Chapter 610: A Battle

On the morning of July 14, 432 of the Great Jin Dynasty, near the royal court of the Xianbei tribe north of the Yinle Mountains, two large armies slowly pressed against each other, one of which was the 1.8 million cavalry gathered by the Xianbei tribe, and the other was more than 3 million troops dominated by the broken army.

Early in the morning of July 14, after Murong Ke, the Great Khan of Xianbei, received the signs of an attack by the Breaker Army, he immediately gathered most of the troops of the Xianbei Imperial Court and greeted the Breaker Army with superior strength without showing weakness.

Xianbei Khan Murong Ke can't do this if he doesn't do this, the armies of the Xianbei clan and its affiliated tribes are almost all cavalry, and they can't let the cavalry give up their horses and become infantry, and then defend the Xianbei royal court!

Therefore, Murong Ke, the Great Khan of Xianbei, could only bite the bullet and chose to fight with the Broken Army on the grassland near the Xianbei Royal Court.

At present, the Xianbei cavalry gathered in the Xianbei royal court and the cavalry of the affiliated clans, counting the young men and old people who have just been recruited, the total strength has reached two million.

After the armies of the two sides approached, there were generals on the side of the Broken Army who came to the front of the two armies and called for the battle to the Xianbei army, but the Xianbei people turned a blind eye to the call of the generals of the Broken Army, the Xianbei Khan Murong Ke was not stupid, and fighting with the fierce generals of the Broken Army would only reduce their morale and let the Xianbei people lose a few warriors with high martial arts, which was really not cost-effective, not to mention the generals of the Broken Army, but it gave the Xianbei Khan Murong Ke a very deep impression.

In front of the two armies to the Xianbei army to call the battle of the general, is the current first general of the Xianbei army Li Cunxiao, Li Cunxiao shouted to the Xianbei army for a long time, but unfortunately the Xianbei tribe still did not have a general who dared to go out to meet the battle, at this time the gong sounded in front of the formation of the broken army, Li Cunxiao pouted contemptuously at the Xianbei army in the distance, and then turned his horse back to the front of the army.

"Mr. Zhang, the Xianbei clan doesn't dare to send someone to fight with our captive army!" Li Cunxiao shrugged his shoulders and said to Zhang Liang.

Liu Ji was not in front of the army at this time, in this big battle with the Xianbei tribe, Liu Ji appointed Zhang Liang to temporarily serve as the commander of the army of more than three million, but Liu Ji left alone with more than two hundred puppet bodyguards.

Zhang Liang smiled and said: "It seems that the battle with the grassland alliance army has spread the prestige of General Li Cunxiao all over the grassland, since the Xianbei people dare not fight, then we will send cavalry troops to attack!" ”

At this time, Li Mu asked for a battle and said, "Mr. Zhang, why don't you let Li Mu take the lead?" ”

At present, Li Mu was temporarily appointed by Liu Ji as the commander of more than 24,000 Han Dynasty Tiger Ben troops, Wang Jian was temporarily appointed as the commander of more than 18,000 Tang Dynasty Xuanjia soldiers, Bai Qi was temporarily appointed as the commander of more than 96,000 Wei soldiers, and Meng Tian was temporarily appointed as the commander of more than 35,000 soldiers trapped in the camp.

Zhang Liang immediately nodded and said: "Looking at the posture of the Xianbei clan, they will not take the initiative to attack, General Li Mu, then the head of our Broken Army will be handed over to you!" ”

Li Mu then led more than 24,000 Han Dynasty tiger troops to charge the Xianbei army, and at least 30,000 cavalry from the Xianbei tribe soon met them.

When the cavalry of the two sides fought together, the 30,000 cavalry of the Xianbei tribe immediately fell into disadvantage, and Murong Ke, the great Khan of Xianbei, had to send another 30,000 Xianbei cavalry to support it.

Zhang Liang saw that tens of thousands of cavalry from the Xianbei tribe rushed out, and immediately asked Wang Jian to lead more than 18,000 Tang Dynasty Xuanjia soldiers to rush out.

In this way, you sent a group of cavalry to charge, and I immediately sent a group of cavalry to meet it, and it didn't take long for the Broken Army to have more than 24,000 Han Dynasty Tiger Army, more than 18,000 Tang Dynasty Xuanjia soldiers, 15 cavalry brigades of the Grassland Legion, 12 cavalry brigades of the Beiting Legion, and 900,000 nomadic cavalry of various ethnic groups recruited from the territory of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, and the cavalry of the Xianbei tribe were mixed together.

