Royal Road

The sound of horseshoes galloped to the camp tent from far to near. Yi Yan got off his horse, threw the rein to the soldier, and picked up the curtain and walked into the big tent. In the tent, several people were gathered around the simple sand table, fine-tuning and studying the terrain. Hearing footsteps, Zhang Bin raised his head and said, "General Yi is back? How is the situation on Baibu Xianbei's side?"

Yi Yan strode forward and drew a line on the sand table with his whip in his hand: "The enemy forward has bypassed the Hutuo River and is approaching our army. It will arrive tomorrow at the latest. With the rear army, it should be no less than five thousand. people."

"Wuqian Qingqi, can you stop it?" Zhang Bin asked.

"Yeah." Yi Yan nodded without saying much.

This time they brought a thousand cavalry and three thousand infantry. It is extremely difficult to use this against five thousand Xianbei cavalry. However, seeing Yi Yan nodded, Zhang Bin felt loose in his heart. Although the contact time was not long, he knew very well the marching methods of the general in front of him. As long as he says he can, he will definitely be able to do it.

"Baibu Xianbei can fight with no more than 10,000 soldiers. It has been folded for two thousand under Jinyang City before. This time it should be its main force. The rear is bound to be empty. As long as Tuoba Yulv leads his troops to the Baibu old camp, You can defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!"

Baibu Xianbei is a tribe of Immediately, once encountering danger, it is very likely that the clan will take refuge. However, neither the Bingzhou nor the Tuoba tribe was able to face the consequences of a long battle line, and could only make a quick fight. Therefore, after discussing with Yiyan, Zhang Bin proposed such a combat strategy. The Bingzhou soldiers acted as bait in the front to contain the enemy's main force, while Tuoba Yulu led his troops to raid the rear and completely wiped out the rebellious group. In this way, the forces threatening the hinterland of Binzhou will be swept away, and this mission will be successfully completed.

However, such an arrangement will inevitably put great pressure on the Union State soldiers who entice the enemy frontally. If they were defeated and the enemy returned to aid, the Tuoba Department would face a front and back attack. In the end, Yiyan came forward to dispel Tuoba Yulu's concerns. Now that the enemy has sent troops, it will win or lose, just look at tomorrow's battle!

"Join the army and stay in the camp tomorrow, take care of the road." As if seeing Zhang Bin's inner tension, Yi Yan said lightly.

Zhang Bin said. To be honest, what he is best at is strategy, and he has not really been on the battlefield. On the face of it, he was told to take care of the back road, but in reality, he was to be distracted so as not to get in the way.

But for such thoughts, he didn't have any complaints, and nodded in response: "The rear army has my own presence, and I hope the general will return in victory!"

On the second day, as soon as it was light, some soldiers drove out of the camp. This team is pure foot soldiers, and the march is not very fast, but the formation is quite dense, like a moving castle, slowly advancing in the wilderness. Only ten miles away, the scout brought news that the enemy was less than three miles ahead.

Sanli was nothing to the cavalry at all, and it was a short time. This is simply a standard encounter. As if stunned by the bad news, the Jin army hurriedly turned to the mound next to it. Before they had time to camp, they saw the overwhelming cavalry rushing from a distance.

Xianbei scouts have always been alert, how could they not find this group of enemies? After ascertaining that the opponent had no rear army and no ambush, the leader immediately led his troops to advance. Wuqian Qingqi ran like a turbid wave, but its momentum made people frightened. A small mound, even the battalion will not be able to be laid down in the future, how to resist the Xianbei iron cavalry? Just go straight up!

Su Hewei rode on the horse, and looked at the enemy soldier who raised his spear and shivered behind the shield, showing a mocking sneer. This group of state soldiers is stupid. Although the mounds occupy high ground, they are surrounded by wilderness on all sides. How can they only guard the front?

You don't need to direct yourself at all, the vanguard rushing in front has already bypassed the front of the mound, rushing upwards from both sides. Enemy on all sides, just a dash is enough to make the opponent's soldiers collapse!

However, the strong horse took only two steps, suddenly seemed to be crazy, jumping and screaming, even the most experienced knight could not control it, and planted the horse.

"Stop! Stop, there's tribulus terrestris!"

Someone reacted and shouted loudly to remind others behind to be on guard. It turns out that except for the front, the iron tribulus used for trapping horses is densely scattered all around the mound. Under the rush, the horse's hoof is injured. How can we not go crazy?

Su Hewei's secret path is not good, but before he can give his order, arrows rain like locusts on the mound!

Archers have always been elites in the army, so nomadic tribes like Xianbei Wuhuan can learn the bow and are good at riding and shooting. In the Jin army, and even the Xiongnu army, there will not be a large proportion of archers. However, today, on this small mound, there are so many arrows shot out, as if everyone wears a bow!

Caught off guard, the vanguard rushing in front was shot and turned on his back. The terrain of this mound is just so high that it is enough to give the Jin army an advantage in range!

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" Su Hewei roared! Before assisting Liu Hu, they had already lost two thousand soldiers. If they had lost all of these soldiers and horses, the tribe would be unable to gain a foothold in the grassland!

They were all experienced fighters, and the offensive of Xianbei's soldiers and horses immediately slowed down. The rangers who had scattered around gathered again beside Su Hewei to form a formation.

Squinting and looking at the hedgehog-like mound facing the hedgehog, Su and Wei snorted, "Attack from the front!"

