Volume 1 The Beginning of the Late Han Dynasty Chapter 22 Entering Xianbei

"Wang Wu, where is it now?"

"Yufu Jun, a hundred miles further north is the surrendered city."

Shuofang officials are indeed in short supply, and the influx of 300,000 refugees makes Xiang Ao feel that there are too few people available. In the past ten days, there have been several Xianbei tribes that have been raided by Xiang Ao, perhaps because they are too close to the Han border, the Xianbei tribes that have been raided are not large, most of them are hundreds of people.

Maybe Xiang Ao was soft-hearted, or maybe Xiang Ao was too young, Xiang Ao didn't kill Xianbei. Just kill the herdsmen who resisted, and most of the male Xianbei were disorganized by Xiang Ao into the team as a striker.

The remaining women and children who were willing to go to Shuofang were escorted, and those who did not want to leave the grassland were dismissed.

At this time, the team was not too large, and the Xianbei herdsmen who were incorporated into the team had little impact on the team. Moreover, Xiang Ao was not too harsh on the Xianbei people who were surrendered, and even appointed brave people as captains or even chiefs. Most Xianbei didn't have much resistance. "Surrendered city?" Xiang Ao frowned, "What's the situation now?" ”

"The subordinates don't know, it was built when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty surrendered to the city, and then it has been occupied by the Huns, and no one knows what it is now."

"Then go around the surrendered city and go east."

Knowing himself and knowing that the other side can fight, at the moment when he doesn't know the enemy's situation, Xiang Ao doesn't dare to mess around, not to mention that all the cavalry he leads is not good at attacking the city.

"Newspaper..."

"Qiqi Fujun, there is a large Xianbei tribe fifty miles northeast of our army, with about more than 10,000 people, countless baggage animals, and formal cavalry, about 5,000 people." "Huh? Five thousand? What about armaments?

"From a distance, it is not very good, and there are about two teams of cavalry with armor."

"Order the Scout to expand the scope and take a closer look."

"No!"

After the scout returned again, Xiang Ao's heart was moved. There are no other tribes or forces within a hundred miles, and if the opponent's armor is indeed as scouted by, Xiang Ao is confident that he will get rid of this Xianbei. Xiang Ao led only more than 2,000 horsemen out of Shuofang, plus Xianbei, who was mixed into the army, also had nearly 3,000 troops. Moreover, Xiang Ao's more than 2,000 horsemen are all soldiers and armor with extraordinary bravery.

The grassland is more heroic, and it is more advocating heroes. The law of the jungle makes the survival of the Xianbei herdsmen outside the territory extremely cruel, and at the same time breeds more warriors. Xiang Ao's martial arts are unparalleled, and when he attacked many tribes before, he captured the awe of many Xianbei warriors. In order to be able to eat the large Xianbei tribe in front, Xiang Ao gathered hundreds of Xianbei warriors who were mixed into the army to the thousand troops led by Xiang Ao, and the remaining nearly 2,000 cavalry brought out from Shuofang were led by generals with acceptable prestige and force under the original subordinates.

On the battlefield with thousands of people, even if there is no military general who is capable of fighting well, Xiang Ao can rely on the command banner like an arm. In the vast steppe, whether it is the Xiongnu or the Xianbei, they are all good riders. Xiang Ao had to increase the frequency of scouts and march slowly, so as not to startle the Xianbei tribe with the deafening sound of horses' hooves. Although it is a slow walk, the grassland is the grassland, and the hundred miles are just a few miles away.

"Kill!"

When he was less than thirty miles away from the Xianbei tribe, Xiang Ao saw that the Xianbei tribe had not made any deployment, so he ordered the whole army to rush and did not give Xianbei time to deploy.

Most of the troops brought out by Xiang Ao were either brave or bold in killing, although Xiang Ao had participated in foreign wars many times. Xiang Ao gave an order, and they all responded: "Kill, kill, kill...", and in a moment, the cavalry team of less than three thousand people raised the speed of the war horse to the limit. And the soldiers who rode their horses were all red in their eyes and their expressions were hideous. And the hundreds of Xianbei riders who joined not long ago were also carried away under such momentum, and followed Xiang Ao's horse and shouted.

