While Zhang Liao was crisscrossing the Western Regions, Qin Hua also fought against the Xianbei people on the steppes in the north.

Because of Qin Hua's rapid dispatch of troops, the Xianbei people were beaten back without plundering much grain.

Shuofang County, which was infested by Xianbei along with Liangzhou, gave up the pursuit after the Xianbei retreated, and even though Qin Hua ordered him to pursue with him, he was refused.

This made Qin Hua very unhappy, but Shuofang was under the jurisdiction of the state, and Qin Hua really had no right to command.

The lone army led 40,000 troops deep into the prairie, and the Qin Hua army began to be constantly harassed by the Xianbei people.

But because Qin Hua's army was well-trained, these small harassments had no effect, and Qin Hua still had four thousand Iron Eagle cavalry that were stronger than the Xianbei cavalry.

Often, it was difficult for these Xianbei cavalrymen who came to harass them to leave alive.

It's just that if this stalemate continues, Qin Hua's plan will be affected, so he is very anxious.

A month after entering the grassland, news of Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing came from Luoyang, which made Qin Hua even more anxious.

He began to send the Iron Eagle Cavalry to chase down the scattered Xianbei warriors, but Qin Hua only had 4,000 Iron Eagle Cavalry under his command, and the other 6,000 ordinary cavalry were better at charging than riding and shooting. As for those Qingyang cavalry, their combat ability is also good, but they have not undergone training in this area.

Just as Qin Hua was about to order the killing of all the Xianbei people he encountered in order to deter them, the military advisor Jia Xu proposed a plan.

That is, all the captives of the Xianbei tribe will be encountered, their livestock will be detained, and all the population will be moved into Liangzhou, which is a desperate plan.

Let there be no Xianbei tribe within hundreds of miles north of Liangzhou, so that not only can a large number of materials be harvested, but also expand the population of Liangzhou, and at the same time, a no-man's land will be established between Liangzhou and the Xianbei people, so that Liangzhou will not be disturbed by Xianbei in a short time.

Moreover, the warriors belonging to those captured tribes, when they saw their tribe being taken away by the Han Chinese, they would definitely take the initiative to attack, without Qin Hua looking for them aimlessly on this prairie.

Although Qin Hua wanted to use a direct method, that is, to kill all those Xianbei tribes, his reason told him that Jia Xu's strategy was the best, which would not only benefit the development of Liangzhou, but also not form an endless situation with the Xianbei people.

Although Xianbei has split into several forces since the death of Tan Shihuai, if they unanimously deal with Qin Hua, then he will not have to continue to want to dominate the world, and whether he can keep Liangzhou is still a question. The current Dahan didn't have time to send troops to help him defend against Xianbei.

It's just that the only drawback of using Jia Xu's strategy is that it takes time, after all, it takes a lot of time to capture these Xianbei people and transport them to Liangzhou.

For this reason, Qin Hua could only send all the 30,000 troops under his command out.

Leaving only 10,000 troops to advance slowly, Qin Hua's target was a Xianbei leader named Fu Luohan, and it was his people who attacked Liangzhou this time.

Qin Hua naturally didn't know anything about the name Fu Luohan, but fortunately, there was a Jia Xu next to him.

Jia Xu knows something about this Fu Luohan.

It is said that this Fu Luohan is the elder brother of Budugen among the three major forces of Xianbei, and he also has 20,000 or 30,000 people who control the strings.

Coupled with some information from the captives, Jia Xu deduced that this Fu Luohan came to the Han land to plunder with Budugen behind his back, because Budugen was still relatively pro-Han in general.

Therefore, Jia Xu decided to make a bold decision, he would personally go to Budugen to lobby, hoping that he could persuade Fu Luohan to reconcile with Qin Hua.

Hearing this news, Qin Hua was also very surprised, he always thought that Jia Xu was a very self-interested person, or that he was a very life-sparing person, but he didn't expect that this time he would actually go to Budugen to take risks with only these scattered news.

"The lord must not rush forward, although I don't know why the lord is eager to lead the army to Luoyang, but the Xianbei people are a foreign trouble in Liangzhou, and please treat the lord carefully."

After speaking, Jia Xu took dozens of soldiers and prepared to leave, and Qin Hua personally helped Jia Xu to get on the horse.

The originally somewhat tragic atmosphere was suddenly interrupted by Jia Xu's words: "Lord, if I am captured, the lord must remember to redeem me, even if it is a daughter, he will redeem me." ”

Looking at Jia Xu's appearance, Qin Hua couldn't believe that he was almost forty years old, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly and agreed, and the guards on the side also held back a smile because of Jia Xu's words.

After sending Jia Xu away, Qin Hua is heart seemed to have settled down a lot, and he was no longer as anxious as before.

But his search for Fu Luo Han's main force did not stop, although Jia Xu went to persuade Bu Dugen, but Qin Hua still hoped to be able to fight a good battle with Fu Luo Han's army before Bu Du Gen's order came, so as to show his strength, let the Xianbei people know that even if no one came to mediate, they were not Qin Hua's opponents.

The opportunity soon presented itself.

Because the Qin Hua army captured the nearby tribes back to Liangzhou, part of the army went to transport prisoners and supplies, and the rest of the army began to disperse, and gradually the main formation of the Qin Hua army became a lone army.

