Chapter 370: Grassland Turmoil
Liu Cang Julu met Cao Cao outside the city, and the two didn't seem to say anything serious, and they seemed to have made some terrible agreement.
However, Cao Cao's marriage with Liu Cang is basically a real hammer.
Marry Cao Cao's daughter, who will marry?
Zhang Zhi will definitely not succeed, if Zhang Zhi is on it, Cao Cao will flip the table if he says it badly.
Liu Qian? It seems that Liu Cang feels a little lost again.
Alas, he is really a father, and he has to think about finding a daughter-in-law for his own cub when he goes on an expedition, Liu Cang pondered, with his current strength compared with Cao Cao, he should have no opinion on the eldest son to marry his daughter.
Zhongshan Hui Army, Dian Wei, Xu Qun two battalions into the army, to Zhuo County, Pan Feng handed over the official duties to Zhen Yan temporarily, led 2,000 elite soldiers, and stationed in Yanmen with the army to prevent chaos in the rear.
Out of Yanmen, the cavalry army went out, sweeping the area of Dingli in the Great Wall, Yunzhong to Jiuyuan, dozens to hundreds of horse bandits, and it was impossible to tell whether it was Xianbei going south.
Through Jiuyuan from the surrendered city out of the Great Wall, the surrendered city is the Great Wall linkage Guancheng, Liuluo Zhi, Chen Deng led the flying bear elite 100 people stationed in the surrendered city, to prevent the retreat is blocked, if there is no cooperation, cut the general to capture the army.
After marching thirty miles on the grassland, the scout did not come, and the front army inexplicably watched a team of thousands of cavalry chasing this scout from behind the grass.
"Ahh Strange shouts and shouts, the wild cavalry crossed the grassy knoll, and the sight was filled with the array of armored soldiers in the field.
Because of the topography here, although the slope is not large, but the hills still block the view, the Xianbei cavalry game-like shouting and shouting stopped abruptly, the front row of cavalry seemed to be choked by the neck, the rear row of cavalry slightly charged, casually shouted and scolded.
Maybe it was because he didn't expect to encounter the Han army, or maybe he had long been accustomed to scattering and killing, and the cavalry that had been drawn vertically turned over the hills one after another, and the army on Liu Cang's side, the sound of opening the strings had already condensed.
"Shoot!" There was no need for a general's order, the excitement on the faces of this group of cavalrymen, who were all Xianbei rangers, had not yet dissipated, and the Tianshu battalion soldiers would give orders in a slightly inexplicable tone.
The arrows were like flying locusts, and the dark green grass knoll was stained blood-red.
A thousand-strong Xianbei cavalry rushed in front of the 100,000-strong army, and they didn't run, and the two wings of the Han army 'swallowed' them when they marched normally.
The army marched up the hill and looked out into the open space, and the cavalry that had been trampled earlier into bloody mud.
Xianbei is used to robbing Han land, and many times he doesn't even need a big clan organization.
The small Xianbei came out in a group, and the herdsmen followed when they came home to copy knives and guns, and an army came out all the way, and the cavalry probably belonged to this style earlier.
The large army has the deterrence of the large army, and the small group has the advantage of a small force, compared with the large army that is easier to attract the hostility of the Han army, the border between the northern Han land and the Xianbei forces is extremely long, and the small force maneuver is the current Xianbei popular plundering mode
"Woo~~" horn sounded.
"East Forty ~~" Chinese army order.
"East Forty!" Tianshu should be reconciled.
"West Sixty~"
"West Sixty!"
"Three hundred miles, out!"
"Out!" The sound was conveyed, the generals of the hussar army came out together, the soldiers divided their ways, the cavalry team was like locusts, and the cavalry team seemed to be like a long snake, fanning into the grassland.
"Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin!" In front of Liu Cang's chariot, Hua Xiong gave an endorsement.
"The last general!" The two responded.
"Go two hundred miles, and the enemy will be slaughtered." Hua Xiong Le Ma drank the order.
"Whoa!" The two hugged their fists and left, and the Yangzhou army moved.
The autumn breeze blows, accompanied by the fragrance of grass clippings. The endless armor soldiers rushed in formation, flashing with the cold light of metal in the sun, as if they were about to announce the arrival of winter in advance on this grassland full of life.
There is Liaoxi Xianbei in the north of Yuyang, and Liaodong Xianbei in the northeast of Liaoning, both of which are in the east of Liucang, and the direction of Liu Cang's first army is the north of Jiuyuan.
Liu Cang's main target this time was Baibu Xianbei, and the grassland campaign was not as good as the Han land, and the enemy's dispersal into the vast grassland was the biggest problem in the campaign here.
Jia Xu had already discussed with Liu Cang about the deployment, and the spread of the army was not only to block the fleeing Xianbei, but also to let the surrounding nomads gather more in the Baibu area, so as to lure the other party to gather troops to fight.
The Xianbei region is vast, the vastness is a bit excessive, and the 70,000 army dispersed, and dissipated in the vast grassland in a moment.
Liu Cang led the Flying Bear Battalion, accompanied by 30,000 auxiliary soldiers, rode heavily to open the way, rushed to prepare for battle, and rode heavily to recuperate, and the elephant team was like a moving fortress. If the enemy attacks, you can also build a castle on the ground.
In order to enter the grassland to confront Xianbei, Liu Cang hoarded a large number of war horses, except for the Yangzhou army, the rest of the army was equipped with war horse maneuvers.
Liu Cang only left Jia Xu and Hua Xiong by his side, including Zhou Yu and Tai Shici, who scattered into various departments and rushed with him. Hua Xiong took Dian Wei's place and acted as Liu Cang's escort herald.
