However, to Wei Yan's surprise, the battle went exceptionally smoothly.

The formation that Chen Zhi taught to the Bai Yu soldiers was extraordinary, and the two thousand Bai Yu soldiers rushed into the formation of eight thousand Hun cavalry, but each Hun cavalry felt that they were facing three Bai Yu soldiers from three sides at the same time.

Three chopping swords fly up and down, a chopping sword against the waist knife of the Hun cavalry, a person cuts off the leg of the Hun cavalry, the Hun soldiers fall from the horse, and immediately have a chopping sword to behead it, the division of labor is clear, each takes its strengths, and cooperates extremely skillfully.

The Hun cavalry fell into Chen's formation, and the white soldiers lived up to their reputation.

The advantage of the cavalry lies in the benefits produced when moving, once it stands still, it is by no means the enemy of the heavy infantry, and the Hun soldiers who were stirred up by the white wave thieves were tortured by the white soldiers of Chen Zhi to be vulnerable.

Chen Zhi led Bai Yu's soldiers to attack the Hun cavalry, and Guan Hai also led 10,000 infantry to attack and kill.

Hu Cai saw that the situation was not good, so he wanted to drive the rear army to rush forward and kill.

At this moment, the white wave thief in front ran over: "Dashuai, it's not good!" We are surrounded by officers and soldiers! ”

Hu Cai looked around at this time, and saw the smoke and dust billowing on both sides, and it seemed that tens of thousands of cavalry had outflanked him, intending to wipe out the white wave thieves. ! ”

Wei Yan's generals, Tai Shici and Dian Wei, wielded spears and halberds, each led 3,000 cavalry, rushed out from both sides of the river beach, and outflanked the flanks and flanks of the white wave thieves.

In accordance with Wei Yan's instructions, the six thousand cavalry tied branches to the tail of their horses, galloped over, and pulled up the smoke and dust in the air.

Hu Cai's face turned green, he didn't think about how the Wei army could have such cavalry, he was frightened and ran in the direction of Taihang, he hoped to get the help of Zhang Yan of Montenegro to get out of the encirclement.

Wei Yan had already seen the big fat man in brocade clothes in the rear army of the White Wave Thieves, and saw that he was heavily protected by the Yellow Turban Warriors, and thought that he should be the White Wave Thief Qu Shuai Hu Cai, seeing that Hu Cai was panicked and wanted to escape, Wei Yan hurriedly urged the black horse to chase after him urgently.

The more than 1,000 Yellow Turban wrestlers around Hu Cai rushed up and blocked Wei Yan's way.

Wei Yan's red blood knife swung out, as if a hurricane swept by, rolling up a bloody rain, and the broken flesh and blood flew in the air, how could these yellow turban wrestlers seem to have taken some kind of medicine, their expressions are manic, they scream, and they rushed up without fear of death, and they were killed by Wei Yan, and a group rushed over.

Wei Yan saw that he couldn't clash in a short time, but Hu Cai had already slapped his horse and walked away, so he took the bow from his back, pulled out the iron arrow from the quiver, stretched the bow and set up the arrow, and with a whoosh, the arrow feather slashed through the sky, shot two hundred steps, castration unabated, poof, shot Hu Cai's shoulder blade, slammed, shot through the brocade robe, flesh and blood splashed, hurt muscles and bones, Hu Cai's arm suddenly hung down, and the big knife he held fell to the ground with a bang.

Hu Cai was so frightened that he quickly lay down on the saddle, and under the escort of Hu Cai and others, he ran all the way to the northern mountains.

Yang Xian, under the protection of hundreds of Yellow Turban wrestlers under his command, fled northwest in a panic.

The other white wave thieves saw Qu Shuai fleeing, their morale plummeted, and they knelt on the ground and surrendered in the sound of "surrender and don't kill" that resounded through the field.

Hu Chuquan saw that Hu Cai had fled, and he expected that it would be difficult to scream alone, so he hurriedly whistled and beckoned the Hun cavalry to retreat, and he was ready to lead this group of Hun cavalry to flee north, and fled back to Meisu, the southern Hun garrison, but most of the cavalry under his command were fettered by the invincible camp of the Bai Yu soldiers, and they couldn't pull out at all, Hu Chuquan didn't dare to turn around to save them, so he had to lead a few personal guards cavalry and fled north in a hurry.

