Liu Ze arranged 50,000 elite soldiers in Nanzhai, and his own heavily armed guard battalion was also brought by Dian Wei. The Youzhou soldiers are not at a loss, they are strong soldiers of the Han Dynasty, especially the white horse Yicong's combat effectiveness is extremely strong. 150,000 horses attacked 100,000 Xianbei, the results were quite brilliant, 100,000 Xianbei left more than 30,000 corpses, and the rest fled in a hurry. Tian Yu led 20,000 white horses and chased them down. Gongsun Fan and Dian Wei turned around and went north to kill.

The Xianbei people's formation was chaotic, and those who trampled on each other and died were innumerable. The tripartite coalition forces were all red-eyed, and under the leadership of their respective generals, they frantically slashed and killed the Xianbei people. When the two armies meet, the brave wins, and the war once again confirms this sentence. Xianbei people in the face of the coalition army's lifeless fighting, gradually feel frightened, although the Xianbei people are also fierce in their bones, but in the face of the battle method of fighting for their lives, Xianbei people are afraid, they are used to fighting with the wind, when they encounter such a tough opponent, the first thing that comes to mind is to run. So the war horse assaulted towards the main formation, and when it encountered congestion, the Xianbei people who fled for their lives did not hesitate to show their knives.

The battle continued until the next morning, and the radius of hundreds of miles was littered with dead horses and soldiers. When Liu Zeming was guarding the army, there were less than 300,000 coalition soldiers standing. The auxiliary soldiers hurriedly cleaned up the battlefield, and the advantages of equipment were reflected, and almost 100,000 Jizhou soldiers were injured, while less than 30% of the soldiers in Youzhou and Bingzhou could be rescued if they fell to the ground.

He Lian originally wanted to organize men and horses to attack Liu Ze's camp, but when he saw the dense soldiers on the walled wall in the city, he was treated with guns and had to dispel this idea. In fact, the soldiers on the walled wall are all scarecrows, and they are far away from Lian, so they can't see it really, so they fell for Liu Ze.

More than a million reinforcements were scattered into birds and beasts, and the messengers of the company ran out for hundreds of miles, and did not recall a single soldier. In desperation, Helian ordered the wolf smoke to be lit again.

After more than ten days of rest and recuperation, there were still more than 200,000 soldiers in the Jizhou army who could fight, and the seriously wounded soldiers were transferred back to Xiangping for treatment. Liu Ze consulted with his subordinates to attack the royal court. Xu Shu wanted to perform, and said first: "Ming Gong, Xianbei people don't live in houses, they love tents, and tents are flammable, if you can set fire to the camp tents in the city, the defenders will panic, and they will definitely break the city." Jia Xu shook his head and said: "Xianbei Wangcheng, operated for two generations, is extremely strong, and the range of the stone-throwing vehicle is limited, so this method is difficult to do. Guo Jia said: "What Yuan Zhi said, it may not be impossible, this law cannot be done unless Ming Gong can't do it." Liu Ze was stunned for a moment and said, "Feng Xiao said it clearly." "Hehe, I remember that day Ming Gong played with Miss Yueying, and he made a lamp, put down some fuel, and the lantern could rise in the air." Liu Ze patted his head and said, "That's what you mean, Feng Xiao, what do you mean...."Guo Jia said with a smile: "This or a miracle." Although Jia Xu was old, his studious spirit was undiminished, and he hurriedly asked: "The lantern soared into the air by itself, how did Ming Gong do it?" Liu Ze said with a smile: "Mr. Wenhe, wait a while, you'll know in a while." ”

Liu Zezhen admires Guo Jia's head, he is worthy of Nan Bowan among the strategists, and he turns fast. Think about the fifteenth day of the first month of the later generations when the Kong Ming lanterns were released, many Kong Ming lanterns were hung on the branches of the trees, and they burst into flames.

Liu Ze made out the Kong Ming lantern, and after lighting the fire, the lantern rose into the air, and Jia Xu was dumbfounded. Liu Ze ordered the craftsmen in the army to make larger lanterns in accordance with the law, and the specifications must be consistent. Liu Ze ordered people to visually measure the distance from the military camp to Xianbei Wangcheng, and began to refuel Kong Ming lanterns, the thickness of the wicks was all the same, and the amount of oil was different, all of which were marked. After measuring the wind speed, more than a dozen lanterns began to slowly rise into the air, drifting away with the wind, Liu Ze ordered people to follow on horseback and measure the distance between the landing lanterns and the camp. After a few moments, I finally got the right lantern. Liu Ze immediately ordered people to manufacture it in large quantities.

On a breezy night, tens of thousands of lanterns rose from the Jizhou military camp and floated towards the Xianbei Royal City. When they reached the top of the royal city, the lantern ran out of oil, the flame became smaller, and the lantern began to fall, and the remaining flame in the wick immediately ignited the shrunken silk cloth and ignited the fire. The guards at the head of the city saw the lights floating in the sky, and they didn't know why, until they saw the fire in the city, they realized that something bad was wrong, and immediately warned them. Xianbei Wangcheng is located at the foot of Danhan Mountain, the fire is ignited, the air flow rises, one side is replenished by air, and the other side is blocked by the mountain, the replenishment is slow, and the airflow is unbalanced immediately, leading the fire to spread in the direction of Danhan Mountain.

