Early summer has arrived, and the coldness of the north wind has just faded away, but the downpours have brought bursts of depression.
"Tian Aiqing, how is the progress of our frontline troops now?" Sitting in a small pavilion in the corridor of the palace, heavy rain fell outside the pavilion, and the weather was a bit damp. He picked up the tea cup in his hand and took a sip to warm himself.
"Your Majesty, the battle ahead looks pretty good at the moment. Our three armies, Zhang Liao, Yu Jin, and Zhao Yun, according to the latest news, have already attacked the royal court of the Donghu people. And the two generals Huang Zhong and Guan Yu , also followed the order and led their 20,000 troops to cut the entire Hu people in two from the middle, so that the head and tail could not be taken care of." He introduced the two most important pieces of information in one breath, and then took a sip of the wine in the cup. Tea, moistened his throat, and continued.
"The other five route armies separated and swept away the tribes of the Lakers, trying to cripple and defeat them before they could gather enough strength."
"So, our army only needs to complete these strategies, then the barbarians will be divided into several small groups, their strength will no longer be concentrated, and they will no longer be a big 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 united, will be completely fragmented. From now on, it will no longer pose any big threat to us. It's just that It will be a bit troublesome to clean up!" Speaking of this, Tian Feng still felt a little emotional. A country that was strong for hundreds of years would not die like this, and it reminded him of the Han Dynasty before.
Just a month ago, Zhong Yu divided his 100,000 Northern Expeditionary Army into four parts and gave them to ten generals to lead separately. Assign targets to each of them and let them wipe out these Donghu people.
"All this is inevitable. Even if the Donghu people are not wiped out by their own hands, they will be wiped out by other grassland peoples. Just like the Xiongnu, this race full of wolf nature is rising and will definitely become the leader of all the Central Plains people in the future. The disaster of the empire." After saying that, I felt a little emotional when I thought about the rise of the Huns, who directly bullied the Han Dynasty for sixty years and suppressed the Han Dynasty to the point of breathlessness.
"Yes! If I don't destroy them, they will come to destroy me. After all, the two cannot coexist. Everything is for the hegemony of the empire!" The more Tian Feng said, the more determined he became.
…
When the ten armies of Yuguo kept inserting themselves into various parts of Donghu's territory, completely dismembering his originally intact land.
The dull Donghu Palace also received this terrible news when Zhao Yun and his army were heading towards his base camp.
The extremely angry King Donghu felt that he was being humiliated and teased, and at the same time he was enveloped in deep fear and panic.
King Donghu, who was afraid of becoming a prisoner and whose life or death was not up to him, constantly summoned all the tribal warriors in his territory that were still under his control and gathered in the royal court, intending to repel the attack of Zhao Yun and others.
Although the imperial army tried its best to divide the territorial tribes of the Donghu people. But after all, time is short and the number of people is small, so it is difficult to control such a large territory.
Therefore, many tribes still gathered together to resist these sudden enemy armies, and under the call of the leaders of various large tribes, they gathered thousands or hundreds of small armies to continuously harass.
As the leader of the entire Donghu people, King Donghu gathered a cavalry of 30,000 people. Among them, 10,000 were his carefully prepared standing army, which was 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 were resources brought from various surrounding small tribes, and their strengths varied. For the elite soldiers of Yuguo who have been trained for a long time and experienced many battles, they are indeed vulnerable.
The two armies fought 100 miles away from the royal court. Based on the principle of fighting the battlefield to the outside and never extending into his own territory to cause more damage to himself, King Donghu took the initiative to fight without waiting for Zhao Yun and others to arrive.
The two armies had their first confrontation on an endless grassland with a wide field of vision.
Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and others led the Royal Guards, the Imperial Guards, who were the aces of the Yu Kingdom and directly subordinate to Zhong Yu. The internal skills that all these armies have been practicing have already established a certain foundation in nearly half a year.
In line with the fact that the army is tempered by blood in the flames of war, Zhong Yu reluctantly sent them to the battlefield. I want to use one brutal war after another to hone them into powerful warriors one after another.
At the beginning of the battle, these troops encountered the most fierce and cruel war since their march.
Burst after burst of arrow rain poured out from his own side towards the Donghu cavalry. For Zhong Yu, who is currently short of manpower, the life of every soldier is important. Therefore, he did not hesitate to take out all the current military supplies reserves.
The nearly ten million arrows originally prepared in the Three Kingdoms world were consumed by war after war in the Western Main World, and now only one million arrows are left.
At this moment, he entrusted them all to the two armies of Cao Cao and Zhao Yun to carry out more and stronger long-range strikes for them and reduce the consumption of those soldiers.
The 30,000 troops of Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Yu Jin were also allocated 200,000 arrows. At this moment, it was as if he didn't need money, and he was pouring all his money into these barbarians, for fear that time would be too slow and he wouldn't be able to shoot out.
And these barbarians are also powerful. Knowing that they are likely to be annexed or even exterminated, they still fight tooth and nail to resist.
The 10,000 soldiers directly under King Donghu were used as arrows to penetrate Zhao Yun's side.
Looking from a distance at this moment, you can see the Donghu cavalry coming like a tide. With the waves of arrow rain, one area after another was cleared, but more people soon came up to make up for it.
Finally, the Donghu people in front of them were approaching 150 steps in front of their own camp. Zhao Yun and others also moved, and the cavalry behind them slowly increased their speed one after another. He also rushed forward violently, planning to have a head-on confrontation.
The numbers of both sides are equal, and the same types of troops are cavalry. The only difference is that the cavalry on Zhao Yun's side are all second-level. Although they are weak in the second-level, they are still much stronger than the opponent who only has 10,000 first-level cavalry.
So the head-on battle just started, and after a confrontation, the two armies separated again. After several waves of arrows, the Donghu people originally had more than 20,000 people, but only 10,000 were left.
As for Zhao Yun's original 30,000 cavalry, there were only more than 3,000 less than him. Generally speaking, there was still no visible loss at all.
With such a huge gap in battle damage ratio, the surviving Donghu people were greatly depressed. Many of them were frightened, their faces turned pale, and their hands trembled slightly.
However, before they could react, Zhao Yun and others, who had once again organized their troops and prepared to attack again, led their cavalry to attack again.
This is destined to be a day full of blood.
