Liu Ji listened to the analysis of Li Ru, the military division of the Western Xinjiang Army, and couldn't help but nodded, since the Qiang and Lano tribes dared to send troops to aid the White Lotus Army, then they would definitely not have any fear of the Han army, if the Han army first attacked the four princes of the Zhou State, the Qiang and Lano tribes were likely to take the opportunity to attack the Han army.

Liu Ji then said categorically: "Then according to the original plan, fight the White Lotus Army first!" ”

On December 10 of the 2nd year of the Han Dynasty, the Han army was divided into three routes and launched an attack on Xuanzhou, Jizhou and Yuanzhou controlled by the White Lotus Army.

While organizing the army and recruiting the young men of each city to resist the attack of the Han army, the White Lotus Army urged the armies of the Qiang and Lano tribes to enter the area controlled by the White Lotus Army as soon as possible to help the White Lotus Army resist the Han army.

However, when the armies of the Qiang and Lano tribes entered Raozhou and Hongzhou controlled by the White Lotus Army respectively, Jizhou and Yuanzhou controlled by the White Lotus Army had all fallen into the hands of the Han army, and even Xuanzhou, the key defense point of the White Lotus Army, had fallen to most of them, and the total strength of the White Lotus Army had dropped from more than three million to less than two million.

When the Han army learned that the armies of the Diqiang and Lano tribes had walked out of the million-strong mountain, they immediately slowed down the offensive against the White Lotus Army, and the armies of the Diqiang and Lano tribes took this opportunity to join the main force of the White Lotus Army in Huai'an City in Xuanzhou.

On the evening of January 3, the 3rd year of the Han Dynasty, in the state pastor's mansion in Huai'an City, Xuanzhou, Zhou State, Yang Sen, the commander of the White Lotus Army, raised his glass and said to Lou Qi, the general of the Qiang tribe, and Bei Guoche, the general of the Rango tribe, and said: "Thanks to the two generals who came in time with the troops of the Qiang and Lano tribes, otherwise our White Lotus Army could only abandon Huai'an City and retreat to Raozhou or Hongzhou. ”

Lou Qi, the general engineer of the Qiang tribe, waved his hand and said: "General Yang, it doesn't matter if you are grateful or not, after our two armies help your White Lotus Army and defeat the Han army, I hope that General Yang can keep his promise and hand over Yonghe County, Yuanyang County and Matang County in Raozhou to our two clans." ”

Yang Sen hurriedly nodded and said, "General Gonglou, rest assured, our White Lotus Army will definitely keep its promise." ”

At this time, Bei Guoche, the general of the Lano tribe, asked: "General Yang, next, our two armies are preparing to start a decisive battle with the Han army outside Huai'an City, I don't know how many troops your White Lotus Army can send to participate in this decisive battle?" ”

Yang Sen hesitated for a moment and said: "The previous confrontation with the Han army made our White Lotus Army lose more than one million troops and one and a half million young people, and now our White Lotus Army has only gathered about 1.2 million troops and 700,000 young people here in Huai'an City. ”

Bei Guo Che, the great general of the Lano tribe, and Lou Qi, the general of the Qiang tribe, immediately looked at each other, and then Bei Guo Che nodded slowly and said: "Our two clans have gathered a total of about 6.2 million troops this time, plus the 1.3 million people of the White Lotus Army, which is enough to defeat the main force of the Han army that invaded Xuanzhou!" ”

The armies of the Diqiang and Lano tribes both sent about 100,000 more troops than they had promised before.

On January 6, the 3rd year of the Han Dynasty, the millions of troops of the Han Dynasty, under the leadership of the Han Emperor Liu Ji, came to the outside of Huai'an, the capital of Xuanzhou Prefecture.

In front of the formation of the Qiang tribe, the Lano tribe and the White Lotus Army, Lou Qi, the general engineer of the Qiang tribe, turned his head and said to a general of the Qiang tribe behind him: "Gu Liangke, go to the front of the two armies, let the Han people see how powerful our Qiang warriors are!" ”

At this time, Yang Sen, the commander of the White Lotus Army, said: "General Gonglou, the fierce generals in the Han army are like clouds, our White Lotus Army and the Han army have fought generals, but they have not won a single battle, the warriors of the Qiang tribe, it is best to be careful." ”

The corners of Lou Qi's mouth twitched slightly, ignoring Yang Sen's kindness, but said with some contempt: "General Yang, our warriors of the Qiang tribe are not those wine bags and rice bags under your hands, today General Yang should also have a good look at the strength of our Qiang warriors!" ”

