Volume 4 Chaos in the World Chapter 190 Vanguard War
Chapter 190 Vanguard Battle
When the Nongdu Lieutenant Ma Teng and the Cavalry Colonel Yang Aruo received the report from the cavalry that tens of thousands of Xianbei troops had invaded, they were both stunned. They came back again, and instead of attacking Youzhou and Lizhou, which were closer, they took a detour and attacked Liangzhou and Beidi. What's worse is that the governor of Liangzhou, Geng Bi, was defeated a few days ago, and the rebels surrounded Hanyang County. , Gai Yin, the general of the bandit lieutenant, and Guan Yu, the captain of the Northern Territory, went to the rescue. They not only took away the elite Shehu and Luodiao 2nd Battalion of the Northern Territory, but also took away more than 10,000 farmers, Qiang and Hu soldiers, all the elites they could mobilize. There are pitifully few scholars.
Yang Aruo shuddered all over, and ordered Tan to ride on his horse and inform Gai Jun, the prefect, and said to Ma Teng: "I will take people to intercept the Xianbei army and try to delay it as much as possible. Brother Ma quickly evacuated the people and recruited soldiers to prepare for the war." Yang Aruo was very determined. After saying this, without waiting for Ma Teng's reply, he ran out quickly with long strides. The horn of the horn sounded, and the two thousand knights quickly gathered in place. At the same time, the Han and Hu cavalry arrived in full armor and armed with troops. There are more than three thousand cavalry gathered.
Seeing Yang Aruo leading his people to the north without hesitation, Ma Teng stared at it for a long time and sighed. That Xianbei was coming with great momentum. Can Yang Aruo withstand an opponent ten to twenty times his own? Others don't know, but Ma Teng is. Knowing that if nothing happens, Yang A'ruo will become the son-in-law of Gai's family in Dunhuang. If he has any shortcomings, let Ma Teng explain it to Gai Jun.
Ma Teng's heart was spinning a thousand times, but his face was calm. At this moment, he couldn't panic at all. If he panicked, the entire Tuntian District of Beidi County would be over. Sitting peacefully in the Nongdu Weibu, he announced with a strong voice Every order.
Soon, a young man with a tiger-like head and horns strode over and shouted: "Father, uncle..." This young man was about twelve or thirteen years old, six feet long, with a strong build, and was considered tall among his peers. , with copper-colored skin, a square face, a straight nose, eyes as bright as paint, and a lively spirit, anyone who sees him will say that he is a handsome young man.
This man was the eldest son Ma Chao. When Ma Teng saw that he had a bow and arrows on his back, he became furious and shouted: "Damn it, didn't I send someone to tell you to hide at home? What are you doing out here with a bow and arrows? My people are dead even if they are dead." There's no need for you to go to war like a brat. Go back quickly." Ma Chao will not turn twelve until one month later, so it's not a bad idea to call him a brat.
Ma Chao was full of enthusiasm, but his beloved father poured cold water on him. He looked unconvinced and argued: "I am good at riding and shooting. My uncle often praises me for my bravery, which is better than my elite soldiers."
Ma Ju smiled sarcastically. What his nephew said was true. The problem is that no matter how good the elite soldiers are, they are still cannon fodder. They are far from being warriors. On the battlefield, swords have no eyes. We are at a disadvantage. Even their generals are in danger of their lives at any time. What's more, Don't talk about a child.
Ma Tenghu glared and said, "Your uncle was complimenting you on purpose, but did he really take it seriously? Get out of here and stop causing trouble for me."
Ma Chao took two steps back to distance himself, and then said stubbornly: "I won't leave. I want to fight the Xianbei people."
"I..." Ma Teng chased after him and raised his hand to beat him. Ma Ju hurriedly hugged Ma Teng's waist and persuaded: "Brother, Hutou is almost twelve years old. The Qiang people are already on the battlefield at his age. , let him see it."
Ma Teng gave his brother a slap in the face and said, "Just spoil him." He said this but stopped chasing the horse away.
Ma Chao didn't dare to take advantage of the situation, lest he provoke his father to renege on his promise, so he secretly winked at his uncle.
Ma Ju smiled bitterly and shook his head, his nephew...
----------------------------------
Silence, hundreds of people filled the entire Beijifu Temple, falling into a deathly silence.
Gai Jun sat on the main seat, raised his left hand and gently rubbed his eyebrows, Xianbei native
In the sixth year of Xiping (AD 177), a locust plague spread at the right time and affected the grassland. From spring to autumn, Xianbei launched more than 30 attacks to the south.
