Han Dao world

"Ah, ah." Ma Chao didn't know what to say.

"I heard that you lost the battle?" Liu Xie said with a smile, arms crossed.

"Yes, I lost the battle and lost dozens of armors." Ma Chao smiled smugly. "The ones who died were all the Qiang people who were captured before. They were disobedient and wanted to kill them a long time ago. This time it is considered waste."

"Do you think the Xianbei people will come?"

"The possibility is not small. I heard from Jiang Jiong and others that the Xianbei people are very greedy, and they especially want our armor and weapons, even a piece of armor. The scout battalion was ambushed several times, and all the sacrificed soldiers were picked up. I just threw it in the wilderness. I just listened to him, so I threw a dozen pairs of armor as bait."

Liu Xie was silent for a moment, and then said: "Is there any news from the Kebineng Department recently?"

"No. The Xianbei slaves are very cunning. They must be hiding somewhere to watch the fun. They will help whoever wins."

"I didn't expect him at all." Liu Xie said unhurriedly: "This is the case now, and it will be the same in the future. If he wants to see it, let him take a good look and let him see who is the master of the grassland. Take a good rest , be prepared for a long-distance pursuit."

"Wei." Ma Chao agreed, and then said, "How far should we chase, to Junji Mountain?"

"As long as you can guarantee the casualty rate like a wolf rider, you can chase as far as you can."

"Really?" Ma Chao exclaimed.

"You are not joking." The corner of Liu Xie's mouth twitched slightly. "This battle is either not fought, or if it is fought, the Xianbei people will not dare to approach the frontier fortress for ten years, and they will flee as soon as they hear the name of my Han people."

"That's right." Ma Chao clenched his fists excitedly and waved them vigorously.

Han Sui talked with Jia Xu for half an hour. After returning to the camp, he called Cheng Gongying and others to discuss in detail the plan for the battle.

The generals admired Han Sui's plan to build a wall with sand.

Han Sui brought 2 soldiers. Although they claimed to be all cavalry, less than [-] of them could be regarded as elite cavalry.

For them, relying on the cover of the ice wall to engage in positional warfare with the Xianbei is undoubtedly more secure than a cavalry duel.

What they have practiced in the past six months is positional offense and defense.

Jia Xu said, the emperor's forbidden army is not just a ceremonial guard, but a real elite. Your task is not as difficult as you imagined. You can fight more calmly and boldly, and reserve enough strength for pursuit.

Han Sui was right in his arms, but he couldn't directly put such a plan in front of the emperor, so he made two plans.One is to block with all their strength, to keep the Xianbei people out of the position as much as possible, to ensure that no arrow will be shot in front of the emperor.One is to control the situation so that some Xianbei people can pass through his position and reach the emperor without making the emperor feel too much pressure.

How to choose is up to the emperor himself.

Early the next morning, Han Sui came to Liu Xie with two plans.His eyes were bloodshot, but his spirit was very excited.

As Han Sui wished, Liu Xie chose the second plan.Not only that, but he also said to Han Sui, in terms of the current military strength, as long as the number of Xianbei people you let in each time is less than [-], I can handle it, and there is basically no danger.

Therefore, what you have to consider may not be keeping the Xianbei people out of the formation, but how to cut off their retreat after they are brought in so that they cannot escape.

Han Sui was speechless.

But he didn't doubt what the emperor said at all.He has already learned about the strength of the Emperor's Forbidden Army from different channels, and he knows that these people have never relaxed their training, and their strength is far higher than the [-] paces he leads.

If Liu Xie is not the emperor, and the prince has just been born, the life and death of the big man rests on his shoulders alone, maybe Liu Xie doesn't need to send troops and generals at all, and can use the forbidden army to maim the Xianbei people.

This battle is not for him to rescue him, but to give him a chance to make meritorious service, so that he, the Great General of Zhenxi, can live up to his name and have enough qualifications to lead troops eastward in the future.

With the support of the emperor, Han Sui was more confident.

After negotiating with Han Sui, Liu Xie convened a discussion with the generals to arrange a plan to fight the Xianbei people.