In addition to the infantry, the Broken Army also had three cavalry brigades of the Grassland Legion, four cavalry brigades of the Beiting Legion, and 800,000 nomadic cavalry of various ethnic groups recruited from the territory of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, which still did not join the battlefield, but the Xianbei tribe had already sent 1.6 million Xianbei cavalry and cavalry of various affiliated tribes, and the army left by the Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke was left with only 200,000 Xianbei cavalry.

Fortunately, the nomadic cavalry of all ethnic groups recruited by the Broken Army from the territory of the Beiting Protectorate is not strong in combat, so that the Xianbei tribe is not at a loss on the battlefield at present, but seeing that the Broken Army still has a large number of cavalry troops and infantry units in the distance, and they have not been put into the battlefield, the Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke immediately sent someone to transfer the 200,000 elite cavalry in the Xianbei Royal Court, and transferred another 150,000 people.

When the elite cavalry of the 150,000 Xianbei tribe also left the Xianbei royal court, Liu Ji, who took more than 200 puppet bodyguards, couldn't help but show a smile.

Soon after, Liu Ji took more than 200 puppet bodyguards, urging the horse to rush to the royal court of the Xianbei tribe, after approaching the Xianbei royal court, Liu Ji suddenly appeared around a dense Wei State soldiers, it turned out that Liu Ji was the 230,000 Wei soldiers in the system, all summoned in one breath.

Although there were still 50,000 elite Xianbei cavalry in the Xianbei royal court at this time, the 230,000 Wei soldiers appeared too suddenly, and they did not give the 50,000 Xianbei cavalry time to react.

Zhang Liang saw that as Liu Ji said, Liu Ji had secretly dispatched some elite troops to lurk in the north of the Xianbei Royal Court, and took advantage of the opportunity of the fierce battle between the main force of the Broken Army and the main force of the Xianbei tribe to attack the Xianbei Royal Court.

Murong Ke, the Great Khan of Xianbei, learned that a large number of infantry from the Broken Army had invaded the Xianbei Royal Court, and his body shook and almost planted his war horse, Murong Ke quickly asked the 150,000 Xianbei cavalry who had just been transferred from the Royal Court to return to the Royal Court to exterminate the infantry of the Broken Army, but at this time, the more than one million cavalry troops of the Broken Army who did not fight were all pressed up.

"Father Khan, what should I do? The cavalry units of the Broken Army rushed up! Xianbei Zuoxian King Murong Xiong asked anxiously.

Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke's face changed a few times, and then gritted his teeth and said: "There is no need to let the 150,000 cavalry return to the royal court to support, all the warriors of the Xianbei tribe, attack with this Great Khan, whether our Xianbei tribe can continue to survive on the grassland, it depends on today's battle!" ”

Now there are 1.6 million Xianbei cavalry and the cavalry of various subordinate clans, put into the battlefield, once this cavalry decisive battle is defeated, even if it can now wipe out the infantry of the Broken Army in the royal court, it is useless, the royal court of the Xianbei tribe will definitely fall into the hands of the Broken Army in the end, only after the victory of this cavalry duel, the Xianbei tribe can keep the royal court.

It's a pity that after the Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke led 350,000 Xianbei cavalry to the battlefield, the situation on the battlefield still quickly became one-sided, and the number of cavalry on the side of the Broken Army was much more than that of the Xianbei tribe.

On the afternoon of July 14, the Xianbei royal court had been captured by Liu Ji and his troops, and the cavalry of the Xianbei tribe finally couldn't hold on, and a large number of Xianbei cavalry and the cavalry of various subordinate clans began to scatter and flee, and after the Xianbei Khan Murong Ke was killed by a stray arrow, the remaining million cavalry of the Xianbei tribe completely collapsed.

In the end, the remnants of the cavalry of the Xianbei tribe and its affiliated tribes, under the leadership of Murong Xiong, the king of Xianbei Zuoxian, chose to surrender to the Broken Army, and the Xianbei Royal Court, which gathered two million cavalry, was defeated by the Broken Army.

In this battle of the Xianbei Royal Court, the Xianbei cavalry and the cavalry of the affiliated clans, a total of nearly 800,000 people were killed, more than 100,000 people scattered and fled, almost 1.1 million people surrendered to the Broken Army, and the troops put into the battle on the side of the Broken Army, the numerous cavalry brigades of the Grassland Legion and the Beiting Legion, lost a total of 150,000 people, as the main force of the Han Dynasty Tiger Army and the Tang Dynasty Xuanjia Soldiers, also lost more than 10,000 people, and the nomadic cavalry of all ethnic groups recruited from the territory of the Beiting Protectorate suffered the greatest loss, and the number of dead alone exceeded 400,000, In addition, in the process of capturing the Xianbei royal court, the Wei soldiers also lost nearly 30,000 people.

