Chapter 401: Road Encounter

"This ......"

Zhang Fei was completely asked, and Liu Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was deflated, this was to make this kid sort out some crookedness, so he could only be rude, and said: "The purpose of the war, to put it bluntly, interests, throughout the ages, big wars and small wars are inseparable from these two words, just take our battle plan of raiding the Karasuma people, what is our real purpose, is to drive the Karasuma people to the territory of Xianbei, and let the Karasuma people pull the hind legs of the Xianbei people to ensure the stability of our Han border for a few years, so say, a qiē war, All have their ultimate strategic purpose, if the final result of a war is that we lose, but we achieve our expected strategic goal, then the war can also be said to be our victory, but if we win in the war and lose in the strategy, then even if we win, it is also a failure.

Therefore, if you want to truly become an outsider who controls the chessboard, you must first know how to look at the overall situation and measure a war in terms of the overall situation.

So in this battle, winning is not the key, whether we can drive the Karasuma people to the territory of Xianbei is the most important thing, can you understand the key to this now?

Everyone understood Liu Lan's words, but everyone also seemed to understand whether they understood or not, only Guan Yu and Xu Atai were thoughtful, and after a while, they bowed down to Liu Lan and said, "Thank you Sima for your teachings, you will benefit a lot in the end." ”

"No need to be polite." Liu Lan smiled and said, "You all go back and prepare, you will leave for Karasuma early tomorrow morning." ”

When Gongsun Chan asked Liu Lan about the time of his arrival at White Wolf Mountain, Liu Lan's answer was that it was expected to be one month, which can be said to be a turtle speed. But why did Gongsun Chan agree? Because Gongsun Fan had already told Gongsun Chan about this route in advance, because it was a double reed from the beginning. Although Liu Lan guessed it, he didn't guess it right, Gongsun Fan had already known about it and was not in the dark.

Gongsun Chan inspected the route of the marching army before arriving in Lulongsai. So he knew the danger of this road, and when he asked Liu Lan the time, Liu Lan replied that it was exactly one month, which made him convinced that Liu Lan had also investigated the field and knew the dangers of the road.

You must know that this road from Lulongsai to White Wolf Mountain, even if it is a detour, the whole journey is only 400 kilometers, if it is in the plains and wilderness, the infantry can march more than 120 kilometers in a day and night. What's more, it is cavalry, these 400 kilometers are three days, two nights, or more than three days and three nights, and it can reach White Wolf Mountain in less than four days.

However, after Gongsun Zhan's field investigation, he found that there were 500 miles of mountain roads in the planned route, and the road conditions were not just described as dangerous? If it's an infantry, people can still pass guò lightly, but for cavalry, it's not so easy for war horses to figure out guò, and if the other Karasuma people don't have horses, they will also look for death.

Therefore, the 3,000 cavalry led by Liu Lan and Gongsun Fan had to open roads and pave roads in these 500 miles of dangerous places, cutting mountains and valleys, so that the speed of the march was delayed indefinitely. The days of marching like this while opening the road lasted for nearly fifteen days, and when they arrived at Pinggang, it was the sixteenth day of departure from Lulong. During the sixteen-day march, Liu Lan first entered the upper valley of the Luanhe River, and after fifteen days of opening the road in this difficult area, he arrived in Pinggang, and at this time Liu Lan's headquarters was still more than 100 kilometers away from Liucheng.

The next trip of Liu Lan needs to cross the eastern Xianbei pastureland. Enter the mountains on the border of the Eastern Han Dynasty again, and then go straight to the White Wolf Mountain. If he marched in a hurry, Liu Lan expected it would take one to two days to arrive, and this speed was nearly ten days earlier than the full month he had promised Gongsun Zhan. The speed can almost be described as amazing.

"The ghost days are finally over, and this time I have to kill everything happily!" Zhang Fei's eyebrows danced and said, as if he wanted to fly to Liucheng immediately with his ribbed wings.

"I heard that the leaders of the various tribes of the Right Hokpei Karasuma are now gathered in Liucheng, are you still afraid that Yide will not be killed by then?" Guan Yu stroked his beard and smiled: "At that time, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to kill Yide!" ‘

Xu Atai said: "What Yun Chang said is true, it seems that the various departments of the Right Beiping Karasuma are plotting again. ”

"Conspiracy? As long as the Karasuma people dare to come, come and kill him, and kill him! Zhang Fei's eyes flashed with flames, and he said: "I want to kill those Torimaru people so that as soon as they hear the name of Zhang Yide, a Yanren from Meyan, they will turn around and run!" ”

"Yide's tone is very loud." Liu Lan smiled and said: "It's a good thing to have such thoughts, but there is one thing, it's best not to kill civilians if they don't resist, we are not Hu people, not as cruel as them." ”

"Sima is merciful, and I haven't seen Hu people kill one of our compatriots."

"What, listening to Shufa's tone, it means to be a Hu person?" Liu Lan joked with Gongsun Fandao.

"You don't have fun with me."

