Chapter 598: Northern Xinjiang Determination

The Northern Barbarian army was defeated.

A swarm fled north.

To flee is to throw away the armor.

Fleeing is a loss of heart.

The Northern Barbarian soldiers who had no war horses were trampled to death by their companions who had war horses!

The Northern Barbarian soldiers, who fled slowly, were killed by their companions who fled quickly!

They fled for their lives.

The Dali army behind was chased for no time.

Those who have war horses use knives to cut down war horses that are more elaborate than raising sons in the past, and desperately catch up.

If they don't have a war horse, they round their legs as heavy as lead, and they will chase after them and slash them.

The Northern Barbarians are coming.

He took possession of our mountains and rivers, slaughtered our fathers and fathers, and slew our robes......

Now we have finally won.

The eight lambs of the king will flee!

How can there be such a cheap thing in this world!

Debt repayment!

Kill for your life!

If you want to escape, first ask us if the knife in our hand will agree!

......

The rout army is not as good as the Kou, and the stray army is not as good as the thief.

All the great battles in history have proved that heavy casualties often occur not in battles, but in routs......

But the Northern Barbarian army still has a little bit of morale.

Don't say it's fifty or sixty thousand.

That's 50,000 or 60,000 pigs!

The Dali soldiers didn't kill them all so easily!

But the defeat was like a mountain.

The Northern Barbarian soldiers have gone from a strong army that is majestic, high-spirited, and swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger to a frightened flock of sheep......

No!

The sheep are in a hurry, and they dare to scare the wolves with their horns!

The current Northern Barbarian army is a flock of ducks!

A flock of ducks that can only "quack" and run away!

In the face of the wolf-like pursuit of the Dali army in the rear, what they wanted was not to regroup and turn around to face the battle, but to frantically twitch their horses and surpass their companions in front.

When two people meet a bear in the forest, I don't need to run faster than the bear, I just need to run faster than you......

At this time, the congenital defects of the Northern Barbarian army were highlighted.

The Northern Barbarians live in the form of a tribe on the Tianji grassland.

Although at the top, there is the Golden Wolf Royal Court that rules the entire Tianji Grassland.

But most of the time, the Golden Wolf Court's control over the various tribes was extremely weak.

In a sense, the Heavenly Khan in the Northern Barbarian Golden Wolf Court is more of an existence similar to a spiritual leader, ruling over millions of Northern Barbarians.

Most of the time, the Beiban tribe lived in a self-sufficient independent kingdom model, living in the Tianji grassland, and rarely intersected with the surrounding tribes.

It's not uncommon to fight for women, food, and pasture.

Looting, killing, and annexing are the eternal theme of the Tianji Grassland!

Only when the grassland was hit by snow and the rations were insufficient, the Heavenly Khan of the Northern Barbarians would issue a war mobilization order for Dali.

At that time, the young warriors of the various tribes of the Northern Barbarians will prepare their own horses and armor, rush to the assembly place, and gather into a large army under the command of the white wolf lord who is already the superior of the Tianji grassland!

This is also why the Northern Barbarian army charged, and it was a wolf pack battle formation for 10,000 years.

Because they have not experienced any systematic military training at all!

The barren products of the Tianji Grassland cannot support a huge army to carry out high-intensity military training for a long time without production.

The only mission of the formation of the Northern Barbarian army was to go south to seize land and food.

If we can grab enough land and food to alleviate the disaster of the snowstorm, everyone will be happy.

It doesn't matter if you can't grab it.

The war will consume a large number of young and strong people with big stomachs, and the saved rations can also sustain the northern barbarians through the long cold winter, so that they can recover in the spring of the next year......

This is the law of survival of the Northern Barbarians.

Cruel.

Extinction of humanity.

But it works!

This kind of improvised army, calling them a rabble, is insulting the rabble!

But!

The unparalleled cavalry combat effectiveness of the Northern Barbarians, coupled with the strong mobility brought by excellent war horses, and the bloody courage of the Northern Barbarians themselves who are not afraid of death, are enough to make up for most of the drawbacks of the temporary army!

Especially in the downwind battle, the Northern Barbarian army is almost invincible!

In the final analysis, this is a cold weapon battle, no matter how far-sighted the strategy is, no matter how tactics are exhausted, in the end, it has to be carried out by the lowest level of soldiers with swords.

In terms of combat effectiveness, the Northern Barbarians ranked first in the world in cavalry warfare.

In terms of strategy, the ruling class of the Northern Barbarians did not lack wise men.

In terms of tactics, most of the Northern Barbarians are straightforward and inflexible, and they are unable to flexibly deal with the rapidly changing battle situation.

But sometimes, it's also an advantage to be honest and inflexible!

At least, they will not discount the strategy of commander-in-chief!

For example, when Zhang Chu was the fake county soldier Cao of Jintianfu, the 30,000 Northern Barbarian army besieged the city for four days and four nights, and from the 30,000 cavalry to the end of the mountains and rivers where only a few thousand people remained, they still bit Jintianfu and did not let go!

With this tenacity and ruthlessness that goes deep into the bone marrow, how many people can match it?

Looking at the Northern Barbarian commander's use of troops, opening and closing, and breaking through the tricks with strength, the characteristics of the Northern Barbarian army undoubtedly complement each other!

