Before the expedition, although Gu Mingyuan had already understood the rumors of foreign tribes taking over Handan, it was only when the plain cavalry clashed that he realized how terrifying the rumors really were.
Among the seven major kingdoms in the north, Zhou Dynasty and Wei Kingdom are known as the strongest cavalry. But there is still a difference. The iron cavalry of the Great Zhou Dynasty were particularly good at charging and plundering formations. Wherever the iron cavalry passed, blood flowed into rivers and not even a blade of grass grew.
The cavalry of the Imperial Guard are particularly good at riding and shooting, and they are an extremely disgusting unit. Before the enemy army could reach them, they had already received several volleys of bows and arrows. Before they could get close, the Guards cavalry had already distanced themselves and fled.
If you chase, you will continue to be beaten. If you don't chase him, he will turn over and chase you to cum.
This kind of almost invincible cavalry team, if you choose to defend with armor, you will definitely not be able to catch up with him. But if you choose to charge lightly, you will be shot into a hedgehog before you even get close.
Therefore, as long as the northern countries have fought against Weiguo, they will be extremely disgusted with his cavalry. The best way to deal with them is to fortify the walls and clear the country so that they can return without success. Otherwise, the tactics of "the enemy retreats, we advance, the enemy advances, we retreat" are almost invincible in land warfare.
The Great Zhou cavalry scorned Weiguo's tactics. From top to bottom, the Dazhou believed in charging head-on and crushing the enemy's troops. They believed that doing so was the honor of a warrior.
But this time alone, the Great Zhou cavalry, known as the invincible charge in the northern plains, encountered a catastrophic blow. When the Great Zhou cavalry pushed across seven cities on the northern border of the Yan Kingdom, the Yan Kingdom finally launched a full-scale counterattack.
I saw billowing smoke and dust rushing in from the south. A few dozen miles away, the Zhou war horses began to become restless and uncontrollable.
Gu Mingyuan climbed up the stairs and looked into the distance. He was shocked when he saw that among the billowing smoke and dust were all Warcraft Cavalry! In that battle, the cavalry of the state of Yan rode monsters and pushed forward. The cavalry of the Zhou Dynasty even blindfolded their horses beforehand, but it was still to no avail. They were defeated like a mountain and all seven cities they occupied were recaptured by the state of Yan, and they were directly killed back to the two countries. At the border, the armor is abandoned.
The situation in the national war between the two countries immediately reversed, and the pressure was put on the Zhou side. Gu Mingyuan led his troops to retreat to the border and defend the city, dragging the war until the depth of winter, when the Yan State led its troops to return.
The two armies faced each other on the border between the two countries.
The arrival of deep winter in the north gave Gu Mingyuan time to breathe, allowing him to start planning a strategy against the Yan Kingdom's Warcraft Cavalry.
As the war rages on, the two countries' national strength is at stake.
The amount of food, grass and baggage required by the army was extremely large. Gu Mingyuan expected that the Yan State's monster mounts would eat meat. The logistics supply pressure of the Yan State's army was much greater than that of his side. He was determined to drag down the Yan State's supply lines, and then launch another war to capture the Yan State. The national city pool is camped at every step, with the sword pointed directly at Handan!
When big countries go to war, it is the small countries on the border that suffer.
Leaving aside which side we are on, no matter where the frontline war is fought, the supplies and food that the army needs must be collected from those small countries.
Before the winter came, Gu Mingyuan stood firm in the city and refused to leave, so that the Yan Kingdom's Warcraft Cavalry rampaged across the border, becoming unstoppable. The Yan army repeatedly bypassed the cities defended by the Zhou Dynasty and launched raids on the small border countries, causing devastating blows to the small vassal countries with a land area of less than a hundred miles.
So Bai Ze finally found a city and took Xiaoman into it. Everything he saw was devastated.
There are ruins everywhere in that city, and in the dilapidated houses on both sides of the long street, under the eaves, there are hungry and cold refugees everywhere. Along the way, this city shrouded in blizzards was lifeless. Refugees who had died of freezing huddled in the dirty corners of the city, and they had been bitten to pieces by wild dogs and rats.
"This man...please take pity on me and give me some food..." In the corner of the long street, an old man in tattered clothes, smelly, and covered with chilblains saw the two Bai Ze dressed neatly, with extraordinary faces, and strong bodies. If he had the courage to stumble up to the two of them, he would kneel down and beg.
Bai Ze couldn't bear it, so he stepped forward to give him a hand and said, "Old man, it doesn't have to be like this." After that, he looked at Xiaoman.
Xiaoman whispered: "Sir, the food we brought has been eaten long ago. Now we have nothing else except silver that can be used in the world."
"Please, sir, please have mercy on me..." The old man was frozen stiff by the cold winter, his face was pale, and he seemed to be hanging with only one breath left. He spoke feebly, and looked back at the dirty man huddled in the corner of the long street. He glanced at the child and said, "My poor little grandson... his parents just died in the war, and he is about to starve to death..."
Bai Ze glanced at the child at the corner of the long street. His exposed hands and feet were black and covered with hideous cracks from frostbite. In some places, pus was flowing out, and some wounds were deathly red, making it unbearable to look at.
At a glance, there were at least hundreds of miserable-looking refugees on both sides of this long street, apart from those who had frozen to death.
Bai Ze felt sad for a moment.
Behind the emperors, generals, ministers and celebrities recorded in the history books throughout the ages, there are all these piled up bones! One general succeeds and ten thousand bones wither. Since ancient times, whether it is a successful king or a defeated bandit, whether it is famous in history, behind the glory, the people of the world have always endured the unimaginable suffering.
Bai Ze silently transferred a ray of true energy into the old man's body, and told Xiaoman: "Then let's give them all the gold and silver we have. For us, the money on our left and right are all external possessions."
"Listen to the young master." Xiaoman also had a heavy face. Seeing this tragic situation, even though she had already thought that she was cold-blooded, she couldn't help but feel sad in her heart.
Xiaoman took out the broken silver from the storage bag and handed it to the old man.
When the old man saw this, he was so excited that he couldn't speak. He was held by Bai Ze's hand, and he couldn't kneel down to kowtow. For a long time, he kept talking about the great kindness of the two of them, which was unforgettable, and hurriedly ran to the corner of the long street to hug him. The child, who was numb from the cold, kept chanting: "It's saved, kid, get up...it's saved this time!"
This scene was seen by the refugees waiting to die on both sides of the long street. They crawled around and shouted words such as "Please have mercy on me" and begged the two for charity.
Bai Ze and Xiaoman both took out silver coins. Some of the silver coins were too large, so they crushed them and distributed them to the refugees who endured the cold. After a while, all the silver coins in their hands were scattered.
"Sir, miss, you are really living gods!"
"Mom, we are saved..."
"Thank you, sir, thank you, miss..."
"Master, there is no way I can repay the kindness of saving my life. I am willing to work like a cow or a horse in the next life to repay this kindness!"
"How much money is this? I can buy rice and noodles for several days!"
The homeless people on the long street got some silver and knelt down one after another to kowtow.
Bai Ze didn't want to do this, so he took Xiaoman and stepped out, and in an instant he was out of the long street.
When someone in the crowd discovered that the two figures had disappeared, they were so frightened that they fell to the ground and trembled: "Mo... Could it be that they are really living gods?!"
"This is the appearance of the Bodhisattva..."
In the long street, the refugees cried bitterly, then laughed, knelt down and worshiped for a long time, and then dispersed.
