"Although the Jin army is strong now, we are not without the strength to fight, in the entire Youzhou region, our Duan clan can dispatch 80,000 elite cavalry, and if we add other auxiliary forces, we can completely dispatch 100,000 troops. At the same time, we can also unite with the Yuwen tribe, so that we can gather 150,000 elite cavalry in Youzhou! ”

"Besides, even if we are defeated, it's just a big deal to retreat to the depths of the grassland, is it possible for the Jin army to go to Mobei to find us trouble?" Duan Wu Muchen tried to arouse the confidence of his subordinates, but unfortunately in the end, even he himself was a little lacking in confidence.

"Da Dan Yu Yingming, we can't beat the Jin army, we can retreat to Mobei!"

"That is, that is, although the Jin army is well-armed, they are definitely not as fast as our cavalry, and we can take advantage of the fact that the Jin army has not reacted and flee far away from the desert."

Listening to these pessimistic remarks of his subordinates, Duan Wu Muchen was completely disappointed, and he roared at everyone with hatred: "Bastard, don't you just think about escaping, don't you think about fighting to the death with the Jin army?" Sure enough, after listening to Duan Wu Muchen's words, a trace of horror flashed in the eyes of most Xianbei generals.

Just when the Duan clan Xianbei was arguing endlessly, the Great Jin Xiang Army, under the command of Meng Guan, had already appeared in the south and west of Youzhou, and the vanguard led by Li Liu had penetrated ten kilometers deep into Daijun. Although the Youji border had been calm for more than ten days before, now with the change in the direction of the Jin army's attack, the war atmosphere here is becoming more and more tense.

Duan Wumuchen could faintly feel the big war between Hu and Han in the Youzhou region now. Imminent. The Jin army has been preparing for so long, and this battle must be very intense. Don't look at the slogan he shouted just now, in fact, he was even faintly worried, with the strength in his hands, don't hold the territory of Youzhou, whether he can protect the entire Duan clan Xianbei is a question.

In the past, he dared to be arrogant, because after more than a hundred years of civil war, the strength of the Han people had fallen to a record low. In terms of population alone, the Hu people are not afraid of the Han people. But now? Through a series of reforms, the Great Jin Emperor Sima Shu gradually widened the gap between the Hu and Han sides by taking advantage of technological advantages.

Now the Great Jin Dynasty is handsome with Meng Guan as the commander. Command 50,000 infantry cavalry coalition troops. Coupled with the 30,000 Murong Xianbei cavalry, it was against the Duan clan and Yuwen that they were fighting. The great war came, but his subordinates had no confidence at all, and continued like this. The foundation accumulated by the Xianbei clan for several generations. But if you want to lose it all.

As the third generation of Duan's Xianbei, Da Shan Yu. He didn't want his ancestors' inheritance to be interrupted. Duan Wu Muchen knew the importance of this battle, and if he failed, the entire Duan Clan Xianbei would completely fall into a situation from which he could not recover.

Duan Wumu glanced at the Xianbei generals present with a gloomy face, including his most important son, Duan Weiliu, as well as several other sons and nephews. As a result, no one dared to take his words. Seeing this situation, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and continued:

"Ladies and gentlemen, although the Youji front has been calm, according to the information we have, a big war will break out soon, and it may even break out in the near future. Although the situation is not in our favor, please be prepared for the war. A few days ago, Yuwen Mogui specially sent someone to inquire about the possibility of forming an alliance with our Duan clan. ”

"This Shan Yu has already promised the other party, and the Yuwen tribe has asked us to hold back Murong Xianbei's troops so that they cannot effectively support the Jin army on the Western Road Front. At present, the army of the Yuwen tribe is being transferred to Daijun in large numbers to prepare for a decisive battle with the Jin army. The harder our side fights, the weaker the support provided by the Murong tribe to the Jin army, and the greater the likelihood that the Yuwen tribe will win the war. ”

"The more beneficial this is to our Duan Clan's Xianbei, everyone, although, the Jin army is strong in combat, far beyond our imagination. But the Murong tribe is our old opponent, we can't beat the Han people, can't we even clean up Murong Diao? This time is related to the future of the Duan clan, so you must go all out, otherwise, what awaits us is not only as simple as losing the battle, but also very likely to lose the entire tribe! ”

The generals of the Duan clan also looked serious when they heard Da Shan Yu's words, if just now they were still thinking about how to avoid the Jin army and flee to a distant place, so as to paralyze that fragile heart. So now, with Duan Wumuchen's constant encouragement, he finally has some courage to go south to fight.

Think about a few years ago, the Xianbei people of the Duan clan still fantasized about taking advantage of the civil strife of the Han people to easily defeat the Han people again and wantonly plunder the land and wealth of the Han people. However, the increasingly powerful Jin people and the ferocious offensive of the Jin army since the start of the war suddenly broke the beautiful dreams of the Xianbei people.

In particular, the battle between the Shangdang and the state completely shows that the Han people are no longer the weaklings who are bullied by the Hu cavalry. Although this makes the Hu people very uncomfortable, this is the case. In this war, the entire northern Hu people may not be able to escape.

