Chapter 353: Zhang Liao raids Xianbei and is heavy
The northern boundary of Qiangyin County.
"There was a big war here back then, and because of the incompetence of Helian, Ke Ji, Que Ju, etc., I Xianbei Erlang buried 100,000 bones. Now I have come to refresh the army, and it can be regarded as avenging them. ”
Tens of thousands of Xianbei cavalry finally set foot on the territory of Qiangyin. Micah lamented the Great War that had taken place here a few years earlier.
"This is the Han people's Qiangyin County, there is a pass in the southernmost part of Qiangyin County called Yanmen Pass, I don't know if Liu Fan has built a strong Yanmen Pass in the past few years." Sully spoke.
"Yanmen Pass does not have terrain, no matter how strong it is, it will not be able to face our army. There is more than one pass to enter Yanmen, and I am thinking about whether the soldiers can enter the pass together in two ways, so that the main forces of the Han army can be dispersed. The head of the head said with a frown.
A few years ago, he heard that the Tuoba Department, under the leadership of Tuoba Hindrance, was following this deep into the strong yin, but was ambushed by the Han army between the canyons, and there were 10,000 troops, and none of them survived.
Liu Fan is also famous for the grassland from that battle.
Although nomads are not good at scheming, they will still be cautious when they have learned from the past.
"Divide the troops! The division of troops is a move to weaken one's strength, and it is inevitable that there will be some foresight. "Micah does not recommend dividing the troops, it is better to gather 80,000 troops and push them through like a decay.
"Ladies and gentlemen, look at this map. This is the place where the Tuoba Department drank hatred back then, it was very steep, if the Han army was stationed here, our army would be difficult to capture for a while. If a marshal bypasses from Zhuwen Zenan, there is a Woyang Pass, and the sons and daughters will take the Woyang Pass with all their might, and take the lead in entering the Yanmen Gate. If the main army has not yet entered Yanmen, you can lead your troops to go around the rear of Yanmen Pass and attack the Han army on both sides with the army. ”
The head took out the map, pointed and said to Que Ji, Su Li, and Miga.
The map, which was bought at great cost from Han Chinese merchants, was not as clear as the official map, but it also saved them many detours.
"I am willing to lead my sons to attack Woyang. After breaking Woyang, he catered to the army and entered the customs. Que Ji's eyes flickered, and he said with self-recommendation.
"Well, Brother Que must act according to the plan at that time, and don't make your own decisions. Liu Fan can turn decay into magic, and there must be no slackness. If our army enters the Yanmen Pass under the guidance of Brother Que and kills Liu Fan, in terms of distributing benefits, I agree with Brother Que to have one more percent. The head nodded and said, promising benefits for Que Ji, as if stabilizing Que Ji's heart.
Suli was not convinced, and was about to open his mouth to stop it, but was stopped by Micah next to him and gave him a look.
Only then did Sully calm down.
"Haha...... Rest assured! ”
Que Ji laughed and rode away.
A quarter of an hour later, Que Ji integrated 15,000 cavalry under his command and prepared to go around from Zhuwen Zenan to Woyang.
When the rolling cavalry left, Kuitou, Su Li and others led the army to press slowly south.
An army of 80,000 cavalry, after Que Ji took away 15,000 cavalry under his command, there should be 65,000 cavalry.
But there are only about 30,000 riders left.
"Que Ji is both reckless and arrogant. It is difficult to achieve great things with him, and his attack on Woyang will definitely attract a Han army. Just create an opportunity for our army. The head said to Sully.
"Yes, bringing that brave and unscrupulous reckless man will only drag us down." Su Li suddenly clapped his hands and said happily.
There are only 15,000 people in Que Ji, and if the Han army is seriously armed, he will definitely hit his head there and bleed.
Que Ji only looks at the immediate benefits, and does not consider the consequences.
"Report ...... Tell the commander that a group of Han cavalry of about 5,000 people in the rear is breaking through to the camp of our army's cattle, sheep and livestock, wantonly slaughtering our army's livestock, and trying to deprive our army of food. A Xianbei cavalryman rushed to the three of Kuitou, Micah, and Suli.
