Chapter 408: Battle before the Battle of Yumei

In the sixth year of Jianxing, at the beginning of April, 60,000 Hu cavalry rushed to Yumei under the command of Juquzhi.

At the same time, Beigong Chun began to order the shrinkage of troops, and gathered the main forces in Yumei, and for a time surrounded Yumei City, and a decisive battle was about to start between the enemy and us.

In order to completely defeat this rebellious Hu tribe, Beigong Chun, with the help of the accompanying army, made a battle plan early: the main force has about four infantry standing in the city behind the city, ready to fight with the Hu cavalry head-on. At the same time, Nengchen and Yao Yizhong were sent to unify the cavalry to carry out long-distance penetration and outflank the enemy's rear road.

Although as experienced cavalry commanders for a long time, Neng Chen and Yao Yizhong are all familiar with this kind of cavalry interspersed tactics. However, in order to cover the main force of the cavalry, Beigong Chunqin led 3,000 cavalry south, preparing to take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold to give Hu Qi a blow to the head, in order to attract all the attention of Hu Cai.

In the fourth year of Jianxing, on the ninth day of the fourth month, as the vanguard of the rebellious Hu coalition approached Yumei City, the battle curtain slowly opened.

The drizzle and muddy roads of Guishan Wang Juquzhi frowned, such weather was very unfavorable for cavalry combat, and after being soaked in rain, the Hu people's shoddy bows and arrows became sloppy and unusable.

At the same time, a cavalry of about 3,000 men galloped out of Yumei City and galloped towards the Juquzhi army.

On the vast Guanzhong Plain, two cavalry groups were advancing head-on. On one side is the 60,000 Hu coalition army, and on the other side is the elite of the Liaodong Army - 3,000 iron cavalry, a big battle is inevitable.

The Di people were originally an inconspicuous small tribe, but after hundreds of years of development, in the Wei and Jin dynasties, there were nearly 100 large and small Di tribes scattered in the northwest and southwest, and the population was as many as 1 million people.

Not to mention that during this period, there were many talents in Di people, Fu Hong, Yang Nandi, Li Te, Li Xiong and others were the most outstanding talents in Di people.

Although Ju Quzhi cannot be compared with the above people, in any case, with the help of this rebellion, he successfully pinched the Yongzhou people together and became a force to be reckoned with.

With the gradual growth of strength, Juqu Zhi was no longer satisfied with being a tribal leader, and his ambition was delusional to establish his own kingdom like Yang Maosou's father and son, and Li Xiong's brothers, and his expedition to Yumei was just the first step he took on the road to founding the country.

Along the way, the 60,000 Hu allied troops were overwhelmingly along the Huangshui River to the north, and many Hu cavalry howled again and again, obviously they regarded the expedition to Yumei as a carnival, which was to vent the excitement before the war.

From the physical point of view, the Hu coalition army looks very chaotic, indicating that it lacks systematic military training and is just a rabble. However, when the number of this rabble reaches tens of thousands, it is enough to produce enough destructive power.

In the evening of this day, the Hu coalition army arrived a hundred miles south of Yumei, because it was getting late, and the army was already exhausted from the continuous march for several days, so Ju Quzhi decided to rest the whole army here for one night.

Since this place was only a hundred miles away from Yumei, Juqu knew that he was worried about being attacked by the Liaodong army, so he sent a large number of scouts to patrol the surroundings, and at the same time let the troops take turns to rest. I have to say that Qu Zhi's caution saved the fate of the army.

That night, the moon was cold and the stars were sparse, and the cool breeze was blowing, and the night on the plateau seemed very quiet.

In the faint moonlight, I saw a dense crowd of figures slowly pouring out from the north, heading straight for the Hu army's garrison.

So many people rode together on the ground, but they didn't make any noise, not even neighing.

In the place where the horses walked, lay the corpses of several groups of Hu cavalry with a total of dozens of people, they were all Hu scouts, they were killed before this cavalry appeared.

The three thousand cavalry slowly advanced in the faint moonlight, getting closer and closer to the Hu coalition camp. Beigong Chun's eyes were fixed on the coalition camp under the darkness of the night, and there was no movement, while the Hu coalition army seemed to be unaware of the impending danger.

It's a pity that when the cavalry led by Beigong Chun arrived only a few hundred paces away from the Hu coalition army's camp, there was a sudden situation that he didn't want to see. An arrow rose into the air with a scream from the darkness not far from the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, and it was obvious that the secret post arranged by the Hu clan in advance had discovered the surprise attack of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry!

