Chapter 10 War
After the eight countries ceded their territory, the eastern border of Wei State was nearly doubled, and it could be roughly divided into five sections, the Jizhou Line, the Yongzhou Line, the Jingzhou Line, the Xuzhou Line, and the Bingzhou Line.
Among them, the Eastern Xinjiang Jizhou Line is close to the northern border, and the Eastern Xinjiang Bingzhou Line is close to the southern border.
The northern border is the first section of Jizhou, the southern border is divided into two sections, the Bingzhou line and the Youzhou line, and the western border is divided into four sections, the Jizhou line, the Jiangzhou line, the Yangzhou line and the Qingzhou line.
Therefore, Jizhou and Bingzhou are the two most lively states on the frontier. Both the east and north border lines have Jizhou, and the southeast border lines have Bingzhou.
This time, the werewolf cavalry attacked the border, and the Bingzhou line in the eastern border suffered a major impact, but the Bingzhou line in the southern border was also affected to a certain extent.
The werewolf was originally a tribe of the Bei Kingdom, but later it was divided due to disputes. It was located in the south of the Bei Kingdom, with a large grassland there, where people were born as cavalry and could fight by horses.
The horses of Yan State are the best, and the horses of Wei State are second, and the horses of the werewolfs can rank third.
But when it comes to the strength of the cavalry, Yan State can only rank third, the werewolf clan ranked second, and the first one is the Wei!
"I had received news earlier that the King of Beiguo intends to return the werewolf tribe and has done a lot of work in secret. What do you mean by saying that the werewolf tribe suddenly attacked?" Emperor Wei's voice sounded.
Wei Wuxian looked up slightly and found that His Majesty the Emperor was looking at him, which immediately made him nervous.
"Wei Wuxian." Emperor Wei called him.
"Ah? I don't know that military and national affairs are important, so I dare not discuss them." Wei Wuxian was startled.
The Emperor of Wei was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "I asked you to announce the imperial edict and tell Yang Xingxiong that he would fight this battle himself. There are 50,000 troops in the Bingzhou line in the East Xinjiang, including 20,000 cavalry, and 40,000 troops in the Bingzhou line in the South Xinjiang, and 20,000 troops in the Bingzhou line in the South Xinjiang, and 20,000 troops are divided for him to dispatch. If the solution is not done well, he will not have to be the general of the East Xinjiang."
The wolf is coming. It seems that some people can't help it. They want to try whether the water is deep or not. However, after sixteen years of development, Emperor Wei has long dug the pond into a deep and large sea. If anyone wants to come and go, they will accidentally be knocked over and drowned by the big waves.
Yang Xingxiong, the general of the Eastern Frontier, the general of Zhendong, the general of the Nine Stars, was appointed as the first rank of the chief official and was named Duke of Andong.
The only first-rank general among the four generals in the frontiers! The other three generals in the frontiers are all second-rank generals.
Looking at the history of the Chen and Wei, there are not many people, and they can count one hand, which is a great honor.
Perhaps the only one who could defeat Yang Xingxiong was the old Liu Zhanguo, who was also the first-class official, nine-star, titled Duke, and titled General An Chang.
An Chang, An Chang'an. With him, Chang'an can be safe.
After Wei Wuxian took the order and retreated, the Emperor of Wei helped the military officer and soldier up, which surprised the officer and soldier.
"Can you be a comrade?" Emperor Wei sorted out the slightly messy military uniforms of the officer and soldier.
Emperor Wei's question made the officer and soldier stunned for a moment, but he couldn't react immediately. After a while, he was surprised and said, "How did Your Majesty know?"
"I know that my soldiers are suffering from crossing mountains and ridges. I will go to the Ministry of Revenue to receive 1,000 taels of silver, and you will be eight cents." Emperor Wei said with a smile.
The officers and soldiers of the military post were immediately so grateful that they were shocked by the ability of Emperor Wei. They could guess that the military situation was sent by the soldiers of Bingzhou to save time and travel across mountains and rivers.
