Chapter 48: Tuoba Hong: I am a Huns with ideals and aspirations!
Yanmen County, Bingzhou
"The general discovered a large number of Huns tribes twenty miles ahead." A scout was reporting the military intelligence to Lu Bu.
After Lu Bu recovered from his weak state, he borrowed some food and grass from Zhang Yang and went to Yanmen, Bingzhou, to prepare to regain Yanmen Pass.
Yanmen Pass is an important pass on the Great Wall and one of the important lines of defense for the Han Dynasty against the Xianbei Huns.
But since Lu Bu killed Ding Yuan, no one was guarding Yanmen Pass. A large number of Huns crossed Yanmen Pass and came to Bingzhou. As a result, the Han Dynasty lost control of Yanmen Pass!
This time Lu Bu wanted to take back Yanmen Pass. During the march, there were also many Yellow Turban remnants from the Black Mountain Army who joined Lu Bu's Zhenbei team, which relieved Zhang Yang's pressure on the bandits.
In order to reduce the pressure on food and fodder, Lu Bu only brought 10,000 cavalry this time. The Hu people were good at riding horses and had little use for infantry, so he simply didn't bring them.
"How many people have you observed on the other side?" Lu Bu asked the scout.
"Back to the general, I haven't counted all the generals yet, but judging from the size of the tribe, there are no less than 20,000 people, and there are countless cattle, sheep and horses!" the scout recalled!
Lu Bu was overjoyed when he heard this.
"No less than 20,000 people! This is a big fish, and there are countless cattle, sheep, and horses. What they are short of now is food and grass. This group of Huns came at the right time!"
"Zhang Liao obeys the order, you two will lead the front cavalry to surround us from the right wing."
"Cheng Lian, Gao Ya, you two each lead a thousand cavalry to surround from the left wing and block Yanmen Pass to prevent this group of Huns from escaping!"
"Others will fight with me head-on. This is our first battle back to Bingzhou. We must annihilate them all to suppress the power of the Han people!"
"The last general takes command!"
Lu Bu spread his military orders one after another.
The Huns who were far away did not know that they were in danger, so they all gathered together to boil goat milk, drink wine and brag.
"Hahaha, come and have a drink with me. Without my wise leadership, we wouldn't be sitting here eating meat and drinking wine today." One of the little bosses raised his glass and paid tribute to the leader Tuoba Hong.
"Yes, yes, let's toast to brother!" Others also echoed.
"Brother, when will we go south this year!" The first little boss asked Tuoba Hong. In the past, Yanmen Pass was guarded by Ding Yuan, and they couldn't get in even if they wanted to. But now it's better. Ding Yuan is dead, and it's just a matter of time to get in and out of Yanmen Pass.
Just like returning to your own home.
"Hahaha. When winter comes, it's time for us to go south!" Tuoba Hong laughed.
Although he was not the first person to know that Yanmen Pass was unguarded, he was the first person to lead the Huns to move into Yanmen Pass.
When the Xiongnu people learned that Yanmen Pass was unguarded, they all discussed whether this was a treacherous plot by the Han people and did not dare to step into Yanmen Pass. He was the only one who had the courage to lead a group of Xiongnu people into Yanmen Pass.
It was precisely because of this that he took his first bite of fat meat. Last winter, he went south and robbed a lot of Han people's supplies. After a fat year, if he hadn't been stopped by Zhang Yang, the Shangdang prefect, and someone who claimed to be the Montenegrin Army, he felt that he could do it.
Create an unprecedented glory for the Huns and enter the most lively and prosperous Sili in the Central Plains of the Han people!
Since then, more and more Huns have joined them, and the number has reached 30,000. They are preparing to conquer the Central Plains in one fell swoop. I heard that the women in the Central Plains are very good at water. They can squeeze out water with a pinch, and they can take back a Han woman to be their wife.
It's something Tuoba Hong dreams about every night.
"Brother, do you think the Han people will send people again to take back Yanmen? I heard that Wuhuan and Xianbei who were preparing to go south were beaten badly by Gongsun Zan in Youzhou!" asked a worried little leader Tuoba Hong.
Said, especially when he mentioned Gongsun Zan, his neck unconsciously shrank back.
They had never thought about bypassing Yanmen Pass and entering from Youzhou before. Who knew that there was a more powerful being in Youzhou who would kill them without mercy when encountering foreigners like them, and once drove them from Youzhou back to where the Huns were?
of grassland.
"Don't worry. Now the Han people are in internal strife and have no time to talk to us. It's our chance to go south. As for Wuhuan and Xianbei, hahaha I can only say that they are out of luck!" Tuoba Hong laughed and said, Fortunately, Gongsun Zan only
He is not responsible for managing their Youzhou and Bingzhou affairs, otherwise he would not be able to enjoy wine and meat leisurely now.
Tuoba Hong, who was about to raise his wine glass, suddenly felt a shaking of the earth, and the food on the wine table began to shake.
Tuoba Hong's face changed drastically when he saw it. He was very familiar with this phenomenon. This was a phenomenon caused by cavalry or a large number of cavalry galloping together.
"Enemy attack!" A thought emerged from Tuoba Hong's mind!
"No, cavalry, a large number of Han cavalry are coming towards us!" A Xiongnu tribesman ran into their camp in a panic.
"How many people are there on the other side?" Tuoba Hong grabbed the Hun by the collar and asked.
"I don't know, there are too many. They are densely packed everywhere, at least ten thousand people!" the Huns replied in a panic.
This was his first time to participate in such an activity as going south. He had never seen such a formation before. He was already frightened when he saw the Han cavalry!
"Ten thousand people!"
Hearing this number, Tuoba Hong's face turned black. Ten thousand cavalry charged towards them. In such a hurry, they had no way to resist and had no choice but to run for their lives!
His subordinates also looked unhappy, and these 10,000 cavalry directly shattered their dream of going south.
The sound of horse hoofbeats was getting closer and closer. The Huns in the entire Xiongnu camp were in chaos. No one expected that Han people would attack today!
"Brother, what should we do now, fight or run!"
"Yes, brother, please come up with an idea quickly!"
Listening to the sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer, Tuoba Hong's subordinates couldn't help but urge Tuoba Hong to come up with an idea quickly.
"Fight, pass the order, the whole army is ready for war, why should the Han people be afraid!" Tuoba Hong glanced at the frightened messenger and shouted.
He is a Huns with ideals and ambitions, and the opponent is not Gongsun Zan. Today he will defeat this Han cavalry and erase the Huns' fear of the Han army!
If Tuoba Hong knew what kind of opponent he would face today, he probably wouldn't think so!
Then Tuoba Hong took off the scimitar from his back and prepared to fight!
A large flag with the character "LV" written on it gradually came into Tuoba Hong's eyes.
"Kill!"
Tuoba Hong waved the scimitar in his hand and charged towards Lu Bu first. In a hurry, he could only form a cavalry of ten thousand people.
"General! The Huns are coming!" Wei Xu said to Lu Bu, pointing at the Huns who were looking ahead and charging towards him.
"Well done!" Lu Bu was not afraid at all. He was not afraid that there were many of them, but he was afraid that they would run away.
"Kill!" Lu Bu shouted loudly.
"Kill!" the cavalry who followed immediately shouted.
This sound was so loud that it shocked the sky. The Han army and the Xiongnu troops began to appear from this sentence.
"Boom!" The two cavalrymen collided with each other.
Lu Bu Fang Tian swung his halberd and several Xiongnu tribesmen fell down in an instant. They were like demons on the battlefield, harvesting the lives of the Xiongnu tribesmen one by one.
