Chapter 112: Enemy Night Attack
After listening to Liu An's words, Kuser did not respond immediately, but asked suspiciously:
"But the Bart tribe now only has eight or nine hundred capable warriors, but we have more than four thousand warriors, even if they are drunk, the son of Bart will not dare to come!"
Liu An shook his head and explained, "Don't worry, he will definitely come!" I killed Bart, and his son hated me to the core, and if he missed such an opportunity for revenge, he would never have a chance again, so even if he knew that there was danger, he would surely come. Moreover, he has been blinded by hatred, and he does not necessarily see the risks. ”
"Yes!" Kuser departed.
The Khash tribe is not far from the Bat tribe, and it only takes half an hour to come and go.
Counting the time to gather the soldiers, Liu An estimated that in less than an hour at most, the people of the Bat tribe would be able to reach the Kakeshi tribe.
At this time, the night had completely fallen, and Liu Bei also entered the Kesh tribe with soldiers and supplies.
Liu An asked Keshi to arrange food and lodging for the people brought by Liu Bei, and at the same time asked the two to hand over affairs, and Liu Bei took over the management of various affairs.
Counting the infantry who had just arrived, all the 3,600 people under Liu An's command had arrived, and their strength was not inferior to that of the Kashi tribe.
In this way, even if there are disobedient soldiers in the Keshi tribe, Liu An can suppress them by force.
After the handover of the two, two quarters of an hour had passed, and Liu An asked the Bad tribe to immediately take two thousand Xianbei cavalry to make a detour to the road from the Bad tribe to the Bad tribe to ambush the Bad tribe, and when the Bad tribe was defeated and fled, he would stop it, kill or surrender.
Then let Zhang Fei and Lu Bu lead the cavalry and ambush the tribe five miles away.
He and Gao Shun led the remaining Xianbei warriors to meet the enemy outside the tribe gate.
Although Liu An adopted the strategy of luring the enemy, he could not let the enemy enter the Qikeshi tribe.
There were not only the old and young women and children of the Kash tribe in the tribe, but also more than 5,000 weak Han Chinese, and if the enemy was allowed to enter the tribe, even if the other party was aware of the scheme, these people would inevitably suffer the aftermath of the war.
It is also not feasible to move people out of the tribe in advance, there are so many people, there is nowhere to resettle.
Moreover, the night is already dark, and the lights are blind at night, and it is very likely that the crowd will be scattered.
As for Liu Bei, Liu An asked him to lead 2,000 foot soldiers to line up inside the gate to protect the people of the Keshi tribe and the Han people.
The weapons equipped with more than 2,000 infantry soldiers this time are all spears, although they are not weapons produced by the system, but more than 2,000 spearmen are arrayed to meet the enemy, even if the opponent is a good fighting Xianbei cavalry, if they dare to rush hard, they will inevitably suffer great losses.
The spearmen are a type of infantry that can be used to restrain the cavalry, and the formation can be used as a horse rejection to a certain extent.
After arranging all the deployments, Liu An and Gao Shun waited quietly.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, most people had night blindness, especially among the people of various tribes in the grassland, who ate meat for a long time and consumed very little fruits and vegetables.
However, they waited for the movement to be able to tell each other was approaching only by listening to the movement.
Moreover, the generals and soldiers under Liu An's command have had abundant food in the past few months, not only can they eat enough, but under Liu An's special arrangement, they have also paid attention to the balance of nutrition, and their night blindness has been greatly improved, and they are not afraid of night battles at all.
After waiting outside the door for about half an hour, Liu An heard the hooves of the horses in front of him, and in the night, he vaguely saw that the enemy army was less than 100 meters away from his side, and randomly ordered:
"Light the torch and throw it forward!"
Liu Anjun's orders were passed down layer by layer, and after a short time, countless torches were lit in the rear, and then they were thrown on the way of the enemy troops in front of them.
Relying on the momentum of the horse, the Bart tribe approached Liu An's people in an instant, and randomly ushered in countless torches falling from the sky.
Quite a few people were hit directly by torches, scorching their hair and setting their clothes on fire.
The son of Barth, who was leading the charge at the forefront, knew the plan at a glance, and he quickly ordered the whole army to retreat.
However, many of the people in the team were lit by torches, and in a panic dismounted to extinguish the fire, but the fire spread to the body or tail of the horse, and the hair was still there, and the frightened horses suddenly galloped in panic.
Some of the horses trampled to death as they scurried, and then they ran into other horses and set the other horses on fire.
The Bart tribesmen were instantly disorganized, and they no longer obeyed the orders of the son of Barth.
Seeing this, Liu An ordered archery.
As a nomadic people, the Xianbei people are not only brave in horsemanship, but also very good at archery.