The entire position has a total of [-] steps and is divided into two parts: inside and outside:

Waizhong is composed of Han Sui, the general of Zhenxi, Ma Chao, the captain of Huqiang, and Zhang Yang, the general of Duliao. Han Sui is in the middle, digs trenches, sets up triple sand walls, and uses infantry as the main force to fight.Ma Chao was on the left and Zhang Yang was on the right, covering the two wings with cavalry.

Han Sui was the commander in chief.

The inner weight is composed of the forbidden army, the emperor's imperial camp is in the middle, and the Huben camp is guarded by Huben Zhonglang Song Guo.Yubayashi Zhonglang Zhang Xiutong Yulin is on the left, Yueqi School Captain Wang Futong Northern Army cavalry is on the right.

The real killer weapon—Jiaqi is commanded by Guo Wu, Zhao Yun, and Yan Xing in case of emergency.

Wei Wei Ma Teng led the Wei Wei Battalion with five thousand cavalry, and set up a camp on the south side of Xiu Tuze, ready to respond.

Hundreds of sledges are prepared on the frozen Xiu Tuze, ready to come and go at any time.In order to prevent the Xianbei people from breaking into the rear from the ice surface, all the ice surfaces on the east and west sides were cut, and people were arranged to guard them.

After the position was arranged, Liu Xie emphasized again that the purpose of this battle was to severely injure or even annihilate the invading Xianbei people, so all ministries must strictly implement the predetermined plan, and must not be greedy for meritorious deeds and scare away the Xianbei people.If it affects the overall battle plan, not only will it be useless, but it will be a crime.

Liu Xie raised his right hand and slowly clenched it.

"A single finger is easy to break, five fingers form a fist, and only when everyone is united can they exert the greatest strength. Gentlemen, work hard!"

"Wei!" The generals suddenly agreed.

Chapter 515

More than ten miles east of Xiutu, on a low sand dune, Ke Bi Neng sat on the ground wrapped in a half-worn sheepskin cloak.

On the gravel in front of him, the formation sketch of the Han army was drawn with simple lines.

Ke Zui stood aside, with his hands in his sleeves and his body curled up into a ball.The weather was so cold that the dripping water turned into ice, and the wind was like a sharp knife, scraping gashes on the face one after another, making it extremely difficult to even speak.

In order to avoid the plunder of the wild wolf tribe, their whole family moved south.After seeking permission from the emperor of the Han family, they were able to take refuge nearby.I thought that the emperor of the Han family would ask them to help out, but the battle was imminent, the Han people's positions had been set up, and they did not receive the imperial edict from the emperor of the Han family.

Judging from the information obtained by the scouts, there is no place for them in the Han army's position.

This made Ko the most disturbing.In his view, if the Han people do not regard them as allies, it means that they are enemies.

Ke Bi Neng was much calmer. He stared at the formation grassland for a while without saying a word.

Ke couldn't bear it anymore. "Marshal, what do Han people mean? Will they be against us?"

"Probably not." Ke Bi Neng patted the sand off his hands and straightened his waist. "Judging from this formation, the Han people are obviously preparing to defend with all their strength. We are not good at defense and can't help us. They may understand if they don't want us to go."

Ke breathed a sigh of relief. "Then Yan Chi will they come?"

"It will come." Ke Bi Neng laughed. "The wild wolf was beaten into a defeated dog by the wolf cavalry, and his face was disgraced. How could he not come to revenge. Even if he didn't fight, he still had to come to Xiu Tuze to test it out. Cixue, if they don't enter the Han territory to plunder, how will they survive?"

Ke Zui smacked his lips, his chapped lips hurt, but he couldn't care less.There was a snow disaster on the grassland, and not only the wild wolf tribe was sad, but they were also the same.In order to survive, they slaughtered all the cattle and sheep, and gave the Han people what they couldn't eat for a while, hoping that the emperor of the Han family would allocate some food for relief.If the Han people were defeated by the wolf tribe, all their previous efforts would be in vain.

Maybe we should cooperate with the wolf tribe and rob the Han people of food.

Ke Zui looked at Ke Bineng secretly, thinking about whether to mention another sentence.He had talked about this idea with Ke Bi Neng before, but Ke Bi Neng rejected it.Ke Bi Neng felt that the Han people were very strong, and it wasn't something that the Wild Wolf Tribe could defeat, nor could they.Now the Han people have no intention of attacking at all, but build an ice wall and defend with all their strength. I don't know if Ke Bineng will change his attitude.

