Chapter 113: It's over
With Liu An's current strength, he can also take it by forcibly attacking the Legan tribe.
But the Legen tribe also has 3,000 capable warriors, and more than 4,000 cavalry under Liu An's command will fight with them, and the losses will definitely not be small.
Therefore, Liu An initially set a plan to harass as a supplement, lure the enemy to chase, and ambush as the main plan.
The reason for merging the Batt tribe and the Khkesh tribe is to prevent the other from adopting the same tactics against themselves.
At that time, Liu An will have to defend two large camps in which there are ordinary people, and once they fight, they will be timid and restrained.
However, if the other party really dared to divide troops to harass, Liu An would be happy.
There are only 3,000 warriors of the Legen tribe, and if he dares to divide his troops, Liu An will dare to raise a large army to surround him, or take advantage of his division of troops to attack the opponent's base camp.
He didn't believe that the base camp was in crisis, and the troops from the other side would not be able to come back to help.
And if the other party comes back to help, he can set up an ambush in the middle of the road and ambush the other party.
Of course, to prevent the other party from taking the same measures, Liu An sent all the foot soldiers to the Bart tribe to protect the ordinary people.
On the other hand, Liu An asked people to hide a large amount of hay in the empty tents on all sides of the Kashsh tribe, and made a large amount of cooking smoke rise in the tribe every time they had a meal, creating a false impression that there were still people living in it.
In this way, in the next two days, Liu Bei and Lu Bu were divided into four parts, each leading seven hundred cavalry, twelve hours a day, harassing the Legen tribe day and night.
Zhang Fei and Lu Bu still led the original army, and Liu Bei and Gao Shun led the elite cavalry selected by Liu An from the Keshi tribe.
However, the crossbow arrows drawn by the system have been used up in the past two days because they cannot be recovered.
At this time, the two subordinates had already used the crossbow arrows that Liu An had asked Wuyuan and the blacksmiths to build according to the system crossbow arrow system.
However, this crossbow bolt is far inferior to the crossbow bolt that is matched by the system, and its killing effect on the enemy is much reduced.
During the two days, Liu Bei and others led troops to hunt and kill the people of the Legen tribe who came out to graze, and at night they rode around the Legen tribe, sometimes throwing some torches inside it, and sometimes shouting angrily outside it.
Legan naturally would not let a few people bully, and sent his warriors to fight with Liu Bei and a few people many times, but every time he sent troops, Liu Bei and a few people retreated.
When the warriors under the command of Legan withdrew, they continued to harass them, and the harassing tribe of Legan was overwhelmed.
If a small group of Legan troops is found, a few people will directly lead the soldiers to eliminate them.
On the third day, Legan, who had not rested well for two days, became more and more irritable, and when this wave of Gao Shun and his men came to harass him, he left five hundred warriors to guard the camp and personally chased out with two thousand five hundred men.
In the past few days, Legan has observed that the number of people who come from the other side each time does not exceed 1,000, and there are 2,500 people, as long as they catch up with the other party, they can make the other party hurt their muscles and bones.
And the truth did not disappoint Legan, and as soon as he chased two miles, he found that the distance between him and the other party had narrowed.
After chasing for another five miles, the gap between the two sides has shrunk to nearly one mile.
Seeing that he was expected to catch up, Legan was overjoyed, and he loudly urged his subordinates to speed up, and if they could destroy this enemy army, they would have more dinner at night!
After that, Legan and the Gaoshun tribe began a ten-mile tug-of-war.
Every time Legan felt like he was about to catch up with the other party, the other party could magically accelerate and pull the distance to more than a mile again.
When Legan wanted to give up the pursuit and gave the order to retreat, the distance between the two sides quickly narrowed.
In this way, when Legan came to his senses, he had already led people to chase him five miles away from the Yaksh tribe.
In the past two days, he asked his subordinates to investigate the military deployment of the Han army, and when he learned that the Han court had placed most of its troops in the Bat tribe, but the Kashi tribe was extremely empty, his first reaction was fraud.
The enemy must be luring themselves so that they can devise an ambush.
However, since he was in the vicinity of the Yaksh tribe at this time, he didn't mind going to see it for himself.
Led the troops to a mile outside the camp of the Yaksh tribe, and Legan saw that the group he had just pursued had entered the Yaksh tribe.
Vaguely, Legan even saw that they had dismounted and were ready to cook.
Seeing this, Legan felt that this was a godsend.
However, he was not deceived by appearances.
Legan sent 500 men to search a radius of five miles to see if there were any enemy ambushes, and then sent another 100 men to approach the Yaksh tribe and peek in from the outside to roughly determine the number of horses in the camp.
