    Chapter 618 Establishing a foothold

    Spring is the season when all things revive. At the same time, it is also the season when the Central Plains dynasties attack the foreign races on the grasslands.

    ??Some people who are familiar with history will know that the grassland peoples usually attack the Central Plains dynasty in autumn, while the Central Plains dynasties usually attack the grassland peoples in spring and summer.

    This is not a randomly selected time, there is an inevitable truth behind it, and it contains a bloody life-and-death struggle between the two ethnic groups.

    The biggest difference between the farming people in the Central Plains and the nomadic people in the north lies in the mode of production. The farming people rely on planting to survive, while the nomadic people rely on grazing. For the farming people, autumn is the harvest season, while for the northern nomadic people, after the summer  With the supply of abundant water and grass, the horses are fat and strong. This is also the time when the alien races who rely on horses to fight are at their strongest.

    One is busy with the autumn harvest, while the other has strong troops and horses, so the foreign tribes in the north will go out every autumn. In this way, they can not only destroy the production of the Central Plains, but also obtain a large amount of food items through plunder.

    Of course, this does not mean that the people of the Central Plains are only bullied by the nomads in the north. The farming people of the Central Plains are weak in the autumn, but the nomads are weak in the spring. In the spring, the horses, cattle and sheep of the foreign races pass through a severe cold.  In winter, almost all the body fat is consumed, and it is the time when the body is thin and needs to be restored. If the Central Plains people choose to attack the northern foreigners in spring, they will get the maximum gain at the minimum cost, and it will be easier to win the battle.

    Therefore, we see that in history, the time when the Central Plains dynasties attacked the foreign races on the grasslands was mostly in spring or summer.

    Both sides will choose their opponents to attack each other when they are at their weakest, but generally speaking, when the Central Plains Dynasty recovers, it still has a great advantage over the foreign races in the north.

    The grassland area in the north is very large. From Central Asia to the Outer Xing'an Mountains, Siberia is an area where aliens are active. The aliens are all on horseback. If they really can't win, they can escape. In such a large grassland, the aliens only need to escape and use infantry as the main force.  The army of the Lord's Central Plains Dynasty basically had no place to use.  Later, Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, made five northern expeditions to Mongolia, but most of the time they failed. The grasslands were too big, and the infantry of the Central Plains people really couldn't catch the shadows of foreigners.

    But why did the Central Plains Dynasty still insist on attacking in spring and summer?  An important reason is that this is the most important season for the reproduction and reproduction of alien races.

    In the northern prairie, the winter is very cold, and all life activities are compressed to the limit. When spring comes, everything revives, and animals will seize the time to reproduce their offspring. In summer, the water and grass are abundant and the food is sufficient, so the survival rate of the offspring will be  It will be greatly improved. This is true for animals and also for humans.

    On the northern grasslands, people and animals must try their best to reproduce when spring comes. At this time, the Central Plains Dynasty will attack, which will cause a very bloody consequence. In spring, cattle, horses, sheep and people will become pregnant. What they should do after becoming pregnant is to raise animals.  However, at this time, the enemy is coming. As a result, the pregnant horses and women will avoid it. All kinds of running and tossing are unbearable to normal people, let alone pregnant women.

    Over time, the reproduction of people and animals on the grassland has been disturbed. The animals and women in captivity will have miscarriages. Over time, the strength of the grassland people will be greatly reduced. In history, the Huns were destroyed by the Han  Defeated.

    Although it is cruel to do so, you must not be merciful to the enemy at all, because when these aliens invaded the Central Plains, they also killed the people of the Central Plains wantonly. Therefore, the battle between the two nations was a life and death struggle, and there was absolutely no mercy.

    It was already spring. Xue Dingshan led 10,000 musketeers to station in Jiuyuan, built fortifications, and made plans to stock up troops for a long time. The Uighur sentry also learned of this situation and reported it to the Uighur Khan.  Vomiting.

    When Tumidu heard that the Tang army had arrived at the frontier and occupied the Jiuyuan area, he was furious.

    This Jiuyuan is his territory. The Uighurs spent a lot of effort to occupy it. How could they let the Tang army take it for themselves so easily?

    But now that spring has just begun, after a harsh winter, the entire Uighur tribe has suffered a lot of consumption, and the horses, cattle and sheep are very thin. If you want to send troops at this time, you can't be too reckless and you have to weigh the pros and cons.

    When we go on an expedition at this time, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is very weak. It is hard to say whether they can win this battle.

    So Tumidu thought about it and decided to send a troop of troops to monitor the Tang Army's movements from a distance, and first figure out the strength and deployment of the Tang Army. Of course, this army also has another mission, which is to cause trouble for the Tang Army.  Let the Tang army build fortifications and cities in Jiuyuan, and the Tang army was constantly tired.??Let the Tang army be exhausted, and when the autumn weather is crisp and the horses are fat and strong, he can send out a large army and annihilate the Tang army that has been relying on Jiuyuan in one fell swoop.

    At the moment, Tumido immediately sent his subordinate Kadir to lead five thousand cavalry to the Jiuyuan area to harass the Tang army and prevent the Tang army from moving.

    Kadir was a powerful general under Tumidu. When Tumidu plundered the Central Plains, Kadir was the vanguard every time. Because he was brave and strategic in fighting, every time Tumidu plundered the Tang Dynasty, he was the vanguard.  At most, Tumidu has great trust in Qadir.

    At that moment, Kadir led five thousand cavalry to rush all the way to Jiuyuan City. Kadir's idea was very simple, that is, to appear unexpectedly outside Jiuyuan, attack the Tang army before the Tang army's fortifications were built, and defeat it in one fell swoop.  Tang Tang Army, in this way, the Tang Army's move to occupy Jiuyuan naturally collapsed.

    The cold wind is blowing, it is already early spring in March, but outside Jiuyuan City, the warmth of spring is still not felt. The grass is withered and yellow, giving a desolate look.

    However, Jiuyuan City was very busy. Although it was freezing cold, the soldiers of the Tang Army still used stones to repair the broken walls of Jiuyuan City. After more than ten days of repairs, almost all the walls of Jiuyuan City were repaired.  It looks like it has regained some of its former glory.

    Kadir asked the soldiers to stop because he discovered something very unusual. Usually when he led troops to attack the Tang Dynasty's city, the Tang Dynasty people kept their walls clear and were well prepared, making them very nervous.

    However, this time it was very different. Although Jiuyuan City was in ruins, the Tang people in the city did not panic. Although they saw their own large group of troops arriving, they seemed to ignore it and continued to go about their own business, as if they did not see the enemy coming.  .

    This is the first time Kadir has encountered this situation. He doesn¡¯t understand how those Tang people who regard Huihe as a scourge can be so calm all of a sudden (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
