Chapter 12: The Siege

"Lord, why don't you take this opportunity to take the Golden Lianchuan first?" Li Xuan's military camp, listening to the news brought back by Li Feng, who was in the dust, Li Huo rubbed his hands and said with an eager expression.

"With the temperament of the Hu people, if we capture the Golden Lotus River at this time, although we can occupy the Golden Lotus River immediately, I am afraid that the Qujin tribe will immediately shake hands with Kebi and make peace, and in turn join forces to attack us, although we can get a city, but we have to face hundreds of thousands of people from the two Xianbei tribes, Kebineng and the Qujin tribe." Zhao Min shook his head: "Instead of this, it is better to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and when the two major tribes are both defeated, our army will take advantage of the fatigue of the two armies to attack, not only can we make the best use of the resources and population of the two major tribes of Kebi and the Qujin tribe, but also greatly weaken the strength of Xianbei, and then occupy the Golden Lotus River in one fell swoop, killing three birds with one stone, wouldn't it be better." ”

Huang Rong, who was dressed in military uniform, nodded appreciatively and said: "This battle is of great significance to our army, if it wins, our army will be the minister who opens up the territory and expands the territory, but if it is defeated, this hat that is good at opening up the border and provoking, whether it is Liu Yu or Gongsun Zhan, will be happy to buckle it on our heads!" ”

Zhao Min raised his eyebrows, looking at the woman Li Xuanxin brought back with some surprise, with a hint of hostility in his eyes.

"Other than that." Li Xuan thought for a while and added: "The Golden Lotus River is a land of abundant water and grass, and it is also an important place for Xianbei people's resources, whether it is Helian, Kuitou, Budugen, these Xianbei tribes will not see the Golden Lotus River fall into the hands of our Han people, so this time, the capture of the Golden Lotus River is only the first step, and next, how to successfully build a city in the Golden Lotus River under the siege of the Xianbei tribes, and completely put the Golden Lotus River under the rule of my Han family, is the key!" ”

"However, we only had 20,000 Wuhuan warriors accompanying us on this expedition. Horse warfare is not afraid, but to defend the city, 20,000 Wuhuan warriors alone may not be enough. Shaking her head, Zhao Mindai frowned slightly.

"Sister Zhao Min doesn't have to worry, the Jin tribe and Kebineng have been detaining and looting over the years. A large number of Han Chinese slaves were captured under his rule, and as long as these two tribes could be eliminated in one fell swoop, there was no need to worry about the supply of soldiers. Huang Rong smiled.

"Of course I know that." Zhao Min hesitated slightly, feeling like he was being compared, and stubbornly straightened his chest.

"Qingya, Qiandao, the next dark department must closely monitor the battlefield movements, in addition, the surrounding major forces must also be closely monitored, we must ensure that we can get the most accurate information in the first time, when necessary. Assassinations can be unleashed to delay enemy movements. Li Xuan turned his head and looked at the two figures hidden in the shadows of the hall.

"Yes."

……

The old camp of Kebineng was established in a hundred miles north of Daijun, which is not far from Daijun, although it is not as good as Jinlian River, but it is also a rare place where water and grass are abundant.

At this moment, Kebineng was picking up the wind for the old king of Qiu Liju, who had just returned to him, and he obtained Qiu Liju's 30,000 Wuhuan elite without bloodshed. Let the tribe of Kebineng become one of the few forces in the middle of the country in one fell swoop. Even if it is the Qujin tribe that occupies the Golden Lotus River, I am afraid it will be difficult to compare with him.

"Come, Lao Wang, I'll toast you first!" Kebineng raised the wine bowl to Qiu Liju in high spirits, and drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp, obtaining 30,000 Wuhuan elites. Kebi can be confident that in less than five years, he will be able to annex the Qujin tribe that occupies the Golden Lotus River and become the largest force in Central Xianbei, but these. It's just the beginning in Kobineng's life plan.

He is about to become a grassland hero like Tanshi Huai, a generation of grassland heroes, and even in his lifetime, he wants to dominate the entire grassland and go south to occupy the fertile soil of the Han people.

Compared with Kebineng's high spirits, Qiu Liju is full of sorrow, after all, sending people under the fence, for the Wuhuan old king who has been accustomed to being the emperor of the soil, it is really not a wonderful feeling, these days, he has noticed that Kebi Neng has begun to secretly encircle his subordinate generals while distributing food, and many of the former generals have begun to secretly defect to Kebineng.

But even if he knew what to do, the current Qiu Liju had no ability to stop Kebi from extending his tentacles into his army, and could only watch his 30,000 elites fall towards the other party little by little under the pull of the other party.

Suddenly, the ground trembled slightly, Kebineng and Qiu Liju, who were drinking, stopped their movements at the same time, and glanced at each other suspiciously, both of them are figures who lead one side on the grassland, and they are very clear about the reason for this shock, it is clear that it will only occur when a large number of cavalry are galloping, and this scale, at least ten thousand horses will be generated, but ......

