Chapter 125: War breaks out among the northern barbarians
Xiao Yunxi would never have thought that her guess would attract so much attention from Zheng Tianming and Yingxiong Village that they would actually pack their bags to curry favor with them.
Please!
She herself wasn't sure if the crisis even existed or not.
Even if there is a crisis, it is still unknown whether it can be overcome. Aren't you having too much confidence in her?
Precision strikes when the poor are poor, firepower coverage when the rich are rich
The manufacturing speed of explosives is not fast. It is definitely impossible to gather enough explosives to instantly wipe out tens of thousands of people in a short period of time. Otherwise, there would be no need for the support of pillars.
They need to make a plan to ensure that they can cause maximum damage, but they must also be prepared to implement Plan B if the plan does not go well.
Beisheng Pass,
When Murong Hai received Zhou Jin's letter, he tried to open his eyes wide to make sure that he was not seeing things.
There is no problem with the token and the secret code. Is Xiao Madam’s husband Tang Huaiming really Zhou Jin?
"Damn Murong Chen, is he blind? He can't even recognize a living person that big!"
Murong Chen cried out that he was wronged.
He had met Zhou Jin only a handful of times. Tang Huaiming and Zhou Jin looked very different, and their temperaments were even more polar opposites. Even Murong Hai himself might not be able to recognize them!
It doesn’t matter whether he recognized him or not. Murong Hai was wondering whether he had blamed Tang Huaiming. After all, Zhou Jin was a petty person.
"Sir, the equipment escorted by the Ministry of War has arrived."
His subordinates' reminder interrupted his wandering thoughts:
"Go and inspect it yourself and complete the replacement as soon as possible. The northern barbarians may be coming soon."
The behavior of the northern barbarians was strange in every way. Murong Hai always felt that something big was happening. With the new equipment, their combat effectiveness was further improved. This was probably the best news he had heard in recent days.
There are also the Northern Barbarian Army in Wild Boar Ridge, who must be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise when the war breaks out, they will become the force that determines the outcome of the battle.
Zhou Jin's plan is risky.
Especially the ambush part, in which the pursuing Northern Barbarian Army was annihilated in a short period of time, was glossed over vaguely, and there was no way to verify and deduce whether it was effective.
"Damn it! Zhou Jin will definitely not harm me, let's take a gamble!"
The Murong family and the Zhou family have a close interest relationship, they are grasshoppers on the same rope, Zhou Jin will definitely not deliberately cheat him,
If he could pull out the nails from Wild Boar Ridge, he would have nothing to worry about.
Zhou Jin is a legend among the younger generation. When he says he can do it, he is probably not bragging. He chooses to believe it.
"Send the letter to Zhuzi. The two guard posts at Wild Boar Ridge will all obey Zhou...Tang Huaiming's command!"
"Also, send more scouts to strengthen surveillance of the grassland."
The scouts' feedback was that the grassland was eerily quiet. This quietness always felt like the calm before the storm.
Nasgul River Basin,
The territory of the Tumed tribe, the largest tribe in the Northern Barbarians, and their leader, Altan, the Khan of the western grasslands of the Northern Barbarians,
Today, he summoned the leaders of other tribes and the Tumed tribe's Wanhu.
"The general offensive is about to begin. Start clearing out the Han spies now. Gather tomorrow morning and launch the attack the day after tomorrow. Move quickly and don't give Beishengguan a chance to detect it."
"We must hold off the Yang family army. If anyone tries to play tricks on me, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Of course!"
"I swear by the great Tengri that the bravest warriors and tribes will receive the greatest bounty."
The plan had been made long ago. At this time, the leaders of other tribes were summoned to warn them not to let down their guard at the critical moment, and to appease them.
The tribes on the grasslands have common interests, but they also erode each other.
The tribe suffered heavy casualties and would be swallowed up by other tribes. When fighting, they would inevitably have reservations, so Altan had to give them a warning.
