When Gao Shun was busy with the New Year and marriage, Tian Feng led 20,000 cavalry out of the fortress and fought brutally with the Xianbei people in the ice and snow. Gao Shun is in line with the principle of employing people without suspicion and suspecting people without suspicion, and authorizes Tian Feng to be the master of the law.

After Tian Feng arrived in northern Xinjiang, he began to organize and train the army to prepare for the attack on Xianbei.

After Gao Shun determined the tone of the Xianbei strategy, Tian Feng began to go all out to work hard, no matter how big or small, he arranged everything in detail, for fear of betraying Gao Shun's trust.

The salaries and subsidies of the officers and soldiers of the past few years were distributed as early as possible, so that the officers and men took turns to go home to visit their relatives and stabilize their families.

The troops were assembled before the Spring Festival.

Around the Chinese New Year, several heavy snowfalls, the climate is cold, the roads are difficult to travel, and it is a traditional festival of the Han Dynasty, Xianbei people never expected that the Han border army would choose to launch a surprise attack during the New Year.

Tian Feng wanted this effect, which was unexpected.

Now the Han border army is all wearing new-style cotton jackets, cotton pants, cotton shoes, cotton hats and cotton gloves, and the cavalry also adds a thick cotton coat, which is light and warm, and is not afraid of severe cold.

Right Beiping to the west to the valley for the central Xianbei, there are more than 10 Xianbei tribes, in the past by the Xianbei king Tan Shihuai suppressed, since the Helian tribe moved west, the central Xianbei has gained the opportunity for development, the territory of each tribe has been expanded accordingly. Among them, Ke Shi, Que Ju, and Murong have obtained the most territory. The expansion of the territory temporarily alleviated the contradictions between the Xianbei tribes in central China.

Tian Feng's plan was to blitz Danhan Mountain, and then the army swept all the way from west to east; Cheng Li echoed Beiping County and Liaoxi County in the right, pinned down Xianbei in the east, and threatened the rear of Xianbei in the middle; Tian Feng was very cautious and did not divide his troops to fight.

In order to ensure the victory of this war, Tian Feng specially selected a group of young and strong people from the Han people rescued by the Wuhuan tribe to form a scout team, and the captain was Xian Yufu; The people of the border counties are familiar with the characteristics and language of Xianbei, and they are very familiar with the outside of the Seychelles.

On the morning of the fifth day of the first lunar month, at a time that no one could have expected, Yan Liang led 3,000 Wuhuan Yi cavalry and 200 scouts, traveling in a light car, with only three days' of dry food, from Ningcheng, straight to the city.

Tian Feng, Ge Hu, Zhang Fei, Li Su and others led a large army to follow.

In order to speed up the march, all of them were one man and two horses.

Cao Xing was responsible for guarding Ningcheng, and Sima Zhaorui was guarding Gaoliucheng and protecting the rear.

And Rucheng is located between Ningcheng and Danhan Mountain, which is the location of the central governor of the original county, and is only 100 miles away from Danhan Mountain. There is a small Xianbei tribe grazing here, as a warning point in the southern Xianbei, to monitor the southern Han border army.

The border army has been established for so many years, and only when the Wuhuan tribe was wiped out, there were battles, and those who had meritorious service in battle were richly rewarded; This time, the morale of the border army was high, especially those Wuhuan people, who now implemented a unified system and increased taxes, and they were more eager to be rewarded for their military exploits and make their families' lives better.

Yan Liang's 3,000 Yicong cavalry, tun commanders and military marquis were all Han Chinese, and after intensive training and discipline, the combat effectiveness of the Yicong cavalry was greatly improved.

Led by the scouts, they galloped all the way and marched extremely fast.

On the afternoon of the seventh day of the first lunar month, there were still more than 50 miles away from the Xianbei camp, and Yan Liang ordered the troops to camp and rest.

Early the next morning, the army set out early in the morning.

When there were still thirty miles to go, the cavalry slowed down and rode slowly, conserving horsepower and reducing the vibration of the ground to avoid arousing the vigilance of the Xianbei people.

With twenty miles remaining, the troops moved in four groups.

The first three units are each a division, and their mission is to surround the west, north, and east sides of the Xianbei camp to prevent the Xianbei people from escaping; The last three tribes attacked from the south, striving to storm into the Xianbei camp in the shortest possible time and annihilate the Xianbei tribe.

