Chapter 299: Monan Strife
Zonu couldn't send the news to Kebineng, he only knew that Kebineng was now leading his troops into the Han land, but he didn't know where he had entered. Even if they knew, it would be useless, they were separated by thousands of miles, and the reinforcements that Kebi could return must have been slower than the Han army.
It is often not the enemy who really stresses people in war, but the robes influenced by the enemy, and the fear between them alternately spreads, and then even the largest army loses the will to fight.
The Yan army that appeared on the grassland was like an invisible devil's claw, tightly grasping the hearts of the various tribes in the eastern Xianbei, and the first time I heard the news was that the most powerful Micah tribe in the eastern tribe was destroyed, and the fear brought to the other small tribes can be imagined. The disadvantage of the leaderless dragons is that it is difficult for them to quickly assemble a large army, and the stragglers scattered in the various tribes are at risk.
Then Tai Shi Ci used the Micah tribe as a large battalion, and sent Yu Ban, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Xian Pei to attack from all sides, and destroyed several tribes with more than 1,000 troops in a short period of time, making it difficult for the remaining eastern tribes to raise any resistance.
In the ensuing war, it was difficult for the soldiers and horses of the Taishi Ci tribe to get the previous fruitful results when they fell in the east, because the Xianbei people in the east began a passive migration...... One tribe after another ruins, across the vast desert terrain, left footprints on the steppe fleeing all the way west.
They took away the cattle, sheep, horses, and treasures treasured by the lords of the various tribes, as well as the fear that came from the Central Plains.
This fear infects all Xianbei people, spreading among them as quickly as a plague. In just half a month, starting from the first migrating eastern tribes, the Zonu tribe has more than doubled in the blink of an eye, and what's worse is that he can't stop these migrating tribes at all.
They had more soldiers, and after Kebi was able to draw away a large number of warriors from the middle tribes, Zonu gathered more than a dozen tribes under his command to finally gather 7,000 men and horses, but these migrating tribes converged into one place with more than 20,000 soldiers to fight.
Since ancient times, the defeat of an army has been the most dangerous for the local people, even in the grasslands. The migrants from the eastern tribe did not dare to raise troops against Taishi Ci because their tribesmen had already been killed, but this did not mean that they also did not dare to fight against the Xianbei tribe who had been fighting in the early years...... Besides, there is no middle tribe of Kebineng.
In order to avoid this from happening, Zonu designated an area for the eastern migrants to the east of his tribe, which was the route that the Han army had to pass through. He hoped to use the power of these westward migrants to stop the Han army.
Although Zonu is not a Xianbei hero like Kebineng, he can also see the situation clearly, although the Han army attacked outside the Saiwai on a large scale, it was impossible to exhaust the Han soldiers and horses. Their King Zhao himself has not finished a mess, and he is going to war to the south and digging mausoleums, so it is impossible to take out more than 100,000 troops out of the fortress. If the strength of the two sides is similar, they may not be able to stop the Han army on the grassland.
But that's where things go bad.
The leaders of the old Micah tribes, who had migrated westward, had the opportunity to gather together, believing that the Zonu under the Kobineng was doing this to make them pawns so that they could teach their tribes to reap the benefits. To the east is the terrible Han army that killed Mika, and to the west is the soldiers and horses of the middle tribe with few soldiers and a lack of generals...... If there had to be a fight, what would they choose?
After finding out the situation in the Zonu tribe, the battle broke out quietly in the night, at first it was just a few hundred horsemen of the westward tribe who had drunk too much wine and sang outside the Zonu tribe, and the Zonu did not want to make more trouble at this juncture, so he did not order them to be driven away, but what happened next was obviously beyond the expectations of the Zonnu.
These westward migrants rushed into the tribe and set fire to kill people, and the unsuspecting Zonu tribe was immediately greatly impacted, followed by the riders of the westward migration tribe appeared in all directions, and tens of thousands of cavalry only charged three times to kill all the warriors of the Zonu tribe, and then the fire burned down the tribe, and the women and money, cattle and sheep were looted, and then the fire immediately burned to many tribes under the Zonnu.
In just three days, more than ten tribes under the Zonu tribes were not spared, all of them were forced by the easterners who moved westward, and the westward migrants who were wrapped in a large number of women, cattle and sheep did not stop, they decided to continue to attack westward after tasting the sweetness, and people even proposed to follow the story of the Xiongnu in the past, all the way to the west to impact the past, loot and conquer all the tribes along the way, rob those who can rob, surrender those who can surrender, avoid the Han army in the east, and kill all the way to the west.
Even Tai Shi Ci didn't expect this situation, he was feeling embarrassed by a few tribal adults sent to the door from the east...... Three small tribal leaders came to ask for the annex, hoping to fight under the Han army. They are the only remaining remnants of Micah in the eastern steppe. There are smart people everywhere, and the adults of these three small tribes know that even if the Han army conquers Xianbei, it is impossible to rule the incomparably vast grassland, after all, there is no Han city outside the Saiwai, and the Han people need a city to survive.
Since they are only here for the war, why not just surrender.
The Han people have come and gone, and the grassland will always belong to them.
Although they only had more than 2,000 soldiers, they knew more about the Saiwai grassland than the Han people, which would undoubtedly provide great help to the Yan army.
Just as the army set out westward again, it was rewarded with a terrifying response from the scouts...... "Someone arrived at the Middle Tribe before us, and many tribes along the way were slaughtered, and then burned, leaving only ruins." ”
The smoke of the Zonu tribe was gone, and the fire had long been extinguished by the ensuing yellow sand, and there were no living people, no trace, and according to the words of the tribal leader within, this tribe that had lived in tens of thousands of people seemed to have been destroyed overnight, and the fierceness of this method was even comparable to that of the Yan army.
This kind of change made Tai Shi Ci dare not continue to march westward, they must find out who the enemy is, is there a more fierce enemy on the grassland than the Xianbei tribe?
This question did not bother Tai Shi Ci for long, and in the blink of an eye, in July, more Xianbei tribes asked for attachment, but they were not as kind as the three internal leaders of the eastern tribe, and their tribe seemed to have experienced terrible bloody battles, and their identity was even more surprising.
These people were the westward migrants of the eastern tribe, and in their mouths, the mystery in Tai Shici's heart was solved.
The westward migrants went all the way west to kill and plunder, and finally when they approached the western part of the middle tribe, they fought because of the uneven distribution of the spoils among the internal leaders, and then led the army of the western Luoda Budugen, and all parts fell apart, and only a few of them escaped by luck, knowing that they could not fight the Han army, so they asked to be annexed.
