Chapter 619 Defeating the barbarian with the method of the barbarian (third shift)
"The whole army attacks!"

A few days later, with Xiang Chong's roar, the first battle outside the Great Wall of Northern Xinjiang officially began. They were suppressed by crossbowmen and crossed by cavalry to both sides of the enemy.

There were swordsmen, shieldmen and spearmen in front to resist, and successfully blocked an invading Xianbei army, then encircled and suppressed them, and finally defeated and surrendered.
In this battle, Zhuge Liang accompanied Liu Chan and watched coldly. Not only did he not have any command, but he even kept explaining to Liu Chan how the battle was scheduled.

"Although Xiang Chong is not a veteran in the army, he has repeatedly conquered bandits over the years, is very proficient in warfare, and knows the art of war well.

Not only that, he has a humble personality and fair dealings, and has always been respected and loved by his soldiers.

Therefore, even His Majesty has said that Xiang Chong is a rising star of my big man, as long as he uses it well and allows him to participate in more battles, he may become a pillar of my big man. "

After hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Chan nodded repeatedly, and then remembered Xiang Chong's name in his heart.

Obviously, this is one of the people he will use in the future.

"This person in Jufu is loyal, brave and generous. Although he comes from a wealthy family in Badi, he has a generous personality and is not as proud and complacent as the children of the aristocratic family.

This person can become a general in the army in the future and fight for His Majesty and the Prince in all directions! "

"I understand." Liu Chan also nodded again and again, "Then Yang Yi"

Liu Chan looked at Yang Yi, who was the counselor of the vanguard army, with an embarrassed expression.

"I heard that Yang Yi's character seems to be..."

"Yang Yi's character is too unruly, but his abilities are outstanding. Both His Majesty and His Highness understand this.

There is no need to say much about this person's loyalty, but his relationship with Liu Ba, the Great Sinong, Jiang Wan and others is not very good.

Especially for Wei Zhenbei, this is indeed a pity. After the two generals Guan and Zhang died of illness, the brave and loyal Wen eldest son Long Ke set an example for the army.

If Yang Yi's talents and Wen Chang Xiaoyong can be used together by us, great things will be accomplished.

But as long as Liang is still there, there is no need to worry about the two of them not being able to work together. If Liang is really there one day, it will not be unfortunate."

"What did the Prime Minister say?" Liu Chan was still holding the bamboo slips to take notes. When he heard this, he almost threw out the bamboo slips in his hand. "The Prime Minister still wants to assist my father and Gu to pacify the Han Dynasty. ."

"Liang is also of this age. I just have something to tell His Highness in advance." Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, "If someone really instigates the two of them in front of Your Highness in the future, there is no need to pay attention to it.

They are all loyal and brave people, and no one will rebel!
Even if there is a conflict, just send an envoy to them to angrily rebuke them, and then send them to prison to punish them."

"Why should we separate?"

"These two people wanted to kill each other when they met, and if they found a chance, they would definitely not let each other survive." Zhuge Liang couldn't help but sighed after saying this.

Here Zhuge Liang's teaching is over, the battle ahead is basically over, the battlefield is cleaned up, and the barbarians surrender after being beheaded or surrounded by the army.

Then, Zhuge Liang directly ordered them to lead the way and led his army to directly surround their tribe.

Cattle, sheep and other items were added to the army as baggage. All the young men, women, children and the elderly were separated, and some were returned to Beidi County to build forts and beacons with them.The other part is to follow behind the army, while helping to graze, it will also be the main people and labor force of the chicken and deer plug in the future.
"From Beidi County, go straight to the Jilu Fortress, the fortress of Shuofang County!"

This is the current march route of Zhuge Liang's army. Jilusai runs through the mouth of the gorge, borders the Han Great Wall to the north, and Tushenze to the east, controlling the transportation chokepoint through Yangshan Mountain.

This real fortress is now completely deserted, and there are also many foreigners such as Xianbei and Wuhuan Xiongnu living inside.

Zhuge Liang's army swept away all the way, and the Xianbei tribes scrambled to obstruct it along the way, but no one was the opponent of this army.

Then these barbarians wanted to go directly to the rear of the army as before, and then cut off their food and grass.
"kill!"

This time it was General Hu Zun who roared, and the barbarians who came to plunder the grain road in the rear were directly ambushed by Hu Zun.

Hu Ya General Hu Bo led his troops to surround the rear, and Hu Zun led his troops to use chariots to drag the main force, and used almost the same method as Xiang Chong to surround the incoming Hu people.

Then the crossbows exploded, killing them on the spot, seizing many war horses and taking in many prisoners.
After doing these things, Hu Zun also immediately abandoned his chariot, and then led the army and prisoners to join Zhuge Liang's army.

It was this battle that made all the people in Northern Xinjiang understand a truth.

"Then Zhuge Liang didn't bring any food or baggage at all this time. He used the method of bringing cattle and sheep with the army!"

When this reality appeared in the minds of the Hu people, everyone was completely stunned. At the same time, Zhuge Liang also told Liu Chan his fighting method.

"My big man has repeatedly succeeded in fighting against foreign races, but I have not been able to completely wipe out the barbarians outside the Great Wall. There are two main reasons.

One is the matter of food and grass. If there is a surprise attack involving hundreds or even 2000 people, we can still survive by surprise attacks and providing food to the enemy.

But once the number of soldiers and horses exceeds [-], the required food consumption will become completely huge.

Those Hu people will immediately start migrating with the tribesmen, and while they are constantly retreating, they will then harass the food road of the army, which makes me wait forever.

Therefore, even if our Han army is far superior to the Hu people, we will not be able to go on an expedition.

The second is the bitter cold outside the Great Wall. The farther north the world goes, the colder it becomes. The winter in Yongliang is already very cold, and the northern border is more than ten times more terrifying than Yongliang.

Zilong once said that Liaodong used to have snow for half a year, which could completely cover the general's tent overnight. This is the bitter cold in northern Xinjiang.

In half a year, I am afraid that the army will not be able to travel thousands of miles, and if we continue to go deeper, we will face the snowstorm. At that time, the army will collapse without fighting!
Today Liang sent out troops, bringing no food, fodder or baggage, but all cattle and sheep. They used herdsmen as guides to learn the way of life of the Hu people.

No matter how the Hu people migrate along the way, we will pursue them until we capture Jiluxai again and take back the gateway to northern Xinjiang to my great Han Dynasty.

Of course, although this method is good, there is a limit to the number of people. Thirty thousand elites is already the ultimate!
And in the next two or three years, I'm afraid I will be living outside the Great Wall. "

After hearing Zhuge Liang's words, the generals under his command hadn't said anything yet, but the deputy commander Liu Chan beside him couldn't help but began to swallow his saliva.

This was a little different from what he imagined.