Emperor Wei patted the officers and soldiers on the shoulders, and the officers and soldiers thanked each other again, and then bowed and retreated.
But the officer and soldier didn't know that the Emperor of Wei knew about this matter an hour ago. When Wei Wuxian went to the criminal prison to deliver a letter to Lu Zhengxuan, someone came to Jiuji Palace to report the matter, saying that military information arrived at the post station outside Xing'an City and would be delivered soon.
Nothing inside and outside Chang'an City can be hidden from Emperor Wei. With Chang'an City and Nine Cities as the center, within a radius of hundreds of miles, no movement can escape the "eyes" of Emperor Wei.
Dongjiang.
The beacon fires and wolf smoke rose everywhere, and the war drums resounded like thunder.
It was two months after the emperor's decree arrived in the eastern border. Yang Xingxiong knew at the moment he arrived that the war should be decided. Three days ago, he had ordered the 20,000 border troops on the Bingzhou line in the southern border to come.
But he guessed that the coordination army might be redundant, but if you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of one. Underestimating the enemy is a taboo on the battlefield.
Of course, Yang Xingxiong could guess the thoughts of Emperor Wei, so he ordered a little in advance, which was not a rashness. If someone asked why the support army would arrive so quickly, he just needed to say that the border troops on the Bingzhou line in the southern border were rushed over with a whip.
In fact, Yang Xingxiong can defeat these 100,000 werewolf cavalry with his 20,000 iron cavalry plus 10,000 combat soldiers.
The werewolf cavalry rushed over, and the subsequent food and supplies were absolutely unable to keep up in time. Yang Xingxiong sent a special team to intercept most of the food and supplies, and the werewolf cavalry was about to run out of ammunition and food.
Cavalry is not good at siegeing cities, so if Yang Xingxiong doesn't go out, the werewolf cavalry will not have a chance to seize the city. Even if they use dead people to pile up, they will not reach the city wall. It is impossible for every heroic pass on the border of Wei to lay down 500,000 enemies.
The werewolf cavalry was not afraid, and what Yang Xingxiong cared about was the 200,000 army of the humble country.
When the werewolf cavalry attacked the border, Yang Xingxiong's scout team also discovered the 200,000 army of the Beiguo, which was the main course of this war.
The nine countries have lived peacefully for sixteen years, and this balance seems to be broken from the lowly country.
"General Liu, what do you think?" Yang Xingxiong looked at a middle-aged man next to him with a clairvoyance.
"Send troops to fight, don't wait for the border troops on the Bingzhou line in the southern border. Give me 10,000 cavalry out of the city." Liu Tianzhao said with a thousand eyes closed.
"Ten thousand cavalry? Even if you are really brave and invincible, you can stop the 200,000 low-ranking army behind you? A round of javelins on the opposite side may wipe out our team, right?" Yang Xingxiong asked deliberately.
"The general doesn't have to try me. If I can't even see this, I'm not worthy of being a general's soldier. If the general can't even see this, I'm not worthy of being a general." Liu Tianzhao turned around and went down the city wall to rectify the army.
Liu Tianzhao, one of the seven major generals under Liu Zhanguo, commanded the Xuanwu Army in Xuanwu Camp. On the 21st day of the 1st month of the 360th year of Chen Guoli, he was dismissed from the position of commander of the Xuanwu Army. At the same time, the Xuanwu Army was disbanded and transferred to Yang Xingxiong's tent in the eastern border. His rank has not changed, he is still a third-rank general, and his star rank has not changed, and he is still an eight-star general.
The first third and fourth generals in Liu Tianzhao's words refer to Yang Xingxiong, and the second general refers to Liu Zhanguo.
Yang Xingxiong was stunned and then burst into laughter. He was worthy of being an old cadre under Liu Zhanguo. If it were not for the situation, it would be absolutely fine to lead the army to be a general.
After laughing, a trace of sadness appeared between his eyebrows. Except for veteran cadres like Liu Tianzhao, the subsequent successors had already appeared. The younger generation of Wei State was indeed not enough to see.