Liu Ze saw that the royal city was on fire, illuminating half of the sky, and ordered the siege of the city. Helian's big tent was also affected, and Lian never dreamed that the fire was man-made, thinking that the soldiers were accidentally walking the water, and when he saw that half of the royal city was burning, he was desperate, and organized the soldiers to rush to the city, and he was also worried that the Jizhou army would take advantage of the situation to attack the city.

When He Lian arrived at the head of the city, the soldiers at the head of the city were suffering from the baptism of stone rain, and when He Lian's personal guards saw this, they hurriedly escorted He Lian to a safe place. After the rain of stones, the ladder was followed by a ladder on the city wall, and the defenders were just about to rise up, when the rain of arrows came, and their robes behind them were engulfed by fire, and the miserable screams made the guards miserable. The guards began to fight back under double pressure, and He Lian personally stood at the head of the city to command.

The Jizhou soldiers shot a rain of arrows as if they didn't want money, causing huge casualties among the Xianbei guards. Gao Shun's trapped camp and Dian Wei's heavy battalion were all sent up by Liu Ze. Dian Wei and Gao Shun climbed the city wall almost at the same time, and immediately launched a crazy killing, and the soldiers behind them quickly went to the city, organized, and attacked. More Jizhou soldiers came up, and Helian was desperate, holding a sharp sword, and rushed forward, and the guards around him couldn't stop Helian who was crazy. He Lian was very unfortunate to meet Dian Wei, watching this gorgeously dressed man kill him with a sword, Dian Wei ignored it, a halberd swung away the long sword, and a halberd chopped off He Lian's good head.

Gao Shun opened the city gate, and the Jizhou cavalry entered the royal city like the wind, and immediately unfolded, killing the recalcitrant Xianbei soldiers. Half of the royal city is still immersed in the sea of fire, and the living Xianbei people in the royal city, except for the old and the young, are basically gone.

The fire only burned down the tents and burned the Xianbei people, but the gold, silver and jewelry could not be burned. There are countless treasures plundered by Xianbei, and Gongsun Fan, Tian Yu, and Zhang Xiu who saw it were dumbfounded, there are too many of them. Liu Ze generously gave Gongsun Fan and others a few cars of treasures, and Gongsun Fan scratched his ears and cheeks, praising Liu Ze for his righteousness. Liu Ze said with a smile: "After this battle, Xianbei's vitality was greatly damaged. General Gongsun returned to Youzhou and explained to General Boqi that the Xianbei people were wild wolves that could not be fed, and when they fell into the water, they struck hard to remove this scourge for the border people of our Han Dynasty. Zhang Xiu and Tian Yu fought side by side with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others during this time, cherishing each other, and were about to break up, and they were reluctant to give up. Liu Ze smiled and said to Zhang Xiu: "General Zhang is known as the king of spears in the north, he is brave and invincible, but he is under the hands of Li Dao and Guo Yan, and he is very sorry for the general. Jia Xu was on the side and said to Zhang Xiu: "Virtuous nephew, the old man is the eldest one, please give your uncle a word." Jia Xu and Zhang Ji have a good relationship, Jia Xu should call Zhang Xiu a virtuous nephew, Zhang Xiu saw Jia Xu speak, and said respectfully: "Sir, please speak." "Li Dao Guo Yan, the eyes of the rat are bright, if there is any difficulty, you can come to Xiangping." Zhang Xiu said: "The little nephew must bring the words to the uncle." ”

Sending away Gongsun Fan and others, Jia Xu fluttered and knelt in front of Liu Ze, Liu Ze was shocked and hurriedly wanted to pull up Jia Xu, Jia Xu insisted on not allowing it, whimpered and said: "Jia Xu is incompetent, he made this decision, and he was killed several times, and he was guilty of all the crimes." Liu Ze saw that Jia Xu couldn't afford it, so he knelt down in front of him, held Jia Xu's hands, and said sincerely: "Mr. made a plan, and the decision was on me, not Mr.'s crime." And if there is no training, how can the Xianbei disaster be removed, Mr. is not only innocent, but has a great merit, since then, my Han border people can sleep with peace of mind. "The lord does not see the punishment, but praises it, and he is ashamed." Jia Xu saw Liu Ze kneeling on the ground, and hurriedly pulled Liu Ze to stand up, Liu Ze held Jia Xu with both hands and stood up together, Jia Xu deeply realized Liu Ze's true feelings, was greatly moved, his tears were blurred, and said: "Jizhou's troops, half of the loss, the lord cares." Liu Ze said: "The big waves wash the sand, and the real gold is present." The Jizhou soldiers entered the grassland, and there were no less than 30 battles of all sizes, and the remaining soldiers can be called elite soldiers in a hundred battles. ”
