Three Kingdoms: Everything Can Be Gamified

Chapter 396 The Eve of the Great War
Some people really went too far. After all, no living person could hold the four people accountable.

Not to mention that there is really no evidence as to where the technology that Xianbei now has came from.

The living have to pay for the dead, and no one will be happy if it changes. The key is that there is no way to pay for this thing...

At present, there are 2000 people under his own command on the front line, 2000 people under Pound's command, and 2000 people under Qian Zhao's command.

Counting the local defenders, there are also [-] soldiers.

Counting logistics and baggage, there must be 5 to 20 people, and the so-called [-]-strong army is also acceptable.

It is better to say that this is basic common sense. No matter how big the battle is, there will be 4 or [-] soldiers who can stand up to the sky. The power of the entire country is another thing.

Taking 15 soldiers as an example, the number of auxiliary soldiers and civilians would be [-] to [-] or more.

A large amount of food can be eaten by nearly 20 people every day during transportation.

In other words, food has been lost during transportation, and the loss is at the level of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people.

This cannot be supported by the grain of one state. It must be transported from all over the country, which also means that the grain itself will suffer losses during transportation.

Even so, we must ensure that the place is not corrupt.

Otherwise, let’s not talk about normal wear and tear, it is possible for you to float up to [-]%.

Troops were mobilized from various places. The generals of each department were not subordinate to each other, but they wanted to compete for meritorious services.

That's fine, but what worries me most is that they are holding each other back, lest others make merit first.

Basically, in a major battle involving more than 2 people, if there is no general who can suppress the whole crowd and everyone is convinced, then the battle has not even started, and the morale and morale of the army have become very bad.

"This area outside the Great Wall is quite good, at least the goal is quite clear..." Zhang He looked at the map.

The Great Wall on the Dingxiang side is basically built along the mountains, so Xianbei basically won't come from that way.

So every time he went south, he always took the pass on the Yanmen side, that is, from the north of Pingcheng County (later Datong).

If we can defeat it, we can defeat a large plain south of Datong, almost the entire Dai County to the east, and most of Shanggu County.

Especially since this place is surrounded by mountains, as long as the main roads are guarded, the Han Dynasty will be blocked from going north.

If you can't beat them, go north through Ulanqab City in later generations and enter the grassland. If the big man has the ability, he will chase after him.

In a grassland with few landmarks, directions will become blurry without a compass.

The depth of the grassland is too great, and the enemy can appear from any direction at any time, even sparing the headquarters to attack the rear.

In other words, when attacking the grassland, it is not only best to have a leading party, but also to have sufficient positioning equipment.

Even so, it is not suitable for long-distance advancement. It is best to build camps and outposts and then advance little by little.

It is not safe to go all the way. It is best to attack in three or four ways at the same time to reduce the enemy's activity space.

From Zhang He's point of view, it is best to fight and develop at the same time. There will be many counties and cities here in later generations. They can refer to this position and advance little by little.

Of course it is just a reference. After all, times are different and hydrological conditions are also different.There may be rivers passing through the county in later generations, but that may not be the case in this era.

Actual irrigation projects such as artificial canals can also be considered, especially if there are enough laborers on the grassland.

This time the other party arrived at just the right time. Wouldn’t the leading party be here right now?
The enemy's current location is still forty miles away from the plain area.

There are mostly mountains on both sides, no matter how narrow it is, at least thousands of cavalry, plus thousands of infantry cannot be used very well.

But there is one thing you need to pay attention to, the other party’s baggage.Instead of transporting grain on carts, they were driving a large number of live cattle and sheep. In other words, marching was much easier on their side than on their own side.

Not to mention that the army will bring a group of mares with them, which can not only carry some supplies, but also complete the matching during the gap.

After production, mare's milk can also be produced to supplement food or be made into cheese.

From another perspective, there will be a group of mares among the trophies, although Zhang He doesn't think much of Xianbei's smaller horses.

But it must be admitted that the grasslands outside the pass are too vast. At the same time, it gets colder as you go north, and the wind and snow in winter get heavier.

It’s so vast that if you want to live on it, the horses can’t be too tall, otherwise they won’t be able to withstand the wind and snow.

It can't be too delicate, because the grassland is too barren.Endurance must be high, otherwise it cannot support long-distance movement.

The Xianbei horse, or later the Mongolian horse, evolved in such an environment.

It is better to say that this type of horse has been gradually eliminated by the grassland environment over the course of thousands of years.

In the same situation, there are Yunnan horses in Yunnan.

Dianchi Lake has produced horses since ancient times. Shi Xie from Jiaozhou obtained Dian horses from the Nanzhong Barbarians and donated [-] of them to Sun Quan.

From this perspective, the Xiliang horses under his command can completely defeat the Xianbei cavalry in a short period of combat.

If it is a long-distance attack, it may not be as good as the other party.

To truly conquer the grassland, we must start by domesticating and cultivating Xianbei horses.

"Let's spend two years breeding..." Zhang He thought thoughtfully. This matter would be too troublesome for anyone else.

"What?" Qianzhao asked as if he heard something.

"It's nothing. We'll start getting ready tomorrow, and then we'll fight directly!" Zhang He ordered, "I don't like passive defense. Let's kill these barbarians first, and then get Yunzhong County back. This year's task is a bit heavy, so no Problem?"

"Of course it's no problem!" Qianzhao replied. He wished he could fight harder, as these were all achievements in battle.

"Go and bring a message to Xianbei. Return to the imperial court within tomorrow, return the three counties of Yunzhong at the same time, and finally release all the Han people, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences." Zhang He ordered.

"It's impossible for them to be obedient." Yang Lang muttered.

You don't need to think about it to know that the person who sent the message will naturally stay up all night.

"Then you will be responsible for the consequences." Zhang He replied, "You will be taught a lesson then, don't say you were unprepared!"

Zhang He didn't expect them to surrender, so it was better to provoke them and then find ways to invest more troops.

That would save a lot of trouble, just kill the opponent in one go.

Speaking of which, Xianbei went south in one go this time, and Budugen, Kebineng and Dongxianbei United all came.

Zhang Liao is in charge of the Youzhou side, and Ma Chao is also there, so that's about it.

It's not just the two of them, there are tens of thousands of people guarding there, including several school lieutenants, army commanders and other commanders.

It's just that most of them are not famous historical figures, or maybe Zhang He forgot that there was such a figure, so he didn't care too much.

The second echelon he was more familiar with was Sun Li.

In the evening, Ye BuZhou came back, somewhat embarrassed.

The other party naturally refused to surrender and even felt that the Han army was laughing at them, so they almost killed the people sent there.

When Yang Lang came to report, he was inevitably filled with resentment, because he was the one who went to deliver the message.

Zhang He didn't know the problem. Even if this guy went there in person, he wouldn't apologize. It was already good that he didn't reprimand him.

As the commander of Ye Bu Shu, it is very irrational to personally take risks and almost not come back.

After a night's rest, Zhang He stopped by to see Bian Bing's work.

I only went there for an hour and briefly browsed through the files.

Born into a prostitute, with little family education and relying entirely on nurture, Bian Bing's talent had almost come to an end.

He is not the type who comes back from hard work and squeezes out an hour or two to study.

It would be better to say that he had tried his best to just handle the governance of Yanmen. "This kid, even if he goes to Chang'an, he will only be a minister of the Secretariat..." Zhang He sighed.

There is no need to go further, just consolidate the present.
