Horse on the World

Chapter 82 Prelude

Chapter 82 Prelude
From Shanglinli to the east, Lu Dalin's [-] Dingzhou iron cavalry swept past like a torrent, and all the small tribes within three hundred miles were wiped out. During this process, Lu Dalin adopted Shen Mingchen's strategy, for The warriors of these tribes would kill as many as they could, and would never let them go, but they would let go of all other ordinary herdsmen, but they robbed them of all their food, killed their livestock, and burned their tents. Peng, and then let them flee like the depths of the grassland.In the past few days, no less than [-] tribal herdsmen fled to the depths of the grassland, and most of them are old, weak, women and children.

Most of these small tribes only have a population of about a thousand tents, and some more have only two thousand tents. They are as vulnerable as a chicken and a dog in front of Lu Dalin's army. What's more, these tribes who were unprepared were completely defeated at the first touch. To the point of allowing the other party to slaughter.Moreover, the difference in equipment between the two sides is also too great. The Dingzhou cavalry are all covered in iron armor and have sharp weapons, but most of these tribal warriors only have simple leather armor, and the weapons in their hands have been used for many years. Compared with Dingzhou cavalry in terms of equipment, only Baiar's pro-army Long Xiao and Huhe's wolf-ben armies, as for the other major tribes, only the pro-army of the tribal chiefs have such equipment .After all, the grassland is too lacking in resources.This is also the biggest reason why Bayar is eager to invade the Central Plains when the Great Chu is weak. Bayar knows that if the current good opportunity is missed, once the Great Chu awakens, a powerful figure will appear and gather the entire Central Plains. Without strength, the grassland will be vulnerable.

It is pitiful to see that the current Great Chu family is divided into regimes, and there are many conflicts among the various families. The situation is imminent. As long as a little introduction, the civil war of Great Chu is inevitable, and the central court of Great Chu has become useless. The suppression of the major families has also led to the fact that the only force resisting the grassland is Dingzhou.

Last year, I used a clever trick to kill half of Dingzhou's elite, laying the groundwork for my large-scale offensive this year. After capturing Dingzhou, the grassland will have a bridgehead to compete in the Central Plains, and the struggle for power among the major families will inevitably be for the sake of Bring yourself greater opportunities.What is even more gratifying is that the strife between the aristocratic families has spread to Dingzhou. Originally, the two alliances of Xiao Fang and Fang Wenshan ruled Dingzhou together. Now that he joined the Li family, his chances have greatly increased, and they must have greater internal friction.

Both Lu Dalin and Shen Mingchen knew that after this battle, Bayar's plan to attack Dingzhou was completely unfeasible at least this year. Without sufficient supplies, it was impossible to conquer Dingzhou, a fortified city that had been in operation for many years. Bayar is going to do it all over again, driving these refugees into the depths of the grassland. As the great Chanyu of the grassland, how can Bayar let them go? But at least this year, he will consume a large amount of food and livestock, which will make him unable to march eastward.

"Happy!" Lu Dalin sat on the horse, looking at the herdsmen scurrying in the distance, feeling indescribably happy. For many years, he saw all the grassland tribes rushing into the Central Plains, burning, killing, looting, and taking people away. The state was in a mess, and I could only hide behind the high walls and fortified city, watching the opponent's iron cavalry wreak havoc, and I finally felt refreshed today.

In front of them, a camp of a tribe was burning with raging fire, black smoke covered the sky, and the corpses scattered all over the place showed that the tribe had once fought tenaciously. Lu Dabing, covered in blood, rode to his brother. , exhausted but unconcealed excitement.

"Brother, this is the last tribe on our way forward, Fuyuan is a hundred miles ahead."

Lu Dalin glared at him, causing Lu Dabing's neck to flinch, and said in embarrassment: "I forgot again, Vice General Lu, our army has completed the task of mopping up, please tell me whether to move out immediately, we can still rush back to Fuyuan today, and join Li Qing The general's troops joined forces victoriously, this time, we fought too happily."

Lu Dalin smiled slightly, knowing that his younger brother had suffered a great loss in Fuyuan, this time he finally got the place back, and said with a smile: "Okay, send the order to the army, we..."

Shen Mingchen suddenly laughed and interrupted Lu Dalin: "Vice General Lu, let's set up camp here today. The soldiers have been tired all day, so take a good rest and leave tomorrow!"