Two quarters of an hour later, his men reported that no trace had been found, and that there were less than 1,000 horses in the Yaksh tribe.
In this way, Legan was relieved.
The horses were huge and it was unlikely that they would be hidden in the tents, and since there were less than a thousand horses in the Yakshi tribe, it was unlikely that there would be ambushes.
Even if there are ambushes, they must all be foot soldiers, and he will be afraid of only foot soldiers when he comes with 2,500 cavalry?
The grievances that Legen had suffered in the past two days were suddenly released, and he coldly mocked the other party in his heart: Is there no one available in Hanting? This kind of general also fights with the army?
When he was just pursuing, he felt that the opponent's army was out of order, otherwise why would the marching speed be fast and slow.
At this moment, when he saw that the other party was chasing soldiers outside, he thought it was safe when he entered the camp, and even cooked with great fanfare, in the words of the Han people, it was simply no one in his eyes!
Legan immediately mounted his horse and ordered to charge and kill the tribe of Rakish.
Gao Shun stood behind the camp gate, keeping an eye on the enemy's movements.
When he found that the enemy was beginning to rush towards his side, he ordered the whole army to mount and retreat through the rear door.
The speed of the cavalry was very fast, and as soon as all the cavalry on Gao Shun's side rushed to the back door, the enemy army had already come to the main gate.
The Kesh tribe is very large, although Legen saw that Gao Shun's troops were about to escape from the camp, but it was obviously too late to go around the back door to intercept, so Legen chose to rush into the camp to pursue the local tail.
The back door is smaller than the front door, and the speed of the troops is obviously not too fast, if Legen is fast enough, he will still be able to catch up with Gao Shunshi's tail.
Gao Shun was at the end of the tribe, and asked his subordinates to set fire to the camp after most of the enemy troops entered the camp, and then left the broken rear himself.
Legen rushed to the front, and when he saw that the general who was not in the stream actually broke off the back in person, he waved his ring head knife and faced Gao Shun.
Legan's force is not low, but it is still much worse than Gao Shun.
After only ten rounds of fighting, Legan knew that he was not an opponent, and hurriedly shouted left and right to help.
At this time, most of the warriors under Legan's command had already entered the camp, and Gao Shun's men, who were the first to rush out of the camp, also came to various places in the camp at this time.
At first, the fire was not large, but Legen did not notice it, and still engaged the enemy forces after Gao Shun and others.
When the fire spread to the hay hidden in the tent, the fire was out of control, and the fire burned brighter and brighter.
Legan and Gao Shun noticed the fire in the camp at the same time, and Legan was shocked, and finally knew that he had been tricked.
Gao Shun took advantage of Legan's distraction, provoked the tip of the spear to force the other party back, and rode his horse to rush outside the camp.
The soldiers who broke off the rear also followed Gao Shun and rushed out of the village.
However, the battle between the two armies was stalemate, and it was impossible to retreat in front of the opposing side, and Gao Shun left behind the broken soldiers who were killed by the enemy army pursuing behind.
The fire grew bigger and bigger, and when Legan chased Gao Shun out the back door, the camps that were burning in many places had already burned, and when the flames spread to the vicinity of the warriors of the Legan tribe, he sat down and was frightened, and gradually stopped obeying the command of his master.
Ten miles away from the Khkesh tribe, on the way to the Bat tribe, Liu An arranged for the soldiers here to find the thick black smoke over the Khkesh tribe, and quickly took out a fire sickle and lit the haystack mixed with wolf dung, reeds and other materials nearby.
After a while, smoke rose.
Liu An, who was miles away, received the news and immediately led all the cavalry under his command to rush towards the Kashi tribe.
The Kesh tribe was less than twenty miles away from the Bat tribe, and under Liu An's urging, the group arrived at the Kesh tribe in less than two quarters of an hour.
At this time, the fire was burning vigorously, and under the cover of the crackling sound of the flames, several almost inaudible screams and screams were heard from time to time in the camp.
Liu An scattered his men to surround the burning tribe, waiting for the fire to subside, and then hunted the survivors with bows and arrows.
Immediately, Liu An took his own soldiers to find Gao Shun, who had already led people to kill Legan at this time, and was guarding dozens of prisoners who rushed out of the camp but chose to surrender after Legen's death.
Outside the back door, corpses were strewn all over the field, and there were at least five or six hundred corpses on visual inspection.
Gao Shun suffered a shoulder injury, but the wound had been simply bandaged and looked fine.
Seeing the corpses all over the ground and Gao Shun's injuries, Liu An could imagine what kind of price Gao Shun paid to trap the people of Legan in the camp.
