Let us turn our attention to the northern desert for the time being.
While Huguan is in chaos, the battle in Beimo is also going on at the same time...
Like the Cao army in the Taihang Mountain Road, who was running around and working hard was Zhang He who took the detour to attack Cao Chun.
But now, Zhang He found himself in trouble.
He originally wanted to take someone to stab Cao Chun, but he didn't expect to meet Semi during the detour.
These people with erotic eyes are tall and do not fear the cold. Sometimes they can even run in the snow with some ragged leather robes...
Of course, some of these people with Semen are poor and do not have more leather robes.
In addition to not being afraid of the cold, these people with a layer of fluff on their bodies, which is neither short nor long, almost covering their whole body, just like a white monkey who is still one step away from turning into a human, and their bodies are covered with the smell of various oils, dirty and barbaric.
These white monkeys not only eat their enemies, but also their own people.
It seems that everything is food, prey...
Crazy, and because of madness, it is fierce.
This is not the first time that Zhang He has captured these white monkeys, but he has no language. Even if he catches the living, he can't ask anything. He can only roughly judge that these people are from a deeper area of ​​the Northern Desert, so these guys are born to withstand some severe cold, but they are not afraid of severe cold.
Because these semen cannibals, Zhang He did not have any good attitude towards these semen. Zhang He asked someone to cut the semen's corpses to determine if there was any difference between these semen and others. He also asked people to tie the captured semen in the wild, and froze into a smiling ice sculpture in one night, etc. This shows that these guys are still within the category of "human", but their bodies are stronger and tall.
Then there was trouble...
These semen began to attack Zhang He's troops like madmen.
At first there were only a dozen people, but later there were dozens of people, and finally hundreds of people appeared...
Only then did Zhang He realize that in this relatively sparsely populated area, it seemed that these white monkeys had classified themselves as their own area. It was like a group of wild beasts peeing around the territory, and he felt that he had been this area, even the masters of the earth for generations. And Zhang He and others who entered this area were full of endless malice.
The language was not clear, and Zhang He couldn't understand the nonsense of the white monkeys, and the white monkeys seemed to have no desire to communicate with Zhang He and others at all, just thinking about killing.
The damage caused by this is inevitable, and the battle is also inevitable.
『Wow...』
A group of white monkeys entangled Zhang He again and rushed up frantically.
Most of the people with red hair and jump like flames when running. Some of them like to use the heads of beasts as their helmets, and suddenly they look like a wolf or a bear.
The white monkey's semen's war horse is taller and stronger than the horses of Zhang He and others, and has long hair on its body, which is difficult to deal with. "Shooting arrows! Shooting arrows!"
Zhang He gave an order with some frown.
It is not a good idea to fight directly with these white monkeys.
These white monkeys are stronger than the soldiers under Zhang He, and most of them are heavy weapons. Most of them are battle axes or hardwood sticks.
Don’t underestimate the hardwood stick. This thing hits the body. Even if there are no big scars on the outside, you won’t live for a few days if your internal organs are injured.
Many soldiers under Zhang He died of internal bleeding.
Therefore, it is necessary to wait for these white monkeys to consume their physical strength for a while and their endurance decreases to minimize casualties.
Therefore, even if you consume not many arrows, you will have no choice.
『Swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish
The whistling of the arrows pounced on the other side with a desire for flesh and blood.
Semu people also have archers, but their bows are longer, so they have to shoot from the side when shooting. Although the power is larger than the riding bows of Zhang He and others, the angle will be even more disadvantageous.
『Puchi...Puchi...』
Most of the Seminites are without armor, and a small number of them have armor that is not fully covered. Therefore, as long as the arrows are shot, the killing effect is good. The sound of arrows shooting into the body keeps ringing, and then people are overturned, screams arise one after another, and then they are drowned by the sound of horse hooves roaring like thunder.
The dead and injured unlucky guy who was mercilessly trampled by the war horse, leaving only a bloody mark.
But more white monkeys looked like crazy people who had lost their minds and roared and rushed up.
Zhang He shook the gun flower, bounced the battle axe in the hand of a Seminister, then exhaled and pierced his chest and abdomen with one shot. Before the Seminister could catch the handle of the gun, he shrank back and brought out a bunch of blood.