With the light of the fire ignited in the Bart tribe, Liu An's corporal bent his bow and arrows, and shot towards the firelight.
Avoiding his own cavalry rushing into it and being affected by the fire, Liu An did not dare to charge at the Bart tribe, and could only harass the other party with bows and arrows.
When Barth's son saw his men like this, he cursed, rode around his headquarters, and fled in the direction of his tribe.
The rest of the cavalry, who were not affected by the fire, also followed the example of the leader, bypassing the people behind and retreating with the leader.
However, after less than a quarter of an hour, he heard the sound of crossbow firing from both sides.
Then, in the midst of this screaming one after another, the people behind Bart's son fell off their horses one by one.
Barth's son could not see what lay ahead, and he was so frightened that he waved his whip to his death, and drove the horses in the direction of the tribe.
However, he didn't run far before he saw a little silver light under the moonlight quickly approaching him, and he hurriedly raised his ring-headed knife to block it, but the silver light suddenly dropped a little, and then his ring-headed knife was bounced away from the bottom up.
Bart's son is now twenty years old, and he is definitely a brave man among the younger generation of the tribe, but the power of the master of that little silver light is many times stronger than him.
As soon as they clashed, he was knocked off the weapon by the opponent.
Knowing that he was invincible, Bart's son was about to flee when he suddenly felt a pain in his chest, and then he saw himself flying.
Vitality passed quickly, and as he was dying, he finally saw that the general who had killed him was a fierce general with a beard and brass eyes.
At the same time, many warriors of the Bart tribe who fled back were all in a state of unknown situation, and encountered battles.
Very few have escaped alive.
And a small part of the soldiers who fled back also encountered a second wave of ambushes on the way.
Only a very small part, because of the darkness of the night, got lost on the way back, were spared.
On the other hand, Liu An asked his soldiers to use bows and arrows to wipe out all the enemy troops who had fallen into chaos, and after making sure that no one was standing, he sent people back to inform Liu Bei to take people to deal with the battlefield, and on the other hand, he led the Xianbei cavalry to chase in the direction of the enemy's escape.
By the time he arrived at the place where Lu Bu and Zhang Fei were fighting with the enemy, the two of them had already led people to chase the enemy.
Liu An left half of the men to deal with the battlefield with torches, and followed after him.
When I saw Zhang Fei and Lu Bu again, they were already in the Bat tribe.
Because those lost warriors of the Bart tribe took a long detour and had not returned to the tribe at this time, everyone in the Bart tribe was not prepared at all, and was easily attacked by Lu Bu and others.
In the early hours of the morning, the three of them, Keshi, Lu Bu, and Zhang Fei, had already controlled the entire Bat tribe.
They brought together all the inhabitants of the Bad tribe and liberated the enslaved Han Chinese.
Liu An came to the captives with his own soldiers, and it took an hour to pick out seven hundred and sixty-eight people with negative temperament or loyalty from the nearly 20,000 people of the Bart tribe.
Among these people, there were fifty or sixty old people, and there were children less than eight years old, but Liu An did not show mercy and ordered them all to be killed.
A momentary soft-heartedness may cause endless troubles, and Liu An will not make such a low-level mistake.
The rest of the people expressed their willingness to surrender, and they were willing to be oxen and horses as long as they could spare their lives.
Of course, the main reason why they decided to surrender to Han so happily was because the Bat tribe had not had many capable fighters since Bat led people to attack Jiuyuan failed.
Tonight, his son made a desperate bet and took away all the warriors of the tribe, and now all the people left in the tribe are young and strong men with ordinary force, or old and young women and children.
In this way, what way out can there be if it does not fall?
After subduing the people of the Bart tribe, Liu An gained another 1831 contribution points.
Then Liu An came to the place where the Han captives gathered, and the Bart tribe was worthy of being the largest tribe in the northwest Xianbei, and there were nearly 10,000 Han captives in its tribe!
As in the Kakesh tribe, these Han captives were subjected to inhumane treatment, and Liu An, suppressing his anger, also appeased them.
After doing this, the east has lit up with fish belly white.
The soldiers fought all night, and they were already very tired.
Liu An divided his corporal into two parts, one part continued to guard the prisoners and clean up the battlefield, and the other part let them hurry up and rest.
The Bat tribe was twice as large as the Khkesh tribe, and there were many tents during this period, which was enough for Liu An's soldiers to rest.
Liu An himself took his own soldiers to count the gold, silver, treasures, grain and grass materials that Bart had looted over the years.
In the various warehouses of his tribe, his subordinates found a total of more than 320,000 stone grains!
Liu An estimated that so much food was enough for more than 30,000 people in his tribe for ten months!