"If a dog bites a person, can a person bite again? These Hulu, it's good to kill them, if even civilians are killed, that's hatred, what a good young man, just so dead, distressed. Liu Lan thought of the tragic situation when guarding Lu Long again.

It's just that what Liu Lan and Gongsun Fan didn't expect was that the Karasuma people appeared, why did the Karasuma people appear here? Did you get the information? Or do you want to make a detour to avoid Lu Long's attack on other counties in Dahan, if it is the former, Liu Lan should evacuate as soon as possible, if it is the latter, then it must be warned in advance, but from another point of view, although the Karasuma people have survived this winter, life is not easy.

It was only about three or five minutes since Tanma reported to Karasuma's appearance, and now the Karasuma people had appeared on the horizon, and the long black line became thicker and thicker as time passed, and then the earth trembled, and the yellow sand that was rolled up moved faster and faster, like a sandstorm, obscuring the sky and the sun.

The arduous journey of many days finally reached Pinggang if you didn't fight and retreated, it was too much to say, Gongsun Fan and Liu Lan gave orders at the same time, and the troops instantly formed a formation, compared to the calmness of Liu Lan's department, some of the recruits under Gongsun Fan's account were a little restless, especially the noise like thunder in the distance, and the trembling sound of the ground under their feet made the hearts of these recruits thump.

The war swords of the cold weapon era are flesh and blood, and even he didn't notice it, his face has already turned pale, after all, this is the first battle formation they have experienced, and they quickly regained their composure under the appeasement of the veterans, these are all good seedlings, as long as they can survive this battle, they will completely transform into battlefield bravery.

The Karasuma cavalry was getting closer and closer, charging without any rules, but it was not without rules, because Liu Lan saw that when they charged, it seemed to follow the flying eagle banner carried in the middle.

That is the chief general of their Karasuma cavalry, and there is a high probability that it is the right Beiping Karasuma Lord Wuyan himself, the last time he let him run away, this time he said that he couldn't let go of anything, Liu Lan's heart began to beat violently......

The Battle of Hanhu began to unfold with the charge of the Han cavalry

The Karasuma chieftain, Uda, raised his saber and ran wildly, while behind him the Karasuma cavalry 10,000 cavalry followed closely under his flying eagle banner, and the Karasuma knight roared, like a bloodthirsty demon, sweeping towards the Han army like a torrent.

The charge of 10,000 cavalry is so spectacular, like the tide of Qiantang, wrapped in the power of breaking a qiē obstacle, rushing towards the Han army, but the huge Han army cavalry array is like a giant from hell, although the number is slightly smaller, but in front of the Han army with the power of crushing a qiē, the Karasuma people are as small as ants, as long as the Han army is willing, every foot can make the sky collapse and the earth crack, let the sea roll, and let the waves crash on the shore.

The scenery passed, the wind pierced the ears, as if the earth was trembling, and the Karasuma people who came to the impact soon found that many Han cavalry had not fought and trembled with heart palpitations, which made the charging Uda burst with confidence, he believed that it would not take a moment for him to form a formation to destroy the Han army, such a thought spread in his heart, and soon infected others, everyone looked at the eyes of the Han army, and scorching white smoke came out.

"Kill all the Han army, and then go all the way south, robbing all the goods and women of the southerners!" Uda roared, and raised his saber forward. Wuda's voice can't be compared with Zhang Fei, naturally it is difficult to spread throughout the whole army, but this does not prevent his shouts from spreading rapidly, with one person, ten people, hundreds of people shouting loudly, soon killing all the Han army, robbing the goods of the Nannan people and the shouts of women spread all over the wilderness.

'Kill all the Han army! ‘

Tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, like earth-shattering thunder, making it difficult to even breathe, except for a few new cavalry, all the Han army was unmoved by the charge of the Karasuma people, they were the elite of the elite, and the number of battles with the Xianbei Karasuma people, the proud record of winning and undefeated made them not take these Karasuma people in their eyes.

Although unmoved, they still quietly tightened their bows and arrows in their hands, waiting for the Karasuma people who swept in like a tide, as the Karasuma people got closer and closer, the bows and arrows in the hands of the cavalry were already ready to go, waiting for Gongsun Fan's order, and in the anxious waiting, a flag was waved down, and the cavalry, including the dragoon knights, did not hesitate, and shot towards the galloping Karasuma people.

The 3,000 arrows were so spectacular that they could not be seen on television that many of the recruits were stunned by the sight of the screams of the Karasuma people that brought him back to reality.

The gap between the Karasuma people and the Han army is not in the plain zhì of the soldiers, they grew up on horseback, and they can be said to be all soldiers, just like the Mongolian cavalry of later generations, the ability of individual soldiers is by no means comparable to the Han army, but the gap between the Karasuma people and the Han army is lagging behind in weapons and equipment, even the main general only wears a leather coat, not to mention ordinary knights.

Their bows and arrows had a short range, far from being comparable to the Han army's bows and arrows, let alone a dragoon army with a sandalwood bow, so before the Karasuma people entered the effective range of their bows and arrows, the first wave of arrows from the Han army shot the Karasuma people who rushed to the front and dismounted.
