On the flat and vast grassland.
The advantages of cavalry can be said to be unparalleled, and it is almost easy to form terrifying combat power.
Especially since they are grassland people and are very familiar with this environment, their combat effectiveness will be even stronger.
But it was completely different for the army of Wei. The army of Wei was not as good as the people of the grassland in terms of personal quality and physique, unless they had practiced martial arts and had made certain achievements.
Of course, the biggest difference is that the Wei army is better at large-scale battles such as sieges and seizures.
Especially in bows and crossbows, he was the best in the world, as for cavalry.
Among the Eastern countries, it is considered to be the best.
But compared with the grassland cavalry.
There is still a big gap.
Therefore, when the two sides were fighting, the generals of Wei would take this into consideration and play to their strengths.
For example, they could defend cities and checkpoints, and then use the advantages of bows and crossbows to fight against the grassland army.
As for taking the initiative to send troops to fight back, that is only done when one has gained a great advantage.
Otherwise, it would not be done.
However, this time, hundreds of thousands of Wei troops stationed at Zhenbei Pass, led by Marquis Shenwu, took the initiative to attack and directly started a battle with the main force of the grassland army.
Especially as soon as the battle started, the Wei Dynasty displayed its strongest force, with archers in the front and cavalry in the back.
It gives people the impression of heading straight for a decisive battle.
The main force of the grassland army saw this.
The previous idea of dividing the troops was also temporarily suspended, and all the troops were concentrated together, with the purpose of just responding to this war.
The reason why the grassland army was so serious was that they also received news that this time it was Marquis Shenwu who was leading the army personally.
As their old rival, the grassland side naturally knew how powerful the Marquis of Shenwu was.
Even if they took the initiative to attack, they would abandon the advantages of Wei itself.
But this person is leading the team personally.
Therefore, the grassland side must also be more serious.
The army of 220,000 was twice as strong as that of the Wei army. Combined with its own advantages, the grassland army gained some advantages at the beginning of the battle.
After all, on such flat terrain, no matter how many strategies you have, it will be difficult to implement them.
But Marquis Shenwu, after all, has been through hundreds of battles and is known as the best general of the Wei Dynasty.
Even when they were comprehensively inferior to the grassland army.
We were able to fight back and forth with the local forces.
His deployment of troops made the enemy's repeated fierce attacks have little effect, and he was never able to expand this advantage.
In this situation, the grassland army had no other choice but to continue to organize and increase its troops and continue to attack the Wei camp. They knew that Marquis Shenwu was best at turning disadvantages into advantages, especially in protracted battles. He was the best in the world and no one could match him.
Therefore, the grassland army had no choice but to choose a quick battle and break through the camp of the Wei army at Zhenbei Pass as soon as possible.
Then divide them up and defeat them one by one. Only then will there be a possibility of winning.
Otherwise, wait until your army is exhausted.
Marquis Shenwu could have led his army back to Zhenbei Pass, or organized his army to launch a counterattack.
Especially since the Wei Dynasty took the initiative to fight on the grassland, this situation was extremely rare, so they didn't want to give up. Each attack was more violent than the previous one.
And because the grassland army is much larger in number, there is no need to worry about the consumption of manpower.
On the contrary, the Wei Dynasty had fewer men than the others, and its military strength began to decrease.
The grassland side's advantage will become greater and greater.
"My Lord."
At this moment, on the side of the Great Wei, in the core area of hundreds of thousands of troops.
A general came galloping over on horseback, bowed, and said, "My Lord, we have suffered a massive attack in the southeast, and have suffered heavy casualties. We need replacements!"
Upon hearing this, the Marquis of Shenwu, who was also on horseback, did not hesitate and gave the order directly: "Then replace them. Let those people retreat to the core area. The wounded must be treated immediately!"
"Yes, my Lord!"
After hearing the order, the general went to convey the order without any hesitation.
As for Marquis Shenwu, he remained where he was, his brows furrowed.
Although he personally led a large army into battle.
However, since he was the commander-in-chief, he could not lead his troops to charge, and the purpose of this battle was to hold the grassland army together without dividing it, so he could only choose to delay those people. If he could inflict heavy damage on the enemy, that would be perfect.
Unfortunately, the grassland army is difficult to deal with. Even with strict deployment, the effect is still not very obvious.
Of course, this does not mean that Shenwu Hou is incompetent.
Just imagine.
With less than twice the enemy's strength.
It is already commendable that it can be beaten like this.
After all, this is on the grassland, and we cannot take advantage of any terrain. We can only use experience to fight.
But Marquis Shenwu still knew that if this situation continued, his side would be defeated sooner or later.
But it doesn’t matter. At worst, we can just retreat back to Zhenbei Pass.
Now his main purpose.
The idea was to keep the grassland army together while consuming the enemy's strength. In this way, even if the enemy wanted to split up, it would not be very meaningful.
But doing so will undoubtedly cause many soldiers to lose their lives...
Therefore, Marquis Shenwu was under great pressure.
"My Lord."
At this time, a deputy general nearby spoke up, saying, "The grassland army seems to have strengthened its manpower and is continuing to attack our right wing. This won't work. The casualties are increasing, and sooner or later there will be no replacements. Let's retreat to Zhenbei Pass now."
