"Half of the country's qi is on the emperor, and he doesn't have a son yet...... Well, I used to think that the emperor had a hidden illness, and last month I had a concubine with the newly arrived Wu family...... It's weird. ”

Empress Dowager He knew that the emperor was Ye Qing's doppelganger, and after thinking for a while, she turned to Concubine Wu's bedroom......

Tiger Prison

The continuous red flags, converging together, riding and riding, rolling away, are queuing up to pass the guò level.

Under the banner of the dragon, the guards passed by solemnly, and there were three hundred guards in front and behind the emperor's ride, and there were thousands of Yulin troops in the distance.

I saw that the yellow curtain was rolled up, and there was a person sitting on the seat inside, it was Ye Qing, who looked up at the blue sky at this time, and his expression was not worry-free, and even ...... Somewhat boring.

I have long been accustomed to the battlefield of Rongma, and I feel that I am a mascot on this trip!

However, both to Yanzhou, or ...... Drop by to meet some long-dormant hero?

After half a ring, Ye Qing remembered a little and asked, "Where is General Zhao Zilong now?"

The emperor suddenly spoke, and the real person in charge of the contact with him was startled, and immediately reacted and said: "Half an hour ago, the last communication, 40,000 cavalry troops have reached the north of Chang'an City, and the banners have died down, and the men and horses are ready to enter the Qin Straight Road to the north as planned.

"No, that's fine. ”

Ye Qing waved his hand, the purpose of this Dao soldier had long been determined, judging from the enemy's current clumsy appearance, it was a bit of a knife to kill chickens......

Of course, it may also be Murong Zheng's deliberate weakness and disguise, but it doesn't matter, crush the past, and collide with real heavy troops, and everything will appear.

At the same time, Jia Xu, Xi Zhicai, and Ji Caizhu, who were accompanying them, all glanced at each other, and the speed of this army was so fast.

The march of 40,000 people is not easier and simpler than a few thousand people, and the 70,000 people of the Northern Army are all Qi refining layer Dao soldiers, but most of the previous ones were in the area of Hanzhong in Shudi, and they only issued an order to make an urgent move five days ago, so the urgent march was transferred, the speed of the communication system was fast, the body of the Taoist soldiers was strong, and the consumption of horses was one, and the ability of the new generation of young generals such as Coach Zhao Yun and Lu Xun, Lu Meng, and Wei Yan was also visible.

It is even more rare to hide his whereabouts all the way, indicating that the rule from Hanzhong to Guanlong has been as solid as an iron bucket, the water cannot be splashed, and the wind does not leak, with this piece as a solid barrier to the Xiqiang Department, Luoyang's safety is enough to guarantee.

"Murong Zheng's main force did not attack the county towns, and the troops pointed directly at the Yellow River, I am afraid that they have the idea of attacking the workshop area in the south. Xi Zhicai thought and said.

Ye Qing bowed: "He still has the vision and knows that this is an important thing that goes hand in hand with the system, so he wants to force me out and fight a decisive battle with me...... Only by killing me can he have a chance to turn the book, otherwise he will fight for national strength with us, and no matter how hard he fights, he will die. ”

"There's really no suspense...... Sleep, and when you get to the place, you will wake up. ”

Hearing this, all the ministers looked at each other, and their faces were full of black lines, but they still agreed with these words: "Indeed, if there is no accident, this is a national power crushing ......"

The empire's iron and steel output was 40,000 catties, 100 times that of the grassland, of which 40 million catties of crude steel was 300 times that of the grassland.

The most intuitive thing to say is that 10,000 catties of steel can make 150,000 special arrows for rhubarb crossbows, and the actual steel output is only one-fortieth of what is used here, and the annual output of steel arrows is 4 million, which is the highest cost part of the crossbow arrows.

When Luoyang first took over ten years ago, there were 13.5 million crossbow arrows hidden in the big arsenal, and they were successively replenished to 3,000.

By five years ago, hundreds of thousands of mobilized soldiers on the battlefield in Jizhou were all racing in the rhubarb crossbow formation, and even if they worked hard to repair the used arrows and recycle them repeatedly, they finally consumed 26 million...... If a mortal army wants to intervene in the war of the monks, it will have to spend such a huge price of manpower and material resources.

By this year, due to the increase in the efficiency of the fire spirit steam engine, the steel output in the upper reaches of the military industry has continued to increase, and the output of arrows and crossbows in the middle and lower reaches has also risen.

