Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 46 A mere grass village, worthy of being called a city?
"What, fortification?"

Hearing this news, both Gao Lan and Jiang Qi's expressions changed drastically.

Before the detective came back with a detailed report, both of them looked at Yuan Tan.

Yuan Tan nodded, and the two horses galloped forward like the wind carrying the two generals.

Yuan Tan also urged most of the troops to rush towards the so-called city built by the court of the Huns.

When Yuan Tan led the former army to arrive and joined Gao Lan and Jiang Qi.

The expressions of these two people are extremely ugly.

Yuan Tan followed their line of sight, and saw an extra city on a piece of grassland.

The city wall is based on wood and stone, and it is surrounded by the camps of the Huns.

There are at least one hundred thousand cavalry.

As for Yuan Tan's view, in the rather crude city, a Huns, wearing iron armor, patrolled non-stop.

Gao Lan and Jiang Qi's minds became more and more heavy.

One hundred thousand Huns cavalry, plus at least tens of thousands of royal cavalry in the royal court.

This level of strength comparison is really too huge.

At the moment, Gao Lan and Jiang Qi couldn't help but cupped their hands and said,
"My lord, let's retreat!"

"retreat?"

Yuan Tan shook his head, with a confident smile on his face, waved his halberd in his hand, pointed at the wooden and stone city, and said with a sneer,
"Just waiting for the grass village, you also want to stop my army? Wishful thinking!"

……

Yuan Shao's side.

Don't look at Yuan Shao's outburst in the Anyi prefect's mansion, but Yuan Tan's performance during this period.

It has already made Yuan Shao rely on his elder son more and more.

Of course, the little cavalry foundation he had worked so hard to save was led by Yuan Tan to bring disaster.

It is also a very important factor.

So without getting too entangled, Yuan Shao immediately rectified his troops and prepared to lead his troops to chase this traitor back.

This time, because it is likely to face the Huns royal court directly.

So Yuan Shao ordered many generals to accompany him, besides Zhang He and Jiang Yiqu, he also brought generals such as Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Gao Gan and Chen Zhen.

I also took it with me and hurried to the grassland.

And this time Yuan Shao also has a long memory.

A mixture of foot and cavalry will definitely not be able to catch up with this little bastard.

So Yuan Shao simply handed over all the infantry to the high-ranking officials and Chen Zhen to lead them.

He and Zhang Jai, Jiang Yiqu, and Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang led the cavalry and set off on light cavalry.

Just bring this rebellious son back before Yuan Tan gets close to the court of the Huns.

Unfortunately, what Yuan Shao never expected was.

Just when he set off with the whole army, the rebellious son he was talking about had already arrived at the court of the Huns.

And, prepare to order an attack.

……

"Young master, you can't beat him!"

"Yes, eldest son, you can't be impulsive!"

Gao Lan and Jiang Qi were about to cry right now.

Why did the eldest son come up again?

Is this Xiongnu royal court so easy to fight?
The Xiongnu Shanyu Huchuquan stayed here for several years.

Although on the grassland, the wood and stones needed to build a city are quite scarce.

However, due to the melee in the Central Plains these years, many merchants smuggled wantonly on the grasslands, providing a lot of convenience to the Huns.

That looks very crude to Yuan Tan, even future generations, no, no future generations.

In Yuan Tan's eyes, this walled city built by the Huns could not even compare to the Wubao built by the wealthy families in the countryside during the Jin Dynasty a hundred years later.

But in the eyes of Gao Lan and Jiang Qi, such a city is already quite rare.

At least, it was at least three grades higher than Zhang Yan's big camp.

There are city gates, parapets, antlers to keep horses away, archery towers and inner city towers.

If they brought infantry, they might be able to try to attack one or two, but the problem is that they are all cavalry now!
Not to mention, there are a hundred thousand cavalry guards in the royal court.

Of their [-] cavalry, aside from bows and crossbows and light cavalry, only [-] cavalry can really charge into battle.

