Chapter Eighty-Three: The Xianbei People's Counterattack (Part II)

The unbridled and endless deprivation of the tribal alliance, as well as the melee that spread throughout the Xianbei tribe at the end of the year, finally angered the remaining Xianbei people.

Jian'an six years, early winter.

Kebineng met with the leader in Tanggukou, and no one knew what he said, but in December, the Xianbei royal court and Kebineng joined forces to send troops, and a total of 110,000 Xianbei warriors went south, and in just three days, they swept away thirteen alliance tribes.

The lord of the tribe finally panicked, and while gathering the warriors in the clan, he sent someone to contact Ye Zhao and ask Ye Zhao for help, hoping to get the assistance of the Han army.

"Is it finally getting started?" After Ye Zhao heard the news, his eyes lit up, and after sending away the messenger asking for help, he looked at Xi Zhicai and the others and said with a smile: "Xianbei Royal Court and Kebi can join forces to gather 110,000 soldiers and horses!" Last year's war, for Xianbei, it seems that it hurts deeply! ”

The Hu people are different from the Han people, the Hu people are basically a race where all the people are soldiers, Ye Zhao only dared to raise 100,000 soldiers and horses with a population of several million, but on the grassland, a tribe of 3,000 people can come up with a thousand string controllers, these so-called string controllers, who are herdsmen on weekdays, will quickly assemble in wartime, and get on the horse and take weapons to control the strings.

This time, the Xianbei people joined forces to go south, obviously wanting to completely destroy the tribal alliance, the traitor organization and cancer of the Xianbei people, not to mention pouring out, but there are definitely not many troops left.

In this way, the total population of the Xianbei people is now about 400,000, Ye Zhao remembered that when he was in Luoyang, he had read some documents, and there were special records for the population of the Saiwai ethnic groups in the Han Dynasty, and the Northern Xiongnu could not reach it, but the Southern Xiongnu and Xianbei were all neighbors, and the Han Dynasty had a record of its population.

However, those records had been pushed back more than ten years at that time, and Emperor Ling no longer paid attention to these data.

Judging from the records at that time, the population of the Southern Xiongnu was about 500,000, and when Ye Zhao went out to conquer the Southern Xiongnu, although there were no specific statistics, the approximate data could still be speculated, and it was probably this number, and the difference was not large.

The Xianbei tribe does not include the Wuhuan in the east and the big tribes in the west that have basically nothing to do with Xianbei, the population is about three million, the range of activities is three hundred miles west of Yinshan, and the east is about to the Wuhuan Mountain area of Youzhou, before Ye Zhao took the position of Ma Cheng Ling, although the Wuhuan Mountain area is the territory of the Wuhuan people, there are also a large number of Xianbei tribes.

And now, the two largest forces in Xianbei, the combined population of Wang Ting and Kebineng is only 400,000, and the population of the tribal alliance has developed in a blowout in the past year, about 300,000, that is to say, the population of the entire Xianbei tribe has decreased by more than half in the past 30 years.

"This battle came at a good time!" Xi Zhicai nodded and smiled: "Although the tribal alliance has been deliberately suppressed by the lord in the past year, it has developed quite rapidly, and the blood of Xianbei has been almost sucked by us, otherwise these tribes will never dare to stretch their hands into the tribes that Kebi can directly manage, this tribal alliance is like a double-edged sword, before there are enough Xianbei people on the grassland, they are the sharp weapon to destroy Xianbei in the hands of the lord, but once the flesh and blood on the grassland cannot satisfy them, and these Xianbei people are used to the previous profiteering, I'm afraid that I will turn my attention to my Han people, and now Kebi can join forces with the leader to go south, just to help us consume the vitality of the tribal alliance, but in order to avoid these people biting back, the minister thinks that it is better to send a general to preside over the overall situation, and also let these Xianbei people feel at ease. ”

Ye Zhao nodded and looked at the people under the tent.

Hua Xiong was sent by him to serve as the protector of the Western Regions, but now there are many fierce generals under Ye Zhao's command, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Zhang Xiu, Guan Hai, Ding Li, Wei Yan, and a handsome Xu Rong, each of these people has a huge reputation in the tribal alliance, and any one of them can hold the scene in the past.

"Xu Rong." Ye Zhao finally set his eyes on Xu Rong and said with a smile: "In this battle, you still need to preside over the overall situation, so that you have five thousand elite soldiers, converge with the army of the tribal alliance, and face the army of Xianbei Royal Court and Kebineng, how to fight the battle, you are in charge, but there is one point, as much as possible, to consume the strength of the people on both sides!" ”

Xu Rong bowed when he heard this: "Don't worry, the last general will know what to do." ”

The purpose of this battle is not only to destroy the enemy, but also to pit teammates, although Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Liao now have the ability to take charge of themselves, but they have always been mainly to break the enemy, how to pit their teammates to death without their teammates knowing, this kind of advanced technical work is probably difficult to do, this is also the reason why Ye Zhao chose Xu Rong, among the generals under Ye Zhao's command, only Xu Rong is a handsome talent who can focus on the entire battle situation.

"Wei Yan and Zhang Xiu are listening to the tune under your account." Ye Zhaodao.

Xu Rong is a good commander, but in terms of martial arts, he is basically at the same level as Ding Li and Fang Yue, not bad, but it is definitely not very powerful, so generally when Xu Rong goes out, Ye Zhao will match Xu Rong with two lieutenants with good martial arts.

