Luo Longsheng laughed: "Yes, this Liu Bobo never fought against his real blood enemy, the Northern Wei Dynasty, but he kept attacking his benefactor, the Later Qin Dynasty. I understand what you said, although the latter Qin Dynasty also The regime established by the Qiang people has been in Guanzhong for a long time. It has few cavalry and many infantry, and its mobility is insufficient. Liu Bobo's guerrilla style of cavalry that comes and goes like the wind cannot defeat an army like Tianke."

The black robe nodded: "Yes, when Yao Chang was still there, the Qiang army's combat effectiveness was not strong. Not only was it not as good as Murong's Xiyan, but even the strength of the former Qin was much stronger than them. If it weren't for Fu Jian was crippled by Xi Yan, so Yao Chang couldn't defeat Fu Jian. They just took advantage of it, and they were not really strong enough to defeat the former Qin."

"In addition, Yao Chang himself was very powerful and cunning, and his tactics of war were often unpredictable. Later, when he fought with Fu Deng, he could not defeat Fu Deng head-on, so he set up camp to hold a stalemate and clear the country. In turn, he used a small amount of cavalry to attack Fu Deng's logistics, food and fodder. Gradually making it unsustainable is a crime other than war."

Luo Longsheng said sternly: "But this style of play is not easy to use against Liu Bobo. The Hu Xia Army is a pure cavalry unit with almost no infantry. It is highly mobile and can come and go like the wind. It also has a large number of ranger scouts who can intercept and kill. Later Qin's reconnaissance knights, Hou Qin was defeated by Hu Xia several times, but they knew nothing about the opponent's situation. I believe that it was not that Yao Xing did not send reconnaissance knights, but that all these reconnaissance knights were eliminated, resulting in that he could only Become deaf and blind, completely passive.”

The black robe laughed: "Yes, in this northern grassland battle and cavalry conflict, the most important thing is reconnaissance and intelligence. Once without this, they will become deaf and blind, completely passive and beaten. The problem of the Later Qin Dynasty is that if the cavalry An independent army, no matter in terms of numbers or combat effectiveness, cannot defeat the Hu Xia cavalry. Yao Xing once personally led 30,000 cavalry to attack, but Liu Bobo led 50,000 cavalry to directly surround him, and almost even Yao Xing himself was killed. If it weren't for my subordinates fighting to the death and the soldiers and civilians from the cities in the north of the mountain trying their best to rescue me, I'm afraid that the Hou Qin Dynasty would have been dead by now."

Luo Longsheng curled up his lips: "Yes, this Liu Bobo does not have a city. He only acts as a tribe on the grassland. When the enemy attacks, the entire tribe will move and will not let the enemy know where it is. In peacetime, all troops are summoned when there is a war. Horses, in peacetime and during periods of animal husbandry, scattered troops are sent back to various ministries to engage in production. This style of play is very troublesome for the Later Qin Dynasty, which is dominated by infantry in the Central Plains."

The black robe said solemnly: "But the Northern Wei is different. The Northern Wei itself is also a country fought on horseback. They can pull out more than 200,000 pure cavalry troops. Their usual Monan tribes and Hu Xia on the Hetao grassland The tribes were involved in trade, and they knew their general pastures, water sources, and strongholds. If the Northern Wei Dynasty was willing to attack Hetao with all its strength, it would be like Tuoba Si's attack on Liu Weichen, one hit at a time, and Liu Bobo would not be able to do what he did against the Later Qin Dynasty. With the advantage of intelligence, if he unexpectedly concentrates his forces to encircle and defeat the Northern Wei army, he will be defeated before he can gather his forces."

"It's just that Liu Bobo never dared to provoke the Northern Wei Dynasty. In addition, the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Later Qin Dynasty had a war to compete for the Central Plains. Therefore, during the Tuoba Si period, the Northern Wei Dynasty was happy to keep Liu Bobo as a chess piece to involve the Later Qin Dynasty. Later, Liu Bobo The power of the vigorous Hu Xia increased so fast that even the main force of the Later Qin could not match it, which also attracted the attention of the Northern Wei Dynasty. However, at this time, the Northern Wei Dynasty was in civil strife. Tuoba Si died in the hands of his son, as did Hebei and other parts of the grassland. The turmoil needs to be quelled everywhere, especially as the great enemy Rouran has become a climate in Mobei. After all, one often attacks Monan and directly threatens the grassland, while the other almost never takes the initiative to attack and provoke the Northern Wei Dynasty. If the two evils are balanced, whichever is the lesser, then Rouran will replace Hu Xia and become the number one enemy of the Northern Wei Dynasty."

Luo Longsheng nodded: "Yes, and Rouran has a large number of horses, cattle and sheep. Once they win, the rewards will be very generous. Hu Xia is good at guerrilla warfare. If he reconnoiters the Northern Wei Dynasty and plans to attack, he will prepare in advance. Move the tribes, cattle and sheep to the Liangzhou area to avoid the attack of the Northern Wei Dynasty. If the Northern Wei Dynasty sends out a large army to pursue Liangzhou directly, there is the possibility of direct conflict with the Liangzhou countries and even the Later Qin Dynasty. The gain outweighs the loss. Even if Hu Xia If he loses again, he may continue to escape towards the Western Region. After all, what Liu Bobo is best at is not fighting, but how to escape."

The black robe sighed: "So after Tuoba Si came to the throne, the Northern Wei Dynasty placed its primary attack target on Rouran. Tuoba Si also used some deceptions. UU Reading www.uukｋnshu.net seemed exhausted, He went around to rescue people, focusing on combating the rebellion of the powerful Han people in Hebei and Bingzhou. He even pretended to be powerless against the rebellion and self-reliance of some Monan servant tribes. The tribe just defected to Rouran in Mobei and was not attacked. These things made Shelun relax his vigilance and thought that Tuoba Si was an incompetent person, far different from his father Tuoba Si."

Luo Longsheng shook his head: "Tuoba Si himself was able to quickly control the situation after Tuoba Si was assassinated, pacify the country, reuse old ministers, and manage all the Tuoba clans with heavy troops into obedience. The Northern Wei Dynasty also It did not fall into division and civil war, which in itself proves that its ability is by no means as weak as the outside world imagined. Veteran generals such as Ba Ba Song, Ba Ba Fei, Ba Ba Daosheng, Yu Lidan, Er Zhu Xiurong, and An Tong are all willing to serve for it. , after all, Shelun still lacks intelligence and eye contact, and does not have enough grasp of the situation in Monan and the Central Plains, so it is reasonable for him to suffer a big loss, but this time he does not have the same good luck as before."

The black robe laughed: "These next things are familiar to you. Taking advantage of Shelun's opportunity to divide his troops to attack various tribes in Mobei, Tuoba Si secretly assembled more than 100,000 Northern Wei cavalry, just like Tuoba Si Just like in the Battle of Shenhebei, we divided our forces to attack, and finally gathered at Ruoluoshui (today's Tula River) to attack the Khan Court of Shelun!"

"Shelun was completely unprepared for such an attack. He hurriedly gathered his troops to fight back, but was defeated. He himself was seriously injured and died in the process of escaping. The hegemony that Rouran had just established in Mobei was so damaged. It was a heavy blow. If it hadn't been for the lack of military supplies in the Northern Wei Dynasty and the need to return after attacking too far away, I'm afraid the entire Rouran Khanate would have ceased to exist. Rouran could be considered as escaping again." (End of this chapter)
