Three Kingdoms: Everything Can Be Gamified

Chapter 395 Yanmen Frontline
The entire Bingzhou, no, rather the three states of Hebei are becoming active rapidly.

Large amounts of supplies were delivered to the front lines, and troops began to gather.

This is not just Bingzhou, Xianbei over Youzhou is also going south.

There has been no border market here, so they can't sell their livestock and can't get the supplies they need.

If the civil war obviously cannot be fought, then we should fight a foreign war.

It doesn't matter to Zhang He, if you want to fight, just come over.Nowadays, it is said that the entire Xianbei invasion was actually divided into three parts.

The three parts do not belong to each other.

At the same time, the three parties have been hostile to each other for a long time. While going south, they also want to let others plot against them.

Since then, it is natural that we cannot go south with all our strength. At most, we can send a partial army, and a few thousand people will be able to stand up to the sky.

When the three armies came down, their number probably exceeded [-]. For Xianbei, it was considered to be a 'valuation' of the Han Dynasty.

"If Xianbei doesn't have heavy armor or the ability to attack cities, why was the imperial court bullied by them in the past?" Zhang He didn't quite understand.

The emergence of armored knights in Xianbei was only after the two Jin Dynasties moved inland.

It is hard to imagine that a grassland nation would start to attach importance to the training of heavy cavalry, probably to adapt to the war environment in the Central Plains.

"The terrible thing about Xianbei is not their fighting power, but their eagerness to learn." Xun You did some homework. "They were originally a people who came out of the mountains and forests, and they no longer relied on nomadic life at that time."

In the early Western Han Dynasty, Donghu was defeated by the Xiongnu and retreated to the Xianbei Mountains, thus giving birth to the Xianbei tribe.

This is similar to the origin of the Jie people. Neither the Xiongnu nor the Han Dynasty wanted it, and finally the name of the nation was based on the place where they lived.

At that time, another Donghu tribe retreated to Wuhuan Mountain. This was the birth of the Wuhuan tribe.

The two ethnic groups were enslaved by the Huns at that time, so their customs were closer to the Huns.

With the defeat of the Xiongnu, the Xianbei who surrendered to the Eastern Han Dynasty occupied the grasslands. As their power grew, so did their ambitions.

From that time on, it has been a time of rebellion and fall.

By the time Tanshihuai unified all Xianbei tribes, this was the peak of Xianbei during the Eastern Han Dynasty. For almost 30 years, he had repeatedly moved southward.

Several expeditions by the imperial court returned in disgrace. The three counties of Yunzhong, Wuyuan and Shuofang were occupied by Xianbei, and Xianbei also roamed Shanggu and Daijun.

"The Xianbei who occupied the grassland relied on the methods they learned from the Xiongnu to restart their nomadic life, and also learned to ride and shoot. They fought with the Han, surrendered and then rebelled. Each time they were defeated, they would reflect and summarize, and then master new skills. ." Xun You shook his head.

The most terrifying thing is not how tough Xianbei is, but that they are good at summarizing and learning.

After the two Jin Dynasties were annexed, they quickly learned Chinese, learned how to fight on foot, and even formed armored knights...

"This is wrong!" Zhang He shook his head, "Even if they can learn, at most they can only make targeted tactical adjustments to our tactics. Otherwise, they will not just wreak havoc outside the Great Wall, but go south to fight with us. ."

Whether it is productivity or technological level, Xianbei is far inferior to China.

Can they invent a powerful crossbow?
As high as the Xianbei horse, can it arm heavy cavalry?

The so-called advantages, in the final analysis, are riding and archery skills, and riding and archery are the last resort.

Before the change, there was another advantage, that is, they often ate meat. No, rather, their main food source was meat, so their physique was better than that of the soldiers of the Han Dynasty.

In the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty, the horse administration was basically abolished. Without sophisticated cavalry, relying only on crossbows was only passive defense.

The opponent can escape into the grassland at any time and come back to kill him when needed.

Faced with endless harassment, the imperial court was probably thinking of giving up territory beyond the Great Wall. No, it probably already gave up.

