Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 599
What happened on the Great Wall would naturally not reach Gongsun Xu's side, not to mention Gongsun Xu, even Gao Shun, who was relatively advanced, could not get the news that the Great Wall was broken in time, so Yanmen Pass really has to deal with it alone now The onslaught of the Xianbei army broke out.

However, this kind of cold weather is not only a severe test for the city defenders, but also for those who forcibly attack the city. Anyway, the city defenders still have the advantage of the city. Even if it snows, they can still Just in time to hide behind the battlements for a while, but those besiegers are much more pitiful.

The weather is cold, and Kazakhstan's breath can freeze. Many people try to avoid exposing their skin. These Xianbei cavalry covered their heads one by one. open.

The bowstring is broken, either it cannot be pulled or it will break when it is pulled, and the scimitars and spears of the Xianbei cavalry can't swing it. There is no way, it is too cold, even if the Xianbei cavalry built a large number of ladders and other siege Equipment, but these things cannot withstand the ravages of cold winter.

As long as the defenders pour water from the city wall, the siege equipment will freeze in a short time, and those siege soldiers will find it very difficult to climb up. If they are not careful, they will fall on their feet. He was trampled to death by his own people.

The Great Wall is easy to break, and Yanmen Pass is difficult to attack. Xianbei cavalry gathered at Yanmen Pass in large numbers. I can only look at Yanmen Pass and sigh.

In the depths of the grassland, Gongsun Xu commanded thousands of cavalry to practice martial arts in the snow. After this period of practice, these grassland warriors were reborn in Gongsun Xu's hands. This is not to say how strong Gongsun Xu's military training skills are, but He is good at correcting the shortcomings of these prairie warriors and tapping their potential.

In fact, Gongsun Xu's luck is not bad. The grassland warriors he recruited are not bad. All of them are veterans who have been on the battlefield and experienced wars. It's just that they lack training and don't know how to cooperate. In addition, there is no qualified commander who can command them, so their first performance is so poor.

Now, Gongsun Xu has at least let them understand what is meant by orders and prohibitions, and what is meant by absolute obedience to orders. The individual combat ability of these warriors has indeed improved a lot, but what they have gained the most is knowing how to use the power of the group to defeat them on the battlefield. enemy.

"The elite soldiers have been formed, my lord, we now have nearly [-] elites, which is enough to fight back to the northern border." Gongsun Ran looked at the warriors in the snow and said, "My lord is really a man of gods. In just over a month, we have let these When a person becomes an elite, he will be inferior to himself in the end."

"What kind of skill is this?" Gongsun Xu shook his head and said, "It can only be said that the basics of these sergeants are not bad, and we have food and food in our hands, and they have nothing, so I was able to fight in such a short period of time. If you train them well, you can too.

Besides, now they are just training a little bit, and they are not considered elite for the time being. At least compared with the Huben army, these people are still too far behind. The 4000 people in my hand may be able to resist Ordinary prairie cavalry has 9000 people, but facing my Huben army, hehe, it's not worth mentioning.

Forgot what I said earlier?Have you forgotten how the elite of the Northern Xinjiang Army achieved success?Is it because of such hard training one by one?Hehe, this is far from enough, Aran, don't you understand the secret of our Northern Border Army becoming an elite? "

"Of course the last general understands." Gongsun Ran said excitedly: "My lord has said long ago that the real elites are all fought on the battlefield. It is useless to practice well. No matter what kind of elites, Must go through the tempering of the flames of war, could it be that the lord means? To lead them to fight?
However, the tribes within a radius of [-] miles have a good relationship with us. Many tribes even came to join us. Those leaders are quite interesting. They not only handed in a certain amount of livestock, but also sent warriors to be dispatched by the lord. The lord should not Will start with them, won't it?My lord means, is there anyone who is hostile to us? "

"The enemy has come a long time ago, but the other tribes haven't found it yet." Gongsun Xu looked at the southern sky and asked, "Don't you think it's strange when so many tribes were attacked and forced to migrate here earlier?"

"The final general really thinks there is something wrong with it." Gongsun Ran nodded and said, "But the final general still can't figure out the key point here. Please let me know."

"It's like hunting gazelle." Gongsun Xu said with a smile: "When we hunt gazelle, what we fear most is that gazelle will scatter and run away, so we don't have enough manpower to catch the sheep.

Even if we try our best to kill a lot of gazelles, they will never exceed the total number of sheep in the flock. What we like to do most is to drive the flock together, preferably to the valleys or cliffs. , the flock has nowhere to go, we can take them all.

