Volume 2 The Yellow Turban Rebellion Chapter 20 The First Battle of the Qiang People

"Brother Kong Ming doesn't have to worry too much, although the lord didn't share his worries with us, but if you look closely at the lord's arrangement, you will be very loyal!" What Xi Zhong said was Xiang Aotun's soldiers in the field. At first, the two of them realized that Xiang Ao's arrangement to dismiss the soldiers was really wasteful, and after the two of them figured it out, they were extremely afraid to think about it!

Hu Zhao nodded, and then didn't say more, but carefully looked at the map of the entire thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, and thought about the situation after the real chaos in the world for Xiang Ao.

It is worth mentioning that Xiang Ao finally persuaded Hua Tuo to stay in the Northern Regions after the New Year. To this end, Xiang Ao spent a huge amount of money to set up a medical lecture hall in Wuyuan, which occupies an area several times larger than General Xiang Ao's mansion, and is used for weekday lectures and placement of students. Hua Tuo always thought that Xiang Ao was expressing his attention to Hua Tuo, but in fact, no one knew that Xiang Ao had more arrangements for the school, but it was not suitable to show it in front of people for the time being.

After getting Liu Hong's approval, the Northern Regions vigorously implemented the things that the people handed over to popularization. Although Xiang Ao is only the basis for teaching the people some literacy and pedantry, the matter has been formed, and after the teaching becomes a trend in the future, even if the family blocks it, Xiang Ao has the support of the people to implement this matter.

The Xianbei boundary is almost all plateau grassland landforms, with a flat river and few mountains and forests. The vast grassland, as far as the eye can see, has no shelter under the scorching sun. The breeze is gentle, and the grass and shrubs on the grassland sway. Along the way, there were occasional or hundreds of small tribes, but Xiang Ao didn't pay attention to them and galloped by. However, when the people of the small Xianbei tribe saw Xiang Ao's banner, they were frightened and panicked, and fled in a hurry to the north.

At this time, it was more than ten days after Xiang Ao sent troops, and it was nearly May.

"How long is it until Lady Fan City?"

"My lord, it's about ten days away." Jiao Meng's rough voice replied: "However, the scout came to report that there were traces of a large number of horses passing by a hundred miles away, and it was suspected that the Qiang cavalry was passing by." ”

"Why haven't we met?" Xiang Ao frowned, since he had found traces of the other party's march, but there was no trace of him all the way, Xiang Ao was extremely worried that the two sides would pass by by mistake.

"The scouts are still investigating, I don't know yet!"

"Lord, the last general thinks that he will stop and wait for the time being, if he misses the Qiang cavalry and releases the cavalry into the territory of the Northern Regions, there will be no point in waiting for this trip!" Zhang He suggested on the side. Although Zhang He has the talent to lead troops, he has seen too many battlefields, and Zhao Yun is the same. Xiang Ao sent troops to lead the two of them this time, just to let the two of them see and understand.

"What you say is very true!" Xiang Ao nodded and said, "Order the whole army to rest on the spot!" ”

"No!" Jiao Meng took the order and left.

"Zilong, Jun Yi!" Xiang Ao beckoned Zhao Yun and Zhang He to come to him.

"Lord!"

"The grasslands in the north of the region are too empty, and we don't have much experience in stealth marching." Xiang Ao was a little worried: "Later, Zilong led 3,000 righteous followers, and Jun Yi led 5,000 cavalry to divide the troops into east and west, and marched 100 miles away from most of us. "The three thousand cavalry trained by Zhao Yun has been formed, different from Xiang Ao's demonic momentum, the cavalry led by Zhao Yun has more endless righteousness, and Xiang Ao gave him the name of righteous servant.

"Lord, no, if the lord encounters most of the Qiang cavalry after the division of troops, I am afraid that the lord's public security will be in danger!"

"What General Zilong said is extremely true! The lord shall not take any risks, and if the lord is lost, the two of us will not be able to atone for their sins. ”

"What is the order of our army?" Xiang Ao shouted angrily.

"Ling Rushan has arrived!" The two of them reflexively stood up straight, clenching their fists and shouting.

"In that case, why is the order of the general opposed?" Xiang Ao's face softened slightly: "You two obey orders!" ”

"But my lord..."