The scouts had already reconnoitred it, and if the city had lost its maintenance, it had been eroded by wind and rain for hundreds of years, and most of the city walls had collapsed, and the city had long been dilapidated and uninhabitable; How was the camp of the Xianbei tribe built, and they lived in tents; This makes it very easy for the Xianbei people in the camp to escape, and they must all be surrounded before they can attack; If someone escapes, the news of the army's northward movement will be exposed, and it will not have the effect of a blitzkrieg.

After scouting, it is estimated that the population of the tribe does not exceed 1,000 people, and the 3,000 cavalry with high morale can definitely be easily crushed and annihilated.

With five miles remaining, the first three armies hastened, and the fourth halted, changed horses, and prepared to charge.

Fortunately, the scouts were strong, and the scattered Xianbei people around them had already been removed, so that the troops were not exposed in advance; And the scouts have secretly dispersed in the northern part of the Xianbei camp, preparing to hunt down the scattered Xianbei people who have escaped

A quarter of an hour later, Yan Liang led the trilogy of righteous cavalry to charge. At this time, the other trilogy has completed the encirclement of the Xianbei camp and is in the process of narrowing the encirclement.

The sound of galloping horses' hooves immediately woke up the Xianbei people, and they judged by the sound of horses' hooves that the enemy would not exceed 2,000 people, and if they held the camp, they still had a certain chance of victory, so the tribesmen began to prepare for battle under the command of the tribal chief.

Soon, the sound of horses' hooves was heard on all sides, and the number was huge, and the Xianbei people were so frightened that they were surrounded, and suddenly there was chaos in the camp.

Five miles away, the war horse galloped wildly, and it only took three minutes to arrive.

Adjacent to the Xianbei camp, a song of cavalry let go of the unmounted war horse and slapped it fiercely, causing it to speed up and rush towards the Xianbei camp.

The Xianbei camp is surrounded by ground trucks and improvised fences, which serve as obstacles for defense.

The war horses galloped away, some of the war horses jumped high and jumped directly into the Xianbei camp, and some of the war horses crashed into the fence or the ground row of cars, and immediately smashed them, and the rest of the war horses took advantage of the weakness.

The sudden herd of war horses disrupted the defense of the Xianbei people, and many people were trampled to death by the war horses.

The righteous cavalry followed, and rushed into the camp of the Xianbei people.

Yan Liang took the lead, led the two tribes to rush into the camp and then began to kill wildly.

A part sealed the mouth of the south to prevent the Xianbei people from escaping.

Yan Liang's big sword flew, and Xianbei was invincible.

The cavalry around the camp continued to shoot at the Xianbei people, which not only made them dare not break through, but also distracted them, unable to deal with Yan Liang in the camp with all their strength.

Surrounded by so many cavalry, the faces of the Xianbei people in the camp were full of fear.

Because the Yicong cavalry was still wearing their traditional costumes and did not change their costumes, these Xianbei people thought that the arrivals were cavalry from other tribes of the steppe.

Wuhuan and Xianbei people are out of Donghu together, and they have a lot of exchanges, and most of them are familiar with the Xianbei language.

According to the order given in advance, the cavalry around shouted in Xianbei language: "Surrender and don't kill!" ”

"Surrender or kill!"

The earth-shattering shouts disintegrated the fighting spirit of the Xianbei people, and many Xianbei people put down their weapons in despair and gave up resistance.

According to the rules of the grassland, if they surrender, they will be absorbed and strengthen the strength of the opposing tribe; If they resist violently, they will be treated as slaves when they win. If the opponent suffers heavy losses, they will kill them all to vent their anger.

Surrendering happily is one of the ways to protect your wife and children.

This greatly alleviated Yan Liang's resistance, and after the tribal chief and his descendants were killed, the war ended smoothly.

Yan Liang didn't expect the war to go so smoothly, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered people to collect the weapons of the Xianbei people, and detain all the Xianbei people, and the scribes counted according to the family, and selected the families of the nobles and descendants of the guards, waiting for Tian Feng to deal with them after his arrival.

At this point, these Xianbei people knew that they had been raided by the big man, and their eyes were full of fear, and they were very unwilling, but it was too late.

The accompanying military doctor bandaged the wounded cavalrymen, otherwise they would probably die in the cold season.

Other scribes examined and registered the wealth of the Xianbei people.

Officials at all levels shall make statistics on their military exploits and report them to each level.

Another soldier was responsible for killing sheep to celebrate the achievement.

There are also people who return the same way, report good news to Tian Feng, and welcome the arrival of the large army.
