Mystery Makes Me Strong Text Volume Chapter 2095: Walking Yuan Shao's path Wen Rensheng carefully observed the enemy's formation in front of him.
Obviously, the Wuhuan people on the front are relatively wealthy.
Some of them have three horses, and some of them have two horses, just beside them.
When attacking, people would be left behind to guard the horses.
In the past, when the Huns were at their peak, each cavalryman was equipped with four horses.
When running for a long distance, four horses are driven at the same time, and only one of them is ridden.
One horse is tired and does not stop. The whole army is galloping, and the riders jump directly from the back of one horse to another.
This is something only an extremely skilled cavalry can do.
And the current Wuhuan people are obviously not as wealthy as the Huns.
But they also brought 2 or 3 horses.
You must also have mastered the method of exchanging horses for riding while traveling, which can greatly increase your mobility.
Will not be caught up and killed by infantry.
At this time, there was a hillside in the distance.
Zhang Chun, Lord Wuhuan of Liaoxi County Qiu Liju, Lord Wuhuan of Liaodong Province Su Puyan, and Lord Wuyan of Wuhuan of Beiping County on the right were looking at Wen Rensheng's formation from a distance.
"I don't believe their food can last two months!"
"Yes, we have surrounded them. Unless they go down to the river, they can't escape even if they put on wings!" Su Puyan said with a smile.
This is the advantage of cavalry.
Although most of them are just herdsmen on horseback, they can still shoot arrows, throw javelins, and throw stones.
We can't expect them to fight the infantry with scimitars.
If they dare to give such an order, they will fight among themselves and even flee.
Let them play long range and they can take some casualties.
But slashing at close range is absolutely impossible.
"We have to consume all their bows, arrows, javelins, and fuel. If we continue to struggle, they will starve to death!" Qiu Liju also laughed.
This is their common strategy.
They just pestered the infantrymen in the Central Plains and trapped them to death.
Then they started sending troops to harass.
They gathered seven thousand-man troops who had some fighting ability.
Those who dare to rush to fight within 50 meters of the opponent.
Soon they let the first thousand-man team try to attack Wen Rensheng's infantry formation from the left wing.
They wielded simple slings and large clubs, all disposable.
Their tactics are very simple, they use an arc-shaped attack route to approach the opponent, and then spin around.
Similar to the "wheel" formation.
This move is actually very powerful.
It’s also difficult to master it.
Only a prairie cavalry team that often hunts together can do this.
Ordinary herdsmen cannot do this.
They can only wait until the enemy collapses to take advantage.
Soon the thousand-man team began to slowly accelerate and then approached the infantry formation.
A cavalry of thousands of people is quite terrifying.
The sound of the horses' hooves hitting the ground shook morale greatly.
During the filming of the movie, no phalanx of actors dared to face the charge of the cavalry head-on.
So much so that the director had to order the cavalry to deliberately circle around the formation.
If they were really charged head-on, the actors would run away knowing they were acting.
Don't overestimate people's fear of tall horses... Of course, horses are also afraid of sharp guns.
Unless it is a desperate situation, otherwise, arraying without fighting is the iron rule for cavalry against infantry.
Only heavy cavalry, with men and horses equipped with armor, dared to charge into the formation.
But that is only done at critical moments and key positions, not as a routine method.
It is only used in decisive battles.
This is like fighting a wolf with a straw.
Horses are afraid of spear formations, and spearmen are afraid of horse charging.
Because everyone is destined to die together.
Although Wen Rensheng's infantry were frightened now, with the chariots surrounding them in front, it would be difficult for the horses to rush over. At most, there would be a collision-type car accident.
Install the latest version.]
As long as the other party is not a fool, there will be no head-on confrontation.
Therefore, their morale was still very high, and they still carried out the officers' orders very stably.
But now, the other party is obviously not a fool.
They drew a large arc, then approached the side of the infantry and began to throw out projectile weapons.
Stones, sticks, javelins, bows and arrows, and even burning cow dung smoke...
It's almost useless.
Of course, when they approached, the tank side started ejection early when they entered the shooting range.
Arrows, crossbows, javelins, throwing spears...
Relatively speaking, it is more systematic.
The shooting range is also far.
Soon hundreds of horses were shot and fell.
Dozens of the unlucky ones were shot dead, dozens more wounded, and a dozen others jumped away from the fallen horses.
Someone was more clever and jumped directly onto his companion's horse.
Some people avoided the horse's hooves.
Those who are unlucky will be trampled to death directly.
However, everyone knows each other and is a good equestrian, so they try to avoid fallen horses.
It's similar to trying to avoid a rollover when driving.
