The sound of small rolling drums sounded, and Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, who were fighting fiercely, heard the drums, and the Wind Legion and the Lightning Legion immediately dodged to both sides.

The military horn sounded, and the two armies of Guan and Zhang began to divide into two long front wings, as if on the land of Bingzhou, a Taiji yin and yang fish was drawn, and the Hun cavalry began to be squeezed from both sides.

The cavalry charge was very different from the infantry: the infantry charge, the distance between the two rows of soldiers was the distance between the spears, the Western infantry spears were more than three meters, and the Chinese infantry spears were between one meter eight and two meters two; However, the distance between the Eastern and Western cavalry charges is about the same, the body of a horse is about two meters, plus the length of the cavalry, there should be at least five meters between the two rows of cavalry, in order to prevent the rear cavalry from attacking the front row, so, in order to leave enough time for the rear cavalry to react, the distance between the two rows is about fifteen meters.

After being squeezed, the distance between the Hun cavalry gradually narrowed. Without the sprinting power of the war horse, in individual combat, no matter how good the Xiongnu riding skills are, they are gradually at a disadvantage.

In a matter of moments, Gao Ran finished the whole team. The squeezed Hun soldiers could not expand to both sides, and then, without hesitation, rushed to Liu Bei's main formation. With a clarion call, the Rainstorm Legion delayed the charge of the Hun cavalry with bows and crossbows.

Gao Ran immediately ordered: "Raise your gun, keep in formation, and move forward slowly." ”

The shots of the bow and crossbow gradually thinned out, two or three. The Hun cavalry had already rushed to the front of the spearmen's array, and Gao Ran waved his spear and shouted: "Beat the drums, attack!" ”

The armies shouted in unison: "No forgiveness!" ”

The sound of the snare drum sounded. A platoon of spearmen stood on their heels, stabbed a shot in the air, and shouted: "Hey, hey." ”

The soldiers of the second row walked through the first row of soldiers like flowers, and then. Du split the air and stabbed a shot: "Hey." ”

This shot is still some distance away from the rushing Hun cavalry, no. When the stunned Hun cavalry reacted, the third row of soldiers came out of the formation, and rows of shiny spear tips were neatly handed to the Hun cavalry - "Hey." ”

The cold sweat of the Hun cavalry had not yet subsided, and the fourth row of spearmen had already arrived bravely-"Hey." "The sharp tip of the spear pierced the horse and pierced the horseman.

The Hun cavalry who took the lead restrained their horses and were dumbfounded. watched the Hun cavalry at the head of the team turn into pulp. Before they could react, the fifth row of Qingzhou soldiers stepped forward to the beat of the rumbling drums and struck out one of their stabs.

Sixteen platoons of spearmen, each platoon of spearmen. When advancing, they all charge to the beat of the drum, ten steps and one stab, regardless of whether there is an enemy or not, and at the tenth step, this shot must be stabbed. In the deafening sound of drums, the sixteen rows of spearmen surged forward wave after wave like waves, and like the wheels of a train, they pushed forward unstoppably, and the Hun soldiers who stabbed off their horses were surrounded and annihilated by the fighters who followed, and the spearmen in the front row only stabbed forward and stabbed forward in a daze.

After ten stabs, the spearmen in front stood on their heels, gasping in place and regaining their strength. The drums continued to beat, and the rear spearmen crossed the front line and began another round of spearman thrusts. After the sixteenth platoon of spearmen advanced more than 700 meters, a total of 160 stabs, the forward gunmen turned to replace.

Wave after wave, like a mountain of guns in the forest, progressing layer by layer. In the wilderness, the heart-wrenching drums beat unhurriedly, and with the beat of the drums, a shout of excitement echoed in an orderly manner. With this shout, blood splattered everywhere, and the faint screams and groans of the Hun soldiers were drowned in the angry shouts and dull drums, like small ripples hitting a boulder, and then shattered by the rocks.

The drums beat unhurriedly, and the slow-paced beat of the drums spread far into the depths of the savannah.

Not far from the battlefield, Yu Fuluo led the 80,000 cavalry of the Left Huns, standing on a small mound, with a pale face.

With a "swoop", a Hun nobleman tore open the placket in front of his chest and shouted: "It's angry! ”

Thinking that under this unhurried drumbeat is an orderly slaughter, and under that calm appearance, there is a bitter hatred and an undying will to fight, which makes people's eyes tear and make people's chests break.

Yu Fuluo's face was bloodless, he gritted his teeth for a long time, and said slowly, word by word: "Liu Qingzhou is here to exterminate the dead race. If we do not win this battle, our Huns will not exist in the world in the future. The Right Huns still wanted to preserve their strength at this moment, so they sent someone to tell them that the day my head was cut off in Fuluo was the day Liu Bei attacked the Right Huns. ”

Three years ago, the Right Huns mobilized the strength of the whole clan to attack Liu Bei, and were severely damaged by Liu Bei's Guards Corps. When Liu Bei was about to retreat, he killed all the war horses, and threw all the ordnance that could not be taken away into the Fen River. The right Huns paid a painful price and gained little, but let the left Huns take advantage of the situation. The Zuo Xiongnu then took the initiative to find Liu Bei to negotiate peace, but Liu Bei did not accept Yu Fuluo's reconciliation, but preached Yu Fuluo's peace everywhere on the grassland. Since then, the gap between the left and right Xiongnu has become wider and wider.