It turned out that after Liu Ji summoned Lu Junyi, Wang Yansheng, Huang Ba and Gong Sui, the soul value in his hands was only more than 30,000 points, and after this battle in the Xianbei Royal Court, the soul value in Liu Ji's hands had exceeded 1.43 million points.

On the evening of July 14, in a huge felt bag in the royal court of the Xianbei tribe, Liu Ji said to Murong Xiong, the king of Xianbei Zuoxian, with a gloomy face: "Murong Ke Khan died on the battlefield, and the governor of this capital is also very sad in his heart, after all, Murong Ke Khan is Xue'er's father, and Xue'er is the wife of this governor, Murong Ke Khan is also the father-in-law of this governor, Xue'er if she knows the news of Murong Ke's death, she doesn't know how sad she is." ”

Murong Xiong, the king of Xianbei Zuoxian, was not tied up at this time, he said with a wry smile: "When my father Khan wanted to join the grassland alliance again, this king was very opposed, but unfortunately my father Khan's character was very stubborn, and my father Khan couldn't listen to the words of others at all, otherwise our Xianbei tribe would not have ended up like this, alas-I don't know what Governor Liu Dadu is going to do with our Xianbei tribe?" ”

Liu Ji then said: "King Zuo Xian, in fact, you and I are not outsiders, from Xue'er, King Zuo Xian is still the eldest brother of the governor of this capital, since they are all a family, the governor of this capital will tell the truth, the Xianbei people must be loyal to the governor of this capital and the descendants of the governor of this capital for generations, the territory and population of the Xianbei tribe will all be incorporated into the Beiting Protectorate of the governor of this capital, and the army has the right to recruit young and strong people into the army in the Xianbei tribe, and the governor of this capital is ready to let King Zuo Xian inherit the position of the Great Khan of the Xianbei tribe, I don't know what King Zuo Xian thinks? ”

Murong Xiong, King of Zuoxian, sighed, "Governor Liu, this king and the Xianbei clan no longer have the capital to bargain. ”

"Hehe, this Governor is willing to deal with people who know the times! Zuo Xian Wang ...... No, Murong Xiong Great Khan, you have made the most desperate choice for the Xianbei clan! ”

With the cooperation of Murong Xiong, the Zuoxian King of the Xianbei tribe, the Broken Army began to attack everywhere, taking over all the tribes and armies of the Xianbei tribe, and Liu Ji also sent several large armies to attack the territories of the Xianbei affiliated tribes.

Most of the armies of the Xianbei subordinate clans were drawn out by the late Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke, which made the attack of the Broken Army on the Xianbei affiliated tribes very smooth, and the Xianbei Clan, the Suxi Clan, the Yuzhen Clan, the Guhun Clan, the Ding Ling Clan and other eighteen small clans surrendered to the iron hooves of the Broken Capture Army.

Counting from the day the Breaker Army occupied the Xianbei Royal Court, it took less than two months for the troops of the Breaker Army to annex the entire Xianbei tribe of thousands of tribes and the various nomadic tribes dependent on Xianbei, and obtained about 8.5 million square kilometers of grassland, of which about 7 million square kilometers of grassland belonged to the Xianbei tribe, and the remaining 1.5 million square kilometers of grassland belonged to the Qiluo tribe, the Suxi tribe, the Yuzhen tribe, the Guhun tribe, the Ding Ling tribe and other 18 small tribes.

The population of the Xianbei tribe plus its various subordinate clans, about 25 million, also fell into the hands of the Breaker Army, and the wealth harvested by the Breaker Army was an astronomical amount, only in the royal court of the Xianbei Tribe, the Breaker Army captured 50 million taels of gold and 1.8 billion taels of silver.

The Xianbei people and the affiliated nomads added up to about 8.5 million square kilometers of grassland, by Liu Ji's big hand, all of them were incorporated into the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, and the 8.5 million square kilometers of grassland was divided into ten prefectures, which were named Xingzhou, Shunzhou, Huaizhou, Weizhou, Luozhou, Shenzhou, Cizhou, Qizhou, Zhaozhou and Baozhou by Liu Ji.

The Xianbei cavalry captured and incorporated by the Broken Army this time and the cavalry of the Xianbei affiliated tribes added up to more than 2.8 million, and after removing the old and weak and the generals of all ethnic groups, the Broken Army finally incorporated the two million Xianbei cavalry and the cavalry of the Xianbei affiliated tribes into the system of the Broken Army, and these two million cavalry of all ethnic groups were almost all incorporated into the Grassland Legion and the Beiting Legion of the Broken Army.

In this way, not only did the damaged cavalry brigades of the Prairie Army and the Beiting Army immediately return to a full state, but also allowed each of the two army corps to form twenty new cavalry brigades, so that the establishment of these two army corps became forty cavalry brigades and ten infantry brigades.