In the past, it was Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao or Guan Hai, but now Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao are already the main generals in charge, and Guan Hai is also the chief general of the Air Force, so they are no longer suitable for Xu Rong to continue to be deputy generals, so the younger Zhang Xiu and Wei Yan happened to be sent to Xu Rong, first, to increase the experience of leading troops, and secondly, although the martial arts of these two people are not as good as Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, these two people can definitely be regarded as the top generals.

"Whoa!" Wei Yan and Zhang Xiu took a step forward and bowed.

At that moment, Xu Rong received the order arrow, and took Wei Yan and Zhang Xiu to order 5,000 elite soldiers to lead the troops to Yanze, the tribal alliance has gathered the soldiers and horses, ready to fight to the death with the royal court and Kebineng, but the royal court and Kebineng have 110,000 combined troops, and the combined soldiers and horses of the tribal alliance are only more than 70,000 and less than 80,000, which is also the reason why I went to Jin to ask Ye Zhao for help.

Let them burn and loot, they are fine, but when it comes to such a large-scale war, no one in this tribal alliance can command so many soldiers and horses, and no one has the prestige to subdue all the tribes.

Xu Rong came forward to command the army of the tribal alliance, and a group of tribal leaders and leaders were naturally convinced, not to mention that the other party was Ye Zhao's confidant general, but in the past year or so, Xu Rong has shown his iron and bloody skills on the grassland, and they can't help but disagree.

Three days later, two hundred miles east of Yanze, at the intersection of the Yinshan Mountains and the Yanshan Mountains, Xu Rong commanded more than 70,000 Xianbei warriors of the tribal alliance and the 5,000 Han troops he brought, a total of 80,000 soldiers and horses.

The two armies confronted each other in an open place at the intersection of the two mountain ranges at a distance of hundreds of paces, in front of the two armies, the leader as the commander of the coalition army, when he saw the tribal alliance's colorful banners, the eye-catching Han flying dragon rider, his eyes revealed a hideous murderous intent, and he said: "These Xianbei shame actually support the Han people to command them!" The glory of the Xianbei people has been ruined by them! ”

Kebi Neng heard this, sighed, compared to the leader, he is much calmer, he knows very well that today's situation seems to be the people of these tribal alliances in front, but in fact, it is still the Han man who really controls all this and makes the great Xianbei form this endless situation now, Ye Zhao!

"Moba!" Kebi can turn around, look at a tower-like man beside him and say, "Go and frustrate their spirit!" ”

"Good!" The warrior named Mo Ba rode out of his horse, came to the front of the two formations, stopped at a distance of two hundred steps from the alliance army, bent his bow and arrows, pointed to the sky, and the five-stone strong bow was slowly pulled away by him until it was as round as the full moon, and the sharp arrow cluster was aimed at the top of the big man's banner, and then the right hand that was clenching the bowstring loosened, only to hear a muffled sound of 'hum', and the cold arrow cluster tore through the void, and came out slightly empty with a sharp roar.

"Huh~"

The sharp whistle came from far and near, and the arrow cluster instantly pierced the void and went straight to the big Han handsome banner behind Xu Rong.

"Bang~"

Everyone only felt that the cold light flashed in front of them, and the handsome flag behind Xu Rong made a muffled sound, and the people around Xu Rong looked up, only to see that three feet above Xu Rong's head, on the flagpole that was as thick as an ordinary person's thigh, a sharp arrow was inserted upside down on the flagpole, and the tail of the arrow was still buzzing.

"Two hundred steps apart, it can still have such power, the other party uses a five-stone bow!" Wei Yan raised his head and sighed.

The range of the Han army's three-stone crossbow has reached two hundred steps, but that is because of the help of the organic group, so that ordinary soldiers can also pull, but the Xianbei people are not so advanced, so they can shoot arrows here, and there is this kind of power, which is absolutely impossible to do with the three-stone bow, the opponent's bow is actually a five-stone strong bow, even if Ye Zhao's fierce generals gather, but it is rare to be able to pull the five-stone bow full, among the Xianbei people, there are such masters.

"Is it a provocation?" Zhang Xiu snorted coldly, hung the gun on the horse's back, took off the strong bow, twisted the bow and arrow, and shot an arrow in the direction of Na Moba.

Mo Baudan saw the cold light flashing in front of him, his heart was cold, and he hurriedly dodged sideways, the cold arrow cluster flew past his ears, and the whistling sound of the arrow cluster tearing the air made his eardrums hurt, frowned and looked at the place where the arrow cluster flew out, took a deep breath, hung up the strong bow, raised the mace on horseback, and pointed at Zhang Xiu from afar.

Zhang Xiu sneered, and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Xu Rong with his eyes, and looked at the bald law and said: "Go to the Jin head people, these people are provoking you." ”

Qu Jin Bald Law glanced at Zhang Xiu suspiciously, and said with a wry smile: "This person is the first warrior of the Moba tribe under the command of Kebineng, he is very brave, and no one in our tribes can fight with him." ”

"It's unknown whether you can fight it, but you don't even have the courage to make a move? Moreover, since one can't be defeated, you can send a few more people, this is a battle between the two armies, not a brawl, there is not so much to say. Xu Rong shook his head and said.

"But according to the rules of our Xianbei people......" went to Jin to explain, but was interrupted by Xu Rong.

"Didn't the head man always want to be a Han man? If you want to be a Han Chinese, you can no longer talk about the rules of the Huns. ”

"Yes!" Thinking about it, he immediately discussed it with several other tribes, and each of the four tribes sent warriors to meet it.

Mo Ba originally wanted to fight the Han people who shot arrows, but he didn't expect four Xianbei warriors to run out, which made him slightly stunned, and then reacted, and snorted angrily, Pegasus caught up!
