Sweep the World

The chasing battle of fleeing, chasing and chasing did not happen in a very short period of time. It was the two sides who chased and fled for seven consecutive days, and the distance covered was definitely more than a thousand miles.

Li Hong led the army in action, but Xie Ai himself was not idle.

With so many guards in hand, Xie Ai originally wanted to set a trap, and later realized that fighting on the grassland is different from fighting in other areas.

The grassland is vast and most of the terrain is a flat river. Only a few special places can be used for ambushes. If you want to fight a siege, you need at least ten times more troops than the enemy, but if you have ten times the force, you can just push it straight.

The battles in the grasslands have always been face-to-face contact warfare, and ambushes are not uncommon but very rare. There is still a very disgusting place to fight on the grassland. One side feels invincible. As long as they are willing to pay a sufficient price to survive by docking their tails, they will basically be able to escape a part of the force. This is also the reason why the time period spent on grassland battles is generally very long. Whether it is a battle between nomads, or a battle between farming peoples and nomads, there is no battle at all to determine the final victory or defeat.

After Xie Ai awakened to the rules of engagement in the grassland, he sent an army to the southwest, trying to clean up the Hulu in the southwest, leaving himself a way out.

The imperial guards smashed 17 tribes along the route they had traveled earlier, just around the Rouran Mountain.

It took Xie Ai five days to clean up the tribes around Rouran Mountain. Only six of the seventeen tribes were wiped out, and the remaining eleven tribes escaped. He led a lone army deep into the grassland. For the sake of safety, he did not leave any prisoners. All men, women and children, all dig and kill.

The number of Humen killed is calculated because of the calculation of military merit. The number of slaughters can be counted but was deliberately ignored. The number of Humen killed by the Guards in seven days is definitely more than 30,000.

The tribes around Rouran Mountain were cleaned up, but Xie Ai did not send troops to the rest of the area. He cleaned up the Rouran Mountain to open up a good enough environment for fighting. The main combat target was still the gathered Huren army.

When Li Hong led his troops to retreat within thirty miles of Xie Ai's location, the main force of the Han army was already on standby, and an army camp was built twenty miles east of Rouran Mountain.

The construction of the army camp was not completely stable during the construction period. Husbands who fled earlier came to harass, and the Humen tribes in the distance were late to arrive, which is equivalent to constructing a camp while responding to it.

Husbands came to attack the camp, indicating that the existence of this Han army is no longer a secret. Xie Ai actually didn't intend to keep the secret. He used actual actions to declare that the Han army's war sword was already hungry and thirsty.

Coupled with the 55,000 imperial guards, Xie Ai’s army is in the early 60,000s, but the Huren around them is no less than 300,000, and the number of Huren will continue to gather over time. There is no need to worry that the increase in the number of the Han army will scare the Hu people from fighting. On the contrary, the increase in the number of the Han army to 60,000 will make the Hu chief even more eager to eliminate it.

Naturally, Xie Ai wanted to set aside a back road. He found that the imperial guards could indeed supplement, and made some arrangements on Rouran Mountain to set aside some necessary guards, which were built by systematic farmers. It was only seven days. The time is small and scaled.

With confidence in his heart, Xie Ai did not hesitate to lead the army to personally take over Li Hong’s troops, and he took all the cavalry at hand. The black and heavy cavalry occupies a wide area. After pulling it apart, it stretches for nearly twenty miles. Kind of overwhelming visual stimulation.

The black line on the horizon made the Hu people unable to ignore. After the kings negotiated urgently, they gave up continuing to hunt down the remnants of Li Hong. Numerous Hu people cavalry gathered according to their camp.

"General!" Li Hong stayed on his horse for seven consecutive days, looking very haggard and embarrassed. He rode to the vicinity of Xie Ai, made a motion of turning over and dismounting, but fell straight down. After a while, he was relieved, but he couldn't stand up anyway: "Fortunately, it's a shame!"

The chasing and fleeing took place for seven days, and the spirits are always in a state of high tension. People eat, drink, pull, spread, and sleep on horseback. In the end, only the soldiers of the Han army who can safely complete the rendezvous with the main force of the headquarters are left. Less than two thousand.

The generals are all like this, and the situation of the soldiers can be imagined. Xie Ai can see that many cavalry soldiers are headed down after stopping their horses. He knows that it is a phenomenon of exhaustion after the heart relaxes, so he ordered The attacking troops detoured to the army camp to rest.