He stepped forward and patted the side of Gao Shun's uninjured shoulder, and said with relief: "Hard work!" ”
"This is a subordinate business!" Gao Shun said solemnly without being surprised.
Liu An didn't say much, he rewarded and punished clearly, Gao Shun's merits, he would write it down, wait until he returned to Jiuyuan, and reward it together.
"Have you ever counted the battle damage?"
When it came to this, Gao Shun seemed to feel guilty in his heart, and blamed himself: "Back to Ming Gong, there are 356 soldiers killed in the battle, 83 seriously injured, and more than 200 lightly injured. ”
Sensing Gao Shun's emotions, Liu An soothed: "There is no need to blame yourself, in this battle, you trapped several times the enemy army with 700 soldiers, and you can already be proud of most heroes in the world!" ”
"Shun doesn't dare to take credit, this is all dependent on Ming Gong's planning, not Shun's work." Gao Shun still responded without a smile.
Liu An shook his head, no longer arguing, but facing the burning fire, thinking about what needed to be done next.
Once the Legan tribe is settled, the matter will be over.
He didn't plan to move the rest of the small and medium-sized tribes for the time being.
Because after the three major tribes of the grassland were wiped out one after another, the small tribes of the grassland will inevitably have a huge sense of crisis.
Moreover, the three major tribes they are most worried about will descend and extinguish, and the rest are small tribes, even if there are ghosts in the Han Court, then they don't need to be afraid.
Everyone is about the same strength, and it is not certain who will destroy who first.
And looking at the situation of the three major tribes, you can also know that there are definitely not many who have descended to the Han Court.
In this way, Liu An could no longer stop the union of the small tribes of the grassland.
In Xianbei in the northwest, there are still nearly thirty tribes, and the information Liu An got is that there are no more than five hundred people who can fight in these small tribes.
And if you convert it in pair, these thirty tribes add up to at least 7,500 people, which is comparable to Liu An's strength.
Although this kind of alliance will definitely not be able to work together and make the same scheduling, Liu An still has to work hard to eliminate them all.
Moreover, the reinforcements of Xianbei in the central part of the country did not know when they would arrive.
Liu An has been coming to the grassland for many days, calculating the time, and at this time, it is almost time for Xianbei in the middle of the country to receive a request for help.
Liu An doesn't know how long it will take to wipe out the grassland tribes, and if he wants to face the central Xianbei again, or after eliminating the small tribes of the grassland, he will encounter the central Xianbei when he returns to Jiuyuan with a large number of ordinary Xianbei and Han captives, and encounters the central Xianbei.
On the other hand, Liu An also understands a truth.
Some people, when dealing with powerful foreign enemies, can unite and even be able to abandon previous suspicions and unite with the outside world.
And once the threat of external enemies is eliminated, there will be a lot of filth within it, mutual suspicion, mutual profit, and the alliance will collapse over time.
Liu An took advantage of this, after he left, whether the small tribes succeeded in uniting or not, they would no longer work together to deal with the Han Court.
When the turmoil subsides, Liu An will make another surprise attack and break them all, which will be easy.
In addition, there are too many ordinary Xianbei and Han captives.
There are more than 40,000 people in the Batt and Khkesh tribes alone, and the Legan tribe does not know how many.
With Liu An's current strength, it is already a little difficult to protect so many people, and some more people will be powerless.
Then the next thing that needs to be done is to collect and surrender the Legen tribes, and organize a large army to protect the people and the materials obtained back to Jiuyuan.
After that, I had to think about how to settle these people who had been brought back from the grassland.
The Han captives are easy to say, as Liu An said before, these people can go home with a home, and Liu An without a home can arrange for them.
However, the Xianbei people and the Han people have been in conflict for a long time, and these Xianbei people brought back to the Han realm, and the attitude of the local people towards them can be imagined.
How to solve this contradiction is a major problem that Liu An will face next.
However, this matter is not urgent, you can wait for the end of the war, and then convene Liu Bei and others to discuss slowly.
While Liu An was thinking, the fire gradually became smaller.
After waiting for another quarter of an hour, there were very few open fires in the camp at this time, and after half an hour of raging, there were almost no living people in the camp.
However, just in case, Liu An still ordered people to go in and search to make sure that there were no living mouths.
It was true that some living people were found in the camp, but although these people were not burned, their bodies were scorched by the fire, and they were not far from death.
Liu An asked them to give them a good time, and then divided half of the soldiers to extinguish the fire in the village, while Liu An took Lu Bu and Zhang Fei and went straight to the Legen tribe.
After coming to the Legen tribe, Liu An did not directly forcibly rush to kill, but threw the head of his leader into the opponent's camp and tried to persuade his troops to surrender.
