"The war has begun. The Shanghujun has an order. Take one out of five and gather at the Shanghujun's tent immediately."
The old bald man frowned. Such a large mobilization must be a big battle. It seems that his losses this time are not small. After all, Yuanmeng has not summoned herdsmen to join the war on such a large scale for many years.
"Who are you fighting with?" Old Baldy asked loudly.
After all, there were quite a lot of targets that could have fought at this time. The Jin army was never the only one. Tuoba Wei and the Western Regions were all possible targets.
The person who delivered the order turned the horse's head and said: "With the Jin army." Then he ran towards the next tribe like crazy.
Hearing this, Old Baldy became somewhat worried.
The Jin army is not as big as the previous ones, and they are not just going to grab it if they want. There were not many super-large-scale wars between the Jin armies, but small-scale wars never ceased, but Yuanmeng did not take too many advantages.
In the hearts of the Yuan people, the Jin army was obviously a tough nut.
What Old Baldface really wants to fight is the Western Regions. I heard that those people in the Western Regions are real soft persimmons. A thousand men of theirs can fight against ten thousand of them. I heard that many of the brothers who participated in the war made a lot of windfall, and even There are also some brothers who have kidnapped their wives and come back.
But since the higher-ups have come with orders to fight the Jin army, Old Bald Hair must also respond at this time. When he was young, Old Bald Hair, like all the men on the grasslands, often went to the land of the Han Dynasty. stroll.
So Old Baldy personally blew the rallying horn, and all the herdsmen moved upon hearing the sound. The young man immediately took out his sword and gun from his tent, mounted his most majestic war horse, and met in front of Old Baldy's big tent.
Old Baldy's eldest son, Baldy Shuji, hurriedly ran to his father: "Who are you fighting with? How many soldiers and horses will be dispatched, and who will lead them?"
"Fight against the Jin army. One out of five will be drawn. You will lead the team this time."
Bald Tree is the most valiant and capable warrior in the tribe. Old Bald is already old, so he can only leave the matter of fighting on the battlefield to his most valiant son.
As soon as he heard that he was fighting against the Jin army and that he was leading the army, Bald-haired Shuji excitedly whistled on his horse. It is the time when you are young and the time to act recklessly. Precisely because the Jin Army is Yuan Meng's great enemy, if they can make a contribution in this battle and defeat any general of the Jin Army, it will be the fastest way to become famous in the grassland.
The young warriors of the clan gathered together. Old Baldy made some calculations. According to his population, he should send 4,000 troops. However, this time his son was facing a tough one after all, so he collected another 1,000 for his son. The quantity of 5,000 was collected.
Of course, the Bald Tribe is already a large tribe in the entire grassland. Among the super large tribes going up, the number in the entire grassland is limited.
Moreover, the owners of those very large tribes with a limited number cannot be mobilized by just Liu Yuan.
After the team was reorganized, the old bald man stood on the grass and looked up at his excited eldest son on the horse: "Go, go, bring back a large amount of salt tea and the crystal clear rice to our tribe. And that silky satin!”
Salt, tea, rice, silk and satin are all in short supply in the grasslands. If the grassland people want to exchange with merchants, they have to exchange real cattle, sheep and war horses.
Even if it is the cheapest rice, don’t forget that although Champa rice has appeared on the land of the Han Dynasty at this time, it is basically in the south. From the south, rice is used on the northernmost grasslands. Those greedy rice How could the merchants not ruthlessly slaughter these prairie people?
Merchants moved between the far south and the far north in order to earn the terrifying price difference in the middle.
And these things, even among Yuanmeng, can only be enjoyed by those with a certain status. Although Lao Baldfa has a large tribe with tens of thousands of people, salt, tea, rice, silk and satin, these things are not important to He is still extremely precious.
The bald-haired tree function excitedly promised his father on the horse: "Please do it, I will bring you a few carts of treasures from the Central Plains." Then he whistled on the horse and picked up the flag of his tribe. , leading 5,000 warriors, rumbled towards the guard Liu Yuan's tent.
The situation like the Bald-haired tribe is just a microcosm of the grassland. Liu Yuan issued a temporary summons to the surrounding tribes with his tribe as the center.
Although there is only one large tribe like the Bald Hair Tribe that can dispatch thousands of people, there are many medium-sized tribes that can touch hundreds of people. Even those small tribes can only send out a few dozen people, but The number of small tribes is also the largest among the grasslands.
One after another, tribal armed forces, full of joy, eager to kill powerful enemies with their teams, and hoping for rich captures, gathered together along the way like streams flowing into the sea. Everyone they knew and those they didn't know gathered together. They greeted each other excitedly on horseback, then sang cheerful songs and galloped forward.
After Liu Yuan took stock, there were 30,000 prairie warriors gathered here. Although Liu Yuan only has 15,000 regular cavalry in his hands, but with the addition of these 30,000 prairie warriors, it is enough to deal with many problems.
If pushed to the extreme, the war potential that can burst out in the grassland is truly terrifying.
Whether it is the Jin army or other princes in the Central Plains, at most they maintain the principle of recruiting one out of ten soldiers.
But as for the grassland, as long as they need it, the adult grassland men can mount their horses and fight. Even if pushed to the extreme, women and those old people can mount their horses.
Both the Central Plains and the grasslands are young men who have been raised up. How much fighting power will the people of the Central Plains have after they are temporarily raised into young men, which can promote agricultural civilization? But what about the grasslands from the nomadic civilization?
With 45,000 Cai Er Lang in his hands, Liu Yuan is no longer afraid of a head-on fight with Dou Xian, although he still doesn't know who the leader of the former army is?
After all, the Jin army had just entered a big war, and it had suffered considerable losses. Now, wars are still going on all over the border. Even if troops are sent in the direction of Liangzhou, Liu Yuan is still a figure at the level of the founding emperor. It can also be roughly judged that the Jin army in the direction of Liangzhou will never exceed a certain range.
Forty-five thousand people, even if 30,000 of them could not compare with the combat power of the Yuanmeng regular army, he still had the confidence to fight Dou Xian.
