Chapter 516 Monan, Mongolia, Wei Qing

In the Monan prairie, the white horse general Gongsun Zan led a team of white horse followers to fight with a team of Mongolian cavalry, and the result was a big defeat.

A Mongol general, holding a horned bow, pierced through Yang at a hundred paces. The Mongol cavalry was divided into two cavalry groups on the left and right, trying to surround Gongsun Zan.

"Huh, huh..."

Gongsun Zan was holding his injured shoulder, panting, and there were only a few hundred Bai Ma Yi from around him.

The Mongol Empire is far from comparable to the Wuhuan tribe, and its cavalry tactics have also reached the peak of the cold weapon era.

"General, the Mongolian cavalry is forming an encirclement, and we may be captured!"

Bai Ma Yi always paid attention to loyalty and followed Gongsun Zan closely.

Gongsun Zan looked to the left and right, the Mongolian cavalry galloped, and it was indeed forming a siege.

If this continued, once the Mongolian cavalry formed a siege, Gongsun Zan, a white horse cavalry of several hundred people, would be doomed.

His righteous brother, Prince Yan, had reminded Gongsun Zan of the horror of the Mongolian cavalry more than once, but Gongsun Zan didn't care.

As a result, a general of the Mongol Empire defeated him.

The two sides are not rivals at one level.

However, only Gongsun Zan's white horse can escape after failure.

"This group of cavalry seems to be faster..."

Gongsun Zan discovered the horror of the Mongolian cavalry who detoured from left and right, and they were faster.

The attribute of speed may not play an obvious role in the Central Plains, but on the prairie, high speed can often play a decisive role.

The Mongolian cavalry generals who defeated and pursued Gongsun Zan, bent their bows like a full moon, shot and killed Baima Yicong cavalry one after another.

One by one the white horses died under his bow and arrow.

After all, Gongsun Zan had some ability, which made this Mongolian general have some guards. As long as Gongsun Zan is captured or killed, the power of the Monan lords can be weakened.

"Catch him alive and serve our empire!"

The Mongolian general urged the Mongolian cavalry, who were detouring left and right,

I don't want to let go of the White Horse General Gongsun Zan!

The two cavalry chasing on the prairie of Monan, and shooting each other, cavalry continued to fall from their horses.

As a sixth-order light cavalry, Baima Yicong is not inferior to ordinary Mongolian cavalry, or even stronger than ordinary Mongolian cavalry, but Gongsun Zan's bonus is not as high as that of the head coach of this Mongolian Empire.

Gongsun Zan was regarded as a general in the Alliance of Lords of Monan, but he could not be called a handsome one.

The two sides chased for thirty miles, and Gongsun Zan and the remaining Baima Yicong were about to be overtaken by the other party.

Suddenly, on the horizon to the south, a cavalryman appeared. The leader was a general wearing a bronze mask, with disheveled hair and a long knife in his right hand.

There were about 3,000 cavalry in this cavalry, Gongsun Zan had hundreds of white horses, and the Mongolian generals who pursued Gongsun Zan only had more than a thousand Mongolian cavalry.

"Stop moving forward!"

The Mongolian general stretched out his hand to stop the Mongolian cavalry from advancing, and looked at the approaching Han cavalry.

In the rear of Gongsun Zan's reinforcements, I don't know how many cavalry there are.

Out of caution, the Mongolian generals are still watching.

"Good brother, thanks to you sending troops to rescue this time, otherwise I would have been captured by the Mongolian cavalry!"

The blood-drenched Gongsun Zan could not help but cry out for the rest of his life after the robbery.

Prince Yan frowned.

Gongsun Zan did not heed his advice and sent troops to fight against the Mongolian cavalry without authorization, resulting in the loss of this new force of Baima Yicong.

The Mongol Empire relied on Mobei and could not support so many people, so it sent people to Monan, Western Regions, and Siberia.

The Mongolian cavalry in Monan is an untimely bomb, and none of the lords of Monan dared to go up and detonate it.

The Monan lords are waiting for the Central Plains lords to decide the winner. Otherwise, the Mongol Empire will be detonated in advance by Gongsun Zan who sent troops without authorization, and the consequences will be disastrous.

Thinking of the rapid southward movement of the Mongolian cavalry, splitting the troops into detours, the momentum was like a broken bamboo, and Prince Yan's scalp felt numb.

Fortunately, it seems that the other party is not ready for a full-scale war, so there is no movement.

"I didn't expect this group of cavalry from Mobei to have some skills."

Gongsun Zan also knew that he was reckless and was ashamed of his adopted brother.

Di Qing, who was wearing a mask, followed Prince Yan, glaring at the Mongolian military general opposite him, and the sword was ready to fight with him at any time.

The Mongolian generals on the opposite side can destroy Gongsun Zan's Baima Yicong. They will not be ordinary generals, but are likely to be one of the top commanders in the Mongolian Empire.

Prince Yan also noticed the Mongolian military general who defeated Gongsun Zan, and he called to him: "You should be the supreme commander of the Mongolian Empire in Monan, one of the four mastiffs, the 'Mongol Arrow', Zhebie."

