Yan Rou led the two battalions of Shooting Yingtong and Li Su to chase fiercely all the way, and unknowingly opened a distance of more than 100 miles with Zhang Yan's army. ∮ Yan Moxuan ∮ ad-free ∮

When the iron cavalry was resting halfway, Li Su said to Yan Rou: "My lord, are we suspending the pursuit and waiting for General Zhang?" ”

Yan Rou lowered her head and concentrated on eating the dry food in her hand, without saying a word, as if she hadn't heard it. Li Su hesitated, but couldn't help but persuade: "My lord, we are chasing after us relentlessly, and if we are more than 100 miles away from Lord Zhang's infantry, we will form a lonely army to go deeper." There are 20,000 men at the head, and we only have 8,000 men, and if he ambushes us, we will lose a lot. ”

Li Su said this very tactfully. If the iron cavalry really fell into the ambush of the Xianbei people and suffered heavy losses, Yan Rou would be punished by military discipline and might lose his head. Before the army left the fortress, Zhang Yan repeatedly said that the distance between the front and rear armies should not exceed fifty miles, and the two armies should protect each other. Now that the front army is more than a hundred miles away from the rear army, Zhang Yan's military order has long been violated, but Yan Rou still has no intention of stopping the pursuit. Yan is rough and bold, acts steadily, and has never violated military orders on the battlefield, why is it abnormal this time? Yan Rou finished eating, wiped her mouth, and fell to sleep.

Li Su and She Yingtong looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Li Su sat beside Yan Rou and said with a smile: "In this expedition to the desert, the generals and soldiers are divided into three ways and march together. If our group loses the battle and cannot meet in Chaotianyuan within the time specified by the general, which affects the general's expeditionary strategy, then the responsibility will be great. ”

Yan Rou glanced at him, "Little lazy, what do you mean?" Threatening me with the General? ”

She Yingtong smiled: "My lord, I really can't chase anymore." Although we Xianbei people are very familiar with the terrain of the desert, it cannot be ruled out that some people will betray them. I think Xiao Lazy is right, let's be safe and keep our distance from Master Zhang. ”

Yan Rou sat up, pointed at Li Su with a serious expression and asked, "Mu Tao and Mu Li brothers don't have any abnormal behavior, right?" You're going to keep an eye on me. They turned out to be people from the royal court of Danhan Mountain, and it was impossible for them to have no ideas in their hearts when they saw that we had defeated the leader and occupied Danhan Mountain. You pay attention to me, I can't have an accident at this time. ”

"Your Excellency is too worried." She sat down opposite Yan Rou and said, "When we left the Wuyuan camp, the general once convened us to discuss matters. He said that when there is no more war in northern Xinjiang, he will give us pasture, countless cattle and sheep, so that our people can live a prosperous life. With this promise from the general, what are we going to betray? Can betrayal bring us pasture and wealth? The brothers Mu Tao and Mu Li were also the leaders of a small tribe in Danhan Mountain in the past, and after their defeat in Western Xinjiang, the tribe of the two brothers was immediately annexed by other large tribes in Danhan Mountain. You say the two of them will still work for the leader? This expedition to the desert can help them find their tribesmen, and allow them to rebuild their tribe in Danhan Mountain, do you say that Mu Tao Mu Li will betray the general? ”

Yan Rou said worriedly: "That's right, but people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, who knows what others think." He pointed to the two and said, "You can rest too, and we'll continue chasing." ”

"Do you want to chase after you?" Li Su shook his head helplessly, "My lord, if you ......"

"You two are annoyed." Yan Rou waved his hand impatiently and said, "The head gave up Dan Khan Mountain, retreated again and again, except for being beaten by Xiao Lazy at the foot of Dan Khan Mountain, he was unscathed, what good is this for our expedition to Sunset Plains?" ”

"Adults want to hit him?" Li Su asked, "But we don't have enough troops, and once we fight, the losses will be too great." ”

"If we lose a lot, won't the loss of the leader be small?" Yan Rou said, "Fighting to the death with us can't stop us from going north, so if the leader wants to fight, he will definitely beat our grain and grass." We have lost food and grass, and we have no food for people and horses, can we still go north? ”

"You led us to chase after us, deliberately widening the distance between you and Lord Zhang, to give Kuitou a chance to attack." Li Su asked in surprise, "But Lord Zhang is riding with 22,000 steps, and he has the courage to fight?" ”