Now that the enemy has left a defensive channel, the best way is to rush forward. Even if it is a trap, this group of Jin troops has no more than two thousand people, they have multiple cavalry, and they are crushed to death by the number of people alone!

Immediately he had a confidant to take his command, and rushed up with his troops. The passage is narrow and can only accommodate three or four hundred riders at most. These incomparable brutal soldiers raised their horse shields and rushed up against the splattering arrow rain.

Condescendingly, the arrow foot can shoot more than three hundred steps. However, it takes only a few breaths for the horse to take a mere three hundred steps. There were constant screams and horses, but this short distance was still trampled by horseshoes. Two hundred steps, one hundred steps, fifty steps... Seeing that the cavalry who rushed forward was about to crash into the fragile army formation. Suddenly, the army formation on the hill shook, and a hundred long spears stabbed out!

It was not a spear used by ordinary soldiers, but a real carbine. It was more than two feet away, and the spear head flashed with a dazzling cold light, so it poked at the cavalry in front of him. This is not something that a mere horse shield can defend. Those cavalry who finally rushed through the death zone ran straight into the gun forest and turned on their backs again!

"Keep up! Break them down!" Su Hewei's expression changed, and he roared loudly.

How many people can the carbine resist? Anyway, they have been hand-in-hand, so why not crush them with their strength? However, what I did not expect was that the gun forest did not waver, and the arrow rain struck again! The soldiers on the hill were divided into two battles, fighting in the front and shooting arrows in the back, and they were not deterred by this fierce offensive.

After just a try, Su Hewei knew that this method would not work, and immediately recalled the troops. However, there are more than three hundred people desperately on the mound.

It's not over yet. Seeing them retreating, the Jin army on the mound actually split into several teams, dragging the dead horse corpses, and stacking them in front of the formation. The icy flesh and blood formed a line of defense against horses. If you want to attack, you must first step over these corpses.

Seeing the orderly movements on the mound, a warrior like Su Hewei who has gone through countless battles also felt chills behind his back. Is he really facing the Jin army? Hundreds of years ago, it was possible to suppress the Huns in their heyday, so that the six animals were not rich, and the women were colorless.

"Leader! What to do?!" The fearful, more than Su He Wei, asked anxiously by the cronies beside him.

"Continue to rush! Use up their arrows!" How similar this situation is to the battle of the famous general Li Ling to the Huns. However, even if he had never read history books, Su Hewei chose the most appropriate approach.

This group of Jin troops has no back-ups, and there is a limit to the number of arrows they carry. When they shoot out the arrow in their hands, they will be like a hedgehog with the thorns stripped off, and become the things in their own pockets. In the face of a tentative offensive, this group of Jin troops could not relax their vigilance. Once they lost their defenses, the cavalry that lured the enemy could immediately turn into the vanguard of the attack. If you don't want to die, you can only wait for it!

Do they want to waste time? Then accompany them to consume! Su Hewei grabbed the whip in his hand fiercely. This time, he must completely wipe out this group of Jin troops and avenge the dead people!

However, this is how I thought about it, and it was still much harder than Suwawei expected. The group of Jin troops seemed to have doubled the quiver on their backs, and they just consumed him like this. Lure the enemy also requires horsepower and physical strength. From dawn to dark, they attacked the camp several times in the evening. Until the afternoon of the next day, the opponent's arrow array did not run out.

At this time Su and Wei discovered that not only were there bows in the opposing army's formation, there were also many crossbows. Coupled with the soldiers taking turns to rest, this group of Jin troops resisted their attack as if tirelessly. But even so, they can't survive for three days? Uneasy arose in her heart, and Su Hewei realized that she might have missed something...

not good! This is obviously delaying time!

Surprised, Su Hewei reacted! The Jin army came to attack them, how could it be so resolutely defensive? ! This time he brought most of the soldiers from the tribe. If someone attacked the rear camp and the remaining soldiers, how could he be able to defend it? !

"Return to camp immediately!" Su Hewei made a decisive decision and issued the order. The fierce battle lasted a day and a night, losing seven or eight hundred people, but Su Hewei still had the desire to win. The tribe is their foundation. If there is a loss in the tribe, what can they do if they win? Must hurry back!

Although people are sleepy and lacking in horses, how can one hesitate at the moment of life and death? All the Xianbei soldiers left their exhaustion behind and rushed towards their own camp. The pawns left behind cannot catch up with their cavalry, but they are not the pawns who chase them.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Like the dull thunder, the iron hoof shredded the silence of the mountains. When the cavalry suddenly appeared on the flanks and launched a fierce attack, Su Hewei's eyes flashed with despair.

The enemy appeared. It was a cavalry with only a thousand men and horses, and he had four thousand troops. But with four thousand worried, angry and exhausted soldiers, how can they stop this cavalry waiting for work? !

"Kill! Get out for me!" Su Hewei roared hoarse, his eyes red. These people can't surround them, as long as they rush out of the ambush, they will have a chance to go back to rescue the elders in the clan. Just rush out!

However, the murderous gods with gray and blue eyes did not leave them any vitality. The iron cavalry is like a steel knife of grinded meat, and it is inserted into the cavalry array. In less than a quarter of an hour, Baibu Xianbei's camp was completely torn apart. The warriors who had never fought for a long time dropped their swords, lowered their bodies, and beat their mounts fiercely. Like a dog with its tail sandwiched, it scattered and fled.

The Masi shouted, the dust was flying. However, the white leader who fell in a pool of blood had his eyes wide open, and he could no longer see the scenes that made him desperate.
