Chapter 306

On the northern frontier of the Great Zhou Empire, a well-organized heavy cavalry is slowly marching.

There were about 3,000 troops in this army, each of them wearing heavy armor and armed with sharp spears and machetes.

Where they passed, countless pedestrians retreated, because their murderous aura was too heavy.

"General, walk 50 miles ahead and you will be where the sect of Ice Valley is located. After crossing the Ice Valley, you can reach the frontier garrison in two days." A scout came to Huo Qubing, who was at the forefront of the army. road.

This heavy cavalry is the Tiger Ben Legion. A few days after they set off from the Imperial City, they are about to arrive at the frontier garrison in the north of Dazhou.

When Huo Qubing heard the words, he said to the soldiers around him, "Order the troops, not to disturb the people in Ice Valley."

Most of the disciples in Binggu have gone to the Imperial City, but there are still a small number of disciples who choose to be stationed in the sect.

Now that he has allegiance to the empire, Huo Qubing certainly cannot let the soldiers disturb them.

The disciples of Binggu are all beautiful women. Although the Hu Ben Army has strict military discipline, Huo Qubing still needs to be warned to avoid mistakes.

After the scout left, Huo Qubing said to Luo Cheng who was beside him: "General Luo Cheng, we are about to go to the barracks of the northern frontier army, what do you think?"

Luo Cheng thought for a while and said, "The last general is stupid, and he hasn't figured out how to deal with the 300,000 frontier troops."

Although Luo Cheng is older than Huo Qubing, Huo Qubing is the coach of the Hu Ben Army, so he maintains enough respect for the other party.

And through this conversation, Luo Cheng also admired Huo Qubing's military talents, so he seemed to respect him even more.

Huo Qubing didn't ask Luo Cheng any more, instead he looked into the distance and said meaningfully: "Luo Cheng, in fact, my idea is not to go to the border army for now, let's take a detour to the grassland to see the fierce barbarians, how about it?"

Huo Qubing's words made Luo Cheng hesitant: "General, Your Majesty let us go to the north in order to rein in the military power of the frontier army. If we detour into the grassland halfway, I am afraid that we will be charged with disobeying the emperor's order."

Huo Qubing shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty asked us to take back the military power of the Northern Frontier Army, but he never said how to take it back, so no matter what we do, as long as we achieve our goal, it is not disobedience."

Luo Cheng thought for a while and found that Huo Qubing's words were indeed reasonable, so he asked, "I wonder what the general thinks?"

Huo Qubing didn't answer and asked, "What do you think is the possibility of us going to the border army now and taking back our military power?"

Luo Cheng didn't know what to do, so he could only answer: "It's very insignificant. The northern frontier army is different from the other armies of the Great Zhou Empire. They fight against the grassland tribes all the year round, so their characters are also extremely wild and unruly."

"Although you and I are very strong and can easily sack their main general, these frontier troops will never surrender to us because of this, and may even launch a retaliatory attack on us, which will cause trouble."

As a leading general, he still sees this very clearly. Not to mention that they have a huge disparity ratio of 100 to 1 with the frontier army. Just because the northern frontier army is brave and not afraid of death, it is not easy to surrender. of.

Although the combat effectiveness of this kind of army is very strong, and they are appreciated by the generals, but in the current situation, this style has become an obstacle for them.

Huo Qubing said with a smile: "Since we went to the military camp and couldn't subdue them, why should we do this and walk away in vain?"

Luo Cheng pondered for a moment, and then said: "The last general still doesn't understand, please ask the general to clarify."

Huo Qubing finally stopped playing dumb: "You just said that the northern part is wild and unrestrained, but they also admire the strong. If we can't prove our ability, they will never give in, so I thought about it. A way to show them our strength."

Huo Qubing's words have come to this point, Luo Cheng also understood a bit, he said with some worry: "General, you should know the strength of the Condor Tribe, it is equivalent to a dynasty-level superpower, our mere 3,000 troops entered the grasslands, Is it really suitable?"

Luo Cheng was not afraid of death. As Huo Qubing's lieutenant, he was obliged to persuade Huo Qubing to keep calm.

Huo Qubing explained: "The strength of the Vulture Tribe is indeed not inferior to that of the dynasty, but this does not mean that the barbarians close to our borders are strong."

"As far as I know, most of the really powerful sub-tribes in the Vulture Tribe are located around their royal court, which is equivalent to the capital, and the royal court is millions of miles away from me. These powerful sub-tribes have no Interested in managing Da Zhou's affairs."

"Although these small tribes near Dazhou have a large number of people, their real strength is only stronger than my Dazhou. In addition, the vast terrain of the grassland is very suitable for cavalry mobile operations. At that time, we will adopt the method of harassing operations. The numerical superiority of those barbarians will be lost."

Huo Qubing in this world has the memory of living in the northern border for more than ten years, and is very familiar with the grasslands and barbarians.

His guerrilla warfare method is also based on the previous habit of barbarians looting the people in the surrounding area.

However, Luo Cheng was still worried: "Although the Vulture Tribe doesn't care about this grassland, if we really do this, will it cause a strong bombardment of the Vulture Tribe? At that time, we will use the power of the Great Zhou Kingdom to face the A superpower equivalent to a dynasty, I am afraid it will bring a lot of trouble to Your Majesty..."

Huo Qubing shook his head and said, "There's no need to worry about this. Even if our massacre of the barbarians on the steppe will really attract the attention of the Vulture Tribe and its subordinate tribes, they will at most mobilize some small tribes to fight against the big ones. Zhou's war, rather than launching a frontal war to destroy the country."

"Judging from the bad relationship between the human race and the barbarians, if the surrounding forces of the Royal Court of the Condor Tribe dare to personally intervene in this small-scale friction, this war will turn into a dynasty-level war."

"This is not what the Jagged Dynasty wants to see, and it is not what the Condor Tribe wants to see, so there is no need to worry about the intervention of the major forces of the Condor Tribe."

Luo Cheng thought about it and felt that what Huo Qubing said was indeed reasonable. He couldn't help asking: "Then should we continue to go to the garrison in the north now, or go the other way..."

Huo Qubing said solemnly: "Order the troops, after passing through the ice valley, bypass the garrison of the northern frontier army, and let's go directly to the grassland!"

The original plan was overturned by Huo Qubing, and he started a crazy and bold plan.

Two days later, the 3,000 Tiger Ben Army Corps and Luo Cheng's Eighteen Riders of Yanyun bypassed the garrison of the northern frontier army in Dazhou and came to the vast grassland.

At the same time, a scout was reporting the latest military situation to the senior generals of the Northern Army in the North Army's tent stationed in Hancheng.

"Marshal Qi, according to the news from the dark post on the front line, this morning, a heavy cavalry of about 3,000 people bypassed our military defense area and went straight to the grassland."
