Chapter 179: Surprise Attack on the Tang'an Tribe
At this moment, the general of the Liuyi cavalry, who was ambushing the enemy in the middle of the grass, had no other way but to turn his heart to the enemy cavalry in front of him.
These cavalry who blocked the way had already been prepared, and they relied on some blocking objects such as branches and horses in front of them to successfully slow down the advance of these cavalry.
Although the number of cavalry blocking the road was small, they were still extremely brave, desperately trying to make use of the narrow road to try to stop the advance of the enemy cavalry, and behind them, many infantry appeared to assist the cavalry in front of them to stop the enemy.
There were enemies blocking the way in front, and people on the left and right sides were constantly shooting long arrows from the long grass, and there were even people who picked up shields and spears and attacked them directly.
In this case, the casualties of these cavalry were high. The sound of screams, neighing horses, and shouts of killing are intertwined, making this usually very quiet grassland very noisy.
Seeing that the casualties of his subordinates were getting more and more serious, the 5,000 cavalry led by himself had been surrounded. The cavalry general who led the army was completely red-eyed, and he commanded his cavalry, desperately attacking the soldiers who stopped them in front.
The battle didn't last long, less than an hour.
In the end, the five thousand cavalry, at all costs, finally opened an opening and rushed out. But the price they paid was still relatively heavy, and more than half of the cavalry remained in this meadow forever.
This ambush battle achieved such a great result, which Tuoba Du and his men had not expected before.
At this time, the Liuyi men under Tuoba Du were busy collecting the supplies left by these cavalry, especially the war horses that were still galloping on the grass.
Tuoba Du led the people out of the swamp this time, but they were forced to leave the war horse department in the swamp, and now the nearly 1,000 excellent war horses that they unexpectedly obtained are really a relief in the snow.
Some of these horses were lost, and some were temporarily wounded and killed in battle, but in the end there were more than a thousand of them, which could be used by everyone immediately. With these horses, the combat power of Tuoba Du and the others immediately increased by several grades.
"Mr. Ju, thanks to you this time, not only did we get so many supplies, but we also let the other party try to encircle our encirclement, and there was an opening. Now we rushed out from this opening and quickly moved closer to the direction of Quanzhou. Tuoba found Ju Yuanguang and thanked him excitedly.
"Hehe, Ju is just giving advice, and it is these bloody warriors who really make meritorious contributions." Ju Yuanguang said with a smile.
Immediately afterwards, Tuoba Du turned to Yang Yun and said, "If the eldest brother hadn't come from thousands of miles to assist this time, the younger brother and I might have already reported to the Hades Palace." I immediately let the team march to Quanzhou, and then organize my brothers from various tribes to fight to the death with this old boy from Kuban. ”
"I think that if we go in the direction of Quanzhou now, maybe the old boy of Kuban is waiting for us in front? Why don't we go and make another profit! Yang Yun looked at his righteous brother with a fox-like smile on his face.
"What do you mean by this, brother, tell me in detail!" Tuoba Du asked with a puzzled face.
Listening to Tuoba Du's words, Yang Yun smiled without saying a word, turned around and came to an unfolded topographic map, and pointed to a small circle on the map.
"Oh my God! Tang Ang tribe, that's not far from the base camp of the Kuban! Tuoba couldn't help but exclaim.

The Tang'an tribe is a medium-sized tribe of Liuyi, with a permanent population of 50,000 or 60,000 people, and the people of this tribe are very warlike, and their combat ability is still very strong, with nearly 20,000 standing troops.
This Tang'an tribe is a die-hard supporter of the Kuban, and the Kuban has a special trust in them, and the soldiers of this tribe are also an important force in the pursuit of Tuobada.
"Your Highness means that in order to hunt down the fourth prince, the vast majority of the troops of this Tang Gu tribe must have been sent. They never imagined that instead of fleeing in the direction of Quanzhou, we would kill their base camp, so they must not have much defense this time, and this raid will definitely be successful! Ju Yuanguang on the side said with a smile.
"The Tang'an tribe is one of the several major storage places in the Kuban, and if we can successfully attack it, we will definitely gain a lot of money. But with so many people's troops, heading towards the Tang'an tribe, it is impossible not to be discovered by the people of Kuban! One of Tuobadu's staff members said on the side.
"It's impossible to get rid of it without being discovered by them, but as long as we are fast and we leave, they will find out, and it will be difficult to mobilize troops to encircle and suppress." Yang Yun said.
"Also, there are so many of us, it must be difficult to move. So I suggested that the troops be broken up and the rest split up and march in the direction of Quanzhou, while it would take less than 10,000 men to attack the Tang'an tribe. In addition, there were a lot of war horses there, and when the time came, we would all become cavalry, and it would be difficult for them to catch up with us. Ju Yuanguang continued.
