Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 802 between ideal and reality

  Actually, Fiji potential such an urgent march is not a very good choice for the battle situation.

  Although the Xianbei army was successfully blocked in a relatively narrow passage like Zhenlin and Yulin, the best way is to slowly coerce and then delay, dragging down the entire Xianbei army.

Although the customs of the Hu people doomed their marching needs to be less than that of the Han army, the dry food eaten by the war horses and the salt eaten by the people are indispensable anyway, so from a tactical point of view, Xianbei can’t run away anyway, and it will take an extra day , Xianbei is weaker...

However, Fei Qian couldn't delay. Apart from the gradual consumption of military food and supplies on his own side, another reason was that the spring plowing was coming soon, and the transfer of food, grass, materials and military equipment was unnecessary. A lot of labor?

  And the laborers are busy transporting grain and grass, so how can they plow in time?

   "On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head..."

   Fei Qian raised his head to look at the sky, and said something silently.

  According to Chinese customs, from this day on, it officially entered the spring plowing time. Every year at this time, the emperor needs to go to the field in person, at least once to support the plow, to show that he attaches great importance to farming. It is said that this is a rule handed down from King Wen of Zhou and King Wu of Zhou.

  But this year's Chang'an, I don't know what to do. Maybe we should do something about this custom, right?

Feiqian has traveled all the way, and has a deeper understanding of Bingzhou. He was born in an era of prosperity and peace. No matter how many military books he has read and how well-prepared his mind is, but now such a cold weapon war In this era, there will still be a strong impact on one's original concepts.

  War, the damage to people's livelihood is extremely strong and terrible.

   Along the way, apart from the deserted villages, there was no sign of human habitation.

The imperial court did not care about Bingzhou, and the barbarians plundered Bingzhou. The most unlucky ones were not the soldiers of Bingzhou, but the people of Bingzhou. Fei Qian can also imagine it, and it is probably not too different from here.

  The rice paddies between the cultivated fields still have the same appearance, but the owners of those cultivated fields have disappeared.

Feiqian and Yufulo, the basic pure cavalry unit, are not bad, and they brought some cattle and sheep behind them, and Bingzhou horses are more hardworking, even if they gnaw some green grass on the roadside, they can deal with it , but it is necessary to add dry goods at night to restore their strength, and Xiliang horses must eat some beans to maintain their body fat. Most of the beans and hay on the thirty or so trucks behind are for these war horses prepare.

  If it is an infantry army, it will be even more troublesome, not from the problem of twenty or thirty baggage vehicles.

   When the army sets out, in addition to the original auxiliary army having to transfer food and grass back and forth, sometimes the front line is tight, and even the surrounding people are mobilized to act as civilian husbands to transport various supplies. The fields were left uncultivated, the rations were looted, and all the mulberry and fruit trees were cut down to make vehicles and tools. After a battle, the people ran away, the plowed fields were deserted, and the trees were gone. corpses all over the place, bones all over the place.

   This is why Fei Qian must win the Yinshan Mountain, and why he has to press every step of the way and actively seek the battle.

  In addition to seasons, during the cold weapon war, the importance of strategic location is much stronger than that of later war models.

After acquiring Yinshan Mountain and guarding the white road at the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain, the Hu people in the northern part of the desert would not be able to go south to attack the Shangjun area; controlling the Yulin node, coupled with the early warning and buffering of the Xiongnu in the south of Meiji, the Xianbei people in the Yanmen Daijun area would not be able to attack. It's so easy to rush in and plunder the hinterland of Pingyang; maintain the relationship between Baishi Qiang and win over the nomadic Qiang people in the west of Shangjun, and the Qiang people far away in Xiliang usually don't travel thousands of miles away without going to Sanfu. If you come to Shangjun, the entire surrounding area of ​​Shangjun can be completely stabilized, and the farming in it can be restored and developed smoothly.

  Because the Yinshan Xianbei tribe is the biggest and most direct threat to Feiqian, it must be eliminated as soon as possible. Otherwise, after the incident in the south breaks out, the Yinshan Xianbei will rush out to take advantage of the fire, and it will definitely make it difficult for him to take care of both ends.

  The coalition forces of Feiqian and Yu Fuluo hardly stopped in Zhenlin, and quickly changed direction, heading straight for the Xianbei army in Yinshan Mountain!

  The army advanced slowly, and the killing spirit filled the world.

   "Report!" A scout came on horseback, "I found Xianbei cavalry ahead, about 4,000 of them, attacking our army!"

   Fei Qian stood up slightly on the back of the horse, and could faintly see some traces of smoke and dust in the distance of his sight.

   "It came so fast!"

   Right now, this location happens to be relatively open, and it is relatively flat. If it is a battle, it is really more suitable for a battle between cavalry...

   Fei Qian was thinking while ordering the troops to spread out.

  The Yinshan Xianbei Army wants to fight us head-on?

   Or trying to flee north?

  The rest of the Yinshan Xianbei Army also has more than 10,000 troops. Why are there only 4,000 cavalry now? Where are the rest?

  Where will it be?

  Will it be a feint attack on your own side, and then the main attack will attack Yulin?

   Or the complete opposite?

   If he attacked Yulin, or dared to bypass Yulin and flee, Fei Qian would be happy to see it succeed.

  Let’s not talk about the Yulin Camp, strong bows and crossbows, high walls and deep trenches, as long as the Yinshan Xianbei army dares to attack, it will definitely make them happy...

   And bypassing Yulin, where can we go?

  The hilltop of the river in Huanyin is also guarded by soldiers. As long as the Yinshan Xianbei army dares to enter the valley, they will directly set fire to the mountain!

Instead of taking the Yulin route or the Yuanyin route, if you go to the outer desert area, it is tantamount to putting your own army to death. In a semi-arid area like Bingzhou, if you dare to march far away from the water source, you will not be able to survive for a day or two. It's easy to say, there is no water supply for three to five days, hehe...

  Even if people can kill horses and drink horse blood to maintain their lives, what about physical exertion?

  In addition, if there were no horses, the bow-legged barbarian and Fei Qian's regular Han army infantry would not be on the same level at all.

  So if Yinshan Xianbei wants to detour through the desert, let them detour, as long as the beacon fire is arranged along the water source line, it may be smoother to wait for work.

  Fei Qian weighed it left and right, and ordered Ma Yue to take some Bingzhou cavalry and recruit Hu Qi to fight.

  Although the Bingzhou cavalry suffered a lot of losses in the battle with Xianbei Youda Danghu, it was not a big problem to face 4,000 Xianbei cavalry.

   At this moment, the smoke and dust rose again in the distance, and a scout rushed over with his face covered in dust. "Report! More than 4,000 Xianbei riders were found, and they are about to encircle Captain Ma's troops from the right!"

   Life is alive, it is hard to think about it...

...

   Comparing studies, grades, jobs, girlfriends, wives, children...

   Seeing that after ten or twenty years of struggling, I can finally take a breath of peace, and various diseases have come up again...

   If there is really a god, Buddha, God, God, I am afraid that he is standing in the clouds and smiling coldly...
