Great Han Empire

Chapter 520 Immediately Shooting the Gun
In September, Changyun Mountain.

Zhenwei General Qu Yi, Li Feng Zhonglang General Zhao Yun, and Xiongnu Zuoxian King Liu Bao led their cavalry to Chaotianyuan first.Thousands of scouts searched the wilderness within a hundred miles, but found no trace of Xianbei.The Xianbei people who used to live in this grassland must have received the news that the Han people were going north to attack, and they all moved north.

Qu Yi ordered the scouts to continue to look for the Xianbei army at Jiluo Mountain to the west of Chaotianyuan and Fuyangju Mountain to the east, and at the same time sent people back to Chuihanyuan to transfer grain and grass.After receiving Qu Yi's military order, General Yan Liang of Huwei Zhonglang, who was stationed in Chuihanyuan, immediately ordered Colonel Gao Shun and Captain Li Yun to take [-] infantry and [-] Xiongnu cavalry to escort the food and grass northward.Just when Gao Shun was about to leave the camp, Captain Xu Huang and Du Wei Yanzhao came with [-] infantry from the Jinxueyuan Camp of the Expeditionary Army to escort food.Yan Liang was overjoyed, and ordered them not to unload the grain, and went directly to Chaotianyuan with Gao Shun.The seven thousand army was commanded by Gao Shun.

Murong Feng paid the price of more than 2000 people in the battle of Shuangyan Mountain, but got nothing.After Zhang Yan's battle, he no longer divided his troops to advance simultaneously, but gathered the army together to advance.Unable to find an opportunity to attack, Murong Feng led his army around in the desert, continuing to look for opportunities to severely injure the Han army.

The army of Mijia and Luozhi Dianluoluo hadn't arrived at Chaotianyuan yet. In order to buy more time for Mijia and Luozhi Dianluoluo, Murongfeng had no choice but to attack to stop the advance of the Han army.If he blindly garrisoned troops in Chaotianyuan and let the Han army attacking northward from three directions quickly rush to Chaotianyuan to assemble, his tens of thousands of horses would most likely be severely attacked by the Han army.More importantly, his support was very fast, the army did not bring enough food and horse fodder, and the leader did not bring out a single animal because he retreated all the way.After the two armies joined forces, the belly of the man and the horse became an urgent matter.Murongfeng must solve this problem before Mijia and Luozhi Yanluoluo rush to Chaotianyuan with their livestock.

Relying on his familiarity with the terrain of the desert, Murong Feng led the army to sneak around, and quietly lurked near Changyun Mountain to attack the Han army's grain transportation convoy.This time he was very lucky. He received a report from the scouts as soon as he arrived at Changyun Mountain.Murong Feng immediately commanded the army to encircle and besiege from all sides.

===

When Gao Shun led his army to Changyun Mountain, he suddenly saw the familiar giant eagle.He had seen this big eagle many times outside Yuyang City, and knew that it was a condor of the Xianbei Black Eagle tribe.Gao Shun immediately ordered the army to stop advancing and set up a car formation as quickly as possible.Soon, Murong Feng and Kui Tou led 5000 cavalry to kill them from all directions at the same time.Seven thousand Han troops and tens of thousands of civilians were immediately besieged by the Xianbei people.Gao Shun was not afraid in the face of danger, and used more than [-] heavy vehicles to form a three-tiered vehicle array inside and outside to resist.

The Xianbei had an absolute advantage in military strength. Under the command of Murong Feng, they feigned an attack on three sides and broke through on the other side, quickly tearing open the first chariot formation of the Han army.Wubao and Wubang led the cavalry to attack the chariot formation first, and the two sides fought fiercely in a narrow space, resulting in many casualties.The Han army was outnumbered and resisted desperately. The tens of thousands of livestock following the convoy were immediately captured by the Xianbei.

Army Sima Xu Zhong saw that the Xianbei had broken through his defensive car formation, he was shocked and angry, and would not retreat until his death.He led the soldiers to counterattack again and again until all 600 people were killed.When Yanzhao rushed to support with four hundred soldiers, there was no living Han soldier in the chariot formation.Yan Zhao couldn't bear the grief and indignation, he raised his knife and yelled, "Kill...kill the Xianbei people, kill them." support.Gao Shun categorically ordered to abandon the outer car formation, and the whole army retreated.

Murong Feng stood in the distance and watched the battlefield, frowning tightly.Due to the sudden appearance of the Xianbei people, the Han army was caught off guard, and the outer car formation was very simple. The Xianbei people tore through the Han army's defense without paying much, but the second car formation was very strong and firm.The attack of the Xianbei was blocked, and the casualties increased.