"The order is sent, Liu Tianzhao will go out to fight with 10,000 cavalry."
The order was given, the city gates opened and the war drums were beating.
The Khan commanded the 100,000 werewolf cavalry. I don’t know how the Beiguo moved the werewolf, but the Khan was actually commanded by him.
The Khan of the werewolf tribe is called Jiuyi Tangerine Pi. This name is a bit weird. Anyway, this is how it is pronounced after the transliteration.
When the nine-system Chenpi saw the city gate open and an army rushed out, he was happy first, and then worried that he was not really going to go to war with the Great Wei, but it was just a force of life.
Although the werewolf people took away one-third of their territory after they split from the Bei Kingdom, and the plump grassland, they can ride horses all day long, and they can gather together from time to time to eat roasted whole lamb. It seems that they live a rich and happy life, but they have no place to live. Whether the harvest of a year is good depends on nature's expression.
If the grass this year is not fat enough, then the cattle and sheep raised in captivity will not be enough to support so many people, and many people will not be full or even starve to death.
So in the werewolf, there is a cruel default clause. When there is not enough food, the elderly in a tribe will be expelled and let them fend for themselves.
Because of this, the number of werewolf people has not grown. The entire ethnic group has only a few million people, and the population is not as large as a big city in Wei.
The nine-system tangerine peel has already negotiated with the current king of the Bei Kingdom. As long as they test the current strength of the Great Wei, they will retain corresponding autonomy while the werewolf clan pays tribute to the Bei Kingdom. The Bei Kingdom will fund some supplies every year, but the werewolf clan needs to serve the Bei Kingdom during wartime and special periods.
This is why the Nine-Skilled Tangerine Pie came here. For the development of his own ethnic group, he had to fight with the Great Wei, even if it was just a show, otherwise he would not get the conditions promised by the king of the Bei Kingdom.
"Khan, their number seems to be about 10,000." A general next to Jiuyi Tangpi said with a clairvoyance.
Jiuyi Tangpi took Qianliyan and looked carefully. Sure enough, she saw that there were only more than 10,000 soldiers from the Great Wei Dynasty, and the city gate behind her was closed, which made his melancholy mood improve again. If he fought for 100,000 and 10,000, isn’t this a sure win?
But not long after, Jiuzhi Tangpi became angry again, because ten thousand people came out of the other party, which clearly looked down on his 100,000 cavalry.
Jiuzhi Tang Pi is such a sentimental person. If it weren't for Yu Yin of his father, he wouldn't be able to sit in the position of Khan at all. Even now, he wouldn't be completely firm. Thanks to the many powerful generals and counselors around him, these people were all those who had received the kindness of his father, so they were willing to help Jiuzhi Tang Pi wholeheartedly.
"Rodney, you will rush over to destroy them." Jiuyi Tangpi waved his hand and ordered.
"Khan, three miles ahead is the range of the opponent's bows and arrows and crossbows." Rodney said. If he rushed up like this, he would be shot as a target. Nine-type tangerine peel would not fight at all.
"Don't I know? The opponent has only 10,000 cavalry, and I'll give you 50,000. One rush is enough to kill them. At that time, the opponent will shoot at most one round. You can just retreat in time and there will be no big loss." Jiuyi Tangpi said with a slightly angrily face.
"This" Rodney was speechless. It was not like this! But Jiuyi Tangpi was a Khan, and he could not disobey the military order, so he could only do it.
"Khan, no." Several strategists beside Jiuyi Tangpi also advised.
"The other party is only 10,000 cavalrymen. Are you all afraid?" Jiuyi Chenpi shouted angrily.
Several strategists looked at each other, shook their heads and retreated. In the end, the 50,000 cavalry rushed forward under Rodney's leadership.
As soon as Rodney led 50,000 cavalry to rush forward, Liu Tianzhao took 10,000 cavalry to turn around and run back.
Seeing this scene, Jiuyi Tangpi laughed wildly, "Wei Army, that's it!"
Chapter completed!
