Nomadic peoples are all tribal unions. This is reflected in "The Biography of Chu Qiao". When Yan Xun returned to Yanbei, the first thing he did was to find those few arrogant tribal chiefs to establish his power and get his own back.
leader position.
It can also be seen from this that the authority and control of the leader over his subordinates is far less than that in the Central Plains. This is not only the case between the leader and the tribal chief, but also between the tribal chief and his own tribe. When the subordinates lose trust in the leader,
Then they drove away the cattle and sheep with the sound of hoofbeats.
Therefore, soldiers cannot be as cohesive as the Central Plains army to engage in highly dangerous close combat. When they see the situation is not good, it is common for them to immediately turn around and run away. And for this reason, they do not feel guilty about escaping from battle.
What a shame, joining the war is just to plunder wealth for yourself, and all you can get from the leader is a glass of wine.
Therefore, when attacking Yudu Zhen's tribe, the most important thing to prevent is that they decide that the situation is not right and leave. Encirclement tactics are the best, but they are to the west of Yudu Zhen's tribe and the king's tent is to the east. If you want to surround them, you can't go up and down.
It's so easy to put your lips together.
The Yuduzhen tribe robbed the Tuxi tribe's cattle and sheep and the women of Ming'an Ulji. Although they were showing off their power, the leaders of the Yuduzhen tribe also knew the danger. After all, they were not as powerful as the Kunyu Kingdom.
Shang Xia, if Kun Yuguo comes to force, they really have to think carefully, so they have done a lot of defense.
Jiang Wu came with 5,000 people and some baggage. Ten thousand people crowded the royal tent of Tuxi tribe, but no one made any noise. The formation was neat and orderly, and no one moved, as if
There were not even ten thousand people here, so Ming'an Ulji gave a secret thumbs up.
The method of training and recruiting troops mentioned by Hyun has been implemented for several years. Although there are still some problems, it has been generally effective. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to mobilize 10,000 troops in a short time this time.
Ning Yu, Jiang Wu, Ming'an Ulji, and Azilan were discussing the deployment of troops in the big tent.
Jiang Wu looked outside:
"Why don't you ask Concubine Hyun to come?"
Ning Fang asked puzzledly:
"Why did you call her here?"
Jiang Wu looked at Ning Yu in surprise. Didn't he know how many things were in Yun's mind? But he just muttered in his heart and said nothing.
The final result of the discussion was that Jiang Wu led 2,000 cavalry from the wasteland to the east of the king's tent, while Ning Xin and the others attracted their attention from the west and slowly advanced towards the king's tent. According to the time of their return, the general attack was agreed upon
On the fifth day.
After the arrangements were made and dispersed, Jiang Wu sat in his tent and polished his sword, thinking about how to proceed along the way without alerting the enemy. After receiving the news from Xun Lai, he hurriedly let Xun in.
Hyun came in with a piece of paper:
"Master Jiang, you are a little unsure about this journey."
After many years of getting along, Jiang Wu and Hyun have become friends, and there is no quarrel between them, so Jiang Wu naturally reaches out:
"Don't be pretentious and give me the stuff quickly."
Hyun sat at the low table with a surprised look on his face:
"Hmm? What does Mr. Jiang want?"
Jiang Wu rolled his eyes at her:
"Stop pretending, come to me with a piece of paper. You must have something to tell me."
Hyun laughed and spread the paper on the table:
"This is the terrain from here to the king's tent. The drawing is not accurate. I can only tell you what is along the way."
Jiang Wu was very happy and came over to listen to Xun's talk. Xun told him from the direction of the king's tent, what it was like on the first day, what it was like on the second day, and he continued to talk until they came back.
After hearing this, Jiang Wu jumped up and cursed:
"Why did you go to the king's tent? You just took three guards with you! Why are you so brave?! What if something happens to you?!"
Hyun said guiltily:
"Isn't it safe to come back? Pre-war reconnaissance is necessary. I am already familiar with the road. It is very dangerous to let others come."