Yang Yun had already instilled the great man's sixteen-character combat policy into his subordinates, so that everyone under his command admired this mysterious great man.
"Okay, I'll go crazy with my eldest brother, if we are surrounded by Kuban's people, even if we are unlucky!" Tuoba stood up and said dryly.
"However, the fourth prince ......" one of Tuobada's subordinates stopped talking.
"Alright! Don't say it, the eldest brother is the prince of Dafu, for the sake of us all dare to go to the dangerous place, I Tuoba Du is not a person who is afraid of danger. Tuoba interrupted his subordinates and said dryly.
So, the mops all gathered all their subordinates together. A meeting was held to divide the team into several parts, break them into parts, and let them march in the direction of Quanzhou.
At the same time, Tuoba Du selected 8,000 soldiers with good riding skills, and together with Yang Yun and others, they marched to the Tang'an tribe more than 300 miles away from here at the fastest speed.
In order to rush for time, everyone hardly rested. When encountering the interrogation of a small group of troops, they didn't say much, and rushed directly to kill them, and if they encountered a large force, everyone took a detour.
In this way, when they arrived, near the Tang'an tribe, it was already two days later.
At this time, it was the third watch, the darkest period of the night, and the team stopped when it was still ten miles away from the Tang'an tribe.
"You go and tell your brothers, rest here in place, recuperate, and set off on the fifth watch, we will bloody the Tang'an tribe and avenge the dead brothers and sisters." Receiving Ju Yuanguang's suggestion, Tuoba Du instructed one of his subordinates.
In order to hunt down Tuoba Du and his men, the Tang Ang tribe sent most of the soldiers of the clan, the entire tribe, to leave the two floors or so, and these were brave and good warriors.
The current Tang'an tribe is at the time when its defense capability is the weakest. But they are not particularly worried, because they are in the core of Liuyi, very close to the base camp of the Kuban, and there can be no one who does not open their eyes,
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Dare to come here to find trouble with them.
In such a state of mind, they were not psychologically prepared for the approaching enemy soldiers.
In early winter, the dawn is late. The fifth watch is almost over, the eastern sky has just revealed a glimmer of light, and the earth is still dark.
Because of the late dawn and the low winter temperature in the grassland, most of the tribe has not yet woken up and is still asleep.
The long period of calm made them completely abandon their vigilance. So at this time, even the guards who were guarding outside the tribe hid in their rooms and dozed off.
Countless black shadows slowly approached the tribe, but no one in the tribe found it. Some hounds spotted these people, and the barking of dogs suddenly sounded in the tribe.
In this abnormal situation, they did not wake up, and many of the sleeping people turned over and fell into a deep sleep.
Tuoba Du and Yang Yun led more than 8,000 people, trying not to make a sound, and rushed towards the tribe as fast as possible. Soon, it was only a few hundred meters away from the tribe.
An old man of the Tang'an tribe who got up at night walked out of the room in a daze. Spotting the group of figures approaching the tribe, they shouted loudly in fear.
The old man's shout was halfway through when it was replaced by a long scream. It turned out that a man from the Root tribe took off the bow and arrow on his back as quickly as possible, and one hit the old man's chest.
The screams rang out in the darkness of the night, alarming many of the tribe, who hurried to their feet and walked out of the house.
As a result, I saw many figures in the tribe coming at some point, and these people looked at them and did not explain anything, but directly killed them.
For a while, the tribe shouted and screamed. Immediately to all ears.
This woke up the sleeping human parts of the tribe, and they scrambled to their feet, and before they could figure out what was going on, they were killed.
More than 8,000 people led by Tuoba Du and Yang Yun entered this tribe, and they were almost not resisted, and directly launched a unilateral massacre against this group of people of the Tang'an tribe who still did not know the situation.
In a few moments, this tribe, which had not been attacked in decades, was covered in blood.
Seeing that this battle had turned into a one-sided massacre, and many unarmed old and young women and children in the Tang Ang tribe also fell in a pool of blood, Yang Yun couldn't bear it and found Tuoba Du in the hope of stopping the massacre.
Tuoba and his men, because many of their relatives were killed by the Kuban, hatred has long since made them lose their minds.
If someone else had persuaded them to stop the slaughter, Tuoba would have been furious. However, after hearing Yang Yun's persuasion, Tuoba Du hesitated for a moment, and finally ordered the slaughter to stop.
Tuoba Du ordered his men to gather the remaining human forces of the Tangang tribe. Of course, there were some uncooperative people who were killed by them.
The 8,000 people brought by Tuoba Du were all the elite forces under him, and they moved very quickly. After just over half an hour, all the remaining members of the tribe were gathered together in a large open space.
Seeing the figure standing in the clearing, Yang Yun's heart was full of sadness. Because there are less than 20,000 people concentrated in this clearing, that is to say, in just one or two hours, nearly half of the people in the tribe have been killed.
