Chapter 208: The Yue Clan was innocently attacked
It is said that the Qiang people sent more than 10,000 people to leave the tribe some time ago and go to the northwest to explore the road, and they really found a road to the north of the Qilian Mountains. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The other Yue clan naturally didn't know anything about this matter, Chen Ping heard that the Qiang people moved out, and he still had doubts in his heart, but there was no other news coming, so he had to give up on the matter of the Qiang tribe's relocation.
In addition to the many canyons in the north of the Qilian Mountains, some of them are still passable, and the Qiang people originally belonged to the nomadic ranks, and it only took a few days to arrange the affairs of the new land.
In the camp, the patriarch of the Qiang tribe was very sad in his heart, and he didn't expect that in less than half a month, he would lose 5,000 soldiers, and lose a lot of baggage, and hide in such a deserted place.
"Now that the old land has been destroyed and the new land is still being settled, what do you think of the next step?" The patriarch of the Qiang tribe said a little tiredly, and the elders of the two columns just looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.
At this moment, except for one of the elders in the tent, whose eyes were gloomy, the rest of the people were all melancholy, but his face was resentful, why? , It turned out that this person was the father-in-law of the small patriarch of the Qiang tribe near Yanzhi Mountain.
He thought that the patriarch of the Qiang tribe would avenge the little patriarch, so he listened to what the elders said at the beginning and did not send troops, but now the Qin army has not solved the problem, but is forced to come to this place where there is no grass.
"I think that I should send troops to the Yue clan as soon as possible, occupy the north of Qilian Mountain, and then unite with the Xiongnu and expel the Qin army, so as to preserve the overall situation, otherwise this is where you and I will live." The elder said sharply.
After hearing this, the patriarch of the Qiang tribe looked around at the many elders in the camp, most of them nodded in agreement, this is also the only way at present, if the Yue clan occupies the northwest and becomes big alone, even if the Qiang clan returns to their hometown, I am afraid that they will be beaten back again.
"What the elder said is reasonable, tomorrow he will send troops to attack the Yue clan, and then make peace with the Xiongnu, this is a long-term plan." The patriarch of the Qiang tribe said a little indifferently.
Several Qiang soldiers were arranged by the patriarch, and they also went down to arrange the generals, and only 10,000 soldiers were needed to attack the Yue clan, and the rest were on standby.
The sentinels sent by Yingbu were soldiers from the Central Plains after all, how could they find the people of the Qiang tribe, searched for many days, but finally returned in vain, Yingbu heard that there was no other way.
It took the Qiang generals two days to send the Qiang soldiers to the north of Qilian Mountain, and there is only one mountain between them and the Yue clan.
At this moment, Chen Ping was still in the Yue clan, and when he heard that the Qiang clan had moved away, he was helping the Yue clan plan the land in the future, and he was not aware of the potential crisis at all.
On the evening of the next day, 10,000 soldiers led by three Qiang soldiers crossed the high mountains between the two clans, and quietly came to the periphery of the Yue clan.
The Yue clan was originally not large, the total number of soldiers was only five thousand, and then there were other miscellaneous clansmen, up to 20,000 people, and the people who were sleeping saw someone attacking, and hurriedly abandoned the camp and fled.
Chen Ping and the patriarch of the Yue clan were in the middle of the clan land, and many elders were also around them, and when they heard the shouts and wails, several people went out of the tent at the same time.
"The patriarch is not good, there are Qiang soldiers attacking the camp, and the front is already unstoppable." A soldier shouted in a hurry.
The patriarch of the Yue clan was a little overwhelmed after hearing this, and looked at Chen Ping with some fear, "Sir, what is going on now?" As he spoke, the Qiang soldiers quickly spread throughout the camp.
"Don't worry, the patriarch should retreat first, let the soldiers break off, I don't know who is willing to fight with the Qiang tribe?" Chen Ping said and looked at the elders in front of him.
These people did not have a worried and frightened expression, but a look of indignation and revenge, "We are all willing to leave the Protector!" Several elders said in unison.
"So very good, I and the patriarch and others rushed to Yanzhi Mountain first, there is a Qin army, if these baggage can't be defended, there will be less fire, you will meet the battle quickly, the old, weak, sick and disabled, I will arrange." Chen Ping said anxiously.
Without waiting for the Yue clan patriarch to react, Chen Ping had already arranged everything, and many soldiers of the Yue clan wore battle robes and held sharp blades, and took the lead in facing the battle.
However, the rise of the killing of the Qiang soldiers, how can they be afraid of these people, the Qiang soldiers are really getting braver and braver, and the people of the Yue clan have not had time to arrange, and they have all become the souls of the clan.
Due to the ferocity of the Qiang tribe, the Yue clan was also defeated and retreated, and the five thousand soldiers were almost half injured in less than half an hour, while the Qiang soldiers were not in any major trouble.
Among the two sides, the Qiang people knew themselves and knew each other, grasped the opportunity, and it was difficult to win, and the whole battle lasted until dawn, and the Qiang soldiers directly chased the Yue clan to the north of Yanzhi Mountain, and only withdrew their troops after dozens of miles.
In addition, when the patriarch of the Qiang tribe heard that the Yue clan had fled, he immediately ordered the tribesmen to move to the north of Qilian Mountain, quickly set up camp, and the soldiers who chased them out quickly returned to the camp to rest their equipment and wait for the Qin army.
It is said that the Yue clan and the Qiang clan fought fiercely that night, but Chen Ping rushed to the vicinity of Yanzhi Mountain with many Yue clan people, and Yingbu heard that Chen Ping led the army to come, and his heart was naturally happy.
But when they arrived, they found that they were all old, weak, sick and disabled, the people of the Yue clan, Yingbu couldn't help frowning, and it took more than 1,000 Yue soldiers to rush over overnight, but the casualties were very serious.
The patriarch of the Qiang clan occupied the land of the Yue clan, and he was overjoyed, but he had a lot of confidence, thinking that he was in the wilderness some time ago, and he miscalculated in the fire attack, and now in such a snow-capped mountain land, the Qin army will be difficult to break.
When Yingbu saw so many people from the Yue Clan, he immediately summoned Chen Ping to the camp, and the two sat opposite each other, looking at each other speechlessly, "Why is Mr. like this?" Yingbu said, taking a sip of tea.
"The soldiers led by the general did not kill all the Qiang soldiers, but caused the people to flee to the north of the Qilian Mountains, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the Yue clan to attack at night, which inevitably caused some losses, although it was not the Qin army, it was still a pity." Chen Ping said slowly.
Thinking about this matter, although the Yue clan was defeated, Chen Ping fled back, and after thinking about it, it was still Yingbu who did not wipe out the Qiang soldiers, so when he heard Chen Ping say this, Yingbu lowered his head a little ashamedly.
"What does the gentleman think at the moment?" Yingbu asked in a low voice, originally wanting to taunt Chen Ping for a few words, but after listening to the reason, his face was a little more apologetic.
Chen Ping took a sip of tea, "Let's arrange the Yue clan first, I heard that although the former Qiang clan land was burned, there should be no problem with the residents, right?" With that, he immediately looked at Yingbu.
"There's no problem with this!" Yingbu said imposingly.
"In that case, let them move over tomorrow, and the remaining Yue Clan soldiers will be mixed with the Qin soldiers, so that the mission of the Yue Clan will be completed." Chen Ping said with a little meaning.
