Fenghou

The first opponent the Naiman army was going to attack was the Tata tribe. After destroying the Tata tribe, they then wiped out the Mierqi tribe, and finally the Kele tribe, so as to achieve their goal of dominating the grassland.

The three major tribes were defeated again and again, and most of the males were lost. It was the weakest time, and the moment when Naiman was closest to the unified grassland. How could they not seize this opportunity?

Gao Ding made a major decision, ordering the army to let go of Ketun City temporarily, and the [-] troops went straight to the Naiman camp.

He ordered Xu Liang and Guan Tao to lead [-] cavalry each to cut off the retreat of the Naiman army, while he personally commanded [-] troops to attack the Naiman army's camp.

At this time, Khan Naerhei of the Naiman tribe had already received the news that tens of thousands of Yong troops had killed him. He was shocked and ordered the whole army to gather for the battle.

But as soon as the team was assembled, the cavalry of the Yong army came overwhelmingly.

Narhei hissed and shouted, "Don't panic, fight! Fight!"

The two armies fought fiercely on the grassland. This time, the Yong army did not use traditional tactics. They used cavalry, trained for many years, and would eventually use it on the battlefield.

The biggest characteristic of the cavalry of the Yong army is that a hundred people form a team. The cavalry is led by the head of the cavalry. If the head of the cavalry is killed, the deputy head continues to lead.

All their tactics revolved around the centurion, chaotic but not chaotic, and all kinds of tactical coordination were very exciting.

Although both sides have an army of 10, the combat effect is that several Yong army cavalry fight against one Naiman cavalry. This is a problem of combat efficiency. I spent 10 minutes fighting, and spent the remaining [-] minutes running in vain, unable to find a chance to fight.

The soldiers of the Yong army are well-trained, they cooperate tacitly, and their combat efficiency is extremely high. They spend 10 minutes in an hour in combat. Dealing with a Naiman cavalry.

Another important reason is the difference in equipment. The [-] Yong troops were all wearing iron scale armor, using fine steel short spears, sharp knives and shields, while the Naiman cavalry only had leather armor and rough spears. There are war knives of poor quality.

To a certain extent, the two sides are fighting for national power. How can a prairie tribe compare with the powerful and skilled Eastern Empire.

It may take three to five times for the spears of the Naiman cavalry to pierce through the iron scale armor of the Yong army, but the fine steel spears of the Yong army cavalry can stab the opponent to death with one blow. Poor suppression.

The battle drums on both sides rumbled, and the shouts of killing resounded through the earth.

At this time, the five thousand Xiliao cavalry from Kedun City attacked, but their target was not the back of the Yong army, but the logistics camp of the Yong army.

Five thousand Xiliao cavalry rushed to the logistics camp of the Yong army dozens of miles away.

The Six Thousand Grassland Allied Forces responsible for monitoring Kedun City were terrified by the Xiliao cavalry and did not dare to stop them. They hurried back to report to the logistics army leader Liu Kai.

This time Liu Kai went out as the deputy general of Gao Ding, and this was an opportunity he had repeatedly won. It is the greatest honor of every Han soldier to be able to go out to fight against other races and open up territories for his descendants.

When Liu Kai learned that [-] enemy cavalry had arrived, he immediately divided his troops into two groups, ordering Sun Jian and Wang Kai to lead [-] cavalry to lie in ambush in the north and south, and attack and surround the enemy when the enemy retreated in embarrassment.

The Xiliao cavalry was also desperate. They were betting that the defense of the Yong army's logistics camp would be empty. If the logistics camp was destroyed, the Yong army would be defeated without a fight. This was their only chance to win the game.

Of course, this is also the tradition of the Xiliao army. They especially like to sneak attack the enemy's rear, and they succeed every time.

This time they repeat their tricks and hope to win a big victory.

The Yong army's camp appeared two miles away, and there were only a few patrolling soldiers on the outside of the camp. They seemed to be panicked, turned around and fled, and the panic horns kept blowing.

Master Xiliao Wan shouted: "Kill!"

"Kill!" Five thousand Xiliao cavalry rushed towards the camp of the Yong army like a rushing tide.

After five hundred paces, a dark cloud suddenly appeared over the Western Army's camp, and it was densely packed with ten thousand heavy arrows, shooting towards the Western Liao cavalry at an extremely fast speed.

"It's an enemy arrow, dodge!"

Commander Wan hissed and shouted, this is what caught him off guard, the Xiliao cavalry didn't even have time to raise their shields, ten thousand heavy arrows shot into the cavalry group like a storm.

There were screams in the cavalry group. The leather armor of the Xiliao cavalry could not resist the penetrating power of the heavy arrows from the air, and even many soldiers could not resist the shields.

