After understanding the specific combat plan of the death-defying army, Duan Jingzhu and the other three were surprised and admired at the same time!
"Commander, what should we do in the future?" Duan Jingzhu asked.www
"You are still responsible for intelligence work! However, the intelligence work on the grassland is different from that in Liaodong. In Liaodong, you need investigation and infiltration, but if there is no infiltration on the grassland, there will be no infiltration. It is impossible for us to infiltrate ordinary grassland tribes! So!
, all you need is continuous investigation! The vast grassland covers a huge area, and your tasks will be very heavy in the future." Hu Sanniang said.
"Commander, don't worry, no matter how heavy the task is, we can complete it." Duan Jingzhu said with a smile.
"You need to know what's going on within a thousand miles! You also need to know the possible trends of every big tribe on the grassland, as well as some changes that have happened in the big tribes! You need to trek on the grassland for days and nights, which is also a challenge for you.
.I will mobilize a group of elite soldiers from the death-defying army to help you, you must do a good job." Hu Sanniang said.
"Yes!" Duan Jingzhu and Cheng Guan hurriedly agreed.
"Time is running out, you start tomorrow! Tomorrow, we will also start large-scale construction." Hu Sanniang said.
"Construction?" Duan Jingzhu said in surprise.
"We need to build some defensive measures within a radius of 300 miles to secure our base!" Hu Sanniang said calmly.
In the early morning of the next day, thousands of outstanding soldiers were selected. These soldiers will be responsible for the investigation of the entire grassland. Their scope of activities will reach the entire grassland. The period will be extremely difficult, and many people may die on the road! But still
Countless soldiers signed up eagerly to do this job, but it's a pity that Liangshan only selects the most elite soldiers!
In addition, from this early morning, the construction work officially started!
Within a radius of 300 miles, Liangshan will build a large number of beacon towers. There will be a beacon tower every 20 miles. Special personnel will be stationed in the beacon towers. Once an enemy approaches here, the news will soon spread throughout the country.
In residence!
In addition to beacon towers, many tunnels or ditches will be dug out in many hills and hillside areas in Liangshan. Some of these tunnels and ditches are so hidden that war horses will fall down as soon as they pass by!
In addition to these, many places will be covered with wooden piles, and some places are covered with iron caltrops. The soldiers of Liangshan know where the traps are, and they can pass by them, while the invading enemies cannot pass through those places at all!
These are all defensive measures in the Central Plains. On the grasslands, there have been no such defensive measures since ancient times.
In the core area of about 10 square kilometers, Liangshan is digging a "moat" here. The surrounding area has been dug out. In the future, the water from the Onan River will be introduced here! In the future, the Military Department and the Medical Department will
, warehouses, etc. will be placed here! In the future, Liangshan may build city walls around it to surround it!
There are more than 600,000 people. In addition to the 100,000 soldiers stationed around to prevent accidents, the remaining more than 500,000 people have been invested in production and construction!
Within a radius of 300 miles, everything seems to have turned into a huge construction site at this moment! It is slightly better on the outside. Only some beacon towers are being built, and only some traps are being built. The further in, the more people there are, and the work they are doing
The more! On this "construction site", there are constant voices shouting in unison, sometimes singing war songs together, and the soldiers are sitting at the work in front of them with a fighting spirit.
****
The Qiyan tribe was the first to get the news that Liangshan had entered the grassland, because the Qiyan tribe was the closest to here.
When Liangshan just arrived a few days ago, many small and medium-sized tribes were expelled by Liangshan, and now more than a dozen small and medium-sized tribes have rushed to the Qiyan tribe! They have lost their property and food, and now they have no choice but to seek refuge with such a large tribe.
.
At this time, in the begging department, the "mobilization" work has been completed, and nearly 100,000 men are ready to go south! They are carrying dried meat, and their skins are filled with strong liquor. Some men are still wiping almost
Iron knives were about to rust. Some people had no iron tools in their hands, but they had prepared some wooden spears and planned to use them as weapons!
Everyone in the Qiyan tribe was very excited. They were about to go south. From now on, they would bid farewell to tribal life. They would occupy large areas of territory like the Jurchens and Khitans. They would live in cities.
There will be countless slaves of all races working for them! From now on, they will never starve to death again, they will live in warm houses in winter, and there will even be women from foreign races to warm their beds!
After these small and medium-sized tribes arrived, the entire Qiyan tribe was alerted, and soon everyone knew that the Han army had entered the grassland!
Hebul Khan also received the news immediately. He was surprised and immediately invited the leaders of these small and medium-sized tribes in.
After the leaders of the small and medium-sized tribes entered the royal tent, they stood there respectfully. They also had their own order on the grassland. People like Hebul Khan were already the kings of the grassland, and these tribes who had lost their property and food
The leader is now just a little more noble than the ordinary herdsmen.
"Did you read that correctly? Are they really Han?" Hebul Khan looked at the people below and asked with a frown.
