A thousand-year-old family that began with the Battle of Makino

Chapter 530 Yuwen Xianbei's plan to drive away wolves, Tuoba's night battle in Qingquan

"The thing is like this. Everyone, do you have any good ideas?"

At the Xia Army camp, Bai Lin once again raised the tent to discuss matters.

"Your Majesty, we have received a letter from the court. Reinforcements have been dispatched, led by the prince himself. However, since most of them are infantry, it will take another month and a half to reach Guangyang. I'm afraid Jizhou can't wait any longer.

I think it is possible to send someone to Yuwen Xianbei as an envoy, promising huge profits and giving him an official title, so that he can attack the rear flanks of the Tuoba tribe and the Murong tribe to break the siege of Jizhou. "

Yan Qi, the chief secretary of the Dongwu Palace, made suggestions to Bai Lin.

Bai Lin worriedly said: "In any case, Yuwenbu, like Tuoba, Duanbu, and Murong, are all from Xianbei. Let's not talk about the issue of trust. Will they send troops at this time?
Do they dare to offend Tuoba and Murong?

As far as I know, the Yuwen tribe has always had no strength among the Xianbei tribes, so it may be difficult for them to help. "

Yan Qi smiled and said:
"Although your Majesty knows the first, he doesn't know the second.

Although this Yuwen tribe is from Xianbei like Murong and other tribes, because they have lived in pursuit of water and grass for a long time, their vision and overall view are far behind Murong Huang, Tuoba Yina and others.

In their eyes, there is no distinction between Xianbei and Han people at all, only those who are beneficial to them and those who are not beneficial to them.

Since the Tuoba, Murong and Duan tribes all rose up because they attached themselves to the Central Plains and were able to settle in the pass, the Yuwen tribe was very envious of them.

If the king promises to use the pastures in the pass and confer titles on their leaders, the Ministry of Yuwen will definitely send troops to attack the rear of Tuoba and Murong, which will help the Guangyang battlefield. "

Bai Lin was wary of inviting foreigners in and looked at Yuan An.

Yuan An analyzed from a military perspective that this would be of great help to this battle, so he agreed with Yan Qi's opinion, but said with some worry:
"How about asking the imperial court for instructions?"

Seeing that Yuan An agreed, Bai Lin immediately decided:

"The military situation is getting increasingly urgent, and Jizhou cannot afford to wait. It is too late to ask the imperial court for instructions. If anything happens in the future, I will bear it all."

"Yan Qi!"

"My subordinate is here."

"In my capacity as the Grand Governor, I appoint you as the envoy and Dongyi Colonel to the Yuwen Department.

You have the right to make an immediate decision. After obtaining Yuwen's reinforcements, you will lead Yuwen's cavalry to harass Tuoba and Murong's rear. "

"Respect."

July rd
After more than ten days of marching, Yan Qi and more than 800 riders arrived at the Yuwen Department and met the leader of the Yuwen Department, Yuwen Mogui.

"I am the envoy of King Dongwu and the captain of Dongyi. I am sent as an envoy to your tribe by the order of King Dongwu of Daxia."

Yuwen Mogui introduced Yan Qi into the big account very respectfully.

Although the Yuwen tribe has some strength, compared to other small tribes, it is not strong enough for Tuoba and Murong, and it is even smaller for the behemoth of Daxia.

Yuwen Mogui knew that the reason why Tuoba, Murong, and Duan Bu had their current status was because they relied on the Jin court.

Yan Qi sat down, took a sip of the grassland's special wine, and said to Yuwen Mogui who was standing above him:

"Chief Yuwen, your great fortune has come, and the spring of Yuwen Department has come."

Yuwen Mogui said doubtfully:
"Why did the messenger say this?"

“Leader Yuwen, you should know that I, Daxia, have already taken over Hebei and suppressed Northern Xinjiang.

However, Tuoba and Murong respected the Jin court and the Duan tribe rebelled, which Daxia could not tolerate. Therefore, the imperial court sent more than 200,000 troops, with King Dongwu as the commander-in-chief, to pacify the three Xianbei tribes.

But you also know that the Xianbei people have never settled in a fixed place and come and go without a trace. Although we can pacify them, it will take extra time.

