Mobei.

The Luhun Sea in Rouran was already wailing all over the wilderness, and the entire Khan Court was completely destroyed, and as far as the eye could see, it was full of burning tents, scattered horses and sheep, weeping women and children, and blood-dripping heads hanging high on the blades of knives, as well as mountains of horrible corpses.

More than 200,000 Golden Wing troops were killed and wounded, and the corpses were ambushed for hundreds of miles along the Luhun Sea, and the Rouran Khan Yu Jiulu Qiufa was only spared, but the seven little masters who relied on the guards around him all died in the hands of Yuanguang, and they took three thousand remnants of the cavalry along the Xianggen River to Beihai in the territory of Gaoche, so they dared to stop and take a breath.

Standing in front of the burned dome of the Khanting King's tent, Mu Fan, who joined the army, suggested that all the corpses be thrown into the Luhun Sea, and the water of Lishui and Suyuan that came out of the Luhun Sea would definitely be contaminated by the plague, and then set fire to the grassland. In this way, in the next few decades, the radius of thousands of miles centered on this place will no longer be a paradise and pasture for the various ethnic groups of Rouran.

This is a desperate plan, Yuan Mulan strongly opposed, and said: "Where the two armies fight, life and death, each has its own destiny." The death of the defeated army is a matter of course, but it is a coward's act to defile the sacred lake of their ancestors and burn their century-old pastures for fear of the resurgence of the enemy. Under the guidance of the ancestral spirits, my Great Wei has created today's foundation, which is made by countless warriors riding horses, holding knives and guns, and fighting with flesh and blood, rather than relying on the poisonous tricks of these days to anger and resentment......"

Mu has always been friendly with Yuan Mulan, otherwise she would not have taken Mu Lai as a fake surname when she sneaked into Jiangdong under a pseudonym, but when it came to the national fortunes of Wei and the military aircraft, Mu Fan insisted on it and would not deliberately come to please her, and said: "It is precisely because Rouran is the feud of my Xianbei clan, how many clansmen have died under the wriggling hooves of horses for hundreds of years?" At this time, there must be no woman's benevolence, if there is no thousands of miles of fertile fields fed by the water of the garden and the chestnut water, the worm can not gain a foothold here, and can only migrate north to the shore of the Beihai Lake in Gaoche, and compete with the Gaoche people for habitat; Or go west to cross Yanran Mountain, and re-find pastures in Alunshui and Jianshui around Tanglu Ridge, but no matter whether it is north or west, it is thousands of miles away from the defense line of the six towns? In this way, the pressure on the northern front can be greatly reduced, and we will be able to dispatch the troops of the six towns to attack Jiangdong and unite the world! ”

These words are too convincing, Mu Fan knows a lot about Rouran's situation, and he is even more precious about geography and hydrology, not to mention Wei State, even Jiangdong is not one in ten thousand miles, even Yuan Mulan opened his mouth, and he couldn't refute it.

As a general, Yuan Guang did not hesitate for too long, and decided to adopt Mu Fan's suggestion, and said: "Pass my military order, let those living women and concubines and old men throw their corpses into the Luhun Sea, and those who dare to disobey the order will have a son, first cut off their sons, and then cut off their feet and hands, and hang them on the flagpole to show the public!" ”

Mu Fan was about to leave, but Yuan Guang stopped him and said, "Tell the outside world that this is my idea, and when I return to Pingcheng, I will ask the Lord for your credit!" ”

Mu Fan was grateful, knelt down and said: "General, this plan is my plan, if there is slander, I am willing to bear it!" ”

"You are still young, and the road ahead is very long, and you may not be able to withstand it." Yuan Guang smiled, Ying Tingru's face was full of charm, and said, "These stinky evil things, let me, an old man, do it!" ”

It didn't take long for the surviving Rouran people to be driven by the Wei cavalry to carry the corpses, and when they learned that the corpses were going to be thrown into the Luhun Sea, their faces suddenly changed, all of them were paralyzed, crying and grabbing the ground, and many people shouted incomprehensible Rouran language, as if praying for God's salvation.

