One thing that everyone overlooked was the overall quality of the Northwest Army.

Everyone has a preconceived notion that cavalry is not suitable for fighting in the hills, because light cavalry is useless once it loses speed.

But they didn't think that the war horses ridden by the Northwest Army were all horses from the northwest grasslands, and these war horses were generally half a head taller than the war horses in the Central Plains.

Taller than other war horses, it is naturally longer than the Central Plains war horse in terms of legs, and the longer the legs, the faster the rushing speed, and the shorter the sprint distance required for the Central Plains war horse.

In addition, the places where the Northwest Army fought all year round were semi-plateaus such as deserts and grasslands, as well as plateau areas.

As we all know, activities on the plateau, even ordinary running, are much more difficult than those in the plains, so both the physical strength of the soldiers and the physical endurance of the war horses are better than those of the plains soldiers, and the explosive power is also stronger.

It is not difficult to find from the comparison of these characteristics of the Northwest Army with the ordinary cavalry that the Northwest Army does not need such a long sprint distance as ordinary light cavalry to exert its power, and when the two armies are fighting, the physical endurance of the Northwest Army is better, even if it has an advantage in strength, it is not something that the Shu soldiers can resist.

And the most important point is that the objects of the previous fight with the Northwest Army were all nomads on the grassland, and these people were very similar to the Northwest Army.

And the Northwest Army, which came out of the high-intensity war with the nomads, encountered the Shu army, which was obviously inferior to itself in strength, speed, endurance, physical strength, and even will, so how could it be invincible?

These are what Fan Chengzhen said to Fan Chengzhen when he came to his house.

After hearing these words, Fan Chengzhen was also a little disdainful, and asked Dong Chengwen directly: "My Dashu army exceeds 500,000, can it be that this army of less than 100,000 people can be defeated?"

"Not really. ”

Dong Chengwen turned to say: "But it will drag Qianshu into a never-ending quagmire, don't you forget, how did the nomads do to Ye, endless looting, can make my Dashu go downhill, not to mention that the chaos in Yeguo is only temporary, once one day the army and the people are united, King Ye gives an order, it will not be an army in Qianshu, and even the Hou Song, which has always been good friends with Ye, will take the opportunity to join it, and then I will have room for maneuver in Qianshu?"

If Fan Chengzhen only opposed the war between the two countries because Qianshu did not stand on the moral high ground, then after he heard this, it was because of this army that he didn't want Qianshu to fight against Ye.

Facing Wu Yang's questioning, Dong Chengwen bowed down and said: "If the king has to fight to the death with the Northwest Army and Ye Guo, then I still have a plan." ”

As soon as he heard that there was still a turning point, Wu Yang immediately asked, "Prime Minister just say it." ”

Dong Chengwen raised his head and said expressionlessly: "As far as I know, the Northwest Army does not rely on logistics and supply, so it is completely unfeasible to target this army in the same way as an ordinary army, so there is only one way to target this army, withdraw the residents of the northwest, relocate them to the south, let them have nothing to rob, and at the same time form a northwest defense line." ”

Hearing this, Wu Yang frowned and asked, "But since then, doesn't it mean that my country has given up the northwest territory?"

The same can be said. ”

Dong Chengwen glanced at Zhao Wutao and said, "If the king thinks that this plan will not work, then it is better to let the general think of a way to get the best of both worlds." ”

General?

sent troops several times in a row, but they all returned in vain, how could Wuyang still trust Zhao Wutao now?

Wu Yang's face was embarrassed, and his voice became unconfident: "Is it difficult, do you really want to seek peace?"

This time the incident was provoked by Qianshu, and now if you go to seek peace, you will really slap yourself in the face.

At this time, Fan Chengzhen couldn't help but bow down and salute: "King, now is not the time to consider losing face, now the people of the northwest are in dire straits, if the king does not make a decision, I am afraid that it will cause a chain reaction among the people, and it will be too late to say anything at that time......

Fan Chengzhen worked hard to clarify the pros and cons, and Dong Chengwen almost said the direction of the development of things.

What else can Wu Yang say about this?

In the end, Wu Yang could only sigh and said, "Since this is the case, then do what the two Aiqing said." ”

"The king is wise. ”

This time, Zhao Wutao couldn't say anything, and his military generals were all drooping their heads, like defeated roosters.

On the second day, a group of former Shu talks and envoys headed by Fan Chengzhen set off from Gyeongju, the former capital of Shu, and went straight to Pingfu County in the northwest.

When Chu Yujia saw Fan Chengzhen, the Flying Snow Battalion of the Northwest Army had already penetrated directly into the Eagle County in the western part of Qianshu, and even the Tianying had entered Hebei County under the leadership of Chu Haojie.

As for Pingfu County, it has now completely become the territory of the Northwest Army, and Chu Yujia's Chinese military tent stands here.

What he saw and heard along the way, Fan Chengzhen already had a certain understanding of the youngest marquis in Ye Kingdom, and it seemed inappropriate to describe it with the words brutal and ferocious.

Everywhere you look, you can hear the cries of people whose loved ones have been killed, and the corpses of people that can be seen just by a random sweep.

According to post-war statistics, there were more than 900,000 soldiers and civilians in Pingfu County, and after the Northwest Army withdrew from Pingfu County, there were less than 300,000 people left, and I don't know how many of the 600,000 people managed to escape, and I don't know how many died tragically under the butcher's knife of the Northwest Army.

Seeing such a scene, the soldiers who came with them were all indignant, looking at that look, as if it were not for the king who had already made peace talks, they would have to fight the Northwest Army.

It's just that this kind of emotion quietly disappeared after entering the Northwest Army barracks and seeing the Northwest Army light cavalry transporting the spoils of war from all over the place.

Sometimes, the ferocity and horror of the Northwest Army are more like a rumor to many people, and the ethereal is far away from them.

Only when you really encounter this army can you know how terrible this army really is, and only then do you know what kind of existence you have encountered.

Because the Northwest Army has always rewarded meritorious deeds by beheading the enemy, the heads of the former Shu soldiers who were beheaded from all over the country were transported here, and the main book of the army was used to record the merits of these soldiers, and thousands of piles of heads filled the entire camp.

Look at those Northwest sergeants again, carrying bloody heads, as if they were carrying very ordinary objects, some talking and laughing in the back waiting in line.

Seeing such a scene, many people couldn't help but tremble, is this still human?

Playing with human heads like toys is still something that people can do?

They are simply a bunch of devils......
