In this moment, the Xianbei people rushed through the camp of the Xiongnu with weak left-behind forces and rushed to the back of the siege troops.
Although the Huns under Jinyang City were all elite soldiers in battle, they were also preparing for siege. The cavalry had not been on horseback, and most of the infantry had changed into short soldiers, supporting the cloud ladder and flying tower and other groups, divided into countless teams to form an array towards Jinyang. How could this place resist the surprise attack of the Xianbei people like wolves and tigers from the rear, and it was immediately in chaos.
What's even more troublesome is that since almost all the generals who commanded the troops were surrounded by Liu He, no one could command a counterattack in the military formation at this moment. Among the arrays that lasted for several miles, the sound of bone flutes was roaring, and dozens of cavalrymen were running around, and no one knew what to do. In just a moment, the reserve team stationed at the end completely collapsed. The Xianbei cavalry rushed back and forth, chopping off the heads of the Huns one by one like chopping melons and vegetables.
Liu He grabbed the armor that Xububa was wearing. He exerted so hard that his fingertips turned white, and when his nails slid on the leaves of the iron armor, they made a creaking and rubbing sound. He shook Xububa and said, "What's going on? Isn't it said that Jinyang is empty and empty? What's going on with those Xianbei people?"
After shook a few times, he shook Sububa away again and murmured: "How is it possible? How is it possible?"
As the crown prince of the Han Dynasty of the Huns, Liu He did not understand the situation in the northern border, at least not under others. He knew very clearly that the Tuoba Xianbei had the former Xiongnu lands in the desert, which were strong and strong, and had always been a rival of the Huns who were deeply afraid of. Not to mention that the central government Tuoba Yiyi was friendly with the former Bingzhou Governor Sima Teng, who sent troops several times to help the Jin army. The two sides had long formed a deep hatred.
However, in recent years, due to Yi Yi's poor health, the real power of the clan fell into the hands of Luguan, the Eastern Lord and Yi Lu, the Western Lord. These two families competed for power and profit, fought for each other's strength, and had no time to help the court. Therefore, Sima Teng suffered repeated defeats over the years, and eventually fled to Yecheng in a panic.
After Liu Kun took over Jinyang, he had contacted the Xianbei noble chiefs. The Huns and Han secret spies were widely distributed in Bingzhou, so he naturally heard about this. Perhaps the Great Shanyu also believed that Liu Yueshi could not use the art of uniting and connecting the mountain, so he decided to raise an army in the spring to go north.
But in the end, no one expected that the Xianbei people who were trapped in civil strife suddenly rushed their troops south, and there was no sign in advance!
Liu He thought of more. If this battle was a mistake, it would be one of the few major setbacks since the founding of the Han Dynasty of the Huns. So, how would the Great Shanyu view himself? The support of the ministers, good reputation, and the forces cultivated little by little under the low-key and forbearance over the years will be ruined?
He gritted his teeth, and didn't feel that his gums were bleeding: "The situation at this moment was not bad for my command, but because some officials failed to grasp the enemy situation! Chen Yuanda, the Huangmen Minister, was in charge of the secret spies, and spent money like flowing every day, but he could not detect the movements of the Xianbei people... These people were incompetent, and they actually stuck to the noble descendants of Li Gutu Shanyu in danger!"
"You guys say! Is that true?" Liu He gave everyone around him a fierce look.
Xububa's face turned pale and sighed heavily. The Zuoxian King Liu He has always appeared in front of everyone in a civil and military manner, which has attracted many important officials to accept it. Who knew that once the situation was unfavorable, he would be so panicked. What is the point of discussing these things now? It is serious to rectify the troops in time and kill the Xianbei!
Liu He gritted his teeth and murmured: "It's really hateful! If I can return to Zuoguo City, I will definitely impeach Chen Yuanda!"
Xububa didn't have the energy to say anything more. He waved his hand and several close-killers Liu He. Then he stepped forward and shouted to all sides: "Don't be panicked! Don't be panicked! You guys protect Zuo Xian King; King He Laiguti, please ask you to rectify the army and horses, and the rest will follow me!" With the roar, he drew his sword and unsheathed it, and rushed straight towards the direction where the Xianbei people came.
At this moment, the Xiongnu army was already in a state of turmoil. If he hesitated, the entire army would be defeated. Xububa had no choice but to lead the team to break the enemy's front slightly and gain a moment of time for the army to reorganize the front.
Generals including Qi Muda, General Jianwei and Liu Zhou, etc., all of them were in a clear mind. This was a critical moment of life and death, and they could not be neglected at all. Several generals gathered a team of about a hundred people, followed Xububa to form a storm formation, and instantly passed the Huns' large group of troops and collided with the Xianbei cavalry.
