Not all of the more than 30,000 grassland people who have been fenced off are young and strong.

According to the characteristics of the grassland "army", unless it is absolutely elite, it is impossible for all of them to be young and strong, mixed with many old and young women and children, but don't think that these old and weak women and children are all pulling their hind legs.

The old and weak women and children of the nomads, their ferocity is not lower than that of the young and strong, just because the physical disadvantage does not have more combat power than the young and strong.

Under normal circumstances, the nomads invaded the farming people and plundered the villages, and a small number of young and strong people took most of the old and weak women and children, and the villagers who died at the hands of the old and weak women and children of the steppe people were no less than those who died in the hands of the young and strong people of the steppe.

Dou'a's Junjishan Lieutenant Department went to surrender, and the grassland people who fell into despair and thought they were going to die actually let out cheers, as if what they wanted to do was not to surrender, but to accept liberation with honor.

The grassland people do not reject surrender, believing that serving the strong has always been the common characteristic of the grassland people, the disputes between the tribes on the grassland have never stopped, and it is their habit to continue to live with the tribes who surrender to the victorious side after defeat, and even feel happy because they have become the strong side.

With the decline of the Xiongnu, the Han people were revered as the strongest in the known world, and it became a glorious thing for the steppe people to submit to the Central Plains Dynasty.

It was about two or three hundred years ago, to be selected to go to the Central Plains Dynasty to become a soldier, which became the greatest desire of the grassland warriors, and by the way, the tribes on the grassland also felt that it was normal to submit to the Central Plains Dynasty, and it was not normal to oppose the Central Plains Dynasty.

It's just that the historical process was interrupted when it reached Sima Jin's room, and Zhu Xia's spine was also interrupted with the "Clothed Southern Crossing".

The entry of the nomadic tribes into the Central Plains temporarily made the steppe people forget the horror of the Han people, and only a few old people still remember this "tradition" of succumbing to the Central Plains Dynasty.

After the Han Empire decided to sweep away the northern frontier, Li Tan led a standing army, together with the grassland border army and the Junjishan Captain's Department, with a total of 37,000 troops.

The war began with the Junji Mountain Captain's Department being the first to enter the battlefield, and they were lightly equipped with the Rouran King Tent of the Qionglong Ridge, and Yu Jiulu Bati did not expect the Han army of the Junji Mountain to suddenly attack, resulting in the Qionglong Ridge being defenseless at all.

Under the First World War, Yu Jiulu Bati was the first to flee without knowing the military situation, and the Rouran people in Qionglong Ridge were also panicked and did not put up effective resistance, and the Junjishan Captain Department killed more than 7,000 enemies and captured more than 40,000 prisoners, and joined the border army to the south.

It was almost the time when Yu Jiulu Bati called on the various tribes of Rouran to gather troops, and Li Tan led a standing army to break into the territory of the Rouran tribal alliance.

Li Tan did not concentrate the entire standing army to fight, but divided into several troops and scattered to attack the tribes of the Rouran.

The Rouran King Tent in the Qionglong Ridge was still attacked by the Han army without any preparation, and the rest of the Rouran tribe was even more unprepared.

In just one and a half months, the Han army swept away the various tribes of Rouran in Monan, and won a great victory of killing more than 30,000 enemies and capturing 170,000 prisoners of war.

As the price of victory, the Han army only suffered less than 1,000 casualties, which was a great victory in the true sense.

Yu Jiulu Bati gathered a part of the Rouran cavalry and headed east to the territory of Donggaoche, and at the same time constantly sent people to the Rouran tribe in Mobei to gather troops and horses.

Around the time when Liu Yan ordered the firearms troops to go to northern Xinjiang to participate in the war, Rouran formally formed an alliance with Donggaoche.

When the war in Monan was in full swing, Lü Tai, the general of the Han Empire's expedition to the east, also launched an offensive against the remnants of Tuoba and Murong.

As in the past, the remnants of the two Xianbei forces only put up a small resistance and immediately retreated to the area further north, and the shogunate of the eastern shogun only achieved the result of killing more than 2,000 enemies and capturing more than 10,000 enemies.

"This enemy army blocked in the river bay is most of the grassland people that Mo Nan can find." Xi Su was not familiar with Zhong Xing, but only knew that Zhong Xing was a highly qualified old man in the Han army: "Among them, there are Rouran people, Eile people, and Qigu people...... and the tribes that come are very mixed. ”

Zhong Xing is the commander of this firearms unit, and the combined number of riflemen and artillery is about 7,000, but the official rank is Zhonglang General.

Seven thousand people were in the county and county military system, and they died as a military marquis as a commander, and Yu Standing Army was a captain.

