Chapter Ninety-Four: The Iron Cavalry Conquers Changning

When Beigong Boyu heard this, he was terrified, it seemed that the three cities of Poqiang, Linqiang, and Anyi were really broken by the Han army.

"How many people are there in the Han army? Who leads the troops? Where did it come from? Beigong Boyu hurriedly asked.

"Forgive me, great chief! The villain only knew that at first two or three thousand people came outside the city to shout and curse, and later three or four thousand people deceived the city. As for the generals of the Han army who led the troops, where did the Han army come from, the villain really doesn't know! ”

"When those Han soldiers saw us, they chased and beat us, and they were more ferocious than us!"

Zadako hurriedly replied.

Beigong Boyu saw that he couldn't ask anything useful from Zadako, so he asked him to go down.

"Lao Li, at present, the three cities of Poqiang, Linqiang, and Anyi have been mastered by the Han army. The route of our army eastward into Jincheng County has been blocked by the Han army. If you go north to Wuwei County, and the Yellow River blocks it, what can you do? ”

Beigong Boyu walked up to Li Wenhou and sat down, drank a bowl of wine, and said in a deep voice.

"Yakta, Yatavar, and Buku clam are three pieces of waste! The Han army numbered only a few thousand, and they couldn't even defend a city. ”

"Tomorrow, you and I will raise an army of 50,000 to kill Anyi City, and kill those Han army rats and thieves without leaving a single piece of armor, and be ashamed!"

Li Wenhou took a sip of wine and said hatefully.

"I heard that Jincheng County is too guarded by Li Mu, brave and good at fighting, what is this person from the Han court...... General Pingxi Zhonglang, presumably it was this person who led the army to break through the three cities of Poqiang, Linqiang, and Anyi. ”

"It's better for our army to hold the western capital, no matter how powerful Li Mu is, with thousands of people, he can't attack the western capital."

Beigong Boyu shook his head and groaned.

"Beigong, there are more than 50,000 troops in the western capital, and people eat horses and chew them, how long can our grain and grass last?"

"If you want to defend it, I will take the Qiang soldiers to kill all this Han army. When the time comes, eat fragrant and drink spicy food, don't be greedy! ”

Li Wenhou immediately said hatefully.

Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou each held their own opinions, refused to give in to each other, and argued for two or three hours, but they still couldn't compromise.

The final result was that Li Wenhou led 20,000 Qiang soldiers to attack the Han army in the east, and Beigong Boyu and the remaining 30,000 Qiang soldiers continued to defend the western capital.

……

The next day, Li Wenhou led 20,000 Qiang soldiers to leave the western capital and run all the way to Anyi City.

The Qiang soldiers marched seventy or eighty miles, and some of them were sleepy and tired. Li Wenhou ordered the Qiang soldiers to rest on the spot for an hour before marching.

What Li Wenhou didn't know was that the place where the Qiang soldiers were located was called Changning Beach, and he and the Qiang soldiers had already come to the encirclement of the Han army.

When the Qiang soldiers saw that they could rest, they happily began to make fires and make meals. Originally, the Qiang soldiers ran for seventy or eighty miles, and their whole body was very warm. At this moment, he stopped, and in less than a moment, he felt that his whole body was cold, and many Qiang soldiers dismounted and curled up together to roast the fire.

Just when the Qiang soldiers were about to eat, they suddenly felt that the ground under their feet was trembling!

The Qiang soldiers stood up and looked at it, only to see countless Han troops killing from the south. The Qiang soldiers were so frightened that they screamed.

Besides, when Li Wenhou saw that he could rest for an hour, he asked someone to simply set up a tent for him, and drank wine and roasted fire in the tent.

At this moment, Li Wenhou heard the screams of the Qiang soldiers, and hurriedly ran out of the tent, almost not scared to death.

Li Wenhou hurriedly got on his horse and shouted to organize the Qiang soldiers to line up for defense, but the Qiang soldiers had already become a pot of porridge, and they couldn't find their own formation in a hurry.

Of course, the Han army did not give Li Wenhou a chance to breathe, and in an instant, he entered the Qiang army.

"Soldiers, kill all the Qiang people and dog thieves, and take revenge!"

Li Mu took the lead and shouted loudly.