Lu Dalin glanced at him in surprise. Along the way, Shen Mingchen never foresaw any of his orders, but just followed him silently, which also greatly increased his favor for him. Although his official position was lower than his own, Lu Dalin knew that , His status in front of Xiao Yuanshan is not comparable to his own. He has already prepared this guy to dictate his military affairs, but he has not done anything. Why did he suddenly come here at this time?Looking at Shen Mingchen's smiling but resolute face, Lu Dalin was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "Mr. Shen, the soldiers, ordered the army to set up camp."

Lu Dabing looked at the two of them in puzzlement, and said in a low voice: "It's only a hundred miles away, the army will take less than two hours, why are you suffering in this wilderness, the brothers are still looking forward to going to Fuyuan to drink a few sips of wine, Have a good time!"

With a dark face, Lu Dalin shouted: "What do you want to do, disobey the military order? Get lost!"

Seeing his elder brother getting angry, Lu Dabing pulled the rein of the horse and ran away in a hurry.A moment later, beside the burning tribal camp, the Dingzhou cavalry camp stood up.

Guo Shanfeng was very dissatisfied. He had been away from Fuyuan Fortress for a few days, and he hadn't won the bloody battle in Fuyuan. By the way, if someone wants to blackmail his achievements, he really has nowhere to find someone to reason with. He originally thought that he could go back to Fuyuan today and have a good wine fight with Wang Qinian and the others, but he didn't want to stay here again. Night.He and Wang Qinian did not know each other, and their relationship is pretty good now. At least Wang Qinian no longer regards him as an enemy. Guo Shanfeng is determined to improve his relationship with these guys. His confidant, himself, a latecomer, can't compare.

He was not a direct subordinate of Lu Dalin, so he didn't have so many scruples, he rode straight to Lu Dalin, and asked to lead his troops to leave first.Lu Dalin admired this big man very much. He walked all the way and watched him lead his troops to clear out the enemy's sentries.At this time, Guo Shanfeng was also covered in blood, and the terrifying mace was still stained with flesh and blood, plus the scar on his face, it was as ferocious as it could be, as ferocious as it could be.This made Shen Mingchen a little uncomfortable.

"Lieutenant Guo, you have worked hard all day, why don't you take a break and leave tomorrow?" Lu Dabing asked to stay.

"No, thank you, Deputy General Lu, for your concern, but Guo Mou's heart is like an arrow, this time Fuyuan alone resisted Wanyan Bulu's tens of thousands of troops, I'm afraid the casualties are not small, Guo Mou still has many friends there, I feel very uneasy, thinking I have to go back and have a look first, and I hope the general will give me permission!"

Lu Dalin pondered for a while, Guo Shanfeng must not be his direct subordinate, but Li Qing lent him to help, from this point, it can be seen that Li Qing is indeed impartial, otherwise this general will stay in Fuyuan, will give He has a lot of help, and he lends it to himself without hesitation.

"If this is the case, it will be inconvenient for Lu to stay with the captain. This time, Lu has the help of the captain to make it so smooth. This first merit, Lu will definitely let the captain."

Guo Shanfeng grinned with a big mouth and chuckled, "What kind of merit does Guo have? Our General Li planned the strategy. I just ran errands, so I don't need to lose it. When General Lu reports the credit, don't forget our general. That's fine."

Lu Dalin laughed, "This time, General Li must be the number one hero for this victory. No one can compete for it. You are a big man, but you are also loyal. That's all, go back and see your General Li. If you are really strong, keep you Come down, I'm afraid General Li will laugh at me for being stingy in the future."

Guo Shanfeng was overjoyed, he gave a military salute on the horse, and said loudly: "General Lu, you are also a man, and Guo was very happy to be able to fight this battle with you, so he left." He turned around and greeted His own scout team left the team, happened to meet Lu Dabing, Guo Shanfeng clasped his fists and said, "Little General Lu, you are very skilled. If you have a chance, let's compete. How about it? You won't think I'm a little lieutenant!" You don't bother to fight with me?"

Lu Dabing has been admiring this former bandit for the past few days, and laughed out loud when he heard this: "Okay, you bandit, keep your grudges like that, okay, when I return to Fuyuan tomorrow, let's ask my elder brother and your general Li to be notarized , let's do a good job, don't write you upside down and me Lu character upside down!"

Guo Shanfeng rode his horse away, and while beating the horse galloped, he laughed maniacally: "Little General Lu, you are so cunning, the character Lu is written upside down, and he is still the same character Lu! It's just that the top is heavy and the bottom is light."

Lu Dabing was taken aback for a moment, thinking that this was indeed the case, he couldn't help being happy.