Thousands of cavalry went straight into the grassland. Tan Shihuai, the king of Xianbei, adopted the strategy of luring the enemy in and completely annihilated the Han army. The three generals Xia Yu, Tian Yan, and Zang Min only managed to escape with dozens of cavalry. Tu Teruo, the Southern Huns who joined the battle,
Shanyu was seriously injured and died. Gai Jun happened to be studying in Taixue at that time and paid special attention to this battle. He couldn't figure out why Xianbei didn't appear in the Three Kingdoms since he had such a powerful force. In the fourth year of Guanghe (181 AD)
Not long after Gai Jun got married, he was living a peaceful life with his two wives in his hometown of Dunhuang Guangzhi. He suddenly heard that Tan Shihuai had passed away and that his son He Lian could not convince the public. He suddenly realized that it would be difficult for Xianbei to produce another one like Tan Shihuai.
Shi Huai is such a hero. In recent years, Xianbei has stopped harassing the Han Dynasty, which further confirms Gai Jun's guess.
"I never expected that the Xianbei people would actually come back again."
Huang Zhong first took away 5,000 people, Gai Yin, and Guan Yu took away another 20,000 people. The current Beidi County is undoubtedly the weakest since Gai Jun took office. The Xianbei people chose the right time to invade.
“The luck of the Xianbei people is truly incredible.”
"Did this invasion happen in history, or was it because I changed the course of history?" Gai Jun stood up slowly and walked out step by step.
"Fu Jun..." All the officials in the Beidi, headed by Chang Shi Liang Gu, stood up with anxious and hesitant faces. Today's Beidi County was rebuilt by them bit by bit, just like their children...
"Hurry up and gather the people from the countryside and let them hide in the city. Don't take away the heavy household items that hinder movement. Nothing is more precious than life." Gai Jun kept walking and said as he walked: "I'll be back as soon as I go. Wait for me
Good news."
"Husband..." Gai Jun just left the house and saw Cai Wan and Bian Wei hurriedly holding their young son in their arms. Gai Yi and Gai Mo burst into tears when they saw the atmosphere was solemn and depressing.
"Which garrulous guy told you? Don't look like you're about to die, or you'll scare my son." Gai Jun knelt down, touched the second son's head and said softly: "Fuping, Wei Nu, don't cry, Ah.
Father, go beat up the bad guys. After beating the bad guys, I will come back and play with you, okay?" The second son, Gaimu, was too young and couldn't hold back his voice for a while. The eldest son, Gaiyi, was almost five years old and was already sensible. He leaned on his father's side.
A low whimper in the chest.
"Husband, you..." Cai Wan spoke, Gai Jun waved his hand and said: "Xianbei may not be stronger than Xianling. In the North, I defeated hundreds of thousands of Xianling Qiang troops in Anding, let alone tens of thousands of Xianbei. He just beat me.
I was just caught off guard, maybe there will be some trouble, but I am a fallen eagle with a long history of making Hu people afraid, no one can defeat me." After saying the last words, Gai Jun's eyes were firm and full of confidence.
Cai Wan and Bian Wei's beautiful faces were filled with sadness, and the thousands of words stuck in their chests finally turned into the word "careful".
"Go back quickly." Gai Jun said with a smile, and pinched Erzi's pink face.
When I heard that Fujun Gaijun was going to the front line to fight against the Xianbei people, the volunteers in Fuping City responded one after another. In a short time, more than a thousand people signed up. Together with the county soldiers, there were more than 2,000 prefects. By the time Gaijun left the city,
The number of people exceeded 3,000 in one fell swoop.
"Brother-in-law, wait for me, wait for me..." Bian Bing led dozens of evil youths in the city, and the rangers caught up from behind.
"You brat, have you informed your sister?"
Bian Bing chuckled and said, "I got it."
Gai Jun glanced at him sideways and said, "Do you think I will believe it?"
Bian Bing said proudly: "Brother-in-law, can you still drive me back?"
"Smelly boy..."
----------------------------------
Yang Aruo led more than 3,000 horsemen to the north along the muddy water. They could not travel more than ten miles, and they recruited Qiang and Hu. Thousands of Han people were good at riding and shooting.
"Captain, look over there..." Che'er pointed into the distance.
Yang Aruoshun looked forward to it, his eyes focused.
Corpses of Han Chinese civilians floated down the muddy water one after another. No matter male or female, old or young, they all stared directly at the sky, seeming to tell their misfortunes. A group of crows followed them, croaking and crowing, pecking at the exposed muscles of the corpses.
The scene was so bloody that I couldn't bear to witness it.