Of course Li Hong was extremely tired, but he asked to stay where he was, and some generals also begged to stay. They had paid at least four thousand Paoze's life and death to complete the task, and the ensuing battle really didn't want to leave the field.

"Four thousand robes...the number of the dead in the war is unknown. It is known that most of them are scattered." Li Hong had just drank a large bag of water, his face only dimmed, and he quickly adjusted: "Finally, I took a look. , One of those Hu chieftains is here."

In fact, the Han army scattered on the grassland is basically not far from death. After all, the grassland is still the grassland of the Huren, and the chances of being besieged are infinite when they are scattered, and it is absolutely rare that they will be able to come over and join the army in the end. This is the price of fighting in the grasslands.

There were less than two thousand returnees in the six thousand battles. It is absolutely false to say that Xie Ai, who is the master, does not feel heavy in his heart. He couldn't express his bad mood, and he should say more encouraging words.

The Han army stopped advancing here, and the Hu people's army had stalled early and gathered together. The two sides looked at each other at a distance of more than five miles.

Looking down from a high-altitude bird's eye view, the armies of the two camps are all black and heavy, but the number of Hu people must be far more than the Han army. Both sides occupy one side, leaving a turquoise buffer zone in the middle.

From the Han army's perspective, it was a square formation from one to the other, neat and tidy, with flags fluttering in the wind.

The army of Rouran, Tuoba Xianbei, Murong Xianbei, Zhang's Liangjun, Donggaoche, and Fu's Di people are divided into several groups. Which strength should belong to the group, only Zhang's Liangjun and Murong Xianbei You can still see that the battle is set up over there, and the rest is just messing up.

The neighing of horses frequently appeared in the two armies that stopped. The Han army heard only the neighing of horses. There was a "buzzing" noise under the conversation between the soldiers of the multinational coalition army.

The rulers of multiple forces are conducting urgent consultations. The topic cannot be separated from the discussion of the number of Han troops. During this period, disputes also occurred, mainly because the Rouran Khan Bati asked why so many Han troops can quietly penetrate into the grassland.

The Han Kingdom and the Rouran tribal alliance are far apart, but Zhang’s Liang Kingdom, Tuoba Dai Kingdom, and Murong Yan Kingdom are all connected to the Han army. There is a good reason for Ba Ti to ask the kings for not discovering the movement of the Han army.

"Ben Khan has not formally confessed to you as an alliance!" Bati was full of discomfort: "You must give an explanation!"

The kings knew in their hearts that the Han army had directly appeared in Rouran territory. Bati's attitude was to gain the initiative, and he must still deliberately want to seek some benefits from the various forces.

"Okay, okay." Murong Jun looked rather impatient: "A certain person will write to his father, and some goods will be brought in."

That is, Murong Yan, the prince of the country of Murong Yan, showed impatience with such confidence. Murong Yan may be weaker than Han, but it is definitely stronger than other countries or forces. It is not that Murong Yanjun has not fought Rouran before. Without exception, Murong Yanjun always fights Rouran and rubs them on the ground.

If the country is strong, you dare to speak loudly, especially when you fight, you can teach each other how to behave in minutes. Forbearance and moderation do to people of equal status or better than yourself, that is, it will be very tiring to live like this for everyone, especially for those who rub their noses and cheeks. Murong Jun felt that he had the qualifications to live comfortably, especially for some unsophisticated people.

Bati was really somewhat upset at Murong Yanguo. Seeing Murong Jun compromised so insincerely that he didn't care, he immediately looked at the others.

At that moment, I don't know how many people would think in their hearts [How many are the bosses of a tribe, and shameless], they despised their faces but had to smile, and they promised benefits one after another.

Even though he didn’t get the thing, he didn’t know if he could get it. The promised postscript was finally no longer tangled. He looked at Fu Hong, who had been blackmailing twice just now, and said brutally: "Your strength here is the weakest, it should be You go to battle first."

Fu Hong felt very indifferent to being blackmailed, saying how many things he was going to send was a matter of verbalizing. Wouldn't the Rouran people still chase and ask for it if they didn't send it back?

Hearing that he wanted his side to fight with the Han army first, Fu Hong had a different attitude. Di Ren had fought with the Han army more than once, and he knew that the ability of the Han army to fight is really not a false name, the opposite Han army. Looking at the guards, he intentionally refused but saw that everyone who could talk was staring at him.

"Okay..." Fu Hong was abnormally aggrieved, turned his head and ordered: "Jianye, you lead five thousand people to come forward and invite you to fight."

Fu Jian, Fu Hong's eldest son, held his fist on horseback and responded, "No!"

