Chapter 525: A General Who Will Come

Just when the coalition army of the various tribes of the grassland and the broken army were in a stalemate in Qudeng City, the five cavalry brigades of the Western Regions Legion that went deep into the grassland, under the leadership of the commander Xue Rengui, captured a relatively large tribe of the Rouran tribe.

According to the usual practice, Xue Rengui sent someone to screen the women of the Rouran tribe and selected four beautiful women with good looks from them, and these four Rouran beauties, Xue Rengui did not want to keep them for himself, but was ready to send someone to send these four Rouran beauties back to the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate and present them to the lord Liu Ji.

Not only in this Rouran tribe, but also in the more than 20 tribes that Xue Rengui led his troops to capture, among which the outstanding, young and beautiful women were all collected by Xue Rengui, and then sent the soldiers of the Han Dynasty Tiger Ben Army of the guards to send these grassland beauties back to Qudeng City, the capital of Beiting.

It was not Liu Ji's order to help Liu Ji search for beauties, it was completely Xue Rengui's own idea, but Liu Ji really hoped that there would be more for a general like Xue Rengui.

And Di Qing, the commander of the cavalry unit of the Broken Army, who went all the way deep into the grassland, coincided with Xue Rengui, and also sent the stunning beauties among the captured tribes directly to Qudeng City in the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, and contributed it to the lord Liu Ji.

Of the many grassland beauties sent by Xue Rengui and Di Qing, Liu Ji just selected the stunning beauties with a charm value of more than 80 points and included them in his harem, as for the grassland beauties with a charm value of less than 80 points, they were rewarded by Liu Ji to the Wenchen generals under his command.

Liu Ji doesn't have to catch all the best quality beauties, it's just that Liu Ji has possessed these beauties with a charm value of more than eighty points, and he will get one or two groups of elite soldiers from the system, which is a big deal for the entire Broken Army, so Liu Ji has to reluctantly pocket a group of grassland beauties with the best quality.

With generals like Xue Rengui and Di Qing who have the strength and will do things, Liu Ji has already begun to consider adding more burdens to them, and the scale of the various legions of the Broken Army is really huge, and it is time to form some new legions.

On the evening of June 11, in a felt bag where the five cavalry brigades of the Western Regions Legion had captured the Rouran tribe, Xue Rengui said to the brigade commanders of the five cavalry brigades of the Western Regions Legion, Shi Wansui, Guan Ying, Yingbu, Long Ji and Zhang Xiu: "Since our soldiers and horses entered the grassland, we have captured more than 20 tribes, large and small, including the royal court of the Shatuo tribe, and the results of the battle can be described as quite hugeAt this rate, our cavalry will soon reach 500,000! ”

After the five cavalry brigades of the Western Regions Army entered the grassland, each tribe that captured the young and strong men who surrendered in this tribe was incorporated into the temporarily formed cavalry battalion, and some soldiers of the five cavalry brigades of the Western Regions Army were transferred to serve as the backbone of these temporarily formed cavalry battalions.

The slaves who were rescued from the tribe, if the men who could ride horses, were all incorporated by the five cavalry brigades of the Western Regions Legion, and the men who could not ride horses were also incorporated into the temporarily formed infantry units, among which a considerable number of the male slaves who could not ride horses were from the Jin Kingdom.

In order to ensure the mobility of the entire army, Xue Rengui did not let the temporarily formed infantry units move with the cavalry, but let these infantry units stay behind the various tribes that had been conquered, and take care of the old and young women and children of each tribe, as well as a large number of livestock and materials and other trophies.

As for whether these temporarily formed infantry units can hold the captured tribes one by one, Xue Rengui has no intention of caring at all, the 600,000 cavalry of the Xianbei tribe and the Khitan tribe and their affiliated nationalities have been chasing behind the butt of Xue Rengui's cavalry on the road in recent days, and they are getting closer and closer to the five cavalry brigades of the Western Regions Army and the twelve cavalry battalions that have been temporarily formed.

Of course, some important trophies, Xue Rengui secretly sent people to escort back to the territory of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, such as the many grassland beauties looted from various tribes, as well as gold and various treasures.

