Chapter 130 Donghu Raiders
Early summer has arrived, and the coldness of the north wind has just faded away, but it is brought to the dullness by bursts of downpours.
"Tian Aiqing, how is the progress of my front-line army now?" Sitting in a small pavilion in the corridor of the imperial palace, the heavy rain fell outside the pavilion, and the weather was a bit stuffy. He took a sip from the teacup in his hand to warm up his body.
"Your Majesty, the battle ahead looks pretty good. According to the latest news, the three armies of our army, Zhang Liao, Yu Jin, and Zhao Yun, have already attacked the royal court of the Donghu people. And the two generals Huang Zhong and Guan Yu , and ordered them to lead 20,000 people to cut the entire barbarians in half from the middle, so that they could not look at the head and tail." He introduced the two most important information in one breath, and then took a sip of the wine in the cup. Tea, moistened the throat, and continued.
"And the other Fifth Route Army separated and swept away to the tribes of the Lakers, trying to cripple and defeat them before they could gather enough troops."
"So, our army only needs to complete these few strategies, then the barbarians will be divided into several small pieces, and their strength can no longer be concentrated, so they will no longer pose a great threat to our army?" Zhong Yu Some excitement.
"Yes! After such a battle, our plan is inseparable. The Donghu tribe, which was originally strong and cohesive, will be completely fragmented. From then on, it will no longer pose any major threat to us. It's just that It's a bit troublesome to clean up!" Speaking of this, Tian Feng still felt a little bit emotional, a strong and powerful century will not die like this, and it reminded him of the previous Han Dynasty.
Just a month ago, Zhong Yu divided his 100,000 Northern Expeditionary Army into four parts and handed them over to ten generals to lead them separately. Give them their own goals and let them wipe out these Donghu people.
"All of this is inevitable. Even if the Donghu people are not destroyed by themselves, they will also be destroyed by other grassland peoples. Just like the Huns, this wolf-like race is rising, and it will definitely become the place where all the Central Plains people live. The scourge of the empire." After finishing speaking, he thought of the arrogance of the Huns who directly bullied the Han Dynasty for sixty years when they rose up, and the pressure of the Han Dynasty.
"Yeah! Why don't I destroy them, they will also come to destroy me, the two cannot coexist after all, everything is for the hegemony of the empire!" The more Tian Feng said, the more determined he became.
...
When the ten armies of Yuguo continued to penetrate all over Donghu's territory and completely dismembered his original complete land.
The dull Donghu Royal Court also received this terrible news when Zhao Yun's army was heading towards his old base camp.
King Donghu, who was extremely angry, felt being humiliated and teased for a while, and at the same time was shrouded in deep fear and panic.
Afraid of becoming a prisoner, Donghu King, whose life and death cannot be controlled by him, kept calling all the tribal warriors in the territory under his control, and gathered in the royal court, intending to repel the attack of Zhao Yun and others.
Although Yuguo's army tried their best to divide the territories of those Donghu people. But after all, the time is short and the number of people is small, it is difficult to control such a large territory.
Therefore, many tribes gathered together to resist these sudden enemy troops, and under the convening of the leaders of each big tribe, they gathered thousands or hundreds of small troops to continuously harass them.
As the leader of the entire Donghu people, King Donghu gathered a cavalry of 30,000 people. Among them, 10,000 are his carefully prepared standing army, which is extremely powerful. If the system divides the strength of each world, each of these 10,000 people is a first-order existence.
As for the other 20,000, they are resources from various surrounding small tribes, with varying strengths. For the elite soldiers of Yuguo who have been trained for a long time and have experienced many battles, they are indeed vulnerable.
The two armies fought at a distance of 100 miles from the royal court. Based on the principle of fighting the battlefield outside and never extending into his own territory, causing more damage to himself, King Donghu took the initiative to fight and attack without waiting for Zhao Yun and others to arrive.
The two armies had their first confrontation on an endless grassland with a wide view.
Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and others are all led by the aces of the Yu Kingdom, the imperial guards directly under Zhong Yu, the Yulin Army. The internal strength that each of these troops have practiced has already established a certain foundation in the past half a year.
In line with the fact that the army is honed in the flames of war, Zhong Yu reluctantly sent them to the battlefield. I want to use one fierce battle after another to hone them into powerful fighters one after another.
At the beginning of the battle, these armies encountered the most intense and cruel war since they marched.
Wave after wave of arrows rained from his own side, pouring towards the Donghu cavalry. For Zhong Yu, who is short of manpower, the life of every soldier is very important. Therefore, he did not hesitate to take out all the military material reserves now.
The nearly tens of millions of arrows originally prepared in the Three Kingdoms World were consumed by one war after another in the Western Main World, and now there are only a million arrows left.
At this moment, he entrusted all of them to the two parts of the army, Cao Cao and Zhao Yun, to give them more and stronger long-range strikes and reduce the consumption of those soldiers.
The 30,000 troops of Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Yu Jin also received 200,000 arrows. At this moment, as if he didn't want money, he desperately poured out to these barbarians, for fear that time would be too late and he would not be able to shoot.
And these barbarians are also powerful. Knowing that they are likely to be annexed by others, or even exterminated, they desperately resist.
With the leadership of the 10,000 soldiers directly under King Donghu, as an arrow, they went straight to Zhao Yun's side.
Looking from afar at this moment, one could see the Donghu cavalry rushing in like a tide, following wave after wave of arrow rain, clearing out one piece after another, but then more people filled up.
Finally, when the Donghu people in front of them approached 150 steps in front of their camp. Zhao Yun and others also moved, and one after another cavalrymen behind them slowly increased their speed. He also rushed forward violently, intending to have such a head-on confrontation.
The numbers of the two sides are equal, and the arms are both cavalry. The only difference is that the cavalry on Zhao Yun's side are all second-tier.
So just started a frontal battle, rushed through a cross, and after the two armies separated again. Donghu people went through several waves of arrow rain, and there were only 10,000 of his people in his early 20,000s.
On Zhao Yun's side, there were originally 30,000 cavalry, but he was missing by more than 3,000 people, and generally speaking, there was still no loss at all.
With such a huge gap in the battle loss ratio, the surviving Donghu people were greatly depressed. Many people were terrified, their faces turned pale, and their hands trembled slightly.
However, before they had any reaction, Zhao Yun and others, who had assembled the army again and were about to attack again, led their cavalry to attack again.
This is destined to be a day full of blood.