When Wei Yan saw Huchuquan fleeing in a hurry, he asked people to shout in Xiongnu: "Shan Yu fled to the north, disarm and don't kill!" Flee to the north alone, disarm and don't kill! ”

The Hun cavalry trapped in the Bai Yu soldiers looked back to the north blankly, and sure enough, they saw that Hu Chuquan saw that the situation was not good, left the Hun brothers and fled, the morale of the Hun soldiers plummeted, and they did not have the fighting spirit to continue fighting, so they dismounted and asked for surrender.

Wei Yan ordered the Bai Yu soldiers to stop the killing, and asked Chen Zhi to lead people to collect and surrender the Bai Bo thieves and the Hun cavalry.

Wei Yan gathered Tai Shi Ci and Dian Wei's subordinates, commanded more than 10,000 cavalry, and with the cooperation of 10,000 infantry in Guanhai, he took advantage of the victory to pursue the fleeing Baibo thieves and Hun cavalry.

After chasing for a few miles, I saw a lot of smoke and dust in front of me, flashing out thousands of cavalry, the thousands of cavalry lined up in an array, and the formation was not scattered in the slightest between the flying horses, but there was the momentum of thousands of troops and horses galloping.

The first general has a face like bronze, silkworm eyebrows and deer eyes, short hair under the chin, majestic and mighty, galloping, wielding a big axe, and shouting: "Baibo rebel, where to go!" ”

Yang Xian was caught off guard and was cut off by the general with an axe.

The general leaped down from his horse, cut down with an axe, and beheaded Yang Xian.

The general carried Yang Xian's head, hung it on the saddle, and then leaped on his horse, picked up the big axe, galloped vertically and horizontally, and killed Yang Xian's guards in all directions.

The general was Xu Huang, who Wei Yan had previously sent to Hedong to cut off the grain route of the White Wave Thief, and he killed Yang Feng's brother Yang Xian with an axe.

Shortly thereafter, news came from the front army that Hu Cai led the rout of the white wave thieves and fled back to the Baibo Valley in Hedong County, the Xiongnu Dadan fled back to Meisu in Huchuquan, and Huchuquan gathered 50,000 Xiongnu coalition troops and prepared to go south, unite with Hu Cai and the white wave thieves, and deal with the Wei army together.

At this time, Yuan Shao was concentrating his forces to deal with Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan, Cao Cao was concentrating his forces to deal with Lü Bu, and Liu Biao was also entangled in the battle situation in the south and had no spare strength to deal with Wei Yan, which was a great opportunity for Wei Yan to capture Hedong County.

What kind of place is Hedong County, there is the benefit of salt and iron! The iron ore in Wenxi County, Hedong County, is a famous large iron mine, and there is a natural salt pond within a radius of 100 miles in Anyi County, Hedong County, which produces natural crystalline salt that can be eaten without processing, and the salt here is inexhaustible.

Moreover, there are a large number of copper mines in the hinterland of Zhongtiao Mountain in the north of Hedong County, which is known as the largest underground copper mine in China, and the financial system in these years is the copper standard, and the importance of copper mines is greater than that of gold mines.

It can be said that if you can occupy Hedong County, you can arm an army of 100,000.

Therefore, Wei Yan decided to finish the battle and wipe out all the Southern Xiongnu and White Wave thieves and occupy Hedong!

During the march, Wei Yan gathered all the military divisions and senior generals, and while marching on horseback, they discussed how to truly weaken the power of the Southern Xiongnu.

In Wei Yan's mind, the elimination of the 50,000 cavalry in Huchuquan was just the beginning, and how to weaken or even completely eradicate the Southern Xiongnu was what Wei Yan really wanted to do.

Wei Yan first asked Xu Shu, who was in charge of military intelligence: "Yuan Zhi, can you tell us some about this Southern Xiongnu first?" ”
