493 Steppe Wars
As Jia Xu expected, Qubei is a smart man, in the current situation, even if he is unwilling, but under the siege of 120,000 imperial warriors, in the face of the harsh conditions proposed by Luan Yi, he has to choose to bow his head.
He prostrate at Luan Yi's feet, accepted Luan Yi's coronation, and signed his name in the national deed, agreeing to divide the Xiongnu into five, allowing the Holy Chinese Empire to build cities and garrisons in the territory of the Xiongnu, and at the same time handed over his eldest son to Luan Yi, so that he could return to the Central Plains with the imperial army after the war and go to the Imperial University Hall to study.
The Southern Xiongnu Empire, which had dominated for a hundred years, has since existed in name only.
The end of the Xiongnu affairs is a good start. Luan Yi left 30,000 soldiers and 50,000 people in the Xiongnu to complete the follow-up construction of the city. He led the army to chase all the way in the direction of Kebineng's retreat, while Lu Bu led the army on the eastern road, leaving the Xianbei royal court of Danshi Mountain and advancing westward.
The armies of the East and West finally succeeded in blocking Kebineng and his 130,000-strong army in the wilderness less than five miles from Gaxian Cave.
Kebi could see that there was no way out, so he had to raise a military formation and fight to the death with the Central Plains people in front of him.
In autumn, the grassland, where more than 200,000 people gather, is unusually quiet and gives people a restless feeling. The sound of horses' hooves stomping on the ground from time to time makes people nervous.
The stalemate lasted for about half a burnt of incense, and the two armies completed the deployment of their corps at the same time. War drums and trumpets rang out at the same time.
Today's Luan Yi changed into a golden armor, and he leaned over and patted the neck of the 24-year-old Dune. According to the age of the horse, 24 years old is the twilight of the horse, and many people suggested that he change another one, but he was always reluctant. Dune has been by his side since he was born, and has been fighting with him in the north and south for nearly ten years, taking him to dodge fatal blows several times. It can be said that Dune is not only his mount, but also his friend and life-saving benefactor.
He knew his friend and knew that it was made for war. So he wants Dune to take it to the battlefield one more time before he dies, and it's Dune's last battle, and it's his last. The country has been decided, and as an emperor, he is afraid that he will not have the opportunity to personally lead the troops in the future. "Old man. You and I join forces and behave again! ”
"Roar", Dune's eyes suddenly bloomed with infinite brilliance, and in its unique way, he roared and nodded.
"Thunder Drum, march!" Luan Yi gave an order, and tens of thousands of imperial warriors shouted in unison: "For the glory of the Holy Mother." ”
The cavalry in front of them took leisurely steps and slowly started, followed by a resolute-looking infantry army.
Under their cover, the sappers drove the mules and horses to pull the earthen cannons behind them with difficulty, and stopped abruptly when they were two hundred paces away from the Xianbei army. "Putting ......"
The 300 artillery pieces of the eastern and western armies erupted at the same time, throwing 300 explosives into the Xianbei army.
The brilliant sparks of "Boom Boom Boom ......" stirred up a chain reaction, and the red blood spread out in the sea of people like a farewell rose.
Rao had heard of the power of gunpowder, and Kebi was so frightened to see this scene, not to mention the ordinary Xianbei soldiers who didn't even know what the meaning of "explosion" was.
What made the Xianbei people even more passive was that the war horses of the Central Plains people had obviously undergone special training, so they were not afraid of the rumbling sound of gunpowder explosions. After witnessing the grand scene of blasting and listening to the rumbling blasting sound, out of the primitive instinct of animals to be extremely afraid of the unknown, tens of thousands of Xianbei war horses were frightened, ignoring the rider's instructions and scurrying around.
The Xianbei army was in chaos for a moment.
At this time, the drumbeat in the Holy Huaxia Imperial Army became much sharper, "For the glory of the Holy Mother, kill and kill......" The original low-speed march, the imperial cavalry with the pace of the letter pavilion began to speed up, "Da, da", the speed is getting faster and faster, faster and faster, the speed of the horse is mentioned to the extreme within a few breaths, a gust of wind rushes towards the Xianbei army formation, seventy steps away from the Xianbei people, with the order of the main general, the front row of cavalry took out the handmelon in the net pocket from the backpack behind the back, And skillfully ignite the lead with a lighter.
"Vote." Thousands of handmelons were taken off at the same time and fell into the Xianbei front line as if facing a great enemy.
The explosion sounded again, and the defensive array that the Xianbei had just reassembled was blown to pieces in the blast.
The Imperial Iron Cavalry took advantage of the situation to enter, and the steel cone generally pierced several passages in the sea of people, and like a rake plowing the ground, it had to kill countless ravines.
The infantry followed, their sharp knives opening and closing, and each sword would take a life.
The Xianbei people who were against them could not see the faces of the Central Plains people under the cover of metal masks. But those bloodshot angry eyes gave them a terrifying feeling.
Although they were afraid, they thought of the hundreds of Xianbei tribes that had been slaughtered by the Central Plains not long ago, and the relatives, parents, wives and children who had been with them day and night were brutally murdered, and the flames of hatred rose in the chests of the Xianbei people, replacing cowardice and cowardice.
