Three Kingdoms: Everything Can Be Gamified

Chapter 289 Crossing the river smoothly
We had secretly discussed before why this group of scouts were so well-trained, but now it seems that they cannot be called scouts at all.

Just say that according to the current standard training, after one or two years, you will have to be at least a military prince in the army.

After all, fighting, horse fighting, riding, archery and even cultural skills are very high. It is already a waste for such a person to be a scout.

"Get ready, let's start the expedition!" Zhang He turned around at this moment and confessed.

"Wei!" Xun You and others responded one after another.

They have been busy with this all summer. Food and supplies are ready and ready to go at any time.

"Zilong, how are the soldiers training?" Zhang He found Zhao Yun.

"The training has been completed!" Zhao Yun smiled.

Previously, he planned to recruit a group of people in Bingzhou, but later Zhang Yan surrendered. He selected a group of young people who were from a certain background and were good at archery to add to his command.

After three months of training, they have initially completed the upgrade of their riding skills, allowing them to master the skills of riding and shooting.

Give him a year, and the cavalry trained will be even more elite than before.

Since Zhao Yun is ready, there is nothing to worry about.

Supplies were quickly assembled and the army prepared quickly. In less than two days, the army broke out of the Great Wall and headed towards Meiji County, Xihe County.

From the time when the southern Huns surrendered, this place has always been the court of the Huns.

After the rebellion of the Southern Xiongnu, they killed Shan Yuqiangqu. Yu Fuluo, the virtuous king of the left, and Huchuquan, the virtuous king of the right, are now serving as guest troops under Yuan Shao.

As for the Southern Xiongnu themselves, they elected Xubu Guduhou as the chanyu.

This is similar to Beigong Boyu, purely used to take the blame.

The actual power lies in the hands of the various ministers.

It was also during this era that Zhang He learned that these barbarians, the king was called Chanyu, the nobles were called Khans, and the leaders of various ministries were called adults.

There is no Shanyu in Xianbei now, Budugen and Kebineng may consider themselves khans, and Dong Xianbei is the great lord.

Who would have thought that Khan would gradually become a title for the king, and Sir would later also be used as a title for officials...

"We can definitely set up a county here!" Zhang He came to a place with a winding river, which would become Hequ County in later generations.

It is basically surrounded by plains, and there is a lot of fertile soil when developed.

"There used to be several groups nearby. As long as the problem of the southern Xiongnu is resolved, it will not be a problem to develop it into a county." Xun You, who was accompanying the army, replied.

After crossing the river from here, it is the territory of the southern Xiongnu.The Southern Xiongnu basically crossed the river here to invade during the dry season.

So it looks flat and is suitable for farming, but in fact few people are willing to take risks here.

Not to mention, it is only more than 50 miles away from Meiji County.

"The whole army begins to cross the river!" Zhang He ordered, "Gongming, you are the vanguard!"

Across the river is the territory of the Southern Xiongnu, so naturally, there are Southern Xiongnu roaming there.

During the crossing of the river, the Huns' army will inevitably attack, so the choice of vanguard is very important.

Ye Bushou let them out early, and they would cross the river at night and then come to the other side of the Yellow River.

According to the instructions, all the soldiers patrolling the Huns were killed, and all the people who dared to take up arms were also killed.

There is only one purpose, which is to delay the opponent's discovery of the abnormality and delay the army's crossing of the river.

"Here!" Xu Huang took the order and immediately ordered his soldiers to put the pontoon bridge together.

The water on my side of the river is relatively smooth. Put up the two floating boards in front and fix them, and the rest will be much easier.

However, in the outer part, the water flow is much faster, so it must be laid as soon as possible.

"It's really peaceful over there..." Xu Huang directed the laying while staring at the other side of the river.

Normally, the Hun scouts would have discovered them at this time, and a large army would arrive soon.

A large number of arrows were fired at them, preventing them from continuing to lay.