"Hahaha......"
When Kuitou, Suli, and Micah heard this, they were not surprised and rejoiced, and laughed.
"Brother Kui is really like a god!" Su Li said to the head with admiration.
"I already knew the tricks of the Han army. Ordered the army to turn around. Then he ordered the 30,000 cavalry in ambush to surround the Han army on three sides. Annihilate these 5,000 cavalry first, and then our army will go south, and we will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. The leader commanded his command.
……
At the moment of Pingdan, Zhang Liao explored the place where Xianbei grain and grass were heavy. And it was learned that only two thousand cavalry were guarded.
The situation is urgent for oneself, and if one does not take risks, the crisis will envelop the entire Yanmen.
Kill Xianbei's livestock, burn Xianbei's forage, cut off Xianbei's grain and grass, and cause them to panic, so that they have a chance of winning.
5,000 soldiers of the Han Army, everyone dared to counterattack the enemy.
Before dawn, Zhang Liao took out meat to feed the whole army and boost morale.
"The general is on an expedition, and by the time his rescuers come back, the enemy will surely have broken through us. Today, the Xianbei army is heading south, and its scale is like the ancient battle of Yanmen, a monstrous achievement, waiting for us. Xianbei livestock is grain and grass, as long as these livestock are killed, they can break the enemy's sharpness, chaos the enemy's heart, and the heart of peace. The opportunity for success or failure, in this battle, Li Mu's work is in front of him. Kill! ”
Zhang Liao was held by a halberd and shouted loudly to boost the morale of the army.
After he gave the order, he stepped on a fast horse and led the army to rush to the gathering place of Xianbei cattle and sheep hundreds of miles away.
When he was only five miles away from the Xianbei baggage land, Zhang Liao ordered a change of war horse. Leaving the tired horse, one person and one horse galloped in, and Zhang Liao took the lead.
The sound of the Han army's horses' hooves frightened the Xianbei people who drove their livestock and the Xianbei cavalry who guarded the livestock.
The leader of a small Xianbei tribe blocked the troops, and 2,000 Xianbei cavalry lined up in the front formation, suddenly attacking the 5,000 Han army.
They knew that they were bait, and they only needed to resist the Han army for a moment, and this group of Han soldiers would definitely die.
"I am the great Han Zhonglang general Zhang Liao is also, those who commit Huaxia will be killed!"
Zhang Liao shouted his name, held a crescent halberd, rode first, directly attacked the enemy formation, and landed Chen first.
Zhang Liao is not known for his art of war, but for his courage and boldness.
Xianbei Qianchang rushed with a knife, wanting to use the impact to cut off Zhang Liao's head, but his ability was limited, and he was instead swept away by Zhang Liao's halberd.
Then Zhang Liao broke into the Xianbei formation, killed left and right, and killed dozens of Xianbei soldiers with his own hands.
Zhang Liao was invincible, until the leader of the Xianbei tribe was not far away.
"This person is one of the five tiger generals? So brave? ”
The Xianbei leader was shocked when he saw this, and his subordinates were at a loss and didn't know what to do.
Hoping that his subordinates were rushed by the Han army, Zhang Liao and Zhang Liao gathered their guards and killed him.
The leader of Xianbei hurriedly rode his horse and led the guards to climb the high hill.
There were hundreds of people around him, holding bows and arrows, to prevent Zhang Liao from rushing over.
When Zhang Liao saw that the enemy leader was retreating, he scolded him and provoked him to come down to fight, but the Xianbei leader was afraid and did not dare to move.
Zhang Liao did not forget the purpose of his sudden attack, and some of the soldiers continued to attack the enemy, and some went to chase and kill Xianbei cattle, sheep and livestock.
Those Xianbei people were all old and weak, women and children, and had no fighting power, so they could only scatter and flee, allowing the Han army to slaughter livestock and set fire to forage.
There are more than 100,000 cattle and sheep in Xianbei, and the slaughter is very difficult. And ride a horse to catch up.
In half an hour, less than a third of them were killed.
Suddenly, there was a burst of dust on the north, east, and west sides of the battlefield, accompanied by a loud rumbling sound......