"They must be Han people! They are wearing Han people's clothes, we can't be mistaken! What they said seems to be Han people!" A tribal leader stood up and said, and the rest of the people nodded.
In the past two years, Liangshan has been doing business with the grassland, and many people from Liangshan have come to the grassland. Therefore, many Mongolians have a preliminary impression of the Han people and can recognize the Han people.
"Why do they want to expel you?" Hebul Khan asked again.
"I don't know, maybe they want to occupy our territory." A tribal leader said.
"How many Han people are there?" Hebulhan asked.
"This... is endless, all over the mountains and plains, and there are Han people everywhere. I don't know how many there are." A tribal leader said.
"You don't know how many people there are? Are they coming on war horses? You can always tell how many war horses there are?" Hebul Khan frowned again.
"Great Khan, some of them are riding horses, but the people behind them seem to be on foot!" said the tribal leader.
"Some people ride horses and some people walk? Are the Han people stupid? When the cavalry enters the grassland, how dare the infantry enter the vast grassland?" Hebul Khan couldn't believe it, with a mocking expression on his face.
"Great Khan, we will never dare to deceive you." The tribal leader said with some fear.
"Of course I know this! I was laughing at the stupidity of the Han people! The Han people are indeed the meanest race in the world! No wonder they were bullied by the Khitans and Xixia people. From now on, we will also bully them." Hebulehan sneered.
.
Hebul Khan inquired for a long time before waving these people away.
He sat on the throne, his brows still furrowed tightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Brother, what are the Han people doing here on the grassland?" Bahai, who had been in the king's tent, asked at this moment.
"It's very simple. They just want to prevent us from going south! I didn't expect that they sent envoys here during the winter, and when spring came, their soldiers actually came here too! The Han people are cunning, and they really deserve their reputation." Hebule
Khan said.
"Brother, how do we deal with them?" I Bahai asked.
"Humph, of course we will annihilate them all! The grassland is the grassland of us grassland people, and the Han people are not allowed to come! When the Han people come, we will be like a pack of wolves and eat all their little sheep!" Hebul Khan said
.
"Brother, the Han people have also defeated the Kelei tribe. I'm afraid they are not easy to deal with either." I Bahai thought for a while and said.
"They were able to defeat the Kelie tribe because the Kelie tribe went to the territory of the Han people! On the grassland, the area is so vast, they are no match for us! Our herdsmen gallop on the grassland every day, and they know everything here
All incomparable
They are familiar with it, and they can fight continuously here, which the Han people cannot do! However, if you want to annihilate them all, you must first understand their true and false identities! I, Bahai, you lead a group of warriors south to investigate the true and false facts of the Han people!"
Hebu Lehan said.
****
Early the next morning, I Bahai led dozens of warriors from the Qiyan tribe towards the south!
The grassland was so vast that they hardly rested. They rode for three days before arriving at the edge of the Liangshan camp! It was only over 500 miles away from the Qiyan tribe. On the grassland, this distance was nothing!
This is the lower reaches of the Onan River. In addition to the Onan River, there are many small rivers and even some small lakes! It is already early spring, and both rivers and lakes have begun to thaw. The grasslands
There was also a hint of green.
In the past, this place was also a place with abundant water and grass. It was originally the territory of the Kele tribe. After the Kele tribe went to the west, the Naiman tribe had already occupied the northern area that once belonged to the Kele tribe. The Qiyan tribe was also planning to go south to occupy it.
Here, I didn’t expect that this would now become Liangshan’s territory!
I Bahai led dozens of people forward, and suddenly they saw countless hoof prints on the ground, and there were some horse dung next to them!
"It's the Han people!" I Bahai said excitedly, he finally found traces of the Han people!
His warriors observed carefully, and one warrior said: "Sir, I am afraid that more than a thousand horses have passed by here! There may be more than a thousand Han people!"
"Let's go forward!" I Ba'er said.
They continued forward and walked for more than ten miles, when suddenly the Liangshan cavalry appeared in the distance! When they saw the Liangshan cavalry, the Liangshan cavalry had also seen them. The Liangshan cavalry roared towards here, and they hurriedly
escape.
The Mongols' equestrian skills were very powerful. Dozens of them were divided into several small teams. The Liangshan cavalry chased them for half an hour, but they could no longer see any trace of them.
The leader of the army was Yang Zaixing. Yang Zaixing snorted coldly. He didn't care about the dozens of herdsmen and returned with his own cavalry. Such a small number of herdsmen would not have any impact on the Liangshan garrison.
After a while, I Bahai and dozens of his warriors gathered together again.
"Sir, what should we do now? There are a lot of Han people!" said a warrior.
"We will be discovered if we go there during the day. Let's go at night." I thought for a while and said.
"Going at night?" The warriors next to him were stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"If we ride horses, the sound of horse hooves will also alarm the Han people. Let's walk!" I Ba'ai thought for a while and said again.
