The Xianbei cavalry who finally escaped were galloping in the rain of arrows. Ma Chao led only 5,000 Dawan cavalry to pursue the Xianbei cavalry.
The war lasted from Japan to China until sunset, and the sun in the west was like a red balloon, covering the earth lifelessly. Only 20,000 of the 140,000 Xianbei cavalry rushed out with injuries, and 120,000 were annihilated by the 80,000 Sichuan cavalry.
Corpses of Xianbei cavalry were everywhere on the slope. Horses without knights were wandering in the wilderness. Especially the corpses of Xianbei cavalry at the gap were piled up like mountains. The blood burned the yellow grassland red and glowed white in the sunset.
point.
General Wang Yue killed the last Xianbei cavalry who resisted, and looked at the battlefield with cold eyes, his heart fluctuating violently.
From the time he was a teenager, he became a martial artist and traveled around the world. Wang Yue's ideal was to drive away the barbarians and show his power in the desert.
When he was young, he took the head of the leader of the Qiang people, which was just a small fight. Later, he followed Wu Jun to sweep the southern Xiongnu, which was just helping the evil.
Following Liu Zhang's order, he entered the grassland and captured almost all the tribes of Wuhuan and Xianbei in a great battle. However, this was just opportunism because the Xianbei and Wuhuan armies were out in force.
Only today, with an open and hearty war and the corpses of hundreds of thousands of foreigners, did Wang Yue finally feel like he had achieved his wish.
"I didn't expect that I, Wang Yue, who has lived up and down for decades and wasted his time in his sixties, could achieve such a great victory. The Han army severely damaged the Xianbei army. Even if I die, there is no regret."
Wang Yue is now glad that he made the choice to stay north of Chang'an, that he waited for a month in Chang'an, and that he endured countless ridicules in that month.
Otherwise, there would be no late-night meeting with Liu Zhang in prison, no Wang Yue galloping on the grassland, and no today's battle. With this battle, Wang Yue knew that his name would be recorded in history.
"Army attack."
Leaving his army to clean up the battlefield, Wang Yue led his cavalry to pursue the Xianbei cavalry. They met Ma Chao's pursuers in front of a river. On both sides of the river were the ruins of bridge piers.
"General, the Xianbei army broke down the river bridge and ran away. In the end, the general only killed the cavalry who were seriously injured and fell behind." Ma Chao reported.
"It's okay. It's getting dark. Even if the bridge is not broken, it will be difficult to catch up."
Wang Yue ordered: "Immediately order people to build a bridge overnight, and the rest of the army will follow me to take over the Xianbei army's headquarters."
"yes."
The troops marched towards the Xianbei base camp. The entire Xianbei army was dispatched, and there were no soldiers in the Xianbei base camp. Wang Yue successfully took over the Xianbei base camp, but before it settled down, soldiers came to report.
"General, there are many people coming outside the camp, saying they are here to work for the army."
"Working in the army? Can the people of Hebei still work in the army?"
Hebei is no longer the most prosperous area in the Han Dynasty. Wang Yue walked out strangely. As expected, there were many people outside, many of whom were carrying baskets with eggs, noodles and cakes in them.
"Take it, take it. If you hadn't driven away those beasts, we wouldn't be able to survive."
"Take it. Those beasts are not human beings. The Wei army doesn't care about us. We have long been waiting for the King of Shu and the Sichuan army to arrive."
"A little thought. Accept it."
The army used spears to block the people, and the people outside kept passing baskets in.
Wang Yue couldn't help but feel sad when he looked at the thin, yellow-skinned people, who wore thin clothes and had dirty and disheveled hair. Some even had children who looked malnourished.
"The people's support can be relied upon." Wang Yue sighed.
"Should we harvest it?" Wang Shuang asked. To be honest, the Sichuan soldiers really looked down upon the food brought by the people from Hebei in normal times. The people in Sichuan had always been able to get by, and after the harvest, there was no shortage of food.
Food such as egg noodles and pancakes are considered ordinary by the soldiers.
But this was given by the common people to celebrate their victory, and it was given by these common people who themselves had no food to eat and no clothes to cover their bodies. The soldiers were very touched. Naturally, those baskets of black flour cakes and eggs were no longer so
ordinary.
"Take it." Wang Yue said.
"Receive it?" Wang Shuang looked at Wang Yue in surprise. Although he felt very touched in his heart, he couldn't bear it at all. That is, until now, no Sichuan soldier has accepted the food.
"Collect it, our food will arrive soon. We will chase the Xianbei army tomorrow morning, and we won't be able to eat the food. Distribute it all to the people."
"Okay, I'll make these eggs for dry food tonight." When Wang Shuang heard what Wang Yue said, he felt relieved. He still wanted to eat the food sent by the people. The meaning was different and the taste was definitely different.
Same.
Under the orders of the general, the Sichuan soldiers hesitantly took the food from the people.
"Thank you folks."
"Thank you."
"Leave one for this little sister."
Seeing the Sichuan soldiers collecting the food, they were all relieved. An old man stood up tremblingly and said to a Sichuan general: "General, when will the King of Shu come, and when will the Sichuan army invade Hebei?
If you come, we people in Yuyang will be saved, but we still have relatives in Fanyang, Zhuo County, and some are still in Yecheng. The Sichuan army will capture Hebei as soon as possible, and we Hebei people will have a peaceful life in two days."
The old man cried as he spoke, and other people also agreed.