This time, Yu Fuluo invited the Right Huns to send troops, fearing that they would be betrayed by Yu Fuluo again, and the Right Huns did not send a single soldier. Yu Fuluo resented the matter of the right Huns sending troops, and at this moment, with the last glimmer of hope, he wanted to persuade the right Huns to send troops again.

A Hun witch doctor sighed: "It's late! On the steppes, it takes a month to inform the small tribes that are grazing one by one, and it will take at least ten days to gather troops and prepare men and horses. Liu Bei's march was so fast, within ten days, he was afraid that he had advanced to the city of Zi. If we want the right Huns to send troops to help in the war, we must give up the city of Zi and hide in the depths of the steppe. ”

Yu Fuluo shook his head, sighed heavily, and said, "You haven't been in contact with the Han people, so you don't know Liu Bei. The western Liaobei tribe called him a bear, Xianbei once competed with him for Liaoxi, and also wanted to use the rear retreat to lure Liu Bei deep into the prairie, but unfortunately, the Xianbei tribe who withdrew from Liaoxi never returned to their hometown. Liu Bei: That's a bear! If our army withdraws from the hometown of Xihe and loses this happy land rewarded by the Han Emperor, how should we rob the Han people in the future? How do we graze our cattle and horses? Unless absolutely necessary, we must not retreat. ”

Raising his head and listening to the shouts and killings in the distance, Yu Fuluo asked unwillingly: "How is the matter of my clan burying the horses and sick cattle?" ”

Another Xiongnu witch doctor accosted him and said: "According to the report of the Han sentinels, as soon as Liu Bei entered the Xihe, he ordered the three armies: the outbreak of the plague has nothing to do with people's morality, as long as you pay attention to hygiene and boil the water to drink, the plague can be avoided." In addition, the latrines set up by Liu Bei's army far from the water source required soldiers to discharge feces there. Today, in the Qingzhou military camp, there is not a single illness. It seems that Liu Bei is really the hero of the Han people. ”

Yu Fuluo said fiercely: "This natural disaster ** is related to people's morality, this is what the saint among the Han people said, Liu Bei Xiang disrespects their saint, but he can't deceive him of course, is it not in Liu Bei's military camp that there is no one who believes in their saint?" I'm not reconciled. ”

The sorcerers were silent, and Yu Fuluo was melancholy for a long time, and said: "Liu Bei is good at attacking the city, and Lu Bu of Wuyuan County is known as the first brave general in the world, guarding the Tiger Prison Pass, and he was captured by him in one day; Yecheng was majestic, and the third prince of Yuan Shao IV did not hold on for a few days. Zhongyang and Zishi are all cities built by my Xiongnu tribes, and most of the city walls are just a fence, which is not enough to resist Liu Bei, so that all the tribes are scattered. Let them use the tribe as a unit in the future to constantly harass Liu Bei's army. If they encounter Liu Bei's army head-on, let them surrender and find an opportunity to rebel again. The Han people flaunt benevolence and righteousness, and I heard that Liu Bei is the most faithful and righteous, and he will not be embarrassed to surrender his troops. Inform all the tribes, at this juncture of the extinction of the dead clan, let them work hard, and adopt a strategy of rebellion and surrender against Liu Bei, so that they are at a loss. I took the elite soldiers to the right Huns and beckoned them to join the battle. ”

After Yu Fuluo finished speaking, there was a whistle, and his subordinates sorted out their military horses and quickly headed east. The remaining chiefs of the Xiongnu tribes had heavy faces, discussed in low voices, and then dispersed.

In front of Zhongyang City, since the spearmen began to attack, there was no suspense in the battle. The two cavalry armies of Guan and Zhang squeezed from both sides, and the unavoidable Hun cavalry rushed to the front of the Gao Lan spearmen, and several waves rushed down, and there were no standing enemy troops on the battlefield.

Victorious, Liu Bei's face was heavy, and the fierceness of the Hun soldiers was beyond imagination. Many of the Huns who were stabbed down had to drag their stumps even if they had only one breath left, hugging the fighters with their hands, biting their teeth and headbutting, punching and kicking, and fighting until their last breath. The brutality of the battle was beyond imagination, and in the end, the desperate Hun cavalry and horses led people to crash into the Guanzhang cavalry on both flanks, intending to make the cavalry's horses injured and unable to fight again. Fortunately, the armor of the Qingzhou soldiers was strong, and there were not many soldiers killed in battle, but there were countless wounded soldiers and countless wounded war horses, which made Liu Bei feel distressed.

Soon after the battle, a Hun cavalry of more than 1,000 people surrendered, and Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard the news.

