When Tian Feng and Xu Huang defeated Cao's army with a young army in Henan, Deng Jizheng led the two armies of Weilie and Huya to encircle and suppress Budugen, Hudun and other Wuhuan Xianbei cavalry in Hanoi.

Yan Rou led the cavalry of the Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes to the south to attack and harass, and did not want to be too far away from Yuan Shao's forces, and did not enter the east of the river, and the army only looked for opportunities in Hanoi.

It was only after arriving in Hanoi that I found that Deng Ji's dock forts were everywhere, and the same was true in Hedong, those Han farmers and their wealth, food, and livestock were all hiding in the fort, and if they wanted to have a harvest, they had to knock open the hard dock fort shell, but the farmers relied on their bows and crossbows, wood and stones, boiling water, etc., to resist stubbornly, and gave them these horses who were not good at attacking forts a heavy blow, which was completely different from what was expected before.

As soon as they arrived in Hanoi, the Xianbei and Wuhuan riders who did not understand the inside story scattered to plunder, and after only two days, they all found that these dock forts were hard and difficult to bite, and the few people were completely useless to them, and the people had to come back at a great cost to break them, and a little harvest was filled with human lives, and the gains outweighed the losses.

Whether it is Wuhuan's Badun, Louban or Xianbei Kebineng and Budugen, there are not many warriors of their respective tribes at this time, and they are really distressed when they are immediately damaged under Mintunwu Fort, and they tentatively attack for two days, and Kebineng and other leaders have the intention of retreating.

No wonder Yuan Shao couldn't ride his own elite.

However, before the cavalry of the two clans could disperse, Tai Shi Ci led the Huya Army to Hanoi, and they also scattered to encircle and hunt down the invaders.

With the entanglement of the Huya Army, it will be much more difficult for the scattered alien cavalry to reassemble, and many squads will not be able to return to the establishment for the time being, and the speed of withdrawal will be slowed down.

Strangling with a small force and fighting in the belly of one's own home, the Huya Army has advantages in logistics supply, wounded recuperation, and intelligence acquisition, and even retreats to the dock fort to hold on to wait for reinforcements when it is disadvantaged. The Wuhuan and Xianbei cavalry were not as good as day by day, and when they went south, they only brought half a month's military rations, and they were expecting to rely on plundering supplies, but now they could not be plundered, and within a few days, the military rations became difficult.

Yan Rou and Ke Bi Neng and several of their leaders became agitated. Seeing that the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable, he had to choose to abandon some of his men and horses and forcibly retreat north.

The military rations are gradually difficult to maintain, Deng Ji's cavalry is not less than them, fighting in the enemy's hinterland, without the war horses is a dead end, even slaughtering the war horses to fill the army rations, the whole army can only hope to Yuan Shao, hoping that he will send troops to the party to meet the return journey. and provide grain.

Previously, Yuan Shao had conspired with him and others that when the cavalry of the two clans returned, they would send a large army to respond, and they wanted to return without making any contributions, although Yuan Shao was dissatisfied, but after all, it was foreign aid, and it would be useful everywhere in the future.

It's just that at this time, due to the inexplicable rebellion of Ma Chao and others, Cao Cao's invasion of Henan, and the long-term war everywhere, the soldiers of the four armies suffered huge losses. made Deng Ji hold back the anger in his heart, and he rarely came to the war in person now. Leading the troops to aid the Shangdang, that is, longing for a hearty fight to vent, after the Shangdang heard that Yuan Shaojun went south again, an evil fire finally found an outlet.

If you want to fight, you will fight, if you want to kill, you will be killed, etc.!

When Yuan's military entered the territory of the party, Deng Ji personally led the Black Iron Guard and the Weilie Army, who had been cultivating for more than half a month, to fight them. Like a mad dog, he bit and didn't let go, fighting back and forth several times, from the early morning to the end of the day, Yuan Shao's halberd soldiers were folded into more than 2,000 people, and the army had to get rid of it.

The mud-legged Deng Ji went crazy. Yuan Ben, the noble son of the Wang family, began to feel weak at the beginning, and since then the turtle has retreated back to Taiyuan, and he does not dare to take the next step south.

