"What a tough opponent."

Cao Cao witnessed the Iron Eagle scout cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty on guard on the opposite side, and it was not until the leader of Tuoba Xianbei left that the Iron Eagle scouts scattered along the Yellow River gradually withdrew.

Cao Cao gathered the cavalry, joined up with the arriving Yue Fei, Zhang Liao, and Yang Ye, and described to them the battle against the Tuoba Xianbei cavalry.

The two legions exchange information and count the results of the battle.

They swept across the Ordos Plateau, forced Tuoba Xianbei to Helan Mountain, beheaded tens of thousands in total, and captured 100,000 Xianbei people.

Among the cavalry fighting, Yue Fei's Bingzhou army did not suffer any losses, while the Shensu army suffered heavy losses.

The Divine Speed Legion was the only legion to encounter the main force of the Tuoba Xianbei cavalry, and was defeated by the main force of the Tuoba Xianbei cavalry before Cao Cao arrived.

Otherwise, if Cao Cao's Tiger and Leopard Legion joined forces with the Shensu Legion, it would be a battle with the Tuoba Xianbei cavalry.

This time swept across the Ordos Plateau, Cao Cao, Yue Fei and others also obtained enough information.

First, the leader of the Tuoba Xianbei tribe is Tuoba Tao, whose ability may be comparable to Cao Cao's.

Second, Tuoba Xianbei had at least one strategist in his strategy, sacrificing the 100,000 population of the Budugen tribe to attract Yue Fei's Bingzhou army.

Third, among the Tuoba Xianbei cavalry, in addition to the Iron Eagle Scout, there is also a tiger-striped cavalry, which is the elite of Tuoba Xianbei.

In any civilization and tribe, the high-level mounted heavy cavalry is a decisive force in the outcome of a war, the elite of the elite.

"If we attack Helan Mountain, then our troops will enter Liangzhou, maybe we will have to engage with the heavy troops of the Guanzhong Army stationed in Yinzhou City, Zhou Bo's army will cut off our rear road, Chang'an garrison will go north, Tuoba Xianbei will counterattack, we will be attacked from four directions."

Yue Fei thought about it for a while and decided to withdraw his troops.

Fighting from Bingzhou to Liangzhou has been a bit presumptuous. In Xihe County in the rear, although Zhou Bo's army attacked Yue Fei, Zhang Liao, Yang Ye and others, and pursued Tuoba Xianbei with one eye and turned a blind eye, if the cavalry of Chutian's forces attacked Liangzhou, it would be equivalent to stabbing a hornet's nest, and Lao Qin would definitely not be able to sit still.

"The population controlled by Tuoba Xianbei is only 300,000, and we plundered its population of 100,000, and only 200,000 people are left, and the soldiers and horses are only 30,000 or 40,000 at most."

Xu You made a simple calculation, even if Tuoba Xianbei's mobilization rate is very high, but he can't send the old, young, women and children to fight on horseback, judging from the number of Tuoba Xianbei's population, the threat is not great.

Guo Jia said: "The Southern Xiongnu grazing in the Ordos Plateau can allow them to monitor their every move on Helan Mountain, once Tuoba Xianbei dares to take a step out of Helan Mountain, sweep it again, one can plunder its population, and the other can be used for military training." ”

Guo Jia directly regarded the Tuoba Xianbei tribe as the object of military training.

If Tuoba Xianbei is not developed, it is indeed an experience package.

"Tuoba Tao ......"

Cao Cao looked in the direction of Helan Mountain, he had heard of this name for the first time, Tuoba Xianbei's hole cards were almost exposed in this battle to sweep the Ordos Plateau, so there was no need for Tuoba Tao to remain incognito.

Cao Cao realized that this was a formidable opponent, and that the other party was faintly similar to Cao Cao.

"Budugen should have been killed in battle, and most of the 20,000 cavalry left behind were killed, captured, and fled......"

The Xianbei cavalry generals who fought with Yue Fei and Zhang Liao were embarrassed and fled back with only a few hundred cavalry, and later the defeated Xianbei cavalry that came to rely on them was only 2,000 cavalry.

"It's not your fault, it's just that our population is too small, and we have to break the game. Er Zhurong, during this time, you temporarily train soldiers and horses, and we will sacrifice cattle, sheep, and beauties to the Chang'an Imperial Court every year, and try to reduce your posture as much as possible. ”

Tuoba Tao did not dare to fight Yue Fei head-on, otherwise he would be copied by Cao Cao, and he would have been wiped out on the Ordos Plateau.

The Tuoba Xianbei tribe was temporarily stationed in the area of Helan Mountain, and Lao Qin sent officials to monitor it to prevent Tuoba Xianbei from becoming bigger.

Tuoba Xianbei, like Li Yuanhao, the king of Western Xia, is a double-edged sword, even Lao Qin is hesitating how to control Tuoba Xianbei.