Xiong Ba came galloping on his horse. "My lord, we have too many casualties, so let's retreat." Xiong Ba shook his head and said, "The Han infantry are very tenacious, with sufficient weapons, and there are tens of thousands of civilians. We want to break through their second chariot before dusk. It's almost impossible."

Murong Feng nodded, then turned to look at the leader next to him.The leader pointed to the battlefield and said: "The Han grain army has no cavalry, ballistas, or chariots. They just used baggage carts to improvise a chariot formation, which is not vulnerable at all. In my opinion, it is better to put They wiped them all out, to boost my Xianbei prestige."

Xiong Ba hastily persuaded: "Your Majesty, the distance to Chaotianyuan is only more than 100 miles away. Once the Han cavalry gets the news, they can kill them in the middle of the night. Now that we have livestock and horse fodder, there is no need to fight with the Han people here." The infantry entangles endlessly. The Han Chinese have 10,000+ infantry, and it is not a big deal if 1 people die, but we only have these tens of thousands of cavalry, and one death is one less. Your Majesty, we cannot afford this kind of battle.”

The leader cursed angrily, raised his whip and shouted: "Kill, order the army to launch a fierce attack, and kill all the Han people!"

Xiong Ba gave him a hard look, then looked at Murong Feng.Murong Feng waved his hand at him and said loudly, "Retreat."

Xiong Ba turned his horse's head and flew up like flying.The leader waved his hands furiously and shouted loudly: "Murongfeng, I am King Xianbei. I order you to continue to attack and kill the Han people, all of them."

Murong Feng looked at him coldly, and said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, you lost your mind when you lost Danhan Mountain. You should keep a clear mind at all times just like you did when you evacuated Danhan Mountain. You are always so aggressive, we can't win this battle, and we can't drive away the Han people, and the thousands of miles of land that King Tanshihuai laid down will soon disappear."

Kuitou's face changed drastically, and his waving hands slowly dropped.Without Murong Feng, would he still be able to become the king in the desert, and would he be able to regain Danhan Mountain?

"Woo... woo..." The long and desolate sound of the horn resounded through the mountains, and the Xianbei people slowly withdrew from the battlefield.

Murong Feng looked up at the eagle in the sky, with a bitter smile on his face.Less than ten years after the death of King Tanshihuai, the Xianbei Kingdom has come to the end of its demise. Thinking about it is like a dream.In the face of today's crisis, can I still turn the tide?Murong Feng thought of leopards.That idiot back then is now the number one hero of the Han Kingdom. He led an army of 10,000+ into the desert, and his determination to destroy Xianbei was as firm as a rock.Thinking of the bloody saber in Leopard's hand, Murong Feng's confidence was suddenly shaken at this moment.can i beat himIf Iron Wolf was still alive, he would be in great pain and face his own clansmen without shame. His best and most trusted brother turned out to be the enemy who slaughtered the Xianbei people.Murong Feng remembered the Jutun battlefield where corpses were strewn across the field, Feng Lie who died in pain, and Leopard who was crying like rain.

Murong Feng has never regretted letting go of the leopard. It was in the past, it is now, and it will be in the future.In his heart, Leopard has always been his most proud masterpiece. He has handed over an invincible warrior, an enemy who can wipe out the Xianbei Kingdom, and a hero who is as famous as him in the world.If you are a hero, you will fight on the battlefield.

"Let's go, we will drive the Han people out of the desert."

In the middle of the night, Zhao Yun came galloping with [-] cavalry.

Gao Shun, Xu Huang, Li Yun and Yan Zhao were covered in blood and knelt down to plead guilty.Looking at the messy battlefield, Zhao Yun was so angry that he was about to burst.

"Both adults, get up." Zhao Yun helped them up one by one, and asked eagerly, "How about the casualties?"

Gao Shun felt a pain in his heart and didn't say it out.Xu Huang said in a low voice: "We killed more than 2000 soldiers and killed [-] enemies."

"How about the food and supplies?"

"All the livestock were lost, and nearly half of the food, grass and horse fodder were taken away by them. Although the weapons were not taken away by them, they were almost used up."

"When did the Xianbei withdraw?"

Xu Huang said: "When it was almost dusk, the Xianbei people took the initiative to withdraw. We were worried that this was Murong Feng's trick, so we didn't dare to withdraw the car formation and waited for the adults to come to help."

