Chapter 449: Night Attack on Xianbei Wolf Rush
The surrendered city, located in the north of the Great Wall, northwest of Gaoque Pass in Shuofang County, is built in the sixth year of the former Han Wu Emperor Yuanfeng, at the beginning of the Han Dynasty to accept the surrender of the Xiongnu Zuo Commander, and built by Gongsun Ao, it is the only one in the Han Dynasty that really built the "surrendered city" to accept the surrender of the enemy.
However, because the surrendered city was built outside the fortress, there is no doubt that it is a lonely city outside the fortress, even though it was built with abnormal strength, but there is no reasonable defense in depth, so it is sometimes occupied by the Han and Hungarian sides, and it has changed hands repeatedly.
Since the current dynasty when Dou Xian drove the Northern Xiongnu in the north, "Yan Ran Leming", the grassland was occupied by the Xianbei who took advantage of the weakness, and the Han Dynasty was dragged down by the Qiang Rebellion in the northwest and the Xianbei in the northeast, which eventually led to the Xianbei outside the Great Wall, and there was no Han land.
Today, this surrendered city is now occupied by Xianbei, because its location belongs to the western Xianbei range, so now it is the western Xianbei soldiers and horses stationed in the city.
The night is deep, the stars are dotted, the sky above the surrendered city is as black as ink, the bright moon is like cool water, hanging high above the night sky, Fuquan led more than a dozen horsemen to lurk outside the surrendered city, and more than 20,000 iron horsemen under his command are waiting for ten miles away in the rear at this moment.
Probably because the Xianbei people did not get the news that the Han army had left the fortress, or they would not believe that the Han people would not dare to go out of the fortress to fight Xianbei even if they killed their former leader Tan Shihuai, so there were not many Xianbei scouts who were surrendered to patrol outside the city, so that the Han army under the command of Fuquan could easily go outside the city without being discovered.
Running forward for several miles, jumping up the hillside, Fuquan and others had a clear view of the surrendered city. The city is high and deep, majestic, majestic, stretching for several miles, and the surrendered city cannot match these words, and the dilapidated low wall is enough to describe its desolation.
Think about it, the surrendered city fell into the hands of Xianbei for more than ten years, and the grassland people were born nomadic, so they would not have built a city, so it would be good if they could not destroy the city.
Looking at the brightly lit surrendered city in front, because it is located in a part of the Mobei grassland, surrounded by vast grasslands, so compared with the dilapidated city wall, the prosperity and liveliness outside the city are extremely incongruous with it.
Outside the city weeds are flourishing, tents, huts are all over, there are tens of thousands of people all over the city, even if the night is dark now, but by the moonlight, you can still see that there are many women and slaves are still busy, want to come to the north of the desert, the whole surrendered city is like a plug with a pearl, Xianbei is an excellent place of pleasure.
The entire surrendered city, in addition to the city that has obviously fallen into disrepair, that is, a simple fence built by Xianbei himself outside the city still seems to have some defensive power.
I saw that it stretched for several miles, and from time to time there were Xianbei sergeants patrolling it, but they seemed to be quite careless, no matter the leader of the soldiers, they were all talking to each other, sometimes laughing, and they patrolled only in the fence, and there were only a few Xianbei rangers outside the fence, but they would not patrol far. All of them looked like they didn't know that the catastrophe was coming, otherwise, if the Xianbei people were a little cautious, even if they couldn't find the Han army in the distance, they would at least find Fuquan and the others who were observing at the moment.
These Xianbei people have been comfortable in the hometown of the Xiongnu in Mobei for more than ten years, the territory is boundless, and all the tribes have surrendered, even if the former leader Tan Shihuai died in Youzhou of the Han State, but still did not let them take the Han State that was repeatedly defeated by them in the previous time to heart, even if the surrendered city was very close to the Han State and the state, they only sent people to pay attention to the situation on the three sides of the Han State.
The spies in the Han State came to report that in addition to the Qiang rebellion in Liangzhou, the Han State was sent by the Han Emperor to put down the rebellion, and the other two places where the Han State could attack Xianbei were not Han troops.
In addition, the current Xianbei leader and company continue to recruit soldiers and horses from all over the country, preparing to attack and support the tribes of Kuitou and Budugen, resulting in the attention of the Xianbei people in the far northeast of the Great Xianbei Mountain, so at this moment, the Xianbei people defending the city, even if they have recruited many young knights, but their vigilance against the possibility of being attacked in the surrendered city is still very weak, otherwise it will not let the Han army touch under their noses and not know it.
