Chapter 554: Using the Northern Barbarians to train troops The Northern Barbarian troops began to gather and move south in mid-April. About half of them moved towards Keqin Banner, no less than 500,000. The barbarians marched without any rules and regulations. They were crowded together and looked quite impressive from a distance. But when they got closer, they looked a little worse. After seeing the tattered clothes clearly, the majesty immediately changed. If they didn't already have some scimitars in their hands, just stone sticks and wooden sticks, who would have seen it? People would think they were refugees. The backwardness of the northern barbarians is comprehensive. Although they are close to the Sui Dynasty, where culture is extremely prosperous, they are completely unable to learn advanced things due to isolation. It was impossible for the Sui people to let them learn, and the northern barbarians themselves may not think that this is a reflection of their backwardness. No matter what, the scale of hundreds of thousands of people marching together is still spectacular enough. The King of the Northern Barbarians sat on her stone bed, which was on a huge ox cart pulled by ten oxen. The Northern Barbarian King, who was sitting on the bullock cart, seemed to enjoy this slightly bumpy way of moving. In the past, she had to be carried when traveling. In the Northern Barbarian concept, there was no such thing as a car. After getting out of that primitive and closed place, their horizons were greatly broadened. This is progress. They have learned to drive, know that cattle, sheep and horses can be raised, and understand that adding some condiments to food will make the food more delicious. This long journey away from home is more like opening up a new world for them. A door to another world. No matter what Mr. Xie¡¯s purpose is, no matter how many Northern Barbarians will die during this migration, this incident will have a profound impact on the Northern Barbarians. Because when they step out, their development will quickly catch up with the times. Perhaps, for the Mongols and Yuan people, large-scale wars would make the country backward, and for the Sui Dynasty, continuous chaos would destroy culture, but for the Northern Barbarians, every experience they had was a gain. Because before this, they had nothing. Because no, even if the process is painful, it is still rewarding. Human civilization seems to be stumbling along this path. Every kind of civilization progresses, and there will always be a layer of blood and flesh on the way. There were already Northern Barbarians on horseback. Although they could not control the horses well, they were particularly happy because of this. They don't know how to install saddles, but they are very adaptable, and it is not difficult for them to conquer a bare horse's back. They began to put on the leather armor of the prairie people over their tattered clothes, and began to discard their stone weapons and choose sharper iron weapons. The Northern Barbarian King watched his people marching while talking. Everyone was excited, and then he looked at the emissary riding a horse not far away with a gloomy expression. She touched the golden staff beside her, which was given to her by the divine messenger after he arrived. The divine messenger said that this golden staff represented the ruling power given by the gods and represented the recognition of the gods. She liked this golden thing very much, especially the not-so-pretty stone crown on her head. Then, she remembered what the angel said yesterday. "On behalf of the gods, I came to the tribe of the northern barbarians. On behalf of the gods, I blessed the crown on your head and gave you the golden staff that symbolizes rights. These are all given to you by me on behalf of the gods. And the gods also gave me greater rights. If you cannot become a loyal servant of the gods, then I will take off your crown and put it on someone else's head." When he thought of these words, the body of the Northern Barbarian King trembled, and the fat all over his body trembled involuntarily. There was fear in her eyes. "We can stop and rest when we go eighty miles south." Mr. Xie turned back to the Northern Barbarian King and said: "When we get there, it will not be far from the Han team. Then the team will be waiting there. The Han people have limited troops. Maybe you will turn around and run away if you don't dare to fight. If that's the case, the territory you rule has expanded a lot. I think you can send people back now and let all the northern barbarian tribes come to the grassland. He will become the master of this vast grassland, and one day, he may lead a powerful army over the mountains to the Central Plains to continue his conquest." The Northern Man King smiled and was full of respect for Mr. Xie. "Everything must be obeyed by the divine messenger." She said humbly. Mr. Xie nodded with satisfaction, and then pointed forward with his hand: "Look, this endless grassland will be filled with cattle and sheep as soon as the war is over, and all the northern barbarian tribesmen will wear new clothes. Shoes, ride on the horse and gallop here, you will start a new life, which you have never thought of before. This is the will of the gods, and it is all my favor. Remember this, so you must know how to be grateful, and you must also firmly believe that my words are beneficial to you, so I don¡¯t want to have any more?Have doubts about what I said. " "No" The Northern Barbarian King lowered his head and put his hand on his chest: "Dear envoy, including me, all the Northern Barbarians are your servants. "Mr. Xie laughed loudly, with a look of pride in his eyes. At this moment, suddenly the sound of a horn sounded from the front, and there was no pattern. When Mr. Xie heard it, his face immediately changed. It was he who used the horns to warn. It was just taught to the Northern Barbarians. The Northern Barbarians still don¡¯t know what the length of the horn sounds means. They only know that when they are in danger, they blow it as hard as they can. ¡°We are encountering an enemy ahead! "A cavalryman wearing iron armor and a mask said to Mr. Xie. Mr. Xie nodded, glanced at the Northern Barbarian King and ordered: "Don't let the team disperse. I don't expect you to be smart enough to learn what I taught you. , but I hope you can remember what I just said. If you cannot absolutely obey my words, then the person sitting on this stone bed tomorrow will no longer be you. " After saying that, Mr. Xie rode