That night, He Basheng really led the army to camp along the Hukou Stream, where the water and grass were fertile, suitable for the Xianbei cavalry to herd horses.

To say that this Xianbei people, although they have also ruled the north, but except for a small number of people, most of the Xianbei people are not seriously sinicized.

Duan Rival lost the hearts of the people in Qingzhou before, because Duan Rival was bent on pursuing Sinicization, which affected the interests of the Xianbei nobles, especially after changing the previous conscription and promotion system, the Xianbei warriors almost turned their hearts to He Basheng, which was contrary to Duan's rival.

The reason why Duan Weiyang has a certain appeal in Qingzhou is because he belongs to the Xianbei people who are more seriously sinicized, and he is a mixture of Xianbei and Han people, so he is closer to the Han people in his bones.

The reason why He Basheng left the Han soldiers in Luoyang was because he didn't want the Han soldiers to compete with his own Xianbei soldiers, and secondly, the Han soldiers obeyed the orders of Shen Wenxiu, who was a native of Licheng and was well-known.

Duan Pidi knew that he had great talents, so he asked him to go out of the mountain many times to serve as the commander of Qingzhou, and this time He Basheng came out of Qingzhou, not with his brother He Bayue, but with Shen Wenxiu not because he wanted to be good friends with Shen Wenxiu.

It's because they want to take advantage of Shen Wenxiu's absence to slowly gather his prestige and power in Qingzhou.

Shen Wenxiu also understood this matter in his heart, but his promoter Duan Pidi was dead, and he couldn't resist, if he wasn't for his high reputation in Qingzhou, killing him would cause a backlash from the Han people in Qingzhou, I'm afraid that Shen Wenxiu would also be executed by He Basheng with an excuse.

After He Basheng set up camp, he ordered the Xianbei cavalry to graze horses nearby, and then let people start to live and cook.

A subordinate suggested that He Batsheng send a sentry to investigate the surrounding situation, but He Batsheng smiled disdainfully: "Now that the Southern Qi army is in Yangcheng, and Western Qin Yuwenzhi is near Tongguan, there is a shortage of soldiers and food, so you can take a little guard at night." ”

He Basheng's self-confidence is not without reason, he knows that Yuwenzhi is also outside the pass, but he has already learned that Yuwenzhi's subordinates are all foot soldiers, and there are not many cavalry, and using infantry against cavalry is simply a dead end.

Wei Ran got the news, and after He Basheng set up camp in Hukou Stream, he immediately asked Yu Wenzhi to inform Yu Wenzhi of the news, and agreed to attack the camp tonight.

Among them, Wei Ran ordered Duan Weiyang to lead 2,000 elite cavalry as the vanguard, and Wei Ran led 10,000 foot soldiers to advance.

Yuwen Zhi gathered 500 cavalry and cooperated with Duan Weiyang to fight, and he led 10,000 troops to attack Hebasheng's camp from the west.

Later, Wei Ran ordered the general Chen Chong to lead an army of 10,000 to ambush five miles outside the Hukou Stream, and if he could not see the reinforcements of the Eastern Qin or did not get his own orders, he was not allowed to send troops, but only hidden.

After the explanation, Wei Ran's army took advantage of the night to advance slowly, and Yuwen Zhi also set off slowly from the west side, and did not find He Basheng's sentry horsemen along the way, so Wei Ran was overjoyed, and couldn't help but point to the sky and say: "So God really helps me." ”

At this time, Weiyang led the elite cavalry to the vicinity of Hukou Stream, and saw that the Xianbei soldiers outside He Basheng's camp were very scattered, and he knew immediately that the Xianbei soldiers had made the same old problem again, and they were arrogant.

Duan Weiyang said to his subordinates: "In order to win, the Xianbei soldiers often have inhuman actions, no matter what they do, everyone does not need to panic, they can cut down when they meet people." ”

It turned out that Duan Weiyang had absorbed Zhang Gui's lesson, knowing that the soldiers of the Southern Dynasty had never seen the Xianbei people fighting, and he was afraid that the strange behavior of the Xianbei people would affect his fighting spirit, so he took a preventive shot in advance.

