The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 319
Bingzhou, the northwestern part of Shuofang County, and Qingyanze.

There are more than [-] Xiongnu old and weak women and children gathered here, as well as more than [-] Hun cavalry.

Getting closer to the border of Shuofang County, and closer to the landscape of the Xianbei people.

The Xiongnu not only had to guard against possible pursuers, but also the Xianbei people who might come out.

The vanguard of the Yellow Turbans had routed a rearguard he had left behind.

Xu Bu needs to make a final decision.

Just as Xu Bu thought, there was indeed an invading army from the north, and they were Wuhuan cavalry, probably Wuhuan people from Shanggu County.

Along with the Wuhuan people, there were also some tribes attached to Xianbei, and these Xianbei people came to take advantage of the fire to loot.

Many fleeing Xiongnu tribes along the road joined Xubu's team, but most of these people were old and weak, women and children, and most of the young and strong died in the battle.

Now under Xu Bu's command, including the Xiongnu cavalry who joined in later, he barely gathered [-] cavalry, but this also made him have to allocate more cavalry to protect these old and weak women and children.

And at the time of escaping, Xu Bu discovered a turning point in the matter.

This is why the Huns stayed near Qingyanze.

The Wuhuan people in the north and the Qiang people in the west seem to have only occupied part of the territory, so they did not take the initiative to advance.

This also allowed Xu Bu to see the situation clearly.

Although the Wuhuan people and the Qiang people are allies of the Yellow Turban Army, neither of these two families is willing to have a large-scale confrontation with the Huns, which will consume their military strength, and they have the mentality of preserving their strength.

Since there was no help from the Wuhuan and Qiang people, Xu Bu decided not to flee south.

The scouts of the Xiongnu who stayed behind reported that the pursuing army was only a cavalry army of the Yellow Turban Army, and when there were only more than [-] people, they strengthened Xu Bu's determination.

Beyond the boundary of Shuofang, there are Xianbei people.

The boundaries of the Xianbei people are destined not to stay for long. Although Xianbei is not as strong as it was when Tan Shihuai was in power, it is still not something the Huns can defeat.

The Huns could only keep fleeing to the west.

However, traveling to the west is destined to be a road of no return. I don't know how many people will be killed or injured along the way to find a place with rich water and grass.

It is even possible that the whole family died on the way to escape to the west.

As soon as Xu Bu took the position of the Xiongnu Shanyu, the Xiongnu tribe encountered a crisis of almost exterminating the clan, which also caused Xu Bu's prestige to be greatly lost, and all the Xiongnu tribes lost confidence in him.

There are even rumors that Xu Bu was the murderer behind the murder of his predecessor, Shanyu Qiangqu, because he did things that angered people and resented the heavens.

On March [-]th, Xu Bu led a group of people to worship the ancestors of the Huns by the lakeside of Qingyanze.

Then more than [-] cavalrymen of the Huns were summoned by Xu Bu, and they prayed to the heavens and their gods together, and then, led by Xu Bu, they headed towards the east.

They will face the ensuing [-] Yellow Turban Army in the east of Qingyan Lake.

On the banks of Qingyan Lake, more than a hundred thousand old and weak women and children of the Huns watched their warriors head east.

They all knew that this would be a battle that would determine the fate of the Huns, and even whether the Huns would survive.

The ancient ballads echoed outside Qingyanze and in the camp of the Huns.

Accompanied by the continuous sound of horns and the thunderous sound of horseshoes, more than [-] Hun cavalry followed their Shan Yu and galloped towards the east without hesitation.

……

On the endless grassland, a large number of rangers roamed above.

That was the scout cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army.

The long dragon composed of khaki-colored flags slowly marched towards the northwest on the grassland.

Xu An was riding on the horse, his face was also covered with dust.

"How long."

Xu An turned his head and asked Yan Zhong who was beside him.

"Eleven days."

Yan Zhong tightened his shirt.

Originally, Xu An didn't want Yan Zhong to follow him because of his advanced age, but Yan Zhong insisted on following him.

The outcome of chasing the Huns and the results obtained determine the future development of the Yellow Turban Army.

If the Yellow Turban Army can win incomparably beautifully, then the Wuhuan people, the Liangzhou Army, and the Xianbei people will not dare to underestimate the Yellow Turban Army on the grassland.

Moreover, the Yellow Turban Army can also harvest a large amount of supplies, livestock, and people.

Xu An frowned, he still underestimated the pressure of logistics, the loss of this pursuit was too great.

The consumption of these [-] days is far more than the consumption of money and food for the inland battle in one month, and the supply line is too long.

Even if it weren't for the Xiongnu tribe who surrendered nearby, they could provide some food to the Yellow Turban Army, and the supply pressure would be even greater.

It is no wonder that during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the northern conquest of the Xiongnu even cost the money accumulated by several generations.

"Report!!!"

Just as Xu An and Yan Zhong were talking in low voices, a loud shout made Xu An raise his head instantly.

"Twenty miles ahead, we found traces of the Huns army!!!"

A scout from the Yellow Turban Army, full of excitement, rode up on his horse and reported loudly to Xu An.

Xu An turned his head to look at Yan Zhong, both of them had expressions of joy in their eyes.

Finally found!
Xu An looked up at the sky, it was only Chen Shi, and there was still a lot of time.

"Order the whole army to advance slowly, conserve energy, and prepare for the battle!"

After receiving the news that the Huns were found in the marching ranks of the Yellow Turban Army, there was a loud cry in an instant.

On the [-]th, for a full [-] days, they finally discovered the main force of the Huns.

……

Three o'clock noon.

The Yellow Turban Army slowly entered the battlefield set up by the Huns.

The Southern Huns relied on a mound and set up a big camp.

Xu An looked solemnly at the Huns' camp in front of him.

The scale of the Huns' camp was as large as those of the Han army outside Xiaquyang City in the past.

The waves were churning, and wherever they came into view, there were countless cavalry of the Huns all over the mountains and plains.

But Xu An didn't have a trace of fear.

The Huns cavalry are here in full battle.

This is the decisive battle site selected by Xubu Gudu, where the Southern Huns wanted to repel the Yellow Turban Army.

Gu Guduhou must have discovered that the Liangzhou army and the Wuhuan people did not continue to march, but instead stopped.

Knowing that as long as the chasing troops of the Yellow Turban Army are repelled, part of the situation can be regained and the current crisis can be resolved.

In the distance, the formation of the Huns.

People neighed and horses boiled, and countless Hun knights ran back and forth, raising waves of dust.

The black flags gathered together, and the loose black hair fluttered in the wind, forming patches of black clouds on the grassland.

Xu An led the conspicuous claret horse and stood under the khaki banner.

The military order has been issued.

Countless khaki flags waved.

The formation of the Yellow Turban Army is slowly rolling forward in an orderly manner.

Accompanied by the loud and clear sound of war drums and the unique sound of wooden whistles, the Yellow Turban Army slowly stepped into the battlefield.