"Chief, chief." At this time, the peaceful Xianbei tribe was shattered by a loud cry. A scout-like Xianbei cavalry shouted in front of the Xianbei leader's tent.

"Disturb the king's lunch break, and you will be guilty."

The leader of the Xianbei tribe was extremely angry at this time, and the beauties of the Han Dynasty who had just been captured were about to rest for a while after the clouds and rain, when they heard the clansmen who did not know the proportions of the people making noise outside the tent. If there is no urgency, the next time you attack the border of the Han Dynasty, you will be the vanguard. The leader of Xianbei secretly resented in his heart and had condemned this person to death.

"Chief, the scout has come to report that there is a large number of cavalry rushing to the southwest of the camp, and it is very likely that they are coming towards the camp."

"Huh?" The Xianbei leader's heart sank, and he secretly discussed in his heart: Since the arrival of Tanshihuai alone, few other tribes in the Xianbei tribes have made indiscriminate exploits, and the Xianbei of this great king has not offended other tribes, I don't know who dares to attack other tribes so boldly? Or... Just passing through?

"Have you found out who tribe it is?"

"It has not yet been discovered, but the scouts judged from the sound of horses' hooves to come to my camp, and the number is about two thousand. Haven't touched it yet. ”

"It doesn't matter, just have a will in Tanshi Huai, and you can't do anything to each other. Such a number of soldiers must not be soldiers of the Han Dynasty, and it must be something that other tribes have passed by. When the time comes, the king will come forward to greet him. ”

"Yes, Chief." Although Xianbei was anxious, he also felt that what the leader said was reasonable, so he didn't say much and retreated from the leader's tent.

At the time of half a pillar of incense, Xiang Ao had already led the army to the Xianbei camp tent for ten miles, and the marching formation was still neat.

"It's not good, it's the cavalry of the Han Dynasty. Hurry, hurry, hurry! Immediately send the military information back to the camp. The scouts on the periphery finally saw the cavalry army that they had judged before, and at this time they saw that the banner was a large Chinese character "item", although they did not know its meaning, as a scout, they knew that it was a large Chinese character. In a hurry, he panicked and ordered several people around him to evacuate, wanting to transmit the information back to the camp.

Seeing that the scouts had the intention of retreating and fleeing, Xiang Ao raised the longbow hanging behind the horse and took it out, and pulled the bow with arrows, and the three arrows were shot out instantly. In order to completely destroy the scouts, Xiang Ao shot three arrows in a row. The iron arrow left the string, followed by a few "poofs", and the scouts fell off their horses in response. Although the sound of arrows entering the flesh was muffled by the sound of the horse's hooves of the army, it did not affect the sound that Xiang Ao led the soldiers to make up in their minds, followed by the celebratory roar of the army.

I don't know if it was a mistake in Xiang Ao's archery skills, or if the scout riding skills were successful. One of the scouts of the nine-man team escaped, and before Xiang Ao could replenish the arrows, he quickly ran out of the range of Xiang Ao's bow and arrows. Seeing this, Xiang Ao was helpless, so he had to raise his bow and shout: "Raid at full speed!" The herald beside him also quickly waved out Xiang Ao's military order and passed it to the whole army.

"Drive...", "Boil...", the sergeants behind him received the order and urged the horses to gallop.

"Knock knock!" The Xianbei scouts who rushed back to the camp in a panic, after entering the camp, kept beating the gong of urgency, urging the Xianbei cavalry to hurry up and get on their horses: "Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry up and get on the horse to prepare for battle, the elite cavalry of the Han Dynasty is raiding, hurry up and get on the horse and prepare for the battle." ”

"What is the gong ringing?" After hearing the police gong on the wooden couch covered with tiger skins in the tent, the leader of Xianbei turned over in a panic and rushed out of the tent with his clothes haphazardly.

