Chapter 13: The Gods
Tanshi Huai's heart was shocked when he heard this, and his face changed greatly.
In the past few days, good news has been spreading, and he even dreamed that he met the gods, indicating that Xianbei will usher in the heyday of the world.
I never thought that he was awakened by the sound of a trumpet in a dream, and when he came out of the big tent, he saw a fire.
At first, he wanted to call his own soldiers to put out the fire, but the fire was already burning in the middle of his breath.
Outside the royal court, there were people everywhere shouting that the Han army was coming.
But the main forces of the Han army on all three routes were defeated, where did the army come from?
Then he saw Yang Ming and the others who came straight to the royal court, all of them wearing three armors, and they were well equipped far beyond imagination.
In addition, seeing the royal court being burned at this time, he was already a frightened bird.
"Catch the sandalwood locust and reward 100 million dollars!" Yang Ming saw Tan Shihuai's reaction, and immediately confirmed the identity of the other party, slapped the horse's belly with both legs, and then stepped forward.
"Capture the sandalwood acacia alive!" The knights behind him shouted and rushed out, and the momentum was overwhelming.
Seeing this, Tanshi Huai lifted the reins and turned the horse's body, and the horse left.
The more than 100 Hun cavalry beside him also rushed out of the royal court.
The two groups of people immediately chased after me in the plain area of the Yinnan hills.
Most of the horses ridden by the Xianbei cavalry were green horses, and the sandalwood acacia sat down on the jujube red and sweated and bloody, and the Han army could not catch up for a while in the plains.
After a while, the sky in the distance was white, and the fifth watch had arrived, and it was about to dawn.
At this time, Yang Ming noticed that Tanshi Huai was wearing a red canopy on his shoulders, which was particularly conspicuous.
The red puffy coat is generally worn by the generals of the Han army, and has many functions such as boosting the morale of the army, temporarily serving as a blanket, and bandaging wounds.
I don't know where I got it.
However, the Hu people are proud of Sinicization, which is not unusual.
"It's the sandalwood locust in the red robe, shoot the horse first!" Yang Ming saw that he couldn't catch up, so he shouted directly.
When the knights of other tribes heard this, those who had bows and crossbows took them down and drew their bows and fired volleys.
For a time, many Xianbei cavalry in front of them fell to the ground with arrows, and one arrow almost hit the tail of the BMW that Tanshi Huai was riding.
Tanshi Huai looked back and saw that the armor of the Han cavalry was shining, and after a little hesitation, he untied the slipknot on his chest and threw the red cloth into the air.
Yang Ming saw the long beard of the sandalwood locust at this time, and immediately stood up and shouted: "The one with the long hair is the sandalwood locust, shoot him first!" ”
When the knights heard this, they fired a volley of crossbows, and an arrow flew past the sandalwood locust, and they almost shot it off their horses.
Tanshi Huai was shocked, directly took out the dagger, cut off the long hair, and then galloped wildly.
Yang Ming couldn't wait to fly forward at this time, but the sandalwood locust horse was too fast, so he could only shout again: "The short-haired one is the sandalwood locust, shoot it quickly!" ”
Hearing this, Tanshi Huai leaned over and didn't dare to raise his head.
The knights fired a salvo of crossbows, but it was hard to reach by this time.
Those Xianbei cavalry also returned to shoot at this time, and the two sides fought from the plains to the hills, and when they rushed to the top of the slope, there was no trace of sandalwood locust.
Yang Ming motioned for everyone to stop the pursuit.
"It's a pity! If only Komeito were here! Wang Rou rode to Yang Ming's side, slightly annoyed, just now he almost shot the sandalwood acacia .
"We've done that." Yang Ming looked back, and there was a lot of smoke rising from Dan Sweat Mountain, and there was a lot of crying.
This Xianbei royal court has now become a hell on earth!
Wang Rou also recovered from her frustration at this time, and looked at the scene in front of her with great excitement.