"Behind us are Sun Qin, Peng Lie and Ding Bo, only 10,000 foot soldiers." Yan Rou said with a smile, "Lord Zhang, Yu Yigen, Zhilu and Ran Ran are going to stay in Danhan Mountain for two days, and then follow up. ”

"It turns out that you and Lord Zhang already have a plan to destroy the enemy." She smiled with relief, "We thought there was some contradiction between you and Master Zhang." So, isn't the grain and grass that Lord Sun is escorting? ”

"Of course not." Yan Rou slapped Li Su hard, "Do you think I violated the military order?" Is I, Yan Rou, this kind of person who doesn't know what to do? You little bastard, now grown up, and you're talking in my ears all day, get me to bed and leave in half an hour. ”

Li Su grinned in pain, and asked with a bitter face: "What if the leader is not fooled?" ”

"Chase all the way to Atianyuan."

The news from the scouts gave the angry Xianbei an opportunity for revenge.

The leader didn't want to fight, but under the persuasion of a group of leaders of Danhan Mountain, such as Evil Rebellion and Ling Chi, he was still tempted. If the Han army can be defeated and Danhan Mountain can be recaptured, it can not only damage the morale of the Han army, but also hinder the Han army's expedition, and may even force the Han army to abandon the expedition and retreat to the border fortress.

"There are only 10,000 foot soldiers in the middle of the Han people, and even if we can't wipe them all out, we can burn their grain and grass and force them to retreat to the Great Wall." The evil rebel said excitedly, "King, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, fleeting, you have to make a decision immediately." ”

The leader hesitated. If this is the Han army's plan to lure the enemy, the last 20,000 horses in Danhan Mountain will inevitably lose most of them, and when they come to Chaotianyuan in the future, they can only look at other people's faces. But if he wins the battle and defeats the expeditionary army of the Han army on his own, then in the future, he will be a generation of heroes who can call the wind and rain on the desert.

The head gritted his teeth and made up his mind. He ordered the evil rebel and Ling Chi to attack the middle army of the Han army with an army of 10,000, and he took the remaining 10,000 horses and horses to pretend to continue northward to contain the iron cavalry of the Han army.

The Xianbei people set out overnight, and with their familiarity with the desert, they successfully rounded the rear of Yan Rou's army, and launched a surprise attack on the Han army at dusk.

Seeing the Xianbei Iron Rider rushing out from between heaven and earth, Sun Qin waved his hand excitedly and shouted: "Beat the drum...... Train formation ......"

"Brothers, the war has begun......"

The majestic sound of war drums resounded in the desert sky in an instant. The officers and men of the Han army were not afraid of danger, and the soldiers of all departments quickly set up a car formation under the command of Lingqi and lined up a defensive formation. After experiencing the Battle of Yanmen Pass, the officers and men of the Yellow Turban Army had rich experience in blocking the iron cavalry of the Xianbei people. And most importantly, they have the confidence and courage to defeat the Xianbei people.

The men in the rear of the army hurriedly uncovered the rainproof felt cloth on the three thousand baggage wagons and untied the reins of the horses that carried the baggage wagons. In addition to ordnance and food, there were 5,000 Han soldiers and 5,000 heavily armed Karasuma Iron Knights, and the horses carrying the baggage carts were the war horses of the Karasuma soldiers.

Five thousand Han soldiers rushed to the chariot formation under the leadership of their respective superiors.

Under the command of the sound of the horn, 5,000 Karasuma soldiers jumped on their horses and rushed to the field behind the army as fast as they could. They were to line up in this open field, and they needed to be long enough for their horses to reach their speeds.

Ran Ran looked up at Da Xu, who was flying high in the air, with a very complicated expression on his face. He sighed secretly, turned to Sun Qin and said, "Lord Zhang is really amazing. ”

Sun Qin smiled proudly: "Under the general of the chariot cavalry, Master Zhang is only one of the nine commanders, and there are many more powerful than him. ”

"Lord Zhang only took a thousand iron horsemen at the foot of the building, and more than 100,000 people escorted the grain and grass of the army." Ran Ran pointed to the iron cavalry of Danhan Mountain, which was getting closer and closer, and said admiringly, "If Kuitou takes a detour with a large army to return to Danhan Mountain to attack, we will be finished." If it were me, I wouldn't dare to give me a hundred dares. ”

"It's easy to use a few thousand men to pretend to be an army of foot cavalry. It is easy to convince the leader that we are escorting the army of food and grass, but the difficulty is to convince the leader that he can hit with one blow. Sun Qin raised the whip in his hand and pointed at the Karasuma Iron Cavalry who was lining up at the rear of the army and said, "If the leader doesn't come again, we have to give up." You Karasuma warriors have been hiding in their baggage carts for days, so I'm afraid many people can't stand it, right? ”

"I can't stand it, we're going to curse." Ran Ran smiled and said, "You Han people are too cunning, use this method to trap and kill Xianbei people......" He shook his head and didn't continue.

