Tuoba Guoluo was wearing a white fox fur hat and a wolf fur coat draped sideways. Under the protection of his own bodyguards, he looked seriously at the Han army on the small slope in the distance.
Tuoba Guoluo is not known for his bravery among the Xianbei people. There are many brave Xianbei warriors who are more powerful than him. They even dare to fight tigers and wolves with bare hands on the grassland, but he is the only one who has become one of the Xianbei warriors. King Bi Xiaowang next to King Bu Dugen, this is naturally related to Tuoba Guoluo's own prudence and unremitting struggle...
Tuoba Guoluo is almost a natural commander. He can not only rush into battle with ordinary Xianbei warriors, but also command among thousands of people. He has made countless achievements in large and small battles. At the same age, He is also the best among the people.
Of course, God is not stingy in rewarding those who work hard.
Tuoba Guoluo eventually married the daughter of Xianbei King Budugen and became Bi Xiaowang...
Beside Tuoba Guoluo, Tuyuhun stood respectfully with his hands lowered.
"Okay, stop pretending," Tuoba Guoluo said with a smile, "There's no one else here. If you have any ideas, just tell me..."
Tuyuhun chuckled twice, relaxed a little, and said: "Return to Xiao Wang, what do you think...I don't have anything, it's just the tribesmen...hehe..."
Tuoba Guoluo nodded and did not interrupt Tuyuhun, letting him continue.
Tuyuhun quickly took a look at Tuoba Guoluo's expression, and after seeing that there was nothing unusual, he said: "...tribesmen, hehe, the tribesmen said that this time I only saw people going out, but not anyone coming back in. …”
The interest relationship on the grassland has always been naked. Of course, in the land of China, there is not much difference. If you want others to obey the arrangements and obey everything without violating it, what is the basis?
Even if it is RMB, there are still people who like rice yuan.
However, there are still some people who may not understand this truth until their death. They always express the low IQ of others and think that they are the most powerful. They point fingers and yell at others. In fact, I am afraid they have never thought that others are not necessarily stupid, but just pretending to be stupid. It's even like watching a fool perform...
As a person who has reached this position, Tuoba Guoluo naturally understands this. There is no exchange of interests between ordinary people. Who would stick up and grovel for no reason?
Even family ties are sometimes not worth the benefits, let alone the tribes on the grassland?
Tuoba Guo let out a sigh and said: "Tuyuhun, tell me, how much property and how many women did your tribe get during the last trip south?"
Speaking of this, Tuyuhun had a complacent look on his face, obviously very satisfied with the previous harvest, and said with a smile: "That time, we got six sets of high-quality armor, more than sixty strong livestock, and Han people's There are more than a hundred women, and some injured old ones, they are all useless, they have been chopped down, and keeping them is a waste of food and grass. There are also various kinds of copper and iron wares of the Han people, and some are not counted..."
Tuoba Guoluo smiled slightly and nodded when he heard Tuyuhun's boast. After he finished speaking, he slowly said: "Then did you know... In the Kyoto of the Han people, there are mountains of copper and iron utensils
, there are palaces and residences like gods, beauties as soft and pleasant as white clouds, fat and oily land and pastures, and countless people and livestock! In one city alone, there are a hundred thousand people!"
Tuyuhun had no idea what the concept of one hundred thousand people was, but the descriptions of Tuoba Guoluo were so dumbfounding that his mouth almost drooled...
At this stage of Xianbei, people were still stuck in the stage of knotting ropes to record events. Being able to draw a picture and count hundreds of people was already a very remarkable skill. The concept of one hundred thousand is really like an astronomical number.
His tribe was full of more than 3,000 people. How many three thousand were these 100,000? Tuyuhun licked his fingers, but found that his fingers didn't seem to be enough...
"The harvest was good last time, but this time I am still empty-handed. I can understand the difference..." Tuoba Guoluo continued, "But have you ever thought about it, even if you got a lot back last time, you can still
How long will it take? When your children grow up, how much property will be divided among them? How many times can the current livestock and equipment be divided?"
"This..." Tuyuhun had never considered this issue at all. Hearing Tuoba Guoluo said this, he immediately frowned.
