Just as the yellow scarves were everywhere on the Han side and the smoke of war was rising, the aliens on the grassland were not at peace either. The situation was also changing and turbulent.
Fortunately for the Xiongnu, there were only some minor conflicts between Wanyan Aguda of the southern Xiongnu and Genghis Khan of Mongolia. Over the years, small battles like this between the two people have become accustomed to it, and it is not surprising.
However, at present, the gap between the two sides is not big. Although Genghis Khan has some advantages, his strength is limited. In a short period of time, it is unrealistic for both sides to annex whomever.
Xianbei is even more powerful now. Before the opportunity comes, even heroes like Genghis Khan and Wanyan Aguda will not easily provoke Xianbei, the grassland overlord, let alone other people. Therefore, Xianbei is still calm on the surface.
However, the Tuoba tribe in Xianbei in the east and the Yelu tribe in Xianbei in the west have annexed several small and inconspicuous tribes during this period.
However, on the grassland, it is normal for the weak to eat the strong. Therefore, except for those small tribes, no one else pays much attention to these things.
But it would not be an exaggeration to say that Wuhuan's situation was earth-shaking.
Originally, Wuhuan Shanyu Qiu Liju saw that the Han Dynasty was in civil strife and was unable to extend his hand, so he had the idea of taking advantage of the situation. Nearly 150,000 Wuhuan cavalry came roaring, and this time Wuhuan almost used the entire army.
More than 90% of the tribe's strength is to take advantage of this golden opportunity to tear off a piece of flesh from the big man.
Unfortunately, Wuhuan picked the wrong time. At this time, the Han Dynasty was rising up together, with outstanding people emerging in large numbers. In the original history of the Three Kingdoms, all the tribes in the grassland were ravaged by the various forces of the Han Dynasty, let alone now.
Although now, neither Liu Bang nor Qin Zheng can match Wu Huan in terms of military strength. However, the two men have more capable men than others, and they are full of talented generals.
The same cannot be said for Wuhuan. The leading generals are all mediocre people, and they are no match for the generals under Liu Bang and Qin Zheng. Therefore, although Wuhuan has strong troops, the battle is not progressing smoothly. On the contrary,
It was the big man who had a slight upper hand.
Even Tian Yu, Liu Bang's general, once secretly took the initiative and united with Qin Zheng's general Li Xin to ambush Wuhuan. In one battle, they directly killed 8,000 Wuhuan cavalry.
Eight thousand cavalry may not seem like many, but it is very rare to achieve such a result by surrounding and killing the cavalry with infantry. After this battle, after Peng Yue, Zhang Han and Li Xin, Tian Yu's reputation began to spread.
It spread among the new generation of generals in Youzhou.
However, this alone is not enough to hurt Wu Heng, and it is far from being able to hit Wu Huan's forces. Wu Huan's headache is still to come.
When the system first triggered balance, Nurhachi was born early. However, Haci's luck was obviously not good. The implanted identity was just the leader of a small tribe, but he directly provoked the behemoth Wuhuan.
Therefore, as soon as Nurhachi was born, he was forced to embark on the road of escape.
Wanyan Aguda, who was born in the same batch as Nurhachi, was much luckier than Nurhachi. As soon as he was born, he immediately became one of the top tribal leaders in the southern Xiongnu.
He didn't deal with it, but it was obvious that with the power of the Wanyan tribe, even Yu Fuluo had no choice but to fight Wanyan Agu.
Later, Wanyan Aguda seized the opportunity decisively and directly killed Yufuluo, the Xiongnu Chanyu at that time, and ascended to the position of leader of the clan.
But Nurhaci is also worthy of the name of the Taizu of the Qing Dynasty. He is worthy of being a figure who was able to raise troops with thirteen suits of armor and establish the Houjin regime. Although Nurhaci obviously had a bad start in this life, he did not sink after all. Instead, he hid on the side and secretly accumulated strength.
Waiting for good opportunities.
Nurhaci's waiting was not in vain, and Qiu Liju's expedition just gave Nurhaci a good opportunity.
The reason is very simple. Qiu Liju can be said to have mobilized all the troops of his clan to go south this time. At this time, the Wuheng hinterland is seriously empty, and this is Nurhachi's best opportunity.
Nu'erhachi, who had been hiding among the white mountains and black waters, saw that Wuhuan had revealed such a big flaw, and immediately devoted all his strength to recruiting almost all the young men of the tribe, selling iron and steel to form an army of 8,000, a mighty force.
Dangdi attacked the Wuhuan tribe.
With the Wuhuan army outside, how could the various Wuhuan tribes withstand Nurhaci's offensive? Before Wuhuan could react, one-third of the Wuhuan tribes fell into Nurhachi's hands.
After Qiu Liju, who was far away on the border of Youzhou, heard the news, he immediately turned his horse around and hurriedly led his troops back for reinforcements. He was not in the mood to continue attacking the Han and plundering Youzhou.
However, it was not easy for Qiu Liju to evacuate from the hands of famous generals such as Peng Yue and Zhang Han. Therefore, Qiu Liju lost another 10,000 troops and horses just during the retreat.
From Nurhachi's perspective, he naturally understood that if he waited for Qiu Liju to return with his troops, he would not be a match for Qiu Liju with his current power.
However, Nurhaci, who had finally waited for such a good opportunity, naturally found it impossible for him to give up the victory he had obtained. God knows whether there will be such a good opportunity again in the future.
Therefore, Nurhachi decided to go all out and surprise Qiu Liju on his way back to Wuhuan the night before.
That night, Nurhaci personally charged forward and led his sons Dorgon and Duoduo as well as 5,000 cavalry directly to the Qiulijuzhong Army Camp.
He sent his sons Huang Taiji, Daishan, and Chu Ying to lead three thousand cavalry directly to the place where Wuhuan's grain and horses were.
Since then, the characters that Nurhaci brought with him when he was born have also been revealed. The five people Nurhaci brought with him are all his sons. However, this Nurhaci not only has extraordinary ability to lead armies in battles, but also has extraordinary ability to give birth to children.
It's not admirable, but all his sons are brave and good at fighting.
In this battle, it was not Nurhaci who made the first contribution, but his son Huang Taiji. Huang Taiji led the charge all the way, and within a short time, the horses in the Wuhuan Camp and the cattle and sheep that were used as food and grass were all under Huang Taiji's command.
Under the fire, they were frightened and fled in all directions, causing chaos in the Wuhuan camp. If this continues, even if the Wuhuan generals who reacted wanted to lead a counterattack, they would not be able to do so.
What's worse is that the nomads are all born knights, and they are all good at cavalry combat. But success is also a failure, and failure is a failure. The Wuhuan knights' combat power plummeted after losing their horses.
Nurhachi, who led the troops to charge all the way, encountered no decent resistance at all along the way. The Wuhuan knights who lost their horses almost forgot how to fight, and were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, being wantonly charged and killed by the army led by Nurhaci.