Although the Wang family had chosen to do their best to help Yang Ming, when Yang Ming said the plan in the Yin Mountain, he also felt that it was impossible.
But now, they've done it!
He turned his head to look at the person beside him again, secretly glad that the family had chosen.
Yang Ming killed Wang Fu and burned the royal court, as Cai Yong commented: Looking up to heaven and earth, a true hero!
After a while, other parts of the other tun came one after another, but Xu Huang was nowhere to be seen for a long time.
"Where is Komei?!" Yang Ming shouted.
"Marquis Xu Jun has fallen into the royal court." A knight shouted.
"You stay here, and the guards will come with me." Yang Ming said that he rode his horse forward, and the guards behind him went with the wind.
Galloping all the way back, from a long distance, Yang Ming saw that hundreds of people were besieging dozens of people by the river, and Xu Huang's mountain axe was particularly dazzling, but he was also barely able to support it.
When the Xianbei cavalry saw that some people had returned and that there were not many of them, they immediately sent out their troops.
The two sides came into contact in an instant, and Yang Ming's long lance immediately poked a person away, and then pulled out the ring head knife, slashing left and right and rushing straight forward.
The personal guards were fierce, and in an instant, they had already defeated the Xianbei cavalry who came to intercept them, and rushed through a hole in the encirclement.
Xu Huang saw Yang Ming go and return from a distance, and he was shocked.
"Sima is here to save me, and I will go out with my killing!" With that, the big axe split the belligerents and rode forward to meet them.
The two sides soon converged and headed east.
Hundreds of Xianbei cavalry behind him were in hot pursuit, holding bows and shooting arrows.
The two sides fought as they walked, and suddenly another cavalry arrived in front of them.
Caught between the front and back, they were about to be encircled again.
"Sima go first!" Xu Huang turned around, not wanting to hurt Yang Ming because of himself.
"Don't panic, it's Shuyou." Yang Ming also stopped.
The person who came was Wang Rou, and he still couldn't rest assured that Yang Ming would go against him, so he violated the military order and led the Bentun knight to pick him up.
The three of them merged in one place, turned around and fought back, and defeated the pursuing Xianbei cavalry.
"It's white, don't fight." Seeing a knight in pursuit, he shouted and ran westward.
Not long after they returned to the hills, more than five hundred horsemen had broken thirty or forty men.
The soldiers who remained in the royal court should have three or four thousand people.
If it had not been for the fire attack, they would not have succeeded.
"Sima, where are we going?" Lu Bu stepped forward and asked.
Due to the accidental defection of the guide, although they burned the royal court, how to return and where to go became a big problem.
Especially when the royal court was burned, I saw many Han army baggage, presumably the Han army was defeated, at this time, not only Mobei, but also all over the border county may be full of Xianbei cavalry.
Yang Ming thought for a moment, and then said, "If you are good, go to Mayi." ”
The Hu people went south from the state, and there were generally three routes, separated by the Manhan Mountain and the Hongtao Mountain:
One is north of the Manhan Mountain, passing through the Hongluo Valley into the clouds, and then going south along the Hetao Plain, directly hitting Guanzhong;
The second is to the east of Hongtao Mountain, go to Pingcheng, go all the way south to Yanmen Pass, there is a small hill named Baishan Mountain near Pingcheng, which is the place where Liu Bang was besieged in the past;
The third is between the Manhan Mountain and the Hongtao Mountain, the first line of Shanwu and Mayi;
On the northwest side of Shanwu, there is a killing Hukou connected with the clouds, which is originally a border fortress, and it is named because the Hu people have been killed a lot.
However, since the Hande Hetao, killing Hukou has become a hinterland pass, and its importance has declined, and its road is not as smooth as the Pingcheng route, and the Hu people do not often walk.
In addition, Mayi is outside Yanmen Pass, so it has no strategic value.
Yang Ming's choice of this route is also to judge that Xianbei has not yet penetrated into the hinterland of Yanmen.
