Chapter 84 Preliminary idea of ??grassland supply station

The battle against Linke's troops can be said to be very successful. After one battle, Zhao Yun lost nearly a thousand people. After all, he was a new recruit who had just started on the battlefield, and these casualties were inevitable.

But the opposite is the richness of the battle results. After killing more than 5,000 enemies, Lin Ke's troops were completely disbanded, countless tribes fled in panic, and the remaining cavalry in the tribe did not dare to fight again, so they could only ride on war horses and flee far away.

Zhao Yun led the people to kill him several times, and only after everyone ran away did he order to stop the attack. As for those who ran away, he didn't want to care about it, nor could he do it. The grassland is too big, and it's really hard to chase you if you want to run away.

The terrain is not familiar, so if you encounter other Xianbei tribes in a scattered pursuit, it will be troublesome.

The people of Linke tribe fled in a hurry, and most of the supplies in the tribe fell into Zhao Yun's hands. The biggest harvest was war horses, which were nearly 7,000 cattle and sheep, as well as countless food, gold and silver.

If every soldier who died in battle could find his body, he would bring back by Pao Ze. As for the supplies in Linke's army, the war horses only took the war horses, and a small number of cattle and sheep, and were only prepared to take them back to improve the food.

Take away what can be taken away, and what cannot be taken away will not be destroyed. Fighting to support the war is not to kill everything.

If you want to learn to raise pigs scientifically, you will lose all your family’s assets at once. That’s a one-time deal, and there will be nothing to grab next time.

Five days later, Zhao Yun led the remaining 4,100 people back to Yunzhong County and entered from Qinghu City.

The war horses, cattle and sheep, wealth, food, and the materials seized in the battle were extremely abundant. The people of Qinghu City burst into a shocking cheer!

After so many years, the people on the border have been suffering from the destruction of the Xianbei. Now they finally see hope and countless people cry with joy.

For Zhao Yun, the most important thing to gain from killing the Xianbei is the war horse!

When we left, we had 5,000 people and 5,000 war horses, nearly 1,000 casualties, but four or five hundred war horses were recovered. In addition to the seized war horses, we had more than 13,000 war horses in our hands at this moment!

If all these war horses are used, he can form a cavalry unit with more than 10,000 people. Next time, if he encounters a Xianbei tribe like Linke's army, he will not need to use any strategy at all and just take the people to crush them.

When he returned to Yunzhong County, Zhao Yun immediately summoned Xun You, Gao Shun and others and asked them to arrange the post-war affairs, especially the funeral of the soldiers who died in battle, and must be buried in a grand manner. If there are family members, the pension work must be done well, and the compensation that should be given must be given.

Dian Wei felt very uncomfortable when he saw Zhao Yun Kaixuan, and he also wanted to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy!

"Master, will you take me with me next time?"

Zhao Yun was in a good mood and quipped with a smile: "Then you practice riding well. When you can play fifty moves with me on the war horse, I will take you there. How about it?"

Dian Wei's face turned dark: "Riding is easy to practice, the key is that there is no such a good horse! My pair of escalators totaled 160 kilograms, and I also have 200 kilograms. Where can there be any war horse that can carry me?"

Panlong's double halberds had eighty kilograms, which was 16. Dian Wei weighed about 200 kilograms. In addition, his armor still had dozens of kilograms, which all added up to nearly 400 kilograms. Only Zhao Yun's Yezhao Jade Lion could bear it a little, and it could not last long.

Therefore, Dian Wei's horse usually only carries him one person, and his weapons are handed over to his personal guards. The two heroes recruited by Chen Liujiwu who followed him specially brought him weapons, one man and one handle.

From this perspective, Dian Wei basically said goodbye to Ma Zhan in his life!

Gao Shun said from the side: "Actually, it's not necessary to let Lao Dian go. At worst, it's time to fight. For example, when attacking the Linke Xianbei tribe, Lao Dian can play a role when fighting in the tribe. When you are on a hurry, just give him two good horses, one to carry people and the other to carry weapons, which can still be operated."

Dian Wei's eyes lit up: "It's still Zhongda's brain that works well, lord, how about it?"

Zhao Yun thought for a while and said, "Then let's say that first, it depends on the situation in the future."

Xun You said: "The lord is probably going to make a decision early on this matter."

Zhao Yun was stunned: "Why?"

Xun You: "Because Lin Ke's tribe is already the closest tribe to the border of the Han Dynasty, if we want to attack again, we may need to go deep into the grassland thousands of miles to find the target. When the emperor sent Xia Yu and others to fight, they attacked more than 2,000 miles outside the border! Although we can't hit that deep for the time being, it's good to prepare early. In the future, we need to travel a long distance, and the food and grass with us will become a problem!"

"This time, I brought the dry food when I went there, and went to the place to fight. I won, and brought the seized food back. There is no need to worry. But in the future, I have to travel thousands of miles at any time, and it is absolutely not feasible to just bring the dry food from the soldiers."

Zhao Yun nodded, this was indeed a problem.

"What do you think you should do?"

Xun You smiled and said, "I remember what energy supply stations my lord said before? We can use this model to build several such supply stations on the grassland, keeping the distance between each other at about 300 miles, or it can be shorter. Each supply station has some soldiers stations to build one line of defense after another. In this way, not only can we be at ease when attacking, but if the Xianbei wants to take the initiative to attack, they also need to break through these lines of defense to get close to the border. It can be said that they kill two birds with one stone!"

Zhao Yun said: "The solution is a good solution, but have you ever thought about how vast the grassland is on the grassland? How big can the supply station be? If the Xianbei wants to take the initiative to attack, even if it does not break through our defense line, it can easily bypass it. What's more, how many people can a supply station be stationed? Wouldn't this give the Xianbei the opportunity to break through each one?"

"Besides, if these supply stations are really established, if the Xianbei uses this as a medium to lay a trap for us, then do you think we should drill or not? Then even though we know there is danger, we will have to get into the trap of others, because the lifeblood of food is in their hands!"

"We may be able to go deep into the grassland for three thousand miles through the supply station. But once the other party cuts off or even blocks the food channel, the army that goes deep into the grassland will have no way out!"

Xun You said: "I have considered this carefully. I think it is actually feasible. First, there is no need to be a large number of supply stations, either 300 or 500 miles apart. Anyway, our army deep into the grassland is all cavalry, and even if it is five hundred miles apart, it can be transferred within two days. If the number of supply stations is not large, it means that we will invest a little more people in each supply station. For example, if there are 3,000 people in a supply station and the fortifications are intact, at least 10,000 Xianbei cavalry will be able to break through."

"After all, the strength of the cavalry lies in the encounter battle, and the attack is the absolute weakness of the cavalry!"

Gao Shun nodded: "If the Xianbei really wants to use the supply station to cause trouble, then we can use the supply station as bait to lure them into a trap. We ambush them on the side and can also cause severe damage to the other party!"
