Chapter 278: Surprise Attack on Yinshan Mountain
Two days later, in Danhanshan Mountain, Xianbei Shanyuting.
When Helian went to Yanmen, he took away 50,000 elite cavalry, and then 30,000 cavalrymen to support him.
A total of 80,000 cavalrymen were born, but only more than 10,000 were back. Gu Xiao lost the big ones and suffered heavy losses.
What scared the Shanyu Court the most was that He Lian Shanyu did not come back. There were rumors that the Shanyu was captured by the Han army, and there were rumors that the Shanyu had been killed by the Han people.
Every family of Xianbei Shanyu family was mourning, and the clouds were covered with clouds.
He Lian had a son named Qianman, but he was only a few years old. According to Xianbei customs, it was impossible for a child to succeed to the position of Shanyu in front of the enemy.
Many people elected the fourteen-year-old Kuitou as the temporary replacement of the Great Shanyu to stabilize the morale of the army.
Kuitou is the son of the Helian brothers, not close relatives.
"My Shanyuting, Kejiu, Queju, Murong and others are likely to have fallen into the conspiracy of the Han people, and the two sides killed each other to make the Han people profit." A tribal leader said anxiously.
"From the beginning to the end, the Han people are instigating them. What kind of marriage is a lie!" Another tribal leader said with hatred.
The marriage with the Han people was accused of the instigation of the mistress, but it was exploited by Jia Xu.
The stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade. In every era of China, there will always be a few capable people who can change the situation in the world with their own strength.
"The Great Wall of Yanmen County in Han people is intact. Most of the mountains are dangerous. When Tan Shihuai Shanyu was there, he plundered many times, but he was not allowed to defend it. The Han people attach great importance to Yanmen County and have many heavy troops. Now the Han general Liu Fan guards Yanmen. He first destroyed the Tuoba tribe, and then designed to cause heavy losses to the Xianbei in the middle of our central area, which made Helian Shanyu's life and death unknown. It is really a big concern for our Xianbei!" Some people sighed.
"We fought with the Han army and found that the Han army was very different from before. Their horse harnesses were even more powerful than those under Ke's subordinates, and the cavalry with the horses in the ranks of the people and horses could not stop them at all! The most terrifying thing is that the Han army had a red face and long beard. If it weren't for my guards' protection, I would not have returned to the Shanyu Court." A tribal leader said with lingering fear.
His guards were one of the most popular warriors in a hundred, but it was really heartbreaking to walk in front of Guan Yu.
"I met a Han general with a white horse and silver spear. He rushed into our army. Ten thousand people were cleared. The first warrior under my command was stabbed by him in a few rounds."
"Murrong Huo was killed off his head by a Han general. The Han general rushed to kill our Xianbei cavalry, like driving away a flock of sheep. It was really terrible!"
"There is also a Han general who comes and goes back and forth with a group of brave Han cavalry guards. He holds a weapon that is longer than my war horse. If the weapon is swung down, the people and horses will be killed, and it is considered cruel."
"Ah! For more than ten years, even hundreds of years, the Han people have never had such amazing warriors. If I hadn't been there, I wouldn't have believed that the Han people would be so powerful. This is clearly an enemy of thousands of people!"
The leaders of various Xianbei tribes and officials of the Shanyu court complained to each other. The Han people's conspiracies were one aspect, and the Han people were much more powerful than before.
Just as the leaders of various tribes were about to discuss the re-establishment of the Shanyu, a Xianbei cavalry rode a horse outside the tent. He rolled and crawled to the tent, he hesitantly reported to the leaders of the tribe: "A large number of cavalry... ran from the south to the Shanyu court... it looked like the Han army."
"How far is it from the Shanyu Court now? How many people are there?" a tribal leader asked hurriedly.
"It's more than ten miles away, and the number of people is unknown. If it were the Han army, the Wanqi army would be under the horse's hooves of the Han army..." the Xianbei cavalry replied.