"General, Xianbei is not well prepared, just when the night is attacking." Duan Cheng didn't put any seniority on the shelf at the moment, and suggested to Fu that as a veteran, he naturally knew that he had to respect Shangguan at this moment, after all, this was not peacetime, but on the battlefield, even if Fu Quan's age and seniority were younger than him, but Fu Quan was the main general, so he had to call him "General".
Fu Quan glanced at the old general who had been arranging against himself all the way in surprise, then nodded and agreed: "What Duan Gong said is extremely true, and Gu also has this intention. Then, he turned his head to look at Jia Xu beside him and asked, "Can Wen He object?" "Since Jia Xu is by his side, it is undoubtedly a waste for Fuquan not to use this art of war at this moment.
Over there, Jia Xu nodded and praised the same: "However, at this time, the night attack will win." ”
Then, everyone quietly turned around and slowly walked back to the Han army formation, and a lot of time had passed, seeing that the Xianbei people were still noisy, and the Han and Qiang cavalry who had rushed here were also rested, waiting for the commander to order, ready to swing the bloody sword in their hands at the enemy.
Pulling out the long sword at his waist with his right hand, the cold light was so dazzling in Fu Quan's eyes, and the sound of copper and iron rubbing made him feel so pleasant, all the Han and Qiang cavalry soldiers followed and took out the weapons in their hands, only to see the cold light of the blades in their hands flickering.
Fu Quan looked at the surrendered city in the distance and the Xianbei tribe outside the city, his eyes were instantly cold, and he shouted: "Since the rise of Xianbei Tanshi Huai, invaded our Han realm, the people on the three sides have been killed, and the women and children of the Han family have killed countless people. ”
"Kill!"
Nearly 8,000 cavalry of the Han army shouted in unison, and the Qiang iron cavalry with more than 10,000 horsemen left in the shock, and many of them had numb scalps. Many of these iron horsemen have just been slaughtered by the Han army, and then assigned by the Han army to other surrendered tribes, and at this moment they were sent by other surrendered tribes to the rebels as servants, and hearing the voice of the Han army at this moment naturally evoked their previous nightmares, but fortunately, they were already Han soldiers at this moment.
Seeing that his morale had risen, Fu Quan didn't say much, and directly waved the long sword in his right hand, and as the long sword fell, he continued to shout: "All the kings listen to the order, Xianbei dares to resist, regardless of men, women, old or weak, kill them!" All the plundered will be given to the armies! Women's Take! After a pause, Fu Quan continued to shout: "Kill with me!" The Han army is mighty! ”
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"The Han army is mighty!"
"Mighty! Mighty! ”
……
The earth was suddenly ignited by the Han and Qiang cavalry, and the sound of the surrounding transmission was boiling, and Fu Quan, Duan Cheng and others led more than 100 people to watch the battle of the surrendered city in front of them from a distance behind the battle.
Originally, the original intention of Fuquan was to enter the usual situation, first lead the troops to rush, and then stop at a shallow taste, and then watch the battle behind the battle. It's just that with such an experienced veteran as Duan Cheng by his side, he was clearly confined to the rear by the old guy, according to his words, on the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, the main general only needs to take the rear to supervise the formation, and everything will be handed over to the commander to rush and kill the general, only when it is absolutely necessary, the main general needs to take the lead, and now, it is obviously not that time.
I saw that the generals of the Han army, led by Guan Yu and Huang Zhong, led their own troops to charge, all of them were fast horses, leading the generals under their command, and went straight away. At this moment, the nearly 20,000 Han and Qiang knights of the Han army are all elites with excellent willpower selected after the elimination of the harsh environment in Monan, plus the nearly 8,000 Han knights under the command of Fuquan, they are the elite of the elite soldiers from all over the world drawn by the Great Han Kingdom, and the combat power must be not small.
The tens of thousands of Xianbei people outside the surrendered city, in the eyes of the Han army at this time, were tens of thousands of sheep, and the Han army, which was relatively small, did not have the slightest fear of them, but followed the main Korean Beiren with red eyes and strong desire.
On the ground, the sound of tens of thousands of iron hooves running was instantly remembered, and outside the surrendered city in the distance, when Fuquan shouted, the Xianbei people already felt wrong, but because their tents themselves were very noisy, they didn't care too much.
However, under the charge and killing of the Han army's iron cavalry, the sound of tens of thousands of iron hooves vibrating directly woke up those who were still in Xianbei, and they were restless and went back to their respective camps to find weapons.
However, many people will die if they are one step slower, not to mention that these Xianbei people are more than one step slower. Directly under the leadership of Guan and Huang, the Han cavalry shouted and crashed into the Xianbei garrison, and the mile-long fence could not withstand the impact of the cavalry at all, and collapsed under the collision of the Han army.