It is "Nuo". Judging from the characters and the fulfillment of orders, Di people are actually one of the foreign races who have absorbed a lot of Han culture and are worthy of being one of the deepest sinicizations after the continued Qiang.

"Five thousand!?" Bati yelled uncomfortably, "You brought tens of thousands, so send five thousand? At least ten thousand must be dispatched!"

"That..." Zhang Chonghua still attaches great importance to Fu Hong's ally at this stage, and said, "Leader Fu Hong has only 10,000 troops here, half of it... it's okay."

"Ten thousand, ten thousand is ten thousand." Bati didn't care about that much, and said to Zhang Chonghua in a shameless manner: "Not enough? Then you can collect it for him!"

Zhang Chonghua showed a dumbfounded expression. They are all kings, okay, can you save each other's face? For a while, he felt like he had eaten a fly and felt extremely sick.

"This king can assist three thousand people." Tuoba Shi Yijian is eager to make friends with the Zhang Clan Liangguo, and also wants to win over the Di Clan of the Fu Clan.

Zhang Chonghua first glanced at Tuoba Shi Yijian unexpectedly. He probably guessed the reason, smiled friendly, and said, "The king helped two thousand people."

He was satisfied with this post. He felt that his authority was respected, regardless of how Fu Hong came from the 10,000 people who fought in the battle.

Murong Jun looked at Zhang Chonghua, Tuoba Shi Yijian, and Fu Hong interestingly, who were starting to frown. After thinking about it, he said, "The lone is willing to produce a hundred people."

In terms of the forces of Murong Yanguo, it doesn’t matter how many people come out. What’s important is the attitude shown by Murong Jun, which immediately made Fu Hong look at it with gratitude. Zhang Chonghua and Tuoba Shi Yijian also had many smiles on their faces. It's a bit.

Bati looked at everyone in confusion, Yi Rouran's head only noticed the weirdness, but couldn't think any more.

"It's really fighting in Rouran's territory. How can Bati choose whether to start a war." Zhang Chonghua waited for Bati to leave before speaking: "Widow...how do you feel that Rouran is here...", he Pointing his head: "Something is abnormal?"

Murong Jun laughed immediately, and said with a smile, "Rou Ran, how do you say it? The uncivilized barbarians have no knowledge, and those who can do it don't want to use their brains."

"This is good, this is good." Zhang Chonghua hadn't had any contact with Rouran before: "We need such an ally."

Tuoba Shiyijian was smiling, his mind was how to pull the Rouran tribe alliance into his chariot, this kind of ally with no brain but enough muscles is excellent.

Ten thousand and one hundred cavalry soldiers came out of the battle, and the Han army quickly reacted.

Xie Ai felt comfortable that the enemy had close to 130,000 horses, but he didn’t have much pressure on the whole army. He had already done the full pressure on the enemy, and the 30,000 imprisoned guards he brought to fight with the enemy. When preparing for the annihilation of the entire army, what I didn't expect was that the enemy army turned out to be such a choice.

[The Janissaries can replenish it again and again, it doesn't matter how much they defeat, as long as they can get the results. Xie Ai touched his chin: [First send out two thousand to try the opponent's combat power, and you can also seduce the enemy to fight for extra fuel. 】

Xie Ai is countless times more free and easy than Liu Yan~www.wuxiamtl.com~ can be regarded as an improper and not distressed resource. Moreover, Xie Ai doesn't know that the Guards use resources to produce, because he thinks Liu Yan can cost nothing.

The two thousand imperial guards consisted of one thousand and five hundred cavalry and five hundred archers. After they came out of the battle, ten thousand enemy troops came straight in. Both sides opened their way with arrows when they were close enough.

The Hu Ren's bow is basically a horn bow. The range of the horn bow is at most 40 or 50 steps.

The Archers of the Imperial Guards are equipped with bows. The range of their bows can exceed one hundred steps, and the range of their strongest lethality is within forty steps.

There were other movements in the roar of the horseshoes. It was the screaming or groaning of the arrow hit. As long as the horse fell, there was absolutely no possibility of survival. Changing the line will collide with friendly forces, and the cost will be higher.

After the two arrows fired each other, the Janissary Cavalry still sullenly moved forward, while the archer circumambulated to the left.

On the side of the multi-party coalition forces, the Di Ren was responsible for the headless charge, Zhang's Liang army rounded to the right, Tuoba Dai army chased to the left, and the 100 Murong Yan army slowly followed at the end...