Jiang Wu became even more angry when he heard this:
"What does it mean to be familiar with the road?! Have you done this before? When I left this time, Ru Yuan asked me to tell you not to act rashly. It's better for you. You were already rash before I came! I can tell you, what's in your head
, is much more important than your life, for the sake of this head, you can’t just risk your life!”
Hyun looked at him dissatisfied:
"Master Jiang, are you worried about my life or my head?"
Jiang Wu rubbed his hands angrily. If this was his woman, she would definitely have to deal with it properly. He snorted:
"I'm worried about both of them! If my life is gone, will my head still be alive? If my head is gone, will my life still be alive?!"
Hyun held the map up to Jiang Wu with a playful smile:
"Master Jiang, don't be angry. You see, I brought back such good things recklessly and provided convenience for your march. Let's make up for it. Don't be angry. Don't be angry."
Jiang Wu glanced at her, took the map and looked at it carefully:
"I heard that when we attacked the Hao Kingdom, you also took a few guards to conduct deep reconnaissance into the enemy's territory. It can be said that you made a great contribution. At first, I thought it was the emperor's excuse for your inexplicable appearance on the battlefield. Now it seems that you are indeed
It’s done.”
Hyun quickly tried to smooth things over for herself. She didn’t want to hear Jiang Wu’s roar anymore:
"I didn't do anything big, it was just easy."
Jiang Wu paused while looking at the map. What happened to the Hao Kingdom? Without her first action, how could the attack on the Hao Kingdom be so fast and smooth? He remembered that Ning Yu asked him just now with a puzzled look.
Why did you call Hyun Lai? I still can't figure it out. How smart and knowledgeable my woman is, doesn't Ning Yu know?
However, he misunderstood. Ning Fang didn't ask Hyun to come because Hyun didn't know anything about troop formations. Asking her to come was like listening to a book from heaven, so it was better to let her stay and cool down.
After packing up his things, Jiang Wu led his troops and set off overnight. In order not to alarm others, Jiang Wu marched at night and lurked during the day, so he had to seize the time. The 2,000 men and horses left in an orderly manner. Even Arslan lamented that the Central Plains army was indeed not their grassland army.
Ning Yu hugged Hyun very proudly.
After daybreak, they also began to take action. The troops were divided into three routes and rushed towards the three more important gathering points of Yudu Zhen's tribe. In fact, of the three routes, only the south route closest to the king's tent was the main force, and the north and middle routes were all for guerrilla attacks.
, to confuse Yudu Zhen's tribe, the North Road encountered effective resistance. Because it is relatively close to Rouran, the defense here is stronger than other places, and the commander here is Wang Faxiao, who has a strong relationship. With this
If you have a high-level relationship, you won't be able to dodge others at will like other soldiers.
Although they encountered effective resistance, Beilu was not the main force, and the powerful helper who could hold back Wang was also very beneficial to Ning Feng and the others, so Beilu had been going around in circles with them, completely imitating them.
The nomadic people's style of play is exhausting them.
On the south road, Ning Feng commanded the army to advance slowly and rhythmically. It should not be pushed too fast, so that they would run away before the encirclement was formed, but it could not be pushed too slowly, otherwise, the general offensive on the fifth day would not be able to reach the scheduled date. Position, the surrounding circle cannot be formed, and it is not possible.
Although Hyun followed Ning Yan, she did not participate in the battle. Instead, she watched the battle. When there were sick and wounded, the medical team established would be responsible for taking care of them. At this time, Hyun would go to help.
It was only on the battlefield that Ning Yu realized how powerful the military system proposed by Hyun was. Each system was like a human hand, with five fingers doing what they were supposed to do. They were organized and organized. Fighting was much smoother than before, and the injuries were less severe. Suturing and bandaging are also very effective. Ning Yu is a little fascinated by the world after 1700.
