In late May of the first year of Yongchang, Wei Shuo, in his capacity as the Sima of the Jin Dynasty, announced the final battle against Hulu. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xie Ai, Beigong Chun, and Wei Xiong respectively commanded 50,000 soldiers, and their troops went south in three ways, preparing to clear the troubles in one fell swoop.

Before the war, Wei Shuo, Mo Han and Wen Qiao carefully planned, and knew the distribution of Qianhu's troops in Jizhou well, and the various raid paths were repeatedly explored and confirmed.

The most important thing is that Liaodong has already sent dozens of teams of "scouts" to various parts of Hebei, in the name of inquiring about news, but in fact, it is to contact the pioneers of various Hebei families for Liaodong.

The general deployment of the Liaodong Army was: Wei Shuo sat in Gaoyang, and at the same time organized horse teams and ox carts to transport supplies for the army; Beigong Chun led 50,000 cavalry to raid the two counties of Boling and Anping from the middle road; Xie Ai's department took Yao Yizhong as the vanguard, and the army went south from Zhongshan to the two counties of Zhao and Julu; The Weixiong Department marched westward from Leling and took the two counties of Pingyuan and Qinghe.

In the end, after the completion of the Jizhou raid, the final goal of the three-way army was Xiangguo City.

In order to prevent the southern escape of the Qianhu, the Weixiong Department of the East Road will also go straight to Yecheng to cut off the retreat route of the southern escape of the Qianhu.

In the same month, the governor Mao Bao was stationed in Xuchang, and the troops were directed at Yuzhou. Originally, the conquest of the governor Sun Wei was to go south to Xuzhou, but he didn't expect Kui'an to be appeased by the imperial court and get the title of Xuzhou Assassin, which gave Sun Wei a headache. He didn't dare to act rashly, so he had to make preparations for the expedition while asking Da Sima for instructions.

On May 20, the Liaodong Army marched south to fight the first battle against Boling Kingdom, which opened the prelude to clearing the troubles.

The 50,000-foot cavalry set off from Gaoyang County and flew to Boling, which was adjacent to the south. However, in one night, the Liaodong army arrived at Raoyang City on the bank of the Hutuo River.

After a short rest and rest, the Liaodong Army set out at the fifth watch, and just when the sky was about to dawn, the roaring thunder suddenly exploded outside Raoyang City.

The defenders of the Qianghu, who had already been frightened, were suddenly attacked, and hurriedly responded to the battle, but after only half an hour, they could not resist the enemy, and they all took the road and fled to the giant deer in the southwest. Who knew that after fleeing south for two days in a row, the Qianhu cavalry, known as a fierce and good rider, was stunned and could not get rid of the fierce pursuit and fierce attack of the Liaodong iron cavalry.

In a hurry, many of the generals decided that they could no longer let the Liaodong people chase their buttocks, otherwise everyone would not be able to escape the pursuit of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry. On the other hand, if you fight hard to overcome it in one fell swoop, you may be able to hope for your life.

As a result, several Qiang Hu generals relied on the mainland Ze and gathered more than 20,000 people from all the Qiang people under their command to fight to the death with Beigong Chunbu.

Beigong Chun saw that he was fighting to the death and did not retreat, and immediately understood the secret, and at the same time ordered the forward army to bite the main force of Qianhu, he immediately handed over the infantry to Jia Jian's command, and he personally led 30,000 cavalry to the south to participate in the battle.

Three days later, the two armies, totaling more than 50,000 cavalry, launched a desperate battle on the vast plains north of the mainland.

After a fierce battle for half a day, the Qianhu cavalry suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and the rest fled south in a hurry.

Beigong Chun handed over the task of cleaning the battlefield to Jia Jian, and he did not hesitate to personally lead 20,000 iron cavalry to the south to chase the Qianhu cavalry. After several days of pursuit, the two sides engaged three or four times, and the two sides were bound to lose every battle, so they could only flee from the wind.

When the scorching summer was coming, Beigong Chunbu in the middle road had already chased to the border between Si and Hebei, and it was only a few hundred miles away from Xiangguo City in the west, so Beigong Chun ordered to stop the pursuit.

The Middle Route Army led by Beigong Chun wiped out tens of thousands of Karma Hu in a battle, which immediately shocked the Karma Everywhere.

When the news came from the mainland, Wei Shuo laughed and admired the results of the Middle Route Army!

He said to Wen Qiao, who was sorting out military affairs: "Among the generals in Liaodong, if you want to fight before the battle, Beigong Chun, Chen An, and Duan Wenyang should be the most. But when it comes to the battle of the unified army, the brave offensive is none other than Beigong Chun. Beigong Chun commanded the cavalry to fight just like him went into battle to kill the enemy, the momentum was majestic and unmatched! ”

"Fully showed the outside world what it means to be vigorous, you see that Xie Ai and Wei Xiong, who sent troops at the same time as him, have not made any moves, and his side has already hit the border of Sizhou."

