More than six hundred heads were chopped off and stacked in one place, which looked really spectacular.
The smell of blood drifts into the distance, which is a deterrent and a warning.
The Huangtou Army officers were in shock. Only then did they slowly come to their senses. Their faces were pale, their bodies were exhausted, and they were on the verge of collapse.
Yang Qin looked ashamed.
The battle was terrible. Not to mention the injured, 500 of the 2,000 people died in the battle. If they hadn't had nowhere to run, they might have collapsed.
But the King of Liang also comforted them with gentle words, saying that they had done well on the first battlefield, and gave them dozens of captured iron armors and more than 300 pairs of leather armors.
More than 400 Xianbei assault cavalry exploded so many things.
It can be seen from here that this vanguard is stronger than the average army, but it cannot be said to be elite.
Perhaps it was because of their outstanding performance against Liu Han, or because they continued to defeat other tribes on the grassland, or perhaps for some other reason. These people were very arrogant and would fight each other whenever they came up. They were extremely fierce.
In fact, ordinary troops would really not be able to withstand their three axes.
Most of them collapsed during the continuous shooting process of riding bows. A few of them were able to persist until they attacked the cavalry. The final result is hard to say, most of them were overwhelmed.
This is probably why they have the confidence to ride and walk.
"Your Majesty..." When he saw Shao Xun coming, Yang Qin stepped forward to plead guilty: "It's my fault that you guys didn't practice well."
"Tuoba Xianbei defeated the Xiongnu and won nine out of ten battles. His combat power is not comparable to that of Liu Han. It has nothing to do with you." Shao Xun patted him on the shoulder and said: "I only heard that the rope head was powerful before, but this time I saw it.
, I was also surprised."
"Suotou didn't expect us to be so powerful." Yang Qin muttered.
"Haha." Shao Xun smiled and said, "Maybe the Tuoba clan thinks we are soldiers of Liu Kun and Wang Jun."
During the encounter, neither side knew the other's true combat effectiveness.
The Xianbei people were very confident and acted rashly.
The soldiers were also very confident and waited for him to rush over.
If we hadn't had more soldiers, it would have been possible for Suo Tou to succeed.
A few hundred cavalry overwhelming over 10,000 infantrymen may be a common occurrence for Suo Tou.
"What do you think of the rope head?" Shao Xun asked again.
Yang Qin thought for a long time, and finally gave only one word: "Wild."
"This evaluation is very appropriate." Shao Xun praised: "They are wilder than the Huns, and wilder than Duanbu Xianbei."
This is caused by the environment.
Yuwen Xianbei was more savage and fierce than Duan Bu Xianbei, and he was even less afraid of death.
Murong Xianbei was actually very wild, but Murong Xin had been trying to find ways to Chineseize him.
Last year they defeated Goguryeo, this was the second time.
Another time, Goguryeo, Yuwen Xianbei, and Liaodong Cui Ao joined forces and were defeated by Murong Xianbei.
Cui Ao, the governor of Pingzhou, has fled to Goguryeo. Goguryeo is also very frightened and does not dare to provoke anymore.
The Murong family has the final say in the entire Liaodong and Liaoxi counties.
As for the Yuwen clan, they are actually married to the Tuoba clan and have a good relationship - of course, in the face of real interests, a little marriage is nothing.
"This time, I can see the Tuoba clan's combat power." Shao Xun turned around, looked to the north, and said: "From now on, the attack on Tuoba must be based on the silver spear, black and black armies and government soldiers.
Fang Ke. I'm afraid ordinary troops cannot withstand those attacks from the Tuoba clan."
"But it's not enough. The land of Tuoba Xianbei is too big, too vast." Shao Xun looked at Yang Qin again and said: "The vast territory requires more soldiers. After all, the Huangtou Army needs to train more and be kind to me.
troops."
"As ordered." Yang Qin bowed and responded.
The Silver Spear Army needs auxiliary troops when going on an expedition, but these auxiliary troops should not be too bad, because there will always be times when you encounter the enemy alone. If you are defeated at the first touch, then why fight?
After leaving the battle site, Shao Xun returned to the half-repaired camp, looked at the hurried officers of the Yellow Head Army, and asked: "Have you seen them all?"