How could the Xianbei Army and the Wuhuan Army be so honest? During this year, the Xianbei Army and the Wuhuan Army not only continued to ask for supplies from Yecheng, but also regarded Youzhou as their own back garden, robbing everywhere and making the people miserable.
Not to mention, Youzhou was robbed and Yecheng came to collect taxes. The people were miserable. They also heard that the territory under the jurisdiction of the Sichuan Army had undergone earth-shaking changes and that the people of Sichuan were living a life of ample food and clothing.
Knowing that the Sichuan Army was outside the Great Wall, I waited day and night for the Sichuan Army to cross the Great Wall.
When they heard that the Sichuan Army had finally launched an attack on the alien army and had broken through the Great Wall, the people of Youzhou were almost excited, but they still didn't expect the Sichuan Army to be so fast.
The people in the Yuyang area heard that the Sichuan army fought with the Xianbei army at Xiwangpo. They never expected that the battle would end so quickly. Only when they looked at the corpses of foreign soldiers scattered all over the mountains and plains did they know that this was true.
After burning, killing and plundering for a year, most of the foreign troops were turned into corpses in one day under the Sichuan army. Only then did the people know that the rumors were true. The King of Shu, Liu Zhang, was reincarnated. The Sichuan army was invincible and would surely be unified.
The world.
At dawn on the second day, the Sichuan army dispatched 60,000 people, divided into three groups, each consisting of Dawan cavalry and archer cavalry. They were led by Wang Yue, Ma Chao and Wang Shuang respectively to pursue the Xianbei army. Zhao Yun stayed at the camp and distributed distribution to the people.
Military rations.
There is no way, among these strong men, Zhao Yun is the only one who can do everything without being surprised in the face of merit.
At the same time, the results of Xiwangpo's battle were reported to Youzhou, and the people of Youzhou cheered for joy. Uprisings against the Wei army broke out everywhere.
Due to the popular support, Youzhou surrendered to the Sichuan Army.
Xian Yuyin led the Youzhou garrison to intercept the Xianbei army.
"Huh~~" Liu Zhang let out a sigh of relief after listening to the battle report, "If I had known this, why would I have put so much effort into setting up a pocket array? This is like casting a huge net to catch a fish as big as a loach."
Liu Zhang did not expect that Wang Yue, leading an army of 80,000, could defeat the Xianbei army so badly that only less than 20,000 people escaped. He also did not expect that there would be a rebellion in Youzhou. Xian Yuyin directly killed Chen Gong, and the entire Youzhou
Attachment.
However, this is also reasonable. When a large-scale civil uprising occurred in Jiaozhou during the Sichuan army's attack, which directly wiped out all the family members in Jiaozhou, Liu Zhang and Huang Yueying knew that the world's trend had entered another stage.
In the past, everyone feared the clan like a tiger, but now everyone regards the clan as a fat sheep. As long as the Sichuan army comes, the clan will suffer.
Now Youzhou is full of people's rebels, and the families left behind have been plundered.
In fact, these aristocratic families now have nothing to talk about. Apart from a few rooms and land, there is nothing to divide. The gold, silver, wealth and family property, as well as the main members of the family, are basically in the military.
The aristocratic families in Hebei and Youzhou had long been reduced to empty shells, and they were all twisted together to try to resist the Sichuan army. These so-called "rebels" could only grab a few roof beams.
Xian Yuyin is a member of Xian Yufu's tribe and also belongs to the aristocratic clan. I am afraid that he rebelled in advance because he had a long-term vision and thought about what the rebels would say, so he killed Chen Gong and joined the Sichuan army first, making the rebels fearful of Xianyu's family.
But even so, Liu Zhang did not want the order to be completely chaotic and become a scene of fighting against the local tyrants to divide their land. He immediately ordered many ambush troops to enter Youzhou to maintain order. The remaining troops were enough to guard the pass.
The Xianbei army ran one night ahead of the Sichuan cavalry, but Xianbei's horses were no match for the Dawan horses. Moreover, everyone in the Xianbei cavalry in Youzhou was shouting and beating them. There were many twists and turns during the escape, and the Sichuan cavalry soon bit their tail.
"Report, the Sichuan cavalry is only fifty miles away from us." A soldier from the rear reported urgently.
"What? If this continues, with the speed of the Sichuan army, they will be overtaken today." Bu Dugen said in horror.
"We fought with the Sichuan army." The old Xie Guini saw that there was no hope of escape. In addition, he was stabbed in the battle at Xiwangpo. He never received proper treatment and only had a hasty bandage. Now he is physically exhausted and can no longer run.
Moved.
"Why fight? To fight to annihilate the whole army? The Sichuan army's cavalry is too powerful. If I had such cavalry, I would be more beautiful than Wang Yue." Wuhuan leader Tadun said fiercely.
At this time, the foreign leaders didn't care about Tadun's big words. They only knew that Tadun's first sentence was right. A hard fight would only lead to the annihilation of their entire army.
Now the situation is clear. We can't run away. The Sichuan army's cavalry is too fast.
We can't fight, the Sichuan army's cavalry is too strong.
At this moment, another soldier came to report: "Report, there is a troop approaching from the south, and they are raising a few flags."
"Xian Yuyin." Bu Dugen said harshly. They already knew that Xian Yuyin, the governor of Youbeiping, killed Chen Gong, the shepherd of Youzhou, and forced Youzhou to surrender. Originally, they planned to go to Youzhou to get some supplies and go on the road with Youzhou.
The state defenders delayed and got rid of the pursuing troops behind.