Zhang He did not have any brute force like this, but it was not difficult for Zhang He to deal with it, but the problem was that not everyone under Zhang He had such superb martial spirit like Zhang He.
Some soldiers were somewhat uncomfortable when facing the battle axe.
These people with semen have greater strength than ordinary people. Sometimes, if they chop off with an axe and if they are not right, not only will the gun and spear be cut off, but even people or horses will be cut in half.
Especially these semen people will not retreat even if they are injured. They often pounce on them with injuries and even more crazily. Even if they do not have the battle axe or swords, guns and weapons in their hands, they will still bite them, and sometimes they will even bite the throats of Zhang He's soldiers and suck blood...
If it were ordinary soldiers, they would collapse on the spot, but under Zhang He's command, they could still maintain a stable position in general, and as much as possible, and then kill these Semi people one by one.
The battle was not long, but some soldiers were injured or died during the battle.
"This won't work..."
Zhang He is indeed very troubled.
These white monkeys are like flies. If they don’t beat them, they will be disgusting to death. If they beat them, they will be disgusting.
The most critical issue is that the time Zhang He originally scheduled was delayed...
"We must think of some solution..."
Zhang He frowned, looked at the direction where these erotic people were attacking, and pondered.
...
...
The battlefield information is opaque and will always be the generals' worries.
When the new year of the Ninth Year of Taixing approached, Cao Chun finally received the latest news.
Although it was quite lagging when the news was transmitted from Jizhou to Youzhou and then from Youzhou to Cao Chun, it was better than nothing...
When Cao Chun learned about the progress of Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun in Shangdang Heluo, Taiyuan, he hurriedly called Mo Huba.
Cao Chun was very dissatisfied with Su Li and Mo Huba's slow movements, so when Mo Huba came, Cao Chun turned black and wanted to give Mo Huba some color to see.
Mo Huba was very alert. He immediately fell to the ground, cried bitterly, pointed at the sky and swore that he was loyal to the Han Dynasty and Cao Chun. Then he talked about various specific difficulties, saying that it was not that he was not capable, but that the enemy was too cunning...
As a middleman wandering between the Han and Hu people, Mo Huba reported to Cao Chun that after they had contacted and fought with the Changshan army, they "turned in" all the way to the Black Stone Forest. However, the Changshan army seemed very hesitant about pursuing, and often seemed to be wandering around in place, without pursuing action.
Mo Huba reported that he and Suli's army invaded Changshan's army many times, but no matter how they acted, Changshan's army would quickly withdraw from the camp after they were dispatched, so they asked Cao Chun to give instructions for the next step.
In addition, Mo Huba also said that the people of Yu Zhuge seem to have disappeared. I don’t know if it was because of the wind and snow that broke off contact or for some other reason. Anyway, I can’t contact now, and I suspect that I have fled back to Liaodong.
This made Cao Chun very angry, but he didn't care about Yu Zhuhu now. It was Zhao Yun's abnormal behavior in Changshan, which made Cao Chun unable to understand for a while. Cao Chun suspected that there was something wrong with his plan and was discovered by Zhao Yun. But if Zhao Yun discovered that Cao Chun had left Yuyang, shouldn't he turn his troops to attack Yuyang by taking advantage of the situation?
Or did Zhao Yun have already drawn troops and marched into Yuyang secretly? But why didn’t he receive the alarm from Yuyang and didn’t even see the wolf smoke?
This is very wrong.
Cao Chun heard how happy Changshan was when he was going out, but now he is in a difficult situation.
If Zhao Yun really doesn't come to Black Stone Forest, Cao Chun will have to retreat.
But if Zhao Yun was ambushed by Zhao Yun during the retreat...
Is Zhao Yun still prepared any backup plan?
Cavalry in Yinshan?
But shouldn’t the cavalry in Yinshan be restrained by the troops of Taiyuan and Shangdang?
Or has the Taiyuan Shangdang attack failed?
If you are outside, you can be arbitrary, but you have to take on the responsibility of arbitrary behavior. When information is not smooth and the battlefield is not transparent, arbitrary behavior is often at high risk.
"Let's leave tomorrow and head to Changshan Military Camp!"
