Chapter 375 (1/2)

On the contrary, because Fenglin army is relatively rich, it is willing to pay for local supplies, which makes local businessmen and people make a lot of money. Of course, the officers and soldiers of the Shuofang army also made money, so the two sides even got along very happily.

As for whether the Shuofang army has ever moved his mind, Wei Ran is too lazy to guess. After all, the elite of Fenglin army is also displayed in the open. Both sides really want to use swords. With Wei Ran's ability, Shuofang is blocked by Helan Mountain in the West and the poor place in the Gobi desert in the East.

After entering the Helan Mountains, the road is very difficult to walk. Until entering the Hetao Plain, there is a smooth river, and waving troops straight into the Yinshan Mountains.

Most of the people we met along the way were Khitan ranches, and few Turks could be seen.

They had long fallen into recession. Most of them went west to the Dashi area, converted to the green religion, renamed Seljuk, and became powerful mercenaries of the Dashi army who also fell into recession.

At this time, no one knew that the army of the Seljuk nation would later occupy the magpie's nest and become the most powerful country in the eastern Mediterranean - Ottoman Turkey.

However, the nomadic tribes that dominate the East have become Khitans and are on the rise. In a few decades, they will replace Turks as the biggest foreign enemy in the Central Plains.

Wei Ran is not familiar with the water, grass and roads outside the Great Wall, but the way to deal with it is very simple. He first deterred with a large army and found a Turkic tribe with few people and often bullied by the Khitans.

Then, in the frightened eyes of the Turkic herdsmen, Wei Ran took out their lack of iron, gold, silver and jewelry as a temptation and invited them to send qualified soldiers to follow the army as a guide.

Nomads live by water and grass. Although the Qidan and Turks have different languages, their customs are actually similar. To live in such a place as the Great Wall grassland, we must adapt to the natural climate, otherwise we will be eliminated by the longevity day.

Eight thousand iron cavalry, with light-weight scales and well-equipped, and one man and two horses, will surely meet the nomadic tribes of Khitan when they chase the fertile land of water and grass under the guidance of the guide.

After that, thousands of troops swept through and maneuvered. This half month, they supported the war by fighting, and killed the Qidan tribe at the foot of Yinshan Mountain.

Almost all the young and strong people in their family were transferred to attack Yanyun and are facing off with Li Chengye. Therefore, the clan is basically old and weak, and only 30000 cavalry are scattered everywhere to guard against other small tribes on the grassland.

Through the Turkic guide, Wei Ran contacted these small tribes bullied by Khitan, led them to break through several Khitan nomadic tribes, and then the army snowballed to 20000 people.

Then he took advantage of the situation to break the Qidan cavalry distributed all over the grassland one by one, killing them scared and afraid to fight again. Small tribes such as Shiwei, Wugu and Liuxi revered Wei Ran's 8000 elite riders as gods. The more they did, the more skillful they became and the more serious they became.

Wei Ran also learned about the Khitan tribe during the continuous attack on the grassland.

Today's Khitan Khan is the famous yelyabaoji in history. In his early years, he unified the eight Khitans, but he always made friends with each other based on the strength of the Pinglu Jiedu envoy, and even sent the elite of the tribe to join the Pinglu Jiedu envoy's army to attack the Central Plains.
