For Marquis Shenwu, he never took it lightly every time he fought against the grassland tribes.
Even if you know the other party's tactics, you still have to take all the variables into consideration to prevent accidents.
Although there are no such variables most of the time, as a general, this is what you should do.
In this battle, all the punches are expected and there will be no surprises.
But Shenwu Hou was very wary of this.
So he guessed that perhaps the grassland army had changed its mind this time. Otherwise, with nearly 300,000 troops gathered, it was impossible for them to just come for a stroll. There must be other purposes.
"Could it be that the chief general commanding the grassland army has been replaced?" At this moment, Marquis Shenwu stood in front of the sand table with his eyes slightly narrowed.
He had actually heard of all the main generals of the eighteen tribes across the grassland, and had even fought against two-thirds of them.
Therefore, they are very familiar with most tactics and strategies, and have ways to deal with them.
But now, he was very confused.
There have been such changes in the grassland army.
This made Shenwu Hou suddenly think of someone, the Khan of the Tianlang tribe.
This man had spent some time in the Central Plains and, in a remarkably short time, had transformed the Tianlang tribe into the largest of the grasslands, excelling in every aspect. He had studied the battle tactics of the Tianlang khan, which were strange and erratic, and he had truly mastered the true art of war of the Central Plains.
The changes in the grassland army this time made him wonder whether the Khan of the Tianlang tribe had arrived.
However, Marquis Shenwu was very clear that the coalition of ten tribes from the grassland did not include the Tianlang tribe.
Although the White Bear Tribe, with whom they have a very good relationship, has arrived.
But it doesn’t mean.
The Sirius tribe will also be included.
And for this reason, Marquis Shenwu sent batches of scouts to the grassland tribes to gather information.
Even though he knew that the information he could get this way was very limited, there was no other way.
"My Lord, my Lord!"
At this moment, a general rushed in from outside and bowed, saying, "My Lord, the scouts ahead have reported that the grassland army has stopped advancing, and the various units are gathering food and feeding their horses below. It seems they are planning a major move."
"It's just that the grassland army's target isn't our Zhenbei Pass. They seem to be splitting up their forces. From what I've heard, there are at least 100,000 grassland cavalrymen ready to fight the army. As for their purpose, we don't know yet!"
What?
Is the grassland army going to split up?
Upon hearing this, Marquis Shenwu immediately stood up with a gloomy expression.
He had previously guessed that the 220,000-strong army would neither choose to surround Zhenbei Pass nor to forcibly attack the city, and he was afraid that they would definitely choose to split up their forces in the near future.
However, what they did not expect was that the enemy would divide its troops so quickly that even sending a large army to deliberately lure them into battle did not achieve any effect.
This made Marquis Shenwu a little hesitant. No wonder the grassland army seemed unwilling to fight with all their strength in the previous battles.
Considering that all ten Khans had gathered together this time, he had already thought that the plan of advance might have been finalized.
"My Lord, what should we do? Should we repel them and then have all places step up their defenses?"
At this moment, the general spoke.
In his eyes, if the grassland army was divided into two groups, they would definitely choose a place to break through.
Judging from the current situation, it is impossible to take Zhenbei Pass, so we can only start from other places.
However, after hearing this, Shenwu Hou shook his head and said, "The northern defense line is too vast. We can indeed notify all places to be vigilant, but the problem now is that we don't know where the grassland army will go after it splits up."
"In this situation, even if all places are put on alert, the effect will not change much."
He looked at the sand table in front of him, frowning deeply.
When fighting on the grasslands, one must be cautious.
Especially this time the ten departments have joined forces, with an army of more than 200,000, which is really too many.
In addition, the grassland is flat and vast, and the cavalry can reach any place in a short time, making it difficult to defend.
In fact, if it were a siege, it would be much easier to deal with. We just need to control a few key throats. However, this method is simply not suitable for dealing with grassland tribes.
"Then...what should we do then?"
At this time, the general felt a little anxious after hearing this.
It was clear that the grassland army had already taken action, but they had no way to resist or contain it.
For a soldier, it can be said to be extremely frustrating.
"Pass the order, switch on!"
Suddenly, the Marquis of Shenwu raised his head, having made a decision. He continued, "Gather all the troops within the pass and march out with me to attack the grassland tribe's camp. Remember, except for those who remain behind, everyone else must go with me!"
The old marquis is going to lead the army personally to fight against the grassland army?
The general was stunned when he heard this.
But it soon became clear.
This was to send a message to the grassland army that the Wei Dynasty was ready for a decisive battle.
Even the old marquis took action personally, so it is impossible for the enemy not to take it seriously.
And there's one more thing.
That is, any battle in which the old marquis personally leads his troops will almost certainly be won.
Now the grassland army is preparing to split up, which means launching an attack on the northern defense line. However, because the northern defense line is too vast, even with the national strength of Wei, it is a difficult task to defend it all.
Therefore, the only way is to take the initiative and fight with all our strength to make the grassland army pay attention.
What's more, there are hundreds of thousands of troops in Zhenbei Pass now.
