Chapter 134 Expedition
After hearing Tian Chou's words, Lu Ning thought to himself: Yes, if it were the Xianbei Tartars, who would have used snow walls to block the army's attack as Zitai said, Lu Ning's army would not be able to deal with them.
Lu Ning said: "If it is really like Zitai said, then our winter battle may be gone. At most, it is to harass it, and it is probably not very effective."
After hearing this, Zhao Yun said, "Brother, Zitai's talk about the big camp is a fact. Our army's scouts have already reconnaissed. The Xianbei Tartars are now using wood and wooden sticks to surround the camp. However, each of their tribes chooses a place with water sources to camp, and they just leave an exit in the place where they fetch water."
Lu Ning said: "There is no way to do this. As long as the Xianbei Tartars do not use Zitai to surround the camp with snow walls, then we still have hope of eliminating them. If the Tartars also think of Zitai's snow wall methods, then we have to cancel the winter battle."
Dian Wei asked, "Lord, there is really no other way?"
Lu Ning shook his head and said, "No more, the snow wall can be built several feet high. How can we get in? Go open the snow wall. Wouldn't you wait for the Tartars to shoot us with bows and arrows? This way, the casualties of our soldiers are too great and not worth it. So why not wait until the spring is over before dealing with them."
After hearing this, Tian Chou said, "The lord doesn't need to regain your heart. I have been studying how to deal with our army's combat in the snow since last year. It was not until a few days ago that the scouts reported that the Tartars were using wood and big trees to build fences. I thought that the Tartars might not have thought of this method."
Lu Ning thought for a while and said, "If the Tartars did not use snow walls, they were just wooden fences, so they would not have much effect. We could attack at night, open the fence from where they fetched water, and then go in and massacre. Besides, in such a cold day, would the Tartars really send a large number of guards? Even if there were guards, they would definitely be on guards while burning the fire. If they didn't, anyone could stand it. It would be frozen into popsicles in less than half an hour."
It was snowing, and Zhao Yun and Dian Wei were busy training soldiers to learn skiing, allowing soldiers to adapt to the individual combat capabilities of the snow, and strengthen the cooperation between bows, archers, shields, spearmen, and swords. This winter attack, Lu Ning felt that the Xianbei Tartars seemed to be prepared. After all, the Lu Ning army had a great blow to the Xianbei Tartars last winter, and the Tartars would also come up with a way to defeat the Lu Ning army in order to survive. The Lu Ning army can only take tonics now. If they are not careful, they will suffer great losses. The Lu Ning army cannot afford to lose.
After more than ten days of training, the soldiers have basically adapted to fighting on the snow, and their cooperation has also achieved certain results, and their skiing skills have been mastered. Zhao Yunlai said to me: "Brother, you can go to fight, and the soldiers are now very morale."
Lu Ning said: "How are the various weapons and equipment prepared?"
Tian Chou said: "Master, all are ready."
Lu Ning said: "We will not divide the troops this time when we go to the battle. I guess we will be subject to strong resistance. Once we divide the troops, our army will not be able to form an advantage in the battlefield. We should use the advantageous forces to eliminate the Tatar tribes one by one. How much can we eliminate is calculated as much as we can, so it is safer."
After hearing this, Zhao Yun said, "Brother, let's eat the largest of the five Xianbei tribes first. They have a population of more than 20,000 to 30,000 people. It is estimated that their troops are only about 10,000, and the others are women, young and old. As for the other four tribes, there are only 10,000 or 20,000 people."
Lu Ning said: "Okay, Zitai led 5,000 troops to guard Dai County. Zilong and I, Ziman, led 10,000 troops to set off tomorrow. You can go and prepare first."
Zhao Yun, Tian Chou, and Dian Wei said, "It's the lord."
The Lu Ning Army scouts were guides. They were proficient in the geographical environment. The Lu Ning Army walked through mountains and forests, advancing rapidly. The snow on the ground was very thick, which was very suitable for sliding. It started to snow again. The snowflakes were scattered in the pine forests, the mountains and wooden houses on the roadside, dressing the earth white. The ups and downs and downs and the dynamics of the silver snake dancing in the mountains made a group of villains excitedly rushing to kill and set fire to be fascinated and fascinated, and almost forgot to ski.
Like the soldiers, Lu Ning was skating forward on his own on his snowboard. He waved his hands with snow poles proudly and shouted: "Brothers, eliminate the Xianbei Tartars. This land in the northern prairie is ours. Do you like it?"
The soldiers also responded loudly: "I like it!"
Lu Ning thrust: "Okay, destroy the Tartar tribe, all the gold, silver and treasures belong to us, and women are ours. We firmly implement the Three Lights Policy. Then everyone will continue to carry out the great integration of ethnic groups and make the Tartar women's belly bigger as soon as possible. You should work harder. This is a battle on an alternative battlefield, and you should also take it seriously."
The soldiers were overjoyed and said in unison: "Thank you for your kindness, let's kill you, snatch it all and burn it all!"
Lu Ning was feeling good and laughed wildly: "Wow, hahahaha..."
Lu Ning was so proud that he accidentally lost his balance. Lu Ning hurriedly opened the tail of the board and tried to brake, but there was no time. Lu Ning was so arrogant that he let go of his hands and slid. It was not a problem to let go of his hands. The problem was that Lu Ning waved his snow pole to the sky with both hands. He immediately rolled and climbed again, and it happened to go downhill again, rolling forward like a snowball, and then hit a large snow-covered pine tree. The pine tree was shocked, and the large snow fell down and buried Lu Ning. Then a pine nut still hanging on the tree fell down in time, falling on the snow pile to give the finishing touch.
Everyone was in chaos immediately and rushed forward to rescue. Many people lost their balance and immediately rolled down, tripping many people behind them.
With a loud bang, Lu Ning burst into the snow and spit out a mouthful of snow. When he saw the chaotic scene that looked like a ghost, he couldn't help laughing. The soldiers also laughed, and the laughter rushed to the clouds. This was not to go to war, it was simply the outskirts of winter.
There were more than a thousand dogs following Lu Ning's army. They were of different sizes and colors, and their tails were rolled upwards, which were so cute. They dragged two hundred spare military supplies vehicles in one unit, and were extremely hard-working and running. Lu Ning and his team had a speed of 20 to 30 miles per hour, and their dogs were almost half as fast as Lu Ning's army, and they tried hard to pull the sled forward.
The soldiers were full of energy and the dogs were energetic. Lu Ning's army arrived in Baideng for a short rest. In the dilapidated and uninhabited village of Baideng, the Lu Ning's scouts prepared a large amount of firewood before it snowed heavily. The soldiers set fire to rest, eat something to replenish their energy.