The face of Yang Sen, the commander of the White Lotus Army, suddenly became gloomy, "That commander will have a good look at the demeanor of the warriors of the Qiang tribe today!" ”

Gu Liangke, the general of the Qiang tribe, came to the front of the two armies and shouted loudly: "Gu Liangke of the Qiang tribe is here!" The Han army quickly sent people up to send them to death! ”

In front of the Han army, Liu Ji saw that there were generals of the Qiang tribe who were going to fight with the Han army, and he couldn't help but show a smile, turned his head and said to Zhang Shaohua: "Big Bear, it's time for you to show your face again!" ”

Liu Ji learned through the scanning function of the system that this Qiang general named Gu Liangke had a force value of only 98 points, and he had not yet entered the realm of peerless generals.

When Zhang Shaohua heard that Liu Ji asked him to fight, he couldn't help but say excitedly: "It's still Your Majesty to me!" ”

After Zhang Shaohua came to the front of the two armies, it only took four rounds to split the fierce general of the Diqiang tribe named Gu Liangke in half with a knife.

Subsequently, Lou Qi, the angry general of the Qiang tribe, sent three fierce generals of the Qiang tribe one after another, but none of them could go through five rounds under Zhang Shaohua's hands.

Just when Gong Lou Qi was about to go into battle in person, Bei Guo Che, the general of the Lano tribe, said: "General Gong Lou, let's send someone from our Lano tribe to meet this Han general for a while!" ”

Gong Lou Qi had a gloomy face, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded with difficulty, in fact, Gong Lou Qi saw Zhang Shaohua's strength, and knew that he would go up in person, and he should not be the opponent of this Han general.

Bei Guoche, the general of the Lano tribe, then sent three fierce generals of the Lano tribe in a row, but all of them died under Zhang Shaohua's knife without exception, and there is still no fierce general of the Lano tribe who can go through five rounds under Zhang Shaohua's hands.

Yang Sen, the commander of the White Lotus Army, coughed and said, "General Gonglou and General Beiguo, let's just let the troops attack!" If this fight continues, the morale of our side will be lower and lower! ”

When Gong Louqi and Beiguo Che heard Yang Sen's proposal, they could only reluctantly agree, and then the Qiang tribe, the Lano tribe and the White Lotus Army all sent some troops and took the initiative to attack the Han army.

The armies of the Diqiang and Lano tribes are indeed not weak in combat effectiveness, but the armies of these two tribes are far inferior to the Han army in terms of equipment and battle formations, and the Han army also occupies an absolute cavalry advantage.

The battle outside Huai'an on 6 January lasted from morning to evening before both sides withdrew their troops.

In today's war, the Qiang tribe lost 300,000 troops, the losses of the Lano tribe were similar, about 290,000, the White Lotus Army also lost nearly 100,000 troops, and the losses of the various troops on the Han side added up, and it did not exceed 40,000 people, it can be said that the first day of the battle between the two sides, the Han army won completely!

On 7 January, the two sides fought fiercely outside Huai'an for another day, and as a result, the Qiang, Lanuo, and White Lotus armies together lost more than 600,000 men, while the Han army lost more than 35,000 men.

On January 8, the Qiang, Lano and White Lotus armies lost another 500,000 men, and the losses of the Han army were kept below 30,000.

On 9 January, the Qiang, Lano and White Lotus armies together lost 400,000 men, while the Han army lost only more than 20,000 men.

After four days of fierce fighting, about 2.2 million people were lost, which made the arrogance of the Qiang and Lano tribes disappear without a trace, leaving only a deep fear of the Han army.

On the evening of January 9, in a tent in the camp of the White Lotus Army outside Huai'an, Lou Qi, the general engineer of the Qiang tribe, said to Yang Sen, the commander of the White Lotus Army, and Bei Guoche, the general of the Lano tribe, with a gloomy face: "We can't fight so hard anymore, in just four days, our Qiang people have lost nearly one million troops, but the losses of the Han army are not much, and if we fight like this for a few days, the more than three million Qiang warriors brought by this general will be wiped out by the Han army!" ”

Bei Guoche, the general of the Lano tribe, sighed and said: "In the past four days, our Lano tribe has lost more than 900,000, and we really can't fight with the Han army like this." ”

Yang Sen, the commander of the White Lotus Army, said bitterly: "In the past four days, our White Lotus Army has also lost almost 300,000 people, of which 200,000 are the elite under the command of this commander, and the recruited young men only account for 100,000, at present, our White Lotus Army only has one million troops and 600,000 young men left here in Huai'an City, and the Han army may lose more than 100,000 people in these four days, and it will definitely not exceed 200,000." ”