The establishment of only 7,000 people, but it is accompanied by a lieutenant general, which has already shown the special nature of the firearms unit, and everyone can see how much attention is paid to it.

"The Celestial and the Covenant are a branch of the Ding Ling people, right?" At first, Zhong Xing was still curious about how there was no high-chariot army since he called the coalition army: "How many of them came?" ”

"There are 30,000 troops in the west high, and there are only 8,000 troops in the east." Xi Su had to introduce the combat experience before the firearms unit came, and after expounding, he said with a smile: "Xigao only lost two or three thousand people, and then fled with his tail between his legs. ”

Xi Su said so much, it was nothing more than to let Zhong Xing understand that they were actually able to annihilate the enemy army, and it took so much effort and a lot of setbacks to give the firearms troops a perfect battlefield, I hope Zhong Xing will not forget this.

The Han Empire now has a formed firearms unit, and no one else becomes the commander of this firearms unit, but Zhong Xing was selected, which shows that Zhong Xing is at least a figure in the heart of the emperor.

There is also competition within the army, and in many cases it is even very fierce, and when it is necessary to compete vigorously, whether or not there is an impression on the side of the Son of Heaven, and how deep the impression is, is definitely a key matter.

Zhong Xing became the commander of the first firearms unit, and the military will change its outfits one after another, so as the first person to command the actual combat of the firearms unit, how blind should he not see that it is a rising military star?

Although the average age of the generals in the first echelon is only 40 years old, which seems to be the most golden age, don't forget that people are over 20, because of the relationship between learning and experience, there will be basically no major changes, and it may be difficult to get familiar with the new tactics and apply them flexibly.

When the army has new weapons and starts a new method of warfare, the commander of the first firearms unit is destined to soar immediately, and who will give up if such a person owes favors?

"There is no enemy in a single battle within a radius of three hundred miles." Xi Su walked to the bottom of the map of mountains and rivers, and pointed to the southwest position of Beihai (Lake Baikal, now known as the Bacheni Great Water by the Hu people): "Rouran Khan Yu Jiulu Bati and the leader of the Eastern Gaoche, Ajili Pick, have a combined army of about 80,000 troops stationed here. ”

Donggaoche only has a leader and no Shan Yu or Khan, the leader is the white-skinned Ding Ling people, but the tribe is not all Ding Ling people, the largest number is actually the Le people, Ding Ling people are the second most populous tribes, and there are some tribes such as the Qigu people, the Wu people, the Luo people, etc.

The Qigu, Wu and Luo people are regarded as Zahu, and the fact that they can be handed down to the world means that their tribe is rising, or any country will not call out their names separately, but will only be summarized by Zahu.

Zhong Xing did not appear domineering because he was valued, on the contrary, he knew very well what kind of position he should have. He decided to bring only his ears, and whatever arrangement Li Tan had, he would follow the order.

"General Zhengdong led his army to chase this vast forest and lost the traces of the remnants of the two Xianbei tribes." Xi Su's hand swept over a river system marked as Wanshui: "There is news that an unknown group of cavalry has appeared here, and they are also approaching the North Sea. ”

The area of Monan is now completely owned by the Han Empire, and bridgeheads have been established in the area known as Mobei, but only a small number of garrison forts have been built along the main rivers in the northeast.

It's not that the Han Empire doesn't pay attention to the northeast region of Mobei, it's that it's in the icy and snowy season all the year round, and the ecology there is a wooded environment between mountains and rivers.

"It's a forest that spans more than 800 miles and is shown to be elongated." Li Tan spoke out for the first time: "Your Majesty named it Xing'anling, which is divided into two parts, the west is the Great Xing'an Ridge, and the east is the Little Xing'an Ridge. ”

The Han Empire knew the part of the Xiaoxing'an Mountains best, because it had already sent the Tuntian Corps to the southwest of the Xiaoxing'an Mountains, and later migrated 560,000 slaves from the three countries of the peninsula to reclaim the famine, intending to build a grain-producing area on the black soil of that Qianli Plain.

The remnants of Tuoba and Murong have been relegated to the Xing'anling area for seven or eight years, and the two remnants together should have had more than 400,000 people at the beginning, but after only a year, there were less than 250,000 left.

The two Xianbei remnants will lose so many troops in just one year, not all because of the continuous pursuit of the Han army, but because the local climate is indeed very harsh, and there are countless beasts in the forest.

The surviving Xianbei people are the most tenacious group of people, they have survived the early life and death period, can be regarded as crossing the mountains and mountains to the plain behind the Xing'an Mountains, but did not usher in the imagined good days, is planted into the four seasons of the year in winter, spring and most of the autumn are covered with ice and snow frozen soil.