Qin Hua also knew this, but he didn't care very much, because from the previous encounters, Qin Hua found that although most of these Xianbei people were skilled in bows and horses, they were only stronger than their personal combat strength, and the combat ability of the legion was like a rabble, scattered.

So he thought that his army of 10,000 men would be enough to deal with a possible attack.

Moreover, those scattered armies were also within a hundred miles, and he could gather them in a day as soon as he encountered a large army of the enemy.

But Qin Hua forgot what he had done to these Xianbei people, because several small tribes were brought back to Liangzhou by Qin Hua, and the warriors from those tribes asked for battle, and the rest of the Xianbei warriors were also worried that Qin Hua would attack their tribes, and they also asked to fight.

At this time, Qin Hua only had 10,000 troops under his command, and Fu Luo Han wanted to take advantage of this plan to defeat Qin Hua, if he could capture Qin Hua, he could use Qin Hua to bring back these captured Xianbei people.

So before dawn that day, Qin Hua heard the alarm from the front door, and the Xianbei army suddenly appeared in front of Qin Hua's camp.

Fu Luohan did not directly attack Qin Hua's camp, and sent people to call for battle.

Qin Hua's large battalion was also set up temporarily, and there were not too many means of defense, so he simply led his subordinates out of the camp to meet the battle.

Looking at the cavalry in front of him, Qin Hua did not have the slightest worry, the cavalry combat ability is strong, but the disadvantages of a single arm are also great, which has been reflected in the previous battles, but I didn't expect these Xianbei people to be obedient yet.

"Liang Xing, you command the archer troops."

"Yes."

"Chen Yin, you lead the sword and shield soldiers to protect the archery troops."

"Yes."

"Zhang Heng, Li Kan, you attack with me."

"Yes."

After giving the order to the four generals under his command, Qin Hua began to wait for the Xianbei people to charge.

Fu Luohan gathered more than 23,000 troops this time, and when he saw that Qin Hua's army had all left the camp, he immediately ordered to start attacking.

"Car net, radiation."

Qin Hua gave an order, and dozens of ballistas were sent out at the same time.

A net of nearly twenty meters was opened, covering the cavalry below, and then, as in the previous battle with the Qiang people, the cavalry caught in the net fell to the ground one after another.

But this time, the Xianbei people learned to be obedient, although they had no way to deal with this kind of net, but they could reduce the speed of the charge, so as to avoid the expansion of the damage.

Seeing this, Qin Hua immediately ordered the large shield soldiers in the front row to prepare for defense, and at the same time ordered the archers to start shooting.

"Whew, Whew, Whew"

Arrows rained down like a torrential rain, and countless Xianbei cavalry were shot and fell to the ground.

At this time, the cavalry at the front had already rushed in front of Qin Huajun, but the big shield like a hedgehog blocked his advance again.

But in the face of the continuous stream of Xianbei cavalry, the big shield array was about to be unable to support it, and finally several shields ended at the same time, and a gap began to appear in the shield array, and the Xianbei people quickly poured in from this gap.

Seeing this scene, Qin Hua immediately began to ride his war horse Heizi, leading Zhang Heng and Li Kan to the cavalry unit.

Now Qin Hua only has 2,000 cavalry troops in his hands, but these cavalry are obviously not enough to deal with the 20,000 enemy troops on the opposite side.

Qin Hua didn't think that these two thousand cavalry could defeat the twenty thousand army, he had only one goal, and that was Fu Luohan at the position of the enemy's middle army.

Led 2,000 cavalry to rush out from the right side of the formation, the rest of the soldiers did not make the slightest fuss, they did not think that their commander had fled, but quickly changed the formation, and began to form a circular defensive formation, with shield soldiers in the outermost circle, then pikemen, then sword and shield soldiers with small shields, and archers in the center.

For the Xianbei cavalry with only leather armor, the lethality of the archers can be maximized at this time, not the pikemen in front.

In the face of the Han army's iron-like formation, the Xianbei people were a little difficult to swallow, and arrows flew out from time to time in the formation, taking away their lives.

After going on like this for a while, they didn't think about breaking through the bucket formation, but also took out their bows and arrows and began to shoot inside.

Their choice was undoubtedly correct, although the Qin Hua army was guarded by iron armor, but in the face of a dense rain of arrows, soldiers would fall from time to time.

Now a situation has been formed in which the two sides are fighting with arrows.

Seeing that the casualties of the army continued to expand, Liang Xing and Chen Yin also knew that they could not continue like this, and they began to order the large array to move, so that they could better kill the Xianbei people.

At this time, Qin Hua began to turn around after leaving the main formation for several miles, and the cavalry, which originally seemed to be preparing to escape, suddenly rushed over with Qin Hua's arrows and began to think about Luo Han's Chinese army.

"Look, Chief."

Fu Luohan, who was watching the attack on the main battlefield of the Han army, was suddenly called out, and only then did he realize that the cavalry that originally seemed to be preparing to break through and escape.

Seeing this cavalry of only 2,000 people, Fu Luohan didn't care very much, and asked people to send 4,000 cavalry to prepare to stop it.
