In late July, probably because of Guo Peng's prayers, the enemy cavalry finally discovered the movement of the main Xianbei force.

Upon learning of this, Guo Peng was overjoyed and immediately held a pre-imperial battle meeting in front of his chariot.

Judging from the marks on the map, Guo Peng can probably conclude that the Xianbei people did not escape, they are very strong, they are not afraid of Guo Peng at all, unlike the Northern Huns, who know how to run.

In response to Guo Peng's three-way attack plan, they also adopted a three-way strategy of for tat, engaged the Wei army head-on, and tried their best to surround their homeland and dignity.

Good!

Good!

Good!

Guo someone is so happy!

This is the real grassland warrior, who dares to face the bleak reality, dare to face the dripping blood, dare to face the crisis of the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species, but still does not change his color and bravely impacts.

This is the Prairie Warrior!

Guo likes such a grassland warrior!

Although Xun You didn't think they were really brave, he just felt that they didn't know the inside story so they were brave.

"Your Majesty, these barbarians should not know the specific number of our army, and it is impossible for the scouts to count them clearly, if they knew the specific number, they should not dare to fight."

Xun You gave his opinion: "So the minister thinks that they must not know the specific number and goal of our army, so they have such a rash move, in the face of our army's three-way attack, they actually meet the attack in three ways, and the already small number of troops are scattered and used, and they will definitely be defeated!" ”

Xun You is very optimistic about the tactics of the Xianbei people.

But it doesn't matter at all, as long as they dare to come, that's the best.

Guo smiled.

"That Gongda thinks that what the Xianbei people should do is the best?"

"Let the enemy come from a few ways, I will go all the way, do my best to fight to the death, or, just run away."

Xun You's face was serious: "Such nomadic tribes themselves have no fixed residence, they wander around the grassland, and as long as the water and grass are abundant, they can survive, so there is no need to fight me to the death."

If we want to fight to the death, we should also concentrate all our efforts to break a gap, transfer directly, and run as far as possible, because our army does not have unlimited logistics after all, and there is a limit to the pursuit. ”

Guo Peng nodded, agreeing with Xun You's opinion.

"Fortunately, there is no one who can see through Xianbei at this time, and he still wants to resist, so he gave us the opportunity to devour Xianbei in one fell swoop, if he runs away directly, I really can't help it, and the current situation is what I want to see the most."

"That being the case, Your Majesty, our army can prepare for battle, and at the current pace of marching, it may encounter enemy troops at any time."

Xun Yu suggested again.

"Well, Zhicai, you immediately send an order to the whole army, you can prepare for war, from now on, Cao Chun, Cao Hong, Li Dian, Guo Dong will all go down to the army, do a good job of command and coordination, and the armies will communicate with each other through war drums and flags.

The command of the vanguard army of 20,000 people was handed over to the pioneer Li Dian, if Li Dian encountered the Xianbei army, he could adapt to the situation, deal with it first, and then report, without asking me in advance, in addition, be sure to keep the contact unimpeded, and the liaison between the armies should be unimpeded when necessary! ”

Guo Peng issued an order to prepare for war.

It was conveyed to the whole army by Xi Zhong.

The main force of the Chinese army led by Guo Peng was divided into five parts and advanced together.

Li Dian was the vanguard, and in the front, Cao Chun and Cao Hong were divided into left and right wings, responsible for planning the battle, and Guo Dong commanded the rear army to ensure logistics.

Guo Peng is located in the Chinese army, and the generals guard Guo Peng in it like the stars and the moon, and are directly protected by the forbidden army.

If this battle was to be fought first, it would definitely be Li Dian who would encounter the Xianbei people first, and Guo Peng would directly hand over the power of improvisation to Li Dian, so that Li Dian had the right to command in wartime.

When Li Dian learned that Guo Peng had delegated wartime command to him and given him a command flag representing wartime command, he immediately felt a heavy responsibility and felt that he had to be cautious about this matter no matter what.

So he immediately ordered the wartime command flag to be raised, announcing to the entire army that he had wartime command, and from this moment on, he had all the command power over the vanguard army, including the power of life and death over the soldiers of his subordinates.

Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!