Yang A'ruo felt a surge of anger rushing straight to his forehead, his ears were ringing, and his scalp was exploding. He gritted his teeth and said: "Xianbei wild dog, how dare you do this, bullying me and no one in the north? I would be ashamed if I didn't slaughter all these beasts."
"Born as a human being"
Pound waved his arms and wailed at the top of his lungs: "Hate, kill!"
"Hate hate hate" the soldiers' eyes were like torches and they roared like thunder: "Kill, kill, kill..."
The soldiers of the Han army rushed northward with an anger that could not be washed away by all the water in the river. After traveling for dozens of miles, they saw more than a thousand Xianbei people chasing and killing the Han people who were not turning around.
The Xianbei people were completely unafraid and continued to wave the butcher knives to kill the Han people calmly. When there were only a dozen people left, the Xianbei people stopped and pointed at the Han army. They waited until the two sides were five meters apart.
In a hundred steps, the Xianbei people slaughtered the remaining Han people one by one, roared with joy, and rushed straight towards them.
provocation naked provocation
"Kill -" Yang Aruo put on the ghost mask, holding the knife in his right hand and holding the sword in his left hand. The burning murderous intention in his eyes shot out through the two small holes in the ghost mask.
"Kill——" Pang De and his chariots lifted up their chariots and separated a thousand men from the group, fanning out to both sides to prevent the Han army from being able to exert its numerical advantage when the Xianbei people rode and fired.
"Great Xianbei——" More than a thousand Xianbei cavalry refused to be outdone, ignored the Han troops on both sides, and targeted Yang Aruo's central army.
"Boom boom..."
The Han army rode with bows and fired hand crossbows, arrows whizzing out, a mass of blackness. The Xianbei people only had leather armor on their bodies, and hundreds of them were killed in an instant.
The Xianbei people fought back in anger, the sound of bowstrings and the sound of breaking through the air were intertwined. The Xianbei and the Han people have been fighting for hundreds of years, and they are too familiar. The Han soldiers have daggers on their heads, armor on their bodies, and cavalry shields tied to their arms.
, like a wild boar with rough skin and thick flesh, which is difficult to kill with one arrow, so those who thought they were excellent archers would shoot at the faces and necks of Han soldiers, and those who were average archers would shoot at war horses.
Dozens of riders in the front row of the Han army suddenly rolled and fell to the ground. Some of the knights on the horses suffered fractures, and some of the more serious ones fell to death. There were no survivors.
"Whoosh..."
The two sides fired another round of arrows and entered the range of hand-to-hand combat. At this time, the Xianbei people had less than a thousand people, but they still had no intention of retreating. It seemed that they thought they could break Yang Aruo's central army, and the Han troops on both sides would naturally flee.
"Looking for death." Yang Aruo sneered, raised his hand and shouted: "Kill——"
The Han army was well-equipped and feared no one. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Huns were strong and they fought head-on with the Han army. Wei Qing used his elite troops to seize the center of the Huns and charged fiercely. It was in vain even if hundreds of thousands of his opponents were defeated, they were all defeated.
What the Han army was afraid of was that the nomads would run away after being hit, or they would hit the civilians with a hammer in the east or a hammer in the west. If they could not catch up, they would be helpless.
"kill--"
"Da Xianbei——"
The Han army and the Xianbei army each shouted slogans, as if two roaring waves were about to collide.
Who can convince whom?
"Rumble..."
Two big waves hit each other, splashing out bloody spray.
After the ferocious collision, a bloody mess was left on the ground. Not to mention the people, the majestic war horse also suffered broken chests and fractures.
The Xianbei people's spears have a long and slender blade, just over a foot long. They open on both sides, and the handle is about 10 feet long. The total length is only one foot long, which is far less than the Han army's eight-foot-long spear. Therefore, the Han people generally call the Xianbei people's spears Sui.
, that is, a small spear. The Han army's horse cavalry was seven or eight feet longer than the opponent's long soldiers, and it was extremely sharp.
Without the help of Pang De and Che Er on both wings, Yang Aruo led the Chinese army with just one charge and killed most of the nearly thousand Xianbei. The remaining hundreds of Xianbei were defeated in embarrassment. The Han army caught up with them and slaughtered them. No one escaped the net and they searched non-stop.
A goal.
In a Qiang village by the muddy water, the Western Xianbei master Rilu Deyan walked out of the inner room with his trousers lifted, showing a comfortable look. He looked at the guards who were looking at them with helpless eyes and swallowed repeatedly. Rilu Deyan laughed and cursed,
Waving their hands, the guards shouted long live and swarmed in.