After all, they are not modern cavalry. The distance between them is very wide, at least 5 to 6 meters, and their speed is not too fast. They can still be avoided within a range of 30 kilometers.
In short, in this round of ejection, the Wuhuan people were still as unlucky as before.
So they immediately changed their tactics.
They no longer approached, but watched from afar.
As long as Wen Rensheng doesn't move forward, they won't get close.
Everyone consumes each other.
Wen Rensheng was not in a hurry and asked the soldiers to camp on the spot.
Anyway, their herdsmen are grazing nearby.
Then the cheese kept coming.
There was definitely not enough grass to feed tens of thousands of people and horses. Soon, more than half of the 30,000 people were evacuated and went to other places to graze.
Only more than 10,000 horses and horses were left watching nearby and eating the food reserves.
Wen Rensheng sometimes sent his own cavalry, more than 1,000 of them, to fight against opponents on a small scale.
Although he brought 8,000 cavalry, there were not that many horses. He only brought one horse, which was not enough for one man and two horses.
Moreover, the cavalry has only been trained for less than a year, and is far from being considered proficient.
Riding requires long-term training.
So it is impossible to come up and fight the opponent decisively.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He still has to rely on his mature and powerful infantry to defeat his opponents.
His infantry has men.
Of course, there were 6,000 heavy troops among them.
The organization of his team is different from that of an ordinary feudal team... In an ordinary feudal team, 10,000 soldiers require 15,000 civilians to carry the baggage.
And because he developed compressed dry food, chariot ordnance, he only needed 6,000 people.
Moreover, the baggage troops have also been trained, belong to the secondary team, and can still fight.
This is of course based on high nutrition and high training.
Soon after the small-scale battle, the Wuhuan people could no longer bear it.
A dozen of them die every day, and occasionally dozens of people die.
There were also many injured.
This is terrible.
Because they had to wait and see if they were injured. They had no medicinal materials to treat them, and they didn't know how to use strong alcohol to disinfect them.
Half a month later.
"This can't go on like this!" Qiu Liju wanted to withdraw his troops.
"If we hold on for another month, they won't have many arrows left." Zhang Chun insisted.
"The person who died was not one of your clansmen, so of course you don't feel sorry for him!" Qiu Liju cursed.
Both sides were originally robbery gangs, how could they endure high casualties?
"You want to run because you want to taste whether my sword is sharp?" Zhang Chun pulled out his sword and said angrily.
Now his self-proclaimed emperor has expanded.
"My sword is not bad at all!" Qiu Liju also drew his sword!
A bunch of people immediately tried to persuade me.
"Forget it, don't do it."
"We are facing a powerful enemy, so don't fight among yourself."
"Let's think about how to defeat the enemy?"
"How to retreat the enemy? Let's retreat directly to the depths of the grassland. I don't believe they can keep chasing us." Qiu Liju said angrily.
"There are others deep in the grassland, including the Xianbei and the Xiongnu. They are not easy to mess with. If you go to their territory, more people will die." Su Puyan shook his head.
"Are they going to continue to fight hard? I see that their cavalry has been dispatched, and the scale has become larger and larger recently. Last time, 3,000 cavalry were dispatched, and we almost lost hundreds of people!" Qiu Liju was very worried.
He said heartbrokenly.
"Damn it, what should we do?" Su Puyan said angrily.
At this time, they are like facing a hedgehog and it is difficult to eat.
I don't want to run away directly.
In that case, they will feel that they have suffered too much loss.
This is not possible.
The loss is huge, but that’s not possible.
The tribe will be doomed.
But at this time, Wen Rensheng no longer gave them a chance.
The chariot started and headed straight for Liucheng.
If they don't want a decisive battle, they have to give up their base.
Without their base, they are weak.
With Liucheng, Wen Rensheng will let them know what it means to use economic means to kill the grassland tribes.
Soon Zhang Chun decided to take the plunge.
He led the charge.
Then he ran away...
A bunch of sharp arrows were originally going to shoot him into a hedgehog, but he made a sharp turn in front of the formation, dodged it, and then ran away with his cronies.
The other Wuhuan people also dispersed in a hurry.
Wen Rensheng arrived at Liucheng smoothly.
Then came the siege and attack.
Liucheng is actually very short. The city wall is only about four meters high, and some places are only over two meters high.
After all, the Wuhuan people are nomadic, not settled.
Ten days later, someone came to report that Zhang Chun's cronies took his head and came to collect the reward.
This is what happens when the leader collapses.
If your subordinates see no hope, they will kill you... Wen Rensheng ordered to give the reward to that cronies.
