Caught in a protracted war, Wei Zeng has been gathering strength, and this time he went north to attack the Tutu people with a plan.
Wei Zeng has also found out the situation of the Zhantu people.
Asa, who unites the Zhantu people, is the target of his march.
The Ding brothers from Yaodong have always been eyeing them, and they have not been idle these years.
After Zhang Leng defeated Du Feng and occupied the southern part of Anyun, he also became a little restless, constantly causing friction on the Yanbei border.
In this attack on the Zhantu people, Wei Zeng could only fight quickly.
Even if he could not capture Asa, he still had to sweep across Mobei and destroy the foundation of the Zhantu people.
Guchayi led 10,000 cavalry and was cautious along the way.
After encountering the Zhantu people's horse team, he surveyed the terrain and determined that there was no ambush, so he led his army to pursue the Zhantu people.
The Zhantu people collapsed at the first touch, and were defeated by Gucha.
But this was just the vanguard of the Zhantu people.
Asa led a hundred thousand Zhantu rangers and soon besieged them from all directions.
As soon as Gucha felt the tremendous pressure, he asked Wei Zeng for help.
"How is the battle ahead?
What are the enemy's movements?"
Wei Zeng asked when he saw a cavalry returning.
"General, Commander Gu has already fought with Beihu and is now pursuing Beihu.
However, a large number of Beihu Rangers are coming in this direction.
Commander Gu is worried that he will be surrounded by Beihu, so he asked the general for support."
"Our main force is all infantry, and the enemy is all cavalry.
If we rush over to support like this, we will be restrained by the enemy.
If the enemy takes advantage of it and cuts off our army, it will be a dangerous situation.
I will end it at the front Form an army to fight Beihu.
You inform Cha Yi and ask him to find a way to lure the enemy over.
Beihu is no match for us in a head-on battle."
Wei Zeng thought for a moment and then ordered.
The cavalry received Wei Zeng's order and immediately reported to Gu Chayi without stopping.
As soon as Gucha received Wei Zeng's reply, he already understood Wei Zeng's plan, so he ordered the cavalry to fight and shoot, and retreat towards Wei Zeng's main army.
Asa backed away when he saw Gucha.
Without hesitation, he ordered tens of thousands of Zhantu Rangers to pursue him closely.
He himself followed with the main cavalry, ready to respond to the people in front at any time.
This time Wei Zeng's troops attacked Mobei in two groups.
All the way from Yanbei to the north, all the way from Yao to the east.
The troops going north were personally led by Wei Zeng, with a total strength of 80,000; the troops going west were led by Chaogui, with a total strength of 60,000.
Wei Zeng looked into the distance, and Gu Chayi's flag appeared on the horizon.
The dust was flying in the rear, and it was obvious that there were many pursuers coming.
Wei Zeng ordered the flag to be waved, and the crossbowmen came to the front of the formation.
After Gu Chayi's horse team entered the military formation, they fired arrows to block the Zhantu people who were chasing behind them.
Facing the large net woven by arrows, the Zhantu people did not dare to move forward and retreated to a safe area.
"You have also seen that the Mobei Flying Eagle has formed a large formation there and is waiting for us to come forward and die.
The Central Plains people's crossbows and heavy infantry are not something we can resist head-on.
But we will really be stupid.
Go ahead and die.
Tell the warriors to go around and shoot at the enemy's side.
Remember, keep your distance."

He said while looking at the large formation set up by Wei Zeng.
Under Asa's order, the Zhantu people divided into two groups and outflanked the two wings of Wei Zeng's army.
Tens of thousands of rangers were guerrillas with bows and arrows, trying to kill Wei Zeng's army; tens of thousands of others were close to the front of Wei Zeng's army, attracting the Yanbei army.
The army's crossbowmen fired, but these cavalry were very scattered and wandered left and right, greatly reducing the accuracy of the crossbows.
Asa personally led 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 elites without any action.
He was waiting for chaos in Wei Zeng's army, and then he would launch a fatal blow.
"The enemy is wasting time with us, just to consume our army's morale in this way.
The enemies are all cavalry.
If we can't keep calm and go to pursue them, we will definitely be led by the enemy.
When the time comes, It's dangerous.
For the current plan, we can only rely on Cha Yi's cavalry to break the current situation."
Wei Zeng said.
"The general is right.
In the past few years, the Tutu people were a piece of scattered sand.
If a hundred thousand troops were gathered together and did not attack immediately, they would fight independently.
This is also the reason why we were able to defeat the enemy head-on.
But now it is different.
The enemy We have united together and have enough time to spend with us.
If we cannot break this situation, we will indeed be consumed by Beihu.
Death.
For the current plan, the ancient commander can lead the cavalry to protect the flanks and intercept the attacking Zhantu people, and the archers and crossbowmen can advance with the infantry.
