Chapter Forty-Eight: Xianbei's Counterattack

When night fell, a large camp stood majestically on the west bank of the Nenjiang River, and Murong, the king of Xianbei, was in a very good mood at this time.

Yes, Murong is in a good mood, although he returned from defeat, and even lost the five cities west of the Nenjiang River, but Murong has also achieved his goal of sending troops, and now there are no more people in Xianbei who can balance Murong.

Those who were dissatisfied with Murong in their hearts, but they did not have the corresponding strength, which made Murong very happy, as for the defeat, Murong pushed all of them to the old department of Tanshi Huai, saying that he would not obey the order, and Fang Zhu was defeated!

Subsequently, Murong mobilized all the Xianbei troops, 60,000 Xianbei elites and 150,000 slave soldiers to confront Huang Zhong's 15,000 cavalry across the river on the east bank of the Nenjiang River.

However, Murong was not worried, because of the Xianbei of the unified order, there were 60,000 cavalry, Murong did not think that Huang Zhong had a chance to win, but Murong forgot that this Nenjiang was their natural danger, but at this time it was also the natural danger of Huang Zhong's cavalry corps.

Murong looked at the hazy Han army camp on the other side of the Nenjiang River by moonlight, and said lightly, "Order the soldiers under your command to rest for one night, and send troops to defeat this Han army early tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes!"

A group of Xianbei generals said respectfully.

At this time, Huang Zhong looked at the torches like stars on the west bank of the Nenjiang River, and was worried, the scout reported that the Xianbei army opposite was about 200,000, and there were only 15,000 cavalry under his command, if it was really a big battle, it would be a vicious battle!

A Han army general said, "General Huang, it will take at least ten days for His Majesty's army to arrive, which means that we will block the Xianbei army of 200,000 and attack in ten days." I wonder what General Huang's good plan is? ”

Huang Zhong sighed slightly. Resourcefulness is not what it is good at. In this hurry, where did Huang Zhong have any good plans, so he said, "Where is General Ben's good plan?" The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth. ”

Another general groaned slightly, "General, why don't we wait and retreat into the city?" With the danger of the city, it will be able to stop the Xianbei army. ”

"No!" Before Huang Zhong could speak, a general said, "This Xianbei city is inferior to my small county of the Han Dynasty, how can this small city block the ten-day offensive of the Xianbei army?" ”

Speaking of this, the man said meaningfully, "You know." We are cavalry, let the cavalry dismount to defend the city, give up their own advantages, and use their shortcomings to fight against the Xianbei army, it is really worth the loss! ”

Huang Zhong heard the meaning of this person's words, looked at his words deeply, and then said, "That's right, we are cavalry, and we have this Nenjiang natural danger, we only need to attack halfway." However, this is to disperse the troops, otherwise it will not be possible to detect the movements of the Xianbei army in time. ”

And when they heard this, they heard it. After thinking about it, they found that this was indeed the best way at this time, so they nodded their heads in agreement.

Seeing this, Huang Zhong said to the general who opposed entering the city and defended it: "Since this is the case, General Zhongming will lead 5,000 troops to camp in the lower reaches of the Nenjiang River!" It was originally a place for Xianbei to attack when he attacked Fuyu Kingdom, and the water flow was slower, if Xianbei divided his troops to attack, it would be the best place to choose. General Ben has gathered five thousand for you, and General Chungming will definitely hold there. ”

Hearing this, Duan Xuan hurriedly agreed, and secretly said in his heart, "Sure enough, I sold one to Huang Zhong, and Huang Zhong handed over this important task to a certain person, this is a good opportunity for meritorious service!" ”

Duan Xuan, whose name is Zhongming, is the younger brother of Duan Cheng, but he has not been promoted because he has not participated in the battle of the Qiang people, and now he is just a captain of the Liangzhou Border Army, the same as the captain of the Eighth Army Sima, and Huang Zhong is at the same level, but Huang Zhong is the commander of the cavalry corps at this time, so he naturally has to listen to Huang Zhong's orders.

There were originally 5,000 cavalry under the command of this simmer, but after the Eastern Route Army fought and pursued all the way, there were only 3,000 soldiers and horses at this time.

Now that Huang Zhong has collected 5,000 for him, it can be said that he has the capital to make meritorious contributions, how can he not be happy?

The rest of the generals did not have the slightest opinion on this, one is because the military order is like a mountain, since Huang Zhong has issued the military order, then everyone must abide by it, and the other is because of Duan Xuan's background, his brother is Duan Cheng, and he is a well-deserved high-ranking official.

Moreover, Duan Cheng and Huangfu have old rules, and Huangfu Song has to give a few thin noodles, with such a background, how dare everyone have opinions?

So Huang Zhong quietly divided his troops in the middle of the night, because it was a night division, the Xianbei army did not know.

Nothing was said all night.

On the second day, as soon as the sky was bright, the Xianbei army was ready to attack the Han army, and the Xianbei king Tan Shihuai personally led 50,000 Xianbei cavalry and 100,000 slave soldiers to attack from the stone bridge in front.

Murong's close general Ri Lu deduced that he led 10,000 Xianbei cavalry and 50,000 slave soldiers to cross the Nenjiang River to attack the flank of the Han army in the gentle place of the lower reaches of the Nenjiang River.

However, when the Japanese law deduction came downstream, it was found that a large camp of the Han army was found on the other side of the Nenjiang River.

This day law deduction is indeed Murong's cronie general, but he relies on constant instructions to do things, the military situation is like fire, in this era of poor information, if it is not for his loyalty, how can he be in his current position?

When Murong got the news, the army under Murong had already begun to launch an offensive on the other side of the Nenjiang River through the stone bridge, and Huang Zhong saw that the Xianbei army was attacking from the stone bridge, and his worries disappeared a lot.

Leaving 3,000 cavalry as a reserve force, 2,000 cavalry ready to charge at any time, the remaining 5,000 cavalry sat on horseback and kept firing with bows and crossbows.

In order to maintain the continuity of the crossbow arrows, Huang Zhong divided the 5,000 cavalry into three teams and implemented the method of three-stage shooting, and the continuous rain of arrows blinded the Xianbei army.

To be precise, those slave soldiers were blinded, and they who had no shields really went up and died! There was no suspense at all.

This is Murong got the news of the Rilu deduction, and immediately said angrily, "Tell the Rilu deduction, this king doesn't want the process, as long as he attacks the Nenjiang River and attacks the flank of the Han army on the opposite bank, so that the king's army can attack the Nenjiang River." ”

"Yes!"

After the herald left, Murong frowned and looked at the slave soldiers who kept sending them to death, and after a while, he said, "Order the slave soldiers to withdraw and send two soldiers of a thousand people to rush forward." ”

"Yes!"

With Murong's order, two thousand Xianbei cavalry suddenly rushed towards the stone bridge with a shout, but how wide was the stone bridge? However, it can only be ten people in parallel, and the cavalry can only be five horses in parallel, and with the corpses on the ground, it is difficult and dangerous for these two thousand Xianbei cavalry to not move forward.

Seeing this, Murong hurriedly ordered, "Order him to retreat and dismount!" Foot Combat! ”

"Yes!"

Although Murong's order was issued, the cavalry that rushed to the stone bridge was so easy to tear down, and nearly a hundred cavalry were damaged, and the Xianbei cavalry finally withdrew.

Huang Zhong knew that the fierce battle had begun! (To be continued......)
