Chapter 45: The Siege of the Royal Court

Zhang Liao stood on the hillside, saw General Xianbei running farther and farther, sighed, and rushed back to the battlefield. Looking at the Xianbei soldiers who were struggling to die in the firelight, Zhang Liao sighed, "Wu Anjun pit Zhao 400,000, the world is shocked; Now I have burned more than 200,000 Xianbei troops, I don't know if there is a dry sky? Seeing that the fire on the road in the valley was fading, and the smell of burnt human flesh and horse meat was pungent, Zhang Liao said: "Mingjin retreats." ”

Zhang Liao's 50,000 army did not hurt a single person, almost completely annihilated the enemy, Liu Ze heard that Zhang Liao returned to the army, and greeted him twenty miles away. Seeing Zhang Liao, seeing his sullenness, after a little thought, he understood the reason, so he said: "Wenyuan, Xianbei people invade my border land every year, burning, killing and looting, innocent people, and those who died under the Xianbei knife are countless. Yanmen Mayi, the border fortress is rushing, Wenyuan should know very auspicious. Zhang Liao was reminded by Liu Ze, remembering his hometown father who died under the knife of the Xianbei people, his self-blame was greatly reduced, and his face improved.

Micah was alone in a city, and the waiting rescuers were delayed, and his heart was busy. Baitan City is small, with little savings, and the Xianbei tribes on the periphery have long ceased to exist after being swept by the plundering brigade. Facing more than 200,000 troops in Jizhou, Micah had the heart to break through, and he also knew that it was a mortal ending, and if he didn't break through, he would starve to death in Baitan City sooner or later. Micah thought about it and decided to break through. After making up his mind and feeling relaxed in his heart, Micah came to the city to watch the distribution of the Jizhou army.

Duan Chi returned to Danhan Mountain, didn't care about his body injuries, and told He Lian about the ambush of the army, He Lian gasped, and said to himself in a daze: "How can this be? How so? "And the father of the company Tan Shi Huai is brave, resourceful, it is Tan Shi Huai single-handedly united the Xianbei tribes together, formed a powerful Xianbei cavalry, west of the Huns, south of the Han border, at that time, no one dared to take the lead. Tanshi Huai has only been dead for more than ten years, how can the Xianbei army be so unbeaten. Duan Chi saw that Helian was in a daze, and said softly: "Shan Yu, Marshal Micah is besieged in Baitan City, how to save it?" He Lian woke up from his stunned stupor, sighed, and said, "Do you have a good law?" Duan Chi said: "The soldiers of the royal court are only 50,000, and there are still 80,000 elite soldiers under the head of the right sage Wang Kui. "Helian's son Qianman is young, and although he is named King Zuoxian, he has not yet had military power. He Lian lamented: "The head has always thought that I have robbed his father of the throne of Shan Yu, and he hates Uncle Mica and me in his heart, so he is willing to send troops at this time. Duan Chi said secretly, if there is no help from Miga, how can you sit in a single position. He Lian thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of a good way, and when he saw Duan Chi's injury, he asked him to heal his wounds.

Micah walked around the city and saw a slight flaw in the west of the city, so he decided to break through from the west of the city.

Liu Ze listened to Guo Jia's analysis in the big tent, and couldn't help nodding, Guo Jia said: "Micah looked around at our army's camp, it should be because there are no rescuers outside, and there is a lack of food and grass inside. Instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to take risks, there is still a glimmer of life. Liu Ze said: "Our army deliberately showed weakness to the west, and Micadam broke through from the west gate. Guo Jia said with a smile: "Ming Gong is high-minded." Liu Ze glared at Guo Jia and said with a smile: "Sycophant." ”

That night, Micah fed his soldiers, and in the middle of the night he quietly opened the west gate and galloped along the road that he had seen during the day. Less than ten miles out of the city, only a trumpet was heard, torches were raised on all sides, and the black army surrounded it. Micah sighed, looked at the soldiers behind him, and shouted: "There is no life or death in this battle, charge with me." "Micah, as the right-hand man of Tanshi Huai, is also good in force, the prancing horse holds a knife, and takes the lead in killing the past, and the Xianbei soldiers behind him see the boss scrambling for the first place, and rush forward together. Poor Marshal Micah, he was greeted not by military generals, but by a rain of arrows. Micah was hit by more than ten arrows and fell into the dust. After shooting a rain of arrows, the Jizhou army launched a charge, and the two armies were strangled together. The battle in the dark night, by the faint light of the torches, was more tragic than in the day. When the sky was twilight, the battlefield was silent, and the ownerless war horses wandered in the uninhabited territory.