Cao Chun issued an order.
Since Zhao Yun doesn't move, he has to move. If he doesn't move, he will not do it.
The weather is cold now, and it has already snowed a few times. In the future, there will be no need to say when it will snow heavily. The window of war is about to close, and there must be a result in this last time.
Whether it is a war or a retreat, we can't wait any longer.
Cao Chun thought that he had brought 4,000 people, and Zhao Yun had about 3,000.
Whether it is Cao Chun or Zhao Yun, it is normal for some people to stay at home.
Zhao Yun had Jiankun Rouran's servants, and Cao Chun also had Sulimo Huba and others with him. Overall, he could fight one battle, but if he fought head-on, the damage would naturally be greater. He could use some tricks to eliminate the opponent, or use the fire of the Black Stone Forest to annihilate part of it, and then he could fight less and win a big victory.
If ten fights ten, it may be a loss-making loss, but if ten fights five, it may be a minor injury, while one side of five is a team-destroying.
Cao Chun was preparing to let Suli attack first from the northwest direction, and then cut from the northeast direction from Mo Huba, while Cao Chun himself attacked from the north direction with his men.
If Zhao Yun's entire army was present, Cao Chun took the initiative to evacuate, lured Zhao Yun to pursue him to the Black Stone Forest, and set fire to Zhao Yun.
If Zhao Yun's Changshan military camp had actually secretly transferred troops and was now an empty shell, then Cao Chun would eat these small parts of the troops in one breath, then approach Changshan, or intercept Zhao Yun's troops attacking Yuyang.
Cao Chun thought very comprehensively, but Cao Chun forgot one thing...
Before dawn, there were sounds of cow horns around the Black Stone Forest.
The troops are gathering.
The soldiers had already eaten the early dried rice, so the Cao army would be richer, while the Hu people would be simpler.
Warm soup food can always bring some strength to people.
Amid the sound of the horns, the soldiers packed up their tents, tied them to the baggage truck, then fed the horses a bite of essence, and then led the horses to tie the saddles, slowly gathered under the banner of their respective troops.
Cao Chun stood under his fiery red flag on his horse. He looked at the endless stream of people in front of him, and his eyes showed excitement and fighting spirit. He was also a little nervous. This was a large-scale battle, which also determined the status ranking of Beimo, whether life or death, success or failure, and this was the first move.
If Cao Chun had not dared to have too many ideas about Changshan before, because Changshan Yinshan was actually connected together. As long as you can't take Changshan within three to five days, you should be careful that Yinshan's people might appear behind your butt at any time...
So when no one restrains Yinshan, Changshan cannot be defeated.
And now, it is an opportunity. An opportunity created by Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun. If Cao Chun doesn’t fight, there may be no better opportunity in the future than now.
The Cao army had no cavalry before, but after meeting the cavalry, there was an additional army. Cao Chun was this duck riding on the horse. Apart from the cavalry, who used cavalry as the main battle sequence in the Three Kingdoms?
The commanders from various departments rushed over and reported to Cao Chun loudly that his part had been assembled.
Cao Chun counted and after confirming that, he made a departure position with the trumpeter behind him.
『Woo…』
The low sound of the horn sounded.
Immediately, more horns sounds joined in, forming a constant circling concerto.
The sun seemed to be awakened by the sound of the horns. He trembled and jumped out of the mountain top, staring at the people and horses on the desert with wide eyes, and many golden question marks appeared on his head.
...
...
A war between the two sides combined with more than tens of thousands of people is about to begin, but after the opening, it seems a bit unusual.
The discordant note at the beginning was first blown by the Jiankun people.
When Jiankun's Poshihe Deer Antlers followed Zhao Yun, they always had a slightly flattering smile, which made other Hu people look down on him more or less. But Poshihe Deer Antlers are different from those who insist on keeping Jiankun independent. He thinks that relying on the Han people is Jiankun's most correct choice.
The Han people have a strong culture and a strong military. Shouldn’t they become friends of the Han people, but instead become enemies of the Han people?
As for the problems between the Han people, it is the problems within the Han people. No matter which side defeats which side of the Han people, they are Han people after all, so they are still strong. What choices do you need to make? Aren’t adults all?