At this time, Dian Wei's cavalry was running against a tribe.
The Tianxuan battalion is a heavy step system, Xuzhou has been fighting beasts for two years, and the first battalion has an extraordinary physique, even compared to the flying bear in the early years, and the strong strength makes them simply incarnate into camel cavalry when they face ordinary enemies.
Stone houses are built in groups, and this kind of camp built with stone houses represents the local power of Xianbei in the grassland, where there is the existence of nobles, and it is also a transit station for the exchange of various ethnic groups on the Xianbei grassland.
The blade of the axe was stabbed, and the soldier in the camel saddle slammed the axe blade on the top of the head of the Xianbei cavalry with his backhand, and the helmet of the dome was deformed by the axe, and when the great force came, the cavalryman's neck almost sank into the chest was even more unbearable and fatal.
Rushing to disperse the cavalry formation, the axe and the axe smashed and slashed also caused death and wounding all the way, an enemy army that did not need them to fight in formation, broke the skull and broke the neck all the way, Dian Wei led the army to kill the young men who were hastily killed in this gathering place with only low walls.
"Hugh~" The piercing whistle was accompanied by shouting, and the Xianbei young man who straddled the horse no longer fought with Dian Wei and others, and fled in all directions, and in the flying of broken grass and soil, the Xianbei riders ran out of the arc, gathered far away, and formed a cavalry team in a blink of an eye.
"Kill! Kill these damn tooth checkers. A humble strong man tore off his luxurious robe, and the sudden attack made the strong man angry and angry, and shouted to the cavalry to kill Dian Wei and his party again.
Tooth checker? Dian Wei didn't know what the tooth checker was, obviously this humble strong man recognized the wrong person.
However, Dian Wei and his party were not regular cavalry in the end, and it was not suitable for him to pursue the enemy in the face of the escape and convergence of the Xianbei riders.
Seeing that the other party wanted to use horsemanship to shoot at them, the Tianxuan soldiers, who were even more numerous than the Xianbei cavalry, took out the heavy crossbow hanging in the camel's belly.
"Ding~Ding~" The arrow missed and collided with the armor to bring out the sound of Mars.
"Puff~Puff~" The crossbow missed through the leather armor and shot a famous Xianbei cavalryman off his horse.
Are those nail stomachs real guys?
"Damn! Han crossbow! Blow the trumpet, get close! The Xianbei strong man cursed and scolded, but his eyes flashed with greedy desire as he stared at the heavy crossbow in the hands of Dian Wei and his party.
"Woo~" The horn sounded.
Dian Wei ordered the Tianxuan battalion to gather troops to take precautions, and the Xianbei cavalry ran non-stop, in case they were locked by the strong crossbows of the Han army. In the blink of an eye, I saw a large number of armed people pouring out of the Xianbei settlement.
There are men and women, old and young, iron armor hanging, cloth and animal skins, knives, guns, axes and forks, miscellaneous weapons, obviously, the horn is to make all the Xianbei soldiers in the gathering place to fight to the death with Dian Wei and others.
Pack horses and yaks were either ridden or driven to the Tianxuan camp, and even the women threw their bows as they went, apparently not the first time they had dealt with such a war.
The grassland has never been harmonious, and at this time, the regular wars and battles here are probably more lively than those in the Han land.
In the blink of an eye, thousands of crazy people with all kinds of weapons even smashed stones and rushed towards Dian Wei and the others, and behind the crowd, the Xianbei cavalry also drew out their melee weapons and rushed again.
"Dismount!" Dian Wei shouted.
All the members of the Tianxuan battalion jumped off the saddle and held their hands, and the army quickly formed a phalanx of ten or two hundred people.
"Livestock! Run, it's the Han Army! Dian Wei's rapid formation of the leader also made the other party's leader find the slot, shouting and scolding, but it was too late.
The world was shocked when he danced, but unfortunately Liu Cang's military order did not have a link to deal with Xianbei. Rushing to kill, an army can carry the heavy dance of the top and the galloping horse, and the blood spring is surging in the flow of people in an instant.
Siege and slaughter is not a simple fight, the military formation spreads out the range that can maximize the combat power, offset, divide, trap and transform into trap the enemy, the formation of the Han army in the era of cold weapons, the difference between the army and the mob is vividly reflected at this moment.
"Withdraw! Fall back! The chief shouted.
Heavy infantry, this horse is not a tooth checker pretending to be a ghost, it is the heavy infantry of the Han army, they lost the opportunity and could not move.
Amid the shouts of the Xianbei chieftain, all the Xianbei people on horseback scattered again, and those old and young who were besieged by heavy steps were not questioned at all.
The hideous expressions of the old and young turned into horror, crying and begging for mercy.
"Kill!" Dian Wei angrily swung his halberd and slashed several people in front of him.
Xianbei can't gnaw at them, but in the grassland of Pingchuan, Xianbei can't catch up with them if they want to run Dian Wei.
The Xianbei cavalry scattered and fled, and only after running for more than ten miles did they concentrate again.
"Damn, go to the White Department, the Han people really called." Scolded and looked back, seeing that Dian Wei did not chase after him, the leader of Xianbei said to the cavalry beside him.
"Boom~Boom~" The iron hooves shook the ground, and the face of the Xianbei leader changed suddenly, which was not like the movement that the Xianbei cavalry could make.
The scene that made the Xianbei leader stunned appeared, and a cavalry army came out from behind the low mountain on the side, this time it was a war horse, not a camel.
"Shoot!" Running and shooting, the first general pointed at the big knife in his hand, and the arrows in the sky covered the Xianbei leader. Xu Qun led the Kaiyang camp to pass by.
