Chapter 117: Qiu Liju's Ambition

Thirty thousand cavalry were selected from hundreds of thousands of Wuhuan people, and they went north with the most powerful force of Wuhuan. Over the years, Xianbei's decline has aroused his ambitions.

In the past, when Xianbei was strong and powerful, he could only shrink his neck and develop the tribe silently in Youzhou. Since the death of Tanshi Huai, Xianbei chaos and disputes, dazzling. The civil strife continued, and the Xiongnu took the opportunity to rise, marched north several times, and bit a large piece of meat from Xianbei's body, which made Qiu Liju greedy.

Now, the Xiongnu sent a large army and attacked Khan Mountain thousands of miles north, obviously with the idea of annexing Xianbei in one fell swoop. Qiu Liju naturally couldn't bear it anymore, and there was Fu Luohan by the side to tempt and agitate, without much hesitation, when the Xiongnu army approached Danhan Mountain, he decisively raised troops to the north.

The lords of Wuhuan, Su Muyan, Wuyan, Nanlou and others all did their best to follow Qiu Liju on the expedition.

"Why don't you listen to that Zhang Ju, and send troops to attack Youzhou with him, the Han is much richer than the Xianbei grassland, why listen to Na Luo Han's north. I heard that the Huns had an army of 50,000 or 60,000, but they are not easy to provoke! Su Fuyan, who was following beside him, asked.

Glancing at the three thousand Xianbei troops in the distance, Fu Luohan was in the formation. Qiu Liju explained slightly: "Even if we attack the Han in the south, how much land can we occupy to make the Han people submit to our rule? There are countless towns in Dahan County, and the city is strong, can we use cavalry to attack the city? In the end, it was only a matter of looting some material wealth and capturing some slaves. The north is different, if the Xianbei tribe can be annexed, then in a short period of time, the strength of my Wuhuan can be greatly improved. ”

Unlike other people, he was full of confidence, looking at Qiu Liju, Su Muyan still hesitated: "My lord, Xianbei is estimated to be over, but the Huns are really not to be underestimated." Over the years, under the leadership of Shan Yu Liu Yuan, he has become more and more prosperous, and his prestige has been written in northern Xinjiang. Rushing north, are we a little reckless! ”

"Humph!" Qiu Liju waved his hand and said indifferently: "Don't be frightened by the Huns, the Huns will be revived again, can they be compared with the original Huns?" Liu Yuan can be compared with Mao Dun, Lao Shang, and Yi Zhixi. ”

"The rise of the Huns is just a trick, if it weren't for the fact that the descendants of Tanshi Huai were not angry, and most of the strength was consumed, with him the Huns could fight in Khan Mountain? His Hun army is strong, and my Wuhuan Tuqi is not weak! Su Fuyan, you don't have to worry! ”

Qiu Liju's tone was full of confidence, or conceit. Since the beginning of the Later Han Dynasty, the Wuhuan Tuqi has made a great reputation, and even pressed the Xiongnu for a time. Today, a hundred years later, Wuhuan has developed for so many years, except for the suppression of the Tanshi Huai era, Wuhuan's strength has been improving. This is also where Qiu Li's confidence lies, but unfortunately he doesn't know that the Xiongnu under Liu Yuan's rule are completely different from the Xiongnu he imagined.

"Uncle, the Huns are all the elite in the country, why don't we directly attack Meiji and fight the rear of the Huns?" At this time, the young man next to him suddenly asked. The questions raised are quite insightful.

"Haha!" Qiu Liju was very satisfied with his subordinate, but said in his mouth: "Children's opinion! Meiji is thousands of miles away from me, not to mention the risk of long-distance attacks, even horsepower. ”

"How can Budugen on the side of Danhan Mountain gather tens of thousands of troops to resist the Huns, and the Huns will not pay any price, and they will not want to defeat them. At this time, I am afraid that they are still in the fierce battle, and when they are both defeated, we can take advantage of the situation to attack. If the military strength of Xianbei and Xiongnu is lost, then the remaining troops will not be taken by us, and Danhan Mountain and Meiji will be ours sooner or later! "Very arrogant, Qiu Liju imagines infinitely, weaving a dream for himself.

Running all the way north, all the way to narrate, Qiu Liju is getting closer and closer to the 10,000 hungry and thirsty guards led by Liu Yuan.

"My lord, not far ahead, there is a Hun army!" There are Wuhuan scouts flying to warn.