"I saw it." Everyone replied with different expressions.
"The real battlefield is like this, even more dangerous." Shao Xun said: "We will count the meritorious personnel and distribute rewards one by one after the class."
After saying that, he went straight to the top of a mountain and overlooked the north.
In the trumpet-shaped basin, there are rivers crisscrossing the basin, lush vegetation, and occasional hills dotted in it, but it is generally very flat.
This was a land suitable for farming and animal husbandry, but it was gradually eroded by the Xiongnu in the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao even moved the last batch of Han people here to Xingxing and gave up completely.
By the time of the Kingdom of China, this place was beyond the standard national border and had become a paradise for Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Wuhuan people. They were half-cultivated and half-grazed. Because of the abundant water resources, their lives were pretty good.
Langu County is at the bottom of this horn, guarding a passage for the Xianbei people to go south to Kelan and Taiyuan.
If we have the remaining strength, we still have to capture Caochengchuan, eliminate a southbound assembly area of ​​Tuoba Xianbei, and push the front northward.
There are still many Xianbei cavalry wandering on the Caocheng River.
There are piles here and there of about seven or eight hundred horsemen. They should be the troops who retreated after the attack failed just now.
Shao Xun took one last look at them, descended from the top of the mountain, and ordered the construction of the camp to continue, forming a corner with Langu County.
Two days later, he headed east toward Tianchi.
Conflict also broke out on Liu Zhao's side.
More than two thousand cavalry were directly defeated by Tuoba Xianbei, and they were sent back after a large plunder.
****
The first day of May, night.
On the plain wilderness, there were fires everywhere, so densely packed that it made people’s hair stand on end.
They say grassland is short of fuel, so it depends on where.
In the Yinshan area, there is really no shortage of it. In fact, many places that have been degraded into grasslands and deserts in later generations are still endless forests at this time.
Tuoba Yulu sent people to cut down wood and set fires in the gaps between farmland and grassland. It was actually not difficult to do.
Maybe the firewood contains a lot of water, and when it burns, it creates thick smoke and is extremely choking.
But no one showed impatience on their faces, because after the billowing smoke rose, it covered the sky and the earth, covering the surrounding areas like a tent.
The ground surface becomes dry and the temperature gradually rises, making people feel particularly comfortable on this cold night.
This is a frost-reducing method that has been passed down orally since ancient times.
They don't understand the advanced principles, they only know how to do it - there are three principles. First, the smoke rises and spreads along the inversion layer near the ground, forming a smoke screen to prevent the ground heat from dissipating and increasing the surface temperature; second, it will
The water vapor in the air evaporates to avoid the formation of frost; thirdly, the hot air continues to rise, disturbing the cold air, forming a weak wind, preventing the cold air from gathering. This method is mainly used at night when the cold wave strikes.
Amidst the billowing smoke, more than a hundred horsemen arrived on horseback.
The officials who had been waiting for the minister for a long time all bowed down and shouted "Your Majesty".
Tuoba Yulu was the Daijun Duke, but internally, he had already proclaimed himself the king and was called the "Daiwang".
As early as the Tuoba Yilu era, hundreds of officials had already been appointed, and there were even over-the-counter items such as imperial chariots.
Although Tuoba Yilu went south many times to participate in wars, defeated the Xiongnu for Liu Kun, saved Jinyang, and made the old forces (the leaders of nomadic tribes) dissatisfied within the Dai Kingdom, his changes to the country were profound.
They have stepped out of nomadism with one foot and entered feudal society, although the other foot is still stuck in it.
In addition, the Han people and Sinicized Hu people who came over also provided a large amount of technology, systems, and regulations.
These things are useful. Even if the old party looks down on the new party, it still recognizes the benefits of these things, and some changes have occurred unknowingly.
New and old are actually relative.
Tuoba Xianbei's so-called old party is more like the new party than Yuwen Xianbei, because the Yuwen family is more barbaric, ignorant and uncivilized.
"I heard that Bu Liugu's boy is dead?" Tuoba Yulu is a rather majestic man with a round face, a thick build, and bright eyes. He likes to stare at people and is quite aggressive.