"Damn!" Beigong Chun scolded secretly, and then shot the Hu man who reported the news with an arrow.

But at this time, it was too late to kill the Hu people's secret sentry, and I saw that a sharp shout suddenly sounded in the Hu coalition army, and then the entire camp seemed to move.

Beigong Chun's body was stunned, and then he gritted his teeth and shouted loudly: "The whole army is assaulted!" ”

"Kill!" The shouting of killing suddenly exploded, which was really earth-shattering.

Almost at the same time, three thousand cavalry were seen to accelerate suddenly, and the whole earth trembled. Three thousand cavalry charged at full speed, like a terrifying beast in the night.

The iron hooves rolled and rushed in, and in only a moment they reached a distance of only two hundred paces from the Hu camp.

At this moment, a Hu cavalry of about 10,000 people galloped out of the camp, and 10,000 people shouted violently and went straight to the Liaodong iron cavalry in the dark.

In the blink of an eye, the two cavalry slammed into each other, and the shouts of killing suddenly rose a few points.

As soon as the battle began, the Hu people were taken aback, and they felt that the impact of the other party was unexpectedly strong. For the reputation of the Liaodong Army, the Hu people have heard of it more or less. But people often don't want to believe the truth they hear, and before they have really seen the combat effectiveness of the Liaodong Army, many of them are a little skeptical.

However, the powerful impact shown by the cavalry that suddenly appeared tonight completely convinced the Hu people in the battle that there were no vain soldiers under the fame, and the prestige of the Liaodong Army was definitely fought by strength.

Although Hu Lu was shocked by the strong combat effectiveness of the Liaodong Army, because the Hu Lu who participated in the rebellion were all unwilling to accept the reorganization of Liaodong, they had a deep hatred for Liaodong, and for a while they aroused their ferocity, and they fought with the Liaodong cavalry who sneaked attack, roaring and fighting.

The performance of the Hu people is not strong, but the Liaodong Iron Cavalry is even more fierce and not afraid of death!

Many Hu people saw that many of the soldiers on the other side were still fearless even though they were drenched in blood with several stabs, and even more, despite the severed left arm gushing with blood, they still brandished their broadswords to chase and kill the opponent who was fleeing in panic.

Although Hu Ren was conceited and brave, at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a trace of fear from the bottom of his heart.

What frightened the Hu people even more was Beigong Chun, who wielded a spear and passed through the middle of a dozen Hu cavalry, and then the dozen or so Hu cavalry fell off their horses after him, like a killing machine, constantly harvesting the lives of the surrounding Hu cavalry.

No matter how brave the Hu warriors were, they couldn't make a move under Beigong Chun, and in the blink of an eye, three Hu Lu warriors who were in the top ten in terms of force value had already died at Beigong Chun's hands.

With the passage of time, under the impact of wave after wave of Liaodong iron cavalry, the Hu cavalry who came to intercept gradually could not support it and began to retreat slowly. Finally, under the last ferocious onslaught, the 10,000 Hu cavalry collapsed and fled in panic on both sides.

However, although Beigong Chun's department successfully broke through the Hu cavalry interception, it also allowed the rest of the Hu cavalry to complete the assembly. Under the repeated urging of Ju Quzhi, the remaining 50,000 Hu cavalry were aggressively moving towards Beigong Chun and them from two directions.

"The whole army retreats!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Beigong Chun immediately ordered a retreat, and then the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, under the leadership of Beigong Chun, rushed out of the gap before the Hu cavalry completed the encirclement. Only a mess of Hulu camps was left, and the thunderous sentences were known.

Although the Liaodong army failed to inflict heavy losses on Hu Lu's army due to Hu Lu's caution and vigilance in this battle, Beigong Chun and the others had successfully angered Ju Quzhi, attracted the attention of the enemy, and laid a good cover for Yao Yizhong and Nengchen. At the same time, thousands of Hulu were killed and wounded in this battle, which dealt a heavy blow to the morale of Hulu.

On the grass by the water, the corpses of war horses and beards were densely covered, and the blood stained the water blood-red. Although the battle is over, an unspeakably tragic atmosphere still permeates the sky above this killing field.

Guishan King Juquzhi's expression was very ugly, and he walked on the grass like a Shura killing field accompanied by all the generals, and his heart was shocked and angry. He had never imagined that anyone would have the guts to launch a surprise attack on his tens of thousands of troops.

At the same time, Ju Quzhi was a little lucky, glad that he had arranged a strict guard, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. (To be continued.) )
