The Xianbei people are said to have 200,000 horsemen, but the actual number of warriors is about 30,000 to 40,000.
Others may be able to ride horses and shoot arrows, and may have no problem dealing with ordinary people. However, when encountering a strong enemy, they will be killed, and they can easily become an unstable factor that leads to collapse.
Most of these people were used as supplementary strength by Fu Luohan and arranged to graze in different positions.
Fulahan's central army was truly elite. If they defeated Fulahan's central army, they would have defeated the entire army.
The core of Xun You's plan is to use Ma Teng's troops to attack the Fu Luo Han army, and finally destroy the leader of the Xianbei army.
All that's left is to hunt down and expand the results.
Perhaps because Gao Shun's night attack affected the Xianbei people's rest, the battle went more smoothly than expected. Under the double blow of Lu Bu and Ma Teng, Fu Luohan only lasted for half an hour before he collapsed and chose to escape.
The barbarians are fearful of power and have no morals. It is useless to reason. You must hit them head-on and hurt them before you can speak properly.
While Xun You sneered, he couldn't help but feel troubled.
The emperor was young and could risk his life and death, the fate of the country, and fight with all his strength regardless of the consequences.
Can the successor still have such courage and courage?
Even if the emperor has the courage, it is not a good idea to resort to military force. There is a high probability that he will go back to the old path of peace and appeasement.
How can we completely solve this problem?
"Mr. Xun, the victory or defeat has been decided, what are you worrying about?" Pei Jun asked softly.
As a close minister of the emperor, Pei Jun knew very well that the situation in front of him was the result of Xun You's planning. What he didn't understand was why Xun You was frowning and looking worried when everything was going as Xun You expected.
Xun You turned to look at Pei Jun with awe in his eyes. He didn't want to say anything at first. But when he thought of Pei Jun's father Pei Mao and brother Pei Qian, he changed his mind and told Pei Jun and Cai beside him about his worries.
Yan, Yang Xiu and others listened.
Pei Jun was filled with admiration. "Mr.
Others also agreed.
Cai Yan was silent and Yang Xiu didn't speak either.
——
Fu Luohan was lucky and rode his horse across the river to reach the south bank.
Thin layers of ice surrounded his legs, and the cold river water soaked his legs, chilling him to the bone.
Fu Luohan's heart also felt cold.
The frightened screams of the knights who were swept away by the water kept coming to my ears. Just wading across the river, the damage was very considerable.
Even if he could escape back, his vitality would be severely damaged and he would no longer have the strength to compete with Bu Dugen.
"Abba, Abba." Xie Guini suddenly shouted.
Fu Luohan was distraught and wanted to whip Xie Guini twice. If he hadn't been misled by Xie Guini, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation. Xie Guini vowed that he could defeat the Han emperor, but as soon as they fought, he was defeated.
He was defeated by the Han emperor and fled on horseback.
"What's up?"
"There... there are cavalry over there." Xie Guini stammered, his already pale face getting even paler, with no trace of blood visible.
Fu Luohan looked up and saw a group of cavalry on the south bank of the river. There were about a thousand cavalry, and they were rushing towards them. The Xianbei people who had just landed were no match at all. They were killed so hard that they turned their backs on their backs. Many people turned around and fled back to the river, being drowned by the water.
Wash away.
Fu Luohan took a deep breath and subconsciously jerked his horse.
The war horse was in pain and ran wildly, kicking and splashing the river water.
Fu Luohan got ashore before the cavalry arrived, and then ran westward.
The army collapsed and suffered heavy losses. At this moment, even if the opponent only had a thousand riders, he was no match.
Turning defeat into victory has become a luxury, and escape is the only option.
Seeing Fu Luohan running away, the other Xianbei people were not in the mood to fight and ran after Fu Luohan.
——
Wangfu galloped forward with his horse, like soup splashing snow, all the way.
The Xianbei people fled away, and few stepped forward to fight. Even if they did, they could not stop the Han knights and were easily destroyed.
