Chapter 512: The Night Attack Succeeds
Wang Min, the right sage of the Wuheng clan, heard his father, Wuheng Heng Khan Shuerha let himself endure it, without any dissatisfied expression on his face, gritted his teeth and nodded: "Father Khan, I know the gap between our Wuheng clan and the Xianbei clan, I understand what to do!" ”
Wuheng Heng Khan Shuerha sighed and said: "Minsu, it's hard for you, if the Broken Army is in the grassland for a day, it will be difficult for our Wuheng clan to be stable, in order to drive the Broken Army out of the grassland, some things can only be endured." ”
At this time, Duo Klon, the right king of the Wuheng tribe, diverted the topic and asked Wuheng Heng Khan Shuerha: "Father Khan, there are only ten days left until June 1, I don't know how big the steppe alliance army can finally gather this time?" ”
Wuheng Heng Khan Shuerha stroked his beard with his right hand and said: "Now the total strength of the various ethnic armies that have come to our Wuheng Royal Court has exceeded six million, and I think there is absolutely no problem with more than nine million. ”
At the time of the alliance of the nine tribes, the Great Khan of the nine tribes agreed that the distribution of benefits after the war would be decided according to the actual number of troops sent by each tribe, which inevitably caused some ethnic groups to send some more cavalry troops, hoping to get more benefits in this war against the captive army.
For example, the Xianbei tribe gathered about 1.3 million cavalry, which is 300,000 more than the 1 million cavalry originally promised, and the Qiluo tribe, the Suxi tribe, the Yuzhen tribe, the Guhun tribe and the Ding Ling tribe attached to the Xianbei tribe also sent 700,000 cavalry, and counting the more than 300,000 cavalry sent by the eighteen small tribes attached to the Xianbei tribe, the number of troops in the hands of the Xianbei tribe alone is as high as 2.3 million.
Among the nine clans of the Nine Clans Alliance, in addition to the armies of the Xianbei tribe and the affiliated ethnic groups, which have arrived at the Wuheng Royal Court, the armies of the Khitan, Rouran, Donghu, Tiele and Karasuma tribes and their affiliated ethnic groups have also arrived at the Wuheng Royal Court.
The Khitan tribe only sent 1 million cavalry, but the Baitan, Limo, Yilou and Kulu tribes attached to the Khitan tribe gathered a total of 500,000 cavalry, and the 26 sub-tribes attached to the Khitan tribe also sent 400,000 cavalry together, making the number of troops that the Khitan tribe could control in the grassland alliance army reached 1.9 million.
A total of 600,000 troops of the Rouran and their subordinate ethnic groups came to the Wuheng royal court, the army of the Donghu tribe and its affiliated ethnic groups also sent 500,000 people, the army of Tiele and its affiliated ethnic groups sent 550,000 people, and the Karasuma tribe and its affiliated ethnic groups also gathered 450,000 troops and sent them to the Wuheng royal court.
If we count the 200,000 cavalry of the Wuheng tribe who are ready to join the grassland coalition army, and the 100,000 Shatuo cavalry who are attached to the Wuheng tribe, the total strength of the grassland coalition army currently gathered in the Wuheng royal court is as high as 6.6 million, not including the Xiongnu and Xirong tribes who have not arrived, as well as the cavalry troops sent by the subordinate ethnic groups of these two tribes.
With the strength of the Xiongnu and Xirong tribes, the number of troops sent this time will definitely exceed 2.4 million, so Wuheng Heng Khan Shuerha dares to believe that all the tribes in the grassland can definitely gather more than 9 million troops this time.
Youyi King Duokon sighed and said: "Gathering nine million troops, and they are all cavalry, this is something that has never happened in the grassland, as long as there is no accident, this time the captive army is doomed." ”
Wuheng Heng Khan Shuerha immediately said: "There will be no accidents, the grassland belongs to our various nomadic peoples, and the Broken Army and the Jin people should also get out of the grassland!" ”
The Wuheng Clan's Zuoyi King Duotuotai suddenly frowned and said: "Our tribes have made such a big move this time, it is very likely that the Broken Capture Army already knows that the coalition forces of our grassland tribes are about to crusade against it, and we have to guard against any conspiracy and tricks made by the Broken Tribe." ”
Wuheng Heng Khan Shuerha said indifferently: "In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is a floating cloud!" ”
In the entire grassland coalition army, basically the high-level of all ethnic groups have the same idea as Wuheng Heng Khan Shuerha, thinking that this time the grassland coalition army will crusade against the broken army, and the broken army will be defeated, and there is no power to return to the sky, but the broken army has given the high-level of all ethnic groups a blow to the head.