forward and rushed forward. The hundreds of horsemen he carried with him followed him and rushed forward. The Northern Man King sat there with a dull look in his eyes. After a while, she suddenly He grabbed the golden staff and hugged it tightly. Mr. Xie had a headache. These northern barbarians were so stupid. We need to keep a distance of twenty miles from the large group of people behind. This way, if the team in front encounters danger, we can give the large group of people behind them enough time to prepare. But now the northern barbarians exploring the road in front and the large group of people behind don't know what to do. At that time, they got back together again, and the team marched in a scattered manner, and the two flanking teams also returned to the team, moving forward like sheep. Therefore, when the surprise attack came, these northern barbarians did not know how to deal with it. What's more, the Han people they feared came, and Chen Dingnan and Xiahou Baichuan each brought five thousand light cavalry. They followed Fang Jie's order to defeat the two flanks of the northern barbarians, but they did not attack until Chen Dingnan and Xiahou Baichuan arrived. It was discovered that the Northern Barbarians had already messed up their own team. Before setting off, Mr. Harassing the Northern Barbarians' flanks back and forth, the team cut back and forth on both sides of the Northern Barbarians like the wind. Every time they passed by, the Northern Barbarians' team would be severely torn apart. They seemed helpless in the face of the massacre at a distance. Once they rushed over, those damn cavalry immediately pulled away again. The Northern Barbarians' team was like a bloated man wearing many clothes, while the Black Flag Army's cavalry was on the outside. The tactics of harassment are like taking off this person's clothes one by one. Although this consumption is slow, it will have a heavier psychological impact on the northern barbarians, because the northern barbarians will sadly find that they can only. They were killed but had no way to make the enemy pay their lives. The Northern Barbarians who had just learned to climb on the back of the horse were in a hurry. They could not control the horses to do what they wanted. They ended up on a high slope about three miles away from the Northern Barbarian team. Observing the battle situation in the distance with his clairvoyance, Mr. Xie's first surprise was that the Black Flag Army would move so fast and move northward overnight, moving at least further north than where he expected the battle to take place. One hundred miles. Even though the Northern Barbarians went south this time with more than 500,000 people, they fell into a passive position as soon as they fought. The second thing I didn¡¯t expect was that the damn Black Flag Army would use such shameless harassment tactics. It took ten thousand people to make it difficult for the Northern Barbarians to "throw stones!" " Mr. Xie's entourage rode back and forth on horseback, shouting loudly. Although the civilization of the northern barbarians was backward, their bodies were exceptionally strong. Maybe God was really fair and did not give the northern barbarians a very smart heart. Their brains give them an absolutely strong body. The long-range attack method of these northern barbarians is to throw stones. This is what they do when hunting. They can easily throw stones as large as dozens of meters away. The queue was disturbed, and Chen Dingnan and Xiahou Baichuan reorganized their formation. Fang Jie, who was standing on the high slope, turned around and ordered: "Sign up and ask Chen Dingnan and Xiahou Baichuan to lead the team in a circle around the northern barbarians and force the northern barbarians' team to move forward. After contraction. Chen Bishan, you lead five thousand people back to the northern barbarians' rear team. After the teams of Chen Dingnan and Xiahou Baichuan cross each other, the northern barbarians' attention will loosen for a moment.??Immediately charge forward with the team. Remember, don't get stuck in and stick to kill. Charge for a while and then withdraw. Our main purpose is to train troops. It's not worth losing one more person. " "Here! " Chen Bishan responded, turned around and left with his team. "Marquis Lu Feng" "My subordinates are here! " "You are behind Chen Bishan. After Chen Bishan charges for a while, you immediately lead the troops to make up for it. The two teams of your troops alternate back and forth, attacking in turn like punching with both arms. Don't attack other places, just attack the northern barbarians. rear team. I'm watching from here. Once the northern barbarians shift their defense focus to the rear, I'll have someone send signals to give you instructions. " "Here! " Lu Fenghou clasped his fists and accepted the order. "Liu Xuri, Zhuge Wuyuan! "Fang Jie shouted. "My subordinates are here! "Liu Xuri and Zhuge Wuyuan stepped forward immediately. "You two join forces, and I will give you the ten thousand cavalry under my command. When Chen Bishan and Lu Fenghou hurt them in the rear of the northern barbarians, The Northern Barbarians shifted their defense focus to the rear group. You two followed my flag and command, and led 20,000 cavalry to poke a hole in front of the Northern Barbarians. In this battle, I want to test the adaptability of each of your troops. If you cooperate well, this battle will be a complete victory. If we lose men and horses due to poor cooperation, don¡¯t blame our ruthless military law! " "Here! "The two people neatly clasped their fists and lowered their heads: "General, don't worry, my subordinates will definitely live up to the general's teachings! " "Go ahead" Fang Jie waved his hand and said: "After this battle, we should go back. " Wanyan Yunshu stood beside him and looked down the mountain. He asked sadly: "You and Mr. Xie only met once. Why did you become enemies who could only raise a knife at each other? " Fang Jie reached out and held Wanyan Yunshu's hand, and said in a gentle tone: "Some people have always been very kind to you. No matter how you think about it, you can't think of anything bad about them. So you trust and respect him very much, but what you don't know is that all the good things he does to you are just preparations for stabbing you in the end. He appears just to take advantage of you, but the process is a bit long, long enough to make everyone believe that he is a selfless and good person But the more this happens, the greater the damage, isn't it? "
