Five hundred straight to the royal court
With Mr. Guo’s prestige and strength today, the powerful people in Youzhou have trembled and dared not act rashly.
A government order was issued, and Xian Yufu took action immediately.
Guo Peng asked Youzhou to mobilize 50,000 civilians and ask Youzhou to provide some of the food needed for marching and combat.
After all, long-term battles cannot solve the problem of eating with just a pack of dozens of kilograms of jerky, so the logistics still have to keep up.
The risk of fighting is very high, so we have to make preparations. Bingzhou needs to be built in a mess. If it is urgent, then forget it. In this battle, Jizhou will provide some supplies, and Youzhou will also provide some supplies.
In these parts, the powerful landlords in Youzhou and Jizhou have once again made efforts.
In order to please Guo Peng and to make Guo Peng happy, they could give them some care, they all "generously donated money" and used money and grain to help the army. They also took out private soldiers and slaves from their homes to join the civilians and auxiliary soldiers to serve the army.
The Youzhou tycoon was very strong under the leadership of Xian Yufu. Xian Yufu mobilized his family and the family spent 30,000 kilograms of grain and 500 civilians.
This is not too much. There are also some wealthy and wealthy people who have money and food to pay 40,000 kilograms of grain in one breath. Some people pay for money.
Everyone is positive, just like they are fighting a war.
Their efforts have reduced Guo Peng by nearly one-third of the financial burden.
This battle was deduced by the staff before the war. Xi Zhong and others believed that Guo Peng should first attack the Xianbei people, the closest to the frontier and the largest number of Kirby's energy team.
After destroying the Kirbyn tribe, the Xianbei tribes in the area of Danhan Mountain were wiped out, and then the Xianbei tribes in the west were advanced to the south and the Xianbei tribes north of Youbeiping in the east.
If more than ten years have passed, Budugen and Kirby can unify a considerable number of Xianbei leaders with famous surnames and form relatively powerful combat power. However, at present, the Xianbei people who had just split for a few years are far from reaching local unification.
Give them a few more years, and there will be some local kings like Guo Peng among them, but they are definitely not now.
This time is very clever. The Xianbei people are strewn with loose sand and it is difficult to gather, but near the Xianbei royal court in Danhanshan, there are definitely the largest number of Xianbei people gathered.
On March 10, Guo Peng led his army to Ning County, Shanggu County. The former Huwuwan Camp Captain's garrison was also his earliest place to make his fortune. He met the 30,000 Wuwan Spirit Cavalry from Nanlou and went north together.
The Xianbei people were not completely unaware of Guo Peng's large-scale military operations, but they were not aware of it at the beginning.
When they realized it, Guo Peng had already rushed over with great momentum.
Kirby was able to find out that Guo Peng's march was at the core of his rule. He was shocked and immediately sent people to continue to investigate the news. Then he urgently gathered troops to prepare for resistance. At the same time, he contacted the surrounding small and medium-sized tribes and called on everyone to join forces to fight against the Wei army's advance.
On March 15, two troops, Cao Chun and Cao Xiu, the Wei pioneer soldiers, met two Xianbei cavalry.
They were not many, and they were made of dumplings by the three thousand pioneers led by Cao Chun and Cao Xiu, and then they escaped twenty or thirty people, and the rest were caught.
Cao Chun and Cao Xiu asked them about the information that Kirby was gathering troops to prepare for resistance, and then killed them and went back to report to Guo Peng. Guo Peng made a quick decision to instruct the army not to stop, and advance toward Danshan Mountain at full speed and attack the royal court.
Cao Chun and Cao Xiu jointly led a 10,000 vanguard army to first rush to the Khan Mountain, and Guo Peng led a large army to follow closely behind.
On March 21, the Wei army's vanguard army encountered more than 5,000 vanguard troops of the Kirbyn team's Xianbei army dozens of miles south of Danhan Mountain.
The two sides had a chaotic war, and the Xianbei army was defeated and defeated by the Wei army. They fled in a panic. Cao Chun and Cao Xiu considered that they would meet the main force of the Xianbei army in the future, so they did not move forward rashly.