Sun Qin looked at him and sneered: "There is only one purpose in the war, and that is to kill the other party. ”

Ran Ran heard that his tone was not good, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "My lord, when will we attack?" ”

"You are arrayed in the rear of the army, and when you hear the order, you immediately attack the flanks of the Xianbei people from the left and right flanks of the chariot formation, and you must be quick and ruthless, killing one by one."

The roar of 10,000 Xianbei iron horsemen galloping wildly was deafening. The ground was shaking, the chariots were shaking, and the hearts of the soldiers were beating violently.

Captain Ding Bo stood in the car formation with a shield in one hand and a war knife in the other, looked around at the six hundred ballista cars in a row, scolded a few words viciously, and then shouted: "The ballista is ready to ......."

Except for Wang Dangyu, who was transferred to Yan Liang's subordinates, the rest of Zhang Yan's military horses did not participate in the Northern Xinjiang War. Although they were later also exposed to the light of the great victory in Northern Xinjiang, and everyone was promoted, they were all uncomfortable. Who doesn't want to make a name for themselves in the history of the Cypriots? This expedition to the desert, the generals were ambitious, vowing to fight in the bloody battlefield and make great achievements. Zhang Yan's army stayed in Jinyang with the advantage of being able to get the latest and greatest weapons nearby. On this expedition, the best weapon and equipment is Zhang Yan, a soldier and horse. The armor, strong bows, and crossbows are fully equipped, and the crossbow battalions of the other armies are all 300 ballistas, but Ding Bo's chariot battalion has 600 ballistas. When he left Jinyang, Ding Bo also pulled two hundred Wuhan Iron and Steel chariots from the Jinyang arsenal.

The Xianbei people roared. The battlefield was filled with the angry roars of the Xianbei people and the galloping sound of war horses. The Han army was in full array, and 20,000 people lined up in the field, silent.

Seeing from afar that the Han army had lined up in a very short period of time, he couldn't help but curse angrily. The Han army only had 10,000 men, and even if I set up a blocking car array, I couldn't stop my iron cavalry. Kill it, kill it at all costs into the Han army's car formation, and burn the Han army's grain and grass.

Ding Bo raised his sword and shield high, used all his strength, and raised his head and shouted: "Ballista...... Salvo ......"

In an instant, the war drums beat, and the six hundred ballista cars let out an earth-shattering roar, and countless crossbow arrows rushed out of the car formation, all the way into the Xianbei iron cavalry army. The Xianbei people are like a that has been continuously hit by stormy waves, suddenly collapsed and disappeared. Almost at the same moment, a loud and terrible howl suddenly tore through the bloody air that shrouded the battlefield and rushed straight out of the clouds. At this time, the roar of the huge ballista was still shaking between heaven and earth, and the thrilling roar was restored to the field.

"Brothers, kill it...... Kill it......" Evil Returnee widened his blood-red eyes and roared with all his might.

The horns of the Xianbei people resounded throughout the battlefield. The Iron Cavalry Army did not slow down in the slightest because of the fire of the Han army's ballistas, they were enraged by the bloody slaughter in front of them, and the hatred and anger in their hearts were completely aroused by the Han army's ballistas. The Xianbei people went crazy, and they shouted hoarsely. They struggled to drive their war horses and galloped forward with the flesh and blood of their clansmen, and they wanted to defend the desert with their lives and defend the holy land in their hearts.

"Kill...... Kill ......"

Peng Lie raised his spear, which was eight feet long. His nickname is Zhangpachi, which is derived from this pitch-black Zhanghachi iron spear.

"Guys, shoot ...... Salvo...... Shoot all your arrows, kill the Xianbei, kill the Xianbei......"

Three thousand strong archers stood behind the shield soldiers, and shot the long arrows in their hands at the overwhelming Xianbei Iron Cavalry, and the rain of arrows rose into the sky, and the clear blue sky suddenly darkened. The piercing howl of long arrows tearing through the air was chilling.

The Karasuma people stood at the rear of the battlefield, stunned as countless Xianbei people screamed and died under the wrath of the Han army's arrow array, without any power to fight back. The Karasuma people were terrified, and that bloody fear was deeply engraved into their hearts in this short moment.

