Chapter 44: Dampening the Enemy's Spirit

And the plague of the state was dispersed.

At the moment of the war, Yanbei left Jiang Jin and Pan Ling and their subordinates to clean up the county to pacify the people and lead the troops westward. It's just that he hasn't found the Southern Huns yet, so Hu Chuquan will come to the door first. Luan Tihu Chuquan didn't think about fighting with Yanbei to the end, but the surrendered book list had been sent to the Yanbei army, but Yanbei did not withdraw but let him wait for death honestly, which made the Southern Xiongnu Shan thunder.

Today, it is too late to think about what to regret attacking Jiang Jindu Liaobu, Hu Chuquan does not want to be slaughtered, so he can only take the lead of the subordinates.

In Hu Chuquan's opinion, although Yanbei was powerful, this move was also excessive, and he even wondered whether Jiang Jin's previous order to move him west for hundreds of miles came from the Han Dynasty's Great Sima. How is it possible to let the Huns go to the desert to graze horses?

The only thing that worried him was that the left and right virtuous kings were all in the imperial court, and the two Xiongnu's orders to him were not easy to command. At this time, it doesn't matter whether he is afraid of Yanbei or not, even if he is afraid, he must also kill Yanbei.

Hu Chuquan thought simply and clearly, as long as Yanbei died in Bingzhou, his subordinates in Youzhou, Jizhou would inevitably be chaotic, and when the time came, who would be able to take care of the Southern Xiongnu. As for the Han army that entered the state, Hu Chuquan was not afraid, and what could make the Hun king fearful was just the huge force behind Yanbei.

Therefore, Yan Beibei led the army out of the Dingxiang Great Wall, and the former army Gao Shun was raided by the Huns Tu Gehu in the suburbs of Wuding County, hastily met the enemy with hundreds of casualties, and then formed a formation to attack with a strong crossbow, and the two sides were killed and wounded by each other, until the Chinese army led the Wuhuan ranger Gujin to lead the troops to help, and then drove Tu Gehu away...... This is just a vanguard battle, but it also led the Yanbei generals to wake up in their hearts.

They were within the reach of the Huns.

Gao Shun and Tu Gehu is an old acquaintance, in the past he was a junior officer in the history of the state and the state has fought with Tu Gehu several times, and even Lu Bu's army many of the horse shooting methods also come from Tu Ge and the Southern Xiongnu, to the state army belongs to Dong Zhuo, Tu Gehu is a sharp army under Dong Zhuo, Zheng Tai once the Xiongnu Tu Ge and Xiqiang eight kinds, and the Liang Han people, Huangzhong Yi Cong and called the world strong and brave.

Tu Ge was a branch of the Xiongnu, but he was not attached to the Southern Xiongnu. In the past, when the Xiongnu were strong, Tu Ge was a part of the Xiongnu, and on the annexation of the Han Dynasty, the Tu Ge kings also had to write earlier than the Southern Xiongnu annexation, until now the tribal forces are also very strong in the state, and the relationship with the Southern Xiongnu royal court is similar to the Wuhuan in the past Shan Yu Qiu Liju and the king of the cliff Su Fuyan.

Driven away Tu Gehu, the northern army of Yan entered the city of Wuding. Half of the soldiers and horses in this western expedition were foot soldiers and stayed in the city, while most of the Xu Huang and Wei Yue divisions were cavalry, and they were arranged outside the city by Yanbei in accordance with the art of war.

To be precise, Dian Wei and Gao Shun are not all heavy foot soldiers, they all have horses, but they are only substitute for transportation, and when it comes to fighting, except for more than 2,000 Yulin cavalry led by Cheng Lian in Yanbei headquarters, other heavy foot soldiers have to dismount and fight, otherwise their mounts will be difficult to support the huge weight.

Needless to say, Dian Wei's subordinates were originally the heavy foot soldiers of Yanbei Guard, two sets of iron armor on the upper body are nearly 100 catties of weight, Gao Shun transferred into Yanbei and also selected elite soldiers to train a heavy foot pawn of 900 people, with a large shield, short axe, spear and three short spears, wearing leather armor, iron armor, and big iron pockets, it can be said that the armor and fighting equipment are complete, and where can they fight for a long time on horseback.

