Chapter 564: The Alliance is imminent


The scorching sun shone down, the earth was filled with smoke and dust, and the shouts of killing were accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves. \ The banner is only unfurled when the knight is galloping, and when it is erected, it looks awkward.

That's because there was no wind, which caused the cavalry on both sides to trample on the surface, but the smoke and dust could not be dispersed.

Ran Min stood high on the body of a nest car, holding binoculars in both hands to observe the battle in the distance, his face covered with beads of sweat, and the ears of his cheeks and the sides of his nose were sweating all the way down.

According to tradition, dog days are unimaginably hot, and even staying in the shade can be unbearable in the heat, let alone in the open.

Autumn has arrived, Ran Min led the army to attack Yanmen County, there was no major war at first, Yanmen's Shiqi Zhao army very neatly abandoned the garrison, ran to the Tuoba Dynasty army side of the confluence.

The battle on the side of Yanmen County was to wait for the Han army to approach Mayi, and before the war, Tuoba Shi Yijian also sent an envoy to ask the Han army not to approach the border of Tuoba Daiguo on the grounds that there was nothing to do before the Han Dynasty, saying that it would be a misunderstanding that would start the war once it happened.

Ran Min didn't have any nonsense at all, he killed the envoy of Tuoba Daiguo, and asked the envoy's entourage to bring a message to Tuoba Shi Yijian: Don't be blind and pretend to talk about those who don't, if you want to fight, you will fight, and if you don't fight, you will leave.

What did Tuoba Shi Yijian look like when he got Ran Min's reply, Ran Min's side was not clear, and the fact that the situation presented was that the two sides were at war.

The battle between the Han army and the Tuoba Dynasty army was cavalry from the beginning, and the terrain around Mayi was flat, making it a good cavalry battlefield.

The cavalry of both sides came and went after the battle, fighting on the vast plains, but in general, the forces put into the battle by the two sides were not very large, and the largest battle was the Han army of 8,000 against the 20,000 Tuoba Dynasty army and the Shiqi Zhao army, and it was usually thousands against thousands.

"The representative army is quite capable of fighting."

Ran Min put down the binoculars in his hand, pulled his collar, and said, "Some guys in the hands of the army are the same as our standard weapons. ” The Han Kingdom and the Tuoba Dynasty maintained a honeymoon period of nearly three years, during which Liu Yan exchanged weapons for a lot of horses, cattle, sheep and some leather, cow tendons and other things in the trade in order to let the Tuoba Dynasty drag Murong Yanguo, and the weapons traded in the past should have a quantity of 20,000 or 30,000 The body of the nest car slowly lowered in the crunch of the machinery, and Ran Min took a bucket of water from the soldiers as soon as he got out of the car, and after taking off the helmet, he "lala" was drenched, and shouted: "Happy" The dog season is really hot, not only hot but also stuffy.

This is the reason why although the Han Dynasty went to war, the scale of the battle could not be fought.

To tell the truth, the weather is too hot even if you don't move, you can be greasy and sticky like boiling oil, a little activity is sweating, strenuous exercise will cause a state of lack of oxygen, it is really not a suitable time to fight.

The sound of the horn was blown "woo-woo", and the Tuoba Dai army, which was unusually disorganized, began to distance itself from the Han army, and they once again took the initiative to retreat, and the Han army gave up after only chasing a short distance.

"Looking for the robe" Liu Rui untied the string and took off the helmet, panting heavily, because he felt that the oxygen was not enough, the volume of his speech was not only hoarse but also not loud: "The injured will be carried down for treatment first, and the body will be loaded and transported back." ” The fighting stopped, but the dust and smoke had not yet dispersed, and it was difficult to see clearly what was going on in the distance in the yellow diffusance at a glance.

There was a "gurgling" pouring down almost half of the water bladder, Liu Rui finally felt better, he raised his eyes to look around, there were busy robes around, and he listened carefully and did not hear the movement of the large group of cavalry.

In the battle of cold weapons, in fact, many soldiers will not be killed in the fight, but are severely injured so that the body functions temporarily lose control, which is the so-called transient shock, if the unconscious soldiers do not receive timely treatment, they basically bleed and die when they are unconscious.

In every battle of the Han army, there is naturally no way to retreat, and after victory, the battlefield will inevitably be cleaned, and the most important thing is to check any Han soldiers, and those who still have a tone will be quickly transported back to the camp for treatment.

Liu Rui had already dismounted and was strolling, and when he saw the robe lying on the ground after walking a few steps, he would also walk over to check his pulse, and when he found the wounded, he immediately called for manpower, and saw that there were many dead war horses on the battlefield, so he shouted: "The corpse of the war horse will be brought back in the end." ” On the battlefield after the battle, in addition to some soldiers being busy, some people in gray robes were also active.