At this time, Guo Chong, the military advisor beside Yang Sen, opened his mouth and said: "The combat effectiveness of the Han cavalry troops is too strong, and there is a flat river outside Huai'an City, and it is reasonable for the combined forces of our three families to suffer such a large loss, so I think that the combined forces of our three families should give up field battles with the Han army outside Huai'an City." ”

Lou Qi, the general engineer of the Qiang tribe, shook his head and said: "Although the three of us have lost 2.2 million people combined, the current total strength of our three families is still close to six million, if you want to rely on Huai'an City to hold on, it is impossible, a small Huai'an City cannot hold nearly six million troops at all." ”

Military advisor Guo Chong said: "I am not asking our three coalition forces to retreat into Huai'an City, but suggesting that our three coalition forces abandon Huai'an City and retreat into Raozhou or Hongzhou, you must know that the terrain of Raozhou and Hongzhou, most of which is mountainous, will limit the combat effectiveness of the Han cavalry troops to a large extent." ”

As soon as the words of the military advisor Guo Chong fell, Yang Sen, the commander of the White Lotus Army, sighed and said: "It seems that Huai'an City and even Xuanzhou must be abandoned, I don't know what General Gonglou and General Beiguo think?" ”

The general Gong Lou Qi of the Qiang tribe and the general Bei Guo Che of the Lano tribe had no opinion on abandoning Huai'an City and the small half of Xuanzhou controlled by the White Lotus Army, but Gong Lou Qi and Beiguo Che both suggested that the three coalition forces had better retreat to the mountainous areas of Raozhou, after all, the mountainous areas of Raozhou were adjacent to the territories of the Qiang and Lano tribes.

So on the morning of January 10, the Qiang people, the Lano tribe and the White Lotus army began to retreat from Huai'an City, and the White Lotus Army left a small number of troops and 600,000 young men and women who had been temporarily conscripted in Huai'an City, hoping to rely on these 600,000 young men and women to take advantage of the city to block the Han army for a few days and buy some time for the retreating Qiang people, Lano tribe and White Lotus army.

When Liu Ji learned that the White Lotus Army and the armies of the Diqiang and Lano tribes were about to run, he immediately ordered the three elite troops of the Tiger Ben Army, the Xuanjia Army, and the Cowardly Xue Army, as well as several cavalry guards of the three major armies of Xijiang, Gaochang, and Xuanwu, to bypass Huai'an City and pursue the armies of the White Lotus Army, the Diqiang Tribe, and the Lano Tribe.

Liu Ji led other Han troops to launch a siege battle against Huai'an City, but what Liu Ji didn't expect was that before the siege began, a white flag was erected on the wall of Huai'an City.

After the withdrawal of the armies of the White Lotus Army, the Qiang Tribe, and the Lano Tribe, the fortified city of Huai'an, was captured by the Han army without bloodshed.

The armies of the White Lotus Army, the Diqiang Tribe, and the Lano Tribe, on the way to retreat, faced the pursuit of the Han cavalry troops, and had to leave the broken troops again and again to block the Han cavalry that was in pursuit.

When the White Lotus Army, the Qiang and Lano armies finally retreated to the mountains of Raozhou, the million White Lotus Army when they were evacuated from Huai'an City was less than 500,000 people.

At the time of the evacuation from Huai'an City, only about 1.3 million of the 2.1 million people of the Diqiang tribe remained, and less than 1.5 million of the 2.2 million people of the Lano tribe remained.

In the Tusi Mansion of Xing'er City of the Qiang Tribe, the Tusi of the Qiang Nationality Rida Danmu shouted angrily: "That waste of Gong Lou Qi has lost 1.8 million troops of our Qiang tribe at once, and the local division wants to cut off his head with his own hands!" ”

At this time, Di Gu Bu, another great general of the Qiang tribe, sighed and said: "Lord Tusi is angry, it is really the combat effectiveness of the Han army, far exceeding our expectations, General Gonglou should have no way to do this, I heard that the Lano tribe has also lost 1.6 million troops, and the White Lotus Army has only a few hundred thousand left." ”

Tusi Rida Danmu spat out a breath of turbidity, and then asked in a deep voice: "Di Gu Bu, do you think we should continue to fight with the Han army?" ”

The general Di Gu Bu pondered for a while and said: "Lord Tusi, our Qiang people have always coveted the Wanli Plain of the Zhou Kingdom, and now we finally have the opportunity to peep into the Wanli Plain of the Zhou Kingdom, our Diqiang people can't just give up so easily, and in the mountainous areas of Raozhou, the role that the Han cavalry can play should not be too big." ”