As long as our infantry is not exposed to the enemy's bows and arrows, they will not be killed.
There will be a rout if there are too many casualties; as long as we can get close to the enemy and rely on our strong bows, crossbows and heavy infantry, it is possible to defeat the enemy," Jiang Luqing analyzed.
"You're right, we can only do this.
It seems that this person named Asa is not simple either.
This time he may have some trouble in conquering Tutu.
But the final victory still belongs to us."
Wei Zeng is still confident road.
"That's natural.
As long as we can defeat the enemy in front of us, Beihu will only die.
Brother Yu has led the army to directly attack the rear of Beihu, and Beihu will soon have a fire in the backyard.
By then, this Asa will have three heads and six arms. , it is impossible to escape the fate of defeat," Jiang Luqing said.
Under Wei Zeng's order, Gu Chayi's cavalry was dispatched again to protect the flanks of the army and protect the infantry from harm.
The front row of crossbowmen covered the infantry as they advanced, forcing Asa's main army towards them.
Asa saw that Wei Zeng's army was advancing forward with its infantry guard on the inside.
He had no intention of engaging in a decisive battle with Wei Zeng, so he retreated and started guerrilla warfare.
Wei Zeng realized that continuing like this was not an option.
He could only think of ways to lure the enemy to attack, and then he could defeat the enemy in close combat.
"Stop the pursuit and retreat to the rear camp.
Let Cha Yi's cavalry gather to attack the enemy on the left and expose a gap on the right to make the enemy think that we have panicked."
Wei Zeng saw that after a long period of shooting, the Zhantu people were still There is no intention to launch a general attack.
Although the infantry of our own army is protected on the inside, if morale declines over time, the enemy will take advantage of it.
So Wei Zeng planned to deliberately expose a flaw to lure the enemy to attack, and then defeat the enemy in close combat.
In fact, Asa was already very anxious.
He originally thought that he would kill the enemy through guerrilla attacks, and then defeat Wei Zeng in one fell swoop when the enemy couldn't calm down.

However, the troops led by Wei Zeng were well-trained and were in order whether they were advancing or retreating.
The crossbowmen, infantry, and cavalry cooperated closely with each other, leaving Asa no chance to attack.
At this moment, the Yanbei army was slowly advancing towards Asa.
Starting to retreat, Gu Chayi's cavalry tried their best to block the Zhantu Rangers on the left, exposing the right wing of Yanbei's army.
Under the attack of the Tutu Rangers on the right wing, the Yanbei army was in chaos.
The originally tight military formation revealed a big gap.
"The enemy has retreated.
It seems that they can't hold on first.
Warriors, the time has come to defeat the enemy and kill Wei Zeng.
The time has come to wash away the shame on our heads.
Charge forward and hold back the enemy's crossbowmen; The others will follow me to attack the enemy's right wing.
As long as the enemy's formation is torn apart, victory will belong to us."
When Asa saw the flaw in Yanbei's army, his eyes lit up and he gave the order to attack.
"Haha, Beihu can't calm down anymore.
Very good, let them attack.
We are not afraid of them in close combat."
When Wei Zeng saw Asa leading the army to attack, he asked the infantry to form a dense formation and march towards the attack.
The Zhantu people in the formation.
Besieged and left.
Asa wanted to defeat Wei Zeng's army in one fell swoop, but he was deeply surrounded by infantry and it was difficult for the cavalry to take advantage of it.
Most of the cavalry of the Zhantu people were light cavalry, and they did not take any advantage in the close combat.
Faced with the siege of Yanbei's elite infantry, the Zhantu people failed.
Under the protection of his personal guards, Asa broke out of the siege and fled north with tens of thousands of soldiers.
"It's a shame that the enemy is obviously in chaos and has exposed such a big flaw.
Why do I still lose?
Are we Zhantu people really unable to defeat Wei Zeng?"
Asa said angrily.
"King, I have heard someone say that whether the Central Plains people are in chaos or not does not depend on their formation.
It depends on their flags.
As long as their flags are down, there is no danger in pursuing them; but if their flags are not Even if they fall down, the Central Plains people can quickly restore their formation," said a Zhantu noble.
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?
Are you saying it now?
Are you trying to make fun of me?"
Asa said angrily.
"I just felt a little strange when we were fighting.
I just remembered it now.
I didn't mean not to say it.
Wang is the hero of our Zhantu people.
Wei Zeng is our enemy.
How could I deliberately watch Wang's jokes?"
Zhantu people The nobleman explained.
"Then you need to be smarter in the future.
Don't wait until you fail to think about everything.
You originally wanted to defeat Wei Zeng in one fell swoop, and then take the opportunity to invade the Central Plains.
It seems that everything is not working now.

