Chapter 293: Brilliant Victory! [Subscribe]

Dian Wei cut a bloody path through the crowd and charged forward.

Dozens of feet away, Tuo Boben looked panic-stricken and turned his horse around again, ready to flee.

However, he saw that the Han general jumped up, ran several steps in the air, and suddenly approached him.

"Afuyu!"

Afusu is a legendary Xianbei warrior who has been famous for decades. From the time of the last Xianbei leader Tan Shihuai to the present, he has held a high status in the Xianbei.

The Xianbei people said that he possessed infinite power.

It is said that Afuyu can walk in the air.

When Tuo Boben saw Dian Wei flying in the air, he blurted out Afu Yu's name.

Walking in the air was a forbidden area for gods in the Xianbei legend.

Tuo Boben was so distracted that he even lost the courage to fight.

Dian Wei approached in an instant and threw a punch into the air.

When he threw this punch, the surrounding area was held in place by a force as heavy as a mountain.

Tuo Boben and several of his personal soldiers around him not only found it difficult to move, but also had the illusion that although they were on a battlefield surrounded by thousands of troops, they were alone facing Dian Wei.

In everyone's mind, the only thing left was Dian Wei's extremely powerful fist, which kept getting bigger and closer.

Click!
Tuobo felt as if all the bones in his body were broken. He was thrown into the air and flew towards Zhao Yun who was leading his troops to charge on the other side.

"Zilong, I've returned the person to you."

Dian Wei shouted loudly, fell back into the crowd and started charging.

On the other side, Zhao Zilong swung his spear in the air, breaking Tuo Boben's cervical vertebrae as he fell, killing him instantly.

A little further away, the little servant Lan was rushing towards the battlefield.

But as he rushed forward, he saw Aluhuanli and Tuoboben, two famous Xianbei warriors and tribal leaders, being killed one after another.

On the battlefield, Cao's army quickly suppressed the scattered and panicked Xianbei tribes.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the little servant Lan did not dare to continue charging forward. He turned around and led the team to draw an arc, trying to run back.

He wanted to go back and tell his father, the old servant Lan.

This Han army is extremely elite and difficult to defeat.

"King Wei, shall we chase after the fleeing team?"

On the high ground on one side of the battlefield, Cao Chun followed Cao Cao.

Cao Cao nodded slightly, and Cao Chun immediately rode his horse and led a group of personal troops to chase after Xiao Pu Lan.

Cao Cao urged his horse to approach the battlefield.

During the process, some Xianbei soldiers saw that Cao Cao had a special status and that he had few soldiers to protect him, so they risked their lives to rush forward.

But as soon as the Xianbei soldiers got closer, a sharp aura suddenly appeared around Cao Cao, and blood marks immediately appeared between the eyebrows of all the Xianbei soldiers.

A ray of sword light stretched out from the void and then retracted.

Wang Yue's sword.

"Your swordsmanship has improved rapidly in the past few years," Cao Cao said.

"The King of Wei has been blessed with good fortune in the world. We are all benefiting from your service. Our military fortunes are increasing day by day, and we will naturally be promoted faster." Wang Yue's cold voice came from behind.

"Can you now be called the best swordsman in the world?"

"The abyss hides tigers and leopards. Our China has vast mountains and rivers, and rich resources. There may be people lurking in the abyss. I am not worthy of it, but I may be among the top three." Wang Yue said modestly.

The two chatted briefly, but Cao Cao's eyes were still on the battlefield.

In addition to Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, and Gao Shun leading the Xianzhen Camp, Xu Chu commanded the forty-eight heavy cavalry, who also looked down on those who stood in his way.

Sweep away all enemies.

“According to the information collected before the war, there are four major tribes surrounding the Eastern Xianbei king’s tent.

And there are more than ten tribes within a hundred miles around, which is the core of the entire Eastern Xianbei?" Cao Cao asked.

"Yes."

This time it was Jia Xu's voice.

He was in the dark and did not show up.

Cao Cao looked around and saw that it was already bright.

"Send the order, after defeating Aluhuan's tribe, go east and defeat Pilou's tribe, then call off the troops and start the second step of the plan."

……

The sky was grey and it was a cloudy day.

The clouds were so low that it was hard to breathe.

The people on the ground were as gloomy as the sky.

