Chapter 689: I haven't been beaten
If Bu Dugen really united with other Xianbei tribes, invited foreign aid back, and intercepted Yang Zhao, most of the main forces of those foreign aid were still cavalry.
There are many war horses on the steppe, and the cavalry has a great advantage.
Budugen doesn't raise horses, it doesn't mean that other tribes can't raise horses, and there are still many horse farms for Xianbei people.
But it is well known that cavalry is not conducive to a back attack.
The cavalry's target is large, and once it is attacked from the back, it will have to slow down and become a live target for archers.
If they can't take the high ground, the revenge water will continue to be cut off, and Danhan Mountain will fall into a state of no water available, and they can die in a hurry.
It was very difficult for the cavalry to attack on the back, and this was Yang Zhao's advantage, taking advantage of the high ground to condescendingly attack the Xianbei cavalry and gather them under the high ground.
Once they found out that the cavalry could not be used to attack the high ground, they would use artillery, as well as the infantry to attack, and the infantry would rush to the high ground with heavy shields, and the speed would not be very fast, there were too many restrictions, and it was not difficult for Yang Zhao to resist.
"If the enemy attacks with artillery, we can dig trenches and use trenches to resist the enemy's iron bullets."
Yang Zhao said: "Kong Ming is right, the high ground here is our next position, the beginning of the destruction of Xianbei, whether it is cavalry or infantry, it is not easy for Xianbei people to storm up, as long as we make good use of this advantage, we can hold on until, and the army behind is coming." ”
Hearing his words, Zhao Yun and the others suddenly relaxed a lot.
With the advantage of the terrain and their defense, it will not be a big problem.
The food they carried with them was also sufficient, and they also looted other tribes along the way, and they also looted a lot of food back, which was enough for them to support themselves.
Until the arrival of the army behind.
"Two thousand people will come and stop the enemy's water."
"All the rest of the upper ground, set up war horses, and dig trenches."
Yang Zhao ordered.
"Yes!"
The crowd responded.
Yang Zhao and Zhuge Liang first came to that piece of height.
The rest of the soldiers, as ordered, went about their work and prepared enough defenses.
——
Inside the royal court.
Bu Dugen had already gotten the news that Yang Zhao had already killed, and even came to the vicinity of Danhan Mountain.
He was worried that Yang Zhao would come directly to attack the city, so he hurriedly ordered the whole city to strengthen its defenses and prepare to deal with Yang Zhao's attack, but after waiting for a while, he couldn't see Yang Zhao killing, and it was quiet outside the city, so he sent someone to investigate.
"Yang Zhao went to the back of Danhan Mountain?"
Bu Dugen soon got the latest news, and said puzzledly: "Yang Zhao went to the back, what are you going to do?" ”
Sima Yi didn't understand very well, since they all came to the vicinity of Danhan Mountain, why didn't they come directly to attack the royal court, but went to the rear of the royal court, this kind of operation made people feel puzzled.
"Could it be that Yang Zhao has other tricks?"
Sima Yi said worriedly.
When Budugen heard this, he was a little nervous.
If there really is some trickery, what will they do if they are humiliated?
Just as he was thinking this, someone from outside came in and said, "Shan Yu, Qian Man Shan Yu is here." ”
Qian Man is the son of Helian and the grandson of Tanshi Huai.
After Helian died, Qianman and Budugen's eldest brother Kuitou competed for power, and later the leader died, Budugen ascended to the throne, Qianman couldn't compete, so he tended to decline, and finally could only become the leader of a small tribe.
In addition to Qianman, there are also Putou, Tho Rahu, Shama Khan, etc., various tribes of Xianbei.
Outside of Budugen, the largest Xianbei tribe is Kebi Nengbu, and Kebi Neng has not brought those tribes of Xianbei in their east to meet with Budugen.
Qian Man and Bu Dugen can be regarded as having some grievances, but they can also come to Danhan Mountain at this time, and Bu Dugen immediately said: "Bring him in." ”
After a while, a tall man walked in.
Qian Man first asked: "Budu Gen Danyu, I heard that the Duke of Qi of the Han Dynasty has come in?" ”
Bu Dugen said: "It has been brought in, but he did not come directly to attack the royal court of Danhan Mountain, but went to the rear of Danhan Mountain, I don't know what he is doing, but this big Han Qi Gong is very ambitious, he is going to destroy our Xianbei and destroy our roots." ”
Qian Man said angrily: "That Yang Zhao, how dare he?" ”
Danhan Mountain is an industry left by his grandfather, and the Xianbei of that year was also integrated by Tanshi Huai.
Although the prestige of Tanshi Huai has almost disappeared at this time, Qianman still worships his grandfather and regards him as an idol, how could Danhan Mountain fall into the hands of Yang Zhao and be destroyed by Yang Zhao?
"I brought 50,000 cavalry."
Qian Man said confidently: "This is the sum of all the cavalry of my subordinates, I will go out and kill Yang Zhao!" ”
Hearing that he still had so many cavalry, Budugen was surprised and envious.
I think back then, when their subordinates were not corrupted by Yang Zhao, they could casually take out fifty or sixty thousand cavalry, but this was only the least, and he didn't know how many cavalry there were at the most.
Because of the horse farms of various tribes under his subordinates, there are a lot of war horses, and a group of cavalry can be pulled out at will.
Now that it has been destroyed by Yang Zhao, even the war horse has become a rarity, so that he can only envy Qianman.
"Qianman, don't be reckless."
Bu Dugen said: "Yang Zhao's strength is not weak, you don't know him, if you go out, you will be sent to death!" ”
Qian Man said disdainfully: "That's your cowardice!" See how I can bring his head back and restore my grandfather's glory, huh! ”
With that, he walked straight outside.
Bu Dugen wanted to say something more, but Sima Yi said: "Shan Yu doesn't have to be in a hurry, someone just helped us to give it a try, isn't it good that Yang Zhao is doing now?" ”
When Budugen heard it, he felt that it was right.
Anyway, Qian Man is a person who doesn't accept the beating of society, and he doesn't know what is wrong.
That's okay!
Qian Man went out of the royal court of Danhan Mountain, and directly led the soldiers outside the city to kill the rear of Danhan Mountain.
The dragon and tiger two guards are blocking the revenge water.
The rest of the soldiers, having set up their horses, dug trenches on the high ground.
The excavated earth was then placed on the edge of the trench to increase the defense of the trench and prevent the artillery from hitting it.
"My lord, there is a cavalry of about 50,000 men rushing towards us."
At this time, the shadow man came back and said.
Yang Zhao was stunned when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Xianbei people still dare to provoke? Zilong, these 50,000 people are for you, can you fight? ”
There are only about 30,000 of them here.
Fifty thousand cavalry, as large as it sounds, seems to be able to crush them at will.
However, in Yang Zhao's opinion, it is actually not very good.
The strength of the heavy cavalry is confident that the Xianbei cavalry will be defeated.
"I can fight!"
Zhao Yun immediately said: "Obey all orders and fight!" ”
All the hoplites got on their horses.
They were armoured, and even their horses were armoured, and they rushed down from the high ground with great force.
The 50,000 people led by Qian Man came to the vicinity of the Qiu Water.
Seeing those dragon and tiger guards who were blocking the river, Qian Man was shocked: "Their purpose is to intercept the revenge water, and kill them quickly!" ”
Of course he knew the importance of Qiu Shui, and he definitely couldn't let Yang Zhao succeed
But as soon as he had done so, the hoplites sprinted down from the high ground.