……

In Xia Cheng, Chu Tian was thinking about something that had nothing to do with the Tuoba Xianbei tribe - recruiting the Knights of the Round Table and other Western knight classes for King Arthuria, and recruiting the French Protectorate for Joan of Arc.

The Chutian forces lacked Western troops, and a lot of Western soldiers were consumed in the last national war, and the last national prisoners of war were not only Western troops, but also troops from West Asia, Dongying and other places.

If you want to recruit troops for Joan of Arc and Artoria, then you still need to recruit troops from the Western Continent to Xia City, and then use Xia Cheng's barracks to transfer them to special classes.

The Knights of the Round Table and other Western knight classes belong to the Western aristocratic class, and it is difficult to kidnap a group of knights to Summer City, but that doesn't mean it's impossible.

After some Western knights were defeated or bankrupt, as long as the price paid by Chu Tian was enough, then he could lure a group of Western knights to come over and work for him.

The bankrupt peasants of France, then it would be better to recruit, at least cheaper than the knightly aristocracy of the West.

Chutian entrusted Catherine to recruit a group of soldiers from the west to come to Xia City, and then transfer jobs.

Among the servant army of Chutian's forces, there was a group of low-ranking infantry from France, who were forcibly transferred by Chutian to the French Protectorate Army and became Joan of Arc's guard.

He sent men to England to try to select suitable soldiers for the Knights of the Round Table, and then turned around in every possible way.

Digging up a number of important sources of troops under the nose of the Lord of England may cause the Lord of England to become angry, but Chu Tian did not care so much in order to increase his strength.

Chutian could even buy English prisoners from the enemies of England......

"The two armies of Yue Fei and Cao Cao swept across the Ordos Plateau, basically expelled Tuoba Xianbei, and captured 100,000 Xianbei people, but Tuoba Xianbei still had 200,000 people flee to Helan Mountain. Tuoba Tao ......"

A legendary Xianbei hero appeared in Chutian's Bingzhou and was forcibly expelled to Beidi County, Liangzhou.

Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty Tuoba Tao is much stronger than Li Yuanhao, the king of Western Xia, and his sweeping across the north is more powerful than Cao Cao.

However, Tuoba Tao's family background is stronger than Cao Cao's, and the difficulty of starting from Cao Cao is different, so it is not easy to compare.

"Tuoba Xianbei only has a population of 300,000, and 100,000 were captured by Yang Ye, leaving 200,000.

Chu Tian was a little dissatisfied with Lao Qin's gentle policy.

In his opinion, Tuoba Xianbei stayed, and sooner or later it will be a trouble.

At present, it is not the time for a conflict with the old Qin forces, and there is still a tiger-eyed Temujin in the north, waiting for the Han Empire to fight infighting.

Temujin encountered the peak of the Persian Empire and the Arab Empire in Western Asia, and his troops were frustrated, so he returned to Mobei to recuperate, and temporarily handed over the Persian Empire to the Ilkhanate to deal with.

Temujin experienced many major battles, lost soldiers and horses, and began to act conservatively and on the defensive.

The princes in the south of the Han Empire were not idle during this time, suppressing rebellions such as Shanyue, Jingman, and Nanban, and basically freed up their hands to participate in the expedition to Mobei.

A scuffle broke out in Yizhou, and Yang Shilang and Liu Bei fought, saying that Tang had a conflict with Yang Shilang again, and Yang Shilang had to be distracted to appease Tang.

Liu An and Liu Yan were in the same camp, intending to lead Zhang Dao to attack Liu Bei, and Liu Bei enlisted the Yizhou family to contain Liu Yan and attack Liu An.

In short, Yizhou is in chaos, and Chutian is rarely able to pay attention to it, and the whip is beyond the reach of the whip.

In the melee in Yizhou, there will always be a winner.

This time, it should be the second expedition of the Han Empire to Mobei.

The last expedition to Mobei was an epic battle, but this time it was an expedition in the larger Overworld, and the difficulty was still above the expedition wheel.

Expedition to Luntai, there is still a Cheshi country that can be used as a springboard, but in Mobei, none of the teleportation arrays are controlled by the Han Empire, and all of them are controlled by Temujin.

Mobei is the basic plate of Temujin.

"Yangzhou Shepherd Tongque and Jiaozhou Shepherd King Defa promised to send troops to Mobei. As for the princes of Yizhou and Jingzhou, they are at loggerheads. ”

"Huo An and Xu Fengnian of the Western Regions Protectorate confronted and guarded against enemies from Central Asia, so they could not participate in the expedition, and their containment of Ogedai was equivalent to pinning down Temujin's reinforcements in disguise."

Chu Tian counted the princes who decided to participate in the expedition.

The expedition to Mobei was mainly composed of five princes: Chutian, Lao Qin, Mingguan, Tongque, and Wang Defa.

The number of princes in the last battle of Mobei was larger, and as the scale of the annexation war expanded, many of the princes disappeared.

In this expedition, the main force is estimated to be the three major northern princes with a large number of cavalry.

As for Tongque and Wang Defa in the south, there are actually quite a few elite legions, but they are just better at water warfare.

