Luo Longsheng laughed: "Yes, this Liu Bobo never attacked his real blood enemy, the Northern Wei Dynasty, but kept attacking his benefactor, the Later Qin Dynasty. I understand what you said, although the latter Qin Dynasty also
The political power established by the Qiang people has been in Guanzhong for a long time. It has few cavalry and many infantry, and its mobility is insufficient. Liu Bobo's guerrilla style of cavalry that comes and goes like the wind cannot defeat an army like Tianke."
The black robe nodded: "Yes, when Yao Chang was still there, the Qiang army's combat effectiveness was not very strong. Not only was it not as good as Murong's Xiyan, but even the strength of the former Qin was much stronger than them. If it weren't for Fu
Jian was crippled by Xi Yan, so Yao Chang couldn't defeat Fu Jian. They just took advantage of it, and they were not really strong enough to defeat the former Qin."
"In addition, Yao Chang himself was very powerful and cunning, and his tactics of war were often unpredictable. Later, when he fought with Fu Deng, he could not defeat Fu Deng head-on, so he set up camp and held a stalemate, holding the wall and clearing the country. In turn, he used a small amount of cavalry to attack Fu Deng's logistics, food and fodder.
Gradually making it unsustainable can be described as a crime other than war."
Luo Longsheng said sternly: "But this style of fighting is not easy to use against Liu Bobo. The Hu Xia Army is a pure cavalry force with almost no infantry. It is highly mobile and can come and go like the wind. It also has a large number of ranger scouts who can intercept and kill.
Later Qin's reconnaissance knights. Hou Qin was defeated by Hu Xia several times, but they knew nothing about the opponent's situation. I believe that it was not that Yao Xing did not send reconnaissance knights, but that all these reconnaissance knights were eliminated, so he could only
Become deaf and blind, completely passive."
The black robe laughed: "Yes, in this northern grassland battle and cavalry conflict, the most important thing is reconnaissance and intelligence. Once without this, you will become deaf and blind, completely passive and beaten. The problem of the Later Qin Dynasty is that if the cavalry
An independent army, no matter in terms of numbers or combat effectiveness, cannot defeat the Hu Xia cavalry. Yao Xing once personally led 30,000 cavalry to attack, but Liu Bobo led 50,000 cavalry to directly surround him, and almost even Yao Xing himself was killed.
If it hadn't been for my subordinates to fight to the death and the soldiers and civilians from the cities in the north of the Ling Dynasty to try their best to save me, I'm afraid that the Hou Qin Dynasty would have been destroyed by now."
Luo Longsheng curled up his lips: "Yes, this Liu Bobo does not have a city. He only acts as a tribe on the grassland. When the enemy attacks, the entire tribe will move and will not let the enemy know where it is. In peacetime, when there is a war, all troops are summoned.
Horses, in peacetime and during periods of animal husbandry, dispersed troops are sent back to various ministries to engage in production. This style of play is very troublesome for the Later Qin Dynasty, which is dominated by infantry in the Central Plains."
The black robe said solemnly: "But the Northern Wei Dynasty is different. The Northern Wei Dynasty itself is also a country fought on horseback. They can pull out more than 200,000 pure cavalry troops. Their usual Monan tribes and Hu Xia on the Hetao grassland
The tribes were engaged in trade and knew their general pastures, water sources, and strongholds. If the Northern Wei Dynasty was willing to attack Hetao with all its strength, it would be like Tuoba Si's attack on Liu Weichen. He would be able to hit every one accurately. Liu Bobo would not be able to do what he did against the Later Qin Dynasty.
With the advantage of intelligence, if he unexpectedly concentrated his troops to encircle and defeat the Northern Wei army, he would be defeated before he could gather his troops."
"It's just that Liu Bobo never dared to provoke the Northern Wei Dynasty. In addition, the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Later Qin Dynasty had a war to compete for the Central Plains. Therefore, during the Tuoba Si period, the Northern Wei Dynasty was happy to keep Liu Bobo as a chess piece to involve the Later Qin Dynasty. Later, Liu Bobo
The power of the vigorous Hu Xia increased so fast that even the main force of the Later Qin could not match it, which also attracted the attention of the Northern Wei Dynasty. However, at this time, the Northern Wei Dynasty had its own civil strife. Tuoba Si died in the hands of his son, as did Hebei and other parts of the grassland.
The turmoil needs to be quelled everywhere, especially as Rouran, a big enemy, has become a climate in Mobei. After all, one often attacks Monan and directly threatens the grassland, while the other almost never takes the initiative to attack and provoke the Northern Wei Dynasty.
If we choose the lesser of the two evils, then Rouran will replace Hu Xia and become the number one enemy of the Northern Wei Dynasty."
Luo Longsheng nodded: "Yes, and Rouran has a large number of horses, cattle and sheep. Once they win, the rewards will be very generous. Hu Xia is good at guerrilla warfare. If he reconnoiters the Northern Wei Dynasty and plans to attack, he will prepare in advance.
Move the tribes, cattle and sheep to the Liangzhou area to avoid the attack of the Northern Wei Dynasty. If the Northern Wei Dynasty sends out a large army to directly attack Liangzhou and pursues it, there is the possibility of direct conflict with the Liangzhou countries and even the Later Qin Dynasty. The gain outweighs the loss. Even if Hu Xia
If he loses again, he may continue to escape towards the Western Region. After all, what Liu Bobo is best at is not fighting, but how to escape."
The black robe sighed: "So after Tuoba Si came to the throne, the Northern Wei Dynasty placed its primary attack target on Rouran. Tuoba Si also used some deceptions. He seemed to be exhausted, and went around to rescue the main target.
It was used to fight against the rebellion of the Han tyrants in Hebei and Bingzhou, and even pretended to be powerless against the rebellion and self-reliance of some Monan servant tribes. Several small tribes in the Yinshan area defected to Mobei.
Rouran was not attacked, and these things made Shelun relax his vigilance, thinking that Tuoba Si was an incompetent person, far different from his father Tuoba Si."
Luo Longsheng shook his head: "Tuoba Si himself was able to quickly control the situation after Tuoba Si's assassination, pacify the country, reuse old ministers, and manage all the Tuoba clans with heavy troops into obedience. The Northern Wei Dynasty also
It did not fall into division and civil war, which in itself proves that its ability is by no means as weak as the outside world imagined. Veteran generals such as Ba Ba Song, Ba Ba Fei, Ba Ba Daosheng, Yu Lidan, Er Zhu Xiurong, and An Tong are all willing to serve for it.
, after all, Shelun still lacks intelligence and eye contact, and does not have enough grasp of the situation in Monan and the Central Plains, so it is reasonable for him to suffer a big loss, but this time he does not have the same good luck as before."
The black robe laughed: "These next things are familiar to you. Taking advantage of Shelun's opportunity to divide his troops to attack various tribes in Mobei, Tuoba Si secretly assembled more than 100,000 Northern Wei cavalry, just like Tuoba Si
Just like in the Battle of Shenhebei, we divided our forces to attack, and finally gathered at Ruoluoshui (today's Tula River) to attack the Khan Court of Shelun!"
"Shelun was completely unprepared for such an attack. He hurriedly gathered his troops to fight back, but was defeated. He himself was seriously injured and died in the process of escaping. The hegemony Rouran had just established in Mobei was so damaged.
It was a heavy blow. If it weren’t for the lack of military supplies in the Northern Wei Dynasty and the need to return to the army due to the long distance to attack, I am afraid that the entire Rouran Khanate would have ceased to exist. Rouran could be considered as escaping again." ()