Even when the Han Dynasty was at its strongest, they only dared to shout the slogan that one Han should be five Hu!
How could this tenfold gap be filled?
Zhao Yun on the side couldn't help but speak,
"Mr. Yuan Tan... General, this is not the time to be impulsive. Why don't I retreat first and make plans later."

Zhao Yun's character made him not speak insultingly even if he looked down on someone again.

So for Yuan Tan, at least in terms of address, he is still very respectful.

Yuan Tan smiled and said, "Don't worry, whether it's the Huns' stronghold or a hundred thousand cavalry, in my opinion, they are nothing more than chickens and dogs."

His confidence comes from one person.

Chen Qingzhi, the god general of the Southern Dynasties, the white-robed army god!

That's right, it's the Chen Qingzhi who claims to have thousands of troops avoiding white robes!

It can be called the cavalry god of war!

His most proud achievement is to win more with less, defeating [-] soldiers and horses of the Northern Wei Dynasty with [-] white-robed troops!

In addition, Chen Qingzhi also has a powerful ability.

The cavalry under his command can attack cities and pull out villages!
Compared with Chen Qingzhi at that time, he had to face the Wubao Fortress.

The walled city built by the Huns that Yuan Tan was facing now was really not worth mentioning.

As for the tactics used by Chen Qingzhi, Yuan Tan is not unknown.

What is recorded in Wu Mu's posthumous book is not just the battle formation of the famous Song Dynasty generals.

It is a summary of the essence of the tactics used by a generation of famous generals that emerged in the Central Plains China/Xia before the Song Dynasty.

Among them, there is Chen Qingzhi's tactics!
"Command, set up the formation! The heavy cavalry will be delayed, and the light cavalry will be in front!"

Yuan Tan suddenly gave an order. Gao Lan and Jiang Qi were stunned. Seeing Yuan Tan's firm face, they had no choice but to grimace and clasp their fists together.
"The last general takes orders!"

Then, Yuan Tan turned his head and looked at Zhao Yun, whose eyes became more and more unfriendly. He thought he was taking the lives of soldiers to fill up the Huns' stronghold, and said lightly,
"If Zilong believes in me, he will stay by my side. At that time, you will fight with me and see how I can defeat the Xiongnu!"

Zhao Yun replied coldly,

"I'm afraid Zilong doesn't have this blessing. Seeing the general defeat the Xiongnu, he saw my son of the Han family, Lang Ping, die in vain!"

"what!"

Yuan Tan laughed, Zhao Yun and Wang Yue were indeed masters and apprentices, they even said similar things.

Ignoring Zhao Yun's resentment, he flicked his horsewhip and rode his horse to the front of the formation!

Chen Qingzhi's tactic of attacking camps and villages with cavalry is difficult to say, but easy to say.

In addition to the extremely high requirements for the shooting skills of the cavalry under his command, it also needs the bow and crossbow of the cavalry under his command, which is extremely powerful.

Coincidentally, all of Yuan Tan's Qingqi were transferred from crossbowmen.

Needless to say, he is proficient in bow and horse, and the strongest long-range weapon of this era, the Zhuge Liannu, is his trump card!

"General, the army is ready!"

Yuan Tan took a deep breath, looked back at the light cavalry soldiers who were ready to go,

"Wait, are you afraid?"

Those ten thousand Qingqi, the earliest ones, had been with Yuan Tan since the Battle of Guandu, and they admired Yuan Tan's ability.

Immediately he laughed and said, "What are you talking about, the general? With the general here, is there an enemy army in the world that the general cannot break?"

"Hahahaha, well said!"

Yuan Tan laughed, and with the Heavenly Poundering Halberd in his hand, there was a heavy sound of breaking the wind, and he pointed at the court of the Huns below,

"Since that's the case, my sons, listen to my orders, follow me into battle, and kill the slaves!"

"kill!!!"
