Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1350 Fertile Field
In the evening, it started to snow.

It started with rustling snow particles, and soon a white layer formed on the ground.

Snow particles sandwich some raindrops.

This is not the first snow this year.

Fortunately, although the Qin army mobilized in winter this time, most of the recruits were troops deployed on the frontier.This time it was a defensive counterattack plan again, so it was very cold, the north wind was blowing outside, and it was snowing, but the soldiers were all stationed in various fortresses and castles, and if they were mobilized, they would be deployed nearby.

The castle has already prepared food, grass, and weapons, and this time there is no need to mobilize too many civilians to transfer food, grass, and weapons.

It's snowing outside, but everyone can take shelter from the wind and warm up in the castle, and there are hot and delicious meals.

In addition to working hard when on duty, it is quite pleasant for everyone to gather and chat and brag at other times.

"This snow is really timely."

Duan Zhixuan looked at the snowflakes that were getting bigger and bigger, and said with a smile.At this time, he was stationed with Rock in Woye Town, north of Hetao Yin Mountain.

This military town, built in the north of the mountain, is located in the traffic hub in the north of Hetao. The military town is a three-city connected city building, which is in the shape of a convex character.

The middle city of Junzhen is long and large, protruding to the south, three miles wide from east to west, six miles long from north to south, and the two cities in the east and west are slightly smaller.

The middle city is the county seat and county seat of Woye County, the east city is the military city, and the west city is Cangcheng.

As the city of the Guansai Army, its layout is more focused on war defense, with urns, sheep and horse walls, trenches, suspension bridges, enemy platforms and horse faces, and turrets and forts.

The place where Woyejun Town was established is actually not dangerous, and the north of the mountain is even more flat and gentle.

The city is surrounded by gentle slopes, and a lot of fields have been reclaimed outside the city. Although the north of the mountain is dry, it is also possible to plant some drought-resistant crops. On the other hand, planting pastures is more suitable.

However, in winter, the crops and pastures outside the city have already been cut off, because the Tiele people went south, and specially sent officers and troops to burn the grass again.

Everywhere is black after the grass is burned, and now it is gradually covered by this white snow.

Although Woye Town has no geographical advantages, the castle is also very strong. What's more, there is not only this military town and city in the north of the mountain, but also hundreds of beacon piers and military forts.

"Why do you think this mud is so stupid, insisting on picking this season to send troops?"

A soldier asked Duan Zhixuan.

"If Nishi is smart, he shouldn't have the slightest idea of ​​committing crimes in the south. He is not smart at all. Now his mind is full of wanting to be Xue Yantuo's sweat, thinking about how to kill Huihe, so he doesn't care about other things."

The best season for normal grassland tribes to invade the south is autumn.Autumn is tall and horses are fat, a good time to send troops, the weather is not hot, and the horses are strong.You can still eat some grass along the way. If you can attack the Central Plains, the river will almost freeze, which will be more conducive to attacking cities and land.

But is there any choice?
In the past, the main purpose of guarding the border in the Central Plains was to guard the Great Wall, but the Great Wall line is so long, and there are often many ruins behind the Great Wall. There are flaws everywhere.

But Daqin guards the border differently, Daqin does not build the Great Wall.

Daqin even moved the line of defense forward hundreds of miles or even thousands of miles out of the Great Wall. Daqin guarded the border.

There is a large population on the border, castles and villages are everywhere, and the soldiers are well-equipped with food and weapons.

There are no loopholes to take advantage of, and there are no dead ends no matter where you go.

The imperial court did not need to temporarily transfer large troops from the Central Plains. It only needed to recruit government soldiers from the nearby border, or deploy them, which was enough to guard the border, and there was no need to go to great lengths to transport food and military equipment from the Central Plains.

The Central Plains is waiting for work, and the north is exhausted, and it can only face those strong fortresses.

"If you want me to say, in fact, we can take the initiative to attack. It's so cool to think that Huo Huqi would go deep into the desert and defeat the Xiongnu."

"Of course we could, but we don't have to."

Duan Zhixuan shook his head.

For Daqin, the Tie Le people in Mobei are a potential threat, because the imperial court is really difficult to control the land of Mobei, can it only be canonized, but it is so far away, there will always be some people who are dishonest.

For example, Xue Yantuo's mud, who has a little strength, is a little disobedient, but it is not necessary for the imperial court to send troops to Mobei because of this.

Once in the land of Mobei, even if the expedition defeated the mud, it is impossible for the imperial court to stay and garrison, let alone plow the fields and raise cattle there.

If you withdraw after fighting, it will not be worthwhile. After all, fighting a war is relatively expensive, and an expedition of thousands of miles is also very risky.

The imperial court set a strategy from the very beginning to divide Mobei internally, so there was the Huihe alliance later, which made it impossible for Xue Yantuo to occupy Mobei alone.

Now Xue Yantuo jumps over the wall in a hurry and refuses to sit still, and the court does not intend to take the initiative to crusade.Let Huihe fight with them, it is best to fight until Xue Yantuo and they both lose, even if Xue Yantuo rushes to bite the Central Plains, he is not afraid.

Let them come, we defend, wait for work, and then defend and counterattack.

"Our purpose is to weaken Mobei's power, not to occupy Mobei, so we can defeat the opponent on this border, why do we have to travel thousands of miles to Mobei to fight? How tiring!"

It is not easy to control Monan. Throughout the ages, how many dynasties in history can control Monan?

On a snowy morning, Xue Yantuo's army finally appeared in front of Woye Town.

Rock used to climb to the top of the city to watch the enemy.

On the top of the city, the generals of the Qin army were very calm. They had known about the arrival of Xue Yantuo's army for a long time.Along the way, each of the Fengbao military stations is constantly passing on the military situation of the Xue Yantuo people.

The scouts are also running on the grassland day and night.

Outside the city, Ni Shu was wearing a bearskin robe, looking at the huge military town in front of him.

On the vast snowfield, a huge city stood there so abruptly.

He turned to look behind him.

Countless troops.

20 people went south, here are only 8 forwards, and there are 10,000+ behind.

Looking at the three cities of Woye, Xue Yantuo was not very excited.

After crossing the vast desert and sea of ​​sand, they were already very tired. Marching in the windy and cold season was really too bitter.

I thought it would be fine to go to Monan after leaving the desert.

As a result, the grass was burned.

All the way to the south, the horses were hungry, but fortunately they had gained enough fat in autumn to support them.But when they saw the castles and villages of the Qin people and wanted to grab them, they found that these small castles were unexpectedly tenacious and strong.

After sending troops to attack several times but failed, Ni Yu didn't dare to delay any longer, and directly ordered to ignore the castle towers along the way and rush straight to Hetao.

On the town of Woye Town.

With a cold face, Rock used his own soldiers to raise his banner.

In addition to the flags of Mobei Dao Jinglue Envoy and Zuo Dudu Commander, there is also a big black wolf flag of Xue Yantuo. Once the black wolf flag trimmed with gold is out, the face of the mud under the city is like frost!