Zhao Yun was silent for a long time, then turned to the messenger and said, "Report to General Qu quickly, saying that the food and supplies cannot be replenished for the time being, General Qu must hold out for another three days."

"Report to Lord Yan quickly, and ask him to send more food, grass and livestock."

At the beginning of September, Jianwei General Xu Rong, who had been advancing westward, suddenly led his troops eastward, aiming directly at Chaotianyuan.

Recently, Yan Liyou, the leader of the Wild Wolf Tribe, commanded several teams of cavalry of his own, pretending to be the main cavalry force of Xianbei in the west, attacking frequently, assuming a decisive battle with the Han army, and dragging the Han army westward. , Gradually lured the Han army to the west foot of Zhuoxie Mountain.Yan Liyou assembled an army of [-] here, ready to hit the Han army hard.At this moment, he received a report from the scouts, saying that the Han army had suddenly retreated.Yan Liyou concluded that the Han army was short of food, and immediately led his troops to catch up.

According to his calculation, Xu Rong's army started from Lingwu Valley and attacked Helan Mountain all the way in August. The journey was nearly 20 miles and lasted more than [-] days. The grain, grass and livestock they brought should have been exhausted.The reason why the Han army can still be maintained now is because they raided the Xianbei tribe in the early days and plundered a large number of livestock.Yan Liyou told several of his young commanders that Xu Rong must be retreating now to join other Han troops in Chaotianyuan in order to get food and grass supplements.We are chasing after him, no matter what, we must hit him to avenge blood, and at the same time show the mighty power of our western Xianbei cavalry.The Xianbei people were chased and beaten by Xu Rong, and they were suffocated. When they heard that the commander was going to lead them to chase and beat the Han people, they immediately cheered.A young commander reminded Yanli Youdao, Commander, Lord Luoluoluo has urged the commander several times to rush to Yanran Mountain to assemble, if we delay, it may cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

Yan Liyou touched her bald head, and said disdainfully: "Luozhi Lianluoluo has lost the glory of the past. He is not strong now. Why should I listen to him?"

The little handsome hesitated and said, "Don't you want to go to Chaotianyuan, big handsome?"

"Of course we will. But let's not go in a hurry, lest we be beaten head-on by the Han army." Yan Liyou said with a smile, "If we can drive the Han people out of the desert this time, our loss can be imagined. I know. By that time, Xianbei will no longer be the Xianbei of the past, and the Danhanshan royal court and the Xianbei tribes will surely fall apart." He looked at the crowd and said solemnly, "If everyone wants to live a good life and dominate the desert, This time is the best opportunity, so this soldier cannot be lost. Without strength, we are slaves of others."

Yan Liyou warlord chased after him fiercely.The Han army first blocked with cavalry, slowing down the pursuit speed of the Xianbei, and then began to abandon the carriages. Finally, they killed cattle, alpacas and other livestock that slowed down the army's progress, and let all the infantry ride the captured horses to speed up and retreat.Yan Liyou's confidence increased greatly, she became more firm in her judgment, and the speed of her pursuit suddenly accelerated.The distance between the two sides is getting closer.In order to speed up, the Han army threw away all the cumbersome things, even the crossbows.Although the dozens of ballistas that were discarded were damaged to varying degrees, they were still usable after repairing them. The Han army was obviously chased by the Xianbei people.The two armies ran day and night, one in front and the other behind.

When the Xianbei army chased to Liangang Mountain at the eastern foot of Zhuoxie, Yan Liyou was in a hurry.One hundred miles to the east of Liangang Mountain is Jiluo Mountain, and the Han army can rush to Chaotianyuan to join their earlier army in two days.Yan Liyou thought for a long time, considering that the Han army was not familiar with the terrain of Liangang Mountain and might not dare to cross overnight, so he planned to launch a surprise attack at dawn.The young men couldn't hold back their excitement and agreed repeatedly.But they never expected that the Han army would surround them that night.

When the shrill alarm horn rang through the night, Yan Liyou didn't take it seriously. He confidently told his attendants that this was a small group of Han troops harassing the cavalry, so ignore them and continue to sleep.The attendant panicked and said that the cavalry of the Han army had come to kill him.Yan Liyou opened his mouth to scold him, when he heard earth-shattering shouts of killing from outside the big tent, and the infantry of the Han army rushed down from the mountain like a tide.The Xianbei people were in chaos, wolves ran and rushed, causing countless casualties.Yan Liyou led thousands of cavalry to break out of the siege, turned around and fled westward.Before running five miles, when they passed a valley, they were suddenly shot wildly by the ballista of the Han army.Then the war horses galloped outside the valley, and [-] cavalry rushed into the valley with overwhelming momentum, dealing a heavy blow to the Xianbei people.