In the morning, tribal leaders including Lao Pulan, Qujinnai, Wuxuyu, Tuolue and others led their troops to the Xianbei king's tribe.

They were far away and only gathered their troops after daybreak, and came to support after they joined forces.

Cao's army withdrew half an hour before they arrived.

The post-war scene of the remaining Eastern Xianbei kingdom before their eyes shocked the Xianbei people.

There were corpses and collapsed tents everywhere.

The ruins, broken flags and weapons left after the flames.

Several tribal leaders, along with a few surviving defeated soldiers, cried:
"We heard a noise in the middle of the night and rushed out of the tent, and saw those extremely long Han arrows everywhere."

“Many people were shot in their sleep.”

Lao Pulan and other tribal leaders looked humiliated, angry, and... terrified.

Inside the tribe, the collapsed tents were covered with arrow holes.

But not a single arrow remained.

After attacking the camp, Cao's army apparently cleaned up the battlefield before leaving calmly.

Outside the camp, the wooden fence was shattered into sawdust, as if it had been trampled by thousands of bison.

The old servant Lan squatted on the ground, staring at a few particularly large hoof prints, silent.

The eyes of the other leaders also fell on the row of giant hoof prints.

"There was a team of Han soldiers wearing armor as thick as an iron wall. Even a scratch would be difficult to make if they were slashed with a sword.

The horses they ride are at least a head taller than ordinary horses."

"Stop their people, horses, and tents. Once they charge, you will be swept under their hooves and crushed to pieces."

Two wounded soldiers came in one after another with terrified looks on their faces.

Lao Pulan and others came to the center of the tribe.

The large roof of the king's tent had been taken away.

Among the nomadic peoples, a tribe had its king's tent removed. It had to change its name from then on and could no longer use the original name after the king's tent was removed.

What a humiliation!
Outside the king's tent, the bodies of dead Xianbei generals and tribal leaders were piled up.

Including Alu Huanli, Tuoboben, Xiao Pulan, Murong Tuoye's woman, and other relatives, no one was alive and their bodies were piled up.

All the bodies were headless. On the wall of a collapsed tent, there were a few Chinese characters written in a flamboyant style: "We will take the heads back to build a Jingguan."

This is naked provocation and contempt.

Some Xianbei people who knew Chinese characters read out these words, and there was a moment of silence around them, with only the heavy breathing of several tribal leaders remaining.

"Where is the leader? Such a big thing has happened. Let's summon him back." The old servant Lan cried.

A few days ago, Murong Tuoye said that he wanted to go to the Central Xianbei to discuss an alliance to attack Han.

He left the afternoon before yesterday, when Cao Cao was still on his way.

If Murong Toye was here, the surprise attack last night would have turned him into one of the corpses on the ground.

The leaders of the tribes, including Lao Pulan, discussed:

"They came in the early morning and spent most of the night to not only break into the king's tent and take away the big top, but also attacked the four core groups nearby, including A Luhuan.

The death toll has not yet been counted, but it must be very heavy.”

The old servant Lan's voice was so hoarse that it was almost inaudible:
"Judging from some of the information given by those who have escaped and are still alive, the attacking Han army probably numbered around 10,000."

Another tribal leader, Wu Yu, had a scar on his left cheek from falling off a horse when he was young. He said grimly: "The Han people will not die well.

When all our units are gathered together, we still have more than 20,000 soldiers and horses.

If you bully us Xianbei like this, any Xianbei with a bit of blood in their veins will fight the Han people to the last man. We should chase them and fight to the death."

The eyes of several other tribal leaders were all red.

Old servant Lan: "We can't chase them now."

"We need to contact the entire Xianbei and let them see what the Han people have done. They invaded our ancestral land and slaughtered cattle, sheep, the elderly and the weak. I believe that no Xianbei people will tolerate the atrocities of the Han people.

Look at the words left by the Han people.

He is trying to provoke us. If we chase him, I am sure we will be ambushed by him."

"Have you forgotten the kind of arrows they have?

If the Han army ambushes us on the way and fires arrows at us, our losses will be even greater."

The old servant Lan spoke slowly,
“My son, Xiao Pulan, is also dead, and I wish I could eat the flesh of the Han people.

