Chapter 19 Tribal Arming
"Wait, wait!" Tuobaxiu was really confused. She pointed to the troops marching in neat steps, and then pointed to the Jin soldiers who were mobs. With an inconceivable tone, she concluded He stammered and asked, "Are you really sure you want the tribe to fight to the death with armed forces?"

It's no wonder that Tuobaxiu was shocked and incomprehensible. In the disputes among the various clans in the world, the only thing that can be relied on is his own clan's armed forces.If a nation wants to have the right to survive, tribal armed forces are the key.Once the tribal armed loss is too heavy, national weakness becomes inevitable, and the tribe or tribe is basically not far from being destroyed or annexed.

Take a look at Zhao Guo of the Jie people!They lost two battles in Qianliang and Eastern Jin. The soldiers of our clan died only 50 to [-], and it was Zahu and Jin soldiers who suffered heavy losses.However, for the Jie family whose total population will never exceed [-], the loss of [-] to [-] young and strong is equivalent to a lot. Some people began to predict that the Jie family would weaken, and they had the idea of ​​​​doing something else.

In fact, for Hou Zhao, it doesn't matter how much the Zahu and Jin people who summoned the army lost more, but the people of the tribe really couldn't die easily, and the death of [-] to [-] people has already reached the point where the "national foundation" has been shaken!

Does Tuobaxiu know what kind of clan Liu Yan is?Perhaps it should be said that she could not think of which tribe or tribe Liu Yan belonged to.Where she saw, there were tens of thousands of Jin people living there, but she didn't see many people other than Jin people.The situation really didn't resemble many of the tribes she knew.

According to common sense, Tuobaxiu imagined that Liu Yan should be a tribal leader with a population of at least [-] people. Only with such a population base can he dare...or in other words, have the strength to recruit tens of thousands of Jin people.

A tribe of about [-] people has [-] armed forces at its peak, and an absolute part of the elderly and children, and even strong women should also be armed.However, Tuobaxiu was surprised to find that Liu Yan didn't seem to be in the same situation. Although the number of tribal armed forces drawn out was small, it was really a super luxurious army, and it was well-trained everywhere.

Tuobaxiu was very, very confused: "In this troubled world, who would follow the strategy of training elite soldiers?"

Liu Yan has no obligation to explain so much to others.He was also unable to give any explanation. Could it be that those soldiers were produced by some kind of system and were able to line up and march in unison without any training, and were "born" with an aura of fearlessness and fearlessness?
After rejecting the horse, Xu Zhenglai returned to Liu Yan.He was ordered to retreat with the troops, and was stunned for a moment: "Your Majesty, shall we retreat?"

Liu Yan doesn't have too much free time to talk nonsense now, he orders the system unit in his mind, and nods with a serious face.

"This..." Xu Zheng slightly lowered his head, seemingly rejoicing, but also a little ashamed, agreed "No!", and left.Yes, he had the experience of seeking war many times, and he really wanted to repay Liu Yan for taking in and using him, but he really couldn't cope with today's big scene.

"You should think about it again." Tuobaxiu didn't know why she wanted to persuade him, and after a short meeting, she ignored Liu Yan, full of depression: "If you want to die, don't take me with you, please let me go with those Jin people retreat."

Liu Yan, who was silent for a while, finally said: "Dead?" He kicked the horse's belly as he spoke, and the horse stomped slowly. He then said: "Okay, let's retreat too."

"...?" Tuobaxiu watched Liu Yan control the horse and leave in a daze. She turned her head to look at the silent troops in formation, and shouted: "Could it be that Saibei can't keep up with the new army?" Is the situation going? The tribes in the Central Plains have ruined the elite tribes like this!"

... If following the routine of later generations, if similar behaviors are pretending to be coercive, if Liu Yan is not defeated, such "coercion" can continue to be pretended. (It’s just that the population limit of 500 is too bad.)
From the beginning, Liu Yan never thought about staying on the front line to command. He could watch from a distance and then use the system in his mind to command.

Of course, those who don't understand will never understand, as if Tuobaxiu thinks Liu Yan is a terrible tribal leader.

Then, when Xu Zheng saw that Liu Yan was also retreating, his uneasy heart was calmed down.

The spies from various families and tribes, some of them avoided observing, while a few simply showed up to find a good place to watch.

"The bald department went to seek refuge with Er Rong?"

"Not only the Tumi Department, but also the Figure Three Department."

"It's no wonder there are many more people. But...going to seek refuge now, don't you want to be assigned as a striker? Even if Errong will win, facing the four hundred elites of the Han Dynasty, playing a striker will suffer heavy casualties!"

"Perhaps it is a good deal to sacrifice some people in exchange for not being expropriated for rations."

"Wait, why is there a team in the Han Dynasty that is retreating? It hasn't started fighting yet. You are scared by seeing so many people in Errong!?"