After the leaders left, the military advisor reminded Altan that Baturu's recent behavior was very abnormal and he refused to send scouts out to gather information, so he reminded the Khan to be cautious.
Altan snorted coldly:
"His little trick is nothing more than wanting to deplete my 3000 warriors, but he doesn't dare to joke about war. I will deal with him when the dust settles."
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes; where there is a struggle for power, there will be filth. Baturu wants to trick Altan, and isn't Altan looking for an opportunity to kill him?
The 3000 people he sent out were the hooks. If Batulu dared to take the bait, it would be his death.
“How’s the situation in the east?”
"I guess they've already taken action."
The northern barbarians are divided into east and west parts. Both sides consider themselves to be orthodox and there are constant frictions. This time they actually started to cooperate. It has to be said that it is magical.
Liaodong,
Jinzhou,
The winter in Northeast China is particularly long.
The cold wind was howling, and the sky was filled with snow, making it impossible to open one's eyes.
In the wind and snow, dense black dots are moving rapidly, the earth is shaking, and the lonely city walls are trembling.
"Enemy attack!!"
Sharp shouts rang out from the tower, and the guards climbed up to the tower, squinting their eyes and looking out.
"It's a Jurchen!"
He really couldn't understand why the Jurchens chose to march their army in such bad weather. Were they crazy?
Not only the Jurchens were going crazy, but the eastern part of the Northern Barbarians were also going crazy.
Gubeikou,
The combined forces of the Khoshut and Torghut tribes suddenly launched an offensive in the spring, and their attack was earlier than that of the Jurchens.
The general of Jizhou Town sent 3 reinforcements, but on the first day alone, more than 3% of them were killed or wounded. Fortunately, the pass was still under control, but they needed support.
Otherwise, Gubeikou will be in danger.
Suiyuan Pass,
At the same time, they were suddenly attacked by other tribes of the Northern Barbarians. Their strength and luck were almost...
The Northern Barbarians sent out their vassal army.
The vassal army is made up of captured Han Chinese prisoners, who are given weapons and forced to be cannon fodder. The northern barbarians supervise the battle from behind. If they go forward, they will die, and if they go backward, their life will be worse than death.
They usually move forward and turn their butcher knives against their fellow men.
The garrison at Suiyuan Pass was inexperienced and unprepared, and was reluctant to attack. As the vassal army approached, he realized that the most cruel thing to do was to play with his own people.
After two hours of fierce fighting, Suiyuan Pass was breached and most of the thousand households defending the city were killed by their compatriots.
Suiyuan Pass belongs to Yansui Town, one of the nine towns of Daxia. The northern barbarians rarely go south from here. Due to insufficient military strength, the Suiyuan Pass was broken and the northern barbarians killed their way south.
Although Yansui Town was weak, the general's handling of the crisis was remarkable.
He deployed troops and generals, and built a second line of defense with the help of mountains, rivers, and streams. At the same time, he sent a small-scale force north to cut off the roads and slow down the northern barbarians.
They actively saved themselves and recognized their own strength, sending troops to seek help from the three surrounding military towns.
Datong Town and Shan Town sent reinforcements to help form a second line of defense, while Ning Town boldly sent troops to attack from the rear and head directly to Suiyuan Pass, intending to close the gate and beat the dog.
The Northern Barbarian Army urgently returned to support,
The troops organized by Yansui Town pursued them relentlessly. The Northern Barbarians relied on Suiyuan Pass to confront the Daxia army. Relying on their superior military strength, the troops of Yansui Town launched multiple attacks.
Finally, they recaptured Suiyuan Pass, but suffered heavy casualties. The Northern Barbarians lost Suiyuan Pass, reorganized their troops, and marched to the pass, ready to retake it at any time.
The reinforcements from Datong Town, Shan Town and Ning Town could not be stationed there for a long time. More than half of the troops in Yansui Town were killed or wounded, making it difficult to defend effectively, so they asked the court for help.