The Han army originally resented the Qiang soldiers in their hearts, and because of this damn Qiang soldiers, they were frozen in the ice and snow for a few hours, and at this time, they were already furious!

The Han army roared and killed the Qiang soldiers, and cut down when they met people.

Li Mu, Dian Wei, and Fu Yan each led a Han army to kill the Qiang soldiers, and Deng Zhi led a thousand Han troops to sweep the formation.

Li Mu, Dian Wei, and Fu Yan rushed into the enemy formation, as if they were in a no-man's land, and everywhere they went, there were casualties!

In an instant, the wails and screams of the Qiang soldiers resounded in the sky.

The Qiang soldiers fled in all directions, panicked, and fled north in some of their desperation, jumped into the Yellow River, and disappeared in an instant.

Some of the Qiang soldiers fled eastward, jumping into the tributaries of the Huangshui River, where they were either drowned or hacked to death by the Han troops who pursued them behind.

Most of the Qiang soldiers fled west with Li Wenhou, intending to flee back to the western capital. These Qiang soldiers were not pursued by the Han army, and many of them had been trampled to death.

Li Mu ordered Fu Tong to continue to pursue and kill the Qiang soldiers who fled to the east and north, while he and Dian Wei led the remaining Han army to chase and kill the Qiang soldiers who fled westward.

Deng Zhi saw that the Qiang soldiers were gone, so he led the 1,000 Han troops to the west to pursue and kill the Qiang soldiers.

Li Wenhou was so frightened that he lay on his horse and fled westward.

Li Wenhou ran westward for more than ten miles. Suddenly, a Biao Han army blocked the way in front of him.

It was Zhang Liao and Wang Ping who ambushed the soldiers here.

Zhang Liao and Wang Ping didn't answer, urged the soldiers, and rushed straight into the Qiang soldiers' formation! The Qiang soldiers had long lost their fighting spirit and only cared about fleeing for their lives.

When Li Wenhou saw the Han army rushing over, he hurriedly reined in his horse and let the Qiang soldiers rush forward to send him to death, and then fled from the side with dozens of guards. And most of the remaining Qiang soldiers have become ghosts of the Han army.

……

Li Wenhou took hundreds of guards to fight desperately out of the Han army's military formation, and ran seven or eight miles wildly.

Suddenly, another Biao Han army blocked the way!

It turned out that Zhang Liao, Jiang Wei, and Wang Ping, after some discussion, decided to intercept and kill the Qiang soldiers in batches.

The 5,000 Han troops led by Zhang Liao and Wang Ping first blocked the Qiang soldiers and slowed down the Qiang soldiers' escape.

Then Jiang Wei led a thousand Han troops to intercept and kill those Qiang soldiers who slipped through the net.

"I am...... Li Wenhou, the leader of the Huangzhong Yi army...... If you could spare my life...... I am willing to be loyal to the Han army......"

Seeing this, Li Wenhou knew that it would be difficult to escape, so he reined in his horse and said in a trembling voice.

"Good! Dismount immediately and surrender, but spare you from dying, otherwise, you will be beheaded in a different place! ”

Jiang Wei raised the green gun in his hand, pointed at Li Wenhou, and shouted in a deep voice.

Li Wenhou hesitated, gambled in his heart, and then threw down his weapon and dismounted. The dozens of Qiang guards also threw their weapons and dismounted.

The Han army had already rushed forward and tied Li Wenhou and his party to a strong knot. Jiang Wei escorted Li Wenhou and his party to meet Zhang Liao and Wang Pingjun.

……

Zhang Liao and Wang Ping led the army to pursue and kill the Qiang soldiers from west to east.

Li Mu and Dian Wei led the army to pursue and kill the Qiang soldiers from east to west.

In about an hour, the Han army killed the Qiang soldiers.

Immediately, Li Mu ordered the Han army to suspend the pursuit of those Qiang soldiers who had slipped through the net, and the army withdrew to Changning Beach to gather.

In this battle, the Han army suffered more than 800 casualties; More than 15,000 Qiang soldiers were beheaded, and more than 2,000 Qiang soldiers jumped into the Yellow River and Huangshui tributaries and drowned.

In addition to Li Wenhou's dozens of personal guards, there were only a few hundred Qiang soldiers who escaped.

The Han army captured more than 14,000 usable horses, and the grain, grass and ordnance were not counted!
