Facing the land of attack, Liu Bei did not have the slightest fear.

He led his troops forward, and soon encountered the main force of this Xianbei cavalry more than thirty miles south of Zhangye County, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides.

There is nothing to say about the outcome of the battle, the Xianbei cavalry faced off with the Han army head-on, surrounded by the superior Han legions, and fought until they were defeated and lost, and almost all the army was annihilated.

After the battle, Liu Bei looked at the corpses of the Xianbei cavalry everywhere, and only sneered at them.

"I really thought that they could fight, but I didn't think that it was such a group of waste, just like that, and they dared to invade Liangzhou? If they dare to invade Liangzhou like this, then I will come and not be rude! ”

Jia Xu, who was heavily armed beside him, easily held back the smile on his face.

The conscience of heaven and earth, your old man fed the soldiers of the Han Army three meals a day to be fat and strong, ran laps every day to practice physical strength, and also engaged in various fighting training, and gave enough money.

He had never seen such a professional and strong army when he was so old.

The northern army of Luoyang may not be as complete as the elite equipment under Liu Bei's command.

Liu Bei's army is basically an army piled up with money, the soldiers are full of money, and the action of the army is a huge amount of money, and Jia Xu is dazzled.

The strength of this army is estimated to be comparable to the cavalry that Emperor Wu swept across Mobei back then, right?

Xianbei people are indeed fierce, but there is also a gap between the rich and the poor within the Xianbei people, and not everyone can eat enough, or simply because they can't eat enough to plunder in the south, the fat and strong elite does exist, but the skinny skinny monkey is the main body.

At best, it's a hungry wolf, not strong.

You take a pack of tigers armed to the teeth against a pack of hungry wolves, how can you not win?

Seriously, when this Xianbei cavalry faced the Han army, it did show the courage to fight fiercely with the Han army.

They have indeed taken their riding and archery skills to the extreme.

However, the defense of the Han cavalry was too good, and the horse bows of the Xianbei people could not break the armor of the Han army, and could not cause effective damage to the Han cavalry, but they were taken away by the crossbows of the Han cavalry.

Then the Han army shock cavalry began to attack with spears, and the Xianbei cavalry saw that the bow and crossbow were not advantageous for shooting, and the other Han army was also a cavalry, so there was no way, and they waved all kinds of weapons in their hands to engage the Han army.

That's true.

Weakness and ignorance have never been an obstacle to survival.

Arrogance is.

In the face of the superior Han army, these Xianbei people actually took the initiative to confront the Han army head-on.

The ending speaks for itself.

The sophisticated weapons and solid armor of the Han army played a role in this way, and in the fierce battle, the Xianbei cavalry was cut off one after another, and the Han cavalry was indomitable, and the Xianbei cavalry quickly fell into disadvantage and was defeated.

Cheng Pu and Han Dang each led a thousand cavalry in a surprise attack during the battle, which was the first time they launched a military campaign as Liu Bei's subordinates, and they were full of merit to show their abilities and gain the foundation for their lives.

Therefore, they behaved extremely bravely, personally leading the troops to assault, and the two of them attacked the Xianbei cavalry on the left and right, and turned the Xianbei cavalry on their backs.

Cheng Pu held up a spear and stabbed to death a well-dressed Xianbei general.

Han Dang was even more desperate, directly approaching a Xianbei general on the horse, picking up his own hand axe and going up, directly smashing the head of the Xianbei general.

The performance of the two was very impressive in this fight.

In the end, the commander of this Xianbei cavalry tried to escape, but in the state of being surrounded by the Han cavalry, he couldn't run out at all, rushed left and right, and just ran into the personal guard cavalry led by Liu Bei, and was put down by Liu Bei with an arrow, fell to the ground and died.

In this battle, the losses of the Han army can be said to be very small, but the results are very large.

This Xianbei cavalry plundered a lot of property, and even captured more than 3,000 Han people to go back as slaves, and were all rescued by Liu Bei.

The Xianbei cavalry killed in the battle were all beheaded, and the living prisoners were also ordered by Liu Bei to be beheaded, the corpses were dug in a large pit and buried, and the heads were treated with lime to prepare for the construction of the Beijing Temple.

After the war, Liu Bei convened a military meeting to prepare to expand the war.

"Xianbei barbarian thieves don't know whether they live or die, I thought they were so elite and brave, but I didn't expect that they were just such a group of people who sold their heads, in this case, how could I not buy their heads?"

After Liu Bei prepared to defeat the Xianbei cavalry who invaded Liangzhou, he pursued them the same way and smashed their lair to give them a big surprise.

"Come and don't be rude, if they dare to invade my realm, kill my father, and take my property, I will build a Beijing Temple in their station!"

In this regard, both Zhao and Jia Xu are supportive, believing that this is okay, and the arrogance of the Xianbei people may come to an end today.

Gai Xun was also inspired by Liu Bei's ambition and bravery, and also thought that it was a good choice to fight back.

"The elders of the counties and counties of Liangzhou have been bitter and humble for a long time, and the princes are proud and ambitious, if they break the Xianbei, the fathers and elders of the counties will definitely be grateful for the kindness of the monarchs and marquises, and every household is willing to obey the orders of the princes, so there is no one in Liangzhou who dares to disobey the orders of the princes."

So Liu Bei made a decision and ordered the Liangzhou Prefecture to prepare for the expedition of this 15,000-strong Han cavalry.

Of course, it is not necessary to prepare too much grain, once you enter the opponent's territory, if you go deeper, it is an inevitable choice to fight to feed the war.

After such a battle, Liu Bei captured more than 10,000 good horses that were uninjured, as well as more than 3,000 wounded horses, more than 3,000 dead horses, and about 50,000 sheep, which was very large.

Liu Bei then ordered that the good horses, the injured horses and the sheep that were not seriously injured should be sent back to the Animal Husbandry Department for management, and ordered the soldiers to slaughter all the dead horses and the injured horses that were too bad.

With the help of the firehead army, the soldiers picked out the good horse meat, and then smeared and salted it with fine salt specially provided by the army to increase the shelf life of the horse meat, and selected 10,000 fat sheep to accompany the army, and used these horse meat and fat sheep as the army's rations.

With such a great victory in the first battle, the morale of the Han army was greatly boosted, and they followed Liu Bei to continue to move forward, successfully relieving the worries of Zhangye County.

Liu Bei did not enter Zhangye County, but met the Zhangye County Guard outside the city, and the Zhangye County Guard greeted Liu Bei tremblingly, thanking Liu Bei for his rescue.

"Continue to do what you have to do, and to assist the logistics of the army, the war is not over, the army will continue to fight back, you must not slacken."

Liu Bei gave a few words of advice, and then continued to lead the troops to Jiuquan County.

Looking at Liu Bei's army leaving in an orderly manner, without the slightest sign of disturbing the people, Cao Mulan, the Gong of Zhangye County, sighed to the Zhangye County Guard.

"People say that Liu Lingjun is strict in governing the army, good at using soldiers, and dares to win decisive battles, and now when I look at it, how can such a mighty and strong army not win? Xianbei people are afraid that they will have to suffer this time. ”

"It is right for the barbarians to invade my territory and suffer hardships, but I don't know if the envoy is dissatisfied with me, and if he is dissatisfied with me, how can I disobey his orders? Only this time, it's really not my fault, where can a county resist the plundering of 10,000 people? ”

Zhangye Junshou looked bitter, shook his head, sighed, stopped talking about this, and went to prepare for the logistics of the army.

He only hoped that Liu Bei wouldn't replace him because of this matter.

The lessons of Wuwei County's past are still in front of him, and he is very clear.