The Xia people never wanted to delay the livelihood of the people because of war, so they wanted to end the war quickly.

This is not because our country is afraid, but to avoid unnecessary losses.

So I recommended you to King Dongwu, saying that unlike Tuoba, Murong, and Duan Bu, you just didn't know the name of Daxia in the past, but you didn't respect the Jin court as the main one.

I heard that you were defeated many times by the Murong tribe and the Tuoba tribe. Don’t you want revenge? "

Yuwen Mogui was a little moved, but still asked:
"I can help you, but what can you give me?"

Yan Qidao:
"As long as Chief Yuwen is willing to help us, the imperial court is willing to make you the Duke of Beiping and allow your tribe to move into Beiping County and use the abundant water and grass there.

With so much profit and revenge, who would refuse? "

"Hahaha!" Yuwen Mogui laughed and said:

"Yes, how can I refuse such a generous benefit? I agreed."

Yan Qi smiled and raised his glass: "May Daxia and Yuwen be well."

Yuwen Mogui also raised his glass and said: "May Yuwen and Daxia be well."

July
Yan Qi led the 30,000 Yuwenbu cavalry gathered by the Yuwenbu to invade the northern part of the Dai Kingdom. More than ten Xianbei tribes who originally relied on the Tuoba tribe surrendered to the Yuwenbu.

July 13

Yan Qi led his troops to surround the capital of Dai, the capital of Dai.

July

Hearing that the capital was besieged and more than a dozen tribes surrendered, Tuoba Yina hurriedly bid farewell to Murong Huang and Duan Pixi, led his more than 40,000 horsemen, and hurried back to Dai.

That night, Xia Jun, who heard the news, crossed the river overnight.

When the army was nearly halfway through, Murong and Duan Bu's combined forces of 60,000 arrived at the Xia army's stronghold on the east bank of the Qingquan River.

At this time, only about 40,000 Xia troops crossed the river, and their formation had not yet been fully formed.

Seeing this, Duan Pixun knew that the opportunity must not be missed and would not come back again, so he personally led the army to rush over. Seeing this, Murong Huang also sent Murong Khan with 30,000 men to follow Duan Pixun into the formation, and he led 20,000 cavalry to hold down the formation. .

The war started at night, and everyone could only rely on the light of torches to distinguish ourselves from the enemy, so the scene was very chaotic.

This is not only true for the Xianbei army, but also for the Xia army.

Yuan'an commanded the surrounding soldiers to form a formation to resist the Xianbei cavalry that accidentally rushed into the inner formation.

"Liu Cheng!"

"The general is here!" Liu Cheng, who had already recovered, came to Yuan An.

"Now the east coast is in chaos and we don't have enough troops. I will allocate you a thousand cavalry to find an opportunity to go to Jizhou City and let Tian Xun's army leave the city and attack me from both inside and outside."

"Respect."

"Hu Yanying!"

"The end will be here."

"Beat the drums and gather the troops!"

"Order!"

"Dong dong dong!" The war drums were thundering, very obvious in the dark night.

The confused Xia Army soldiers heard the sound and gathered there like a beacon in the dark, following the sound.

When the Xianbei army heard this, they were like moths flying to the flame, and they rushed towards Yuan'an's headquarters.

For a time, with the thunder of war drums, the battlefield fell into an even more chaotic situation, with Yuan An as the center, falling into infinite killing.

The pressure on Yuan'an headquarters also increased sharply, but fortunately, the soldiers of the headquarters were the fifth military battalion, one of the six battalions, and were able to hold on.

Duan Pixi led his men many times to rush into Yuan'an's main formation, but failed because there were too few soldiers behind him.

He came to Murong Huang and promised:
"If you can send troops and defeat the Xia army, I can give you all the east of Jizhou, and I can take the west of Jizhou. How about that?"

Murong Huang was moved and immediately ordered to send troops.

Twenty thousand cavalry, led by Murong Huang and Duan Pixi, all the sergeants along the way were trampled to pieces by the cavalry, regardless of the Xia army or the Xianbei army.

When Yuan An heard the rumbling sound, which was obviously the sound of the cavalry regiment marching, his face changed drastically. He immediately asked people to cross the river and quickly pulled Mo Daoying across the river.