They resisted bare-eyed and at the cost of their lives to avenge their loved ones. A humble pawn moth rushed at one of the Imperial Defenders like a flame, allowing them to slash their sharp knives into his shoulders. His mouth was covered in blood, and he grabbed the guard's blade with both hands, preventing him from retracting it. At the same time, another Xianbei soldier leapt to his feet and slashed his blade at the back of the Imperial Defender.
There was a crisp "bang", and the Imperial Defender fell to the ground with serious injuries, and at the moment before he died, he twisted the handle of the knife in his hand, and completely sent the Xianbei pawn in front of him down to the Yellow Spring, turned over and waved, and cut off the head of the person who sneaked up behind him. At this moment, a Xianbei cavalryman struck by, and the heavy hooves of the horse stepped on his high chest, trampling his cuirass and chest to a mess, and spurting blood to death.
The battle became more and more fierce as time went on, and after half an hour, more than 30,000 Xianbei soldiers fell on the yellowed meadows, and the Empire suffered fewer casualties, but more than 7,000 were killed and wounded.
Seeing that the casualty toll was still growing rapidly, but he was unable to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, Luan Yi was anxious. It is true that the Empire has won many battles since it became a gunpowder weapon, but because the gunpowder weapons are still in their primitive state, their great power is limited to offensive and annihilation battles. In the field, due to the limited mobility and slow reloading, its performance was lackluster, and the battle mainly relied on white-knuckle combat.
But if a hundred people are involved, no matter how strong the armor is and how sharp the blade is, it is inevitable to kill 1,000 enemies and lose 300.
"Damn it!" Seeing the soul of an imperial defender reside in the grassland outside the Saiwai and never return to his hometown, Luan Yi's chest burned like a fire. "Big brother, Lao He! The target is Xianbei handsome flag, and he will rush into battle with me. ”
Luan Yi slammed the horse's belly, the front hooves of the sand dunes left the ground, leaped, "roared", and rushed down the mountain like a tiger into the enemy group.
Luan Yi's lotus hammer swung sharply to the left, and the two Xianbei pawns were hit by a car when they boarded, flying out more than ten steps and vomiting blood and falling to the ground. The sledgehammer took advantage of the momentum to swing right, and a set of left and right wild horses killed five people in a row.
The dune war horse and Luan Yi are integrated into one, and they are like bulldozers fighting their way through the Xianbei crowd.
The soldiers of the surrounding empires saw that His Majesty the Pope actually went into battle in person, and their morale rose in an instant, "Long live His Majesty the Pope, long live." ”
Ma Chao, Guan Yu, and Xiahou Yuan on the left flank, and Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Zhang Fei on the right flank, led troops to attack desperately.
In the Eastern Front Army, Lu Bu rode the red rabbit to take the lead, leading Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, and Gao Ran to rush for their lives, and there was no general in the place where he passed.
Driven by Luan Yi, people from all walks of life in the empire threaded needles and threads among the Xianbei crowd like spider silk, and the dots pointed directly at Kebineng, who was seriously injured in the Xianbei army. Qu Wen, who followed Kebineng's side, was shocked, "Resist, resist me." ”
The Xianbei general Galian was also surprised, he ran up a small dirt slope, watched the situation from afar, and looked at the golden armor timepiece that he saw in the sun from the east. "Capture the thief and capture the king first, as long as Luan Yisheng can be captured alive, why worry that the soldiers and horses of the Central Plains will not retreat?"
Thinking of this, Galian resolutely climbed on the war horse and waved his sword, "Follow me if you are not afraid of death." The horse's hooves rattled and disappeared.
Seeing Galian running, Kebi could immediately guess the purpose of his trip, "Galian is back, you are not Luan Ziqi's opponent." ”
However, on the battlefield where the shouts of killing and drumming were incessant, the weak words he shouted were like mosquitoes humming, and as soon as the words came out, they were swallowed up by the noisy noise, and Galian, who was a hundred paces away, could not hear them at all.
Galian turned into a whirlwind and rushed straight towards Luan Yi. I have to say that Galian is also a first-class warrior among the Xianbei people, and his riding and archery skills are particularly outstanding. I saw him draw a bow and arrow when he was a hundred steps away from Luan Yi, and he jumped three steps in a row, and Luan Yi's tall figure was much clearer in his sight.
"Luan Ziqi, suffer death!"
At this moment of crisis, Luan Yi's eyes found a cold light, which shot straight into his chest like a meteor. "Not good...... There are stray arrows. When it was too late, Luan Yi leaned forward suddenly, grabbed the back of a Xianbei soldier's neck and lifted him up with one hand, and actually used the Xianbei man's body to block the arrows shot by Jia Lian. Then, like throwing a rag bag, he threw the Xianbei pawn into the Xianbei crowd and smashed over a group of enemy pawns.
"A shameless villain dares to hurt people with a secret arrow. Death. Luan Yi was not polite, grabbed a discus from his waist, didn't look at it, and threw it casually. The discus discus was like a flying saucer, spiraling and sliding out in a strange curve.
Galian saw a black mass rushing towards his door. In a hurry, he hurriedly blocked with a horizontal knife. There was a crisp sound, and although Galian was lucky to knock the discus away, the distance contained in the discus was like a tide, and the huge rebound force smashed the back of the knife backwards, hitting the bridge of Galian's nose.
"Hmm!" Galen's face was dyed in the first place, and his nose and cheeks were covered with blood. His eyes were red, and he couldn't stop choking tears.