Together with Huchuquan and Qubei, he left the camp, crossed the river, and headed west along the south bank. His initial task was to lure the enemy.
Xie Guini chose a frontal decisive battle, and his mission became a half-crossing attack.
But the war situation developed faster than he expected. Just at noon, the Xianbei people collapsed, and a large number of Xianbei people waded across the river.
He failed to intercept Fu Luohan and was unwilling to give up, so he ordered a pursuit.
Last time, we were only a few hundred steps away and failed to catch up with Luo. We passed by Qianhuhou. This time, we must not let Fu Luohan go no matter what.
Thousands of soldiers from the Northern Army left corpses and blood along the way, staring at Fulohan's battle flag, and pursued them closely.
Huchuquan arrived later, but they did not have the same ambition as Wang Fu. They ran back and forth along the river bank, killing the Xianbei people who had just crossed the river and driving them back into the cold river water.
The Xianbei people were leaderless and trapped in a dilemma. They screamed at the sky and the earth, struggling in vain in the river. Some people took the risk and rushed ashore, taking advantage of the Huns' limited strength and inability to fully control the weakness of the entire river bank, and took the opportunity to escape.
The south bank of the river was full of Xianbei people who had fled.
——
On the north bank of the river, the Han army launched its final attack on the Xianbei people.
After a short rest, the Yulin Cavalry and the Jia Cavalry turned around and attacked the Xianbei people.
The Xianbei people were already in disarray. Facing the galloping armored cavalry, they had no courage to fight. They rushed their horses into the river and joined the defeated ranks.
The armored cavalry encountered almost no real enemies. Everywhere they went, there were broken troops fleeing.
After a charge, the armored cavalry withdrew from the battlefield, and the Yulin cavalry became the battlefield scavengers.
Zhang Xiu led his troops in fierce pursuit, destroying the Xianbei people's sporadic counterattacks time and time again, and drove the Xianbei people into the river.
The personal guard Zhang Wei followed him, watching the surroundings vigilantly, fearing that a cold arrow or stray arrow would fly from somewhere and injure Zhang Xiu, who was capable of killing but was not well protected.
Ma Chao saw it and was filled with envy.
As Huben's minister, he must accompany the emperor and cannot chase death like Zhang Xiu and kill as fast as he can.
——
On the east side of the battlefield, General Zhang Yang of Du Liao arrived with his troops.
Before arriving at the battlefield, he had already seen Wang Fu and others rushing westward on the south bank of the river, but he didn't quite understand them.
Until he saw the Xianbei troops wading across the river in retreat.
Although he didn't know why the Xianbei people were defeated so quickly and miserably, years of fighting made him realize that this was a good opportunity to kill a large number of Xianbei people and behead them for meritorious service.
A broken army without formation has no combat effectiveness. Even if there are ten or a hundred times the strength, they are just a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
The Duliao camp rushed into the battlefield and killed wantonly.
Gao Shun and Lu Xiaohuan followed soon after. Before they reached the battlefield, they saw the Xianbei people drifting with the river. Knowing that the victory or defeat was decided, they speeded up and rushed to the battlefield.
They were not in a hurry to decapitate him for meritorious service. They first walked along the foot of the mountain on the edge of the battlefield and found Lu Bu who was fighting.
Seeing his daughter in military uniform, Lu Bu's eyes lit up and he laughed.
"My daughter looks better in armor."
"That's right, she is your daughter, Lu Fengxian, and she was born to go into battle and kill the enemy." Wei Xu shouted, "Xiaohuan, let's go together? My uncle will accompany you to the battle again."
"Okay, okay." Lu Xiaohuan got what he wanted, raised his sword, and galloped toward the battlefield.
Wei Xu also changed his horse and followed.
Lu Bu nodded with satisfaction. "Ziping, thank you for your work."
Gao Shun bowed his hands and saluted, and said lightly: "Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."