He also ordered the preparation of defensive cavalry.

Soon, the cavalry led by Murong Huang appeared in the light of Xia Jun's fire.

The Xia army officers turned pale, because they did not have many weapons to defend the cavalry, and they were obviously not well prepared for this battle.

"what!"

Ten groups of Xia troops were knocked away by their horses before the cavalry slowed down. In an instant, more than a thousand elite soldiers of the Xia army lost their lives.

Under the surprise attack, the Xia army's front continued to collapse, and they were about to reach Yuan An.

But thanks to the time created by these Xia Army soldiers with their lives, at this time, hundreds of Mo Dao soldiers urgently mobilized from the West Bank finally arrived at Yuan'an's side.

Ti Yuan'an blocked the Xianbei cavalry who was only a few steps away.

The battlefield once again reached a stalemate, but it was obvious that the Xia army soldiers were dying at twice the rate of the Xianbei army.

The distance to the west of Jizhou City is only a few hundred steps.

Liu Cheng led more than a hundred knights and rushed towards Jizhou City, which was shining with fire in the distance.

Behind him, Murong Khan was still leading the Xianbei cavalry, shooting arrows and taking away the lagging Xia army knights.

Five hundred steps, four hundred steps, three hundred steps, two hundred steps, one hundred steps, there were only a dozen Xia army knights following Liu Cheng.

Because he knew that the war on the east bank of Qingquan River was urgent and only wanted to go to Jizhou City quickly, Liu Cheng did not dare to stay at all. As a result, the cavalry of thousands of people on the road either died in the battle or got lost at night, leaving only these ten people. Several people.

"Whoops!" An arrow flew past Liu Cheng's cheek.

Liu Cheng looked back subconsciously and saw Murong Khan only ten steps away from him.

Without having time to think too much, he turned over and took out the bow and arrow from the saddle, nocked the bow and shot.

"Ah!" Liu Cheng didn't have time to take a closer look. He only heard a voice and continued towards Jizhou City.

Because it was dark, the soldiers at the top of the city heard the voices below the city, but there were Chinese and Xianbei words in them. They were afraid of accidental injury, so they just stayed on guard and did not act rashly.

Tian Zhen had already arrived at the top of the city. He could vaguely see the light of fire on the horizon and the subtle sound of fighting, and knew that a big battle was taking place there.

But he was afraid that it was a conspiracy of the Xianbei people, so he didn't dare to fight.

Liu Cheng came to the city and announced his name loudly.

Tian Tian was overjoyed when he heard Liu Cheng's name and quickly asked about things far away.

Liu Cheng asked someone to bring a torch, so that his face appeared in the dark night so that Tian Tian and others could see clearly, and then gave the order for them to go out of the city to attack the Xianbei army.

Tian Tian had already made a guess, so he had already ordered his soldiers to gather in the city. However, he did not dare to act rashly because he was not sure.

Now with Liu Cheng's confirmation, Tian Tian immediately ordered to go out of the city to kill the enemy.

After opening the city gate, Tian Tian came to Liu Cheng in person and once again confirmed that the letter and token were correct. He left more than a thousand people to guard the city and led all the cavalry in the city towards the east bank of Qingquan River.

July 16th, at the quarter hour.

Tian Tian's tribe finally arrived at the battlefield when Mo Dao's troops were almost exhausted.

Join the battle from behind the Xianbei army.

Under the attack from the front and back, the Xianbei army thought that there were enemy troops everywhere, their morale collapsed and they fled in all directions.

Since Tian Xun's army was a fresh force, they relied on their horse power to constantly pursue the fleeing Xianbei defeated army in order to achieve maximum results.

This defeated.

At dawn, the battlefield fell into silence.

There are corpses staggered everywhere. It can be seen that in the battle last night, there was no distinction between the enemy and ourselves. Many soldiers even died under the sword of their own comrades.

According to statistics, the Xia army suffered 30,000 casualties, beheaded more than 20,000 enemy soldiers, and captured more than 30,000 people.

As for the enemy chieftain Duan Pixi, he was led by Hu Yanying, the general of Zhendong, and only Murong Huang escaped with his remnants.
