After leaving the border and heading north, it is the Wuwan area. Looking around, there are vast Gobi deserts, boundless, no plants, no water, no life; there are only beaches, gravels, and animal bones.

It is said that in Wuhuan, this Gobi desert is called: Wula Wula Wala Miqiu, which is translated as a barren land of death. The Han people are much simpler and more vivid - the Sea of ​​Death.

The Dead Sea is about 300 miles wide, stretching east and west, isolating Middle Earth from Wuhuan, forming a natural barrier. Since there is no road, and the wind is howling, sand and stones are flying, and people are walking in it, it is really difficult to move forward. Without guidance, the Chinese army will never be able to cross it.

Fortunately, Tianchou, the old subordinate of Yuan Shao, was quite familiar with the terrain of this area. He walked ahead first and acted as a guide to guide the troops forward. Wu Fan and Li Zhan successively used the sky-changing skills, which made the vast Gobi desert where the wind was howling, and it turned into a beautiful sunny day, which made the 470,000 expeditionary troops break through the Dead Sea and enter the Guangbao grassland in just three days.

However, although all the people broke through the Sea of ​​Death, dozens of vehicles carrying grain and grass were left behind, because they were trapped in quicksand.

Wu Fan did not have too much trouble on this matter. The food and grass transported were rationed according to the needs of 470,000 people in three months, and once they fought with the Wuwan Archers, many people would definitely die. In other words, Wu Fan had long included the inevitable loss of food and grass. Unless he encountered robbery and burnt in military rations, the remaining food and grass would definitely be enough to support the expeditionary force for three months under normal losses.

During the process of casting the Tianbian skill through the Dead Sea, Wu Fan finally learned the success rate of the Tianbian skill. He often cast six or seven times to succeed once. It can be seen that the skill proficiency is too low. The reason why the Wuwan Archer Cavalry was successful in the Wushi Mountain Fire last time was entirely due to the character explosion.

After returning, when you have time to have free time, you have to improve your proficiency in the sky transformation as soon as possible. Such a low success rate is really painful. The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and there is time to cast these six or seven heavenly changes, and I don’t know how earth-shaking changes will happen in the battle situation.

Wu Fan secretly warned himself in his heart.

As soon as the expeditionary army entered the grassland, what was waiting for them was the continuous harassment of the Wuwan Archers.

After losing 50,000 archers and cavalry in the previous period, there were still 290,000 soldiers left in Karasuma City. The disabled General Karasuma naturally failed to escape back to Karasuma City. In fact, he died at the hands of the border guards.

The leader of Wuhuan Tadun learned the news that the 50,000 archers and cavalry were wiped out through the more than 1,000 deserters. According to his intention, he wanted to immediately send another 100,000 archers and cavalry to attack Beiping, but was persuaded by the wizard, so he held his troops in the city and waited for the Han army to attack, intending to come and wait for the effort.

The Wuwan wizard is equivalent to the military advisor of the vassals in Middle Earth. However, the wizard has a greater influence in some aspects than the Wuwan leader. The reason is that the more ignorant and backward the nation is, the more worshipped the gods. The Wuwan wizard is naturally very influential in the hearts of the Wuwan people because he is witchcraft.

If the leader of the Karasuma is the leader of power, then the wizard of the Karasuma is the leader of the spiritual leader. The use of brainwashing rule and spiritual indoctrination has made the people of the Karasuma clan admire him very much.

The Wuhuan wizard has the skill of training beasts, which is a skill that the Han people do not possess, and can train wild animals for their own use. When the Expeditionary Force was trekking in the Gobi Desert, the goshawks hovering at a height of hundreds of meters above their heads were the wizard's eyeliner, and they promptly reported the advance of the Expeditionary Force to the wizard.

So, when the expeditionary army finally walked out of the Gobi Desert and as soon as they entered the grassland, they were immediately suffocated by the Wuwan Archers.

Each of these Wuwan archers was 10,000 people, led by ordinary generals, Wuwan archers. The generals themselves have low military strength, about 80 o'clock, and their command is not outstanding, and they are about the same level as their military strength. However, each general has the highest military technique of the archers and cavalry. In addition, the morale of the Wuwan archers is very high, and the launch of the flying archers is extremely frequent. As soon as the two armies met, the vanguard troops of the expeditionary army suffered heavy losses.

In a critical moment, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Hua Xiong, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Xu Huang led their cavalry to arrive in time under the acceleration of movement. Everyone launched assault tactics, chased the butt of the Wuwan archers and beat them up. The seven Wuwan archers in the chaos killed the 100,000 Wuwan archers responsible for harassing returned to Wuwan City after losing nearly 40,000 people.

The Expeditionary Force took this opportunity to step up its march, and on the way, he repeatedly attacked the Wuwan Archers. Half a month later, he finally arrived thirty miles west of Wuwan City.

At this time, there were still 410,000 people left in the expeditionary army, and 240,000 people left in the city of Karasuma.

