Chapter 78: Kebi can fall
Wuyuan County, Jiuyuan City, with the order of Subu Chiyi, the soldiers under his command directly occupied all parts of the city and began to rest. With the arrival of Liu Yuan's order, Xu Bu Chiyi accelerated the cleanup of the Wuyuan counties, and these days, he led 5,000 cavalry troops to sweep the counties, not letting go of every city.
It took three days to conquer Wuyuan, Yiliang, and Chengyi counties all the way to the west, and all the way to the most marginal county seat of Xi'an. The wind and dust returned, glancing at the Xianbei captives who had been captured and returned to Jiuyuan City, Xu Bu Chiyi was very indifferent, and he was not very happy.
It is nothing to determine a weak county with a strong army, and to go north to attack Xianbei, plunder the population, and dominate the grassland, that is an immortal feat. Time does not wait for me, I have to lead the army to converge with the big single in the north as soon as possible, Mo Nan is the place to show his strength, and Xu Bu Chiyi is full of pride.
"Lord Chiyi, the scouts have found that there is a Xianbei army that has crossed the Yin Mountain and entered the territory of Wuyuan!" At noon, Subu Chiyi was about to gather the soldiers to lead the army to the east, when a personal soldier came to report.
His curiosity was suddenly aroused, and his eyes showed a look of surprise, and he immediately asked, "How many people are there and how are they moving?" Staring at the urgent question.
"The armor was in tatters, the morale was low, the scouts didn't dare to get too close, and they couldn't find out the exact number, there should be two or three thousand people. Active in the northern part of the Five Plains, the scouts are still watching! ”
With his hands crossed over his chest, Su Bu Chiyi thought for a while, and suddenly ordered with a smile: "Gather the soldiers, there is prey appearing, go hunt with me!" "The army was assembled quickly, and it didn't take long for nearly 5,000 knights to line up in the north of Jiuyuan City and march north with Subu Chiyi.
This place in Manyi Valley is located in the northeast of Wuyuan, very close to Yunzhong. To the north is the main vein of Yin Mountain, which curbs the north-south traffic of Yin Mountain. At this time, in the valley, a remnant of the Xianbei army was scattered around, paralyzed on the ground, with nearly 3,000 people.
It took a long time to finally cross the Yinshan Mountain Range, and it was rare to find a place to rest, and many soldiers dismounted and fell asleep regardless of it. Kebineng was the leader of this team, and he led people to inspect and appease the soldiers before sitting down, and Kebineng had no decadence after the defeat in his eyes. looked at the Xianbei people around him, his eyes were shining, and although he was defeated, he took the opportunity to expand his strength.
During the pursuit of the easy-going company, Kebi was vigilant in his heart, and he did not relax his guard for a moment, especially on the first day when the water source was cut off, he was ready to flee.
When it was raided, the army of Helian was in disarray, and only Kebi could firmly control his subordinates, leading people to break out of the camp and go straight to the southeast. He Lian abandoned the army and ran eastward, and Kebi Neng took the opportunity to gather many scattered people and gather these people.
fled eastward, without looking for the large army of Helian, and fled all the way to the vicinity of the surrendered city along the water source point under his memory. Taking advantage of the time when Helian attracted the attention of the Western Coalition Army, he decisively went south, wanting to avoid the enemy's edge through Wuyuan and make a detour back to the royal court.
Hundreds of miles of running, coupled with the difficult journey to Yinshan, the war horses were worn out, and the soldiers were tired, so far they were finally able to have a good rest, and Kebineng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Hungry, he had to ask for some food from the Xianbei tribe in Wuyuan County, Kebineng thought in his heart. As soon as he was about to send someone to the south out of the valley to investigate, he felt a terrible tremor, and Kobi could realize what it was.
With a solemn face, he pulled out his waist knife and called on the surrounding soldiers to stand up and be on guard. Not long after, the deafening shouts of killing were refracted on the canyon rock wall, and Kebineng, who knew nothing about the situation in Wuyuan, was startled, and he didn't know where the army was attacking, but he could also feel the thick malice.
The Xianbei soldiers were also panicked, and they woke up one after another, dragging their extremely tired bodies, hurriedly raising their knives, and getting on their horses to be on guard. Without allowing Kebi to bring in a good formation, there was still some confusion, and a Hun cavalry army had already appeared in the field of vision.