"Your Majesty, your majesty has not diminished." Xiaoshuai Huai Nu immediately flattered him.
Xiaoshuai.
"I'm old, I can't accept it anymore. In the past, I could last from noon to sunset... Among the women on the grassland, who doesn't know how good I am at X-law deduction?" Riyüan shook his head with some emotion.
Said. Rilu is nearly sixty years old. He has a strong body and rough appearance, which gives people a very dirty feeling. Although he is a relatively hygienic person in Xianbei. From his age, it can be seen that he is Tan Shihuai.
He is an old minister and has eight more than 20 cities in the west and more than 20,000 warriors. He is the most powerful person among the lords in the west.
The Japanese law deduction is not satisfied with He Lian, because Xianbei believes in the spirit of the wolf. When the wolf king dies, the strongest wolf from the wolf pack must be selected to become the new wolf king. For hundreds of years, Xianbei
He faithfully implemented this tradition, and whoever had the ability would be the lord of Xianbei. However, when Tan Shihuai died, he ignored the Xianbei tradition and actually passed the throne to his son Helian.
Is a little wolf cub worthy of leading a pack of wolves? The adults of Xianbei were indignant, but they had no choice but to say that Tan Shihuai was the greatest king in the history of Xianbei, and his power was still there. He also left hundreds of thousands of tribesmen and tens of thousands of elite warriors for his son and company.
For a time, no one in the three tribes dared to take any action. But people's hearts were divided. The Xianbei people nominally respected Helian as king, but they did not listen to the king's orders and went about their own affairs. They robbed each other's tribesmen, cattle and sheep, openly
Violating the rules set by Tan Shihuai that no members of the same clan can kill each other.
Rules? What bullshit rules? You even break them yourself, and you still expect us to abide by them?
Xianbei has fallen from the peak of glory.
Several years passed, and the adults in each tribe found that they were getting poorer and poorer as they fought, which was incomparable to when Tan Shihuai was king, so they all thought of going south to plunder the Han Kingdom, but before that, someone had to stand up and take the lead.
At this time, King Xianbei and his company came up with a plan to escape the secluded area and invade the northern land. Not only could they unexpectedly seize rich property, but they could also avenge Tan Shihuai's tragic defeat in the past.
It makes sense. You sent 3,000 and I sent 5,000. We gathered 50,000 soldiers and horses, and Helian sent 10,000 soldiers. A total of 60,000 horses went south. Because the main force was mainly Xianbei in the west, the western adults such as Rilu Deduction took the vanguard.
location..
"Why did you come out so quickly?" Yanliyou, who is also a Westerner, laughed, his pride undisguised.
Rilu Deyan snorted coldly: "I just came out, not to mention I went in earlier than you."
Yanliyou stopped joking and looked at the boiling Qiang village and said: "How many years... I thought I would never have the chance to enter the Han Dynasty..."
Rilu Deyan squinted: "Don't you want to take refuge with that little wolf in Helian? What benefits has he given you?"
The relationship between the two was extraordinary, and Yanliyou bluntly exposed his shortcomings: "You are so old, why can't you let go of your ambition?"
Rilu deduced: "I admit that I have ambitions. But I am not just for ambition. Only by following the wolf's rules can Xianbei occupy the grassland forever. I don't want Xianbei to become the second Huns."
Yanliyou disagreed with Rilu's opinion and argued: "Even if Helian is not as good as King Tanshihuai, he is still from Xianbei..."
Xianbei scouts ran over quickly and reported: "My lords... The Han army is coming. Several of our troops have been defeated."
Japanese law deduction, Yanliyou looked at each other, the Han army came so fast? Impossible
Yanliyou asked: "How many Han people came?"
"Four to five thousand riders."
The two men secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Their combined strength was ten thousand. Not counting those who went out, there were five or six thousand in the stronghold. There were tens of thousands of troops from Zhi Dian Luo Luo and others a few miles behind. "Cai Cai.
Thousands of people. Gather everyone and start the war."
The Xianbei people were just enjoying their lives when an order to assemble suddenly came. As you can imagine, they were definitely not in a happy mood. They quickly finished their work, picked up their pants and ran out. Some people even had their buttocks bare.
It took the Xianbei people a full two-quarters of an hour to assemble. Although Rilu and Yanliyou were dissatisfied, they didn't care too much. Don't look at them now, but once they get to the battlefield, they will definitely perform well.
After giving the order, the Xianbei soldiers lined up in a long queue and filed out of the Qiang Village.
"Rumble..."