"It's okay, Ah Meng is behind the general, it's not a big deal, the five thousand guards of the general are not vegetarians. Besides, who can use force? ”

Xiang Ao waved his hand to stop the two from admonishing, and said arrogantly. Although Zhao Yun and Zhang He agreed with what Xiang Ao said, they were still worried, and it was inconvenient to disobey Xiang Ao again, so they met in private and tried to ensure Xiang Ao's safety.

"No!" Zhao Yun and the others had no choice but to accept their orders.

At this time, among the Qiang soldiers and horses, a Hun asked Bian Jing with a little resentment: "General Bian, since the officials and troops of the Northern Regions have not discovered us, why don't you divide into two divisions to encircle and annihilate Xiang Ao?" ”

"There is no need to worry about holding the corpse and chasing the marquis, Xiang Ao, the general of the Great Han Guard, is not so simple to win, although the Qiang cavalry led by this general is extraordinary, but it is still slightly insufficient for the cavalry of the Northern Regions." Holding until the corpse chased Hou Shan Yu is the son of Qiangqu Yu Fuluo.

Yu Fu Roben followed most of the Southern Xiongnu to Xiang Ao, but there are no impermeable walls in the world. On the same day, Xu Fu planned to kill Qiangqu for Xiang Ao, and Yu Fuluo was worried that Xiang Ao would kill himself later, and secondly, he hated Xiang Ao for killing his father and exterminating the clan, so when Xiang Ao sent troops to quell the rebellion against the Yellow Turban, he led a few cronies to escape from the northern region and collect the remnants of the Southern Xiongnu outside the territory.

If it weren't for the bad timing, Yu Fuluo would have attacked the Northern Regions as early as Xiang Ao before he returned to the Northern Regions. However, the rebellion of the Western Liangqiang people also allowed Yu Fuluo to find a slightly reliable ally Bian Zhang, and borrowed troops to attack the land of the state. However, the Xiongnu and Bian Zhang and others, it is not known who borrowed whose soldiers.

"Since Xiang Ao sent troops outside the fortress this time, he must want to remove the battlefield from the Northern Regions and eliminate us in the Xianbei Realm." Bian Jing said with a smug face: "Although the officers and soldiers are elite, how can Xiang Ao who fought in the grassland land compare with us. In this way, Xiang Ao wants to discover our whereabouts and only divide the troops, as long as this group divides the troops, it will be the time for this person's life to fall! ”

Bian Jing said, his face was fierce, and his heart was even more excited. If he can capture and kill Xiang Ao in one fell swoop, Bian Jing will definitely be able to become a famous man, and when the time comes, the fame of all scholars in Xiliang will be as famous as his father Bian Zhang!

"Report!"

"Speak!"

"General Yubian, the officers and troops have been divided!"

"Oh?!" Bian Jing was extremely excited when he heard this: "How to divide the troops?" ”

"It is divided into three parts, separated by more than 100 miles. There are about 7,000 people in the official army headquarters! ”

"Hahaha..."Bian Jing laughed: "Heaven helps the general!" Since Xiang Ao is looking for death, Ben will accept this person's head. ”

"Ordered the whole army to hide behind the officers and soldiers and raid the official army base camp. In addition, each sent 1,000 good archers and cavalry, and led the cavalry on the left and right flanks of the official army to be farther away from the official army. ”

"No!"

After Xiang Ao divided his troops, he sent additional scouts to explore the traces of the Qiang cavalry. Especially the left and right wings of Zhao Yun and Zhang He, they frequently sent scouts to communicate with Xiang Ao's headquarters, for fear that Xiang Ao's army would be attacked. Xiang Ao smiled slightly bitterly when he saw Zhao Yun and Zhang He's actions, but he was grateful for the two of them, and he didn't say much, acquiescing to the behavior of the two.

Before then, Xiang Ao sent a report to the scouts on both flanks, all of whom found traces of the Qiang cavalry, and engaged Zhao Yun and Zhang He. Slightly strange is that the fighting was not fierce, and the Qiang people were quick to go. Xiang Ao frowned slightly after hearing the information.

