Macross Empire

"Swoosh - whoosh -"

"what!!!"……

On the grassland more than 200 kilometers away from the border of Bingzhou, a Huns tribe of [-] people who were busy grazing and harvesting grass was directly attacked by [-] Han cavalry.

The result is that without exception, even if the [-]-man tribe of the Huns can mobilize [-] cavalry, the quality and quantity are definitely not the opponents of the Han Dynasty.What's more, it is still the time of surprise attack, facing the surging [-] Han cavalry leading the assault, almost destroying the security force of the Xiongnu tribe in a single encounter, and then it is one-sided pursuit and capture of prisoners.

In less than an hour, when the follow-up Han army appeared on the grassland, the entire Hun tribe had been completely wiped out, and less than half of the Huns survived, and less than five hundred of them were young and strong. Except for the hundreds of people who escaped by chance, the rest of the people turned into corpses on the grassland of this grassland, but all the cattle, sheep and horses in this tribe were captured by the Han army.

"Good job! Guan Hai, this is a feat!"

When Xu Huang, who was the chief general of the vanguard army, saw Guan Hai who was waiting with his team, he couldn't help but praise Guan Hai.

As I said before, Xu Huang, who originally belonged to the Luoyang Army and was later recruited by Li Yuan's Youzhou Army, still didn't like the remnants of the Yellow Turban like Guan Hai, and he was a military general who was born in the imperial examination.

However, looking at the performance of Guan Hai's three thousand cavalry, Xu Huang is still very satisfied. He feels that even though Guan Hai was born in the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, when facing the old enemy of the Han family, the Xiongnu, he did not weaken the Han family's previous prestige. Definitely a good general!

"Hey, the general is overwhelmed! I don't care about it before, but now I'm fighting for my brothers!"

Listening to Xu Huang's words, Guan Hai, who also belongs to the level of internal qi separation and is slightly stronger than Xu Huang, did not have the slightest complacency. He lowered the blood-stained spear and said with a simple and honest smile.

For other rangers and criminals who were born in martial arts, because Guan Hai was born in the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, he was looked at differently.But now that he has joined the Northern Expeditionary Army to conquer the Huns, Guan Hai, who knows that he has a bad background and has to consider for the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army that Qingzhou has already begun to reorganize, of course, will not turn his tail as soon as he has some meritorious service!

"A merit is a merit, and a demerit is a demerit. Lieutenant Guan Hai, you have made military achievements, and you have your own military regulations to record them!"

Xu Huang was taken aback by Guan Hai's words, but he immediately expressed his evaluation of Guan Hai, and then Xu Huang directly turned his head and said to a scribe behind him: "The play master Bo, the captain Guan Hai The beheading, casualties, and seizure records of a battle must be filed without any mistakes!"

"Zhicai takes the lead!"

Hearing the order from Xu Huang, the general of the vanguard army, Xi Zhicai, who also joined the army, bowed his head respectfully.

After Xi Zhicai bowed to the order, Xu Huang and Guan Hai also discussed a few more words, and then directly led his subordinates to...

[The army is going out of the fortress, and the female general of Esdes is actually the commander, and it is still in the current situation that it is not in a hurry to enter the grassland... Well, if the general of the car is not stupid, he must have other considerations !It's a pity that I don't know the whole situation and plan yet, so let's do the job of the leader of the vanguard first! 】

After instructing more than a dozen of his subordinates to start counting the gains and related merits, Xi Zhicai, who was in charge of the [-] stone master Bo in the army, stared at the pretty natural scenery on the grassland, and silently calculated in his own mind.

For Xi Zhicai, joining the Northern Expedition Sequence is a happy thing, but after seeing that the actual leader of the army is Esdes, a beautiful woman with long blue hair, Xi Zhicai can't help feeling There was a murmur, why is a woman commanding the army?But now seeing the speed of the army on the grassland at most dozens of miles a day, Xi Zhicai thought that if Li Yuan's brain is fine, he must have other considerations, so he began to be serious about himself according to the emotions in his heart. As the commander of the army, the responsibility is over.

Similarly, there are quite a few people in the Beibei Army who don't understand, but there are Li Yuan's orders, and as the main body, the Youzhou Army and generals all obey the orders of Esthers, and Gongsun Zan, the Governor of Bingzhou, has no objection Obey the order, so that the relevant rumors in the army are only limited to rumors, and there is no such desperate guy talking around!

However, just a few days later, when the troops led by Zhao Yun, the governor of Liangzhou of the same generation, began to join forces, everyone understood why this strange way of fighting...

……

Ten days later, at a place [-] kilometers away from the hinterland of the Northern Huns, Zhao Yun's left army joined Esdes.

On the grassland, tens of thousands of cavalry and infantry were busy in the built camp, and Zhao Yun even led his troops into the camp, and took his subordinates to the army tent to meet Esdes up.

"Yun met the general! He met the mistress!"