Since the Northern Barbarians entered the customs, the only conspiracy of the Northern Barbarian commanders was this rainy night surprise attack on the Battle of Jintianfu.

And although he lost this battle, he was defeated not in strategy, but in the variable of Zhang Chu.

If any of the generals in the Great Departure Army are in Zhang Chu's position, it is impossible to make the same decision as him!

Zhang Chu dared to make such a decision, not because of how smart and courageous he was.

The main reason why he was able to make such a risky decision was because Zhang Chu was the leader of the Xuanbei Martial Arts Alliance after all, not an orthodox army general, and he had the confidence and qualifications to ignore all the terms and conditions in the army!

As the saying goes, if you are not in your position, you are not in charge.

Everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, and does not care about the frost on the tiles of others.

Zhang Chu was in Dabao County and was in charge of military orders.

In the Great Departure Army, that general dared to disobey the military order and mobilize the people to do something that he couldn't fight with his eight poles?

Even if it's Huo Hongye, I'm afraid it can't!

Another reason is that Zhang Chu's purpose in appearing on the battlefield is very pure.

He didn't want to be successful, and he didn't want to be famous.

I don't want to be promoted to the rank of official and named the wolf.

He went north, just to block the Northern Barbarians, defeat the Northern Barbarians, and drive the Northern Barbarians.

So when there is a turning point in the battle situation, he can abandon all external influences and choose the direction that is most beneficial to Dali!

If there is no Zhang Chu to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to return to help in time.

The best result of this battle is that the defenders in Jintianfu discovered the attacking Northern Barbarian army in advance, defended the city, sat back and watched the Northern Barbarians push off one of the left and right wings, and then turned around and ate the 30,000 garrisons in Dabao County and the two teams of Zhang Chu and Ji Ba, and calmly retreated to the base camp of Yanqi County!

In this battle, the Northern Barbarians dispatched 150,000 elite iron cavalry and dozens of Qi Sea Heroes, under such a huge disparity in strength, even if Zhang Chu and Ji Ba could meet in time, they would never dare to fight with them, that would be to death!

And under such a huge disparity in strength, the city walls of Dabao County will not be stronger than firewood.

The first battle lost 140,000 soldiers and horses, even if Ran Lin had Zhuge Kongming's strategy and Zhou Gongjin's wisdom, he was determined to be unable to maintain the northern defense line and block the northern barbarians' troops.

Let's get back to the point.

The characteristics of the Northern Barbarian army determine that they are invincible in the wind battle.

But once defeated, all the mines hidden in the Northern Barbarian army will be sounded together, burying themselves!

First, the military discipline of the Northern Barbarian army was lax, or in other words, there was no such thing as military discipline at all, so they could not maintain a complete formation in the event of a rout, and retreat while fighting.

Second, the Northern Barbarian army is a temporary army, and the sergeants and soldiers are herdsmen from all directions of the Tianji Grassland, and they have not undergone a long period of orthodox military training, so naturally there is no friendship with robes, on the contrary, the Northern Barbarians are cruel and cruel, and there are countless enemies, this kind of army, when it is really time to rout and flee for their lives, expect them to take care of the lives of their companions, and even be willing to sacrifice themselves in order to cover the retreat of their companions, which is undoubtedly too nonsense!

Third, the Northern Barbarians are slavery, as the white wolf master of the ruling class, is not only the leader of the tribe, but also the largest slave owner in the tribe, this kind of class oppression for generations of imprint, is extremely deep-rooted, as long as the direct white wolf master still exists, no matter how bad the war situation is, it will not collapse to the point of hopelessness, but once the white wolf master is gone, the situation will immediately develop like another extreme.

......

If the Northern Barbarians can really advance and retreat, they will fight and retreat.

There is really nothing the army can do with them!

After all, in the Northern Barbarian Army, even the infantry, they are all old soldiers with their own war horses.

And the only two cavalry on the Dali side, the 10,000 cavalry under Wang Zhen, have been lost more than half, and they can't afford to fight again.

The 30,000 cavalry under Zhang Chu braved the rain to run for 120 miles, and they were already sleepy and lacking horses.

If the Northern Barbarians slipped away quickly, the Dali army would be able to chase and kill for twenty miles at most, and then they could only watch them fly away.

But when the northern barbarians were so chaotic that they all trampled, they almost killed each other in front of the Dali army.

The pursuing Dali soldiers have not much to do.

Press it up.

When he saw the Northern Barbarians lying on the ground, he made up for it.

When he saw the northern barbarians standing on the ground, he slashed them.

Monotonous, boring.

But it is filled with the joy of a good harvest.

Hunt down all the way.

More and more corpses were thrown by the northern barbarians on the horse road.

There were fewer and fewer northern barbarians fleeing ahead.

A short time later, another thunderclap-like shout came from the north.

"A certain Ji Ba, the Northern Barbarian child died quickly!"

Zhang Chu, who was following the rear of the army with medicine, heard this angry shout, and the boulder hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.

He wanted to laugh.

Although laughing on a battlefield full of corpses is a bit out of place.

But he just wanted to laugh.

Jiba came back alive.

None of the Northern Barbarians wanted to escape back to Yanqi County alive.

Mother, Big Bear, Li Zheng......

Northern barbarians, they're going to die!

You can go home......
