"If you break the barbarian, you must use the strategy of the Dragon Tao, and if you accumulate armor, the Xiong's ears should be leveled." [Three poems sent to my nephew Zheng Guan to join the army]
Outside the Great Wall, the Xianbei Zhonglang general Zhou Yu, who had received military orders, led the school captains Liang Xing, Zhang Fei, Shuofang County captain Chen Dao, and the cavalry captain Cao Ang, with a total of 7,000 horses appearing on the grassland. At this time, Bu Dugen had already
His vitality was severely damaged, and the tribes that relied on him deserted one after another. However, in order to respond to the imperial edict and hope that the imperial court could avenge him, thousands of horsemen were sent to assist him in the battle.
Fu Luohan was still in the process of being pleasantly surprised at this time. What he was happy about was that he had lost to Bu Dugen in a row before, and his power in Monan was unprecedentedly strong. Even Ke Bineng had to defeat him. What was surprising was that the reaction of the Han court was so great.
, put on a fight-to-the-death stance.
He originally wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Han army had not come, and lead his troops to flee north to avoid the limelight, but Kebi Neng happened to be blocked in the east and north directions. He also sent envoys several times to comfort and encourage him, and even
Hinting at Fu Luohan: "Since the Han Dynasty reconquered the Central Plains and preached revival, their troops have been undefeated in many battles. If your Excellency can win another battle and defeat the power of the Han people on the Great Wall, who will not support the three Xianbei tribes?"
Hearing that Ke Bi Neng intended to recommend him to be the chanyu of Xianbei, Fu Luohan hesitated a little and began to seriously consider whether to fight the Han army head-on.
The subordinates also persuaded them with great insight: "Sir! The Han army is just relying on its excellent soldiers and armor. If they really want to fight to the death, how can they be compared to warriors like us!"
"We are familiar with the grassland. We know where there are water sources and where there are hills. On the other hand, when the Han army came from the south, have they ever seen the grassland?" Someone tried to persuade him: "I remember that there is something in the Han family's so-called art of war.
It is said that the time, place, and people are favorable, and now we will occupy the second place! Let’s fight, my lord!”
Yu Zhutan, the envoy sent by Kebineng, also fanned the flames: "Don't worry, sir, our troops will not stand idly by. When the war begins, our troops will attack Liaodong and Shanggu to help you."
Fu Luohan laughed heartily. He did not expect that his son Xie Gui Ni would be restless below.
Before nightfall, Zhou Yu led his troops to a mountain plain. The scouts were crouching on the grassy slope. Underneath, one could see continuous fires lighting up the tents, and the smell of barbecue was blown by the wind.
This is a Xianbei tribe that is attached to Fu Luohan. They took the opportunity to seize the pasture where Bu Dugen retreated. Although they were responsible for the vanguard, they did not think that the Han Dynasty would go to war for Bu Dugen, so they played with each other.
Singing, I didn't feel the approaching crisis at all.
Cao Ang boldly raised his upper body and checked the tent and campfire to confirm the number of people in this Xianbei tribe.
"...Go back and report to General." Cao Ang ordered to the person on the left: "There are probably more than ten thousand people. Excluding the old and weak, women and children, there are no more than three thousand young and strong people."
"Here!"
After the scout sent the message, Cao Ang turned to a thin young man on the right and said, "Anmin, are you afraid?"
Cao Anmin swallowed his saliva and whispered: "We have already killed Fuluohan's 100,000 troops, are we still afraid of this?"
"Well said!" Cao Ang patted his cousin's shoulder encouragingly. The hardships he had followed him in Shuofang all these years were not in vain, and he was considered worthy of being sent into battle: "This is the first time we are waiting for Fenglang Juxu."
The battle, the eternal fame, is now."
Then someone came from behind with Zhou Yu's military orders, and ordered Cao Ang and others to lead their cavalry into the formation.
Cao Ang immediately stood up, quickly got on his horse, and with the sound of a shot fired from behind, he took the lead in riding his horse over the grassy slope and rushed towards the Xianbei camp.