On the evening of May 15, a cavalry unit under the banner of the Yuemo tribe came to the vicinity of the Wuheng royal court, a nomadic people who were attached to the Xirong tribe and belonged to the third echelon in strength on the grassland.
Of course, this cavalry unit of 80,000 or 90,000 people is not the real cavalry of the Yue Mo tribe, but is dressed up by four elite cavalry units in the Broken Army.
The leader of the White Horse Congyi, Gao Chong, urged the horse to come to Liu Ji, "Lord, we have arrived near the Wuheng Royal Court, and it is almost impossible to get closer to the front, there is already a continuous Hu camp in front of us. ”
In order to allow the four elite cavalry units of the Tiger Ben Army, the Xuanjia Soldiers, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the White Horse Congyi to smoothly approach the Wuheng Royal Court, Liu Ji ordered to kill all the Hu people he encountered along the way, and even the three Wuheng tribes that passed by along the way were slaughtered by the four elite cavalry troops.
The armies of all the tribes in the grassland gathered in the Wuheng Royal Court did not expect that the Broken Army would dare to take the initiative to attack, which was also an important reason why the four elite cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army, the Xuanjia Soldiers, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the White Horse Congyi could successfully approach the Wuheng Royal Court.
Liu Ji rode on his war horse and let out a long breath and asked, "So, we have successfully come to the vicinity of the Wuheng Royal Court?" ”
Gao Zhong nodded and said, "That's true, lord, tonight our four cavalry troops can launch a night attack!" ”
Liu Ji touched his chin and said, "Let the soldiers immediately dismount and rest, pay attention to concealment, and the whole army will attack in two hours!" ”
In the middle of the night of May 15, Murong Ke, the Xianbei Great Khan, who was sleeping soundly in the felt bag, was suddenly awakened by the noise, and then a general of the Xianbei tribe rushed into the felt bag, "Great Khan, it's not good! A large number of broken army suddenly appeared on the periphery of the Wuheng Royal Court, and several heavy cavalry of the broken army had already entered the camp of our Xianbei tribe, and the camps of other tribes were also attacked by the cavalry of the broken army! ”
Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke frowned, "What are you panicking about!" Now that the various clans have gathered more than six million troops in the Wuheng Royal Court, what can the cavalry sent by the several broken army to sneak attack do to immediately convey the order of the Great Khan to annihilate the cavalry of the broken army that entered our Xianbei camp as soon as possible! ”
The Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke did not panic, but it didn't take long for the Xianbei general to rush into the felt bag where Murong Ke was, "Great Khan, come with me!" The Breakers actually set fire to the camp, and now the fire is out of control, and it is about to burn here! ”
"What's the point! Hurry up and protect Ben Khan from here! Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke roared with a gloomy face.
According to Liu Ji's order, the three heavy cavalry of the Tiger Army, the Xuanjia Soldiers, and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were responsible for rampage in the camp of the armies of the various tribes in the grassland, while Baima Congyi followed behind the three heavy cavalry and set fire, and Liu Ji was under the protection of Zhang Shaohua, Liu Meng, Xue Rengui and Di Qing, the four peerless generals, and fifty puppet bodyguards, outside the camp of the army of all ethnic groups in the grassland, cheering for the four elite cavalry of the Broken Army.
Lu Bu, the commander of the Tiger Army, directly divided the Tiger Army, which numbered more than 21,000 people, into seven shares, with more than 3,000 people each, like seven arrows, and plunged into the camp of the Xianbei tribe, and the Xianbei camp of 1.3 million people was stirred up by people on their horses, and the Xuanjia soldiers and the tiger and leopard cavalry respectively selected the camps of the Rouran tribe and the Donghu tribe as the first targets of the raid.
With the advance of the three heavy cavalry of the Tiger Army, the Xuanjia Soldiers, and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the camps of the allied forces of various ethnic groups in the grassland were in chaos, especially because of the white horse Congyi who followed the three heavy cavalry and set fire, so that the fire quickly spread throughout the Wuheng Royal Court......
At noon on May 15, in a huge felt bag in the Wuheng royal court, Murong Ke, the Great Khan of Xianbei, said with a gloomy face: "The loss of our Xianbei tribe last night is really too great, the casualties have reached at least 200,000, this is not counting the losses of those dependent nations, many warriors of the Xianbei tribe were either burned alive or trampled to death by their own people, this hatred of our Xianbei tribe must be returned a thousand times over!" ”
Originally, the Xianbei tribe sent 1.3 million Xianbei cavalry to participate in this war against the broken army, but now overnight, 1.3 million Xianbei cavalry lost 200,000, and the Qiluo tribe, the Suxi tribe, the Yuzhen tribe, the Guhun tribe, the Ding Ling tribe and the eighteen small tribes attached to the Xianbei tribe also lost almost 100,000 people last night, and the number of troops that the Xianbei tribe can control in the alliance of various tribes in the grassland has dropped to 2 million in an instant, which is as much as 300,000 less.
