Chapter 841: Preemptive Strike
"Let's go!" Just as the Dzungar and Turghut tribes of Warat were slowly mobilizing their forces, an army had already been drawn from Tongtian City.
The army is a total of 10,000 people, except for 5,000 people brought from the Ming Dynasty, the other 5,000 people are selected from the local herdsmen young and strong, trained for half a year, one by one looks quite imposing, but I don't know how much combat effectiveness can have. A bunch of soldiers, I don't see blood, and it's useless to practice at home for a hundred years.
Because it is located in the grassland, it is a natural horse breeding land, and there is no shortage of horses, but there are not many war horses. Because the war horses can't just feed grass, they also need to feed some soybeans and eggs for a long time, and the food in Babel City is only enough for people to eat, so how can there be a surplus supply for livestock.
Therefore, Fang Hong just let these people set off on horses, and then dismounted and fought on foot when it was time for a battle.
"Hiss. "On the back of a tall horse, stood a yellow-skinned man, who at the moment looked like a little old man, hunched over his waist and with his hands behind his back.
Today's yellow skin is getting stronger and stronger, and his wisdom can already catch up with ordinary adults. If you refine the horizontal bone or come out of the Yin God at this moment, you can immediately become a monster.
However, Fang Hong did not pass on any cultivation methods to it, but let it practice boxing with Yang Jingye. Although its body structure is different from that of humans, it has the same boxing theory, and after teaching the boxing theory, it naturally changes the boxing method to suit itself.
Although it has lost its vast squareness, it is more weird and ruthless, which is more in line with the body of the yellow skin.
This time, Huang Pizi also participated, don't look at its small body, but when necessary, one person can be worth an army. Because of its small body and agile movements, it is extremely terrifying whether it is a frontal charge or a covert assassination.
The speed of the march of the army was extremely fast, coupled with the flat terrain of the grassland, and the speed of the road was extremely fast, and in only three days, it crossed the Tanglu Ridge and entered Qierjisi.
In the Tang Dynasty, it was also attached to Middle-earth, but many years ago, Qiergis had been driven away by Warat, and now it is the territory of Warat.
Qiergis is the territory of the Dzunkar Ministry, I have to say, the efficiency of the integration of the army of the Warats is too low, this is related to their mechanism, a tribe, divided into countless large and small nobles, if you want to mobilize the army, you need to gather these nobles, through these nobles to gather their soldiers. Moreover, their population is too scarce, although they claim to be all soldiers, but they do not have a large number of professional soldiers like the Ming Dynasty. If they want to crusade against Babel City, it will take five or six days just to gather an army.
Not only Warat, but also Tatar, they should be glad that they have a neighbor like Daming, who doesn't look down on the land outside the Guan, so they won't take the initiative to invade the country outside the Guan, which makes them not need to quickly assemble troops.
However, they encountered the castle of Babel, which did not play its cards according to common sense, and took the lead in attacking, fighting fast and slow, and before the Warat army was assembled, they had already attacked the doorstep.
The Mongols were not good at building cities and used to live in yurts. Therefore, when Jiang Bin and others arrived with a large army, the Warat people could not rely on the city to resist the attack.
"The people from Tongtian City are here? it will be so fast, but since they want to rush over to send them to death, then we should not be polite! Those people from the Heshute Department are also waste, and they didn't stop those people. In the sweat tent of the Dzunkar Ministry, a big man with a beard slapped the table and said loudly.
This man was the Khan of Dzunkar, named Uhar, who had always been extremely conceited, believing that he would one day lead Varat to defeat the Tatars and restore the glory of Varat.
However, those who knew him knew that this person was just a man of great ambition and talent, courage and resourcelessness, not to mention the Tatar nobles, and even the nobles of the Warat tribes looked down on him.
"How's the mobilization of our soldiers?" he asked loudly as he summoned one of his own soldiers. He had ordered the nobles of the Kar tribe to send troops five days earlier, and it stands to reason that they should have almost gathered at this moment.
"Great Khan, the army has gathered 20,000 men, and there are still 5,000 men left. The soldier hurriedly said loudly, several nobles went hunting in the distance, and they did not receive the news in time, so it was delayed.
Although it is also divided into the ranks of the nobility, it is not like the Ming Dynasty, and there is a strict hierarchy between the upper and lower levels. A large nobleman's subordinates may have many small nobles, and those small nobles may also be divided into many smaller nobles or commoners, the big nobles can command the small nobles, but not the subordinates of the small nobles, which is equivalent to my vassals not my vassals.
Therefore, when there was a war, the minor nobles would lead their subordinates to their superiors, and then the superiors would lead them to the Khan, and on weekdays, they would each manage their own territory.
In this way, which was the basis for maintaining this huge Mongol empire, it was possible to occupy the territory to the maximum. But it has also led to a big problem, that is, it is inefficient, and it often happens that listening to the tune does not listen to the announcement.
The original Mongol Empire had a vast territory, but after Kublai Khan came to power, three of the four khanates under him turned against him and were unwilling to recognize his status at all.
"20,000 people, that's enough, give me armor, I'm going to kill it. The Uhar took a large sip of mare's milk wine, then licked his lips, a bloodthirsty glint flashing in his eyes.
He has been aggrieved in Warat for too long, their power in Warat has declined, there are only three major tribes, and there are eight tribes in the Tatars next door, and they can't beat people at all, and now that a gang has finally come to die, he has to kill them well.
In his opinion, the people of Babel City were not worth mentioning at all, and a force with a total of more than 50,000 people could come up with how many people to fight? Although he had occasionally heard some strange rumors there, he did not take it to heart.
As soon as he had finished speaking, several servants entered and began to put on his armor. The armor of the Warats is made of leather, with several layers of thick sewing and iron nails inlaid at key points, which is extremely strong, lighter than metal armor, but not inferior in defensive ability.
However, before he could put on his armor, a burst of fighting and screaming broke out outside.
"What's going on? Who told you to do it?" the Uhar didn't care about putting on his armor, pushed away the people around him, and strode out of the tent.
He thought that it was his subordinates who made the first move, after all, the gang of Tongtian City had spent so long on the road, they should hurry up and repair it, how could they attack at this time?