The Xianbei people naturally don't know anything about pregnancy and contraception. Of course, the more people the better, even the children of hostile tribes, as long as they are no taller than a wheel, are taken in and raised as their own children.
Therefore, the higher the leader of the tribe, the more descendants there will be. When these descendants reach adulthood, according to Xianbei rules, they will have to divide some of the family property so that they can live independently.
So if Tuyuhun wants to divide the family property to his children, then divide it a little to the left and a little to the right. Naturally, there won’t be much left. Hearing Tuoba Guoluo’s words, he suddenly felt worried. After thinking for a while, he jumped up and said
: "Then I'd better go to Han to get some!"
"Hahahaha, that's good! But the Han people are not all trash..." Tuoba Guoluo pointed at the Han army on the hill in the distance and said, "...It's just that today's Han elites
, I’m afraid that’s almost all here...Only after we defeat them, we can take as much of the Han people’s property and population as we want!”
Tuyuhun immediately patted his chest and said bluntly: "Xiao Wang, what are you waiting for? Go ahead and clean up these messes sooner rather than later..."
Tuoba Guoluo laughed loudly, turned to Tuyuhun, patted his shoulder and said, "Don't you feel like you haven't taken it back now? You know, I have always valued you the most, and sometimes I can only tell you these inner thoughts.
Let’s talk about it... As long as we can capture the Han people in front of us, the entire Bingzhou, and even the Han people’s Guanzhong land further south, we can take it! When the time comes, those Han people’s property, people, and livestock, hahaha, I’m afraid you will
I can’t even lift it!”
Tuyuhun's eyes flashed with a look called greed. He licked his lips involuntarily and said: "Don't worry, Xiao Wang! I will definitely follow Xiao Wang. If Xiao Wang wants to go east, I will never go west! Xiao Wang, now
Just issue an order, take advantage of the Han people's unstable position, attack up the mountain, and chop off all the heads of these Han people!"
Tuoba Guoluo nodded, looked south, and said: "... Don't worry, these Han people are very cunning. Looking at the situation now, I don't know what they are planning... The former General Zuo of Yinshan was also in the middle.
Because of their plan, we ended up defeated. If it weren't for the iron cavalry of our Shiwei people, it wouldn't be so easy to defeat us! It's okay, you go down and get ready first, and wait for my order..."
Tuyuhun stroked his chest as a gesture of courtesy, and then strode out.
Tuoba Guoluo comforted Tuyuhun, and he also wanted to give the tribesmen who came with him an explanation and a greater hope, otherwise the next battle would lose its vigor and it would be difficult to fight.
But why did the Han people stop here?
I retreated in a hurry before, but now I am staying here. Is it because I am too tired to stop, or is there some kind of trap or other arrangement here?
However, looking at the surrounding terrain, it is not suitable as an ambush location...
Although the hilltop is a small dirt hill, it does add some difficulty to the cavalry charge, but it is not a slope that is completely impossible to charge up...
Before these problems are clarified, Tuoba Guoluo will naturally not easily issue orders for a comprehensive attack.
While Tuoba Guoluo was thinking, suddenly a noise came from the front. A sharp-eyed guard pointed at the hilltop of the Han army opposite and shouted: "Look, little king! The Han army has set up a new war flag!"
Tuoba Guo looked intently and saw the three-color battle flag on the hilltop fluttering in the wind!
"This!" Tuoba Guoluo shouted loudly, "Here comes someone! Quickly send more people from the right wing to conduct reconnaissance, and be sure to find out the layout of the Han army's formation!"
The Xianbei messenger immediately agreed loudly, and then rode away madly...
…………………………
Two Xianbei men came out of the crowd, waving their sabers and shouting loudly. The soldiers under their command responded with a roar, mounted their horses, passed by them, formed an arrow formation, divided into two teams and headed straight towards the Han army.
They rushed towards each other, with two to three hundred horsemen in each team. For a moment, the sound of hooves was like thunder, and it immediately resounded across this land!
The Xianbei cavalry roared loudly, waving their sabers and spears in the air, and formed a loose arrow charge formation that the Hu people were accustomed to. They slightly separated their front and rear positions, and rushed towards the small high ground of the Han army, urging them while
The horses, while making large and small whistling sounds from their throats, were like a pack of wolves, charging at them with their teeth and claws open!