The Wuhuan tribes live in the north of Youzhou, and the Xianbei residence is vast, but the two departments of Budugen and Kebineng are in Hebei and the junction, Yan Rou still has some conscience, and did not flee to Yecheng with Badun and Louban alone through Hanoi, and took a shortcut to return home, but returned north with the Xianbei army of Kebineng and Budugen.

It's just that Yuan Shao has been killed and retreated, and he doesn't dare to go south again, and Deng Ji doesn't plan to let these foreign troops invade the abdomen go easily, so he widely distributes reconnaissance cavalry, and personally leads the Black Iron Guard, the Weilie Army, and the Wuwei Army to wait for them in Shangdang.

At this time, the armies of the two clans had no lasting food, and neither had the will to fight, and Deng Ji was prepared, which was not easier than when he went south before.

The armies of the two clans have not yet approached Shangdang, Deng Ji got the news, and made the first move, letting Pang Zhen defend the city, he led the army to raid, directly hitting the middle of the alien march, and Bandun and Kebineng were reluctant to abandon most of the children, so they could only turn back and fight.

After the two armies strangled for half an hour, the Huya Army also chased them to participate in the battle.

Half a day later, Xianbei and Wuhuan were defeated, and finally tens of thousands of horsemen were trapped on the top of the lonely mountain, and the Wuwei army built fences and dug ditches to besiege them, Deng Ji, Tai Shici, Zhang Liao, and Dian Wei sat in all directions, and Kebineng and other conflicts were not allowed to come out.

Three days later, the army ran out of food, and it was no longer possible to fight, and Kebineng had nothing to do, so he had to ask Yan Rou to come forward and ask for surrender in Deng's army.

After discussing with Xu Shu, Deng Ji agreed to let go of Kebineng, Budugen, Badun, and Louban each led more than ten guards to return, and the rest abandoned their weapons and dismounted to be captured, so that they could survive, and Yan Rou also needed to stay as a hostage.

Such harsh conditions, and the whole battle death is not much different, the four naturally do not follow, but Deng Ji promised not to want the lives of his clansmen, as long as the war horse is redeemed within half a year, it can be taken back, a qualified war horse is redeemed for one person, and the horse is not seen after the time limit, and the captured will be distributed to the meritorious soldiers to use as criminal slaves.

Although he was unwilling, but the military rations were exhausted, and he really couldn't fight anymore, and Kebi could wait for no other way, and the knife was on his neck, and he could only choose to admit it in the end.

Before Cao Cao was plotted with the new army of Henan teenagers, Tian Feng had already received a letter, and after the war, he had a letter to him, detailing various preparations and aftermath matters. Deng Ji is in the party, but he also knows that the four horse farms in Henan can only get up to 8,000 war horses at most, plus some in exchange for some among the people, it is barely enough for the youth army this time, and now the war horses under his rule are no longer enough.

The teenagers selected in advance for the attack on Cao Jun this time will not join the army and will be disbanded after the war, or they will have to wait until they reach the age of eighteen before they can join the army, but the horses, equipment, and armor given by the war will no longer be withdrawn, and Deng Ji will only be issued in advance, and these teenagers will no longer be given when they join the soldiers in the future.

Among the princes in the world, Deng Jima had the most, and there was no extra reserve of military horses until now.

If the cavalry of the Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes can be forced to surrender in Shangdang, there are 13,000 war horses captured before and after, and then they and other tribes are forced to hand over the same number of horses to ransom people, and they can get more than 10,000 more, and more than 23,000 new horses are obtained, which is enough to fill the military horse farm.

Xianbei and Wuhuan are now scarce, and the tribes captured by Deng Ji are the essence of the clan, and they can't be abandoned.

was invited to help Yuan Shao before, all to pick up some cheap money to replenish the tribe during the war, and he didn't want to wipe out the whole army. According to the Xianbei Wuhuan custom, the chief is called an adult, and the four adults are very depressed at this time.