The sound of the Han army's hoofbeats became louder and louder, and Yanliyou finally changed his expression and urged the soldiers to move quickly.
"Kill——" Yang Aruo raised his head to the sky.
"Kill——" The Han army's eyes were as red as blood.
The Xianbei army was stuck at the gate of the village, and only two to three thousand people came out. Facing the Han army rushing at high speed, the Xianbei troops howled and clapped their horses forward. Amidst the continuous sound of horns, the two sides violently charged together.
Yang Aruo held a large potion flat and used the horse's momentum to exert force. The Xianbei warrior on the opposite side raised his wooden shield and the tip of the potion hit the shield. It pierced the shield like window paper, tore the leather armor, and penetrated the Xianbei people's sternum, muscles, and internal organs.
, broke out from behind. The Xianbei man suddenly left the horse's back and hung in the air. At the same time, he felt heartbreaking pain. He grabbed the rod with both hands and howled with all his strength. Yang Aruo carried the Xianbei man and used him as a shield.
, all the way forward, during this period, the black knife in his right hand was swept across continuously. Whether the Xianbei people on the side used shields to resist or used swords and spears to attack each other, they were all broken with one touch, and their heads and bodies were cut off.
Cha'er, Pang De followed closely behind, the two of them were like two black swimming dragons, stabbing continuously. The Xianbei people either covered their faces or throats, turned over and fell from their horses. The three of them formed an indestructible small arrow.
, the Xianbei people were killed by three people until their faces were as pale as earth, but there were people all over the place on the left and right, and they couldn't avoid them.
When the Han army saw how brave their general was, they became more courageous, stabbed him with their swords, and marched forward with wild shouts.
The Han army of more than 4,000 people was gathered hastily by Yang Aruo. Some of them were good horsemen and archers among the people. Not to mention iron armor, they didn't even have leather armor. They also carried hunting bows and hatchets, which were not even as good as the Xianbei people. But
The two thousand people who rushed at the front were members of the cavalry school captain Yang Aruoxiao. They were all wearing iron armor. They used crossbows at a distance and knives at a close distance. They were armed to the teeth. It was very easy for them to kill the Xianbei people. With their sharp weapons, it was very easy.
Use less of the second move. It is relatively difficult for the Xianbei people to kill them. It usually takes three or four deaths to save the opponent's life. However, the Xianbei people also have an advantage. The Xianbei people in the stronghold keep using infantry bows to attack the Han army.
If people can stop the Han army's charge, it will be a matter of time before they kill all the Han troops.
The question is, is it possible?
The Han army was originally more numerous than the Xianbei people outside the stronghold. The front row was well-equipped, the generals were brave, they had hatred in their hearts, and their morale was at full level. These were all factors that ensured victory. How could they resist it? The Xianbei people lasted less than half a quarter of an hour.
They were defeated and fled to both sides.
"Don't worry about the defeated troops. Kill - enter the village and annihilate all the Xianbei people." Yang Aruo took the lead and threw out the big sword, which turned into a black lightning and shot into a Xianbei person who was trying to close the gate, and then threw the black knife in his right hand.
, kill another person. He went to the village gate with his bare hands. In an instant, countless spears were stabbed. Yang Aruo pulled the reins to lift the horse. The horseman stood up to block the Xianbei people's spears for him. He slid off the horse and pulled out the Xianbei people.
The black knife on the man's forehead then jumped into the village.
The width of the village gate is limited, and both sides are blocked here. The horses cannot charge forward, so they can only fight on foot, with chariots and Pound dismounting one after another, leading hundreds of people to charge inward with ring-headed knives.
The Xianbei people's spears are not as long as the horse, and their short-hand soldiers are not as long as the Han army's ring-shou sword. The Xianbei people's short-hand soldiers mainly use swords. The grassland has always been short of iron, and the handles are basically made of copper. Some simply use sword blades, and the sword body is also made of copper, and
When the Han army's steel ring was touched, even if it didn't break immediately, it would break into a big hole.
With Yang Aruo, Pang De, and Che'er's crazy attack, as well as the help of the Han archers from behind, Xianbei in the stronghold did not escape the fate of their previous companions and collapsed after a quarter of an hour.
"Kill all the Xianbei bastards..." The Han army's eyes were scarlet and they charged into the village with their swords raised.
Yang Arruo shouted at the top of his lungs: "We don't have time to waste time. Kill all the Xianbei people as quickly as possible. There must be a Xianbei army nearby."
The Han army responded with a bang and wanted to torture the Xianbei people, but had no choice but to attack the most vulnerable areas.