Indeed, Liu Yan only has 700 people, and it seems that the number is really very small.Furthermore, except for the necessary reconnaissance cavalry, all of them are infantry; the troops coming from the direction of Buqicheng, by visual estimation, will not be less than 3000 people, and the number of cavalry is also [-], which is definitely a large number of people.

Er Rong is a dignified county guard. Faced with the provocation of a newly rising tribe, whether for the sake of face or because he really disdains it, there is no reason for him to lead an army to fight in person. Instead, he sends his younger brother Er Mingcheng.

Speaking of which, the fact that the Jie clan became the overlord of the Central Plains brought about a change, that is, no matter what kind of cat or dog, they all have their own names (surnames).

These days, his appearance is much older than his actual age. Ermingcheng is just a man in his thirties, and even if he says he is in his 50s, some people will believe him.The clothes on his body were not fancy, a gray linen coat with calf trousers, a pair of Nadi cowhide boots on his feet, and a piece of armor that seemed to be not seriously damaged, but the guy in his hand was A mace.

"Master, the enemy army is divided into two groups. About [-] stay in place, and about [-] retreat." The spy who reported the military situation hesitated a little, and added: "The enemy army who stayed in place is uniformly uniformed. It belongs to the tribal armed forces; those who are retreating, look like they are slaves."

Ermingcheng didn't speak, he thought to himself: "Leave the tribal armed forces and let the mob retreat. What do you mean? You plan to rely on the elite and start the fight?"

Ji Chang, a Jin scholar who accompanied the army, said: "Master, the enemy leader may have no choice but to use the elite as a forward." He looked dark-skinned, and he didn't look like a scholar at all, but he seemed to be trusted by Erming City?Encouraged by Erming City, he said: "The number of enemy troops is four times smaller than ours, and they seem to have no cavalry. If you want the battle to proceed, you can only go all out from the beginning."

Er Mingcheng kept nodding his head, which strengthened his guess, thinking that Liu Yan just wanted to be the first to win.

The two teams were getting closer and closer. When the distance between the two sides was 800 meters, Erming City ordered the troops to stop.

Ermingcheng led Ji Chang and dozens of riders forward, and stopped again when he was about 300 meters away from the Han army formation.

Ermingcheng was observing the terrain of the battlefield. He looked around and found that the enemy's general had the quality of commanding troops, at least the battlefield he chose was favorable to the opponent.

The terrain of the battlefield is not very complicated, but there are too many water depressions, resulting in too dense aquatic plants.

"The place they occupy is not bad, and the position where the cavalry can freely and horizontally is also set up to reject horses..." Er Mingcheng began to frown: "It seems that it is not that simple!"

Ji Chang stepped forward, but he was facing system soldiers. After shouting for a long time, he tried almost all the languages ​​he understood and various accents, but all he got was silence.

"Your Majesty, the other party has set up their formation according to the terrain, and the villain has taken a close look..." When Ji Chang went back to report, his face was worried: "There are nearly two hundred armored men in the other party's army. The weapons are also excellent, and I hope the military leader will be careful!"

Soldier?Return two hundred!Ermingcheng's cheeks twitched, and he asked: "Those families and tribes came to report, didn't they say that the Han tribe is a Huns tribe that has just risen for less than a year?"

Ji Chang was not calm, he hesitated: "It may be those forces in Saibei...? But two hundred armored soldiers, it is two hundred armored soldiers! If it is not a big force who can get two hundred armored soldiers, I am afraid that Saibei... "

"The forces of Saibei and Daiguo are preparing for a big war. How can they have any spare time to arrange dark chess in Qingzhou." Look, this is the difference in vision brought about by the different status. Ermingcheng took a deep breath, "Let's not ask where they came from, let's fight together." Let's talk later!", and ordered to the left and right: "The Tumi Department and the Tusan Department will test forward, and they are allowed to retreat after two drums."

Although Ji Chang was worried, he still took it for granted that among the barbarians in the Central Plains fighting for hegemony, the stronger ones fight, not chatter.

The trumpet drum time of each dynasty is not fixed. Shi Zhao’s trumpet drum is about 15 minutes, so it is allowed to retreat for about half an hour.

The Tumi tribe and the Tusan tribe are miscellaneous Hus, originally small tribes on the grasslands. After going south to the Central Plains with the various tribes, they captured a large number of Jin people as slaves, and they developed in decades.

There were not many people from the two tribes, about 800 people in total broke away from the brigade after shouting, and they moved forward slowly.The rear did not urge them to move forward slowly. After all, the distance between the two sides was [-] meters. They ran with all their strength at the beginning, and they were still panting when they got close?It should be correct to wait until the bow and arrow are within range before running wildly.

On the Han side, the troops in formation stood quietly from the beginning without making any sound.

"The people of the Jie people sent out the miscellaneous beards, presumably to test the weak positions." Tuobaxiu asked Liu Yan: "If you want to be the first to win, annihilating the first enemy army is the best chance."

Does Liu Yan want to be the first to win?He didn't have that kind of plan at all, and it is true that it is an army that can be used, it is such an army, there is no choice!