When Zhao Yun did not hesitate to kneel and salute to Esdeth in the big tent, among the military generals behind him, some of the military generals who followed Zhao Yun and half-kneeled to salute showed a trace of struggle. Couldn't help but change, looked at Esdesh and knelt down without hesitation and saluted.

However, apart from Zhao Yun pointing out the identity of Esdes, what made the generals of the Liangzhou Army terrified was that Esdes's eyes fluttered slightly in the big tent, and they felt like they were frozen Feeling, this is the obedient obedience!

"Ha! General Zhao is still so serious..."

Seeing Zhao Yun's respectful and polite performance, Estes nodded in satisfaction, and then said to Zhao Yun and his party: "General, please get up, sit down and discuss the current situation!"

"promise!"

Hearing what Estes said, Zhao Yun got up without hesitation, then sat down on an empty stool beside him, and even greeted Gongsun Zan, Boris and other colleagues he knew.

Well, as a member of the Youzhou Army, Zhao Yun knows a lot more about Gongsun Zan, Boris and others, and Gongsun Zan, Boris and others also warmly greeted Zhao Yun, and by the way, they were a little uncomfortable with them. The newly recruited generals of the Liangzhou Army who had things like chairs greeted them.

"Everyone, let's start the strategic planning of the North Army's war now!"

Seeing Zhao Yun and his party sit down, Estes nodded slightly, and then said to the maid waiting beside him.

As soon as Esdeth's words fell, several maids in staff uniforms directly controlled the buttons around the big tent, and a 3D three-dimensional miniature sand table appeared in front of everyone in the big tent.

Zhao Yun, Gongsun Zan and others who have seen the three-dimensional sand table are of course not surprised. Except for a few people in the other generals who made a little surprised sound, no one screamed or shouted "demonic law" or anything-in fact, In the world of "Dynasty Warriors", it is not that no one uses Taoism and other techniques for investigation operations. Although the 3D three-dimensional miniature sand table is extremely exquisite, it has not surprised everyone to the point of being unable to extricate themselves!

"Our army headquarters currently has a total of 16 cavalry, 32 infantry, and [-] Eight Banners that have not yet joined, making a total of [-] troops!"

"The main army that has now converged is here, and the cavalry group affiliated to the Eight Banners Army is blocking the flank of the Huns. According to the summary an hour ago, the Huns have annihilated 37 tribes, and more than 10 people have been captured. Killed, the number of cattle, sheep, and horses seized exceeded one million..."

"According to the deployment of our army, we are going to adopt a step-by-step strategy and start oppressing the shrinking Huns, so that they have to start a decisive battle with our army!"...

Seeing all the generals in the big tent looking at themselves and the others, several combat staff officers pointed to the situation on the sand table to explain, and told the situation and general plan of the battle to conquer the north.

"General, I would like to ask, why didn't the cavalry use the cavalry's rapid assault tactics in this battle to conquer the North, but maintained this slow marching speed? Besides, the Huns are not fools, and they will flee thousands of miles when the situation is not good. Will you fight us?"

Hearing the deployment of the battle, Zhao Yun raised his hand, and after Esthers nodded, he asked questions.

Fighting against the nomadic grassland peoples who live by water and grass, the most troublesome thing is that the other side flees thousands of miles away when the situation is not good, but the farming peoples such as the Han Dynasty are different, even in the middle-level world of "Dynasty Warriors" In this world, the Han Dynasty also used the cavalry as the main force for the Xiongnu wars on the grasslands. Before the Huns were assembled, they directly destroyed their lairs and main forces instead of playing with the Huns on the vast grasslands. Peek-a-boo game!

Zhao Yun didn't understand. According to the combat experience of the Youzhou Army and even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the past, it should be directly interspersed with cavalry quickly, and the nomadic people like the Xiongnu were severely injured by fighting. Why did they give the opponent plenty of time to react?

"That's a very good question. Inspector Gongsun will explain why to General Zhao and everyone!"

Regarding Zhao Yun's question, seeing that many middle-level generals in the big tent who had no right to speak also expressed approval, Esthers nodded but did not answer, but said to Gongsun Zan sitting on his right.

"No... In fact, it is impossible for the Huns to retreat!"

Hearing Esdeth's words, Gongsun Zan, who was sitting on the side, got up and turned to look at everyone in the big tent, with an inexplicable look on his face.Then he walked in front of the 3D virtual sand table, asked the combat staff to click a spot, pointed to the enlarged arrows extending from the flanks of the Huns on the grassland, and said: "If we say that the Huns are nomads, their fundamental The land is not in the lair but in the pastures on the prairie to control, the army to fight and the livestock to own!

If our army wants to stay permanently on the grassland, the cost of maintaining an army of hundreds of thousands would not even be able to last for a long time during Emperor Wu's time, so that the Huns who fled far away left their lives.But... If it is not our garrison, but other nomads who then control the territory of the Huns, can the Huns escape with confidence? "