The battle between cavalry and cavalry is often only at a moment of encounter. All the tricks and tricks are useless at this time, it only depends on whether your moves are stable, accurate and ruthless. Xububa is one of the few masters of swordsmanship in the Huns and Han countries. At this moment, he circled and flew with his sword, as if there was a shining aperture in his hand. With the loud noise of the two armies colliding, two Xianbei cavalry fell off their horses. The Hun cavalry, who used Sububa as the sharp blade, was like a sharp wedge, deeply wedged into the Xianbei team.
When the two armies fought, the general's personal bravery was always the best to boost morale. Xububa was appointed as the Marquis of Zuogudu. According to the old system of the Huns, he was the head of the ministers of the different surnames who assisted the Shanyu in power. He had a very noble status. Seeing that such generals personally killed the enemy in front of the formation, the Huns shouted wildly and cheered for him, and their morale was restored.
Just hold the Xianbei people for a while, it only takes a while! Xububa gritted his teeth and thought that the scimitar in his palm made him even more ruthless, killing two Xianbei warriors one after another. After all, at this moment, nearly 20,000 people under Jinyang City were elite members of the Huns. Although they were caught off guard by the Xianbei people, the blood courage in their bones was still there. They only needed a little chance to breathe and stabilize their positions and launch a counterattack!
However, the period when the Huns dominated the grasslands was a long time ago. Now the Xianbei people are the overlords on the grasslands. The cavalry tactics of the Xianbei people were fast and flexible, exceeding Sububa's expectations. The main force of the Xianbei cavalry did not stop at all because of Sububa's interception. They were one step left and right, crossing Sububa's troops like a river flowing through the reefs, and continued to rush towards the Huns' army. At the same time, a small group of cavalry rushed into the diagonal attack. A short charge immediately separated Sububa and his subordinates. Dozens of people were each striving to surround Sububa.
Although he was surrounded by heavy siege, Xububa was not afraid at all. He rushed left and right, and there was no one who could join the horse when he was fighting. He roared: "Xubudang's descendant, Xububa, the Marquis of Zuogudu, is here! The dog breeds of the Xianbei people come to die!" He claimed his name and shouted fiercely, which would undoubtedly concentrate the Xianbei people's attention and reduce the pressure on the front of the army.
Unexpectedly, before his roar fell, there were waves of killing sounds coming from behind him. Xububa turned his head and saw the eyes rippled: The gate of Jinyang City was wide open, and a brightly armored Jin cavalry came out of the city. Behind them, the rolling smoke and dust covered the sky and the sun, and there were countless soldiers following him!
King He Laiguti of Zuo Jianshang was running around and organized a counterattack. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Xianbei people in the north fighting with the main Huns, he regrouped about a thousand infantry on the south side of the army. However, the Jin army suddenly launched a large-scale offensive, and He Laiguti's subordinates were frustrated, and the troops he barely organized were immediately dispersed.
"King He Lai, hold on! You must hold on!" Xububa shouted with a ferocious look, knowing that He Lai Guti couldn't hear it at all. But the cavalry of Biao Jin army rushed forward, as if cutting into the sharp blade of tofu, and was moving forward. In the blink of an eye, He Lai Guti's formation was broken through!
Turning back to look at the other side, the Xianbei cavalry was extremely fierce, rushing back and forth like beasts and ghosts. Under their offensive, the Hun army had no array at all.
By this time, anyone could see clearly. The two armies attacked each other forward and behind, and the Huns were in a state of despair! Xububa Lang howled like a wild scream, and almost fell off his horse.
On the battlefield, the swords and guns were as dense as raindrops, so Xububa was distracted. When he was a little confused, he felt a severe pain behind him. It turned out that a Xianbei cavalry took advantage of his unpreparedness and pushed the gun into his back rib. The gun was urgent and fierce, almost penetrated his body. The burning pain when the tip of the gun was squeezing into his internal organs made Xububa suddenly wake up. He turned around violently, and even broke the spear that pierced into his body with a snap. Then he waved the knife to slash the Xianbei man who was sneaking into his arms and chopped the sneak attacking two pieces from his neck to his waist.
The blood light soared into the sky, but it could not stop more Xianbei cavalry from rushing towards him in the bloody rain. Xububa shouted again and again, and his movements were still rapid, as if he had never been seriously injured. However, the Xianbei people were killed and besieged regardless of life and death. After a moment, he was like a small boat rising and falling in the sea, swallowed by the surging waves.
