Chapter 0325: Advancing Strongly
April 15, Xianbei in the west, the western section of the Yinshan Mountain Range, Wolf Mountain.
After the 18,000 iron cavalry of the cavalry C-shaped regiment led by Gao Changgong and Zhang Liao rushed to Linrong City, the administrative office of Shuofang County, Zhang Fei, the general of the Han Dynasty, immediately led 32,000 people of the self-shaped army of his headquarters and a total of 50,000 troops of the cavalry C-shaped army to cross the Yellow River and quietly rushed to Yangshan, which was 400 miles away from Shuofang County.
Wolf Mountain is the territory of the Xianbei Heavenly Wolf Tribe in the west, and the commander of the Heavenly Wolf Tribe is the law and day deduction.
Along the way, the Han army scouts, under the personal leadership of Zhang Liao, set off from Jilusai first, and went a hundred miles in front of the army to kill several groups of Xianbei scouts.
After five days of continuous marching, the Han army entered a small desert. The guide said that this small desert is called the Hump Desert because it resembles a hump. Sixty miles to the northwest of this small desert is the Celestial Wolf Tribe.
When he reached the edge of the desert, Zhang Liao joined the army with hundreds of scouts.
Zhang Fei ordered 18,000 iron cavalry of the three armies to immediately set off as a whole army and gallop sixty miles to attack and kill the Heavenly Wolf Tribe.
Zhang Fei had only one order: "Wherever you go, no chickens and dogs will be left." ”
Under the leadership of Gao Changgong and Zhang Liao, 18,000 iron horsemen rushed out of the desert like a flood that burst the embankment, roaring forward.
The Xianbei people were stunned, and before the hundreds of Heavenly Wolf Clans living on the edge of the desert could react, they were trampled by iron hooves.
Soon, the terrible horn sounded, countless wolf smoke rose into the sky, Xianbei people and wolves rushed to the pigs, ghosts cried wolves, and fled in all directions.
Seeing the wolf smoke billowing on the desert, the law day deduced and knew that the Han army was coming.
Since the fiasco of Yanmen County two years ago, he has been waiting for this day, but he didn't expect this day to come so quickly and so suddenly.
After the fiasco of Yanmen County two years ago, coupled with the fighting between various tribes within Xianbei in the past two years, the Heavenly Wolf Tribe, which once led the Xianbei group in the west, only had more than 5,000 horsemen, and was completely vulnerable in front of the 18,000 elite Han army iron cavalry.
"Great. You go quickly, I will cover you with iron horses. Pi Lou Kei came and cried out, "Go quickly." ”
Ritsuri deduced his hands behind his back, looked at the clear blue sky with a calm expression, smiled bitterly, and muttered, "Let's go? Where am I going? ”
Pi Lou Ji was startled by Ritsuri's desperate eyes.
At this moment, the galloping sound of war horses was faintly heard from a distance, and the ground under his feet began to tremble slightly.
Pi Louji shouted in panic: "Dashuai, you go quickly." ”
Ritsuri shook his head. said: "Without the tribe, without the iron horse, what is the difference between me alive and dead?" Since I was born on this land, I should live and die with this land. ”
He looked at Pi Lou Ji and asked with a smile, "The warriors of the Sky Wolf Tribe are here?" ”
"It's all here, big handsome." Pi Lou Kei replied respectfully.
He saw that Riri's decision had been decided, and he immediately stopped persuading. Ritsuri's speech is right, there is no tribe, no army. Everywhere he goes, it's a dog to be slaughtered. It is better to die than to live, so let's die on the battlefield.
Ritsuri turned over his horse, faced the frightened soldiers, raised his spear and shouted: "Warriors of the Wild Sand Tribe. For the sake of this land, for the sake of our people, we swear to fight to the death and swear to the death...... Fight ......"
"Kill...... Kill......"
The Ritsuri deduces the galloping horses. Hoarse, "Kill...... Ah......h
Five thousand iron horsemen followed, and killed without hesitation.