Liangzhou has been in turmoil for so many years, and has proposed giving up twice in a row. In the case of Xianbei, it may have been implemented.

"Probably?" Xun You was not sure. In the past ten years, Xianbei's southward movement had been limited.

Without the ability to attack the city, it is not cost-effective to attack the Great Wall.

In addition, the big man has a border market. If you don't buy it, others will buy it. In the end, when they become stronger, they may attack you.

In the end, everyone had to buy, but there were only so many things. The big man had the final say on who could buy more and who could buy less.

As a result, conflicts arose, with Kebineng and Bu Dugen, and even the barbarians of Eastern Xianbei fighting with each other.I have to say that the Eastern Han Dynasty did a good job in Zongheng, and Zhang He had to admire it.

It's just that I don't need to be like this. It's okay if the other party doesn't call. Since they are coming, then I can also fight.

As soon as the words were spoken, the army was ready. Zhang He gave the order and the army quickly moved northward.

Yanmen County is located in the north of Taiyuan County. It is a hundred and eighty miles away and can be reached in one day. Of course, Zhang He is commanding the troops.

The soldiers below are already used to it. It doesn't require any physical exertion anyway, but there may be more emergencies along the way.

Fortunately, there were no wild animals or bandits that suddenly jumped out. After all, the security in Bingzhou was still good.

But by chance, they encounter a caravan that has an accident, or people who come to ask for help. Anyway, there will always be something to disturb them.

Helping to deal with it is a waste of time. If you don't deal with it, you will feel so confused that you won't be able to do anything.

After deducting these, it took almost no effort to come all the way. If it were not for the fact that the cart could not be pushed, everyone would have planned to march in a hurry.

"How is the situation on the front line?" Arriving at the foot of the Great Wall, Zhang He found Qianzhao.

Bian Bing is also here, but he is the county magistrate. I will stop by to see him later.

If the results are good, he may not be able to mention them.

"I've been here for two days and tried to attack twice. It was purely a test." Qian Zhao replied.

After a pause, he added: "The first time it was just a diversion with crossbows, allowing the infantry to try to attack the city, but the second time we used some siege equipment."

"Siege equipment?" Zhang He was more concerned about this than the starting pawns. Xianbei could actually make siege equipment.

"Some catapults and rams, but these are obviously not something ordinary craftsmen can make," Qian Zhao replied.

"What's going on with the infantry?" Zhang He asked.

"They should be Han people from Yunzhong, Wuyuan and Shuofang counties. We cannot rule out that they are some of the people they captured before." Qianzhao said helplessly.

The country has been occupied for so long that maybe a small number of Han people in the younger generation have forgotten that they are Han people.

There are many more people who choose to become traitors in order to obtain a better life. This happens in all eras.

Especially in ancient times, ordinary people had almost no concept of country and nation.

In other words, Xianbei used Han people as pawns to capture cities and territories for them...

There is no problem in tactics, but in terms of national sentiment, Zhang He just wants to let Xianbei experience it ten times and a hundred times.

"Can you withstand it?" Zhang He asked.

"Even if you don't come, they can't fight." Qian Zhao replied.

"What about fighting back?" Zhang He asked.

"You can try..." Qianzhao was not sure, after all, there were too few soldiers.There is no shortage of cavalry, and he has two thousand cavalry under his command.

Still somewhat worried, he couldn't help but remind: "It's just that the other party's situation is a bit strange. He seems to know a lot of our tactics. Especially the siege equipment, it doesn't look like they can build it..."

"There must be someone who told them about the technology or even gave it to them." Zhang He replied.

No matter what era, there will always be crazy people who say, "If I can't get it, everyone can't get it together."

It might be Yuan Shao, it might be Lu Bu, it might be Cao Cao or Yuan Shu...

Anyway, I would rather let foreigners destroy it than take advantage of others.

"This kind of person deserves to die." Qianzhao said through clenched teeth.

"Maybe they are dead..." Zhang He said casually, "They are quite happy. They don't have to worry about the flood after they die. But they leave a lot of mess for us to help clean up."