"The Han army is coming!"
"Bu Dugen is coming to kill!"
Panic-stricken shouts were heard one after another in the Xianbei camp. The Xianbei people who were suddenly attacked were in chaos. The cavalry rushing down the grassy slope were so fierce that it was difficult to distinguish the number under the cover of twilight, but it was like thunder.
Don't dare to underestimate the sound of horse hooves.
Cao Ang did not give the opponent a chance to organize resistance, and rushed directly into the camp. With a spear in his hand, he carried the burning firewood into a nearby tent. The Han army behind him also followed suit. Soon, the camp
Fires were lit everywhere, and frightened cattle, horses and other livestock neighed and fled in the camp.
The Xianbei people couldn't bear to abandon the tribe's cattle, sheep, old and weak, so they tried to organize the young and strong to gather together and hold on.
Seeing these Xianbei people forming a simple circular formation, Cao Ang laughed. Is this what the Xianbei cavalry is like?
Because the Xianbei people gave up their breakout, the cavalry led by Cao Ang successfully surrounded them. Zhang Fei, Chen Dao and others who arrived later also led their troops around from the other side of the camp. These Han troops who were skilled in archery
The cavalry rode around the Xianbei people and shot arrows, regardless of whether there were old, weak, women and children among them.
The Xianbei people used horses and oxen to form obstacles, and also began to raise their bows and shoot arrows to block the Han army's attack.
Chen Dao, who came from the rear, said to Cao Ang: "General Zhou said that if you throw more torches in, the fire will not kill you, and the smoke will kill people. Rushing into the battle will only increase casualties and is in vain..."
Before he finished speaking, Captain Zhang Fei yelled angrily when he saw that the gap had not been opened, and personally led the cavalry forward. Zhang Fei rode his horse forward, pulled the reins suddenly, and his mount led the cavalry forward.
He immediately jumped over the obstacle and landed in the middle of the enemy formation. The Xianbei people were startled by the flying general. Before they could react, Zhang Fei killed more than ten people in a row. A gap suddenly appeared in the originally tight circular formation.
Cao Ang shouted excitedly, and regardless of Chen Dao's astonished expression, he led Cao Anmin through the gap and fought through the gap. Encircling without attacking would certainly lead to greater results, but for Cao Ang, a hearty fight would be
And the credit you get is more important than anything else.
The Xianbei people quickly dispersed, and the situation turned into a one-sided massacre. Chen Dao did not expect that things would develop like this.
"Zhang Yide is such a fierce general." Zhou Yu, dressed in white armor and riding a horse with a calm posture, came over. He looked at Zhang Fei who was hunting with Xianbei in the formation. He was not angry because the other party disobeyed orders, but smiled and said
: "It's really a pity that I have been serving as a military commander or a county commander in various places in the past few years."
Chen Dao cupped his fists and said, "General, now this..."
"It doesn't matter, these Xianbei people are going to be killed anyway." Zhou Yu said lightly. Although the victory was achieved, it is two different things from disobeying the order. Otherwise, it would be difficult for the forward troops to enforce the order: "Our army
Take no prisoners, let them kill them, and we will discuss military law afterwards."
Chen Dao sighed silently, watching Cao Ang galloping and enjoying himself, he suddenly thought that he was not much different from Cao Ang, so why couldn't he feel the passion in it?
"Cao Gong's son is also a good general." Zhou Yu commented to himself. He was looking at his team. Suddenly, he noticed a burly figure. If he hadn't been wearing Han armor, he would have looked rough.
Like a barbarian: "Who is this captain?"
Chen Dao looked at it carefully, thought about it in his mind, and said, "It's Army Commander Pan Liuxi."
"Pan Liuxi?" Zhou Yu rarely heard a person with a double-named name, so he subconsciously said, "Is he not a good citizen?"
Chen Dao chuckled lightly and said: "It would be better to say that he is not a 'Han citizen', he is a naturalized Huns. So far, many old Xiongnu people call him 'King Youguli'."
"King Youguli..." Zhou Yu whispered this title that has become history.