It is true that defense is the advantage of the Han people, but defense alone cannot defeat the wolf tribe.

"Master..."

As soon as Ke started, Ke Bineng shook his head. "Don't worry, let's talk about it later."

-

Xiu Tuze was a hundred miles north, and Yan Chi reined in his mount, looking at the faintly visible blood on the ground.

This is where the striker beat Ma Chao.The strength of the two sides was equal, and they fought several times, each winning or losing.In the end, the vanguard lured one of Ma Chao's into the desert, successfully ambushed, beheaded more than ten people, and obtained more than a dozen sets of armor.

Now half of these armors are worn by Yanchi's personal guards, and the other half are given to Luozhi Liluoluo and Rilu Deduction respectively, so that they always remember that not all Han people are wolf riders, and they are not as powerful as they thought.

The Kuangsha tribe and the Red Sun tribe are just behind, and there are some less powerful tribes.

Yan Chi knew what these people were planning, but there was no way out.The Wild Wolf Tribe lost too much. If they couldn't defeat the Han army head-on and get enough compensation, even if he escaped now, he would suffer heavy losses next spring, and the result of being annexed could not be avoided.

He paused here, made the last hesitation, and encouraged himself.

Going forward, you may encounter the Han army at any time, and a fierce battle is inevitable.

Since noon, scouts have been rushing back, and there are reports of the movement of the Han army.Contrary to Yan Chi's expectations, the Han army did not take the initiative to fight, but formed an array in Xiu Tuze, and it was Han Sui from Liangzhou who was facing the front.

Han Sui built an ice wall in front of the battle to guard against death.

The scouts cannot go deep into the position and cannot see the situation in the formation.But they said that apart from some Han army scouts, there were no Han troops outside the positions.The Han army seems to have withdrawn all its forces to Xiu Tuze, waiting for the Xianbei to attack.

But Yan Chi felt the cowardice of the Han people.

Shrink troops, build walls and defend.Even in the desert, the Han people still habitually defend instead of actively attacking.

This further proves that wolf riding is only an isolated case, and it is an attempt by the little Han emperor.If retaliation is not carried out and the little Han emperor tastes the sweetness, there will be more and more such things in the future.

After a little consideration, Yan Chi ordered the whole army to advance to Xiu Tuze.

-

Two days later, Yan Chi rushed to Xiu Tuze and saw with his own eyes the ice wall that the scouts were talking about.

The ice wall is not high, it only reaches the chest of the person.The generals and soldiers of the Han army hid behind the ice wall, watching the Xianbei cavalry who pushed forward.After crossing the overlapping ice walls and battle flags, one can see a high platform in the center of the position.On the high platform stands the battle flag of the emperor of the Han family, and there are several figures under the battle flag.

Being too far away, Yan Chi couldn't see the expression on the face of the little emperor of the Han family.But he felt that the little emperor of the Han family must be very disturbed at this moment, so he could only hide in the center of the position, not daring to come out to fight.

Yan Chi walked around the Han army's position, carefully observed the Han army's battle flags, and analyzed the situation in the Han army's formation.

On the west side of the position, he saw Ma Chao's battle flag.

He ordered a personal guard warrior in captured armor to come forward and challenge.

Soon, Ma Chao responded.The sound of war drums sounded, and a knight in armor and a spear in his hand rode out.

The two sides announced their names, but it was not Ma Chao himself who came, but Ma Chao's personal guard, Pang De.

Just before the formation, the two started fighting.

After several vicious fights, the strength of Yan Chi's personal guards weakened a little, but Pang De seized the opportunity and took the spear off the horse.Just as Pound was about to dismount and strip his opponent's armor, Yan Chi ordered an assault, and a group of cavalry, led by the centurion, galloped out to attack Pound.

Pang De pulled his horse away, and the Xianbei cavalry pursued him closely.

Seeing this, Ma Chao sent a hundred cavalry to fight.Pang De also turned his horse's head and launched a countercharge against the Xianbei people.