In the final analysis, in the early years, the types of horses raised in Youzhou Horse Farm were all northern Youzhou horses, and later although there were Liangzhou horses, horse breeds can be changed overnight, after all, they can't compete with the Xianbei horses with strong roots. Nowadays, there are only a few horses in the north that can carry heavy horses, and even those who have enough for the Yulin Army are not enough, and no one is willing to be sent to the battlefield.

The only good thing is that although the Yulin Cavalry in this battle can only be equipped with two gears of armor and leather armor, they all use the bilateral horses obtained during the battle with Xianbei, and their riding ability has been improved.

After a short rest of only two days, the scouts released reported that more than 10,000 Hu cavalry from the Xiongnu royal court had been scattered in and were encircled, and there were traces of Tu Gehu in the north, Yan Beili heard the words and chuckled lightly on the low wall of Wuding Zhanger, "Hu Chuquan is much more anxious than Yan imagined, Wei Yue in the north will build a fortress wall under the city, and Xu Gongming in the south will go to fight and try to lead the enemy army to the city." ”

The Southern Xiongnu royal court and Tu Gehu could not join forces, and once they joined forces, they would form a joint encirclement, and it was not a good thing for Yanbei to cut off grain and grass.

"General, your subordinates are invited to fight, and the Huns don't need General Xu to fight!"

It was Cheng Lian who asked for the battle, this time Yanbei brought out almost all of Lu Bu's cronies in the past, not to mention the battle to recover his hometown in Bingzhou, they were too familiar with the Southern Xiongnu. Now the in-laws of the Lu family and the Yan family, and when they were under Lu Bu in the past, the highest official position was only a mere captain, and now under the command of Da Sima, although each of them has become a captain, but who doesn't want to go further?

Clear-eyed people know that the imperial court lacks everything now, except for official positions such as generals!

This is actually what Yanbei wants to see, his subordinates Youzhou, Jizhou martial arts are a lot, although the use of Jizhou generals to fight with the Southern Xiongnu may not be half the effort, but with these brave warriors to fight the Huns in the future, I think I can get twice the result with half the effort.

"Tell me, now that the Huns are coming in a big way with the encirclement of the north and the south, how does Captain Cheng plan to deal with it?"

"General, although the Huns are brave and fierce and skilled in horsemanship, but the armor is not as good as my Han family's son, and its various orders are different, although the morale of the initial attack is high, but if it is for our army, it can make its various departments worry about death and injury and fear, so a certain wants to take advantage of the fact that its various departments have not yet joined forces, lead a team of elite horsemen to behead their small troops and return, in order to hit their morale, to the general permission!"

Yan Bei smiled when he heard this, he laughed because he thought that in the past, he got the iron armor of the Bingzhou cavalry and gave it to Zhao Yun, and wanted Zhao Yun to learn the tactics of the Bingzhou army, at that time, he didn't expect that the generals of the Lu Bu army could be used by him. He is very familiar with the tactics that Cheng Lian said, isn't this what Lu Bu commonly uses to counterattack? However, this Cheng Lian was bold enough to use a mere team of cavalry to frustrate the Huns' troops.

"The captain is brave! The herald ordered the army to prepare 100 people with wine and food, and the gentlemen were full of wine and food, and the generals went out to kill the sharp spirit of the kitchen spring for Yan! Yan Bei said that he would arrange it, and Cheng Lian was overjoyed when he saw Yan Bei agree.

There seems to be such courage in the Bingzhou army, just like what Zhang Liao said to Tian Chou in the Fuyu Kingdom, one and one, the brave have to move forward.

In the evening, there have been hundreds of Hun rangers outside the city to light torches, a small team of small teams from a distance to look at the third base under the city, patrol away, Wuding city suddenly opened, Cheng Lian led a hundred horsemen towards those Hun rangers to kill out!