"To move or not to move?"

A young woman curled up, clutching the infant in her arms, less than six months old, her frightened eyes and trembling hands showed how frightened she was now, but she shook her head at the bright tip of the knife.

The baby's cry was suddenly sharp and then disappeared in an instant, and the woman rushed over with a wail for her life, but she was pressed to the ground and cut off her hands and feet, and then tied with ropes around her waist and hung high on the flagpole.

"To move or not to move?"

Shaking his head again, cutting off his hands and feet again, with the orders of the leaders of each team, all those who refused were chopped off their hands and feet, and hung high on the flagpole, and hundreds of living people just let the turbulent blood flow with the wind, and the painful sorrow and whimpering drifted for many miles, until the blood ran out and died.

The brutal torture and killing finally shattered the faith in people's hearts, and no one resisted anymore, numb like a cow and animal, repeatedly carrying the corpse and throwing it into the sacred lake where the Rouran tribe depended for survival.

For a whole day and a night, the corpses floating in the sea of Luhun could not be seen as far as the eye could see, and the lake was full of old and weak women and children, and those corpses included their sons, fathers, husbands, and brothers, and now they were soaked in the lake as if they were in hell.

The old people and women did not cry, and even the children who were a few years old just stared blankly, like walking corpses, completely deprived of the pride and wildness of the ancestors.

This battle not only dug up Rouran's roots, but also broke Rouran's bones!

Yuan Mulan was dressed in a sassy manner, her beautiful figure was reflected in the hazy moonlight, her eyes were clearer than the galaxy with a faint sadness, and she said in a low voice: "Master, I know that this is a battle of national fortune, and any soft-heartedness will cause endless disasters." In this way, corpses can be slaughtered and the lake destroyed, and women and children tortured and killed...... I'm afraid that after tonight, I won't be able to sleep until dawn......"

Yuan Guang walked over and patted the top of her head gently, just like she did when she was confused and confused from childhood to adulthood, he was long and magnificent, like the majestic Xianbei Mountain, quietly looking at the nearly 60,000 soft captives, and said: "The battle and killing are not all the drums and horns of the Jin Ge Iron Horse narrated by the tip of the poet's pen, and death and injury are inevitable...... However, I have led the army for many years and have never killed women and children, so this time I had no choice but to do it, and after returning to Beijing, I went to ask the great monk for the Dharma and recited the sutra behind closed doors to atone for my own mistakes. All parties are guilty, and I am the only one who is guilty, you just obey the order, remember not to drill the tip of the horns and hurt the Dao heart of the warrior! ”

He turned to leave, the pain hidden in the tiger's eyes could no longer be hidden, war, whether it is for the winner or the loser, is the cruelest punishment in the world.

Two days later, the northwest wind rose, and the Wei army took advantage of the wind to set a fire, and in the mist where the fire spread throughout the grassland, it drove 60,000 Rouran people and hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep to move south.

The long procession was like a migratory bird with folded wings, and I don't know who sang first: "Poor man, go out with death worries." Deep in the mountains and valley mouths, no one collects the white bones. ”

Then there was the chorus of tens of thousands of people: "Poor man, go out with death worries." Deep in the mountains and valley mouths, no one collects the white bones. ”

Sorrow, desolation, weeping blood,

Tears at the sight!

Yuanguang asked Sun Qi, the general of the Left Guard, to lead 2,000 cavalry to escort the prisoners, and he led 30,000 elite cavalry to gallop overnight, detouring through Yinshan, and suddenly appeared behind the 300,000 ghost army.

Since the defeat of the eldest grandson Di Jie, Yuan Yu and Xiliang signed an alliance under the city, and immediately relieved him of his post after returning to Beijing, appointed Hulu Deva as the leading general, collected the defeated troops of Changsun Di, and then around Shuozhou and Sizhou, according to the terrain gradually lured the enemy to go deeper, but the defeat was more than the victory, the casualties were great, and finally the wall was cleared, and the retreat was held in Pingcheng.

