Chapter 770 Tuoba
More than six hundred heads were chopped off and stacked in one place, which looked really spectacular.
The bloody smell floats into the distance, which is a deterrent and a warning.
The Huangtou Army officers were in shock. Only then did they slowly come to their senses. Their faces were pale, their bodies were exhausted, and they were crumbling.
Yang Qin looked ashamed.
The war was too stinky. Not to mention the injured, 500 of the 2,000 people died in the battle. If they had not had nowhere to run, they might have collapsed.
But the King of Liang also comforted them with gentle words, saying that they fought well on the battlefield for the first time, and gave them dozens of captured iron armors and more than 300 pairs of leather armors.
More than four hundred Xianbei assault cavalry exploded so much.
It can be seen from here that this vanguard is stronger than the average army, but it is not elite.
Perhaps it was because of his outstanding performance against Liu Han, or because of his continuous defeat of other tribes on the grassland, or perhaps for some other reason. These people were very arrogant and would fight each other whenever they came up. They were extremely fierce.
In fact, ordinary troops would really not be able to withstand their three axes.
Most of them collapsed during the continuous shooting process of riding bows. A small number of them could persist until they attacked the cavalry. The final result is hard to say, most of them were overwhelmed.
This is probably why they have the confidence to ride and walk.
"Your Majesty..." When he saw Shao Xun coming, Yang Qin stepped forward to plead guilty: "It's my fault that the boys didn't practice well."
"Tuoba Xianbei beat the Huns, ten times Zhan Jiu Sheng, his combat power is not comparable to that of Liu Han, and it has nothing to do with you." Shao Xun patted his shoulder and said, "I only heard that Suo Tou was powerful before, but I was surprised to see him this time." br>
"Suotou didn't expect us to be so powerful." Yang Qin muttered.
"Haha." Shao Xun smiled and said, "Maybe the Tuoba clan thinks we are soldiers of Liu Kun and Wang Jun."
Both sides were not sure about the encounter. The opponent’s true combat effectiveness.
The Xianbei people were very confident and acted rashly.
The soldiers were also very confident, waiting for him to rush over.
If we hadn't had more soldiers, it would have been possible for Suo Tou to succeed.
Hundreds of cavalry and over 10,000 infantrymen may be commonplace for Suotou.
“What do you think of the rope head?” Shao Xun asked again.
Yang Qin thought for a long time, and finally gave only one word: "Wild."
"This evaluation is very appropriate." Shao Xun praised: "Wilder than the Huns, better than the Huns." Duanbu Xianbeiye.”
This is caused by the environment.
Yuwen Xianbei is more savage and fierce than Duan Bu Xianbei, and he is even less afraid of death.
Murong Xianbei is actually very wild, but Murong Xin has been trying to find ways to Chineseize him.
They defeated Goguryeo last year, this was the second time.
Another time, Goguryeo, Yuwen Xianbei, and Liaodong Cui Ao joined forces and were defeated by Murong Xianbei.
Cui Ao, the governor of Pingzhou, has fled to Goguryeo. Goguryeo was also frightened and did not dare to provoke anymore.
The Murong family has the final say in the entire Liaodong and Liaoxi counties.
As for the Yuwen clan, they are actually married to the Tuoba clan and have a good relationship - of course, in the face of real interests, a little marriage is nothing.
"This time I can see the Tuoba clan's combat power." Shao Xun turned around, looked to the north, and said: "In the future, we must use the silver spear and the black gun to defeat Tuoba. Only the army and government troops can take the lead. Ordinary troops may not be able to withstand the Tuoba clan's attack."
"But Tuoba Xianbei's land is too big and vast. "Shao Xun looked at Yang Qin again and said: "The territory is vast, so we need more soldiers. After all, the Huangtou Army needs to train more."
"Yes," Yang Qin bowed. road.
The Silver Spear Army needs auxiliary troops when going on an expedition, but these auxiliary troops should not be too bad, because there will always be times when you encounter the enemy alone. If you are defeated at the first touch, then why fight?
