Chapter 1134: What is the battle
For a long time, the boundary between Wei and Hu was bounded by Yan Mountain, except for Cao Cao, who led his army to defeat Wuhuan Shan Yu and Badun at White Wolf Mountain, the Wei army rarely crossed Yan Mountain and entered the grassland to fight against the Hu people.
Therefore, this gives the Xianbei people an illusion, that is, no matter how they invade Youzhou and plunder, they do not have to worry that the Wei army will go out of the fortress to retaliate, and the scope of activities of the Wei army is always limited to Lu Longsai.
Of course, this is related to the strategy adopted by the Wei State in Youzhou, the grassland occupied by the Xianbei people is extremely vast, and it is often measured in thousands of miles, if you want to fight in this kind of area, you don't have to simply consider the number of troops, the most important thing is to consider the logistics supply.
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conquered the Xiongnu, he could have concentrated the manpower, material and financial resources of the whole country and made full preparations for several years, so he dared to send troops outside the fortress and seal the wolf.
And in the Three Kingdoms period, the main opponents of Wei were Wu and Shu, Wei in the southeast defense line and northwest defense line, have invested heavy troops, the country's limited forces concentrated here, as for the Hu people in the north of Youzhou, not the previous Wei emperors did not think about going to the conquest, but the reason for suffering from national strength can only be to use strategic defense means, passively to meet the Xianbei Rao attack.
At most, Wei sent troops to fight a dozen Goguryeo, which was slightly inferior in strength, and for the powerful Xianbei people, Wei had always only adopted assassination and division methods, and the previous Kebineng, who dominated the grassland, was assassinated by Wang Xiong, the assassin of Youzhou at that time.
It's not that Wei doesn't want to remove this Hu enemy who has always threatened the security of the north, but there is really no such strength, although Wei has cavalry, but the combat effectiveness of the cavalry is still not comparable to that of the Xianbei people, and once Xianbei is attacked, the long supply line will undoubtedly become a nightmare for the Wei army.
Therefore, before making full preparations for the attack, it was impossible for the Wei army to easily cross the Lulongsai and cross the Yanshan Mountain Range.
Wuqiu Jian has been in charge of Youzhou for many years, and the Xianbei people are frightened when they hear about it, and they are also very afraid of Wuqiu Jian's outstanding achievements.
But in fact, Wu Qiu Jian did not dare to easily counterattack the invading enemy, not that Wu Qiu Jian could not defeat him, but once he entered the grassland, the armaments, grain and grass, materials, and supplies he needed would be a literary number, and it was obviously unbearable to rely on the strength of Youzhou alone.
Therefore, Wu Qiu Jian was able to exalt his might in Liaodong and defeated Goguryeo twice, but he had nothing to do against the Xianbei people in the north, so he could only stick to the fortress passes such as Lulongsai, and adopt a defense-based strategy to keep the enemy out of the country.
However, the strategy adopted by Wuqiujian is also relatively effective, for more than ten years, the Xianbei people have rarely been able to break through the defense line of Yanshan, and they have always been in awe of Wuqiujian.
After the death of Wuqiu Jian this time, the Xianbei people thought that their opportunity to enter the fortress had come, so they would enter the country with large troops, especially the Yuwen Department, which played the role of the vanguard, and when the other tribes were still gathering troops, Yuwen Mohuai first led the troops into Liaoxi, wanting to grab this first achievement.
As a result, Zhizhi Yuwen Mohuai was defeated by the Wei army, retreated to Lu Longsai and was trapped by it, and almost threw his life in Youzhou, but fortunately, it was Duan Ri Lu who sent troops to rescue, so that Yuwen Mo Huai escaped and left Lu Longsai.
However, all the Xianbei people, including Yuwen Mohuai, felt that after the battle of Lulongsai, the war between Xian and Wei came to an end, and the Wei army recovered Lulongsai, and the battle was over, and it was almost impossible for the Wei army to raise troops out of the fortress.
Because the battle between the Wei army and Xianbei Rao this time was just an unprepared encounter, and it was beyond the expectations of both sides to fight to this extent, and the Wei army was not fully prepared, how could it enter the grassland and fight an unprepared battle?
So after leaving Lu Longsai, Yuwen Mohuai seemed to have taken a reassuring pill, and withdrew his troops in a down-to-earth manner.
In fact, when the Wei army withdrew from Lu Longsai, Yuwen Mohuai was still very worried, for fear of falling into the trap of the Wei army, until after leaving Yanshan, the Wei army never showed up again, Yuwen Mohuai put his heart back in his stomach and left Yanshan, which means returning to the vast prairie, here, is Yuwen Mohuai's most proud battlefield, no one can defeat him.
Therefore, Yuwen Mohuai threw the pursuers of the Wei army out of the clouds, and instead planned with Duan Rilu to attack the Murong Department.
Now attacking the Murong Department is the top priority, Yuwen Mohuai naturally does not need to explore the movements of the Wei army, but instead mobilizes his troops and goes all out to attack the Murong Department.
After winning a great victory over the Murong Ministry, Yuwen Mo Huai suddenly had some ominous premonitions, and felt that it was not safe to stay in Fan City, so he instructed Mo Ke Xie and the others to speed up the progress of the cleanup, and strive to complete it within three days, and leave Fan City as soon as possible.
But seeing the last one, the evacuation of the Yuwen Department was imminent, but he suddenly received the news of the Wei cavalry attack.
Yuwen Mohuai was immediately a little confused, isn't it that the Wei army has been guarding Lulongsai and other passes of Yanshan for more than ten years, and has never stepped into the grassland for half a step, why is it suddenly sending troops now, what is going on?
If you really know that the Wei army is going to send troops, how can Yuwen Mohuai and the Murong Department engage in cannibalism, according to the territory where the tribes are located, the Murong Department is the furthest south, and Lu Longsai is in contact, once the Wei army attacks, the Murong Department is the first to bear the brunt, with the Murong Department in front of the block, the Yuwen Department can sit back and relax, why does Yuwen Mohuai need to do this to make the relatives and enemies happy, cannibalism, and clear a passage for the Wei army to go north.
In this way, the Yuwen Department is equivalent to losing a barrier, causing the Wei army to drive straight in, and their old nest, Daling River, is also afraid of being threatened by the Wei army.
At this moment, Yuwen Mohuai couldn't help but feel a little secretly remorseful, he started too early, and before he could find out the true movements of the Wei army, he boldly launched an attack on the Murong Army, although he desperately killed the Murong Ministry, but his own army also paid a bad price, the Yuwen Army, which was already seriously reduced, suffered even more casualties after this battle.
What's more, the days of conquest and marching have put the Yuwen army in an extremely tired state, and the people are sleepy and tired, so they can't get time to rest at all, and the Wei cavalry is menacing and sharp, and its strong combat effectiveness is not something that the Yuwen army can resist at all, Yuwen Mohuai really doesn't know how to fight in this situation?