Those who wore gray robes had a bamboo basket on their backs, which contained a lot of knick-knacks, such as bandages, needles, threads, water, etc., and would stitch up and bandage their wounds when they encountered their wounded soldiers.

It is suturing and bandaging, and the medical equipment is sterilized by boiling water in advance, and as for alcohol disinfection or something, there is no such thing for the time being, all because Liu Yan does not know uh, winemaking, and distillation technology.

He is just an ordinary person, living in modern times and being able to enjoy some scientific and technological achievements, but how to get it has not been particularly studied.

Being able to use it and how to produce it are two different things.

However, he is a king, and he will not let the people below keep experimenting, it is already in progress.

If you have to have a title, those in gray robes can be called medics, but the Han army is an honorific layman.

The origin of these people is the medical arms in Liu Yan's system, and the military will carry out special training in the back, and the medical soldiers in the system and the group of people trained in the back will definitely appear on the battlefield after one battle after another.

Cleaning up the battlefield can save your own wounds, in fact, counting the results of the battle is also a convenience, which can more intuitively calculate the extent of losses on both sides.

On the battlefield after the battle, some black spots appeared on the low mountain not far away, and they were Tuoba Gu and Tuoba Kuojun, who had arrived at the front line in person.

"Three thousand men went to war, and only a little more than a thousand were withdrawn."

Tuoba is dressed with a bare chest, and the belly looks smooth and oily, making the muscles look very strong.

He squinted his eyes and looked into the distance: "I can't tell you how many results have been achieved." ” Tuoba Gu took out a long object from his bosom, carefully untied the outer layer of silk, picked up a monocular inside, and approached his eyes to observe.

This monocular was asked by Tuoba Gu for Liu Yan when he went to Linzi last time, Liu Yan didn't actually give it at first, and then he relied on his sister to be Liu Yan's concubine to stalk him, and it cost a thousand war horses to get this thing.

Tuoba Daiguo and the whole country are the monoculars in his hand, and Tuoba Shi Yijian hinted several times that he didn't give it.

When Tuoba Gu was supervising the north in the north, he relied on the monocular in his hand several times to detect the enemy first, to be able to make arrangements first, and to make judgments before the enemy approached, which was very clear that it was a "sharp weapon of the country."

The Hu people, with the exception of a very small number of noble people who have clothes made of cloth, wear animal fur all year round, and generally sheepskin.

They stay in the grassland where the temperature difference between day and night is extremely large and the temperature is relatively low, so there is no problem in dressing like this, and it becomes a trouble to wear it when they go south out of the grassland.

Historically, many Hu people had the ability to invade and occupy the south, but those Hu people did not carry out the occupation, and they did not occupy it because they were worried about counterattacking, and in fact, not being able to adapt to the climate was also a big reason.

The Hu people who were able to go south and occupy the territory of the Central Plains Dynasty, except for the weakening of the Central Plains during the Wuhu Rebellion, were all ethnic groups that had mastered production technology, and their productivity was based on the captivity of the Han people.

"The king is already planning to withdraw his troops temporarily."

Tuoba put away the monoculars lovingly, carefully put them back in his arms again, and said, "King Yan has sent an invitation to the kings to join the alliance, and the location is at the old site of Wolf Juxu Mountain. ” There is no Wolf Juxu Mountain now, and after the name of that place has been changed repeatedly, it is now called Wolf Mountain, which belongs to the territory of the Rouran Tribal Alliance.

"All countries want to unite to fight against the Han, but they are extremely jealous of each other, and it is not appropriate to go to any country."

Tuoba Kuojun nodded: "It is really very suitable to choose the territory of those barbarians of Rouran to form an alliance." ” The Hu people are now also divided into ranks, and the Hu people who have occupied the Central Plains are recognized as superior, and then the farther away from the Central Plains, the more they are considered to be dirt buns who have never seen the world, and there is a phenomenon of mutual contempt between them.

Of course, the once superior Qiang people, they have been weakened by the continuous blows of the Han army, and the momentum can be said to be sunset, but the tiger will still get the respect they deserve, if the Qiang people themselves do not re-correct their status, the various Hu forces will actually be happy to beat the water dogs.

Now it is recognized that the strongest Hu people are Murong Yan Kingdom, Tuoba Dynasty is second-class, such as Fu Hong, some of them can't lose, and Zhang's Liangguo is not counted by the Hu people for comparison, the only thing they agree with is that no matter how strong the Rouran Tribal Alliance is, it is also a soil bun, and the other soil bun is the Ding Ling ethnic group of East Gaoche and West Gaoche.

