Chapter 227 The Great Han Tianwei III
In November 198 of the third year of Jian'an, the weather in the north has gradually entered the cold winter, and the snow and "flowers" like goose feathers have fallen in the sky.
In this kind of weather, whether it is the Cao army or the Xianbei army on the expedition, it is impossible to have a high fighting spirit.
But in comparison, the morale of the Xianbei people is lower. The betrayal of the Xiongnu and Wuhuan made them have to fight alone, facing a large Han army alone, so the Xianbei soldiers seemed a little 'fine'.
Although he did his best every day to improve the morale of the soldiers, it was seen that it had little effect.
Kebineng kept declaring to his soldiers: "Now that it is snowing heavily in the north, and I don't know how many cattle and sheep will freeze to death, if we don't go south and plunder, how will the tribe survive this winter?" ”
With these words, Kobi Neng wanted to 'arouse' the soldiers' predatory hearts and the desire to fight. In reality, however, his words seemed to be counterproductive, and the soldiers became more and more reluctant to fight. This time the south attack on the Han has already caused heavy losses to their tribes, and now the Xiongnu and Wuhuan have defaulted again, who knows if they can win the next battle, and even if they can win, who knows that they will fight until the Year of the Monkey? Rather than struggling with the Han people in this cold weather, it is better to return to the tribe early and help take care of the cattle and sheep, and maybe reduce some losses.
Kebi knew that he couldn't delay any longer, and he had to launch an offensive early, otherwise even if he didn't wait for the war to start, the Xianbei army would collapse on its own.
But Kebineng is also worried that the Xiongnu and Wuhuan are unwilling to send troops, and Budugen, who is the same Xianbei clan as him, cannot be counted on. In this case, most of the troops sent by yourself are defeated.
Just when Kebi could be entangled repeatedly, Cao 'Cao' had decided to take the initiative to attack and give Kebi Neng a head-on blow.
The reason that prompted Cao 'Cao' to take the initiative to attack was that after defeating Wu Huan, Gongsun Du took the initiative to send 5,000 troops to support Cao Cao'.
Although there are not many troops, there are 2,000 cavalry out of 5,000 people.
Besides, the fighter plane is almost there. Cao '' estimates that Kebi can maybe run back to Xianbei.
Kebi has no shortage of courage to fight, but he is not the kind of horseman who only knows how to fight recklessly. Although Kebineng is not as treacherous as Budugen, he is also quite knowledgeable. Now that he is fighting with Cao Jun, the battle will be lost, and Kebineng will not know this. Kebineng is still struggling now, just because he can't let go of this face, he doesn't want to retreat in disgrace without doing anything after gathering troops in a crowd, and he is even more unwilling to suffer such a heavy defeat before, but he can't get the slightest compensation. But Kebineng will always figure it out one day, and when he is no longer entangled, he will take his men back to Xianbei.
But Cao 'Cao' didn't want Kebi to retreat so easily, and if they didn't teach the other party a profound lesson, they might come back at some point.
Cao 'Cao' wanted to completely beat them and beat them to the point that they had no ability to send troops to the Han Dynasty again.
So, after Gongsun Du sent 5,000 people in time, Cao 'Cao' raised the army and took the initiative to attack Xianbei.
In this battle, Cao's army dispatched a total of 5,000 cavalry and archers, 80,000 infantry, a total of 90,000 soldiers and horses. The army of 90,000 rushed to the Xianbei camp.
A fierce battle was about to break out, and I saw that the two sides staged a fierce battle in the vast wilderness of the northern country.
Although the popularity of Xianbei people was not high this time, Cao Jun did not easily gain the upper hand.
In order to completely overwhelm the Han people, Kebi Neng dispatched all the 'shooting' eagle shooters in the tribe. There were thousands of these 'eagle shooters', and each of them was a good 'shooter' of arrows and horseback riding. These 'shooting' eagle men rode on horses and carried out a cavalry 'shooting' attack on Cao Jun, causing great casualties.
In the previous battle, Kebi could consider that in the battle, the role of bows and arrows was not great, so although he also brought some 'archers' eagles, the number was not particularly large, and they were all placed in Jiuyuan City. Jiuyuan City was recaptured by the Cao army, and these 'shooting' eagle shooters were naturally almost killed. If Kebi could have dispatched enough 'eagle shooters' to participate in the battle at the beginning, then when they fought with Cao Jun in the field, they would have released a few rounds of arrow rain from afar, and Cao Jun might not be able to hold on.
Moreover, if there were enough 'archers' eagle guards in Jiuyuan City from the beginning, it would be impossible for Cao Jun to break the city so easily, after all, the significance of archers to defending the city is extraordinary. If you can get a large number of archers who are 'well-art' and 'expert' to help defend the city, the difficulty of defending the city will be reduced a lot.
Therefore, at the moment, Cao Jun is fighting very hard. Although they have a large number of troops, the 'elite' elites such as the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the Trap Camp, and the Euphorbia have been almost exhausted in the previous battle with Xianbei. At present, those who are on the battlefield are ordinary Cao army sergeants, and not long after the start of the war, Cao Jun has suffered a lot of casualties.
However, although the fight was difficult, Cao Jun still had the upper hand overall. There were many people who died, and more people died in Xianbei, after all, in terms of numbers and morale, Cao Jun was a big winner than Xianbei people.
And even if there is no 'elite' sharp, Cao Jun is still a division of a hundred battles, and its combat power should not be underestimated.
Take archers as an example, in terms of personal 'archery' skills, Cao Jun's archers are indeed inferior to Xianbei's 'archers'. However, under the leadership of Huang Zhong, the archers of the Cao army cooperated with each other skillfully, and their overall strength was not inferior to that of Xianbei's 'eagle shooters'.
After several hours of hard fighting, Cao's army paid the price of nearly 20,000 casualties and won the final victory.
On the Xianbei side, more than 30,000 people were lost, and finally fled back to the north in disgrace.
"Our army has won!" Cao 'Cao' looked at the Xianbei people who had fled north, and he was in a happy mood, and shouted loudly.
Those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away! This iron rule will not change even after hundreds of years. Please keep in mind the URL, if you like "The Invincible of the Three Kingdoms" written by the thunder