"Chief, it's not good, the elite cavalry of the Han Dynasty is attacking the camp, and there are still a few miles to come." The Xianbei chieftain's personal guards reacted extremely quickly, and at this time, hundreds of cavalry personal guards were gathered around the Xianbei chieftain.

"Huh? The Han cavalry actually left the country. "After the panic of the Xianbei leader, his heart is also on fire, this leader is here this year, and he sees that there are still a few months before the autumn and winter can invade the Han border and make a fortune. I never thought that the generals of the Han border would be so bold as to send troops to attack the camp of the leader. "Blow the rallying order, and let the Han army see the consequences of attacking the tribe of this king."

"Yes, Chief."

"Woo... Whining... Woooooo

The leader of this Xianbei tribe is not a mediocre talent, and as soon as the order fell, five thousand Xianbei cavalry quickly gathered behind him. Before the order was given, the people of the Xianbei tribe could see the Han cavalry rushing towards with the naked eye.

"Boom... Knock knock..."The sound of horses' hooves, which was originally tapping, was now so neat that Xianbei heard it as deafening as thunder. Seeing this, the Xianbei leader was horrified in his heart, his own cavalry had just assembled, but what he ushered in was the impact of the Han cavalry's military formation. I don't have time to think about it, if I turn around and flee at this time, under the impact of the Han cavalry, Xianbei will collapse and rout in a moment.

"Sons, kill." The leader of Xianbei had no choice but to charge at the Han cavalry: "Kill the Han army, and the king will give Han beauties and countless cattle and sheep." Kill..."Countless men in the Xianbei tribe all covet Han beauties, but there are not many Han women on the border, and even fewer beauties. Hearing the chief's promise, they all rushed out of the camp like sheep.

"Kill!" Xiang Ao saw that the other party did not change and fled, and shouted fiercely on his face: "The number of Xianbei killed today, he will exchange military merits in the future, be a marquis general, and glorify the ancestors." Yang Wu Dahan is majestic. Kill..."

"Kill, kill, kill..."The Han army Xianbei staggered in an instant, and the sound of swords and guns colliding spread across the battlefield. On a battlefield with such cold weapons, as long as thousands of people are close to each other, not any one person can control the situation. The originally neat lineup of the Han army collapsed in an instant after the Xianbei Rebellion rushed in. Xiang Ao was also caught off guard, and he never thought that the real Xianbei soldiers would be so brave and even arrogant.

After a Xianbei cavalry collided with a Han cavalry knife and spear, they no longer looked at the rear, and swung their knives at the waist of the Han cavalry who were fighting with another Xianbei cavalry. Before the Han cavalry could get up, several horses' hooves stepped past, and in a moment they became minced meat.

Under the leadership of Xiang Ao, the Xianbei Xiang soldiers led by Xiang Ao suffered fewer casualties. Seeing this, Xiang Ao ordered the whole army to move closer to him, and then led a few extremely brave people in front of him as sharp knives and broke into the Xianbei army without a formation. The Han army, which formed a formation again, under the leadership of Xiang Ao, cut the Xianbei cavalry from it. Suddenly attacked, Xiang Ao immediately sat on the left and right sides, and once again inserted the divided Xianbei cavalry team as sharp as a dagger.

The leader of Xianbei is also a hero, and he organized nearly 2,000 cavalry under such a strong impact on the right led by Xiang Ao, and even used the suicidal defense of Xianbei men and horses to break Xiang Ao's cavalry raid. When Xiang Ao led the right side to turn around and prepare to attack again, Xianbei ignored the casualties and used hundreds of horsemen to attack the right army led by Xiang Ao in the way of exchanging lives for lives, disrupting Xiang Ao's formation.

Xiang Ao was a little anxious when he saw this, if the formation was chaotic by Xianbei, then there would be a short battle under the chaotic formation, even if Xiang Ao's army armor was more elite, so the casualties must be not small.