What they did was right. Although it was hasty, Kirby also urgently gathered a cavalry team of more than 30,000 people and prepared to resist.
Of course, he didn't know that Guo Peng was flocking to him with 80,000 cavalrymen. If he knew, he would definitely choose to escape instead of fighting hard.
He didn't know why he was regarded as an enemy by Guo Peng, so he suddenly came to attack him.
It was obvious that everyone was in peace before, and he was even discussing with Bu Dugen to pay tribute to Guo Peng, give him tribute, and then request to open a border market and trade with each other.
Then you can rely on Guo Peng's power to develop your own power on the grassland.
This is how the previous predecessors developed, and he planned to follow suit.
But he never expected that what was coming to him was not Guo Peng's kindness, but Guo Peng's murderous intent.
Tens of thousands of cavalry swarmed in black, carrying strong murderous intent, which made Kirby's scalp numb.
After a while, Kirby realized that his preparation was not sufficient, because Guo Peng's cavalry was obviously more numerous than him.
If the Xianbei was still complete, 100,000 cavalry could be taken out. There was no need to be afraid of Guo Peng, and he could fight him directly, but now...
Kirby could grit his teeth, his face full of resentment.
The subordinates asked him what to do, what else could he do?
There is no other way except to bite the bullet and fight. Would you say you want to escape now? Isn’t that asking for death?
So Kirby was able to order to prepare for battle. As soon as the order was issued, Guo Peng ordered the Wei army to start attacking.
The Wei cavalry divided into three groups and rushed towards the Xianbei cavalry, detouring on the left, detouring on the right, and a stormtrooper in the middle.
Leading the stormtroopers were the powerful Zhang Fei and Cao Hong, while on the left and right wings were Zhao Yun, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Xiu and Cao Chun.
Zhang Fei’s war is a characteristic of a loud voice. The sound of war drums rumbling, and Zhang Fei held the spear in his hand tightly and shouted: “My sons! Come with me to kill the enemy!!!”
The sound was so loud that even Guo Peng, who was in the central army, could hear it.
With such a mighty general, the Wei cavalry charged forward with a hundredfold morale.
Cavalry fights with three axes, riding and shooting, fighting each other, and then chasing whoever wins will chase.
Riding and shooting is the secret skill of nomads relying on to fight against the Han people. It once caused great trouble to the Han people, making the military formations that the Han people were good at could not perform as they should.
Until the Han people also learned to ride and shoot, established a fierce cavalry team, and learned to use other throwing weapons, they crushed the nomads with more sophisticated equipment and techniques.
It is not just a joke to be a man of five barbarians.
The key skill of the cavalry under Guo Peng is riding and shooting. He is very proficient in riding and shooting. He is also a good player with a ring-headed knife and a spear, and throwing with a hand axe is even more a good player. Therefore, in this simple cavalry contest, the Wei army did not lose at all.
Whether it is riding or attacking, it is remarkable.
Zhao Yun led the team to play riding and shooting. The Han cavalry in the team were all able to train riding on horseback since childhood, but they suppressed the Xianbei cavalry on the opposite side, forcing them to rush forward to play hand-to-hand combat with Zhao Yun.
When Zhang Fei led the team to attack, a series of hand-hooked axe threw the Xianbei people on the opposite side and overturned the horses, and then they all carried spears to charge. The sharp and sharp spears pushed the Xianbei people to pieces.
In order to show his feelings, Nanlou brought the Wuwan Jingqi to beat up the Xianbei cavalry team he was facing with his archery and long sword. The old guy was almost sixty and still so fierce.
The Xianbei people did not have such good technology to make such good weapons. After Guo Peng nominally unified Hebei, he imposed a certain degree of iron blockade and craftsman blockade on them, making it impossible for them to obtain the technology and iron tools of the Han people in the Central Plains.
It is a delusion to want to equip the army by just smuggling and plundering the resources obtained.
There is no doubt that the Wei army won the battle in a crushing manner.