As soon as he said this, everyone had different expressions.
Someone looked at him unabashedly, showing little fear.
Some people lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything.
There were also people with calm faces, as if Bu Liugu's death had nothing to do with them - it seemed that it was almost the same, everyone was just an alliance.
Yes, it is the Alliance of Tribes.
Although they were one family many years ago, they have been separated after all. We can use the name of Xianbei to communicate with each other, marry each other and even help each other, but in the end there are still differences.
"Your Majesty." The first person to speak was Liu Lugu. He only heard him say: "Bu Liugu's tribe must have encountered the elite of the Jin people. I heard that their infantry stood very firmly, and they were slightly panicked when their iron cavalry pressed against them.
, defeated but not defeated, and finally surrounded and killed hundreds of Bu Liugu's horsemen. This is a small setback and nothing to worry about."
Tuoba Yulu stood there attentively and said nothing.
In fact, it was not just Liu Gu and his family who were defeated.
The army has not yet been dispatched, but four groups of troops have already separated and headed south to test the strength of the Jin army.
Along the way to the west was Bu Liugu's tribe, which was defeated and suffered hundreds of casualties.
To the east was the Helan tribe, which defeated Jiehu in great numbers, captured them and returned them.
In the middle, they headed south from Yanmen to Xinxing, the headquarters of the Tuoba clan. The progress was very smooth and they encountered almost no resistance.
The Dugu tribe on the east route set out to go down to Guangning, but was blocked in the Shanggu area and returned without success.
The Dugu Department is also useless!
Thinking of this, he looked at Liu Lugu.
Liu Lugu is Liu Hu's younger brother. After Liu Hu was defeated and fled, he became the successor of the Tiefu Xiongnu. He currently also leads the Dugu tribe and is Tuoba Yulu's son-in-law.
The Dugu tribe and the Tiefu tribe have an inexplicable relationship, and they may even have the same origin.
During the Jian'an period, the Xiongnu Huchuquan Shanyu entered the dynasty. Cao Cao kept him and sent King You Xian to Bei ("Book of Wei" calls him King Zuo Xian, which is wrong) to supervise the country.
Qubei's son Liu Meng rebelled in the seventh year of Taishi's reign (271) and was killed by Li Ke, the governor of the left side of the Xiongnu.
After Liu Meng's death, his son Fu Lun fled with some of his troops and defected to Tuoba Xianbei, who was the predecessor of the Dugu tribe.
Liu Meng's younger brother Gao Shengyuan commanded the rest of the army and passed it to Liu Hu. He first surrendered to Liu Han and was defeated by Tuoba Xianbei. Then he crossed the Yellow River and fled to the west. He lived in Shuofang and took the initiative to attack Tuoba Xianbei again. After the defeat, he finally surrendered.
.
The number of the Dugu tribe was too small, while the remaining members of the Tiefu tribe were extremely large. Tuoba Yulu married his daughter to Liu Lugu and let them take charge of both tribes - in fact, they were already a tribe. The Huns were such a noble breed, and Liu Lugu
He is a descendant of King Youxian of the Zhenger Ba Jing, and his ancestor was also the master of the Dugu tribe, so there is no legal or bloodline obstacle.
"Since the army has gathered, how can we not miss a single target?" Tuoba Yulu took a few steps in the tent, looked at the thick smoke outside, and said in loud Xianbei dialect: "The Central Plains was in chaos and split into several groups. They
The people of China have no Shanyu of their own and are trapped in chaos and exhausted. However, our people are stable and stable.
, Brave, resolute, and smart, this will be a good time to go south. I want the Hun leaders in Bingzhou to be loyal to me, and let the people of the Central Plains accept my arrangements. You, the prominent nobles who follow me, will replace the ancient people of the Central Plains.
The family becomes the new ruler. Be prepared to go south the day after tomorrow - to inspect Pingcheng."
"Yes." Everyone responded in unison.
The voices were not very uniform, and the attitudes were also different. It was like some people were eager to go south quickly, some were indifferent, and some wanted to see Tuoba Yulu defeated.
The interior of Tuoba Xianbei was also a mess.