The Ghost Fang army camped on the bank of the Yuhe River twenty miles away from Pingcheng, and sent teams to plunder the households, money, grain, and grass everywhere, while driving these households to build siege equipment. When the population and materials could not be plundered for hundreds of miles around Pingcheng, 5,000 Wei people were used as the precursor to launch a tentative attack on Pingcheng.

The first wave of arrows killed and wounded six or seven hundred of these defenseless civilians, showing that there would never be a hole in the city's defenses because of mercy. The ghost army that followed closely behind the people supported the simple wooden shield, carried a cloth bag full of soil, brandished knives and guns and drove the people directly off the moat, arrows and rolling stones were thrown from the city, and the corpses that were stoned and shot quickly filled the river, and then tens of thousands of ghost troops threw down the soil bags and successfully filled the moat, and then with the help of bamboo ladders and cloud carts, they began to attack the city.

As a nation on horseback, the ghost army that is good at riding and archery is not good at attacking the city, and it is not sinicized and integrated like the Xianbei people of the Northern Wei Dynasty, so the defenders are well prepared, and all kinds of equipment are available, and the siege party only has the simplest ladder, and even the stone thrower can't build a few, and before the boulder is thrown, it is crushed to pieces, and dozens of its own soldiers are killed, which seriously affects morale.

Although the general of the unified army, Wu Leqi, is a gentle and well-known Lifa, except for the Khan, who controls military power, but does not have too strong military talents. The Rouran army fights, that is, relying on the strength of the soldiers and horses, the number of people is overwhelming, and no one is afraid in the field, only the Baibao Xianbei of the Wei State can barely be called an opponent.

All conspiracies and tricks are in vain in the face of absolute strength, so the generals of Rouran do not like any tactical warfare, which is why Yuan Yu looks down on Rouran and contemptuously calls them worms.

In the face of the imperial capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the city was high and strong, and it fought hard for five days in a row, with more than 20,000 casualties, but it could not even climb the wall, let alone break into the city.

Wu Leqi changed his strategy and decided to besiege the city, and at the same time divided his troops into three routes, each leading 20,000 people, and went south to burn and loot in Yanzhou, Fenzhou, and Yanzhou. This can not only reduce the pressure on grain and grass, but also force the defenders of the city to go out of the city for a decisive battle by attacking the place.

Where can the soldiers of the states stop the iron cavalry of Rouran, they can only learn from Pingcheng to move the people into the big city and the fortified city can not be held, but there are still a large number of people and property looted, in just half a month, the entire Northern Wei Dynasty is full of smoke, thousands of villages were destroyed, and the losses are extremely heavy.

Yuan Yu's strategy of shrinking back into defense was greatly criticized by both the government and the opposition, but he was arbitrary, executed two ministers who had written to advise, and then ordered the internal marquis to search and arrest the whole city, and all those who spoke in vain about the government were arrested. However, he also issued a secret edict, tight on the outside and loose on the inside, seemingly fierce and vicious, but in fact he was not tortured, on the contrary, he was taken care of by eating and drinking well in prison, so he suppressed the voice of opposition, continued to shrink, and let Rouran poison the Quartet.

On September 11, he finally waited for the foreign marquis who followed Yuanguang to return to Beijing secretly, forwarded Yuanguang's report, and learned about the battle situation in the Mobei Khan's court. According to Cui Boyu's plan, Yuan Yu wrote a letter to Wu Leqi, and did his best to insult him verbally, and asked him to start a decisive battle in the piled plains east of Fangshan and west of Yuhe seven days later, that is, on the afternoon of September 18.

Seeing that Yuan Yu was willing to go out of the city, Wu Leqi thought that his strategy of dividing troops to plunder the states had worked, and was angered by the scolding words in the war book, so he immediately replied to the letter and agreed, and threatened to slaughter the city for three days after the victory, and took Yuan Yu's skull as a wine vessel.