After leaving the battle site, Shao Xun returned to the half-renovated camp. He looked at the hurried officers of the Yellow Head Army and above, and asked, "Have you seen them all?"
"I saw it." Everyone replied with different expressions.
"The real battlefield is like this, even more dangerous." Shao Xun said: "We will count the meritorious personnel and give out rewards one by one after the class."
After saying that, he went straight to the top of a mountain and overlooked the north.
In the trumpet-shaped basin, there are crisscrossing rivers, lush vegetation, and occasional hills, but it is generally very flat.
This is a land suitable for farming and animal husbandry, but it was gradually eroded by the Xiongnu in the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao even moved the last batch of Han people here to Xingxing and gave up completely.
Up to the imperial dynasty, this place was beyond the standard national border and became a paradise for Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Wuhuan people. They were half-cultivated and half-grazed. Because of the abundant water resources, their lives were pretty good.
Langu County is at the bottom of this horn, guarding a passage for the Xianbei people to go south to Kelan and Taiyuan.
If you have the remaining strength, you still have to capture Caochengchuan, eliminate a southbound assembly area of Tuoba Xianbei, and push the front north.
There are still many Xianbei riders wandering on the Caocheng River.
There are piles of about seven or eight hundred riders here and there. They should be the troops that retreated after the attack failed just now.
Shao Xun took one last look at them, descended from the top of the mountain, and ordered the construction of the camp to continue, forming a corner with Langu County.
Two days later, he headed east toward Tianchi.
Conflict also broke out on Liu Zhao's side.
More than two thousand cavalry were directly defeated by Tuoba Xianbei, and they were sent back after a large plunder. ******
The first day of May, night.
On the flat wilderness, there were fires everywhere, so densely packed that it made people’s hair stand on end.
It is said that the grassland is short of fuel, so it depends on where.
In the Yinshan area, there is really no shortage of it. Even many places that have been degraded into grasslands and deserts in later generations are still endless forests at this time.
Tuoba Yulu sent people to cut down wood and set fires in the gaps between farmland and grassland. It was actually not difficult to do.
Maybe the firewood contains a lot of water, and when it burns, it creates thick smoke and is extremely choking.
But no one showed impatience on their faces, because after the billowing smoke rose, it covered the sky and covered the surrounding area like a tent.
The ground surface becomes dry and the temperature gradually rises, making people feel particularly comfortable on this cold night.
This is a frost-reducing method that has been passed down orally since ancient times.
They don't understand the advanced principles, they only know how to do it - there are three principles. First, the smoke rises and spreads along the inversion layer near the ground, forming a smoke screen to prevent the ground heat from dissipating and at the same time raising the ground surface. temperature; second, evaporate the water vapor in the air to avoid the formation of frost; third, the hot air continues to rise, disturbing the cold air, forming a weak wind, preventing the cold air from gathering. This method is mainly used when the cold wave strikes. night.
Amid the billowing smoke, more than a hundred riders rode up.
The ministers and officials who had been waiting for a long time all bowed down and shouted "Your Majesty".
Tuoba Yulu was the Duke of Daijun, but internally, he had proclaimed himself the king and was called "King of Dai".
As early as the Tuoba Yilu era, hundreds of officials had already been appointed, and there were even over-the-counter things such as royal chariots.
Although Tuoba Yilu went south many times to participate in wars, defeated the Huns repeatedly for Liu Kun, saved Jinyang, and made the old forces (leaders of nomadic tribes) dissatisfied within the Dai country, but his changes to the country were profound.
They have stepped out of nomadism with one foot and entered feudal society, although the other foot is still stuck in it.
In addition, the Han people and Sinicized Hu people who came over also provided a large number of technologies, systems, and regulations.
These things are useful. Even if the old party looks down on the new party, it still recognizes the benefits of these things, and some changes have occurred unknowingly.
New and old are actually relative.
The so-called old party of Tuoba Xianbei is more like the new party than Yuwen Xianbei, because the Yuwen family is more barbaric, ignorant and uncivilized.
“I heard that Bu Liugu’s boy is dead?” Tuoba Yulu is a rather majestic man with a round face, a thick build, and bright eyes. He likes to stare when looking at people. Be aggressive.