Although the number of expeditionary troops far exceeds that of the Wuwan Army in terms of the total number of people, it is not difficult to see the strength of the Wuwan Archer Cavalry from the confrontation along the way. Even though the Expeditionary troops frequently launched assault weapons under the command of first-class generals such as Lu Bu, the proportion of deaths between the two sides was still high as the Expeditionary troops.

These generals under Wu Fan were all famous generals of the Three Kingdoms, and they suffered such heavy losses in front of the Wuwan Archers. It is no wonder that Yuan Shao held nearly one million soldiers back then, but he still sighed at Wuwan's eyes.

In addition, during the past half month of marching, Wu Fan finally understood the role of the piano rule that Cai Yan mentioned: it is basically equivalent to a mobile military music. However, unlike the military music platform, Cai Yan's piano rule is to increase the morale of the troops.

Along the way, Cai Yan rode a donkey in the central army, holding a zither with one hand and plucking the zither with the other hand. At the beginning of the strings, the range of the sound wave influence can reach more than ten miles. Sure enough, the soldiers who were in the sound wave range, no matter how severe the damage they suffered, their morale remained above 120. It is precisely for this reason that the expeditionary force did not suffer greater losses.

In addition, as mentioned earlier, Yuan Shao once told Wu Fan that once the Expeditionary Force enters the Wuwan territory, its morale will fall very quickly. Therefore, Cai Yan's Qinlu helped a lot at this time. Otherwise, the Expeditionary Force would have lost at least half of its troops when it arrived here.

At this time, the Expeditionary Force stopped at the foot of a stone mountain. The Karasu people called this mountain range Xishan because its geographical location was in the west of Karasu City. The western mountain was not high, with an altitude of only 20 to 30 meters. The mountain was bare and covered with stones. A small number of trees grew. The mountain range extended northward, but a ridge stretched eastward in the middle, about ten miles from Karasu City.

Wu Fan and the generals climbed to the top of the mountain. Looking into the distance, they could see the Wuwan City, which was completely made of bluestone, which was extremely solid. Looking at the area around Wuwan City, there were wastelands. The reason was that the Wuwan people mainly grazed. When the herdsmen entered the city, their horses, cattle and sheep were scattered outside the city. Over time, they gnawed all the grass and trees around the city. When the wind blew, the sand turned up to form the current landform.

Wu Fan looked into the distance for a while, looked at the ridge that poked out eastward from the west mountain and nodded, saying:

"Our army has reached the vicinity of Wuhuan City for a long expedition. We must build a city block to garrison and prepare for the success of this."

Then he pointed his finger at the ridge that was only ten miles away from Karasuma City, and said:

"This place is just right from Karasuma City, and you can be guarded by it according to the danger. It is the best place to build a city block."

Everyone looked in the direction of Wu Fan's fingers and couldn't help but nodded repeatedly to praise him, but some people looked embarrassed.

Xun You said to Wu Fan with concern:

"The Governor's plan is very good, but the mountain ridge is too close to Wuwan City. When the city block is built, our army will definitely be repeatedly attacked by Wuwan archers, and the casualties will be extremely heavy."

Guo Jia shook his head and said:

"Even if there are heavy casualties, this city gate must be built. Once this city gate is built, our army can attack and retreat and defend. Moreover, because it is very close to Karasuma City, our army launches a sudden attack, which catches the enemy off guard."

Xun You also understood this principle. He only told him out of foreseeing that the soldiers suffered heavy casualties. Seeing that Wu Fan and the generals were both clear-headed, he naturally stopped saying anything.

The reason why Wu Fan insisted on building a city block in such a dangerous place was not only the experience he had accumulated when playing "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms 9": to fight four barbarians, the first thing was to do was to build a military garrison facility near the barbarian city at all costs, and then suddenly the troops in the facility were transferred out and swarmed into the city, which caught the barbarians off guard and could take down the city.

Of course, in this process, the casualties of our army must be very heavy, but there is nothing we can do about it. How can we not die in war? What's more, we are dealing with barbarians with perverted attributes and numerous soldiers.

Among the facilities for garrisoning, the formation is the simplest and the construction speed is the fastest; the city gate is the most complex and the construction speed is the slowest. However, the city gate can be stationed at a maximum of 500,000 troops, and the city defense is also high. When an enemy attacks, it can also launch a rockfall to smash the enemy into a pie, which is very powerful.

In contrast, the formation is much shabby, with very low defense, and only 100,000 troops garrisons. When an enemy attacks, they can only rely on ordinary arrows to resist. With attributes like the Wuwan Archer, basically, the formation can be dismantled once the troops walk by one after another.

This is also the fundamental reason why Wu Fan abandoned the formation and built a city blockade.

Even if you suffer heavy casualties, it is imperative to build a city blockade

The idea was decided, so I started to start the implementation immediately. The construction of the city block cannot be completed in one day, so there is no need to wait until tomorrow and then officially start tomorrow. Wu Fan transferred all the generals with "creation" skills and allocated them to 100,000 soldiers. Yuan Shao led the construction of the city block. He required that the city block be built for me day and night, one moment and one stop, and within five days, the city must be built for me.

For more than one day, all the guards in the army will be killed; for more than two days, all the captains in the army will be killed; for more than three days, all the generals will be killed