Shi Wansui, the brigade captain of the First Cavalry Brigade of the Western Regions Legion, frowned and said to Xue Rengui: "General Xue, although our strength has expanded a lot along the way, our combat effectiveness has not increased much, after all, the recruits who have joined our five cavalry brigades still need more run-in time, and those temporarily formed cavalry battalions, the combat effectiveness is even more worrying, is it appropriate for us to carry out such a large-scale expansion under the pursuit of hundreds of thousands of cavalry of the Hu Ren Alliance?" ”

Xue Rengui smiled and said: "The original total strength of our five cavalry brigades is only 200,000, plus the losses in the process of continuous battles, if we do not expand, our five cavalry brigades will only fight less and less, you must know that the cavalry sent by the Hu people alliance army to encircle and suppress our way, according to the information sent by Heishuitai, there are enough 600,000 people, if our five cavalry brigades are not expanded, they can only be chased by the cavalry of the 600,000 Hu people alliance army, where is there a chance to defeat them!" ”

Shi Wansui heard Xue Rengui's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly asked: "General Xue, do you mean that you are preparing to fight the cavalry of the 600,000 Hu people's coalition army?" ”

Xue Rengui nodded and said: "The 600,000 cavalry of the Hu people alliance army has been closely following our five cavalry brigades and twelve temporary cavalry battalions in recent days, and several tribes that have been captured by us, including the royal court of the Shatuo tribe, have been reoccupied by the Hu people's alliance army, if we don't solve these 600,000 Hu people's cavalry, most of the trophies we have obtained will be quickly recaptured by the Hu people's alliance army!" ”

The brigade lieutenant of the Second Cavalry Brigade of the Western Regions Legion said excitedly: "General Xue is wise! Guan Ying has long wanted to lead his troops to compete with the 600,000 Hu cavalry chasing us, and we can't always let the Hu cavalry chase after us! ”

At this time, the brigade captain of the Third Cavalry Brigade of the Western Regions Legion Yingbu frowned and said: "General Xue, although our five cavalry brigades have reached 300,000 people at present, and counting the twelve cavalry battalions that have been temporarily formed, that is, more than 420,000, but in the face of the 600,000 cavalry of the Hu Ren coalition army, are we sure of victory?" ”

Xue Rengui rubbed his hands and said, "After all, we have to give it a try!" 420,000 against 600,000, there is still a chance to win! ”

The brigade commander of the Fourth Cavalry Brigade of the Western Regions Legion immediately asked Xue Rengui: "General Xue, the Rouran tribe we just captured, are the wives and daughters of those nobles and generals still treated as before?" ”

Xue Rengui said with a smile: "Deal with it as usual!" I have already sent someone to pick out four beautiful women with good looks and prepare to send them back to the lord, as for the wives and daughters of other nobles and generals of this tribe, everyone may wish to enjoy them if they are interested, the lord eats meat, and the brothers have to drink soup with them! ”

Xue Rengui's words made the five brigade captains of the Western Regions Legion laugh heartily, the Broken Army slaughtered the nobles and army generals of the various tribes they conquered, and the beauties of all ethnic groups in the grassland that Xue Rengui dedicated to Liu Ji were basically the wives and daughters of the nobles and generals of various tribes, after all, beauty is also a scarce resource, which is always in the hands of those who have power.

Even if the generals are summoned from the system, they are no different from normal people, they also have seven emotions and six desires, and it is normal to enjoy the wives and daughters of the vanquished.

Zhang Xiu, the brigade commander of the Fourth Cavalry Brigade of the Western Regions Legion, asked Xue Rengui again: "General Xue, when will we launch an attack on the pursuers?" Are the young men among the prisoners of war and slaves of this Rouran tribe still incorporated into our five cavalry brigades and twelve provisional cavalry battalions? ”

Xue Rengui hesitated for a moment and said: "According to the scout's report, the cavalry of the 600,000 Hu people coalition army seems to be not far away from us, if we don't continue to advance north tomorrow, maybe the 600,000 Hu cavalry will be able to catch up with us in the morning, or don't take in the prisoners of war and young slaves of this Rouran tribe first, it should be too late." ”

Shi Wansui followed up and asked, "General Xue, what kind of tactics do we adopt to engage the pursuers of the Hu Ren Alliance?" ”

Xue Rengui smiled slightly and said: "Judging from the reaction of the scouts, the commander of the 600,000 Hu cavalry is also a cautious person, and tactics such as sneak attacks don't need to be considered, we can only defeat these 600,000 Hu cavalry in a head-to-head duel." ”

Early in the morning of 12 June, Xue Rengui led the five cavalry brigades of the Western Regions Army and the 12 cavalry battalions that had been temporarily formed, and directly turned around to meet the 600,000 Hu allied cavalry that was pursuing them behind.

The Hu coalition army that pursued Xue Rengui's army along the way included 200,000 Xianbei cavalry and 100,000 cavalry of various ethnic groups affiliated with the Xianbei tribe, as well as 200,000 Khitan cavalry and 100,000 cavalry of various ethnic groups affiliated to the Khitan tribe.