Wen Qiao saw Beigong Chun praising Beigong Chun like this, for fear that Xie Ai and Wei Xiong would be upset when they heard it, so they hurriedly said: "Lord, General Beigong's soldiers are brave, this is his unique talent, and outsiders can't learn it if they want to." ”

But Xie Ai and Wei Xiong are not ordinary people, especially Xie Ai, his use of soldiers can be described as a trick. At first, I didn't feel powerful, but it didn't dawn on me until I fell into the calculation. ”

And General Wei Xiong is mature and steady, and leading the troops to fight is also to win steadily. Although he rarely won big battles, he made me wait for the most reassuring. I think it won't be long before there will be good news from the eastern and western armies! ”

Sure enough, five days later, the good news of Xie Ai's big break of Hu 30,000 came.

As the Liaodong Army marched south, the Qianhu, who was already at the end of the crossbow, chose to flee south.

Unlike Beigong Chun's fierce bite of the Hu deserters, Xie Ai personally led the army to carry out a long-distance roundabout outflanking. During the escape to the south, the original Qihu of all walks of life were scattered, but later some of the Qihu generals were worried that they would not be able to resist the attack of Liaodong, so the various Qihu gradually gathered together and went south together.

At the beginning of June, Xie Ai led a large army along the eastern side of Taihang Mountain all the way south, directly blocking the Zhongqiu County of Zhao State, the place where Qianhu must flee to Xiangguo in the south, where he wanted to completely annihilate the southern escape of Qianhu.

On the night of the fifth day, when the Liaodong Army, which had been waiting for work, had been secretly deployed, the scouts flew to report that the 30,000 troops of the Qianhu army had arrived on the north bank of the Fuyang River and were encamped to rest.

At night of the same day, taking advantage of the dark moon and high wind, 20,000 Liaodong iron horsemen rushed forward and crossed the Fuyang River to the camp of Qianhu. Although the Kahu were gathered together to act together, there was no unified command, and each unit was encamped separately according to the orders of each commander-in-chief.

At the same time, there is a lack of distance between each other to echo the battlefield, and they just pick up water and grass and camp separately, and those who are near are crowded into patches, and those who are far away are two or three miles.

Moreover, it is said to be a camp, but there is no necessary defensive barrier such as trenches and deer, and all the people are fleeing south in embarrassment, lacking tents and other necessary materials for field marching. Fortunately, it is now summer, and the temperature at night is not particularly low, and most of the Hulu are lighting countless bonfires, barbecue cattle and sheep, and drinking horses.

In the middle of the night, the bonfires all over the bank of the Fuyang River gradually went out, the boundless snoring mixed with the intermittent snorting of the war horses, and the thick smell of barbecue cattle and sheep sandwiched the sweet and sour wine of the horses, they dispersed with the mighty summer wind, and undoubtedly announced to the outside world that the army of Qianhu is here!

At the same time, the bank of the Fuyang River suddenly collapsed and cracked, and the army of Qihu suddenly woke up, but saw people and horses rushing around, crowding and trampling on each other, and in a moment there were no casualties. About half an hour later, the various tribes of the Karma Hu finally gathered together in the sound of various sharp horns, and they divided into desperate battles.

The attacking Liaodong army advanced in three ways, and each road was wedged and divided by thousands of people, and the 30,000 Qianhu army was instantly divided into dozens of pieces and strangled. On the battlefield within a radius of several miles, more than 50,000 horsemen of the two armies were entangled together and fought to the death!

But this time the Liaodong Army came prepared, Xie Ai was born in Liangzhou, and his understanding of the tactics of the Liangzhou cavalry was not much less than that of Beigong Chun. In this attack, Xie Ai adopted the tactics of the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry: ten thousand arrows were fired at the same time at one arrow, and short spears were thrown at the same time thirty paces away.

Under the fierce killing of two waves of arrows and spears like a torrential rain and flying locusts, the cavalry quickly panicked and dispersed. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Liaodong knight drew his snowy saber and slashed at it like lightning.

Suddenly attacked by the stormy night attack of the Liaodong army, even if the Qihu army fought to the death after the chaos, it was difficult to escape the fate of annihilation. Under the fierce attack of the Liaodong Army, countless Qianhu cavalry were frightened and turned pale.

Suddenly, the poignant trombone pierced the night sky, and with three consecutive sounds, the Qianghu rebel army fled southward in panic, but unfortunately the Fuyang River blocked the road in front, and most of the Qianghu drowned in the Fuyang River one after another.

After an hour, the entire battlefield finally fell silent. In the battle of the Fuyang River, the Xie Ai Department of the Liaodong Army beheaded nearly 30,000 people, all of whom killed dozens of nobles and generals of all sizes, and only more than 1,000 people broke through and fled from the siege.

At the same time, good news also came from the Eastern Front: Wei Xiong's army broke through the Qianhu, beheaded 10,000, and successfully took Qinghe and Pingyuan.

Since June, the main force of the Liaodong Army has moved south in three ways, and has won successive battles on various fronts, eliminating more than 70,000 people in Qianhu, recovering the entire Jizhou, and advancing the front all the way to the northwest border of Sizhou. (To be continued.) )