The powerful armor-piercing arrows pierced the shield and leather armor, and the cavalry fell one by one. Among the 2000 cavalry, [-] were hit by arrows.

The cavalry was still rushing forward, and in the second round, [-] heavy arrows were shot again. The Xiliao cavalry was defenseless, and countless soldiers fell off their horses screaming.

After only two rounds of arrows, only [-] of the [-] cavalry were left, and they turned around and fled.

Liu Kai could see clearly, he immediately ordered: "Send the order to attack!"

"Ugh-"

The horn sounded, and two cavalry led by the two ruling generals Sun Jian and Wang Kai came from the north and the south, and [-] Yong army cavalry surrounded the remaining Xiliao cavalry regiments.

The first thousand and five hundred and fifty five chapters are strong

The fierce battle has been approaching for an hour, and the casualties of the Naiman cavalry are increasing. Although they are tall and skilled in equestrianism, which is their greatest advantage, their equipment, personal martial arts, training and coordination are far behind the Yong army. .

As the casualties increased, the Naiman tribe couldn't hold back anymore. Khan Narhei of the Naiman tribe waved his knife anxiously and shouted, "Hold it! Don't retreat!"

Just then, a cold arrow 'whoosh! 'The shot came, the speed was fast, and Narhei was caught off guard,'Pfft! ' An arrow hit the throat.

Narhei let out a muffled grunt, turned over and fell off his horse. The guard soldiers around him were in a hurry and rescued him. They didn't care about the critical situation and ran away with the seriously injured Khan, but the guard soldiers were flustered and didn't think about it. Deploy false soldiers.

Thousands of Naiman Khan's guards fled westward, and Khan's Langtouwang Banner also retreated westward, and was immediately spotted by other Naiman cavalry who were struggling to support.

Khan's escape was the last straw that overwhelmed the Naiman army. The Naiman army was immediately defeated, and tens of thousands of troops rushed to flee on the grassland.

Gao Ding shouted: "Pursue, kill without mercy!"

This Zhanyong army has already decided on a battle strategy, does not accept prisoners of war, kills them without mercy, they can't deal with the prisoners of the Naiman tribe, and handing them over to the other three tribes is just to take advantage of them and strengthen their strength.

Therefore, it is the best policy to physically eliminate the cavalry of the Naiman tribe. All the cavalry of the Yong army have been ordered before going to battle, and they will not accept surrender, and they will count their merits with their heads.

The Yong army cavalry refused to let the opponent go, chasing and killing them all the way, shooting from behind with bows and arrows, countless enemy cavalry fell off their horses with arrows.

After running for more than ten miles, Xu Liang and Guan Tao led [-] cavalry each to cut off the retreat route of the Naiman cavalry. The [-] troops came up to hide and kill, and the pursuers also killed them. Khan Narhei, who was seriously injured, also escaped death.

The outcome of this battle was extremely tragic. Only a few thousand of the [-] Naiman troops escaped, and the rest of the soldiers had no way to surrender. They were all beheaded by the Yong army.

In this battle between cavalry and cavalry, the cavalry of the Yong army also suffered more than [-] casualties, only [-]% of the opponent's casualties.

The Yong army immediately occupied Kedun City. Kedun City was built by the Liao Kingdom with more than [-] people in two years. It is responsible for the construction, all of which are built with solid boulders. Its scale is second only to Linhuang City. It can be called the second city of the grassland, and it is also the core main city where the Liao and Jin Dynasties ruled the grassland.

Kedun City has a circumference of more than [-] miles. The city wall contains a large amount of iron ore. From a distance, the city wall is red, shining golden light in the sun. Gao Ding immediately renamed Kedun City as Jincheng.

There are currently no residents in the city, and the original thousands of Jurchen people were all killed by the Xiliao army in retaliation.

The Yong army moved all the logistics materials into Ketun City, but at this moment, a huge conflict occurred between the Yong army and the three prairie coalition forces.

……

By a small river about [-] miles north of Ketun City, there lived a small Naiman tribe with about three to four hundred households, mainly consisting of old and weak women and children, and all young and strong men joined the army.

At noon that day, a Tata army of about [-] came suddenly. They rushed into the tribal tents like a pack of wolves, and began to violently loot property, rape women, and slaughter old people and children.

The originally peaceful tribe screamed and wailed, as if they had suddenly fallen into hell.

But not long after, a 200-man Yong army cavalry also arrived, headed by a deputy commander named Zhou Liang, who was ordered to take over this small tribe.

Zhou Liang and the Yongjun cavalry happened to witness the Tata cavalry's violence, and they were furious. The Yongjun cavalry rushed up and chopped down more than [-] Tata cavalry who were raping women.

The screams of the Tata cavalry alarmed the other cavalry, and they ran out of the big tent one after another, pointing at the Yong army cavalry and cursing.

Zhou Liang's face sank, and he ordered: "Kill!"