Zhang Fei narrowed his eyes. Looking at the Xianbei people who flew like a hurricane, a contemptuous sneer flashed on his face, and he said lightly: "Beat the drum...... Trumpet...... Prepare for the attack ......"
At the foot of Wolf Mountain, the Han army set off a stormy wave like a stormy wave, roaring all the way and pouring down with an invincible momentum.
The Xianbei people were like a solid stone blocking the way, and they met them without fear.
Zhang Fei's eyes widened suddenly, and he pointed forward with a snake spear, and roared wildly: "Brothers, kill it, kill ......"
Suddenly, the earth-shattering shouts of killing rose to the sky, and the morale of the Han army swarmed up, drowning the five thousand Xianbei people in a blink of an eye.

April 15, in the clouds, on the shore of Shaling Lake.
In accordance with Li Yi's military order, Sima Tianfeng, the general's mansion of the expedition to the north of the expedition, moved the general's mansion to the shore of Shaling Lake, twenty miles away from Yunzhong City.
On this day, Li Yi convened the general's mansion to discuss history.
Li Yi said: "Every time the Great Han State sends a large army to fight deep into the desert, if the Hu people are strong, the two sides will fight in the middle of the desert. If the Hu people were weak, the Hu people would flee more than 2,000 miles away to avoid the sharpness of the Han army, and then use the terrain advantage to consume the strength of the Han army and attack the Han army's grain and grass transportation, thus forcing the Han army to return in vain. The Han army lost many times in outbound battles, and one of the main reasons was that the army ran out of food and grass after going deep into the desert for 2,000 miles, and the army could not find the main force of the Hu people for a long time to fight a decisive battle, and finally had to retreat. But as soon as the Han army withdrew, the opportunity for the Hu people to counterattack came. ”
"This time, before the army went south, I discussed several battle strategies to ensure the victory of the desert battle, and we carefully considered various factors, especially the critical illness of the Son of Heaven, the instability of the imperial court, and the possibility of interruption of grain and grass at any time. So I finally decided that the desert operation would be a two-step process. ”
"First of all, the army was divided into three routes, attacking the Xianbei people from the three directions of Shuofang, Wuyuan, and Daijun at the same time, trying to surprise the Xianbei people, catch the Xianbei people by surprise, and strive to capture the entire vast territory of Xianbei in the shortest possible time. The main purpose of this desert operation was actually to occupy the steppe and conquer the Xianbei people. After occupying the plains in the southern part of the desert, the army was stationed on several large pastures in the southern desert, hoarding grain and grass on the one hand, stabilizing the occupied territory on the other, and looking for the main force of the Xianbei people for a decisive battle. ”
"If Luoyang is stable at this time, the grain and grass are sufficient, and the southern part of the grassland is firmly controlled, and the weather permits, I decided to go on an expedition to Yanran Mountain, Wolf Juxu, and even fight all the way to Beihai (now Lake Baikal), and try my best to kill the main force of the Xianbei people.
"I intend to make the captured Xianbei territory the fifteenth state of the Han Dynasty. Tell me, what should this state be called? How about calling it the North Courtyard Metropolitan Protectorate? It means the northernmost state of the Great Han Kingdom. ”
Since the lord had already thought of the name, the others naturally didn't bother to bother, so everyone echoed and said okay.
Xiao Zuo asked with a smile: "The lord called us today, in addition to telling us about the strategy of the desert battle and asking us to supervise the grain and grass for the army, wouldn't it be just to give a name to the fifteenth state of the Han Dynasty?" ”
Li Yi smiled: "It's nothing. I just want to get together with you. I'm going north today, and if I can come back alive, we'll be together again. ”

April 15, Xianbei in the north.
Nanzhong Lang general Zhao Yun and school captain Lu Bu led 18,000 iron cavalry of the A-shaped legion, and the general Yue Fei and the captain Zhang Baicai led the 32,000 infantry of the T-shaped legion, a total of 50,000 horses and horses out of Gaoque, walked through the Qingyue Gorge, and quickly killed the Xianbei bald tribe in the central part of the country.
