The central part of the Mongolian Plateau is Yanran Mountain, and the south reaches Yinshan Mountain. Between Yanran Mountain and Yinshan Mountain is a large area of ​​Gobi and desert. 50,000 cavalry, tens of thousands of infantry, and grain-carrying people advance to Yanran Mountain.

The further you go to Mobei, the greater the logistical pressure. When the food is in short supply, it means that the army must be withdrawn.

"The Mongol Empire was born in this plateau. Unless it is necessary, not many empires are willing to attack this bitter cold land. So batches of nomadic tribes have risen from this place, and they have gone south from time to time, causing endless scourges."

Chutian rides a Turkic horse. The Turkic horse is adapted to the climate of the Mongolian plateau and will not be unaccustomed to the soil and water.

The ancient Central Plains regime had little interest in the Mongolian Plateau, because there were many Gobi and deserts to the north of the Yinshan Mountains, and it was difficult to cultivate them. It was extremely expensive to control and digest the Mobei. The Central Plains regime is already amazing if it only controls Monan.

Chutian was thinking about ways to control Mobei.

If you build a large city on the shore of Lake Baikal, set up a teleportation array, and rotate troops and horses every ten years, you may be able to control Mobei. Once there is an accident in Mobei, the army in the pass can use the teleportation array to quickly go to Mobei to suppress the rebellion.

For Chutian, who is still south of the Yellow River, it seems a little far to push Mobei across the main world. To the north of the Mongolian Plateau is the Siberian Plateau. Within the sphere of influence of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, there should only be a few lords of the Grand Duchy of Moscow active on the Siberian Plateau.

The Grand Duchy of Moscow... Chutian remembered a lord of the Grand Duchy of Moscow that he knew, like Linna.

The war eagle soared in the air, falling from time to time among the iron eagle scout cavalry.

The iron eagle scout cavalry went to scout around, tracked down the whereabouts of the Xiongnu, and reported from time to time: "No Xiongnu was found."

"It seems that the main force of the Huns has retreated from Monan to Mobei."

Chutian knew that after the Battle of Monan was over, in order to avoid the edge of the Han army, the Huns chose to form an army in Mobei and fight the Han army decisively. There are indeed very few Xiongnu in Monan.

The main general of the Han army, Li Guang, was a little confused and almost went in the wrong direction, but with Chutian's correction, the Han army basically marched in the right direction.

"The Han army is here again!"

"They're really haunted."

King Youxian of the Xiongnu grabbed the reins of the war horse, and tens of thousands of Huns cavalry heard the arrival of the Han army and panicked.

The main force of the Xiongnu has retreated to Mobei, in order to increase the logistical pressure of the Han army, thereby increasing the winning rate of the decisive battle in Mobei.

"Last time Wei Qing captured more than 10,000 men and women and hundreds of thousands of livestock from our troops. This revenge must not be avenged!"

"Wang, there seems to be no Wei Qing's cavalry on this route."

"But I feel an equally disturbing aura..." King Youxian closed his eyes and felt a faint oppression, "It is indeed a little different from the oppression brought by Wei Qing, why is this?"

A black warhawk hovered in the air.

There are Xiongnu archery eagles who want to shoot with their bows in their hands, but the height of the war eagles exceeds the range of the bows and arrows.

The Xiongnu King Youxian looked at the war eagle in the air and took a second look: "You stay here and continue to monitor the soldiers and horses along the way."

A large Huns replied, "Yes."

King Youxian commanded his own cavalry north to join the Xiongnu Shanyu, leaving only 3,000 Xiongnu cavalry to monitor the whereabouts of Li Guang's army.

The royal court of King Youxian was destroyed by Wei Qing in the last battle of Monan, and his influence dropped significantly.

He now has only tens of thousands of cavalry.

Therefore, King Youxian was afraid and hated Wei Qing.

The main force of the Xiongnu was concentrated in the headquarters of Shanyu and the court of Zuo Xian.

"A hundred miles ahead, a large number of Xiongnu soldiers and horses were found!"

After the iron eagle scouts detected the traces of the Xiongnu cavalry, they reported to Chutian as soon as possible.

"How many people?"

"Probably tens of thousands."

"Tens of thousands of rides..."

When Chu Tian, ​​Fang Xuanling, and Lu Su learned of this information, their expressions were solemn.

In the Battle of Mobei, the attributes of the Xiongnu cavalry were increased by 20%, and they started at Tier 3. If they were a little careless, they would be wiped out on the Mongolian Plateau.

"Send scouts to investigate a hundred miles ahead. Don't approach this Xiongnu cavalry, and use war eagles to conduct reconnaissance at a distance of ten miles."

Chu Tian had the most adept reconnaissance troops in his hands, and even the Xiongnu who dared to approach him could not avoid the sight of the war eagle.

If there are tens of thousands of cavalry, it means that Chutian's marching route is correct.

