As the border between Chu State and Dawan, beyond Yinshan Mountain is the boundless grassland, which is the world of Dawan people.
More than a hundred years ago, Tan Yuanchang, the then king of Chang, led 30,000 Xiliang troops here to block Dawan's 50,000 cavalry under the Yin Mountains.
The Dawan tribe on the opposite side happened to have a heroic leader at that time - Hu Yanbi.
Huyanbi, in just three years, successfully brought together the Dawan tribes who were fighting each other at that time, bowed to him, and established the Dawan Royal Court, becoming the first true royal court in history.
The Dawan Khan.<
I heard that this Huyanbi was nine feet tall, burly and majestic, and possessed of divine power. He even raised his arms and knelt down when being pulled by five horses.
He can be called the number one warrior in Dawan.
Moreover, this guy is extremely talented and has a mastery of the art of war, and his cavalry skills are superb.
At that time, when the State of Chu was just beginning to open up, because Liang State and Kang State were at war, the Dawan clan took advantage of the situation. Hu Yanbi led 50,000 cavalry from Xiliang and broke through the pass all the way to Kyoto.
In just three days, three major cities and five small cities were captured by them.
At that time, King Chang was at war with the state of Kang. At the time of the crisis in Kyoto, the Emperor of Chu, who had just ascended the throne and was still not sitting on the throne, personally went into battle with a gun to withstand the offensive of the state of Kang. However, King Chang could only carry the only weapon that could still be used.
Thirty thousand troops were mobilized to expel the Dawan clan.
Infantry cannot defeat cavalry. This was a saying that everyone agreed with at that time.
With the same number, infantry will be defeated by cavalry.
The only thing that can deal with cavalry is cavalry.
At that time, among the 30,000 Xiliang troops, there were only more than 5,000 cavalry.
Even the Emperor of Chu thought that his country of Chu, which had only been founded for less than a year, would be thrown into the dust by history. By then, he did not know how history would describe Chu's experience.
At that time, Kang and Liang were having a dispute over how to annex Chu. When they learned that Dawan actually wanted to pick peaches at this time, they were furious.
The two countries reached a tacit understanding and tightened their military strength. This allowed Chu State to take a breather and reluctantly mobilized 30,000 troops to resist Dawan.
How could the Emperor of Chu at that time not know the ambitions of these two countries?
The so-called snipe and clam compete for the fisherman's profit.
The two countries just didn't want Dawan to take advantage, so this allowed them to deploy their troops to deal with it.
Their original intention was to let Chu's troops compete with Dawan again. In this case, Chu's soldiers would definitely go all out to deal with the cavalry.
At that time, these 30,000 troops will definitely be wiped out in the battle with the cavalry.
But Dawan can’t even think about getting anything good.
In a fight to the death, Huyanbi will definitely suffer heavy losses.
By then, having lost 30,000 troops and Tan Yuanchang, the Chu State's military god at that time, Chu State would be nothing more than meat on a eucalyptus board, and could be cut into pieces as desired.
At that time, both Liang State and Kang State had already regarded Chu State as their own. In their plans, Chu State was basically bound to lose. Therefore, what they have to do now is to reduce the damage of the war so that they will not be defeated by their own.
"Allies" get the advantage.
Even when the Dawan clan got involved later, their appetite even increased a little.
They planned to try to see if they could swallow Dawan in one piece.
And in this case.
As expected, there was an accident.
This accident shattered their eyes.
At that time, King Chang, with only these 30,000 troops, actually developed a new method of cooperative combat between infantry, chariot and cavalry.
In addition, these Xiliang troops at that time already understood that this battle was a narrow escape when they went out.
But Tan Yuanchang's prestige and charm were too great at that time.
Almost all of the 30,000 Xiliang troops fought with Tan Yuanchang with the determination to die.
The ambition to be trapped will lead to death but not life!
At that moment, the morale of the Xiliang Army was unanimous, inspiring unprecedented fighting spirit!
Therefore, with this military spirit, new combat methods and Tan Yuanchang's exquisite war command were added.
Hu Yanbi, who thought he was invincible, hit his head so hard in front of Tan Yuanchang that his blood flowed.
The hero was still young at that time. If he had been given another period of time, perhaps Chu would have turned into a piece of history.
But there is no if in reality.
This hero is overconfident, and the unity of the Dawan clan has given him unparalleled self-confidence.
He believed that he was the Khan of the world and was destined to rule all regions.
So, he expanded.
Although his ability is indeed very strong, in the early stage, when Tan Yuanchang had not developed new tactics, he was defeated one after another.
With a strength of 30,000, one-sixth of the force was lost in just a few days of fighting.
But Huyanbi is almost intact.
This made him swell even more.
Then, he was taught a lesson.
Under Tan Yuanchang's new tactics, he was fooled the first time.