On the other side, the king of the Yuduzhen tribe had actually been prepared for the consequences of the raid on the Tuxi tribe. It was said earlier that there were herdsmen harassing the border. Although he was dressed like a herdsman, Wang speculated that it might be Kun Yu. The support from the country came, but the Kunyu Kingdom had been harassing the border and seemed to have no intention of continuing the attack, so they became careless and thought that the Kunyu Kingdom was just here to show off. After all, the Yudu Zhen tribe was on par with the Kunyu Kingdom. With this idea in mind, and the fact that the defense of the South Road was not an important place for Yu Du Zhen's tribe, the king did not think much about it if there was a place that fell. He thought that the weak defense allowed Kun Yu to succeed.
It wasn't until the next day that Wang felt something was wrong.
Of the three routes, except for the north route which was blocked by the enemy and was unable to move forward, the other two routes were more or less progressing, and the south route was the closest to the king's tent. This was done for a purpose. My subordinates said that the other party's flag was flying. It is the flag of the Tuxi tribe and the flag with the word "奕", which means that King Yi, who is very good at leading troops in battles, has come. Although I don't know which road Ning Xin is on, the middle road and the south road are not far from the king's tent. , that is to say, judging from the marching route, it is heading straight to the king's tent, but the king does not think there is anything to worry about. Kun Yuguo and Yudu Zhen's tribe really fight, it is hard to say who will win and who will lose. Woolen cloth!
After making all preparations, Wang led his main force and waited at the meeting point where the three roads must pass.
After waiting for a day, I didn't see anything coming all the way, but Bao Nan Road was not far away. However, there was still an important traffic artery that needed to be reached. It was estimated that there would be no tomorrow. Wang Anxin fell asleep, thinking about what would happen tomorrow. The battle gradually fell into sleep.
I don't know how long I slept, but I was suddenly woken up. His subordinates said in a panic that King Yi's army was already several hundred meters away. The king was shocked. Ning Feng did not follow the Central Plains people's habit of setting up camp step by step, but left some troops behind. , restraining the soldiers at the traffic artery, and then the main force bypassed here and went straight to the king's tent. However, the king now led the main force and waited at the intersection, catching the king by surprise.
The king hurriedly put on his armor and went into battle. He heard the sound of horse hooves approaching quickly, but he only heard the orderly and energetic sound of the horse's hooves, and the king felt inexplicably panicked.
Shadows gradually appeared in the night. Wang squinted and looked at the shadows getting closer and closer, followed by the shaking of the ground.
The shadow stopped dozens of meters away. As usual, he shouted first, surrender, you can't defeat our army, but this is just a follow-up. If you surrender like this, it would be too shameful for you as a king.
The array on Wang's side had already been set up. Looking at Ning Yu's side, it seemed to be relatively chaotic. The panic just calmed down and he shouted confidently:
"Is this how the famous King Yi fought? It turns out that the opponents who fought against King Yi in the past were all bad guys."
On the Kunyu Kingdom side, Ming'an Ulji and Arslan had already led troops to smear the location they were going to, and they didn't even listen to what was being shouted on the other side.
The people in front were still shouting to attract the king's attention and trying to provoke the king. Ning Feng was making arrangements at the back. Although the scouts found out that there was a deployment here, they did not expect that the king would appear here, still in a marching formation.
The people of the grassland were upright and could not scold the people of the Central Plains. The king was so angry that he could not utter a single word after saying a few words. Finally, he roared and ordered the soldiers to shoot with bows and arrows.
The person next to him who was equivalent to a military advisor said:
"King, we are losing in this exchange of fire. Kun Yu's crossbows are more powerful than ours."
As soon as he finished speaking, several soldiers in the front row fell to the ground. Wang was stunned. He didn't expect that he could be so accurate in the dark, and he whipped his whip angrily:
"Then let's rush over! Use their Central Plains tactics to fight!"
The military advisor was about to stop him, but the king had already issued an order. The military advisor sighed secretly, and the soldiers were ordered to attack forward. However, only a small number of people who had a close relationship with the king were actually attacked. (To be continued)