"It may be the Xiongnu Shanyu, it may be the second king, and it may be the Youxian king. It is unlikely that other Xiongnu princes. If it is the Xiongnu Shanyu, with our 10,000 people, maybe they will be defeated."

Chutian took into account that the Xiongnu Shanyu had elite seventh-order light cavalry "Shanyu guards", with an average level of 80. He was the master of a hundred battles against the Han Empire in successive years. It is not necessarily that his cavalry encountered the Xiongnu Shanyu alone. Can please.

The 10,000 cavalrymen brought by Chutian included both new and old soldiers. The average level of Xue Rengui's sixth-order Tang cavalry archers was 57, and the average level of Chen Qingzhi's two thousand white-robed cavalry was 23.

The average rating reflects the number and severity of battles a unit has experienced. Levels can affect the combat effectiveness of troops. There is a huge gap between the division of a hundred battles and the newly recruited soldiers.

The White Pao Army was a newly recruited cavalry, but Chu Tian still brought the White Pao Army to the Battle of Mobei, because the huge bonus Chen Qingzhi brought to the White Pao Army could make up for the level gap.

The question now is whether to gamble and how to gamble.

"There are tens of thousands of cavalry on the opposite side, so we have to bring Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Li Guang, and Zhao Shiqi to beat them."

In order to prevent the annihilation of the entire army, Chutian chose to bring his teammates to encircle and suppress this group of Huns.

"Report, the Huns are heading north, leaving only a small number of cavalry in the rear, between two thousand and five thousand!"

Chu Tian was about to inform Cao Cao and the others, but news came from the Iron Eagle Scout.

Fang Xuanling speculated: "Obviously, the Huns are not willing to fight with our troops and horses. The purpose of the Huns' cavalry is to monitor us."

"If there are only a few thousand Hun cavalry, we can defeat them. Tonight we will go out to attack this Hun cavalry. After we leave the camp, we will inform Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Li Guang, Zhao Shiqi and others to chase them north."

After a brief discussion with Fang Xuanling and Lu Su, Chu Tian planned to eat the Xiongnu cavalry at the back of the palace, and then chased after the main force of the Xiongnu fleeing north. superior.

Whether Cao Cao and Yuan Shao would support him, Chutian could not be sure. What he could be sure of was that if Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi knew that a main force of the Huns was ahead, they would definitely support Chutian.

Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi were too eager for military exploits to be named marquis.

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty worshiped conquest by force, military exploits were the easiest way to obtain the title of lord except blood, so the wind of martial arts was rampant. When the Xiongnu invaded, the frontier generals attacked, but if the Xiongnu did not invade, they had to find an excuse to attack them.

With the help of the Han cavalry of Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi, Chutian did not have to worry about being surrounded by the Xiongnu cavalry and annihilated.

That night, in the Han army camp, Chu Tian ordered all the light cavalry to bring dry food, travel lightly, and began to hunt down the Xiongnu King Youxian.

The rear troops of the Xiongnu were the source of points. If Chu Tian wanted to take them all, they would not give them to Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. He eats meat, and Cao Cao and Yuan Shao can drink soup.

The Chutian Legion suddenly pulled out and headed north, and the legion, all light cavalry, marched extremely fast.

Cao Cao was in the camp and spread out the map when he heard a commotion in the camp next door.

At first, Cao Cao didn't pay much attention to it, but after thinking about it for a while, it seemed that something was wrong.

"Wenyuan, what's going on outside?"

Cao Cao summoned Zhang Liao to inquire about the changes outside the account.

Zhang Liao replied: "Xuzhou Mu's cavalry was mobilized, and the last general went to inspect and found that Xuzhou Mu's cavalry had left the camp and headed north."

"It's already night, you're leaving the camp at this time?"

Cao Cao's strategy was second only to the first group of advisers in the Three Kingdoms. He paced restlessly in the camp and suddenly realized: "It seems that Chu Zimou has discovered the traces of the Huns' cavalry. , summon troops immediately!"

Cao Cao's army was mobilized immediately, and Xiahou Yuan personally urged the troops that had already camped to assemble, and the troops were in chaos for a while.

Generally speaking, the reconnaissance range of the Han Corps is only ten miles in radius, and the detection range of the front and rear may be farther, but Cao Cao cannot detect that there will be thousands of Xiongnu cavalry a hundred miles ahead.

When Cao Cao successfully assembled his cavalry, the Chutian Army had already moved north.

Not only that, but after Cao Cao assembled, he was lost. This is the desert, and we can only march by night. Chutian knew where the main force of the Huns was, but Cao Cao did not.

After Cao Cao's army began to gather troops, Yuan Shao's military advisers Xu You and Ju Shou also realized that Chu Tian sent troops alone to enjoy the military exploits alone, so they persuaded Yuan Shao to gather troops in time to prepare for battle.

After Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi set off from the Chutian Army, they received a report from the Iron Eagle Scouts that there were Xiongnu troops and horses ahead, and the rebel general Chu Zimou was already chasing them north.

Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi were overjoyed when they heard that the main force of the Huns was a hundred miles north.

The Iron Eagle scouts also informed Cao Cao and Yuan Shao of the news.

Cao Cao realized that he had fallen behind Chutian, and he couldn't help but wonder why Chutian could get the information from the north. The terrain here is quite unfamiliar.

"Hopefully I can share a little bit of military exploits."

Even if Chutian took the lead, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had to go north to pursue the Huns' cavalry. Without military exploits, this Mobei battle would be in vain.

The 20,000 Han cavalry of Li Guang and Zhao Shiqi began to march north. Li Guang has a frontier cavalry under his command, which is a fifth-order light cavalry with an average level of 70, a division of a hundred battles. With the help of Li Guang's cavalry archers, Chutian could attack the Xiongnu cavalry with confidence.

A hundred miles to the north of the Han army camp, the bonfires were roaring in the Xiongnu camp, and the Xiongnu cavalry fell asleep peacefully.

In any case, it was difficult for them to imagine that the Han army would conduct a hundred-mile raid in a place that was almost completely unfamiliar to them, not to mention that it was still a cold night.

"Chanyu has been waiting for work in Mobei. Since King Zi once served in the Han Dynasty, he can't understand the reality of the Han army. This time the Han army has penetrated into the desert. Once defeated, we will hunt for thousands of miles and they will wipe out the entire army."

"We must retake Yinshan and the fertile Hetao."

The Xiongnu cavalry who gathered around the bonfire to keep vigil mentioned the war between the two sides and resented the loss of Hetao and Yinshan.

Suddenly, the familiar sound of hooves sounded, and in the darkness, a cavalry approached from the south!

Hearing the sound of hooves from the south, the Huns' cavalry all changed color. Their king had already withdrawn to the north and planned to fight the Han army decisively in Mobei. At this time, the cavalry from the south could not be the Huns.

"Han army! It's the Han army!"

The Xiongnu cavalry quickly woke up their companions and wanted to rise up to resist.

A round of arrow rain fell, and dozens of peripheral Xiongnu cavalry were shot and killed by the arrow rain!

A large number of cavalry drove straight in, and horses stepped on the Xiongnu camp!

Yang Wudi held a long spear and used the Yang family's marksmanship to dash left and right at the enemy camp. The Xiongnu cavalry was hit on the head by the long spear, killing him instantly.

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun marched forward and defeated the Huns!

Zhao Yun used the gentian bright silver spear (the exclusive weapon of the emperor, the only one) built for him by the legendary blacksmith Mo Xie, which was unstoppable among the Huns. The cavalry screamed. Zhao Yun came later, and the spear stabbed him to death!

The cavalrymen of the Yueqiying and Changshui battalions drew their knives and slashed the Xiongnu cavalry. The Huns were killed in pieces.

The cavalry caused massive damage, causing the flames of the fire to splash around, and the fire gradually spread in the humble camp of the Xiongnu, eventually forming a sea of ​​flames all over the sky!

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Xiongnu cavalry began to flee to the north in a hurry.

"Draw the knife!"

Hua Mulan led a thousand iron eagle scouts and had already detoured to the rear of the Huns. The thousand iron eagle scouts pulled out the Tang saber, and the bright blade pointed straight ahead.

Thousands of Hun cavalrymen who escaped were harvested by iron eagle scouts, and only three hundred cavalrymen escaped in the chaos.

Chu Tian, ​​Chen Qingzhi, Fang Xuanling, and Lu Su watched the battle from the rear.

Long-distance raids are already commonplace for Chutian, and the effect is as good as ever.

Chutian can see that his points are constantly increasing.

If he encounters tens of thousands of Xiongnu cavalry, Chutian may have to avoid his edge, but since there are only thousands of Xiongnu cavalry, the difficulty is reduced tenfold. Just send your subordinates to attack directly.

"There are thousands of cavalry on the other side, and there will always be someone who escapes. The main force of the Huns will soon know that we have caught up, so they can only advance quickly, and get supplies by plundering the Huns, and go all out!"

Before discovering the main force of the Huns, Chutian relied on the Han army's baggage team for supplies.

Although it is said that it is taken from the enemy and used for the enemy, it is also in the case of the enemy. If there is no enemy in the Great Gobi and the desert, if you rush into it, it is very likely that you will run out of troops and food.

At this time, the main force of the Huns was discovered, and Chutian could not rely on the Han army's baggage team. Because the Huns also had to eat, their main force often brought a large number of livestock to grab their livestock to get supplies!

Chutian's cavalry severely damaged the Xiongnu cavalry that was monitoring the Han army. Eighty-nine were killed or injured, and only a few escaped. After cleaning the battlefield, Chutian got a lot of war horses from the Huns, and immediately chased the Xiongnu King Youxian north without stopping.