Yuan Yu told the whole city of Wu Leqi's reply, arousing the hatred of the soldiers and civilians in the city. Wu Leqi also sent heralds to recall the soldiers and horses of the three routes, anyway, the prefectures and counties such as Yan, Fen, and Yan have been ravaged and cannot squeeze out more oil and water. After all the soldiers and horses were assembled, they took the initiative to retreat ten miles, leaving room for the Wei army to arrange their troops.

In a sense, Rouran is still martial and brave, light and tricky, similar to the legacy of the Spring and Autumn Period! But this world is too honest and destined to suffer a big loss!

After careful preparations, on the night of September 17, Hulu Deva led 200,000 elites quietly out of the north gate and attacked the camp of the ghost army. At first, the ghost army made an appointment to fight a decisive battle tomorrow afternoon, but tonight they relaxed their vigilance, slaughtered pigs and sheep, and rewarded the three armies.

But the advantage of the nomads is that they don't need too strict military discipline, and their dependence on the array is not as serious as that of the Southern Dynasties, and everyone is an independent combat unit, which can give the enemy a lethality that cannot be underestimated.

After a brief loss of consciousness, the reacting Ghost Fang Army immediately organized an effective resistance with superb cavalry and extraordinary bravery. The light cavalry detoured to both sides, constantly taking advantage of the distance to shoot the enemy, and led the Wei army to chase after them. And because the night was dark and moonless, although it successfully covered up the sneak attack of the Wei army, it also hindered the operation of the command system after the sneak attack.

Hulu Deva knew that this situation could not last, and several times ordered the elite iron cavalry of the Taiwan army to intersperse in the middle, but paid the price of 2,000 lives, and never could penetrate the soft military formation, but gradually sank into the mud, and was surrounded by 300,000 ghost troops step by step.

The two sides began to fight!

Rouran attached great importance to the west, obtained a large number of fine iron and good horses from the Western Regions, and enslaved the Turks in the Jinshan area (Altai Mountains) as forging slaves, so it had a large number of mounted cavalry. The mounted cavalry mostly used wooden-framed, leather-topped saddles and durable double-sided metal stirrups. Their armor included both Central Plains-style armor and nomadic scale armor, and the cavalry also had multiple layers of thin copper throat guards between their throats, and the horse armor was made of leather and iron, covering a very high area.

As a long-term opponent, Rouran is very similar to the mounted cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and it is also a fatal enemy!

"Anaye, it's your turn!"

There was a fierce light in Ulqi's eyes, and it was obvious that he was completely enraged by the untrustworthy Xianbei people, but the anger did not affect his sanity, and only at this moment did he order the mounted cavalry to be dispatched.

Anaye is Futu's eldest son, if Yu Su is here, he will recognize this person, after all, after marrying Futu in the Khan's Court, Anaye is her nominal son, as a royal family of Rouran, Anaye is a rare outlier. He admired Han culture, loved to read, was proficient in music and Buddhism, and was polite and loved by the Khan.

In this expedition, in order to train him and train him, the khan personally appointed Anaye as the commander of the iron flow of Rouran's cavalry to fight with Ulqi.

Anaye stood up, braided hair, brocade clothes, small sleeved robes, small trousers, deep boots, handsome appearance, especially deep eyes, the bridge of the nose was stiff, and gave a soft military salute to Ulqi, turned his head back to the armored cavalry army, and issued an order to put on armor. When the whole army finished putting on the armor, he put down the curtain, the horse lance was placed on the side of the saddle, lightly clamped the horse's belly, and the horse's hooves left the ground, first jogging, as if the fine drum beat was mixed with the sound of the iron armor colliding, and then to the middle of the march became a drive, which meant that the speed began to increase, and the drum beat suddenly became urgent, and when the 30,000 iron cross-current put the spear on the chest, from the drive to the attack, the sound was already like tens of millions of tons of ice and snow pouring down from the top of Yanran Mountain, sweeping everything, devouring everything, destroying everything!

The power of heaven and earth, Mo Ke Peiyu!

In this world, the only thing that can deal with equipment is equipment!