The Jizhou army waited until dawn, cleaned up the battlefield, rested for a day, and the army set off and marched towards Danhan Mountain.

The weather has entered the spring of March, although the grassland is located in the north, under the blowing of the warm wind, everything recovers, and the vast grassland is full of green. The Jizhou soldiers walked hot, took off their thick leather jackets, and changed into light spring clothes. Ten days later, Danhan Mountain was in sight. The Helian scouts detected the arrival of the Jizhou army, and Helian urgently ordered the leader to lead the army to defend the royal city.

The plundering army on the East Road, after being hit hard in Xianbei Mountain, drove countless cattle and horses, pulled carts, loaded with plundered goods and women, and returned to their homes. Passing through Liaodong, it was Lejin in the proportion of three or seven, leaving a large part.

The plundering team on the west road, the spring breeze was proud, everywhere they went, there were some weak tribes, the more north, the fewer tribes, the tribe leaders discussed, turned west, and turned to the area around Danhan Mountain.

The leader received the order of the Helian army, and as a last resort, he gathered his troops and rushed to Danhan Mountain. As soon as the leader left on the front foot, the plundering team killed the tribe of the leader on the back foot. The tribe of the leader is huge, with a population of more than 800,000, otherwise it would not be able to raise 80,000 elite soldiers. The tribe of the head of the head lived scattered, and half of it was killed by the plundering team, and the head of the head received the news that the tribe was attacked, which was his old book, how could he tolerate it, so he rode back to his hometown with 80,000 fine horses.

The plundering team kills people during the day and sleeps with beautiful women at night, and the small days are really pleasant. However, the army of leaders rushed back, and the good days came to an end. While the Marauders were slaughtering a larger tribe, the leader arrived. Seeing the dead clansmen and the burning tents, the leaders and their men were furious, and 80,000 elite horsemen drew their swords and slaughtered the plundering party. When the plunderers saw the Xianbei cavalry, they gave up the slaughter of the tribe, and more than 300,000 people rode horses and rushed towards the cavalry. When the young men of the tribes near Kuitou heard that Kuitou had returned to the army, they all took up arms and swarmed to surround the plundering party. Five or six hundred thousand horses, strangled together, the horses neighed, blood splattered, and the ground under their feet flowed. The plundering team will only rely on the large number of people, four or five people around a Xianbei cavalry to fight, the leader commands the cavalry, and chisels through the plundering team back and forth, several rounds, and the plundering team members suffer heavy casualties. The leaders saw that the situation was not good, and shouted loudly, the plundering team members and the young men who came from Xianbei were strangled together, and the head was dumbfounded, how could the army be allowed to go back and forth, and as a last resort, they waved the army into the war group, and did not pay attention to any tactics.

He Lian was trapped in the royal city, anxious, why hadn't the bastard Kuitou arrived yet, did he really want to take advantage of the fisherman? Doesn't he know the truth of cold lips and teeth?

Liu Ze's army besieged Wangcheng, and the Eagle Trainer reported that there was an army of 80,000 people, coming and going, and did not rush to Wangcheng. Liu Ze was confused, and asked Shi A to send scouts to investigate from afar, and he must figure out the situation.

A small group of scouts sent by Shi Ah rushed to the Kuitou tribe, and saw the corpses in the tribe from a distance, and the fire that had not yet been extinguished was everywhere. Under the cover of trees, when they quietly approached and looked again, almost none of the Xianbei people and marauders could move, and they knew that there was a big battle.

At this moment, the head was paralyzed on the ground, his eyes were full of despair, among the more than 200,000 tribes, there were 80,000 elite horsemen, and less than one percent survived; The sacked tribe had almost no survivors, and the leader had wanted to rely on 80,000 elite horsemen and nearly a million troops to seek a single position, but now it was all in vain. Sadness and despair came one after another, and the head screamed and fainted to the ground.

Liu Ze received the scout report and secretly thought, take advantage of your illness to kill you. Ordered Zhang Fei and Xu Chu to lead 20,000 troops, with scouts as guides, to rush to the Kuitou tribe, what to do? Understand for yourself.

Seeing that there were no more Xianbei reinforcements, Liu Ze decided to attack the city and let Helian see the might of the Han army.
