Murong Feng galloped on the grassland with 30,000 iron horses. ∮ Yan Moxuan ∮ ad-free ∮

This time the Han attacked Xianbei, Murong Feng was prepared, he had long expected that the leopard would march out of Dayan Mountain from the direction of Youzhou, so as to contain himself and Miga's army to support Danhan Mountain and Xianbei in the north. But in the face of today's weakened Xianbei Kingdom, today's Great Han Kingdom and the powerful leopard, he is also powerless and unable to turn the tide.

After the defeat at Yanmen Pass, he saw today's situation. The king and Lian were first defeated in the western Xinjiang and lost most of the troops in Danhan Mountain, and then Tuoba Feng planned in the Yanmen Pass and lost the troops of Xianbei in the north. The decline of Danhan Mountain and Xianbei in the north directly affected the strength of the entire Xianbei country. In the past, in the Xianbei country, the most powerful was the western Xianbei, and then there was Danhan Mountain. A few years ago, in order to weaken the royal power of Danhan Mountain and restrain Tuoba Feng, Murong Feng divided the western Xianbei into two and divided them into two large tribes, the western and the northern. Now, Murong Feng's goal has been achieved, and the strength of Danhan Mountain and Northern Xianbei has been greatly weakened, but today's result is something that Murong Feng did not expect in advance, and he is even more unwilling to see. The situation in the Xianbei Kingdom has not entered a stage of mutual checks and balances and stable development among various ministries as Murong Feng imagined, on the contrary, the situation in the Xianbei Kingdom has become more and more chaotic and uncontrollable after the two defeats.

With the decline of Danhan Mountain and Xianbei in the north, the strength of the Xianbei State was greatly reduced, and the ensuing crisis was the threat from the Great Han State. The Xianbei people have always ignored the Great Han Kingdom, invaded wantonly for decades, and regarded the Great Han Kingdom as a piece of delicious fat, but the birth of the leopard made the northern frontier of the Great Han Kingdom suddenly undergo earth-shaking changes. First, the Xianbei people were defeated in successive battles, and then the leopards were going to fight them. With the character of a leopard, after the defeat of the Xianbei people at Yanmen Pass, he will inevitably take advantage of the victory to attack the Xianbei country. He will not give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to attack, once the Xianbei people are relieved, the situation in northern Xinjiang will be reversed, and the advantage that the Han people have exchanged for the blood and lives of countless soldiers will be lost.

At Yanmen Pass, Murong Feng had painstakingly persuaded Tuoba Feng to temporarily give up the grievances of Hedanhan Mountain and the Xianbei tribes, and unite the tribes as soon as possible to plot a comeback. In Danhan Mountain, Murong Feng also bitterly persuaded the leader to put the Xianbei country first, temporarily cooperate with Tuoba Feng, and not attack Tuoba Feng when he was weak, so as not to cause civil strife, accelerate the deterioration of the situation in Xianbei country, and give the Great Han State an opportunity to take advantage of. But no one listened to Murong Feng, whether it was the leader or Tuoba Feng, the two ignored Murong Feng's warning, and fought in the blink of an eye.

In the eyes of the leaders of the Kuitou, Tuoba Feng and the Xianbei tribes, the two great battles between the Xianbei Kingdom and the Great Han Kingdom were actually a situation of defeat and loss. The Xianbei people were beaten to death, and the Great Han Kingdom was also covered in bruises and unable to move. Although the Great Han Kingdom has a large population and sufficient military resources, the Great Han Kingdom has been in frequent wars in recent years, and its national strength has long been extremely exhausted.

In the final analysis, fighting a war is about money, especially an army like the Han State, which is dominated by infantry, without huge military resources and abundant military supplies, it is simply difficult for the army to move an inch. The Hu people were much better at this, and the soldiers of the army, which were mainly light cavalry, were their people and slaves, and they did not need military salaries, and they could go south to fight as long as they carried countless livestock. In the territory of the Han people, with a large population and wealth, the survival of the army can be basically maintained by fighting war. But if the Han army attacked them, there would be no such convenience. The desert is vast, uninhabited, and the winters are long, and even if the Hu people and their livestock are plundered, it is difficult for the Han army to occupy the land and survive for a long time.

For hundreds of years, in this boundless desert, the Han Kingdom and the Xiongnu, and the Xianbei people, as well as some Qiang people, have spent this kind of mutual attack, what is the result? The desert is still the world of the Hu people, no matter how strong the Han Kingdom is, in the end, it failed to conquer the Hu people in the desert, let alone turn the desert into the territory of the Great Han Kingdom. No Xianbei people are worried that their desert will become a pasture for the Han people, and no one is worried that their people will become slaves of the Han people.