After entering the Xianbei village, the Han army did not stop in the slightest, cut in easily, raised the butcher's knife one after another, and cut down the Xianbei people in front of him, and a feast of killing began. Seeing the scenery outside the Xianbei village today, the experienced Han army ran all the way, holding torches high, igniting everywhere, and the flames spread from the periphery of the surrendered city, and the tents withered grass, "trying" to support the growth of the flames.
When the weather is dry and dry, it seems that there is a little spark, and the momentum of the prairie can be burned, and in the Xianbei camp, the fire is suddenly blazing, and the fire is soaring to the sky, reflecting the hideous faces of the Han cavalry and merchants. The surrendered city began to fall into turmoil, from the outside and inside, the Xianbei people who had been comfortable for a long time were suddenly attacked by Fuquan today, most of them panicked, ran and fled, not even a weapon, among them, only a few Xianbei soldiers who had already felt the arrival of cavalry, found weapons in their hands, and resisted on the spot.
The Han army fought surprisingly smoothly, they roared, charged through, and killed all the people who stood in the way along the way, daring to have more than three or five people, who gathered together to block, they were all targeted by the Han army, and they were killed together. For the Xianbei people who are scattered, the Han army doesn't care at all, and for the Han army at this moment, what they want is this effect, which is the effect of this chaos and disorder, which makes the Xianbei people run around.
If you look at it from the night, you can see the Xianbei tribes on the land sparkling one after another, and countless old and weak women and children are frightened by this, and they have scattered and fled, and some of them have gone to bed early and are wearing single clothes at the moment. If there are scattered Xianbei people who dare to snatch horses and find weapons to resist, then they will definitely be crushed by the Han army with a small team of several people, scattering and galloping, purposefully looking for targets to kill.
However, although the Han army had already prepared and had a clear battle plan, let the Xianbei women and children escape, and then concentrate their forces to eliminate those Xianbei young men with combat effectiveness, but the Xianbei people outside the surrendered city were not vegetarians, even if the Han army no matter how to create chaos and annihilate the living forces, it still allowed the Xianbei people outside the city to gather five small-scale cavalry units to engage the Han army.
After all, the Xianbei people who can gather here are certainly not comparable to other small tribes, although because of Helian, many people were transferred, but they also left thousands of soldiers and horses to guard the military important place of the surrendered city. After a riot, these Xianbei people who have dominated the grassland finally woke up, they will not let others bully like this, many Xianbei people who reacted began to look for horses and weapons, and fought with the cavalry that the Han army came to disperse, and then slowly gathered with each other and resisted independently.
Although they have five relatively large-scale troops assembled at the moment, it is not a big problem for the Han army, because they have few people after all, these five Xianbei cavalry are only a few hundred people, and the total is more than a thousand cavalry, which is nothing to the Han army scattered in the tribes outside the surrendered city at this moment, as long as the Han army gathers and attacks them, the fate of these Xianbei rebels will be only one.
"Strange! Weird! Seeing this, Duan Cheng kept shaking his head and muttering to himself.
"What happened to Duan Gong? How so? Seeing this, Fu Quan asked suspiciously, the other party was an old general, and he must have seen something unusual.
"Hui general, the last general has led the army for many years, although he has not fought much with Xianbei, but he also knows that his army is real and real, with the scale of tens of thousands of Xianbei people outside the surrendered city, he only gathered less than 2,000 horsemen, which is really different."
"Huh?" After hearing this, Fu Quan's brows furrowed, looking at the Xianbei tribe outside the surrendered city, and soon he also discovered that Duan Cheng's Xianbei people were abnormal.
Observing the Xianbei people's defense before, they didn't care too much about the number of old and weak women and children in their army, but now they look at it, tens of thousands of Xianbei people outside the city, there are only about 5,000 people who can really fight in battle, and the others are almost all old and weak women and children, although there are also some Xianbei women who pick up weapons and join the camp of Xianbei rebels, but this is not at all the war potential that a normal grassland tribe should launch.
Obviously, these Xianbei tribes have been transferred a lot of young and strong, no wonder the war went so smoothly, it turned out that they were all weak brigades of Xianbei soldiers and horses, plus sneak attacks, this is why the night attack of the Han army is so smooth. Also, this Xianbei tribe is only about 5,000 people, and it was rushed by the Han army, scattered and expelled and cut off, and most of the young people who resisted were lost at once, and now more than 1,000 people can be gathered, which has fully demonstrated the military quality of the Xianbei soldiers and horses outside the surrendered city.
It's just that where did those Xianbei people who were transferred go? Where is it now? All of a sudden, it became a hidden worry in Fuquan's heart.
