The grassland is open and soothing.

The Bahan Mountain, a branch of the Gobi Altai Mountains, is one hundred and eighty miles north of the Juyan Sea.

In that year, Li Ling fought a bloody battle with the Xiongnu for eight days and eight nights, fighting and retreating, and finally defeated the south of the Bahan Mountain.

"Gotta get it!"

Suddenly, there was a sharp sound of hooves from the north, breaking the silence of the grassland, and a dozen black shadows appeared in the distance.

At this moment, Wang Maide and everyone were hiding in the canyon and waiting for help.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and said secretly: "Could it be that the Rouran people have discovered the whereabouts of the army?" ”

Next to him, the two generals of Fuqu Nancheng and Qigan Ali picked up their bows and arrows, preparing to shoot the 'incoming enemy'.

However, it wasn't until the people came to the front that everyone realized that it was not the Rouran people, but the scouts of the Hexi Army.

I heard the scout shouting from afar: "Governor, Governor, we have found the camp of the Rouran!" ”

"What?! It's true? Wang Maide was overjoyed.

He stepped forward and grabbed the scout who came to report the news, and asked again and again, "Where is it?" How many people are there? ”

"Governor Yudu, the Rouran camp is not far to the north, and it is full of tents at a glance, and it is initially estimated that there are thousands of them."

When the generals next to him, such as Nancheng and Ali, heard that they had found Rouran's traces, they were all excited and asked for battle.

"According to the tradition of the grassland, there are generally five people living in a tent, and there are thousands of tents, which means that there are at least 5,000 Rouran people in front."

"In this way, the scout has really found the herdsmen of Rouran's army."

"I beg the Governor to send troops immediately."

"Yes, the governor should hurry up and send troops, it's too late."

Wang Maide waved his hand to stop the generals, only to see that his tiger eyes flashed with wisdom, and he looked like he was holding a pearl of wisdom.

"Don't worry, the governor of Pontus has his own plan."

"Since the Rouran people are here, they will definitely not leave for a short time."

"It's daytime, and if you launch a surprise attack, it won't affect the victory, but it will cause more casualties."

"It's better for everyone to have a full meal and take a good rest."

"After dark, the army will quietly approach the Rouran camp, and then rush into the camp and kill him."

"What the Governor said is very true, I have to do it at night."

He agreed with this idea, and added: "You can also divide the army into four, and attack from four directions at the same time, and the action must be fast and accurate, and no one will be left behind." ”

"That's right, that's right, as long as you move fast enough, don't even think about escaping." The bald Maiden also echoed.

"Okay, that's it, let's find a place first and sleep until dark." Wang Maide finally made a decision.

……

On the southern slope of Junji Mountain, there is a river that flows from the southeast to the direction of Fuyangju Mountain (east of the Bahan Mountain), that is, Longle Water.

During the Han Dynasty, if the Xiongnu Shan Yu Headquarters really wanted to attack the Hetao area to the south when the autumn was high and the horses were fat.

Then let's talk about the water, Longle water, will be the only way for them to attack the Han surrendered city and Xinglu Sai in the south.

There is no shelter here, and there are abundant water sources and pastures, and the herdsmen who accompanied the army mostly stayed here to graze, waiting for the return of Shan Yu in victory.

The Rouran people marched westward, and it still became one of their important logistics pastures, responsible for providing war horses and livestock for the army.

In fact, the Hexi scouts underestimated the number of Rouran people, and there were thousands of tents, filling the grassland for hundreds of miles.

Except for the occasional restlessness, according to the habit of the Hulu, no one usually went out of the tent at night, but stayed in the tent to drink and have fun.

The Rouran herdsmen are not like the army with strict military regulations, they are the same as those Xiongnu and Xianbei predecessors.

Every time they go to a camping place, after the cattle, sheep, horses and livestock are finished, they start to drink and sing, which is a habit that has been passed down by the grassland people for thousands of years.

The whole camp was so scattered that there was not even a single guard post.

Flocks of Rouran herdsmen drank and gossiped in their tents.

A Rouran man burped, squinted a pair of drunken eyes, and shouted in a loud voice: "At present, the army is like a broken bamboo, and it won't be long before the Western Regions will return to Rouran." ”

Another Rouran man gave a thumbs up, and said with a smile: "I heard that yesterday the Khan sent back some beautiful women. ”

The soft man before, with the smell of wine in his mouth, said disdainfully: "Look at your little bit of talent?!" How can a beautiful woman be as important as the Silk Road? ”

"I heard that those Hexi people have already made a lot of money by virtue of the Silk Road."

"As long as the Khan defeats the Hexi people and occupies the Western Regions, we will have what we want, and we will no longer have to suffer from the cold of Mobei."