Hearing this, Qiu Liju's face immediately showed a trace of surprise, shouldn't the Huns be fighting against the Xianbei people? This army is a reserve army? After thinking about it, Qiu Liju still made a decisive decision: "Let's go, go and see!" "Driving the horse to the north, the Wuhuan army began to pick up speed.

After marching north for more than ten miles, the Wuhuan people slowly slowed down and stopped. Qiu Liju saw the "Hun army" in the mouth of the scout, on a large low slope in the north, ten thousand horsemen stood solemnly, waiting quietly.

The black pressure was overwhelming, occupying the hillside, and it was on the offensive. Three miles away, it took the Wuhuan people a full two quarters of an hour to organize the military formation. Liu Yuan was on the hillside, staring coldly at the Wuhuan people coming from the north, and he didn't mean to give the order to attack.

The grassland slowly fell silent, only the howl of the west wind and the snort of war horses. The Wuhuan people were once again shocked by the Xianbei people before, black clothes and black armor, easy to use the equipment of ordinary cavalry, Qiu Liju felt uneasy for the first time in his heart, something was wrong, the situation seemed to be far from what he expected. However, looking at the more than 30,000 Wuhuan troops behind him, his heart was also a lot more stable.

"Listen to the Wuhuan people on the other side, my Hun Dashan is here, I don't know what you are doing here?" The guard sergeant with a loud voice asked.

In the open grassland, the sound propagation was a little weak, but Qiu Liju still caught it clearly. With a roll of his eyes, Qiu Liju stepped forward directly and responded: "I heard that the Xiongnu Shan Yu Liu Yuan led the army to conquer Xianbei, and Qiu Ligute led my Wuhuan Raid to help!" ”

Hearing Qiu Liju's words, Liu Yuan suddenly smiled, and turned sideways and whispered a word to the sergeant. The sergeant was ordered to ride his horse to the bottom of the hillside and galloped more than ten zhang, and tightened the reins to stop the horse: "Da Danyu has a word, get out!" ”

Holding back his strength, the word "roll" spit out from the sergeant's mouth, and the soldiers in the front line of the two armies heard it.

An unnatural flush swelled all over his face, and Qiu Liju was extremely ashamed and angry. He naturally knew in his heart that the other party would not believe his words, but he didn't expect Liu Yuan to give such a response, and the word "roll" hit him in the face bluntly, as Lord Wuhuan, he Qiu Liju also wanted face!

"Let Fu Luo Han lead the attack!" Although in a state of rage, Qiu Liju cunningly let Fu Luohan lead the Xianbei army to attack as a temptation.

Fu Luohan was ordered, but he was unwilling in his heart, he, the former Xianbei "adult" and "Shan Yu", was reduced to a situation where the Wuhuan people were called around. But under the eaves, the man had to bow his head, and with full reluctance, led people to attack the guards.

Seeing the three thousand horsemen rushing towards him from the Wuhuan army array, Liu Yuan showed disdain and said lightly: "Bow and arrow ready!" ”

Orders were given one after another, and the platoon of guards quickly held their bows high, wound their arrows, and pulled them half-full. Aiming ahead, quietly waiting for Liu Yuan's attack order, he seemed extremely calm.

The movements of the Huns fell in the eyes of Fu Luo Han, and they consciously slowed down their horses and fell to the center of the three thousand Xianbei army formation.

When the Xianbei people entered the firing range, Liu Yuan gave an order, and the guards neatly drew their bowstrings and launched arrows to attack. It is very layered, shooting in batches, hitting hundreds of arrows in waves, continuously.

The Xianbei people immediately felt that the Huns' arrows were hitting their side as if they could not finish shooting, not only many, but also full of accuracy. Rushing to the Hun army for a distance of nearly a hundred zhang, a large number of dead and wounded.

The wailing continued, and Fu Luohan sweated on his forehead, and he could already clearly see the faces of the Huns in the front row. Calmly, mechanically put the arrow, wound it, and shoot, and with a chill in his heart, he looked around, only to feel that even if his side rushed in front of the enemy, he would not be able to fight anymore.

Unable to stand the huge casualties, Fu Luohan decisively ordered a retreat, and the Xianbei soldiers heard the order and retreated to the rear. The guards still quietly attacked with arrows, leaving the Xianbei cavalry with nearly two hundred more people.

In such a short period of time, the 3,000 Xianbei cavalry who attacked had not yet touched the side of the guards, and killed or wounded three or forty percent of the soldiers and horses.