Seeing that the Han army was guarding tightly, the Xianbei people did not love to fight, but left at the first touch, and rode their horses back to Yan Chi's side.

Pang De and others also reined in their mounts and retreated slowly without taking advantage of the victory to pursue.

Yan Chi looked at Ma Chao from a distance, smiled disdainfully, turned the horse's head, and walked away.

Although he didn't take advantage of it, he tried out Ma Chao's reality.Although Ma Chao was brave, he didn't dare to leave the position easily. For the Xianbei people, this is undoubtedly good news.When he attacked Han Sui's position in the front, he didn't have to worry about the impact of the cavalry on both wings.

After Yan Chi returned to the camp, he immediately sent someone to inform Luozhi Yanluoluo and the deduction of the law of the law.I will attack Han Sui's position tomorrow, you can watch, or you can attack the Han cavalry on both wings separately, whatever you want.

Chapter 516 Lead by Example

Liu Xie sat on the general platform and saw this scene from a distance.

He was expressionless.

Not calm, but the face was frozen.

He has always felt that the Central Plains Dynasty was able to rub the grassland people on the ground during the Han and Tang Dynasties, but they were ravaged by the grassland people after the Song Dynasty. The most fundamental reason was that the ruling stage was corrupt and lost the spirit of martial arts.Civilization has become weak, and Han and Tang scholars with both civil and military skills have become Song and Ming scholars who can only recite poems and Fu, and the battle with real swords and guns has also become a mouthpiece in the court.

To change this trend, the ruler must lead by example, especially him, a traveler who is determined to reverse the trajectory of history.

Martial arts is easier said than done.Practicing Sanjiu in winter and practicing Sanfu in summer are not just talking about it, behind it is countless sweat and even blood and tears.

For example, it is a difficult task to stand on a high platform and command operations when the wind is blowing.Even though he was wrapped in thick winter clothes, the cold wind still pierced in like needles, making him chill all over his body, and the iron armor on his body could freeze off a layer of skin.

How hard is it for those soldiers who hold weapons and are always ready to fight the Xianbei people?

"The general's horn and bow cannot be controlled, and the guard's iron clothes are hard to wear" is not only a heroic poem, but a true portrayal.

Even so, he gritted his teeth and held on, unwilling to leave the general platform.

Take a step back, and the previous efforts may be in vain.As long as he stands here, without him saying a word, it will be more effective than countless rhetoric, and those who want to be shaken will find no reason to retreat.

Seeing the Xianbei retreat, Liu Xietai nodded slightly and waved his hand. "Bless Qiang Xiaowei with a pot of wine."

"Wei." Xun Yun who was on the side walked to the general platform and shouted an edict.

He was also about to freeze, his mouth was a little out of control, and his voice was a little distorted. He said it twice before the Lang Guan below could hear him clearly.Xia Houchong picked up a jug of wine and rushed to the left wing position.

"The Son of Heaven bestows wine—" Xia Houchong shouted loudly, his frozen body gradually warmed up as he ran, and his originally stiff movements gradually became more flexible.When he rushed into Ma Chao's position, he was already sweating all over, and he just wanted to take off his heavy winter clothes and run wantonly.

Ma Chao was depressed when he saw Xia Houchong running towards him, shouting "The Son of Heaven bestows wine", he was overjoyed, got off his horse quickly, and quickly adjusted his armor.

"The Son of Heaven has an edict to bestow a pot of wine on Qiang Xiaowei." Xia Houchong said out of breath.

"Wei Chenchao, the guard of Qiang, thank Your Majesty for the wine." Ma Chao took the wine pot and bowed deeply in the direction of Jiangtai.

Xia Houchong turned and left, Ma Chao turned around, held up the flagon high, and the grievance just now turned into clouds of smoke.He took a sip of the wine, and then passed the jug to Pound. "Pass it on! One mouthful each."

"Here." Pound took the jug, took a sip, and handed it to the soldier who had just joined him in the battle.

A jug of wine is definitely not enough for everyone to drink. Most people can only touch the spout and wet their lips.But to them, this honor is far more valuable than a jug of wine.

At this moment, the humiliation of being "defeated" by the Xianbei people turned into the pride of obeying orders.

Those who obey the order will be rewarded.