The cavalry of the Yong army rushed forward and slashed and killed the Tata tribe mercilessly, killing more than 100 people in a moment. The other Tata tribe soldiers were frightened, left their belongings and women, and fled on horseback.

The Yong army cavalry came in time and stopped the Tata cavalry's crazy violence, but dozens of old people and children were killed, and nearly a hundred women were abused.

Zhou Liang asked his subordinates to cremate the corpses of the people, appease the people, and deal with the corpses of the soldiers of the Tata Department. They were busy until dusk.

Zhou Liang gathered all the people of the Naiman tribe and asked an interpreter to convey his news.

"The Xiliao army and the Naiman army were all wiped out by the Yong army. From now on, the grasslands within [-] miles around Kedun City are the land of the Yong State. The Yong army will not harm the elderly, children and women. You are willing to return to Naiman Ministry, we don’t force you, you go back on your own, if you are willing to stay, then you are the citizens of Yong Kingdom, our army will protect your safety, but we remind you that we can no longer protect you if you leave the land of Yong Kingdom , you will be the prey of the Tata, Miergi, and Kret, who will kill old men and children, and rob women and property, just as before."

Nearly a thousand people were silent. At this time, an old man asked tremblingly: "If we stay, will the property and sheep be handed over?"

Zhou Liang shook his head, "If you stay, then you are the subjects of His Majesty the Emperor Yong Dynasty. Your property and flocks belong to you. We will not plunder, but you have to pay taxes. You have to give birth to a hundred lambs every year. There are five lambs in Ketun, and the rest are yourselves."

This condition is undoubtedly very tempting. In the Naiman tribe, they have to pay [-]% of the sheep tax every year, while the Yong Dynasty only needs half of it.

At this time, night had fallen, Zhou Liang didn't ask them to respond immediately, and decided the next day.

That night, dozens of middle-aged and old men from the tribe gathered to discuss. They are the pillars of the whole tribe. Everyone asked to stay. Everyone knew that as long as they left, it would be a dead end. Will let them go.

At night, several old men approached Zhou Liang and expressed their willingness to stay and become citizens of Yong Kingdom.

……

In just two days, nine conflicts broke out between the Yong army and the three coalition forces, and more than [-] people were killed by the three coalition forces, all of which were conflicts over population and property.

According to the previous agreement signed by the two parties, among the spoils, the Yong army wanted cattle, sheep, property, and the population belonged to the other three divisions.

But in another article, it is clearly stipulated that after the war, the Yong Army will obtain the land within a radius of [-] miles from Ketun City as the center of the Yong Dynasty. They are all property of the Yong Dynasty.

and so.

Therefore, if the three major tribes want to plunder the population, they can do it three hundred miles away. If they have the ability to plunder the old nest of the Naiman tribe, the Yong army promises not to interfere, but in the territory of the Yong Dynasty, all property and population belong to the Yong Dynasty. If they dare to plunder, it is inevitable It's war.

After receiving the official reply, the three coalition forces not only had to admit the dumb loss, they did not dare to entangle any more, and quickly retreated for three hundred miles, each rushing back to the tribe. Their most urgent task was to lead the tribe back to seize the golden pasture.

……

At the end of the war, the Yong army also seized a large amount of logistics supplies. There were more than ten million cattle and sheep alone, and hundreds of thousands of horses. This was the property that the Naiman tribe plundered from the three major tribes, and finally fell into the hands of the Yong army.

Not only cattle and sheep livestock, but also 150 million sheepskins, 50 bags of wool and cashmere, a large amount of sheep wine and cheese, and countless medicinal materials, gold and silver.

Of course, there were still tens of thousands of people, and these people involved more than a dozen small Naiman tribes. The Yong Dynasty also needed some people to raise sheep and livestock on their grasslands to provide supplies for the garrison.

There were fifteen Naiman tribes in total, only two tribes chose to leave and return to Jinshan, and the other thirteen tribes chose to stay.

But half a month later, the two lost tribes fled back in a panic. They were hunted by the Tata tribe, and half of their population and property were robbed.

The lessons of blood tell them that only by relying on a powerful force can they survive, and the Yong Dynasty is their only and best choice.

The first thousand and 550 chapters and six tweets

Three days later, Niu Gao led an army of [-] to Kedun City. According to the deployment of Emperor Chen Qing, Gao Ding's army was to defeat the Naiman army and seize the land, but Niu Gao was the general who actually managed the land.

The arrival of Niu Gao freed Gao Ding from any worries, and he could continue to lead his army westward.

In the big tent, Gao Ding handed the emperor's letter to Niu Gao, which detailed the emperor Chen Qing's thoughts on controlling the Mobei grassland.

The first is to build three cities, Linhuang City in the east, Jincheng in the middle, and Chicheng in the west near Jinshan.