The Great Arsenal was replenished to 48 million, and the reserves were twice as much as during the Battle of Jizhou, and the Hu Cavalry in this battle was not as strong as the real people in the outer regions of the Battle of Jizhou.

This has to be shot out, Murong Zheng is known as an army of 400,000, and one person can insert twelve arrows as a hedgehog, or it can be said that only one person can shoot twelve arrows.

Of course, war is not a paper decision, it depends on the actual strategy, tactics, and implementation, but in this regard, the Han army, which had just experienced the Battle of Jizhou, was more confident -- the real-life group assault that was faster and more dangerous than the cavalry had been faced, and the execution of the high-level strategy and tactics to the low-level non-commissioned officers had already been tested.

The Han-made rhubarb crossbow array was launched, and the smallest rhubarb stone crossbow also had a range of more than 400 meters.

As long as the bows and crossbows and arrows are endless, all soldiers believe that they can stand undefeated.

The same for the example of the grassland cavalry, in the Western Han Dynasty, Li Ling's 5,000 foot soldiers dared to venture out of the northern desert, retreated first because of the defeat of the friendly army, was bitten by 30,000 cavalry in the encounter, shot more than 1,000 people in a crossbow array, and the arrows rained down and forced it, and fought all the way and retreated, only in the pursuit of more than ten days, and lost 6,000 under the crossbow array, furious, seeing that the Han army was about to rush back to the Han realm, summoned the 80,000 cavalry of the Left Xian King and the Right Xian King to launch a general attack, and the Han army shot 500,000 in one day...... The damage is incalculable, and the arrows are exhausted and all are destroyed.

Thousands of people shoot 500,000 arrows a day, and it is this kind of ammunition consumption, and the military industrial base supported by a strong manufacturing industry is where the Han people always crush the foreign race.

It is a pity that it is limited to an agricultural society, and this limit state can only be achieved under the matching of manpower and material resources in the heyday of the empire - the Qin and Han military meritorious feudal system is essentially inherited from the strict national war system of the Warring States, which is the pinnacle of the military industry.

However, by the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the land annexation of the Han people was fierce, and the huge profits of the land annexation were in front of them, and the profits of the workshops and commerce were not worth mentioning, the good money drove out the bad money, and the overall manufacturing industry of the ethnic group was gradually degrading--it was "the birds are exhausted, the good bows are hidden, the cunning rabbits are dead, and the lackeys are cooked", which is invincible in the world, and the loss of a considerable number of enemies, the national war system will lose its dependence, which is the glory of the Han people, but also the misfortune of the Han people.

And the initial rise of industry, the profit increase caused by the fire spirit steam engine made all the wealthy landlords dumbfounded, a hoe in the land, how can it not be compared to the fire spirit workshop in the output, wait and see after five years, finally can't help it, many people who know a little bit of knowledge and local tyrants have gathered funds to invest in the fire spirit workshop, and the industrial frenzy caused by it is breaking through the manufacturing limit of the Han Dynasty.

When the torrent is triggered, the world has changed.

Murong Zheng, the big single Yu of the Xianbei clan, claimed to control 400,000 strings, which sounded majestic, but no one believed that Murong Zheng alone would be the opponent of the Han Empire in its heyday.

Unless......

Jia Xu and a few other advisers set their eyes on the western sky, the golden red sunlight was very bright, and there was a bit of haze in the eyes of several people...... Murong Zheng is not a fool, if he dares to come to the Central Plains, he must have something to rely on.

Autumn has arrived, the climate is severe, and the main rejuvenation of the Western Golden Qi is in response to the national fortune of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and it is also the peak of the power of the West......

At this time, the backstage Western sage of the Hu clan made a move, and I am afraid that the backstage Wa Emperor of his clan will suffer a loss.

However, the national fortune is tied to the direction of the road, and it has to be fought.

"The way of heaven takes all things as a dog", take it, knock a stick on a jujube, never favor anyone, even if it is related to the promotion of the world, you must first pass the level of clan promotion, and any promotion will cause backlash.

"Or this Wuhu is the catastrophe of our promotion, and it is the sea and the sky that is passed, and the failure is to sink into depression...... In any case, we are well prepared. ”

In October of the fifth year of Yingwu, the royal car traveled to Yanzhou and established a large camp on the south bank of the Yellow River.

