Chapter 81 The battle is about to start!
Judging from the information I found before, Lin Ke's troops are now facing a great enemy. Ling Lin Ke has sent ten teams of scouts to look for warning around the tribe.
Because the war within the Xianbei region has begun, for those large tribes with tens of thousands of people and tens of thousands of troops, a small tribe like Linke tribe with only tens of thousands of people and five thousand troops is really not enough to see.
Every time there is a great war within the grassland nation, if the war swept across the entire nation, tribes like the Linke tribe have different choices in different periods.
The first time period is when the war just began, and they had two choices. One is to find a large tribe that is quite reliable or is fond of, rely on each other, follow each other to fight, and gain a future.
But you can just think about what kind of situation this choice will face. When it comes to war, let your people rush to the forefront, and when there are benefits, your people will stand aside.
So generally speaking, small tribes rarely participate in the war in the early stages of the war.
The second option is naturally to hide if you can. You can hide as long as you can. It is best not to participate in the battle forever, and to show your loyalty when the big guys finish fighting.
The second time period is when the internal war is about to end.
At that time, either the king was about to be decided or the king was already chosen. At this time, in order to strengthen one's own strength, large tribes would threaten, induce, and coerce. In short, they would do everything possible to seek the help of these small tribes.
In short, once this war for the "throne" is reached, as long as it is a tribe, there is nothing that can be avoided.
Compared to those large tribes, the Linke tribe is really weak. So now they are basically in a trembling state. It is best not to find me. You fight first, and I will observe the situation on the edge.
Lin Ke has been having a relatively easy life recently because he is in the closest place to the Han Dynasty, not in the depths of the grassland or in the center of the battle, and the impact he has received is not large, and it is still stable for the time being.
Although he sent so many scouts, he was actually quite relieved. Judging from the current situation, although the battlefield was fierce, it would take some time to spread to his Linke's troops.
Therefore, Lin Ke's tribe is actually tight on the outside and loose on the inside, so the warning that should be kept is essential, but the tribesmen are not nervous.
Zhao Yun arrived in two days at a distance of 600 miles.
If he made up his mind, he would actually arrive in one day. After all, the five thousand people under his command were all cavalrymen.
But if you spend all your energy on the road, it will be more than worth the effort.
The next afternoon, as the night approached, Zhao Yun came to the outside of Linke's army alone, about twenty miles away from Linke's army, and quietly investigated.
Five thousand cavalry were dozens of miles behind him. Ye Zhao's jade lion's feet were not comparable to ordinary war horses. He naturally had to use this advantage to find a place for his brothers.
Bypassing the scouts from Linke's army, Zhao Yun found a pretty good location.
The terrain on the grassland is not very good. Although there are occasional ups and downs, most places are plains with unobstructed views.
There is a rolling hillside more than 30 miles northwest of Linke tribe. The slope of the hillside just exceeds that of Linke tribe. If you rest in this place for a night, it is unlikely that Linke tribe will appear.
Zhao Yun nodded with satisfaction, turned around and joined the army.
It was not until late at night that the crowd carefully arrived at the place Zhao Yun had seen before. With the order, everyone dismounted and rested, and stayed with the war horses. The soldiers did not remove their armor, the weapons were kept away, and they slept in a garment.
Zhao Yun took five thousand men to discuss.
"At dawn tomorrow, I will lead five hundred elite cavalry to attack Linke's army and lure them to pursue. Team one, two, and three are all ambushing here. As long as they chase after them, they will immediately fight out and fight back with me. At the same time, Team four and five are around this hillside and ambushing in advance to the northeast of Linke's army. Once the enemy flees, you will immediately intercept and kill them."
"After killing the pursuers, the large troops gathered together and directly attacked Linke's troops!"
Zhao Yun’s arrangement was very simple, but he was actually head-on, but he just used a little trick. It was not that he was not smart enough, but that the terrain on the grassland really didn’t have much room to swim.
In addition, most of the five thousand cavalry were recruits. Although they had been training for nearly a year, they had no practical experience. The night attack had too high requirements for soldiers, and Zhao Yun dared not bet. If these soldiers were confused due to the weather, it would be troublesome.
Moreover, this battle must be decided. The dry food and water on them are only enough for five days, so it is still a waste of time, otherwise the horses will not be able to bear the burden.
So they couldn't delay, and Zhao Yun was not allowed to make more solutions in terms of time.
The five thousand-man commanders were all strong men who were recruited by the way when they recruited Dian Wei. They were all born with divine power and were the few people Zhao Yun valued the most. At that time, a total of seven people were recruited. These five people served as thousand-man commanders in the cavalry team, and the remaining two served as deputy commanders in Dian Wei's direct troops.
After Zhao Yun finished speaking, the five people nodded together, and then sent someone to watch, and the large army began to rest.
The next day, just dawned, smoke from Linke's troops had already risen, and the ethnic groups on the grassland were still very healthy in terms of life and daily life.
But it's still early now, and even the Xianbei people have not risen up.
Zhao Yun had been waiting for a long time. Seeing that it was dawn, he immediately gathered five hundred elite cavalry and charged towards Lin Ke's troops.
These five hundred people were the five hundred cavalry who followed him to kill Ge Yuan's army. They followed Zhao Yun for the longest time and had experienced the most battles. They are definitely the most elite group of people under Zhao Yun's command. Zhao Yun is also the most skilled leader.
With a radiant silver spear in hand, a ray of night-zhao jade lion, and a silver lion armor awarded by Emperor Ling of Han, Zhao Yun took the lead and rushed towards Linke's troops.
The distance of more than thirty miles is not far from the cavalry's charge. In the state of full charge, it took less than a quarter of an hour to reach a place only five miles away from Linke's troops.
Five hundred cavalry charged forward, and the momentum was not huge, but it was definitely enough to arouse the attention of the scouts of Linke's tribe and alarm the cavalry of Linke's tribe.
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!"
Some Xianbei cavalry shouted Xianbei and shouted loudly among Linke's troops. Linke's troops reacted quickly in preparation. Before Zhao Yun and others rushed to Linke's troops, they had already assembled more than two thousand people to prepare for the battle. Each of them carried a sabre and prepared to fight under the leadership of Ling Linke.
Han people?
When Zhao Yun and his men rushed to the front of Linke's army hundreds of meters, Linke frowned deeply.
He had already known the news about the demise of Ge Yuan's tribe last year, and there were even many people from Ge Yuan's tribe who came to join him. He knew the news from those people.
When Lin Ke learned that Ge Yuan's troops were disbanded by the Han army, he was actually very angry. When did the Han people, who had always been weak, dare to take the initiative?
It’s just that the internal situation of the Xianbei was too chaotic at that time, and Lin Ke didn’t have the time to deal with Zhao Yun.
But unexpectedly, he actually came here on his own initiative?
Thinking of this, Lin Ke was angry, raised the weapon in his hand and shouted: "It's the Han army, just a group of waste, warriors, kill with me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed towards Zhao Yun, and more than two thousand soldiers gathered behind him also charged out at the same time.
The cavalry on both sides charged very quickly, and a distance of only a few hundred meters passed in the blink of an eye.
A big battle is about to hit!