Lou Lu's subordinates had followed the Han army to fight the Xiongnu rebels two months earlier, and they had seen the power of the Han army's ballista, but it was the first time they had seen the tremendous power of six hundred ballistas fired at the same time. This kind of power is not something that can be resisted by human beings, and its unparalleled lethality makes people jaw-dropping and chilling all over the body.

It was the first time that Ran Ran and the Karasuma people of Daijun saw this kind of weapon, they were stunned, they couldn't believe that there was such a terrible weapon in the world, no wonder the Xianbei and Xiongnu suffered successive defeats and heavy casualties under the Han army. Ran Ran secretly screamed that he was lucky, he was fortunate to surrender early, otherwise, he might have died under this powerful weapon. He barely managed to compose himself and gripped the spear in his hand hard. Only then did he realize that his palms were covered with cold sweat, and a chill swept through his body involuntarily. He looked up at the scorching sun in the sky. On such a hot day, I even shivered, was I overly nervous?

"My lord, the Xianbei people have changed formations, and they want to split the two wings of the Han army." A handsome man next to Ran Ran suddenly shouted.

Ran Ran was taken aback, and then shouted loudly without thinking: "Blow the trumpet...... Ready to attack......"

As soon as the words fell, the drums were already sounding in the Han army in front of them, and it was Sun Qin who ordered them to attack immediately and intercept the left and right flanks of the Xianbei people.

"Let's go, let's go......" Ran Ran kicked the horse's belly violently, and while galloping wildly, he raised his spear and shouted, "Kill, let's kill......"

The main purpose of the rebellion was to burn the grain and grass of the Han army, not to engage the Han army head-on, so the Xianbei people immediately changed formations after being attacked by the Han army. The evil rebel ordered the iron cavalry on the left and right flanks of the army to attack the flanks of the Han army, intending to break through the Han army's resistance and kill the baggage convoy behind the Han army. As long as the fire is lit, the Han army's grain and grass will be finished.

Due to the very short time of the Han army's formation, it could only be placed in a huge Wuhan Iron and Steel chariot on the frontal battlefield, and as for the left and right sides of the army, because of the protection of the Karasuma Iron Cavalry, the Han army just used a baggage cart to block it casually.

The Xianbei people were divided into three, and the iron cavalry in the middle continued to attack from the front, pinning down the main force of the Han army. In just one hundred and fifty paces, they paid an astonishing price, and just as they were about to crash into battle, the six hundred ballistae had been loaded with the efforts of the non-commissioned officers of the chariot battalion. Six hundred ballistas roared one after another, and the roar of cannons shook the entire battlefield in an instant. The Xianbei Iron Cavalry, who rushed to the front of the chariot formation, was devastated, and they fell to the bloody battlefield like weeds after the rain, and occasionally a few fatal people rushed to the chariot formation and were also pierced by the dense and sharp giant spears of the Wuhan Iron and Steel chariot.

On the two wings of the car formation, the fierce Karasuma Iron Cavalry slashed down fiercely at the flanks of the Xianbei people, and for a while, the sound of killing shook the sky, the roar was like thunder, and the flesh and blood of both sides were killed. At the same time, the Xianbei people who attacked head-on were still attacking the car formation one after another, and a bloody battle began in some places where the Xianbei people broke through.

Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Sun Qin immediately ordered the infantry soldiers on the left and right flanks to quickly attack, surround the Xianbei people, and completely annihilate the Xianbei people.

Now, the Xianbei people's mid-lane iron cavalry has been killed and wounded by the Han army's arrow array, and their two-wing iron cavalry has also fallen into a melee with the Karasuma people. At this time, if the Han army could not take advantage of the numerical advantage to quickly surround the Xianbei people, turn around and flee into the desert, the battle would be in vain. Sun Qin and Peng Lie rushed to the front with their guards.

When the evil rebel saw the Karasuma Iron Cavalry suddenly rushing out from behind the Han army, he immediately understood that he had been fooled.

"Withdraw...... Evacuate ......"

The Xianbei people want to run, but the Karasuma people are stalking, and it is not so easy to run. The melee between the two sides dragged on for a long time, and the Han army immediately completed the encirclement, but by this time it was dark.

After a long period of fierce fighting, the evil rebel finally led a group of guards to fight out of the siege, and the marshal Ling Chi and nearly 8,000 Xianbei iron cavalry were killed by the Han army in this desolate wilderness.