The generals naturally knew how Zhang Gui had been defeated, and the army had already said it, so he said: "Xianbei soldiers are good at doing extraordinary things, intending to frustrate our fighting spirit, we know it, and the general can rest assured." ”

Duan Weiyang nodded, and then sent some cavalry to bypass He Basheng's camp from a distance and observe the distribution of his camp.

He Batsheng camped by the water, the north side was close to the lake, and the doors on three sides were wide open, apparently extremely confident, and did not choose to camp in the mountains.

In this way, Duan Weiyang had an idea in his heart, and called the herald and said: "Inform the King of Qin that He Basheng is not open except for the north road, and all three roads are open, and I will divide my troops to fight straight from three places." ”

Later, he found that most of He Basheng's cavalry and war horses were around the lake, and some were outside the tent, Duan Weiyang thought for a moment, called a partial general and said: "I will give you two hundred men, after rushing into the camp, you don't have to worry about anything, rush to the lake, and use torches to drive the war horses." ”

Then he summoned the two men and said: "I will lead a thousand cavalry to enter from the south gate, and you will fight from both sides, and charge and kill repeatedly, and if you can find Hebalsheng's camp, you don't need to ask me, and kill them on the spot." ”

Duan Weiyang looked at the cavalry of Western Qin, thought for a moment and said, "After you wait to enter, give priority to attacking the war horses of the Hebasheng tribe and make their war horses lose their combat effectiveness." ”

After completing the command, Duan Weiyang learned that Wei Ran was five miles behind him, and immediately ordered an attack.

At this time, He Batsheng was still asleep, and he did not realize the danger coming.

After Duan Weiyang shot two arrows over the sentry at the door, he then raised the fire.

When the Southern Qi cavalry got the news, they immediately attacked from the east and west, and Duan Weiyang personally led the army to enter from the south gate.

Subsequently, the Southern Qi soldiers rushed and killed in the camp, and the Western Qin cavalry used horizontal knives to cut the legs of the Xianbei cavalry.

At this time, the frightened voice of the war horse woke up everyone including He Basheng, and it turned out that after Duan Weiyang shot over the sentry, he immediately ordered two hundred people led by the partial general to rush into the camp, and without saying a word, he went straight to the Qingzhou soldiers and horses.

Later, Duan Weiyang led the army to attack, and this move was also to be able to more effectively rush to the hinterland of the military camp and achieve his goal.

He Basheng hurriedly got up at this time and shouted, "The Western Qin soldiers are attacking the camp?" ”

Seeing that he was silent, He Basheng immediately picked up his weapon and walked out of the camp tent, which was already in chaos outside the camp at this time, and there were slashing cavalry everywhere.

He Basheng saw at a glance that it was not the cavalry of Western Qin, but the cavalry of Southern Qi, so he said angrily: "How can the cavalry of Southern Qi be here." ”

At this time, someone had already discovered a burly man coming out of the camp tent, surrounded by everyone, and knew at a glance that this person must be a general in the army, so the soldiers of the Southern Qi Dynasty swarmed up and began to besiege He Basheng.

He Basheng was brave and good at fighting, and dozens of ordinary soldiers couldn't get close to him, only to see him dodge, and tear a Nanqi cavalry off the horse with one hand, and then directly pulled out the knife at his waist and beheaded it at once.

Then He Batsheng shouted: "Take my war horse!" ”

But seeing that there was no reaction left and right, He Basheng noticed that his war horse was already lying on the ground, missing two legs.

He Batsheng immediately came to his senses, looked at all parts of the camp, and found that the horses lying on the ground were actually longer than people, and immediately reacted: "The cavalry slaughtered our war horses to force us to die here!" ”