Even so, Bart still chose to go south to rob the Han people after the autumn harvest, and his heart was simply damning!
In addition, his subordinates also found nearly one million dollars in Bart's private vault, as well as some jewelry and jade.
Bart is only one of the many tribes of Xianbei in the northwest, and it is hard to imagine how much money and materials have been looted from the Han border in the hands of the Tanshi Huai, who once unified the Xianbei tribes, and the leaders who now control the central Xianbei and the eastern Xianbei.
However, the eastern Xianbei and the central Xianbei are more difficult to deal with than the western Xianbei, and they are too far away from Jiuyuan, and Liu An is neither able to conquer nor be able to reach them.
can only suppress the fighting intent in his heart for the time being.
In addition, Bart has built a special arsenal to house the weapons and armor he has scavenged from the Han Realm.
It's just that the arsenal is locked, and Liu An asked many prisoners who didn't know where the key was, so in desperation, he could only order the soldiers to forcibly break it.
Thousands of weapons such as knives, guns, swords, and halberds were stored in the arsenal, but the armor was rarely seen.
That's right, the armor rate of the Han people is not high, and the army where ordinary soldiers can get leather armor is already an elite army in the Han Dynasty.
Sometimes the border army can't even receive military salaries, how can they have money to buy too much armor.
As Liu An had seen before, under the command of Captain Cheng Ze, only officers above the commander level were qualified to be equipped with leather armor.
Like the pearlescent scale armor produced by the system, it may only be possessed by the powerful generals and their henchmen.
However, the armor that is so tightly protected and extremely gorgeous and beautiful as the Jinluan battle armor is impossible to see anywhere else in the entire Han Dynasty, except for the system.
After Liu An counted the weapons that Bart had hidden, the sky was already bright.
Breakfast had been prepared outside, Liu An hastily finished eating, sleepiness hit, and after handing over the things here to Liu Bei, Gao Shun and others to deal with, he came back to the Kesh tribe and rested in the original camp tent of Keshi.
slept until noon, although Liu An didn't sleep enough, Liu Bei and the others also needed to rest, so he endured sleepiness and got up, replaced Liu Bei, and commanded the soldiers to burn all the corpses left last night.
While Liu An was resting, his men caught a few Xianbei people who were sneaking around outside the Bart tribe.
When I asked, I found out that they were actually from the Bat tribe who fought last night, and they were only caught because they were lost on the way to escape, and when they returned to the tribe in the early morning, they found that the tribe was different, so they hid in the distance to observe, and they were arrested.
Liu An singled out those who pretended to surrender and beheaded them, while the rest were pressed to the prisoner camp to guard.
At this time, the other tribes of Xianbei in the west had received news that the Han army had reached the steppe one day, the Kash tribe surrendered, and the Bat tribe was completely wiped out.
For a time, the grassland departments were in turmoil and panic.
Some small tribes, after hearing the news, moved north with their troops in the afternoon of the same day and left this place.
There are also some tribes who are unwilling to give up this place, and send people to contact other tribes to unite against the Han army, among them, naturally, including the third largest tribe in the western steppe, the Legen tribe.
That night, he invited more than 20 small tribes to discuss a joint fight against the Han army.
However, after the surrender of the Yaksh tribe, many small tribes could not trust Legan at all, for fear that he had secretly surrendered to the Han court.
Even without this, the small tribe would not dare to go to the big tribe easily.
The annexation of small tribes by large tribes has happened more than once since ancient times, and they did not dare not go before, but now the situation is special, and more than one tribe does not go, they do not believe that when fighting against the Han Court, Legen still dares to start a war against all their tribes.
As a result, Legan invited more than twenty tribes, but none of them were present.
In addition, there are three small tribes that directly chose to surrender to Hanting.
Liu An was naturally overjoyed, but when he met with the leaders of the three tribes, Liu An emphasized to him that it was not to surrender to Han, but to descend to him.
The three of them had to bow on the string, so they had no choice but to bow their heads and surrender to Liu An.
A small tribe of less than 10,000 people in the western grassland, Liu An did not intend to attack it when he sent troops to the grassland this time, and the surrender of the three of them was an unexpected joy for Liu An.
On the third day of coming to the grassland, after a day's rest, the soldiers had recovered their spirits.
Early in the morning, Liu An ordered that the entire Kash tribe, except for the soldiers, be moved into the Bat tribe.
The Bart tribe has lived here for many years, and if it is squeezed a little, the tents set up by the tribe can accommodate 50,000 people.
After all the ordinary people moved into the Bad tribe, Liu An ordered Zhang Fei, Lu Bu, Liu Bei, and Gao Shun to take turns to lead the cavalry and go to harass the Legen tribe day and night.
