Chapter 463: Horse Treading Bullet Sweat Mountain
More than a month has passed since the swearing-in Northern Expedition to Yinshan, although the armies of all walks of life have regained a lot of lost ground, but because the main force of Xianbei has never been seen, Wei Shuo's hanging heart has not been put down.
The decisive battle with the Xianbei people has reached the point where it cannot be delayed. Every day that drags on, although it will cause trouble to the Xianbei people, but hundreds of thousands of Liaodong troops gather on the grassland, which is not the same and produces huge consumption?
What's more, a powerful Xianbei tribe is not in the interests of Liaodong, it has always been a threat to Liaodong, coupled with the irreconcilable contradictions between Hu and Han over the years, it is time to settle this account.
As the saying goes, how can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch?
In Wei Shuo's heart, Tuoba Xianbei is the vicious wolf who is eyeing the tiger, ready to find an opportunity to bite Liaodong at any time.
If you don't take advantage of the good opportunity to eradicate it, you have to worry about the guard Shuo all day long, and worry about the Xianbei Iron Cavalry going south at any time.
Wei Shuo made up his mind, and the soldiers and horses of the Quartet immediately moved. In this Shengle City, it also became extremely lively all of a sudden, and the armies from all walks of life were mobilized one after another.
In addition to leaving Mo Han and Sun Wei to garrison Shengle, Wei Shuo personally commanded 50,000 iron cavalry, and the three generals of Chen An, Ji Tang, and Duan Wenyang passed through Shenhe and advanced to Danhan Mountain in the northeast.
In the early period of the Later Han Dynasty, most of the Xianbei people were still attached to the Xiongnu. With the decline of the Northern Xiongnu, the Xianbei talents gradually rose. After the Northern Xiongnu moved westward, the Xianbei people occupied the Mobei Plateau and conquered the remnants of the Xiongnu tribes by force, so that the Xianbei people gradually became stronger.
After Tanshihuai unified the tribe, he established a tooth tent on the bank of the Qiushui River (now Dongyang River) under the Danhan Mountain more than 300 miles north of Gaoliu, rejected Ding Ling in the north, defeated Fuyu in the east, attacked Wusun in the west, and Kouhan in the south, and held the Xiongnu's hometown in his hands and became the new overlord on the grassland outside the Saiwai.
Today's Danhan Mountain has long lost the glory of the Han Dynasty, since the Tanshi Huai, and after the Lian Xianbei tribe was divided, the Danhan Mountain royal court also declined. However, Danhan Mountain still has an unusual status in the minds of Xianbei people.
"Lord, in front of you is Danhan Mountain, where the original Xianbei royal court is located." Wen Qiao pointed to the Danhan Mountain Road looming in the distance
Wei Shuo rode on his horse and looked in the direction of Danhan Mountain. The tall figure, as thick as a mountain, and the Liaodong Iron Cavalry behind him were all quiet, quietly waiting for Da Sima to give the order to attack.
Attacking Danhan Mountain to lead Tuoba Yulu to the south for a decisive battle was a strategy set by Wei Shuo after consulting with everyone. The opponent facing Liaodong this time will be Tuoba Yulu, who swears to fight to the death, and when he thinks of the hundreds of thousands of Hu horses in Mo Nan rolling south like locusts, Wei Shuo can't help but feel numb in his scalp.
"Pass my general order: Duan Wenyang and Ji Tang will each command the four-compartment cavalry to outflank from the left and right flanks, and the rest of the people will kill with me to Danhan Mountain. Remember! All the Hulu tribes encountered along the way were immediately killed, and they tried to sweep away the tribes near Danhan Mountain in the shortest possible time. ”
Because the Xianbei people live by nomadism, they migrate and settle down with the water and grass. Therefore, even though the Tuoba tribe has a large population, there are not many tribes distributed near Danhan Mountain, and the war is imminent, some tribes have already followed Tuoba Yulu north to Monan, and now they are only the old, weak, sick and disabled.
When the Liaodong Army raided, it was evening, and the Xianbei people who had just returned from grazing were busy preparing dinner, where did they think that the Liaodong Army would kill them?
The roar of war horses suddenly resounded through the heavens and the earth, and it was heard far away in the empty and endless grassland. Feeling the shaking of the earth, the Xianbei people raised their heads in confusion and looked into the distance, but saw the smoke and dust billowing from the south, and the Xianbei people's faces suddenly changed greatly, and they immediately blew a terrible horn.
Da-da-da-da! The sound of iron hooves stepping on the ground became more and more urgent from far and near, gradually approaching the Xianbei tribe. The 50,000 Liaodong Iron Horsemen raised their sabers high, glowing with a penetrating cold light in the setting sun, and appeared near the horizon like a group of ghosts.
The striker Chen An took the lead, roared like a huge thunder, swept across the grassland like lightning, and broke into the Xianbei camp.
