Chapter 112 Enemy Night Attack(1/2)
After hearing Liu An's words, Kuser did not immediately agree, but asked doubtfully:
"But the Bart tribe now only has eight or nine hundred capable warriors, but we have more than four thousand warriors. Even if they are drunk, the son of Bart will not dare to come!"
Liu An shook his head and explained: "Don't worry, he will definitely come! I killed Bart, and his son hated me to the core. If he misses such a good opportunity for revenge, he will never have the chance again, so even if he knows there is danger, he will definitely
Come. Besides, he, who has been blinded by hatred, may not be able to see the risks involved."
"Yes!" Bowser responded and left.
The Chakshi tribe is not that far away from the Butte tribe, and it only takes half an hour to go back and forth.
Including the time to gather soldiers, Liu An estimated that the people from the Bute tribe would be able to reach the Chakshi tribe in less than an hour at most.
At this time, the night had completely fallen, and Liu Bei also entered the Chakshi tribe with soldiers and supplies.
Liu An asked Chakshi to arrange food and accommodation for the people Liu Bei brought, and at the same time asked the two to hand over the affairs, and Liu Bei took over the management of various affairs.
Counting the newly arrived infantry, Liu An's 3,600 men have all arrived, and their strength is no less than that of the Chakshi tribe.
In this way, even if there are dissatisfied soldiers in the Chakshi tribe, Liu An can suppress them with force.
After the handover between the two, two quarters of an hour had passed. Liu An asked Chakshi to immediately take two thousand Xianbei cavalry and detour to the Butte tribe to ambush on the road that must pass from the Chakshi tribe. When the Butte tribe fled in panic, he would
If they stop them, they will either kill them or surrender them.
Then Zhang Fei and Lu Bu were asked to lead the cavalry and ambush five miles away from the tribe.
He and Gao Shun led the remaining Xianbei warriors to form a formation outside the tribe's gate to meet the enemy.
Although Liu An adopted a strategy to lure the enemy, he could not let the enemy enter the Chakshi tribe.
There are not only the young, old, women and children of the Chakshi tribe in the tribe, but also more than 5,000 Han Chinese with weak health. If the enemy is allowed to enter the tribe, even if the enemy realizes that they have been tricked, these people will inevitably suffer the aftermath of the war.
It is not feasible to move people out of the tribe in advance. With so many people, there is no place to resettle them.
Moreover, it was already dark at night, and the lights were dimly lit at night, making it difficult to see clearly. The crowd was very likely to get separated.
As for Liu Bei, Liu An asked him to lead two thousand infantry and form a formation inside the gate to protect the Chakshi tribe and a group of Han people.
The weapons equipped by more than 2,000 infantrymen this time are all spears. Although they are not weapons produced by the system, more than 2,000 spearmen are arrayed to respond to the enemy. Even if the opponent is the Xianbei cavalry who is good at fighting, if they dare to charge head-on, they will inevitably lose money.
great.
Spearmen are a type of infantry that can restrain cavalry. To a certain extent, they can be used to resist horses in formation to respond to the enemy.
After all arrangements were made, Liu An and Gao Shun waited quietly.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, most people suffered from night blindness. This was especially true for residents of various grassland tribes who had long been eating meat and had very little intake of fruits and vegetables.
However, they waited patiently for movement. They could tell that the other party was approaching just by listening for movement.
Moreover, the generals and soldiers under Liu An's command have been eating rich meals in the past few months. Not only are they able to eat well, but under Liu An's special arrangements, they also pay attention to nutritional balance. Their night blindness has been greatly improved, and they are not afraid of fighting at night.
After waiting outside the door for about half an hour, Liu An heard the formation of horse hooves in front of him. In the darkness, he vaguely saw that the enemy was less than a hundred meters away from him, and he randomly ordered:
"Light the torch and throw it to the front!"
Liu An's military orders were passed down from level to level. After a while, countless torches were lit in the rear, and then they were thrown into the path of the enemy in front.
Relying on the momentum of their horses, the Bart tribe approached Liu An's tribe in an instant, and they were greeted by countless torches falling from the sky.
Many people were directly hit by torches, their hair was singed and their clothes were set on fire.
Bart's son, who was leading the charge at the front, knew at a glance that he had been tricked, and quickly ordered the entire army to retreat.
However, many people in the team were ignited by torches. In panic, they dismounted from their horses to put out the fire. However, the fire spread to the horse's body or tail, and the hair was still there. The frightened horses suddenly started galloping in panic.
Some of the horses trampled their owners to death while running around, and then bumped into other horses, setting them on fire.
The soldiers of Bart's tribe were instantly confused and no longer obeyed the orders of Bart's son.
Liu An saw this and ordered to shoot arrows.
As a nomadic people, the Xianbei people are not only brave in riding and fighting, but also very skilled in archery.
With the help of the fire burning in Bute's tribe, Liu An's soldiers bent their bows and arrows, and all fired towards the fire.
To prevent his cavalry from rushing into it and being affected by the fire, Liu An did not dare to charge against the Bart tribe and could only harass the opponent with bows and arrows.
When Bart's son saw his men acting like this, he cursed loudly, rode around his troops, and fled towards his own tribe first.