"Yes...... Can the Khan beat the Hexi people? ”

Just when someone dared to ask, he was immediately despised by everyone.

For more than 100 years, Hulu has prevailed, and the Han people are obviously at a disadvantage, and the Han people have long been synonymous with cowardice and incompetence in the impression of Hulu.

In the eyes of the Rouran people, they never thought that the Northern Wei Dynasty who beat them to the point was Han, nor did they think that the Han people would be as powerful as Tuoba Xianbei.

Therefore, all the Rouran people took it for granted that the Hexi people could not be Rouran's opponents, and they would not have thought that the Hexi Iron Cavalry would dare to go hundreds of miles into the grassland to carry out a sneak attack.

When the Rouran people were immersed in the sound of wine and singing, there was a sudden muffled sound outside the camp, and they saw that the black pressure was overwhelming, and the Hexi cavalry was overwhelmingly rushing over.

……

"Governor, in front of you is the habitat of the Rouran people." After speaking, the scout pointed to the spark looming in the distance.

Wang Maide rode on a horse, looking out at the north, and his tall figure was as thick as a mountain.

The generals lined up left and right, quietly waiting for the order to attack.

"The Governor of this book has ordered: Qi Gan Ali and the bald Wei Tan will each command two cavalry, outflank them from both flanks, and the rest of the people will kill the enemy with me."

"Remember! Anyone who encounters the Rouran is immediately killed, striving to wipe out the nearby tribes in the shortest possible time. ”

When the Hexi Iron Cavalry raided, it was when the Rouran people were about to rest after drinking, and they were caught off guard and were killed on their backs.

The roar of war horses suddenly resounded through the heavens and the earth, and spread far away in the empty and boundless grassland.

Countless drunken and hazy Xianbei people looked to the south suspiciously, but when they saw the smoke and dust billowing around them, a cavalry attacked.

Rouranren's face suddenly changed greatly, and he immediately blew a terrible horn sound.

Da Da ...... The sound of iron hooves trampling on the ground gradually approached the Rouran tribe from far and near.

The 18,000-life Hexi cavalry rode their horses and raised their swords, and under the light of the fire, they brought up pieces of blood flowers.

At this time, countless Rouran people trembled with fear, forgetting that they had boasted before about how heroic they were in the face of the Han people.

When the Hexi cavalry rushed into the Rouran camp, they swung their horizontal knives and slashed hard.

This is the first large-scale outflow of the Han army since Yongjia.

The Hexi people once again left the prestige of the Han people on the grassland, telling the Rouran people who tried to plunder south that the Han people were no longer what they used to be.

"It's Han!"

"Kill all the Han people!"

When the Rouran people reacted, they immediately began to fight back, but unfortunately it was too late.

When the sharp horizontal knife cut off the heads of the Rouran people one by one, the Rouran people knew that the Hexi Army in front of them was obviously different from the Han people in their impression.

They have strong combat effectiveness, superb riding skills, and a horizontal knife kills the Rouran people crying and calling their mothers.

In the blink of an eye, thousands of heads rolled on the ground, their eyes wide.

They didn't believe it until they died, and the Han people, who had not appeared on the prairie for a hundred years, went hundreds of miles deep into the north again.

Originally, the Rouran people were defeated generals under the Northern Wei Dynasty, and their combat effectiveness was still a cut short of the Hexi Army.

And these people in front of them are a logistics team composed of ordinary herdsmen, and their combat effectiveness is even lower.

On the battlefield, Wang Maide waved a horizontal knife in his hand, and a human head flew into the sky, blood burst out, splashing him.

didn't have time to wipe the blood on his face, only to see the horizontal knife once again cut a graceful arc, and brought up the blood stains to the sky.

A Rouran man who tried to sneak attack, clutching his throat, blood oozing from between his fingers.

He pointed his finger at Wang Maide, and fell to the sky with an unwilling face, and the blood instantly stained the grass red.

As one head after another fell to the ground, Wang Maide became more and more excited, and the more he killed, the more his blood boiled.

In the end, his eyes were bloodshot, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar: "Kill!" ”

"Kill!" A group of Hexi soldiers responded to the call of the main general and fought bravely to kill the enemy.

In the face of the surprise attack, the Rouran people had no power to fight back at all, and let the Hexi army slaughter them.

After several consecutive killings, at the foot of Junji Mountain and on the bank of Longle Water, the Rouran tribe responsible for grazing and guarding was killed and wounded.

A total of thousands of Rouran people were killed, and only a few escaped the pursuit while it was dark.

By the time the battle was over, there was not a single living Rouran in the entire camp.

The blood didn't have time to soak into the soil, and it gathered into small lakes of blood, which shimmered red in the moonlight......

After the war, Wang Maide captured a large number of cattle, sheep and horses, and temporarily solved the logistical supply.