"Quick... gather the tribes and prepare for battle!"
More than ten miles away, the enemy can attack Shanyu Court in an instant. If the Wanqi tribe dragged the enemy for a while, it would still be time.
The enemy army rushed from the south and had to face the Qifu tribe.
...
Two miles away from the Wanqi Xianbei, Liu Fan led 10,000 Han troops to run towards this side.
"Report to the general, there is only a small tribe of the Xianbei in front, and there is another Xianbei tribe ahead." A Han army reported to Liu Fan in detail.
This little man was sent by Jia Xu to defraud the Xianbei and understand the tribes of the Shanyu Ting clearly.
"At this point, the enemy must have discovered it. Zilong, you lead a thousand cavalry to drag the tribe ahead. Hansheng, you lead a thousand cavalry to go around and attack another tribe. I lead eight thousand cavalry to attack Shanyuting." Liu Fan ordered the generals.
Since it is a surprise attack, it should penetrate the enemy's heart. Wasting time here is equivalent to giving Xianbei a chance.
Although the Xianbei suffered heavy losses in the battle a few days ago, it would be immeasurable to launch the Shanyu court men, women, young and old.
Liu Fan wanted to cut off this flame and quickly conquer the Xianbei Shanyuting.
"promise!"
Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong received the order.
Two teams of soldiers separated from the army, one rushed towards the Wanqi tribe, and the other was ready to attack the Qifu tribe.
Liu Fan led 8,000 cavalrymen to bypass the Wanqi tribe.
After the Wanqi tribe experienced a war, there were heavy casualties and even the tribe leader was killed. Because the Han army suddenly arrived here, they now did not even gather the warriors in the tribe, so how could they have the ability to intercept Liu Fan?
Perhaps Zhao Yun can wipe out the entire Wanqi tribe.
When Liu Fan arrived at the Qifu tribe, Huang Zhong had already led his cavalry to break through the fence and kill with the Qifu tribe.
A quarter of an hour later, Liu Fan was already a short distance from Shanyu Courtyard.
"Where the Xianbei people go, our Han army can also go. The Xianbei tramples on our Han territory, so I will leave the Xianbei nowhere to survive. We will attack and destroy the Shanyu Court and capture all the Xianbei officials. Those who resist will immediately behead them!" Liu Fan had already seen the Shanyu Court not far away.
He wanted the Xianbei to see the blood and domineering nature of their Han people. He wanted to make the Xianbei tremble and impress.
"Zhongkang, you led a thousand cavalry around to the west of Shanyuting."
"Dianwei, Ru led a thousand cavalry to the east of Shanyu Ting."
"Chang Yun, you and I will attack the main gate of Shanyu Ting."
Liu Fan issued an order to the generals.
"promise!"
All the generals took the order.
Xu Chu and Dian Wei each led a team of troops to the east and west sides of the Shanyu Court.
The purpose of Liu Fan's doing this was to prevent reinforcements from the Xianbei tribes, and the other was to prevent important Xianbei figures from escaping.
The leaders of various Xianbei tribes and officials of the Shanyu Court did not expect the Han army to come so quickly. They were still ten miles away just now and started attacking the village gate.
Liu Fan came prepared, and of course he would not give Xianbei a chance.
The Xianbei was not the Xiongnu, and they migrated very frequently and did not cast cities.
The Huns once imitated the Han people and built some low cities on the grassland.
After the Xianbei was full of the Xiongnu lands, the Xiongnu cities naturally belonged to the Xianbei, such as the Suicheng City in the north of Wuyuan County, Touman City, etc.
Shanyuting built the site for the selection of the Sandalwood and Shihuai, not a city. It is just a luxurious camp.
Maybe Tan Shihuai and Lian were too confident, thinking that only they, Xianbei, attacked others, and no one dared to attack them.
Liu Fan's arrival broke this point in abruptly. He changed from defense and offense to offense to defense between the Han people and the Xianbei.
Chapter completed!