The rest of the cavalry who were not affected by the fire also followed the example of the leader, avoiding the people behind and retreating with the leader.
However, after walking for less than a quarter of an hour, I heard the sound of firing crossbows from both sides.
Immediately afterwards, amid the screams one after another, the people behind Bart's son fell off their horses one by one.
Bart's son couldn't see what was in front of him and was so frightened that he even waved his whip desperately and drove the horses towards the direction of the tribe.
However, he didn't run very far when he saw a silver light approaching him quickly under the moonlight. He hurriedly raised his sword to block it, but the silver light suddenly dropped a bit, and then his sword was blocked by the sword.
It bounced from bottom to top.
Bart's son is now twenty years old, and he is definitely considered a brave man among the younger generation of the tribe, but the owner of the silver light is many times more powerful than him.
After just one confrontation, his weapon was knocked away by the opponent.
Knowing he was outmatched, Bart's son was riding his horse to escape when he suddenly felt a pain in his chest, and then he saw himself flying.
The chance of life passed quickly, and when he was about to die, he finally saw that the general who killed him was a warrior with a beard and bronze eyes.
At the same time, many warriors of the Butte tribe who escaped back encountered battles in unknown circumstances.
There are only a few people who are lucky enough to escape from this place alive.
And a large number of Bart's soldiers who escaped back also encountered a second wave of ambush halfway.
Only a very small number of them were able to escape because they got lost on the way back because of the darkness of night.
On the other hand, Liu An asked his soldiers to use bows and arrows to eliminate all the enemy troops who were in chaos. After confirming that no one was left, he sent people back to inform Liu Bei to lead people to deal with the battlefield, while leading the Xianbei cavalry to pursue the enemy in the direction of escape.
.
By the time he arrived at the place where Lu Bu and Zhang Fei were fighting the enemy, the two men had already led their men to chase the enemy.
Liu An left half of his men to handle the battlefield with torches, and followed closely behind.
When I saw Zhang Fei and Lu Bu again, they were already in the Bart tribe.
Because the lost warriors of the Bart tribe had taken a long detour and had not returned to the tribe at this time, no one in the Bart tribe was prepared at all, and they were easily attacked by Lu Bu and others.
In the early morning, Chakshi, Lu Bu, and Zhang Fei had controlled the entire Bute tribe.
They gathered all the residents of the Butte tribe together and liberated the enslaved Han people among them.
Liu An led his soldiers to the prisoners, and it took him an hour to select 768 people from the nearly 20,000 people in the Bute tribe who had no compatibility or loyalty.
Among these people, there were old men in their fifties and sixties, and children under the age of eight, but Liu An did not show mercy and ordered them all to be killed.
A moment of weakness may cause endless troubles. Liu An would not make such a stupid mistake.
The rest of the people all expressed their willingness to surrender. As long as their lives could be spared, they were willing to do anything.
Of course, the main reason why they decided to surrender to the Han so happily was simply because there were not many capable warriors in the Butte tribe since Butte's men failed to attack Jiuyuan.
Tonight, his son made a desperate move and took away all the warriors of the tribe. Now, the only ones left in the tribe are young men, young men, women and children who are generally strong in strength.
In this case, what is the way out if we don’t surrender?
After surrendering the Bart tribe, Liu An gained another 1831 contribution points.
Then Liu An came to the place where Han captives gathered. The Bute tribe was indeed the largest tribe in Xianbei in the northwest, with nearly 10,000 Han captives in its tribe!
Just like in the Chakshi tribe, these Han captives suffered inhuman treatment. Liu An suppressed the anger in his heart and also comforted them.
After doing this, the east has turned fish belly white.
The soldiers fought all night and were very tired.
Liu An divided his soldiers into two parts. One part continued to guard the prisoners and clean the battlefield, while the other part asked them to take time to rest.
The Bute tribe was twice as big as the Chakshi tribe, and there were many camps during the period, which were enough for Liu An's soldiers to rest.
Liu An himself led his own soldiers to count the gold, silver, treasures and grain and grass supplies that Bart had collected over the years.
In the various warehouses of his tribe, his men found a total of more than 320,000 stones of grain!
Liu An estimated that such a large amount of food would be enough to feed more than 30,000 people in his tribe for ten months!
Even so, Bart still chose to go south to plunder the Han people after the autumn harvest. His intention was simply cruel!
In addition, his men also found nearly one million dollars in money and several jewelry and jades in Bart's private vault.
Bute is just one of the many tribes in Xianbei in the northwest. It is hard to imagine how much money Tanshihuai, who once unified the Xianbei tribes, and the leaders who now control the central Xianbei and eastern Xianbei have looted from the Han territory.
However, the eastern Xianbei and central Xianbei were more difficult to deal with than the western Xianbei, and they were too far away from Jiuyuan, so Liu An was unable to conquer them and was beyond his reach.
I can only suppress the fighting spirit in my heart for the time being.
In addition, Bart also built a specially built arsenal to store the weapons and armor he collected from the Han Dynasty.
However, the arsenal was locked. Liu An asked many prisoners but did not know where the key was. In desperation, he had no choice but to order his soldiers to break it open.
There are thousands of swords, guns, swords and halberds stored in the arsenal, but armor is rarely seen.