Among the three major princes in the north, the Jin and Liao states on the side of Mingguan do not seem to have been resolved.

The Liaodong Army of Mingguan was very important in the first battle of the expedition to Mobei.

According to the plan of the princes of the Han Empire, the expedition to Mobei could be divided into three routes, one way out of Liaodong Yuerhai, and the other two roads out of Monan Longcheng, and the troops were divided into two routes, sweeping Mobei, occupying the capital of the Mongol Empire, Hala and Lin, Mobei Longcheng, and then ruling Mobei and merging Mobei into the territory of the empire.

Chu Tian was recruiting and replenishing the soldiers and horses lost due to the expedition to the Western Regions, and Lao Qin's side had already wiped out the Western Xia Kingdom in addition to dealing with the Qiang tribe in Xiliang, so it was enough to free up enough troops.

Only Mingguan's forces are still being pinned.

"Wang Jian and Qin Ruishi's army have already gone to the battlefield in Liaodong, and it is estimated that with the strength of Mingguan, Liaodong should be pacified as soon as possible."

Mingguan did not ask him for reinforcements, and Chutian did not intervene in the Liaodong battlefield, and he did not specifically help Mingguan quell the rebellion.

With the joint efforts of Lao Qin and Mingguan, it is unlikely that it will be a problem to suppress the Liao State and the Jin State.

In Liaodong, Xuansu County, the combined forces of Wang Jian and Murong Ba have recovered this county, forcing the Liao forces to retreat to Fuyu.

Li Chenggui of Goryeo and Eulji Wende of Goguryeo contributed a lot in this battle, using a large number of servant troops to consume the main force of the Liao army, and Wang Jian and Murong Ba entered a decisive battle in one fell swoop to defeat Yelu Huge.

Yelu Abaoji had to go out in person, but still lost under the joint offensive of Wang Jian and Murong Ba.

The situation was even worse, because after Mingguan suppressed the Jin State, the detachment general Lan Yu led a team of cavalry to the south, attacking the Buyeo State from the north and the Liao State from the north and south.

The original momentum of the Liao State was suppressed and it was in danger of extinction.

"Retreat, lead the enemy to chase after him, and then kill his commander."

Xiao Xuan withdrew from Xuansu County.

The new lord of the Wuhuan tribe really stepped forward to pursue the Liao cavalry, and was ambushed by the Liao cavalry.

If it weren't for Murong Ba leading the cavalry of the Murong Xianbei tribe to come to the rescue in time and rescue Badun from the encirclement, maybe Bandun would have been killed.

Murong Ba's Xianbei cavalry confronted Yelu Huge's Khitan cavalry, and the two famous generals belonged to different camps.

Xiao Sui also rode a war horse, with a graceful demeanor, and a bow and arrows hanging from the saddle, and his strength may not be low.

"Murong Ba, you promised us to defect before the battle and occupy Liaodong City, why did you break your promise?"

Xiao Xuan's voice was crisp, and he took the initiative to question Murong Ba.

The prison army sent by the Liaodong Army to monitor Murong Ba heard that Xiao Xuan and Murong Ba were secretly conspiring and jointly plotting to take Liaodong City, and they couldn't help but change color.

If Murong Ba really defected, then Liaodong would be in danger.

Mingguan never let Murong Ba serve as the commander of the 200,000 vassal servant army, because he was on guard against Murong Ba.

Murong Ba just snorted coldly: "How can you succeed in a mere divisive plan?" I have never had any correspondence with you. ”

Xiao Xuan frowned, Murong Ba flatly denied that he had dealings with Liao, in the eyes of the prison army, it was more like Xiao Xuan's empty discord strategy, trying to get Mingguan to get rid of Murong Ba, who was brave and good at fighting.

"Military advisor, Murong Ba is fickle, he can't work with him, it's better to retreat, as long as our elite is there, we can make a comeback at any time."

Yelu Hugo was in awe of Xiao Xuan and asked him for instructions at the same time.

"Could it be that the Liao Kingdom is so short-lived, alas."

Xiao Sui sighed lightly, facing the offensive of the two Han Empire princes, the Liao State was not comfortable.

Wang Jian , Murong Ba , Lan Yu , Yao Guangxiao are not easy to mess with, Li Chenggui and Yizhi Wende also have their own records.

"Your Majesty has an order, summon all the generals to return to Fuyu Wangcheng!"

Before waiting for Xiao Xuan to make the final decision, Yelu Abaoji had already recalled them.

"See how Your Majesty decides."

Xiao Xuan was still extremely young at this time, and he was not the ruler of the Liao State, and Yelu Abaoji was the emperor.

The Liao army retreated like a tidal wave.

The leader of Wuhuan, who was besieged by the Liao army just now and almost died, said to Murong Ba: "The Liao soldiers have retreated, let's chase after them!" ”

Murong Ba was unmoved: "Xiao Xuan is more resourceful, and if he pursues rashly, he will only set up an ambush again, and he can't chase again." ”