Wolf Mountain is a very suitable location for the alliance, not only because the location is within the territory of the Rouran Tribal Alliance, but also because of the strength of the Rouran Tribal Alliance and the Tuoba Dynasty, Murong Yan Kingdom, Zhang's Liang Kingdom, and Fu Hong, the remnants of the Rouran tribe have no grudges.

There is another one, the location of Wolf Mountain is very convenient, it is located in the north of the Tuoba Dynasty, the northwest of the Murong Yan Kingdom, and the northeast of the Liang Kingdom of the Zhang Family, no one needs to pass through each other's places, they can directly enter the sphere of influence of the Rouran Tribal Alliance from their own territory, and they don't have to worry about being plotted when passing through the other party's territory.

"The Huns still refuse to participate in the alliance" Tuoba frowned and then sneered: "Those fools, after waiting for the alliance, they should be taken first." ” "Those bastards, naively thought that the big man would let them go" Tuoba Yujun was sneering: "If the bloodline does not exist, will it really produce more imbeciles?"

Tuoba Gu said that the Xiongnu tribes are in the Hetao area, which is currently divided into seven relatively large tribes, and when they did not show a certain defeat trend in Shijiao Zhao, they sent troops to accept Shijiao's command, and after waiting for Dingxiang to be besieged, they recalled their own people.

Liu Yuan's young daughter surrendered to the Han State, and after Liu's surrender, she sent people to the Xiongnu tribes, and she advised the Xiongnu tribes not to be enemies of the Han State as a continuation of Liu Yuan's bloodline, saying that they should learn from the former Han and Southern Xiongnu models to coexist.

Of course, Liu Yan did not make any promises to the Liu clan or the Xiongnu tribes, but the center of the Han State was happy to let the Xiongnu tribes be alone, and even began to provoke the Xiongnu tribes to act against the remaining Qian.

The Xiongnu tribes inhabiting the Hetao area, their situation is actually a bit complicated, there are not many real Huns, more are some mixed blood, and the Hu people of all ethnic groups call them "Tiefu".

Tiefu has many meanings in the Altaic language family, at first referring to the Xiongnu paternal line, but the mother was a Xianbei person, and so on.

Later, the Central Plains people married the Hu people's women, and the Hu people called the Central Plains people also called Tiefu, so there was a layer of interpretation of "Hu people's son-in-law".

At present, four of the seven major tribes of the Xiongnu are led by the son-in-law of the Hu people, and there are quite a lot of Hu Han and Miao descendants in these four tribes.

Generally speaking, the Xiongnu as a nation has actually existed in name only at this stage, and even they are at a loss whether they are still a part of the Xiongnu, if it is said to be attributed to the "Han", there is no so-called Han nationality now, the Han nationality is not "established" until Yang Jian replaces the Yuwen Zhou State, and then the Han nationality is considered an ethnic group, and they are all summarized by "Central Plains", "Zhuxia", "Chinese", and "Xia people".

Liu Yuan's young daughter Liu is very knowledgeable about current affairs, and she is trying her best to "link" her identity with Liu Yan, it is impossible to talk about the Xiongnu, and it is more reliable to talk about the ancestry of the Han Dynasty.

In addition to some names, she is also doing what she can do, including fighting for the Xiongnu tribes in Hetao, which can be regarded as a small favor for the Han Kingdom.

Shi Qi Zhao still has a ruling system in Shuozhou, Xie Ai led the army to chase and kill Shi Xuan, the Han army to Shuozhou was only 40,000, and the Xiongnu tribes jumped out and couldn't get along with Shi Qi Zhao, more or less Xie Ai got some help.

"In less than a month, close to 20,000 people were folded in" Tuoba Yujun's face was gloomy: "Shi Bin's incompetent guy couldn't break through the encirclement and come to rendezvous." ” "Shi Bin can't get out."

Tuoba Gu actually didn't know what Shi Bin's situation was now, he was talking about a fact: "We went south in a hurry, and we didn't receive Shi Bin at the first time, Ran Min had already arrived with the army."

Now is far from the time for a decisive battle between Dadai and Dahan. ” Wars between countries, unless a conflict breaks out very suddenly, should be to accumulate strength, and make what one thinks is the safest preparation before the war, and no one can say when a decisive battle will break out.

"Let's meet first, and see what charters the kings can come up with."

Tuoba Gu was already pulling the reins and turning the horse's head: "For the great dai, facing the big man alone, it is better to turn the spearhead and go north to attack the barbarians of Rouran." ” Tuoba Weijun was very reluctant to admit it, but he knew that what his uncle said was right, just using the strength of Tuoba Daiguo to single-handedly challenge the Han State was really no different from seeking his own death
