The first thousand and ninety-fifth chapters let Ma Xijin raid the West Sea
The winter hunting began, and Zhang Liao had to participate no matter what, which made Fang Zhiwen, who originally hoped that he would be stationed in the Ji Chou and Linhe, a little helpless, but he could also understand Zhang Liao's mood. He just wanted to forget the unhappiness in his heart through the battle.
So Fang Zhiwen and Lin Shu were transferred Cheng Lian and Hao Zhao to station in Linhe, Lin Rong and Hao Zhao divided their troops to garrison Jiming Pass, showing that Fang Zhiwen valued Hao Zhao, a young general, and thus increased Hao Zhao's loyalty.
Arranged defense affairs, Fang Zhiwen divided his troops into two groups, and took Huang Zhong and Guo Jia to the northern line, bypassing the northern end of the Gobi Desert, with his target of Juyanhai in Xihai County. According to information, it was the old nest of the Xianbei in Hexi.
Zhang Liao and Liu Ye walked the southern line, crossed the Gobi Desert along the border of Hexi County, preparing to attack Fang Zhiwen in a split-level attack, attacking the remnants of the Xianbei and Xiongnu from north to south, and destroying all nomadic tribes along the way.
In order to transport the spoils back in time and not delay his attack speed, Fang Zhiwen transferred Fan Guowei, Ma Xin and others, and issued a large number of military missions.
In fact, if Fang Zhiwen does not need to publish tasks, there will be many smart players following Fang Zhiwen. You should know that winter hunting is a custom of Youzhou cavalry. Whether it is hunting large wild monster communities or Hu tribes, the benefits are very coveted. Therefore, there are many players taking tasks, which makes Zhang Liao and others feel moved. If they have so many aliens taking tasks every time they publish tasks, they may not have reached the embarrassing level today.
The distance from the north line is much longer, but the harvest will be more. This place has penetrated deep into the grassland. If you compare it on the map of the real world, Fang Zhiwen's troops have entered Mongolia, and the tribes along the way can be seen every day. Fang Zhiwen is even more unceremonious and does not let go of any of them. He does not need to take action from his headquarters. Fang Zhiwen commands the troops of Yiren to encircle and attack, and then makes dumplings for these small and medium-sized tribes, then divides the spoils, and then releases tasks to escort the prisoners back to Linhe. The process is very familiar and flowing, and the players are also making a profit.
"Look, I said it a long time ago. It is correct to follow Fang Zhiwen to the northern line. If you follow Zhang Liao to the southern line, it would be difficult to get so much."
"Haha, you are all experienced!"
"Haha, that's it. I strive to follow Fang Zhiwen Dong to hunt every year. Fang Zhiwen's troops have very little time to participate in the war, but I have never seen him fail, so only by following the winner can you make a fortune!"
"You said this is strange. I have followed Zhang Liao to hunt, or formed a team to hunt. But the effect is very different. Why is this for? Will the Hu clan never run away or resist when he sees Fang Zhiwen?"
"Haha, there is a secret here. First, if you look at the route Fang Zhiwen chose, you find that it is not. He did not take a fixed route, but went for the goal purpose."
"It's this that makes people feel the most strange! Did he know in advance where the Hu tribe would hide in the winter?"
"Haha, I just know in advance!"
"How is this possible? Cheating?"
"You're stupid. Don't you know that the Hu tribe can't survive without the Han people?"
"Ah! I understand, caravan!"
"That's right. The caravans on the grassland have heard that the farthest part of the caravan has gone to the Siberian Forest. The Pamir Plateau has reached the west. Most of these caravans are Han people who were originally naturalized by Xianbei people. They can not only do business but also do business and trade populations, persuade naturalization and investigating intelligence. This is all money!"
"Damn! So that's the case. The people of Youzhou are really cunning!"
"Hehe, those simple-minded guys in the Hu clan did not understand the tricks here. Even if they understood, they could not live without the caravan. Without the caravan salt, tea, beans, etc., they could not survive anymore. It was a helpless move to make a skin with the tiger. In modern theory, it was the industrialized economy that ultimately defeated the systemless natural economy!"
"sharp!"
"But even so, the Xianbei people can escape!"
"Escape? Where to escape? Didn't you notice that Huang Zhong's troops were always not there?"
"Huang Zhong? Could it be that he was blocking the surrounding area?"
"That's why the essence of cavalry lies in mobility, so if an elite force is placed on the periphery, the enemy will have no way to escape, and this big flag is added."
"Big Flag?"
"The Xianbei people called it the black demon flag. The place where this banner is located means there is no victory but only failure, which means that life can be saved after surrender. Even among the Xianbei people, there is a legend that the black demon is the new Khan king. In fact, there are more Xianbei descendants in Wuhuan who live in Youzhou than on the grassland, so it is not an exaggeration to call Fang Zhiwen the Khan king. Therefore, when the Xianbei people saw that there was no place to run away, they surrendered directly. Don't you think these surrendered Xianbei people are particularly honest? And they don't feel like being a prisoner at all. They also pack up their things in big bags, as if they were migrating."