The Mongolian general did not answer, which was a tacit acceptance of this fact.

"This guy is an imperial commander..."

Prince Yan is not very willing to be enemies with Zhebie.

Zhebei and Subutai were both one of the four fierce dogs under the command of Genghis Khan Temujin, and they were also the main generals of the Mongolian expedition.

Tebee and Subutai joined forces and almost swept across Central Asia, West Asia, and Eastern Europe.

According to Tiemuzhen, where the four mastiffs teach, they will smash solid stones, break through cliffs, and traverse deep waters.

Temujin obviously made a layout, Subutai and Mu Huali were in Tianshan, and Zhebie was temporarily in Monan.

Every big tribe is guarded by an emperor-level commander.

If it was Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, they could still challenge them, but if Gongsun Zan went to attack Zhebie, with the strength of the two million Mongolian tribesmen who had entered Monan with the Mongol Empire, then they would have to die.

Those who do not know will be fearless.

Because Prince Yan knew, he repeatedly reminded Gongsun Zan not to easily fight against the Mongolian cavalry.

Prince Yan's palms were sweating. He didn't know whether Gongsun Zan's failed attack on Zhebie would provoke the Monan War in advance.

better not.

Prince Yan is still waiting for the opportunity to start the war in advance, and the Monan Lords Alliance has no chance of winning.

It seems that Zhebei was not ready for war with the Han Empire, and led more than a thousand Mongolian cavalry to retreat slowly.

Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan joined forces of more than 3,000 troops, but they dared not go forward to pursue them.

Luring the enemy deep, this is the tactic used by the Mongolian cavalry. Go forward to chase and kill, there are ten ** will be ambushed.

Even the Roman legions were taught a lesson by the Mongolian cavalry tactics, losing an eagle flag, and one of the four giants, Crassus, was dragged away by the Mongolian cavalry, and even his withdrawal from the national war was interrupted.

Be cautious, this is the safest tactic against the Mongol Empire at its peak.

After Zhebie left, Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan returned to Monan Longcheng.

Gongsun Zan experienced a fiasco, and did not dare to underestimate Prince Yan's warning: "What the righteous brother said is very true, next time, if there is no righteous brother's permission, the brother will not fight against the Mongolian cavalry again."

Prince Yan nodded.

Since Gongsun Zan was defeated, it was useless to add accusations at this time.

In the Dragon City of Monan, several uninvited guests came. Generals such as Huma, Li Mu, Zhao She, Zhao Kuo, and Lin Xiangru temporarily lived in the Dragon City to strengthen the defense force of Monan.

The princes of the Han Empire had already sensed that the Mongol Empire was about to move.

Pushing from the north to the south is often easier than pushing from the south to the north.

In addition to Huma and his generals, there are also two generals in Monan Longcheng, Wei Qing and Gongsun Ao, who were sent here by Chutian.

When Prince Yan came back, he said to Wei Qing, "Brother Yi lost the battle with the Mongolian cavalry. There are only 400 left of 3,000 white horses, so the troops that can be lent to you are missing."

Wei Qing didn't care: "Just lend me 50,000 cavalry."

"Can."

Prince Yan negotiated with Liu Hu, the real lord of Monan, and Liu Hu lent 50,000 Monan light cavalry.

Fifty thousand light cavalry is already the limit that Liu Hu can take out.

Although Prince Yan was not the lord of Wei Qing, he reminded him as an ally of Chu Tian: "The Mongol Empire's cavalry threatens Mo Nan more and more. If you borrow 50,000 cavalry, Mo Nan's defense will be weakened by one point. Therefore, the 50,000 cavalry must be returned as soon as possible. I will spread false information to make the Mongolian Empire think that these 50,000 cavalry are still in Longcheng."

"Can."

"Do you need me to lend you a general or two?"

Huma took the initiative to ask Wei Qing to borrow a general.

"No need, I and Gongsun Ao will do. Li Mu and Zhao She stay behind to defend the Mongolian Empire."

Wei Qing was very calm.

Zhao Kuo, a young general who followed Zhao She, said: "With me alone, the Mongolian Empire would not dare to go south!"

Zhao She's expression changed: "Kuo'er, don't utter mad words, arrogant soldiers will be defeated."

"Since ancient times, heroes have been young, and I will trouble you about the matter of Monan."

Wei Qing glanced at Zhao Kuo more, then got on his horse, and together with Gongsun Ao, led 50,000 cavalry out of Monan Longcheng and headed for Youzhou.

This time, Wei Qing will attack Zhao Long and Liu Bei's Youzhou from the rear.

"I haven't returned to Youzhou for quite some time. If it weren't for the threat of Mongolian cavalry, I would have liked to participate in this operation."

Prince Yan and Di Qing stayed behind in Monan Longcheng.

As the remnants of Huma gathered in Monan Dragon City, Monan Dragon City became the center of Monan and a bridgehead against the Mongolian Empire.

There must be generals to defend, and there are also many generals.

Liu Hu said: "I hope that Chu Zimou will settle down Hebei soon. I have a bad premonition."

"good……"

Prince Yan saw the haze in the sky in Mobei, and it seemed that a big storm was brewing.