In the Xianbei Kingdom, only Murong Feng did not think so, Murong Feng clearly saw the current situation in Northern Xinjiang, and clearly realized the threat of the Great Han Kingdom, and this threat came from the leopard.

The cavalry of the leopard was almost all Hu people, including the Huns, Qiang, Karasuma and Xianbei. For hundreds of years, the Han army has never had such a powerful Hu iron cavalry. These Hu people are all Hu people who live in the territory of the Great Han Kingdom. Especially those Xiongnu, Karasuma and some Qiang people, their ancestors used to live in the desert Hu people, and later for various reasons were forced to move away from their homes to live in the Han Kingdom, but they all have a blood feud with the Xianbei people.

The Huns in the Han Dynasty went south because of internal divisions, but the Northern Huns who remained in the desert were defeated and exterminated by the Xianbei people, although some of the Northern Huns escaped the killing of the Xianbei people, but it was also thousands of miles away. Because of this, the Southern Xiongnu hated the Xianbei people, and they had always been bloody and cruel in killing the Xianbei people. The Karasuma people and the Xianlingqiang and Dongqiang of Hokuchi County were all defeated by the powerful Xianbei people and fled their homes, and as long as there was a chance for this hatred buried in their bones, they would never let it go. The leopard gave them this opportunity, and the leopard led them to defeat the Xianbei people in a row, giving them incomparable confidence and courage, they wanted to wash away their shame, they wanted to take their people back to the desert, and they wanted to return to the place where their ancestors lived.

Whoever has a huge and powerful iron horse can dominate the desert, which is the unchanging truth in the desert for thousands of years. Murong Feng felt a trace of fear for the leopard's iron horse, this time, can we still defeat the Han army's iron horse?

After several years of bloody battles, the leopard's foot soldiers are now all Yellow Turban sergeants. These soldiers, who were called ant thieves by the Han nobles, were countless in the Han Kingdom, and as long as the leopard gave them dignity and courage and gave them hope for survival, they would follow the leopard without hesitation. Therefore, the leopards are not short of soldiers, so even if the northern army of the Great Han Kingdom is scarred, they can recover quickly. This is also one of the reasons why the leopard was able to sweep away the hundreds of thousands of rebels of the Huns in two months, and beat the Hun rebels to the point of being powerless. The last thing that leopards lack is soldiers.

The strength of the leopard is too strong, and the northern army of the Han people is extremely strong. In Murong Feng's impression, it seemed that only when the Great Han Kingdom had 600,000 border troops in the era of their greatest martial emperor more than three hundred years ago had such invincible strength in the world. Although today's Han ** team cannot be compared with the army of Emperor Wu's era, how can today's Xianbei country be compared with the powerful Xiongnu back then?

Murong Feng didn't know if the Xianbei people would be able to hold the desert this time, but he knew that the Xianbei people would not admit defeat easily. On the desert, under the protection of the heroic spirit of the king of Tanshihuai, the Xianbei people will not be defeated, and they will definitely not be defeated. Although the Xianbei people are not enough to compete with the Han people in terms of military strength, the Xianbei people still have a chance, that is, the court of the Han people. No matter how powerful the Ren Han army is, how brave the leopard is, they all want food and grass, can the Han court support this costly war for a long time? Mu Rongfeng did not believe that the Han people still had the strength and determination in today's court. The Son of Heaven was young, the Queen Mother was in the court, the eunuchs and relatives were fighting in the open and the dark for the imperial power, and the rebellions in the Great Han Kingdom were repeated, and it had just experienced six years of war.

It is impossible for those ministers in the Han court not to know such a reality, so why did they launch an expeditionary war at this time? Was this war deliberately launched by their ** court in order to eradicate the threat of leopards?

Murong Feng gradually figured out a lot of things, and he already knew how this battle was going to be fought.

After the leopard defeated the Xiongnu rebels in June, Murong Feng thought that the Han people would not attack Xianbei this year, because the Han people did not have enough conditions to support the expedition of the army to the desert. But he miscalculated. Now, apart from knowing that Gongsun Chan and Tian Kai led their troops to attack the Mushen tribe in Xianbei in the east and the Baitan City in Xianbei in the middle, he knew almost nothing about the upcoming war. He didn't know how many troops of the Han army were attacking the Xianbei country in several ways, nor did he know the current situation in Danhan Mountain and Xianbei in the north. Although he was worried, there was nothing he could do, he could only wait.

