As time entered March, the ice and snow on the grassland melted, and the grass was growing and the birds were flying, and the spring was shining brightly. Unfortunately, in previous years, the herdsmen were about to start rushing the fat cattle and sheep to find the pasture, but this year it was not possible, because the leader and the Khan were busy recruiting troops and preparing food, grass and equipment to fight the Han people.**(..)

In Liangzhou, the westernmost part of the world, Dong Zhuo has never been a sedate person. Dong Zhuo has always been both good at fighting between the Qiang people and the Xianbei people. Although his official position is not high, he is very famous. Last year, Fengning County, Youzhou was so fierce that Dong Zhuo's heart was quiet, and he didn't want to fall behind when he made achievements...

However, Liangzhou had always needed money and food to be paid by the central government. Although Dong Zhuo was good at crying for poverty, he was not good at flattering people. Moreover, he was not well-born and the aristocratic clans looked down on him. He finally curled up with He Jin, but He Jin's power is still very limited now, so when he heard that Fang Zhiwen was having a good time in Fengning County and wanted to make a difference, he was suffering from having no money and food.

When he saw Lu Bu using the power of Yiren, he made money and built two cities out of thin air. He realized that there was a huge force around him, so he turned his gaze to Yiren and began to face up to his cooperation with Yiren. Although Dong Zhuo is not well-known among Yiren, the Yiren power likes such ambitious people very much, and naturally there will be no fewer partners.

With Fang Zhiwen and Lu Bu in front of him, Dong Zhuo only needs Xiao Guicao, and Dong Zhuo never lacks courage. On the contrary, this guy has always been a waste of rules. Liangzhou has been robbed by the Hu clan for years. People's livelihood has declined and all industries have declined. It has reached the point where Dong Zhuo wants to take office, he naturally needs military achievements.

Dong Zhuo moved Geng Bi. Geng Bi was eager for quick success and instant benefits, and wanted to eliminate Hu trouble in one battle, so he hit it off with Dong Zhuo. Although Fu Xie had a foresight, he believed that using strangers would be worried about raising tigers. He should be treated with caution, but compared with the benefits in front of him, this speculation obviously could not make Geng Bi moved.

So, when spring came, Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou, took Dong Zhuo as the general of the army, and cooperated with Yiren in private to prepare to pacify the Qiang people in the east, to expel the Xianbei Xiongnu in the north, to restore the governing areas of Zhangye, Jiuquan, and even Dunhuang and Xihai County. The Yiren asked for it was the territory of the Xianbei and Qiang people around the eastern desert, which was originally the Xianbei and Qiang people, so Geng Bi naturally agreed happily.

The situation in Xiliang is different from that in Youzhou. The Hu tribes in the northern part of Youzhou are densely populated, and the Changbai Mountain area is the birthplace of the Xianbei tribe. Daqingshan is also within a short distance of Shanggu. Therefore, the Hu tribes in the northern part of Youzhou have a large population. The Wuhuan people alone have a population of nearly five million, and the Xianbei people are several times more than that. Going west, it is the territory of two million southern Huns.1(1)

Therefore, wars broke out in northern Youzhou, with tens of thousands of casualties often killed and injured. This is because both sides have enough populations, can invest a lot of combat power, and have great potential for war. It can also be seen from this that in northern Youzhou and northeast of Bingzhou, the war between the Han and Hu sides should last for quite some time.

However, in Liangzhou, it is actually very vast and sparsely populated. In addition to Dunhuang, most of Jiuquan, Xihai, and the grasslands north of Beidi County and east of Wuwei, the vast lands of Hexi Xianbei are also the territory of Hexi Xianbei. However, most of the land here is deserts, and the population of Hexi Xianbei is not large in this area. Similarly, the population of Beidi Qiang people, which are entrenched in the southeast of Hetao and in the north of Beidi County, is less than one million.

Therefore, the combat mode of Liangzhou is different from that of You. Dong Zhuo means to concentrate troops to carry out one or two battles, and then divide the troops into large numbers, using small troops to sweep and encroach, first completely eliminate the northern Qiang tribes in the northern part of Beidi County, and relieve their worries. The main force of the Xianbei in Hexi is in the north of Shangda Desert, and the number of people in the south is not enough to provide effective support to the Qiang tribe. Moreover, the Xianbei and Qiang tribes are not so friendly.

The southern Xiongnu are now fighting fiercely in the north of Yanmen, which is obviously unbearable. As for the Youxian King's tribe, far north of the desert, it is also a relationship between distant water and near fire.

Moreover, Dong Zhuo had contacts with some Qiang tribes, and there were several tribal leaders who called brothers and brothers. Originally, they had no support after fighting, so they could only use this kind of relationship to alleviate the conflict. Now that there are Yiren, as long as Yiren builds a city on the territory of the Qiang tribe, there will be no Qiang tribes in the future, and they are all Han people.

On March 9, 2018, Guanghe, Dong Zhuo led his 200,000 infantry soldiers and nearly 200,000 miscellaneous soldiers to set up a battlefield with 50,000 elite Qiang soldiers in the Shizui area north of Kang County.

Dong Zhuo, who always advocated attack, did not do this this time, forming three huge square formations with his infantry and players, more than 100,000 infantrymen, and putting on a defensive posture.

The Qiang people were brave and did not know that Dong Zhuo was planning such a formation. They came up and were the entire army to rush forward. In their eyes, the infantry of the Han army was originally very fragile, and the infantry on the opposite side were obviously mobs, and they could not resist the impact of the Qiang cavalry.