Xiang Ao stopped marching, glanced in the direction of Zhao Yun and Zhang He, and then turned around and secretly begged in his heart: Hehe, transfer the tiger away from the mountain, and want to swallow my Chinese army? In this case, Ben will come to a plan!

"Li Zhu takes the order!"

"The last general!"

"Quickly lead 3,000 cavalry to place fifty miles behind the right side of the Chinese army to conceal their whereabouts, and wait for the Yunxiao bullet to flank the enemy!"

"No!" Li Zhu didn't think much about it and led the troops away.

Xiang Ao led the three thousand guards and the Yu Killing Battalion to continue to pretend to march towards Lady Fan's City. Xiang Ao lowered his head and squinted at the rear of the Chinese army, and secretly begged in his heart: The bait has arrived, and he wants to see what the heirs of the Han family are capable of.

"Kill!" Less than half an hour after Li Zhu left, Bian Jing saw that Xiang Ao was still dividing his troops, and his heart was even more excited.

Bian Jing did not take Xiang Ao lightly, and almost the entire army of Xiang Ao's Chinese army swarmed out, and the cavalry of 15,000 people rushed towards Xiang Ao's 3,000 Chinese army like countless ants.

"The whole army is rushing north!" Seeing this, Xiang Ao's face was full of calmness and he shouted. The standard-bearer beside him immediately ordered the whole army. In an instant, the three thousand elites led by Xiang Ao did not hesitate, and they followed the order without fear.

The border followed, and did not slow down the speed of the whole army, biting Xiang Ao and not letting go.

"Boom..."On the grassland, the sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, shaking the earth and trembling, even the occasional eagle passing in the sky turned around and walked away.

"Kill!" Different from the noisy shouts of the Xianbei or Hun cavalry seen in the past, the cavalry led by Bian Jing obviously had a much better military discipline. Even with such an atmosphere of chasing and killing, more than 10,000 cavalry were not chaotic. Except for the occasional shouting of killing led by Bian Jing, there was nothing else.

I don't know if the Qiang cavalry was more elite, or if Xiang Ao deliberately, the Bian Jing army, which was originally thirty miles away, had chased after it at this time, and it was less than ten miles away. Many soldiers in the Bian Jing army also began to look excited, and their eyes were full of bloodthirst. Especially the thousands of old Huns on the side of the military formation, their faces began to be hideous, and they even let out excited shouts such as "Oh cluck..."

Bian Jing glanced sideways at the Southern Hun cavalry, and his eyes were full of disdain.

The ten-mile journey was immediately known that when the Bian Jing army was less than three miles away from Xiang Ao's cavalry, Xiang Ao's army formation finally changed. Xiang Ao and Jiao Meng each led half of the lead, one left and one right staggered, and then dozens of zhang forward, and the two teams rode inward at the same time. After riding backwards, more than a dozen people were in position, and the two teams of men and horses staggered again and staggered towards the Bian Jing army.

Bian Jing's eyes widened when he looked at it. Crying out in my heart: How is it possible? How can it be?

The two military formations were staggered, and since there was no collision, this is cavalry, okay? Not infantry! At this time, tens of thousands of monsters rushed by in Bian Jing's mind, which shocked Bian Jing's dizziness. Bian Jing was shocked in his heart, shook his head and shouted: "Kill!" Kill! Kill! More than 10,000 cavalrymen shouted with the sound, and the momentum was shocking.

At this time, Xiang Ao's army formation had been reversed, and the two separate teams of cavalry were rapidly approaching the middle, and at the moment of collision with Daoqiang's cavalry, the two teams of men and horses staggered again.

"Burst!" Xiang Ao shouted at the moment before crashing into the Bian Jing army formation: "Yu kills out!" ”

"Feather kills into a demon! Kill! Kill! Kill! The accompanying three thousand feathers followed Xiang Ao and shouted, and his momentum was comparable to that of the Bian Jing army.

"Boom ....." There was a roar, and the two armies fought.

"Ding, ding, ding..." Bell...", or swords collide, or slash into the body, or swords are bounced off by the opponent's fine armor, and the battlefield is filled with harsh sounds.

And when Xiang Ao began to change formations, he had already ordered someone to release a cloud signal. Bian Jing thought it was a means for Xiang Ao to command the military formation, and he didn't think much about it.