However, there is no need to worry too much and be disappointed. At the end of last month, an army of 100,000 troops composed of Tuoba Nan officially marched south under the command of the great leader Tuoba Liuxiu. Once the Tuoba tribe broke through the Jin army's Great Wall defenses, they would be able to enter the hinterland of Guanzhong in one fell swoop, and the entire battle situation might be reversed at that time. In order to improve the self-confidence of his subordinates, Duan Wu Muchen once again informed everyone of the good news.

"Yes, Father Khan is right, there are now more than 600,000 Hu cavalry troops scattered throughout the north, and they are engaged in a bloody battle with the Jin army. As long as we can hold out in Youzhou for more than a month, once the Tuoba tribe opens up the situation in Shangjun and Beidi County, then we may not be able to win this war! Duan Liu's eyes showed a bright eye.

"Liujuan said very well, Ben Dan Yu firmly believes that as long as we hold on for more than a month, the final victory will belong to us, and after the war is over, Ben Dan Yu will never treat the meritorious people here, and you will have countless glory and wealth!" Duan Wu Muchen continued to bewitch everyone and said.

Now Duan's Xianbei situation is very difficult, and he must inspire everyone's fighting spirit. Otherwise, the 100,000 Xianbei cavalry with low morale would definitely not be able to withstand the fierce attack of the tens of thousands of Jin troops who were like wolves and tigers. Even if they already occupy the home field, it will not help.

"Father Khan, please rest assured, we will fight this battle well, the great Duan Xianbei will let those cowardly and incompetent Han people know that we are powerful!" Duan Mobo, who has a tendency to seriously discriminate against Han Chinese, said unashamedly.

Hearing Duan Mobo's words, Duan Wumuchen's other son, Duan Piyan, pursed his lips secretly, but he didn't say anything. Before the big war, he didn't want to have any conflicts with his own people. You must know that the powerful Huns have all bled in front of the Jin people, not to mention the Xianbei people whose strength is not as good as the Huns.

"Uncle is very happy that you can have such faith, nephew Mobo. However, my uncle wants to remind you that you should not be too young. The Jin army's van army was all equipped with firearms, and it was also equipped with a considerable number of artillery. Moreover, their cavalry troops are basically composed of Sinicized Qiang and Di people. ”

"Although the combat quality of the Di and Qiang cavalry is not high, after accepting the culture and wisdom of the Han people, their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated." Duan Wu Muchen couldn't help but remind.

"Oh, got it, Da Danyu!" Duan Mobo replied a little unhappily. But he knew that Duan Wumuchen was right, so he was still able to listen to a lot.

"Everyone, the upcoming war, for the Duan Clan's Xianbei, its importance doesn't need to be said more, right?" Seeing that everyone nodded, Duan Wu Muchen continued: "If we can hold on until the Xianbei people break through the defense line of the Great Wall, then we can be regarded as completely getting rid of the current unfavorable situation. If it fails, it will be a huge disaster for us, and even for our families. Duan Wumuchen emphasized again and again.

Now he, as well as the entire Duan Clan Xianbei, has no way out. Ever since they started their sins in the Plains, they have had no way out. Especially after the Great Jin Emperor swore an oath, they became the enemies of the entire Great Jin. For him, this war can only be won and not lost.

"Please rest assured, the subordinates will be able to hold on to the end and defeat the Jin people!" All the Xianbei generals replied at the same time.

"Excellent! Next, the specific operational deployment is as follows: Duan Piyan, who is stationed in Shanggu and the northern part of Yan Kingdom, leads 30,000 troops to attack the southern part of Yan Kingdom, and your task is mainly to contain Murong Xianbei's forces in the southern part of Yan Kingdom and prevent him from supporting the Jin army in battle. Duan Wu Muchen commanded.

"Yes, Da Shan Yu!" Duan Piyan replied.

Duan Wu Muchen nodded, at present, in addition to the main force of Murong Xianbei to guard against Duan Xianbei, the rest of the troops are concentrating on the Yan Kingdom and the Fan Yang Kingdom, preparing to support the Jin army in the north to capture the Dai County, Guangning and other counties occupied by the Yuwen tribe. If he wants to stop Murong Diao from supporting the Jin army, he must attack the enemy and save it! Jizhou is also an important town in Yan State, and it is also an important military town of Murong Xianbei in Youzhou.

"Duan is the sixth dependent, your task is to lead 20,000 cavalry from Beiping County to attack Liaoxi County and cut off the connection between the Murong tribe and Youzhou." Duan Wu Muchen then ordered his eldest son. Duan's task is even more important, as long as he opens up the situation here, Murong Diao will definitely do whatever it takes to rescue.

"Yes, father Khan!" Duan is very happy to accept such a task. He thought that his father was taking care of him, after all, he had Duan Pi Yan on his right flank, and he didn't have to worry about directly confronting the Jin army, in case the war didn't go well, he could even immediately flee north and return to northeastern Liao.

"The rest of the army followed Ben Khan and immediately set out to attack Pingzhou! The three ways to do it together, this single Yu doesn't believe that he can't beat the Murong tribe! Duan Wumu said in a deep voice. (To be continued......)