The reward is 500 acres of land, plus 500,000 yuan.
Not too much, but not too much.
The key is to enjoy it with peace of mind.
Then came the broken city.
The Wuhuan people were not good at defending the city at all.
After killing and injuring some people, they dispersed.
At this time, they had not yet formed the powerful Wuhuan people that Cao Cao would face more than ten years later.
In ten years, for a force, the gap is huge.
Now they are still in the battle cohesion period.
After several rebellions, they tempered their fighting power and developed a group of Wuhuan people who dared to fight.
But now, Wen Rensheng directly interrupted their upward momentum.
"On the grassland, you can raise sheep and engage in woolen textile industry."
Wen Rensheng then started building a woolen mill nearby.
It's cold in the north, especially in winter, so you need to keep warm.
Many people are short of clothes.
Food, clothing, housing, transportation, and clothing come first.
Because it is easy to freeze to death in the wild in winter.
With good clothes, you can go out to work and make money in winter.
That’s an extra 3 to 4 months of working time a year.
You can also farm in winter, such as greenhouse farming.
Even if you don’t have a greenhouse, you can expand to Liaodong with sweaters and plant one season a year.
Relying on wool spinning, Wen Rensheng successfully integrated the Wuhuan tribe into the Taihang Economic Zone economically.
Tribal people rely on wool in exchange for food, wine, salt, iron tools...
And then suffered economic control.
If one is economically controlled, it is impossible to escape from the control of force.
Wen Rensheng began to establish a fixed territory and fixed alliance flag system.
Grassland tribes are prohibited from nomadic herding at will. They must graze, raise sheep, and plant grass in fixed places to prevent grassland degradation. At the same time, they teach and study the Four Books and Five Classics. They must first learn the human ethics of parents and children...
As for the increasing population, what should we do if we can no longer afford the pasture?
Pulled out to sea to become a sailor overseas...
In short, with this combination of fists, Wuhuan people will become ordinary woolen mill workers...
It is no longer a political, economic and military organization.
…………
this day.
Xiao Huan found Wen Rensheng.
"Lao Wen, I think you can push for a draw. Look at how I am like this when I play games. I start with careful calculations and choose measures carefully. After I have beaten a few cities, I can attack with force without restraint.
Already."
"Push? That's right, let's get started." Wen Rensheng looked at his economy and soldiers.
The economy has developed and there are 50,000 elite soldiers.
After the cavalry incorporated the Wuhuan people, they already had 20,000 fine cavalry and 40,000 horses.
And it can be replenished continuously.
Then the flags started to be raised.
"The king of the world will be chosen by the people of the world."
"The sky is dead, Taixing must be established!"
"If you are aged **, the world will be blessed."
Anyway, they are pretty much the same thing.
The first wave was to capture Youzhou and Jizhou.
It was almost occupied.
Now it's just a matter of fact.
In fact, many powerful people knew that the Taihang Mountain people were rebelling, but they didn't do it openly before.
Now before, Zhang Chun claimed to be the emperor and rebelled, and now there is a rebellion from the Taihang Mountain people.
That's pretty much it.
Gongsun Zan sent troops to attack.
It was defeated in one battle.
Gongsun Zan was beaten so hard that he fled in embarrassment.
It's hard for him to defeat the Wuhuan people, but he still wants to defeat Wen Rensheng?
Simply ridiculous.
Soon the entire Youzhou and Jizhou were captured.
Then the measures taken by Wen Rensheng in the Taihang Mountains were uniformly implemented.
Didn't go further south.
Instead, it developed steadily for another year.
Stabilize the population, create jobs, and distribute food so that the refugees have food, cloth to wear, and houses to live in.
50,000 troops and horses, expanded to a standing army of 100,000.
Then he had a fight with Huangfu Song from the Northern Expedition.
Huangfu Song's Han army was not defeated.
But there were a few minor defeats.
It's hard to win.
He wanted to go deep into Jizhou to kill, but was trapped by the cavalry attack and had no chance to go deep into the hinterland.
This is the advantage of cavalry, which can be used for strategic defense to prevent the enemy from advancing straight in. Having cavalry can give you a strategic advantage.
There is nothing the opponent can do if they want to go deeper. If they are not careful, they will cut off their return route and besiege them on all sides.
However, the emperor was repeatedly stimulated and died.
Huangfu Song was recalled to Luoyang by the general.
Huangfu Song had no choice but to fight and retreat. He lost half of his 30,000 troops and horses, and then retreated to the south bank of the Yellow River.
Wen Rensheng went to occupy Bingzhou and Qingzhou.
In short, it copied Yuan Shao's Hebei strategy.