"Drive the ......" Murong Feng roared, and whipped on the back of the war horse, "Order all departments, speed up, speed up ......"

Immediately behind Murong Feng were two young Xianbei generals. The one on the left is tall and burly, with dark skin, sword eyebrows and big eyes, and is about seventeen or eighteen years old. The other was emaciated, childish, handsome with big smart eyes on his little face, and was about fifteen years old. The two men were red-faced and were arguing fiercely about something.

"Kirby Bear, Uncle Leopard can't beat adults, we adults are invincible in the world." The older one was Que Kun, he stared, brandished his horsewhip, and said angrily, "Twelve years ago, the Han people's Xianbei Zhonglang General Tian Yan, the Hun Zhonglang General Zang Min and the Hun Commander Xia Yu led 50,000 iron cavalry to attack the Xianbei Kingdom in three ways. Later, the king of Tanshi Huai listened to the advice of the adults, retreated two thousand miles in a row, and fought in the sunset plain. In the Great Han War, Uncle Leopard may be invincible, but in the desert, no one can defeat us. ”

"Que Kun, Uncle Leopard fought a lot of battles with adults back then, and he is familiar with the methods of using soldiers, do you think he will be like Tian Yan and Zang Min, who are stupid, being led by the nose by the adults and chased all the way for 2,000 miles?" Kirby Bear blushed and said disdainfully, "If he doesn't fall for it, if he doesn't hit Sunset Plains and Beihai, what will we do?" Fight him in the desert? We retreated two thousand miles, there were no livestock, no food, and in winter, what did we eat? At that time, if we didn't want Uncle Leopard to do it, we ourselves would starve to death. ”

"Who is Uncle Leopard? Will he retreat and not chase after us? Que Kun kicked the war horse fiercely and shouted, "He will definitely hit Sunset Plain." ”

Murong Feng glanced back at Kirby Xiong, his eyes full of approval. Ke's most child is smarter than Ke, smarter than Que Kun, what he learns, in the future, in the Xianbei clan, it will probably be this kid's world. What he said just now was also the worry in Murong Feng's heart. Although it now seems that the army has retreated on all fronts, the only way to temporarily avoid the sharp edge of the Han army is to do so. But if the Han army learns the lesson of the defeat of Sunset Plain twelve years ago and no longer goes deep into the desert to chase and fight, it is difficult to say who will win and who will lose this battle.

The stride is more on-demand.

After listening to Budugeng's report, Murong Feng looked at the map carefully, and then asked, "What did the king say?" Is he planning to hold on to Danhan Mountain? ”

"When the king was leaving, he told me that he would withdraw to Chaotianyuan with the men and horses of Danhan Mountain and the tribesmen." Budu asked more anxiously, "My lord, are we going to support Danhan Mountain or retreat to Chaotian Plain?" ”

"How many people are there in the Han army? Why didn't you find a large number of Han troops in Macheng? Murong Feng said dissatisfiedly, "I have sent people to warn the king several times, telling you to pay close attention to the movements of the Han army in the direction of Macheng, why don't you listen?" ”

After the leopard defeated the Huns, his subordinate generals Yan Rou and Shanggu Karasuma King Loulu led their troops back to Shanggu to garrison. And the leopard himself led the main force of the army south to the Great Wall, so the king thought that the Han army had no intention of going on an expedition to the desert this year. "Who would have thought that a leopard would be so cunning? The Han army suddenly came out of the fortress and attacked very quickly. We retreated in a panic and could not find out their exact number. ”

"What about the battle flag? Your scouts saw the battle flags of several generals of the Han army? ”

"There are the battle flags of Zhang Yan, Yan Rou, and Lou Lu, as well as the ...... of Yingtong and Li Su"

"What did you say?" Murong Feng's face changed, and he asked loudly, "You saw Zhang Yan's battle flag?" ”

"Yes."

