's 250 heavy cavalry, with 30 heavy cavalry as an army, was divided into eight teams, of which 40 heavy cavalry led by him was the main attack, and the others were auxiliary, attacking the Khitan tribe from eight directions.
Thirty heavy cavalry is not too much, but enough to destroy all the enemies who have not been prepared, under the cover of the spring rain, two hundred and fifty horsemen outside the Khitan tribe, not yet discovered by the Khitans, until approaching, two teams were discovered by the Khitan patrols, but it was too late, they hurriedly organized the defense in front of the heavy cavalry, like paper, stabbed and broken.
The sound of killing was everywhere, the entire Khitan tribe was like an explosion, the chaos was from the outside to the inside, the soldiers could not find the generals, the generals could not find the soldiers, and the hastily organized teams were defeated one after another under the seven heavy cavalry that attacked everywhere.
Although the Northern Khitan tribe is larger than the Jurchen tribe, most of the young and strong combat power has been taken away, and only a few remain, and when Yan Wanting came back, although Xiao Shilu also realized something and stepped up his defense, he didn't expect Zhang Yuan to come so quickly, and he was caught off guard for a while.
What Xiao Shilu regretted the most was that he was not in the tent, but on the way to see Yan Wanting. Now that they were suddenly attacked and could not contact others in time, the tragic situation of the Northern Khitan tribe can be imagined.