But the Mobei Grassland is ours.
The people from Zhantu and the Central Plains people will only die when they come here.
Article.
We still have tens of thousands of people.
With our familiarity with the terrain of Mobei, we can find opportunities to attack their grain transport team.
As long as they run out of grain and grass, they will definitely withdraw from the grassland and develop in a few years.
If there is a chance, I will definitely defeat Wei Zeng," Asa said unwillingly.
"But in addition to these enemies from Yanbei, there are many enemies from Guanbei.
Wei Zeng wants to seize our pastures, cattle and sheep this time.
If we don't lose our pastures, cattle and sheep, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to develop.
Get up."
The Zhantu noble said worriedly.
"Are you deliberately trying to get in trouble with me?
Didn't I say that we must drive the enemy out of the grassland?
If you talk too much, I will kill you."
Asa was furious and hit him with a whip.
The Zhantu nobles were dissatisfied, but they had no choice but to shut up and did not dare to disobey Asa anymore.
Wei Zeng defeated the main force led by Asa and continued to sweep deep into Mobei.
Wei Zeng not only wanted to defeat the Zhantu people, but also completely eliminate the threat of the Zhantu people.
"Our progress here is quite smooth, and we will soon be able to advance to the depths of Mobei.
There are many deserts and Gobi in the depths of Mobei.
We are not familiar with the terrain there, so we must be cautious if we want to pursue Beihu.
As long as Yu Chaogui's side is also progressing smoothly.
Let's clean up the grasslands in the south first.
As long as we can destroy the foundation of the Zhantu people, even if they cannot be completely defeated, they will not be able to recover within a few years."
Wei Zeng ordered. road.
"Then what is the general going to do with the Zhantu tribes?
Should he move them to the Yanbei border like before, or kill them all?"
Jiang Luqing said with a cold look.
"I understand what you mean.
The Yanbei border cannot bear too many people.
So many Zhantu people gathering together will indeed cause chaos.
But there is no need to cause too much killing.
The Guanbei we have already occupied will If they are dispersed and placed everywhere, there won't be any problems," Wei Zengyi replied with a frown.
"The general is kind, but we still need to be on guard against the Zhantu people.
It is better to place them near the garrisons in various places and teach them farming.
On the one hand, we can prevent them from rebelling, and on the other hand, we can add more manpower to the fields.
As for several horse farms, we still have to arrange them We are in charge, so the fewer people in Zhantu, the better."
Jiang Luqing said.
"What you said is very good.
Just do what you said.
There is no need to cause too many killings, but we cannot allow the Zhantu people to cause chaos."
Wei Zeng agreed.
After deciding how to deal with the ambushed Zhantu people, Wei Zeng led the army and continued to advance north.
At the same time, Yu Chaogui also led 60,000 troops to sweep towards the Mobei grassland.

Yu Chaogui's army did not have large-scale cavalry, but fortunately, the main attack direction of the Zhantu people did not include Yu Chaogui.
Relying on infantry and crossbowmen to deal with the scattered Zhantu Rangers, Yu Chaogui encountered no obstruction along the way.
However, the movement of Yu Chaogui's army was very obvious.
The Zhantu tribe had discovered the movement of Yu Chaogui's army early and mounted their horses to avoid it.
"General Wei asked us to destroy the foundation of the Zhantu people.
The Zhantu people have people, horses, and pasture.
To defeat the Zhantu people, we must either kill or capture all their people, seize their cattle, sheep, and horses, or destroy them.
But now the Zhantu people have fled on horseback, leaving this piece of grassland for us.
After we retreat, they will occupy the grassland again.
Isn't it a waste of our efforts?"
Yu Chaogui smiled bitterly. said.
"Brother Yu, don't worry, the Zhantu people can't run very far.
Our army attacked in two directions, and has forced the Zhantu people to flee west and north.
The far west is a desert Gobi, and the far north is a bitter cold land.
Waiting for the Zhantu people to run away If they can't run away, we will naturally catch up with them.
As for this grassland, it will be withered and yellow after autumn, and a fire will turn it into ashes.
When winter comes, there will be no fodder and hunger will kill the Zhantu people.
Starve to death."
Huang Yufei replied.
"General Wei told me the same thing.
But I always feel that fighting with the Zhantu people on the front battlefield and defeating the Zhantu people is the most satisfying thing.
It's just catching people and setting them on fire.
It's really meaningless. " Yu Chaogui complained.
"The Zhantu people have been harassing our border.
Since Asa unified Zhantu, tens of thousands of cavalry have moved south at every turn, and we have been very annoyed.
Only in this way can the threat of the Zhantu people be completely eliminated."
Huang Yufei advised.
"That's the truth.
Let's keep marching.
I hope we can encounter some large troops and let us have a good fight
