Chapter 411 Out of the fortress (4/5)

"Han people!"

Xianbei generals were hysterical, waving their weapons and resisting with all their might.

Zhang Yan's big sword cut iron like mud, and killed the Xianbei general with one sword, and cut off his head.

"Don't underestimate me, Zhang Yan."

Zhang Yan led a team of Heishan Shen Iron Guards and Heishan Shield Guards, surrounded a Xianbei 10,000-person team in the area of ​​Juzhu Mountain in Yanmen County, and all killed them.

As the leader of the Black Mountain Army, although Zhang Yan was defeated by Xu Tian's military generals many times and was eventually subdued by Xu Tian, ​​Zhang Yan can be regarded as a brave general. He is a vassal figure himself and is not ruthless in killing Xianbei cavalry.

On another battlefield, the famous border guard general Qianzhao tried to use 100,000 cavalry to besiege 50,000 Xianbei cavalry, leaving the Xianbei cavalry nowhere to escape.

Unlike Zhang Yan, who was born in the wild, he mainly captured Xianbei prisoners alive.

He needed to create a Xianbei minion army.

Xianbei cavalry looked at the Han cavalry all over the mountains and fields and felt deeply desperate.

The pulling force has an additional bonus for suppressing alien races and has superior forces, so it is definitely not lost to the Xianbei cavalry who lacks famous generals.

The 50,000 Xianbei cavalry were unwilling to surrender easily, and repeatedly attacked the Han cavalry, trying to escape from the sky.

However, the Han cavalry was arrows falling like rain and they fought each other in close combat. The Xianbei cavalry attacked seven times and could not go out, killing and injuring more than 20,000 people.

The Han army surrounded the encirclement and trapped the Xianbei cavalry in it.

Faced with the surround tactic of encirclement, the surviving Xianbei cavalry had to abandon their weapons and surrender.

Gao Shun pulled out the spear inserted into the stone wall. The Xianbei general killed by Gao Shun fell along the stone wall, and blood stained the stone wall red.

The infantry led by Gao Shun forcibly attacked the city occupied by the Xianbei people and killed 20,000. The Xianbei cavalry in the city fled in scattered.

"Master Shanyu, Xu Tian's Han army seemed to have entered Yanmen County. Several tens of thousands of commanders were killed, and hundreds of thousands of people were lost!"

"How is it possible... the eighteen princes of the eighteen routes attacked Xu Tian. He didn't have enough troops to defend, so how dare he take the initiative to attack?"

The Xianbei Lord Bu Dugen was unbelievable when he received the news that the Han army had invaded Yanmen County.

The eighteen princes organized by Yuan Shao were gathering, and Xu Tian did not defend and counterattacked, which exceeded Bu Dugen's imagination.

Originally Bu Dugen was ready to go to the Hanoi County to join the alliance, but Zhang Liao and Gaoshun's army invaded Yanmen County, disrupting Bu Dugen's deployment.

The cities that were originally occupied by the Xianbei people have been gradually recovered by the Han army.

The powerful men in Yanmen County responded to the Han army, rose up and drove out the Hu people.

If this continues, the Xianbei forces will completely withdraw from Yanmen County.

"How many people are there in the Han army?"

"At least hundreds of thousands."

"Exit Yanmen County."

Bu Dugen heard that the Han army had at least hundreds of thousands of troops, so he made a quick decision to withdraw from Yanmen County.

"Mr. Shanyu, we finally occupied a county and gave it up like this?"

"If you occupy Yanmen County, you can loot at will, and you will be driven by slaves. How can you give up such a life easily?"

A group of Xianbei nobles protested and were unwilling to give in to Yanmen County.

Occupy Yanmen County means being able to be a ruler, which has made the Xianbei nobles feel a little happy.

If you get used to life in the Central Plains, who would like to go back to the Great Wall to be a savage?

"What do you know!"

Bu Dugen scolded many Xianbei nobles.

The Xianbei nobles calmed down a little.

"We can't be the enemy of the Han army in the head-on confrontation, we will only be defeated."

"It is better to retreat outside the border. When the eighteen princes attack Xu Tian, ​​Xu Tian will definitely dispatch the Yanmen County garrison to the Central Plains to participate in the war. When we make a comeback, the cattle and sheep will always be our cattle and sheep."

"Will this be more beneficial to us than head-on confrontation?"

As one of the Xianbei masters, Bu Dugen has his own way of dealing with the world.

The advantages of nomadic tribes against the Central Plains dynasty are their power to come and go like the wind, and the vast grasslands outside the frontier.

It is obvious that it is impossible to fight the Han army head-on.

Even Xianbei people know to play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.

"What the Shanyu said is that the Han army is brave and good at fighting. With our forces, we will only be defeated. It is better to retreat temporarily and make a comeback in the future."

"The population of Yanmen County, cattle and sheep, is still in Yanmen County. We will take it back in the future. The civilians who fled to the mountains will return to various cities because of the arrival of the Han army."

After discussion, the Xianbei nobles left Yanmen County under Bu Dugen and entered the boundless grassland outside the border.

Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Zhang Yan recruited troops into four groups and successively recovered the cities of Yanmen County.

Zhang Liao chased the pass in the north of Mayi County, and Budugen had withdrawn.

Only a few small groups of Xianbei cavalry who had no time to escape were left in Yanmen County.

The military advisor Xin Ping, who was accompanying the army, tortured the Xianbei scouts who were captured alive, and obtained information that Bu Dugen had escaped into the northern border.

As a counselor from the Central Plains, Xin Ping felt a headache about the tactics of the nomadic tribes: "The Xianbei cavalry came and went like the wind, and had escaped into the north of the border, and it was difficult to capture their traces. The general could leave his troops and horses, guard Yanmen, and then go to this team."

According to Xin Ping's inference, the risk of entering the vast desert is too great.

Especially Yuan Shao organized the coalition of eighteen princes. The Xianbei Lord Bu Dugen is just a lord in the middle of Yuan Shao's coalition of eighteen princes.

Xin Ping believes that a legion should be left to guard the passes of Yanmen County, focusing on defense, as long as Bu Dugen does not come to cause trouble.

As for Zhang Liao, the main force of Gao Shun's army returned to Jizhou and fought with the eighteen princes.

There is no problem with Xin Ping's idea, this is a conservative strategy.

As a military advisor, a legion's think tank should consider the overall situation and preserve its strength under any circumstances.

However, the main general was Zhang Liao, not Xin Ping.

Zhang Liao was a somewhat crazy and adventurous general, and was not interested in Xin Ping's conservative proposal.

"The task given to me by the lord is to bring the head of the Xianbei Lord Bu Dugen to see him. I cannot go back before killing Bu Dugen."

"What do you want?"

"Select elite cavalry to go out of the frontier, chase Bu Dugen and cut off his head."

Zhang Liao made a crazy proposal.

Zhang Liao followed Xu Tian to fight many times, but was influenced by Xu Tian. In this case, he firmly chose to go out to pursue the border.

It can be said that Zhang Liao is as crazy as Xu Tian.

Xin Ping's face turned slightly pale. He could no longer assess the risks of Zhang Liao's plan: "At least, we should wait until Gao Shun, Zhang Yan, and the three of us came to meet up."

"The soldiers are very fast, so you can't continue to delay, otherwise Bu Dugen will escape far away. I will lead the wolf cavalry to pursue you first. You stay at the border and wait for Han Gaoshun and Zhang Yan to lead them to follow."

Zhang Liao decisively sent troops.