Kebineng's face changed, and he suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Go and check, what's going on?" Which army is in vain? ”

Kebi was able to imitate the Han system for his troops, and the rules were strict, and there were no major military operations recently, and it was impossible for such a sign to appear in a small cavalry run.

As he spoke, a dense and sharp scream sounded outside, and although it was far away, the faces of everyone in the tent changed.

"Enemy attack!" Outside, the mournful roars of the Xianbei warriors sounded, followed by the sound of dense sharp weapons entering the flesh and the constant screams.

"King!" A Xianbei military general rushed in.

"What the hell is going on?" Kebineng asked with a gloomy face.

"It's to go to the Jin tribe, I don't know what crazy happened, crazy to attack our old camp." The Xianbei military general hissed.

"Go to the Jin tribe!?" Kebineng's eyes widened in disbelief, that incompetent old patriarch had the guts to fight against him? Of course, this is clearly not the time to pursue these things.

"Yuwen Chong, mobilize people and prepare to fight! Quickly notify other ministries and come to the aid quickly! "No matter what the reason is, he has been beaten to the door by others at this moment, as a grassland warrior, he naturally can't let others bully, but Kebi can faintly feel that something is wrong, this attack of the Jin tribe is too sudden, and there is no warning at all.

When there was no war, most of the nomadic people were scattered around for grazing, and the old camp itself did not have many soldiers and horses, after all, this was not a place with abundant water and grass like the Jinlian River, and the old camp alone had no ability to feed the hundreds of thousands of herdsmen and slaves.

"Lao Wang?" Kebineng looked at Qiu Liju, who was sitting still with the old god, and squeezed out a smile on his face.

"Oh, if the king is in a hurry, he can go by himself." Qiu Liju said with a concerned face.

Kebi Neng naturally knew what this cunning old fox was planning, gritted his teeth, and said directly: "If Lao Wang can help me get through this difficulty, Kebi Neng is willing to give Lao Wang 10,000 cattle and sheep each, and set aside a region for Lao Wang to recuperate." ”

Qiu Liju showed a smile on his face, nodded and said heroically: "What is the king, you shelter us when my Wuhuan clan is in danger, Qiu Liju should repay him, but the Wuhuan clan needs to be rebuilt, and the king's kindness will be thanked in advance by the sons and daughters of the clan." ”

Kebi can be ruthless in his heart, and when he gets through this difficulty, what he pays now will definitely double your spit out! There was an understanding smile on his face: "In this way, thank you Wang first." ”

Outside the old camp of Kebineng, Li Xuan stood on a high ground with a cadre of military generals, looking at the melee between the two tribes from a distance, this time the Jin tribe poured out, the two sides combined, there were 200,000 people in the melee, even if they were far away, they could hear the noisy fighting, and around, there were Xianbei troops constantly joining in, constantly expanding the scale of the war.

"Almost." Silently calculating the reinforcements coming around, basically the troops on the periphery of Kebi were all reinforced, at least 300,000 horses and horses, in the grassland, but it was difficult to see

"Then prepare to close the door." Li Xuan nodded, he was not prepared to rush in like this, 20,000 Wuhuan cavalry, in a war of this scale, even if they were all thrown in, I am afraid that the two splashes would not splash, and they would be swallowed up directly by the whirlpool of war, he came to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but he was not prepared to put himself in.

So, when the two Xianbei tribes were fighting, Li Xuan honestly and unceremoniously dug traps on the periphery, set up horse rejection and inverted horse piles, and of course, there were pits the size of bowls all over the ground, and 20,000 Wuhuan iron horsemen were used as coolies at the moment, and under the command of generals at all levels, they quietly began to trap and surround the center around the huge battlefield of the old camp of Kebineng, and surrounded hundreds of thousands of troops with 20,000 horses, which was unprecedented.

What the? Do you think this unscrupulous way will be discovered?

Of course it will, although the big reinforcements are basically in place, there are still scattered Xianbei troops gathered from all directions around and joined the battlefield, some are Kebineng, and some are going to the Jin tribe, but Li Xuan is now leading the Wuhuan cavalry, and there is not much difference between them and these people in terms of dress, and the 20,000 army was also scattered by Li Xuan, and began to dig traps from all directions, which will not attract much attention, even if someone notices, once they enter that huge war whirlpool, Whether they can live to see the leaders of both sides is unknown, even if there are really people who don't open their eyes to meddle in their affairs, they will be quickly defeated by the troops sent by Li Xuan to be vigilant, anyway, the scene is very chaotic now, many people from both sides met on the periphery, and no one knew which side they were on their side.

So, Li Xuan set up the first trap belt without both sides noticing, and then began to take the soldiers and horses to intercept the follow-up reinforcements of the two surrounding tribes, while the remaining people and horses continued to use the first trap belt as the basis, and began to establish the second trap belt towards the center of the battlefield.