The Khitan Great Khan Yelu Lie shook his head bitterly and said: "I never thought that the Broken Army would dare to take the initiative to attack, our Khitan tribe also lost a lot last night, at least more than 100,000 people, and the Bai Tan, Limo and other tribes who are attached to our Khitan tribe, the losses must add up to about 100,000." ”
The Great Khan of the Rouran Clan, the Great Khan of the Donghu Clan, the Great Khan of the Donghu Clan, the Great Khan of the Tiele Clan, Jirimu, and the Great Khan of the Karasuma Clan, Zhao Nastu, also sighed one after another, and the four of them and their respective subordinate clans also lost a lot, adding up to more than 250,000.
In order to accommodate the armies of all ethnic groups, the Wuheng tribe handed over the grasslands around the royal court to the armies of all ethnic groups to set up camp, and the troops and tribes of the Wuheng tribe were surrounded by the camps of various ethnic groups in the middle, and as a result, several elite troops of the Broken Army last night, in order not to fall into the heavy encirclement of the Hu cavalry, did not advance too much into the interior of the Wuheng Royal Court, which made the more than 200,000 troops and 800,000 troops of the Wuheng tribe not attacked by several elite troops of the Broken Army last night.
Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke's face was still gloomy and he said: "In this way, the total losses of our various clans last night were about 750,000, it seems that this Great Khan still underestimated the Broken Army before!" ”
Khitan Khan Yelu Dilie frowned and said: "Even if our tribes lost 750,000 troops, it didn't hurt our tribes, but last night's fire burned a lot of materials stored by our tribes, such as our Khitan tribe, more than 60,000 felt bags were burned, and military food and livestock also suffered huge losses. ”
The Great Khan of the Rouran Clan followed and said: "Our Rouran Clan also burned a large amount of supplies last night, and the remaining materials and military rations are enough for our Rouran Clan's hundreds of thousands of soldiers for half a month. ”
Shuerha, the Great Khan of the Wuheng Clan, found that after Mu Gulu, the Great Khan of the Rouran Clan, turned his gaze to himself, so he shrugged his shoulders and said: "You don't have to expect how much military food our Wuheng Clan can provide, the situation of our Wuheng Clan, presumably all the Great Khans know that it is not easy to feed the Wuheng Clan's own army and tribesmen." ”
Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke said at this time: "You Great Khan don't worry, our Xianbei clan will send a large number of cattle, sheep and grain to the Wuheng Royal Court as soon as possible, and will never let the warriors of all clans go hungry." ”
The words of the Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke made everyone in the felt bag breathe a sigh of relief, and the Khitan Khan Yelu Enemy Lie immediately said: "As long as there is no shortage of food, our allied forces of all ethnic groups will definitely be able to drive the Broken Army out of the grassland!" ”
Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke pondered for a while and said: "Since the Broken Capture Army dares to take the initiative to attack, then our various ethnic groups must guard against the repetition of the Broken Capture Army's old tricks, and once again launch a sneak attack on the camp of our various ethnic groups. ”
At night, Liu Ji did not join the battle from beginning to end in the attack launched by the four elite cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army, the Xuanjia Soldiers, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and the White Horse Congyi, but Liu Ji absorbed nearly 700,000 soul points through this battle, so that the soul points in Liu Ji's hands reached a little more than 705,000, and most of the 750,000 people lost by the coalition army of various tribes in the grassland were killed.
There were more than 21,000 tiger soldiers who participated in this night attack, more than 16,000 Xuanjia soldiers, more than 24,000 tiger and leopard cavalry, and more than 26,000 people from Baima Congyi, and finally these four elite cavalry troops lost a total of almost 20,000 people, of which the tiger army lost more than 4,000 people, the Xuanjia soldiers also lost about 4,000 people, the tiger and leopard cavalry lost nearly 6,000 people, and the white horse Congyi also lost about 6,000 people.
Although at the cost of 20,000 people, it brought more than 700,000 losses to the coalition army of all ethnic groups in the grassland, which can be described as a great victory, but Liu Ji still felt a pain in his heart for the loss of 20,000 elites, and it was not easy for Liu Ji to accumulate elite soldiers of these systems.
This night attack on the Wuheng royal court, thanks to the defenseless armies of the various tribes in the grassland, can achieve such great results, but the army of the various tribes in the grassland is not a rabble after all, and there are still a lot of elite troops, which makes this night attack not so perfect.