Murong Cheng, the right virtuous king of the Xianbei tribe, is the second son of Murong Ke, the great Khan of the Xianbei tribe, and Yelujing, the left-righteous king of the Khitan tribe, is the eldest son of the Khitan Great Khan Yelu Dilie.

Murong Cheng, the right sage king of the Xianbei tribe, learned that the cavalry unit of the Broken Capture Army in front of him had turned around, and immediately smiled and said to Yelujing, the left king of the Khitan tribe: "This cavalry unit of the Broken Capture Army has finally been overwhelmed by us!" ”

Then Murong Cheng, the right sage king of the Xianbei clan, rubbed his hands and said: "This king has also been impatient for a while, today we will crush the cavalry of this broken army and avenge the suffering tribes!" ”

Yelujing, the king of Zuoyi of the Khitan tribe, immediately said in a deep voice: "We can't take it lightly, according to the news we got before, the cavalry force of this broken army has more than 200,000 people, and after they captured some tribes, they have incorporated a lot of young people of these tribes, and now the strength of this cavalry force of the broken army is likely to exceed 400,000!" ”

Murong Cheng, the right sage king of the Xianbei clan, said indifferently: "Even if the cavalry unit of this broken army has more than 200,000 rabble, it is impossible for us to be the opponent of our 600,000 elite cavalry, but if we want to completely annihilate this broken army today, it should be impossible, after all, they are all cavalry, and it is still easy to escape!" ”

Murong Cheng, the right virtuous king of the Xianbei clan, was very confident, but unfortunately the progress of this battle was very different from what he expected.

On the morning of 12 June, five cavalry brigades and 12 provisional cavalry battalions of the Western Regions Army met with the 600,000 Hu allied forces in the vast grassland, and a duel between the cavalry began.

Xue Rengui's tactics were very simple, that is, almost all the troops of the five cavalry brigades and twelve temporary cavalry battalions of the Western Regions Legion were concentrated on the front, but the front was only used to divert the front, Xue Rengui personally took four puppet bodyguards with peerless military strength, eight puppet bodyguards with the strength of top military generals, and 1,200 Han Dynasty Tiger Ben soldiers of the guards, as well as 3,500 heavy cavalry drawn from the five cavalry brigades of the Western Regions Legion.

Under the leadership of Xue Rengui, a fierce general with a force value of 107 points after the addition of weapons and war horses, the heavy cavalry of the Broken Captivity Army of less than 5,000 people is almost as powerful as a bamboo among the hundreds of thousands of cavalry of the Hu people, like a sharp knife, which is fiercely pierced into the soft underbelly of the Hu people's coalition army, and pierced the heart of the Hu people's coalition army.

In the face of the heavy cavalry of the Broken Capture Army, which was less than 5,000 people, Murong Cheng, the right sage king of the Xianbei tribe, and Yelujing, the left righteous king of the Khitan tribe, mobilized a number of 10,000 troops to try to block the heavy cavalry of the broken army, but they were easily defeated.

The escape of the two commanders, Murong Cheng, the right virtuous king of the Xianbei tribe, and Yelujing, the left righteous king of the Khitan tribe, inevitably caused a chain reaction, and hundreds of thousands of cavalry of various tribes in the grassland immediately collapsed and fled in all directions.

The main force of the five cavalry brigades and twelve temporary cavalry battalions of the Western Regions Army took the opportunity to launch a pursuit of the fleeing Hu cavalry.

Murong Cheng, the right virtuous king of the Xianbei tribe, said that it was still very easy for the cavalry to escape, and at least two-thirds of the 600,000 cavalry of the Hu coalition army who participated in the battle on 12 June escaped, and about 150,000 were killed in the battle, and the Hu cavalry captured by the broken army was less than 10,000.

On the morning of the next day, Murong Cheng, the right sage king of the Xianbei tribe, and Yelujing, the left king of the Khitan tribe, finally gathered more than 100,000 cavalry of various tribes, but at this time, Xue Rengui led the cavalry troops of the broken army to kill again, and the demoralized cavalry of more than 100,000 cavalry of all ethnic groups barely resisted, and embarked on the road of escape again.

Murong Cheng, the right virtuous king of the Xianbei tribe, and Yelujing, the left righteous king of the Khitan tribe, fled for three days before they completely got rid of the pursuit of the cavalry troops of the Broken Army, but at this time, the cavalry of all ethnic groups who could follow these two commanders were less than 10,000 cavalry.