The soil on the grass was splashed up in large groups, as if it was trampled by a ferocious beast. After detecting that there seemed to be fighting at the rear of the Han people, they launched an attack brazenly!
Zhao Yun raised his spear and shouted loudly: "Follow me! Let these Xianbei dogs see the majesty of our Han army!" A group of Han knights immediately responded loudly, drew their swords, and struck the horse Benchu in the same way.
The army collided head-on!
Xianbei are skilled in bow and arrow. The cavalry in the front row held their swords and guns high, but it did not hinder the cavalry in the rear row from firing with bows. When they approached the Han army, they heard the sharp sound of bone whistles, and many arrows were immediately thrown out.
, roaring towards the Han cavalry who came to fight!
Feather arrows flew like locusts, but since they were thrown from the rear ranks and the cavalry from both sides were clashing, there was no special accuracy to speak of. Moreover, the Xianbei people had fewer iron arrows, and most of them were bone arrows.
When it landed on the Han soldier's armor in the air, it was already a little weak and could not have the effect of fatal penetration. It only acted as a harassment.
However, if you are unlucky and are shot in an unprotected part, or if it falls on a completely naked war horse, there will still be some damage.
Moreover, the rain of arrows thrown by Xianbei first also disrupted the rhythm of the Han army's cavalry. The Han soldiers who had already drawn their bows were forced to lower their bows and arrows, and struck with weapons or used shields to block them, which slowed down the counterattack.
Speed. Some Han cavalry had to tear off the obstructive arrows hanging on their armor leaves while shouting and cursing, so that their subsequent actions would not be affected.
Some of the unarmored horses were injured and jumped away one after another, neighing...
The two sides got closer and closer. After attacking each other with bows and arrows, they unanimously put down their bows, drew their swords, and raised their spears, preparing for a collision!
Cavalry warfare and infantry warfare are almost completely different types. The difference is actually similar to the types of "pawns" and "horses" in Chinese chess. Infantry warfare is like a small pawn, moving slowly, and the initial
At that time, you can only move forward. Under normal circumstances, only after defeating the corresponding infantry formation on the opposite side, can you have the opportunity to conduct a joint attack with other troops or other tactical actions.
The cavalry moves fast and seems to be walking in a straight line. In fact, when the two sides are about to collide, they will basically move their horses to seize the outer circle.
Of course, this refers to light cavalry, not heavy cavalry with full armor. After all, light cavalry is all about flexibility, and this flexibility requires more space for movement, and the closer you go to the inner circle, the more it will be compressed.
In one place, once the light cavalry of the two sides start fighting, they will seize control of the outer circle, and try every means to push the opponent into the inner circle, forcing the opponent into a ball, and finally, like peeling an onion, killing each other layer by layer.
Kill your opponent to death...
This is the most basic cavalry and light cavalry tactics.
And every other row is like a mountain. This kind of cavalry tactics is so laborious just to talk about, not to mention that it must be clear and commanded properly amidst the flash of swords and the flying of flesh and blood. Therefore, generals are also very different and are good at commanding infantry.
You may not necessarily be good at commanding cavalry, that's why.
As soon as the two sides came into contact, it was particularly obvious at this time that the Xianbei weapons and armor were not as sharp as the Han army.
Apart from anything else, all Xianbei used on his horse were ordinary hardwood spears. Of course, these weapons were equally deadly. They were powerful when charging straight, and the first spear in the middle was also a huge flesh and blood hole. But such a spear,
The strength is there, but the toughness is not enough. It can only stab straightly, but cannot do any other things.
Fei Qian carefully armed the Han army's light cavalry. The sophisticated sleeve armor provided better protection from arrows and did not hinder much movement on horseback. The long spear in his hand was made of oil-impregnated and tied with hemp.
A good-quality gun shaft made of raw lacquer is both strong and tough, and will not break easily even under violent blows. Therefore, if the direct thrust fails, the Han cavalry can just swing the spear shaft and use it as a whip or to strike.
Hit with a stick!
The two sides collided violently, causing a huge roar of people shouting and horses neighing!
Zhao Yun led the Han cavalry to spin, like a high-speed rotating blade, causing the Xianbei cavalry to rain blood!
