Turn the time back to the day and night when Zhao Yun gave orders to Tang Meng and Lu Chihu's two subordinates, and deeply analyze Zhao Yun's intention of sending Tang Meng and Lu Chihu out of the city to attack and harass the Xianbei people.

Prior to this, in order to attract the attention of the Xianbei people outside the city and buy more time for Zhang He and Xu Rong, Zhao Yun once personally led the army out of the city to attack the camp of the Xianbei people, and only brought a thousand horsemen with each dispatch, which could always disturb the Xianbei people so tired that they could not rest at ease all night. In order to deal with Zhao Yun's attack, Cheng Lugui and Micah personally led their troops to guard the periphery of the camp, laying all kinds of traps and pockets, only to wait for the bold and hateful Han people to attack and disturb again, and then surround and kill them, but the result was that they failed several times and were avoided by Zhao Yun.

This time, Zhao Yun asked Tang Meng and Chihu to go out at the same time, not only attacking the Xianbei people at the same time, but also doubling the number of troops, and the movement was naturally not small. Cheng Lugui and Micah were both extremely alert and cautious people, and they could not figure out the situation when Tang Meng and Lu Chihu led the army on the first night, so they did not move, and let the two guys shout and curse arrogantly outside the camp, and finally left unharmed.

When it was daytime, Cheng Lugui and Mica summed it up, and felt that the Han army in the city might not be able to bear it, either because of the urgency of food and grass, or because they intended to abandon the city and leave, so they increased the intensity of attacking and harassing out of the city to pave the way for follow-up actions. Since the Han army has changed, Cheng Lugui and Micah will plan and simply arrange the next big scene, mobilize all the troops, part of the troops directly surround Baishan City, cut off the retreat of the troops who attacked out of the city, and part of the troops directly pursued and killed Tang Meng and Lu Chihu, intending to consume the thousands of men and horses of the Han army out of the city on the vast grassland.

When Tang Meng and Lu Chihu led the team out of the city to attack the Xianbei people for the second time, they really encountered a major crisis, but fortunately, Zhao Yun had already confessed, so the two of them wore the team and "escaped" separately. It's just that these two people seem to be frightened by the Xianbei people who poured out of the nest, and they can't even tell the direction in the panic. A fool fled with a team to the east where the Xianbei people lived in the east, and another fool actually fled with a team to the depths of the northern grasslands, isn't this tantamount to throwing himself into a net?

The attack on Baishan City made the Xianbei people fed up with grievances, and now they suddenly saw two Han cavalry fleeing into the depths of their own forces, so Cheng Lugui and Micah immediately sent two cavalry teams of 5,000 people, vowing to solve Tang Meng and Lu Chihu on the grassland.

The war is basically moving forward according to Zhao Yun's expectations, so what is Zhao Yun's intention in sending troops like this?

Zhao Yun has two purposes. First, disperse the more than 30,000 Xianbei people to create an opportunity for Zhang Hejun and Xu Rongjun to eliminate some Xianbei troops in advance; Second. Send troops to join Zhang Hejun and Xu Rongjun to determine whether the two forces outside the city are already in position, thus forming the intention of the three forces to act together.

Because the Xianbei people are best at guerrilla warfare, in the case of not having an absolute advantage in troops, even if Zhang Hejun and Xu Rongjun blocked the retreat of the Xianbei people to the northeast and due east respectively. But if the 30,000 Xianbei people gathered together and broke through in one direction, Zhang He and Xu Rong would have to pay a very heavy price if they wanted to stop them. Even if you pay a heavy price, you may not be able to keep the Xianbei people.

So. Zhao Yun, as the commander-in-chief of the Battle of Baishan, came up with such a method of dividing first and then attacking together when he could not maintain immediate contact with the other two support armies. Although this strategy is good, it also has a lot of risks, that is, the defensive strength of Baishan City has been weakened by half, and Zhao Yun is tantamount to putting himself in a dangerous situation.

The Tiger who fled northeast with his team. Not too stupid, he chose the fastest horses, and asked a few slightly thinner warriors to put down their various personal weapons and load lightly. He only ran wildly in the northeast direction, and rushed to find Zhang He when his two thousand soldiers and horses arrived.

These cavalrymen, who were temporarily serving as messengers, broke away from their headquarters and hurried to the northeast as fast as they could, and when they ran more than 90 miles, they encountered the ranger police posts scattered by Zhang He's army on the periphery. After checking each other's identities, the sentry hurriedly relayed the news back to Zhang He's Chinese army.

When Zhang He learned that Lu Chihu was leading a group of Xianbei cavalry to come, he immediately understood Zhao Yun's intentions, and immediately ordered his troops to form a huge glaive formation to meet the enemy.

After panting and leading his men into the arc-shaped encirclement of friendly forces, he deliberately slowed down, and also made many soldiers lie on the ground with their horses, posing as if they were exhausted.

The Xianbei people saw that the Han army fleeing for their lives in front of them finally lost their physical strength, and began to have soldiers and war horses fall to the ground, so they chased forward even harder, and the sound of shouting was close enough to be heard.

Seeing the pursuing Xianbei people getting closer and closer, Lu Chihu turned over and shouted to the soldiers on the left and right: "Brothers lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, the task is complete, quickly get up and withdraw with me, so as not to be trampled into meatloaf by friendly soldiers!" ”

The soldier who was lying on the ground for a while heard the words of the Rolling Tiger, got up from the ground with a bone, mounted his war horse, and continued to run forward after the Rolling Tiger.