But we have to wait until we have united with the Xianbei tribes, and then go south together to take revenge, so that the Han people can pay with blood, and retaliate against them with even more brutal killings..."

woo-

The voice was low and echoed for dozens of miles. It was a warning from the outer scouts using a war horn.

Everyone was stunned. What kind of warning was this?
The old servant Lan suddenly shouted: "They are pretending to retreat, waiting for us to gather together, and then they will come back to kill us..."

Before he finished speaking, a sharp sound was heard, and a cold light of a weapon flashed by.

Arrows of the Han army!

The old servant Lan's voice suddenly stopped.

He was pushed by the person next to him, but was still shot in the shoulder and fell unconscious.

Then there was a barrage of arrows, as if it were a repeat of last night's scene.

Cao Cao said that he would inflict heavy damage on the Eastern Xianbei. Now that we have made enemies, we must kill them!
There is no way he could kill me, he would just run away after touching me.

Attack the king's tent in the early morning, kill the first wave and then evacuate.

The surrounding Xianbei tribes will certainly gather to support.

At this time, the second wave of Cao's army could counterattack and annihilate the enemy in an all-out manner, thus inflicting real heavy damage.

The essence of this raid is the sudden counterattack.

Cao Cao dared to fight back even though the nearby tribes had gathered. This was either because he was too arrogant or because the Eastern Xian were so weak that they could follow the Han army.

Cao Cao formulated his battle plan after repeated deductions and calculations.

Starting from the time when Qu Yi ambushed Murong Baizhi last year, plus the 40,000 troops of Eastern Xianbei who were defeated southward not long ago.

And the blow caused by the attack last night.

These casualties have destroyed the main force of the Eastern Xianbei.

At the height of the Eastern Xianbei's power, they had no more than 80,000 to 90,000 soldiers, and not all of them were elite troops.

After many battles, more than half of the Eastern Xianbei's troops were killed.

Cao Cao carefully calculated the remaining Xianbei troops before formulating a counterattack tactic.

At present, most of the elite troops around the Eastern Xianbei king's tent were caught off guard and killed by Cao's army after last night's attack.

The soldiers of the remaining tribes are not elite.

At this time, arrows broke through the air and shot everywhere.

The purpose of long-range crossbow suppression is to prevent the Xianbei tribes from responding and forming battle formations in the first time.

Then the heavy cavalry and the Xianzhen Camp rushed up, and Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao were still the ones commanding the light cavalry on the left and right wings.

The formation is still the same.

The Xianbei people never expected that Cao's army would be so bold that after attacking and breaking their camp, they did not leave but dared to come back to fight.

This time, the Xianbei people were also inspired to be brave and fight to the death.

However, the row of people who rushed up were swept away by the hooves of the heavy cavalry in the front row as soon as they met.

The heavy cavalry pushed forward like a steel fortress, like a meat grinder on the battlefield.

When the forty-eight heavy cavalry and the Xianzhen Camp were combined, the impact brought by the nearly one thousand heavy cavalry was devastating.

When heavy cavalry passed by, people and horses fell to the ground.

In the rear, Cao's army formed a battle array, advanced steadily, then took turns to rest and then fight again.

This is the military's wheel formation, which is good for long battles.

The sound of killing shook the wild.

time flies.

By the afternoon, the battlefield had become like hell on earth.

The remaining Xianbei people were so defeated that they began to flee again.

As night fell, after nearly two hours of pursuit, Cao Cao sounded the call for his troops to return.

This time they really left, retreating quickly to the south.

Cao's army rushed away in the night, their armor stained with blood, and more than a thousand casualties. Some people's hands were shaking from the long battle, and their long swords forged with fine steel had been blunted from chopping too many bones.

But the results were brilliant!
All Cao's troops were excited and bloodthirsty.

After this battle, the fighting spirit of these veteran soldiers became even stronger and unshakable.

[The elite Cao army under your command has been baptized by bloody battles, and its combat power has been improved to 'Ding' (the seventh in the heavenly stems), and has entered the ranks of the strongest armies in history.]

Cao Cao looked back at the Eastern Xianbei.

After this incident, the power of the Eastern Xianbei was greatly damaged.

The result of their weakness was that they would be swallowed up by other Xianbei tribes, including the Buyeo people who were their neighbors to the east, who would also be eyeing them covetously.