Hulu Deva almost ordered at the same time as Uleqi, and the Northern Wei Dynasty tiger stripes dressed in armor and lined up after watching the battle for a long time, and 50,000 heavy armor roared towards the iron crossstream.

Looking down from the sky, the soft iron cross-flow is like a dark black spear, and the tiger stripes of the Northern Wei Dynasty are like silver-white tigers, from south to north, from north to south, just waiting to see whether the spear is sharp enough, or the silver tiger is powerful.

It was a collision between the most powerful mounted cavalry of the northern and southern kingdoms, and almost at the moment of staggering, Anaye's horse lance plunged into the chest of the enemy on the opposite side.

Before he could shout, the armor on his chest was dented, and in the helmet painted with tiger stripes, blood burst out from his eyes, nose and ears at the same time, and the whole person flew upside down and knocked over several cavalrymen behind, and then fell to the ground in a group, and was trampled by countless horses' hooves, turning into a pile of sloppy flesh.

Anaye broke into the enemy formation like a black lightning, the horse lance weighing more than thirty pounds was lighter and more flexible than an embroidery needle between his hands, and there was only the shadow of the enemy who was as fast as a bird in front of him, and he only relied on his legs to control the direction of the horse's advance, and calmly and cruelly knocked down one after another elite cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty, killed, knocked down, and killed!

There is only one chance for the cavalry to charge, and if you run too far, the horse will get tired, and if you run too fast, the horse will get tired to death. Therefore, the eyes of Hulu Deva and Uleqi fell tightly on the hedge of the two armored cavalry, and their hearts rose to their throats, this is a contest of strength and courage, there is no fancy, there is no speculation, either you die, or I die!

Anaye was brave and invincible, and under his leadership, Tie Hengliu directly defeated the tiger stripe equipment, with 30,000 against 50,000, and achieved amazing results.

It's just a pity that they defeated the enemy, but they could only stop their horses and wait for the other robes to follow up and harvest the heads. But at this moment, from the flank of the east, there was a dense sound of horses' hooves, and the familiar mournful cry of Rouran: "Tong Lifa, Tong Lifa, General Mingyue has broken through the Khan Court, the Khan has been killed in battle, the Dome has been burned, and the corpses of the Golden Wing Army have filled the Luhun Sea!" ”

"Tong Lifa, Tong Lifa, the sun god has sent down heavenly punishment, the grassland is flooded by fire, the water in the garden is no longer clear, and the chestnut water is no longer sweet!"

Ulqi's face changed drastically!

The morale of the army is in turmoil!

Anaye lifted the curtain violently, and his eyes reflected the grimace mask of Yuan Mulan in the distance, which changed from small to large, becoming clearer and clearer, until he could see the galloping horse and the heroic posture of the general.

She led 20,000 elite horsemen to cut diagonally into the Ghost Army from the right flank on the east side, and directly cut through the cross-section, leaving the enemy unconcerned. Then turn around and launch a one-sided slaughter against the already exhausted Iron Crosscurrent.

And Yuanguang led another 10,000 people from the left flank to the Chinese army where Wuleqi was, and the Rouran people were first frightened by three points when they saw Yuanguang's military flag, and then they were disturbed by the crying shouts in all directions, and the defense line suddenly collapsed. Yuan Guang quickly approached the Chinese army, and before Uleqi could react, his body disappeared on the horseback, and the sword flashed, breaking through the defense of hundreds of guards and cutting off Uleqi's head.

Take the head of the general in the army, and there is only one person in the world, Yuanguang!

The ghost army was defeated like a mountain, and only 20,000 people of the 300,000 army finally fled back to Mobei, and Anaye escaped by luck, and was elected as the commander-in-chief, and saw the tragic situation in the lake when he led the remnants of the army through the Luhun Sea, he did not cry, but raised his knife to cut the palm of his hand, let the blood flow into the lake, and swore to the Heavenly Alliance: "Kill the Tuoba clan, and the Luhun Sea will be cleared!" ”

20,000 swore an oath with the bloodshed:

Kill the Tuoba clan, and the Luhun Sea will be cleared!