The Xianbei people were besieged in the valley, one by one like ferocious wild wolves, rushing from left to right, desperate to break out of the encirclement.Yan Liyou led his bodyguard cavalry to the valley entrance several times, and the last time they even killed Du Weiyan Wuxin and the [-] cavalry defending the valley entrance. They were only a few steps away from escaping the siege, but in a blink of an eye they were He was shot back by thousands of strong archers and dozens of ballistas outside the valley.The two sides fought bloody until dawn.

The Xianbei people fought hard and fought endlessly.Just when Yan Liyou and the Xianbei soldiers were dying, the attack of the Han army stopped suddenly.A captured Xianbei Baichang slowly walked to Yan Liyou from the battle formation of the Han army, "The general of the Han people wants to talk to the general."

Yan Liyou wiped the blood from his face, stretched out his hand to scratch his bloody bare head, grinned and said, "Okay." He turned around and called, "Come on, wipe me clean, I'm going to see you." General of the Han people."

The young handsome men were taken aback and hurriedly stopped them.Yan Liyou scolded: "Isn't it just losing your head? What are you afraid of?" He pointed to his bald head and asked, "Is there still blood?"

The handsome guys shook their heads, not daring to persuade them any more.

"Let's go, I'll go with you to see that Han general." Yan Liyou raised his leg and kicked the hundred leader who was kneeling on the ground, and said angrily, "Chasing after me, it turned out that I was fooled , it just doesn’t make sense.”

===

Xu Rong sat on a stump, and Yan Liyou looked at each other for a long time.Yan Liyou suddenly bowed and said, "Is there anything the general wants from me?"

Xu Rong smiled, pointed to a big rock opposite and said, "Sit down. It's a small matter to find you, and you should be very clear about it."

Yan Liyou approached Xu Rong bluntly, and said very resolutely: "I will not surrender, and neither will my people."

Xu Rong smiled and said, "So, are you willing to be like Tuoba Feng and Lu Ri's deduction?"

"Tuoba Feng?" Yan Liyou was startled, squinting his small eyes and asked, "How do you know about Tuoba Feng? What happened to Tuoba Feng?"

"General Qu Yi and General Zhang Yan have met at Chaotianyuan." Xu Rong said in a low voice, "They sent people to the west to look for me, and I received the news from them three days ago. Enter Tuoba Feng Yue fell in Changyun Mountain, and the whole army was wiped out. Kuitou fled to Chaotianyuan, and Danhan Mountain has been captured by us."

Yan Liyou's face showed shock.

"General Cheqi has already led the main force of the army to Jinxueyuan, and it is estimated that he will arrive at Chaotianyuan soon." Xu Rong stretched out his huge palm and shook it twice in front of Yan Liyou, "Xianbei is over, Murongfeng is gone. No matter what happens, no one can turn the tide."

"Murong Feng arrived in Chaotianyuan?" Yan Liyou asked.

"Yes." Xu Rong nodded, "Maybe you think Murongfeng can save Xianbei, but I can tell you that he can't do it this time either, because General Cheqi didn't intend to attack Langjuxu and Luoyangyuan far away. The battlefield is here. By November, this desert will no longer be your Xianbei clan. At that time, it is not we who want to fight you, but the Huns, Qiang people, Karasuma people and the Xianbei people belonging to the Han Kingdom. Hit you. From this moment on, the Xianbei people are no longer the masters of the desert."

Yan Liyou looked at Xu Rong suspiciously.Xu Rong did not explain, and continued, "You can choose to surrender, so that you can preserve your strength. In the future, you will still be the leader of the wolf tribe, and you can even become king in your own territory. Of course, you can also go back and start a new war with us. , let the wild wolf tribe disappear from the desert.”

Yan Liyou was silent.After a while, he asked, "What is the condition for the general not to kill me?"

"Go and tell Luozhi Yanluoluo that if he negotiates peace with us, the Han Kingdom is willing to make friends with Xianbei in the west for generations, and the Han Kingdom is willing to help him become the king of Xianbei in the west."

"I'm leaving, how will the general arrange my men?"

"Regardless of whether you can convince Luozhi Lianluoluo or not, as long as you go to Jinxueyuan, General Cheqi will return your army to you. Perhaps, you can become the wild wolf king of Xianbei in the west."