Seeing the Huns, he attacked towards his own side with a murderous spirit, and the majestic momentum, the long knife glowing with cold light, made Kebineng's pupils shrink. The heartbeat was beating violently, how could the Huns appear here, Kebineng had no time to think, and shouted hoarsely to stop the still chaotic military formation, to meet the onslaught of the approaching Hun army.
Before waiting long, the front army of the Huns approached and gave a loud order, and a rain of arrows came out of the Xianbei people's formation, shooting down dozens of Huns. The Hun army was the same, Yu immediately bent his bow and shot angrily, and by running at high speed, the arrows ruthlessly pierced the bodies of some Xianbei soldiers in the front row.
The terrain of Manyi Valley is dangerous, but the Xianbei people cannot give full play to their geographical advantages at this time. When he entered the valley and was stationed, Kebineng didn't think much about it, thinking that the crisis had passed, let alone others, and he was completely unguarded.
And the soldiers are tired, hungry and sleepy, and it is the end of the strong crossbow. Subu Chiti saw this, and when he found out the specific situation of the Xianbei army, he decisively sent an army to rush and kill. At this time, even if the terrain of Manyi Valley was treacherous, it was difficult to limit the attack of the Huns.
After the hand-to-hand encounter, the Xianbei people composed of miscellaneous soldiers resisted extremely hard, and the battle place fell layer by layer under the sword of the Huns. Kebi was able to experience the front line, shouting and fighting, and suffered a good knife wound on his body, forcibly arousing the blood of his subordinates to resist the attack of the Huns.
Kebineng quickly judged that the Huns on the opposite side had more troops than himself, as long as he held the first wave of impact and had a buffer time, he could take advantage of the geographical advantage of Manyi Valley to recover the situation.
"That Xianbei leader, his courage is commendable!" In the distance, Xu Bu Chiyi looked at the fighting Kebineng and praised it with a smile, as if he admired it, but what was revealed in his eyes was "This prey is very interesting".
"Order, let the front army retreat! Let the Xianbei people take a break. Xu Bu Chiyi said lightly.
Hearing the order, under the leadership of the commander in front, the Hun army decisively and slowly retreated, disengaged, and retreated to a short place, still staring at the Xianbei people.
Looking at the Huns not far away, Kebi could pant for breath, but he had no joy to block his attack. The Hun cavalry on the opposite side, elite enough, attacked their own tired soldiers, so took the initiative to retreat, obviously leaving spare strength. Looking nervously at the Huns opposite, Kebi Neng was sweating profusely and did not dare to relax in the slightest.
Under the order of Subu Chiyi, the Xiongnu did not make any moves, so they silently blocked the front and took the initiative to confront the remnants of the Xianbei army. "Listen to the Xianbei people on the other side, Wuyuan has been taken by my Huns, and you have become a lonely army. Lord Chi Yi has something to say, surrender as soon as possible! "There are Hun soldiers who pass the word, which is particularly clear in the canyon.
It's a simple statement, without many threatening words, but it makes Kebi feel a lot of pressure. After half an hour, the Xianbei people, who were tired from spirit to body, were a little unable to bear it, many soldiers were confused, and Kebineng had not seen the movements of the Huns, and he was even more uneasy.
"Kill!" A violent rush came from behind, and Kebineng frowned and looked back. I saw another Hun army coming behind me, and when it was over, Kebi Neng was shocked and finally understood the meaning behind the Huns' actions.
Subu Chiti had been calmly looking ahead, and when he saw the frightened Xianbei people, the corners of his mouth curled slightly. He tilted his head and ordered: "Go and spread the word again, let the Xianbei people surrender!" Otherwise, die! ”
Hearing the Huns' persuasion to surrender again, Kebi was able to scan the surroundings, and many soldiers showed fear on their faces, obviously intent on moving. Sighed: "Dismount, lay down your arms, and surrender!" When the Xianbei soldiers heard the order, their spirits were immediately relieved, and Kebineng was the same, and he also had a desire for life in his heart.
Seeing the Xianbei people who knew the current affairs, Xu Bu Chiyi showed a relaxed smile on his face, and his eyes were constantly bright. This is "the soldier who surrenders without a fight!" ”