Li Dian quickly increased the search range and information transmission frequency of the enemy team, and contacted Guo Peng's Chinese army more frequently, reporting the content of each step of the action, and cooperating with the pace of the whole army's actions.

Soon, Cao Hong and Cao Chun completed the preparation of the army and told Guo Peng the specific news, and Guo Dong also said that he was ready to support the front line at any time.

Everything is ready, only Xianbei is owed.

On the eleventh day of July in the fifth year of Yande, Li Dian's team encountered the Xianbei team, and a fierce encounter broke out between the two sides.

The Wei army's cavalry successfully defeated Xianbei's enemy team, and promptly delivered the news that Xianbei's main force was not far from nearby for Li Dian to know.

After Li Dian found out, he immediately passed the news to Guo Peng.

Guo Peng immediately passed the news to the other troops, so that all the troops could know the latest news.

This major battle was actually already underway at this time.

The army of the Xianbei people who resisted in the south had already come into contact with the army of the Wei army's northern expedition.

The distance between the main cores of the two sides is not far away, and the vanguard tentacles of the two sides have begun to collide, so in this direction, the main forces of the Wei army and the Xianbei army invariably stopped marching.

Guo Peng convened the imperial military meeting again, and explained the current situation, and everyone already knew it.

The time for a decisive battle has come, and now is the time for war.

Guo Peng immediately ordered the troops of Cao Chun and Cao Hong on the left and right flanks to prepare, and immediately delegated the wartime command of Cao Hong and Cao Chun, and completely entrusted the power to coordinate and command their troops.

ordered Wei Yan, the commander of the army under his command, to prepare for the attack.

In the early morning of the 12th day of the seventh month of the fifth year of Yande, 500 enemy pioneers and about 500 Xianbei cavalry sent by Li Dian collided head-on, and the two sides unanimously made the decision to start a battle on the spot.

The Xianbei cavalry immediately began to outflank left and right, directly using the most normal classic cavalry and archery tactics, using horse bows and arrows to attack the Wei cavalry, while the Wei cavalry advanced and returned fire with bows and crossbows.

The Wei cavalry did not play cavalry tactics with the Xianbei cavalry, but used the hand crossbow as a cover and rushed directly to the Xianbei cavalry.

The two sides fired at each other for a while, and the losses of the Xianbei people were relatively serious, and the losses of the Wei army were not much.

But what puzzled and surprised the Xianbei people the most was not the Wei army's defensive strength, but the Wei army's failure to follow the rules and did not play classic cavalry tactics with them, but came straight at them.

Shoot in circles, avoid direct contact with each other to avoid being knocked off the horse, and use mounted archery to see who runs out of arrows first.

But Wei Jun didn't seem to intend to do this, so he rushed straight over.

This is not scientific, don't everyone play mounted archery first, and then draw their swords after the arrows are shot?

How do you play this set from the start?

But Wei Jun doesn't talk nonsense with you, he just comes up and scolds him, not with a traditional spear, but with a machete that is terrible at first glance, and it hurts to cut people at a glance.

And they didn't hold it with one hand, they actually held it with both hands.

Rushing over with both hands, the swords in their hands fell, and the cold light flashed, and the heads of the Xianbei cavalry sitting on the horses were gone.

The impact and the terrifying momentum that swooped in on people were really shocking.

The Xianbei cavalry had never encountered such an enemy, never encountered an enemy who could use such a heavy weapon with both hands on a horse, and had never seen such a cavalry that went on a rampage as if it were in a no-man's land.

But now everything has appeared.

Obviously, the Xianbei cavalry was at a loss for this.

Soon, they were directly torn apart by the Wei cavalry, divided and surrounded, annihilated each one, and stained the grassland with blood.

In the end, only two or three cavalrymen were not shot because they ran relatively fast, and the rest were killed.

The Wei army almost completely annihilated the opponent's spy cavalry team in the first battle, and beat the opponent to the annihilation of the entire army.

The news soon spread back to the Wei army's main formation, Guo Peng was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the whole army to advance again and continue to approach the main Xianbei main formation.

The same news reached the Xianbei people's main formation, and when they learned that the vanguard cavalry with a spying nature had been wiped out and annihilated by the Wei army, both Su Li and Fu Luo Han felt a chill.
