Chapter 111: Winter's Dependence
More than 100,000 cavalry was already difficult to win in the face of millions of troops.
In addition, now in the hinterland of the Xiongnu, the terrain is not familiar, and the geographical advantage has been lost to the Xiongnu.
In addition, with the millions of troops of the Xiongnu, the Su and Mo sides were only more than 100,000, and the number of people was also greatly behind.
He had heard in the Great Zhou Dynasty that Su Mo had a lot of achievements, the so-called victory in a hundred battles, defeating the strong with the weak, winning more with less, and so on.
If it was placed in normal times, he would naturally praise Su Mo and have a 100% grasp of the battle situation.
But the current situation is that the 20,000 vanguard army under his command will face the millions of troops head-on.
No matter how much he comforted himself, he was still uneasy in his heart.
Once he failed to penetrate into the hinterland of the Xiongnu this time, he would not be able to raise his head in front of everyone at all.
As a general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the first battle ended in a fiasco, and he naturally could not gain a foothold in the border army in the future.
Even if Su Mo still trusted him, Chen Wu himself would not continue to stay in the border army as the deputy commander of the vanguard army.
Not only him, but even the Great Zhou Dynasty, which went deep into the hinterland with him, would become extremely embarrassed and difficult to gain a foothold in the border pass.
Therefore, this battle was quite important for the generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Different from Chen Wu's worries, as the commander of the vanguard army, Cheng Meng only thought about obtaining more military merits now.
For the so-called millions of Hun troops, he didn't care about it in his heart.
Since the general has already said that he will meet the enemy head-on, then he will do it.
As for the so-called doubts and concerns, those were not things he considered.
Before the previous general came to the border pass, who would have thought that it would take him only ten years to make the border pass look new?
Closer to it, the millions of troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty approached Tai'an City, who would have thought that more than 100,000 border troops could defeat the millions of troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
As for the later military advisor Zhuge Liang and deputy general Bai Qi, these two are the first people in the border army today, second only to Su Mo.
If it had been placed earlier, who would have dared to believe that such a person would choose to come to the border?
Will you choose to take refuge in Su Mo again?
As for the 30,000 bloody iron horsemen, the appearance of the 80,000 Mengjia army can only be explained by miracles.
After all, the appearance of these 110,000 military horses is too strange and strange.
Scouts on both sides did not find this group of elite troops, and each time they appeared, they could defuse a great crisis.
These 110,000 troops are not only amazingly powerful, but also superior to the most elite cavalry of the border army.
The equipment on his body is also more exaggerated, all of them are forged tools, worth thousands of gold.
Cheng Meng couldn't figure out what kind of background could afford to raise these 110,000 elite troops.
Therefore, he has 100% trust in Su Mo.
Even if the general asked him to face millions of troops alone, he only felt that the general must be prepared to defeat the enemy army head-on.
On the other side, the news that the Xiongnu had gathered millions of troops soon spread to all countries, and all the countries on the Kyushu continent were shocked.
Within the Dawu Dynasty, Hubu Shangshu said with a surprised face: "I never expected that the Xiongnu would be able to gather a million troops, it seems that there are still many crises on the grassland." ”
On the side, Shangshu of the military department looked at the civil officials with disdain, and said proudly: "I said before that the Huns cannot be easily provoked, and you also said that Ben Shangshu is as timid as a mouse, how is it now?" ”
"The Xiongnu have occupied the grassland for hundreds of years, and there has never been a dynasty that has completely defeated the Xiongnu, how can its heritage be underestimated?"
Not only was he quite proud, but the generals were also arrogant, looking as if they had returned home with a big victory.
Previously, all the civil officials were clamoring to send troops to the Xiongnu and take the border together.
Now they have died down, looking defeated, which makes the lieutenants refreshed.
On the other side, within the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was a sound of schadenfreude.
Lu Mingxuan, the head of the household department, took the lead and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, you don't need Zhao'an Su Mo to solve the disaster of the border pass!" ”
"Presumably, this must be God's eyes opener and punish those who plot rebellion!"
On the side, Shangshu and others from the military department also congratulated one after another.
Everyone knows Xiao Xuan quite well.
Their majesty hated Su Mo to the core, and now that the millions of Xiongnu troops are on the grassland, they are bound to be able to kill Su Mo directly.
At that time, the Great Zhou Dynasty will have one less worries, and it will also be good news for everyone.
On the dragon chair, Xiao Xuan watched the officials congratulate him, and he was also quite happy in his heart, as long as Su Mo suffered, he would inevitably be happy in his heart.
When the national teacher came to Zhao'an before, he was reluctant in his heart.
If there is a way to kill Su Mo, he will never edict An.
However, it is a shame for the large periphery army, and it was in vain to raise an army of millions twice.
Now that the millions of Xiongnu troops are encircling Su Mo on the grassland, he doesn't believe that the latter can leave alive.
Xiao Xuan looked at the military department and said in a cold voice: "Mobilize all the plans of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the Xiongnu, and let them take the opportunity to kill Su Mo!" ”
"At all costs, leave Su Mo in the grassland!"
Hearing his words, the face of the military department Shangshu changed suddenly.
Then thinking of Xiao Xuan's hatred for Su Mo, he understood in his heart, he bowed his head and said, "Weichen obeys!" ”
On the side, Hubu Shangshu and others were shocked.
At all costs, is this to mobilize all the scouts buried in the Xiongnu of the Great Zhou Dynasty?
It seems that His Majesty's resentment towards Su Mo is deeper than everyone thought.
While the Great Zhou Dynasty was gloating, the Liyang Dynasty was watching from the wall.
From the civil and military officials to the common people.
Everyone didn't care about how many armies the Xiongnu had gathered and whether Su Mo could win or not.
If Su Mo wins, it will have no impact on the Liyang Dynasty, and it can't be defeated now anyway.
If Su Mo loses, the Great Zhou Dynasty will inevitably send troops again, and they will not be able to take Xiangguan.
So the whole dynasty was as calm as if nothing had happened.
As for the Xiongnu royal court, it was completely different, and King Youxian transferred all the 300,000 troops under his command.
In addition, the 500,000 army of the royal court, and the 200,000 army under the command of King Zuoxian, made up the million army of the Xiongnu royal court, and went to the place where Su Mo was.
His purpose was extremely simple.
Kill Su Mo, establish authority on the mainland of Kyushu, and let the dynasties see the true strength of the Xiongnu royal court.
……
Just when the Xiongnu royal court was planning to annihilate Su Mo in one fell swoop, the first batch of low-priced beef and mutton began to be distributed on the border.
Outside the firm, Zhao Chunsheng came anxiously with fifty taels of silver tickets.
Looking at the aimless long queue in front of him, he was both excited and nervous.
Excitedly, people kept smiling and leaving with beef and mutton.
This shows that the general really took out beef and mutton and sold it to them at a low price.
What is nervous is that I don't know if there is any low-cost meat to buy when I get to myself.
As the team got closer and closer, Zhao Chunsheng's heart beat faster and faster.
His hands couldn't help but clench the silver ticket in his hand.
It's not just fifty taels of silver.
It is also the dependence on whether he and his son can survive the winter.
He could already smell the beef and mutton clearly at this time.