The Dawan cavalry retreated for the first time.
Nearly a thousand cavalry were injured.
Seeing Tan Yuanchang starting to set up positions on the land that he had originally conquered, Hu Yanbi just shouted that this was unscientific.
So, he rushed again.
Then more than 3,000 cavalry were damaged, and Tan Yuanchang's cavalry increased from 4,000 to 6,000 with their horses.
Moreover, they only lost nearly a hundred infantrymen.
Hu Yanbi had never encountered such a setback, and the two failures made him sober up.
And he is indeed the person who can become the first Heavenly Khan of the Dawan clan.
After he regained consciousness, he decisively wanted to withdraw the cavalry from Chu State territory.
He planned to go back and make some repairs, and then make plans after careful consideration.
And once he successfully exits, with this failure experience, he will definitely find a way to deal with this new tactic next time he appears again.
With Liang and Kang's contempt for Dawan, in the end, it's really hard to say who will be the leader in the world.
How could Tan Yuanchang not understand these truths?
After the battle, he discovered that Hu Yanbi was truly a genius in transporting troops.
If he hadn't had an idea later and came up with a new tactic, they would have been completely wiped out by now, and there would have been no victory.
But he has also discovered that the Dawan Khan seems to have figured out something. Once he is allowed to leave, the Chu Kingdom will basically be over.
Therefore, at that time, Tan Yuanchang gritted his teeth and pursued the Dawan cavalry with less than 30,000 Xiliang troops all the way to the foot of Yinshan Mountain.
At the foot of Yinshan Mountain, Tan Yuanchang took personal risks and set up a trap to lure Huyanbi into taking the bait.
As expected, Huyanbi was still young, so he didn't eat too much.
The key is that when he was escaping, he actually came up with a new tactical method to deal with Tan Yuanchang.
And this method is exactly the flaw that Tan Yuanchang used.
Yes, Tan Yuanchang directly exposed the flaws in his tactics. Hu Yanbi was able to come up with this method so early, and Tan Yuanchang deserves a lot of credit.
Faced with his own flaw, Tan Yuanchang set up a killing trap using himself as bait!
This killing tactic might even take him away altogether.
The generals who accompanied him were firmly opposed to this idea.
But Tan Yuanchang is afraid!
He is so scared!
The more he thought about it during this period, the more he felt that once Huyanbi escaped, Chu would be destroyed in an instant.
In that case, both his and Chu Yuan's life ambitions will be in vain.
The people who were originally meant to be protected will also be under threat of death.
Therefore, in the end, Tan Yuanchang convinced all the upper-level officials of the Xiliang Army, and even directly told all the soldiers the plan.
As soon as the soldiers heard that Tan Yuanchang actually wanted to use his life as bait, even if he died, he would protect Chu State, everyone's eyes turned red for a moment.
If there is a general like this, where can I find a scholar?
I can only promise it with my life!
It was through this incident that the iron-blooded military spirit of the Xiliang Army was condensed.
Hu Yanbi is still young.
When Tan Yuanchang used himself as bait, he still couldn't hold it back.
He naturally knew that this was probably a trap.
But young.
When I was young, I always liked to gamble.
Just like when he became the Heavenly Khan of Dawan, he also gambled many times during this period.
But before, every time he made a bet, he succeeded, and finally became the Heavenly Khan who unified Dawan.
Such luck made him feel that he was truly blessed by heaven and had destiny.
So, he finally took a gamble.
And this time.
failed.
A huge defeat.
Under Tan Yuanchang's design, Huyanbi was deeply surrounded.
Tan Yuanchang, regardless of his own safety, traded his life for his life, blocked the knife with his own chest, and shot Hu Yanbi directly from the lower jaw to Tianling Gai.
A generation of Dawan heroes, he might have made great achievements, but he was strangled in the cradle by Tan Yuanchang.
When Hu Yanbi died, the entire Dawan cavalry fell into a riot on the spot.
Without a leader, Tan Yuanchang, dragging his wounds, killed all but 20,000 of the 50,000 cavalrymen and fled back to the Xiliang Plain.
The Xiliang army was also reduced to only more than 10,000 troops.
But with these more than 10,000 troops, after Tan Yuanchang was injured and rescued by the army, and miraculously saved one life, through Tan Yuanchang's strategy in the tent, 10,000 troops were returned to the Chu State and the battleground between the two countries.
The Xiliang Iron Army was so powerful that it shocked the world!
Tan Yuanchang mainly focused on these ten thousand iron-blooded veterans who had already surrendered their lives to him. Through the new tactics he learned after the battle with Huyanbi, his command methods and strategies almost jumped to a higher level compared to before.
.
And every time he uses his strategy, the right time, place, people and people can always be controlled by him.
It's like a divine help.