However, the Qiang people really underestimated the power of the players. The players' infantry is indeed not very good. However, behind the infantry formation, there is a large area of ​​small siege crossbows. Each player can put a car in the package. Thousands of generals and players can launch giant crossbows, which is absolutely terrifying. Although the giant crossbow can only be fired for one round and then put away, the huge damage and the obstacles formed by the thick crossbow arrows still seriously hit the Qiang people's cavalry charge.

Moreover, in the front row of the infantry formation, there were Dong Zhuo's troops. Although the Qiang people broke through the central infantry formation, they were immediately clamped by the infantry formations that were attacked from both sides and fell into a sea of ​​people tactics. Then there were the random shooting of crossbow soldiers, and the skill attack of players' gathering fire, especially the player's killing team, which specifically targeted the middle and low-level generals of the Qiang people. Several factors combined together immediately made the Qiang people's charge pause.

At this time, Dong Zhuo waved his long spear in his hand, and the cavalry on both wings launched a charge. Dong Zhuo's own cavalry unit was a vanguard. Even if the players' troops behind him had no combat power, they would hit and kill several of them as long as they rushed over. Don't forget that the Qiang horses no longer had speed, but they launched an attack from the side and back.

The Shizui Battle can be regarded as a classic combination of the indigenous troops and the player troops. Dong Zhuo used his troops as the leader to cleverly use the special abilities of the player generals to fully utilize the number of players' troops. At the same time, he avoided the fatal weakness of the player's troops' inconcentrated command and weak combat power, and won a great victory in this battle.

Afterwards, Dong Zhuo took advantage of the victory and attacked the Qiang infantry camp, perfectly ending the Shizui Battle.

Although the Han army suffered heavy injuries in the Shizui Battle, this is also related to Dong Zhuo's usual tactics. Dong Zhuo has always been a powerful general who pursues the theory of battlefield exchange. In Dong Zhuo's view, as long as the opponent is defeated, it doesn't matter if the soldiers are all dead. Those who survived the cruel war are all elite soldiers in a hundred battles. If the enemy destroys the soldiers, they can still attack again. With these elite soldiers in a hundred battles as the skeleton, the troops will be able to be pulled back soon.

Dong Zhuo basically destroyed the Qiang soldiers at a heavy price. The remaining tribal warriors could no longer be compared with those strong soldiers. Moreover, due to the failure of the war, the Qiang people, which were already disunited, became even more chaotic. The tribes fought on their own and could not form effective combat power at all.

Dong Zhuo knew the Qiang people very well. While using his own relationship to win over a large number of Qiang people to his arms, he encouraged the strangers to divide their troops and attack without restrictions to plunder the Qiang tribe.

Hundreds of thousands of strange troops swept across the entire northern Qianghu territory north of Shuofang County like locusts, completely destroying the large and small tribes of the northern Qiang tribes.

A few days later, the entire northern territory was restored, and the Qiang and Hu in the north were destroyed. Geng Bi established a city in Wuhai as promised and awarded Wuhai County to Ma Kang, the president of the Xiliang Association. At this point, the Beidi County expanded northward and bordered Shuofang. The battle in the north came to an end and the Qiang people in the north disappeared.

The battle to destroy Qiang in the north can be said to be lightning-rushing, and it really shocked the Shaodang Qiang, the Baima Qiang and the Ganlang Qiang in the west. The Qiang tribes, who were already a little ready to move, suddenly became at peace, for fear that if you accidentally, the war would burn on their heads. The strong killings and desire for territory showed by the Yiren made the Hu tribes around the Han area seriously uneasy.

Especially the Xianbei and Xiongnu people who are still entrenched in Zhangye, Jiuquan and Dunhuang. Even if Geng Bi and Dong Zhuo had no words, they knew that since the northern part could be recovered and the northern part could be destroyed, the places they occupied could become the targets of Dong Zhuo's attack at any time.

At the beginning of the year, Kirby Neng and Helianshan Changshuiyuan sent letters, calling on the Xianbei and Xiongnu to unite to resist the Han invasion. At that time, they treated it as a joke and laughed at Kirby Neng's timidity and the incompetence of the Wuhuan people. They were all given the old nests of the Han army generals in Fengning County. The famous Tadun thought it was just a false reputation.

When Dong Zhuo made efforts today, Yi Ren was prosperous and in the blink of an eye, the Hu tribes finally understood what Kirby could worry about, but unfortunately it was too late to say anything now.

Now Kirby can’t take care of himself, and the southern Xiongnu Shanyu Qiangqu were not spared. They were being beaten to the point of fighting by Lu Bu, the god of war in Bingzhou. To the east, the Murong tribe was entangled by Yiren from Fengning County, and Yiren troops began to appear in the territory of Queju. Xianbei Suli in the east and Su Yanpu in Wuhuan in the east were completely separated and were entangled with the Han army in Chifeng.

Now the Xianbei people can't unite anymore, because the Xianbei people in Hexi and the Xiongnu Right Xianwang tribe have been targeted by Dong Zhuo, and the war will begin at any time. At this time, let alone helping Helian and Kirby, they wish Helian and Kirby could come over and help them resist Dong Zhuo as soon as possible, but this is just a delusion.

At this point, the battlefield in the northern part of the Han Dynasty began to war, but unlike the situation where the Hu tribe marched south two years ago, this time, the offensive and defensive situation was the Han attacking the Hu tribe, the Han still had the same Han, and the Hu tribe was still the same Hu tribe, but why did this completely opposite situation occur? Anyone with discerning eyes knows that the rise of the strange people is already unstoppable. (To be continued...)