At the same time, once there are more ferocious rams in the flock, we will shoot or isolate these gazelles first, so that the remaining gazelles can be driven away and then rounded up.This hunting method seems simple, but it is actually a strategy for marching and fighting.

Look at those tribes that were forced to migrate. The biggest similarity between them is that they have all been attacked, and the enemy who attacked them is very powerful. All the warriors of their tribes stepped forward and were still defeated. Keep them in your sights. "

"So, so they were all driven here." Gongsun Ran was shocked: "This place is close to the Black Forest, and it is the only place suitable for camping within a radius of [-] miles. In addition, the weather is bad and the road is blocked by heavy snow. If they were forced to relocate, not only the tribe's livestock would be lost by more than half, but even the lives of the tribe's people would be in danger.

Moreover, these tribes who were forced to migrate have all experienced disastrous defeats, and they have no morale in a short period of time to continue fighting the enemy. Even if they unitedly have 2 horses, the enemy can defeat them as long as they send out [-].

If the morale of the expelled tribes is low and the morale of the expelled tribes is low, then the opponent even occupies the people and peace. My lord, is this opponent so powerful?Are they all planned? "

"Hehe, it shouldn't be so scary." Gongsun Xu smiled and said: "I guess, there is more of a coincidence, if there are such talents in the enemy army, then we really have to be careful.

At least, the enemy army did not guess that there would be an accident like ours. Their idea should be to use the cold winter to continue to consume the morale and supplies of these tribes. Take all these tribes.

But we exist, the morale of these expelled tribes is indeed low, and many tribes are almost powerless to resist, even if they still have most of the warriors in the tribe.That's why these tribes came to join us and wanted us to stand up for them. That's why they were willing to hand over their livestock and obey the management. "

"So that's the case, hehe, it seems that the last general is still too young to understand this point." Gongsun Ran said with a wry smile: "In this way, the enemy will launch an attack soon, after all, it has been snowing for so long , if they don't make a move, they won't have Tianshi."

"That's right, it should be time to do it." Gongsun Xu nodded and said: "After all, what they want is to plunder the spoils. Whether it is livestock or women, they all need to live. If the livestock in these driven tribes are killed What's the point of sending troops when the slaughter is over and the women are starving to death?"

These days I have sent people to inquire about some news, alas, luck is really not very good, there will be wars wherever I go, is this my life?Hehe, Aran, you are in charge of the training tonight. I have called other tribal leaders for a meeting, and there must be a result tonight. "

"The last general obeys." Gongsun Ran bowed his hands and saluted. His lord finally handed over these elites to him. Even if it was temporary, it was enough to show that his ability was recognized by the lord.Gongsun Ran is now even more determined to fight to the next level in the next battle.

In the evening, Gongsun Xu cleared out a camp in front of the valley, and then hosted a banquet here for the chiefs of all the nearby tribes.Now Gongsun Xu has a lot of face, not only because of the rumors that Gongsun Xu is a god, but also because Gongsun Xu now has nearly [-] troops in his hands.

Everyone was chatting in full swing in the big tent, Gongsun Xu was slowly roasting mutton in the main seat, Dian Wei was sitting on Gongsun Xu's left, and now, everyone just thought that Dian Wei regarded Gongsun Xu as a distinguished guest, few people Some clues can be seen from this kind of seating.

After a while, a soldier directly opened the curtain and walked to Gongsun Xu's ear, said a few words, and at the same time handed Gongsun Xu a sheepskin full of words. Gongsun Xu nodded and asked him to retreat.

The voices of the people in the tent became smaller and smaller, because Gongsun Xu's expression changed when he looked at the sheepskin, and after a while, Gongsun Xu finally said: "Everyone, there is some bad news, I don't know if you want to hear it or not.

Another tribe has migrated towards us. There are more than 5000 people in their tribe, and there is a shortage of nearly 20 cattle, sheep and horses. In such a world of ice and snow, they are probably in great need now. A campsite, I think we'll have new neighbors next. "

Everyone still didn't understand the meaning of Gongsun's continued words, but when they heard that the other party's tribe had so many cattle, sheep and horses, they all became excited, which meant that they could trade with this tribe next. With such weather and insufficient food and grass, a wealthy tribe finally came, and they could finally exchange some food.

Seeing everyone's smiling faces, Gongsun Xu just shook his head. It seems that everyone really didn't understand what he said.