As a result, the Xiliang Iron Army did not suffer a defeat after that. Liang and Kang were directly defeated by it, and they could only sign an alliance agreement with Chu to recognize Chu's status.
After pacifying Liang and Kang, he took the Xiliang Iron Army, which had been reorganized to 100,000, and attacked the King's Court of Dayuan directly from the pass that was still called Xiyuguan at that time.
He directly killed the three strongest tribes at the time and turned them upside down.
One hundred thousand iron troops killed nearly 30% of Dawan's population at that time!
They are all still young adults!
In this single battle, the flame of the Dawan Dynasty was directly extinguished after experiencing a brief period of glory.
Since then, Dawan has become a subordinate tribe of the Chu State, and they have provided the Chu State with war horses, cattle and sheep every year in exchange for Tan Yuanchang's hand.
And for some unknown reason, Tan Yuanchang never returned to Beijing after that. Even when he came back, he sent someone back to inform him, and he himself was stationed directly at the foot of Yinshan Mountain.
After the Emperor of Chu learned about it, he summoned him again and again, but Tan Yuanchang only accepted the order but did not leave. However, he handed over the military talisman directly to the Emperor of Chu.
Not only that, of the 100,000 Xiliang troops, he only left those 10,000 veterans. The rest of the mature iron troops were handed over to the Emperor of Chu and became the bodyguards of the Emperor of Chu. Some of them joined other
Under the general's command.
Therefore, it is said that there are 100,000 troops, but in fact there are only 10,000 veterans.
But even so, neither Dayuan nor Liang nor Kang had any intention of invading.
After all, the greater reason why Xiliang's iron army is strong is because of this human god of martial arts and the military god of Chu.
As long as he is here, it doesn't matter if it's ten thousand or one hundred thousand.
Since then, King Chang has been stationed at Xiyuguan at the foot of Yinshan Mountain.
Later, the Emperor of Chu personally took the initiative and changed Xiyuguan into Tianmen Pass.
It means that the one who guards the gate of heaven is King Chang!
And he canonized Tan Yuanchang as the pillar of the country - the word "King Side by Side".
Tan Yuanchang led 10,000 Xiliang troops to guard the entire Xiliang Plain.
Both Liang and Kang were afraid of Tan Yuanchang's fierce power and did not dare to infringe upon Chu.
As long as King Chang is alive, they will never dare to invade.
But who would have known that these two would be two Jiazi!
Yes.
Prince Chang actually lived for nearly a hundred years after that!
Emperor Chu is dead, but this guy is still alive!
Although everyone has heard that Prince Chang's martial arts are superb, especially after beheading Hu Yanbi at Tianmen Pass, after recovering from his injuries, his martial arts seemed to have broken through to a new level.
In today's world, the martial arts of all martial arts practitioners are divided into major stages: body training, pulse condensation, and enlightenment.
Among them, physical training is just about building strength. After reaching the peak of training, you will have the strength of a horned ox and your skin will be like cowhide.
Condensing the pulse is a state after physical exercise.
After practicing to condense the pulse, strength will be generated in the body. Through the strength, the warrior can open the monument with bare hands and run like a horse.
As for enlightened warriors, they are rare in the world. In the entire Chu State, the only one who believed that martial arts had reached enlightenment was Prince Chang Tan Yuanchang. Moreover, the breakthrough should have been made after the decisive battle at Tianmen Pass, but since that breakthrough, Tan Yuanchang has not made many moves.
Therefore, there are inconsistent opinions about the state of enlightened warriors.
But the only common belief is that a martial artist with enlightenment can live up to two hundred years!
There is no way, who allowed Prince Chang to live to be 146 years old now!
This prince has managed to live out an era!
And now in the world, seven to eight out of ten people are still in the realm of physical training, and one in two out of ten people are in the realm of pulse condensation, and most of them are new to the realm of pulse condensation.
A rarity at the peak of pulse condensation.
Only one person is enlightened.
Therefore, this Prince Tan Yuanchang can be said to be invincible in the world.
It is precisely because of his existence that Chu State has been passed down safely to this day.
However, recently there have been rumors, both in the political arena and in the government and the public, that this pillar of the country and the human god of war seems to be almost exhausted.
Looking at the current Chu Emperor’s attitude toward Prince Chang, we can see that something seems to be wrong with Prince Chang.
Otherwise, even if the current Emperor of Chu was given ten courages, he would not dare to show off his power to King Chang above the court and the public.
It was his behavior that caused certain rumors to spread.
And Dawan’s breakthrough this time is a crucial test!
The result of the temptation is
This Prince Chang seems to be dying soon.
In other words, he may be old, so old that even Dawan's provocation failed to induce him to take action.
And as a result, even Liang Guo and Kang Guo were a little ready to make a move.
Suddenly, under the rumbling wind and cranes, the entire Chu State was also talking about it, and it felt like a storm was about to come.