Guo Jiacheng built a large net in series, and the iron wall was encircled, aggravating the enemy's lack of food and exhausting the enemy's combat strength.

"It's a preparation...... Making dumplings?"

Ye Qing's eyes lit up, thinking about this strategy.

"The policy of filial piety is very good, 400,000 cavalry is 400,000 mouths, plus one person and two horses, there must be five or six hundred thousand horses, the appetite of horses is even greater, it is not good to count together, the food for people to eat horses is not much easier than ours, Murong Zheng can't concentrate a few times, and most of the Hu people must be scattered to eat...... Then we will force the Hu people to concentrate, although they will not die of starvation, but they can accelerate their fatigue. ”

"Of course, this requires the establishment of a larger range of communication networks, and the linkage and cooperation of nodes everywhere can be realized, otherwise it will be to let the enemy jump out of the net, not to mention a busy schedule, and the fish caught in the end are limited. ”

"How many fish we can catch will be tested when we are ...... Well, in this way, I am sitting here, and being this mascot is still a bit of a coordination use?" Ye Qing said with a smile, mostly joking lightly.

Since you let the generals do it, there is no need to interfere too much, and it is the emperor's duty to do coordination, so as not to make the generals fight for themselves.

Just as he was thinking, a magician entered to tell him.

Dozens of candles in the big tent were as bright as day, and the emperor listened to the report while looking at the official text: "General Guan led 90,000 to aid Jizhou, and defeated 70,000 Hun cavalry in the field for the first time. ”

The emperor already smiled and said, "Okay, the opening is good, it depends on how Murong Zheng responds." ”

As he spoke, there was a sneer of disdain on his lips.

The Golden Horde

The front of the big tent was densely packed with guards, but at this time, there was a sneer in the big tent.

"These fools, opposite is the Luoyang Northern Army, the Central Army of the Han Dynasty, and they came back from a round of foreign real people, and the veterans are not dead yet, so they went to fight with them in the field?"

Murong Zheng sneered, he had expected this situation, and he was right in the middle of it: "Sue all the departments, deal with the tactics of the enemy's main force, use our maneuvers to mobilize the enemy, divide the enemy, and attack the enemy's weak points...... In peacetime, it eats the enemy, and when it is critical, it is connected by the shaman's Taoism, and gathers strength...... And move closer to our army. ”

"I want to see how you Ye Qing solve it. After saying this, Murong Zheng also snorted coldly.

Under the Golden Horde's order, the various departments changed their strategies, relying on the superiority of the cavalry, circling the main force of the feather infantry cavalry, scattering and invading in units of 10,000 people, coming and going like the wind, harassing the people, robbing grain trucks and village supplies, and trying to follow Murong Zheng across the river to the south.

On the north bank of the Yellow River, Murong Zheng led an elite main force of 100,000, including 20,000 blood wolf troops, to break through several key outlets, so that the rangers could flow and gradually gather.

The pressure of survival forced them to twist into one.

In this way, 330,000 cavalry were gathered, and the remaining 60,000 or 70,000 were too greedy or too sluggish, and they fought in various places.

Although it is a pity to scatter, but the law of the wolf pack is to eliminate the weak and remain strong, and those who do not have long eyes deserve to die, and there is no need or possibility to save them.

"The force that has been regathered now is the one that is truly effective. Murong Zheng felt that his goal had been achieved, and he could finally do something with this power.

"You look across the river, those with white smoke are the places of the Fire Spirit Workshop, this is the most important hinterland of the enemy, the source of strength, and the weakest place, now we cross the river to destroy Yiqiē!"

"Report - I found that Chen Liucheng had the banner of Emperor Yingwu, and the sorcerer's investigation was counterattacked, and he was blind and fell into a coma, but it can be determined that it is the qi of the true dragon!"

Murong Zheng's spirits perked up, apart from himself, what other true dragon is there in this world?

"Haha, God help me...... Emperor Han may have thought that the back was safe, and he would not have expected us to raid so quickly...... Pass on my orders, conceal the military spirit, collect ships, and the whole army will cross the river to the south and take Chen Liu!"

"Da Danyu, there are no boats to be collected by the river, so the Han people hide on the south bank......"

“...... Fool, blow sheepskins for me, make sheepskin rafts, build pontoons!"

"Yes!"