"Uh, it's true. Just now, I saw a player insisting that those Xianbei people throw away a large bag of dry cow dung!"
"Haha, that one cannot be thrown away. Those who are used to ignite on the road are their ragged tents, which can be thrown away, and they occupy a lot of space. When they arrive at the ground, they have to be garbage. Anyway, they have to move into brick and wooden houses, so they can just use marching tents, and they can get it there."
"Damn, it's all about knowledge!"
"Haha, it's not knowledge but experience. After this time, will you have experience next time?"
"There is another next time? This year, Fang Zhiwen destroyed Helian, and now he has the idea of the Xianbei in Hexi. There will be no Hu clan at that time!"
"Haha, why can't it be that there are many Hu tribes in the Western Regions, and there are also many Hu tribes in the north, so there are so many Hu tribes!"
.
This player said it was right, there were so many Hu clans.
Fang Zhiwen and Zhang Liao approached the West Sea in a large manner, and the Hexi Xianbei naturally saw it, but they were also in trouble now. As soon as the drought caused them to suffer heavy losses, they originally planned to grow spring grass and take the opportunity to go to the south or east to grab some food to overcome the famine.
But I didn't expect that the Han people were even more cruel and came first in winter. It is not difficult to understand the truth in this, but the Xianbei people really have no war now.
As soon as the war begins, the war horses will eat hard and the soldiers will be full, but where does the food and hay come from?
But if you don’t fight the enemy, you won’t retreat because of this. Is there only one way to run away?
After thinking about it, after some debate, the Xianbei people concentrated their troops to send 100,000 cavalry to Fang Zhiwen, hoping to destroy Fang Zhiwen and then completely end his winter offensive.
At the same time, the Xianbei people and the remnants of the Xiongnu near the Juyanhai packed up their things and migrated to the northwest.
This compromise plan is not bad, but they made a hurry without understanding Fang Zhiwen's real purpose. Fang Zhiwen actually wanted the population, lower the population base of the Xianbei people, consumed their food, so they drove them away, and kept eating their left behind tribes, or the army that turned back to block. Fang Zhiwen was satisfied. With such a small force, Fang Zhiwen did not have the idea of completely destroying the Xianbei people in Hexi.
The battle on the northern line started and became a battle. Fang Zhiwen's troops took advantage of the range and speed advantages. The Xianbei people started chasing happily, but soon discovered something was wrong. They chased the enemy wildly, but the bodies thrown down on the road were all their own people.
The Xianbei people understood that they were being fooled, so they changed their strategy and tried to scatter the siege of Fang Zhiwen. Who knew that they had divided their troops? Fang Zhiwen immediately turned around and used the local military strength to compare their advantages. They cut melons and vegetables and usually ate their two 10,000 teams. Now the Xianbei people were really scared, so they just watched the Han army from afar, neither attacking nor staying away.
However, they thought that this would prevent Fang Zhiwen from being wrong. At night, Fang Zhiwen released a large number of tasks, using players as suspicious soldiers, and then Guo Jia's various trap strategies, Fang Zhiwen and Huang Zhong's elite were interspersed in it, so the Xianbei people who were like headless flies were in trouble in the dark.
Crossbow arrows like heavy rain, fireballs and rocks falling from the sky, spikes and horse nails all over the ground, mole holes, and extremely accurate ultra-long-range snipers. On this night, the Xianbei people finally learned a fact that the Han army is really strong, the Z demon is really terrifying!
On this night, the players finally knew that fighting could be fought in this way, precise, relaxed, and linked together, playing two or three times their own cavalry in the applause. Especially the precise beheading tactics of the elite troops of Huang Zhong and Taishi Zhaorong at night, the Xianbei people quickly fell into chaos.
Then Guo Jia ordered everyone in an orderly manner, forming a huge semicircular formation behind him, slowly driving the enemy to the south. In fact, these Xianbei people no longer knew where they were running.
The chase continued until the afternoon of the next day. As the last team of Xianbei elites who had run to death and surrendered, the battle finally came to an end. Afterwards, a player made the whole process into an example and put it on the forum. This seemingly simple battle allowed Guo Jia to adapt to the situation, make every plan, and have a full range of ideas and have deep into the hearts of every senior military enthusiast.
This was an astonishing victory, with the casualties of the Han army almost negligible, while the Xianbei elite troops were annihilated at about 80,000, of which 60,000 were surrendered. This included both the generals being sniped in large numbers and the notorious effect of the Black Demon.
Next, Fang Zhiwen played another trick that surprised all the players. He actually reorganized all the prisoners of war on the spot and organized them into his own troops, and told the soldiers a target.
"Follow me and snatch your family out and keep them away from poverty and hunger from now on!"
Then all the players' chins fell all over the floor, and the 60,000 new recruits actually burst into shocking cheers! This is really unscientific!
So under the leadership of these leaders, Fang Zhiwen attacked from all sides and quickly destroyed a large number of tribes that had not yet been evacuated. Most tribes surrendered without a single arrow because their children were standing opposite each other!