Fan Zhongyan's robe squeaked with the strong wind: "The mountains and the rain are about to come and the wind will fill the building..."

In the direction of Liaodong City, Li Chengliang and Jin Wushu were marching towards Youzhou Zhisuo, but the Wuhuan tribe in western Liaoning delayed their journey.

A rebellion broke out among the Wuhuan tribes.

Li Chengliang ruthlessly used the Guanning Iron Cavalry to suppress the Wuhuan tribe.

Guan Ning's iron cavalry, wielding a three-eyed fire gun, hammered and killed the rebel Wuhuan cavalry, killing thousands of people, which made the Wuhuan tribe a little more peaceful.

The rebellious Wuhuan leader's eyes were red, until he was slashed by Jin Wushu with an axe, and then fell.

"This is how the same thing?"

Li Chengliang summoned more than a dozen subservient Wuhuan leaders.

The prefect of Liaodong, Mingguan, operated for several years in Eastern Liaoning and Western Liaoning, and had long feared the Wuhuan tribe. Chang Yuchun and Li Chengliang were not the existences that Wuhuan cavalry could resist.

And now, the Wuhuan tribe in western Liaoning dared to betray Mingguan.

The submissive Wuhuan leaders trembled: "I don't know what happened. This man and his tribe are attacking the nearby tribes like crazy, and we are not spared."

Li Chengliang frowned.

One of the Wuhuan tribes suddenly went mad, which is not a good sign.

If it wasn't for Li Chengliang and Jin Wushu who happened to pass by this place, the rebellion of the Wuhuan tribe might spread.

Rebellion is like the plague, and the uninitiated will join the rebellion out of fear.

"You wait to send hostages to Liaodong City, and you must not betray."

After Li Chengliang suppressed the rebellion, he did not pay much attention to the small-scale rebellion in the Wuhuan tribe.

His goal was to capture Youzhou, and to suppress the Wuhuan tribe in the middle of it, he just did it with ease.

"General, this group of rebellious Wuhuan cavalry seems to be much more elite than when they fought against them before."

Guan Ning's iron cavalry reported to Li Chengliang what was wrong.

"Maybe it's because they are usually training troops, so they have been tempered. We have already delayed some time in western Liaoning, and we must go to Youzhou as soon as possible."

Li Chengliang still focused on Youzhou and marched towards Youzhou.

...

Jizhou, the pass of the Taihang Mountains, and the North China Plain outside Fukouxing, the Central Plains army of 200,000 people set up a formation here to confront Zhao Long's army coming from Bingzhou.

The two sides assembled hundreds of thousands of troops and horses in a mighty manner.

Zhao Long was wearing a battle robe. He had just experienced the Battle of Jingkang. Before he could rest, he immediately went south to support Yecheng and joined Yang Su.

"Chu Zimou is really confident. Instead of capturing Yecheng as soon as possible, he will use Yecheng as a bait to surround and help. It's just that he has the ability to help."

Zhao Long led the generals to set up the formation.

The 200,000-strong army in the Central Plains was relatively elite, while Zhao Long's 400,000-strong coalition had a home field advantage, including the Montenegrin Army and Jiangzu, which was superior to the large number of people.

The 200,000-strong army in the Central Plains was on the defensive.

Yang Su said: "They must have expected us to pass through the Taihang Mountains, and it would be difficult to turn around the food, so we had to take the initiative to attack, so we set up defenses here and delayed the time."

"Indeed..."

Zhao Long is also in trouble.

Although the 400,000-strong coalition army was numerous and powerful, it was extremely dependent on food and grass.

Xia Xia Liang is waiting for work in Fukou, and Zhao Long's supply line is extremely long, and he will have to launch an attack on the 200,000 Central Plains army.

Sometimes, the roles of the offensive and defensive sides are related to the situation facing both sides.

"Reward the army, prepare to attack!"

Zhao Long took advantage of the high morale and the lack of food and grass, and was eager to attack, so he had to attack.

On the opposite side, Cao Cao and Zhou Yafu served as deputy commanders, commanding troops and horses to resist Zhao Long, with sweat on their foreheads.

On Zhao Long's side, there is also no shortage of emperor-level commanders, as well as a group of fierce generals who are charging.

"This battle is related to the ownership of the North..."

Cao Cao has not yet commanded so many troops, and the pressure he bears can be imagined.

Xia Xia Liang deployed the Shenji Battalion: "The Shenji Battalion is on standby at any time to deal with Zhao Long's heavy cavalry."

The 400,000 coalition forces launched an attack on the 200,000 Central Plains Corps, with a mighty momentum and no end in sight...

Only the North China Plain outside Fukouxing could accommodate such a huge force.

Taishi Ci, Hua Xiong, the Four Tigers of the Northern Army and other generals set up defenses in Zhangshui, and they belonged to the formation of the Guard Corps.

However, Taishi Ci and the others could not be the opponents of Liu Bei's forces, so they could only anxiously wait for the arrival of Chutian.

Mi Fang paced uneasily: "Liu Bei's army has already moved south, why hasn't the lord arrived yet?"