The military order given by Li Yi, the general of the expedition to the north, to Yue Fei and Zhao Yun was to occupy all the territory of the bald Xianbei by the end of April, and to do his best to completely annihilate the bald Pigu.
According to Li Yi's deployment, after the attack began. Guan Yu on the right flank would lead his army to attack Danhan Mountain, pinning down Budugen's army to support Bald Pigu, while Zhang Fei would lead his army to attack Xianbei in the west from the left flank, pinning down the army that had placed Luoluo to support Bald Pigu. In this way, Yue Fei and Zhao Yun didn't need to think about the safety of the left and right flanks of the army, they just had to storm the bald hair.
After the battle of Yanmen County and the civil strife in Xianbei, the bald Xianbei army was seriously damaged, and the bald tribe, which was originally powerful, is now also declining. There are only 15,000 bald people on their hands, and some of them are not elite.
In this case, the Han army attacked the bald Pigu with an absolute superiority of troops, and it was sure to win. But the problem is that the bald man will not fight. He must have fled north in a panic, so how to completely annihilate the bald Pi Gu has become the most headache for the Han army.
The bald Xianbei is split from the Xianbei Tuoba part, and Tuoba Xianbei is the royal family of Xianbei all the time. The sandalwood that once posed a great threat to the Great Han Kingdom. In fact, it is the surname Tuoba. In other words, the current Danhan Mountain Royal Court is actually developed from the Tuoba tribe. In later generations, the Tuoba Department of Dai and Wei was established. The Xianbei bald department of Hexi, which established Nanliang, is also a branch of the Tuoba tribe.
The bald tribe mentioned here refers to the bald tribe established by the bald Pigu.
Bald Pi is ambitious, repeatedly invaded the Han Kingdom, the crime is heinous, the crime is unforgivable, if you can't kill him in the territory of Xianbei in other tribes, let him successfully escape into the depths of the desert, then it will be very difficult to kill him.
For this reason, Yue Fei discussed the attack plan with Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, and Zhang Baiqi many times.
Yue Fei thought of a way to attack in three ways to encircle the bald hair. He ordered Zhao Yun to take 6,000 iron horsemen to plunge 600 miles north from the side of the Xianbei steppe in the north, and first completely cut off the back road of the bald Pigu. He and Lu Bu launched an attack from the front with 12,000 iron cavalry, forcing the bald Pigu to abandon tens of thousands of people and flee north. Zhang Bai led the foot soldiers with grain and grass baggage, and then quickly followed.
After receiving the news that the Han army had crossed the Yin Mountain to attack, Bald Pigu led the army and nearly 80,000 tribesmen and millions of livestock to retreat northward without saying a word.
Just when the situation was extremely critical, the bald and lonely people suddenly rioted, and the retreat turned into a great escape.
In the past few years, in order to expand his strength, the bald Pi Gu has wantonly annexed the small tribes in the territory, and the slightest disobedience and resistance will be immediately met with his bloody revenge and suppression. The clansmen of other Xianbei tribes hated it to the core, especially in the past few years, he has repeatedly used troops abroad, but he has been repeatedly defeated, and most of the young and strong men in the clan have died as a result.
But in this case, the bald Pi Gu also raised troops to rebel against Dan Khan Mountain and attack the Xianbei King, which made the other Xianbei tribes hate the bald Pi Gu to the extreme, and wished that the Han army would enter the desert as soon as possible, cut off the bald Pi Gu's head, and peel the bald Pi Gu's skin.
The bald man looked at the wolf smoke rushing into the sky, and looked at the crowd of wolves rushing on the prairie, and his heart was both frightened and angry. Betrayal, betray me at this time, I want you to die without a place to bury.
"Command all the troops to retreat quickly." The bald man waved his hand and shouted, "Anyone who stands in the way will be killed." ”
Zhu Liang, the masked man who had appeared in Yanmen County, hurriedly dissuaded: "My lord, this time is not to kill, but to rush, drive them everywhere in the grassland, so as to hinder the attack speed of the Han army." ”
The bald man roared in anger, "Kill me." (To be continued.) )