Murong Feng lowered his head and looked at the map again. The Crack Wind standing next to him pointed to the map and said, "Zhang Yan is in Danhan Mountain? Zhang Yan is the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, and under normal circumstances, the leopard would not easily transfer him out of Jinyang. In this way, the leopard requisitioned all the northern army to the north of the Great Wall. According to our exact information, the Leopards still had an army of about 120,000 after defeating the Huns. Now the armies of Xian Yufu and Zhang Yan who stayed in Jinyang have also gone north, so the total number of leopard armies is about 150,000, and if you add Liu Bao's Xiongnu iron cavalry and Loulu's Karasuma iron cavalry, the leopard army is at least 180,000 people. ”

Cracking Storm gritted his teeth and said: "This leopard, he actually brought 180,000 to beat us, and wanted to swallow us all in one bite. ”

Xiong Ba smiled bitterly: "If it is Zhang Yan and Yan Rou who attack Danhan Mountain, then the leopard's attack strategy is obvious. In the early stage, he sent Xu Rong to garrison Beidi County, Liyi and Yan Liang to garrison Wuyuan, and Yan Rouloulu to garrison Dai County and Shanggu County. In other words, at present, Xu Rong must have gone out of Helan Mountain to attack Xianbei in the west, and Lu Yi and Yan Liang are also attacking Xianbei in the north of Yinshan, plus Zhang Yan and Yan Rou along the way, the leopard is out of the same way. He used the armies of Xu Rong and Zhang Yan to contain Xianbei and Danhan Mountain in the west on the left and right flanks, and attacked Xianbei in the north with Koji Yiyan Liang and the Huns. It seems that the leopard is going to defeat Tuoba Feng in the shortest possible time and capture the entire northern Xianbei. ”

"Tuoba Feng is completely finished this time." Yuwen sighed in a low voice, "In the past few years, he has wanted to dominate the prairie and use troops everywhere, but as a result, he has caused a storm in Xianbei Country, and finally finished tossing himself." ”

"Due to our misjudgment and loss of opportunity, we are currently powerless to stop the attack of the leopard, so we can only retreat to Chaotianyuan to gather troops and horses, and then fight a decisive battle with the leopard." Xiong Ba thought for a moment and said, "It will take about fifteen to twenty days for the desert tribes to rush to Chaotianyuan one after another after receiving the king's requisition order, that is, in September. At that time, it was estimated that the leopards had completely occupied the northern Xianbei. ”

"It's all my fault." Murong Feng smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "If it weren't for the suppression of Luoluo back then, I wouldn't have recommended Tuoba Feng to King Helian. I never thought that after only six years, the Xianbei Kingdom would be ruined by Tuoba Feng and us, and I am sorry for King Tanshihuai. ”

"How many more men can we muster?" Budu looked at Xiong Ba and asked.

"Don't count on Tuoba Feng now, it's already fateful for him to escape to Chaotianyuan alive." Xiong Ba said, "The 30,000 iron horsemen of our central Xianbei are all here, the eastern Xianbei Lord Miga is following us with 10,000 iron horses, and the western Xianbei can still gather 30,000 iron horses, mainly the iron horses of the Red Sun tribe and the wild wolf tribe. If the king can withdraw in time with the 20,000 horses of Danhan Mountain, we will have 90,000 iron horsemen to meet the enemy. This is all the troops of the Xianbei country at present, the fourteen-year-old child, the fifty-year-old man, are all here. ”

"If we hadn't suffered a fiasco at Boluo Valley and Yanmen Pass, there would have been 200,000 iron horsemen, no worse than the Huns back then, but it's a pity that ......" Cracking Wind sighed gloomily, "These 90,000 people, at most only 60,000 elites, this battle is difficult to fight." I hope that the Great King can bring 20,000 people to Chaotianyuan intact, otherwise, it will be even more difficult for us. ”

"My lord, what now? Do you want to think of a countermeasure, should you go to Danhan Mountain or go to Chaotianyuan? Budu asked more restlessly.

"Go to Asamahara." Murong Feng waved his hand and said, "The leopard is well prepared, and we can't contain the momentum of the early attack at all, so we can only retreat in stride, so that we can save our strength and launch a counterattack." Now whether it is to rescue Danhan Mountain or Xianbei in the north, we are too late. Chaotianyuan is located between Dayangju Mountain and Jiluo Mountain, nearly a thousand miles away from Yinshan Mountain, you can attack and retreat, we can defend it, let's stabilize the battle line here first. ”

"Command the army, to the north, to Chaotianyuan."

"Send someone to tell Micah to speed up and rush to Chaotianyuan as soon as possible to meet us."

"Budugen, you rushed to the western Xianbei day and night to see Luoluo, and asked him to immediately gather troops and horses and rush to Chaotianyuan." Murong Feng said with a cold expression, "You tell him that if he dares to lead his army to retreat across Yanran Mountain to the west, he will be a rebel of my Xianbei country and an enemy of my Xianbei country, and he will never want to live in peace on the desert from now on." ”