In the past few years, 250,000 combat and non-combat attrition have been repeatedly killed and wounded, waiting for this time the Han Empire will launch another large-scale offensive, and the two Xianbei remnants will flee without thinking about it, in addition to really not being able to defeat the Han army, it also has a lot to do with their remaining less than 100,000 people.

"The Tuoba Department has decided to surrender to the Great Han." Li Tan said the news that no one would be surprised, and the most important thing was the following: "They will act as an internal response after our army launches a new offensive." ”

If you want to say that after the rise of the Han people again, which of the Hus has the most comfortable life, then it is undoubtedly Tuoba Xianbei.

Of course, it's not because there is a Tuoba show among Liu Yan's four concubines, and it doesn't all depend on Liu Yan's view that Tuoba Xianbei will be independent Sinicization, but the above factors plus Tuoba Xianbei sees the situation clearly and chooses to cooperate, Tuoba Xianbei is also regarded as a model, and the placement is the best treatment.

Li Tan said so much, and there is only one meaning he wants to express, that is, there will be no accidents at all in this war in the northern Xinjiang, and it must be the final victory of the Han Empire.

Victory is inevitable, and it is undecided who will benefit from what credit.

The war in northern Xinjiang may be the last war that can be called a big war in the Han Empire in the past ten years, and if the nomadic alliances in northern Xinjiang are resolved, not only will there be no threat to the northern frontier of the Han Empire, but it should be said that there will no longer be a threat around the Han Empire, and the importance of the army will inevitably show a downward trend.

The last feast in ten years, those who do not have a marquis and want to be a marquis, do not want to wait another ten years to seize the opportunity.

Those who have been sealed also want to make their resumes look better.

In a war that must be won, they not only need to win, but also fight well in order to give a satisfactory answer to the whole country.

"Our department will meet with the general department of Zhengdong at the Crocodile River (Sejingge River)." Xi Su's hand refers to a large river system that has its source in the North Sea, but is thousands of miles to the south, and it extends several branches, and the meeting place is one hundred and fifty miles south of the steppe coalition army: "What needs to be done is to force the enemy army to fight a decisive battle before the snow season comes, and to destroy the enemy army in the northeast at once and sweep away their tribes." Then, wave your army westward and prepare to invade Xigaoche! ”

said it very clearly, no one had any doubts, and Li Tan asked irrelevant people to retreat.

"Together." Li Tan left Zhong Xing alone, ordered someone to prepare a wedding banquet, and after sitting separately, he said: "Commanding the firearms army, how do you feel?" ”

"And thank you to the general for creating the opportunity." Zhong Xing raised his glass and invited him to drink: "The general is free, and the general will drink at will!" ”

The war here has ended, there are no enemy troops within a radius of three hundred miles, and after the victory of the army, it is natural that they need to be rewarded, not only the generals can drink bitterly, but the soldiers can also drink in batches, and there is no prohibition on alcohol.

"If you have any feelings...... Zhong Xing poured himself another full drink, and said with emotion: "The times have changed too much, and no matter how brave a warrior is, he can't resist a projectile." ”

Warriors can also wield their weapons to knock off the arrows shot by archers, but if they are asked to cut bullets, it is definitely impossible to do it, and it is really difficult to mix in the army by relying on pure martial arts.

"Yongzeng has already sighed." When Li Tan was in Chang'an, he didn't hear Ran Min sad in the Spring and Autumn Period, and said with a smile: "Watching the array of volleys today, there is an unstoppable power. Ben repeatedly guessed that if the enemy's horses were not frightened, would there be a way to deal with the riflemen's line formation? ”

"Yes." Zhong Xing replied without thinking about it: "The riflemen are organized in four horizontal rows and columns, and it is best to have a horse rejection and a fence, and the effect is slightly worse. ”

Li Tan imagined it in his mind, and came to the conclusion that it was probably a hollow phalanx in the shape of the word "mouth", and he didn't believe that relying on this formation alone could effectively resist the cavalry.

The army armed with cold weapons, against the cavalry is lined up in a dense phalanx, there are examples of success and failure, but usually passive beating.

"A large number of riflemen form a hollow phalanx, and each hollow phalanx is within a firing distance from each other, forming a full hollow phalanx......" Zhong Xing said in a large series of terms, and later concluded: "The enemy cavalry rushed in, and all sides were shot, even if they could break through a few hollow phalanxes, they would still be defeated." ”

Li Tan understood in an instant, isn't it the scattered arrow array that Zhuxia is best at? It's just that the weapons in the hands of the soldiers have become muskets.