Among them, Linhuang City controls the eastern grassland, connects Liaodong, and receives the support of the Liaodong army and government.

And Jincheng in the middle controls the Gold Ranch, and will build a special road to connect Datong Mansion in the future.

Chicheng in the west controls the western grasslands, connects the Western Regions, and is supported by the Western Regions garrison.

The second is to control the main tribes in the grassland through Jincheng in the middle of the country, implement the Tweet Order, and divide the tribes in the grassland. We must prevent the emergence of powerful tribes in the grassland. If there are signs, we must attack them mercilessly.

Finally, it will gradually expand to the north, bringing the more extensive northern forest and the North Sea into the territory of the Yong Dynasty.

After reading the scripture, Niu Gao pondered for a moment and said, "After a while, the competition for the Golden Ranch will become an opportunity for the three tribes to turn against each other. I suggest that the weakened Naiman tribe be introduced to the Golden Ranch, so that the four tribes will fall into endless chaos. In the disputes between them, we remain neutral, and when the time is right, we can provoke a war between them."

Zhang Zhe pondered for a while and said: "Whether the outbreak of war will lead to the emergence of powerful tribes, or lead to the reunification of the tribes, this is what we must beware of. I think it is better for the nobles of the tribes to be content with the status quo."

Gao Ding smiled and said: "You two are off topic. The essence of Tianzi Grassland strategy lies in the Tweet Order, which allows small and medium tribes to gain autonomy. This is the key to our grassland strategy. Under the Tweet Order, every small and medium tribe is Independently, the grassland ministries will eventually become a mess, we should consider how to implement the Tweet Order!"

Niu Gao nodded, "The key to the Tweeting Order is the canonization. We need to send envoys to each tribe to canonize them. To give them safe protection, we can establish a liaison system in Jincheng. Each tribe sends one person to be a liaison in Jincheng. , if they are threatened or invaded, they will immediately call for help through the liaison officer."

Gao Ding and Zhang Zhe appreciated the liaison system very much, which was clearly applying the Jinsouyuan system, through which the small and medium tribes were united around the Yong army.

Zhang Zhe also said with a smile: "I told them all that Jincheng will become the largest commercial center in the grassland. Merchants from all walks of life will gather in Jincheng, and goods from various ministries of the grassland will also be sent to the grassland. Then let the tribes of the grassland Establishing their own business firms in Jincheng is not only a business organization, but also a contact person, wouldn't it be more able to mobilize the enthusiasm of the tribes, and the Khan can't stop them."

Niu Gao praised, "Using a business firm is really a clever plan!"

The three of you said one word, and I said one word, and a complete Tuen Token plan was introduced. Of course, the Tuen Token plan must be approved by the emperor before it can be implemented.

Two days later, Niu Gao sent people back to the capital and handed over the Tweeting Order plan to the emperor.

At the same time, Gao Jin's army continued to conquer the Naiman tribe in the west, and the [-] army marched toward Jinshan in the northwest.

……

On Yongnan Island, Chanong, the special envoy of the Three Buddhas and Qi Kingdom, visited three times. The Nanyang Peacemaker of the Yong Dynasty finally reached a land transfer agreement with the Three Buddhas and Qi Kingdom.

According to the agreement, the Yong Dynasty invested 1 taels of silver to purchase [-] miles of land and its affiliated islands on the Malacca Peninsula for the construction of a trade city.

In fact, as early as two months ago, [-] Japanese laborers were transported to the Malacca peninsula and began to build a city in a bay. A large river directly flowed into the bay, bringing abundant fresh water.

Through a strait, you can directly enter the bay. This strait is today's Johor Strait. The Yong Dynasty actually built a city on the north shore of the Johor Strait. The reason is very simple, they need fresh water.

According to the agreement between the two parties, after the Yong Dynasty paid for the three hundred miles of land, it would also send troops to help the Three Buddhas and Qi Kingdom resist the invasion of the Zhuluo Kingdom.

Cao De asked with a smile: "Since the two sides are jointly defending against Zhu Luo's army, then I would like to know how many navy troops there are in the Three Buddhas Qi Kingdom?"

Chanon shook his head, "I'm not afraid to make you laugh, Sanfoqi has [-] troops on land, but no navy."

"That's strange, Sanfoqi is a country of islands, how can there be no navy?"

Chanon sighed and said, "Three Buddhas used to have a powerful navy and hundreds of warships, but they were all destroyed by the Zhuluo Kingdom 50 years ago. For 50 years, the Zhuluo Kingdom has been monitoring us through various means. The most famous is Pirates, several pirates are Zhuluo’s navy, once we start building warships, the pirates will come and destroy and burn them, so that we don’t dare to build warships anymore, because we are afraid that Zhuluo will send troops to interfere.”