No one objected, and Yang Ming led them to accomplish such a feat, which was like a god in their hearts at this time.
……
After wandering outside for a few hours, Tanshi Huai met the main force of the central Xianbei of Beihuan, and returned to the Xianbei royal court together.
At this time, the fire in the royal court had not been extinguished, and the outer rocks of the Danhan Mountain had been burned to the ground.
A fire of this magnitude could not be extinguished by manpower alone.
What's more, even if they want to save it, even if the river is on the side, they don't have any utensils to hold water, and all of them are destroyed in the sea of fire!
Destroyed in the fire were also the heavy grain and grass they had captured in the first battle of the Han army, as well as the cattle and sheep and other meat they had been hoarding here.
Of course, and most importantly, the gold, silver, and five-baht coins they have accumulated over the years!
Looking at the fire that could no longer be extinguished, the tribal nobles in the middle of Xianbei all knelt down and begged the gods.
However, at this time, the sun is still shining, and the rain is a luxury.
"Great Khan, is this the punishment of the gods for my people?" A nobleman cried and turned back.
They have robbed the Han people for more than 20 years, and they have killed more Han people than they can count.
Tan Shihuai looked at each other, his face cloudy.
He subconsciously reached out to touch his long hair, but found that it had become a short hair, and his face was immediately stunned.
Fart punishment! This is all thanks to the young general of the Han army!
The general was only eighteen or nineteen years old, and the gods did not know how he suddenly appeared in the royal court.
Even at this moment, he automatically thought of another person in history who was also so young: Huo Quai.
That was the unborn general of the Han Dynasty, and the Huns who fought did not dare to cross the Yin Mountain in the south, could it be that the Han Dynasty produced another such character?
He couldn't confirm this, but the nobleman's cries made him realize that he needed to do something as the Great Khan.
"Where's the shaman?" He spoke.
It's impossible to rain in this weather, but you have to make a move.
And he couldn't ask for rain, just let the shaman take the blame, that guy used his identity to bully the tribesmen in private, and just borrowed his head to stabilize the tribesmen.
"Great Khan, the shaman is dead." Some Xianbei people replied.
Tanshi Huai frowned, this is really not the time to die.
"The holy relics were also taken away by the Han Chinese." The Xianbei man continued, he had failed to besiege and kill the people who had robbed the holy relics, and the pursuit was defeated by the generals supported by the Han Chinese, and he was lucky to survive.
Tanshi Huai's eyes widened at this time, the shaman's death is small, and the loss of holy relics is big.
"Boom~"
At this moment, a loud roar was suddenly heard in the distance.
The crowd was drawn to the sound.
The Dan Khan Mountain, which had been burned red by the fire earlier, could no longer support it, and the cracks became faults, and most of the mountain made a loud noise and fell down directly, kicking up the ashes in the sky.
Everyone was stunned, although after the boulder slid down, it was considered to have used physical methods to extinguish most of the fire.
However, it also completely buried their royal court!
The royal court is the spiritual symbol of the nomadic tribe, the totem of Xianbei!
"Poof!"
Tanshi Huai finally spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell off the horse.
"Great Khan?"
"Great Khan!"
The crowd panicked.
Tanshi Huai endured the pain and was helped up by his own soldiers.
At this time, his mouth was full of blood, but he gritted his teeth and gave an order: "Go and summon the eastern Xianbei, and the three of them will attack the cities of Dingxiang together!" ”
The previous three armies, the Han army of Daijun and Yanmen were almost completely annihilated, and only half of Yunzhong fled all the way back and held on to the fortified cities of Dingxiang.
Now that the grain and grass are all destroyed, these cities must be conquered in order to obtain new resources.
Of course, there is another point, Xianbei is the loose sand that he forcibly glued together, and if there is a large-scale food shortage, it will be chaotic.
To fight those cities is what they need to win, and to consume as many of the Xianbei population as possible.