Zhang He took in all the moves of the Chihu from the clairvoyant mirror, and said to himself with a little crying and laughing: "This guy is really bold and careful, and he didn't forget to deceive the Xianbei people again in the end, just so that our army can annihilate the enemy who came to attack!" ”

"Pass my orders, and the whole army will attack!" Zhang He gave the order to attack in a deep voice.

The next moment, a long horn sounded one after another, from the middle of the glaive array to the moon arc on both sides. The cavalry, who had long been ready to attack, pressed towards the Xianbei people in a neat formation......

Zhang He used 13,000 of the most elite Youzhou cavalry against the 5,000 Xianbei cavalry who had been exhausted by the Chihu Tiger, and the battle went so smoothly that the Chihu who rushed out of the encirclement wanted to doze off. If Zhang He hadn't deliberately let his subordinates let go of hundreds of Xianbei people to report back to Chenglugui and Mijia, none of the 5,000 Xianbei people who pursued Chihu this time would have been able to escape.

After the battle, Zhang He came to Lu Chihu and asked, "How many soldiers and horses does General Zilong have in Baishan City?" ”

Lu Chihu replied: "There are less than six thousand." ”

Zhang He nodded and said: "You and your two thousand brothers have the greatest credit in this battle, and the more than 3,000 Xianbei prisoners captured will be handed over to you to take care of, and the wounded soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Guard and the Youyan Army will also be taken care of by you, and I will lead the army to Baishan City to help in the battle!" ”

Lu Chihu understood that Zhang He's troops were the key to solving the main force of Xianbei, so he immediately took over Zhang He's temporary appointment as the leader of the prisoners and the wounded.

When Zhang He's troops won easily, Tang Meng almost fled with his soldiers and horses to the place where the Weishui River bent to the east. With the help of the compass and topographic map, Tang Meng basically followed the predetermined route along the way, and when he was about to reach the west bank of the Weishui River, it was easy to find the scouts scattered by the Zhenbei Army on the periphery.

Tang Meng thought that the front was the defense line formed by the Zhenbei Army and the Dragon and Tiger Guard cavalry, but he didn't know that Sun Li was still waiting in a hidden place with 7,000 cavalry at this time, so he asked the scouts to hurry forward to report to Xu Rong, and a stream of Xianbei people was chasing more than 20 miles away.

When Xu Rong received the news, Tang Meng was still ten miles away from the defensive zone built by the Zhenbei Army, so he hurriedly sent someone to rush over and lead Tang Meng away from the south of the defensive zone, so as not to let all the cheats that the Zhenbei Army had carefully prepared for the Xianbei people should be on the two thousand Xiao knights brought by Tang Meng.

Tang Meng was stunned when he learned that it was the infantry of the Zhenbei Army who was responsible for intercepting the Xianbei people head-on, he was thinking when the Youzhou infantry became so fierce that they dared to leave the city fortress and run to the grassland to fight the Xianbei people?

Not long after Tang Meng and two thousand cavalry passed around the front of the frontal position, the Xianbei people rushed over with a shout. This volley position was carefully arranged by Xu Rong himself with his soldiers, and was used to deal with at least 20,000 Xianbei cavalry, which not only laid a large number of traps, but also all kinds of traps, such as thistles, barbs, poisonous smoke, dark ditches, and so on.

One can imagine how sad it would be when five thousand Xianbei cavalry rushed into the cemetery prepared by Xu Rong for the twenty thousand Xianbei people above. In order to prevent the pursuing Xianbei people from escaping and exposing the secrets of this place, Xu Rong sent people to lure Tang Meng away, and at the same time, he also sent an order to the nearby Sun Li, asking him to lead his soldiers and horses to outflank the west from both sides of the ambush zone, and then completely block the road for the Xianbei people to retreat. As a result, the 5,000 Xianbei cavalry fell into the heavy encirclement of the 14,000-foot cavalry army, and the end was even more miserable than the group of Xianbei people who pursued the Chihu.

Tang Meng, who was hiding on the sidelines to watch the battle, watched the Xianbei people's war horses fall into the pit like dumplings, and the Xianbei cavalry on horseback was shot into hedgehogs by the strong crossbowmen of the Zhenbei Army, and he felt a creepy feeling in his heart. If it weren't for the men sent by Xu Rong to stop in front of Tang Meng's horse head and drag him aside, Tang Meng would have been unlucky with the Xianbei people this time.

A sudden positional ambush battle ended quickly, and only more than 1,000 of the 5,000 Xianbei people survived, and the remaining 3,000 people had died in the ambush position. Xu Rong gave the death order to the entire army of 14,000 people, and all the corpses and horses of the Xianbei people were removed from the ambush zone within one day, and the position was restored to its original appearance.

Tang Meng had the heart to lead his two thousand men to make a move, but he was reminded by Xu Rong and hurriedly led his troops in the direction of Baitan Mountain.

Tang Meng's army could not return to Baishan City no matter what, and if he appeared in front of the Xianbei people with all his beards and tails, it would be tantamount to reminding Cheng Lugui and Micah that there was a Han army ahead, and the five thousand Xianbei people who were pursuing had been resolved.