As soon as he said these words, everyone had different expressions.
Someone looked at him unabashedly, not very afraid.
Some people lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything.
There are also people with calm faces, as if the death of Bu Liugu tribe has nothing to do with them - it seems that it is indeed the same, everyone is just an alliance.
Yes, it is the Alliance of Tribes.
Although they were one family many years ago, they have separated after all. We can use the name of Xianbei to communicate with each other, marry each other and even help each other, but in the end there are still differences.
"Your Majesty." The first person to speak was Liu Lugu. He only heard him say: "Bu Liugu's tribe must have encountered the elite of the Jin people. I heard that their infantry stood firm and their cavalry were on top." At that time, there was a slight panic, but he was defeated and finally surrounded and killed hundreds of Bu Liugu's riders. This was a small setback and not something to worry about."
Tuoba Yulu stood there intently, and he was also stunned. Nothing was said.
Actually, not just Liu Gu and his family were defeated.
The army has not yet been dispatched, but four groups of troops have already separated and headed south to test the strength of the Jin army.
To the far west was the Buliu Gu tribe, which was defeated and suffered hundreds of losses.
To the east there was the Helan tribe, which defeated Jiehu in great numbers, plundered and returned.
The middle road went south from Yanmen to Xingxing, which was the headquarters of the Tuoba clan. The progress was very smooth and there was almost no resistance.
The Dugu tribe on the east route went down to Guangning, but was blocked in the upper valley area and returned without success.
Dugubu is also useless!
Thinking of this, he looked at Liu Lugu.
Liu Lugu is the younger brother of Liu Hu. After Liu Hu was defeated and fled, he became the successor of the Tiefu Xiongnu. He currently also leads the Dugu tribe and is the son-in-law of Tuoba Yulu.
The Dugu tribe and the Tiefu tribe have an inexplicable relationship, and they may even have the same origin.
During the Jian'an period, the Xiongnu Huchuquan Chanyu entered the dynasty, and Cao Cao retained him, sending King You Xian to Bei ("Book of Wei" calls him King Zuo Xian, which is wrong) to supervise the country.
Liu Meng, the son of Qubei, rebelled in the seventh year of Taishi (271) of the imperial dynasty and was killed by Li Ke, the governor of the left side of the Xiongnu.
After Liu Meng's death, his son Fu Lun fled with some of his troops and defected to Tuoba Xianbei, who was the predecessor of the Dugu tribe.
Liu Meng's younger brother Gao Shengyuan commanded the rest of the army and passed it to Liu Hu. He first surrendered to Liu Han. After being defeated by Tuoba Xianbei, he crossed the Yellow River and fled to the west. He lived in Shuofang and took the initiative to attack Tuoba Xianbei again. , finally surrendered after a great defeat.
The Dugu tribe has too few people, while the remaining Tiefu tribe has a large number of people. Tuoba Yulu married his daughter to Liu Lugu and let them take charge of both tribes - in fact, they are already one tribe, good for the Xiongnu A noble species, Liu Lugu is a descendant of King Youxian of Zhengerbajing, and his ancestor was also the master of the Dugu tribe, so there is no legal or bloodline obstacle.
“Since the army has gathered, how can we not let go of a single target?” Tuoba Yulu took a few steps in the tent, looked at the thick smoke outside, and said in loud Xianbei dialect: “The Central Plains is in chaos and divided. They have become several tribes. Their people are in chaos and exhausted, and our people are steady, brave, resolute, and smart. This will be a good time for me to let the Huns in Bingzhou go south. The leader is loyal to me and allows the people of the Central Plains to accept my arrangement. You, the prominent nobles who follow me, will replace the ancient families of the Central Plains and become the new rulers. Get ready and go south to inspect Pingcheng the day after tomorrow." >
"Yes." Everyone responded in a hurry.
The voices were not very uniform, and the attitudes were also different. It was like some people were eager to go south quickly, some were indifferent, and some wanted to see Tuoba Yulu defeated.
The interior of Tuoba Xianbei was also a mess.