But in comparison, other princes are more troublesome, after all, they can use trebuchets and so on.

If a large stone hits you, the shield will be useless. After all, the strength of bones is not as strong as steel. "Don't be stunned, speed up the laying!" Zhang He shouted.Seeing that the Huns were not coming, these guys slowed down.

After being scolded by Zhang He, the soldiers below were indeed much faster.

It is said that they originally came at the normal speed, but the superiors were not satisfied, so why not work harder?

Of course Zhang He also knew that it would not be safe if he did not cross the river, especially if he was released like this without being taken in for three hundred nights, he would be worried.

But the ordinary army is different. Yang Lang is currently responsible for the unified dispatch of Ye Bu Shuang, but the actual operation is divided into thirty ten-man squads.

Teams may cooperate with each other or act alone.

This situation most tests his scheduling ability, to see how he can maximize the power of this ten-man team.

Zhang He felt that it was normal for the casualties to be less than [-].It is not impossible for the entire army to be wiped out.

After all, there are hundreds of thousands or even millions of Huns soldiers on the other side of the river.

Sometimes you don't even need to be a soldier. The common people below may pick up bows and weapons, and they can also serve as soldiers.

Barbarians like them have to fight with wild beasts and people from other tribes all day long, so all the people can only fight.

Relying on those professional soldiers alone, there are too many people to support the logistics, and there are too few people to protect them.

However, compared to Xianbei, the Southern Huns were already in a semi-agrarian state, and it was no longer possible for all the people to ride horses. After all, there were not many places suitable for raising horses.

It's more about farming, and many people may no longer know how to ride a horse.

In the end, those who can ride horses are either nobles or professional soldiers.

It would be better to say that Zhang He did not find it strange that the Southern Xiongnu soldiers had infantry.

This is a group of dogs that have been continuously domesticated and have almost become Chinese. However, when the world becomes chaotic, they gradually return to their ancestors.

Zhang He felt that something was wrong with the Han Dynasty. How could they treat people like dogs?

There should be a Sinicization of all people, so that they can completely transform into ignorant barbarians and enter a civilized society. Isn't this the 'enlightenment' that Confucianism praises?

Animals are not well-raised. They will rebel if they lack food and drink. They will rebel if their lives are not comfortable.

People are different. They have nothing to eat, nothing to drink, and they can still find ways to survive until the next paycheck.

With the successful laying of the pontoon bridge, the army quickly crossed the river, leaving Zhao Ang to guard here while other armies quickly approached north.

Rather, the purpose of bringing Zhao Ang out this time was to let him guard the retreat.

After all, the fight lasted for a long time, and food supplies had to be transported through here one after another. If this place was destroyed, the food route would be cut off.

Although he could provide food to the enemy, Zhang He didn't like this gambling-like supply method.

"There really isn't a single enemy..." After crossing the river, Xun You felt a little incredible.

"Keep walking, you will probably know why." Zhang He said lightly.

The army continued to advance, and occasionally encountered some corpses on the road, including people and horses lying on the roadside. They were all scouts of the Hu people.

Not long after, I saw a small tribe, and almost all the men in it were killed.

Some women died and some were tied up.

There are about a hundred people in the tribe, and only about thirty survive, mostly children.

Just in time, another batch of about fifty or sixty women and children arrived from Ye Bu Shuan. It seemed that they were planning to place them together.

"How was the situation ahead?" Zhang He asked.

"Three or four small tribes were wiped out, and more than a dozen brothers were lost...A hundred people were injured, but everything is fine." The chief came forward and replied.

"Where's Yang Lang? How could he command so many people injured!" Zhang He scolded with a straight face after hearing this.

　Hequ later became a county, but in this era there was no county...

　　Well, my mental state is not very good. Recently, it seems to be two chapters. As long as I am energetic, I will try to do three chapters.

　　Ask for collection, ask for recommendation, ask for subscription!
