Chapter 744: Chi Na under the plow
From Meiji to Qiuci, that is, Yulin, the Baitu and Pingping corridor areas in the middle are the key nodes connecting the north and the south.
??At that time, the straight road of the Qin Dynasty also led directly to the foot of Yinshan Mountain from here.
A large area to the west of Baitu is a desert area, with yellow sand everywhere and no water source for two to three hundred miles. Although it is not large, it is easy to get lost when marching in the desert with no coordinates. Once you go in the wrong direction, you will be boundless. The feeling will soon drive everyone crazy. Eventually, the water source will be cut off and they will die of thirst in the yellow sand.
To the east of the passage between Baitu and Pingding is the old Qin-Zhao Great Wall. Since it is the Great Wall, it was naturally built based on the mountains. Although there are several rivers passing through the mountains and forming some valleys, the rocks are also rugged and not a good marching road...
Outside the old city of Pingding, Zha Tiansheng, Alan Yi and Lin Yinqin led a coalition of tribesmen to camp here. Since this was the main marching route, Zha Tiansheng sent troops to Yufuluo, Ma Yue and Zhao Yun. After that, I received the news quickly.
Zha Tiansheng brought 5,000 people, Alanyi and Linyinqin each had 3,000 people, and the total number of horses was more than 10,000. Thousands of people and horses gathered together, and the overwhelming tents were connected to the Together, the three tribesmen knew each other in many ways, so some got together, and some worked skillfully and tacitly in coordination to organize the cattle and sheep pens and build simple fences, just like they had been doing for thousands of years. migration.
For war and death, these barbarians basically don''t care much. In other words, these barbarians are a type of troops that will not lose morale during long-distance marches. For them, they constantly migrate and then fight with the people of heaven and earth. Living or dying in the battle is a normal thing, and it is not worth being nervous about.
On the contrary, in the wars between the Han people, we often saw so-called enemies on all sides, using hometown feelings as a killing weapon. However, for the Hu people who are at home all over the world, the effectiveness of this method may be greatly reduced.
?But this does not mean that the Hu people can die worthlessly...
A tribesman saw Zha Tian Sheng''s figure on the hillock, took off his felt hat from a distance, then knelt down on one knee and performed a chest caressing ceremony. Then he saw Zha Tian Sheng wave his hand, then stood up and continued. He was busy with his own affairs.
??Zha Tiansheng looked at the tribesmen following him, who were laughing and humming songs, and waved his riding whip, feeling a little hesitant.
Humphrey has already arrived. This is what they expected, but what they didn''t expect was that so many people came from Humphrey!
The original plan of Zha Tiansheng and the others was to form a three-sided encirclement in the Pingding area when Yuvluo passed through this naturally narrow and long area from Baitu to Pingding, and carry out a devastating attack on Yuvluo or the vanguard of the Han people. The blow…
?However, isn’t the current vanguard force too large?
Can this still be considered a so-called pioneer?
It is simply the main force, okay?
In ancient wars, soldiers of the same type fought against each other, and the casualties were the most tragic. Zha Tian Sheng naturally understood this truth, so he had to use the 10,000 cavalry that were now pacified to fight against Yuvluo''s 10,000 cavalry. Although the number was not the same, No loss, but even if he wins, he will probably suffer heavy losses.
In this way, when your strong and young tribesmen suffer too many casualties, your tribe will face many problems in the next step. These problems have also occurred in tribes that have been annexed by you...
what to do?
Flanker attack on both sides, but the area from Baitu to Pingding is limited by the terrain. There is a desert on one side and mountains on the other side, so it is impossible to effectively bypass the rear and attack on the flank.
Well, it would have been nice if Huvroud had brought fewer people with him this time.
?Zada Sheng shook his head and sighed.
If Huvroud does not have many men and horses, the coverage will not be very spread out, and then there will be more or less gaps on both sides of the army. Now that the thousands of cavalry men and horses are spread out, unless they risk their lives and enter the desert, otherwise they will not be able to reach both sides. It is too difficult to avoid being detected by Huvroud''s scouts and to arrive at the battlefield at the right time...
If Yuvro is allowed to pass through this area, and then fight in a relatively wide area like Pingding, although the scene of ten thousand cavalry versus ten thousand cavalry will be large enough, the damage to the tribesmen will also be very great. The key is that the Meiji Royal Court is not unanimous in its opinions!
??If their tribe declines because of this battle, which side will the old foxes who stayed in Meiji support?
?Zha Tiansheng sat on a hillock, rubbing the sprouting green grass seedlings with his feet, and was in a dilemma.
Alanyi and Linyinqin found Zha Tiansheng and sat down as well.
The two of them also felt very embarrassed about the current situation. They originally planned to fight a wolf or a rabbit in order to shock Yu Fuluo and the people in Meiji Royal Court, but they did not expect that now A large pack of wolves came...
Would you like to fight again?
Alanyi hesitated for a long time, and then said: "Why don''t we fight here?" Twenty thousand people were crowded into the narrow area from Baitu to Pingding. It was basically a war of attrition. For both sides, such a fighting method Both are the worst choices.
Zha Tiansheng shook his head, and settled that although this was the exit of this narrow strip, it was not the kind of terrain where valley roads or dangerous passes could block the exit. It was only a slight disadvantage for Hufro, but It doesn''t mean that the troops cannot be deployed. At worst, it can be cut out by cutting around the edge of the desert.
Therefore, in the decisive battle to pacify the enemy, it just expanded from a narrow area to a larger engagement area. In fact, there was not much difference.
Lin Yinqin said: "What should we do? We can''t just go back like this, right?"
Zada Shengya shook his head and said: "We absolutely cannot go back like this..."
After a pause, Zha Tiansheng said decisively: "Let''s divide our troops!"
“Divide the troops?”
"Yes!" Zha Tiansheng said, "You two are holding Yu Fuluo here while I lead the people around the Tuwei River Valley and attack the Han camp in Qiuci... Even if the camp cannot be captured, it will be destroyed. For Yuvluo and others'' retreat, the Han people will definitely order the Han cavalry to return for reinforcements... At that time, if Yuvluo will follow him to retreat, then we will return to the army and go to Meiji to deal with those old foxes. If we don''t retreat, we will bring them ourselves. It would be better to attack by force, and wait until I circle back from the river valley..."
?Zada Sheng laughed ferociously, and then made a pinching motion with his hands.

The content is still the same, there is no difference...
But the author does not have the authority to change the chapter name...