The Wuhuan force is not as good as Xianbei, at the beginning, the two of them worked together to make up 8,000 horses to go south, and there were more than 4,000 people captured by Deng Ji, and it was not easy to get together another 4,000 good horses, but the Wuhuan clan was small, and there was no more infighting than Xianbei, and the two cousins worked together.

Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the state, the Central Plains to the border of the Han people who took refuge are very many, Kebi can do things fairly in the border area, willing to defect to a lot of Han people, over the years, these Han people gradually integrated into their tribes, also known as the Xianbei people, now his power in the Xianbei is also large, in exchange for more than 3,000 people under his command of the war horses will not be lacking, but this time the defeat is too miserable, his prestige in the border is afraid to plummet.

The most difficult of the four is Bu Dugen, the tribe under his command is far inferior to Kebineng, this time I also heard Yan Rou say that Kebi can send out 8,000 horsemen to help Yuan Shao, he doesn't want to admit defeat, and he also uses nearly 1,000 old and weak to make up the number, and it takes a lot of effort to make up 8,000 people, even if he exchanges the nearly 3,000 sons who were captured, it is also a big loss of vitality. Moreover, for this expedition, the high-class war horses in the tribe have been exhausted, and there is no superfluity, even if it is too late to organize people to glove wild horses immediately after going back.

However, the Budugen family has been a Xianbei dignitary for generations, and there is a lot of foreign aid, and his own brother Fu Luohan is another major adult in Xianbei, and his power is better than Kebineng, and he may be able to ask for help at a critical moment.

Kebineng, Budugen, Badun, and Lou Ban all hated Yuan Shao for regretting not saving him, and when he got free, he didn't go to Yuan's army, and they each found their way home.

――

Deng Ji was captured into the party, and Pang Zhen couldn't help but congratulate him.

Since Ma Chao and others rebelled in Liangzhou, Deng Ji fought on three sides, and the nerves of the upper and lower people were all tense, and now the Xiliang rebellion is gradually subsided, Cao Cao was defeated in Henan, and Yuan Shao's foreign aid was also wiped out, and the battle situation has gradually become clear, and he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

It's just that at the same time, after repeated hard battles, the huge losses of the soldiers of the Huya, Dangkou, Weilie, Xiaocai, and Wuwei also made Deng Ji feel extremely distressed.

In the next two or three years, not to mention the formation of new armies, it would be good to be able to replenish all armies.

At present, Cao Cao has been defeated and foreign aid has been defeated, Deng Ji has completely let go of his hands and feet, does Yuan Shao, who is cowering in Taiyuan, still have the determination to continue to fight to the death?

Kebineng waited five days after leaving, Deng Ji and Xu Shu sent Yuan Jun to pass on the original message and ask him if he was fighting.

Cao Cao has been defeated, the foreign reinforcements have also been destroyed, if the Xiao cavalry army crosses the north to help, his own family will have to face Deng Ji several strong armies alone, the original really did not dare to fight again, although did not reply to Deng Ji, but ordered the state reinforcements that were still on the road to turn around and return to the mainland, he himself also retreated to Yecheng, and the state left high cadres to garrison.

After Yuan Shao withdrew, Deng Ji also ordered the Panshi army besieging Yecheng to retreat to Hanoi, the Wuwei army to return to Hedong, and his own army to return to Luoyang, ready to rest and recuperate, and then choose an army to go to Xiping Hansui.

It's just that the reinforcements have not yet been sent to Xiliang, there is a report from the north, Yuan Shao has let the state again, the high-level army has also been recalled to Yecheng, and Pang Zhen sent troops to occupy Taiyuan.

Deng Ji got the report, and he was sluggish for a long time, and Fang said to Tian Feng: "Such a big thing, why didn't Pang Shuangji send someone to sue me?" Zhang Yan's lessons from the past, how can he not notice it? ”

A few days later, Tanma reported that Pang Zhen's army marched all the way north, but Yuan's army did not resist, allowing it to occupy the four counties of Xihe, Dingxiang and Yanmen!

Tian Feng was also speechless, but after Xu Shu thought hard, he suddenly exclaimed: "Yuan Shao did this, not only to separate Pang Zhen and the lord, but also to go south to Cao Cao!" (To be continued......)