"Order: In order to prevent them from hiding short blades, order them to take off their clothes and place all their horses and weapons outside the camp before they are allowed to enter the camp and surrender." Liu Bei's face was expressionless, and he gave orders.

"Wait." Tian Chou said: "Taking off your clothes is a great insult to the Huns. If the lord wants to establish his authority in the grassland, it is better not to do so. ”

Liu Bei smiled softly: "Zitai (Tian Chou), let me ask you, how much does an arrow cost?" How much does a soldier need to be paid a month? ”

Tian Chou opened his mouth and stammered, and Xu Shu cautiously probed: "Never forgive?" ”

Liu Bei's face jumped, and he nodded: "The Huns are nomadic in various places, to supervise them, I need to hire countless soldiers, and revolve around them for many years. Our army has just finished the battle, and it happens that there is a shortage of war horses, so killing them, occupying their horses, and seizing their land is exactly what we are here for. ”

Liu Bei stood up and walked towards the rear camp as he said, "The best enemy is the dead enemy......

After a little rectification, Liu Bei quickly moved forward. In the following days, the Huns who came to Liu Bei's camp to surrender were in an endless stream, and when they entered Liu Bei's camp, they disappeared without a trace.

A Xiongnu tribe with one more heart, after following Liu Bei's army, found that after Liu Bei camped, new soil always appeared in the camp tent, and when these new soil were excavated, it was found that those who disappeared were buried in the ground. At this time, 30,000 Huns had been beheaded by Liu Bei.

The Huns, who came to their senses, launched wave after wave of sacrificed and forgot to die against Liu Bei under the city of Zishi, and under the blows of the crossbowmen, these Huns rarely hit Liu Bei's horse.

"I want to see, is there more Xiongnu people, or more arrows in Qingzhou?" Liu Bei immediately stabbed his sword and stood proudly in front of the formation.

The last time he entered the West River, Liu Bei only brought between 300,000, and this time, after three years of preparation, Liu Bei came with 5 million arrows, among them, the crossbows of the Guards Legion have all been replaced with bow walls made of hemp steel. This extremely elastic bow arm, combined with the eccentric wheel design, increases the range of the crossbow by 30%. A crossbow with a twister can shoot seven rounds of arrows during the cavalry charge, and it is extremely accurate. Under this rain of arrows, the Hun cavalry with thin armor did not rush close to the Qingzhou army formation.

"Encircle, Guan Yu leads the army to outflank from the left, Zhang Fei leads the army to outflank from the right, kill all the fleeing Hun soldiers, don't take prisoners." Liu Bei waved his saber and ordered.

Gao Ran was eager to try: "Lord, can you let me lead the army into the city?" ”

Liu Bei glanced at Zishi City with disdain: "This kind of small mound, I'm not interested in attacking." When the siege is closed, you set fire to the east of the city, and drive out all the people in the city with a great fire—the women remain, and the men kill them all."

It is said that this extermination was the greatest achievement of the great Genghis Khan, and was often praised by the descendants of the survivors of the massacre as a masterpiece of national integration. Back then, out of a population of 50 million in Sichuan, only 400,000 women were killed. Later generations still talk about this act with relish, often proudly saying: "We (a hundred years after the massacre) (the people who conquered us) conquered Moscow.

How many people were there in the Huns, there were certainly not 10 million. It seems that even if they are killed, Genghis Khan will not be able to do it. Well, a little lower status than Genghis Khan is also tolerable. After all, this is the second time in thousands of years, in addition to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, that the Han people have picked up butcher knives against foreign races.

Perhaps, without Qingzhou's dispatch of troops this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would be the only "tyrannical" of the Han people.

At the same time, Cao Cao, who was in Yanzhou, sent troops to conquer Xuzhou. However, as soon as Cao Cao sent his troops, he deviated from the proper route of the march.

Cao Song was killed in Donghai County, which bordered the states of Lu, Pei, and Chu, and according to the normal route of the march, Cao Cao should have entered Shanyang County, or attacked Liang to the south, and then entered Pei, and the troops were directed at Pengcheng of Chu and then into Donghai County; Or, attack Lu to the east and cross the border of Lu into the East China Sea. However, Cao Cao's 300,000 troops set out from Dongping County, first avoided Pingyin City, entered the Snake Hill of Taishan County from Dongping Lu, and advanced to Juping.

Juping is not far from Taishan County Administration, Fenggao County, where Bao Xin is located, Cao Cao is the nominal Yanzhou Mu, Taishan originally belonged to Yanzhou rule, close to Juping, Cao Cao in the name of Yanzhou Mu, asked Bao Xin to send troops to help the war, and supply grain and grass along the way. For a while, Juping County was at a loss, so he had to open the door and rob the thief.

Taishan Lieutenant Huang Zhong was furious, and on the one hand, he personally raised 20,000 soldiers and horses to meet Cao Cao, and on the other hand, he quickly rode to the Qingzhou Senate and asked for reinforcements.