Moreover, Poshihe deer antlers have their own abacus.
He was once the leader of a large tribe in Jiankun Kingdom, but he failed in the battle with the Semu people before and lost a lot of tribe population and cattle and sheep. The population of these tribes cattle and sheep determined that his status naturally declined, and now he is even worse than that of some small and medium-sized tribe leaders.
Now he has to stick to Zhao Yun no matter how alive he is, in order to protect the elderly, weak, sick, disabled, and children of his tribe. As long as he survives this period of time and the new generation in the tribe grows up, then his tribe will still have hope. Otherwise, he will be divided into some of the other tribes in Jiankun around him. In a short time, he will be able to watch his tribe decline and end up like the previous disappearing tribes.
Zhao Yun did not reject the "loyalty" of Poshihe Deer Antlers, but also required that Poshihe Deer Antlers must show their own value. Simply put, the Han people do not raise "waste"...
Although Zhao Yun did not use such cold words to explain the requirements, Poshihe Deer Antlers spontaneously and automatically translated Zhao Yun's words. He could understand it. After all, he also spitted such words at many people back then, asking them to prove themselves on the battlefield.
Now, it’s time for Poshi River deer antlers to prove themselves…
Although his legs were shaking, he couldn't tell anything about it while sitting on the horse's back.
The rolling sound of horse hooves stimulated the war horses, making them feel restless. They either raised their heads and neighed, kicked their legs and sniffed their heads, and needed the cavalry to tie the reins so that the war horses would not rush out.
Of course, it is impossible for Poshihe Deer Antlers to compete head-on. He just needs to restrain and pull the other party's wings...
After doing psychological construction for myself several times, including but not limited to those who died, the deer antlers in Poshi River were the horn of attack. The queue began to move slowly, and the speed was gradually accelerating, and the sound of horse hooves gradually became dense.
Poshihe Deer Antlers raised his sword, "The Warrior Jiankun follows me!"
『Oh oh oh oh oh oh…』
Jiankun's cavalry roared.
The shouting was like this, but Poshihe Deer Antlers did not mean to directly confront Cao Chun or any of the parties under Cao Chun. Instead, they led their men and horses to run more and more slanted, and even in the end they ran out in an arc, leading Suli's wing out.
Of course, this is also inseparable from Suli's "cooperation".
Suli was originally forced to come by Cao Chun's order. Seeing such a good "prey", she was like a hunting dog with a reins, roaring and following the horse's hooves of the deer antlers of Poshihe to the edge of the battlefield.
Mo Huba on the other side also naturally fought with the Rouran cavalry on the other flank, giving up the main gap in the middle to Cao Chun.
This made Cao Chun, who originally wanted to play Tian Ji's horse racing, very embarrassed.
When the cavalry of the Changshan cavalry in the center began to use Zhao Yun as the sword edge, like a sharp sword shining with murderous aura, shining with sharp edges in the winter sun, Cao Chun seemed to be forced directly under the nose by this sharp sword.
Cao Chun originally thought that Zhao Yun would conduct several tentative attacks according to the general combat mode before the entire army could attack, so he had enough time to arrange and arrange orders, but he did not expect that Zhao Yun would attack the entire army from the beginning!
Hasn’t Zhao Yun always been calm, cautious and considerate?
When did you become so reckless?
Could it be that the person under Zhao Yun’s banner is not Zhao Yun?
But what should I do now?
In order to deterrent effect, Cao Chun spread the queue very well. In this way, the queue can look huge, but the problem is that the thickness is not enough. In front of Zhao Yun's front and arrow formation, it is easy to be torn apart and then collapse as a whole!
Just retreat like this?
What if Zhao Yun, who doesn't know the truth or the fake, is bluffing?
You have to hit it once to know the truth or falsehood.
He had no time to order the Hu people on both wings again, so he could only send his own warriors.
Cao Chun pulled out his battle knife and shouted with all his strength: "The left wing moved closer to the central army, the right wing covered and shot, the front army attacked! Advance at full speed!"
The cavalry of Cao's army shouted and implemented Cao Chun's will, and rushed to the opposite side like a torrent.
Happy New Year!
Chapter completed!