Without saying a word, Chen An rushed into the crowd, with knives and spears in his left and right hands, flying up and down, cutting down all the Xianbei people in front of him to the ground, leaving a broken limb and stump where he passed, killing the Xianbei camp for a riot.
The Xianbei people who hurriedly met the battle reacted quite quickly and jumped on their horses one after another.
At this time, Wei Shuo had already killed the main force of the cavalry, and he saw the sword light shining, like a dragon going out to sea, bringing up pieces of blood light. The cold ring-headed knife flashed with a faint cold glow, and the sharp knife edge took advantage of the momentum of the war horse's sprint, and it was very easy to slash into Hu Lu's body, making a pop! Poof! The sound, followed by a terrible scream, began to be heard endlessly.
Liaodong Iron Cavalry rushed into the panicked Xianbei crowd, waving the sword, flying up and down, a puff of blood flying, one by one Xianbei people were cut to the ground, wantonly harvesting the heads of Xianbei people.
Woooooo The desolate and distant horn sounded continuously, which was the first time that the royal court had been attacked since Tanshi Huai established the royal court of Danhan Mountain.
In the past 100 years, only the Xianbei people have gone south to plunder and slaughter the people of the Central Plains. Not to mention the horse stepping on the Khan Mountain? Countless pessimistic and desperate Xianbei people sat helplessly on the grass, watching the holy land in the minds of Xianbei people turn to ashes.
A tribal leader tried to organize a counterattack under his command, but was caught up by Duan Wenyang, and the spear pierced the opponent's throat directly, blood spilled on the ground, and the body fell to the ground.
After Duan Wenyang killed the leader who tried to resist, he continued to rush forward and kill, and the spear in his hand kept picking and stabbing, and suddenly set off a bloody storm, and there was no enemy at all where he passed.
The leaderless Xianbei people at the foot of Danhan Mountain could not organize effective resistance at all, and could only let the Liaodong Iron Cavalry trample and ravage back and forth. After a while, the blood flowed at the foot of Danhan Mountain, like Shura Hell, and the holy land Danhan Mountain in the minds of Xianbei people was burned down by the Liaodong people.
The fire burned for a whole day and a night, and the hometown of the royal city, which Tanshihuai spent several years of painstaking efforts to build, was burned by the Liaodong Army.
The Xianbei royal court of Danhan Mountain ceased to exist.
After two consecutive rounds of killing, the Xianbei tribe left behind at the foot of Danhan Mountain was killed and wounded.
In this battle, the Liaodong Army killed more than 20,000 Xianbei people, and only a few escaped the pursuit.
The war broke out suddenly, and ended quickly. The strength of the enemy and us is not at the same level, as the Xianbei people are far away in the southern grassland, the tribes left behind in Danhan Mountain are simply unable to resist the 50,000 Liaodong iron cavalry rushing and killing, and the Liaodong army is far superior to the Xianbei people left behind in terms of equipment and combat effectiveness.
When the screams gradually stopped, Wei Shuo strolled on the battlefield, his thoughts already drifting into the distance.
He wondered if Tuoba Yulu had already learned the news that he would go to the grassland on the dam in person, and had he already led Mo Nan Zhuhu to the south?
……
"Damn, fight with the Liaodong people,"
"Damn the Jin people, they didn't even let go of women and children, they are going to kill them all."
"Da Danyu, we can't wait like this any longer, we must go south as soon as possible to fight a decisive battle with the Liaodong Army, otherwise it won't be long before the tribes left behind at the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain will be slaughtered by the Liaodong Army. In the future, even if we defeat the Liaodong Army, but without the tribe, the population is not the same, and there is no way out? ”
In the past few days, as the battle situation in the south of Yinshan has been coming, the Tuoba tribe that has been waiting for news on the grassland of Yinshan has been completely boiling, and most of the tribal generals have been angered by the ruthless methods of the Liaodong army, and they have shouted for Tuoba Yulu to go south as soon as possible.
However, Tuoba Yulu only sat with a gloomy face, not moved at all, he did underestimate the means of the Liaodong Army, and no one expected that after the main force of Xianbei retreated in great strides, the Liaodong Army actually took the opportunity to start a strong integration of the tribes at the southern foot of Yinshan.
And because those who were left behind were the old, weak, sick and disabled, they were unable to resist the Liaodong Army at all, and a large number of Xianbei tribes were scattered and reorganized by the Liaodong Army, and countless clansmen died under the iron hooves of Liaodong. What's even more odious is that the Liaodong Army actually burned down Danhan Mountain, even if Danhan Mountain is no longer the royal court of the Xianbei people, it still has a different status in the hearts of Xianbei people.
After a long time, Tuoba Yulu solemnly asked Murong Hao for advice: "Leader Murong, what do you think?" (To be continued.) )
