In the northern border of the Great Zhou Empire, a well-equipped heavy cavalry is slowly marching.
There are about 3,000 people in this army, each wearing heavy armor and holding a sharp spear and scimitar.
Where they passed, countless pedestrians retreated one after another, because the murderous aura on them was too heavy.
"General, after walking fifty miles ahead, Binggu’s sect is located. After two days of Binggu, you can reach the frontier army station,” a scout came to the front of the army next to Huo Qubing. Tao.
This heavy cavalry is the Tiger Ben Legion. A few days after starting from the Imperial City, they will arrive at the frontier army station in the northern part of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Huo Qubing heard the words and said to the soldiers around him: "Order the troops, not to disturb the people of Ice Valley."
Most of the sects of Ice Valley have gone to the imperial city, but there are still a small number of disciples who choose to stay at the sect.
Now that they have been loyal to the empire, Huo Qubing certainly cannot let the soldiers disturb them.
The people in Binggu are all beautiful women. Although the Tigers and Cardinals have strict military discipline, Huo Qubing still needs to warn him to avoid making mistakes.
After the scout left, Huo Qubing said to Luo Cheng next to him: "General Luo Cheng, we are going to the barracks of the northern frontier soon, what do you think?"
Luo Cheng thought for a while and said: "The final will be dull, and he has not yet figured out how to deal with the 300,000 frontier troops."
Although Luo Cheng is older than Huo Qubing, Huo Qubing is the coach of the Tigers, so he maintains sufficient respect for the opponent.
And through this conversation, Luo Cheng also admired Huo Qubing's military talent very much, so he became more and more respectful.
Huo Qubing didn't ask Luo Cheng again. Instead, he looked into the distance and said meaningfully: "Luo Cheng, in fact, my idea is not to go to the border army for the time being. Let's take a detour to the grassland to see the fierce barbarians, how about?"
Huo Qubing's words made Luo Cheng hesitate: "General, your Majesty asked us to go to the north in order to subdue the military power of the frontier army. If we detour into the grassland halfway, I am afraid we will be charged with disobeying the emperor's order."
Huo Qubing shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty asked us to take back the military power of the northern frontier army, but he has never said how to take it back, so no matter what we do, as long as we achieve the goal, we are not considered disobedience."
Luo Cheng thought for a while, and found that Huo Qubing's words were indeed reasonable, so he asked: "Then I don't know what the general thinks?"
Huo Qubing asked instead: "Do you think we are going to the frontier army now and how likely is it to regain military power?"
Luo Cheng didn't know where he was, and he could only answer: "It's minimal. The northern frontier army is different from other armies of the Great Zhou Empire. They fight with the grassland tribes all the year round, so their personality is also extremely unruly."
"Although you and I are very strong and can easily sack and kill their leader, these frontier soldiers will never surrender to us, and may even launch retaliatory attacks against us, which will be in trouble."
As a leading general, he still understands this very well. Let’s not say that they have a 100 to 1 ratio of the number of people to the frontier army. They are just the temperament of the northern frontier army, which is not afraid of death. It is not easy to subdue. of.
Although the combat effectiveness of this kind of army is very strong, and they are also appreciated by generals, but in today's situation, this style of work has become an obstacle to them.
Huo Qubing smiled and said, "Since we went to the barracks and couldn't subdue them, then why should we do this for nothing?"
Luo Cheng pondered for a moment, and then said: "The general still doesn't understand, so please tell the army clearly."
Huo Qubing finally stopped playing dumb fans: "You have just said that the north is wild and unruly, with a strong personality, but they also admire the strong. If they can't prove our ability, they will never be able to give in, so I thought about it. A way to prove to them our strength."
Huo Qu’s words have reached this point, Luo Cheng also understands a little bit, he said with some worry: "General, you should know the strength of the Vulture Tribe, that is equivalent to the superpower of the dynasty level, our district has three thousand troops entering the grassland. Is it really appropriate?"
Luo Cheng is not afraid of death. As Huo Qubing's deputy, he has the obligation to persuade Huo Qubing to stay calm.
Huo Qubing explained: "The strength of the Vulture Tribe is indeed not inferior to that of the dynasty, but this does not mean that the barbarians close to my border are very strong."
"As far as I know, most of the really powerful sub-tribes in the Vulture Tribe are located around their royal court, which is equivalent to the capital city, and the royal court is millions of miles away from my Dazhou. I am interested in managing the affairs of Da Zhou."
"Although these small tribes close to Da Zhou have a large number of people, their real strength is only on the front line better than my Da Zhou. In addition, the vast terrain of the grassland is very suitable for cavalry maneuver operations. At that time, we will adopt the method of harassment operations. The numerical advantage of those barbarians will disappear."
Huo Qubing in this world has the memory of living on the northern border for more than ten years, and he is very familiar with the grasslands and the barbarians.
His method of guerrilla warfare is also based on the previous habit of barbarians looting the surrounding people. It can be said to be based on the way of human beings, and also to rule the people.
However, Luo Cheng was still worried: "Although the Vulture Tribe doesn’t care about this grassland, if we really do this, will it cause a strong bomb from the Vulture Tribe? At that time, with the power of the Great Week, we will face it. A super power equivalent to a dynasty, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble to your Majesty..."
Huo Qubing shook his head and said: "There is no need to worry about this. Even though our massacre of the grassland barbarians will really attract the attention of the bald eagle tribe and its subordinate tribes, they are at best mobilizing some small tribes to fight against the big ones. Zhou’s war is not a direct battle to destroy the country.”
"From the perspective of the terrible relationship between the human race and the barbarians, if the surrounding forces of the Vulture Tribe's royal court dare to personally intervene in this small-scale friction, then this war will evolve into a dynasty-level war."
"This is not what the Jagged Dynasty wants to see, nor is it what the Vulture Tribe wants to see, so it is completely unnecessary for the great forces of the Vulture Tribe to intervene."
Luo Cheng thought for a while, and felt that what Huo Qubing said was true. He couldn't help asking: "Then we should continue to the North Border Garrison now or make a diversion..."
Huo Qubing said solemnly: "Order the troops to bypass the northern frontier army station after passing through the ice valley. Let's go directly to the grassland!"
The original plan was overturned by Huo Qubing, and he started a crazy and bold plan.
Two days later, the three thousand tiger and ben army regiments and Luo Cheng's Yanyun eighteen riders bypassed the garrison of the northern frontier army of the Great Zhou and came to the vast grassland.
At the same time, in the northern army commander's account stationed in Cold City, a scout was reporting the latest military situation to the northern army's senior general.
"Enlighten the Marshal, according to the news from the frontline secret post, this morning a heavy cavalry of about 3,000 men bypassed our defense zone and went straight to the grassland."
